Chapter 1891 the end of the road
It was indeed beyond Cao Liang's expectations to find out the two enemies Xun Hong and Gao Jun. This also proves from the indirection that the methods Wang Jun used were correct, and even Xun Hong and Gao Jun could be caught, so how could the real Wu spies hide?
Cao Liang asked Wang Jun to increase the intensity of investigation and let the members of the Military Affairs Office cooperate fully to remove all the spies hidden among the surrendered troops like nails, so that the establishment of the navy will be extremely smooth.
Capturing Xun Hong and Gao Jun is just a small episode. Although it was a wish of Cao Liang, it was irrelevant to the overall situation. Cao Liang now has more important things to do, and these small things can only be handed over to Fang Bu to handle.
In addition to preparing for the establishment of the navy in Huainan, Cao Liang also always paid attention to the situation in the northwest. The Wei army fought on three fronts. While winning a great victory in Huainan, he also hoped that the northwest could achieve ideal results, so that Cao Liang would have no worries during the process of crossing the river to destroy Wu.
The progress in Liangzhou was very smooth. Ma Long and Wen Yang had destroyed the main force of the Tufa Tree Function. Tufa Tree Function led the remaining troops to Zhangye and defected to Sima Yan.
Originally, it was a great enemy, and Tufashu Ji should share the same hatred with Sima Yan and join forces to fight against the enemy, but even if they join forces, they may not be able to defeat the Wei army's attack.
But what makes Bald Tree more promising is that when he arrives in Zhangye, he clashes with Sima Yan and attacks Guo Tong.
Maybe it was because of Sima Yan's design to frame him, or Baby Tree no longer believed in the Han people, so when he escaped from Wuwei, he did not think of cooperating with Sima Yan again, but was preparing to swallow Sima Yan's power in one bite and use it for his own use.
This is also due to the temperament and bloodline of the Xianbei people. After they were deceived, they had no trust in Sima Yan and other people. Even if it was a great enemy, the Wei army's pursuers were behind him, and the Tufashu Zhineng was not prepared to work together with Sima Yan again.
Sima Yan had originally been able to withstand the attack of the Wei army, but to his disappointment, the Xianbei people were still not strong enough. After a few battles, they were killed by the Wei army and their last hope was also wiped out.
Sima Yan hoped to join forces with the Tufashu Ji to make the final resistance in the Hexi Corridor. He sent Guo Tong to meet the defeated Tufashu Ji and wanted to negotiate with him about the issue of jointly defending the enemy.
In Sima Yan's opinion, even if he and Bald Tree Ji had some grudges, they could still let go of the festival and fight against the enemy together in the face of Cao Liang, a common enemy of life and death.
Unfortunately, this was just Sima Yan's own wishful thinking. The Bald Treeman, who had long been blinded by hatred, had already red eyes at this moment. When he arrived in Zhangye County, he met Guo Tong who came to welcome him. Without saying a word, he killed Guo Tong with one knife and then blocked him and rushed into Zhangye City.
Sima Yan did not expect that the bald tree function would be so irritable. This was completely indecisive. Their two families fought in Zhangye, which could only be a situation where both sides suffered losses. This result was not beneficial to anyone, and it was only beneficial to the Wei army.
But when the Xianbei people came in, Sima Yan had to resist, so he could only fight with the bald tree function with his teeth.
In fact, the bald tree's ability at this time was already strong outside and the middle. After several battles in Liangzhou, all his strength had been consumed. The defeated brigade with only more than 10,000 people was already exhausted. Many Xianbei soldiers were all wearing lottery and had no combat ability at all.
Sima Yan's subordinates still have tens of thousands of troops. After resting for such a long time, they are full of energy. When they faced the Xianbei who suddenly rushed into Zhangye, they were caught off guard and were attacked by the Xianbei people and rushed into chaos.
However, the murder and setting fires after the Xianbei people entered the city, and the wanton massacre also angered most of the Sima soldiers. Soon the Sima army stabilized its position and launched a counterattack against the Xianbei people. The two sides fought and fought in Zhangye City.
The terrain in the city is actually not conducive to the performance of the Xianbei cavalry. In street fighting, the Sima army still has a considerable advantage. When the bald tree can find that the situation is unfavorable, the Xianbei people will almost lose all.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Bald Treemaster wanted to withdraw from the city, but at this moment, Sima's army was completely angry. They blocked the city gate and trapped Bald Treemaster in the city. In the end, he shot him to death.
This battle completely destroyed Zhangye City. In order to kill the Xianbei people, the Sima army paid at least twice the price of casualties. After the battle, Zhangye City became a ruin, with corpses everywhere, ruins and remains of fire.
This ending of both sides was a loss made Sima Yan mourn. What would it be like to kill the Tufashu? The remnant Jin forces did not gain anything, but instead exhausted the last little force. The Sima family is now at the end of their journey.
Zhangye City was in ruins, so they could not stay any longer, so they could only escape west to Dunhuang County.
But Ma Long and Wen Yang's men soon chased after him. With the remaining defeated generals in Sima Yan's hands, how could they be the opponent of the Wei army? So Sima Yan had no plans to stick to Dunhuang and continued to flee westward, escape from Yangguan, and fled to the Western Regions.
I thought the Wei army would stop at Yangguan, but Sima Yan was disappointed in the end. No matter where they fled, the Wei army would follow him like a shadow and pursue him relentlessly. Sima Yan and Sima You could only continue to escape in this vast desert.
There are fewer and fewer troops following them. The harsh natural environment of the Western Regions has caused countless Sima soldiers to die of thirst, starvation, and illness in this desert. There are still many Sima soldiers who have been deserted. Sima soldiers who can get to this point are already extremely loyal to the Sima family. These people are not even afraid of death, but in the desert, living is a torment, which is even more terrifying than death.
Sima Yan was also desperate. The pursuers behind him were chasing him relentlessly, and there seemed to be no hope in front of him except for the long yellow sand.
There is no hope of restoring the country and revenge. Even their survival is a huge problem. Sima Yan is too tired and he really can't walk. He knows very well that if he doesn't die, the Wei army will not give up. Only when he dies will the pursuit stop.
So Sima Yan ordered a few confidants to take Sima You away quietly, and he committed suicide by taking poison in the desert. Before his death, he ordered his men to hand over his body to the Wei army and let them all surrender to the Wei army.
