Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1823 Corresponding changes under the chain reaction

In life, it seems that every moment, every month and every year, there are continuous troublesome things that appear continuously and unexpectedly.

Cao Cao looked at the lights of the camp in the distance, his face was calm, but in his heart, just like the lights of the camp stretching far away in front of him, he wanted to calm down, but he had to heave along the ground.

Cao Cao's back was still tall and straight. Although he was indeed not big, no one dared to ignore him when he sat there. It seemed that he was born to be the focus of everyone's attention, like the bright moon among the stars.

In the past few years, Cao Cao claimed that he did not relax at all. From the day he became the prefect of Dongjun, he fought in the north and the south. He first attacked Heishan, then attacked Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and then put down Yuan Shu and put down the rebellion. Defeated Yuan Shao again, and then gathered Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and almost gathered half of the entire Han world!
However, all of this seems to be useful, and it seems to be useless.

It's like Cao Cao who holds all the military and political affairs in his hands, but sometimes he still feels like he's holding a handful of sand, and there seems to be something, but when he exerts force...

No matter what happens in life, it likes to happen when you are least prepared.

When Cao Cao prepared for a long time and wanted to fight Fei Qian, Fei Qian did not move. As a result, when Cao Cao couldn't sit still and began to gather Jizhou, Fei Qian ran out again.

The guards around watched the movement vigilantly, and occasionally cast some admiring eyes. Perhaps in the eyes of these guards, Cao Cao should be a majestic and powerful lord, a tall and stalwart image, but only in Cao Cao's heart, Only then did he truly know that he was actually a mortal made of flesh and blood.

It will hurt, it will hurt, it will be sad, and it will be decadent...

The lights stretched from the eyes to the distance, jumping in the night wind, like the stars in the sky falling to the ground, or like the cold light reflected by the swords and guns in the ranks of ranks.

Although at this moment, there are not many people in Jizhou who can stop Cao Cao, and the only two places left are Yecheng and Youzhou areas. It can be said that most of the areas north of Dahe are basically under Cao Cao's control. Holding the two most affluent states in the hands of the Han Dynasty, with the support of a large population, with the grand passes and important towns built by the Han Dynasty for a century, and more than [-] soldiers in hand, it should be said that the world should be just around the corner, but Cao Cao knew in his heart, What a terrifying existence that group of troops that ran across the northern region and swept across a large area of ​​Guanzhong and Longyou in a few years.

The question now is whether to continue to completely eliminate the remaining problems in Jizhou, or to return to the army immediately?The counselors debated endlessly, giving out the disadvantages and advantages of the two options, but only Cao Cao could make the final decision.

The night was quiet, with only the low chirping of insects around.

No one can give Cao Cao an answer, only by himself.

...(··)...

The sky had basically dimmed, but the lights above Luoyang City were brightly lit.

Standing at the head of Luoyang City, Fei Qian felt somewhat moved.

To the north of Luoyang City, Xiamen is still intact, and the turrets even survived, but the other Gumen is basically completely destroyed because it is close to Taicang and Arsenal, and it was one of the first areas to be ignited. The scorched black that was burned by the flames at that time still remains.

On the west side, the upper west gate has collapsed and has not been repaired yet.Yongmen looks somewhat like the city gate where Feiqian came in, and there is only one gate left in Jinmen and Xiaoyuanmen in the south, one water gate and one land gate. There were only pieces of wreckage left, like giant beasts that had died for a long time in the night, with only a few charred ribs slanting towards the sky.

It's worse to the east.

The upper east gate, the middle east gate, and the consumption gate were basically restored later, and they are incomparable with the original ones. Especially near the consumption gate, the wreckage of various buildings has not been completely cleared up to now.You know, in Luoyang City of the Great Han Dynasty, the mansions near the gate were all Sangong’s mansions, such as the generals, Sikong Taiwei, etc., all in this place, which is prosperous and beautiful. If it is said to be the second in the world, it is really hard to say who is first.

And such a majestic and magnificent capital has become like this now. Even after a long period of tidying up and repairing, it still cannot restore the appearance of the past.

Fei Qian sighed deeply.

The big man, maybe like this, gradually decayed and died amidst the flames of war.

The original garrison in Luoyang City, after learning that Li Dian had been captured, was in turmoil and collapsed, allowing Fei Qian to occupy Luoyang with little effort.From this point of view, Cao Cao sent Li Dian to defend Yu Luoyang, which now seems to be a wrong decision.But the question is, who else can Cao Cao send?

The paths of Fei Qian and Cao Cao climbing from the bottom to the top are completely different things, the directions they take are completely different, and the environments they are in are also very different. Therefore, Fei Qian can assign people with other surnames to serve as high officials in various places, but Cao Cao cannot.

It doesn't mean that Fei Qian's subordinates must be extremely intelligent and intelligent. Fei Qian's subordinates also have mediocre, even not so good people, but they can still get certain positions. In this way, Wu Neng saw Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, etc., and under Cao Cao, Cao XX and Xiahou XX would always occupy the front line, and then it would be the turn of others.

Even Xun Yu was actually restrained by Xiahou Dun. Although Xun Yu could mobilize part of his soldiers, it was limited to the vicinity of Yingchuan. If he wanted to expand to the entire Yuzhou, he could only go through Xiahou Dun, let alone cross states and counties. .

This point is caused by Cao Cao's innate conditions and is difficult to change.

If Fei Qian was in Cao Cao's position, to be honest, it would be difficult to make any decent adjustments.

Fei Qian has hardly relied on the power of the family since he was a child, so he was not restrained by the family much. However, Cao Cao relied on the Cao family and the Xiahou family no matter whether he was before Suanzao or after Suanzao, so Cao Cao However, such a result is equivalent to the monopoly of Cao and Xiahou's high-level positions. On the one hand, Cao Cao has to use it, because even if Cao Cao wants to break the deadlock, he will be blocked by others. Cao's and Xiahou's family teamed up to extinguish such a small flame. On the other hand, the dissatisfaction of other surnames will become more and more serious. After all, there is no room for promotion.
This vicious circle, after Cao Pi, gradually broke out hidden dangers, and finally led to the complete end of the Cao family and Xiahou family...

Li Dian and Luo Yang are a hidden danger that broke out under Cao Cao's model.

Xun You made it very clear that if Cao Cao wanted to attack Jizhou and accept the inheritance left by Yuan Shao, he could not rely on the hands of others, but could only rely on the personnel of the Cao family and Xiahou family. Xiahou and others are all concentrated in Jizhou, and Luoyang is on the one hand equivalent to the front line, and on the other hand it is dilapidated, so it can only be Li Dian, and only Li Dian.

Similarly, since Li Dian is here as the main general, it is natural that his subordinates cannot be the top soldiers under Cao Cao's command, at most they are second-rate goods, and these soldiers...

Ever since, under the suggestion of Xun You, who was so familiar with Cao Cao's situation, Fei Qian took Luo Yang almost without much effort.

However, Xun You also emphasized again, just like when Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he also felt a dilemma. The next point, Yangcheng, is the focus and difficulty this time.

Yangcheng is equivalent to the gate of Yingchuan. Unlike Luoyang, where Li Dian is the chief general, Yangcheng is garrisoned by Xiahou Dun. No matter the number or quality of soldiers, they are more and stronger than Li Dian.

At the same time, if Fei Qian's large army goes south, Luo Yang will also be threatened by the north at any time. Maybe one day Cao Cao will come out of that corner and block Fei Qian's return path...

Therefore, what should be done in the next step and what is a more secure way is also a question that Fei Qian has to weigh and think about now.

When it's time to wave, you can make waves, and when it's time to be steady, you must be able to hold on. Is this a real man... Although there seems to be something wrong with saying this, the general meaning is the same.However, other things can be considered. There is one thing that is quite urgent, which is to bring back the troops of Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie.

What Fei Qian didn't expect was that his success in Luoyang did not have a better influence on Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie, but instead stimulated Xiahou Dun...

……Σ(￣.￣)……

A night flitted high above the sky, and then headed south along the Luoshui River. After breaking through the cover of the clouds, it saw the flickering flames in the distance tearing apart the tranquility of the mountains and forests, and disturbing its original interest in foraging. There was a cry high in the sky, then it shook its wings, changed direction, and disappeared into another cloud layer.

Cao Jun arranged in a neat formation, tilted his head like a long snake, spit out his fangs, stuck out his tongue, ready to attack at any time, the battle flag crackled in the night wind, and under the battle flag Next, Xiahou Dun stood proudly.

No one expected that after receiving the news that Fei Qian had captured Luo Yang, Xia Houdun did not immediately turn to defense, but intensified his pursuit of Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling!

Noisy voices rang out from time to time, Xiahou Dun stared at the changes on the battlefield, and issued orders from time to time to make the army soldiers adjust to deal with the changes.

Although the number of Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie was small, Xiahou Dun did not dare to relax or underestimate them. He treated them like five or six thousand people. From Xu County to the mountains here, they continued to Matched with the army, advancing layer upon layer, in order to completely block Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling, and then wipe them out.

This is not a big battle, but Xiahoudun fought like a big fight. I don't know whether it should be said to be cautious or too cautious, but in a word, Xiahoudun's operation mode has brought great benefits to Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling. Trouble, all the way to contact, fight, break away, and then be caught up. In a whole day, I am afraid that there will be four or five hours of fighting and fleeing. From the initial point of contact to the present, the distance At least more than thirty miles, but still not able to completely get rid of Xiahou Dun's roundup.

The knife Zhu Ling was holding trembled slightly.

As a witness who experienced Taishici's battle in Yecheng, Zhu Ling thought that this time he could shine like Taishici back then, blooming dazzling brilliance under the city of Xu County, burning the most brilliant moment of life, but in At this moment, Zhu Lingcai deeply realized how dangerous and terrifying the seemingly simple and easy battle of Yecheng was in fact...

Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds, and everyone wants to be famous. When Zhu Ling saw Tai Shici's heroic figure, Zhu Ling seemed to have seen the most perfect goal in his heart, so Zhu Ling bowed down in front of Tai Shici, just like It is to worship the dream in his own heart.

This is not servility, nor is it flattery. Zhu Ling feels that Tai Shici is the real hero, the direction of his future progress. But now, Zhu Ling realizes that he seems to be a long way from such a heroic standard. Not a small distance.

If the cavalry wants to take the initiative, it is actually similar to that between men and women. The side that is close at hand has the upper hand. Whoever accidentally throws in and gets too deep will be in trouble.Today, no, yesterday, Zhu Ling got too deep.The original goal was just to rub it, but it turned out to be careless...

Zhu Ling couldn't be completely blamed, after all, after so many days around Xu County, Zhang Lie needed some supplies, but Zhang Lie also nodded in agreement and rested for a long time.

In the end, I didn't expect that after half a day, I was entangled by Xiahou Dun, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie tried several times, but they were blocked by the surging Cao army. Once they even almost broke through the formation of Cao army and defeated Cao army. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Cao Jun's backup arrived, and Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie had no choice but to retreat.

The cavalry is like a wanderer who wanders the world. He has infinite charm when he is wandering, and will attract all kinds of eyes from the big mushroom and the little widow, but if one day the wanderer is entangled and falls to the ground, the charm will dissipate He became almost like the sloppy Mr. Wang in the village.

Xiahoudun's strategy is very simple, that is to stalk Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling. No matter what troops find Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling, they will entangle with each other. Then the rest of the troops will immediately adjust their direction, surround them step by step, and compress the space for Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling to move. , finally blocked Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling in such a not very large area.

"How to do? Zhang Lie said, "Shall we kill them?"If we don't kill them, we will be crushed into the forest! 』In the mountains and forests, cavalry is not even as flexible as infantry. Once they really enter the mountains, they will definitely not have much good fruit to eat.

"You can't enter the mountain! Zhu Ling said immediately, was silent for a moment, and then emphasized again, "You can't enter the mountain!" 』

But if you can't enter the mountain, where can you go?
The approaching flames represented Cao Jun's further compression.

General Taishi, if you were here, what decision would you make?Zhu Ling gritted her teeth, thinking silently, suddenly a flash of inspiration...
