The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Time has passed, and now it is the spring of the 14th year of Jian'an (209 AD).

Four years ago, although the Jiangdong Army was defeated by Cao Jun, they had to withdraw from Chengdu, thus losing the opportunity to occupy Yizhou.However, Berkshire, which was captured by the Jiangdong Army before, is still firmly in its hands.Berkshire is the southeast barrier of Yizhou. With Berkshire in possession, the Jiangdong Army has the ability to attack Chengdu at any time, and even launch an invasion of Yizhou as a whole.

Therefore, Li Yan attached great importance to the defense of the south of Chengdu, and set up several beacon towers within twenty miles of the east, south, and west of Chengdu. City can have time to prepare for the challenge.

In the past four years, the Jiangdong Army in Berkshire launched several small-scale aggressions against Yizhou, but under the command of Li Yan and Sima Yi's strategy, they all returned without losing their troops.

The Jiangdong Army suffered the most severe loss, losing a lieutenant general, several military lords, and more than [-] soldiers died in battle.

Since then, the Jiangdong Army has not attacked Chengdu much.

However, the threat facing Yizhou is not limited to the Jiangdong army in Berkshire, Nanman is also a serious threat.

During Liu Zhang's reign, Nanman would often find some unhappiness for Yizhou, and the cowardly Liu Zhang often promised money and food to quell the disaster.Now that Yizhou has changed hands, neither Li Yan nor Cao Cao will naturally seek peace with the Nanman in this form of grievance, so the Nanman will also invade Yizhou from time to time.

The soldiers in Chengdu had to defend the Jiangdong army, and it was difficult to deploy manpower to deal with the Nanman, so Cao Cao could only send reinforcements.Cao Cao intended to wipe out the scourge of the Nanman in one fell swoop, so he led [-] troops with Xia Houyuan and Cao Zhang as generals, and went to exterminate the Nanman.

After the army arrived in Chengdu, Sima Yi joined it as a staff officer.

[-] soldiers, the number is not many, it is extremely dangerous to go deep into a strange land to fight, it can be said that it is a very unwise move.However, Meng Huo is still young and has not yet become the leader of the Nanman. At this time, the leader of the Nanman is a mediocre person who is blinded by profit and wisdom, and there is no real unity among the various tribes of the Nanman.Sima Yi used his unpredictable schemes to drive a wedge between the various tribes of the Southern Man, disturbing the peace of the various tribes of the Southern Man.

Just like the last battle against Qiang, Cao Zhang still performed the most prominently during this battle against Man, beheading several generals successively, even Meng Huo, who was the bravest among the younger generation of Nanman, beheaded by him. kill.

After the Nanman leader surrendered, he offered his daughter Zhu Rong as a show of sincerity, and Cao Zhang took her as a concubine.

Cao Zhang has made great achievements and earned a beautiful woman. He can be said to be the most glorious person in this war.

After returning to Xuchang, Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhang and other generals should all be rewarded.Cao Zhang was granted the title of General of Weinan and Marquis of Yanling.Although General Weinan's position is not very high, Cao Zhangnian was only nineteen at that time, and he was definitely young and promising.

You know, Cao Jun's number one general, Gao Shun, wasn't even a general when he was 19 years old.

Of course, in today's world, there are a lot of warriors named generals, which is not as rare as it was 20 years ago, but most of them are generals with miscellaneous names. It is also unique for Cao Zhang to obtain such a status at his age. .

During these four years, an earth-shattering event happened!

Cao Cao was promoted from Duke Wei to King Wei!

In the first month of the 13th year of Jian'an, the emperor canonized Cao Cao as the king of Wei, with [-] households in the city, and he was on the throne of the princes and kings. It can be called the police, the ancestral temple, the ancestors, and La are all made in the Han Dynasty. The capital of the country is Yecheng, and all the princes are named lords.

Less than three years after Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei, he was promoted to the title of king. Apart from sighing, the people in the world can only be awed by Cao Cao's irresistible might.At this point, the last illusions in the hearts of the few remaining ministers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty were shattered.Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Wei replaces Han.

It's a pity that the general trend of the world is so, how can it be easily stopped!

In July of the 13th year of Jian'an, half a year after Cao Cao became king, Sun Jian was unwilling to be left behind, and went to the emperor, saying that his contribution to the country was not inferior to Cao Cao, and please make him king of Wu.Cao Cao was furious when he saw the edict, tore up Sun Jian's application form on the spot, and cursed loudly: "Sun Jian is a man who lives in a corner. He can't support the monarch to improve the country, and he can't rule the country to calm the people. What virtue and ability are there? Compete with me!"

Cao Cao ordered the emperor to issue an edict to cut Sun Jian's title and title, and called it "rebellion".Anyone who clings to Sun Jian is a "rebel"!

When Sun Jian heard the news, he was also furious. In the end, he stopped asking for the emperor, and proclaimed himself King of Wu in September.

Before Sun Jian became the king, Liu Bei met him and said that Cao Cao's claiming the king was a rebellious act, and the lord was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and should not emulate him.At this time, Sun Jian wanted to be king, and he couldn't listen to Liu Bei's words. What's more, Liu Bei's remonstrance had great selfishness, so Sun Jian didn't care about it.

Liu Bei repeatedly persuaded Sun Jian to be irritable and angry, and loudly reprimanded him, and finally Liu Bei retreated in panic.
