Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 Runan Chaos

In the middle of the night, heavy snow fell.However, both Xudu and Runan were in a chill atmosphere.

Xu Du's killing was naturally because of Liu Yu; while Runan's killing was because of Liu Bei.Oh, no, the reason for Runan's chilling killing is too complicated, so I have to explain it slowly.

In the first year of Jian'an, in the middle of winter, [-] counties including Shangcai and Pingyu in Runan successively raised their flags against Cao, claiming that Cao thieves controlled the government and killed ministers indiscriminately.At the same time, they were headed by Shang Cai and Chen Dao, in the name of avenging Liu Yu, the elder brother of General Xiaoqi, and gathered soldiers and horses from eleven counties and heroes from all over the place.After that, Chen Dao led an anti-Cao army known as tens of thousands, killing the magistrates of various counties to sacrifice the flag, and killing the rebels to establish their prestige.The momentum was so great that it shocked the world for a while.

Only a few days after Shangcai Chen arrived and raised the flag, bandits from all over Runan swarmed up, killed the county magistrate and seized the territory, and raised the flag in response to Shangcai's slogan. It seemed that they had really become loyal ministers of the Han family.

A few days later, Nanyang Zhang Xiu raised his flag to respond, claiming that the Cao thieves had disrupted the Han, and the whole world would punish him.A few days later, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou responded and claimed to send [-] troops to kill Cao's bandits.At this point, the world is in turmoil, responders are everywhere, and there are countless waiters.But Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others are sharpening their swords, and they seem to have the ambition to swallow the world.

Things have developed to this point, let alone Cao Cao's class of civil and military, even Cao Cao is a little scared.Fortunately, this matter has not been spread yet. If it spreads, Xudu may be in chaos.In addition, Yuan Shao didn't seem to pay attention to the affairs in the south, and he seemed to be restrained by Gongsun Zan, so he was indifferent to the anti-Cao incident.

The tigers and wolves in the north did not intervene, Cao Cao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and once again regained his composure.At this time, Cao Cao was not Prime Minister Cao who ruled the north. Yuan Shao was too powerful for him, so he was still very afraid.As for Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu, he ignored them.To him, both Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu were just men who could be captured in a single battle.But Chen Dao didn't pay attention to him at all.

Therefore, when he learned that Yuan Shao would not intervene, he immediately ordered Cao Ren to lead the army to set off secretly.He told Cao Ren that he didn't want to break Zhang Xiu, but only needed to contain Zhang Xiu's attack.Of course, he also told Cao Ren to order Li Tong to solve the chaos in Runan.In his opinion, Li Tong is enough to solve the chaos in Runan.

Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead an army to attack, and Yuan Shu also sent his general Ji Ling to lead an army to attack.As for Zhang Xiu, he listened to Jia Xu's arrangement and held Li Tong back.Although Chen Dao raised the flag, he did not send troops to conscript Xu.This surprised Jia Xu, and realized that maybe Runan could really be a help, so that Zhang Xiu could increase his military input.

This group of princes, big or small, was having a lot of fun fighting, but they didn't expect that the ambitious Yuzhou Mu also sent troops.Yes, Liu Bei has sent troops, personally leading [-] soldiers and horses, as well as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.He has put all his eggs in one basket. If he can't get Runan, he can lose Xiaopei.No, he probably expected that Xiao Pei would not be lost, because Lu Bu would not care about a mere Xiao Pei.Therefore, he attacked with the whole army, hoping to take Runan.

The chaos has long been doomed, and just after Xia Houlan led five hundred personal guards to Xudu, the beacon fire in Runan was finally ignited!

It was Ji Ling who started the war first. As soon as his servant entered Runan, he massacred the officials sent by Cao Cao, as well as the bandits and bandits nearby.But he is not stupid, he knows that the killing can only be stable for a while, so he releases food every time he kills an official.In this way, the hearts of the people suddenly gained.Don't say that it is so easy to have people's hearts. In a troubled world like the Three Kingdoms, people can buy people's hearts with a bite of food.As for the powerful scholars, there is no need to worry at all. It is important to know that Yuan's ancestral home is in Runan. How could the hearts of the nobles in Runan not turn to Yuan?

The officials were killed and the territory was robbed, how could Cao Jun be reconciled?

If he was just unwilling, there was nothing Li Tong could do. After all, he didn't have enough troops to counterattack.But Cao Ren's timely arrival made Li Tong's spine straight and he was no longer afraid of Ji Ling.

He first handed over the defense of the western border of Runan to Cao Ren, and then led his troops to attack Ji Ling.He knew that Ji Ling's men were strong and strong, and Ji Ling himself was also a general.Therefore, instead of rushing to counterattack, he first curbed Ji Ling's offensive and stalemate with him, waiting for Cao Ren to send troops, or surprise Yuan by himself.

As for Cao Ren, as soon as he took over the western border of Runan, he changed his previous strategy of only defending but not attacking, and had several head-to-head confrontations with Zhang Xiu, finally restraining Zhang Xiu's momentum.But Zhang Xiu was not a vegetarian either. Under Jia Xu's guidance, he made several surprise attacks, which forced Cao Ren to suffer a few big losses, and finally stalemate with him.

Cao Jun, Zhang Jun, and Yuan Jun were at a stalemate, and no one could do anything to the other. This made Liu Bei, who was rushing to Runan, overjoyed, and realized that his time had come.While overjoyed, Liu Bei stepped up his horse even more, taking down Xiacai first with a thunderous momentum, and then quickly took down Pingyu.The momentum is so strong that no one can beat it.Thanks to Chen Dao's prudence, he discovered the attacking Liu Jun in advance, and did a good job of defending Shangcai, which made Liu Bei unable to take down Shangcai for a while.But the situation in Shangcai is not optimistic. If there is no miracle, it will be broken by Liu Bei sooner or later.

Miracle, where is the miracle?

Not only the soldiers and civilians from Shangcai asked this question, but also Zhao Hongyi from Xudu.

Although Zhao Hongyi was deeply saddened by the death of his grandfather, he locked himself in the boudoir all day long.But even so, she also knew about Liu Yu's massacre of Qiao's family.She wasn't too worried at first. In her opinion, Wan Qian's power was enough to save Liu Yu, and she even felt a little bit of the pleasure of getting revenge.

But just when she was a little happy to get revenge for her grandfather, she suddenly heard that Liu Yu was arrested and imprisoned, and listening to Wan Qian and others discussing it, it seems... there is death but no life!
She was anxious, but she had no choice but to worry secretly until she fell ill again.

But now, she was leaning against the window with a sad face, looking out of the window where the snow was falling heavily.She already knew about Xuchang Palace, that is to say, she already knew that Liu Yu was bound to die.

"God, oh god, if you let him live, I'm willing to lose ten years of my life." The pale Zhao Hongyi murmured in a low voice, staring blankly at the snowy sky.

In fact, Liu Yu's shadow was imprinted in her heart at some point.Perhaps this is love, which has always come suddenly and without reason.And love is also the most selfless, it can make a person give everything for another person, including his own life.

Although what Zhao Hongyi said was light, it was still heard by Xia Houlan, who was practicing martial arts.Xia Houlan walked in gently.Sighing, he said, "Don't worry Hongyi, we will definitely save the young master."

"Brother Xiahou, why are you back?" Zhao Hongyi was taken aback by the sigh, but when he turned around and saw that it was Xiahoulan, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to recall what Xia Houlan said just now, and asked again in surprise: "Brother Xiahou, can you save Mr. Liu...?"

"Well, don't worry, I came here this time to save Young Master." Xia Houlan nodded heavily, as if to reassure Zhao Hongyi.Actually, it does.He regarded Zhao Hongyi as his younger sister, and seeing her haggard face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

After Xia Houlan finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Hongyi to speak, she said again: "But tomorrow morning, you must leave Xu Capital with Arong first."

"This... alright." Xiao Hongyi hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Seeing that she agreed, Xia Houlan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Then, he said again: "Hongyi, eat something first, then go to bed. Don't think too much, the young master will be fine."

"Mm, okay." Zhao Hongyi didn't smile for many days, but finally showed a smile today.Then, she ate something obediently, and climbed onto the bed to rest.

Xia Houlan watched her eat something, and saw her resting now, so she closed the door and window lightly and left.

After Xia Houlan left, Zhao Hongyi opened her eyes again, bit her lips and looked at the closed window, and murmured in a low voice: "God bless, Mr. Liu will be fine." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes again Go to sleep.

Zhao Hongyi had already rested, but Xiahou hadn't rested yet.He left Zhao Hongyi's boudoir, and strode towards Xu Chu and Zhou Cang who lived in the side room.He and the two of them agreed that they would discuss it overnight and arrange their respective tasks.

Just wait for tomorrow, let all of this blood flow into rivers!
