The city is full of Yellow Turbans

Chapter 504, another three years

"My lord, Nanjun has fallen, Xiangyang Cai Mao has surrendered, this Jiangling must not stay for long, sooner or later we will not be able to keep it, why don't we withdraw our troops." Yi Ji helped Liu Biao and hurriedly persuaded him.

All the civil and military officials hurriedly persuaded, Nanjun is very close to Jiangling, Nanjun can't hold it, and no one in Jiangling will give hope.

Liu Biao was in great grief and could not stop weeping. First, he lost Kuai Yue, a great sage, and second, he felt sorry for Nanjun. Now the land of Jingxiang, Changsha, Wuling, Nanjun, and Xiangyang all belong to the enemy. How could Liu Biao I can't help being sad, but the situation is urgent now, Liu Biao had no choice but to listen to the persuasion of the civil and military forces and hastily led his troops to leave Jiangling and move to Nanyang.

Liu Bei defeated Nanjun. Under the cover of everyone's desperate efforts, [-] soldiers were killed by Xu Feng and Sun Ce, and only [-] remnants escaped. All the way north, Liu Bei went straight to Xiangyang.

Xu Feng followed closely afterward. On this day, Liu Bei led his troops to Dangyang, a river in front blocked everyone's retreat, and a man on a small bridge immediately blocked everyone's retreat with a horizontal spear.

This man has a leopard head with ring eyes, swallow jaws and a tiger beard, a black horse under his crotch, and eight spears in his hand. He is majestic and murderous. He is the three generals Zhang Fei Zhang Yide.

Zhang Fei led hundreds of remnant soldiers and did not go to Nanjun. Instead, he led the troops to Dangyang with a brain, and took the opportunity to block Liu Bei and others' return.

"Hey... Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are here, who dares to come forward and fight to the death with your three generals?" Seeing Liu Bei and others approaching, Zhang Fei pointed his snake spear at Liu Bei and stopped shouting loudly.

The flowing water under the bridge was surging, and the momentum was surging. On the bridge, Zhang Fei held out his gun to stop him, and the momentum was extraordinary. Liu Bei and others jumped like a bowstring. .

"My lord, look..." Chen Dao rode his horse up to Liu Bei, and pointed at the forest behind Zhang Fei. Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked into the distance. In the forest on the opposite side, there were shadows and dust, and a lot could be seen faintly. In the shadow of the yellow scarf flags, you can even hear the sound of galloping horseshoes.

"No, there must be an ambush here." Liu Bei yelled, turned his horse's head hurriedly, turned around and ran, but after running for a long time, he was chased by Xu Feng and others. Losing thousands of remnants, Liu Bei had no intention of fighting, so he had to take the remnants along the river and fled to Maicheng.

This Maicheng is just a small earthen city, with low walls and low walls. Not only are the people poor, but also it is very difficult to drink water. Hundreds of people can only rely on a small well that cannot be smaller. When they came, people ate and fed horses, which suddenly increased the burden of the people. One well could not supply so many people. Many people were tired and hungry, and they wanted to find something to eat. How could there be?
"Report, Xu Feng's army is less than fifty miles away from here."

"Boom..." Liu Bei shook his hands in fright, and the basin for drinking water fell to the ground.

"Assemble, leave Maicheng quickly." A small earthen city could not resist Xu Feng's army at all. Liu Bei hurriedly got up from the ground, got on his horse, and ran out of the city first. Although he hadn't eaten or drank all day, he escaped Not weak at all.

While Xu Feng was chasing Liu Bei, Sun Ce's army captured Jiangling without bloodshed. Zhou Yu and Gan Ning even went down the river, passing through the borders and capturing several fortified cities in a row.

Hearing that the Cai family surrendered and rebelled in Xiangyang, Xu Feng was very happy, and immediately joined Cai Mao's men to intercept Liu Bei back and forth.

"My lord, we can't chase anymore?" Knowing that Liu Bei and Liu Biao had fled to Nanyang, Guo Jia hastily persuaded Xu Feng.

"Feng Xiao, why didn't you chase after me?"

Guo Jiadao, "As long as I wait and take every step of the way and bring all of Liu Biao's Jingxiang under my command, sooner or later Liu Biao and Liu Bei will have no place to stay. Why rush it for a while."

Xu Feng nodded, understanding Guo Jia's meaning, the most urgent thing right now is to seize the territory, after all, Sun Ce's men have already started to act.

To make a long story short, after three years, Sun Ce has been triumphant all the way, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo. Not only has Changsha been stabilized, but Lingling, Guiyang, and Jiangxia have all been brought under his command.

Xu Feng occupied Wuling, Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang, Runan and other places. Under the fierce offensive of Xi Zhicai Xu Huang and Zhang He, Nanzhong was completely flattened. Finally, Xu Feng assembled a heavy army and launched an attack on Nanyang, the last territory of Jingzhou. attack.

At this time, Liu Biao had already been seriously ill, and he was only dying. In just three years, the land of Jingzhou was divided up by Xu Feng and Sun Ce. How could Liu Biao be reconciled? On the day when Xu Feng's [-] troops besieged Nanyang, Liu Biao vomited three mouthfuls of blood and died on the spot.

Liu Bei only held on for five days, then hastily withdrew his troops and fled all the way. In the end, all his soldiers were killed and wounded, and only a few people disappeared in the wilderness and deep mountains with them.
"What? Liu Bei ran away again?" Xu Feng was almost annoyed. This guy has escaped from his hands many times, and his luck is really ridiculous.

However, just after occupying Jingzhou, many things need to be dealt with, and the relationship with Jiangdong is also in the slightest, so Xu Feng had to guard against it. Immediately, Xu Feng sent General Zhang Liao to sit in Jingzhou, Samoke to sit in Wuling, and Xu Huang to guard Bajun. , Gan Ning Cai Mao guarded Jiangling, and the rest of the troops returned to Yizhou for a temporary rest.

"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's terrible plan, my lord, we have suffered a lot this time." As soon as he returned to Cang, Guo Jia hurried to Xu Feng's mansion.

Xu Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists fiercely, "Zhou Yu is indeed very cunning. They are located in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if Cao Cao's army invades, they can use the danger of the Yangtze River to resist the enemy. We are the first to face it." Cao Cao's hero."

Guo Jia persuaded with a smile, "My lord, there are gains and losses in everything. Jingxiang is located in Nanyang, Nanjun, Xiangyang. Not only are the fields fertile, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, the towns are also extremely prosperous, and they are all important towns with rich assets, comparable to Lingling, etc. The land is much more powerful, and Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers are not good at land warfare, so they will stick to the south bank of the Yangtze River and will not fight with the lord."

"Sun Ce is very self-aware. Even if these places are really given to him, he will not be able to stop Cao Cao's powerful soldiers from attacking in the future. He wants to use me as a shield, so how can he guess my plan?" Xu Feng The eyebrows were raised, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, revealing several meaningful smiles.

Guo Jia also nodded and smiled, "Naturally, General Zhang Yan has taken the land of the three auxiliary forces in Guanzhong, which echoes the Lord's justice. Whether it is to attack Yuzhou, Jizhou, or Hanzhong in the future, there will be no disadvantages, so even if you know Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are cunning, Feng Filial piety did not stop the lord."

Xu Feng and Sun Ce divided Jingxiang equally, Zhang Yan captured Guanzhong, and Cao Cao did not show weakness. Under Chen Deng's internal and external cooperation, he had already captured Xuzhou. None of the surnames was spared, and they were all buried with Cao Song. Cao Cao passed Xuzhou and continued to march into Beihai. Kong Rong and his family returned to Beihai.

The alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu also completely divided up the territory of Youzhou. Liu Yu was killed in battle, and most of his civil and military affairs belonged to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's reputation was greatly shaken, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of generals. After receiving the jade seal sent by Xu Feng, Yuan Shu's ambition was immediately exposed, and he directly abolished Emperor Xian, and proclaimed himself emperor in Yecheng in July 196 AD.

When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Cao was immediately annoyed. Cao Cao vowed to raise troops in Yanzhou and wanted to attack Yuan Shu. There is no trace of Liu Bei, and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are hiding in Xichuan. Who will respond to Cao Cao's call?
The most embarrassing situation occurred. Cao Cao shouted slogans, but no one sent troops to help.

"Everyone, what should I do?" Cao Cao gathered all the civil and military men together, his brows were tightly frowned, his face was gloomy, and Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. The plan to become emperor.As a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu was favored by the emperor, and he was the direct son of the fourth generation and the third prince. His ascension to the throne was completely different from Xu Feng, and it was almost unforgivable.

"My lord, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are all huddled in Xichuan. Even if they could send troops to help, they would not dare to send troops?" Xun Yu sighed.

"Why is this?"

"Whoever sends troops will die. Naturally, Xu Feng will not let go of such a good opportunity." Xun Yu smiled wryly.

"Sun Ce's foundation in Jiangdong is not stable, so he will not come to help, and Ma Chao in Xiliang is thousands of miles away, so I am afraid he will not be able to support the lord." Cheng Yu also got up and said.

"This...this...this..." Cao Cao was trembling with anger. Could it be that he was going to be alone to challenge Yuan Shu? After all, Yuan Shu still had a dormant Lu Bu lying beside him.

If you don't crusade, can you just let Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor and ignore it?What's more, the two families are very close to each other. If Cao Cao wants to unify China, he will have to face Yuan Shu sooner or later.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is nothing to worry about, why should my lord worry?" Hu Zhao twisted his beard and smiled, stood up suddenly and said with a smile.

"Mr. Kong Ming, now we have only 70 soldiers under our command, while Yuan Shuxiong has no less than [-] soldiers, and hundreds of generals. He governs Jizhou Youzhou and Bingzhou Qingzhou. They are all vast lands. It can be said that there are enough soldiers and food. How can we resist? "

Hu Zhao laughed and said, "Lü Bu, you forget righteousness when you see profit. You are a jackal. My lord only needs to send an eloquent person to promise great benefits and understand the benefits. Naturally, Lu Bu will not send troops to help. My lord, you must understand that Yuan Shu is just using Lu Bu. Sooner or later, he will annex the state and take his territory."

"Even if it is as expected by Mr. Yuan Shu, Cao will be powerless." Although Cao Cao is talented, but after all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, not to mention absolute certainty, even Cao Cao is not [-]% sure.

Hu Zhao smiled slightly, and walked a few steps in the hall with his hands behind his back. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he said, "Liu and Xiang Zhi are invincible, as we all know. Han Zu only won with wisdom; Xiang Yu, though strong, In the end, it was a fowl. Kong Ming stole the information. There are five defeats in art, and five victories in public. Fengshun leads the world, this righteousness wins the two. Because of the wealth of many generations, high-level opinions and concessions are used to gain reputation, and those who make good words of scholars will return to them. Treat people with sincerity and sincerely. It is not a vain beauty. , under the leadership of frugality, do not begrudge those who have meritorious deeds, and those who are loyal, upright, far-sighted and practical are willing to use them. It's not enough, the so-called benevolent ears of women are open to small things at present, and sometimes they are neglected. This kind of benevolence wins four things. Skills are good, but you don’t know the strength of your soldiers. You use less to overcome the crowd. You use soldiers like gods. "
