In fact, Sun Quan also wrote an article when he was preparing to crusade against Cao Cao.

In the crusade written by Sun Quan, he put himself in a position of absolute justice, and then wrote a bunch of Cao Cao's shortcomings.

Subsequently, Sun Quan also specially found someone to distribute this crusade text, wanting to expand his appeal.

But he didn't expect this thing to fall into the hands of You Heng...

You Heng directly compared Sun Quan's article word by word, and then scolded him all the time.

This You Heng's article is really about to scold Liu Bei and Sun Quan's ancestors.

And this issue of the magazine also caused quite a stir.

You must know that the current Cao Cao is a guardian saint in the hearts of the people, a man who has made greater contributions than the four emperors and five emperors!

Moreover, Cao Shuo also carefully explained in the magazine what Cao Cao would lose as a peasant class if he failed this time, and what it would mean to the people if the scholars succeeded.

Cao Shuo is not a fool, of course he knows how to write it is beneficial to Cao Cao's side.

When the people saw this, they were immediately excited and filled with righteous indignation.

Most of them feel that Cao Cao has done too much for them now, and the article also advertises that Cao Cao is dedicated to doing things for the people, and he does not hesitate to offend the most powerful scholars.

As soon as it was published, the magazine immediately caused a huge response.

The subsequent development, just as Cao Shuo thought at the time, soon came from the northern region that the rebel clan was suppressed.

It was none other than those who suppressed them, the people who usually seemed harmless to humans and animals.

Although it is said that the common people have not received authentic military training, in the face of national affairs, everyone is red-eyed with kitchen knives and hoes and the rebels are desperate.

For the people, now they don't know how long they have been waiting for a good day, and someone wants to take it away?

No way!

These northern nobles who were ready to rebel were suppressed by the people after only one day, and the property and land of the nobles were leased to the people.

As soon as this news came out, it also caused quite a stir.

Some of the scholars who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble suddenly lived a lot.

These nobles are not fools, and if they rebel now, they will have to fight against the people.

Although the power of the Shi clan is not small in the local area, in front of the population, the masses still have an advantage.

Besides, rebellion has been linked to the masses since ancient times.

If there is no mass base, what is the purpose of rebellion?

Who's following you?

Maybe I'll stab you in the back!

And when Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately felt very relieved in his heart: "Now, we can concentrate on dealing with the present!" ”

The Shi clan was basically suppressed at this time, which also allowed Cao Cao to withdraw his hand to deal with Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

These two people are the pillars of this battle, two ultimate troublemakers!

Cao Shuo and Cao Ang's army was still groping ahead, and a week later they reached the Runan region.

Here, it is Liu Bei's station!

And Liu Bei also did a good job of working with Cao Cao this time.

Regarding the number of troops, Liu Bei prepared 200,000 troops, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take Xuchang and destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

Liu Bei knew that the development of the Cao Cao region was too fast now, far beyond his imagination.

If one day, Cao Cao directly moved out tens of thousands of artillery pieces, then what else would he fight?

Just surrender and you're done!

Therefore, Liu Bei has been looking for an opportunity to use war to curb Cao Cao's development.

And now that Cao Cao held the imperial examination, he offended the aristocratic scholars of the Three Kingdoms period, and Liu Bei was ready to let the scholars and Cao Cao go to war first, and then take the men and horses directly north to steal the house.

So far, in fact, things are probably according to Liu Bei's thoughts, except for the corporal clan, which was suppressed so quickly.

In Liu Bei's original expectation, the scholars could fight against Cao Cao for at least three months, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan could take advantage of this opportunity to grope directly towards Xuchang.

But now, the Shi clan was suppressed by Cao Cao, but Liu Bei's side really couldn't retreat any further, so he could only fight Cao Cao hard.

Although it is said that there is no scholar clan, Sun Quan also brought a lot of troops, and Cao Cao's two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and it is inevitable that he will take care of his head and tail.

Liu Bei also firmly believed that he could defeat Cao Cao's army.

Cao Shuo is coming now, and he also brought 100,000 soldiers, and the strength of Liu Bei's 200,000 army is very different.

But in addition to the soldiers, Cao Shuo also brought artillery.

When he was about to leave, Cao Cao also asked Cao Shuo to give him a few cannons to open Sun Quan's eyes, but in the end Cao Shuo refused.

Because Cao Shuo felt that the power of artillery must be concentrated in one place to be powerful!

Moreover, artillery is fighting in the front, that is, it has to rely on numbers to crush the battlefield!

Besides, Sun Quan is still some distance away from Cao Cao now, as long as he defeats Liu Bei, he will not be in a hurry to find Sun Quan again.

This is the battle plan of one master and one vice.

"Ahead, it's Liu Bei's army!"

At this time, Cao Shuo was holding a telescope and was scouting Liu Bei's men: "Their strength is at least twice that of us, and this time there is also a general Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it's hard to say!" ”

"This..."

Hearing this, Cao Ang suddenly made a difficulty.

Twice the gap between soldiers, how can we make up for it!

And now you have to take the initiative to attack, even if Cao Shuo leads the troops, it is estimated that you can't beat it!

"But, we have artillery now!"

At this moment, Cao Shuo patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said leisurely: "When the time comes, you command the army, and I will bombard them with artillery!" ”

"Hmm... It's up to you then! ”

Although Cao Ang was very worried in his heart, there was no other suitable way.

At night, Cao Shuo led a group of soldiers to a high slope and occupied the commanding heights of the area.

You know, artillery, a weapon of destruction, has to play a role in a high place.

After setting up, Cao Shuo carried out a precise calculation, adjusted the angle, and started to fight directly.

Knock knock!

Two hundred artillery pieces fired together, and the sky was suddenly ignited by a flaming iron ball, and it exploded directly towards Liu Bei's military camp.

After all, Liu Bei and the others were still on the march, and the military camp was not a city wall.

Was this hit by a shell?

As long as a single shell landed in the barracks, three or four soldiers died in an instant.

The most important thing is that now all of Liu Bei's soldiers are panicking.

In combat, the most important thing to avoid is cowardice.

And Liu Bei had already been in the barracks for such a thing as artillery, and told them not to be afraid, as long as they were scattered at that time.

However, now the scene of artillery flying all over the sky also made Liu Bei panic directly.

The flaming shells hit the ground and set fire to the tent next to it, dealing a second damage.

The damage of such a big iron ball is really terrifying.

Liu Bei's military camp became a human purgatory in the blink of an eye.
