"Your Majesty, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's camp is empty, they... It seems to have escaped. Huang Zhongdao.

"How so."

Xu Ding hurriedly got up: "It's only one night, where will they flee?" I haven't received news of Cao Liu's withdrawal and breakthrough, what about your Pingjin? ”

Huang Zhong said: "The last general also guaranteed that no enemy was found. It was never possible for them to cross the Yellow River from Pingjin to the north. ”

"Oops!"

Xu Ding remembered Guo Jia's worries before, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were very likely to cross the river from other places. Because of the Yellow River on the border of Sili, the defense line is hundreds of miles, and there is always a place to cross.

Cao Cao has been subordinate for a long time, and he must be very familiar with the terrain.

"You send orders to the three armies, go to Pingjin to standby, I will go to investigate, and then go to encircle." Xu Ding got dressed and went out of the account and said to Huang Zhong.

"No."

Xu Ding used satellite plug-ins to survey the terrain within a radius of 400 miles.

Surveyed for a long time...

He eventually found that sixty miles west of Pingjin, there was Cao Liu's army, which was crossing the river.

Rafts were placed in the river to carry the soldiers there.

It's slow though.

But there were a large number of soldiers cutting wood and blowing up bamboo rafts.

At this rate, in three or four hours, the Yellow River will be fully crossed.

Even if Xu Ding ordered the whole army to chase after him, he could not stop it.

"Ugh...." Xu Ding looked at the sky and sighed.

Guo Jia walked over: "Your Majesty, do you know where Cao Liu went?" ”

"I already know. They were crossing the river about sixty miles west of Pingjin. Even if I rush now, it's too late. Fengxiao, this time we were careless. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, why don't you try to save it?"

Xu Ding took Guo Jia back to the account.

Xu Ding asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "Cao Liu is now crossing the river on a bamboo raft, the speed will not be too fast, and the lord can lead the army to cross from Pingjin to the north and enter Hanoi County." Hanoi County was originally a territory of Zhang Yang, and he has always been close to His Majesty, and His Majesty led his army to go, presumably the local forces there would surrender to the wind. After that, you can send cavalry to Hedong County to block Liu Bei. ”

"Are you in a hurry?"

"There must be a hurry."

Xu Ding thought for a moment. Now Jia Xu is attacking Chang'an, and Guan Yu is attacking Taiyuan. If he can annihilate the main forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, then Cao Liu will be declared extinct. The princes of the world will also look down on the wind.

"Anyway, Luoyang is already in our hands, and there is no need for our army to stay in Luoyang. Feng Xiao, order all armies, immediately cross north, we will eliminate Liu Bei in Bingzhou! ”

"Yes."

Guo Jia passed on the order.

Nearly 100,000 Chinese troops advanced to Hanoi County.

At this time.

Jia Xu's attack on Chang'an has made a breakthrough.

Originally, he planned to let the people outside the pass fill in the soil, and swallow Chang'an just like conquering Tongguan. But he didn't expect Cao Ren to fight again and again to stop Jia Xu.

In the continuous confrontation, Jia Xu lured Cao Ren into being fooled and besieged in Huayin.

Since then, the defenders of Chang'an have been weak and no longer have the strength to compete with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also gave up the plan to fill the earth, and attacked the city in the middle of the night, killing Chang'an in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Wenhe, Cao Jun has been blocked by us in the school grounds, and he will probably surrender soon." Wu Zhidao, the general who followed Jia Xu into the city.

"How many enemy troops are there?" Jia Xu stopped.

"According to the soldiers we captured, about 7,000."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to wait for them to surrender, kill them all!" You must know that the Cao army guarding Chang'an is the elite of Cao Cao's lineage, and they will not betray Cao Cao easily, not to mention that there are many fire oils in the school field, once they are used, our army will suffer heavy losses. Just don't do anything and kill all the enemies! ”

"Yes."

Wu Zhi led people to the school grounds, using firearms, bows and arrows, and shooting round by round. All the Cao soldiers who were about to surrender were killed on the spot, and none of them survived.

Jia Xu took people to the palace and met Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Emperor Han Xian has been controlled by the princes, turned around, and finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and in the blink of an eye, he is still a puppet for more than ten years." The general of the Sharp Knife Army followed Jia Xu.

"yes, it's sad..."

Jia Xu stood at the gate of the palace, hesitated for a while, and said to Hu Shang: "It is rumored that all the armies will strictly guard the palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave." I'm going to meet Han Tianzi. ”

"Yes."

Jia Xu entered the hall and saw Liu Xie squatting next to the dragon collapse and sobbing.

Jia Xu stepped forward and arched his hand: "Foreign Minister Jia Xu, meet His Majesty the Son of Han Dynasty." ”

Jia Xu claimed to be a foreign minister, and he had already put himself in the right position.

He is no longer a Hanchen, but a minister of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Liu Xiejuan shrank there without saying a word.

Jia Xu glanced at the hall, and there was a little eunuch standing in the distance, trembling. The whole hall was deserted. Jia Xu said: "The minister was also a Hanchen, eating Hanlu, but God does not bless the Han, so what..." ”

"After 400 years, the Han Dynasty has gone from prosperity to decline, from prosperity to withering, and now it is even more exhausted. Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven in the former dynasty, will be even more difficult if you want to live, but the minister is willing to help Your Majesty... ”

Jia Xu said this.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty also raised his head slightly and asked, "Aiqing... Are you really willing to help me? ”

"It's nature. I can help Your Majesty stay alive. First of all, you have to make a holy decree to count the crimes of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and list them as the criminal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and everyone in the world can punish them. Secondly, he ordered the officials of the counties and counties outside the Guanxi to go to Chang'an to resume their lives. and announced that from now on, the Han Dynasty will die. As soon as these decrees are promulgated, Your Majesty will be able to enjoy eternal wealth. ”

"You..." Emperor Han Xian struggled to stand up: "Aiqing... In doing this, how can I meet my ancestors and ancestors? ”

Jia Xu walked back and forth and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the one who knows the times is Junjie." Even the people in the rivers and lakes know the truth, don't your majesty know? In ancient times, Yao Chan was located in Shun, which was passed down as a good story, and now the Huaxia Kingdom has been established, and the Han Kingdom exists in name only. Although Your Majesty is not a holy monarch, don't you want to follow the example of the sages, be generous, and let the country and society to Huaxia Kingdom, and be a bright person? If so, Your Majesty will be very fortunate, and the world will be very fortunate. ”

Jia Xu quibbled for a while.

Emperor Han Xian was really fooled by him.

He wrote three holy decrees in a row and asked Jia Xu to release them.

The first is to scold Cao Cao and Liu Bei and announce their crimes.

The second way is to let Cao Cao's civil and military ministers, as well as the local army, go to Chang'an (this article may not be followed, but the promulgation of the holy decree also indicates that Chang'an is occupied by Jia Xu, and Cao Cao has lost his nest).

Third, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty announced the end of the Han Dynasty!

.......

The promulgation of the Three Sacred Decrees immediately aroused heated discussions among the people.

Cao's army, which was stationed in the west of the Wei River and the counties of Yongliang, was terrified.

At this time, Cao Cao returned from the Yellow River and traveled to Gaoling.

When I heard about Chang'an, I was horrified.

"What about Cao Ren? Where is Cao Ren? In the Gaoling Mansion, Cao Cao urgently asked Xiahou Jie, the general who came to report the news.

Xiahou Jie said: "Prime Minister, General Cao Ren was defeated to Huayin and besieged by Jia Xu. I'm desperate for help. ”

In addition to Cao Cao, there are also Xu You and Chen Qun in the tent.

Chen Qun said: "Huayin is in the northeast of Chang'an, far away from here. And Chang'an is occupied by Jia Xu, if we go to rescue General Cao Ren, we will inevitably fall into danger. ”

"I think it must not be." Xu You also said.

"You go down first." Cao Cao waved at the soldiers who reported the news.

"No."

After the soldiers left.

Cao Cao said anxiously: "Even if I want to save Cao Ren, I am powerless, alas..." ”

"Even Chang'an has been captured by Jia Xu, where should we go?"

Xu You arched his hand and said: "The prime minister must not lose confidence, he should regroup." ”

"Can you regroup..." Even Cao Cao himself was suspicious. In the case of controlling a large amount of thermal oil, it failed to prevent Xu Ding's counterattack on Chang'an, so what is the capital now?

Cao Cao sat down and closed his eyes.

Xu You and Chen Qun were also sighing.

At this moment, Cao Hong walked in from outside: "Prime Minister, there is a person from outside the mansion, claiming to have Sima Yi and a plan to dedicate to the Prime Minister." ”

"Sima Yi?" Cao Cao raised his head and said, "Invite him in." ”

"Yes."

Cao Hong took Sima Yi into the hall and met Cao Cao.

Sima Yi knelt opposite Cao Cao and said, "The prime minister has been defeated again and again, and it is time for life and death to be at stake. I wonder what the prime minister's plans are? ”

Cao Cao had heard the name of Sima Yi, and it was rumored in the market that he had extraordinary strategies.

And Sima Yi's hometown is in Luoyang.

It can be regarded as a talent under his rule.

Cao Cao did not answer Sima Yi's words, but asked: "Since you have come here, you must have a plan for me, why don't you say it?" ”

"Obey the order." Sima Yi glanced at Chen Qun and Xu You, and said with a chuckle: "In fact, the general trend of the world is clear at a glance, Xu Ding is strong, and all the princes are difficult to beat, and within a year, Xu Ding will be able to calm the world." If the prime minister wants to make a comeback, he needs to lead the war to the state. Then lead the army to the west, pacify Liangzhou, and then march south to Bashu, destroy Liu Zhang, with the danger of mountains and rivers, and Xu Ding, in order to have a chance of winning. It's just that I don't know if the prime minister still has confidence and courage. ”

"You want me to capture Xiliang and Yizhou?" Cao Cao asked.

"Exactly."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "You see that I have 40,000 troops now, and the grain and grass will be exhausted, why do you build such a great achievement?" ”

Sima Yi said: "The prime minister is too modest. Since the prime minister raised his troops, except for facing Xu Ding, almost all battles have been won. Although there are several warlords in Liangzhou, they are not evenly matched and suspicious of each other, and they can be captured with a little trickery. Xichuan Liu Zhang, weak and incompetent, if the prime minister raises troops to march south, it will inevitably be like a bamboo, how can Liu Zhang compete with the prime minister? ”

"Besides, if the prime minister wants to gain a foothold in the world, this is the only way, isn't it?"

Xu You arched his hand and said: "What Zhong Da said is extremely true, the prime minister must not lose confidence. ”

Cao Cao got up and walked over and held Sima Yi's hand: "Zhongda, I know that you have the talent to save the country, are you willing to assist me?" ”

"If you don't have this heart, why do you want to come here?" Sima Yi bowed his hand and said: "I am willing to serve the prime minister, life and death go hand in hand, and I will never hide it." ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao received Sima Yi's allegiance, regained some self-confidence, and said: "Let's regroup and take Xiliang directly." After that, we will compete with Xu Ding! ”

..............

At this time, Xu Dinh led his army to Hanoi.

As Guo Jia expected, the officials and local troops in the counties of Hanoi County heard that Xu Ding was coming, and they all expressed their willingness to surrender. This allowed Xu Dingbing to get Hanoi County without bloodshed.

Liu Bei crossed the Yellow River in the north, passed through Banpujin and Hedong, and went to Lishi County.

If you cross Lishi County and go further north, you will enter the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Xu Ding was anxious, and after consulting with Guo Jia, he led all the cavalry to chase after him, preparing to completely wipe out Liu Bei before he entered the state.

Liu Bei marched quickly.

In a few days, it crossed more than 700 miles and entered Bingzhou.

When passing by Lishi County, he left 3,000 military horses to set up an ambush, prepared enough fire oil and strong crossbows, and waited for Xu Ding's army to arrive and suddenly kill him. The unsuspecting Huaxia Army was hit hard and suffered many casualties.

Defeat the remnants of the enemy.

Xu Ding garrisoned at Lishi.

"I didn't expect Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to set up an ambush when they fled, causing some casualties to our army." Xu Ding said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, where is Liu Beijun?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Liu Bei obviously knows... We will cross the Yellow River north to intercept it, so the march is extremely fast. He has now passed through Jianxing County, less than three hundred miles away from Taiyuan. ”

"The soldiers are fast, Zhuge Liang is really extraordinary. Even the infantry army can march so fast. Xu Ding laid out the map.

Judging from the topography of Bingzhou, Liu Bei hurriedly returned to Taiyuan to defend the capital Jinyang.

"Your Majesty don't worry, Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army is almost all in Jinyang. If Liu Bei wants to win, it is almost impossible. In addition, we will rush to Taiyuan to help in a few days, and Liu Bei will definitely be defeated. Guo Jiadao.

"Fengxiao, don't forget, we are facing Zhuge Liang! Zhuge Liang is good at arranging formations and is full of scheming, and I am worried that Guan Yu is not his opponent. When marching and fighting, the strength and quantity of the army are secondary, and only strategy can determine the victory or defeat. Xu Ding didn't want to delay time in Lishi, and said to Dian Wei on the side: "Go quickly to pass the order, after lunch, each battalion will set off and go straight to Taiyuan with me." ”

"No."

Dian Wei walked out of the lobby.

Guo Jia said: "The minister is not worried that Liu Bei will defeat Guan Yu, with the strength of our army, once Taiyuan is gathered, Liu Bei will be defeated." It's just that the state is different from other states and counties, and the Taihang Mountains cover thousands of miles and reach all counties. Once Liu Bei felt that it was difficult for him to win, he would retreat into the mountains. We'll be able to guard against it. ”

"Indeed."

This is also what Xu Ding is most worried about.

The tens of thousands of troops left by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not too terrible.

Sooner or later they will be besieged to death.

Only Taihang Mountain is thousands of miles long, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At that time, Zhang Yan occupied there, and the imperial court was unsuccessful in conquering and suppressing for several years, and he repeatedly annexed, Hebei, and Youshu Prefectures, and was attacked.

Even Zhang Yan can turn the world upside down, you can imagine how good the terrain of Taihang Mountain is.

Once Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered there, the Tun army lurked.

Hebei will never have peace.

Xu Dingdao: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must not be allowed to enter Taihang Mountain." ”

"Your Majesty, I think... There is no urgency. ”

"What?"

Guo Jiadao: "Although our current troops are more than Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, if we want to ensure victory in the first battle, we have to prevent them from escaping into Taihang Mountain, which is overstretched." Moreover, we only have one chance to fight with Liu Bei, once Liu Bei is defeated and does not die, he will immediately enter the mountain, and it will be difficult to find him again. ”

"What do you suggest?"

Guo Jiadao: "The minister suggested that after going to Bingzhou, first garrison troops on the border of Jianxing and Xinle, and arrange ambushes on the periphery of Taiyuan and the Taihang Mountains near Taiyuan. When the decisive battle with Zhuge Liang is due, let them come to the battle, not only to prevent Liu Bei from escaping, but also to take advantage of the situation to block the exit of Taihang Mountain and prevent Liu Bei from entering the mountain. ”
