Chapter 409: Destroying Chu

In ancient feudal society, there were often generals who went out to fight, and when things didn't go their way, they would knock down the city and directly slaughter inside.

This will have a great impact on the reputation of that general, and many people will use this as a basis to constantly criticize you, and Cao Cao happens to be a person with a criminal record.

Liu Bei was very worried in his heart, when Cao Cao broke Xinye, he directly slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Xinye, so he held a mobilization meeting before leaving.

Liu Bei knew reason, moved with emotion, and told the people that after Cao Cao broke through Xinye, Cao Cao's brutal character would slaughter the city, and when the people heard Liu Bei's words, they were all panicked.

The vast majority of people just live their own lives every day, and they don't know what kind of princely disputes they have, and they don't know what kind of person this Cao Cao is, anyway, Liu Bei said this, and the vast majority of them believed it.

If you don't want to stay here and be slaughtered by Cao Cao, then there is only one way, to run away while Cao Cao has not come, so Liu Bei made another suggestion, the people of Xinye can follow him Liu Bei, thinking that there is an army next to protect it, it is still very good, so many residents have agreed.

In this way, Cao Cao launched a general attack on Xinye, and the city of Xinye, which did not last long because of geographical reasons, had already fallen completely.

Including when Cao Cao's horse golden knife walked into Xinye's county office, those civil and military officials in Xinye. tremblingly told Cao Cao that Liu Bei had run away, and even Liu Bei's cronies had followed Liu Bei away, and the city had no value.

When Cao Cao heard the news, there were some differences in his heart, Liu Bei may have been just an inconspicuous figure before, and he had even worked as an errand under his Cao Cao.

But I don't know when, Cao Cao also began to pay attention to this character inexplicably, which came from Guo Jia's reminder, Guo Jia was the first to find out that Liu Bei was wrong, and he said directly to Cao Cao.

In this troubled world, there are certainly many heroes in troubled times. But there are not many people who can really rely on their own strength to achieve the status of a generation of heroes, and he Liu Bei is one of them.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was also a little stunned in his heart, but then he reflected that although Guo Jia's words were very subtle, he had already heard what Guo Jia meant.

Those heroes in the troubled times, although there are many people who have the ability, such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but which of them did not rely on their own family power to start, and then relied on their own skills to get to this day step by step, but the other Liu Bei can confront Cao Cao with the power of civilians, which is enough to show that Liu Bei is not simple.

Immediately, Cao Cao had only one thought, that is, he must arrest Liu Bei back, since he ran away, what should he do? Just chase it.

Therefore, Cao Cao immediately ordered his general Cao Xiu, with five thousand iron horsemen, to quickly chase in the direction of Liu Bei's escape, and be sure to completely capture Liu Bei, and he personally led the army behind the palace, and then came.

Cao Xiu got Cao Cao's order and was not ambiguous, he directly took the soldiers and horses, and killed the past like the wind, Cao Xiu led it, but Cao Cao's personal guard army tiger and leopard cavalry, whether it was combat effectiveness or speed, was basically first-class, so Cao Xiu quickly caught up with Liu Bei's pace.

However, when Cao Xiu collided with Liu Bei's troops for the first time, he did not face the army commanded by Liu Bei, but the people of Xinye who were constantly splitting up behind.

These Xinye people, listening to what Liu Bei said so powerfully, Cao Cao was going to slaughter the city after he came in, so they were all happy voices, after all, if they could survive, they would naturally choose to live, so they could only follow Liu Bei and keep walking forward.

Although Liu Bei sent a part of his troops to guard the back to protect the safety of the people, it was only a small number of troops, and it couldn't stop Cao Cao's army at all.

Seeing that the people in front of him were in a mess, and the road ahead had been blocked, Cao Xiu gritted his teeth and shook his horsewhip fiercely, he only knew that the task given by Cao Cao was to pursue Liu Bei, this was a golden opportunity, and he missed that there was no store in this village, so Cao Xiu was also ruthless and directly ordered his cavalry to charge.

And those people looked at Cao Jun, and they really rushed over unscrupulously, and their hearts were even more panicked. The scene was in a state of chaos.

It took Cao Xiu a lot of effort to break through the crowd, and then continued to rush forward, but at this moment, he had already reached the vicinity of the longboard bridge.

There are about two or three thousand Liu Bei's soldiers here in the Changban Bridge, and when they saw Cao Xiu chasing after them, they also raised their swords and prepared to meet the Cao army, Cao Xiu did not hesitate, and directly ordered his cavalry to wipe out this small force again, and he also had to cross the Changban Bridge to capture Liu Bei alive.

After a more tragic fight, Cao Xiu finally killed Liu Bei's ambush here with a very powerful attitude, but Cao Cao also caught up at this moment.

After all, Cao Cao has now begun to pay attention to this Liu Bei, and with Cao Cao's intuition, he faintly feels that this Liu Bei will definitely become a big trouble for him in the future. It is necessary for him to get rid of it as soon as possible, so Cao Cao also attaches great importance to this, and wants to personally kill Liu Bei to get rid of the trouble in his heart.

Seeing Cao Cao here, Cao Xiu finally nodded, stepped forward and hugged his fists, the commander here is no longer him, but Cao Cao, Cao Cao with a large army, about to step across the longboard bridge, but saw a general with a leopard head and eyes, already guarding the other end of the bridge, this person is holding an eight-foot spear, glaring at Cao Jun.

"I'm Yan Zhang Yide, who of you dares to fight me to the death!"

Zhang Fei's shout was like a thunderbolt descending from the world, and directly put the Cao Jun present under a cleverness, not because Cao Jun's courage was too small, but because there were many Cao Jun, who had never heard it since he was a child, who could roar such a loud voice, this may also be a talent of others Zhang Fei.

Cao Cao and the others couldn't help but stop, and at the same time, everyone looked at each other.

In fact, in this era, the military generals are still a relatively common way, and there are often such things as fighting generals on the battlefield, fighting generals This thing is not big, and it is not small to say that once one party proposes to fight generals, then the attitude of the other party will affect the morale of the army to a large extent.

Because whether you dare to fight or not, it means that you are strong or not, even if you dare to fight, but if you are defeated and killed, it will give people the impression that the people on your side are not as good as the people on the other side, but they have not started to fight, and their morale has been lost a lot.

So with this kind of concept, Cao Cao and the others couldn't help but stop, Cao Cao didn't even react to what was going on, Zhang Fei let out a thunderbolt again, who dared to fight with me for three hundred rounds.

This time there was a complete accident, Cao Cao didn't react, but one of the generals next to him, who was also a member of Cao Cao's clan, was directly frightened by Zhang Fei's roar and foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground unconscious.

Cao Cao's heart is like this, as for the generals behind him, one by one is even more frightened at this moment, this Zhang Fei looks like a wild man from afar, who dares to fight with this kind of person, isn't that looking for death?

The morale of Cao Cao's army began to decline rapidly, looking at the generals around him one by one, Cao Cao could not go into battle in person, at this moment Cao Cao couldn't help but think of one thing, that is, Guan Yu was still working under Cao Cao's account, Cao Cao admired Guan Yu's loyalty and courage very much, but once when he talked to Guan Yu, Guan Yu was quite modest and told Cao Cao that he also had a third brother, and martial arts were not under him.

Guan Yu can easily behead Yan Liang and Wen Chou, doesn't it mean that this Zhang Fei also has the same ability, thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart actually rose with a touch of fear, he subconsciously thought that among the tens of thousands of troops behind him, there seemed to be no one who could fight Zhang Fei.

When Cao Cao saw this scene, he was a little angry in his heart, how could he be so embarrassed, but just when he wanted to scold two sentences and boost his morale, he suddenly found that there was smoke and dust billowing behind Zhang Fei, and there seemed to be an ambush behind him, this time Cao Cao's heart was completely cute, this Zhang Fei was a general, if two cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind him, then it would inevitably lead to heavy losses for him, Cao Cao had some hesitation in his heart.

However, standing here all the time was not a solution, and in the end Cao Cao still ordered to retreat, and then discuss it in the long run when the large army arrived.

When Guo Jia and Xun Yu heard what happened, Xun Yu looked sad, and Guo Jia shook his head helplessly.

Guo Jia is a person who knows Cao Cao better, he knows that Cao Cao is not a hero, but then again, Cao Cao also has a small problem, that is, he will make some low-level mistakes from time to time, such as killing people in a dream.

What's more, people are not sages, who can do nothing, everyone's brains can't turn around, Cao Cao may also be shocked by Zhang Fei's momentum, and made a wrong judgment for a while.

In the end, Guo Jia and Xun Yu explained to Cao Cao that a Zhang Fei has nothing to be afraid of, no matter how powerful he is, can he beat the previous Lu Bu? Taking a step back, even if Zhang Fei is really brave and invincible in the world, he doesn't care about Lu Bu, but Cao Cao will not retreat, just call a row of archers, stand on the opposite side of the bridge and keep firing arrows, I don't believe that this Zhang Fei can't shoot to death.

Once Zhang Fei revealed his flaws, Cao Cao could drive straight in, and when he heard this, Cao Cao also suddenly patted his head and summarized his mistakes.

Now Cao Cao can only try his best to redeem his mistakes, so he took his soldiers and horses to Changsaka Bridge again, but this is just as Guo Jiaxunyu expected.

Zhang Fei saw that his plan succeeded, so he directly turned around and demolished the bridge, and Cao Cao saw that the whole person's nose was almost crooked.

Cao Cao ordered people to cross the river by bridge, and then wanted to chase forward, but it seemed to be too late at this moment, because in front of him was a surging river, and there was no boat that could not be crossed at all.

What's more, at this moment, Liu Qi in Jiangxia has already brought the remaining soldiers and horses in his hands to meet Liu Bei, and Liu Bei successfully arrived in Jiangxia.

The war to destroy the state of Chu can come to an end, anyway, Liu Biao is already dead, although there is also an eldest son Liu Qi, who is fighting with Liu Bei outside, but this is not important, because Cao Cao has already sent a large army to besiege Xiangyang.

Looking at the murderous army of the Wei State, many officials of the Chu State were trembling with fear, they had not experienced a war for a long time, and in the face of such a lineup, they could only kneel and beg for mercy, including not only ordinary family members, but even Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong, who didn't know what to do for a while.

What are you kidding, Liu Biao can barely suppress the situation when he is alive, but now Liu Cong is just a doll in his teens, he has never been on the battlefield, he has never seen blood, what courage does he have to use tens of thousands of soldiers in his Xiangyang City to fight Cao Cao.

Although Mrs. Cai is on the side to assist, but then again, Mrs. Cai is also a woman, and she is usually quite good at playing intrigues, but in the face of these armies, Mrs. Cai does not dare to come forward.

So Mrs. Cai convened many of her subordinates to discuss what to do next, and someone said to Mrs. Cai, that is, while there is still a little strength in her hands, she should directly negotiate peace with Cao Cao.

It sounds good to talk about peace, but in fact, it is also surrender. Mrs. Cai thought that the matter had come to this point, so she could only give up, and Mrs. Cai's thoughts were also very simple, he now had at least tens of thousands of troops in his hands, presumably if he went to Cao Cao at this moment, Cao Cao would gladly accept it.

Although he can no longer be a royal noble, but then again, under Cao Cao, Cao Cao will give his son a duke, such as an Anle Duke, from now on, he and his son can rely on the court's wealth, do nothing, and spend the second half of their lives in peace, which is not a kind of luck.

Therefore, when Cao Cao came to Xiangyang, Mrs. Cai immediately opened the city and surrendered, and Cao Cao also laughed and walked into Xiangyang City, and the Chu State perished.

It is said that Liu Bei, who fled to Jiangxia, when he heard the news of the destruction of the Chu State, he cried again, Liu Bei's cry seemed to touch many people, and Liu Qi was infected by this atmosphere, and cried even more sadly, after all, it was his Chu State.
