The fiftieth episode took down Pi Zhangzhao and hanged himself
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said to Wei Wentong: "Let Lu Xun lead a thousand people to guard the prime minister, and we will set off overnight."
The most important thing in blitzkrieg is a quick word, Zhang Yi knows that he can't let the enemy react, once the enemy reacts, his gain will be much less. Zhang Yi's real purpose this time is not to be a prime minister, but to be a lower minister. There are too many things in Xiapi, wealth, books, population, and a person that Zhang Yi is very concerned about - Zhang Zhao!
As the capital of Xiapi, Xiapi is the seat of generations of Xiapi kings. King Xiapi has gone through four generations, and it has been 133 years now. This Xiapi King was succeeded to the throne in the second year of Zhongping, named Liu Yi. However, the Xiapi Kingdom has long existed in name only, and Liu Yi is just a puppet king. But his family's wealth is very rich, and the accumulation of more than 100 years is not a joke. Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu, who occupied Xiapi before, and Zhang Zhao now, did not dare to touch the fiefdom of the Xiapi royal family at will, and it can be said that this throne at least protected them from the harassment of the princes.
The wealth of the Xiapi royal family is very attractive to Zhang Yi, and the wealth of the Marquis of Hailun is already worth Liu Xun's big move, how can the wealth of the Xiapi King not attract Zhang Yi's attention?
Moreover, Xiapi is an important town in Xuzhou, and Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar before, used to avoid trouble here, although he only stayed in Xiapi for a period of time, but maybe he left some of his books in Xiapi.
You must know that Zheng Xuan is the most famous scholar in the world, and many people want to ask for his books. If Zhang Yi gets his books, then he can print them out so that more people can learn Zheng Xuan's thoughts. You must know that those who have read Zheng Xuanshu are all leaders of this era. Zhang Yi can be said to be famous, including Sun Qian, Cui Yan, Guoyuan and others.
And population, of course, is also an element that Zhang Yi pays great attention to. Although Xuzhou has experienced several wars, it is still populated here, which is enough for Zhang Yi to loot.
As for Zhang Zhao, he seems to have become Zhang Yi's obsession. Since Zhang Yi knew that Zhang Zhao had escaped, he had been obsessed with him, and he wanted to kill him as soon as possible. You must know that the entire Jiangdong surrendered, and Zhang Zhao turned to Cao Cao, which made him very faceless, and made him spend more time appeasing those Jiangdong families. If Zhang Zhao is here, it will definitely not take him too long.
Zhang Yi went to Xiapi overnight, repeated the old trick, and asked Wei Wentong to climb the city wall in the middle of the night and open the city gate from the inside.
Everything was still going well, and Zhang Yi once again sat on the tower of Xiapi City. He can be said to have revisited it regularly, because this is the place where Lu Bu surrendered, and this is the legendary White Gate Tower.
Zhang Yi looked at the surrounding scenery, and there was not much difference from when he came to Xiapi. The walls of Xiapi are very high, but if you don't defend them carefully, even the strongest city will be breached. The defenders of Xiapi did not expect that someone could climb directly to the top of the city. Although hook locks generally appear in martial arts movies, hook locks shot with crossbow arrows have always been military weapons, but few people know how to make them!
Zhang Yi stood comfortably by the female wall and looked at the city. He came to Xiapi twice, both as a victor, it seems that this should be his blessed land!
At this time, someone came over quickly and said softly: "Lord, we have found Zhang Zhao."
Zhang Yi asked, "Where is it?"
With a wave of his hand, four soldiers walked over with a person, and Zhang Yi walked over to see that it was a hanged man.
"Congratulations to the host's forces for killing the historical celebrity Zhang Zhao and summoning the historical celebrity Li Shanchang."
"Li Shanchang, Force: 76, War Strategy: 83, Strategy: 89, Internal Affairs: 97, Education: 82, Diplomacy: 92. Characteristic: Keding. ”
"Li Shanchang is now a student of Shouchun Academy of Liberal Arts."
Li Shanchang's attributes are good, but Zhang Yi has no intention of being happy at all. He slammed his hateful fist on the city wall and asked angrily, "Was he dead when you found him?"
Qu Chang was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "The lord atons for his sins, when I find him, he will be dead."
Zhang Yi smashed another punch on the wall, "Damn! How did he know I was coming? ”
After a while, Zhang Yi held back his anger and ordered loudly: "Pack up all the people, all the treasures, and all the books in Xiapi City, and then collect the boats, and we will go down Surabaya and return to Huainan!"
"No!"
Zhang Yi did not kill Zhang Zhao with his own hands, so he could only strive to maximize his interests. He wants to take everything he can take away, and then leave Cao Cao in a barren land, what should Cao Cao do after suffering this blow?
Surabaya leads directly to Hongze Lake, and as long as there are enough boats, you can go down the river and return to Huainan in less than two days. Zhang Yi let the navy go against Surabaya again, now is not the flood season, Surabaya is not wide, river boats, fighting ships can't pass, Meng Chong can always come.
With a large number of ships, it still took Zhang Yi nearly half a month to empty Xiapi.
Zhang Yi emptied not only Xiapi, but also Xiaxiang, Hongxian, Xuxian, Suiling, Xiaqiu, Quyang, and Haixi. Suiling was also attacked by Zhang Yi slightly, and Xiaqiu was attacked by Zhou Tai. Quyang was defeated by Li Jing's monk and apprentice.
In this battle, most of Xiapi was basically emptied, and only Wei County was left in Guangling. Half of Xuzhou has been taken to Huainan by Zhang Yi, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to restore Xuzhou in a few years. If you want to restore the population, you can't do it in twenty or thirty years.
After Zhang Yi transported everything he had plundered back to Huainan, he did not stop attacking, but gathered tens of thousands of troops to attack Weixian. He wanted to completely break through this place and complete the sweep before Cao Cao arrived.
However, under the construction of Chen Deng, the county is no longer what it used to be, and it is impossible to break through it in a short time. Zhang Yi is not in a hurry, he can't attack if he can't attack it, as long as he can withdraw his troops before Cao Cao's army arrives.
Cao Cao also received a military report in Xuchang, and saw that the military newspaper read: Zhang Yi plundered Pi, Keshu County, killed Zhang Zhao, the prime minister, and ordered Qin Song. Cao Cao directly overturned several cases, "Zhang Yi'er! I am inseparable from you! ”
