Cao Cao's two reinforcements were completely annihilated, which ended Cao Cao's rule in Yanzhou.

The isolated and helpless Lejin was trapped in Juyang, and in the face of Jiang Sheng's three-way army in turn and the rare siege machinery in the world, he had to surrender the city.

Juyang fell, Jiyin County completely lost the barrier, except for the forbidden Fourth Army re-recruited and reorganized, the rest of the troops successively cleared the remnants of the Cao Army in Jiyin County.

Cao Cao was helpless, regretted that he was too impatient, personally released Mao Jue, and apologized in public, the staff discussed all night, and worked out a plan, Cao Cao weighed again and again, and decided to adopt everyone's opinions, all the civil and military officials and the army brought enough food, grass and money, and took the initiative to withdraw from Chen Liu, and retreated to Liang and Xiaopei, which Cao Hong had mastered in advance.

Zhang Liao learned that Cao Cao's forces had withdrawn from Chenliu, so he divided his troops into ten routes to attack Chenliu counties, and so far, the entire Yanzhou was included under Jiang Sheng's rule.

In Yuzhou, Zang Ba thought that the sneak attack on Qian County would have some results, but he didn't expect Dian Wei to respond in time, which became a big problem for Zang Ba.

Cao Hong took Xiaopei, which was equivalent to cutting off Zang Ba's life, and he had no confidence to fight, so Zang Ba had to retreat east and retreat to Xuzhou.

The Dian Wei army successfully entered the county to replenish and recuperate.

Liang did not have any strategic depth, Jiang Sheng led the army commander to drive straight in, Dian Wei also sent a department to recover Liang State, Cao Cao's forces did not stay, and they settled down after arriving in Xiaopei, Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to stay in Xiaopei.

The rest of the soldiers and horses continued to the east, because the situation in Xuzhou was a great opportunity for Cao Cao!

Zhang Fei lightly advanced the enemy, and was defeated by Ji Ling three times in a row, and the battle in Jiujiang was not smooth.

After Guan Yu arrived, the two armies attacked Ji Ling, and Ji Ling was defeated and retreated.

Yuan Shu sent Zhenrong to lead the army to reinforce Ji Ling, and Liu Bei personally led the main force to fight, but he was dragged back, unable to fight, unable to retreat, and stuck in Jiujiang.

After Zang Ba withdrew to Xiapi, he didn't dare to move lightly, and he wanted to keep Liu Bei's base camp with Liao Hua.

Cao Cao's Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun each led an army to take advantage of Liu Bei's lack of time to look north to take the East China Sea and Pengcheng in Xuzhou in one fell swoop, thus expanding Cao Cao's sphere of influence.

Jiang Sheng wanted to destroy Cao Cao, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to dare to break his wrist and take the initiative to abandon Yanzhou, and take advantage of the void to seize Xuzhou.

After a month's rest, Cao Cao reorganized his troops, gathered an army of 80,000, and suddenly launched an attack on Xiapi.

Zang Ba and Liao Hua hurriedly organized defenses, and the two sides launched a fierce battle outside Xiapi City.

The two sides fought for many days, and Hao Meng, who was dormant in Guangling, waved his army to the north and rushed to help Xiapi, but it was indeed far away that could not quench his thirst.

Zang Ba and Liao Hua suffered heavy losses and retreated into Xiapi City, Cao Cao personally led a large army to besiege the city, and then at the suggestion of Lu Qian, he resorted to a desperate plan to dig up the river embankment and let the raging river flow rapidly to Xia Picheng.

The people of the city suffered greatly, thousands of houses collapsed, and the entire city of Xiapi fell into a sea of water.

In this case, Zang Ba and Liao Hua had nothing to do, so they had to lead the remnants of the defeated army to withdraw from Xiapi, turn to the south, and were intercepted by Xu Chu on the way, after fighting for a while, Zang Ba and Liao Hua were completely lost, so they merged into an army, continued to go south, and settled in Xiaqiutun.

Hao Meng learned that Xiapi had been lost, so he stopped in Ling County. Who knew that Cao Bao in Ling County was rebelled by Liu Ye, a subordinate of Cao Cao, and assassinated Hao Meng at night, and Ling County was included in Cao Cao's forces.

Jiang Sheng's army quickly recovered Xiaopei and completely controlled Yuzhou and Yanzhou, Jiang Sheng believed in Xu Shu's ability, and although Xu Shu was not long under Jiang Sheng's command, he was still appointed by Jiang Sheng as the pastor of Yanzhou.

After the above table, Emperor Xian was greatly surprised, in less than half a year, Jiang Sheng had such a great achievement, he couldn't help but be worried, lest Jiang Sheng abolish him as an emperor, so he found an excuse to go to Yecheng to see his sister Liu Qian, Princess Wannian, that is, Jiang Sheng's Jin princess.

Liu Qian also saw Liu Xie's worries, so she said to Liu Xie: "The emperor is too worried, the king of Jin has been working for the Han family since he began to ask for the yellow scarf, and he has never had two hearts. Now that he is fighting in the east and west, and has pacified Yanzhou for the Han Dynasty, if there is really any rebellion, it will be reversed a long time ago, and the foolish sister knows who he is, so you can rest assured. ”

Liu Xie was very discouraged, "I, the emperor, is just in vain, I can't change anything, there are no soldiers and no generals, and the civil and military officials in the palace are all decorations, alas, I simply don't want to be this emperor!" ”

"The emperor must not talk nonsense! How can I, the Liu family, say don't want it? No matter how great the credit of King Jin is, it is also the emperor's love and people, the emperor speaks like this, but he traps my husband in injustice! ”

Liu Xiedao: "I'm just complaining in front of my sister. Okay, as long as Jiang Sheng doesn't usurp and keeps my throne, everything else can be decided by him! ”

Liu Qian didn't dare to say anything, no matter how good the relationship between her and Liu Xie was, she couldn't cross the boundary between monarchs and ministers, and there were some things that couldn't be said.

Liu Xie also asked Xun Yu about the reconstruction of Luoyang during his stay in Yecheng, although Xun Yu is the pastor of Jizhou, but it is equivalent to the role of the prime minister, is the leader of Jiang Sheng's subordinates, and he still has a relatively good grasp of the national situation, so he made a report to Emperor Xian, and according to the progress of the construction period, the capital can be moved in about a year.

Liu Xie stayed in Yecheng for three days, then went home, and told Liu Qian by the way that the queen was pregnant with a princess and would give birth in a few days.

This is also a big deal, Liu Qian sent Qin Juan to send someone to report to Jiang Sheng, and brought the last words of Emperor Xian to Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng was on the front line of Xiao Pei, and when he received the news, he was studying the strategy of completely destroying Cao Cao.

The fact that the emperor wants to have a princess has little impact on Jiang Sheng, in this era, without a prince, the world is destined to be unstable, but it is the words of the emperor that make Jiang Sheng quite troubled.

Emperor Xian has grown up, and it is normal for him to desire imperial power, and it is normal for him to panic about Jiang Sheng's great achievements.

Jiang Sheng can understand the mood of the emperor, without soldiers and generals, he can't afford to make any waves.

Although Jiang Sheng did not have the intention of usurping the Han Dynasty, he was indeed unwilling to let him hand over this inheritance to Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian could not control the Han world at all, and handing it over to him would only plunge the world into more serious chaos.

Under the trade-off, Jiang Sheng still chose to be a powerful minister, at least not in vain.

After a year of continuous warfare, Jiang Sheng's family resources that have been stored for many years are almost exhausted, Yuzhou and Yanzhou have just been brought under control, and he urgently needs to repair the wounds of the war, and the post-war reconstruction work is even more difficult.

Psychologically speaking, Jiang Sheng really wanted to suspend the campaign, but Cao Cao's comeback in Xuzhou still made Jiang Sheng sleep badly.

Zhang Ning, who was far away in Youzhou, was ordered to go south and stationed near Xiaopei, and Zhang Ning took her command team into the city to see Jiang Sheng.

The Navy's Tai Shi Ci also led the fleet south, stopping at the eastern coast of Donghae County.

It looks like there's going to be a big war!
