Chapter 112: The Past Is Like a Dream, Things Are Wrong

The past is like a dream, so it is now, but things have long been different......

Liu Xuewu is now stepping into the former capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City. The once prosperous city of Luoyang www.biquge.info has experienced many major wars and displaced people. The glazed tiles of the palace are still there, but our emperor has long since passed away. The centuries-old Han Dynasty is now close to collapse, and as a descendant of Gaozu, now stepping back into this place, there are many inexplicable feelings of sadness and sadness. Standing on top of this court hall, I still remember that I was high-spirited and frivolous back then. In the year of the uncrowned marquis, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was personally sealed, and he was jealous of the world's scholars.

The past is like smoke, the memories are beautiful, and there is a kind of nostalgia for the past......

Jin Ge Iron Horse, he was ordered to go north to Yanmen alone, resisted the Huns to resist Xianbei, and dyed the blood of the people, so that the world was mighty.

......

Liu Xuewu regained his strength after learning that Zhao Yun was not dead and the name of Lianyun Eighteen Villages. 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers went south to Xuzhou, and within a month they attacked the city and invaded the wall, and Lianyun Zhai should be forced to retreat by the seven sons of Xiahou. The anger of revenge was burning, and the eldest son Liu Yang took the lead, beheading the eldest and sixth of Xiahou's seven sons, cutting off Xiahouba's arm, chasing him and fleeing. In retaliatory combat, Liu Xuewu did not stop killing, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he burned Xuzhou City. More than 700 tons of wood were consumed by billowing smoke rising into the sky, most of the trees in the mountains and forests of Xuzhou were cut down in large quantities, and thousands of soldiers set fire to the city outside Xuzhou. There were countless people who were poisoned by fumigation in the city, and the fire lasted for three days and three nights. The guards Xiahou Lao, the third, the fifth, and the seventh died in battle, leaving only Xiahou's second disabled one-armed Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei, who was in charge of logistics, saw that the general situation had gone to Xiahou The two brothers secretly fled alone with a few cronies through the secret passage in Xuzhou City, abandoning the entire Xuzhou City.

Liu Xuewu and Zhao Yun conquered the entire Xuzhou in half a year, and then placed 100,000 troops in Xuzhou, led by Zhao Yun and Zhang He, respectively, under the command of 50,000 horses each, as well as a series of civil and military officials. Then he took his wife and children back to Bingzhou, and at the same time, Duan Fei had already prepared 50,000 horses to wait in Bingzhou, and with the arrival of Liu Xuewu, he gave an order to set off to replace Liu Zhang in Yizhou, who was transferred back by Liu Yan. And on the side of Si Li, Zhuge Liang has indeed prepared everything a long time ago, whether it is the thorough understanding of the Luoyang generation or the deployment of troops, he is extremely well prepared. Compared with Zhuge Jin, who was fooled by Liu Xuewu early on to guard Youzhou with Zhang Liao, Zhuge Liang has been following Liu Zhang, fighting in the south and in the north, Dingliangzhou, and the war division is subordinate to make suggestions.

But eating other people's hands is soft, and taking other people's hands is short. Zhuge Liang was tied to Liu Xuewu's warship early in the morning, and compared to Liu Zhang, Zhuge Liang was more like a qualified relative than a loyal subordinate, and only Liu Xuewu was the best master in Zhuge Liang's mind. For this legendary cousin, Zhuge Liang is no longer a simple worship, but a legitimate idea based on Liu Xuewu.

And the arrival of Liu Xuewu, as the core figure of the Liu Group, easily won the support of the soldiers, and Cao Pi left Chang'an without any preparation, and approached Luoyang.

Luoyang Shou General is not an ordinary person, Cao Chun's son Cao Yan, because he followed Cao Pi and helped him to ascend to the throne and was named the Marquis of Pingle. Now the leading army Zhonglang will guard Luoyang and Chang'an Liu Zhang in pairs. Although Cao Yan has some skills in governing the army, he is extremely arrogant and looks down on ordinary people. makes his subordinates quite detached from him, but with the help of his father's shelter, there are still some veterans of the tiger and leopard riders in the past. In addition, Luoyang City is strong and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhuge Liang released water, so that no one and Liu Zhang can help anyone.

Now that Zhuge Liang has finally waited for Liu Xuewu to arrive, he has no previous behavior of releasing water, but is trying his best to make suggestions. secretly contacted the previous lurking people, took advantage of the lax defense in Luoyang City at night, and secretly opened the west gate with the beacon fire as the number. It wasn't until Liu Xuewu's army entered Luoyang City and surrounded the City Lord's Mansion that Cao Yan, who was still sleeping lazily with his concubine in his arms, was awakened in the noise. In a hurry, he didn't have time to put on his clothes in a hurry and was taken down by Liu Xuewu's soldiers on the spot, and because Liu Xuewu blocked the news along the road, the news of the fall of Luoyang did not come out. It wasn't until a few days later that Cao Pi felt that something was wrong, and Cao Yan didn't send anyone to contact him. After investigating, I found that the banner on the upper floor of Luoyang City had turned into a blood-red Liu character.

This news has been confirmed, which has greatly shaken the entire Cao Group. Cao Chun, who was originally at home for a long time, learned that his son did not know whether he was alive or dead, and Luoyang City was also directly lost, where could he sit still. And now Cao Pi lost Xuzhou not long ago, and now there is no Luoyang, almost the entire division has been lost except for a few counties around the Tiger Prison Pass, and now the place occupied by Cao Pi is only in Gunzhou. Originally, Cao Cao fought desperately to fight for the land of three continents, and the good situation of the tiger in the Central Plains is also like a great river to the east, and it will never return.

I still remember the vigor and pride when he seized power, and now Cao Pi's whole person seems to be more than ten years old in an instant with the news of these defeats.

When he walked out of the room to discuss with everyone, the white hair and silver threads frightened everyone.

Seeing Cao Pi like this, some old ministers of the Cao family knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Have mercy on me Cao's family is full of heroes, in this troubled world to create this great foundation, but now it is lost in the hands of Pi, I am unwilling, I don't want to, I want to personally recruit Liu Xuewu, and ask the public to help me." Cao Pi cried bitterly to the generals present with a full head of white hair.

This situation is touching and emotional. Dozens of retired veterans decided to put on their armor again, for the sake of the lord, for the sake of the Cao family, and even more for the grace of Cao Cao's acquaintance in the past. When Cao Pi was still grieving, hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's former old troops were gathering in a big way, led by Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were reorganized.

It is also because this time it is a matter of life and death for the Cao Group, and the generals of all departments have chosen to fight with all their might.

And Yangzhou Liu Qi also found that the current situation is grim, and it is no longer a simple division of all parties. Once Liu Xuewu in the north defeated Cao Pi and eliminated the Yuan clan, then the next step was to start facing them, the princes of the south. Although Liu Xuewu is his brother-in-law, he will not be naïve to think that Liu Xuewu will let go of his territory. Yangzhou has been synonymous with prosperity since ancient times, except for Kyoto in the past, the whole world is rich and prosperous even if the two states of Xu and Yang. And the location of Yangzhou is good to die stuck in the traffic arteries on the north and south sides, in any case, if Liu Xuewu wants to unify the world, then the trip to Yangzhou is absolutely inevitable. Now there are only two ways in front of Liu Qi, either fight or surrender. Fight, anyway, Liu Qi himself is not sure, if it weren't for his own military Fengzhi. It is estimated that he will not be able to hold on for a long time, if you want to say surrender, this large piece of territory that he has finally won is also a state land, so can he give it away like this, this is also where Liu Qi is unwilling.
