Three Kingdoms

However, it was said that Xiahou had destroyed Jing Han and invited Cao Cao, the lord of Qin, to enter Xiangyang City. A sergeant found the corpses of Liu Bei and Wei Yan at the foot of Jing Mountain and came to receive the merit. When Cao Cao saw Liu Bei, he sighed: "Ask for Dong from the alliance with Liu Xuande, Huang Tianhua, Sun Wentai, and Yuan Benchu." Wentai, the original early death, and the only people who fight for the world with me are Xuande and Tianhua. Now Xuande is dead, only Huang Tianhua can be eliminated one day. Shi Yanteng came from outside and reported: "Zhuge Liang led the army to fight against Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, in Nanjun. Later, because Zhang Yun, the leader of the naval army, defected to Wu, Nanjun was taken by Eastern Wu. Huang Zhong and Wen Ping escorted Zhuge Liang to flee west and disappeared. Lord Qin said: "Who is Zhou Yu, dare to steal the results of the war." "It is to order Xiahoudun to attack Nanjun with victorious troops.

However, he said that Qi was the master of reading the music recital, and suddenly asked Huang Tao: "Who is the handsome Qin Zheng Jing Han?" Huang Tao said: "General Xiahoudun! Lord Qi said: "I expect that this must be Cao Cao's personal expedition." If Xiahoudun marches south, he will inevitably return to the army at this time. Huang Tao praised: "Your Majesty is wise! Lord Qi said: "After my country's conquest of the East, the national strength was empty. Cao Cao repeatedly attacked, and Xing Lejin, Wang Yu and others fought hard against the enemy. Today, Cao Cao is old and unknown. It is the time for my vengeance. I can pass on the order, drill people everywhere, and march westward in the future. Cheng Yujin said: "There are many things in the country that cannot be decided, and your Majesty needs to take care of them." In this expedition to the west, one of the elected generals will be in charge of the sword seal. Lord Qi said: "This time in the northern expedition to Wei, the general Li Sigong is great, the lord of the king of Tegalu, fake Jieyue, and conquer for me." ”

said that Li Si received the gift of the king, and ordered the one-horned ghost king Qi Hailing as the pioneer and Duanmulang as the deputy pioneer; deputy generals Huang Fuxin and Yuan Qiong; The four generals of Qingzhou listened to the army; Xun Chen joined the army; Sun Xing and Duanmu Du were the governors of grain and grass. Another 100,000 elite soldiers from Qing, Xu and Hebei were ordered to worship Mount Tai in the autumn of the 14th year of Tai'an, and then set out to fight. He also galloped to Huaizhou, and ordered Zhao Dashun to lead the headquarters of the army to take the county first. Zhao Dashun ordered 50,000 troops to be raised, leading Huang Zhu, Huang Jie, Lu Yi, Yuan Feng, Xu Miao, Lei Bo and others to attack the county. There is a general under Wen Hui, the Taishou of Qiaojun, surnamed Liu Minghu. Liu Hu's real name is Liu Quan, and when he was eighteen years old, he killed a tiger with his bare hands, and later changed his name to Liu Hu. On the same day, Wen Hui heard that Zhao Dashun was coming, and discussed with Liu Hu: "The imperial court has not returned to Jingzhou in the imperial court, and Zhao Dashun of Qi has attacked again, and I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the enemy." Liu Hu said: "Don't worry about it, please give the last general a thousand soldiers, and naturally kill Zhao Dashun to break the enemy." Wen Hui agreed. Liu Hu led a thousand soldiers to meet Dashun. Dashun ordered Lu Yi to go out. Liu Hu patted the horse to greet him. After more than ten rounds of fighting, Lu Yi retreated. Liu Hu didn't know what to do, chased after him, was swept by Lu Yi's shot, knocked off his horse, and captured him alive. Da Shun drove the troops to kill and captured most of the 1,000 sergeants. He also asked to release Li Hu, who was captured alive. Liu Hu rushed back to the city with his head in his arms, disheartened; Thinking to himself: "With my strength, there is no opponent in Qian County, but I was unexpectedly defeated by the nameless Lu Yi." If the troops are fought again, they will still be captured. Then he thought about it, but he picked up the warmth with his words. was scolded by Wen Hui. Liu Hu held a grudge, entered the mansion late at night to kill Wen Hui, and dedicated the city. Dashun came to Qian County and ordered Lu Yi to report the news. King Lu knew that the southeast grain road had been opened, so he drove his troops into a big advance and defeated Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Rong in succession. The three counties of Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Runan were taken. Yan and Henan were all occupied by the king of Lu. Xiahou Yuan retreated to Yecheng and ordered Zhang Rong to go to Jingzhou to meet the lord of Qin. The city was destroyed by a burst of fire and thunder by Lu Ying. Qi Hailing and the others went into the city and trapped Xiahou Yuan in the heart. King Lu came out to see him, and Xiahou Yuan said: "If this king kills you today, I am afraid that it will hurt the relationship between Brother Ling and my lord." Let you go back to see Cao Cao and tell him to come to the decisive battle as soon as possible. "Tell the sergeant to let him go. Xiahou Yuan returned the salute to King Lu, and then led the remnants of the army to retreat. Duanmulang asked: "Xiahou Yuan is Cao Cao's general, except for one of his arms." Why did King Lu let it go? Li Si said: "Today's release of Xiahou Yuan is to take into account Xiahou Yuan's reasons." Although he was allowed to return, Xiahoudun would not be able to kill the enemy as hard as he could. Duanmulang suddenly realized.

said that Zhang Rong went to Jingzhou to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw Zhang Rong coming in a panic, so he asked what was the matter. Zhang Rong said: "Huang Tianhua established Li Si as the king of Lu, and made his army take Runan, Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places. Today, Yan and Henan are all in Qi, and only Yecheng is defended by General Xiahou Yuan. Cao Cao exclaimed: "The grain road of Qi is not passable, how dare you use soldiers?" Zhang Rong said: "Wen Hui, the Taishou of Qiaojun, was killed by the general Liu Hu and sacrificed the city. There is Huaizhou Zhao Dashun guarding. When Cao Cao heard this, he was speechless for a long time. Xun Yu said: "Yecheng can't be defended for a long time, Your Majesty should first increase troops to help General Xiahou." Then design the retreat of Li Si. Cao Cao sent a rumor that Xiahoudun led the troops. Before Xiahou came out, he suddenly saw soldiers and horses coming from outside. Regarded as it, it was Xiahou Yuan's defeated army. Xiahou Yuan reported: "Li Si used demonic magic to blow up the city, so Yecheng was lost. Cao Cao was shocked and said: "It's not good, Nanyang is in danger!" If Nanyang is lost, I will wait for it to return? "Urgently ordered all departments to withdraw and defend Nanyang. Since he and Xiahoudun and others went to Nanyang first, Xiahoujie, Xiahouen, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao and others followed, and Dian Jie and Cao Chun followed. was discovered by Zhou Yu again, and ordered Gan Ning and Su Fei to chase and kill for a while, killing most of the rear army.

However, it was said that Cao Cao went to Nanyang, and on the one hand, he ordered Kou Feng to lead Jingzhou to surrender troops to help the war, and on the other hand, he camped in Shuishui to refuse to join the troops. Li Si crossed the water, and the two armies set up positions. Under the umbrella of Qingluo, Cao Cao rode out in a car, pointed at Li Si and said: "Qi and Qin have always been peaceful, why did King Lu bully each other?" Li Si came out of the horse and said: "What do you mean Anping? Take my Dongjun first, and then order Xu Yu to destroy my Taishan roots, this is peaceful? Today, by my lord's order, I swear to destroy Cao Qin! Cao Cao said angrily: "The Yellow Turban pawn despises me!" Looking around behind him, he shouted, "Which general is willing to capture this pawn for me." The pioneer general Dian Jie jumped out with an axe. Behind King Lu, Qi Hailing strode with a ghost-headed sword. The two generals are both powerful generals, one slashes with an axe, and the other swings with a broadsword. actually slashed more than 20 knives in one go, but after all, Dian Jie's body was not as good as that monster, and he lost his strength. Qi Hailing saw that Dian Jie was defeated and chased after him. Seeing that Qi Hailing was victorious, King Lu drove his troops to kill, won a great victory, and returned to the camp. Xun Chen, the military advisor, came to see King Lu and said: "Cao Cao is good at tricks, and he must be prevented from taking advantage of the darkness to rob the camp." King Lu said: "This is extremely true. "Summoning Zhang Tai and Xing Lie to lead 1,000 soldiers each, they kept patrolling the camp at night. It was night, and sure enough, the Qin soldiers came to rob the camp. Fortunately, Zhang Tai, Xing Lie and others patrolled the camp and killed the enemy early. There was a stalemate for several days, and they couldn't get down with each other. In the Qin army, Dian Wei and others came from Luoyang to help in the war. Xun Chen said: "Crossing the water and camping is a taboo for soldiers. Now Nanyang can't break through quickly, so it's better to retreat to the east bank and camp first. Cao Cao saw that our army had not gone, and he would not dare to leave Nanyang. Xiliang Zhang Xiu saw that Qin had no owner, and he was bound to attack. Lord Lu then went to the east bank and stationed there.

However, it was said that the protector of the Three Puritans, Zuo Ci, was ordered to travel all over the world. On that day, when I was on the road to Nanyang, I suddenly saw a purple gas coming to attack Wancheng, which was very strange. Zuo Ci asked for a hexagram, and he knew that it was Cao Cao's reason. sighed: "Poor generation of heroes, they are going to die at the hands of poor people." If the will of heaven is so, how can it be disobeyed? It's just helping you. Let the poor Dao meet him for a while. Then he went into the city. And the soldiers of the city gate stopped him, and refused to let him in. Zuo Ci made a mockery and said: "The poor road is Mr. Zuo Ci of Tianzhu Mountain Wujiao, and he is currently the protector of the Three Qing Sects. I came to see Lord Qin and reported it. The soldiers of the city gate hurriedly went to the general's mansion to see Cao Cao and reported: "There is a Taoist priest Mr. Wujiao who asks to see him." "Lord Qin ordered you to come into the city. The pawn did not turn around, and suddenly saw that Zuo Ci had entered the hall. I saw that he was missing, lame, wearing a white rattan crown and a green lazy coat. Lord Qin was extremely unhappy. When Zuo Ci saw Cao Cao, he made a mockery and said, "Zuo Ci of Poor Dao Tianzhu Mountain has seen the courtesy." Lord Qin said: "What is the matter with the Taoist chief coming to my Nanyang?" Zuo Ci said: "I heard that Your Majesty and Li Si, the king of Lu of Qi State, fought against each other, and came to help. Lord Qin said: "The world knows that Zuo Ci is rewarded by Huang Tianhua, how dare you come to deceive me!" Zuo Ci said: "Although he is the leader of the sect, he has entered the world and committed indiscriminate killing, which is contrary to the word 'Taiping', which is not the work of Taoism." Then he came to help His Majesty the Lord of Qin. Lord Qin asked, "What can the Taoist do to help me?" Zuo Ci said: "I am in a hurry, and my mouth is hungry." Begging for food and drink. "Lord Qin ordered to take wine and meat and Zuo Ci. You must eat all the sheep and drink the three jars. Lord Qin waited for him to finish his food and asked, "Dao Chief, can you eat more?" Zuo Ci said: "I should have eaten some more, but there is still something urgent about the poor road." Then he turned and wanted to go. Lord Qin hurriedly said: "The road is long and stays." Dialects help me break Qi, how can I forget. Zuo Cinnai and Lord Qin whispered: "Lord Qi is a mortal with a limited lifespan. Your Majesty only needs to defend the city for a hundred years, and when the Lord of Qi grows old, he will naturally win the world. When Lord Qin heard this, he was furious and ordered Zuo Ci to be taken down and beheaded. Left and right led Zuo Ci to the outside of the hall and beheaded him. When the knife is slashed, it will slash straight out. Suddenly, Lord Qin shouted, hugged his head and shouted in pain. Suddenly, I saw Zuo Ci break free from the chain and walk into the air, and he didn't see it for a moment. Lord Qin had a headache and fainted.

Zuo Ci went out of Nanyang and went to the Qi military camp to meet King Lu. Tell King Lu about seeing Cao Cao. He also said: "Cao Cao's life should be like this, it is not a poor way." King Lu said: "The left protector has made great contributions, and he will leave his name for all generations." Zuo Ci said: "The poor road killing and robbery is over, you can't travel anymore, you should return to the church." Then he said goodbye to King Lu.

However, it was said that Cao Cao fainted for three days in a row, and by the fourth day, he was already dead. Xiahoudun and others reported to Luoyang on the one hand, and secretly mourned on the other. Suddenly: "The soldiers crossed the water." Xiahoudun hurriedly put on his horse and led the army to greet him. It's just that the Qi soldiers have been accumulating strength for many days, and they actually attacked Nanyang in five ways. The Qin soldiers had no fighting spirit, could not resist the impact, and were defeated by the five routes. The Xiahou brothers were helpless, and refused to return to Qi, and had no shame to return to Luoyang, so they went to Jingshan to live in seclusion. Yan Ming, Yan Teng, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao and others threw together, Dian Jie was bumped into by Qi Hailing in the chaos of the army, cut into two pieces with a knife, and Dian Wei disappeared.

Only Cao Chun and Kou Feng fled back to Luoyang and met the crown prince Cao Ang. So he summoned Jiang Ji, Wang Guan, Liu Ye and others to discuss the matter of supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne. Liu Ye said: "This matter must be called to Cao Ren to preside over the overall situation before it can be done." Then he ordered Pegasus to go to Chang'an and call Cao Ren back to Beijing. When Cao Ren arrived in Luoyang, Cao Chun, Kou Feng and others led the defeated troops back. The next day, Dian Wei returned to Beijing with Xun Yu. Cao Ren and Cao Chun asked Xun Yu to take charge. Xun Yu excused himself and said: "This is a family matter of the Cao family, so what's the point?" Cao Ren said: "Mr. is Cao Qin's important minister, the confidant of the old lord." At a time of national crisis, why bother to resign. Xun Yu couldn't refuse, but asked Cao Ang to come out of the palace with Jiang Ji. Xun Yu said: "The prince and mourn, should focus on the overall situation." The country cannot be without a king for a day, and it must be honored as soon as possible. Cao Ang said: "Qilu thief, left-handed demon, harmed his father, how can he share the same day." Xun Yu said: "The prince can ascend to the throne first, and then raise troops to take revenge." Break the king of Lu first, and then remove the lord of Qi. "Cao Ang turned happy, which made Xun Yu and others prepare to ascend the throne. The next day, he arranged to ascend the throne. He also named Cao Pi as the king of Chen, Cao Zhi as the king of Liang, Cao Zhang as the king of Pei, and Cao Xiong as the king of Deng. On the one hand, he arranged for Cao Ren to guard Chang'an, and on the other hand, he transferred the garrisons of Hedong, Hongnong, Hangu and other places to Luoyang, wanting to fight a decisive battle with Li Si, the king of Lu.

Let's say that Xiliang Taishou Zhang Xiu learned of this news and went to the court to attack Chang'an. Ma Chao, the lord of Western Shu, allowed it. The meteor horse is in a hurry, not a day, and the purpose is to reach the heavens and waters. Zhang Xiu raised 80,000 troops to take Chang'an. Cao Ren led troops to greet him, accompanied by the general Xu Huang. The two armies formed a circle, and Zhang embroidered the horse and said: "Cao Ren, this general must take Chang'an this time!" Cao Ren said: "Zhang Xiu, in the past three years, he has fought six times, when did he succeed?" Zhang Xiu was furious and ordered Qiang to go out with the horse. The Fal Tong Hammer shouted. On the Qin soldiers' array, Xu Huang took the axe to engage in battle. The two generals have ten combinations, and the outcome is uncertain. Zhang Xiu made a move to embroider the flag, and Zhang Xian and Lei Xu each led an army to kill from both sides. Cao Ren divided Wei Kang and Liang Kuaner to resist the two wings. There were thirty rounds of fighting, and he was defeated. Cao Ren drove his troops to kill and defeated the Shu soldiers. Zhang Xiu collected his troops and returned to the camp, and discussed with Han De and said: "Xu Huang has the courage of ten thousand people, and he must first get rid of it before he can take Chang'an." Han De said: "There are 500 copper hammer hands under the command of General Moth Shasai, and he is good at using copper hammers as hidden weapons, and he hurts people with his hands, and his hands are extremely heavy. Can lie in the yellow sand in the northwest, and when Xu Huang is led here, he will be able to knock Xu Huang off his horse by firing a hammer together. Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, so he arranged it according to this plan. The next day, the troops were exchanged, and Xu Huang was named to fight. Xu Huang came out of the horse to fight, but before the three or five together, he was defeated and left. Xu Huang didn't chase either. Vatong also took a hammer to hit Xu Huang, and was flashed by him. Xu Huang was furious, and Pegasus came to take down Tong. After retreating, Vat Tong went northwest. Xu Huang rushed across the desert and suddenly saw countless Qiang soldiers rushing out, all of whom made the copper hammer fight indiscriminately. Xu Huang was caught off guard, his calf, chest, and shoulder were hit, blood was spitting out from his mouth, and he barely fled with pain. When he fled to the front of the Qin array, he fell off his horse and fainted. When Zhang Xiu saw it, he hurriedly drove his troops to cover up the killing, and won a complete victory. There were also Qiang soldiers coming from all sides to help in the battle. Cao Ren couldn't resist it, suffered a big loss, retreated into Chang'an, and couldn't hold out. He also ordered Pegasus to ask for help from Cao Ang, the lord of Wei.

Since Cao Ang ascended the throne, he has recruited soldiers and horses from all over the country to fight a decisive battle with Qilu. Li Si, the king of Chalu, had pacified all parts of Jingbei, and the orthodox army rushed to Luoyang. The Qin soldiers were stationed in Yongning, and the Qi soldiers were stationed in Yiyang, facing each other across the Luoshui. The Qi soldiers crossed the water several times, but they were all repelled by Xun Yu. It was stolen into Songshan by Dian Wei and lay on the road to transport grain. Sun Xing's grain has passed so far, and Dian Wei suddenly killed. Sun Xing tried hard to come to the enemy, but before Shihe, he was stabbed by Dian Wei's halberd and fell off the horse. When the remaining soldiers saw that Sun Xing was killed, they all scattered and fled for their lives. Dian Wei got the grain and grass, and carried it all back to the camp. Cao Ang was overjoyed and rewarded Dian Wei. Suddenly, there was a fast horse coming from Chang'an. When Xun Yu heard this, he shouted: "It's not good, Xishu is coming." "Cao Ang ordered to report. Sure enough, it was. Cao Ang said: "There are hungry wolves in front of you who have not retreated, and there are tigers in the back. God won't help me Cao Qin! Xun Yu said: "The top priority is to retreat the troops first, and then divide the troops to guard Chang'an." Liu Ye said: "No." If Xishu breaks Chang'an, Luoyang will also be difficult to protect. What's the use of retreating at that time? Cao Ang said: "This is very good. Then he ordered Zhang Liao to divide an army to help Cao Ren defend Chang'an. As soon as Zhang Liao withdrew, Qin's troops were even more single, and they were defeated by Qi soldiers crossing the water for a while. The Qin soldiers couldn't be stationed, and they were driven to the Tiger Prison. Even the Tiger Prison Pass was captured by Qi soldiers. Dian Wei drove to Luoyang Palace. But I don't know when the general Kou Feng has arrived in Luoyang, and he actually led his own soldiers to occupy the city. Dian Wei went to the city gate and shouted, "Open the door!" Kou sealed on the city and said: "We have been in Qi for a long time! "Then he ordered the arrows to be set up in the city. The two of them could not retreat, and they were both killed by random arrows.

Li Si, the king of Lu, was welcomed into Luoyang by Kou Feng, took the concubines of Cao Qin's harem, etc., and ordered a general to be sent to Linzi. He also discussed with the generals and said: "There is still Cao Ren's army in Chang'an City, if you know that Luoyang is broken, you will soon throw yourself into Western Shu." Xun Chen said: "You can make Kou Feng pretend to be a Qin soldier, earn the city gate, and then take advantage of the situation." "King Lu ordered to act according to the plan. Not long after, the Qi soldiers won Chang'an again. Cao Ren killed himself at the city gate. Zhang Xiu's attack on Chang'an was unsuccessful for several days, but he was taken by the Qi soldiers, and he was furious and drove the troops to a decisive battle with the Qi soldiers. was sprinkled with fire and thunder by Lu Ying, and the explosion threw off his armor and ran away with his head in his arms.

Since then, the world has become the peak of the Three Kingdoms.
