For those historical generals on the Three Kingdoms, no matter which princely forces they belonged to, except for a few guys, Liu Yi actually didn't have any special bad feelings.

After all, except for a very small number of these military generals of the Three Kingdoms in history, most of them did not have any special crimes, all that can be said is that they are their own masters and the lords they follow are different. Most of the generals of the Three Kingdoms, their concepts are actually the same, they all want to have a turnaround, and even, in their hearts, there will be a concept of supporting the Han family to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

is like Xu Huang who Liu Yi let go, although he attacked Liu Yi's Zhenfeng Grain Mansion back then, he has always been an enemy of Liu Yi. However, he is just obeying the orders of others, each according to his own master. Even if there is a grudge, it is not a personal grudge, so Liu Yi let Xu Huang go, and he didn't feel anything in his heart. Because the most important thing is that Liu Yi is strong himself, let go of Xu Huang, and there is no feeling of letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Of course, it is also Xu Huang's fate, because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei once hated Xu Huang and Xiahoudun very much, after all, it was the two of them who attacked and killed Liu Bei in Xiangyang City and killed Liu Bei by the Xiangjiang River.

However, later I learned that Liu Bei was not dead, and Liu Bei, who was not dead, had completely changed as a person, and actually provoked all aliens to invade the New Han Dynasty, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei very sad and extremely disappointed with Liu Bei. Furthermore, for Xu Huang and Xiahoudun, the two Cao generals who had "killed" Liu Bei, the hatred was not so deep.

This time he met Xu Huang in the underground palace of the Qinling Mountains, and Guan Yu also tried to kill Xu Huang several times, but he didn't kill him. Because when Guan Yu and Cao Cao agreed on the three chapters of the law were temporarily returned to Cao Cao. Among Cao Jiang, Xu Liao and Guan Yu can talk about it. Xu Huang also often finds Guan Yu to drink and learn, and they both admire each other. So. Now facing Xu Huang, Guan Yu did not make a dead move.

Especially. Liu Yi didn't say anything, so all the generals had no opinion and let Long Chu take Xu Huang away.

As for Xiahou Yuan, although everyone is also in a hostile position, in the face of Xiahou Yuan personally, don't say that it is Liu Yi, even the generals have no ill feelings towards him. There are no personal grudges. Therefore, if Liu Yi wants to save him, no one has an opinion.

Similarly, not only Liu Yi, but all the generals of the New Han Army, they are full of confidence at this time, and they are not afraid of all enemies at all. Such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other generals, they are even more disdainful of attacking a seriously injured person, they are more willing to be on the battlefield. Fight with the opponent in a dignified manner, and the enemy will be dismounted.

In addition, this underground palace dug up by Qin Shi Huang was completely collapsed and destroyed. But. When Long Chu left, he told Liu Yi that this was the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang. In addition to what is seen now, there should be a mystery. This is not the actual dragon tomb of Qin Shi Huang. But there must be a great deal of wealth in it, he suspects. In the underground palace, there are some passages that he has not had time to explore, which may be the treasure place of Qin Shi Huang. He suggested that Lewi might be able to take out the treasures in the future.

But Liu Yi was noncommittal, and did not plan to dig casually, first, if he wanted to dig, the project was too big, and second, Liu Yi felt that there was no need at all, rather than digging wealth underground, it was better to spend more effort to create wealth. Let the riches of the earth be reserved for future generations. However, Liu Yi also asked Long Chu to keep it secret and not to leak the matter of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang here, so as not to attract some people to come to dig and search.

In the future, Liu Yi will also classify the mountains in this area as a forbidden place, and will not let people enter the mountains and forests in this area.

Leaving the Qinling Mountains, Liu Yi did not leave the way he came, but first arrived at the Meridian Canyon, which had been opened up by the New Han Army. That is, it is a dangerous canyon mountain road that can be passed through the Qinling Mountains from Guanzhong to Hanzhong. This meridian valley is not too far from the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, and Liu Yi estimates that when Qin Shi Huang excavated this underground mausoleum, he also transported some materials to the mausoleum through this meridian valley.

Here, Liu Yi is separated from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They will return to Xiangyang via Hanzhong, where they are now in the area of their military horses. Continue to attack Cao's army, strive to seize the entire Yuzhou and Yangzhou regions as soon as possible, and march to Xudu.

At the time of separation, Guan Yu and Liu Yi talked about the situation in Runan.

It's about Zhang Liao.

It turned out that Guan Yu also noticed that Zhang Liao had a will to die, and Zhang Liao, who was in a dilemma, did not want to be an enemy of the New Han Army on the one hand, but he also did not want to betray Cao Cao. When Guan Yu led the army to Runan, he went out to fight with Guan Yu, which seemed to be fighting with Guan Yu, but it was more like he came to beg for death, so as to fulfill his loyal life.

Guan Yu couldn't bear to behead Zhang Liao on the battlefield, so he talked with Zhang Liao in detail. Eventually some agreements were reached with Zhang Liao.

Guan Yu laid out the facts with Zhang Liao, clearly told Zhang Liao about his plan for the New Han Army, and informed Zhang Liao that his New Han Army was advancing in several ways. With Zhang Liao's Cao army in Runan, it was impossible to stop the advance of the New Han army. Therefore, Guan Yu promised Zhang Liao that the New Han army would besiege Runan City without attacking it with an absolute superiority in troops. And the Cao army led by Zhang Liao could only not go out of Runan City, and they only fought against each other and did not fight.

Because even if the two armies were fighting, the Cao army in Runan City was definitely not the opponent of Guan Yu's New Han Army, and once they fought, the two sides would only increase casualties. The purpose of this is to let Zhang Liao not have to bear the charge of betraying Cao Cao, and to have Zhang Liao's integrity. In this way, Cao Cao has nothing to say, because it is impossible for Cao Cao to accuse Zhang Liao of inaction, it is clear that he can't do the New Han Army, and the Cao Army of Runan, which has become a lone army, is worthy of Cao **** to be able to hold Runan. So, then no one has anything to say.

However, if Cao Cao is defeated, then Zhang Liao will be equivalent to an ownerless general, and at that time, Zhang Liao can lead the Cao army in Runan to submit to the New Han Dynasty and peacefully take Runan. In case, it is the defeat of the New Han army, then naturally there is nothing to say, the New Han army retreats, and Zhang Liao naturally returns to Cao Cao.

Guan Yu's proposals, Zhang Liao has already accepted. Therefore, the New Han Army, which is now in Runan, is only fighting against the Cao army in Runan City, and has not launched a siege war.

Liu Yi recognized Guan Yu's approach. Zhang Liao is a wise general, and he can be used to make great use of it, if he can return to the new Han Dynasty in the future. It's also a great thing. At the same time, Liu Yi also said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The generals were not subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, and Liu Yi was able to let them lead an army to fight alone. Then it means that they have absolute trust in them, and they can act on the battlefield themselves, and they don't have to report to the New Han Dynasty before acting. Lewis gives them the power to improvise.

Seeing off Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Yi returned to Chang'an, Guanzhong, first.

He took the generals to the palace in Chang'an to meet the young emperor, and when he saw that he was all right, he left Chang'an and returned to Luoyang.

Seriously, having had the experience of being assassinated by the young emperor, Liu Yi really didn't dare to take it lightly. Especially at this time when the world is about to become one. Liu Yi didn't want any more accidents, and he didn't want to be taken advantage of. Therefore, the Chang'an Palace has always been heavily guarded, and this time I will explain to Huangfu Song that we must pay attention to the safety of the Chang'an Palace. Irrelevant people, etc., must not be easily put into the palace. We should also pay attention to the diet of the young emperor, and we must not let people be poisoned.

Although it is said that Liu Yi is really not imprisoning the young emperor. However, such a defense of the young emperor is equivalent to imprisoning him. If something really happened to the young emperor, then Liu Yi really confirmed the charge of putting the young emperor under house arrest. In the future, I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. Your own people may understand. But it's hard to keep the world's mouth shut.

Therefore, we must ensure that the young emperor is safe and sound, even if Liu Yi himself wants to ascend the throne as emperor in the future. It is also necessary to take over the throne from the young emperor in a dignified manner, rather than being too ugly. It makes people feel that it was Liu Yi who forcibly took it over.

After returning to Luoyang, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu immediately returned to the building. Go to the Tiger Prison to preside over the overall situation. Lewy did not go to the front right away.

The current situation, especially the front outside the Tiger Prison Pass, is still in a highly tense confrontation situation for the time being, and it is not possible to open up the situation in a short period of time. Therefore, Liu Yi is not too anxious, he can stay in Luoyang and wait for the military horses of all parties to compress Xudu.

Liu Yi also believed that the news of the failure of Sima Hui's death would soon reach Cao Cao's ears through Long Chu. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely be distraught and unable to cope with the advance of the New Han army. At this time, Liu Yi estimated that with Cao Cao's character, he would not surrender to himself, and he would definitely shrink his forces to prepare for the final decisive battle with himself. Therefore, now, the New Han Army outside the Tiger Prison Pass is still mainly restraining Cao Cao's army, waiting for the New Han Army to slowly encroach on Cao Cao's power territory.

No matter what Cao Cao's attitude was, in this way, it would at least make those generals and soldiers who followed Cao Cao feel panicked and made them feel powerless to return to heaven. In this case, when the time comes, a decisive battle will be launched against Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's military horses will definitely be depressed and have no intention of fighting to the death.

The whole world has returned to the New Han Dynasty, and only the areas around Xudu are resisting, so is there any meaning? Cao Cao's military horses and soldiers came from all regions of the Central Plains, including Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and by that time, other states and counties had already been ruled by the New Han Dynasty. Those Cao Jun's hometowns and relatives are all under the rule of the New Han Dynasty, do they still have the heart to fight with the New Han Dynasty?

Therefore, Liu Yi felt that such an arrangement could slowly disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Cao army, so that the Cao army could calm down and have no desire to fight to the death with the Xinhan army.

And at this time, there was good news again.

It is a good news for Xuzhou.

It turned out to be the Jiangdong army on Sun Ce's side, and with the help of Gan Ning, they defeated Cao Hong's army and killed Cao Hong to retreat back to Shouchun City. Subsequently, the Jiangdong Army has recovered the entire Huaiyin area in the southeast of Yangzhou, and in addition, Zhou Yu's military horses have also captured the Lujiang area. With the military horses of Huang Zhong and Huang Xu's father and son, even the southeast of Yuzhou and the northwest of Yangzhou were all collected.

After Sun Ce had suppressed Cao's army to Shouchun City, Gan Ning led the naval army to withdraw from the Yangzhou battlefield and march directly to Xuzhou by sea.

The target of Gan Ning's attack was Xiapi City in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao actually left a lot of generals to defend Xuzhou, such as the generals who surrendered from Yuan Shao, and most of the generals who surrendered after defeating Lu Bu were sent by Cao Cao to guard in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

How to say it, these generals, speaking of ability, also have, but they are not too top-notch, to put it mildly, it is embarrassing and useful. However, it is not necessary to do without them, because if you don't use those generals, and if you don't use all the generals, then who will surrender to him in the future?

Therefore, some local guards can use them. Of course, a general is a general after all, and with Cao Cao's suspicious character, he will definitely not be too relieved. Therefore, although Cao Cao has always been very generous to those generals, and has a generous mind that suspicious people do not need to use people, but these are all superficial. Because Cao Cao first gave them a certain amount of official wealth to show his gratitude, and then gave them the mansions of those generals in Xudu. Let those generals live in Xudu for a while. Then, they were suddenly recruited and transferred to a place to be guards. However, their wives and children are small, so they can only stay in Xudu. Moreover, these generals still hold official positions in the imperial court, and they are transferred to local places to be guards, all of them are temporary, guarding the city, and posing as if they will be transferred back to Xu Du as an official in the future.

It seems to be a gift, but in fact, it is still a faint threat to the wives and children of those generals, so that those generals do not dare to rebel against Cao Cao. can only serve Cao Cao with peace of mind.

is like the situation of Zhang Liao that Guan Yu and Liu Yi said, which is actually the case. Zhang Liao is actually not a pedantic person, but why was he forced to die? In fact, among them, it is nothing more than Zhang Liao's wife and children, who were left in Xudu by Cao Cao. This made Zhang Liao dare not easily say that he would return to the New Han Dynasty.

In Xuzhou, Gao Lan, Hou Cheng, Mao Jue and other generals are basically like this.

Gao Ran was appointed by Cao Cao as the guard general of Xuzhou, Hou became the deputy general, and Mao Jue was the guard general of Xiapi. In addition, there are also Lu Xiang, Lu Qian, Lu Kuang and other generals who are all guarding all over Xuzhou.

Most of these Cao generals are between the second and the second, but it is still very suitable for them to guard a city and a place.

Especially Gao Lan, as the general of General Yuan Shao back then, second only to the general under Zhang He, he still has the ability. He was very aware of the importance of Xiapi City, and specially sent a lot of military horses to station in Xiapi to ensure that Xiapi was not lost.

To tell the truth, Xiapi City is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by mountains, no matter which way from which direction to launch an attack on Xiapi, it is extremely difficult. In addition, a large number of military horses were dispatched, and they had already defended the area within a radius of dozens of miles from Xiapi, and there was no way to attack Xiapi.

However, Cao Cao made a great mistake, that is, he deliberately ordered Chen Deng, a famous scholar from Xuzhou, to go to Xiapi to preside over government affairs.

In this way, it is useless to keep Xiapi as tightly as an iron bucket no matter how tightly Cao Jun guarded it. (To be continued.) )
