"Cao Cao has given the head!"

"Cao Cao has given the head!"

"Cao Cao has given the head!"

Suddenly, the overwhelming cheers resounded throughout the battlefield, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army became higher and higher, while the morale of the Cao Army was even lower.

"Win!"

In the darkness, I don't know who shouted first, in an instant, the cheers of the Yellow Turban soldiers were like the waves of the long river, resounding through the sky, in the cheers of the soldiers of the three armies, Zhang Bao and Jia Xu rode their horses forward slowly, but saw the battlefield was full of corpses, broken halberds like a forest, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.

War, this is war!

Either you die or I die, there will never be a third possibility!

"Lord, Cao Cao's head is here!"

Dian Weice immediately stepped forward and handed the bloody head in his hand to Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao couldn't help but be stunned, and Jia Xu was even more speechless: "Why is Cao Cao so young?" This is not Cao Cao! ”

"Ah, not Cao Cao?" Dian Wei was stunned and said, "Damn, I actually let Cao Cao cheat!" ”

"Please forgive the lord, and then chase this again!"

Dian Wei said, and then he wanted to lead the army to chase and kill.

"Forget it, I don't have to." Zhang Bao waved his hand to stop Dian Wei, and said indifferently, "It's dark, it's too late to chase, let's wait for Zhang Jun to come back." ”

"Lord!"

Zhang Bao's voice fell, and Zhang Jun's voice sounded under the night sky in front of him, and even though more than a dozen horsemen rushed in front of Zhang Bao, he stopped his horse with a sigh.

"Lord, a total of three Cao armies broke out of the encirclement and fled to Xuchang, Wancheng and Hanzhong respectively."

"Well, Cao Cao must be in these three remnants!" Zhang Bao said this, looked back at Jia Xu, and asked in a deep voice, "Wenhe, in your opinion, in which direction will Cao Cao flee, Xuchang?" Wancheng? Or Hanzhong? ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "In this battle, the Cao army was defeated, and the elite of the department was wiped out, even if he fled to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu would not take this hot yam." Therefore, Cao Cao will never flee to Hanzhong, and only by escaping back to Wancheng or Xuchang will Cao Cao have a chance to regroup. But~"

Jia Xu said this, and muttered: "According to Cao Cao's character, it is unlikely that he will escape to Xuchang. After all, Xuchang can't withstand the war, so there is only Wancheng! ”

"Wancheng?" Zhang Bao's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Wancheng is currently in the hands of Liu Biao, if Cao Cao flees to Wancheng, does it mean that he has formed an alliance with Liu Biao?" In this case, things are not very easy! ”

Although Liu Biao was frightened by Zhang Bao's previous partial division, Jingzhou was a rich land after all, and it almost did not suffer any major wars, so the country was rich and the people were rich, and its richness even exceeded that of Cao Cao, who occupied the Central Plains. If Cao Cao fled to Wancheng, then the Yellow Turban Army pursued it, which would be equivalent to a war against Liu Biao~

"Things are indeed a bit tricky~" Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "At present, our army is at a critical moment of recuperation, and it is not the time to organize a large-scale battle to fight head-on with princes like Liu Biao~"

"Alas~ It's a pity~" Zhang Bao said regretfully, "Such a great opportunity, but it was wasted, Cao Cao is really fateful!" That's it, that's it, when Cao Cao designed General Ben, didn't General Ben also escape? It's good to have a tie anyway~"

Zhang Bao said this, and said sharply: "Order, class teacher~"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In August of the thirteenth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army and the Cao Army fought fiercely in Nanyang, defeated the Cao Army, beheaded thousands, and beheaded Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and the general, Cao Cao only led hundreds of remnants of the army to flee to Wancheng in panic, and Liu Biao's general Wen Ping responded to lead the army to retreat to Wancheng, and then, the general Zhang Liao led an army of 20,000 to Wancheng to join Cao Cao.

However, Zhang Bao adopted the plan of his henchman Jia Xu, thinking that it was not yet the time for a large-scale war, so he retreated to Chang'an and ordered the general Gao Shun to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to garrison Nanyang to prevent a joint sneak attack by Liu Biao and Cao Cao. Then he ordered Zhang Jun to lead the army to garrison Wuguan and Nanyang from afar, thinking that he should respond!

And Cao Cao learned that Zhang Bao retreated to Chang'an, and the battle of Nanyang was lost and the army was in urgent need of recuperation, so he led the army back to Xuchang, but these are not fatal reasons, the most critical problem is that Xun Yu who stayed in Xuchang 800 miles of urgency, Xiaopei's Lu Bu led a large army to attack Liang State ~

Once again, the clouds of war fell over Cao Cao's head.

At the same time, Sun Jian recruited and trained the navy in Eastern Wu and gradually became stronger, and finally attracted the attention of Liu Biao of Jingzhou, under the punt of Cai Mao, the governor of the naval army, Liu Biao decided to strike hard at the arrogance of Eastern Wu, and in September of the 30th year of Chuping, he ordered Cai Mao to lead 100,000 Jingzhou naval troops to start a war with Eastern Wu.

Zhou Yu believes that today's northern heroes stand side by side, the Yellow Turban Zhang Bao, the general Yuan Shao, and the Han Prime Minister Cao Cao are all immortal heroes, and they are in a hurry, and the Wu army should stay out of the situation at this time, sit and wait for the northern melee, and not easily fall into the war, so as not to fall into the mud and be difficult to extricate themselves.

But Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are incompetent.

Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Jian should increase his troops and horses, accumulate military funds, and take advantage of the endless fighting of the three major warlords in the north to go up the river to destroy Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, and gain the land of Jingzhou and Yizhou, so that he can divide the river with the northern warlords and rule, if the time is right, he can wrap up a million strong troops to the north to attack the Central Plains, and if the situation is not suitable, he can also defend himself according to the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Yu's strategy can be said to be very strategic.

Zhou Yu keenly found that the battlefield of the Central Plains was a quagmire, and it may not be possible to get benefits by investing in it with the current strength of Eastern Wu, and Eastern Wu lacked the strategic strength to compete in the Central Plains, that is, cavalry! On the premise that there were not enough cavalry, it would be extremely unwise for the Wu army to rush north to the Central Plains, especially in the face of Zhang Bao, who was known for his strong cavalry, and would be at an absolute disadvantage.

But this is not the case with Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

First of all, Jingzhou and Yizhou are located in the south, with vertical and horizontal rivers and dense water networks, so the two places are not conducive to the use of cavalry, and they are connected to the Yangtze River with Dongwu, and the Dongwu naval army can go up the river and play a role in determining the surname in the war! After capturing Jingzhou and Yizhou, Eastern Wu could also rely on rivers and water networks to resist the cavalry power of the northern princes.

Zhou Yu's strategy completely avoided the strategic disadvantages of the Wu army, and carried forward the strategic advantages of the Wu army to the extreme.

Sun Jian adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion, with the eldest Sun Ce as the army capital governor of Lujiang Shu County, and Zhou Yu as the water army capital governor of Hukou, the generals Huang Gai, Pan Zhang, Han Dang, and Jiang Qin each listened to the adjustment in front of the two governors' tents, and ordered Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, and Buqi to build water conservancy, rectify agriculture, step up the reserve of grain and military resources, and be ready to attack Jingzhou at any time!

Liu Biao's dispatch of troops gave Sun Jian an excuse to attack Jingzhou.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu personally led hundreds of grain fleets along the river, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not know what to do, and sent extremely fast boats, Meng Chong, and fighting ships to pursue, but they encountered heavy fog on the water surface and lost their way.

Losing the protection of the boats, Mengchong, and fighting ships, the large building ships of the Jingzhou Navy appeared to move slowly and clumsily, and were finally overwhelmed by the wolf pack tactics of the Eastern Wu Navy Army, and all 17 large building ships were burned, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun only led dozens of ships to escape.

。。。。。。

Compared with the momentum of the Wu army on the southern battlefield, the Cao army and the Lu Bu army in the northern battlefield were inseparable, but in May of the fourteenth year of the first peace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the battlefield of Liang State took a turn for the better!

Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the war in Yanzhou and Yuzhou has not stopped, and the continuous wars have led to a sharp decline in the population of the two states, and the people are not living well, and a large number of young and strong people have died on the battlefield and have also caused devastating damage to the agricultural production of the two states.

This is also the biggest reason why although Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven and occupied the righteousness of the imperial court, he was always in a weak position.

However, Guo Jia appeared when Cao Cao was on the verge of despair, and proposed to Cao Cao the strategy of Tuntian!

The so-called Tuntian, in fact, is similar to the Tuntian model implemented by Zhang Bao under his rule~ The benefits of Tuntian are amazing, so Cao Cao can stand tall in the land of a hundred battles.

Then, because the wheat was about to be harvested, Guo Jia set up an ambush to lure Lü Bu to divide his troops to attack, Lü Bu didn't know what to do, and sent the generals Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and Wei Xu to lead troops to grab the wheat, but they were ambushed by Cao's army, and Lü Bu's army was defeated.

Lu Bu was ashamed and brave, and at Cao Xing's suggestion, he took advantage of Cao's army to harvest wheat and lead the army to attack the city~

When Lü Bu led the army to the outside of the city of Qiao, Cao Chun led the army to meet the battle, but was defeated by Lu Bu, so he had to lead the army to rush into the city of Qiao.

And Lu Bu led the army straight into the city with all his might, but he didn't want the city to suddenly sound the horns, and the ambushes around him were exhausted, and a random arrow was fired, and the Lu Bu army that rushed into the city suddenly fell.

In a hurry, Lu Bu brandished Fang Tian's halberd to knock out a bloody road from the army, and he rushed out of the city, and the dense forests on both sides suddenly killed everywhere, Cao Cao ambushed a full 8,000 elite soldiers in the dense forests on both sides, and took advantage of the fact that Lu Bu's army entered the city in a big way, and immediately cut off the retreat of Lu Bu's army.

Cao Jun inside and outside the attack, Lu Bu's army was defeated like a mountain, Lu Bu rushed left and right to break out of the encirclement, was thinking that he would die, the northeast corner of the Cao army suddenly chaos, Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly collected the remnants of the army to the northeast corner to cover up, but found that it was Cao Xuan who led the army to help, and the two armies converged at the moment, killed through the Cao army's encirclement, and went to Jianping.

However, when Lu Bu and Cao Xing led the army back to Jianping, they found that the banner of the Cao army was hanging high on the tower of Jianping City.

Of course, Cao Cao will not miss this God-given opportunity, and immediately ordered Zangba to lead the army to follow-up, and he took Zhang Liao as the vanguard, personally led 8,000 elite soldiers to march lightly and kill Xiaopei, but as a result, the remnants of Lu Bu and Cao Xing had just retreated to Xiaopei, and Cao Cao's army also followed, surrounding Xiaopei City.

At the end of May, Zangba led an army of 20,000 to join Cao Cao outside the city of Xiaopei, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered to dig a deep ditch along the outside of Xiaopei City, and the ditch was full of antlers, and the arrow tower was built outside the ditch, posing for a long-term siege.

。。。。。。

In the backyard of Lu Bu's official residence, Lu Bu was facing the bright moon in the sky and sighed for a long time, and the moonlight dragged Lu Bu's figure on the ground for a long time.

However, the heart of the invincible military general is no longer there.

"General?"

A pulsed voice sounded from behind her, Lu Bu slowly turned around, the delicate and graceful body of the sable cicada like a flower looked more and more graceful and charming under the moonlight, the wind and frost of the years did not leave any traces on her face, and Lu Bu's day and night watering made her more and more delicate.

"Cicadas."

Lu Bu called out in a low voice, he was so stupid that he thought that after the defeat of the army, such a stunning beauty would be reduced to the spoils of Cao Cao's thief, Lu Bu was so distressed that he almost suffocated! But kill her? Lu Bu couldn't be ruthless no matter what, cicada, cicada, what should you let me do with you?

Lu Bu suddenly understood a little bit of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, when he faced Yu Ji, that love for children and daughters, that shortness of breath for heroes, regretting that he didn't listen to Cao Xing's words and betrayed Zhang Bao, he only hated the world ruthlessly and couldn't do it again~

Lu Bu is also a hero, and a sable woman is also a beauty, but whether it is a hero or a beauty, their ending must be doomed~

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In the summer of the fourteenth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Bao set his eyes on Hanzhong and ordered Zhao Yun, the Taishou of Liangzhou, to lead an army of 25,000 to attack Zhang Lu, who was entrenched in Hanzhong, and Cao Cao expressed his willingness to sign a non-aggression agreement within one year out of consideration for the transfer of the Yellow Turban Army's troops to win a respite!

Hanzhong County belongs to Yizhou, which is a typical Shu land, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At that time, there were three roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong.

It is an official road to go south from Sanguan through the sloping valley to Hanzhong, but it is blocked by Yangping Pass; To the east is the Meridian Valley road, the mountain road is winding, rugged and difficult to walk, you need to travel more than 800 miles between the mountains and mountains, you can go straight from Chang'an to Hanzhong, only the hunters and woodcutters have always dared to go; To the west is the Chencang Ancient Road, which is also steep and difficult.

Zhao Yun's army of 25,000 was divided into three routes.

The 5,000 people on the east road were led by Yu She, starting from Chang'an and going straight to Hanzhong through the Meridian Valley road, and the 5,000 people on the west road were led by Huanglong, starting from Wudu County, approaching Chuyang through the Chencang Ancient Road, and outflanking the south Zheng side, and the army of 15,000 people on the middle road was led by Zhao Yun himself to go south through the Xiegu Valley and approach Yangping Pass.

According to Zhang Bao and Jia Xu's premeditated plan, Zhao Yun's middle road army marched south from the Xiegu Valley with great fanfare to attract Zhang Lu's attention.

Sure enough, when Zhang Lujun and the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhao Yun were in full swing, although Yu Shi and Huang Long led the army to appear in the Hanzhong Plain, they had become two tired divisions, but these two tired divisions made Zhang Lu of Nanzheng shocked, and the last bit of resistance in his heart also disappeared, and when the remnants of Yu Shi and Huanglong were still more than 100 miles away from Nanzheng, Zhang Lu ordered Zhang Wei to open Yangping Pass and welcome Zhao Yun's army into Hanzhong.

In August of the 14th year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban soldiers captured Nanzheng without blood, and Zhang Lu, the Taishou of Hanzhong, led the people to surrender.
