Now that the city gate has been breached, and the enemy army has attacked the inner city by ten times, it is impossible for them to have any hope, so those soldiers suddenly lost their confidence completely, and there was no reason to continue fighting, but after a little hesitation, they heard the sound of the weapon falling to the ground endlessly, and the Wei army, which was originally full of monstrous murderous aura, suddenly stood aside in a regular manner, like a little girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and was kneaded by others.

Mao Jue naturally knew that the general trend had gone, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, the horizontal sword was about to kill itself, but he heard the sound of breaking the sky, and a feather arrow shot on his long sword, which shocked his wrist numb, and the sword involuntarily fell to the ground.

Mao Jue looked at the direction of the feather arrow, and saw Liu Qi holding the bow and looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel humiliated in his heart, and said sadly: "I know that the King of Chu is strong in martial arts and is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, but I am just looking for death, what is there to hinder you?" Why are you holding me back for no reason? ”

But seeing Liu Qi jumping off the horse, he came to Mao Jue, and said solemnly: "Mr. misunderstood, this Wang Su knows that Mr. Xiaoxian is a genius in the world, and loyal to the Han family, when he defected to Cao Cao, he thought he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, so he proposed the construction of 'Feng Tianzi to order not to be a minister, to cultivate, and to raise and raise military resources', which has been reused since then." But no one thought that this person was a traitor in troubled times, he bullied the Son of Heaven, humiliated the minister, abolished and killed the queen without authorization, and killed the prince, and did such an intolerable evil deed. was wiped out, and Mr. was just depressed in his heart, so he was falsely accused, and Cao Thief put Mr. in prison without filing a case for investigation, so why should Mr. be loyal to such an unfaithful and unrighteous person? ”

Mao Jue listened to Liu Qi's words and couldn't help but sigh softly. Silent, in fact, for Cao Cao, he has been quite disappointed in the past few years, but as a Confucian student, he has the most important integrity, so the lord cannot be abandoned, and Cao Cao reactivated himself when he was in prison, such kindness made him unbearable to abandon him, so he did not hesitate to die to repay Cao Cao. But now that he has walked out of the ghost gate, and heard Liu Qi's words, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but be moved.

Next, I heard Liu Qi say: "Mr. Tong Guò should know deeply these days that the Han family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and with Cao Cao's virtue, it is impossible to keep his foundation at all, not to mention that Cao Cao is seriously injured now." is at stake, and it is even more powerless to keep Hebei. If Cao Cao died, Cao Cao's sons would be far inferior to his abilities. It is even more difficult to protect Hebei, and Sima Yi is a careerist, once Cao Cao dies, he will inevitably be unwilling to be lonely, and the Cao family also has a certain influence in Hebei. At that time, Hebei will be in chaos, this is our opportunity, if Mr. does not make an early plan now, I am afraid that it will not even be possible to protect himself in the future, so. Whether it is the Han family, the people of the world and Mr. himself, this king hopes that Mr. can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and help protect the Han family. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi gave Mao Jue a deep bow, very respectful. Then gently stepped aside, waiting for Mao Jue to make a decision.

At this time, the news of Cao Cao's defeat back to Hebei had just come, Mao Jue didn't know that he had been seriously injured, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Liu Qi's words, he saw that what Liu Qi said was very reasonable, and saw that Liu Qi was so respectful to himself as a dignified prince, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, sighed deeply, and then bowed down in front of Liu Qi, and said respectfully: "Thanks to the king's refusal to give up, the last general is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly helped Mao Jue up, and said with a smile: "I have filial piety to help first, fortunately." At that time, Mao Jue was appointed as the East Cao Peng of the Taiwei Mansion, in charge of the removal of the 2,000 stone chiefs and military officials.

With the surrender of Mao Jue, Licheng was broken, and the entire Jinan Kingdom also fell into the hands of Liu Qi, and then Liu Qi ordered Zhang Fei and Lu Meng and Sha Moke to lead the army to aid the army besieging Linzi, ordering them to besiege but not attack, and wait for Zang Ba to surrender when the food was exhausted.

After that, Liu Qi ordered Li Dian and Le Jin to stay in Jinan, with Le Jin leading the Jinan Prime Minister, Li Dian as the captain, leading the army to garrison here, strictly preventing the Cao army in Hebei from counterattacking, and at the same time secretly dispatched Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Xu Huang to lead the army to Hongnong, and cooperate with Zhou Yu's Yongzhou army and Pang De's Bingzhou army to occupy Hedong, but he led the rest of the civil and military forces and the pro-army camp back to Luoyang.

At this time, Lu Lingqi took the initiative to ask for her female soldiers to stay, so as to persuade Zang Ba to surrender when necessary, although Liu Qi knew that Zang Ba might not be willing to surrender, but he couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness, so he agreed.

Two months later, Liu Qi led the army back to Luoyang, at this time it was already the sixteenth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Hugh said that it was the Spring Festival, and even the Shangyuan Festival had just passed, but the soldiers in the army did not have any dissatisfaction, because they all received a generous reward from Liu Qi, at the same time, they saw that the army captured Qingzhou again, the situation of the Han Dynasty was clearer, Cao Cao took the two states of Youji and the state, and a part of Qingzhou and a corner of peace, and lost 100,000 troops under his command, this time it can be said that the vitality was greatly injured, It will be difficult for a few years to pose a threat to the south, and after a few years, as the Great Chu regains its vitality, it will be even more difficult for Cao Wei to be an opponent.

The soldiers of the Chu army have such a bright future, and they have been rewarded by the king of Chu, and they have also been promised a three-day vacation, what is there to dislike in their hearts?

Two months later, Liu Qi got the news that Zang Ba of Linzi was exhausted due to the food in the city, and decided to take advantage of the Chu army to relax its vigilance when leading the army to break through, he saw that Zhang Fei was brave and unstrategic, so he chose to take Zhang Fei's army as a breakthrough, but he did not expect that the Chu army had already prepared, his army just arrived in Zhang Fei's camp, and was ambushed by Zhang Fei, and with the torches in the camp, the armies from all walks of life rushed to the army to surround Zang Ba's army, Zang Ba led the army to break through many times, but he was never able to break through, he couldn't help but sigh to the sky, and he was ready to commit suicide.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian also ranked among the eight tiger generals with Zang Ba, and persuaded Zang Ba to surrender with the original brotherhood, but unexpectedly Zang Ba rejected their request so resolutely, and finally committed suicide.

Lu Lingqi couldn't help but angrily scold Zang Ba for being brainless, but she still shed tears, and Zhang Liao and the others also burst into tears, feeling sad that they had lost a good brother.

With the death of Zang Ba, the frightened Wei army, under the leadership of Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Sun Kang and other generals, threw down their weapons and surrendered, allowing the Chu army to easily absorb an army of 30,000 and a population of more than 100,000.

At this point, the Chu army completely pacified the Qingzhou region south of the Yellow River and completely drove Cao Cao's forces back to Hebei.

And at this time, there was good news from Hedong, Zhou Yu, Pang De and Huang Zhong attacked Hedong in three ways, Xiahou Yuan took care of one and lost the other, it was difficult to resist at all, and later Huang Zhong adopted Zhou Yu's strategy to deal with Xiahou Yuan with a tired army, and finally took advantage of the exhaustion of Xiahou Yuan's army, the army waited for work and broke Xiahou Yuan, and even Xiahou Yuan was caught off guard and was killed by Huang Zhong.

When the Wei army saw that Xiahou Yuan was killed, they were all terrified, and they had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender.

Later, Xu Huang and Pei Qian and other generals from Hedong used their influence to quickly settle down the entire Hedong County.

Liu Qi, who received these good news, was naturally overjoyed, and immediately appointed Xu Huang to lead the Taishou of Hedong, and constantly increased the number of troops to threaten Shangdang and the two counties of Hanoi at the same time. At the same time, he also ordered Pang De to gather troops and conquer Daijun Wuhuan Xingshan in Pufulu, so as to clear the way for the conquest of Yanmen.

For Zang Ba's death, Liu Qi also sighed deeply, ordered a thick burial, and posthumously presented as Weihou, and also ordered the recruitment of Zang Ba's two sons Zang Ai and Zang Shun as liehous, and appointed Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Sun Kang and others as Zhonglang generals.

Liu Qi's order was of course to appease the surrendered Qingzhou army, but also to win over Lu Lingqi, Zhang Liao and other old generals of Lu Bu, so both the Qingzhou soldiers and the old generals of Lu Bu were grateful to Liu Qi and were willing to serve the dead.

After dealing with this qiē, the entire Central Plains was calm again, after several months of war, the sergeants were extremely tired, especially in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, the three states of the land, experienced the poison of war, it can be said that the economy is withering, all kinds of waste to be lifted, even Xuzhou, Luoyang, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Yizhou and other places, also because of the transportation of soldiers, grain and grass and other reasons to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, the economy needs to be restored, so Liu Qi ordered in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou, which has become the rear. Jingzhou and other places reduced the number of soldiers, and ordered the non-commissioned officers to return to their hometowns, farm and do business, and contribute to the recovery and development of the economy.

As for the personnel arrangement, Huang Zhong was removed from the Jingzhou Assassin History, and Cui Zhouping was replaced with Cui Zhouping, who was no longer in charge of the military, while Huang Zhong was appointed as the governor of the northwest, and the military governor of Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Bingzhou, and the generals of the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Qiang tribes, and was specifically responsible for pacifying the ethnic minorities in the west and northwest.

At the same time, Ma Chao was appointed to lead the protector of the Western Regions, mainly responsible for the management and rule of the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, ensuring the smooth flow of the Silk Road, and other affairs.

Zhou Yu was the commander of Yongzhou, Jing Zhaoyin, and Si Li, responsible for the recruitment and training of elite soldiers in Yongzhou, including Hedong County, as well as sending troops to fight, and at the same time ensuring the smooth flow of trade routes from Chang'an to Luoyang.

In addition, Liu Qi dismissed Wei Yan from the post of assassin of Xuzhou and replaced it with Chen Deng, and at the same time appointed Wei Yan as the governor of the Eastern Army, the capital governor of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou.

In this way, Liu Qi not only successfully exempted the military power of the supreme governor of Xuzhou and Yizhou, but also did not cause dissatisfaction because of the weakening of the military power of his henchmen, and completed the excessive power of Shun Lì, at the same time, Liu Qi concentrated the military power in the border area, and at the same time arranged heavy troops, so that they could train in Tuntian, and also laid a solid foundation for the army to pacify Hebei in the future.
