Chapter 575: Shou Cheng Dies, Meng Qi Returns to Brother-in-law
When Li Yi was like a bamboo, Zhang Yan, Su Li, and Zhang Fei had their own gains, Qingzhou also staged a good show. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the erratic tactics adopted, everyone in Yuan Shao's army was in danger, and he immediately made peace with Cao Cao. And what about Cao Mengde? Seeing that Li Yi easily won Yuan Shao's several counties was a foregone conclusion, he was also shocked in his heart, and secretly regretted that he should not have rubbed with Yuan Shao, and weakened the barrier in the north.
Cao and Yuan hit it off, from saber rattling to shaking hands and making peace. Yuan Shao also transferred heavy troops from the south to the north. But after all, Yuan Shao's strength has been greatly damaged, and his current number of soldiers and horses is less than 100,000.
Just when Yuan Shao had taken action and had not yet started, he didn't want Zhao Yun to smell the smell, so he took advantage of the great loss of Yuan's morale to occupy the two counties of Qi and Jinan, and also drove the soldiers and horses east of the Yellow River in Pingyuan County to Hexi, which was basically surnamed Li.
With such a big move, Li Yi didn't dare to imagine it. And to fight further south, it is necessary to start a difficult siege battle with Yuan Shao, with many casualties, and the supply is also a difficulty, and Wen Chou and Yan Rou in the rear still need to be solved, so Li Yi decided to withdraw his troops and return to the army.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were stationed in Qingzhou, Zhen Yao was stationed in Zhongshan, and Liyi was stationed in Hejian, and Zhao Yun and Su Li were withdrawn to Jicheng. Without worries, Li Yi led the victorious army back triumphantly.
When Wang Shi came to Yan County, the momentum was like a rainbow and the invincible momentum made the defenders feel extremely shocked. The defender Yan Rou held out for more than ten days, and the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and he no longer had the strength to consume any more, and Li Yi not only had enough soldiers and food, but also quickly resolved the battle, so what did Yan Rou use to compete with him?
Yan Rou is not Yuan Shao's sworn friend, he will not be martyred for him, the one who knows the times is Junjie, this wise and brave hero, finally opened the city gate and came out to welcome Li Yi into the city.
After receiving a general and ending the war in the river, Li Yi was double happy, and he rushed to Zhuo County in high spirits.
At this time, the situation in Zhuoxian County also changed greatly, Zhang Fei and Wen Chou stopped fighting, and finally chatted in front of the two armies, which is also extremely rare in military history.
Li Yi's arrival gave Wen Chou a sense of shock, especially Zhao Yun was among them, this man who had a headache when he saw him, he had to say that Wen Chou admired the five-body throw.
Ants can't shake the tree, how can the light of the stars compete with the bright moon? Wen Chou finally lowered his arrogant head, he knelt down in front of Li Yi, and bowed his head.
There was no war in the north, and there was peace for the time being, but conflict broke out in the south. In order to fight for the ownership of Jingzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Biao finally went to war.
Cao Cao's generals are gathered, and the strategists are also bright, and his strength is strong enough to compete with Li Yi.
And what about Liu Biao? There are only Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, but what about the generals? Wei Yan and Huang Zhong's strength is not low, but they cannot be reused, and they are buried under the tent of Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha. In addition to these two people, there are also generals Wen Ping and Gan Ning, but they are also unknown, and they live a mediocre life in Jingbei and Jingdong respectively.
Reusing Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and a group of other useless people, the result of this battle can be imagined, Liu Biao was defeated and lost, fled south in a hurry, and handed over Northern Jingzhou to Cao Cao.
This is still with the help of the Yangtze River natural insurance, otherwise Liu Biao will have no place to stand.
Occupied Jingbei, the gateway into Sichuan was opened, and Liu Zhang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in Shuzhong, had only been on the throne for a few years, and he found that he had done a great stupid thing, attracting Cao Cao, a traitorous male. Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent, how could he be Cao Cao's opponent, in just a few months, he was taken by Cao Mengde to the land of Bashu.
Deshu and Wanglong, Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, was also captured by Cao Cao by the way, so Cao Mengde's strength increased greatly, and he was not inferior to Li Yi.
When this news reached the ears of the princes, they were all shocked, especially Ma Teng, since Cao Cao defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan, he was in a panic, and now Cao Cao almost captured the Central Plains, and the army gathered in Chang'an, how could Ma Teng not be frightened?
In addition to Ma's who was on the right to support the wind, Li Yi and Sun Ce were also very surprised. Li Yi took great pains to capture a few counties of Yuan Shao, but what about Cao Cao? As soon as the army came out, it actually occupied half of Jingzhou, along with a complete Yizhou. How could this not shock Li Yi?
Not to mention Sun Ce, after he occupied Jiangdong, in addition to consolidating development, he set his sights on Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, the duck in his mouth was snatched away by Cao Cao. If it weren't for Sun Ce, Chen Bing, and Lujiang to support Liu Biao, I'm afraid that the entire Jingzhou would be surnamed Cao.
This is also Cao Cao's prosperity, and the opponents he faced were a group of incompetent people, so he easily succeeded.
However, Li Yi also had gains, Jia Xu went out for two years, and finally returned triumphantly, and brought back fruitful results. The countries of Jiankun, Hujie, and the Western Regions were all submissive, and Dawan and Wusun were also included in Li Yi's territory.
With such a huge success, it was naturally no worse than Cao Cao, so Jia Xu was also canonized as the general of Zhenxi, ranking behind Zhang Ying and Yu Bing, and before the five tiger generals.
In fact, the occupation of Jiankun, Hujie, and Wusun is only an increase in territory, and Dawan is very different, it is rich in famous horses, and the sweat and blood BMW are unparalleled in the world. And the mounts of Li Yi and others are slowly getting old, and Jia Xu lost no time in bringing back thousands of BMWs, although there are not many masterpieces, but they are enough for Li Yi and other generals to replace.
Just when Li Yi was overjoyed, Ma Chao brought his wife Zhen Dao, sister Ma Wenlu, and cousin Ma Dai to defect. Seeing Ma Mengqi's depressed look, something big happened.
Sure enough, after a little inquiry, Li Yi learned that the old general Ma Teng had been killed, and the culprit was his father-in-law, Lao Taishan Cao Cao. This is really difficult, one is a father-in-law, the other is a brother-in-law, and both are close relatives. It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and Li Yi is really sad, which makes it difficult for him to be a man.
Just when Li Yi was entangled, something happened in Xuzhou, and it was Xiapi who guarded Cao Hong and Guangling guarded Chen Palace.
"Ma Chao is willing to take a sentry to Xuzhou to kill Cao Hong." Ma Chao looked like he swore to avenge his blood.
Isn't this letting Zhen Fu and Cao Jing pinch each other? Li Yi's heart sank, he glanced at the fierce Ma Mengqi, and no longer how to refuse.
"Meng Qi is a little restless, this situation has not yet developed to the point of swords facing each other. As long as there is room for manoeuvre, we don't want to have a head-on conflict with Cao Gong, after all, we are relatives! Zhang Ying said calmly.
Zhang Ying is a pun, she sold face to Cao Jing, and woke up Ma Chao, they are all relatives, there is no difference between relatives and relatives, it is not that she does not support him, but she has unspeakable suffering.
Ma Chao is unruly, but in front of Zhang Ying, he is still somewhat restrained. That's because Ma Chao has been exposed to it and has experienced Zhang Ying's ability with his own experience, and he admires it from the bottom of his heart.
