Chapter 282: Shouchun Chaos War

Although it has been a few months since the death of the Son of Heaven, the influence is still there, and it still causes turmoil in the world.

The turmoil in Jiujiang County is the most conspicuous, because the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand, countless eyes in the world are watching the changes in Jiujiang.

In the blink of an eye, into April.

In April, the sky may be cloudy and sunny, and in the morning it may be sunny and bright, but in the afternoon, it becomes a dark cloud, and it instantly becomes a violent storm.

In Shouchun City under this weather, the atmosphere is even more depressing.

As the saying goes, if one monk carries water to drink, and two monks cooperate to carry water to drink, then the three monks will become without water to drink.

It is certain that Shouchun City will not be able to withstand their attack, but the confrontation of Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, and Wen Ping's three soldiers and horses makes them unable to let go of their hands and feet to attack the city, and the three of them are afraid that because of the siege, their casualties will be too great, and they will not be able to compete for the jade seal after entering the city.

In this way, a strange confrontation was formed, from a fierce siege to a calm siege, still with cavalry around the city, drumming and rumbling, but no one went to attack the city.

However, this confrontation did not last long, and the city gate was actually breached and opened automatically.

On this day, the sky was misty, the sky was covered with dark clouds, cold winds, and torrential rain was like thunder.

In the ancient city of Shouchun, the city gate is automatically opened.

For a time, the soldiers and horses of the three directions in the northeast, east and west, the war drums rumbled, and the horses' hooves were raised.

"Zixiu, you immediately lead five thousand soldiers and horses, go directly to the Hou General's Mansion, find Yuan Shu, and then get the jade seal of the heirloom country!"

In the northern city, Xiahou Yuan was still very cautious, he left 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city to respond, and he led 50,000 elite soldiers into the city.

The city is very calm, and the calm is a little shocking to them, maybe the people in the city know that this war is inevitable, so they basically hide in their homes, and there is no one in the streets and alleys.

"Uncle, this matter is so smooth, will there be fraud?"

Next to Xiahou Yuan, a young man, riding on a tall horse, with a slender body, dressed in military uniform, heroic and upright, a spear in his hand was raised high, the bottom of the spear was tied with red silk, and he was wearing a red cloak, and his momentum was compelling.

"Zixiu, I can't take care of so much now, even if it's Yuan Shu's trap, we have to step on it, a certain family will lead troops to resist the Xuzhou army and the Jingzhou army, and create a way for you, you must get the jade seal of the country, and when necessary, at any cost."

Xiahou Yuan's eyes burst into a hot light.

He is a cautious general, inexplicably opening the city gate automatically, he will feel a little weird, if it is a normal situation, he will not be so easy to kill into the city.

However, Cao's scouts reported that the soldiers and horses of the east and west, Wen Ping and Zhang Liao had already entered the city, and he had to lead his troops into the city.

The death of the Son of Heaven made the orthodoxy that the Han Dynasty had lost, and it also made this side of the jade seal, which had nothing to do with the overall situation, the top priority.

If there is still an orthodox status in the world today, it is the heirloom jade seal.

Cao Cao was inexplicably burdened with a big black cauldron because of the death of the Son of Heaven, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of a few strategists under his command and their response, the entire Cao camp would have almost been destroyed.

Fortunately, Liu Biao was greedy enough to let Jingzhou bear part of the pressure of the death of the Son of Heaven, so that Cao Cao stopped.

But after all, the Son of Heaven died under Cao Cao's eyelids, and Cao Cao never got rid of this black cauldron, so the current jade seal of the country has become very important to Cao Cao.

So whether this is a trap or not, he stepped in, and at any cost, he got this jade seal.

"But, uncle, according to our scout's report, in Shouchun City, Yuan Shu still has 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers who have not moved, and now the city is empty, and there is no trace of them, I am afraid that he is secretly plotting a conspiracy!"

Cao Ang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said worriedly.

"Zixiu, don't worry, I will find out this part of the soldiers and horses, your task now is to find out Yuan Shu, remember, you must get the jade seal with your own hands!"

Xiahou Yuan's eyes were shining, and he said loudly: "The jade seal represents the mandate of heaven, and you represent Cao Gong, whether Cao Gong can get the favor of the mandate of heaven depends on you!" ”

"Uncle, rest assured, Ang is fighting for his life, and he will also win this jade seal for his father!"

Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, and he has been in the army for several years, and in the past, Puyang fought against Lu Bu, and he was up-and-coming, brave and extraordinary, and also had a strategy, and was able to write and martial arts, and in the eyes of today's Cao ministers, he is a good heir.

"Kill!"

At this time, at the east gate of the city, 10,000 wolf riders from Bingzhou, 10,000 Xuzhou foot soldiers, adding up to 20,000 elite soldiers, under the command of Zhang Liao, killed Shouchun City like a group of wild wolves.

Zhang Liao has the least soldiers and horses among the three forces outside the city, but he has 10,000 wolf riders, which is his biggest reliance on seizing the jade seal.

"Brother Xuande, if you leave 20,000 soldiers and horses, the Cao army and the Xuzhou army will trouble you to lead your troops to resist." At the city gate on the west side, 30,000 elite Jingzhou soldiers and horses also entered the city like wolves and tigers, and the main general, a burly man, looked at Liu Bei, the deputy general next to him, and said loudly.

"General Zhongye, please rest assured, you will definitely wait to block the Cao army and the Xuzhou army!"

Liu Bei's face was calm, his eyes were faint, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Liu Biao gave him a lot of courtesy, and assigned Xinye City to him, so that he could rest and recuperate, while guarding the north gate of Jingzhou for himself, and holding Nanyang Zhang Xiu.

But in secret, Liu Biao has always been wary of him and guarded against his development.

"Eldest son, let's go!"

"Good!" The young man was wearing a robe and a long sword at his waist, and it was Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi.

Wen Ping left 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then with Liu Qi, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, went straight to the mansion of the Hou General in the center of the city and seized the jade seal.

"Big brother, are we going to use him as cannon fodder like this?" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, his bronze drum-like eyes widened, and he looked at the back of the galloping out, his eyes were murderous.

"Yide, don't be impatient!"

Liu Bei didn't care at all, waved his hand, a weird smile was outlined on the corner of his mouth, and said: "If they want to fight, let them fight, we just need to do our thing!" ”

"But?"

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, his breath exploded, like a fierce beast, he looked at Liu Bei, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, why don't you lead thousands of soldiers and horses to secretly get the jade seal." ”

"No, let's resist the Cao army and the Xuzhou army, so that General Zhongye has more jade seals." Liu Bei shook his head, he did have such an idea, but before leaving, he looked at a military advisor invited by the thatched house, and gave him a word, which made him dispel this idea.

"Big brother, why?" Zhang Fei asked puzzled.

"Yide, it's ours, it's ours after all, don't worry, let's go, go for revenge!"

Liu Bei smiled slightly, and then took the lead, rushing to Dongcheng with his soldiers and horses, he always had a grudge against Lu Bu, between the Cao army and the Xuzhou army, he was the first to choose the Xuzhou army.

"Big brother, I must kill Zhang Liao and my horse."

Zhang Fei instantly left the others behind, and what he wanted most now was to kill Zhang Liao, the first general under Lu Bu.

Shouchun City, the former capital of Chu, an ancient city with profound history, is now completely chaotic, with soldiers and horses from all sides, plus hidden Yuan Shu's elite soldiers, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting in the city.

The streets and alleys are filled with bursts of fierce battles, the sound of drums always echoes in the city, the battle in the dark, from day to night, the rain is getting more and more urgent, the battle is becoming more and more fierce, in the misty sky, fighting, they all forget who is fighting whom, and it is completely chaotic.

When the night came, the rain was still there, the empty mansion of the general, a torch with a handle, the light was soaring into the sky, illuminating this mansion like a hundred days, Cao Ang's thousands of elite soldiers came in, looking at the mansion where no one was, only a white jade box remained, lying quietly on the table in the hall.

"Jade seal?"

Cao Ang was already soaked, strode in, opened the box, and when he saw it, his eyes instantly bloomed with a touch of essence.

This situation is a little weird, as if someone gave them this jade seal for nothing.

"Master Gu, come and see, is this the jade seal of the country?" Cao Ang was a little cautious, raised the jade seal in his hand, looked at a scribe in a Confucian robe who was about fifty years old beside him, and asked.

"Four inches in circumference, engraved with five dragons, missing a corner next to it, inlaid with gold, there is a seal text eight-character cloud: ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang. The eldest prince, this is the jade seal of the country, which was used by Emperor Ling in the palace in the past, and there is absolutely no mistake. ”

This official, who used to be an old man in the court, had seen Emperor Ling use jade seals countless times, and he was very familiar with this jade seal.

"Hahaha, good!"

Cao Ang was overjoyed, Ang Tian let out a long roar, and shouted: "Sons, the jade seal has been obtained, the destiny of heaven belongs to Cao, let's go back to meet the lord, go!" ”

"The destiny of heaven belongs to Cao, the ignorant Cao family child, this is the treasure of the Han Dynasty, not your income, leave the jade seal!"

At this time, a burly general, led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the silence of the torn rainstorm rushed in, surrounding the general's mansion inside and outside, and he pointed a big knife at Cao Ang.

"Who's coming?"

Cao Ang's eyes widened, his eyes looked at the coming general, he was not afraid at all, his face was stiff, his momentum was undiminished, and the spear in his hand was angrily opposed.

"Nanyang Wenzhi is here, the Cao family is a child, leaving the orthodoxy of the Han family, and leaving your life!" Wen Ping said coldly.

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops are murderous.

"It turned out to be Liu Biao's subordinates, and he really regarded himself as the Son of Heaven, ridiculous! The sons of the Cao family, kill them with my son! ”

Cao Ang put the jade seal in the jade box, wrapped the box with a long cloth, and then carried it on his back, immediately turned over and got on his horse, pointed his spear, and shouted, with a cold fighting spirit.

"Kill it!"

Five thousand elite Cao soldiers condensed around Cao Ang, their momentum was like a rainbow, condensed into a sharp knife, and slammed into the encirclement of Wen Ping.

"Ignorant children, vainly trying to get their hands on the weapons of the Han Dynasty, they should destroy the nine clans and kill!"

Wen Ping's eyes were round, as a super general in the Gang Realm, every inch of his body was surging with blood, just the blood that was exuding, as if he could condense into a fierce war tiger, under the surging murderous aura, the Jingzhou army was full of momentum.

The morale of the soldiers and horses of the two sides is like a rainbow, in this spacious mansion, regardless of the fight, Cao Ang is young after all, not only is the force inferior to Wenpin, but the strength of the troops is not as good as Wenpin, and the combat effectiveness of the generals under his command is not as good as Wenpin, and the on-the-spot command is not as good as Wenpin.

Cao Jun in the siege of Wen Ping, defeated and retreated, Cao Ang was angry, three consecutive organization of fierce impact, can not break out of Wen Ping's encirclement, he himself set an example, but was also Wen Ping under a knife, blood collapse, vitality was greatly injured, if it was not for his generals to sacrifice their lives to save him, he has become a ghost under Wen Ping's knife.

In the dark night, torrential rain, and the mansion was on fire, Cao Ang's hair was scattered, and he still organized his troops and stormed violently, wanting to break out of the encirclement.

"The eldest prince, the jade seal is important, you lead five hundred elite soldiers, go through the back door, and come to block the enemy general!" A martial artist who practices the Qi realm, holding a big sword in his hand, with a soaring killing intent, and a loud voice.

"Okay, be careful!"

Cao Ang glanced around and gritted his teeth, he knew that if he didn't leave, he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, and a general like Wen Ping was not something he could deal with at all.

"Kill!"

Thousands of elite Cao troops' tactics of treating death as home, opened a gap for Cao Ang, and led hundreds of personal soldiers to kill out of the encirclement.
