Yu Ban felt that he was a tragedy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Cao Ying pacified the north, he followed Cao Ren to sit in the area of Xu Luo and guarded the south gate of the Great Wei State for half his life.

Yu Ban felt that he was useless as a hero, and not long ago, he had just got the opportunity to fight Guan Yu, but he was disturbed by the Wu army's sneak attack on Jingzhou. Now that he was transferred north, he finally thought that he could show his strengths and build an immortal honor again, but he didn't expect to be forced to a dead end by a few streams of water.

And now, when he wanted to kill a few more Han soldiers and pull on as many cushions as possible, he ran into a young Han general who was so good at martial arts.

That spear danced like a wheel, opening and closing, every move had the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming, and the powerful strength was so strong that it was forced to breathe.

In terms of pure martial arts, Yu Ban thinks that he is not ranked one among the famous generals of the Wei State, but he is not so modest that he thinks that his marksmanship is so bad that he is no more than a rising star, but in fact, under Deng Ai's overwhelming offensive, Yu Ban is gradually powerless, and his defeat is frequent.

Deng Ai learned marksmanship from Guan Yinping in private, but Yinping's marksmanship was taught by Zhao Yun, which means that Deng Ai indirectly learned a lot of marksmanship from Zhao Yun.

Although it is only a glimpse of the way, Zhao Yun's attainments in marksmanship have been perfected, even if he only learns one and a half moves, with Deng Ai's intelligence, he has actually learned a lot from it, which corroborates with his marksmanship, and within a few years, the gunsmith has reached a new level, and in recent years, it has advanced by leaps and bounds.

In this case, it is reasonable for Yu Ban to feel invincible.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 moves have passed, and the elderly Yu Forbidden moves and his physical strength have fallen into the wind, and he is already panting like a cow between the responses, but Deng Ai is breathing steadily, looking calm and relaxed.

Several ways to attack, Yu Ban's left shoulder was exposed, Deng Ai said in a low voice, and a spear pierced away. Yu Ban hurriedly used the gun to pull back, but Deng Ai's trick was extremely weird, a gun spun out quickly, and the huge rotation force easily bounced off the forbidden gun.

Burst!

The blade of the spear pierced through the armor and reached the shoulder bone.

Yu Ban only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and hurriedly pulled the enemy's gun with his hand, trying to tear the spear away from his shoulder. And Deng Ai shouted loudly, poured the power of both hands into the gun, and swung violently, and it was actually dragged off the horse, thrown out of the way, and fell heavily on the ground where the snow and blood were clouded.

Deng Ai didn't give him any respite, and stepped forward, and the gun was about to take his surname.

"Stop, stop, I'm willing to surrender!"

Just when Deng Ai was about to kill the killer, Yu Ban, who rolled to the ground, suddenly screamed and begged for mercy.

Deng Ai's spears could not stop at hand, and Yu Ban's surrender really surprised him, even if he did not know Yu Ban's identity now, but with his outstanding martial arts, it was determined that he was not an ordinary general. And such a person, who should have been martyred for Cao Wei, is now prostrating himself to the ground and asking for surrender, which is really a great irony.

"It turns out that he is also a greedy person who is afraid of death, hmph, killing you is an insult to my reputation Deng Ai."

Deng Ai spat out contemptuous words, the killing intent had disappeared, but it didn't mean that he would be let go easily, and with a flick of his wrist, he stabbed Yu Ban several times in the leg.

"Ahh

Yu Ban screamed in pain, holding the blood on his leg and hissing in pain, but he couldn't move anymore, so he could only wait for the battle to be over.

Fang Shao of the northern formation silently watched the whole battle, the process and the ending were basically beyond his expectations, the only thing that surprised him a little was that in this bad situation, there were still tens of thousands of Wei troops who did not give up resistance.

However, it didn't matter, it was dusk, all the recalcitrant Wei troops had been killed, and the battlefield in front of him had become a land of ice and snow.

The Wei army was defeated, completely defeated.

It was only at this time that Fang Shao let out a long breath, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, I have watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding", thank you, Lord Wei, ......"

Fang Shao ordered on the same day that Huang Zhong and Deng Ai led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the east, swept away East Jizhou, and then crossed the river to capture Qingzhou.

Ordered Wang Ping and Wang Jun to lead an army of 20,000 to enter Xiji Prefecture, seize Hanoi County, cross the Yellow River to the south, and attack Luoyang with Hongnong Zhang Fei's army.

At the same time, Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, Ma Tan and other generals led 50,000 main forces from Yecheng to the south, directly to take the important town of Liyang, and then crossed the river to capture Yanyu and other Central Plains. After completing the task, the soldiers and horses of the west and east quickly attacked Xuzhou to exert pressure on Wu and force it to withdraw from the siege of Jingzhou.

As for Fang Shao, he will sit in Yecheng with the rest of his troops and horses, and after cleaning up the battlefield and pacifying the people of the newly acquired land, he will lead his division south to reinforce the armies.

Fang Shao originally thought that Cao Ying might escape in this battle, but when the battle ended, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Jiang Wei had captured Cao Ying alive.

This news not only brought great excitement to Fang Shao, but also to the Han army.

That's Cao Ying, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, how many heroes and heroes have been defeated, even the former Zhaowu Emperor Liu Bei was almost cornered and died in his hands.

That once invincible hero, even Liu Bei thought that he was inferior in martial arts, and it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to defeat him, but now, he has become Fang Shao's prisoner.

Speaking from the heart, Fang Shao's heart did have a feeling of ecstasy surging at this moment.

At this time, this former capital of the Wei State, after hearing that their former emperor Cao Ying was captured, all the hearts of resistance collapsed, and for a while, all the resistance movements disappeared.

The news of Fang Shao's victory in the battle of Yecheng, the generals' requests for merit, and the good news of the capture of Cao Ying, were all sent to Chang'an by fast horse.

While waiting for the imperial court to deal with Cao Ying's edict, Fang Shao did not treat Cao Ying badly, Cao Ying was locked in a luxurious "cell", and there was a special person to serve him with good food and drink every day, and this kind of treatment could be regarded as Fang Shao's respect for a respectable opponent.

Cao Ying's mood in the cell was naturally not much better, the only thing he wanted to do was to meet Fang Shao, a half-lifelong enemy, and after several refusals, Fang Shao decided to meet Cao Ying.

In the early morning, Fang Shao finally met this legendary figure face to face, although he was now a prisoner of the stairs, he still exuded a chilling domineering spirit.

"I heard that Meng Degong wants to see me." Facing this defeated subordinate, Fang Shao smiled calmly.

Cao Ying raised his head, his eagle-like gaze shot directly at Fang Shao, he glanced up and down, his eyes showed a little surprise, as if to say: How can the person who defeated me turn out to be such a Confucian guy, how is this possible?

"When you were in Chibi, you dedicated the serial plan to Zhou Yu?" Cao Ying suddenly asked.

"That's right, it's me."

"The battle of Longxi, the surprise attack on Tongguan, is also your strategy?"

"Hehe, that's right."

"On the bank of the Luoshui River, the plan to kill Xiahou Miaocai, the battle of Nanyang, the surprise attack on Wancheng, the battle of Pingyang, the plan to lure the enemy...... Are all these from you? ”

Cao Ying listed many examples of battles that made him frustrated, as if to seek an answer.

Fang Shao was stunned, and said to himself: "It turns out that there are so many, if you don't mention it, I can't remember it." ”

Cao Ying finally confirmed now that since the Battle of Chibi, he has allowed himself to go from extreme prosperity to decline, and even ended up like this, and the person who "made great contributions" is the Confucian in front of him.

At this moment, his heart was filled with both infinite disappointment and deep shock.

After a long time, he sighed weakly: "Amazing, amazing, really amazing." ”

Cao Ying said three great things in a row, which can be regarded as an acknowledgment of Fang Shao's strength, and it is also the highest evaluation of the old enemy in front of him.

Seeing Cao Ying's lonely appearance, Fang Shao suddenly had a whimsical idea and said with a smile: "Cao Mengde, in fact, you don't have to be so lonely, the reason why you can end up like this is actually because I am not a person of this era." ”

This sentence made Cao Yingdun look dazed, and with the limitations of his thinking, he couldn't figure out what Fang Shao's last sentence meant.

For so many years, Fang Shao had never told anyone about his true life experience, and even if he did, no one would believe that such a peerless secret was kept in his heart, accumulated over the years, like a big stone crushed in his heart.

Now, when Fang Shao told this secret to his worst enemy, the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he was dripping with unspeakable joy.

"Haha-"

Fang Shao laughed and turned to leave, leaving only Cao Ying, who was at a loss, there.

After a while, the blankness on Cao Ying's face disappeared, he snorted coldly, and said to himself: "I thought he was a character, but I didn't expect to fool me with such nonsense, it seems that he is just a lucky villain." ”

………… Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Cao Zhen's eyes were dull as he stared at the snowflakes in front of the case, and his eyebrows revealed helplessness, indignation, and despair.

Yecheng was defeated, 100,000 main forces were gone, Emperor Cao Ying was also captured by the Han State, the Han army on the eastern front had entered Qingzhou, where it passed, the prefectures and counties looked at the wind and fell, the middle road Liyang was lost, the Han army was close to Xudu, Sima Yi on the western front beheaded Hanoi Taishou, and surrendered to the Han State with a county, Luoyang faced a three-sided attack, and it was only a matter of time before it fell...... The entire Great Wei Empire, at the end of this winter, was both unexpected and unexpectedly fell into a state of collapse.

Now, only he Cao Zhenshang has 10,000 elite soldiers, and he has not yet been threatened by the land of Xuzhou, but Cao Zhen understands that the general trend of Wei has gone, and his own demise is a matter of time.

The building will fall, what can be done alone?

Could it be that my ultimate fate is destined to be a martyr for the Empire?

No, I am not reconciled, the hateful Han Kingdom, I must not die at the hands of you, I want revenge!

Suddenly, his brows were full of sorrow, Cao Zhen was angry at the case, his expression was full of coldness, he looked around at the generals who were anxiously waiting for him to make a decision in front of the case, and resolutely said: "The general has decided to return to Wu with Xuzhou, and take revenge for Great Wei by the hand of Wu State!" ”
