Chapter 601: The Uninvited Guest (Commemorating Breakthrough Chapter 600)
The screams of the civil officials and the children of the clan came, and Zhang Liao, the head of the five sons, frowned, "How can the soldiers be like this? Is there no military law? ”
"Hmph." A cold snort came, it was the third prince Cao Zhang: "Good killing, these children of the clan are still in the way at this time, and they are impatient." ”
Cao Zhang's nature is resolute, but he doesn't care about any clan, and even never looks down on the clan who play tricks and the civil officials who play tricks, at this time Cao's army was defeated, these people actually blocked the city gate, and blocked their father inside.
Cao Zhang not only did not stop the soldiers from killing, but shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone, those who are not soldiers will immediately retreat into the city, and when the soldiers leave the city, they will go out of the city again, and anyone in the whole army can be killed if they dare to disobey." ”
"Childe?" Zhang Liao shouted, Zhang Liao couldn't get used to the clan, but he knew that he couldn't offend the clan.
"Lots of nonsense." Cao Zhang ignored Zhang Liao at all, and in order to show his determination, he raised his bow and arrow, and an arrow shot into a carriage from a small window, and a miserable scream came from inside.
"Sir, sir."
Gongzi Cao Zhangdu has killed people, and the other soldiers no longer have scruples, if they want to live at this time, it depends on who has a weapon in their hands, and the east city gate was immediately filled with bloody screams.
Those civilian officials, who are usually dignified and sanctimonious, are extremely disdainful of generals and soldiers, as if those who don't know how to read are inferior, and then they realize that their pen can't stop an ordinary soldier's spear.
In addition to Xun Yu and Xun You's key protected courtiers, the rest of the small civil officials were killed in large numbers.
Those clans are even more shocked, the civil officials are just playing with the pen, these clans are real energy. Manpower. Financial resources. Appeal, who does not have a few big officials or generals in a family, because of the inspection system, the officialdom is monopolized by the clan, and the children of these clans are acting as officials.
It can be said that the strength of a hundred-year-old clan is extremely terrifying, not to mention soldiers on weekdays, it is a general who offends a certain clan. still can't finish eating and walking, even if Cao Cao is not completely partial to the Shi clan, the children of the Shi clan are still walking sideways on the street.
No poor family or common people would dare to provoke these people, because if you offend a gentleman, you will be against the entire family, and you will not know how to die.
But these people, whom no one dared to offend before, were now massacred by ordinary soldiers, and many so-called clan elders and elders were hacked to death with knives. Rivers of blood.
Cao Zhang took the lead in killing, and finally chased after Zhao Yun. Escorted Cao Cao out of the city gate.
As soon as Cao Jun ran out of the five-mile road, the Sichuan soldiers who came to blockade Dongcheng finally arrived, and they and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao Wang were both inside and outside, blocking more than 100,000 people at the East City Gate.
The civil officials, clansmen, soldiers, and family members inside were all captured.
Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying led the army into Xuchang City.
This time, Cao Cao really lost a handful of rice, hesitating that Xuchang fell too quickly, and Cao Jun didn't have time to take anything away, except for the very few clever clans who ran away before, the rest of the clan's children were all trapped in the city, and there were a large number of officials from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the imperial court.
In addition, there are a lot of ordnance materials, intact city walls, complete palaces, although Cao Cao has no food, but this time from the family still got a lot of donations, all of which were collected by the Sichuan army.
The Sichuan army almost did not fight, capturing more than 30,000 Cao troops and more than 10,000 family members, and the entire Xuchang was completely included in the Sichuan army.
"Immediately control the city tightly, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wang Shuangxifengchi and others led the cavalry to pursue Cao Cao, this time this old thief must not be allowed to escape." Liu Zhang ordered in a deep voice.
Cao Cao's jurisdiction also has Yanzhou, half of Yuzhou, the land of Heluo, half of Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Zhou, the territory is still vast, the big snake does not die, it will suffer, if Cao Cao is hunted down, Liu Zhang is sure that Cao Cao will fall apart.
Huang Yueying nodded, and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, this time we must order Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to pursue with all their might, if we can't kill Cao Cao, our grain and grass may not be able to support it, our army has been fighting continuously for a year and a half, although we have gained a lot, but we must not be able to support the big war anymore." ”
"We can't support it, can Cao Jun support it?" Liu Zhang asked. The battle of Guanzhong exhausted Cao Cao's grain and grass, and Cao's army should have no grain and grass at this time.
"I'm afraid it can really be supported, didn't the lord see Xuchang's granary?"
Liu Zhang suddenly understood that the grain and grass in Xuchang were donated by the Shi clan, and Cao Cao has now received the full support of the Shi clan, so that not only the problem of grain and grass can be solved, but also can even rise again.
Liu Zhang realized the importance of chasing Cao Cao, and said to Huang Yueying: "Yueying, I plan to pursue Cao Cao personally, and you lead the army to hold back." ”
"What? The lord wants to chase after him personally, what if there is an accident? Huang Yueying exclaimed.
Liu Zhang said lightly: "Does Yueying think I'm still afraid of accidents now?" "If Cao Cao can't be pursued and killed, and the Sichuan army can't continue with food and grass, then the Sichuan army can't attack anymore.
In other words, even if Xuchang is attacked, a stalemate will still be formed, and it is very important to pursue Cao Cao.
Huang Yueying listened to Liu Zhang's words, her expression was gloomy, but it was only a matter of a moment, and she immediately returned to normal: "Lord, then you go to pursue, but Yueying can't be postponed, the situation in Jingzhou is critical, I'm afraid that Fazheng's Baichuan has been broken, I must immediately lead the army south, the people of Jingzhou are ours, take advantage of the Jiangdong Army's unstable foothold, uproot, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”
Liu Zhang nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "What about the queen?" ”
Liu Zhang didn't know about Huzi coming to save Fu Shou, but even if he was killed by Cao Cao, there should be a corpse, could it be that he was taken away again, at this time, Huang Yueying saw that Liu Zhang was a little anxious, and she didn't like it, so she still told her about sending Huzi to save people.
When Huang Yueying checked the city defense of Xuchang, she found that there was a family of the family, a big family like the Fu family, and a big family like the Fu family would definitely send a family member, and the defense in the house was lax, and with the martial arts of the tiger, he should be able to rescue people.
But now Huzi didn't bring Fu Shou, Huang Yueying frowned, could it be that she was wrong, if the Fu family was really well defended, and Huzi forcibly entered, no matter how high the martial arts were, it would be more auspicious.
For Fu Shou, Huang Yueying cares more about Huzi in her heart, "I said that you should be safe first, and save people second, if you die, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?" ”
Huzi is a playmate who grew up with Huang Yueying since childhood, and the most admired is Huang Yueying, no matter what Huang Yueying does, Huzi will follow, in Huang Yueying's heart, Huzi is not a subordinate, but his own friend, if Huzi has any accidents, Huang Yueying really can't forgive herself.
But immediately Huang Yueying knew that her worries were superfluous, Huzi had already walked in, and there were no scars on his body at all, but the back was empty, and no one came to report that the queen had come in.
Huang Yueying was worried at first, but when she saw Huzi coming in cleanly, she was angry all of a sudden, could it be that this guy really put safety first, and he didn't try his best to save people at all? Outrageous.
Huang Yueying stepped forward and grabbed Huzi's ear: "Why did you come back alone, the queen mother?" ”
Liu Zhang also looked at Huzi nervously, and Huzi hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, I rescued the queen, but the queen saw the horse of the Son of Heaven and chased after her, I couldn't persuade her, so I came back by myself." ”
Liu Zhang's brows sank, is Fu Shou crazy? What are you doing with it? Even if you want to go back to your husband, what's the use of going back at this time? The strategy of internal and external cooperation was exposed, and it also caused the defeat of Cao's army and the fall of Xuchang, will Cao Cao let Fu Shou go?
Don't look at Fu Shou as the queen, Cao Cao wants to kill someone, it's no different from pinching an ant to death.
It's just that Liu Zhang didn't know that Fu Shou just wanted to go back to see Liu Xie, and after seeing him, in Fu Shou's heart, everything was over.
Liu Zhang led the elite cavalry to personally pursue Cao Cao, Liu Zhang wanted to enjoy the majesty of Cao Cao in history from Xinye to Liu Bei to the Yangtze River, that time Cao Cao said that he wanted to eliminate a hero, and the fighter was hard to find, so he personally led the army to pursue.
Then treat him with the treatment of a hero.
Liu Zhang went out of Xuchang, Huang Yueying led the army to Jingzhou, the Sichuan army grain and grass can no longer support large-scale mobilization, not to mention that there are too many Xuchang clans, or Cao Cao's lair, in order to prevent changes, a large number of troops must be left to guard, Huang Yueying only led 50,000 troops to the south.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su added up to 60,000 soldiers and horses, if they broke through Fazheng, they would occupy a defensive position, and it stands to reason that 50,000 people would not be able to break through the defense of 60,000 people.
But is it Huang Yueying's trust, Huang Yueying has governed Jingzhou for more than a year, Fan Lixiang has been in power for so long, what is the people's will Huang Yueying knows, not to mention ordinary people, even the big families of the Huang family, after tasting the taste of money, they also support the Sichuan army.
With the people's hearts in hand, Huang Yueying felt that her 50,000 people could not defeat Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and that could only be her own incompetence.
…………
Jingzhou Fazheng has not been eliminated yet, and it was originally necessary to defend on both sides, and it was difficult to face Zhou Yu and Lu Su at the same time, but Zhou Yu's 40,000 people could not let go of the attack.
If nothing else, because of the instability of the people of Jiangling, the grain, grass, and logistics of the Jiangdong Army were greatly threatened, and Zhou Yu had to divide troops to protect them, and the pressure on the southern defense line of Fazheng was not great.
However, with the Hangu Pass being broken by the Sichuan army, Zhou Yu was anxious, and originally wanted to swallow Jingzhou by himself, so he had to ask Jiangdong for help, Jiangdong had no infantry army, but there were still many family members, a month ago, the Jiangdong family organized a team of 10,000 people free of charge, divided into several batches into Jiangling.
On the one hand, it is to defend the city, and on the other hand, it is to protect the baggage and dredge the grain road, so that Zhou Yu has no worries, and he and Lu Su stepped up the attack on Fazheng.
After the Jiangdong Army has been transferred and trained, its combat strength is very strong, and under the front and rear attacks, Baichuan is in a precarious position, and it will fall in a few days, and Huang Yueying will not be able to rescue Fazheng in time no matter what.
However, half a month ago, on the vast river outside Jianye City, a group of uninvited guests came. (To be continued......)
