Chapter 355: Changing the Pattern
When the barbarian was about to abandon Jingzhou and march north, preparing to find some states with few rivers to regain his strength, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Cao Mengde and others were also discussing the matter.
Dong Zhuo's questioning and Dong Zhuo's withdrawal made these originally confident heroes dumbfounded, and they began to face up to the problem that they had been subconsciously ignoring all along, that is, once the demon snake escaped, how to face the demon snake's fierce anger.
It is impossible for the coalition forces to stay all the time, after all, they have to go back to their own homes, and none of these heroes have the confidence to resist the demon snake alone, not to mention that the demon snake will also carry out a sneak attack.
When the barbarian marshal was deliberating, the news spread from time to time, and when he heard that even the most powerful barbarian marshal in the coalition army was not ready to go to Jingzhou, Yuan Shao and the others could only be silent, and then they had a headache.
Xiangyang City really didn't dare to ask for it, even if it was captured by the coalition forces, because Xiangyang City would definitely be the place that the demon snake paid the most attention to in the future, whoever dared to occupy this place, then he would face the attack of the demon snake first, even the barbarians did not have the confidence to defend Xiangyang, and others naturally had no confidence.
So, let's withdraw and give Jingzhou to the demon snake, or so to speak, as long as there is a big river flowing through, give it to the demon snake, Lao Tzu don't want it, right? Anyway, there are many big cities without rivers.
To the north, after crossing the Yellow River in the north, there is a large area without a river, which is where the Xiongnu are, this is a strong nomadic people, but no matter how strong the Xiongnu are, can they compare to the demon snake? The heroes didn't believe it at all.
Attack the Huns? After thinking about it carefully, the heroes really had some experience, in the past, the reason why the Huns were strong was because of the depth of the grassland over there, and it was not easy to supply heavy loads, but now, with cement, as long as the cement road is paved. The transportation of baggage is relatively easy to solve, by the way, the cavalry of the Huns is also very strong, but now that the Central Plains has bicycles, although there is no way to compare with the cavalry, but at least the mobility is not too inferior to the Huns.
Consider coming. Thinking about it, in the end, the heroes thought that compared with the demon snake, the Huns could actually be regarded as a soft persimmon, as long as the Huns were defeated, and the city was built in the vast grassland, even if the demon snake wanted to attack, it was not as easy as the Central Plains.
Subsequently, the group of heroes thought of another benefit. That is, the territory of the Xiongnu is indeed very wide, which can accommodate many people, as long as the heroes go to a few and form a trend with each other, they will definitely make the demon snake have some scruples.
So, Yuan Shao and others found the barbarian commander again and discussed the attack on the Xiongnu, which coincided with the barbarian handsome.
"But the demon snake is powerful. Therefore, we must not let the demon snake have a large population, and we need to move the population of each state to the north. In this way, at least within a hundred years, the power of the demon snake will not overturn. ”
"Yes." Yuan Shao and others thought so.
After the discussion, the coalition forces still attacked Xiangyang City, although Xiangyang City can not be wanted, but the remaining population of Xiangyang City still has to be wanted. In addition, the coalition forces sent people to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to prepare to relocate the populations of these two states, and as for Yuzhou and Jizhou, these populations will also be moved. But it doesn't have to be too stressful
Lin Bei didn't know that the situation of the coalition forces had taken a sharp turn for the worse, but he felt that the attack of the coalition forces was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning, and Lin Bei didn't think much about it.
At this time, more than half of the more than 150,000 common people who followed Lin Bei had crossed the river, except for the first time when a water ghost attacked under the river, crossing the river has always been smooth, Kong Ming and others thought that the coalition army knew that they were invincible, so they didn't think much about it.
By this time, it was the middle of May.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Bei went to the wharf in the east of the city and summoned Bian Ji, Kong Ming and others to discuss the matter.
"My lord, now more than 150,000 people have crossed most of the river, and in one day at most, they will all be able to cross the river."
Lin Bei nodded, "I'm not worried about crossing the river, the offensive of the coalition forces has slowed down in the past two days, I'm only worried about whether they have conspiracies, Shi Yuan, there is news from the sergeants in the upper and lower reaches of the Fan River." ”
In order to prevent the coalition forces from going around the front or back to block the roads of the common people, Pang Tong ordered the sergeants of the river god to patrol many places on the Fanjiang River that were easy to cross, and Lin Bei wanted to know if the coalition troops had crossed the river from these places.
Pang Tong shook his head: "There is no military information. ”
"And what about the coalition forces?" Lin Bei was at a loss, there were not many soldiers in the river gods, so some information could not be obtained at all.
"Anyway, my lord, it's better to withdraw first." Kong Ming said.
Lin Bei nodded, looked at everyone one last time, and said in a deep voice: "In addition to these things, I asked everyone to come this time, and I also want to tell you something." ”
Everyone looked at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei looked at Bian Ji: "Master, do you remember when I molted last year?" ”
Bian Ji thought about it and was suddenly shocked: "Adult, should adult?"
Every time Lin Bei molts is a big thing, and now every molt is becoming more and more difficult, but now is the time when Lin Bei needs to lead, if Lin Bei molts, it will really be worse in today's situation.
Lin Bei shook his head: "I don't feel any signs of molting now, I just said it in advance." ”
Bian Ji let out a sigh of relief, but he still felt that it was very tricky, once he left Xiangyang and the coalition army pursued, Lin Bei molted and no one could stop the coalition army from crossing the river, and then the river god army would not be able to resist the coalition army at all, thinking of this consequence, Bian Ji felt that the sky was about to fall.
Because Lin Bei could shed his skin at any time, Kong Ming and the others asked the common people to step up their crossing of the river.
The next day, all the 150,000 commoners finally crossed the Fanjiang River, Kong Ming and others also withdrew, and Xiangyang City except for Lin Bei was Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong reconvened some people to become temporary sergeants, but with the evacuation of the Heshen Army and 150,000 people, the people of Xiangyang who remained in the north of the city were a little chaotic, and some of the chaotic people took the opportunity to burn and loot, Huang Zhong was not polite to these people, Huang Zhong was strong in martial arts, and he was extremely decisive in doing things, and killed nearly 100 chaotic people who took the opportunity to make trouble in one day, and finally controlled the situation.
In the evening of this day, the rumbling sound came, but it was the ten-zhang high city wall of Xiangyang that was finally knocked down by the coalition forces, and after this corner was knocked down, the city wall of Xiangyang was like dominoes, and it continued to collapse.
Soon, the coalition forces knocked out a large gap of nearly 100 meters in the high wall in the west of the city, and the city of Xiangyang was broken.
Lin Bei had already retreated, watching the spearmen of the coalition army slowly enter Xiangyang City from a distance, and then the surrounding houses collapsed, paving the entire street.
"My lord, Xiangyang City is broken." Huang Zhong stood beside Lin Bei and said a little gloomily.
Lin Bei looked at the collapsed city wall, and was also a little surprised: "Well, the city is broken." ”
"It's time for you to leave Xiangyang."
Lin Bei nodded, but said, "Before leaving, the gods have to see them." ”
Then, Lin Bei raised his voice and shouted: "Vulture bone, where is Yuan Shao?" ”
After a long time, a handsome laughter came from afar: "Now that Xiangyang City has been broken, the Dragon King has not fled, when do you want to stay?" ”
At this time, the barbarian still wanted to work hard to provoke Lin Bei, hoping that Lin Beizhong's method of agitation would not escape.
Lin Bei said with a smile: "If this god wants to leave, who can stop you?" However, before the god left, there was still a regret. ”
"What's the regret?" Yuan Shao shouted.
"Liu Xuande, where is Cao Mengde?"
The two military flags shook a little, Liu Bei and Cao Cao appeared in Lin Bei's sight from afar in the escort of the sergeants, Liu Bei arched his hand towards Lin Bei from afar, Cao Mengde looked at Lin Bei coldly, Lin Bei wanted to kill him last time, although Cao Cao was a hero, but he didn't want to talk more with a demon snake.
Lin Bei had already seen Cao Cao last time, so he just glanced at it, and he was looking at Liu Bei at the moment.
Liu Bei is known as Liu Da'er, but as far as Lin Bei saw, in fact, Liu Bei's ears are not big, and there are records in the history books that Liu Bei's hands are longer than his knees, and Lin Bei has not seen it, but Liu Bei's face is upright, his forehead is broad, and his eyes are shining.
It was not the first time Liu Bei had seen Lin Bei, but in the face of Lin Bei's lightning-like eyes, Liu Bei was still quite frightened, and at the same time, he was also quite impressed, with his own strength, he blocked the coalition army for nearly two months, even if Xiangyang City was broken, Liu Bei was not the slightest happy, because they were now discussing the matter of moving north, so in count, the demon snake in front of him was the winner.
"Sun Ce, where is Liu Biao?"
Sun Ce and Liu Biao also appeared far away in front of the battle, Sun Ce is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, but he has a long body and a jade body, a tiger's back and an ape waist, Liu Biao has a serious illness, so his face is thin, these two people look at Lin Bei's eyes very wrong, Sun Ce is because his father was killed by Lin Bei, and Liu Biao needless to say, this is a sad guy, and then, Lin Bei asked Dong Zhuo, Liu Xuan, Liu Yan and others to come, these people went forward, and they all arched their hands towards Lin Bei, only Dong Zhuo was not there, and Lin Bei did not know that Dong Zhuo had left.
In the end, Lin Bei kept these people in his heart one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Today's breaking of the city is a shame of the gods, and he will definitely come to Yixue to be ashamed, you and the head of the other items must be kept for the gods, don't be taken off by others." ”
Sun Ce is known as the little overlord and has a bad temper, and Dian Wei and Xu Zhu around Cao Mengde are also the kind of people with a hot temper, and Zhang Fei is also this kind of person, but in the face of Lin Bei's bold words, no one dares to stand up and scold Lin Bei.
Huang Zhong watched from afar, only feeling fascinated, the adult is really a god, so powerful, who else can compare?
Then, Lin Bei smiled, slowly turned around, and walked towards the east dock of Xiangyang City, and no one in the coalition army dared to stop, allowing Lin Bei to leave, not only that, but everyone's hearts were relieved: this demon snake finally left.
From the issuance of the edict and the edict to the destruction of Xiangyang City, a total of more than two months, the entire Han region is paying attention to this war, people who do not understand the inside story are happy when they hear that the demon snake has finally been driven away, but the candidates who know the inside story are bitter in their hearts, because of this war, they are the losers, and the demon snake is the winner.
This is a war that changed the pattern of China. (To be continued......)
