Although Xue Rengui didn't react because of this, he didn't stop Zhang Fei's order, after all, in this battle, there were not a few soldiers in the Xue family army who died on the battlefield, so naturally let the soldiers in the army express the sulkness in their hearts.

The Luoyang court heard that the army that was crusading against Xue Rengui was wiped out, and Ma Teng obeyed Xue Rengui's order to send troops, and the generals Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, and Chen Gong, the military advisor sent by Xue Rengui, attacked Luoyang and besieged the city for several days. Xue Rengui also continued to divide his troops into two routes, one was the commander of Qin Qiong, and the generals were Huang Zhong and Xu Huang. On the other hand, Guan Yu, who went south to support Xuzhou, and Xue Rengui personally led Zhou Qing and his wife Liu Yinhuan to Luoyang with his eight-year-old son Xue Dingshan and eight-year-old daughter Xue Jinlian, preparing to take over the capital of the Han Dynasty.

After Luoyang besieged the city for a month, because of the lack of food and grass, and also under the contact between the surrender faction and Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui finally broke through the city defense of Luoyang and entered the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Xue Rengui was called the emperor in Luoyang, the country name Qi, and the year name: Pingzhi, the national capital Luoyang.

The Jingzhou army was also unstoppable in Yizhou, and with the help of the Yizhou surrender faction, Chengdu was also broken by Yuangai Suwen. All parts of Yizhou are being gradually recovered. And Su Dingfang in the north still has an ambiguous attitude and doesn't know what it means. He expressed his loyalty to Xue Rengui, but he refused to enter Beijing to congratulate him, but there was a rebellion in Youzhou and was being pacified.

Xue Rengui sent Luo Yi as the commander, Xi Zhicai as the military advisor, and the general Zhao Yun went to the north to assist Su Dingfang in quelling the rebellion. Xue Rengui led Ma Chao, Pang De, Chen Gong, Xu Maogong and others to the south to encircle and suppress Cao Cao. Ma Teng returned to Xiliang to sit in town, and Luo Cheng was on his way back to the northern battlefield.

At this time, a secret letter passed by Xi Zhicai to Xue Rengui also quickly caught up with Xue Rengui's army. At this time, Xi Zhicai also entered Su Dingfang's ambush circle when he knew that Su Dingfang was in ambush, and died in Huangquan.

Xi Zhicai wrote: "Weichen has known that his fate will not be long in coming, and now Su Dingfang's attitude is ambiguous, if he can't give him enough bait, I'm afraid this person won't be fooled." If we wait until Yuangai Suwen unifies the south, our army will confront it, and if Su Dingfang intervenes in it, I am afraid that the situation will be dangerous. But His Majesty has just been proclaimed emperor now, and Su Dingfang also expressed his respect, if he attacks for no reason, I am afraid that it will affect His Majesty's reputation. Now His Majesty is driving Cao Cao in person, and I have deliberately fallen into Jia Xu's scheme. Let Su Dingfang think that there is an opportunity.

The army is still under the command of General Luo Yi, and Gong Jin has been taught by a certain during this time, and with the wisdom of Gong Jin, he can understand it by himself. I am afraid that General Luo Yi will know that a certain person is dead, and he will impulsively fall for Jia Xu's plan, but the reason for a certain death is not enough for others, and I ask His Majesty to send others to help lead the army. ”

Xue Rengui also didn't care about being uncomfortable, and passed down a secret order, ordering Zhao Yun to rush to Youzhou, and if there was an emergency, he could replace Luo Yi as the commander by himself.

Cao Cao learned that Xue Rengui had gone south to drive the expedition in person, so he ordered the whole army to withdraw to Runan, fortify the wall and clear the wilderness, and stick to Runan.

Xue Rengui's army converged with Zhang Liao and related to the feather department, and besieged the city of Runan. The first day was a fierce siege.

I only heard Xue Rengui shouting: "Erlang of the Xue family's army, kill me!" ”

The Xue family's army rushed to the city of Runan in unison, and the trebuchets and crossbowmen behind also launched an offensive towards Runan City.

The loud screams and screams on the battlefield are touching. The sturdy figures of the soldiers of the Xue family army under the city rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth. This kind of shouting, infecting each other, motivating each other, and dissipating many inexplicable fears in my heart. Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, only to see the soldiers falling to the ground with arrows in a steady stream. As soon as the Xue family army boarded the city wall, they were immediately greeted by several Cao soldiers with swords, and they were outnumbered.

"Ge Laozi, get out!"

The terrible screams of the "......", the frenzied killing, and the blazing beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies angry, and the war became more and more intense.

The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the tower.

The siege battle on the first day was a tragic battle, and even if the soldiers of the Xue family army received timely treatment, more than 1,300 people spilled their blood on the battlefield. Cao's army also suffered more than 400 casualties, and spent countless items on defending the city.

Although Cao Jun has a strong psychological quality, this kind of defensive battle without any hope still makes many Cao Jun soldiers desperate. The siege lasted for three days, and the Cao army had begun to shake its morale, and many Cao soldiers had begun to secretly go out of the city and surrender. Cao Cao had no choice but to order an intensified review, and if he found a soldier who had left the city to surrender, he could be killed on the spot.

It only worked for a few days, but within a few days, the overseer had already appeared to go out of the city with the surrendered Cao soldiers to surrender or flee. Xue Rengui ordered to treat these Cao soldiers who went out of the city and surrendered well, served them with good food and drink every day, and from time to time asked them to go to the city of Runan to shout, so that the former comrades inside would go out of the city and surrender. For a while, Cao Jun's people were panicked.

Finally, after three months of siege, Cao Cao's whole person was haggard, and from time to time there were gout attacks, Cao Cao reluctantly summoned the whole army and said: "Soldiers, Cao Mou thank you for being willing to accompany Cao Mou to death in such a desperate situation." The co-lord of the world, the talented live in it, now that my Cao Cao is defeated, Xue Rengui has nothing to say, the victory and defeat have been divided, and you don't need to bury me Cao Cao, Kaicheng surrendered. ”

The major military advisors and generals beside Cao Cao just wanted to come out and express their opinions with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao waved his hand and retreated. Even Guo Jia and Cheng Yu thought it was Cao Cao's radical method at first, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to really want to surrender. However, these days, Cao Cao's white hair growth rate is simply visible to the naked eye, and this male lord who dominates the world is finally tired.

Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xiahoudun and Dian Wei and others announced their surrender to Xue Rengui on behalf of Cao Cao and Cao Jun, and Cao Cao's whereabouts are unknown. Someone admonished Xue Rengui that this might be Cao Cao's strong man who broke his wrist, and asked Xue Rengui to issue a wanted warrant to arrest Cao Cao.

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "Cao Mengde is a tyrant who is willing to gamble and lose, and now that he is tired, let him go." ”

At this time, Xue Rengui's Imperial Forest Army, which had just been established and commanded by Zhou Qing, came and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”

Xue Rengui said: "What's so alarming, you say it slowly." ”

The Forester said; "General Luo Yi was anxious to avenge the drama division, and fought with Su Dingfang and outside the city, but unexpectedly Su Dingfang was defeated and fled, General Luo Yi was fast, and he broke away from the army, and was led by Su Dingfang to a silt river, fell into it, and was killed by Su Dingfang's order to shoot with arrows, and was hit by one hundred and forty-three arrows."
