Sun Jian finally agreed, and at that moment Sun Ce asked his brother Sun Quan to lead people straight to the courtyard of the backyard lady.

When the female soldiers saw that someone wanted to break into the inner courtyard, they naturally wanted to stop it, but when Sun Quan said that this was his father's order, everyone didn't dare to move, even after Sun Shangxiang came out in person, there was no better way, so they could only argue and say, "Second brother, what are you going to do, they are just businessmen, you have the ability to deal with Zhang Zhiyuan, what kind of ability is it to kill them." ”

Facing Sun Shangxiang's questioning, Sun Quan replied: "Little sister, you don't care about this matter, this is my father's order, don't delay the family and country affairs because of your actions." Okay, get out of the way now, and don't get in the way of our arrests. ”

Sun Quan is aggressive, and his attitude has not changed in the slightest because of his sister's plea.

As soon as the words fell, there were also soldiers who surrounded Sun Shangxiang and the others, and then the other soldiers rushed into the courtyard and soon found the group of people from the Zhangjia Wine Shop who were protected.

"Who is Zhang Cheng?" One of the generals who took the lead looked at these people from the Zhangjia Wine Shop and asked.

"I am, what are you going to do?" An older-looking man replied.

"How? Nature is meant to kill. Quick, the second son has an order, kill them all, and solve them on the spot. After seeing that Zhang Cheng was found, the general was relieved, and gave an order.

When Sun Quan came, he told the general that in order to prevent long nights and dreams, the most important thing was to worry that his father would regret this decision, and he would kill him as soon as he saw the people of Zhangjia Distillery and confirmed his identity.

After a period of bloody killing, the people of Zhangjia Liquor Shop were killed by simply resisting, and then the general carried the body out and cleaned the bloodstains.

When he saw the general nodding to himself, Sun Quan pretended to be helpless and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Little sister, second brother, there is no way to do this, please understand me." ”

"Understand you, is it necessary for you to be in such a hurry? I must kill you in my courtyard, you hate. Looking at Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang said angrily.

Sun Quan also knew that he was in a bit of a hurry to do this, but he was also afraid that things would change. Now looking at Xiaomei's somewhat angry and even hateful gaze, she had to shake her head and leave.

Sun Jian killed all the people in Zhangjia Distillery, and the matter quickly spread with the help of well-intentioned people.

For this matter, Sun Shangxiang seemed to be very angry, who ignored him for a few days, but he just went out of the city to relax.

At the beginning, I was worried that something would happen to Sun Shangxiang, and as soon as she went out, Sun Jian would send someone to follow. But after a few days, I found that it was really just a pleasure, so I put her mind at ease and let her go out of the city freely.

In this way, until the fourth day, after it was determined that no one was following, Sun Shangxiang went out of the city again, but this time there was an extra man disguised as a woman in her follow. And if the powerful housekeeper is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this person is Zhang Cheng, the manager of Zhangjia Distillery in Jianye.

Zhang Cheng is not dead, this is all under the protection of Sun Shangxiang to survive.

After bringing the people from the Zhang Family Wine Shop back to the mansion, Sun Shangxiang knew that this matter would not last long, so he made the worst plan, that is, to hide Zhang Chengyu in his boudoir, because only there is the safest place.

To say that in ancient times, women's boudoirs were not accessible to everyone, and often only relatives of the opposite sex who were very close to each other. Sun Shangxiang did this, and he had already put his name aside.

It was precisely because it was placed in the boudoir that the partial general brought by Sun Quan did not dare to search, so that Zhang Cheng escaped the catastrophe. In addition, he arranged for the dead to pass off as himself, so that everyone thought he was dead.

In the suburbs outside Jianye City, Sun Shangxiang, who was sure that he was safe here, said to Zhang Cheng, who had recovered his male body: "You go, I didn't save you this time, it's my incompetence." ”

At this time, Sun Shangxiang was indeed a little angry, because she knew that if her father and brothers did this, it would be equivalent to turning her face with Zhang Chao, which made her not know how to get along with Zhang Chao in the future.

"Thank you, Miss. Your regeneration grace is remembered, and after meeting the second son, you will be truthful. It's just that with all due respect, the power of the Sun family will not be able to stop the iron hooves of the future second son, for the sake of the future Sun family, please think of a way as soon as possible. After Zhang Cheng hugged his fists and thanked him, he turned around and left.

He didn't leave before because he was worried about the brothers of the Zhangjia Wine Factory, but now that these people are dead, he has nothing to worry about, and it's time to leave.

Looking at the background of Zhang Cheng's departure, Sun Shangxiang thought with tears in her eyes, she is just a little woman, what can she do to save this situation?

...... ......

May 200 A.D.

After more than two months of preparation, the four allied forces of Cao, Yuan, Liu, and Dong began to increase their troops in Sili, Bingzhou, and Youzhou.

Among them, Huguan and Youzhou in Zhongshan County were all surrounded by Yuan Shao and Chen Bing, which restrained the strength of the Bingzhou Army. Next, the west, south, and east directions of Si Li were respectively Chen Zhi's 80,000 troops, Liu Bei's 50,000 people, and Cao Cao's 150,000 people.

In mid-May, Liu Beijun's general Guan Yu led 50,000 soldiers from Tianxi Mountain to Hongnong County, and Cao Cao personally led the army from Xinzheng to Sili, and then advanced to Yangcheng Mountain through Mi County.

For the joint attack of the princes of the four routes, Li Ru, who was in Luoyang City, only had the six legions led by Xu Rong and the original subordinates, a total of 80,000 people.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of 80,000, Li Ru was confident that he would not rashly give a counterattack, and he had been standing still in line with Zhang Chao's strategic policy of concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy's main force, and he had not heard of it while seeing the other party occupying the county all the way.

The policy of non-resistance made Cao Cao's army progress very smoothly. It also made the generals under him feel proud.

In their opinion, Zhang Chaojun is just like this, and in the face of the occupation of the city, he doesn't even have the courage to fight back, and there is nothing to fear from such an enemy. According to their opinions, they all wish they could wave their troops to kill them now, and they would subdue Luoyang first.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's reminder all the way, I'm afraid these people would have advanced for I don't know how many.

Compared with the generals below, Cao Cao's mind is indeed very sober, and the strategist Xi Zhicai around him is even more sober, and he mentioned several times that Zhang Chao is not easy to deal with, which may be the other party's plan to lure the enemy into depth. Therefore, steady and steady is the way to win.

With the reminder of Xi Zhicai and the pressure of Cao Cao's practice, the speed of the army's march has not been very fast, and every step is very solid.

On the other route, Guan Yu walked even slower with 50,000 troops.

Before he came, the military advisor Zhuge Liang had repeatedly told him that the task this time was to cooperate with Cao Cao, and never think about any military merits, as long as he could keep himself from being attacked, it would be a great achievement.

In this way, Guan Yu did not seek speed, and stopped when he entered Si Li's territory and came to the side of Hongnong County.

The pace of the coalition army's offensive is very slow, or it can also be said to be very stable, which makes Li Ru, who has been waiting for an opportunity, unable to find a suitable opportunity at all, seeing that more than ten days have passed, Cao Cao has occupied Yangcheng Mountain with a steady and steady situation, and his troops are in Gong County, the gateway of Luoyang City, he can't help but be a little anxious. Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Chao had already arrived in Luoyang with a large army.

Zhang Chao's army included 5,000 soldiers of the Zhang family, 50,000 soldiers of the 1st Army and 30,000 soldiers of some 2nd Army Corps, plus 30,000 soldiers stationed in Hanoi and 50,000 Dragon and Tiger Army there, and a total of 245,000 soldiers in the 6th Army of Li Ru guarding Luoyang. Among them, the strategists are Guo Jia and Li Ru. The generals included Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, as well as Xu Rong and others. There are also 800 trapping camps that followed, led by General Gao Shun himself.

As soon as Zhang Chao's army arrived, he entered the original palace in Luoyang and found Li Ru, and saw the sand table in front of him.

Looking at the various flags planted on the sand table, Zhang Chao smiled unexpectedly: "This Cao Apu, but he is really calm, I originally thought that they should be in Luoyang, but now they have not arrived in Gongxian County, hehe." ”

The lord could still laugh out loud at this time, and in the eyes of Guo Jia and Li Ru, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the lord still has faith, they will have the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Chao, who had laughed, pointed to Gongxian in the sand table with his hand and said: "In this case, we will set the location of the big battle here, and they all say that Cao Jun is brave, this time I want to see who is more powerful." ”

Zhang Chao's decision was to ignore the other princes and defeat Cao Cao first. As long as this person retreats, the others will not be a problem, and the encirclement will be broken without attacking.

After the order was issued, the army immediately left Luoyang and went straight to Gongxian. For a while, everyone's focus was on Gongxian County.

Zhang Chao's actions were soon learned by the secret agents sent by Cao Cao, and when he learned that Zhang Chao personally conquered and brought nearly 250,000 troops, his face showed a heavy color, and he said to Xi Zhicai on the side: "This Zhang Zhiyuan, the movement is quite fast, this is going to fight with us." ”

"Not bad. My lord, our chance has come. Xi Zhicai said excitedly after seeing the battle report.

"What an opportunity, let's hear about it." Cao Cao asked when he heard this.

"Lord, if it is only our family against Zhang Zhiyuan this time, I am afraid that the pressure will be very great, but don't we still have three helpers? And as long as we can entangle the other party and hit the opponent hard, it won't be long before the other princes see the opportunity and will definitely attack in all directions, so Zhang Zhiyuan will have to divide his troops and distract himself, so that we may drive straight into Luoyang City, if the time is right, it is not impossible for the army to enter and merge the state. ”
