Chapter 504, another three years

"Lord, Nanjun is lost, Xiangyang Cai Mao surrenders, this Jiangling must not stay for a long time, sooner or later it will not be saved, it is better for us to withdraw our troops." Yi Yuan picked up Liu Biao and hurriedly persuaded.

All the civil and military officers hurriedly followed and persuaded each other, Nanjun was a stone's throw away from Jiangling, Nanjun couldn't hold it, and no one in Jiangling reported hope.

Liu Biao was very sad, couldn't stop hanging his head and weeping, one was to lose the talent of Kuai Yue, and the other was to feel sorry for Nanjun, now Jingxiang, Changsha, Wuling, Nanjun, Xiangyang are all in the hands of the enemy, how can Liu Biao not be sad and sad, but the current situation is urgent, Liu Biao had to listen to the persuasion of the civil and military forces and hurriedly led his troops to leave Jiangling and move to Nanyang.

Liu Bei's troops were defeated in Nanjun, and under the cover of everyone's desperate death, 20,000 soldiers were killed by Xu Feng and Sun Ce, and only escaped from the 2,000 remnants, all the way north, Liu Bei went straight to the direction of Xiangyang.

Xu Feng then gave chase, on this day, Liu Bei led his troops to Dangyang, a river in front of him blocked everyone's retreat, and a small bridge on a horizontal gun immediately blocked everyone's retreat.

This person has a leopard head and eyes, swallow-jawed tiger whiskers, a black horse under his crotch, and eight spears in his hands, majestic and murderous, it is the three generals Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide.

Zhang Fei led hundreds of remnants of the army and did not go to Nanjun, but led the troops to Dangyang with an open mind, and took the opportunity to block the return of Liu Bei and others.

"Hmmm... Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are here, which one dares to come forward and fight to the death with the three generals of your family? Seeing Liu Bei and the others approaching, Zhang Fei pointed his spear at Liu Bei and shouted loudly.

The flowing water under the bridge is surging, the momentum is rushing, Zhang Fei is blocking with a gun on the bridge, the momentum is extraordinary, and Liu Bei and the others are nervous like a bowstring. was cut off by Zhang Fei's voice, and he was suddenly frightened. Soul flying.

"Lord, look..."Chen Zhi rode his horse to Liu Bei's approach. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the mountains and forests behind Zhang Fei, Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that in the mountains and forests opposite, there were many shadows and dust, and he could faintly see the shadows of many yellow turban flags, and even heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping.

"Oh no, there must be an ambush here." Liu Bei shouted and hurriedly turned the horse's head. turned around and ran, but, not long after running, they were chased by Xu Feng and others' pursuers, Liu Bei and others hurriedly responded to the battle, and once again lost thousands of remnants, Liu Bei had no intention of fighting, so he had to take the remnants of the army to flee to Maicheng.

This wheat city is but a small earthen city, with low walls and low walls. Not only are the few people pitiful, but the draft is very difficult, hundreds of people can only rely on a small well to survive, Liu Bei led hundreds of remnants of the army to come. People eat horses and feed them, which suddenly increases the burden on the people, and one well simply cannot supply so many people. Many people are tired and hungry and looking for something to eat. How can there be?

"Report, Xu Feng's army is less than fifty miles away from here."

"Bang dang..."Liu Bei's frightened hand shook. The basin of drinking water suddenly fell to the ground.

"Assemble, hurry up and leave Wheat City." A small earthen city, which could not resist Xu Feng's army at all, Liu Bei hurriedly got up from the ground with a grunt, turned over his horse, and ran out of the city first, although he had not eaten or drunk for a day, the strength to escape was not weak at all.

At the same time that Xu Feng was chasing Liu Bei, Sun Ce's army captured Jiangling without blood, and Zhou Yu and Ganning went down the river, passing all the way and capturing several fortified cities in a row.

Hearing that the Cai family surrendered and rebelled in Xiangyang, Xu Feng was very happy, and immediately united with Cai Mao's men and horses to intercept Liu Bei before and after.

"Lord, we can't chase anymore?" Knowing that Liu Bei and Liu Biao had fled to Nanyang, Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded Xu Feng.

"Fengxiao, why don't you chase it?"

Guo Jiadao, "As long as we wait step by step and bring all Liu Biao's Jingxiang under our command, sooner or later Liu Biao and Liu Bei will definitely have no place to stay, so why rush for a while." ”

Xu Feng nodded, understanding what Guo Jia meant, the top priority at the moment is to seize the territory, after all, Sun Ce's men have already begun to act.

To make a long story short, after three years, Sun Ce has been triumphant all the way, like a bamboo, not only stabilizing Changsha, but also Lingling, Guiyang, Jiangxia, all of which have been included in his command.

Xu Feng occupied Wuling, Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang, Runan and other places, and Nanzhong was completely wiped out under the fierce offensive of Xu Huang and Zhang He, and finally Xu Feng gathered heavy troops and launched an attack on Nanyang, the last territory of Jingzhou.

At this time, Liu Biao was already seriously ill, only a breath of residual breath remained, in just three years, the land of Jingzhou was divided by Xu Feng and Sun Ce, how could Liu Biao be willing, coupled with the heavy blows of successive defeats, on the day when Xu Feng's 100,000 army besieged Nanyang, Liu Biao vomited three mouthfuls of blood and died on the spot.

Liu Bei just held on for five days, then hastily withdrew his troops and fled all the way, and finally the soldiers were killed and wounded, and only a few people were hidden in the deep wilderness and mountains, and there was no trace of them.

"What? Liu Bei actually ran away again? Xu Feng was almost angry, this guy has repeatedly escaped from his hands, and his luck is really outrageous.

However, just occupied the land of Jingzhou, many things need to be dealt with, and the relationship with Jiangdong is also in the slightest, Xu Feng has to guard, immediately Xu Feng sent the general Zhang Liao to sit in Jingzhou, Shamoke to sit in Wuling, Xu Huang to guard Ba County, Ganning Cai Mao to guard Jiangling, and the rest of the people returned to Yizhou to rest temporarily.

"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are so terrible calculations, lord, we have suffered a lot this time." As soon as he returned to Qiqi, Guo Jia hurried to Xu Feng's mansion.

Xu Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fist fiercely, "Zhou Yu is indeed very cunning, they are sitting south of the Yangtze River, even if Cao Cao's army comes to attack, they can also use the danger of the Yangtze River to keep the enemy out, and we have to face Cao Cao's male soldiers first." ”

Guo Jia smiled and persuaded, "Lord, everything is gained and lost, Jingxiang is all in the Nanyang area of Xiangyang South County, where not only the fields are fertile, the fertile fields are thousands of hectares, the towns are also extremely prosperous, they are all important towns with solid assets, which are much stronger than Lingling and other places, and the Jiangdong soldiers under Sun Ce are not good at land warfare, so they will defend the south bank of the Yangtze River and not fight with the lord." ”

"Sun Ce is very self-aware, even if he fights, if he really wants to give him these places, he can't stop Cao Cao's male soldiers from attacking in the future, he wants to use me as a shield, how can he guess my plan?" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a few meaningful smiles.

Guo Jia also nodded and smiled, "Naturally." General Zhang Yan has already taken the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, echoing the Lord Justice from afar. Whether it is to attack Yuzhou and Jizhou in the future, or to attack Hanzhong, there is no disadvantage, so even if he knows that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are cunning, Fengxiao did not stop the lord. ”

Xu Feng and Sun Ce divided Jingxiang equally, Zhang Yan captured Guanzhong, and Cao Cao did not show weakness, and under Chen Deng's internal and external cooperation, he had also captured Xuzhou. Tao Qian's family was killed all over the house, and even the 50,000 people in Xuzhou were not spared, all of them were given to Cao Song as funeral goods, Cao Cao kept going, and continued to enter Beihai through Xuzhou, and Kong Rong in Beihai surrendered with his family.

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu united and completely divided the territory of Youzhou, and Liu Yu was killed. Most of the martial arts under the tent were surrendered to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's prestige was shocked, with no less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers and no less than 100 generals, and he got the jade seal sent by Xu Feng. Yuan Shu's ambition was immediately exposed, and he directly abolished Emperor Xian and ascended the throne in Yecheng in July 196 AD.

Yuan Shu was called the emperor. immediately annoyed Cao Cao, and Cao Cao swore to raise troops in Yanzhou. To crusade against Yuan Shu, he wanted to unite the rest of the princes. In today's world, except for the merger of Lu Bu and Yuan Shumei, the relationship is very close, Sun Ce Jiangdong is undecided, Liu Yao Yangzhou is not guaranteed, Liu Bei has no trace, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are even more cowered in Xichuan, who will respond to Cao Cao's call?

The most embarrassing situation appeared, Cao Cao shouted slogans, but no one sent troops to help.

"Rank, how should this be?" Cao Cao gathered all the civil and military forces in one place, his brows were tightly locked, his face was gloomy, Yuan Shu called the emperor, this is a blatant usurpation, more arrogant than Xu Feng, at least Xu Feng has no intention of becoming the emperor at present. As a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu was favored by the emperor and was the descendant of the third prince of the fourth dynasty, and his accession to the throne was completely different from Xu Feng, which was almost unforgivable.

"The lord, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, are all cowering in Xichuan, even if they can send troops to help, they don't dare to send troops?" Xun Yu sighed and said.

"Why is that?"

"Whoever sends troops will be the one who dies, and Xu Feng will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity." Xun Yu smiled bitterly.

"Jiangdong Sun Ce's foundation is not stable, and he will not come to help, and Xiliang Ma Chao is thousands of miles away, so I am afraid he will not be able to support the lord." Cheng Yu also got up and said.

"It's... This... This..."Cao Cao was trembling angrily, did he really want to be alone to shake Yuan Shu, you must know that there is a lying Lu Bu lying next to Yuan Shu.

If you don't crusade, will you let Yuan Shu claim the emperor and ignore it? What's more, the two families are a stone's throw away, Cao Cao wants to dominate Huaxia, and sooner or later he will have to face Yuan Shu, and he can't hide from it, so he can't go south to attack Xu Feng now.

"Lord, Yuan Shu is not to worry, why should the lord worry?" Hu Zhao twisted his hair and smiled, and suddenly got up and smiled.

"Mr. Kong Ming, now we have only 100,000 soldiers under our command, and Yuan Shuxiong has no less than 700,000 soldiers, hundreds of generals, and Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, all of which are vast fields, and they can be described as soldiers with enough food, how to resist?"

Hu Zhao smiled and said, "Lu Bu, seeing the profit and forgetting the righteousness, it is a jackal, the lord only needs to send a good argument to promise heavy benefits, and know the benefits, Lu Bu will naturally not send troops to help, the lord must understand that Yuan Shu is just using Lu Bu, and sooner or later he will annex the state and seize his territory." ”

"Even if it is really as Mr. expected, Yuan Shu alone, Cao Mou is also powerless." Although Cao Cao is eloquent, after all, there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, not to mention full certainty, Cao Cao is not sure of fifty percent.

Hu Zhao smiled slightly, walked a few steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, and saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, so he said, "Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows it." Han Zu is only outwitted; Although Xiang Yu is a bird, he will eventually become a bird. Kong Ming stole the material, there were five defeats in the technique, and there were five victories in the public, although the soldiers were invincible, they could not do anything. There are many ceremonies, and the public body is natural, and this way is better than one. The technique is reversed, and the public is obedient to the world, and this righteousness is better than two. Because of the wealth of the world, the high discussion is to collect the reputation, the good words of the scholar decorate the outsider more to return to it, the public to treat people with the heart, to push the sincerity and act, not for the false beauty, to thrift, and the meritorious person is not stingy, the loyalty of the scholar is far-sighted and the real person is willing to use, this virtue wins three also. The so-called benevolence of the woman, public in the current small things, sometimes neglected, as for the big things, and the four seas, the grace added, all over its hope, although not seen, the thoughtful, all helped, this benevolence wins four also. The skill is good for the hypothetical, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is less than the public, the soldiers are like gods, the soldiers are afraid of it, the enemy is afraid of it, and this martial arts is better than five. The public has these five victories, and Yuan Shu is not enough to worry about. (To be continued......)
