The arrival of the Third Route Army in Jiyin means that the war is about to begin.

Cao Cao sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, his eyes swept over every senior general and strategist in the wide tent, thousands of thoughts surged in his chest, there were 300,000 male soldiers in his hands, Cao Cao's confidence was stimulated in an instant, even if the enemy was strong, what could he do, when he first started the army, the troops in his hands were only thousands, and the generals were only a few, not yet the current situation, as long as the Xiliang army was defeated, Cao Cao had full confidence and became the largest prince in the world in one fell swoop, that is, it was impossible to unify the world.

"The 400,000 troops of the Liang State have all gathered in Jiyin, this is the critical moment of the decisive battle, no general can relax his vigilance, in the Liang State army, there are lone wolves and assassinations, specifically responsible for the assassination of enemy generals and strategists, this point cannot be ignored, after the generals go back, they must strengthen the guards around them, and they cannot give Liang Guo a chance." Cao Cao said loudly: "The victory or defeat is in one move, I hope that the generals, after going back, will boost the morale of the generals and soldiers in the army, and strive to eradicate the forces of the Liang State in a war." ”

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins." The generals and strategists in the tent shouted in unison, many of the generals' faces turned red, and their eyes looking at Cao Cao were also full of confidence, although for so many years, Cao Jun faced the battle of Liangguo, there was no victory, they still had enough confidence in their hearts, followed Cao Cao for many years, and repeatedly witnessed Cao Jun coming forward from difficult times, and they were almost fanatical about Cao Cao.

"Let Mr. Xi talk about the situation between the enemy and us." Cao Cao set his sights on Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and his pale face showed a slight flush, "Liang Guo is powerful, our army is not weak, Liang Guo has 400,000 troops, we also have 300,000, and our soldiers are the elite of a hundred battles" Xi Zhicai said a few hundred words about the advantages of the Western Liang Army and the advantages of the Cao Army, and in private, he did a lot of work, especially the senior generals and famous strategists in the Liang Army.

After the generals left with great ambition, Xi Zhicai and other strategists were left in the tent.

"The main strategists of the Liang Kingdom are headed by Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Xu Shu are all talented people, and it is said that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are also among them, and the army is strong." Cao Cao said slowly, he was not blindly optimistic about the situation of Cao Jun, Liang Guo seemed to have collected hundreds of thousands of troops within three years, and no one dared to have the slightest doubt about Liang Guo's ability to train soldiers.

All the strategists began to bow their heads and think deeply, Lun strategy, everyone in the tent is the best in the army, has experienced a lot of wars, has rich experience, and has thousands of strategies, but the Xiliang army is also not weak, especially after the implementation of scientific research in the Liang country, a large number of talents have been recruited for the Xiliang army, and the talents of military and local governance are like bamboo shoots after the rain.

On the seventh day when the army gathered in Jiyin, Cao Cao received a letter from Liangguo.

In the center of the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, a table with several exquisite dishes and a bottle of spirits on it.

Cao Cao took Xu Zhudianwei and two generals, and Jia Rong was also accompanied by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

"Mengde, after many years, toast to our original friendship."

The two raised their glasses at the same time.

After drinking it all, Jia Rong smiled and said: "At the beginning, I was just an unknown person, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the whole world was in the hands of you and me." ”

"Hehe, Zhiyuan, now you are a high emperor, and as a brother, you are still an unknown person." Cao Cao did not forget to fight Jia Rong at all, both of them were courtiers of the Han Dynasty, under the rule of Cao Jun, it was still the banner of the Han Dynasty that was fluttering, but Jia Rong abandoned loyalty, established the Liang State, and became the emperor.

"Why did Meng De say this, with Meng De's strength, wanting to become an emperor is just a matter of one sentence, today you and I are getting together, just to talk about the original feelings, not to talk about anything else."

Nearly two hours later, Jia Rong got up and said, "Mengde, friendship is friendship, the battlefield is the battlefield, I will not have any mercy." ”

"Me too." Cao Cao replied.

The next day, Jia Rong directly sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to invite Cao's army to fight.

The camps on both sides are huge, hundreds of thousands of camps, stretching for hundreds of miles, and even so, the soldiers living in them are still a little crowded.

In the center of the two sides, there are dozens of miles of open space to ensure that a large-scale battle can begin.

In the opening battle, Cao Cao naturally would not be afraid, and directly sent Le Jin to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle, and the two sides fought in full swing, and in the first battle, both sides were only tentative attacks, and the thunderbolts did not even use weapons with great lethality, such as ballistas.

After years of combat tempering and the stimulation of the Liangguo army, the strength of the Cao army's infantry has reached its peak, and in the end, it was Ma Chao who led the 3,000 cavalry to determine the victory of this war.

In this battle, Cao Cao realized his disadvantage, that is, the cavalry, although Cao Cao was very confident that he wanted to build his cavalry into an elite and compete with the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom, but there were many restrictions, and the cavalry was always a shortcoming.

"Holy Lord, and this spring rain is coming, be careful to prevent Cao Jun from using water attacks, Ono Ze, Juye Ze, Heze and Lei Ze, it is possible." Jia Xu said.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, this kind of large-scale military engagement, any little factor, can become a factor of defeat.

"This matter will be handled by Jia Shangshu." Jia Rong said.

"In today's battle, the combat effectiveness of Cao's troops is indeed strong, they are the fierce enemies of our army, and they must not be ignored in any way, and the intelligence on the battlefield must be controlled at any time, and Cao's army cannot be given any chance." Jia Rong said.

After a short rest, the two sides started the battle again, this time, Liang Guo put into the siege car and thunderbolt car and ballista car, the cooperation of the three weapons, very skillful, the siege car, after a little transformation in the craftsman's workshop, became a sharp weapon on the battlefield, the rear by a horse, around the rushing car, densely arranged sharp steel, rushed into the camp, with bursts of bloody rain.

Rushing to open the road, the clever cooperation of the ballista and the thunderbolt allowed Ryokuni to achieve a small victory again.

For half a month in a row, the two sides fought in this kind of petty fight, winning and losing each other, and the total number of dead and wounded soldiers also reached 50,000.

On April 13, the sixth year of Kaiyuan, this day will be recorded in history, Jia Rong, the emperor of Liangguo, gathered all the soldiers and horses in his hands, and fought to the death with the Cao army.

In this battle, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the explosives of the Xiliang army were powerful, and the fire oil of the Cao army should not be underestimated, and the two sides used all kinds of means.

The battle lasted for a day and a night before it was declared over, rivers of blood flowed, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides could be seen everywhere on the battlefield.

In this battle related to the situation in the world, Cao's army was defeated and lost, with 300,000 troops, and only more than 30,000 people returned.

The Western Liang army also paid a great price, sacrificing generals and soldiers, the total number reached 150,000, and countless people were injured, in general, the biggest gainer was still Liang Guo.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liang Guo took advantage of the victory to pursue, and there were cities being conquered along the way, and the 300,000 army was already all the strength of the Cao army, and the defense of various places was already very fragile.

After condolences to the wounded soldiers, Jia Rong appeared in the big tent of the Chinese army with a gloomy face, this victory, the price paid, is too great, especially the last confrontation of the cavalry of the two sides, the momentum is earth-shattering, a famous soldier with his life to defend the honor of his own army, in this battle, human life is so worthless, no matter how much ability you have, in the face of hundreds of thousands of people, when the final strength is exhausted, only the general of the battalion general, Liangguo lost hundreds of people, the regimental general lost more than 30 people, 80,000 cavalry, Half of the losses were lost, and this is not counting the wounded.

After this battle, if you want to restore your current military peak, you will need at least five years of recuperation.

However, Liang Guo did not think that this battle would end like this, losing nearly 300,000 troops, and the Cao army at this time was undoubtedly the weakest.

Within a month, Qingzhou was declared to collapse, and the resistance of the Xiliang army was also very strong, and under the death order issued from above, the besieging generals came up and used the harshest means to blow open the city gates with explosives.

At this time, Cao Cao was in his hands, and there was only the land of Xuzhou.

After inspecting the army, Cao Cao no longer had just rushed to Jiyin with great ambition, the defeat was like a mountain, and the 300,000 army lived up to everything, which means that more than ten years of hard work have disappeared with this battle.

Xi Zhicai died, and when he played against the army of Liangguo, he was already terminally ill.

Cao's army was defeated, the Liang State captured the land of Yanzhou Qingzhou, the world shook, and Luoyang was completely boiling.

After the news of the victory reached Liangguo, the newspaper sold more than a million copies that day, and many merchants promoted many activities to celebrate this day of universal celebration.

Pengcheng, Xuzhou, became Cao Cao's final destination, after the Liangguo army besieged Pengcheng for a month, Cao Cao chose to commit suicide, three feet of white cloth, let his fate be summarized.

In November of the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Jia Rong, the emperor of Liangguo, commanded 400,000 soldiers and horses to recover Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

The opponent for many years, once he died, Jia Rong did not feel any joy, but had a faint sadness, lingering in his heart, how many years, how much blood was stained with his hands, since he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he went to the battlefield, and now the huge foundation of the Liang Kingdom is actually formed by countless blood and corpses piled together.

This moment of enlightenment, let Jia Rong cherish the current achievements, perhaps in order not to let the people fall into the war again, after experiencing so much, he also understands the difficulties and difficulties of the people's life, although many policies in Liangguo are really good for the people, but the people who live at the bottom are still the people, Shinong industry and commerce, the status of farmers is in the second place, in fact, it is not as good as businessmen.
