Cao Cao's decisive sword created a puzzle for the ages. Even thousands of years later, when many archaeologists discover the site of the battle, they still can't solve the mystery.

What did he want to ask at that time? Why did he die without a blind eye? Historians have also engaged in fierce debates over this question, which has not been answered.

Some experts analyzed that when the monarch was hit hard by Zhuge Liang's Bagua Array three times, he must have wanted to ask what kind of skill Zhuge Liang used. However, other experts said that they should be asking why the king of Tang was not there, and his combat power was reduced by 50%, and he could still be so strong? Both claims are recognized by official orthodox historians.

Naturally, there are also some heresies, such as the exhaustion of the original book, the resentment is very deep, and he wants to take the opportunity to give up his life to perform a powerful sneak attack skill, but he was decisively beheaded by Cao Cao. Another example is like what book of monarchs actually wanted to scold MMP at that time, but there was no chance.

And no matter how the audience and future historians speculate and study. Let's go back and look at what is now the Southwest Continent.

The Tang Kingdom was too guarded, and they planned to wait for Tang Xiaobai to come back before making a decision to capture the country, but later they got the news through the spies that the king of the country died on the battlefield, and there was no new monarch to stand in the country.

After deliberation, the Eight Towns Taishou unanimously passed the proposal of "waving the army to the north".

Winter of 04.

A total of 50,000 troops from the eight towns of the Tang Kingdom set out from Wuzhen, led by Zhou Yu and Xu Chu, and took the lead in the blue battleship and marched to the north. The other 100,000 troops set out from Wei Town, led by Cao Cao and Zhao Yun personally, bypassed the plain, passed through the land at the end of the Liuqing River, and marched into the eastern part of the country.

Winter in the north is very cold.

If it were an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that many people would freeze to death along the way, but the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom must practice "Xuanti Gong" from the beginning of their enrollment, and their physical fitness is extremely strong, and there are not too many casualties in this cold place.

Nine meanders are clear, and the iron horse is a glacier.

The wind blows the frost and the mud cracks on the riverside, and the dead paulownia leaves fall and the branches are broken.

When the trumpet was blown, no one was heard, and the red flag went straight up to the snow in the Tianshan Mountains.

When the blue battleship entered the border of the country, the thick ice on the riverbed completely blocked the way, and 50,000 soldiers had to disembark and walk on the ice. Because they were not well adapted to the weather in the north, many soldiers still couldn't withstand the bad weather and fell on the way north.

Many people can't understand why they didn't wait for the beginning of spring before going on a northern expedition, when the weather was good and the climate was more suitable for the warriors of the south.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

Now that the Northern Kingdom has completely fallen into civil strife, if it is allowed to indulge, those rebellious bandit armies will slaughter the people, and even if the Tang Kingdom takes the land of the Kingdom of the Kingdom, what can it do?

It's just an empty shell.

The people are the primary productive forces, even if the Tang Kingdom is so prosperous, the daily increase in population is only about two people, counting the dead old people, it is only a hundred people, if there is no props such as the recruitment order, increasing the population is a particularly difficult problem.

Now the hundreds of thousands of people in the Great Book Country, if they can be used by the Tang State, it will have a major role.

After a long period of wind, snow and ice, the 50,000 vanguard troops of the Tang Kingdom finally came to the outside of the first town of the Tang Kingdom, and only 45,000 people remained at this time. Even in a battle, the Tang State had never lost so many soldiers.

Cole Town, the southernmost town in the country, when the king of the country led an army of 200,000, he used this as a gate to march south.

Today, the town is in dilapidation, and the signs on the walls have fallen crookedly.

There were frozen corpses everywhere, some of which were still lying on the flags.

The military flag on the ground was frozen and hard, and it was heavily linked.

Beneath the thick layer of ice, bright red blood coagulated.

The whole town seemed to be dead silent, except for the sound of Xiao Xiao's wind, I couldn't hear the sound of any living creatures, and I couldn't see any traces of living people's activities inside.

Since the death of the monarch, the channels that belong to him have become black screens. Now, those viewers see the appearance of the town through the perspective of the Tang Kingdom, and they don't have a taste in their hearts.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. By now, they somewhat understood why the Eight Towns Taishou insisted on braving the cold to go north.

If you don't come again, the entire kingdom will be like a ruin under the snowy mountains, lifeless.

By the beginning of spring next year, when the ice and snow melt, there will be a scene of purgatory.

"The first team went into the city to investigate." Zhou Yu gave the order.

Zhou Yu is resourceful and good at using soldiers, and he is also a generation of Tianjiao in the history books of the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that he met Zhuge Liang at that time, and finally died of depression. In this battlefield continent, he and Zhuge Liang have become courtiers of the Tang State, but there are not so many contradictions, and even the two often drink together to discuss military strategies.

No way, who said that Wu Zhen and Shu Town are only separated by a river?

The red cloak he is wearing now is still sewn by Zhuge Liang. The fabrics on it are all the famous silk of Shu Town, and the patterns on the cloak are also from the hands of Shu embroiderers.

In a word, it is particularly good-looking and warm. Under the blowing of the north wind, the cloak floated back, making him attract a large number of female fans.

"Report ...... Two generals, empty inside. ”

The soldier who had gone to investigate trotted all the way back and reported the situation inside.

The town of Cole had crossed the border with 200,000 troops, leaving some 5,000 soldiers behind, but now they were gone, and the people of the city were gone.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the soldiers will slaughter the whole town and then go to other towns. But if that's the case, what about the corpses of these people?

Zhou Yu walked into the town with doubts, and walked all the way down the street, where there were many corpses on both sides of the street.

But the number of these corpses is obviously not as large as the number of a small town.

"Strange."

Zhou Yu said to himself, the weather is cold, if these people don't stay in the city, where will they go?

"Have you checked carefully, have you searched the house?" Zhou Yu asked again uneasily.

The soldier who had just led the team into the city to investigate hurriedly said: "General Hui, I have checked the houses near the door of Xiaxia, and found no living people, and then I walked to the central square and did not see any living people, so I turned back." ”

Zhou Yu's brows furrowed, could it be that these people were hiding in the other half of the city?

"Huh?"

At this moment, Xu Chu seemed to have discovered something and was very surprised.

"General Xu, have you made any discoveries?" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked.

Xu Chu nodded, then pointed to the door of a room......
