Jingzhou, Jiangling, here is already Liu Bei's temporary place of governance, after the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's million army was flooded by Zhuo Ao, Liu Bei took the opportunity to make trouble, under the account of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici came to attack the city for several days, Jingxiang nine counties in addition to Xiangyang, Nanyang two counties, basically Liu Bei obtained, but also Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other fierce generals.

Zhuge Liang was dealing with official business in his hands, but he was thinking about other things in his heart, Liu Bei's development during this time can be said to be extremely smooth, but there was one thing that made him quite concerned, Zhuo Ao, who should have come over to compete with them for Jingxiang's territory, did not appear, and even saw the shadow of the Jiangdong Army in Jingzhou in the past two days.

The other party laid out such a big game, and when it was time to divide the fruits of victory in the end, it disappeared, and it also made Zhuge Liang's previous large number of response plans in vain, as if the feeling of a punch was empty, and now the overall situation of Jingzhou has been decided, because there is no Jiangdong's constraints, Liu Bei has taken Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to attack Xiangyang, if Xiangyang can be captured, this battle will be a complete success.

"Strategist, why are you still busy with this? Come out and get ready to go to Xiangyang! Zhang Fei's loud voice was clearly heard outside the house.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei who came in in with a figure of eight in amazement: "Third general, didn't you attack Xiangyang with the lord?" Why here? ”

Zhang Fei shook his big head and said, "It's been captured, and the eldest brother sent me to pick you up." ”

"Captured?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei in amazement, with an incredible look on his face, Xiangyang is a big city in Jingxiang, although Cao Cao's army was destroyed, but the defense of Xiangyang must be strong. Liu Bei led the army to fight Xiangyang, but it took only ten days. Counting the distance back and forth, it didn't even take five days to lay Xiangyang?

Zhuge Liang's heart moved. looked at Zhang Fei and said, "But there's a problem with Zhuo Jiangdong?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Originally, Cao Cao was still confronting us, but three days later, he suddenly left an empty camp and ran away, and when we arrived in Xiangyang, we learned that Zhuo Ao took advantage of the time when we were fighting with Cao Cao, sneak attacked Guangling and Runan, occupied the entire Xuzhou, and was leading a large army to storm Xuchang. Cao Cao received the news and gave up Xiangyang, leaving only Cao Ren to guard Wancheng and lead the army back to help Xuchang. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei waved his fist hatefully: "Even if you can't attack Xuchang, Zhuo Ao has won a Xuzhou and Runan in just over this month, Runan is a big county, comparable to half of Jingzhou." Counting it up, we have been dragging Cao Cao here, but Zhuo Ao has made a fortune in the back, and it is not pleasant to think about it! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but say: "We can have today's victory." It was also Lai Jiangdong who defeated Cao Cao's million-strong army to get to where he is today, but after this battle. The thief Cao is about to be greatly injured. ”

Even if the loss of a million troops, for Cao Cao. It's not a bone-break, Jingzhou is not Cao Cao's territory. Counting, if it is just like this, although Cao Cao was defeated, but the foundation was not moved, and Zhuo Ao took advantage of this battle to successfully shake Cao Cao's foundation, as Zhang Fei said, this battle, Zhuo Ao is the biggest winner, and Zhuge Liang is also admired for Zhuo Ao's courage to take the initiative to give up Jingzhou, it seems that the other party is also playing the same idea as himself, it seems that the future of the general policy of uniting Jiangdong to resist Cao will not be too much of a problem before Cao Cao perishes.

Cao Cao returned to Xuchang in time to avoid the crisis of Xuchang being captured, but Xuzhou and Runan were indeed lost, and had just experienced a defeat, Cao Cao was eager to mobilize troops to attack Zhuo Ao, and could only watch Zhuo Ao sit in Xuzhou and Runan step by step.

Chen Qi is retired in Xuchang, which can be regarded as a kind of hostage, after all, Chen Deng served as the pastor of Xuzhou and held the power of one party, if there was no hostage, Cao Cao would not be at ease.

Who knew that the bad news suddenly came, not only Chen Deng was killed, the Chen family in Xuzhou, and even the servants of the family were uprooted by Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi, and the door was beheaded.

Although Cao Cao regretted it, he was helpless, because Zhuo Ao had never been recognized and helped by the scholars, only endless trouble, if Cao Cao destroyed a family full of families, then he had to worry about the crazy counterattack of the scholars, but Zhuo Ao is different, Jiangdong's lesson has told everyone that Zhuo Ao is not a soft persimmon, dare to reach out to him, then weigh whether he has the ability to calculate Zhuo Ao, if not, then obediently pretend to be a grandson, people are not rare you, you dare to show your claws, a knife to chop off your head.

Fortunately, Zhuo Ao attacked Xuchang in vain, and after returning to Xuzhou, he did not continue to use troops, but as in Jiangdong, he started people's livelihood education, which made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Liu Bei, who was newly acquired in Jingzhou, Cao Cao didn't care, although Liu Bei gained a lot this time, but if he wanted to pose a threat to Cao Cao, he would have to wait a few years.

In this way, a few years have passed, Zhuo Ao in the third year of his own Huainan King, Cao Cao was named the King of Wei in the same year, although the two sides have occasional friction, but also did not make a big move, but the generals continue to compete with each other, Xuzhou in Zhuo Ao's governance under the national strength, the old Shi clan is gradually replaced by the new Shi clan around Zhuo Ao, so that the world is cold, but it makes countless small families excited, because Zhuo Ao now has the capital to dominate the world, that is, Cao Cao is also afraid of three points, if you invest in Zhuo Ao's command early, In the future, it may not be able to replace the status of those families today, just as the old saying goes: "Princes and generals, rather have a kind!" ”

For a time, small and medium-sized families and down-and-out families from all over the country have surrendered to Zhuo Ao, and Zhuo Ao's forces have become more and more stable with the help of these people.

In the fourth year, the war between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang broke out in Hanzhong, Liu was invited by Liu Zhang to lead the troops into Hanzhong, Cao Cao saw this, knew that it was not good, with Zhou Yu as the commander, the first step to capture Hanzhong, Liu Bei had already taken advantage of the situation to seize Xichuan, led the army, the soldiers out of the Pujia Pass, and Zhou Yu fought in March, in the end, Zhou Yu labor expedition, the grain road was Zhuge Liang by the side of no fierce generals, even under the harassment, had to withdraw from Hanzhong, since then, Liu Bei has become a general trend, only Jingzhou, Yizhou two states, and Zhuo Ao echoed each other.

In desperation, Cao Cao moved the capital to Luoyang to avoid Zhuo Ao's edge.

In the fifth year after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, and his son Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, the world was turbulent, Zhuo Ao and Liu Bei sent troops almost at the same time, Zhuo Ao sent troops to capture Yingchuan and Yuzhou, Liu Bei did not attack Luoyang at the suggestion of Zhuge Liang, but waved the army to take Chang'an, and at the same time Guan Yu sent troops from Xiangyang to capture Wancheng.

Luoyang became a lonely city, Cao Pi was shocked three times a day, and finally at the suggestion of the ministers, the capital was moved to Yecheng, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to occupy Luoyang, and Zhuo Ao also broke through Xingyang.

At this point, the honeymoon period between Zhuo Ao and Liu Bei with the decline of Cao Wei, the alliance gradually weakened, and finally, after Guan Yu did not listen to the order without authorization, attacked Runan, but was killed by Gan Ning's arrow, the relationship between the two sides finally broke down, Liu Bei was angry and raised 500,000 troops to attack Zhuo Ao, Zhuo Ao while arranging a defensive line in the Yingchuan area, but secretly ordered Lu Xun, who was sitting in Jiangdong, to cross the river and take Jingzhou, which was in chaos because of Guan Yu's death.

Liu Bei lost Jingzhou, and was beaten by Zhuo Ao in the Yingchuan area, accompanied by Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, two generals died in battle, Liu Bei finally withdrew temporarily under the persuasion of Zhuge Liang, but seeing the tragic death of his former brothers one after another, it also made the elderly Liu Bei heartbroken, and soon after he returned, he died of depression.

Zhuge Liang was ordered to repair the relationship with Zhuo Ao, and after meeting to break Wei together, it would not be too late to fight again.

Zhuo Ao agreed, the two sides re-established the covenant, the following year Zhuge Liang led the army to capture Hanoi, although Guan Zhang died, but Shuzhong still has Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Ma Chao, Wei Yan these fierce generals support, and the age is relatively young, on the battlefield, under Zhuge Liang's strategy, even the battle and victory, annexed a large area of territory in the state, Cao Pi in the last resort, re-invited Zhou Yu out of the mountain, and Zhuge Liang confronted in the Yanmen area.

At this time, Zhuo Ao finally made a move, the navy of many years of training, under the leadership of Zhou Tai, quietly landed from the Bohai Sea, and directly launched an attack on the interior of Jizhou, at the same time, Zhuo Ao's first fierce general Lu Lingqi also put on the battle, red rabbit horse, Fang Tian halberd, like a female version of Wenhou, killed into the plain, beheaded Cao Wei veteran Zhang He under Wu'an City, and shot Cao Hong, the only remaining veteran of Cao's fruits, at this time Lu Lingqi was nearly half a hundred years old, but driven by hatred, burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and Cao Wei did not dare to raise his head, Cao Pi ordered Sima Yi to lead Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba and others to fight.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang suffered a big loss in the hands of Zhou Yu, tired Tai Shici and Ma Chao died tragically under Yanmen Pass, Zhuge Liang followed and cut off Zhou Yu's back road, forcing Zhou Yu to kill himself in Yanmen Pass, Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to bypass Taihang Mountain to attack Jizhou, Zhuo Ao's army also approached Yecheng from two roads, Cao Pi threw down Emperor Xian overnight and fled to Youzhou, Zhuo Ao and Zhuge Liang met in Yecheng, but there was no imaginary friendship, in order to compete for Emperor Xian, the two sides fought with Yecheng as the battlefield, and in the end no one was able to bargain. Emperor Xian was shot into a hedgehog by a stray arrow in the melee, and both sides quit.

But at this time, Lu Xun united with the Southern Barbarians to attack Shuzhong, captured Hanzhong and Bashu in one fell swoop, and joined forces with Gan Ning to capture Luoyang, forcing Chang'an, Liu Chan even sent twenty tokens to urgently transfer Zhuge Liang back to the division, Zhuo Ao took the opportunity to attack Youzhou, wiped out Cao Wei, and at the same time Zhou Tai invaded and captured Zhuge Liang's just captured Bingzhou.

Zhuge Liang returned to Chang'an, but lost most of the world, leaving only the cool land, and Zhuo Ao maneuvered, designed to kill Gan Ning, and killed Ding Feng and Deng Ai, two new generals.

Zhuo Ao also integrated the world's troops, led the army to attack, and Zhuge Liang in the Hangu Pass area to start a dragon and tiger fight, although Zhuge Liang is powerful, but Liu Chan does not have Liu Bei's kind of ambition, seeing that Zhuo Ao is powerful, unable to return to the sky, and finally in Zhou Tai's soldiers under the city, chose to surrender.

After Zhuge Liang heard the news, he ordered the three armies to unmount their armor, but he did not go to see Zhuo Ao, and he was cut off from Hangu Pass, since then, the world has been unified, and it has lasted nearly 20 years to dominate the world, but it is far beyond Zhuo Ao's estimate, which still did not form a three-legged pattern in the end, otherwise, this time may be postponed indefinitely, until Zhuge Liang is consumed to death.
