Although the Yuan family was in civil strife, it was still not so easy for Cao Cao to pacify the north. Yuan Shao died in 2o2, and two years later, in 2o4 AD, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang, broke through Yecheng, and obtained Jizhou.

Yuan Shang fled north, Cao Cao went to Yuan Shao's tomb, wept bitterly, comforted Yuan Shao's wife, returned their family's property, and gave cotton wool and food, and the scene was very workable. However, Cao Cao's daughter Cao Pi secretly occupied Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Luo.

Seeing this, Kong Rong immediately complained: "In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu cut down the Emperor, captured Daji, and gave it to the Duke of Zhou. ”

Cao Cao didn't realize that Kong Rong was complaining when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Hey, why haven't I heard of it?" Which book is this written in? ”

Kong Rong said: "Seeing today's incident, I deduced it. ”

Cao Cao was unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. But Kong Rong was very arrogant, and he laughed at Cao Cao one after another. Cao Cao knew that Kong Rong was a talented man with a very high reputation, and he couldn't kill him, so he could only endure it all the time.

In 2o5, Cao Cao beheaded Yuan Tan and Qingzhou Ping.

In 2o6, Cao Cao beheaded Yuan Shao's nephew and merged with Shi Gaogan, and the state was peaceful.

In 2o7, Cao Cao went on a northern expedition to Wuhuan.

Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao had pacified the north step by step over the years, and he was anxious to die. And Liu Biao drank tea with him every day, chatted, and talked about romantic characters, and the days passed quickly. Hearing that Cao Cao had already exhausted all the territory he could fight, and even went to fight ethnic minorities outside the frontier, Liu Bei couldn't bear it, he persuaded Liu Biao to quickly attack Xu Du.

Of course, Liu Biao didn't listen to Liu Bei's words, he was in his sixties at this time. Old age and weak strength, drink tea, chat, but it's no problem, lead the troops to the battle? You're too embarrassed for this old man, aren't you?

This year, Liu Bei got a subordinate, that is, Zhuge Liang.

In 2o8, Cao Cao returned from the northern expedition, and without any worries, he began to train the navy. Prepare for the southern expedition. this year. He hired a subordinate named Sima Yi. It was also in this year that he dismissed the three princes and placed him as prime minister. and appointed himself prime minister. The world is decided. Powerful. He finally didn't want to endure it anymore and beheaded the celebrity Kong Rong.

Although Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou have not yet started, they are in Cao Cao's eyes. It's only a matter of time before these four states are settled. In the middle of the day, the moon is full, and Cao Cao, who was proud of the spring breeze, did not expect the next fiasco.

Cao Cao first wanted to kill Jingzhou, so he led his army to attack Jingzhou. I have to say that Liu Biao was a very lucky man, and before Cao Cao's soldiers arrived in Jingzhou, he died. In the troubled times, he was able to spend nearly 20 years in Jingzhou, and finally the war came, he died, you look at the luck of others!

Historically, Cao Cao waved his troops south in July, and Liu Biao died in August. The timing of his death was so good that Liu Cong didn't even have time to take over the shift, so he ushered in Cao Cao's iron horse.

Seeing Cao Cao's army, Liu Cong made a very simple decision - surrender!

At this time, Liu Bei, as Liu Biao's minister, led heavy troops to defend Cao Cao in Fancheng. Liu Cong knew that Liu Bei had a grudge against Cao Cao, so he never told Liu Bei about the surrender. When Cao Cao's soldiers arrived in Wancheng, Liu Bei was shocked and sent someone to ask Liu Cong what was wrong.

Liu Bei came to ask, and Liu Cong sent Song Zhong to tell Liu Bei: "Hehe, we surrendered, don't fight Cao Cao." ”

Liu Bei is also a bloody man, although he is now nearly fifty years old, he still can't change his temper. At that time, he drew his saber, smashed the back of the knife against Song Zhong's neck and said, "What are you doing here?" TMD Cao Cao's soldiers are all in front of me, so I told me that you have surrendered? I'm cutting you down now, it's not enough to quench the anger in my heart, and killing people like you is really damaging my reputation, get out of here! ”

Song Zhong hurriedly got out, and Liu Bei gathered his subordinates to discuss. At the beginning, he rebelled with Dong Cheng and wanted to kill Cao Cao, which had already been known to Cao Cao, and then he plotted to seize Xuzhou and confront Cao Cao. If he surrenders with Liu Cong at this time, it is inevitable that Cao Cao will settle old accounts, and his life will be lost.

Liu Bei planned to take his soldiers and horses to capture Jiangling City and confront Cao Cao, so he fled south with his troops. Of course, Cao Cao also knew that Jiangling was an important place, and refused to let Liu Bei have a chance, so he waved his troops to chase after him. The two fought at Dangyang Changsaka, and Liu Bei was defeated. This is a plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there are many related missions in the game.

After this battle, Liu Bei was completely finished, but the arrival of a guest gave him new hope. The guest who changed Liu Bei's fate was Lu Su.

Lu Su happened to meet Liu Bei when Liu Bei's Yang Changsaka army was defeated, and he asked Liu Bei: "Where are you going to go in Yuzhou now?" ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I have an old relationship with Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju, and I'm ready to go to him." ”

Cangwu County is a county in Jiaozhou, which is Jingzhou is no longer guaranteed, and Liu Bei is ready to go south to Jiaozhou.

Lu Su said: "Sun is smart and benevolent, respectful and virtuous, and heroic in Jiangbiao, all of them are subordinate to him, and he has already possessed the six counties of Yangzhou, and there are many soldiers and food, which is enough to become a big thing." I think you might as well send your henchmen to form an alliance with the east and create a great cause together. Nantou Wu Ju's words, Wu Ju is so far away, and he has no ability, if Jingzhou is gone, it will be his turn, what's the use of going over there? ”

Liu Bei listened to Lu Su's words and was happy in his heart. He actually wants to take refuge in Sun Quan, but he is afraid that Sun Quan will not accept it! He doesn't have a good reputation.

At this time, Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang again: "I have a very good relationship with your sister!" ”

"Really? How's my sister doing? Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and also chatted with Lu Su.

It was precisely because of Lu Su that Liu Bei did not flee south, but fled east. The easternmost part of Jingzhou is Jiangxia County, Jiangxia Taishou is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, who was very angry when he heard that his younger brother surrendered, and did not surrender to Cao, but accepted Liu Bei. Liu Bei then led troops into Fankou, Exian County.

Exian is a county to the east of Jiangxia County, very close to Yuzhang County in Yangzhou. Zhuge Liang represented Liu Bei and followed Lu Su to see Sun Quan.

Zhuge Liang saw Sun Quan and said: "The world is in turmoil, the general raised troops in Jiangdong, Liu Yuzhou collected Hannan, and Cao Cao fought for the world." But now the world has basically been pacified by Cao Cao, and recently it has won Jingzhou, which is powerful all over the world. It can be said that in the current situation, even heroes are useless, so Liu Yuzhou fled everywhere, and the general should also think about it.

If the general can compete with Cao Cao, who almost unified the whole country, with a mere place in Yangzhou, then that's it, if not, please surrender quickly. Otherwise, if you hesitate, you will continue to decide, and when Cao Cao's soldiers come to the city, it will be too late! ”

Sun Quan said: "In this case, why didn't Liu Yuzhou surrender to Cao?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "In the past, when Liu Bang pacified the world, Tian Heng, a strong man of Qi State, would rather lead 500 men to commit suicide than surrender, not to mention that Liu Yuzhou's royal family was talented and admired by everyone?" If we can't defeat Cao Cao, it's the will of heaven, and we will never do such a thing as surrender! ”

Sun Quan was furious when he heard this, there are so many of you left, and you refuse to surrender, so you actually let me surrender? Am I just that?

"I can't lift the whole land of Wu, a hundred thousand people, subject to others! That's it! ”

At this time, Cao Cao's letter to Sun Quan also arrived. The letter wrote: "Those who are close to him are guilty of resigning, and Liu Cong is restrained. There are 800,000 people in the Imabari water army, and Fang and the general will hunt in Wu. ”

"800,000 troops!" Sun Quan's men were all shocked.

Zhang Zhao and others: "Cao Gong coerced the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, to fight against rebellion, and to conquer everything." The general may be able to resist Cao Cao by relying on the danger of the Yangtze River, but now that Cao Cao has obtained Jingzhou, he has Liu Biao's naval army in hand, thousands of Mengchong fighting ships, plus 800,000 troops, how can he resist this? ”

Sun Quan was very depressed when he saw that Zhang Zhao and the others were going to surrender, but after everyone had discussed, Lu Su secretly went to Sun Quan, told him that he could not surrender, and persuaded him to recall Zhou Yu to ask for advice.

Sun Quan immediately recalled Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu analyzed Sun Quan: "This group of guys was frightened when they saw Cao Cao say that he had 800,000 troops, in fact, how could Cao Cao have so many troops?" His original soldiers were only 150,000 or 60,000, plus 70,000 or 80,000 under Liu Biao, which was only more than 200,000 or 300,000 to the sky. ”

Sun Quan said: "Even if there are only 300,000, we are not opponents!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao's soldiers have been fighting in the south and north for many years, and they are all tired, and Liu Biao's army is new and suspicious. These tired and sick people, even if there are more of them, there is no need to be afraid at all. If you give me 50,000 elite soldiers, I will be enough to defeat Cao Cao. ”

When Sun Quan heard that Zhou Yu wanted 50,000 soldiers, he immediately frowned and said: "50,000 soldiers are too much, I can't take them out for a while, so I can only give you 30,000 first, and then slowly make up!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Okay, 30,000 is 30,000!" Enough is enough! ”

So, Zhou Yu set out with an army of 30,000.

Liu Bei was in Fankou, always afraid that Cao Cao would come over, and he was eager to see through Sun Quan's army. On this day, he suddenly saw Zhou Yu's soldiers coming, and immediately greeted him in person. But when he rowed a small boat to Zhou Yu's boat, something was wrong. This Zhou Yu's soldiers are even less than he imagined.

Liu Bei hurriedly asked Zhou Yu: "Fight Cao Cao, we have to plan carefully, how many people do you bring?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Thirty thousand." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, the whole person was stunned. He knew that Sun Quan only had one state, and there were definitely not as many soldiers as Cao Cao, but he didn't expect such a small number of pitiful. He frowned and said, "Cao Cao has an army of 800,000, and you only brought 30,000 people, which is too little, right?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's enough, Liu Yuzhou just sits on the wall and watches to see how I break Cao!" ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhou Yu was so confident, and his heart was even more unsteady, but there was no way, who made his strength weaker?

So Zhou Yu led an army of 30,000 and launched a battle against Cao Cao's army of 800,000, which was called the Battle of Chibi.

Needless to say, the process of the battle is known to everyone. Huang Gai surrendered and launched a fire attack, and Zhou Yu and others followed him with light and sharp and fought hard to kill. A large number of Cao's army drowned in the river, Cao Cao led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat from Huarong Road, encountered muddy, the road was impassable, the sky was windy, and it was very difficult. Liu Bei saw that Zhou Yu had won, and he also led his men and horses to advance with Zhou Yu to chase and kill Cao Cao. (To be continued!)
