After killing Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu immediately led the army to chase after the outside of the camp, but he looked around, where was Cao Cao's figure. At this time, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Hu Che'er and others had already chased out, and after arriving at Zhang Xiu's side, they all said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is gone." ”

Zhou Cang, who was following Zhang Xiu, said hatefully: "Damn, let Cao thief get away with this!" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled, and said: "It's okay, now Puyang City should have been taken by our army, Cao Cao has no way to retreat, and let's collect the troops first." The crowd heard and agreed in unison.

At this time, Xu Chu protected Cao Cao and hurriedly retreated in the direction of Puyang City. After walking for a while, I heard a voice in front of me. Cao Cao had already become a frightened bird at this time, and he was shocked after hearing the human voice, and Xu Chu immediately protected Cao Cao. But after waiting for a while, Cao Cao could hear the voice of one of them very familiar.

At this time, Xu Chu also turned around and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, it seems that Xun Shangshu is in front." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhongkang, you go and ask." ”

Xu Chu nodded, then rode forward for a while, and then asked loudly, "Is Xun Shangshu in front?" ”

Before long, someone responded: "But Zhongkang? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately rode his horse out, and sure enough, he saw Xun You. In addition to Xun You, there were thousands of remnants of soldiers next to him. Cao Cao was surprised and asked Xun You, "Gongda, why are you here?" ”

And Xun You saw that there were only Cao Cao and Xu Chu, and he didn't have to think much to know that it was a failure, so he sighed and said: "Lord, Nanyang Xu Huang led the troops to kill." Taking advantage of the fact that General Koji was attacking the enemy camp, his army suddenly came out and surrounded General Koji Yi with the men of Zhang Xiu's battalion. General Kojiyi forcibly led his army to break through the encirclement, but the enemy pursued him very quickly and did not dare to enter the city. After Zhang Xiu's army divided his troops, Xu Huang led a large army to attack the city, and Zhang Ren led the army to chase General Liyi. The city is empty, and we can't resist the enemy, so we can only flee out of the city. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his body shook for a while, and he almost fell off the horse, but Xu Chu hurriedly held on to it. After Cao Cao settled down, he said in a condensed voice: "Since Xu Huang is here, I'm afraid that Yun Chang will also be in trouble." ”

Xun You heard this, sighed and said, "Lord, this is not the time to speak. Qingzhou came to report that Linzi had been captured by Sun Ce, and now His Majesty is being escorted to Jinan by the second son and his uncle, and I can only go to Jinan now. Cao Cao listened, nodded, and was about to come out. At this time, Xun You suddenly stopped Cao Cao and said, "Lord, have you ever seen Ziyang?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head strangely and said, "Haven't you?" Ziyang, what's wrong with him? ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "No." ”

Seeing that Xun was fine, Cao Cao led a group of remnants of the army and retreated in the direction of Jinan.

……

Half a day later, in the middle of Puyang City's Taishou Mansion, after Zhang Xiu saw Xu Huang, he laughed and said: "Gongming came in time, just to help me break the enemy!" ”

Xu Huang smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "It is Huang's duty to go out for His Majesty." ”

After a few more polite exchanges, the two took their seats one by one. This time, Xu Huang brought all the Nanyang Corps, and Chen Gong, Huang Xu, Wang Wei and others all arrived together.

Seeing that above the main seat, Zhang Xiu asked, "Gongming, why did you come so quickly?" ”

Xu Huang smiled lightly: "But it was Xingba and Ziyi who attacked Huainan, and Cao Ren lost his troops and could only retreat to Qingzhou." Ziyi and Xingba pursued Cao Ren, while General Xu Rong led his army to attack Runan. Runan was originally empty and was easily taken down, and Xuchang, which Guan Yu was stationing, suffered from the enemy on his back, so he abandoned the city. After that, Huang discussed with Wen Yuan, knowing that His Majesty had few soldiers here, so Huang led the army to help in the battle, and Wen Yuan pursued Guan Yu with General Xu Rong. Now Guan Yu's troops are on their way to retreat from central Yanzhou to Qingzhou. ”

Zhang Xiu touched his chin and said: "Both armies have retreated, it seems that the decisive battle should be in Qingzhou!" ”

At this moment, Zhou Cang rushed in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Jizhou is urgent!" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and shouted intently: "Spread quickly!" ”

After a while, I saw a young general coming in from outside, and arched his hand towards Zhang Xiu: "The last general, Wen Qin, see Your Majesty!" ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, her eyebrows raised at the same time, and she said secretly: "Wen Qin? "This Wen Qin is not too famous, but Zhang Xiu knows that Wen Qin's son Wen Yang is very fierce and can be called the god of war in the post-Three Kingdoms period. His martial arts are probably even better than Deng Ai and Jiang Wei. However, he has a strong temperament and is a brave general rather than a wise general.

Wen Qin was not famous, so after his surrender, Huang Zhong did not report this trivial matter to Zhang Xiu. This time there was a task to deliver a letter, so Huang Zhong arranged for Wen Qin to come to meet Zhang Xiu, so as to leave an impression.

After Zhang Xiu saw Wen Qin, he nodded his head and said with a smile: "How is the situation in Jizhou?" ”

I saw Wen Qin take out the wax pill from his arms, hand it to Zhou Cang, and said: "General Huang is defending under the plain, and General Zhao is also leading the army to attack. It's just that Xiahoudun has capable people under him, who resisted General Huang's attack on the one hand, and made a strange plan to build a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River. The pontoon bridge was built in time to find the general to come, and Xiahoudun's army crossed the river from the pontoon bridge overnight, and now it is looking at Jinan! ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was surprised: "The Yellow River is wide, if Cao Jun wants to build a pontoon bridge, how can Han Sheng and Boyan be unprepared." ”

Wen Qin smiled bitterly and said: "The enemy's military advisor has a strange plan, and even Mr. 6 can't calculate it. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu had already opened the letter and read it, and after smiling bitterly, he handed the letter to Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, just take a look." ”

Xu Huang took the letter, looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help but exclaim: "How can you build a pontoon bridge like this?" ”

It turned out that when Xiahoudun led the army to the plain, the ferry had been occupied by Huang Zhong's army, and Zhao Yun's army was chasing behind. So he offered a plan to cross the river. However, it was to let Xiahou lead the army to occupy the Yellow River first, and at the same time confront Huang Zhong's army. Fu Zhu went to the downstream place to build a number of pontoon bridges, because the pontoon bridges were not built for a long time, and the number was extremely large, and there were a large number of soldiers guarding them, the navy could only destroy some. Soon, Cao Jun will be able to build a pontoon bridge again. Cao Jun was also strange, the pontoon bridge was only half built and no longer built, and Xiahoudun was very anxious to attack the ferry. So Huang Zhong transferred most of the navy back to defend the ferry.

How do you know that Fu Zhu saw this opportunity, secretly built the other half of the pontoon bridge on the shore, and then released the pontoon bridge from Xiahoudun's camp while the water army was unprepared. The pontoon floated down the river, and when it reached the downstream point, a soldier caught it and tied it to the half-built pontoon bridge. In this way, the remaining half of the pontoon bridge was directly erected, and the army was ordered to cross the river immediately, and at the same time, Xiahoudun also led the army to secretly cross the river at the pontoon bridge. Since only a small part of the navy army was left downstream, the entire pontoon bridge could not be destroyed at all.

By the time Zhou Tai arrived with the rest of the naval army, most of Cao's army had already successfully crossed the Yellow River. No matter how much the navy destroys the pontoon bridge, it can only stop a few Cao troops.

After Xu Huang read it, he couldn't help but high-five and praised: "What a frustration, it's really a clever plan!" ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he also smiled and said: "Back then, Yuan Benchu didn't use Tian Feng and frustration, otherwise, my enemy today might be him." ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong said, "Your Majesty, it's useless to talk about these things anymore. Now that Cao Ren, Guan Yu, and Xiahoudun have entered Qingzhou, Cao Cao's troops in Qingzhou have skyrocketed to more than 400,000. Your Majesty, don't be careless! ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed and said, "So what, how can the strength in my hands be inferior to him!" An order was sent to Zilong and Hansheng of Jizhou to immediately cross the river and attack Jinan from the north. Now that the Han Emperor is in Jinan, I believe that Cao Cao will flee there as well. Give orders to Xingba, Ziyi, Wenyuan, and Bofu to lead the army to Jinan, where the final battle will be! After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu said to Xu Huang and Zhang Ren: "Gongming, righteousness, you and others will also go to reorganize the army, prepare to enter Qingzhou, and go to Jinan!" ”

When the two heard this, they responded in unison: "No! ”

And Zhang Xiu, at this time, looked to the east and muttered to himself: "Cao Mengde, Jinan is where you are buried!" ”

……

Jinan City, after more than 20 years, Cao Cao returned to this place again. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was transferred to Jinan and served as the prime minister of Jinan. Looking back on those years, Cao Cao was so high-spirited. It's just that in Jinan now, the scenery is still the same, but things have long been different.

At the Cao Army's big tent outside Jinan, Xun Yu reported to Cao Cao and Liu Xieyu: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, General Yuan Rang has crossed the Yellow River, and General Zixiao has also entered Qingzhou, and they all look to Jinan to come." And according to the news from them, Zhang Xiu's army also pressed tightly without the slightest relaxation. General Liyi also came with news that Zhang Xiu's army had broken Jibei and was preparing to come to Jinan. If Yu is not bad, Jinan will be the place of the final battle. ”

Cao Cao heard it and muttered: "A decisive battle in Jinan? It's also a good thing! ”

At this time, Liu Xie, who was on the throne, said: "Prime Minister, now that winter is coming, maybe Zhang Xiu's rebels will temporarily suspend the war because of winter." ”

Cao Cao heard this, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, Zhang Xiu will definitely defeat us in one go without a truce." ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he was speechless for a while, and said, "This ......"

I saw Cao Cao arch his hand and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, just go back to Jinan City." All the battles outside the city will be dealt with by me, Cao Cao! ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "The prime minister is really my minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then asked Xun Yu to take Liu Xie away.

After everyone left, only Cao Cao was left alone in the big tent. Touching the Yitian Sword on his waist, Cao Cao muttered: "Zixiu is gone, Fengxiao is gone, and Dian Wei is also gone...... Zhang Xiu, in the end, you won. Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and the white sword shone in Cao Cao's eyes, looking extremely hideous.

Cao Cao stroked the sword body of Yitian Sword, and said in a condensed voice: "But I, Cao Mengde, am Hanchen, Zhang Xiu, although you have won, your true appearance will not let you win so easily!" After speaking, he slammed a sword into the air, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" ”

……

In the autumn of the second year of Huajingchang, Taizu Zhang Xiu led the army to break the Han Prime Minister Cao Cao in Puyang, and then led the army to capture Jibei. After resting in Jibei for several days, the army immediately left for Jinan.

At the same time, Zhao Yun, a general of the chariot cavalry, and Huang Zhong, a general of Wei, led an army of 150,000 cavalry to cross the Yellow River and look at Jinan from the north to kill. Tai Shici, the general of the Chinese army, and Gan Ning, the governor of the navy, led 80,000 infantry troops from Xuzhou to Jinan, Qingzhou. Zhang Liao, the general of Zhengdong, and Xu Rong, the general of Zhendong, led an infantry army and 120,000 barbarian soldiers to kill Jinan from Yanzhou. Sun Ce, the general of Zhengnan, led an infantry army of 10,000 from Linzi in Qingzhou to kill Benjinan.

In the winter of the second year of Hua Jingchang, Taizu Zhang Xiu and the rest of the Fourth Route Army joined forces in Jinan, Qingzhou. The number of Han infantry cavalry in this battle exceeded 400,000, which can be said to be the last chance for the Han army. On the Huaguo side, the total number of infantry cavalry troops was only 500,000, which was almost the same as the Han army in terms of military strength. However, in the army of less than 500,000, all the elite troops and generals of Huaguo have been completely gathered, and it can be said that all the elites of Huaguo are here!

Outside the city of Jinan, the earth has quietly changed into silver.

At this time, the winter sun is just beginning to rise, but the earth-shattering sound of drums and loud trumpets has broken the silence of the early morning!

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Almost at the same time, the two sergeants rushed out of the camp to the sound of drums and trumpets, and slowly lined up in front of the main camp. Compared with Zhang Xiujun's calm formation, Cao Jun's side was much more cautious, obviously absorbing the experience of being attacked under Puyang City. It's just that Cao Cao didn't know that the stone bullets in Zhang Xiu's army had long been exhausted.

Thunder Cavalry, Cloud Cavalry, Flying Feather Bow Cavalry, Qianghu Iron Cavalry, Pangul Cavalry, Bloody Blade Battalion, Breaking Front Battalion, Wudang Flying Army, Wuqian Flying Army, Jinfan Battalion...... Elite troops marched out at neat pace!

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma, Gan Ning, Tai Shici...... A famous general rode a horse to open the way, and surrounded the emperor of Huaguo who was riding on a purple red war horse-Zhang Xiu came out of the battle!

On the other side, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry and tiger guard battalion also escorted Cao Cao into battle, and Guan Yu, Xiahoudun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals also followed. The two armies are-for-tat, and neither of them admits defeat in terms of momentum!

The formation lasted for more than an hour, and millions of talents from the two armies set up a formation outside Jinan.

I saw Zhang Xiu riding out of his horse and shouting towards the opponent: "Cao Mengde, come out and answer!" ”

Cao Cao on the other side also drove out of the chariot after hearing this, and shouted: "Cao Mengde is here!" ”

Zhang Xiu held a tiger-headed golden spear, pointed at Cao Cao from afar, and shouted: "The Han family is exhausted, and I respect you Cao Cao is a hero." If you abandon your sword and surrender now, I can also make you Cao Cao prime minister. What the Son of Han gave you, I can give you everything! ”

Cao Cao heard it, but he raised his head to the sky and laughed: "I, Cao Cao, was born as a Han minister, and died as a Han ghost!" ”
