In late October, Xiangyang, fast Malay newspaper.

"Report! Lord! Maicheng was broken, General Zhang Yun was killed in battle, and the thief army ...... Unstoppable! ”

"What!?"

Fat as a fat pig, Liu Biao, who had gray hair, had a stuffy chest, a sweet throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and fell to the sky.

"Lord!"

The full hall of civil and military was shocked, and Cai Mao angrily grabbed the scout's collar: "It's only been half a month!" How did the yellow thief break Nanjun and Maicheng in a row!? ”

"Will ...... The general ......" The scout showed a look of fear: "That thief army has a terrible siege weapon, like a thunderbolt, and the gates of Nanjun and Maicheng are like gravel in front of that sharp weapon, and they will collapse at the touch of a button, and the defenders can't resist it at all." ”

"This ...... How is this possible!? ”

Not only Cai Mao, but all the civil and military officials were stunned.

Thunderbolt?

Could it be that the heavens are going to destroy our warriors?

"General, what should I do?" A civil official walked up to Cai Mao and asked in a low voice.

Cai Mao's face kept changing, the property of their scholar clan was in Jingzhou, once it was occupied by Huang Shang, all the properties would be taken away by him, which was something that everyone present did not want to see.

Judging from the current situation, it must be unstoppable, so the only thing that can be done is to take advantage of Huang Shang's failure to call, seize the time to pack up his family belongings, and take refuge in the north or Shu.

Although the land left in Jingzhou will definitely not be recovered, at least it can keep the clansmen and wealth, and there is still hope for a comeback in the future.

"I can't help it." Cai Mao drew his sword, and the scout was killed with a sword, and his voice was hoarse to everyone: "Run!" ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and sighed to the sky: "It's not that we are incompetent, it's really the destiny of Huang, and there is nothing to be done!" ”

If Huang Shang heard this, he would not have slapped them with a big mouth.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, you have to talk about some destiny.

These officials of the clan have no other skills, but the ability to rip off the pot has been flowing in the blood for many years.

…… I'm three days......

When Huang Shangshuai's army came to Xiangyang City, he was already ready for a big battle, but he didn't expect that the city gate of Xiangyang was opened, and the people automatically divided into two columns, eating pot pulp, and welcoming the arrival of Huang Shang's army.

“……”

All the soldiers looked at Huang Shang with admiration, and Zhao Zilong hugged his fists and said: "Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and the lord has collected the popularity of the people in the world and pacified the world, which is just around the corner." ”

Huang Shang smiled and patted Zhao Zilong on the shoulder: "I didn't expect Zilong to learn to pat on the back." ”

Zhao Zilong hurriedly said: "These are all the words of the last general. ”

"Hahaha......" Huang Shang laughed, and pointed at the gate of Xiangyang City: "Enter the city!" ”

A month later, Huang Shang took over Jingzhou and completely occupied half of the Han territory.

As the saying goes, if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and Huang Shang calmed down and started Jingzhou's internal affairs.

Crack down on local tyrants, divide land, promulgate all kinds of policies, and implement them in various places by the talents trained under their hands. Because the Jingzhou clan headed by Cai Mao ran away in advance, the small families who stayed behind had little resistance at all, and they were easily dismantled by Huang Shang, or dragged to labor reform, or rewarded to meritorious officials.

Familiar with the way.

As for the Jingzhou clans who ran away, it is said that most of them ran to the north of the Yellow River, although there was chaos there, but it was far away from Huang Shang's territory, even if Huang had not yet come to defeat Cao Cao, it would not be so easy to fight to the north of the Yellow River, if Cao Cao was lucky and eliminated Huang Shang, then they would be more able to sit back and relax.

In addition, a small number of them went to Yizhou, Yizhou is the land of abundance, and there are mountains and rivers and natural dangers, it is not easy for Huang Shang to fight, they feel that it will be safer to hide here.

Of course, their ideas are correct, but they don't know that there is a huge variable in this era, a bug that can turn agricultural civilization into industrial civilization in 50 years.

For example, the two-wheeled vehicle-mounted cannon, which began mass production in the twelfth year.

In fact, Huang Shang also considered mass production of muskets, but considering the large number of generals in this era, if muskets were invented, these generals would lose their due brilliance, such as Gan Ning, Zhao Zilong, and so on.

Think about it carefully, if Zhao Zilong was knocked down by Luo Ping'an with a shot, would it be very embarrassing?

Therefore, Huang Shang temporarily gave up the development of muskets, for the time being.

When he occupied Yizhou and needed to face the northern cavalry, it was the time when muskets were mass-produced.

At the moment, it is enough to have artillery, especially when attacking Yizhou, the effect of artillery on breaking through the pass is no different from that of an artifact.

At the same time, the news that Huang Shang possessed the siege artifact spread throughout the Han Dynasty along with the fleeing Jingzhou scholars. This made Cao Cao, who was originally full of confidence in himself, suspicious, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou panicked.

Now Huang Shang has occupied the entire southern part of the Han Dynasty, and the closest forces to him are Cao Cao and Liu Zhang.

The southerners are good at ships, and they must be unable to fight the northern cavalry, but Yizhou is a basin and there is no cavalry, so in the face of Huang Shang, who made his fortune from Jiaozhou, where there are many mountains and rivers, who will fight next? Obvious.

Fortunately, Huang Shang generously left Liu Zhang a year to enjoy himself, until after the autumn harvest of the second year, he ordered Zhao Zilong and Gan Ningbing to divide into two routes, all the way down the river to attack Baidi City, Badong, Kuiguan, and Linjiang, and then go to Fuling, Bajun, Jiangyang, and go straight to Chengdu; The other way started from Shangyong and went straight to Hanzhong.

At this time, Hanzhong was the territory of Zhang Lu, who was the third-generation Heavenly Master of Wudou Midao, and was said to be the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, who was still the grandson of Zhang Ling.

Speaking of Zhang Ling, few people may know, but when it comes to Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, many people know.

Yes, this Zhang Tianshi, who was included in the Taoist immortal lineage and the founder of Zhengyi, was Zhang Lu's grandfather.

And Maoshan is a lineage, so Huang Shang, the descendant of Maoshan, should call Zhang Lu Shizu Zuzuzu......

Xu has such a relationship, when Huang Shang sent Zhao Zilong to attack Hanzhong, he deliberately told him to leave Zhang Lu's life, and bring it back to him when the time comes, and take a look at this ancestor and ancestor...... Do you have the ability to call for wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers?

If you really have this kind of ability, then you should have a good exchange, and it is good to leave some Maoshan Taoism in this world.

It doesn't matter if you don't, the Three Kingdoms World is still pure.

Although Zhao Zilong had a question mark in his head, he still kept this matter in mind, and when he attacked Hanzhong, he directly lined up the artillery and shouted: "Hanzhong Zhang Lu surrender quickly, otherwise the thunder will fall, and you will be called to die without a full body!" ”

“……”

Zhang Lu was very angry and yelled: "Don't come to this set!" If you have the ability, you can come here! ”

“……”

Zhao Zilong sighed, and said in his heart: Lord, it's not that the last general doesn't listen to orders, it's really Zhang Lu who is looking for death by himself, and the last general can only fulfill him.

"Fire!"

Boom –

…… I'm half a day......

Zhao Zilong looked at Zhang Lu, who was escorted over, and breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, the best of both worlds.

After Zhao Zilong captured Hanzhong, he first asked a small team to escort Zhang Lu to Jianye, and left a group of officials and garrison guards, and finally took the rest of the troops straight to Dingjun Mountain.

Dingjun Mountain, the history left the legend of the old Huang Zhongzhen beheaded Xiahou Yuan, at this time the defenders of Dingjun Mountain were a dragon set that did not deserve to have a name, and was ordered by Zhao Zilong, and was bombarded into slag.

After that, Zhao Zilong broke through Yangping Pass, Baima Pass, Baishui Pass, Jiange, Brazil, Xichong, Deyang, and Danqu all the way, and then chased Ganning from Bajun Shunjiang and went straight to Chengdu.

By the time Zhao Zilong arrived in Chengdu, Gan Ning was already waiting for him at the head of the city.

"Hahaha, Zilong, it seems that I am one step faster!"

Zhao Zilong smiled, he knew that after taking Yizhou, he was getting closer and closer to the peace of the world.

In the spring of the following year, Huang Shang entered the city of Chengdu, and Yizhou was completely brought under his rule.

Judging from the current map, Cao Cao's territory has fallen into his encirclement.

At the same time, he also knew that it was time for the northern cavalry to learn what a dimensionality reduction strike was.
