In September, Cao 'Cao' had already retreated to Yecheng and was stationed in Jizhou. Liu Xiu did not enter Jizhou immediately, but advanced steadily, and the armies under his command continued to harvest cities in various places to consolidate the existing results.

On the Yanzhou side, Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren sent troops and captured the entire Yanzhou.

In terms of Yuzhou, Tai Shici seized the entire Yuzhou.

Xuzhou and Qingzhou were taken by Huang Zhong and Lu Xun in one go.

Almost all the major states in the world are under Liu Xiu's control. After seizing the prefectures, the scholars of the Yingchuan Academy were continuously sent to various places to preside over the government affairs of each county, so as to subdue the localities.

To a great extent, this arrangement has stabilized the situation and consolidated the existing achievements.

The army all went north and eventually converged outside Jizhou.

In addition to rest, there is also the reorganization of the army, the digestion of prisoners, and the precipitation of the results obtained.

Liu Xiu is now a general trend.

As a result, Cao 'Cao' lost countless people's hearts. In addition, Liu Xiu himself was born in the clan, he was surnamed Liu's bloodline, and his identity occupied the righteousness, when his soldiers arrived in Jizhou, there was no resistance, and everything went smoothly.

On this day, in the barracks.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

In Liu Xiu's tent, Wen Ping, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Tai Shici and others were convened to discuss the matter. Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici all joined Liu Xiu. Only after Huang Zhong captured Qingzhou, he led his troops to station in the plain country of Qingzhou, preparing to cut into Jizhou from the east of Jizhou.

Liu Xiu looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, have you all rested properly?"

Wen Ping suppressed the 'agitation' in his heart, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, everything has been rested properly." After nearly two months of rest, all our soldiers have been reorganized, and the soldiers who have surrendered have also been properly arranged. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty, we can fight again." ”

Zhang Ren said: "Please give an order from Your Majesty." ”

During this time, Zhang Ren reorganized his legion. Although most of the recruits were recruits, the legion under Zhang Ren's command had been reorganized after all, and he was no longer a bare-bones commander.

Tai Shi Cizheng said: "Your Majesty, we have been waiting for a long time, and we have finally waited for the day of the decisive battle with Cao Cao. The unification of the world is imminent, and the last general asks to be the vanguard and lead the troops to Yecheng. ”

All of them were in high spirits and asked to join the war.

The commanders of the major legions all want to fight for the credit of destroying Cao Cao'. In their view, after the unification of the world, the war will gradually disappear. Without war, it would be impossible to make meritorious contributions.

For military generals, most of the credit is earned in times of war. Once the world is peaceful, the role of military generals will be weakened a lot. You can fight the world right away, but you can't rule the world right away. In the period of peace, civil officials played a major role.

Ma Chao said: "Your Majesty, please be the vanguard. ”

For Cao's '', he has always wanted to take revenge. In the past, Liu Xiu had sent him to infiltrate Cao Cao's rule, intending to incite rebellion and rebellion on Cao Cao's back and disturb Cao Cao's rear. It's a pity that Ma Chao didn't succeed. On the one hand, Ma Chao is not an expert in this area; on the other hand, under Cao Cao's rule, the officials are all capable people.

After the defeat, Ma Chao withdrew halfway and served under Liu Xiu. Now that the decisive battle is imminent, Ma Chao wants to be the vanguard and fight to the death with Cao Cao.

Liu Xiu looked at everyone and saw that they all had solemn expressions, knowing that in this last battle, the people under his command all wanted to participate in such a prosperous era.

He can understand the thoughts of the people.

Liu Xiu's gaze swept over, fell on Wen Ping, and ordered: "Wen Ping listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

Wen Ping stood up and saluted with his fists clenched.

Among all the people, Wen Ping was the first to follow Liu Xiu, and he was the old qualification of the Chu State.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "In the last battle, you are the chief general of the whole army. Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, and Tai Shici assisted you, and the four major armies joined forces to 'force' Yecheng and seize the capital of Wei. As for Huang Zhong, he ordered Huang Zhong and Lu Xun to speed up the progress of attacking Jizhou. ”

"Whoa!"

Wen Ping was excited.

It is a great honor for him to be the main general. Wen Ping got the order, and immediately began to perform the duties of the commander-in-chief, and issued orders to march one by one. In the last battle, with Zhao Yun as the vanguard, Wen Ping, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici led the army to follow, and went straight to Yecheng.

The army moved, and the mighty 'swing' and 'swing' were fierce and mighty. When Wen Ping led his troops north to Jizhou, the news of ordering Huang Zhong to send troops soon spread to the Plains Kingdom.

Plains Country, Plains County.

The place where Huang Zhong garrisoned.

Huang Zhong received the order to send troops and immediately sent someone to invite Lu Xun over.

Huang Zhong stroked the long white hair under his chin, and said: "Bo Yan, Your Majesty's order is here, let us attack Jizhou as soon as possible." Next, I was going to go north directly and attack Bohai County in Jizhou, what are your plans?"

Lu Xun led an army alone, not at the disposal of Huang Zhong. Therefore, Huang Zhong came to Lu Xun, not to order, but to ask Lu Xun to see what Lu Xun was going to do.

Lu Xun smiled: "General, let's cooperate again." ”

"How to cooperate?"

Huang Zhong asked.

Lu Xun's ability, Huang Zhong believes. Lu Xun is not very old, but when it comes to managing the army and sorting out government affairs, he is a rare talent.

Huang Zhong also admires such a person.

Lu Xun said unhurriedly: "It is not a difficult thing to go north from the sea route in the east of the Plains Country to the back of Jizhou. After all, this is in Jizhou and will not enter the deep sea. I intend to adopt the strategy of attacking Xuzhou again, and the general will move his army north and attack from the front. I led my troops by sea and went to the rear of Bohai County to kill. When the time comes, you and I will converge and seize Bohaijun. Then, we will go to Yecheng in the west and join Your Majesty. ”

"Good!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, the benefits are not only in cooperation, but also in the absence of conflict.

Huang Zhong wants to make meritorious contributions, and Lu Xun also wants it.

It was only to attack the eastern part of Jizhou, but two corps were used, which can be described as killing 'chickens' with knives. Now the two of them are sending troops, one by land and the other by sea, which can not only complete the joint attack, but also perform their own duties.

When Huang Zhong and Lu Xun acted separately, the vanguard led by Zhao Yun was invincible and 'forced' Yecheng.

All the way, no one can stop it.

The news quickly spread to Yecheng and to Cao's ears.

Today's Cao '' shows his old state. In just two months, Cao's hair was gray, and he seemed to be more than ten years old. In the face of Liu Xiu's attack, Cao 'Cao' was depressed, and he didn't know how to counterattack, and he seemed powerless.

Especially when Liu Xiu waved his army, his troops were about to come to the city, and Cao 'Cao' couldn't stop him.

Even if Cao 'Cao' arranged for Sima Yi to go to Luoyang's dark chess, but at this point, Sima Yi's role was minimal. Even if Sima Yi got pumpkin seeds, they would not be of much use.

Because, Liu Xiu is about to come to the city.

Cao 'Cao' instructed the soldiers to summon his civil ministers and military generals to the main hall to discuss matters. When everyone gathered, Cao 'Cao' looked at the officials under his command and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu led the army into Jizhou and is heading to Yecheng to kill. According to the latest news, the eastern part of Jizhou was also attacked by Huang Zhong, a general under Liu Xiu. Jizhou is in danger, what advice do you have?"

In the main hall, there was an uproar.

Everyone was talking, and their faces were full of panic.

Liu Xiu is here, how can he resist it?
