Chapter 391: Liu Zhang dies, Yizhou falls
"Old horseman, since you are unkind, don't blame me Cao Cao for not being emotional!"
Cao Cao frowned coldly and reprimanded angrily.
"Cao Mengde, the son of heaven is imprisoned, and everyone knows it. Don't pretend to be here, if you want to fight, I and the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command will never surrender! Liu Zhang plucked up his courage and reprimanded angrily.
He knew that Cao Cao had no siege equipment, and no matter how he shouted, Cao Cao could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Haha, just you Liu Jiyu, also worthy?" Cao Cao smiled heartily, and then said: "I know what you pay attention to, do you think that I don't have siege equipment, but you can't help you?" ”
"Boom!"
Yitian Sword was withdrawn, Cao Cao pointed at Liu Zhang, and snorted coldly: "Liu Zhang, if I Cao Cao can't do anything else, I am ruthless, and I am a heinous butcher, from today on, if you don't open the city and surrender for a day, I will slaughter 10,000 people in a day!" ”
"Doesn't everyone in the world scold me for Cao Cao's lack of virtue? In that case, let the world see it clearly. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the city.
Liu Zhang took two steps back in a daze, his face was full of disbelief, his chest was trembling with anger, and he pointed at Cao Cao and roared: "Cao Mengde, you, how dare you!" ”
"Hehe, I Cao Cao don't dare to do anything!"
"I'll let it go, if you don't open the city gate at this time tomorrow, let the people of Yizhou take you to bear this sin!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, and immediately waved his hand to turn the chariot around the horse's head.
Watching Cao Cao leave slowly, all the civil and military forces in the city were stunned and didn't know what to do!
"Lord, what should I do now?" On the side, the six gods of Wenchen asked.
"Yes, my lord, do you really want to watch Cao Cao's thieves slaughter the people of Yizhou? The people are innocent! Another Wenchen said with pity.
"I don't know, I don't know!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand, and then lost his mind and left.
He didn't know what to do, he thought that Cao Cao would do everything he could to break the city, but this trick hit him seven inches, it hurt too much, most of the soldiers in the city were the people around him,
If Cao Cao is really to be slaughtered for a few days, then the city is estimated to have to mutiny!
In the general mansion, Liu Zhang sat there blankly!
After a long time, Zhang Du spoke: "Lord, Cao Cao has always been ruthless, and he slaughtered in Xuzhou several times, which made Surabaya not stay, slaughtering more than 100,000 people, I am worried"
"Are you worried that he will also deal with the people of Yizhou like this?" Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Du and asked,
Although Liu Zhang was deaf, he couldn't see the people die because of him, and there were also tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Chengdu in later generations, and the high walls of the city could be garrisoned for a period of time, but he directly chose to surrender.
After all, if Yizhou fights for a few years, it will inevitably become a scorched earth!
"Anthracene!" Zhang Du nodded.
"Zhang Du, do you think I should surrender? If he doesn't surrender, then Cao Cao will definitely not let go of Yizhou, and he will not let go of the people of Yizhou, and the people of Yizhou will be implicated because of me! ”
Liu Zhang was a little shaken,
30,000 people, although it can be held for a year and a half, but what is the meaning?
"Lord, don't surrender, that Cao Cao is ruthless, whoever surrenders, I'm afraid there will be no good end!" Zhang Du said hoarsely.
"Zhang Du, even if Chengdu can hold on, it can involve so many people for no reason, I can't bear it. What's more, now that the autumn harvest is imminent, if the war continues, it will be the people who will suffer and starve! ”
Liu Zhang's heart was sour, and there was no point in fighting.
"Your lord, you."
"Go down, I'll think about it one by one!" Liu Zhang waved his hand, his expression was gloomy, if it was just the whole battle, he still wanted to give it a try, but now Cao Cao is directly using the people as a threat, how can he turn a blind eye?
"No!" Zhang Du nodded and slowly retreated.
sighed in his heart, he probably guessed Liu Zhang's thoughts, but no one expected Cao Cao to come out like this, this is a way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
However, it also proves that Cao Thief is ruthless!
————
There was no word all night, and Yizhou City was silent all night.
Liu Zhang did not dispatch, all the civil and military forces had their own ghosts, and as for the people in the city, they were all trembling and huddled at home, only hoping that this catastrophe would pass quickly, and there would be their food outside the city.
The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as the sky was bright, Cao Cao had already let people arrest 10,000 old and weak women and children, and they were escorted outside the city, and these old and weak women and children naturally knew that their fate was death.
And Cao Cao also told them that the only way to live was for Liu Zhang to surrender in the city, and for a while, these 10,000 people felt compassion for heaven and earth, and the sound of crying and begging for mercy was endless.
I have to say that Cao Cao's move has a very good effect.
At the head of the city, countless defenders were all shaken, because it was very likely that there were their relatives and loved ones under the city, and these people were all praying, begging, hoping that Liu Zhang would surrender!
The voice lasted for a long time, and Liu Zhang already knew it.
Last night, he didn't sleep all night, at this moment, he dragged his tired body slowly, and as soon as he reached the top of the city, he saw countless armor soldiers looking at him, with pleading in their eyes,
As if to say, save those people.
Slowly walked to the head of the city, looked down, most of the people caught were women and children, and there were many old men with dark faces, these people seemed to see Liu Zhang at this moment, looking at Liu Zhang with a pair of simple eyes,
There are also many sounds of children crying,
Liu Zhang's fists couldn't help clenching a little, his heart was angry, Cao Cao really did what he said, and even escorted the person he wanted to kill over early in the morning, he was sure that he didn't say that all these 10,000 people would be killed!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's heart was a little heavier.
Originally, he was just guarding Chengdu, but now his decision is related to the life and death of thousands of people, which makes Liu Zhang's heart tremble, he doesn't dare to make a decision, he doesn't want to make a decision.
But he gradually lost himself,
He no longer knows if he still has the need to persevere, what is the need to persevere? He didn't even know.
At this moment, under the head of the city.
Cao Cao also got up very early, and when he saw Liu Zhang ascending to the top of the city, Cao came on horse, with a smile on his face, and shouted: "Ji Yu, are you still satisfied with these gifts?" ”
"You should have heard their heart-rending cries, right? But this is just the beginning, remember, 10,000 a day, I want to see how many days you Liu Zhang can last. ”
The words fell, and Liu Zhang did not say anything in the city.
Cao Cao saw that his heart was loose, and immediately said: "Ji Yu, this time you surrender, the people of Yizhou know that you Liu Jiyu is willing to surrender for the sake of the entire Yizhou people, which may be passed down through the ages." ”
"But if you are obsessed, the people of Yizhou will die because of you, and you will become sinners through the ages. If you are willing to surrender, I, Cao Cao, swear hereby to guarantee you glory and wealth for the rest of your life. ”
Liu Zhang took a deep breath, looked at the many people, as well as the soldiers behind him, and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I, Liu Jiyu, am sorry for everyone, I have been in power for all these years, although I have not brought anything substantial to the big guys, but I have also maintained you as much as possible." ”
"In this battle, I originally intended to fight, but I can see you waiting, and I feel ashamed."
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head, which was regarded as an apology.
The people were a little dazed and looked at Liu Zhang silently.
"Cao Mengde, it's okay to open the city and surrender, but I don't need to be glorious and rich, I just ask you to let go of my family, let the people of Yizhou go, let the people of Yizhou be safe and sound, and keep them safe!"
Liu Zhang looked at Cao Cao and said solemnly.
"It's nature, it's nature. Your family is my family, your son is my son of Cao Mengde, I will treat it as my own, and there will be no two hearts. ”
"As for the people of Yizhou, after you surrender, the people of Yizhou are also my Cao Cao's people, how can you not keep them safe?" Cao Cao patted his chest boldly and assured.
"Cao Cao, I hope you don't break your promise!"
"Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!" Liu Zhang glared at Cao Cao viciously and scolded angrily.
"My lord, no!"
"Lord, are you really going to surrender?"
"Lord, there is still in the city"
Without waiting for these chaotic voices to finish, when everyone thought that Liu Zhang was going to open the city and surrender, they saw him step over the wall, the breeze blowing, and the robes were hunting.
Liu Zhang looked down at the world and showed a relieved smile.
Immediately after, he let out a hearty laugh and jumped down!
"Lord!"
Countless shouts rang out at the same time.
Everyone didn't expect that Liu Zhang would jump off the building directly to beg for death, jumping so high, almost certain death, many people sighed, and some even mourned in silence.
As for the people outside the city, they wept and bowed their heads.
That Liu Zhang jumped off the city tower and died, because he died for them.
Zhang Du looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh, and didn't say much, maybe this is the best destination for Liu Zhang.
And Liu Zhang himself knows that if he lives, Cao Cao will not be at ease, and he may be forced by the situation to let him live for a few years, but in a few years he and his relatives will be persecuted.
Rather than this, it is better to know in advance,
In this way, Cao Cao will be completely relieved and not trouble his wife and children!
"Hehe, old horseman, it's easy to worry if you die, so as not to ...... later!" On the war horse, Cao Cao chuckled lightly and replied as if he was still an acquaintance.
Whoa,
Whoa!
Outside the city, countless people slowly knelt down at this moment, showing grief on their faces one by one, then Liu Zhang could be regarded as dying for them, otherwise he could have held on for a while.
At the head of the city, countless soldiers also knelt down in unison,
Although Liu Zhang was stupid and incompetent, his nature was not evil, and even in order to avoid the tragic death of the people, he jumped down without hesitation.
"Congratulations to the lord, all according to Yizhou, and one step closer to winning the world!" Guo Jiaxun and the two glanced at each other, and said with their fists in unison.
At present, Cao Cao's strength is not weaker than Chu Feng, Chu Feng has the Jianghuai moat, and there are countless boat masters, but Cao Cao also has the risk of four passes, has the advantage of geographical advantages, and also occupies the geographical advantage.
And Chu Feng now only has Jingzhou and Yangzhou under his command, and by the way, he barely counts half of Xuzhou, and Jiaozhou, but Xuzhou is sparsely populated, and Jiaozhou is even more deserted.
"Congratulations, my lord!" The subordinates shouted in unison.
One by one, they are also eager to try, and Cao Cao's power has gone further, and they are also beneficiaries.
People such as Wu Yi and Deng Xian also smiled and secretly rejoiced that this battle was definitely Wu Yi's first achievement, and they would have a good time in the future, but fortunately they surrendered, otherwise they would not have been able to gain any benefits if they surrendered at this time.
Cao Cao had a smile on his face, he didn't expect that the Battle of Yizhou would go so smoothly and be completely victorious in less than a month.
"Lord, you can't take it lightly at the moment, you should immediately send someone to recover the entire territory of Yizhou, and you should also send someone to regain the customs to prevent the Chu army from advancing westward."
Guo Jia put away his smile and hurriedly suggested.
He had heard earlier that Liu Zhang had contacted Chu Feng, and it was so fast that it ended like a blitzkrieg, and it should be too late to receive it now!
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable!" Cao Cao nodded.
"Lord, the last general asks for his life, and he is willing to lead the army to garrison Yufu and never lose an inch of land!" Xu Huang stepped forward with a big axe and said with a solemn expression.
"Good! Gongming, you will lead 10,000 troops, and I will be stationed at Yufuguan, and Deng Xian will be the deputy general, and I will go with you! Cao Cao opened his mouth heartily, Xu Huang is both civil and military, and it is very suitable to garrison Yufuguan.
"No!" Xu Huang immediately responded.
"Wu Yi and Xiahou Yuan obeyed the order, and the two of you each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to recover the counties and counties of Yizhou, and they must be completed around the autumn harvest, and after the autumn harvest, there is still a tough battle to be fought!" Cao Cao squinted, revealing a dignified look.
Liu Zhang can only be regarded as a little minion, the most important thing is to take down Chu Feng, that Chu Feng is very weird, especially when he learned that Chu Feng's identity is not ordinary, it makes Cao Cao unable to sleep at night, I am afraid that only by completely defeating Chu Feng can it be relieved.
"No!" The two of them responded in unison.
As he spoke, the city gate in the distance slowly opened.
The first to come out was Liu Zhang's son, I saw him slowly walking out of the city with Liu Zhang's family, and his colleague held a big seal high above his head, looking frightened and sad.
"Go, follow me into the city!" Cao Cao spoke, and immediately his own soldiers quickly stepped forward and began to occupy various key roads, just in case.
Approaching, Cao Cao turned over and dismounted.
Liu Xun held the big seal high and shouted: "Supply the prime minister to enter the city." ”
"Liu Xun's nephew, don't be polite, you and your father are worthy of the respect of 10,000 people for the safety of the people of Yizhou, and I will show your majesty later, and title you as General Zuo, lead Zhongnan Hou, and be hereditary forever." Cao Cao took the big seal, but his heart was secretly cool, Yizhou finally arrived.
"The little nephew thanked the prime minister!" Liu Xun arched his hand.
"Come on, go and dispose of Liu Zhoumu's body, choose a day to bury it, I will personally see off Ji Yu, and in addition, build a temple outside Chengdu for me, named after Ji Yu, to pay tribute to Ji Yu's spirit in the sky!" Cao Cao said with a solemn face,
By doing this, he can win people's hearts, second, he can control Yizhou as soon as possible, and third, he will not arouse the disgust of the loyal and brave people under Liu Zhang's command, killing three birds with one stone.
"Cao Gong is kind, and the state pastor will rest in peace!"
Behind Liu Xun, all the civil and military officers glanced at each other, and all of them slapped their horses and said, Next, Yizhou has changed, and it depends on Cao Cao whether they can work well or not.
As for the disobedience? That must be against your will!
After all, Liu Zhang, to put it bluntly, was killed by Cao **.
