Chapter 208: Shouchun City is broken, and Liu Bei fled
Yuan Shu's bloodshot eyes showed a look of panic from time to time.
"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."
The words kept echoing in his mind.
"A good one is ordered by the sky, and he will live forever!"
"Sadly, looking at today's situation, it may be really difficult for my Yuan Shu to have such a destiny......"
Yuan Shu suddenly remembered the dream in his early years.
He dreamed of a fat stag, and a group of heroes rushed towards the stag.
When he woke up in a dream, Yuan Shu was very confused, so he found a dream interpreter, and the man told him that the buck is the highway, and the one who is running is the princes of the world, and this dream indicates that the princes of all walks of life will follow Yuan Shu and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!
Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and from then on, he proclaimed himself the Chosen One.
After getting the jade seal of the country, his thoughts were further strengthened......
But now, he has been defeated like a mountain, and he can only lead a group of civil and military officials to retreat in Shouchun City......
Yuan Shu's eyes were cold, and he didn't feel sadness.
At this time, a huge rumbling sound suddenly sounded outside Shouchun City, like a huge thunderbolt.
Yuan Shu trembled and woke up like a dream.
Suddenly, a bloodied military general rushed in, causing a group of dancing girls and concubines to scream in fright.
"Lord!"
"Your Majesty!"
Yuan Shu sank suddenly, although he didn't recognize who this general was, but he saw the scribe Yan Xiang who was following this general.
This person had tried everything to prevent him from entering the throne, so he was belittled and reprimanded!
"Yan Xiang! What have you come to my palace to do? Could it be that you want to go to the enemy and harm me? ”
"Lord!"
Hearing this, Yan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Yuan Shu with great disappointment, "Lord, wake up!" ”
"Shou Chun...... City...... It's broken! ”
"No way! The city wall of Shouchun is 20 zhang high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, at least until next year! Yuan Yuan's breath trembled slightly, and he said in disbelief, "It's only been a few days of fighting, how can Shouchun City be broken!" ”
Hearing this, the general who came in knelt on the ground, his face full of hatred and despair, and said, "Your Majesty, Shouchun City has really been breached!" ”
"It's the first strategist under Cao Thief, the catapult developed by Xi Yu's guy!! The artillery was terrible, and it directly bombarded the city wall......"
"Cast ...... Stone carts?! When did the Cao thief actually have such an artifact? Yuan Shuhe had never heard of such a strange thing, and he was very puzzled in his chest, and he was even more desperate......
Seeing this, Yan Xiangbei came from it, very disappointed, and shouted at Yuan Shu, "Yuan Highway! ”
"You are the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, a famous family, I thought you were the master of Jiangnan, and you must have the heart of hegemony!"
"How did you expect you to be so absurd, mediocre and incompetent!"
During the scolding, Yan Xiang's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he was bound to reveal his dissatisfaction over the years.
Yan Xiang had already been extremely disappointed by Yuan Shu's anger, and he tried his best to dissuade Yuan Shu from entering the throne, but Yuan Shu didn't listen and had to enter.
Now it is an enemy on three sides, and the world will kill it!
What a stupid and stupid move!
"Bastard! Yan Xiang, you are a lowly Confucian student, you dare to commit such a crime, so disrespectful to me! ”
Yuan Shu was extremely angry, slapped the armrest, got up and walked down the dragon chair with his sword, and approached Yan Xiang step by step.
"Shhh
Yan Xiang suddenly felt extremely frightened, and Yuan Shu suddenly slashed at his shoulder with a sword, and blood burst out immediately.
It's just that this sword Yuan technique was too violent, and the whole person suddenly felt exhausted, and suddenly fell to the ground, but he struggled to stand up slowly, and then brandished his sword and slashed towards the dancing girl and the concubine.
"Where to run! , hurry up and go to Huangquan with me! ”
Yuan Shu was extremely desperate, terrifying as a god of death, he picked up the long sword and chased wildly towards the dancing girl, and the bloodied general was dumbfounded for a while.
The plot in front of me is really terrifying and terrifying, and it is even more unbelievable.
This is still the same ...... Is Yuan Highway, who was born in a famous family, rich in strategy, and a corporal of Lixian?
Today, it's no longer the case.
After the once famous family, he is completely crazy at the moment!
Yuan Shu was indeed crazy, and he no longer had any intention of running away.
He just wants to kill all his family members and inner servants, and never leave any chance for Cao Thief to be whipped!
"You, General He Fang, I order you to set fire immediately! Set! ”
"Burn me to death in the palace, I want this Shouchun City to be buried with me, and never leave it to Cao Apu!"
"Set fire to me!!"
Yuan Shu roared, waving his long sword wildly with both hands, desperately stabbing sword after sword into the sky, making a piercing sound.
……
Half an hour later, the tall city wall of Shouchun City collapsed with a bang, and Shouchun City was broken.
The Yuan Shu garrison in the city was defeated and retreated, and it was difficult to resist Cao Cao's fierce iron hooves.
A group of black heavy armored cavalry entered the city like a raging storm, and quickly killed all the soldiers in the city who resisted the defenders, and then quickly opened the city gate.
The general who commanded the cavalry looked handsome, his expression was calm, and he was full of murderous energy, and his battle robes had already been stained red with blood, even if he just looked at each other, it could make people shudder.
The black iron cavalry quickly carved a straight path through the crowd and rushed towards the Shouchun Palace, which was a sea of fire.
These cavalry are Xi Yu's assassination squad, and the commander is Zhao Yun.
"Number one! You lead the odd-numbered black riders straight to the right, I kill to the left, and then we meet in front of the palace! ”
"Command!"
The assassination team is ranked in order from one to one hundred according to their combat strength, and the number one person in this row is, of course, the person second only to Zhao Yun in strength.
According to Zhao Yun's order, the assassination team immediately divided into two routes, each cavalry had a spear, and they rode war horses to charge quickly, and when they got close, they immediately changed to powerful crossbows that could be fired continuously.
"Whoosh ......"
The firing continued, and all the cavalry defending the city who came to stop almost fell off their horses and died on the spot.
The assassination team sprinted in front to slaughter and open the way, and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry followed closely behind, quickly slaughtering into Shouchun City, where all the Yuan troops were crushed and fled for their lives.
In the previous battles, Yuan Jun had already been frightened by the assassination team and the tiger and leopard cavalry!
……
At this moment, on a high mountain in the distance, several people were carefully observing the battle of breaking the city in Shouchun City.
These three people are the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
Seeing the Shouchun Palace being swallowed up by everyone, Liu Bei couldn't help but nod in surprise.
"It's really Cao Cao, second brother and third brother, do you still remember the power of that catapult."
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said softly, "How can you not remember?" The catapult was simply a huge thunder shock, and everywhere it went, the rocks collapsed, and the destructive force was terrifying. ”
"What's even more terrifying, such a delicate and huge weapon, then Cao Cao actually has five of them."
Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, after all, my fortune is not enough, if I can get a strategist like Xi Yu, why is it so ...... now?"
Every time he thought of this, Liu Bei felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel that he had missed too much.
It's like this powerful catapult, if only the design drawings were stolen from the design institute of the baggage camp.
That is, Liu Bei is still in Xuchang, but he has already had such thoughts more than once.
If you can successfully get a number of drawings from the design institute, you will be able to get a large number of research and development things presided over by Xi Yu.
But Liu Bei still lacked courage after all, he knew that the design institute was heavily guarded, and the five hundred soldiers of the heavy battalion stationed in the design institute were all masters.
If you want to enter the design institute and steal the drawings, it is difficult to climb to the sky.
In Xuchang City, the Design Institute and the Tiangong Institute are the most mysterious, especially the Tiangong Institute, only Xi Yu can enter.
Liu Bei thought to himself that there were probably more fierce generals and even strategists deployed in it, and it must be extremely dangerous!
"Second brother, third brother, let's withdraw the army."
"What? Eldest brother! It took us a long time to gain a foothold near Shouchun City, so why did we withdraw our troops?! ”
"Yes, big brother! I still want to have a good drink! ”
Having said that, as long as Liu Bei thought of Xi Yu at this moment, his legs trembled.
Perhaps in the eyes of other princes, Xi Yu is just a strategist, although he has a slight swordsmanship, at most he is just in good shape.
But Liu Bei didn't dare to underestimate Xi Yu, after all, he had experienced the horror of Xi Yu up close.
In his opinion, this person is definitely the fierce general with the deepest hidden strength in Cao Ying.
If he fights in armor every day, he will be invincible.
"Withdraw the army, now Cao Cao must not let me go, I finally escaped, and I must not let him be arrested again."
Hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and no one knew how to answer.
After a while, Guan Yu had no choice but to sigh and said: "Big brother, if you withdraw the army, where should you and my brother go?" ”
Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, and now he had a plan, "Jingzhou." ”
"There are countless celebrities and generals in Jingzhou City, Liu Biao has promised to give me Xinye and Yucheng to reject Wancheng, so that as long as I recover Wancheng, I can lead Nanyang Taishou."
Liu Bei's eyes showed a glint of hope, which was the most feasible strategy for him at present.
Perhaps, in this Jingzhou City, he will have an unexpected gain.
"What? Wancheng?! Hearing this, Zhang Fei exclaimed, "Didn't Liu Biao's guy treat you as the second Zhang Xiu, brother?" ”
Zhang Fei usually looks reckless and has little strategy, but in fact, he is smarter than many generals.
Just from Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei had already seen through Liu Biao's thoughts in Jingzhou.
Guan Yu was quite surprised, "Third brother, this time in the land of Jingxiang, you have been accompanied by the eldest brother, why did you only learn about this now??" ”
Between the words, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, obviously reproaching Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei hurriedly smiled and said, "Second brother, don't blame the third brother, I didn't let him in, you know, the third brother has always acted impulsively, I'm worried that if he accidentally collides with Liu Biao, it will be worth the loss." ”
"Hehe, what the eldest brother said is reasonable." Zhang Fei smiled suddenly.
"Big brother, second brother, two brothers, look, Zilong has already killed madness in Shouchun City!"
As soon as Zhang Fei said this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu immediately looked at Shouchun City.
From a distance, the three of them saw that between the high-rise pavilions, Zhao Zilong was like a god of war.
I saw that he was holding a spear, invincible, and all the Yuan Shu soldiers and horses wearing armor, even if they were holding sharp blades and struggling to resist, but in front of Zhao Zilong, it was difficult to resist at all.
With Zhao Zilong's figure shuttling rapidly, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were directly destroyed and killed without leaving a piece of armor.
Looking at Zhao Zilong from a distance as if he was in a no-man's land, invincible, Liu Bei felt a faint pain in his heart.
Alas, this brave and warlike Zhao Zilong should have been owned by me Liu Bei!!
It's a pity, it's even more hateful!
Soon, Shouchun City was breached, and the Yuan Shu Dynasty fell.
……
It has existed for less than two months, which is too short, and in this chaotic era of chaos when the princes are fighting, it is just a short-lived puppet imperial force.
The Yuanshu Dynasty collapsed in just two months, and the Yuanshu clan lost face.
However, Yuan Shao took advantage of this opportunity to solve Gongsun Zan in Youzhou in the north.
The white horse general, who was once a powerful party, had to trap himself in the building in the end, and after killing all his family members, he killed himself in hatred.
This is very similar to Yuan Shu's death.
So far, the two forces that once rose together and helped each other are moving towards the road of strength.
The fight between each other also began to open up.
After being breached, Shouchun City had to be rebuilt, and Cao Cao personally sat in charge, and at the same time attracted the first strategist Xi Yu.
Xi Yu set off from the grain station and walked with Guo Jia, and Xun Yu walked with Xi Zhicai.
Cheng Yu and Cao Ren came from Xiaopei, and Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others were also among them.
Up to now, Xuzhou, Yangzhou North, Yanzhou, three and a half prefectures, cities with a population of one million are all in the hands of Cao Cao.
How powerful is that!
Cao Cao was very happy and held a celebration banquet for this.
At night, at the banquet, Cao Cao drank and talked happily, unabashedly praising Zhao Zilong and the assassination team, and his love was beyond words.
"Zilong, your assassination team can be called a soldier of the world!!"
Cao Cao tonight was in a very good mood, and between his words, he did not hesitate to love Zhao Yun.
"Zilong is such a fierce general! Let's find out the second person today! ”
Hearing this, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were immediately very unhappy in their hearts, and the two were very unconvinced, "Lord, I can't be convinced by what you say, if you want to talk about martial arts, we definitely don't belong to Zhao Zilong!" ”
"Hehe......" Cao Cao smiled slightly when he heard this: "You two are a couple." ”
"My lord, what do you say? How can I be a couple with this reckless man? Dian Wei's mouth was stuffed with meat, and he munched on the meat, very displeased.
The posture of using food is really rude, and Huang Zhong's eating appearance is slightly elegant.
Xi Yu didn't interject, just buried himself in food.
However, Xi Yu is the person who eats the most, plus Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Zhao Yun, these four people eat meat and drink more than the food of twenty or thirty people...
If Cao Cao is strong now, I am afraid it will be difficult to support these four people.
When Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu saw Xi Yu drinking and eating meat like this, they could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.
"Fengyi this ......"
A few years have passed, and Xi Yu finally stopped competing with their ordinary civil servants for credit, but he didn't expect him, and now all the generals are obeying him.
At the end of the war, when the merit was rewarded, the work of planning and transporting grain still fell into the hands of Xi Yu.
Even the killing skills of a group of generals are counted on his head.
This really made Xun You's heart difficult to balance, but Xi Zhicai had already seen it.
"Zhicai, I have ordered you to ask someone to invite Liu Bei to come and eat, why don't you see Xuande?"
Cao Cao asked suddenly.
At this time, Xi Yu immediately raised his head and replied: "Brother, you don't know, Liu Bei has already run away." Hehe, he finally came out of Xuchang, how could he run back again? ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "How can Xuande be like this?" He is the general of the Han Dynasty, I have asked the Son of Heaven to summon him, and now is the time to invite merit and reward, and gain fame in the world, how can he run? ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Lord, Fengyi, after all, Uncle Liu Huang is the general of the Han Dynasty, I can't wait to force it, but I have already sent someone to invite Uncle Liu Huang, you can rest assured that ......"
"Report!"
Suddenly, a panicked cavalryman ran outside the tent, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Liu's camp is empty, I don't know where to go!" ”
"What?!"
Cao Cao stood up suddenly, incredulous.
"Is he really willing to leave behind such a reward? Didn't he want to help the Han family? Could it really be that he ran away? ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Yu suddenly looked at his brother, "Big brother, what did you just tell me?" ”
"This ......" the corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth twitched suddenly.
Xi Zhicai wanted to say that he could rest assured that Liu Bei would never run.
Now no one knows that Liu Bei showed the Han family the world as his own responsibility, which was the foundation of his life.
Who would have thought that Liu Bei would run away, but now that the words are on his lips, Xi Zhicai can only swallow it back.
"Ran away?! I can't imagine that Liu Xuande is so despicable! ”
Xi Yu suddenly laughed and said, "I had already asserted that Liu Bei was too much to use. ”
"Although I don't know how Liu Bei decided to leave, I conclude that there must be someone in Xuchang who will help him in this matter."
“……”
Cao Cao glanced at Xi Yu faintly.
Although it was inconvenient to say anything at this time, he still couldn't help but wonder, "Liu Bei really has the heart of grand ambition and hegemony?" ”
"Of course." Xi Yu was very sure.
Cao Cao's face was slightly gloomy, he thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Even if he has the heart of hegemony, it doesn't matter......"
"At the beginning of the war, I had no one to use for a while, and his second and third brothers were in charge of Xiaopei's soldiers and horses, if the court ordered it, he might not be able to send troops wholeheartedly."
"But even if he wanted to run, there would be nowhere to go."
"Haha......"
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang, who was in the penultimate seat, suddenly whispered, but he smiled and did not speak.
Originally, he was supposed to sit at the end of the seat, but for some reason, Jia Xu voluntarily insisted on sitting at the end of the seat.
"Your Excellency is ......," Cao Cao squinted at Zhuge Liang.
This person looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had never seen him, but this person had an excellent temperament and a very upright atmosphere.
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel in his heart that Xi Yu's command was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
"In Xia Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming, I have seen Cao Gong."
Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "What is your intention by chuckling and not saying anything?" ”
"Cao Gong understands." Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, calmly and calmly, and said: "There is no sarcasm in the following, but I just sigh that Uncle Liu Huang, although he is based on benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, he does not dare to stick to this book." ”
"Uncle Liu Huang made the merit of killing the puppet emperor, but he didn't dare to receive the reward of the Son of Heaven, it was really ...... It's embarrassing. ”
"Such a person, there is really a person with Wen Taowu strategy, you will know that this person is not the master, if you follow him, it will be difficult to settle down, how to talk about the grand plan and hegemony, how can people of insight in the world go to him, Cao Gong does not need to worry."
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words came out, Cao Cao's heart was very comfortable.
