Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 485 - Nanyang Death Battle

"Newspaper~"

Just when this Xiangyang City was breached, and Liu Bei's army drove straight in, and the soldiers and horses directly suppressed the Cai family and suppressed everything, there was also some movement in Nanyang County at the same time.

An army under the banner of Cao Zi appeared in the north of this Nanyang County.

And it is rushing towards the heart of Nanyang County at a rapid speed, and the cities and fortresses along the way, and even the camps set up by the Jingzhou army are almost unprepared.

didn't intend to have any defense, so he was taken down by this Cao army almost bloodlessly.

drove all the way in, and this Cao Jun saw that it was already approaching Nanyang County's county governance Wancheng!

At this time, the herald also came to the front of the general of the Cao army again.

"General Xiahou, we are only more than ten miles away from Wancheng, and General Li Dian, the general of the forward, asks for an order, do you need to temporarily stop moving forward and set up camp!"

At this time, the commander of this army is the henchman general under Cao Mengde, and he is also the real favorite general, Xiahoudun!

Although this Xiahoudun is really a little unskilled in the art of war, it does not prevent his ability from still being very outstanding, especially in this person's heart.

And then there's the logistics.

Therefore, no matter where Cao Mengde goes out, he is the heavy general of this army!

This time, his contribution to pacifying Hebei is also quite heavy, and he also helped Cao Mengde recruit a lot of young talents.

helped Cao Mengde stabilize the situation in Hebei and other places, which can be said to be a great contribution.

And when the Hebei War just stopped, this Xiahoudun did not have any time to rest, and immediately came to Yuzhou again with his henchmen and his military advisor Tian Chou and others.

Replaced Cao Mengde as the general of the southern expedition to Jingzhou... This is the absolute commander of the division.

At this time, after hearing the scout's words, Xiahoudun couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he had thought of something not very good, and looked directly at the person beside him.

"Zitai, what do you think?"

When Xiahoudun spoke, he looked at a middle-aged scribe in a plain robe not far from him.

It was also his number one strategist who went to Jingzhou this time, Tian Chou, a famous man in Youzhou.

Speaking of which, this Tian Chou is really very capable, this time Cao Mengde's battle of Hebei was able to pacify Youzhou and even the Wuhuan people outside Youzhou so quickly.

The credit of this field is definitely quite powerful!

It was he who helped Cao Mengde make up his mind at the critical moment and pointed out the way to attack Wuhuan, which allowed Cao Mengde to finish his work.

Although this battle was fought by the soldiers, Zhang Liao and Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight desperately and finally won Wuhuan.

This made Cao Mengde not fall into a year-long or even years-long battle like Liu Xie in Bingzhou, and he spent countless money and food and failed to do his best.

But as far as this battle is concerned, no one can hinder this Cao Mengde, but it is this Wuhuan outside the fortress that occupies the right time, place, and people.

They are almost insoluble outside the fortress, and even if they can win a big victory, they cannot be completely suppressed.

The critical moment was the appearance of Tian Chou that made this matter turn for the better, and directly helped Cao Mengde succeed in the sneak attack, so even Cao Mengde must admit it.

Zhang Liao and Cao Chun made great contributions in this battle, but Tian Chou was the real first merit.....

Of course, this Tian Chou is not only meritorious to make Cao Mengde like it very much, this guy is also a real Youzhou celebrity.

One person can withstand the kind of group that Liu Xie got from Hebei....

Tian Chou was born in a wealthy family, but he was also a hermit!

This guy was engaged in Liu Yu's work back then, and he was the one who made Liu Yu very important.

Of course, he is also very loyal and convincing to Liu Yu, and the two of them can be regarded as a monarch and a minister.

Liu Yu unfortunately died in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao both sent invitations to this Tian Chou at the same time, wanting Tian Chou to serve his life.

But in the face of their attention and conquest, this Tian Chou just interrupted them with a sneer, and then directly took his family to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

But it was not a simple impulse for him to do this, from taking his family to Cao Mengde's entry into this Youzhou land.

What was once a family of hundreds of people has now become a full 5,000 families living and working in peace and contentment.

In Youzhou, a place where people starved to death and ate each other after years of war, this field not only did not let its people starve and freeze with him.

did not let them follow their poverty, and even led them to grow stronger.

built the dock fort in Youzhou, found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, enough to protect itself, and then absorbed displaced people from all walks of life to continuously expand their power.

In the end, he also set up his own laws in this dock fort, had his own soldiers and horses, and even had his own "officials" to help manage the people....

Everything is so well organized, a city of 5,000 households, even if it is placed in the world, it is definitely a large county population.

But does this mean that his own ability is a county order?

Of course not, because his 5,000 households did not wait for 5,000 households to settle down by himself, but grew to 5,000 households in the troubled times.

To put it simply, this guy can protect himself in troubled times, and at the same time, he can also strengthen himself more than ten times.

This talent is no longer described by the county magistrate.

This kind of talent should not be said to be this Cao Mengde, when Liu Xie had just made achievements, he had already sent people to find the other party again and again.

Not for anything else, just to find this guy by his side.

Just imagine, if he can make his Chang'an's city expand tenfold in a short period of time, then he, Liu Xie, will solve the countless problems that plague him.

If he can make this Yongliang... The strength of the Sanfu Land of Yongzhou has expanded tenfold, then Liangzhou will completely collapse, and even Hanzhong will not be able to continue.

At that time, Liu Xie will not only increase in strength, but can even easily take the entire northwest and even Hanzhong, and open up the gateway to the land of Bashu!

But it's a pity that this guy not only fell in love with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, but even he Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, didn't get into his eyes.

This time, it's really embarrassing.

Although Liu Xie was helpless in his heart, he could only tell everyone with an embarrassed smile in the end that this was just an accident.

What everyone didn't expect was that after Cao Mengde got Hebei and Na Tian Chou offered him advice, he once again rejected Cao Mengde's recruitment!

He rejected Cao Mengde!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Liu Xie himself had to sigh with emotion, this guy called Tian Chou was a real ruthless person.

He's the kind of guy who really doesn't look down on anyone.

In the face of Cao Mengde's repeated rewards and recruitment, he repeatedly refused.

This is not pretending to be high, nor is it trying to sell at a price, because with his behavior, he has completely offended Cao Mengde to death.

Even Cao Mengde himself is a little unable to be recruited....

Among the Cao army, there are even more people who are full of opinions about this guy openly and secretly, and even want Cao Mengde to punish him.

In the face of this situation, even if someone wants to say that this home wants to be sold at a price, when they see this scene, they can only praise it...

However, this Tian Chou is even more unexpected, and what makes people incomprehensible is that he rejected Yuan Shao, looked down on Gongsun Zhan, should not be recruited by Liu Xie, and avoided Cao Cao's conquest and reward.

Such a person who looks "arrogant" is now fond of this Xiahoudun!

The one-eyed general, the meat ticket general....

Xiahoudun's ability is not bad, but Xiahoudun's reputation is not very good, and he has been a brave and even murderous master since he was a child.

He has never been a celebrity, and even no one, even himself, thinks that Xiahoudun will have anything to do with celebrities.

He likes to read and has a very good personality, but he is still not a celebrity, and he can't be a celebrity.

is such a person, but so many arrogant celebrities are convinced in their hearts and are willing to have a deep friendship with him!

The reason is that because of his persuasion, he joined the dispute that he did not want to join.

For example, the current field.

Others may really think that this is because Na Tian Chou has gotten away by himself, and then he wants to use Na Xiahou Xuan's idea to save the situation.

But Liu Xie knows very well that this is not Tian Chou's idea, this guy is a unique one in history.

After the Battle of Chibi, he still had absolute strength in Cao Mengde, and when Cao Mengde still valued him very much, he brazenly chose to leave.

This guy is a real hermit, and he doesn't want to have more dealings with Cao Mengde at all.

Perhaps for him, when he was in his twenties, his favorite career had disappeared with his favorite and most valued Liu Yu.

Now he just wants to live his own life.

As for whether it was selfishness or something else, he didn't care, it didn't matter!

Liu Xie can't do this, and he doesn't understand this, but it doesn't prevent him from admiring this kind of person.

He Liu Xie admired, and Xiahoudun also admired it very much, at this time, Xiahoudun listened to the battle report from the scout.

Knowing that Wen Ping, who was supposed to withdraw to Nanjun or attack Xinye and Fancheng under Cai Mao's order, appeared directly in Wancheng at this time.

And he also gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, so he knew that his battle would be over.

He couldn't help but look at Tian Chou on the side, and then didn't say anything, but the inquiring look had already made Tian Chou understand.

"General Xiahou doesn't have to think about it, now I've come to this point.

No matter where General Cao Ren goes in Yuzhou and Jiangxia, now we must wait.... War! ”
