Chapter 624 - Zhuge Kongming's counterattack

In the Han army camp in Julu County, Jizhou, Wang Jun, who had returned again, came to Zhuge Liang's side with everyone's smiles and bowed to Zhuge Liang.

Tell me about the task of my trip.

And after seeing Wang Jun, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Shizhi's trip is good, Liang can enter the land of Jizhou today, thanks to Shizhi acting secretly by Cao Zhen's side.

At this time, Liang should be His Majesty, and personally ask for merit for Shizhi..."

"If the prime minister says so, he is a shameful boy!" Wang Jun watched Zhuge Liang bow down at this time, and his humble attitude was completely different from being by Cao Zhen's side.

And looking at Wang Jun in front of him, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but nod again and again.

This person is the most important link under the joint plan of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang.

How to make Cao Zhen believe and step into this trap!

Hongnong Wang Jun, born in Hongnong wealthy family, has two thousand stones for generations... But that's not what he wants.

What Wang Jun wants is not for the family to appear again with a 2,000-stone county guard, what he wants is to become the most shining existence in the world, even if it is one of them.

But this thing... It's not so easy to do.

Before the age of seventeen, Wang Jun had always been a joke in his hometown, because his ambition was so big that even the neighbors thought the doll was crazy.

But Zhuge Kongming, who is close to Hongnong, doesn't think so.

He sent envoys one after another to meet with Wang Jun in private, and personally gave him some of the twenty-four articles on the art of war that he had compiled.

Hope it helps him.

At the same time, he exchanged secret letters with him and discussed knowledge with him.

From the initial fear and hesitation, to the last tirelessness, finally on the day Wang Jun received the expedition of Hedong County, he decided to meet the prime minister of the Han in private before going to work.

And this visit was thrown into his command.

The next thing is actually very simple, Cao Rong sent people around Zhuge Liang, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to use the same method.

It's just that his methods are more mature than Cao Ei, after all, his purpose is not to assassinate anyone.

It was to lure that Cao Zhen into the land of Bingzhou step by step.

Then create an opportunity for him to attack Jizhou.

From the moment Wang Jun entered Cao Zhen's eyes through Wuqiu Jian, he offered advice to persuade Tuoba Li to enter the land of Kou and the state.

Stalling the battle and waiting for His Majesty's death.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Han Dynasty, the counterattack and the annexation of the state....

The step-by-step plan was personally worked out by Zhuge Liang to ensure that Cao Zhen and the others could not see any problems.

At the same time, it also ensured the victory of this battle.

"Now Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu, Guangping, and Zhao County in Jizhou have all been conquered by us.

That Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses pressed into the court, and they could break through Wei County and Dong County at any time...

The army continued to attack, attacked Anping, took Hejian, and completely blocked Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses in the land of Youzhou! ”

"No!"

"Ordered Guan Xing Zhang Bao, and then summoned Jiangdong, so that Zilong and Wen Chang could attack Jianghuai.

Force Cao Xiu to fight with him! ”

Now that the situation has reached this point, Zhuge Liang certainly can't give Cao any respite.

For this battle, they paid a lord of Zhongxing.

If you can't do it all at once.... If the Cao family can't be completely covered up in this, how can Zhuge Kongming be worthy of Liu Xie's efforts over the years.

He should have been in the prime of life, he should have continued to be at the helm for the Han for decades, he should have ..... All he had left was his memory.

Over the years, too many people have died for the sake of the four words of Han Zhongxing.

In the end, this opportunity was exchanged, so Zhuge Kongming had to seize it!

Under Zhuge Kongming's will, the entire Hebei began to fight.

After more than ten years, this large net finally covered the Cao family, and then slowly tightened it.....

The Cao clan's war situation in Hebei was completely eroded.

Because of these reasons between Cao Zhen and Wang Jun, Hebei, which was originally full of soldiers and horses, has now really become overstretched.

Because Hebei at this time brought all the soldiers and horses into the external defense.

The previous situation really made Zhuge Kongming helpless, so that several Han troops attacking Hebei could only stay outside.

However, it has also formed a situation in which the outside is strong and the middle is the middle.

To tell the truth, when the Taihang Eight Paths were lost and Cao Zhen was unable to return to the army, the whole Hebei presented an extremely empty environment.

I was stunned that there was no real soldier and horse who could come and fight each other.... In other words, they couldn't muster a single army to support them.

This is like a joke for Hebei, which was strong at the beginning.

Not only that, Hebei is now a strong outsider, and a certain bandit outside the plug during this time also means not to stop at all.

This situation, coupled with the fact that the scourge of Elfang has been constantly mixed with Deng Yang in Jizhou and other places over the years, has led to the family tail in this Jizhou land.

And the most important thing is that the Cao family started from the Central Plains, among which the wealthy families of the Yingchuan lineage were already a little suspicious of the families in Hebei, and now they are even more jealous.

After all, Hebei is known as the land of Longxing of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the world, did not know how to do it, so the Hebei family supported it.

thus recaptured the world belonging to the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

This made the Cao family also love and hate the land of Hebei.

I want to recreate the old things of Emperor Guangwu, but I am afraid that this Hebei family will also have a big tail.

wants to use the Central Plains family to contain the other party, but he is worried that the two sides are too anxious, and the infighting is very serious.

In the end, this awkward situation was formed.

In this case, the wealthy families in Hebei are expanding their strength in order to protect themselves, while the Cao family is suppressing them in the officialdom to prevent them from continuing to expand their power indefinitely.

But he kept giving them hope so that they would not be completely suppressed.

If it had continued like this, in fact, this could have maintained this balance forever, but because Elfang gave too much, the price was too appropriate.

As a result, they raised too many people, so that the food and grass became more and more insufficient.

More land is needed to feed so many people.

If you want more land, you have to reach out to those people again.....

After all, now that Hebei has settled down, there are no more displaced people, and naturally there is not so much barren land for these wealthy families to take away.

And the most important thing in this is actually Elfang.

Because he holds the most important thing in it, which is slaves, or people!

When Elfang set the price of slaves to a very low price, a large number of wealthy families discovered something.

That is, it is more appropriate to have slaves than to feed the tenants.

The tenants gave them land to cultivate, and they also left them some food, so that the two sides reached a strange relationship.

The wealthy families sheltered and used the tenants, and the tenants relied on the wealthy families to live, and at the same time they were not so humiliated.

Even in some cases, it is easier for them to follow the wealthy family than to follow the imperial court.

But this is not the best choice for the wealthy family!

The appearance of Elfang made them realize that sometimes they didn't need to leave anything for others, or even shelter.

Collaboration and possession are two very different meanings.

It is because of Elfang's intervention that these wealthy families, even not only those in Hebei, finally discovered the biggest problem.

That is, these slaves who were bought back did not need dignity, let alone their own food and money.

In their minds, these are not things they can have.

Even themselves, which belong to their masters, can make them do all the things they want them to do with a whip and a bite of food.

And this group of people, even thanks to these wealthy families, actually gave them clothes and such "fine" rations....

This leads to the second consequence.

A large number of wealthy families have changed from the land and the people to only the land, and refuse the people to join.

For a time, although the land of Hebei seemed to be peaceful, there were countless more displaced people invisibly, and the boiling of people's grievances was really shocking.

It's a pity that in the face of strong enemies and the deception of many forces below, Cao Pi, who had already gone to Jiuquan and was hammered by Cao Mengde, didn't care.

Cao Rong, who has not stopped since he took the throne, has no scruples.

Until this time, Zhuge Liang entered the land of Hebei, which directly broke the quiet of the current land of Hebei and eliminated a large number of forces.

Collected a large number of bandits and bandits, and then broke through more than 40 dock forts along the way.

In front of the powerful ordnance and elite Han army, those soldiers and horses composed of slaves directly exposed a problem that had never been exposed.

That's cowardice!

They did not dare to confront the Han army, and even though the fort was strong, a large number of soldiers still fell under the incompetence of the soldiers.

Zhuge Liang cleared these dock forts, destroyed the barriers of these families, and re-divided the large amount of land in their hands.

But they were not completely exterminated.

Instead, after retaining their main lineage, let them start to enter the court and enter the official career again by virtue of their knowledge, as they did hundreds of years ago.

Of course.... The family classics in their families will also be in the Han Taixue today.

When this incident began, a large number of Hebei people seemed to see their hope, and rushed to surrender, not to mention, and even many cities were directly attacked by people.

So as to welcome the Han soldiers and horses into the city.

One city after another has been conquered, and those who refuse to surrender can't stop Zhuge Liang for much time, the lack of troops, the change of people's minds, and the huge gap in morale.

led to the rapid fall of Hebei.

Before Cao Zhen could completely return to the army, Zhuge Liang had already cut off all his ways back.

Completely blocked him in the land of Daijun.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao attacked again, and they rushed directly into the land of Youzhou with Liaodong soldiers and horses.

This time, several juniors of the Xiahou family were powerless to resist under the attack of Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and Wang Jun.

wanted to evacuate Hebei, but found that they were also blocked from returning home.

In the face of such a situation, Xin Xianying, a strange woman who is not inferior to men, and Wang Yi, the widow of the Zhao family, can only persuade the people around them to defend themselves.

And when Cao Zhen knew that the current commander of Zhuge Liang's partial division was actually Wang Jun, a young junior he was once extremely optimistic about.

All the doubts in my heart were immediately understood.

There was also a bitter smile on his face.

"It's funny... It's funny.... I never thought it would be like this..."

Cao Zhen, who wanted to understand how he had stepped into such a situation step by step, could no longer have any extra thoughts except for a bitter smile.

"The army... Offensive! ”

Cao Zhen gave an order, and Cao Jun, who had almost no reason to survive, began a frantic attack.

At the same time, Xiahou Xuan and others on the other side also began to attack, wanting to rush over from the side to join Cao Zhen.

In the face of such a "crazy" Cao army, Zhuge Liang directly took over the command, one army was on two sides, and Cao Zhen's attack was suppressed with one hand.

On the other side, all the offensive routes of Xiahou Xuan and others were blocked, and they resolutely did not let any of Cao Jun join Cao Zhen and others.

This time the war was very tragic.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Jiang Wei and others rushed over directly, plus Tian Yu and Xiang Pet and others all came to converge.

Encirclement and suppression of Cao Zhen's department.

The Han army under Zhuge Liang successively killed many generals such as Ma Yan, Suo Zhan, and Xi Yan.

Other lieutenants, Zhonglang and other middle-level generals lost more than 100 people.

The leaders of the Qiang people under the command of the Han army were even more deadly and wounded, and they were the most brave in killing, not to mention the repeated rush to kill, but also deeply influenced by Zhang Fei, only attacking but not defending.

At one time, dozens of Qiang leaders were killed or wounded, and nearly sixty percent were wounded.

But their death was exchanged for the annihilation of Cao Zhen's army.

Cao Zhen's Yan Zhi, Wang Ji, Xian Yuhei, Mu He and other famous generals were either killed or directly captured alive by the Han army.

Cao Zhen's two younger brothers, Cao Bin and Cao Fan, were killed in battle.

In addition to the eldest son Cao Shuang, who stayed in Luoyang, the second son Cao Xi and the third son Cao Xun died on the spot one after another.

Cao Ze and Cao Yan were also seriously injured, and finally failed to resist the past.

Only one child is still with Cao Shuang at home in Luoyang.

Finally, in July of the first year of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang looked at Cao Zhen, a famous general of the Cao clan who was already seriously injured to the point of dying, and was still struggling to support himself by being surrounded by heavy surrounds, and finally waved his feather fan.

"Today, Liang is seeing off His Majesty with the foundation of the Cao family!"

The first thing that Xinjun did when he succeeded to the throne was naturally to change the name of the Han Dynasty, so as to establish the future of the Han Dynasty.

And the first gift in the first year of the Han Jianxing was the head of Cao Zhen, the general of the Cao family.

Among the Dai counties of Youzhou, Cao Zhen never thought in his life that he would end up here.

The generals around him had been completely destroyed in the previous fight, and a famous general was dismantled.

Zhuge Liang seemed to keep giving him opportunities, and asked him to let go of the soldiers and horses under his command again and again, as the person who was cut off, but in the end, all his wings were removed.

Then he was trapped in the land of this Daijun and was besieged by Zhuge Liang.

Wish... It can often bring infinite power to people, and can make the soldiers who have entered a desperate situation burst out with extraordinary abilities again.

This has been the truth of the world since ancient times.

But Cao Zhen himself didn't expect that he would finally fall under this truth.

"If Zhuge Kongming was directly surrounded on all sides at the beginning, we would definitely fight to the death, even if it was death.... It will definitely not make it easy for the Han army under his command.

But it's this slow revival that makes me think that I can still break out, and I can still fight with that...

That's it... There was no hope of convergence, and it was impossible to even tell them to escape. ”

In the city of Daixian, Cao Zhen, who has always been extremely obese, now looks a lot thinner, and he has been fighting for more than half a month.

He had almost no baggage, and he never slept endlessly.

The endless Han army finally broke through the gate of Dai County early this morning, and at this time a crazy battle had begun in this Dai County.

Cao Zhen, who was seriously injured, did not fight the Han army again, he had completely lost his strength.

At this time, he was in the hall of this generation of county government officials, and then looked at the surrounding pictures, and stroked the extremely sharp sword in his hand.

Outside the door, the BMW horse that he has ridden for many years is still wailing, as if he knows that his master is now running out of gas.

I want to do something but I can't do it.

"Kill!"

The sound of the fight finally reached the door, and the sound of the clashing blades was as fast as I thought from beginning to end.

A huge force directly smashed open the door of the mansion, and Ma Chao, who had a fierce face, strode in directly, and the spear in his hand was still dripping blood.

That hideous look seemed to be telling Cao Zhen...

"You're going to die!"

"I'm going to die..."Cao Zhen just smiled indifferently after looking at Ma Chao with a hideous face, "But it's not in the hands of a reckless man like you."

You Ma Mengqi, but you are just a reckless man, and you are worthy of taking my Cao Zidan's life! ”

With this terrible roar, Cao Zhen directly kicked over the candlestick beside him, and the flames immediately ignited the fire oil and other things under his feet.

At the same time, the lobby was also directly ignited, and the scrolls of catalogues and maps were burned in the flames with Cao Zhen.

The scorching flame could only be exchanged for Cao Zhen's more and more enthusiastic laughter, and the laughter was full of rampant and heroic.

"Yu~" At this moment, the BMW Sail, which had been tied to the pillar in front of the door by Cao Zhen, suddenly let out a last majestic scream, and then broke free from the reins.

With blood all over his body, he rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation, and just raised his horse's hooves high in front of Cao Zhen.

It was at this moment that Cao Zhen's sigh finally came out.

"I'm Cao Zidan.... should have made a name for itself...."

In the first year of Jianxing, Cao Zidan fell to Youzhou, and Zhuge Liang, who had destroyed the Cao army along the way, immediately gathered all the soldiers and horses and went directly to the last Cao army in Youzhou.

Under the general trend, this Cao army can be said to have no reason to resist.

Xiahou Ba was captured alive by Jiang Weisheng, and the rest of Xiahou's family, Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Rong, Xiahou Hui, and Xiahou Nan were killed successively.

Xiahou Zizang and Xiahou Zijiang, the other two sons of Xiahou Tun, even wanted to rebel and surrender to the Han Dynasty, but after being discovered by Xiahou Chong, they immediately decided and killed them directly...

But after that, Xiahou Chong also died and fell on the spot.

The three of the sheep family, the sheep were captured, the sheep died of illness, and the sheep finally died on the battlefield, but Zhuge Liang ordered the sheep to be buried later.

At the same time, he ordered to take care of the children and heirs of the Yang family, and he must not be embarrassed.

Zhao's widow Wang Yi was captured and killed by Pang De, Xin Xianying, the daughter of Xinbi... Even if he got the blessing of the sheep family, he finally ended up with a good death.

So far, Youzhou has been recovered, and the army has almost swept the land of Youzhou with a sweeping momentum.

Zhuge Liang also directly went to Zhuojun to worship in place of Liu Xie, which can be regarded as doing something for his old master.

But....

"Hey~"

After a sigh, Zhuge Liang could only send this tragedy to Chang'an, and the time passed and the war in Youzhou continued, and the small village had long been reduced to nothing....

However, although he failed to find Liu Bei's clansmen back then, Zhuge Liang also felt very regretful.

But after converging Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, Zhuge Liang attacked Bohai County again.

Fighting and stopping all the way, and after Bohai County was conquered, this familiar army was also reorganized in his hands.

This kind of ability.... It's really amazing.

However, Dahan was amazed here, but the Cao family was only frightened.

Hebei fell, a large number of cities rushed to surrender to the Han army, and the Han army once again conquered Hanoi and pointed directly at Yecheng.

Zhang He led the troops to break through, but that sentence Fu and the others took strict precautions, even though he Zhang He was clever and changeable, and it was easy to defeat the two, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

I could only watch as the Han army finally surrounded the Wei County.

In Luoyang, Cao Rong looked at the battle reports that came one after another, and his face became more and more ugly.

But before he could make a decision on how to send troops, the battle report from the other side came at the same time.

In September of the first year of Jianxing, Liu Feng, the son of the Han Dynasty, ordered Zhao Yun to be the general to supervise the military of Yangzhou and rectify the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong.

With Zhang Ren, Wen Ping, and Wei Yan as deputy generals, he led the Jiangdong Navy directly into Jianghuai.

Attack the land of Qingxu!

Zhao Yun learned from the experience of Sun Quan's repeated attacks on Jianghuai and failed, and instead of attacking with foot soldiers, he ordered a water battle first.

Wen Ping and Zhang Ren rushed out of the Yangtze River into the Huai River, taking advantage of the vertical and horizontal characteristics of the Jianghuai waters, countless fighting ships began to charge.

united Wu Ban and Huang Quan, who were already harassing in the Jianghuai area, and began to constantly harass the land of Huainan.

After that, Zhao Yun personally raised a large army and rushed to kill, and fought with Cao's army and the land of Hefei.

When Cao Xiu heard this, he immediately abandoned Pang Tong in the rear and personally led his army to Hefei to fight Zhao Yun.

The two sides fought for several days in succession, and finally when the two sides were entangled, Wei Yan and Wang Ping joined forces to attack Hefei.

Kill Cao Xiu's son Cao Zhao!

When Cao Xiu heard this, he was saddened and could only choose to withdraw his troops.

And Zhao Yun took this opportunity to directly lead the elite cavalry of the headquarters to raid away....
