Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1156 Chuang Wang Li Zicheng

Chapter 1154: Chuang Wang Li Zicheng

Li Zicheng knew that among the major princes in Yanzhou, Cao Cao was his biggest enemy, so he decisively decided to help the alliance of Yanzhou princes and princes.

Li Zicheng took the initiative to lend a helping hand at this time, which naturally made the Yanzhou princes alliance overjoyed. After all, they had been forced into an unsustainable position by Cao Cao, so there was no reason for them to refuse. Cao Cao.

Since ancient times, thieves and thieves are not at odds with each other.

Back then, the princes of the Eighteenth Route of the Han Dynasty worked hard and sacrificed countless times to finally drive all the Ming forces into Sanshan, but now the princes of Yanzhou took the initiative to let Li Zicheng enter Yanzhou.

Cao Cao did not expect that in order to deal with him, the princes of Yanzhou would join forces with Li Zicheng, a "bright thief" who was "upright and upright". Li Zicheng succeeded in a surprise attack by Li Zicheng, not only fell to the twelve counties of Taishan County, but also lost two or three counties. Wan Dajun.

The Central Plains area was occupied by the Ming Dynasty for many years, and under the governance of the Ming Dynasty, although the people in the Central Plains lived a hard life, they still had hope in their hearts, but it was a pity that the Ming Dynasty still lost to the Han Dynasty.

After the Central Plains was retaken by the Great Han, although the people's lives improved, they were not much better than before. This also made many people still look forward to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Zicheng's army invaded Mount Tai, the people spontaneously gathered to support the Ming army.

Seeing that his own army was so popular among the people, Li Zicheng also had the confidence to win in his heart, so after taking over Taishan County, he moved out the 50 soldiers and civilians who had hidden in Taishan County, and then moved out of Taishan Prefecture. The county is called the king, and the name is Chuangwang.

When Li Zicheng hid in Taishan, he only took away 30 soldiers and civilians, but these years he kept taking in and abducting refugees at the junction of Qingyan and Xuzhou. Coupled with the encouragement of childbirth, the total population of soldiers and civilians under his command reached 50.

Li Zicheng also had a self-reliant heart, and although he claimed to be king without authorization, he not only directly betrayed Daming, so he still used the banner of Daming to gain the support and support of the people of Yanzhou.

After becoming king, Li Zicheng personally brought [-] troops to attack Cao Cao's territory in Yanzhou under the slogan of "equalizing the land and exempting taxes".

The people of Yanzhou looked forward to the arrival of King Chuang, and sang folk songs such as "open the city gate, welcome King Chuang, and don't pay food when King Chuang comes".

Originally, the strength of the coalition army of Yanzhou princes was higher than that of Cao Jun, but after several defeats, it was overtaken by Cao Jun. With the addition of Li Zicheng's new army, it directly hit Cao Jun hard, which also made Cao Jun in Yanzhou. Occupy fell into a weak position again.

Under the joint attack of the coalition forces of the princes of Yanzhou and the Chuang army, Cao Jun, who had just suffered heavy losses, had to switch from offense to defense. However, the disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, coupled with the continuous rebellion of the people under his command, made the cities defended by Cao Jun chaotic before fighting.

Soon, Cao Jun retreated to Chenliu County, and continued to shrink the line of defense. If he retreated like this, Cao Jun might really have to withdraw from Yingchuan County.

Cao Cao knew that the strength of the enemy and himself was too great. It was too difficult to defeat the combination of the four princes of Yanzhou and Li Zicheng by himself. Only the addition of external forces could win quickly.

There are not many forces that can be borrowed by Cao Cao, and there are only three, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Yuzhou Yuan Shu, and Sizhou Qin Hao.

Tao Qian was too busy to take care of himself. Even if he defended with all his strength and did not go out to fight Zhu Yuanzhang, it would still be difficult to prevent the loss of the city and land. Xuzhou has now been eaten away by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yuan Shu is attacking Li Mi in order to unify Yuzhou. Although Li Mi is afraid of Yuan Shu's strength, he is not afraid of war.

As for Sizhou Qin Hao, regardless of the personal relationship between the Qin and Cao families, with the capture of Hangu Pass by the Qin army, although Sizhou has not yet been unified, the situation is already clear.

Therefore, only Qin Hao in Sizhou had the possibility to send reinforcements, while Cao Cao sent Xun You as an envoy to ask for help.

Cao Cao's writing style is excellent, and the words of the letter of plea for help, it seems that Cao Jun is in danger. If Qin Jun does not send out reinforcements, Cao Jun may not be able to last long.

After reading the appeal letter in his hand, Qin Hao smiled and asked Liu Bowen: "Military Master, is the situation in Yanzhou really so dilapidated?"

Liu Bowen nodded, and said: "After Cao Cao experienced a big defeat, his army strength has dropped to [-], and the coalition army of Yanzhou princes has [-] troops, but Li Zicheng only dispatched [-] troops."

After speaking, Liu Bowen took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and continued with a serious face: "But according to the intelligence of our military planners, most of the people in the Central Plains are interested in Ming thieves, so Li Zicheng can quickly expand his army at any time.

Even as long as Li Zicheng is willing, he can expand his army by 20 in a short period of time at any time, and he has already recruited [-] troops to stay in Taishan County. "

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped when they heard it, but Qin Hao smiled lightly and said, "Oh, there are so many." He seemed not to care.

Pei Ju stood up with a serious face and said: "My lord, with the strength of Cao Cao's troops, it is difficult to even protect himself without outside intervention, let alone defeat Li Zicheng and the princes of Yanzhou.

Once Li Zicheng completely occupies Yanzhou, even if we have Hulao Xiongguan on the east front of our county, it will be a great threat to our army. "

"Is it difficult for Cao Cao to protect himself?"

A strange color flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he said with a smile, "I can't see it.

The battle situation in Yanzhou seems to be unfavorable to Cao's army, but it has not reached the point of desperation. Cao Cao should not be underestimated, and he will not be defeated by Li Zicheng so easily.

What's more, although the princes of Yanzhou have lured wolves into the house this time, they will not let Li Zicheng grow bigger. Once Li Zicheng really grows to the extent that they are afraid, the princes of Yanzhou may turn against him and help Cao Cao in turn. "

Pei Ju and Liu Bowen looked at each other. They didn't expect the lord to be so optimistic about Cao Cao, but what the lord said was indeed reasonable.

The battle situation in Yanzhou seems to be clear, but in fact it is extremely complicated, and there will be no winner or loser in the short term.

Yanzhou is next to Sizhou. Whether it is Cao Cao or Li Zicheng's unification of Yanzhou, it is a threat to the Qin army and will definitely restrain part of the Qin army's strength.

Therefore, for Qin Hao, who is aiming to unify the world, the best situation is actually to let Cao Jun and Chuang Jun fight endlessly.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao immediately summoned Xun You, Cao Cao's envoy, and declined politely: "Although the Qin and Cao families are on good terms, our army is also trapped in Sizhou and cannot extricate ourselves. Even our own affairs have not been resolved, and we really don't have the energy to divide our troops. To help others, please forgive me.”

Seeing Qin Hao's refusal, Xun You couldn't help being anxious, and wanted to persuade him again, but Qin Hao didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Although I can't help Cao Gong this time, I can give Cao Jun a batch of supplies and food for free. I hope Cao Gong can get through this difficulty as soon as possible."
