Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Up to the people of the country, down to personal future,
Zhang He's accompanying Sima explained a series of great principles to Deng Zhi from a long distance away.

But even though Sima spit dryly and shouted hoarsely, Deng Zhi on the top of the wall remained unmoved.

"Haha." Sima said with a dry mouth, panting for a while, and then continued to shout:
"The general must have heard about Jiangdong's retreat and Pang Tong's defeat!

Now that the main force of Jingzhou has been defeated, the army of my lord, Prime Minister Cao and Lu Hussars, can go south to sweep Jingzhou and Jiangdong at any time!
The ancients have said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, a good minister chooses a master to serve, and a general is young and promising."

Deng Zhi could not help but yawned after hearing half of it, and said to the defenders beside him, "Be on guard, beware of the Wei army attacking the city. As for the crow outside, let him just yell like that."

"Here"

Deng Zhi just ignored Zhang He's persuasion to surrender, and let Zhang He's Sima speak dryly to the air outside the city for a long time.

After Sima returned to the barracks, he was aggrieved and reported his experience to Zhang He, and even made Zhang He and Gao Lan very angry.

Gao Lan, who was even more irritable, even scolded fiercely on the spot: "Damn Deng Zhi, you are so ignorant of good and evil! Send an order to step up the construction of siege equipment, and attack the city immediately at dawn tomorrow!"

"Here!"

A quiet night.

When it was just dawn the next day, Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were full of anger, ordered the soldiers to eat and rest.

After resting for half an hour, Cao Jun and the others began to attack Fancheng directly.

In order to take down Fancheng in one go, Zhang He and Gao Lan took the lead and took the lead. They each led [-] soldiers to attack from the north and south walls of Fancheng.

The soldiers carried all kinds of equipment, and under the cover of archers, rushed to the city against the rain of arrows, built a wooden bridge over the moat, and after crossing the river, set up a ladder and began to climb up the city wall.

Fancheng's defense is not perfect, and Deng Zhi has never had real battlefield experience. There is still a lot of gap between him and the high-ranking and outstanding Deng Zhi in the late Shu Han Dynasty in history.

Although the young Deng Zhi resisted desperately, there were too few soldiers and horses and he was divided and attacked. In addition, there were no brave generals in the city. In the end, Fancheng only lasted for more than half a day before Gao Lan took the lead in breaking through the north gate.

When Cao's army entered the city, although Deng Zhi knew he was invincible, he still stood at the gate of the county government with a sword in his hand. It looked like he was going to destroy the city and kill everyone.

However,

Deng Zhi's martial arts were mediocre, and he was arrested after he couldn't last half a move in Zhang Xi's hands.

But Deng Zhi was also stubborn. Even though his hands were tied behind his back and he suffered a lot of punches, he still walked all the way and scolded Zhang Ying, Cao Cao and others.

With Deng Zhi's spirit of seeking death, if he were replaced by another general, it might be true that he would be punished on the spot.

But Zhang He and Gao Lan are surrendered generals, and have been idle in Wancheng for several years.

Now that they finally got the opportunity to make meritorious service on the battlefield, they naturally cherish it very much, and they are not willing to easily offend Cao Jun's taboo of not being able to kill prisoners.

While Zhang He and others were heading to Deng County, Cao Cao and Jia Xu also led an army of [-] to the south.

They will join Wei Yan in Xinye, and will not continue south until Zhang He Gaolan takes down Fancheng.

Fancheng has been captured, and Xiangyang City is next.

Xiangyang City has been expanded and reinforced by Liu Biao for several years, and it is already a rare strong city in the world.

Although Xiangyang is not easy to fight, but now with the help of Lu Yan's navy, Cao Cao feels that with the 15 army in his hand, there is still some hope of taking Xiangyang City.

Today, Cao Cao is the most powerful to rule the world. Only by defeating Liu Qi, Sun Quan and other vassals who ruled the country as soon as possible, can the world usher in real peace.

The army moved forward and finally entered Deng County two days later.

A day later, Navy Master Lu Yan, who had wandered around the Han River, also came to Deng County.

After learning that Deng County had been conquered by Cao Jun, they docked at the port outside Deng County.

Fancheng, ten miles away.

Lu Yan, Sima Yi, Gan Ning, and Su Fei strode towards the peace of mind in Fancheng.

Cao Cao, who had received the news of Lu Yan's arrival, had already led his ministers of civil and military affairs, and had been waiting in the wind for a long time.

After a long distance, Cao Cao saw Lu Yan.

"Mr. Lu! Hahaha!"

Cao Cao burst into laughter, and rushed towards Lu Yan impatiently!

Lu Yan gently pushed away the overly enthusiastic old Cao with an air wall, "Mr. Cao, we have only been separated for two or three months, so there is no need to be so affectionate."

Cao Cao didn't care about this, he still grinned and said again and again: "You have solved our predicament, so naturally we should be more affectionate!"

Before Lu Yan could speak again, Cao Cao took Lu Yan's hand and walked into the city. As he walked, he said, "Come, come! I have prepared a welcome banquet for you and the brothers of the Navy, and we must have it today." If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

"Husband!" Lu Lingqi and Zhao Xue stood at the front of the crowd, looked at Lu Yan and Gan Ning who were surrounded by the crowd, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help revealing an intoxicating smile.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, at the beginning of September.

Since the Jiangdong Army retreated from Huainan, the Jingzhou Army also withdrew from Jingbei!

At this point, the offensive of the Sun-Liu Allied Forces, which once posed a huge threat to Cao Cao, completely collapsed!
Originally Cao Cao was going to pursue the victory, but was persuaded by Jia Xu and Lu Yan.

You know, after the Cao Group has gone through repeated battles on both the north and south fronts, their internal military rations are actually running low; Fortunately, some war-weariness has grown in their hearts.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao wanted to start the conquest of Jingzhou, he had to let the people and soldiers rest for a while.

After learning about the internal situation, Cao Cao decided to follow Lu Yan and Jia Xu's ideas.

In fact, Cao Cao should not be the least anxious.

With the speed of economic and agricultural development under Cao Cao's rule, as long as there are another three to five years, the money, food and wealth that can crush all the princes will definitely be saved.

Now, Lu Yan's navy has also controlled the Han River, and only needs to build enough transport ships. Cao Jun can cross the river whenever he wants.

With Cao's army well-organized and sufficient food and grass, as long as the commander does not make mistakes, he can push Jingchu and Jiangdong across by relying on hard power.

Therefore, there is no need for Cao Cao to be anxious at all, and it should be Pang Tong and Sun Quan who are anxious.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, in the middle of September.

Under Cao Cao, a large-scale mobilization began.

After the troubles of alien races in the north are subsided, their strategic center of gravity will be greatly shifted to the south!

Cao Ren, the prefect of Hanoi County, was sent to Fancheng by Cao Cao, and led [-] troops to garrison Fancheng.

For this reason, Cao Cao also specially allocated a sum of money to Cao Ren to build fortifications and build warships, which did not disappoint Cao Ren's reputation as a prefect who asked for money.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers were stationed in Xuchang, Wancheng, and Runan. Just waiting for Cao Cao's order, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Cao's army will be able to cross the Han River and flatten Jingzhou!

But when all these transfers were completed, it was already the end of the ninth year of Jian'an.
It's the end of the year again.

This year's wars are somewhat frequent, with troughs and climaxes.

Although Lujiang County was lost, Cao Cao also controlled Jingbei.
Overall, the gains outweigh the losses.
