Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 480

In Ruyang City, the gates of the imperial palace were closed, and the heavy gates were slowly lowered.

As soon as Feng Ji came back, he went to Yuan Shao's side to obey orders.

Seeing Feng Ji, Yuan Shao quickly questioned: "Yuantu, why can't Ruyang be defended for half a day! Is the number one strong city in Runan a joke?"

Feng Ji's face was not very good, but he still replied very peacefully: "My lord, a strong fortress is often broken from the inside. Ruyang City is solid, but Ruyang's civil strife is endless, and there was another rebellion attack last night. The southeast small gate, the enemy has an opportunity to take advantage of it, I heard that someone reported to Yuan's residence last night, but they were suppressed."

"There is such a thing?" Yuan Shao looked incredulous, "Why is there no news about me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zuo Shi fiercely.

Zuo Shi was so frightened by Yuan Shao's stare, he quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "My lord, there was indeed someone who warned the police last night, but it was a fire, not a military disaster."

"Fire?"

"Before the rioters acted, they set fires everywhere. In order to prevent innocent people from being injured, they evacuated in advance. One of them reported the news to the gatekeepers of Yuan's residence." Feng Ji explained.

Zuo Shi originally thought that this matter could be kept hidden forever, but he didn't expect that it would be found out within half a day.

"My lord, please forgive me, someone sets fire to Ruyang City every night, how can I wait for a trivial matter and come to disturb you in the middle of the night!" Zuo Shi hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Yuan Shaozheng was so angry that he couldn't listen, and immediately ordered: "Left and right, drag the thief out of this mistake!"

Seeing the sergeant dragging the people away, Feng Ji stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yuan, since the city is broken, the former army has no need to resist. Why don't you order all the troops to retreat to the palace for defense."

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu, who also nodded.

"Just as Yuan Tu said!"

Feng Ji bowed his hands and went to arrange.

Yuan Shao left everyone behind and came to the place where he was doing business with Guo Tu.

"The situation is not good for my lord!" Guo Tu's first words caused Yuan Shao's blood pressure to rise suddenly.

"According to the view of the public, is there a way to break the situation now?" Yuan Shao asked rhetorically.

Guo Tu smiled bitterly in his heart, if there is a way to break the situation, why wait until now, sighed silently, not daring to make a sound, shook his head, and told Yuan Shao that he had no choice.

This palace wall may be strong, but even the city wall can't stop the King of Bohai. How can a small palace wall stop it?

Seeing Guo Tu so depressed, Yuan Shao suddenly felt that the situation was over.

Is it really so fast?In just a few years, Yuan's foundation was completely wiped out by him?

Yuan Shao has always been difficult to understand, he has soldiers, money and food, and even Yangzhou.

He didn't understand why the King of Bohai could strangle him by the throat with one blow and completely seal off his escape route.

This is not a level of battle at all.

In fact, in Liu Qing's view, since Huang Wan was completely disappointed with him, Yuan Shao had no chance. In Liu Qing's eyes, he was even inferior to Yuan Shu in some respects, such as employing people.

So in history, there are so many Hebei righteous men and Hebei fierce generals, and they can't lift Yuan Shao up.

Not to mention the deformed Yuan Shao in this world.
-
On the second day of the battle, Yuan Jun in Ruyang City was completely defeated and fled back to the "Imperial Palace", while Gao Shun and Dian Wei took the opportunity to surround the palace.

On the second day, Cao Cao led his cavalry to arrive first.

Liu Qing greeted him personally at Yingkou.

"Meng Delai got it very quickly, did you encounter Yuan Jun on the way?"

Cao Cao replied with a smile: "There are quite a few of them, but they were all left behind and left to Zixiao to deal with. What, they came in time, and they should be able to catch up with the siege."

Cao Ren was in command of the infantry and followed behind.

"Siege? What kind of city?" Liu Qing laughed.

"Ruyang!" Cao Cao pointed.

"Oh, Ruyang, Ruyang has already been captured." Liu Qing said casually.

Before Cao Cao put his hands down, his chin was growing there, and his mouth was so big that an egg could be stuffed into it.

After a while, Cao Cao came back to his senses, and immediately realized that King Bohai might be joking, "Although I came late, the king doesn't need to be dismissed like this."

At this time, Xu Shu said: "My lord's words are true. Ruyang was destroyed yesterday, and the forces in the city have been wiped out today. Now Yuan Shao's forces are all retreating into the palace to fight trapped beasts."

Cao Cao frowned and glanced at Xu Shu.

"Who is this……"

"This is Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi, who met Yanzhou Mu."

Xu Shu hurriedly saluted, "I have met the envoy."

Cao Cao returned the salute with a smile, and at the same time changed the topic to Ru Yang.

"Well, Yuan Zhi, what you said is true?"

"Meng De, when did I ever lie to you!"

"That's right. Your Majesty never lied to Cao, but how did you manage to conquer Ruyang in one day?"

Liu Qing looked at Cao Cao, then turned his head to look at Xu Shu, the meaning was self-evident.

Cao Cao also looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu's appearance was mediocre, and he was just an ordinary scholar, not like a genius.

However, Cao Cao understands the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance. If what King Bohai said is true, then it must be that this Mr. Xu Yuanzhi has come up with some unnatural schemes?

"Please sir, explain my doubts to me." Cao Cao said.

"There's nothing to say, I'll just create some chaos in the city, and just cooperate with the master." Xu Shu said simply.

The inside should be combined with the outside.

It's easy to say, but how to operate it is very knowledgeable. Cao Cao is not ignorant of soldiers. Knowing this, he would not understate it so lightly.

In fact, it was not easy for Xu Shu to successfully raid the southeast gate. In order to succeed in one fell swoop, Xu Shu began to lead people to do things, set fires, and occasionally attacked Yuan Jun, causing Yuan Jun a headache.

Every day is like this, so many times, Yuan Jun began to be indifferent to the changes in Ruyang City, indifferent to the fire, so that he was ready for the final battle.

In fact, Yuan Shao's assistant finally chose to ignore the warning, which is also inseparable from the current situation of the Japanese and Japanese fires in Ruyang City.

Everyone was paralyzed, thinking that today was just an ordinary day's event, Xu Shu suddenly became violent, and joined forces with Liu Qing's army, breaking the door overnight and leaving the city in one day.

"Yuan Benchu ​​retreated into the palace, is the false emperor Liu Chong also there?" Cao Cao asked.

"No, Liu Chong is still in the state of Chen, and Huangwan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, has set off for the journey. Liu Chong is not in the palace, which shows that his so-called throne is actually just a rhetoric, just a fictional image of Yuan Shao. Liu Chong If he accepts the surrender, this king can spare his life." Liu Qing said.

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, nodded, and agreed with Liu Qing's statement.

"The cause of everything is caused by the Yuan family. If Yuan Zhichao can be eliminated, it will save others from being mistaken. In the past, I, the Cao family and the Yuan family, are still somewhat friendly. If it weren't for the king and Wen Ruokai Yulu, I'm afraid I was in Jizhou in the past, so I came back to join the heroes to discuss Dong."

Speaking of the past, Cao Cao also sighed.

Cao Cao found that after he rejected Yuan Shao, his official career became extremely spacious.

It can be said that it is already the limit of a man and minister from a small riding captain to a Yanzhou shepherd, and this is only a few short years. This is because of the strong support of King Bohai.

Thinking about it, Cao Cao felt that he should do something.

"Your Majesty, since Cao Cao is here, how about leaving the palace to Cao Cao to attack?"

When Liu Qing heard it, it was a good idea.

Today's Yuan Shao is already the turtle in the urn, without the slightest threat, leaving it to Cao Cao to deal with, more than enough.

Liu Qing just took the opportunity to go back to Lujiang to arrange the relief of Nanyang. In addition, he took advantage of the Nanyang incident to find out what Liu Biao said.

I believe that after the Yuan family is destroyed, there should be no so-called gentry who don't have long-sightedness to stand up in this world, and Liu Qing's main target will be the tyrants who hide behind various local officials.

And Jingzhou is really a typical example.

Liu Biao controlled Jingzhou faster than he controlled Jizhou at the beginning. The reason is that Liu Biao relied on powerful strength.

"Yuan Shao is already a grasshopper after autumn, and he won't be able to jump for a few days. If Meng De wants this credit, he will give it to Meng De. I really have important things to do first." Liu Qing said seriously.

"Oh? Can you tell me a thing or two?"

"There is a disease in Nanyang." Liu Qing said simply.

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed immediately.

This disease is more terrifying than any thieves and rebellions, because once it is infected, almost all households will be wiped out, the village will be greatly reduced, and even the entire county will suffer heavy losses, and it happened in Nanyang, which has a large population. Its harm is even more difficult to predict.

"I haven't heard of this thing for two years." Cao Cao murmured, "A few years before the Yellow Turban, it happened in Nanyang, and unexpectedly, it happened again. Don't worry, Yuan Benchu ​​will be handed over to Cao. Your Majesty only needs to Tell me, what is mortal is still alive."

"It's best to live." Liu Qing laughed, "But it doesn't matter if you die. This king can't control the life and death of the people in this world. Why care about Yuan Shao's life and death!"

As he said that, Liu Qing pointed in the direction of Ruyang, "Let Ruyang be handed over to Meng De. If you take Yuan Shao down, I will reward you a lot!"

Cao Cao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

With that said, he turned around and went out of the account.

Brothers Xiahou and Cheng Yu were waiting outside the tent, when they saw Cao Cao approaching, they immediately went up to meet him.

"My lord, can you decide where we should attack?"

Cao Cao replied: "Yuan Rang, mobilize troops and horses to enter the city. Our army will take over the task of the Bohai King Army and continue to attack Yuan Shao."

"Ah? Entering the city?" Xiahou Dun suspected that he had heard wrong.

"Master, did you make a mistake?" Cheng Yu was also surprised.

Cao Cao looked at the unbelievable few people, and what they were thinking was not what he thought just now. They arrived just one day later, and King Bohai broke through the city of Ruyang.

Who dares to believe it?But it's true!

"You come with me!"

Cao Cao didn't answer the questions of several people, but rode straight to Ruyang City, Xiahou Dun Chengyu and others had to follow.

Not long after, Cao Cao rode to the south gate.

At this time in Runan, smoke was still rising in the city, and the open flames in the city had been extinguished, but the smoke continued to smoke. Under the tall city wall, stood a series of ladders, and all the ladders had been burned to blackness. There is no original color of wood.

The south gate is open, and occasionally people come in and out, and they only need a simple check to get in and out.

Cheng Yu, Xia Houdun and others also stared blankly at Ru Yang who seemed to have been burned once, and their hearts were shocked.

What it looks like now, what will it look like when the city was attacked?
Obviously, the imagination of a few people is not enough.

"The King of Bohai captured Ruyang City in one day." Cao Cao said without losing the time.

As soon as these words came out, the imagination of the few people was even more insufficient.

"My lord, how did the King of Bohai manage to capture Ruyang in one day?" Cheng Yu was very curious and wanted to learn.

"The inside should cooperate with the outside." Cao Cao simply summed it up.

However, the light and the word should be in harmony with the outside, saying it is tantamount to not saying it.

"My lord, look at this city wall, it's a frontal attack." Xia Houyuan pointed to the ladder below the city.

Cao Cao naturally knew that he showed his identity and entered the city directly with soldiers and horses. A steady stream of soldiers and horses entered the city. Many people in Ruyang Junction came to watch curiously, pointing fingers, and comparing this with the army they had seen before.

"Looking at what they are wearing, it seems to be tattered."

"Can the soldiers and horses who attack the fortification be the same as those who defend the city?"

"The spirit is not strong enough, you don't know that the soldier I saw in the morning, his eyes were wide open early in the morning, as if he wanted to eat people."

If Cao Cao heard this, he would probably vomit blood with anger.

This is the elite horse army that he is proud of. In the future, he plans to develop in the direction of the imperial guards of the Bohai King. He has even thought about the name, and he will call it Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Light cavalry, main movement and mounted shooting.

However, the cavalry he was proud of was indeed crushed in all directions by the melon-eaters and Liu Qing's imperial guards.

Soon before Cao Cao arrived at the palace, he saw Gao Shun and expressed his intention to come, along with Liu Qing's order.

After Gao Shun saw Liu Qing's order, he briefly explained the surrounding environment, and the trapped camp did not withdraw. He had to wait for Cao Cao's troops to spread out and surround the "Imperial Palace" before he could safely withdraw.

However, Gao Shun also knew what was going on, and instead of waiting, he went straight back to report, and he would return to the camp when he fell into the camp.

Gao Shun quickly returned to the camp, not understanding for a while.

"My lord, Yuan Shao is about to take it, why did he hand it over to General Cao?"

Liu Qing replied: "Yuan Shao is just a rebel, what is the importance at all, there are changes in Nanyang right now, my king has mixed feelings, the disease in Shunyang and other places must be dealt with by someone, and the soldiers sent Horses, you must have strict military discipline, follow orders and prohibit, and not be afraid of death!"

"My lord, Gao Shun is willing to go!" Gao Shun replied without any hesitation.

Liu Qing's heart became hot, this is what he imagined to be trapped in the camp.

"For soldiers, for the country and for the people, we should fight bravely. Sometimes, our enemies are not human beings, they may be natural disasters, or diseases. Filial father, this king is proud of you!" Liu Qing sincerely praised.

"As the lord, for the common people, with the ambition to be in battle, death is not a pity!"

"Okay! Great! However, before leaving, there is one more thing that I promise you to complete."

Gao Shun was taken aback, "What's the matter, my lord?"

"Gaogan is stationed in the southwest, go and meet him, after all, he is from the Gao family, if he is willing to turn around, this king may not be able to tolerate him."
