Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 824
"Your Majesty, the camps of Cao Cao and Liu Bei are empty. They seem to have escaped." Huang Zhong said.

"how come."

Xu Ding hurriedly got up: "It's only one night, where will they flee? I haven't received any news about Cao Liu's withdrawal and breakout. Where's your Pingjin?"

Huang Zhongdao: "The last general also guarantees that no enemy has been found. It is absolutely impossible for them to cross the Yellow River from Pingjin to the north."

"Oops!"

Xu Ding remembered Guo Jia's worries before, that Liu Bei and Cao Cao would most likely cross the river from other places.Because the Yellow River on the border of Sili has a defense line of hundreds of miles, there is always a place to cross.

Cao Cao has been a secretary for a long time, so he must be very familiar with the terrain.

"You send an order to the three armies to go to Pingjin to stand by. I'll go to investigate and surround them later." Xu Ding put on his clothes and went out of the tent, telling Huang Zhong.

"promise."

Xu Ding used a satellite plug-in to survey the terrain with a radius of [-] miles.

Survey for a long time
He finally discovered that Cao Liu's army was crossing the river sixty miles west of Pingjin.

One by one rafts were placed in the river, carrying soldiers across.

Although very slow.

But there are a large number of soldiers cutting wood and frying bamboo rafts.

At this speed, in three or four hours, all of them will be able to cross the Yellow River.

Even if Xu Ding ordered the whole army to pursue him, he couldn't stop him.

"Oh." Xu Ding looked at the sky and sighed.

Guo Jia came over: "Your Majesty, do you know the whereabouts of Cao Liu?"

"I already know. They are crossing the river about sixty miles west of Pingjin. Even if I rush now, it will be too late. Fengxiao, we are careless this time."

"Your Majesty don't need to be angry, why don't you try to save it?"

Xu Ding took Guo Jia back to the account.

Xu Ding asked, "What's your idea?"

Guo Jia replied: "Cao Liu is now crossing the river with bamboo rafts. The speed will not be too fast. My lord can lead the army to cross from Pingjin to the north and enter Hanoi County. Hanoi County was originally Zhang Yang's territory. He has always been close to His Majesty, and His Majesty led the army. Go forward, presumably the local forces there will return in hope of the wind. After that, you can send cavalry to Hedong County to stop Liu Bei."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"It must come in a hurry."

Xu Ding thought about it.Now Jia Xu is attacking Chang'an, and Guan Yu is attacking Taiyuan.If he can annihilate the main forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, then Cao Liu will be declared dead.The princes of the world will also look forward to the wind and surrender.

"Anyway, Luoyang is already in our hands, and there is no need for our army to stay in Luoyang. Fengxiao, order all the troops to cross north immediately, and we will destroy Liu Bei in Bingzhou!"

"As ordered."

Guo Jia gave the order.

Nearly [-] Huaxia National Army marched towards Hanoi County.

at this time.

Jia Xu's attack on Chang'an has already made a breakthrough.

Originally, he planned to let the people outside the pass fill in the soil, just like conquering Tongguan, and swallow Chang'an.But I didn't expect Cao Ren to fight again and again to stop Jia Xu.

In the constant confrontation, Jia Xu lured Cao Ren to be deceived and besieged Huayin.

Since then, the Chang'an defenders have been weak and have no strength to compete with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also gave up the plan to fill the soil, raided and attacked the city in the middle of the night, and entered Chang'an in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Wenhe, Cao Jun is blocked by us in the school grounds, and he will return soon." said Wu Zhi, the general who followed Jia Xu into the city.

"How many enemy troops are there?" Jia Xu stopped.

"According to the soldiers we captured, about [-] or so."

Jia Xu thought for a moment, then said: "You don't have to wait for them to surrender, just kill them all! You must know that the Cao army guarding Chang'an are all the elite of Cao Cao's direct lineage, and they will not easily betray Cao Cao, not to mention that there is a lot of kerosene in the school ground. If we are used by them, our army will suffer heavy losses. Just keep doing nothing and kill all the enemies!"

"Yes."

Wu Zhi took people to the school grounds and used firearms, bows and arrows to shoot round after round.All the Cao troops who were about to surrender were killed on the spot, and none survived.

Jia Xu took people to the palace and met Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been controlled by the princes, turned around, and finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, he is still a puppet." The general of the sharp knife army followed Jia Xu.

"Yes, it's deplorable."

Jia Xu stood at the gate of the palace, hesitated for a while, and said to Hu Shang: "It is said that all the troops are strictly guarding the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I will go to see the emperor of Han."

"Yes."

Jia Xu entered the hall and saw Liu Xie squatting beside Longta sobbing.

Jia Xu stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Jia Xu, a foreign minister, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Han."

Jia Xu claimed to be a foreign minister, and he had already placed himself in the right position.

He is no longer a Hanchen, but a minister of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Liu Xie curled up there without saying a word.

Jia Xu glanced into the hall, and there was a little eunuch standing in the distance, trembling.The whole hall was deserted.Jia Xu said: "I used to be a minister of the Han Dynasty, eating the salary of the Han Dynasty, but the sky does not bless the Han, so why not..."

"The Great Han has gone through 400 years, from prosperity to decline, from prosperity to withering, and now it is exhausted. As the former emperor, if you want to survive, it will be even more difficult, but I am willing to help your majesty..."

Jia Xu said this.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie also raised his head slightly and asked, "Aiqing. Are you really willing to help me?"

"This is natural. I can help His Majesty survive. First, you must issue an imperial decree to enumerate the crimes committed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and list them as sinners of the Han Dynasty. Everyone in the world can punish them. Secondly, you must issue an imperial decree for the counties outside the pass. County officials, return to Chang'an and declare that from now on, the great man will perish. Once these imperial decrees are promulgated, His Majesty can enjoy wealth forever."

"You." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty struggled to stand up: "Aiqing. If I do this, how can I meet my ancestors?"

Jia Xu walked back and forth, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Don't you know the truth that even people in the Jianghu know? In ancient times, Yao Zen was located in Shun. It is a good story. Now the Huaxia Kingdom has been established, and the Han Kingdom It exists in name only. Although your Majesty is not a holy king, but you don’t want to imitate the sages, be more magnanimous, and give up the country to the Huaxia Kingdom to be a prominent person? If you can do this, your Majesty is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate.”

Jia Xu argued for a while.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was really fooled by him.

He wrote three imperial decrees in a row and asked Jia Xu to publish them.

The first way is to scold Cao Cao and Liu Bei and declare their crimes.

The second way is to let Cao Cao's civil and military ministers, as well as the local army, all go to Chang'an (this one may not be followed, but the promulgation of the imperial decree also indicates that Chang'an is occupied by Jia Xu, and Cao Cao has lost his old nest).

In the third way, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty declared that the Han Dynasty was destroyed!

The promulgation of the three imperial decrees immediately aroused heated discussions among people.

Cao's troops stationed in the west of the Weihe River and the counties of Yongliang and Liang were all frightened by the news.

Just at this time, Cao Cao returned from the Yellow River and traveled to Gaoling.

Hearing about Chang'an, he was horrified.

"Where is Cao Ren? Where is Cao Ren?" In the Gaoling Mansion, Cao Cao hurriedly asked the general Xia Houjie who had come to report.

Xia Houjie said: "The Prime Minister, General Cao Ren was defeated in Huayin and was besieged by Jia Xu. I am desperate for rescue."

In addition to Cao Cao, there are Xu You and Chen Qun in the tent.

Chen Qun said: "Huayin is far to the northeast of Chang'an. And Chang'an is occupied by Jia Xu. If we go to rescue General Cao Ren, we will be in danger."

"I think it's absolutely impossible." Xu You also said.

"You go down first." Cao Cao waved to the soldiers who reported the letter.

"promise."

After the soldiers left.

Cao Cao said anxiously, "Even if I wanted to save Cao Ren, I would be powerless, alas..."

"Even Chang'an was captured by Jia Xu, what should we do?"

Xu You cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, don't lose confidence, you should regroup."

"Can we get back together?" Even Cao Cao himself was wondering.In the case of controlling a large amount of fire oil, they failed to prevent Xu Ding from counterattacking Chang'an. What capital is there now?

Cao Cao sat down and closed his eyes.

Xu You and Chen Qun also sighed.

At this moment, Cao Hong walked in from the outside: "Prime Minister, there is a man from outside the house who claims to have Sima Yi and has a plan to offer to the Prime Minister."

"Sima Yi?" Cao Cao raised his head and said, "Quickly invite him in."

"Yes."

Cao Hong took Sima Yi into the palace to meet Cao Cao.

Sima Yi knelt down opposite Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, if you lose again and again, it's a life-and-death moment. I don't know what the Prime Minister's plan is?"

Cao Cao has heard of Sima Yi's name, and it is rumored in the market that he has an extraordinary strategy.

And Sima Yi's hometown is in Luoyang.

It can also be regarded as the talents under his rule.

Cao Cao didn't answer Sima Yi's words, but instead asked, "Since you've come here, you must have a plan for me, why don't you tell me?"

"I obey." Sima Yi glanced at Chen Qun and Xu You, and said with a light smile, "In fact, the general trend of the world is already clear at a glance. Xu Ding is strong, and the princes are hard to beat. Within a year, Xu Ding will be able to calm the world. If the prime minister wants to make a comeback , need to lead the war to Bingzhou. Then lead the army to conquer Liangzhou, and then conquer Bashu and destroy Liu Zhang. With the danger of mountains and rivers, and Xu Ding, there is a slight chance of winning. But I don’t know if the prime minister still has confidence and courage .”

"You want me to capture Xiliang and Yizhou?" Cao Cao asked.

"Exactly."

Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "You see, I have [-] troops now, and my food and grass are almost exhausted. How can I make such a great achievement?"

Sima Yi said: "The prime minister is too modest. Since the prime minister raised his troops, he has almost won every battle except against Xu Ding. Although there are several warlords in Liangzhou, they are not on the same page and they are suspicious of each other. All we need to do is to use some small tricks. You can take it. Xichuan Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, if the prime minister raises his troops to march south, it will be like a broken bamboo, how can Liu Zhang compete with the prime minister?"

"Furthermore, this is the only way for the prime minister to gain a foothold in the world, isn't it?"

Xu You cupped his hands and said, "What Zhong Da said is very true, the Prime Minister must not lose confidence."

Cao Cao got up and walked over, holding Sima Yi's hand: "Zhongda, I know you have the talent to save the country, would you like to help me?"

"If you don't have this heart, why would you come here?" Sima Yi bowed his hands and said, "I am willing to serve the prime minister, and I will be with you in life and death. I will never hide my words."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao gained Sima Yi's allegiance, regained some confidence, and said: "Let's regroup and go straight to Xiliang. We will compete with Xu Ding later!"

At this time Xu Ding led the army to Hanoi.

As expected by Guo Jia, officials and local soldiers in various counties in Hanoi County expressed their willingness to surrender when they heard that Xu Ding had arrived.This allowed Xu Dingbing to obtain Hanoi County without bloodshed.

Liu Bei crossed the Yellow River in the north, passed through Banpujin and Hedong, and headed for Lishi County.

If you cross Lishi County and go north, you will enter the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Xu Ding was anxious, and after discussing with Guo Jia, he led all the cavalry in pursuit, preparing to wipe out Liu Bei before he entered Bingzhou.

Liu Bei marched quickly.

In a few days, it traveled more than [-] miles across and entered Bingzhou.

When passing through Lishi County, [-] soldiers and horses were left behind to set up an ambush, prepared with enough fire oil and strong crossbows, and when Xu Ding's army arrived, they suddenly rushed out.The unprepared Huaxia Army was hit hard and suffered many casualties.

After solving the remaining enemies.

Xu Ding stationed in Lishi.

"I didn't expect Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to set up an ambush when they fled, causing some casualties to our army." Xu Dingchao Guo Jia said: "Feng Xiao, where is Liu Bei's army?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Liu Bei obviously knows. We will cross the Yellow River north to intercept, so the marching speed is extremely fast. He has now passed Jianxing County, less than three hundred miles away from Taiyuan."

"Soldiers are precious and fast, Zhuge Liang is really extraordinary. Even the infantry can move so fast." Xu Ding put out a map.

Judging from the terrain of Bingzhou, Liu Bei hurried back to Taiyuan because he wanted to defend the capital Jinyang.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Guan Yu's Hebei field army is almost entirely in Jinyang. It is almost impossible for Liu Bei to win. In addition, we will rush to Taiyuan to help in a few days. Liu Bei will definitely lose." Guo Jia said.

"Feng Xiao, don't forget, we are facing Zhuge Liang! Zhuge Liang is good at deploying formations and has many strategies. I am worried that Guan Yu is not his opponent. In marching and fighting, the strength of the army and the number are secondary. Only strategy can determine victory. Negative." Xu Ding didn't want to waste time in Lishi, so he said to Dian Wei who was beside him, "Hurry up and send an order. After lunch, each battalion will set off and follow me straight to Taiyuan."

"promise."

Dian Wei walked out of the lobby.

Guo Jia said: "I am not worried that Liu Bei will defeat Guan Yu. With the strength of our army, once they gather in Taiyuan, Liu Bei will be defeated. It's just that Bingzhou is different from other states and counties. The Taihang Mountains cover thousands of miles and reach all counties. Once Liu Bei feels that, If it is difficult for him to win, he will retreat into the mountains. Then we will be defenseless."

"indeed."

This was also what Xu Ding was most worried about.

The tens of thousands of troops left by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not too scary.

Sooner or later besieged to death.

Only the Taihang Mountain stretches across thousands of miles, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Back then Zhang Yan occupied it, and the imperial court failed to suppress it for several years, and repeatedly sent troops to Merge, Hebei, and You prefectures to be attacked.

Even a mere Zhang Yan can turn upside down, one can imagine how good the terrain of Taihang Mountain is.

Once Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered there, they would garrison troops in ambush.

There will never be peace in Hebei.

Xu Ding said: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must not be allowed to enter Taihang Mountain."

"Your Majesty, I think that this matter cannot be rushed."

"what?"

Guo Jiadao: "Although our current military strength is larger than that of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, if we want to guarantee victory in one battle, we also have to prevent them from fleeing into the Taihang Mountains. Defeated but not dead, he will go into the mountains soon, and it will be difficult to find him again."

"What do you suggest?"

Guo Jiadao: "I suggest that after going to Bingzhou, first station troops on the border of Jianxing and Xinle, and arrange an ambush on the outskirts of Taiyuan and the Taihang Mountains near Taiyuan. When the decisive battle with Zhuge Liang is made, let them come to join the battle, not only It can prevent Liu Bei from escaping, and can also take advantage of the situation to block the exit of Taihang Mountain to prevent Liu Bei from entering the mountain."
