Chapter 773: Mobilize troops and horses to fight to the death without retreating
"Wang Xiang's reinforcements are coming!"

In Shouchun City, another group of soldiers and horses reorganized from Xuzhou were sent to Shouchun City and became a new cannon fodder in Shouchun City.

As the chief commander of Cao Wei, Cao Xiu had reached a desperate situation a long time ago, and there were very few soldiers and horses under his command.

At the most critical moment, Wang Xiang personally took action, mobilizing troops from Xuzhou again and again, and then supplemented Shouchun's defense.

This ensured that it was not directly attacked by the Han army's attacks.

However, in two months, the Han army suffered heavy losses, and as the battle continued, the daily fighting became more brutal, and the casualties doubled.

The same is true for Ke Shouchun.

After the moat was filled and the city gates were blocked, a large number of corpses were piled under the city, which became the stepping stone for the Han army to attack the city.

At the same time, the long battle caused a plague to break out in the city, and it even spread to the Han army.

But even so, neither party would give up.

Zhao Yun, whose face gradually turned pale, knew very well that this was their last chance. Pang Tong had persisted in the land of Qingxu for such a long time.

This is the opportunity I have been waiting for.

And they also only have one chance.

With Cao Wei's Nine-Rank Zhongzheng method, even if they only have a few states, as long as they continue to lower their bottom line, they will have a steady stream of talents pouring out.

These people will not worry about what will happen after surrender in the future. They are more willing to use this opportunity to grow up and then get more benefits in the future.

After all, a mature dynasty needs countless talented people to fill it and increase the power of the family, even if it affects one generation or two.

Because they will have endless opportunities later.
so.
"Shou Chun must be conquered."

In the Han army's central tent, Zhao Yun reiterated his order again. Looking at Wang Ping, Wei Yan and others in front of him, Zhao Yun made a bold decision.

"Mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the mountains, and send an order to the navy and Zhang Yi and others who are still wandering in the rear to surround Shouchun!"

In March of the second year of Jianxing, after nearly half a year, Zhao Yun finally personally led his troops to break through the city wall of Shouchun.

At this time, there was not much left in Shouchun City, and Cao Xiu was in a life-and-death dilemma tortured by the epidemic and pain.

In agreement with him, Zhao Yun, a veteran of the Han army, was also very weak, but still insisted on leading his troops to break through the city of Shouchun and rush into Shouchun's city.

Amid the flames of war and fighting, Cao Xiu continued to hold on in the city for seven days.

In the end, he was surrounded and killed outside the ruins of the palace once built by Yuan Shu.

The head was cut off by Wei Yan and taken away.

After that, the Han army advanced across the board into Xuzhou, Xiapi Guangling and other places. Under the leadership of the Xiapi Chen family, they were the first to choose to surrender.

And it brought enough troops and sincerity.

Of course, Wang Xiang, the governor of Xuzhou, also "died" of illness in his mansion in Xuzhou, and left his last words before his death.

"A son of man cannot be filial to prolong the life of his parents, and a minister cannot be loyal to defend his country. What is a man who is disloyal and unfilial?"

Just because of these words, Wang Xiang's reputation was once again raised. Even if it was for the sake of loyalty and filial piety for the people of the world in the future, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others could not do anything to the Wang family of Xuzhou Langya.
"Wang Xiang, you really have a good reputation!"

The anger in his heart turned into such a curse, and then the army rushed towards the land of Mount Tai.

In May, Cao Wei Zhijin Wu Zang Ba died in battle on Mount Tai, and his son Zang Ai died with him. Zang Shun and his grandson Zang Quan chose to lead the remaining troops to surrender.Zhao Yun ordered his body to be collected and buried.

Because of Pang Tong, this veteran who had his military power taken away had to be used again, and he did use his many years of prestige in Xuzhou to stabilize the situation.

At the same time, he directly suppressed Pang Tong back because of his incomparable familiarity with Mount Tai.

Except for the Jiangdong Wen clan who stayed in Liaodong to help Guan Xing and Zhang Bao govern the place, Pang Tong's other generals were also badly damaged.

It is rare for the Zhuge family to come out with a general who was proficient in water warfare, Zhuge Zhi, who died in battle, and Jiangdong's general Wei Wen was seriously injured.

Jiangdong surrendered generals Chen Yuan, Lu Shi, Xiang Qing, Jiang Su, Zhou Yin and others were killed one after another.

In the end, only Zhuge Dan and more than a thousand people persisted.

Liu Bei, who once planned to travel far to Liaodong, opened the second and third battlefields behind Cao Wei, and almost completed the division of the north and the south, re-strategized Pang Tong.

In fact, he died of illness in Mount Tai a few months ago.

The long-term wind and frost made his body unable to hold on at all. In the end, Zhuge Dan blocked the news, and then he persisted until the arrival of Zhao Yun and others.

After Li Yan heard the news, he also came to Pang Tong's tomb alone one night.

Looking at the lonely tomb, he sat there all night. It was not until the next morning that anyone discovered that Li Yan had relapsed from his old injury last night and died of illness in Pang Tong's tomb.

This is what Li Yan said the most along the way.

"Pang Shiyuan, this guy who didn't deserve a good death, once I see this guy, I, Li Yan, will definitely make him give an explanation!
Is this how Lumenshan teaches his disciples? "

Until the moment Li Yan closed his eyes, he didn't get an explanation from Pang Tong.

Since there is no such thing as Xuzhou, then there is naturally nothing that can resist it in Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

Especially when Zhang Yan suddenly sent troops to help Zhuge Liang and Deng Ai encircle him, and cut off all the connections between Huguan and Yecheng.

This Cao Wei has completely lost hope.

Guan Qiujian, the guard of Huguan, knew that he had committed a serious crime. He mistrusted Wang Jun and strongly recommended him to Cao Zhen, which led to the current defeat.

When the guards at Huguan were hopeless and his soldiers wanted to surrender, he drew his sword and killed himself. He went to Jiuquan in person to apologize to Cao Zhen.

Naturally, his descendants also fought until the last moment, until they were all killed.

The other generals of Huguan opened this pass, which was no longer important, and allowed the Han to complete the final encirclement of Yecheng.

In November of the second year of Jianxing, Ma Chao led his army to attack Yecheng and massacred the Cao family's mansion in Yecheng, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

They even excavated the tomb of Cao Mengde without authorization, as well as the tombs of Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others next to his tomb.

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he ordered to appease the people and collect their bones, but it was of no use.

The corpses were so damaged that all the Cao clan members who stayed in Yecheng were killed.

In the end, Zhuge Liang could only order Ma Chao to be more serious, and take back his military power, ordering him to return to Chang'an, in a claustrophobic mansion.

He is not allowed to continue to command troops.
From then on, the horses returned to the stables, but Ma Dai, Pang De and others, as well as Ma Chao's descendants, were still in control of the military, fighting for the great man.
