The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

The wild king Cao Jun's barracks fifty miles away from Chang'an.

After a sleepless night, Han Hao was still pacing at dawn.

His deep-set eyes were bloodshot, his brows were tightly knit, and suspicion and anger appeared and disappeared from time to time on that face.

"Zhong Yao, you have lost Chang'an, and now you want to take my military power from Han Hao, it's a bit deceitful!"

Han Hao muttered to himself, gritting his teeth secretly from time to time.

As the number two figure in the entire Sili area, Han Hao is not afraid of Zhong Yao. At first, Zhong Yao had [-] elite soldiers in his hands, so he naturally looked down on Han Hao's tens of thousands of remnants. The city of Chang'an was occupied, and the prefectures and counties around Chang'an were also occupied. Ma Chao and other generals occupied the prefectures and counties they wanted to capture one after another. Therefore, Zhong Yao now has no troops, only Han Hao has [-] troops , so Zhong Yao wanted to control the [-] troops and restore the entire Sili area.

Zhong Yao, who had great power back then, did not dare to suppress himself like this.

But now, Zhong Yao dares to despise himself, which was unimaginable in the past.

Han Hao knew very well that the direct cause of Zhong Yao's change in attitude was the fall of Chang'an.

Chang'an has fallen, and Zhong Yao, who holds Chang'an's heavy soldiers, has lost his glory.

"In this troubled world, it is true that whoever has the soldiers and horses is the truth. Could it be that I really want to hand over my soldiers and horses to others?"

Han Hao asked himself, but his brows were flickering unwillingly.

After pondering for a while, Han Hao showed a bit of disdain on his anxious face.

"Zhong Yao used to hold a large army and treated me with courtesy, but today he lost the entire army, but he was thinking about the strength in my hands. This is a bit deceiving. No wonder Zhong Hui is so arrogant and domineering. What kind of person is the old man, what kind of person is the kid..."

Han Hao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The two words "Jiang Chu" pierced his heart like a knife blade.

Only Han Hao's [-] troops are left in the entire Sili area. If Han Hao leads his [-] troops to surrender to Chu, it will directly mark the loss of the entire Sili area.

When I was wondering, there was a sudden movement outside the tent, as if something happened.

Han Hao's thoughts were interrupted, so he put aside the matter on his mind for the time being, opened the curtain and went outside.

The soldiers rushed back and forth to tell each other, and all of them had a little bit of joy on their brows, as if something exciting had happened.

Han Hao then grabbed a soldier and asked, "What happened?"

The soldier said happily: "My lord, the scouts just sent back the news that Lu Bu's army that was chasing us suddenly retreated westward and stopped pursuing them."

"Retreat?"

Han Hao's expression was shocked.

The soldiers were naturally happy when they heard that there was no need to fight anymore, and the entire Jiangxia army camp soon fell into joy.

Han Hao stood there in a daze, his eyes blank.

He couldn't figure it out, Lv Bu's army broke through many counties in the Sili area one after another. Now as long as they break through Han Hao's army, they can directly attack Xuchang, but at this moment they retreated so inexplicably.

Moreover, this retreat happened on the second day Zhong Yao came here.

Han Hao was shocked, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Could it be that Lu Bu and Zhong Yao reached some agreement in secret, which is why they failed to retreat? If not, how should Lu Bu's unreasonable retreat be explained?"

Han Hao's thoughts became more and more intense, and all the strings in his mind were constantly combined to make this idea more and more solid.

Han Hao clenched his fists secretly, and muttered in his mouth: "It seems that I have to go back to Xuchang quickly..."

Sili Xiaowei's Mansion in Chang'an City.

From the day when he sent troops with great fanfare, Lu Bu had no intention of going to war with Han Hao at all, because he wanted to force Han Hao to surrender.

The so-called soldiers pointed directly at Han Hao's camp, and then hastily withdrew the troops, which was nothing more than part of the alienation plan.

Lu Bu built a barracks on the spot for all the soldiers who had returned from the pursuit, and took the time to recharge their batteries and train the soldiers.

After conquering Chang'an that day, Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to massacre the family members of the Chang'an City Bell. After that, in order to win people's hearts, he took advantage of the situation and recruited many members of the second-class family members who were suppressed by Zhong Yao. Used abroad. .

These people were not reused during Zhong Yao's time, but now they are supported by Lu Bu, and while being grateful, everyone is naturally active and trying their best to do things for Lu Bu and the state of Chu.

Under Lv Bu's eclectic policy of employing talents, and Xu Shuyu's strictness in the law, the counties under the rule of the Sili area soon took on a thriving new atmosphere.

Therefore, within a few months after the capture of Chang'an, the scholars and people in the newly occupied areas fell in love with them.

The support of Chang'an's people will be Lu Bu's next step to attack eastward, and it will not be long before he and Nie Zefeng join forces in Xuchang. Right now, Lu Bu is accumulating strength while waiting for the opportunity.

At that time, Han Hao surrendered.

At Xu Shu's suggestion, Lu Bu ordered all the secret agents to spread the rumor that Han Hao was about to surrender to the Chu army.

The effect is naturally obvious. According to the rewards of careful work, not only Zhong Yao has doubts about Han Hao, Han Hao has doubts about Zhong Yao, but most importantly, the entire Cao clan has also doubted Han Hao.

Ten days later, Lv Bu received a report in Sili Xiaowei's residence. Zhong Yao and Han Hao fought against each other. In the end, Zhong Yao took the lead and seized Han Hao's military power by taking advantage of Han Hao's opportunity to go to Xuchang. When Han Hao returned, he saw Feeling annoyed when the power fell, he contacted some old ministries, and then killed Zhong Yao.

Han Hao had no choice but to return to Chu, but after this mutiny, Han Hao's 2 troops lost more than [-] horses.

Han Hao led thousands of people along the road ignited by the war.

Ten miles away from Chang'an, only 5000 of the 3000 people escaped.

When it was five miles away from Chang'an, there were only more than 3000 horses left among the 500 people.

When it was two miles away from Chang'an, there were only 500 people left out of 800 people.

When they finally arrived in Chang'an, there were only 800 soldiers and horses left among the [-] troops.

Lu Bu put Han Hao and his 500 troops under Zang Ba's tent. At the grand welcome banquet for Han Hao's surrender, Lu Bu also announced that he would send troops to Xuchang on a certain day, and join forces with King Nie Zefeng of Chu in Xuchang.

In the sound of countless soldiers shouting "Long live, long live...", Lu Bu completed the occupation of the entire Sili area.

There are ten points in the world, and now King Nie Zefeng of Chu has four points.It can be said that the army is strong and the horse is strong, and it can be said that the righteousness is thin. At this time, Nie Zefeng, the king of Chu who is thousands of miles away, has just finished the battle of Huainan, occupied Huainan, and lived a comfortable life, the last comfortable life before the war.
