The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1203 The Fall of the Three Kings ([-])

Ma Long's final death was very heroic. Thousands of arrows pierced his body to death. As long as the body could be inserted with arrows, they were densely filled with arrows. Obviously, in order to deal with Ma Long, the Han army used the most terrifying weapon, the Yuanrong Crossbow. , Under the salvo of dozens of Yuanrong crossbows, Ma Long had almost no chance of escape.

As soon as Ma Long died, the Qingzhou soldiers completely collapsed. Those who died died and those who surrendered. In the encirclement of the Han army, the entire army was wiped out, and no one escaped.

In the process of chasing Ma Long, the Han army had already swept most of the counties and counties in Yanzhou. Almost all the time has been taken, and with the current defense capabilities of these counties, it is simply impossible to withstand the attack of the Han army.The few counties and counties that did not surrender also quickly handed over the letter of surrender after the Battle of Mount Tai.

After Deng Pu and Fu Mo successfully captured Yanzhou, they continued to march eastward and entered Qingzhou.

After Ma Long's death, the counties in Qingzhou were already in a mess. Before the Han army arrived, the prefects and magistrates of the counties had already erected white flags, opened the city gates, sprinkled water to sweep the streets, and dedicated the city to surrender. , wherever the Qinglong Army and White Tiger Army went, they were invincible and won without fighting.

This can't be blamed on Deng Pu and Fu Mo's fighting too easily. The situation in Qingzhou as a whole is almost the same as that in Yanzhou. The soldiers and horses of the remote counties such as Donglai, Chengyang, and Le'an are even more rare. It is a dead end.

Secondly, these gentry families in the land of Qingyan were all gentry families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. When the Jin Kingdom perished, they attached and supported Qingzhou Governor Ma Long to stand on their own in the land of Qingyan. The national flag, but no one has any sense of identity, thinking that they are from the state of Wu, and after Ma Long's death, no one will fight to the end for the flag of the state of Wu.

However, most of the local shijia forces are useless. No matter whether the surname is Cao, Sima or Liu, it doesn't make much difference to them. If they can keep their one-acre three-point land, they are already I am content.

And Liu Yin's order to the Han army is that all officials who voluntarily surrender and surrender will stay in their posts, and the officials will stay in their original posts. When the Han army enters the city, there will be no crime in Minqiu, and those who take anything will be executed!Whoever kills one person recklessly, beheaded!Those who resist in the corner will be killed without exception, and all property will be confiscated.

In this way, no matter whether it is officials, scholars or even ordinary people, those who surrender are eager to catch up, and they are afraid that if they surrender too late, their lives and property will not be preserved.

Deng Pu and Fu Zhao easily took Yanzhou and Qingzhou without bloodshed, and then were ordered to send their troops south to attack Xuzhou and Huainan.

As for the land of Xuhuai, there is also no owner of a hundred cities now, because Shi Bao, the main owner of the land of Xuhuai, is now on the way to escape, and has no dominance and control over his own land at all.

Compared with Chen Qian and Ma Long, Shi Bao was much luckier. His troops were dispersed by the cavalry of the Han army when they fled Luoyang. Disguised all the way, disguised himself as a big soldier, and fled southeast desperately.

It is precisely because Shi Bao's target is small and he deliberately concealed his identity that he was able to escape the heavy blows of the Han army. Like Chen Qian, he gathered his subordinates and tried to form an formation to fight against the Han army. In the end, he was the first to die , like Ma Long, selected the elite and tried to escape, but was followed and chased by the Han army, and finally died at the foot of Mount Tai.

But Shi Bao is much smarter than them. Anyway, the Han army is too strong. Even if you gather all your strength, you are not an opponent. Then it is better to break it up and break through separately. When the Han army attacks, there is no one to attack. The target, on the contrary, is easy to get away.

Shi Bao's wise move brought him unlimited opportunities for escape.However, it is also very risky to do so, because the Han army carried out indiscriminate attacks on most of the separated Wu army and Kwantung army in the encirclement, that is to say, if Shi Bao was unlucky and hit the attack of the Han army When they were in the army, their relatively small force was easily wiped out by the Han army.

Of course, this probability is far less than the attack after his identity is exposed. Shi Bao is completely gambling. As long as he does not encounter the main force of the Han army, he still has a chance to escape from the encirclement.

Shi Bao's luck was relatively good. Although he was attacked by several Han troops, there was no main force of the Han army. Such a small-scale attack was relatively easy for Shi Bao, who left an elite guard by his side.

After rolling all the way, Shi Bao arrived in the Xuchang area.Since Cao Pi moved the capital to Luoyang, the status of Xuchang City has gone from bad to worse, and finally became a small and unknown county.When Shi Bao rushed here, although the pursuers were getting far behind, he didn't dare to go into the city to rest, but took a short rest in Shilizhuang in the east of Xuchang City.

Sun Shuo cupped his hands to Shi Bao and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for successfully breaking through the encirclement."

Shi Bao looked at the far away dust and smoke in the north, and said with a chuckle: "It's because of my quick wit, I broke the whole into parts, so that the people of Shu couldn't figure out the reality, so I had a chance to escape. If you try to escape like Chen Xiuyuan, If you fight against the Shu people, you will probably be buried in Luoyang this time."

Sun Shuo said: "Your Majesty's ingenious plan, even if Zhang Liang is reborn and Zhuge is reborn, it may not be as good as it should be."

Shi Bao smiled and said: "Thank you, if this king really has the ability of Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang, this battle may not be so badly defeated, but there is also a plan for defeating the battle, if it is not for this king's little plan , it’s really not easy to get out.”

Sun Shuo said: "Your Majesty, this place is not a place to stay for a long time. It is better to leave early and go back to Huainan. Only by returning to Huainan can the soldiers feel at ease."

Shi Bao nodded and said: "That's right, Xuchang is still close to Luoyang. If we stay here for a long time, the Shu soldiers will definitely chase people, and the only way to go back to Huainan is the root. Send me an order, immediately raise troops, and go eastward." And do."

Sun Shuo couldn't help being confused, and said: "Your Majesty, did you make a mistake? To go to Huainan, you have to go southeast."

Shi Bao smiled slyly and said, "Of course I know that to get to Huainan, we have to go east, but you know this road, and the Shu people may not know it. If we go southeast, maybe the Shu people have already set up an ambush halfway. Now, go east first, look for opportunities and then go south, so as to avoid the Shu people."
