The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 263 Half a year
Lu Bu's begging for surrender was rejected, and he ended up decapitated in a different place.

Guo Jia would not regret how many such celebrities died, anyway, he never admired people like Lu Bu, no matter how big his fists were, without a good mind to direct them, in the end it was still the courage of a man.

Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to Xuchang, met the emperor, and obtained the status of emperor uncle recognized by the emperor Liu Xie.

Liu Xie asked Liu Bei to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. In fact, he was wooing foreign aid, and Liu Bei was overjoyed to confirm the identity of this emperor's uncle.

He lost a little Pei in exchange for "Uncle Liu Huang".

After Guo Jia learned about it, he joked to Qin Mi, "Liu Xuande made a good deal."

In Guo Jia's eyes, Liu Bei has made a lot of money!
In the past, he was the one who said about his royal status. Even if Liu Xie really took out the genealogy, who can be sure that Liu Bei is really a descendant of the Han Dynasty?

In the 400-year-old Han Dynasty, there were many short-lived emperors, and countless romantic emperors and princes. They are really full of descendants, and they cannot be counted. Let alone a dozen generations, they are several generations up. People, I am afraid that the descendants of the Han Dynasty are as numerous as stars.

If Guo Jia was an unknown person, if he wanted to bluff and deceive, he could easily recognize a cheap dead ghost father as his origin if he studied the genealogy of the Han Dynasty in depth.

Liu Bei confirmed his status as a royal family, and his political capital suddenly rose.

If Yuan Shao goes to war with Cao Cao, it will be a rebellion.If Liu Bei fights Cao Cao, he can set up the banner of "the side of the Qing emperor". Since he was recognized by Liu Xie as a descendant of the royal family, Liu Bei can justifiably carry the banner of the Han Dynasty, and his political appeal for recruiting troops is stronger.

In the past, Liu Bei did have popular popularity, but this reputation could not bring him political status, but a "Uncle Liu Huang" could make him jump up and become the focus of the world's attention.

Cao Cao wanted to eliminate his worries in a short period of time. Zhang Xiu Lu Bu either surrendered or died, as well as Liu Biao and Sun Ce. Cao Cao wanted to eliminate these two, but he was powerless.

Sun Ce's sweeping of Jiangdong was unstoppable, and Cao Cao was very jealous. On the premise that there was no grievance in the past, Cao Cao didn't want to take the initiative to make enemies, and the best policy is to win over and appease.

Cao Cao cast his eyes outside his territory, but he didn't expect that something happened under his nose that caught him off guard.

Yuan Shu fled to Hebei in embarrassment. When he passed by Xuzhou, Cao Cao learned of the news. Liu Bei asked Ying to destroy Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao agreed in a strange way.

The results show that there are advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Yuan Shu's death was not a homicide, but Yuan Gonggong, who had been pampered and respected for many years, died of illness on the way to escape. The son of the Yuan family, who was the fourth generation and the third lord, lived the last time of his life in mourning.

Cao Cao's purpose of sending Liu Bei out was achieved.

Yuan Shu withdrew from the stage of fighting for world hegemony.

But Liu Bei took the opportunity to defraud Xuzhou City. It cannot be blamed for the carelessness of Xuzhou defender Che Zhou. After all, Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle recognized by the Xuchang court, and Cao Cao approved to lead the army to Xuzhou. As a result, no one expected that Cao Cao had just acquired Xuzhou , Lost again in a blink of an eye.

After Liu Bei also captured Xuzhou City, he openly broke with Cao Cao.

Duke Ming became Cao thief.

Perhaps Liu Bei, who has always flaunted benevolence, righteousness and kindness, suddenly repeated. Cao Cao did not expect it, but he also smelled something unusual.

The imperial party made waves again.

This time, it's the clothing belt edict.

Just as Guo Jia wanted to keep an eye on one person in Yizhou, so that he would not miss anything, Cao Cao had many eyeliners in the Xuchang court. Although the imperial party had a lot of ties, he still caught Dong Cheng.

The blood in the belt has involved many people.

What made Cao Cao furious the most was Liu Bei and Ma Teng.

Objectively speaking, Cao Cao's anger is justified.

Cao Cao is indeed deployed in Xuzhou, Liu Bei lost Xiaopei, Cao Cao cannot get rid of the responsibility, but if Cao Cao really regards Liu Bei as an enemy, I am afraid that Liu Bei is now a lonely soul on the road to Huangquan.

But Cao Cao is a hero, and he also has a heroic complex. Liu Bei is certainly a general who is often defeated, but what he has done in the past is admirable.

When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou for the first time, Liu Bei rescued Xuzhou with poor soldiers and horses. With this courage alone, Cao Cao couldn't kill Liu Bei.

As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao is not only jealous, but also longing for such a peerless general.

He is a hero with a smiling face, respect for heroes, and preference for generals are no worse than anyone else, and he can often subdue many powerful generals who are hard to come by. For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao naturally loves them very much. Even after hearing Guan Yu say that Zhang Fei has the ability to take the head of an enemy general in a chaotic army, he immediately lost his color and wrote down Zhang Fei's name on his clothes. If he meets Zhang Fei on the battlefield one day, he must not be careless .

Without Cao Cao's shelter, Liu Bei would never be the "Uncle Liu Emperor". Such a result made Cao Cao angry and chilling.

Ma Teng was also involved in the Yidai Zhao incident. Cao Cao didn't have to follow Ma Tengxu to commit crimes. After the incident was exposed, Dong Cheng's family was killed. Ma Teng sent a letter to Xiliang Ma Chao through various channels before he was placed under house arrest. The letter stated that he wanted Ma Chao Against Cao to the end.

Cao Cao also intercepted a letter from Ma Teng, and he smiled wryly.

Originally, they wanted to use Ma Teng to blackmail Ma Chao and contain Guo Jia in Kansai.

Now, he is in a cocoon.

Ma Teng's family, young and old, also set foot in Huangquan.

The Ma family was massacred several times, even when Han Sui and Ma Teng were at odds, he also killed Ma Teng's family, and Cao Cao almost made the Ma family dead, leaving only the Ma family in Xiliang The struggling Ma Chao.

Because of Guo Jia's strategy of attacking Guanzhong, Ma Chao only had negligible strength to succeed Ma Teng in governing the territory, so Cao Cao was not afraid of Ma Chao, especially if Ma Chao wanted to come to the Central Plains, he had to go through Guo Jia's territory first. If there is a dispute, it will provoke a dispute between the two families, so Cao Cao has no fear of killing Ma Teng.

Not to kill.

On the eve of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, we must first stabilize the internal affairs and not allow the imperial party to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan, the three died at intervals of three months.

In fact, Yuan Shao had already pushed Gongsun Zan into a desperate situation, but Gongsun Zan just couldn't die.

Outside the city of Yijing, there is a moat, and beyond the moat, there is another moat, which weighs dozens of times!

And Yijing City was built by Gongsun Zan with high walls and thick walls, and countless food and grass were stored in the city. Gongsun Zan built a ten-foot-high pavilion in the city, and he lived with his family on it. The objects are all hung up with ropes, and the messengers are shouted by specially trained people with high voices.

It was such an absolute defensive strategy that made Yuan Shao helpless.

It was Yan Liang and Zhang Jai who went to the front line. It's hard to believe that they tried their best to lure Gongsun Zan out of the city, but they got nothing.

Tian Kai, Guan Jing and other generals were besieged outside Yijing City, and some of his subordinates suggested that Gongsun Zan go out of the city to rescue them.

But Gongsun Zan said something like this.

"If we save them, then the besieged people will not fight hard to break through in the future, so we can't save them."

What is more tragic than an abandoned child?

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jai and Yan Liang's strategy failed, so they sent Tian Kai, Guan Jing and other generals back to the west.

Yuan Shao urged him three times a day, Yan Liang's scalp became numb, and he was at a loss what to do.

At this moment, Zhang Jai calmly came up with a countermeasure.

Yuan Shao's army stopped attacking the city. Seeing this situation, Gongsun Zan spoke boldly: "Now that all the heroes are fighting together, it is obvious that no one can support me for a year. What can Yuan Shao do to me!"

Once upon a time, a hero said something similar.

"If you can't rule the world, you can live here for the rest of your life."

It has been less than ten years since Dong Zhuo died, but someone made the same mistake again.

Gongsun Zan's pavilion is very similar to the Meiwu built by Dong Zhuo back then.

Lu Bu stuck to Xiapi and was eventually betrayed by his subordinates, while Gongsun Zan never figured out how Yuan Shao's army entered Yijing until his death.

His tall building was set on fire.

Zhang Jaw's soldiers and horses appeared in Yi Jing City as if they had descended from the sky.

In fact, it is not descended from the sky, but born from the ground.

Yuan Jun dug a tunnel outside to go directly to Yijing. Perhaps, this should be the earliest tunnel tactic in history.

In the realm of ten deaths and no life, Gongsun Zan seemed to want to retain some dignity. He didn't want to let his family members be humiliated, so he killed them with his own hands, and then added another fire himself, and died in the sea of ​​flames.

The White Horse General, who was once feared by the Qiang people, has been lost in history.

Gongsun Zan's defeat was nothing more than four reasons. The battle line was too long, the defense line was too wide, and he did not have enough talents and troops to govern and defend, and Yuan Shao defeated them one by one.The second is that he is so ambitious, he thinks that if he has a territory, he will have an invincible capital. He not only appointed the governor of Qingzhou, but also appointed governors of Yanzhou and Yuzhou to take office.Third, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and lost the hearts of the people. Even if Liu Yu disagreed with his political views, Liu Yu was always his immediate boss.Zhao Yun's abandonment of Gongsun Zan was definitely not out of greed for life and fear of death.The last reason is that Liu Bei left Xuzhou from Tian Kai's command, which more or less caused Gongsun Zan's strength to decline. Although Liu Bei was by his side to help him, he might not be able to reverse his fate.

So far, Yuan Shao has unified Hebei in a true sense. In addition, he has formed a friendship with the Wuhuan Qiang people in the north, and all his worries about going south are relieved.

In just half a year.

The number of heroes in the world has decreased by three.

Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan.

Cao Cao had prepared everything, but now he turned around and attacked Xuzhou again.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, has already begun to raise his troops and horses, and he will march south as soon as he has stocked up enough food, grass and supplies.

Before the start of this battle to determine the pattern of Kanto, the eyes of different forces were unanimously cast on Kansai.

There is a person that must not be ignored.

He can change the fate of many people.

Guo Jia.
