Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 437 Another Year

At dawn the next day, Tai Shici organized his troops and went to the city to fight.

But Sun Ce in the city wouldn't talk to him anyway.

The Fifth Route Army has already broken the second point. Although the navy on the river failed, Li Bao's navy was unable to come ashore. It can be said that the Fifth Route Army has lost the third point. Yuan Shu's army alone is completely against Jianye City Not a threat.

Sun Ce even had a good night's sleep and didn't get up until the sun was high.

Poor Tai Shici scolded dryly outside the city all morning, but nobody paid any attention to him.

In the end, Yuan Shu couldn't stand it any longer, and asked someone to bring a jar of wine to Tai Shici and bring it to him. Tai Shici was drinking and cursing outside the city until the afternoon, but still no one paid any attention to him.

Helpless, Tai Shici had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

Seeing the stalemate in the war, Yuan Shu immediately wrote a book to Yu Huaxiong, informing him of the incident and asking what to do next.

At the same time, the Jingzhou Army led by Wang Wei withdrew to Luling when they saw that there was nothing they could do.

Since then, the Jiangdong war has temporarily calmed down.

A few days later, Hua Xiong's handwriting came from Yecheng, Yuan Shu read it and immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Chaisang.

Before leaving, Yuan Shu asked Tai Shici where he wanted to go. For several days, Di Qingluocheng and Tai Shici had cherished each other, and forged a deep friendship.

Knowing that Tai Shici still wanted to go back to Wu County, Luo Chengqi was very upset, and pulled Tai Shici to force him to go back to Chaisang with him.

Tai Shici was quite moved in his heart, but he didn't want to let down Liu Yao's kindness to him. In the end, Tai Shici said to Luo Cheng: "This time when I returned to Wu County, I came to Chai Sang to repay the kindness of Zhengli Gong Zhiyu. See you two."

Luo Cheng was unwilling at the moment, but seeing Luo Cheng and Tai Shici arguing, and Tai Shici being so determined, Di Qing held Luo Zheng back and said:

"Everyone has his own aspirations, Ziyi has his own ideas, let him go, maybe after many days, he, Liu Zhengli, will directly surrender to the lord!"

Luo Cheng heard the words and said reluctantly: "That is the best."

Tai Shici gave a small smile, and then everyone bowed their hands to say goodbye. Since then, the war in Jiangdong has come to an end.

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of summer in a blink of an eye.

On this day, a fast horse galloped into Yecheng suddenly with an order, and the latest news from Yizhou was passed before the Huaxiong case: a fire broke out in Mianzhu, which once burned down half of the mansion of Mu Liu Yan in Yizhou. The capital was moved to Chengdu.

Looking at this battle report, Hua Xiong showed a slight smile, he knew that it wasn't just Liu Yan's mansion that was burned.

Half a month later, news of Liu Yan's death came from Yizhou, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded him.

After hearing this news, Tian Feng looked at Hua Xiong who was above him as if seeing a heavenly man, Hua Xiong just smiled and said:

"Yuan Hao, how are you? I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the governor of Yizhou!"

Tian Feng bowed his head and said: "But according to the general's order."

A few days later, another piece of news from Hanzhong also came. Cao Mengde really entered Hanzhong, so Zhang Lu came to vote!
For a moment everyone in Ye City was shocked, and Hua Xiong even laughed and said, "Meng De is a great talent, a great talent!"

Li Ru stepped forward and asked, "How does the general want to arrange that Zhang Lu?"

Hua Xiong thought for a while and said:
"All the soldiers and horses of the Hanzhong Plain were scattered and incorporated into the Liangzhou Tuntian Army. Zhang Luxing served as the prefect of Hanzhong, managing the government but not the army. Meng De entered Hanzhong as the governor of Dongchuan."

Soon, Hua Xiong's order was passed on to Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao had already heard the news of Liu Yan's death. He remembered Hua Xiong and his entrustment that day, and secretly sent people to Shuzhong to secretly contact Pang Yi, Zhao Wei and others.

Under Cao Cao's offensive that spared no expense, Pang Yi, Zhao Wei and other older generals left behind by Liu Yan had their own thoughts in their hearts.

At the same time, the newly appointed Liu Zhang also found that the big clans in Yizhou under him did not seem to support him very much.

The contradiction between the old Liuyan Group headed by Pang Yi and Zhao Wei and the local elites in Yizhou, which were originally in harmony with each other under Liu Yan's rule, seemed to be getting out of control.

While Yizhou's undercurrents were surging, news also came from Jingzhou: Liu Biao married Cai Mao's sister as his step-wife, and Liu and Cai's two families became in-laws.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and it was late autumn.

After a year of development, several states under Hua Xiong's command ushered in their first bumper harvest after the war. At the same time, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's Northern Expedition Army began to see scale, and the Liaodong Navy and Qingzhou Navy also made small achievements.

This year's bumper harvest greatly eased the shortage of grain and grass in the Huaxiong Military Group.

Li Jue and Guo Si from Shandan Racecourse sent more than 4000 newly grown horses, and Tian Yu from Youzhou also sent [-] horses.

With a wave of his hand, Hua Xiong sent all the horses to Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.

Soon, Zhao Yun wrote a letter stating that if there is sufficient food and grass, the certificate can be issued in the coming year.

In a blink of an eye, this year has come to the end of the year.

In the cold winter, when the whole city of Ye was decorating with lights and festivities, Hua Xiong was startled by a piece of news from Jiangdong.

Then Sun Ce took advantage of the cold winter and led two thousand dead men to attack Wu County in the bitter cold wind, beheading Liu Yao. Liu Yao's general Tai Shici died under the siege of Sun Ce, Zhou Tai and Ling Cao. He was seriously injured and hid in the mountains without knowing his life or death.

Later, Sun Ce didn't stop there. His army continued to go south, conquering the entire territory of Wujun and Kuaiji counties in a row. So far, half of the six Jiangdong counties have fallen into Sun Ce's hands.

Hua Xiong couldn't help sighing: "Of course it just gave Sun Bofu a chance to breathe, but now he has won half of Yangzhou. In the coming year, no matter what, I will raise an army to march south!"
Since Hua Xiong said these words, all states have started preparations, both openly and secretly.

Three months later, the winter snow disappeared and spring came.

A year later, Hua Xiong went out in person again, accompanied by [-] Iron Eagle Guards, [-] Wudang Flying Army, [-] Song Heavy Infantry, [-] Da Song Garrison Arrows, [-] Tie Xue Army, and [-] Iron Guards. There are [-] pagodas, [-] cavalry shooting eagles, and [-] horse infantry troops in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou.

A total of more than [-] horses traveled southward in an all-round way, entering Huainan, Jiangxia, and Nanyang.

The news that Hua Xiong personally led the army to the south was like a hurricane blowing across the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it was Liu Biao in Jingzhou or Sun Ce in Jianye, they were all very nervous after hearing the news.

Liu Biao sent general Wenpin to lead 5 troops to Fancheng in the north of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he ordered Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Huang Zu to lead tens of thousands of Jingzhou navy to drill day and night on the Yangtze River.

Sun Ce of Jianye ordered people to build beacon towers along the river to strictly prevent troops from the north of the river from crossing the river.

On the way of Hua Xiong's march, news came again from Liu Bei, who had disappeared for nearly half a year.

Then Liu Bei escaped to Guiyang, and became the guest of Guiyang prefect Zhao Fan, and even took Zhao Fan's sister-in-law.

Hua Xiong couldn't help sighing, this Liu Bei is really a cockroach, with extremely tenacious vitality.
