Chapter 353 The Battle of Yuxi
An hour later, the entire city of Xiangyang was almost searched, and the soldiers under Yan Yan's command also found Yuan Shu's hiding place.

Yuan Shu's last [-] elite guards around this private house, relying on the location to resist the enemy troops outside.

Yuan Shu himself was still slumped in the house, his son had already been captured by Yan Yan's soldiers in the street fighting.

"Yuxi, my jade seal. You traitorous officials and thieves have come to rob me of my jade seal openly. You are treasonous! Heinous!" Yuan Shu roared with bloodshot eyes, but his spirit was already slumped to the point of collapse.

Yan Yan could hear Yuan Shu's roar from outside. He snorted coldly and said to himself, "Yuan Gonglu, he hasn't realized his situation yet. A mere Yuan family background makes him arrogant enough to call himself emperor. noisy!"

Glancing at the courtyard with disdain, Yan Yan raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Rush in, the people inside will be shot to death! Protect the jade seal and don't break it!"

With an order, Yan Yan's soldiers rushed into the courtyard directly. Even if the hundred elite soldiers bravely blocked them, they died tragically by the sword in the end.Yan Yan has too many soldiers, and it is simply not an existence that these 100 people can compete with.

Yuan Shu was still wearing the golden dragon robe, holding the jade seal box in his left hand and the sword in his right, roaring hysterically.

More than a dozen soldiers had already surrounded Yuan Shu, and one of the bold soldiers shot out and directly entered Yuan Shu's side ribs!
"Come on, grab the jade seal!"

Several Yizhou soldiers signaled to each other, rushed up and hacked Yuan Shu to death.

Yuan Shu, who was still nostalgic for Yuxi, lay on his back, with blood gushing from the corners of his mouth, but still murmured to himself with wide eyes: "My Yuxi, I am the emperor... I am... the emperor..."

His body was trembling slightly, Yuan Shu was on the verge of death.

Yan Yan walked into the courtyard, and seeing Yuan Shu like this, he snorted coldly, drew out his waist knife and beheaded Yuan Shu!

"Take Yuan Shu's head and preserve it with lime, burn the body directly, strip off the yellow robe and bring it back to the prime minister for disposal."

"Quickly tell the soldiers to stop looting. Let's lead the troops to retreat and go to fight with General Xiahou Dun."

Yan Yan narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops. He didn't want to be blocked by Liu Bei's army.

Although Liu Bei is a Han official, he is also a clan member of the Han family in name, but for Yan Yan, Liu Bei's current clan status has not been recognized by the emperor.

It's just that he stated that he is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, but Yan Yan doesn't believe that a descendant of the royal family will go back to weave mats and sell shoes.At the very least, without the emperor's proof, Liu Bei's identity is not enough for Yan Yan to respect.

Twenty miles outside the city of Xiangyang, Zhang Fei led his troops back and met his own army.

Zhang Fei galloped up to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu, and reported, "Brother, two military advisers, I also took down the east gate of Xiangyang before, but Xiahou Dun's vanguard took down the south gate before me. And he also has a There is an imperial decree that I am not allowed to lead troops to search the Xiangyang Prefect's Mansion. There is an imperial decree, and I am afraid that using troops with him will be regarded as treason, so I can only lead the troops to pull out first. However, the east gate is still under our control. Can enter the city!"

After Liu Bei heard the third brother's report, he was quite satisfied, but he knew that Yuxi might not be available.

Zhuge Liang frowned, and after he and Xu Shu looked at each other, they both wanted to understand something.

Xu Shu sighed helplessly, and said, "Three generals, you have been deceived! Xiahou Dun didn't set out from Chengdu, how could there be an imperial edict? And even if there was an imperial edict, how could Xiahou Dun give such an important thing to a Pioneer? Let's march quickly, maybe we can get a piece of the pie before Cao Jun leaves Xiangyang!"

After Zhang Fei heard Xu Shu's words, he slapped his head and blamed himself.

"That's right! Why didn't I look at the imperial decree at the time, if it was the imperial decree of Yuan Shu, the traitor called emperor, I would have been deceived!"

Guan Yu sighed helplessly, and without further ado, he led the cavalry to attack Xiangyang City.

Zhang Fei also immediately turned his horse's head, followed behind his second brother, and headed towards Xiangyang again.

Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly, because he knew that Yuxi might not be available.

In the time it took Zhang Fei to come here from Xiangyang City, Cao Jun's vanguard would have killed Yuan Shu long ago and evacuated south with Yuxi.

three days later

In the city of Jiangling, Cao Pi led the army to Jiangling and traveled starry night.

Thirty miles to the south from Jiangling, it is considered to be an area where barbarians are rampant.

The prefect of Jiangling City is Li Yan, a new local official in the prime minister's mansion.

It used to be called Yingdu, and it was the capital of Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It's just that the ancient site of Yingdu is further to the south, which belongs to the newly built Jiangling City to resist the invasion of the Nanman.

In the prefect's mansion, Li Yan reported the situation of Nanman in detail, and also told the situation of Jiaozhou controlled by Shi Xie.

Sima Yi, Fazheng, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were all worried, especially Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.

After all, they are soldiers who have fought for many years, so they naturally know that the current situation is not good.

The weather in the south is hot and weird, and many soldiers have already begun to acclimatize, fearing that it will be difficult to fight for a long time.

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Second Young Master, we may not be able to fight recklessly this time, but we must find a way to outwit Nanman."

"From here to the southwest, there is a new leader of the Nanman, Meng Huo. It is said that he is a very young man, and he is easy to deal with. After all, he is young, and he has not controlled the Nanman tribe for many years."

"From here to the southeast is the Wuximan tribe. The leader is Shamoke, who is said to have the courage of a thousand men. It will be very convenient if we can recover Shamoke first, and then lead troops to surrender Menghuo."

After Cao Zhen heard what Sima Yi said, he was very dissatisfied, and shouted: "Sima Yi, you are talking nonsense! Jiaozhou is so big, why don't you think about why Shi Xie has been unable to lead troops to leave here for so many years?"

"The Nanban is difficult to deal with, especially the Wuxi Man. They are in a favorable location and weather conditions. We can't deal a blow to the Wuxi Man. How can we recover?"

After Sima Yi heard Cao Zhen's words, he immediately fell silent, because the words were not groundless.

If Wuximan was easy to deal with, how could Shi Xie, an ambitious man, go north without leading his troops?
Cao Pi frowned, and waved his hand to tell Cao Zhen and Sima Yi not to argue anymore.

Cao Pi snorted coldly, and said, "No matter what, we have to take down the Wuximan! Didn't Zhongda say that Uncle Xiahoudun wants to take Yuxi back to Yizhou, so he has to go to our side."

"At that time, with the help of Uncle Xiahou, it will be no problem to take down Wuximan. I don't believe that they will not be tempted by threats and temptations. The difficulty is Meng Huo. support him."

"All the soldiers of the Cave Masters in Nanman add up to [-] to [-] people. If they can be used by me, why worry about the position of the prince?"

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, even in front of Li Yan, he still didn't hide himself at all.

When Li Yan heard that the second son had mentioned the position of the son, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear it.

Once this kind of thing is involved, it will be very troublesome.
