Pang Tong immediately said: "I will go with you, I want to learn swordsmanship with the princess."

Come on, Mr. Pang De was speechless. This kite came here once and took away their two most outstanding juniors.As for the rest, Zhiyuan also told them well that Qingzhou has the largest library in the entire Han Dynasty, and you can study hard when you go there.

Basically, it was a trick and a lie, which almost fooled this group of people to Qingzhou.Then Celebrity Zhiyuan escorted these people to Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to send someone to protect them and send them to Qingzhou.

This group of talents is too important, so their safety must be protected.And Zhiyuan also said goodbye to these people, and planned to visit Yuzhou.

After all, in Zhi Yuan's heart, that guy Yuan Shu was really unreliable.Besides, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have nothing to do with each other, so Zhi Yuan really doesn't think Yuan Shu is the other party's opponent.

Just when Zhiyuan was planning to go to Runan again, she suddenly received a message from Li Ru on a fast horse.Cao Cao led people to attack Yingchuan County, and Yuan Shu's general Liu Xun in Yingchuan died in battle.Cao Cao is very likely to lead people westward and attack Nanyang County.

Zhiyuan thought about it carefully, then passed the news to Zhuge Liang, and said to him, "Do you dare to go and see with me?"

"Haha, of course. The princess represents the big man in modern times, so Cao Cao is naturally the anti-thief. Since ancient times, the Han and the thief are not at odds. Please let Liang follow the lord to Wancheng."

Zhiyuan glanced at Zhuge Xuan not far away, and found that Zhuge Xuan had actually closed the door of the thatched cottage.Speaking of which, Zhuge Xuan was indeed old, and he didn't know how many years he would have to live.

But this person never stopped the juniors, he just went out of his way if he had the ability, and it was his fate to die.So Zhiyuan led people to Wancheng immediately, where more than 3 soldiers had gathered.

After the last battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu also suffered heavy losses.Moreover, Zhang Xiu didn't have so much food and grass to expand the army, so in the end, he barely maintained about [-].

Among the 2000 soldiers, there were only more than 5 cavalry, and they were all brought over from Xiliang.Now that Tan Ma reported that Cao Cao had more than [-] troops coming, Zhang Xiu felt a little uncertain.

Although Li Ru has some skills, he also knows the virtues of his subordinates.So it was natural to tell Zhi Yuan about the situation here. After all, Zhi Yuan's official rank is very high now, Li Ru and Zhang Xiu are both restrained by Zhi Yuan.

So Zhiyuan quickly brought people back to Wancheng. Before entering Wancheng, Zhiyuan saw thousands of people fleeing.

Many of these people came from Yingchuan, and Zhiyuan also learned about the current situation there through these people.

Zhang Xun personally led [-] troops to defend Yingchuan City, and ordered the school lieutenants Lei Bo and Chen Lan to defend Yangcheng and Xiangcheng respectively, and the three sides defended Yingchuan County at the corner of each other.

But Cao Cao's subordinates are also good soldiers. Chen Lan's Yangcheng was breached in less than a week. Chen Lan desperately broke through and retreated to Kunyang. Kunyang is very close to Nanyang County, basically hiding behind Zhang Xun .

Yingchuan, where Zhang Xun lives, is itself the home of the great clan.Now that the strong enemy is in front of him, Zhang Xun dare not easily touch the Yingchuan gentry, but in the end he was betrayed by the Yingchuan gentry, and those people directly surrendered the city.

Zhang Xun refused to surrender and died in battle, while Cao Cao led his men to surround Xiangcheng.Lei Bo is only five thousand here, but these Yuan Shu's subordinates are still loyal, so Lei Bo also desperately resisted in Xiangcheng.

Moreover, Lei Bo has already asked Yuan Huan and general Jin Shang of Nanyang County for help, hoping that Yuan Huan can bring people to support him.

Yuan Huan is naturally also a member of the Yuan family, and he is upright.Many of Yuan Shu's actions and Yuan Huan also looked down on him, but because of his kinship, Yuan Shu could not offend this upright person, and instead handed over half of Nanyang County to his management.

Now that the situation is corrupt, Yuan Shu has long forgotten about this relative.But Yuan Huan didn't... After receiving Lei Bo's request for help, Yuan Huan discussed with his general Jin Shangyi that he must provide support, but he could not send troops alone.

So Yuan Huan came here in person to discuss his interests, hoping that Zhang Xiu could send troops together to deal with Cao Cao's invasion.

Zhi Yuan came back just in time. Although Yuan Huan looked down on Zhi Yuan's identity and her unclear relationship with Yuan Shu, at least Yuan Huan knew that Zhi Yuan was definitely the enemy of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

So Yuan Huan once again earnestly hoped that Zhi Yuan could join them in sending troops.Zhiyuan nodded and then began to look at the map, and pulled Zhuge Liang Pangtong and others to study together.

Since you came here with me, you can use it if you can.Then Zhiyuan said to everyone, "From Yingchuan County to Nanyang County, there are two main roads."

"One is to enter from Yingguo. The nearest city to our side is Luyang. The other is to enter from Kunyang and Wuyang. The opposite defensive city on our side is Ye County."

"Because there are big mountains (Pingdingshan) in Yingguo, there are only two small roads, and we still have an advantage in terms of defense."

"But now in Yingchuan, there are nearly [-] Yuan Shu's subordinates. Whether we should go to meet them is the main thing to discuss now."

Zhi Yuan spoke out first. After all, no matter what, the defense must be secure first. Once these two places are lost, Nanyang County is basically safe to defend.

Chapter 380: Cao Tuxiang City

Zhiyuan finished pointing on the map, which shocked Zhuge Liang.Because the woman in front of her only looked at the map for a few seconds, and she was able to determine the terrain here.Zhuge Liang glanced at the map and found that it was made very finely.

"Princess, this map?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.To be honest, Zhuge Liang has never seen such a detailed map.

Zhiyuan said to Zhuge Liang and several other people: "This is the ability of my spies, but after all, there are few people, so most of the activities are in the area under my control, so as to monitor some turmoil."

"There are barely a few in other state capitals, but I'm afraid the maps produced won't be as good-looking."

Zhuge Liang nodded: "It's really a good thing, looking at this map is like seeing it with your own eyes."

Then Zhuge Liang looked at the map, and then at the little Pang Tong next to him.Pang Tong glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then snorted: "Look what I'm doing, you can say whatever you want."

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly: "Looking at this map, there are mainly two roads from Yingchuan County to Nanyang County, so we must divide our troops to garrison."

"As for the division of troops, it depends on the choice. Since the two of us have studied together, we can't defend together. I don't think the princess has any counselors. Why don't we separate?"

"At Yuan Huan's place, go to defend Luyang, that is, the enemy on Yingguo's side. But because Yuan Huan has only about 1 men, I think this is a very difficult task."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he looked at Pang Tong provocatively. Pang Tong said "Hey", and then said to Zhiyuan, "Okay, then I will defend Luyang."

Zhi Yuan thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Let 5000 people fall to Pang Tong, let Li Ru lead the army!"

Zhang Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Okay!" This is too obvious, Zhiyuan is training newcomers.Looking at these seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt that she seemed a little old too.

Zhiyuan knew in her heart that in fact Pang Tong was tricked by Zhuge Liang.Because from the perspective of the terrain, Luyang is very easy to defend, and Zhuge Liang estimated that it would be difficult for Cao Cao to attack from that direction.

Because Yuan Shu's remnant party is near Kunyang and Wuyang, if Cao Cao takes Xiangcheng, it is most likely to go south.Pang Tong's 5000 people are more than enough, and the remaining 2 people on Zhang Xiu's side, and Zhiyuan's [-] people must all have to defend the vicinity of Ye County.

Zhang Xiu's main force is 1, and the rest are basically local troops. Although it is estimated that about [-] people can be pulled out, this will basically take out the entire Nanyang County's armed forces. If the gentry make trouble, the consequences will be very serious.

Therefore, it is impossible for the local army Zhang Xiu to move. Out of the remaining 2 people, 5000 people were left in Wancheng, and finally the [-] people who joined Zhiyuan went to Ye County.

As for Yuan Shu's army in Yingchuan, Zhi Yuan could only pass on a message, asking them to withdraw from Yingchuan and come to Ye County to defend together.Zhiyuan didn't know what Yingchuan looked like, since she didn't know, Zhiyuan didn't plan to go there at all.

Three days later, Zhiyuan led people to Ye County, where Zhiyuan had already met more than ten thousand civilians.The news brought to Zhiyuan by the civilians was even more shocking, that is, Cao Cao had captured Xiangcheng and slaughtered it...

Yes, Cao Cao slaughtered the city again.Lei Bo's persistent resistance made Cao Cao very upset, because Cao Cao didn't intend to give Wancheng a chance to reflect.But now because of Zhang Xun in front and now Lei Bo, Cao Cao has been blocked for more than half a month.

Because Yuan Shu treated ordinary people really well (influenced by the kite), after Yingchuan City was captured, many people went to Xiangcheng to defend Cao Cao's attack with Lei Bo.

But the walls of this city are too low, even if there are civilians to help...the civilians played a very pitiful role in the war, except for being able to disgust Cao Cao, they basically died.

And Cao Cao didn't want to tolerate these civilians, especially when his own food and grass were not enough.Kill all the way..... grab the past, what Cao Cao is doing now is the same as what Lu Bu did in his Yanzhou back then.

"Massacre!" Zhiyuan popped out the word.

In front of Zhiyuan, there were countless fleeing civilians, so Zhiyuan's hands couldn't help but tremble.Zhiyuan's eyes turned red suddenly, and she muttered, "In the end, you turned into the person I hate the most."

"Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde..." Zhi Yuan smiled wryly, then wiped her eyes with her hand.

Zhuge Liang on the side was a little puzzled: "Princess, traitors and traitors are not equal, so why should such a sinner feel sad for him?"

Zhiyuan suddenly laughed, and then said: "Pretty lady Qingben, how can I be a thief?"

"Forget it, I just thought of something and feel a little unhappy...Dong Bai, bring me the map!"

Dong Bai ran over quickly, then lay on Zhiyuan's lap, and unfolded the map for Zhiyuan to look at.To be honest...it's no secret that Dong Bai is some kind of Zhiyuan woman.

Zhiyuan didn't hide it deliberately, so although Zhuge Liang and the others felt embarrassed, they basically ignored it in the end.Only Zhang Xiu sighed. After all, what kind of person Dong Zhuo was back then, and how could her granddaughter end up like this.

Zhiyuan looked at the map carefully, and then said to everyone: "Order Zhang Xiu to lead 1 people to build fortifications in Ye County. Ah Liang... you are here to cooperate with Zhang Xiu, you must put the defense Good work."

"The rest of the people plus my 5000 people will all go to Wuyang, Kunyang to evacuate the civilians. Everyone will write a suicide note, and the supervising army in the army will be in charge of sorting it out, and we will leave in a day!"

Zhiyuan intends to be the Holy Mother, because she must stop Cao Cao from slaughtering.This is Zhiyuan's bottom line, and it is also the root of Cao Cao's break with Zhiyuan.What is more important than the people in this world?No!

Since Cao Cao broke the pot and smashed it, Zhiyuan has to save more people, even if it pays many casualties, it is worth it.Because the army of the kite, under the education of the kite, is the army of the people.

Although it was a little early to say that if you win the hearts of the people, you will win the world, and the current world is almost like winning the world if you win the gentry, but Zhiyuan wants to use the common people to break the rule of the gentry.

Zhiyuan took a deep breath, and then her expression became more determined.And behind Zhiyuan, Zhuge Liang bowed to Zhiyuan, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Following this kind of lord will really live up to what I have learned all my life."

Chapter 380: Saving People

The situation was even more serious than Zhiyuan had imagined. Just as Zhiyuan led people into the vicinity of Wuyang City in Yingchuan, she saw tens of thousands of civilians retreating from Xiangcheng.

A group of civilians were crying and fleeing southeast with their families.Seeing the ragged civilians, Zhi Yuan felt even more uncomfortable.

"Save people first!" Zhiyuan said to everyone.

Then Zhiyuan personally came to the front of the refugee team and asked for news from Xiangcheng.A man who still had two pieces of armor on his body knelt down when he saw the kite. "So it's the princess, princess, help us!"

When this person saw the kite, he knelt down and cried bitterly as soon as he came over.If it wasn't for knowing that Zhi Yuan was a woman, this person would probably have had a hard time hugging his legs.

But Zhiyuan didn't know this person, since this person knew her, he must be Yuan Shu's soldier.So without waiting for Zhiyuan to ask, this person spoke directly. "Princess, in the previous battle in Fancheng, I was fortunate to follow the princess's army to kill the enemy, so I also have some impressions of the princess."

As soon as this person said it, Zhiyuan knew that it was either this person or Liu Xun's subordinates.Sure enough, the soldier said to the kite: "Then Cao Cao attacked Yingchuan, drove the civilians to attack the city, and then contacted the gentry to attack and open the city gate. General Liu was pinched by the gentry and Cao Cao's army, and finally died under the city gate. .”

"Originally, I waited for the defeat of the army and planned to hide in the crowd and escape with my life. I didn't expect that after Cao Cao entered the city, he would directly arrest the civilians and drag all the civilians to work as civilian husbands, traveling between Yanzhou and Yanzhou."

"Naturally, I was arrested as a strong man, but those people don't care about civilians. They eat grass roots every day. I couldn't stand it and killed a soldier, so I snatched his weapon and ran out."

"Afterwards, I planned to go to Xiangcheng to find my family, but when I arrived near Xiangcheng and was resting in a village, I was chased and killed by Cao Cao's men again. They didn't just kill me, they killed all the civilians They even poached the flesh from those people, and I’m afraid it will be used to make dried meat.”

"It's my fate that I ran out again. It's really lucky to see the princess now. I beg the lord to save the people in Yingchuan County. I heard that Cao Cao slaughtered Xiangcheng on the way. I'm afraid it's not my family who are now in the same place. reborn."

"I don't have any skills, and my name is just a humble name like Xu Da, but since I saw the princess, I don't plan to leave. The princess is the most benevolent to the common people, and I am willing to fight to the death for the princess!"

Zhi Yuan sighed: "Xu Da, right? I only have more than 1 people here now. Since you said so, it is estimated that Cao Cao will soon arrive in Kunyang."

"You are a soldier after all. At this time, you can choose some Kong Wuyou or knight-errants. It is the best policy to transfer the Wuyang civilians first. Since Cao Cao killed people randomly, we can't let Wuyang be slaughtered again."

"I will allocate 5000 people to protect you, but how to properly arrange the civilians is up to you. I don't have so many options. You see, I just want to ensure that you can reach Nanyang County smoothly."

Now there are only about [-] people, so there is a lot of pressure on Zhiyuan.With so many people eating, drinking, and sleeping, if Zhiyuan didn't care about it, how many people would die in a day.Now that it has entered late autumn, the temperature at night is still very low.

Naturally, many of the fleeing people were old and weak, and Zhi Yuan found that this group of people could only walk more than ten miles a day.So Zhi Yuan could only arrange some local people to help each other and run to Nanyang County quickly.

Otherwise, there are so many old, weak, sick and disabled, how many people will die once the paper kite can't hold it?But now Zhiyuan's reputation is quite good, especially the civilian life in Qingzhou is really good, so Zhiyuan is similar to the great savior in other places.

This also led to many people prefer not to run away, but to stay with Zhi Yuan, they think it is safer. "What the hell! Xu Da, take everyone away immediately!" Zhi Yuan immediately allocated more than 500 people to Xu Erxian, and each civilian was assigned to work.

Don't take all the big pots and small pots with you like moving, which will hinder the progress of the escape.Well, Zhiyuan's thinking was a bit simple, after all, Wuyang hadn't seen any enemies here yet.

By the time Zhi Yuan arrived in Kunyang, the place was already in complete chaos.The people who fled were all over the mountains and plains, and there were even many people who looked like they were wearing soldiers' clothes running around.Zhi Yuan asked one by one, and found that these soldiers were all under Lei Bo's subordinates.

Lei Bo didn't know where he went, maybe he wasn't dead yet but the team was smashed.Chen Lan is the only one in Kunyang City now.

But Chen Lan was defeated by Cao Cao in the first place, and now he has only two thousand men.Although they ran away without turning around, basically these 2000 people were in front of Cao Cao, and they couldn't even make a splash.

Even Zhiyuan's spies had spotted Cao Cao's vanguard army more than ten miles northeast of Kunyang.Zhi Yuan immediately ordered everyone to set up a defensive line on an official road southwest of Kunyang, and sent people to Kunyang.

Wei Yan cupped his hands to Zhi Yuan: "Leave this kind of thing to someone. If Chen Lan is disobedient, I will tie him up and hand him over to the princess." Well... Wei Yan still has about 5000 people under his command, but these 5000 Human combat power...

Zhi Yuan never counted these 5000 people as part of the battle force, because none of these people had been trained for more than a month, and they basically died when they went to the battlefield.But at this time, it is naturally better to help transfer civilians.

So Zhiyuan nodded and led five thousand troops to Kunyang, while Wei Yan led people directly into Kunyang to negotiate with Chen Lan.Now that Cao Cao's vanguard has been discovered, a battle is naturally inevitable.

The opponent is just a vanguard, so the number of people will definitely not be too many.Zhiyuan is confident that she will cut off one finger first, which can also deal a blow to Cao Cao's strength.

Then Chen Lan saw Wei Yan bringing people over, and when she heard that it was the princess who came over in person, she joined here very simply.There is no way that the relationship between Yuan Shu and Zhi Yuan is not clear, this is not a secret at all.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's subordinates couldn't handle the current situation in Yingchuan, but there might still be a chance for Zhiyuan to come in.As for who will belong to Yingchuan in the future, that is the business of Yuan Shu and Zhi Yuan, and they will not care about these small soldiers.

So the whole Kunyang is still moving here, and all civilians don't bring anything, just run out.Even under Wei Yan's subordinates, some supervisors had already spread Zhi Yuan's words.

If you lose your land, you will lose your land.Save people and lose land, and all people and land will survive.As long as people are still alive, the home is gone.

So it went very smoothly here, and Cao Cao's striker came over very quickly.According to the spies' report, the opponent had at least [-] light cavalry.

And when Zhiyuan came over, he also saw the opponent's banner, Cao Chun!The corner of Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, she knew that the tiger and leopard were probably riding over.

Zhi Yuan glanced at Chen Dao, and then said to Chen Dao, "Then Cao Cao has tiger and leopard riders, and I have Chen Baipao. Today is the day to kill the tiger and cut the leopard!"

ps: Food poisoning these days, vomiting and diarrhea, I'm going to die...

Chapter 390: Cao Chun

Naturally, Cao Chun also saw this team, but now there are only 5000 people here, Cao Chun naturally will not be afraid.He even drove some civilians towards Zhiyuan, and Cao Chun killed those civilians at random while advancing, making Zhiyuan's expression colder and colder.

"Prepare to line up, and then shout loudly to let the civilians leave from our flank!" Zhiyuan shouted to his subordinates.

Zhi Yuan led five hundred white-robed troops behind the infantry, and those infantry were surrounded by shields and spears, and they were not afraid of the cavalry's hard charge at all.In particular, tiger and leopard cavalry are also light cavalry to put it bluntly. The number of heavy cavalry in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty was too small. Both horses and iron armor restricted the development of heavy cavalry.

Many civilians on the road were killed by Cao Chun, and the tiger and leopard riders fell down a large area as they passed by, as if they were mowing grass.Because they are deporting civilians, they are separated from each other.

The phalanx on Zhiyuan's side is not too big, so most civilians can bypass it.However, there were still many civilians who were driven by the tiger and leopard riders and rushed towards this side. If Cao Cao followed the example, his subordinates would naturally not take human lives seriously.

Although Zhiyuan is pitiful to the common people, there is really no good way.But at this time, Chen Dao smiled: "Since the opponent is a vanguard, they shouldn't have too much preparation. Why don't we set aside a passage in the camp and let those civilians run there?"

Zhiyuan thought for a while, and then said to his subordinates: "Leave a passage in the phalanx, and use a shield to protect the whole body. If anyone wants to do anything wrong, kill them directly!"

Is it possible that there are spies of Cao Cao among the common people?There are probably paper kites.If it is really released, once there is chaos in the phalanx, Cao Chun will definitely take advantage of it.But just watching those civilians being massacred, Zhi Yuan can't do it at all.

So Zhiyuan thought of only opening a passage in the middle, and protecting herself completely.This is a test of the soldiers' coordination, and Zhiyuan is very relieved about this.Because the training intensity of his soldiers is definitely the highest in the whole late Han Dynasty.
