We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

If Xiahou Dun followed the originally planned route, Xiahou Dun should have led his troops from Cao Wei's territory, which is the corner where Jizhou and Youzhou are connected. Although this way of walking, it would take a long way around. Roads, and a lot of food and grass will be lost because of the lack of waterways, but it is always safe and will not conflict with the actors.

However, when Xiahou Dun came to this area, he thought that Wei Gong had ceded most of the land of Jizhou to Xi Yu in order to seek peace with Xi Yu, but Xi Yu, the bastard, broke his promise and stabbed Cao Jun in the back. Xiahou Dun's There was a nameless anger in his heart.

In addition, in the previous meeting in front of the palace, Xi Zhicai continued to boost the popularity of others and destroy his own prestige. Everyone in the court was also extremely afraid of the Xi Jia army. When thinking of this matter, Xiahou Dun became even more angry.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun, who was dazzled by anger, directly ordered his troops to abandon the originally planned route, and instead directly improved it to march from Jizhou to Xiyu's territory, thus arriving at Youzhou’s order.

After hearing Xiahou Dun's order to join the army, he immediately dissuaded him.

"General, no! The front is the Xi Gong's territory. If we march from the Xi Gong's land, there will be consequences if we offend the Xi Gong."

However, before Sui Junjun could say anything, Xiahou Dun slapped Suijun Jun directly in the face.

"You bastard! So what if you offend the opera thief? If you have the ability, let's fight with real swords and guns! Listen to my order, everyone will march immediately according to the newly established route. If there is any resistance along the way, they will be killed without mercy!"

Although he said that, Xiahou Dun felt that he was just borrowing a way out, so how much trouble could he cause?

But from the moment his army entered Jizhou, his army trampled on farmland and had fierce conflicts with local farmers.

As soon as they got the news, the local defenders immediately set out to support them. However, the number of defenders was too small. Even though the defenders and local farmers were very brave, they were just ordinary troops specially set up to suppress banditry. , how can it be compared to the elites of the Cao family who specialize in field warfare.

For a time, the entire eastern part of Jizhou could be said to be in a state of chaos. Wherever Cao Jun went, not only was there no grass growing, it was also barren.

Although the army led by Xiahou Dun marched very quickly and reached Youzhou very quickly, the whole journey gave Xiahou Dun a great shock.

Not to mention the local farmers, when they saw the Cao family's army approaching, they showed no fear at all and continued to resist Cao's army with their crude weapons.

Just talking about the bravery of the soldiers stationed in the local area made Xiahou Jun feel deeply shocked. Although these soldiers were few in number and their weapons and equipment were not as good as Cao Jun's, they all fought bravely and resisted to the death. Often they were The battle will not end until the last person.

Xiahou Dun was very shocked. These people had taken some kind of ecstasy from Xi Yu, and each of them fought so fearlessly.

At this moment, the news that Cao Wei's army was invading Jizhou had already reached Xiapi City.

Looking at the casualty report in his hand, Xi Yu's eyes were filled with endless anger.

"Xiahou Dun, a great general, robbed the land and killed the people like a bandit!"

In fact, if Xiahou Dun said that he was simply borrowing a road, and if the local farmers and defenders did not resist when he borrowed the road, then things might not have reached this point, and no people in Jizhou would have died. .

However, Xiahou Dun's mistake was that he underestimated the will of the people of Jizhou to protect the country, and his mistake was that he underestimated the strong determination of the local garrison soldiers to protect the country.

It was the strong will of the local people and the defenders that made this incident amplified by them, and also caused the bloodshed to occur.

Looking at the report that more than two thousand people were killed and thousands injured, Xi Yu felt extremely angry. He took the report and kept mumbling.

"Tomorrow I will personally go out to conquer Youzhou! Kill the blood of the old Xiahou thief to comfort the spirits of the soldiers who died in the battle!"

"Old thief Xiahou! I have no sworn relationship with you! Old thief Xiahou! I have no sworn relationship with you!"

The angry Xi Yu kept shouting, his voice getting louder and louder. Later, Xi Yu directly punched the table, hammering the table in half.

The people in the meeting hall originally came to persuade the actor not to fight in person, but when they saw the actor in such a state, no one dared to say anything for a while.

Even because of Xi Yu's expression, he couldn't help but be infected.

After a while, Xi Yu took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"Jia Xu, you should personally count the number of soldiers and civilians who died in this incident, and then go and give them a separate monument in the Temple of Heroes. You must always warn the world! At the same time, you must give large sums of money to the families of the victims. All families of the deceased will be exempted from taxes for three years.”

In fact, this matter is not managed by Jia Xu, but after all, this matter is a matter that can accumulate evil deeds. For someone like Jia Xu who has done a lot of conspiracy, Xi Yu is really afraid that he will be punished by God that day. take away.

As for the attack on Youzhou, Xi Yu was also very angry because of Xiahou Dun entering the country to kill people. However, Xi Yu had a plan to attack Youzhou, but he always struggled with not having a suitable reason.

Well, now Xiahou Dun is here, and he did something like this. This is really because you are sleepy and want to sleep, and someone will hand you a pillow.

In fact, when he told Xun Yu that he wanted to conquer Youzhou personally, Xi Yu had a feeling in his heart, and there was a voice that kept calling him, as if the matter in Youzhou had to be solved by himself.

But what Xi Yu didn't expect was that this summons actually required him to resolve the grievances between the two of them for many years with Xiahou Dun.

Looking back on his past, Xi Yu found that he seemed to be on this path now thanks to Xiahou Dun. Without him, he might not have achieved what he has today.

I think back then, when I went to join Cao Cao, I just wanted to live well in this world and have a hot meal. At that time, I had no intention of making contributions at all. All I wanted in my heart was to follow him. Let Cao Cao enjoy the glory and wealth, and help him unify the world and end this troubled times.

But now that Duke Cao has passed away, I have become a more powerful person than before. Although I think about these things all the time and sigh with emotion, it is no longer what it was back then, and I can never go back to who I am now.

Even if he Xiyu wants to turn around now and continue to help the Cao family, his group of generals and counselors will never agree, and neither will the people under his governance.

The past is like smoke, and sooner or later the grudges of the past will have to be understood.

After the meeting that day, the Confucian scholars of Taiyuan College started the violent mode, writing furiously and writing countless articles against thieves.

In addition to the proclamation against thieves, the Confucian scholars of Taiyuan University scolded Xiahou Dun for his cruelty, listed all the things he had done, and angrily accused Cao Pi of being disobedient, and then announced these proclamations against thieves to the world.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an order to Xi Yu to send troops to attack Youzhou and attack Zhezi, who was not a minister. He announced the edict to the world and ordered all the princes and states in the world to cooperate with Xi Yu and jointly attack the traitors.

In addition, in order to commend Xi Yu's contribution to the successful recovery of Jingzhou, the Han emperor made Xi Yu the prime minister, with the title of Duke, and his official position was higher than that of the officials and princes.

In the ancient Shang Dynasty, the Prime Minister Yi Yin was called Aheng, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou was the Prime Minister. This time Liu Xie gave Xi Yu the title of Duke Zhou, and added the title of Duke Zhou as Prime Minister. This means to show the world that he Xi Yu His current achievements are comparable to those of Duke Zhou and Yi Yin.

At the same time, Liu Xie also agreed to the request of the ministers and ministers to reward Xi Yu with Jiuxi, but Xi Yu was about to go out with a large army and could not bear the title and refused.

Can't bear it? What does it mean? Suddenly, everyone in the world smelled something unusual.

If he can't afford it now, when will he be able to afford it? Wait until he successfully regains Youzhou, wait until Xiyu takes advantage of the military power of Youzhou's victory, wait until most of the thirteen states in the world are in his hands?

Later, on the day when Xi Yu refused to add nine tins, the officials once again wrote to the Han Emperor, hoping that the Han Emperor would allow Xi Yu to add nine tins to the gift last time.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Yu was wearing silver armor, holding a gilt gun with a tiger head, and a divine horse chasing the wind under his crotch. He looked like a mighty general and an illustrious saint. At this moment, Xi Yu was rushing towards the center of Xiapi City, preparing to Hold a swearing-in ceremony before setting off!

At this moment, in the central area of ​​Xiapi City, 30,000 black knights have been waiting for a long time. There are also 20,000 heavy armor and 30,000 powerful crossbowmen. At this moment, they are also all arranged in neat queues, standing in Xiapi City. In the middle zone.

Some of the one hundred thousand troops led by Xi Yu in this battle were staying outside the city, and a small part of them were in the city. Everyone stood quietly around the altar with solemn expressions. For a moment, there was an extremely frightening feeling. A sense of chilling surrounded them.

At this moment, the people in Xiapi City also knew that Xu Gong was going to fight in person again in order to avenge the people of Jizhou who were massacred.

At this time, the people also walked out of their homes one after another, standing on both sides of the street, looking at the altar in front of them from a distance.

At this moment, both sides of the street were already crowded with people. Countless people stood on both sides of the road, quietly waiting for the arrival of the opera master.

When they saw the elite black cavalry approaching, the people on both sides of the road were extremely shocked. With such elite soldiers under Xi Gong's command, they would be able to easily defeat the enemy, easily recover Youzhou, and save the people of Youzhou. In water and fire.

Looking at these elite black knights, countless people picked up their sons and pointed at the elite black knights walking in the street. They kept telling their children that they must sign up when they reach old age. Join the army to serve the actor.

When the time comes, they must train hard and make meritorious deeds. If they can join the Black Cavalry, they will truly be proud of their family, and they will truly honor their ancestors.

At this time, on the altar, Xi Yu looked at the soldiers present and nodded with satisfaction. The army was majestic and magnificent.

Everyone's faces read that I am the best in the world, very good, very good, and you need such energy to fight.

But after looking around the scene, Xi Yu suddenly said:

"Where is General Guan! Where is General Guan?"

Hearing Xi Yu's call, everyone looked at each other for a moment. They were all confused and couldn't figure out why Xi Yu called for Guan Yu?

Could it be that the opera master wanted to use Guan Yu's head to sacrifice the flag? But shouldn’t the sacrificial flag be used to take the enemy’s head? It seems that Guan Yu is not from Cao Wei's side. Doesn't this look bad?

However, although everyone felt very confused, after seeing Xi Yu's solemn expression, they all lowered their heads and closed their mouths tightly without daring to say a word.

A moment later, Guan Yu was brought to the altar by Xi Yu's men with a confused look on his face.

Looking at the altar and then at Xi Yu with a solemn expression in front of him, Guan Yu also knew that Xi Yu definitely wanted to kill him.

So as soon as he was brought to the altar, he stood there with a cold snort, his face full of endless anger.

"Hmph! You can kill or behead them as you please! If a certain family frowns, they are not a good man!"

Seeing Guan Yu's appearance, Xi Yu immediately thought of a certain statue in his previous life, and was instantly overjoyed.

"Yes, yes, don't move, don't move, it's like this, very good, very good!"

After pulling Guan Yu to the back of the incense table, Xi Yu adjusted Guan Yu's posture and clothes slightly, and was very satisfied with the image of him glaring in the direction of Youzhou.

Looking at Xi Yu's current appearance, no matter the soldiers, the surrounding generals, or Guan Yu himself, they were all very confused. What did Xi Yu want to do? Is he crazy?

However, the generals around him were not surprised by Xi Yu's strange appearance, and they all looked indifferent. However, the soldiers below thought that since Xi Yu did what he did, then he must There is a reason for him to do this.

Guan Yu wanted to get angry when he saw Xi Yu playing with him like this, but after seeing the faces of the soldiers under the altar, Guan Yu was slightly moved, so he simply ignored it and stood there quietly watching what Xi Yu could do. What a weird thing.

At this moment, Xi Yu took three sticks of incense from the general behind him and bowed to Guan Yu respectfully.

"The Martial Saint is above. I hope that the Martial Saint will bless our army to successfully attack Youzhou and capture Xiahou Dun. I will definitely have an offering for my army on the day of its triumphant return."

While talking, Xi Yu led the soldiers and generals below to kneel down to the officials.

Seeing Xi Yu's appearance, to be honest, the civil servants and generals present were not willing to kneel down, mainly because they didn't know what Xi Yu meant, and there was no way for anyone to kneel down before a living person.

But when everyone looked at Guan Yu again, they couldn't help but be shocked. They saw that Guan Yu was nine feet long, and his beard was two feet long. He had a face as heavy as jujubes, lips as if painted with grease, red phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows. He had a dignified and majestic appearance. , looking like a martial saint.

With this idea in mind, when everyone knelt down to worship Guan Yu again, there was no strange feeling.

But at this moment, Guan Yu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a knot in his throat, like a light on his back. At this moment, Guan Yu wanted to leave this embarrassing place, but after seeing the eyes of the tens of thousands of soldiers below, Guan Yu did not dare to move for an instant. It could be said that Guan Yu was either leaving or not. He was so depressed for a moment.

Even though Guan Yu had been fighting in the north and south for many years and had seen countless big scenes, this was indeed the first time he had seen this scene. Guan Yu's already red face became even brighter at this moment.

When Xi Yu and others concluded the swearing-in meeting and a hundred thousand troops rushed to Youzhou.

On the Jiangdong side, Sun Ce also received the news from Lu Su and gave Yu Yu an order.

After joining Xi Yu, Sun Ce repaired the original Wuhou Mansion again with the help of craftsmen from Xiapi Academy of Sciences. After completing the repairs, Sun Ce also made it clear that he would I just want to spend the rest of my life in the Wuhou Mansion, and have no ambition to conquer the world in this life.

It was precisely because of Sun Ce's statement that the Sihai Pavilion in Wu Hou's Mansion, which was originally intended to attract celebrities from all over the world, was changed into a closed guest pavilion under Wu Hou's instruction. It has now become a place for Sun brothers to drink tea and chat. A place to chat and stay healthy.

Ever since Sun Ce was defeated in Hefei and suffered from leg problems and was unable to mount a horse to fight again, Sun Ce's character had become moody, and even the closest Sun family members could not say a word.

But since joining Xi Yu, Sun Ce has actually looked away. His personality is no longer as moody and irritable as before, but he has become somewhat peaceful.

This change made Sun Quan and Mrs. Wu very happy, and they were very grateful to Xi Yu.

With his ambition deeply buried in his heart, Sun Ce became even more fond of Sun Quan. Although he was slightly suspicious of him in the past, as the two brothers drank tea and chatted together for a long time, their relationship at this time became more positive. Back to the innocence of the past.

When Sun Ce heard that the opera master had easily captured Jingzhou, Sun Ce's mind couldn't help but become active. Of course, he didn't want to rebel or do anything rebellious.

In fact, even if someone asked Sun Ce to rebel now, Sun Ce would not want to go. However, when he saw his sworn brother strategizing and making such great achievements in Jingzhou, he thought about how he, the Marquis of Wu, seemed to be in the rebellion. After joining, he failed to make any achievements.

Comparing the two, Sun Ce felt even more uncomfortable. (End of chapter)
