Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 648 Farewell My Concubine

Chapter 646: Farewell My Concubine

The Qingyou Allied Army and Huang Chao fought six battles, and they all won, and Gongsun Xuanyuan was the one who made the greatest contribution.

Zhu Wen, Wang Xianzhi, Huang Kui, and Shang Rang, the four generals joined forces, but were easily defeated by Gongsun Xuanyuan. If Huang Chao had not seen the situation in a bad way, he would have directly attacked and killed, all four generals would have died at the hands of Gongsun Xuanyuan.

Afterwards, Gongsun Xuanyuan led the White Horse Yi Cong, and directly pierced through Huang Chao's central army, destroying nearly half of Huang Chao's main force in the first battle, and only then did he have six victories in the following six battles.

Under the strangulation of the Qingyou Allied Forces, Huang Chao was also forced into a desperate situation. The land of Qingzhou, one county and three kingdoms, which he originally owned, now only has one Qi State and most of Donglai County.

Facing the still aggressive Qingyou Allied Forces, Huang Chao had no choice but to submit to the table and was named the prefect of Qi shortly after.

After Huang Chao surrendered, although most of the Qingyou coalition had returned, the elites continued to head south, preparing to participate in the final action of hunting Xiang Yu.

On the Jizhou side, after Zhang Sheng retreated into the Taihang Mountains, the princes of Jizhou were busy grabbing the territory they gave up, so they naturally ignored Zhang Sheng.

Originally belonged to the two counties and two kingdoms of Daming, but now they have all been recaptured. The major princes of Jizhou have won great benefits, and Yuan Shao has monopolized Zhao and most of Julu.

Yuan Shao alone took up so much territory, which naturally made Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang jealous. If it wasn't for Huangfu Song's tough attitude, the Jizhou coalition would probably have fought each other.

After that, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were busy consolidating their territory, while Yuan Shao led the elites under his command to continue southward to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Xiang Yu, and Han Fu also went along with Han Xin.

In November, Xiang Yu led the army to break through to Jianghuai, but Caiyi was blocked by the Yangzhou coalition.

This time, Xiang Yu did not back down, but led the remaining [-]-odd army under his command to face the Yangzhou coalition in a head-to-head battle.

Xiang Yu had nowhere to go. Behind him were Li Shimin, Yang Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Liu Bei, Song Jiang, Yuan Shao, Han Xin, Gongsun Xuanyuan, etc. There were dozens of princes and hundreds of thousands of troops besieging them. .

In order to prevent Xiang Yu from escaping into Dabieshang, the [-]-strong Yangzhou coalition was divided into two groups, one led by Liu Yao to fight against Xiang Yu, and the other led by Sun Jian to block the road for Zhu Yuanzhang's rescue.

Dabie Mountain, Ming army Dazhai, Zhu Yuanzhang camp.

"how can that be?"

Looking at the secret edict in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang said in disbelief, "How could His Majesty give such an order?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe that Zhang Sheng would order him not to send troops to rescue Xiang Yu.

If it weren't for the seal on the edict and the seal of the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang would even think that the edict was fake, but it was because it was true that it was even more terrifying.

At such a critical moment, why did His Majesty cut off his own arm and use the hands of the Han army to kill him?

Xiang Yu has always been loyal to Daming and has never strayed from the line. Besides, hasn't he always been His Majesty's person?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why Zhang Sheng wanted to kill with a knife, he knew that Zhang Sheng must have a reason to do so, but what was the reason for Zhang Sheng, who has always been wise, to make such a brainless act of breaking his arm?

Why didn't Zhang Liang persuade His Majesty?It's okay if he knows, if he does...

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt cold all over his body, and a coldness poured out of his heart unconsciously.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhang Sheng is a kind and strong woman, and Daming is a united and bright group.

However, this sealed edict gave Zhu Yuanzhang a whole new understanding of His Majesty, whom he admired, and the Great Ming, whom he was loyal to.

His Majesty is not as kind as he thinks, and Daming is far darker than he thinks, so is Zhang Liang...

Looking at the north, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself, "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang, what are you hiding?"

Because of the love in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to think about Zhang Sheng in a bad way. He just hoped that Zhang Sheng really had some difficulties, so he was also ready to obey the order.

At this moment, the arrival of Xiang Zhuang and other members of the Xiang clan made Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind.

"General, you and Brother Xiang Yu are the pillars of Da Ming, and you can't do it without anyone."

Xiang Zhuang led the Xiang family and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, begging: "At the time, General, you seconded the Overlord Cavalry to Brother Xiang Yu, but Brother Xiang Yu sent us here without thinking, and now Xiang Yu is under siege. , please send troops to rescue Brother Xiang Yu."

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank when he heard the words, and then he lifted Xiang Zhuang up and said earnestly, "General Xiang Zhuang, don't worry, Zhu Yuanzhang will never fail to save him."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's unpretentious expression, Xiang Zhuang finally felt relieved.

"General Xie." The Xiang clan said in unison.

On November [-], Zhu Yuanzhang disregarded Zhang Sheng's orders, and Xu Shiji and Xu Shiji each led an army, and went out of Dabie Mountain in two ways to rescue Xiang Yu.

However, after breaking through several blockades, Xu Shiji was blocked by Gongsun Xuanyuan, who led the army. After several battles, he was still unable to enter, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also blocked by Sun Jian.

On November [-], Xiang Yu and Liu Yao formally fought in Hefei.

In order to monopolize the credit for killing Xiang Yu, Liu Yao did not wait for the major princes to complete the encirclement, and then launched a decisive battle ahead of schedule, and the result was naturally a disastrous defeat.

Liu Yao's [-] Han troops were chased away by Xiang Yu's [-] remnants, with only [-] casualties, and Xiang Yu's troops also broke through.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not broken all the blockades of the big Han for the time being. Xiang Yu can't wait any longer. If he can't go to Dabie Mountain, he can only continue to break through to the south.

At this time, the various princes of the Han army have successfully joined forces. Li Shimin, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Liu Bei, Song Jiang, Yuan Shao, Han Xin and other princes gathered together to form a feast of the princes again.

"Everyone, Liu Yao was greedy for merit. Before we could arrive, he started the battle ahead of time, but he was defeated by Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu's thief also broke through."

As soon as Cao Cao said this, the scene immediately became quiet, waiting for Cao Cao's next words.

"We waited for more than ten princes, and more than 20 troops gathered here. If each fights his own, even if Xiang Yu can be killed in the end, the casualties will definitely be huge."

Everyone nodded subconsciously when they heard this. Cao Cao smiled indifferently and continued:
"There are no rules, and there is no circle. I, Cao Mengde, proposed that a leader be elected, and we will all listen to his command, integrate the strength of the entire army, and eliminate Xiang Yu at the least cost. Can you say it?"

"it is good."

Yuan Shao stood up and said with a smile, "This is a good idea, but who should be the leader of this alliance?"

"Of course the one with the most troops will be the one."

Yuan Shu hurriedly made a proposal, but Liu Yu immediately objected.
