The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258

Chapter 270
"My lord, if you can take Nanyang within half a month, you can keep Liu Biao and Lu Bu out of Nanyang, and seeing that the situation is inevitable, the two will definitely withdraw their troops, but now that Liu Biao and Lu Bu's army has already left, they may enter Nanyang. Lose your best time.

Now the lord must not go to Nanyang early, otherwise Liu Biao and Lu Bu will join forces to fight against the lord. If the lord expresses that he has no intention of taking control of Nanyang, then Liu Biao and Lu Bu will definitely have a battle. Defeated the two, and took the land of Nanyang into his palm. "

Everyone was still thinking hard about a plan, and Xi Zhi, who had just recovered from his illness, opened his mouth and gave Cao Cao a clever plan as soon as he came.

"It's a very short plan for Zhicai, I should do it." Immediately, Cao Cao ordered the army to retreat with great fanfare, and at the same time sent someone to tell Liu Biao and Lu Bu that he would return to the army and Liu Bei to rob Jizhou. .

Sure enough, when Liu Biao and Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao had no intention of entering Nanyang, apart from sending a small number of soldiers and horses to defend Yingchuan, they all led a large army to attack various places in Nanyang.

Liu Biao and Lu Bu attacked Yuan Shu from the south to the north, which made Yuan Shu very angry.He ordered his general Ji Ling to lead [-] soldiers to the south to block Liu Biao, and ordered General Zhang Xun to lead [-] soldiers to the north to resist Lu Bu, while he himself led [-] soldiers to stay in the middle.

Originally, this arrangement was not bad. If it was normal, Liu Biao and Lu Bu could barely be blocked, even if they couldn't be blocked, they would not be defeated.

It's a pity that because Yuan Shu proclaimed emperor hastily, the morale of the army was unstable. Now they are attacked by the princes of the world, the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and the army will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Liu Biao and Lu Bu's army attacked all the way, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun were defeated again and again, with fewer and fewer soldiers in their hands, and lost important towns one after another. In less than half a month, most of Nanyang was occupied by Liu Biao and Lu Bu, and now they are even approaching Zhangling. Under the city, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun led the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat into the city and joined forces with Yuan Shu.

At the beginning, Liu Biao and Lu Bu were unwilling to attack the city, lest they let the other side take advantage of it. But as time dragged on, both of them lost patience. They sent people to discuss and attack the city at the same time from the north and the south. The one who enters Zhangling first can occupy the city. more cities.

The two hit it off immediately, and when the agreed time for the siege arrived, they started to attack the city at the same time. Both of them had soldiers and horses that were the best of the best, and they were not at all inferior to Yuan Shu's.

Although Yuan Shu took out his wealth, rewarded him with special rewards, and sealed off his officials, it was a pity that he could not save the defeat. Liu Biao and Lu Bu's army attacked for half a month, and finally the two entered Zhangling at the same time. Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling died in battle. The general situation is gone, and Lu Bu surrendered.

Seeing the army entering the city, Yuan Shu knew that he was about to die, so he killed his wife and children, and then committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he set fire to the palace that was still under construction.

Except for Ji Ling who died in the battle, Yuan Shu's officials did not have a single general or important minister to follow him, but surrendered to Lu Bu and Liu Biao one after another.

In this regard, the Yuan family, which has four generations and three lords, lost another major pillar, and because of Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor, the prestige of the Yuan family was reduced to a historical freezing point, and the world abandoned it.

Liu Biao and Lu Bu arrested Yuan's family everywhere in Nanyang, and all members of Yuan's nine clans were executed. Blood flowed in rivers throughout Nanyang, and there were countless unjust deaths.

Liu Biao and Lu Bu invaded Zhangling at the same time, and neither would let the other in. They all felt that they had gained most of Nanyang, and they were at loggerheads. Cao Cao sent lobbyists to Lu Bu's place to plot against Lu Bu.

Lu Bu colluded with Cao Cao secretly, and suddenly attacked Liu Biao's camp. Lu Bu was so brave that he defeated Liu Biao's army.

Originally Liu Biao wanted to send another army from Jingzhou to fight Lv Bu to the death, but at this moment, Cao Cao's army came and attacked Liu Biao's defeated army all the way.

Liu Biao and Lu Bu were defeated, unable to compete with Cao Cao, and had to lead their troops to withdraw from the land of Nanyang. The six-month battle of Nanyang ended, and Nanyang was taken by Cao Cao at the lowest price.

After Liu Biao returned to Jingzhou, he became seriously ill. At the same time, he ordered generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead [-] troops to guard Xinye and other places to guard against Cao Cao, while he himself recuperated in Xiangyang City.

After Lu Bu returned, he was furious and wanted to cut Cao Cao off from all his positions in the name of the emperor, and declared Cao Cao a traitor, but Lu Bu's generals dissuaded him.

Fearing that Lu Bu would anger Cao Cao, let Cao Cao lead an army to attack Luoyang regardless of everything. At that time, Lu Bu would be finished. Regardless of Lu Bu's bravery, Cao Cao's generals are not bad, and Cao Cao's current strength is too strong. Liu Bei was able to overwhelm him.

When Liu Biao, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao were fighting for Nanyang, Chen Ziming led [-] troops to join Zhao Yun outside Yecheng.

Chen Ziming looked at the majestic city of Ye from the top of the hill, and hissed for a moment. This is a great city of history and civilization, Yuan Shao's base camp, and Yuan Shao managed it very well.

When Yuan Shao was there, it was difficult for the hidden guards to penetrate Yecheng. Later, after Yuan Shang took over Yecheng, Tian Feng and others cleaned it up. Now Yecheng can be said to be a famous strong city in the world.

In terror, only Luoyang, the ancient capital, and Linzi, Liu Bei's stronghold, can be compared with Yecheng.

"I hope that Shenzheng will understand the current affairs, otherwise it would be a pity that such a strong city will be destroyed." Chen Ziming can only hope that Shenpei Kaicheng will surrender, because once Chen Ziming makes a move, this prosperous city will definitely be destroyed.

It's a pity that Chen Ziming's wish was not fulfilled. The judge not only refused to surrender, but also ordered the four gates to be sealed, pretending to live and die with Yecheng.

Chen Ziming had no choice but to order the city to be destroyed, because Chen Ziming would never let the soldiers in his hands use their lives to storm such a fortified city, and time waits for no one, Chen Ziming has no time and trial and appointment to waste it slowly.

After Yuan Shang learned that Liu Bei's army had invaded Jizhou and besieged Yecheng, he had led the army to rush to Yecheng.

Once Yuan Shang's army came back, it would be very difficult for Chen Ziming to break through Yecheng. After all, the talents of Tian Feng and others were not for boasting.

How to destroy Ye City, history has long given Chen Ziming a method, that is water attack, but water and fire are ruthless, once water attack is used, the whole Ye City will become a vast ocean, and the number of dead is unknown, Chen Ziming can't bear it.

There was no accident. When the flood arrived, Yecheng was destroyed in an instant. However, Chen Ziming controlled the amount of water very well, and just broke through Yecheng. Did the entire Yecheng be submerged? There were not many dead. The flood also took the lives of many people.

However, Chen Ziming was allowed to break through Yecheng easily, survived Shenpei and a group of Yuan Shang's officials, and imprisoned the entire Yuan family.
