Chapter five hundred and fortieth unexpected stalemate
The clouds on the west side burned a piece of red, and the flag with the word "Cao" passed through the mottled blood-stained city gate and swayed and rolled on the long street. The powerful troops in the Huwei Camp were not many, but they were extremely elite. The iron armor made a "clang" sound while walking, and the figure in the middle of the guard that could determine the life and death of thousands of people.
Walking through the long street, Cao Cao looked at the closed doors and windows on both sides of the street, occasionally feeling afraid and nervous eyes could see from the inside. Sometimes, screams of people who were unwilling to surrender could be heard in any direction, but such resistance would not last too long after the city gate was opened.
"There was Ju Su before, and now another loyal minister... I told the soldiers behind me to restrain the bodies." As the team marched, Cao Cao's eyes were taken back from both sides, "..... Bury him with great fun."
Xu Zhuying was doing his job and then looked around, "Lord, please go to the government office to rest as soon as possible. The city has not been cleaned up yet, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no danger."
In the setting sun, the noise of fighting has gradually disappeared. On the streets ahead, there will be teams of patrolling Cao soldiers passing by from time to time in the alleys. In some remote corners, the resisters have been executed, their bodies have been moved out, thrown into the chariots and chariots that were led away. Black smoke has risen on the city wall in the distance. The fast horses reported by the Cao army ran around the streets, yelling the people to calm the people.
Wow wow wow
The crow flew over the red sky and stood on a tree not far from the government office. When combing the feathers, he turned his head and looked down. A long team came here. After a while, he stopped at the gate of the government office, and there were already people standing in two groups. Since the war, the officials of all sizes and officials in the government office have basically stopped except for maintaining public security in the city. After Shen Rong surrendered to the city, these officials and servants all came to the front yard to wait.
As the sky was getting dark, Cao Cao simply met these people to comfort him, leaving only a group of people to go into the house to ask about the situation in Yecheng. When he walked through a section of the eaves of the corridor, someone pointed to the door at the end of the corridor, "Prime Minister, there is the backyard, Yuan Shao's widow, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's family are there."
"Are you good-looking?" Cao Cao looked at him with his hands behind his back. After getting the person's affirmation, he reminded Cao Pi beside him: "You wait for me nearby, and come over to talk about something for your father."
"Yes, my father is going to work hard." Cao Pi's expression did not change. After bowing to see off his father with great respect, he couldn't help but look at the closed door there, as if there was a magical power to attract him. Then he looked at the left back again, and slowly took a step forward in his thoughts of "go and check it out and go back..."
Pushed open the door...
In the main hall of the government office, the servant came over and picked up the lamp. In the light of the fire, Cao Cao asked officials familiar with Jizhou to give some reports. After all, taking Yecheng and driving Yuan Shang away was basically the overall situation, and only one Qingzhou was left was in his pocket. It was necessary to understand this wealthy province.
Halfway through the conversation, it was completely dark. Not long after having surrendered ministers, someone sent a message outside. At first, he thought it was the news sent back by Xiahou Dun, who had pursued Yuan Shang. However, when he opened Su Bo, his face became extremely ugly. He slapped the message on several cases with a loud bang, and the shocking wine came out of the Jue.
Lu Bu...Xu Rong...Xi Liang army traveled to Baibo Valley and attacked Hedong County
"You guys keep eating!" Cao Cao stood up and whispered to the wandering eyes that he looked over. He walked to the map hanging in the hall with his hands behind his back, picked up an oil lamp and lit it. His eyes swept over the names of various cities in Bingzhou, and narrowed his eyes: "Bingzhou...Hedong...Shangdang...This is to connect together, it's easy to plan."
Then, he noticed Hanoi County and suddenly realized that the county magistrate here seemed to be Wang Kuang... After years of fighting and fighting, he almost forgot about this person.
After watching for a while, Cao Cao put down the lamppost and asked the officials in the hall to continue eating. He walked out and called Xu Chu: "Prepare the military camp and notify Xun You to see me."
"yes!"
When the latter received the order and sent someone to inform him, Cao Cao returned to the corridor that had gone to the backyard before, but Cao Pi disappeared. He asked the guards, and then he realized that the guy had slipped in quietly.
"...When he comes out, he will see me at the military camp."
Cao Cao was not in the mood to pursue the matter, so he gave orders to the soldiers, took Xu Zhu quickly out of the government office, and quickly left the city. While sending a quick horse to Xu Du to ask Xun Yu and Guo Jia's meaning.
After all, the incident came too suddenly, which made him unpredictable. Looking back at the outline of the city in the dark, the white wolf who had resisted Yuan Shao with him, supported each other and had ambitions and passion suddenly pressed a son behind him, General!
The news was coming in early June, but the content was what happened in late May. The Xiliang army, led by Xu Rong, attacked the city and drove straight to Taiyuan County. People thought there would be a fierce battle. However, Lu Bu, based on the people's expectations, took down this city without bloodshed. Looking at the wall, there were only four cities in Daling, Qi County, Zhongdu and Wu County, and it was even rare to have a plain terrain, almost crushed by a flat horse.
Those who were unwilling to surrender were directly besieged by cavalry. After the Xiliang infantry came over and built the siege equipment, they directly took the attitude of breaking the city. Wu County to the south tried to send troops to rescue him. More than 10,000 people were killed by the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and more than half of the surrendered people were over. Along the way, the entire force, including the Xiliang Army itself, had expanded to more than 50,000.
"General Xu, why not fight Hedong County together."
Lu Bu stood on the wall of Wu County, looking at the outline of the towering Jieshan Mountain to the south. Xu Rong was also wearing military uniforms, and his temples exposed under the iron helmet were slightly white. "Rong Zheng has this intention."
Since Dong Zhuo's death, he had only fought against Ju Yi and Zhang He in the Wuruan Pass of Jizhou in the past few years, and hurried back to Yanmen County to garrison. With the beginning of the war in the north, he could only get the task of strictly preventing high-ranking officials. The lack of food and fodder could not support the 30,000 Xiliang Army's long-term attack on the city and camp, and it was inevitable that he felt a little regretful.
Now that Yuan Shao died, his lord also had the ambition to embezzle the north. In addition, he married a wife again and had children, his desire to make achievements did not disappear because of the passage of time, but became more vigorous. Looking back on the important task of military service in Bingzhou that day, Xu Rong wiped the sword edge almost all night. It was almost dawn and sat under the eaves with his son in his arms for a long time. When he recalled it, he couldn't help but feel a little laughing.
He walked to his mighty figure and looked at Wen Hou who was partnering south. His temperament was now hit by the way, "...It's only a matter of time to take down and Youzhou and Cao Cao's face. Since he wanted to fight, he took down Hedong and Shangdang County to form a horn. Going south can block Sili, and going east will be Hanoi... Well, if possible, you might as well take Hanoi together and threaten Jizhou and Yanzhou... It seems that Hanoi is not Cao Cao's territory?"
"Is it related to us?"
"It seems that there isn't."
Lu Bu looked at Jieshan, turned around and strode down the city, "Hahaha... Then fight directly!" Xu Rong followed behind and laughed. There was no big battle to fight along the way, and Hedong County is also a rich county. Once taken down, the families of those wealthy families and gentry could always squeeze out oil and water, so would he have the conditions to march towards Hanoi again?
"As long as you can meet Cao Cao, there should be a big battle, right?" he thought.
In the following days, the two discussed a series of offensives around Hedong and Hanoi, and then left Baibo Valley, with the troops heading towards Hedong in full swing.
At the end of May, news came out from Hedong. The first person to receive the information was Wang Kuang. He had dealt with Gongsun Zhi more than once. The other party had never wanted to seize the city after passing through Hanoi several times. He was as warm as water and ignored it. As time went by, he found something was wrong.
In late June, Cao Cao, who was taking Jizhou in the north, suddenly turned westward, passed Chaoge and entered the boundary of Hanoi, and the Xiliang army, who abused Hedong, turned around and came towards Hanoi, as if he was going to fight with the other party directly.
No King Hanoi.
On the city wall, Wang Kuang stood in the wind with his round body, looking at the vast field with his hands in his hands. He held the letters sent from both sides, and his hair and beard were so angry that he opened his hair and beard: "...... It's outrageous. What is I, Hanoi? What is I, Wang Kuang?!"
He waved his hand and gritted his teeth to look at the counselor behind him: "What do you think you should do? Both families asked me to surrender, I..." His voice became weaker, "...Who did I surrender!"
Climbing in front of two giants is like a fight between gods and a little ghost is in trouble, and there is no place to hide.
When Gongsun Zhi received the news from the south, it was already July 11th. He was a little surprised to see this information. Even Li Ru, Tian Yu and others did not expect such a situation to happen.
Chapter completed!
