Zhu Ling's voice sounded again: "Tell Cao Gou, if you don't hand over the people, Lao Tzu will attack the city immediately." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? How could that woman be Qin Chang's wife? Cheng Yu turned to glare at Cao Ang and asked angrily.

Cao Ang also understood the reason why Zhu Ling was angry at this time. He shook his head awkwardly, leaned into Cheng Yu's ear and whispered a few words.

Before Zhu Ling led the army to leave Xuzhou, he wrote to Cao Cao three times and twice, asking him to send Liu Bei and the families of Xuzhou Wenwu to his army. Especially the families of the fallen generals cannot be omitted. Among them, he mentioned Qin Chang's wife, saying that Qin Chang's wife was about to give birth, and hoped that Cao Cao could take more care of it.

Cao Cao and the family members of Wen Wu under his command were all rescued by Liu Beijun, of course he wanted to give this favor, and he also specially sent a doctor to visit Qin Chang's home.

However, this healer knew that Cao Cao had a very special habit, that is, he liked beautiful young women, and he didn't care much about those childish chicks, so he told Cao Cao after he went back, saying that Qin Chang's wife was beautiful and rare in the world.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he immediately asked Cao Cao to lead someone to take Qin Chang's wife Du Shi to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Cao Cao saw Du, he was shocked, and immediately coaxed and deceived Du to tell Jian Yong, saying that he was willing to stay in Pengcheng and not go to Yuzhou.

Jian Yong knew that although he was very angry, he was helpless, so he hurriedly took Liu Bei and everyone's family members out of the city, lest he rob Cao Cao of a few more and couldn't make a difference.

Cao Cao was very happy to get a new beauty, and once told Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and others that he would invite them to drink wedding wine in the New Year. Cheng Yu didn't think about it at the time, who knew that this woman was actually the wife of Qin Chang, a general under Liu Bei.

After Cheng Yu listened to Cao Ang's words, he was so angry that his blood was about to spurt out. However, as a courtier, he still had to wipe his master's buttocks, and said to Zhu Ling in a sneering manner: "General Zhu, you misunderstood. Mrs. Qin was about to give birth, and the prime minister was worried that something would happen, so he took her to the prime minister's mansion. I will go to the inner mansion to send Mrs. Qin out, and ask General Zhu to withdraw from the city immediately. ”

"Hmph......" Zhu Ling sneered, stabbed a knife into the ground, and said coldly, "I'll give you a moment." A moment later, if I didn't see anyone, I asked Cao Bao to lead the army to attack the city and wash Pengcheng in blood. ”

………………

Of course, Cao Cao knew why.

"My lord, why are you doing such a thing?" Cheng Yu wanted to scold but couldn't say it, and said with a blue face, "Quickly return Mrs. Qin to Zhu Ling." ”

"What kind of thing is Zhu Ling? How dare he rob me of a woman? Cao Cao lost face and said angrily, "Immediately order Cao Chun, Xu Chu, Cai Yang, Wang Zhong and others to lead the army back to Pengcheng." I'm going to cut Zhu Ling. ”

"Zhu Ling and you rob women?" Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao with disdain, and said angrily, "Zhu Lingyu has been in Xuzhou for so many years, has he ever robbed a woman?" Have you ever heard of him being a good fisherman? If he wants a woman, with his power, the house will already have a group of wives and concubines, so do you still need to grab it? ”

"Qin Chang is a general in Xuzhou and a subordinate of Zhu Ling, and after he died in battle, Liu Bei and Zhu Ling are of course obliged to appease and protect his family. This is a major event that will win the hearts of the people and stabilize the morale of the military. ”

"You robbed Qin Chang's woman at this time, if Liu Bei and Zhu Ling ignore it, what a heavy blow to the Xuzhou soldiers? Who else is willing to work for Liu Bei and Zhu Ling in the future? You have already taken Xuzhou, why do you still use such despicable means to insult Liu Bei and Zhu Ling, and insult the soldiers of Xuzhou? What's in it for you? ”

Cao Cao glared, pointed at Cheng Yu and scolded: "Are you Liu Bei's subordinate, or mine?" Zhu Ling is arrogant and lawless, what if I kill him? Does Liu Bei still dare to lead an army to fight me? ”

Cheng Yu looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, was disheartened for a while, staggered back, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, you go and kill, you go and kill." The overthrow of the Han is imminent, you don't think about a plan to turn the tide, but you fight with Liu Bei for a woman. After all, the descendants of the eunuchs are short-sighted, thinking that they can dominate the world with their own luck? You killed Zhu Ling, are you still far from death? ”

Cao Cao was furious, stared at Cheng Yu viciously and said, "Cheng Zhongde, you dare to scold me? ”

Cheng Yu shook his hand and turned around.

Cao Cao was furious, drew his sword and was about to rush forward. Xi Zhicai, Mao Jue and others hurriedly grabbed Cao Cao.

"Lord, Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers are outside the city, let's return that woman to Zhu Ling first." Xi Zhicai heard that the drums outside the city were getting denser and denser, and he was so anxious that he turned around, "Zhu Ling took Liu Bei and many Xuzhou civil and military families to the west to enter Yuzhou together, the marching speed must be very slow, the lord has enough time to recruit troops to surround Zhu Ling, why rush at this time?" ”

"My lord, Zhicai is right. Regardless of whether the lord besieged Zhu Ling or not, this time must not be right today. Full of favor also strongly advised.

Cao Cao was scolded by Cheng Yu a few words, although he was very angry, but his mind was also a little clearer, he waved at Man Chong, and said, "Tell Zhongde and ask him to send that woman out of the city." ”

………………

After Zhu Ling rescued Qin Chang's wife, he immediately went out of the city to meet Cao Bao, and then rushed to Peiguo Xiao County with a large army.

At this time, the scout returned, and Cao Jun was hurrying after him.

Zhu Ling, fearing that he would be besieged by Cao Cao, ordered Jian Yong to lead the main army to the southwest and withdraw directly to Runan to meet Zhoucang. He and Cao Bao retreated westward to Liang with 5,000 Danyang soldiers, intending to attract Cao Cao's pursuers to the Dangshan area.

Cao Cao, Cao Chun, Cao Ang and others followed Zhu Ling to Dangshan with five thousand paces.

Late that night, Zhu Ling's ambush was exhausted, and Cao Jun was caught off guard and was killed to the point that the ghost cried wolf and was defeated. Cao Cao, under the protection of Cao Ang, fought desperately to break out of the encirclement. Zhu Ling led the guards to chase and kill. At the time of danger, Cao Ang led people to turn back to block the enemy, fought to the death with Zhu Ling, and finally was nailed to the ground by the powerful Danyang soldiers with more than a dozen spears because he was outnumbered.

Cao Cao fled back to Xuzhou in embarrassment, full of remorse. For the sake of a woman, she lost her beloved son, and she was buried in the barren mountains and mountains with thousands of steps, which was a big loss.

………………

At the beginning of December, Cao Cao personally rushed to Cheng Yu's mansion to make amends to him and consult on a plan to attack Jiangdong.

For Cao Cao, it was difficult to guarantee survival by occupying only one Xuzhou, after all, Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the north were under Li Yi's control. Once the Northern Xinjiang Army roars down, with Cao Cao's current strength, it will not be able to stop it at all. Therefore, occupying the entire territory of Yangzhou has become the most urgent matter at present.

At this moment, Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao, Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others are fighting endlessly in Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are leading the army to attack Jingzhou, which is the best time to attack Yangzhou.

Cheng Yu suggested that Cao Cao send people north to Yanzhou and secretly negotiate peace with Li Yi, while gathering a large army to go south, taking advantage of the momentum and killing Jiangdong.

In addition, the Yellow River is about to freeze, and it is impossible for the Northern Xinjiang Army to start a war anymore, so Yuan Shao can write to Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to contain the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the direction of Henan under the pretext of attacking Jiangdong to relieve the siege of Jingzhou.

As for Liu Bei in Yuzhou, he still has to be on guard, lest he take advantage of his own attack on Jiangdong to send troops to attack Xuzhou.

Cao Cao then sent Mao Jue to secretly go north to Yanzhou to negotiate peace with Li Yi. Send Jia Xin to rush to Yuzhou with heavy gifts and rebuild the old friendship with Liu Bei. The letter told Yuan Shao and asked him to make a counteroffensive posture in Xingyang and Xuchang to contain the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army. He took Xi Zhicai, Cao Chun, Cao Pi, Liu Xun and others to the south to meet Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and prepared to attack Yangzhou.

Before Cao Cao could rush to the Huaishui River, the situation in Jiujiang County suddenly changed.

After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu killed Huang Zu in the Battle of Jiangxia and Shaxian, they wanted to march west to attack Jiangling in one go, but were stubbornly counterattacked by the Jingzhou army. Kuai Liang, Zhang Yun, Gan Ning and others arrived from Changsha with an army and took Shaxian back. Soon, Liu Biao also rushed to Jiangxia and personally supervised the attack.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu learned that Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, they were very worried that he would take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong, so they sent Sun Ben, Sun Quan, and Lü Meng to lead the army back to Jiangdong in a hurry, ordering them to take Jiujiang County before Cao Cao.

Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others received the support of the Jiangdong Army, and immediately joined forces to kill Shouchun.

Yan Xiang and Yuan Yao couldn't support it, and they lost consecutive battles. In order to preserve their strength, Yuan Yao and Liu Ye led the army to retreat to the Anfeng area to temporarily avoid the edge. Yan Xiang had no choice but to ask Cao Cao for help.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan couldn't ask for it, so they waved their troops across the river and inflicted heavy losses on the Jiangdong Army in Xiquyang. Sun Ben and Sun Quan were caught off guard and fled in defeat.

Li Shu, Yuan Yin, and Lü Meng allied forces to attack Shouchun. Yan Xiang couldn't resist, Shouchun City fell, and Yan Xiang, the assassin of Yangzhou, was killed.

However, when Li Shu and the three had just entered Shouchun, and before they had finished drinking a celebration wine, Cao Cao and Xiahoudun led their troops to surround Shouchun.

Cao's attack was very fierce. Yan Xiang's men took the opportunity to launch a rebellion in the city and opened the city gates. Cao Jun rushed in. Li Shu, Yuan Yin, and Lü Meng led the army to break through the siege, but Li Shu was killed in battle, Yuan Yin was captured, and only Lü Meng escaped with hundreds of soldiers.

Cao Jun took advantage of the victory to pursue and took the entire territory of Jiujiang County in a short period of time. Xiahoudun commanded the army, Chen Bing Liyang, and threatened Jiangdong. Cao Cao personally led a large group of men and horses into Lujiang County.

Sun Ben and Lü Meng led the army to defend to the death, and at the same time urgently told Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to ask for reinforcements.

………………

In late December, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had to lead their troops to withdraw from Jiangxia when the Lujiang River was in an emergency and the Yangtze River waterway was very likely to be cut off by Cao Cao. Zhou Yu led his army to defend against the attack of the Jingzhou army in the area of Chaisang and Pengze, while Sun Ce led his army to kill Lujiang.

In the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (200 AD), the first month.

In the New Year, Lujiang County was full of war.

The three armies of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Yao fought fierce battles in the areas of Longshu, Shuxian and Juchao.

Liu Biao hated Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to the core, and personally led the sailors to attack Yuzhang County. There are many warships in the Chaisang area, and the two sides come and go, fighting to the death. (To be continued.) )
