Chapter 0723: Rift

Zhai Yu met a piece of light in the darkness, and when he hurriedly ran over, he saw the scene of the world again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He found himself lying on the ground and sat up with a grunt. I found myself in a hall, looking at the desks, incense burners, screens, curtains and other furnishings, and I knew that it was in the house of the Han people.

He was taken aback, apparently he had been caught again.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The physical discomfort made him cough for a while.

At this moment, a bowl of water appeared in front of Zhai Yu, and a figure also stood in front of him. Looking at the splendid and majestic style of the clothing pattern, you know that this person has an extraordinary status. Zhai Yu hurriedly looked up and saw the person he hated deeply.

"You...... Mr allen...... cough cough cough ......"

Li Yi lifted the bowl and said kindly: "It's been a day, and I'm tired, take a sip of water." ”

The words were like the kindness of his father and the concern of his brother, and the anger in Zhai Yu's eyes gradually turned into disappointment, and he subconsciously took the bowl.

Li Yi walked to the seat, sat down and said, "Zhai Yu, are you convinced this time?" ”

Zhai Yu turned his head away when he heard this, and his face was unwilling.

At this time, a delicate figure walked in, she was wearing the gorgeous clothes of Ding Ling nobles, it was Zhai Yu's sister Zhai Ya. She walked up to Zhai Yu, squatted down, and said with concern: "Brother, don't fight anymore, it's not a shame for you to surrender to my husband, Xianbei was so powerful back then, didn't you also lose under my husband's hands?" Besides, my husband can help you rule the vast savannah. ”

He's just your husband, and he has nothing to do with me! Zhai Yu thought so in his heart, got up and raised his head and said: "General, I still have the means, if the general can break it again, I will be convinced." ”

"This is the third time." Li Yi picked up the tea and took a sip and said with a smile.

"......" Zhai Yu was speechless.

Li Yi's battle almost wiped out the main force of Ding Lingren. It turned out that when Li Yi led his men and horses to fight Zhai Yu's bloody battle, Xu Shu led the army in the city to attack, taking advantage of Zhai Yu's fiasco and Ding Ling's momentum falling to the bottom, attacking Ding Ling's camp. Ding Lingren fell into the enemy camp because of Zhai Yu and the rest of the major tribal leaders, their life and death were unknown, and they had no will to fight, and they were easily defeated by Xu Shu. Except for a few who fled, the rest became prisoners of the Northern Frontier Army.

The 70,000 troops that Zhai Yu brought to Dragon City were almost wiped out.

This big victory greatly increased Li Yi's confidence, and the surrender of Zhai Yu was in front of him, so he no longer counted Zhai Yu, and said: "In this case, you can go back and fight again." ”

Zhai Yu was overjoyed, turned around and left without saying a word, but when he saw Zhai Ya on the side, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart how he made God send his sister to marry Li Yi. But luckily, I was able to get out of it.

He also knew that he could get out easily, and he also had a relationship with Li Yi's in-laws, but he was really unconvinced.

"Thank you for your patience and let my brother go back." Zhai Ya said gratefully.

"Your brother is my brother, how can I bear to kill him, but Zhai Yu is stubborn, and he refuses to bow his head until now." Li Yi said with a smile.

Zhai Ya turned around and walked over, stroked her shoulder with her jade hand, rubbed it for Li Yi, and said, "He just can't change his mind for a while, if it's next time, he will definitely be convinced." ”

"That's easy for you to say." Li Yi laughed and said, "I don't know if you can be convinced." ”

Zhai Ya glanced at Li Yi charmingly, and whispered: "Of course Zhai Ya is convinced. ”

As he spoke, he fell into Li Yi's arms and stroked it.

After a while, there was a strange wheezing sound in the room.

………………

When Li Yi was fighting fiercely with Ding Lingren in Dragon City, the war in the Central Plains did not stop.

Because Li Yi withdrew from the Yanzhou battlefield, Cao Cao was freed up. Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces to attack Yuan Shu, and the two sides fought fiercely at Xiapi City. Zhang Xun and He Yi defended the city, and the battle situation gradually fell into a stalemate.

Just when Cao Cao and Liu Bei were racking their brains for the siege of the city, the news that came from all over the country made the two of them restless.

First of all, the news came from Luoyang that the battle in Guanzhong had ended.

Yuan Shao and Han Sui privately reached a tacit understanding. Yuan Shao ceded Fufeng County to Han Sui and provided Han Sui with a certain amount of money and food, and Han Sui also made a promise that he would never attack Chang'an. Yuan Shao immediately withdrew his troops, and the men and horses of each unit hurried back to their respective garrisons.

In this way, Yuan Shao will be able to free up his hands to help Yuan Shu and plot against the Central Plains.

Then, from Qingzhou, there was news that Yin Li and Wu Dun attacked Langya County again.

In order to stabilize Zang Ba, Cao Cao and Liu Bei spent a lot of thought, although the two also knew that Zang Ba and Hebei had dealings, but under the current circumstances, as long as Zang Ba did not attack Yan and Xuzhou, and did not let the Northern Xinjiang Army enter the counties of Northern Qingzhou to threaten the Central Plains, the two could bear it. However, if you can stabilize Zang Ba, you can't stabilize Yin Li and Wu Dun. These two have a deep grudge against Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Now they occupy the two large counties of Beihai and Laiwu, and with a solid rear, of course, they must take the opportunity to expand outward, and the preferred target is Langya County in Xuzhou.

Before Liu Bei attacked Yuan Shu, he also took precautions, and deliberately let Zhu Ling and Cui Yan lead the army to sit in Langya and Donghai counties. After Zhu Ling, Yin Li, and Wu Dun fought, Xuzhou fought on two battlefields at the same time, and the already tight financial endowment was even more difficult to support.

Now that Yuan Shao has withdrawn from Guanzhong, Yuan Shu has a strong backup. Liu Bei immediately suggested that Cao Cao stop the attack for the time being, and send people to Luoyang first to have a good talk with Yuan Shao.

To be honest, Liu Bei couldn't hold on. Yanzhou suffered a year-long drought last year, and there was no harvest. Another important reason why Cao Cao was very enthusiastic about helping Liu Bei fight Yuan Shu and recover Xiapi County this year was that he hoped to rely on Xuzhou's money and grain to feed tens of thousands of troops in Yanzhou. During this period of time, the two of them recruited troops and horses, and at the same time fought with Yuan Shu, Yin Li and Wu Dun, which cost so much that they almost hollowed out Xuzhou.

However, Yuan Shao has never expressed his position on the matter of Yuan Shu's re-establishment of the imperial system, and I don't know what he thinks in his heart. If he was determined to help Yuan Shu, then even if Cao Cao was willing to send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang now, Yuan Shao would not want it.

While the two were discussing with a group of staff, two more pieces of news came.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou attacked Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and the Yizhou army and the Jingzhou army fought in the area of Huya Mountain in Yiling, Nanjun. Probably seeing the loss of the Jingzhou army in the Hebei battlefield last year, Liu Zhang thought that it was a good opportunity to attack Jingzhou, so he personally led an army of 30,000 on land and water, and went down the river to kill Jingzhou.

The chaos in Jingzhou will inevitably affect Yuan Shao's decision-making. Yuan Shao has always coveted Jingzhou, but because of his friendship with Liu Biao and Jingzhou's strength, he didn't dare to do it. If Liu Biao's army is defeated this time, or if Jingzhou is in danger, Liu Biao asks Yuan Shao for help, it will be a great opportunity for Yuan Shao to take the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou.

This news gave Cao Cao hope of defeating Yuan Shu.

There is also a message sent by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took advantage of the Yangzhou assassin Liu Xuan to attack Zhenrong and Peng Ze was empty, and suddenly ignored the threat of Yuan Shu behind him, first took Peng Ze, then took Chaisang, and then along Peng Lize and Ganshui, directly killed Nanchang, the county governor of Yuzhang County. In less than half a month, the main counties of Yuzhang County, the naval army and more than 1,000 warships left by Liu Miao in Pengze and Nanchang were all in hand.

At this time, Liu Xuan and Hua Xin were killing Zhenrong in the Yichun area. He was defeated and fled to the mountains, where he was killed by local mountain bandits. A group of mountain bandits took the leader of the people of Zhirong and received the reward, and just left happily, Zhou Yu's letter was delivered to Liu Xuan. Zhou Yu said very politely, saying that I have taken Nanchang, so that if you have nowhere to go, you can return to Nanchang and live a stable life with your family.

Liu Miao was dizzy at that time and couldn't afford to get sick. Hua Xin left the army in Yichun, returned to Nanchang by himself, and scolded Zhou Yu bitterly.

Zhou Yu waited for him to finish scolding, and persuaded him that there were still more than 10,000 troops in Yichun, and thousands of captured Zhenrong's subordinates, and they were about to run out of food, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about them.

Hua Xin returned to Yichun. The matter has come to this point, what else can be done, Yuzhang County is already Zhou Yu's, and these troops have to be handed over to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu effortlessly took Yuzhang County, got an army of nearly 30,000 people, and his strength increased sharply.

Hua Xin did not want to stay in Yuzhang, so he took Zhou Yu's letter to the imperial court, traveled north, and rushed to Cao Cao's camp. Although Liu Miao was properly treated, his heart disease was too serious and he died in Nanchang soon after.

Cao Cao and Hua Xin knew each other as early as Luoyang, and they were very happy to see each other at this time. After reading Zhou Yu's letter, he asked casually, "Where is Sun Ce?" ”

"When Zhou Yu attacked Yuzhang, Sun Ce was fighting fiercely with Zhang Ying in the Lingyang area. After Zhou Yu took Yuzhang, Zhang Ying had no way out, so he had to take refuge with Sun Ce with his army. However, Sun Ce never led his army into Yuzhang County. Hua Xin pointed to the letter in Cao Cao's hand, "There seems to be a contradiction between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, otherwise, it would be impossible for Sun Ce not to enter the Yu Zhang, and Zhou Yu would not go to the court alone to report the victory." ”

Cao Cao smiled smugly and said, "I already knew that there was a problem between the two. What kind of thing is Sun Ce, with the talent of Yangzhou Xiao Zhoulang, how can he be willing to live under others and obey Sun Ce's drive? ”

Hua Xin sneered: "Zhou Yu's character, I don't think it's any better. This kind of ruthless young man will not be able to achieve great things in the future. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate these two young people. If we go back 20 years, we may not be able to achieve what they are today. ”

"Don't want the achievements that have been obtained by such despicable means." Hua Xin waved his hand angrily and said, "It's a mess in the world, I can't understand it, I'd better go home." ”

Cao Cao smiled and persuaded him to go to Changyi City, Yanzhou to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, first serve in the court, and don't go home for the time being.

Since Zhou Yu successfully occupied Yuzhang County and controlled the western part of Danyang County, he formed a confrontation situation with Sun Ce, who occupied Wu County, Huiji County, and the eastern part of Danyang County.

The sudden change in the situation in Jiangdong greatly favored Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shu. (To be continued.) )
