A day later, Tai Shici and Zhang He led the army to arrive, and then the Wei army pushed various siege equipment to storm Xiaoling, and a quarter of an hour later, the Wei army entered the city.

The general left by Jing Han led the remnants to fight the Wei army in the city, and half an hour later, the general fell under the sword, and another general of the Jing Han army died.

After capturing Xiaoling, Zhang He and the others learned from the captives that Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang and others had fled to Zuo Tang, and immediately left the deputy general and infantry, and he led the light cavalry to chase after Zuo Tang.

More than 10,000 cavalry galloped wildly on the field of Wuling, and the people who saw this scene couldn't help but tremble.

When Zhang He and the others led the army to Zuotang, they did not see a single Jing Han army, more precisely, there was no figure, and the entire Zuotang became a deserted city.

Zhang He and the others immediately led their troops to the port, and the sight was a messy scene, as if people were fleeing from here in the yard not long ago, and there was not a boat on the port, let alone the remnants of the Jing Han army's sailors as mentioned in the intelligence.

Zhang He beat his horse to the water's edge, looked at the sea water that kept slapping at his feet, shook his whip violently, and scolded: "Damn it! Liu Qi, the puppet emperor, ran really fast! ”

"General, what now?" A partial general in the army asked.

"How else can you do that?!"

Zhang He replied aggrievedly, and then said to the herald: "Immediately send a flying pigeon to Your Majesty to report the situation here!" ”

At this moment, a fleet of five or six hundred large ships was heading south in the remote lanes of the Yangtze River, and in this fleet there were not only soldiers but also many terrified civilians with their families and faces.

These people are none other than Liu Qi's remnants and nearly 10,000 people in the Tang Dynasty. Fearing slaughter by the Wei army, these people left Zuotang, where they had lived for generations, along with the Jing Han army.

Of course, these people think this way. It's inseparable from the usual ears and eyes.

Liu Qi stood at the boat and looked at the undulating river, and his mood also fluctuated.

Zhuge Liang came to Liu Qi's side. Glancing at the undulating surface of the Yangtze River, he asked Liu Qi, "Your Majesty, have you lost confidence?" ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh, and said with deep feelings: "Prime Minister, I have done my best, but the will of heaven is not in me, not in the Han!" ”

Liu Qi looked back at the panicked people, his eyes moistened, and said, "Jingzhou has all fallen, and I am already a king of a dead country." The Great Han is gone, and I can go there again with these people! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he frowned and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be so discouraged, in the past, the Yue Kingdom was still destroyed by the Wu State, and the Yue King Goujian became a prisoner of the order, but in the future, the Yue King Goujian tasted the courage without pay. Destroying the state of Wu in one fell swoop and establishing the hegemony of the Yue country, His Majesty will now learn from the king of Yue Goujian, and taste courage without pay. A few years later, there was not a day when there was no counterattack on the Central Plains, and today it has not yet been unified. Sun Jian of Jiangdong and Liu Zhang of Yizhou. Gongsun Du of Liaodong, these are opportunities. As long as you persevere, one day, Dahan will inevitably revive again! ”

Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhuge Liang's gray hair, he could only sigh helplessly.

There is a sentence that Liu Qi can't say at this time, although it is not unified today, but according to the current form, it is not too much to see that there have been any big changes, not to mention, whether it is Sun Jian or Liu Zhang, is it possible for them to take in a dead king?

Liu Qi didn't say anything, he could only silently look at the undulating Yangtze River, as if he didn't know how to live in the future.

The Wei army destroyed Jing Han in just half a month, almost wiped out the Jing Han army, and Liu Qi and his remnants fled into the Yangtze River in panic.

Since then, the entire Jingzhou has been completely incorporated into the territory of the Great Wei, which makes the two remaining princes in the world, Sun Jian, the king of Wu and Liu Zhang, the emperor of Shu Han, unable to help but endanger themselves, and they all watched the movements of the Wei army with trembling eyes.

And when this news reached Chang'an, the whole city couldn't help but rejoice.

Many people went to the tavern to drink and celebrate, and some literati wrote poems in praise of virtue.

After Cao Cao completely occupied Wuling, he finally learned the direction of Liu Qi and others' escape, and left the Second Army Corps, which suffered large losses, in Wuling for repair, and then led the Third and Fourth Army Corps west to the land of Shouchun in Huainan.

After a year of recuperation, coupled with the benefits of greatly encouraging commerce, it is obvious that a small Wuling has no way to stop the army under Cao Cao and cool down the war machine of Great Wei!

On June 15, Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to Huainan, and at this moment, the Wei army concentrated in Huainan had the First Army, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army and 50,000 cavalry, a total of 250,000 people, not including the 60,000 naval troops that had just been formed.

The gloom of war gathered on the land of Jianghuai, and Sun Jian and his subordinates felt a heavy pressure.

Just when Cao Cao gathered an army of nearly 300,000 in Huainan, Sun Jian's son Sun Ce had swept across the South China Sea and Jiaozhou, collecting 100,000 surrendered troops, and at the same time, Sun Jian recruited frantically throughout Jiangdong, coupled with the exchange of interests and compromises with the family, a total of 150,000 new troops were added, plus the 100,000 army in Jiangdong itself, Sun Jian's total strength at this moment has reached 350,000 people, including 80,000 naval troops.

However, although the number of the Wu army was already quite large, its overall combat power could not be compared with the Wei army.

Cao Cao repaired in Huainan for five days, and after all the heavy supplies transported from Chang'an arrived, Cao Cao led an army of nearly 300,000 to press Jiangdong by land and water.

In fact, marching from Jingzhou to Jiangdong was the best route, but Cao Cao subconsciously wanted to avoid the place of Chibi, so he gathered heavy troops to go south from the direction of Yangzhou, and Xu Shu also agreed to Cao Cao's decision considering the problem of army scheduling.

At the same time, Wu's troops also gathered from all over the country towards Wuhu and Zhuling.

On June 22, Cao Cao led a land army to Chaohu, and the scouts received information that all the Wu troops from the Lujiang River through the Hengjiang River to the Tutang line had been scattered to the south of the Yangtze River.

Cao Cao immediately ordered someone to open the map.

Cao Cao's fingers slid over the positions of the Lujiang, Hengjiang, and Tu Tang lines, and speculated: "It seems that Wu Guo is planning to use the Yangtze River as a natural danger to confront my army!" ”

Xu Shu frowned and said, "If you want to go south to attack the army of the State of Wu, you must first defeat the army of Sun Jian of the State of Wu on the Yangtze River!" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "That's right, by the way, where is the navy now?" Cao Cao asked. (To be continued......)
