A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 284 Race
Originally, it took three days to take the back road from Chang'an Hanzhong, but the map information was delayed by one day, and the carrier pigeon was delayed by half a day. As a result, the two sides almost met at the intersection of the three forks.

The troops on both sides are the elite of the elite, the main force of the main force.

The scene in the sand is just matched with the confrontation between the two armies.

Cao Jun was swept away, and now it's bad, so it can't be worse.

This time he didn't call Xiahoudun to call for battle, but rode out on his own.

Needless to say, King Zhu Rong is also moving forward.

Seeing that this man was wearing a fiery red uniform, Cao Cao knew that it was King Zhu Rong. Looking at the troops behind him, they were completely different from his own army. Those barbaric creatures had obviously experienced many life-and-death battles, and there was no one who was good.

He didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that on the surface there was not much difference in the number of troops, but the difference in actual combat experience was huge.

King Zhu Rong looked at Meng De with eyes that seemed to be asking—Surrender?

Cao Cao just shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm done. You should have surrendered when you are attacked from all directions."

King Zhu Rong did not interrupt, and motioned for him to continue speaking. He must maintain a minimum of respect for a person of this level.

"But there is still one thing that hasn't been done." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked northeast. "Those who plot against me must get what they deserve. I don't want the sergeant to die under the hands of the Nanman. Please let our army pass here." , and fight Sima Yi to the death."

King Zhu Rong was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side is very sincere in both tone and emotion.

If they were allowed to go straight to Luoyang, the Sima clan would have to return to the defense, and if the two tigers fought each other, one would die, and then the Nanman army would just clean up the mess.

Seeing what Cao Cao meant, he had basically given up the game, leaving only his stubborn belief.

Seeing that Zhu Rong was hesitant, Cao Cao simply smiled and said, "Cao will go to Luoyang from now on, and your army will always be behind you. If you turn around, just kill me."

Seeing King Zhu Rong's hesitation, Hua Tan also approached the wolf, and said in a low voice, "You can rely on him, we will go up after he takes Luoyang, and the two great enemies will end here."

King Zhu Rong thought for a long time after hearing this, but shook his head.

"I'm sorry." King Zhurong said calmly, "I have promised your head to the Ma family; I have promised the head of the Sima family to the Deng family; the king's faith is the most important thing, and this king cannot rely on you."

Cao Cao's expression froze, and then he laughed three times.

"I've never seen such a king. Faith is the most important thing..." He turned his head and laughed at Xiahou Dun, "She said that faith is the most important? Faith is the most important? Can this kind of person be king?"

"My lord..." Xiahou Dun looked at his cousin, feeling extremely sad.

He took a step forward and pleaded to the opposite side: "King of Nanman, my lord has only one wish, if you don't trust my lord, Xiahou can swear to himself here!"

As he spoke, he took out his sword.

King Zhu Rong shook his head helplessly again: "Guo Jia has already defied the law, and I admire the loyalty of your generals."

"What..." Xiahou Dun was also completely desperate. Guo Jia committed suicide and died, was it also to protect the lord...

Cao Cao was not surprised when he heard the news. He had already thought of this, but he just didn't tell Xiahou Dun.

He stopped laughing, he was already dead, but Dajun was not.

"King Zhu Rong, since the head on my neck is no longer there, I will not leave. I just want to let my army and my general pass." Cao Cao saw everything and stood up resolutely, "Fucking the head is the army. buy road money."

"My lord!!!!" Xiahou Dun roared angrily, "My lord is gone, what face does Dun have to live on?"

"Shut up!" Cao Cao said angrily, "Yuan Rang, this is my last order. Gather the army and march directly to Luoyang. There must be no mistakes!"

"My lord..." Xiahou Dun knelt down on the ground, tears pouring down on the loess.

"Dun... Take orders!!"

Seeing this scene, no matter how hard-hearted the Nanman people were, they couldn't help it.

King Zhu Rong lowered his head and waved his arms, and the Nanman army consciously gave way.

Xiahou Dun didn't look back either, and just sighed: "My lord, take a step first. After killing the Sima family, Dun will follow the lord."

Xiahou led his army slowly across the border, and the armies on both sides were silent.

After the army passed, the Nanman army closed the gap.

Cao Cao stands proudly, facing the tens of thousands of Nanman troops.

At this time, the familiar voice finally came from behind him.

"Cao thief!!! Take your life!!!"

The three fathers and sons of the Ma family rode their horses to kill them.

Cao Cao stayed where he was, and only smiled at King Zhu Rong: "Little girl, you say you value faith? Sooner or later you will suffer, hehehe..."

On the fourth day of the 21st week, Cao Cao died and Cao Pi ascended the throne.On the same day, Jin Xuan returned Yong'an to Nanman and returned to Wuling.The four southern counties, Wuling, Guiyang, Lingling, Changsha, and Chaisang, were also replaced by Liu Beijun's flag.

On the second day of the 22nd week, Liu Bei occupied Xinye, and the prefect Cao Ren and others died in battle.

On the third day of the 22nd week, Sima Yi occupied Xuchang, and the prefect Xia Houyuan and others died in battle.

On the fifth day of the 22nd week, Sima Yi gave up Luoyang and retreated to Xuchang. Xiahou Dun bypassed Luoyang and took Xuchang again.On the same day, Zhu Rong's First Army captured Luoyang.

On the first day of the 23rd week, Deng Ai of the Second Nanban Army occupied Shangyong, and two days later, occupied Wan.

On the second day of the 23rd week, Liu Bei's army captured Jiangxia.

On the fifth day of the 23rd week, Xiahou Dun attacked Xuchang, but failed and died.On the same day, Deng Aijun broke through Xuchang and beheaded all the enemy generals except Jia Xu.

So far, Nanban has 16 cities, one-third of the world.

In Liu Bei's blitzkrieg, the number of cities changed from 2 to 9 within a few weeks, becoming the second largest force.

After Sun Jian paid a terrible price, he finally defeated Lu Bu's army and occupied Shouchun.

On the seventh day of the 23rd week, Cao Jun's last city, Runan, was broken, and his power was declared dead.

Different from the demise of forces in the past, the entire Cao Cao army, including nearly a hundred generals, did not surrender. Half of the generals died in battle while defending the city.

This has become the most commendable part of Cao Jun's humiliating period.

Of course, except for Cao Huan, who lives in the rear of the Nanman Great Retirement...

He was drinking tea when he got the news—

"Hey, this life has passed like this..."

The game has been going on for 24 weeks, and there are only five forces left in the world.

Nanban: 17 cities.

Liu Bei: 10 cities.

Tian Feng: 9 cities.

Sun Jian: 4 cities.

Lu Bu: 2 cities.

The victory condition of the game is to occupy 2/3 of the world, that is, 28 cities, and Nanman is very close to the goal.

On this day, as usual, in Chen Liu's meeting room, the brother-in-law and the military division were arguing.

Brother-in-law: "Hit PY!"

Grand Military Advisor: "Obviously hit Ye!"

"If we want to win quickly, there are still 11 cities left. We must quickly occupy that line, cut off Liu Bei's road, and then go north."

"That's right, if you don't take Ye, Tian Feng's reinforcements will continue to come up, and Liu Bei will have a chance if he falls into a protracted war!"

"You have to trust Deng Ai, he and Guan Yu fought Shouchun at the same time, it's not certain who will win!"

"Guan Yu is sure to win, Deng Ai is going to contain it!"

"Eternal non-aggression treaty, hold me down!"

"You do not understand!"

"..."

The reminder sounded - Liu Bei asked for communication.

The two each snorted, and connected the connection.

"Are you quarreling again?" Kong Ming's expression was still awkward and he laughed, "Haha, Yun Chang took one step faster and has captured Shouchun."

The two quickly opened the map, and sure enough, Shouchun had changed from red to green.

"Damn..." The two cursed at the same time.

My brother-in-law was taken aback for a moment, looked at the map, and rubbed his eyes: "My eyes are blurred? Red-green color blindness? Yuyan, what color do you think Jianye is?"

"...Green." Hua Junshi swallowed, "It seems that they are also fighting on two fronts."

"No, someone will help!" Kong Ming laughed, and pulled out the domineering young man beside him.

"Sun Hao!" The two cursed at the same time.

Sun Hao forced a smile: "Follow Nanman, I'm afraid the game will be over if my plan is not realized..."

Kong Ming couldn't help laughing: "You two, guess how long it will take me to destroy Sun Jian?"

"Anyway, it's the overlord's family, so it will take two weeks."

"Everyone, close your eyes and count 5 times silently."

"..."

"..."

"Why don't you close your eyes..."

Five seconds later, the last two cities in Jiangdong, Kuaiji and Wu, changed their appearances one after another. The last red city on the map disappeared, and Jiangdong and Jiangnan were all Liu Bei's territory.

"How is that possible!" Fang Xian yelled, thinking silently, Kong Ming was too fast, and had quickly expanded his territory to 14 cities, only 3 cities away from Nanman.

Kong Ming clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, I like to see General Meng's expression!"

"day……"

The furious Nanman duo cut off the line.

A few weeks ago, when Nanman was facing the coalition forces, Kong Ming took the initiative to connect and put forward a tempting suggestion - competition.

Nanban and Liu Bei ceased fighting permanently, and fought for hegemony in the world. The first to reach the 28th city directly won.

At that time, Liu Bei only had two cities, so the ghost believed that they would be faster than Nanman. The Nanman duo felt that Kong Ming must be cheating, so they didn't dare to agree easily.

Then Kong Ming began to show his sincerity, offering the trick of luring Cao to death, and then secretly mobilized his troops to lean towards Xiangyang.The Nanman duo thought about it, and the current situation can only bet on this strategy. If Kong Ming dared to play tricks, they could only pay Cao Cao an advantage as Guo Jia said, and concentrate on dealing with Liu Bei and Sima.

Unexpectedly, Kong Ming was actually a kind person!He persuaded Sima to follow this strategy.

Sima was also at a loss. The Southern Barbarian Liu Bei was working together. If he didn't take the opportunity to annex Cao Cao's territory, he would be the one who died as soon as Zhu Rong's army relieved the siege.

Then, according to what Kong Ming said, one thing happened one after another.

At that time, the two sides had a condition, that is, Zhu Rong must ensure that Cao Cao's main force would not go south to fight against Liu Bei.

Later, I didn't expect that Cao Cao was a traitor, and finally made such a choice. Sima Yi fell into a bad luck. Although he withstood Xiahou Dun, he couldn't stand Deng Ai anymore, and died.

With the demise of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, Nanman and Liu Bei began a race for world hegemony.
