Chapter 329 The End of the Three Kingdoms
Jingzhou and Jiangling are already Liu Bei's temporary headquarters. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's million-strong army was flooded by Zhuo Ao, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to attack Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Taishi Ci. After attacking the city and pulling out the strongholds in the past few days, Liu Bei basically captured the nine counties of Jingxiang except Xiangyang and Nanyang, and even won several strong generals such as Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Zhuge Liang was dealing with official business in his hands, but he was thinking about other things in his heart. During this period of time, Liu Bei's development was extremely smooth, but there was one thing that made him quite concerned. Zhuo Ao, who was supposed to come to compete with them for Jingxiang territory, did not It didn't appear, and even the shadow of the Jiangdong Army has not been seen in Jingzhou for the past two days.

The opponent set up such a big game, but when it was finally time to carve up the fruits of victory, he disappeared, and Zhuge Liang's previous coping plans were in vain, as if he had punched nothing. Now the overall situation in Jingzhou has been decided. , because there is no constraint from Jiangdong, Liu Bei has already brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to attack Xiangyang. If Xiangyang can be captured, this battle will be successful.

"Military division, why are you still busy with this? Come out and get ready to go to Xiangyang!" Zhang Fei's loud voice was clearly heard outside the residence.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei who was walking in with a figure of eight in astonishment: "Three generals, didn't you follow the lord to attack Xiangyang? Why are you here?"

Zhang Fei shook Duda's head and said, "It's already taken down, brother sent me to pick you up."

"It has been captured?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei in astonishment, with an incredulous expression on his face. Xiangyang is a big city in Jingxiang. Although Cao Cao's army was destroyed, Xiangyang's defense must be strong. God, counting the round trip, Xiangyang was captured in less than five days?

Zhuge Liang's heart moved, he looked at Zhang Fei and said, "But what's wrong with Zhuo Jiangdong?"

"En." Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Originally, Cao Cao was still confronting us. Three days later, he suddenly left an empty battalion and ran away. When we arrived in Xiangyang, we found out that Zhuo Ao took advantage of us to fight against us." When Cao Cao was fighting, he attacked Guangling and Runan, occupied the whole of Xuzhou, and was leading a large army to attack Xuchang. When Cao Cao received the news, he abandoned Xiangyang, leaving only Cao Ren to guard Wancheng, and led the army back to help Xuchang."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei waved his fist resentfully: "Even if Xuchang can't be captured, Zhuo Aoguang has just won Xuzhou and Runan in just over a month. Runan is a big county, comparable to half a county. Jingzhou is already here, after all, we have been dragging Cao Cao here all along, while Zhuo Ao is making a fortune silently behind, it is not happy to think about it!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help smiling when he heard the words: "We can have today's victory because Jiangdong defeated Cao Cao's million-strong army, and we are here today. But after this battle, Cao's bandits will be seriously injured."

Even if he lost a million troops, it would not be a serious injury to Cao Cao. Jingzhou was not Cao Cao's territory. If that was the case, although Cao Cao was defeated, his foundation remained intact, while Zhuo Ao did not. It was through this battle that Cao Cao's foundation was successfully shaken. As Zhang Fei said, Zhuo Ao was the biggest winner in this battle. At the same time, Zhuge Liang admired Zhuo Ao's courage to voluntarily abandon Jingzhou. It seems that the opponent I also have the same idea as myself in my heart. It seems that the general policy of uniting Jiangdong against Cao will not have too many problems before Cao Cao's demise.

Cao Cao returned to Xuchang in time to avoid the crisis of Xuchang being captured, but Xuzhou and Runan were indeed lost. They had just experienced a defeat, and Cao Cao was in a hurry to mobilize his troops to attack Zhuo Ao. He could only watch Follow Zhuo Ao to stabilize Xuzhou and Runan step by step.

Chen Gui's retirement in Xuchang is considered a kind of hostage. After all, Chen Deng is the shepherd of Xuzhou and he is in charge of a party. If there is no hostage, Cao Cao will not be at ease.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden bad news. Not only Chen Deng was killed, but also the entire family of the Chen family in Xuzhou, and even the family servants were uprooted by Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Lingqi, and the whole family was ransacked. With a mouthful of blood, he let go, and the Chen family was cut off from then on.

Although Cao Cao regretted it, he was helpless, because Zhuo Ao had never been recognized and helped by the nobles, and he could only make troubles endlessly. If Cao Cao wiped out a family full of families, he would have to worry about the crazy counterattacks of the scholars, but Zhuo Ao was different. I have already told everyone that Zhuo Ao is not a soft persimmon. If you dare to stretch out your hand to him, then you should weigh whether you have the ability to plot against Zhuo Ao. If not, then pretend to be a grandson obediently. Bright claws, chopped off your head with one knife.

Fortunately, Zhuo Ao did not continue to use troops after he returned to Xuzhou after attacking Xuchang. Instead, he started education for people's livelihood just like in Jiangdong, which made Cao Cao heave a sigh of relief. It is good to use troops abroad, Zhuo Ao is willing to give up and continue to expand the results of the battle, that is naturally the best.

As for Liu Bei, who was newly acquired in Jingzhou, Cao Cao didn't care. Although Liu Bei has gained a lot this time, he will have to wait a few years if he wants to pose a threat to Cao Cao.

In this way, a few years passed, Zhuo Ao took the title of Huainan King himself in the third year, and Cao Cao was named King Wei in the same year. Although the two sides had occasional conflicts, they did not go to war, but their generals continued to compete with each other. Xuzhou Under Zhuo Ao's rule, the country's power is growing day by day, and the old gentry are gradually being replaced by the new gentry around Zhuo Ao, which makes the world's scholars feel cold, but it also makes countless small families feel excited, because Zhuo Ao now has the capital to fight for world hegemony, Even Cao Cao is afraid of him. If he joins Zhuo Ao early, he may not be able to replace the status of those aristocratic families in the future, just like the old saying: "A prince and a general are better than a kind!"

All of a sudden, small and medium-sized aristocratic families from all over the world surrendered to Zhuo Ao one after another, and with the help of these people, Zhuo Ao's power became more and more stable.

In the fourth year, the war between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang broke out in Hanzhong. Liu Zhang was invited by Liu Zhang to lead his troops into Hanzhong. Seeing this, Cao Cao knew something was wrong. He took Zhou Yu as his commander and took the first step to capture Hanzhong. However, Liu Bei had already seized Xichuan and led the army , The soldiers went out of Jianjiaguan, and fought with Zhou Yu for three months. In the end, Zhou Yu labored on an expedition, and Zhuge Liang relied on Zhuge Liang's lack of strong generals. The two prefectures of Yizhou echo Zhuo Ao from afar.

In desperation, Cao Cao moved his capital to Luoyang to avoid Zhuo Ao's edge.

In the fifth year after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, and his son Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. The world was in turmoil. Zhuo Ao and Liu Bei sent troops almost at the same time. Zhuo Ao sent troops to attack Yingchuan and Yuzhou. Liu Bei did not attack under Zhuge Liang's suggestion. Instead, Luoyang sent troops to take Chang'an. At the same time, Guan Yu sent troops from Xiangyang to capture Wancheng.

Luoyang became an isolated city. Cao Pi was shocked three times a day, and finally moved the capital to Yecheng on the advice of his officials. Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to occupy Luoyang, and Zhuo Ao also broke through Xingyang.

So far, the honeymoon period between Zhuo Ao and Liu Bei has gradually weakened with the decline of Cao Wei. In the end, after Guan Yu disobeyed his orders and attacked Runan, but was shot and killed by Gan Ning, the relationship between the two parties finally broke down. Liu Bei In anger, 50 soldiers came to attack Zhuo Ao. Zhuo Ao deployed a line of defense in the Yingchuan area, but at the same time secretly ordered Lu Xun, who was sitting in Jiangdong, to cross the river and captured Jingzhou, which was in chaos because of Guan Yu's death.

Liu Bei lost Jingzhou, and was beaten by Zhuo Ao in the Yingchuan area. With the death of Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, Liu Bei finally retreated temporarily under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, but seeing his former brothers die one after another, It also made the elderly Liu Bei heartbroken, and soon after returning, he died of depression.

Zhuge Liang was ordered to re-establish the relationship with Zhuo Ao when he was in danger, and after they agreed to defeat Wei together, it would not be too late to fight again.

Zhuo Ao agreed, and the two sides re-established the covenant. The next year, Zhuge Liang led his troops to capture Hanoi. Although Guan Zhang died, there were still strong generals like Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan in Shuzhong, and they were relatively young. Under Zhuge Liang's plan, he fought successively and invaded and annexed a large area of ​​the state. As a last resort, Cao Pi invited Zhou Yu out of the mountain again, and confronted Zhuge Liang in the Yanmen area.

At this moment, Zhuo Ao finally made his move. Under the leadership of Zhou Tai, the navy, which had been trained for many years, quietly landed from the Bohai Sea and directly launched an attack on the interior of Jizhou. The Celestial Halberd, like the female version of Marquis Wen, entered the plains, beheaded Cao Wei veteran Zhang Yun under Wu'an City, and shot Cao Hong, the only surviving veteran of the Cao family, with one arrow. At this time, Lu Lingqi was nearly half a hundred years old, but driven by hatred, she broke out With amazing fighting power, Cao Wei's fierce generals did not dare to raise their heads. Cao Pi ordered Sima Yi to lead Guo Huai, Xiahouba and others to fight.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang suffered a great loss at the hands of Zhou Yu. Tai Shici and Ma Chao died tragically at Yanmen Pass, but Zhuge Liang followed and cut off Zhou Yu's retreat, forcing Zhou Yu to commit suicide at Yanmen Pass. Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to bypass Taihang Mountain Invading Jizhou, Zhuo Ao's army also approached Yecheng from two roads. Cao Pi left Xiandi overnight and fled to Youzhou. Zhuo Ao and Zhuge Liang met in Yecheng, but there was no friendship as imagined. Cheng fought for the battlefield, but in the end, no one could get a bargain. Emperor Xian was shot into a hedgehog by Liu Ya in the melee, and the two sides stopped fighting.

But at this time, Lu Xun and the Nanman invaded Shuzhong, captured Hanzhong and Bashu in one fell swoop, and joined hands with Gan Ning to capture Luoyang, and forced Chang'an. Taking the opportunity to attack Youzhou and wipe out Cao Wei, Zhou Tai attacked Bingzhou at the same time and took Bingzhou that Zhuge Liang had just captured into his hands.

Zhuge Liang returned to Chang'an, but lost most of the world, leaving only the land of Yongliang. He dealt with Zhuo Ao, planned to kill Gan Ning, and even killed two new generals, Ding Feng and Deng Ai.

Zhuo Ao also integrated the world's forces, led the army to attack, and started a battle with Zhuge Liang in the area of ​​Hangu Pass. Zhuge Liang was powerful, but Liu Chan did not have the ambition of Liu Bei. Seeing Zhuo Ao's strength, he was powerless , and finally chose to surrender when Zhou Tai's army was approaching the city.

After Zhuge Liang heard the news, he ordered the three armies to disarm, but he himself did not go to see Zhuo Ao, and he died at Hangu Pass. Since then, the world has been unified, and it took nearly 20 years to unify the world, but it far exceeded Zhuo Ao's prediction , this still did not form a three-legged confrontation in the end, otherwise, this time may have to be delayed infinitely until Zhuge Liang is exhausted.
