"..."
Zhang Fei understood that as long as the people in the world don't know about it, he can do it.
Guan Yu squinted his eyes and seemed to understand.
They have been brothers for many years, what is the eldest brother thinking, how can they not know that they are brothers!
Zhuge Liang looked at the reactions of the three brothers, and felt a little regretful: Did I follow the wrong person?
Half of the world has already been captured by the "rebel" Huang Shang, and now the north is also owned by Cao Cao. In the world of Han, only Xiliang has a little territory left, and what does his lord have now?
Two brothers, three thousand remnants and defeated generals, plus him as a military adviser, no matter how you look at it, they will not be much better than bandits and bandits.How can we grab a piece of land in this situation where the ownership of the world is almost a foregone conclusion?
Zhuge Liang couldn't think of a way even after thinking about it.
It was too late to flee to Xiliang now, and the city defenders under Huang Shang refused to take them in. Cao Cao's army was chasing them fiercely.
unless……
Zhuge Liang glanced at the three brothers again, and it seemed that the only way to seize Xinye was.
Take Xinye down, and if Cao Cao dares to attack, he will immediately abandon the city and run away. Anyway, the situation will not get worse; Huang Shang negotiated.
As long as Huang Shang and Uncle Huang's opposing positions are dispelled, and Huang Shang leaves them to guard Xinye, there is still hope.
if not...
Ugh!
Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh: I shouldn't have come out of the mountain.
Not long after, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu took advantage of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's rest and headed straight for Xinye with [-] generals.
Xinye was only a small city. Although tens of thousands of troops could be stationed outside the city, Guan Yu had already sent out scouts to investigate the surrounding area of Xinye long before sending out messengers.
Outside Xinye City, there is no barracks at all, so all the garrisons should be in the city, but Xinye is a small city that can garrison [-] soldiers in the sky, and the city wall is low, it can't stop the shooting of bows and arrows at all, it is extremely easy to attack Difficult to defend.
Although Guan and Zhang only brought [-] soldiers with them, these people have rich combat experience, even if there are [-] defenders in Xinye City, there is nothing to be afraid of, the breach will only happen overnight.
Full of confidence, Guan and Zhang led their troops to the foot of Xinye City. Zhang Fei rode out on a black horse and shouted: "Luo Ping'an, quickly open the city and surrender, but you will not die! Otherwise, the city will be destroyed." At that time, it will be the day you give the head!"
Standing at the top of the city, Luo Ping'an saw the thousands of soldiers led by Guan Zhang, and sneered: "Sure enough, they have bad intentions."
As soon as they raised their hands, hundreds of Musketeers pointed their guns at them.
"I'll count to three and leave Xinye immediately, or don't blame the general for being rude!" Luo Pingan shouted.
Zhang Fei yelled angrily: "You bastard! Second brother, let me rush forward for a while!"
Guan Yu squinted his eyes and saw the strange weapon of the defender on the city wall, and asked, "Third Brother, do you know what weapon the defender is holding?"
"I've never seen it before." Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "No matter what it is, it can't stop me, old Zhang Yimao! Second brother, are you going to charge? If you don't, then you will."
Guan Yu took a deep breath, clenched the broadsword in his hand, and said, "Let's fight together with Yide, brother!"
"Hahaha..., good! Today I will fight with my second brother! Kill——"
Guan Yu shouted loudly: "Kill—"
"kill--"
Two thousand five hundred soldiers rushed towards Xinye City shouting loudly, scaring away the beasts in the woods outside the city.
Luo Pingan sneered and waved his hand: "Fire!"
Chapter 55 Liu Paopao and Cao Paopao
Thirty miles outside Xinye City, Liu Bei camped.
As the evening approached, a scout ran back in panic, with a terrified and hoarse voice: "My lord—it's not good!"
Liu Bei, who was "resting" in his tent, heard the roar, and the straw rope in his hand almost fell to the ground.
what happened?I still want to weave two pairs of straw sandals for my second and third brothers to wear before their triumphant return!What kind of funeral is this outside?
When Liu Bei stepped out of the tent, he saw the scout jumping off his horse from a distance, stumbling to his knees in front of him: "My lord...the second general, the third general...they...they..."
Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to them!?"
"They led their troops to attack Xinye. They didn't expect that the soldiers in Xinye City would have a strange weapon. Before the second and third generals rushed to the foot of Xinye City, they... died in battle."
"What!?" Liu Bei's eyes darkened and his body swayed.
"Lord!"
Liu Bei's camp was in chaos.
Zhuge Liang hid behind the tent and saw this scene, heaved a long sigh, feeling relieved.
……
A few days later, Huang Shang received the battle report from Jingzhou, along with two exquisite wooden boxes.
After reading the battle report, Huang Shang was stunned for a moment: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"
Looking at the two wooden boxes on the case, the size should be able to hold a basketball.
When I opened it, I saw that one had a face like jujubes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and five long beards; the other was as black as coal, with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers.
"Ugh!"
Huang Shang closed the lid and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Erye, who is righteous and Bo Yuntian, and Zhang Sanye, who is "I am the same", did not expect this to be the case when they met for the first time.Without the Three Kingdoms of Guanzhang, are they still Three Kingdoms?
"It's a pity!"
After a moment of silence, Huang Shang suddenly thought of one thing: Why didn't Liu Bei die?
Didn't you say that you don't want to be born in the same year and the same month and the same day, but you want to die in the same year and the same month and the same day'?
Both of your brothers died on the same day, why are you still alive?
Looking at the battle report again, it only said that Luo Ping'an wiped out the [-] generals led by Guan and Zhang under Xinye City, but there was only one sentence in the description of Liu Bei: Bei led the remnants to disappear.
Gone.
As expected, Liu Paopao is full of escape skills, even if the two brothers are dead, they can escape successfully.
It's a pity that he hasn't learned how to count, otherwise he could count where Liu Bei went.
"Forget it." Shaking his head: "Although the world is big, there is no room for Liu Bei to display it. Let him go!"
A few days later, Luo Ping'an was promoted to the prefect of Changshan, with a rank of two thousand stones.
During this period, one stone weighed about 120 catties, and the rank was two thousand stones, which meant that the annual salary was 24 catties of grain.This much food is enough for Luo Ping'an to support ten or eight wives and give birth to one hundred and eighty children.
Huang Shang transferred him to his hometown as the prefect. On the surface, he was promoted, but in fact he was letting him retire in disguise.
Being able to be the parent officer in his hometown, Luo Ping'an is definitely considered a prominent person. In the future, the people of Changshan will not only remember that there was a general Zhao Zilong in Changshan, but also remember that there was a parent officer in Changshan, Luo Ping'an.
Luo Pingan can be satisfied.
Unknowingly, the time came to July. After half a year of preparation, the military report that Cao Cao sent his army south reached the hands of Huang Shang who was checking the road conditions in Yizhou as quickly as possible.
"It's July again?" Huang Shang remembered the records of the Battle of Chibi. Cao Cao began to go south in July, and then was defeated at Chibi in December, completely losing the possibility of unifying the world in his lifetime.
Is history repeating itself?
Huang Shang smiled: "History will not repeat itself, it will only be more cruel."
...I am a few days later...
In Xiangyang, Huang Shang issued a series of military orders.
Since Cao Cao was not afraid of chipping his teeth and wanted to confront him head-on, he simply smashed his big teeth and asked him to go home and drink porridge.
"Zhao Zilong commanded the central army with [-] musket cavalry, [-] musketeer infantry, and [-] siege cannons to face Cao Cao head-on!"
"Changshan Zhao Zilong takes orders!"
"Gan Ning led [-] musket sailors and [-] siege cannons on the right, and crossed the river to attack Xuzhou."
"Gan Xingba takes orders!"
"Zhou Yu and Tai Shici led [-] musket sailors and [-] siege cannons on the left to attack Yuzhou directly!"
"Zhou Gongjin (Taishi Ziyi) takes orders!"
Huang Shang looked at Zhou Yu and Tai Shici with a smile on his face.They were sent to Jiaozhou that year. In less than two years, after the two saw the lives of ordinary people in Jiaozhou, their three views were greatly impacted.
Let the common people live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and enjoy a peaceful time. They all agree that Huang Shang is the Lord of Destiny.Although a little entangled, but for the ideal of calming the world in their hearts, they finally let go of their guards and recognized Huang Shang as the master.
After several years of hard work, he has become a naval general who can stand up to Gan Ning.
This time the three armies attacked Cao Cao. Except for Zhao Zilong, the general of the dragon, who led the ground troops to attack, the other two armies were naval forces.When crossing the river and landing on the shore, all you can rely on are your two legs.If the speed is slower, maybe Zhao Zilong will take all the credit.
At this moment, Gan Ning was secretly competing with Zhou Yu and Tai Shici: he (they) must not lose to him (them)!
(Luo Ping'an: In retirement...)
The battle went smoothly. Although Cao Cao's 20 troops came in menacingly, after encountering Zhao Zilong's Musketeers head-on, they were knocked down by a shuttle before they rushed over.
Cao Cao's super generals gathered in many years of fighting, died in the first battle after facing the saturation attack of tens of thousands of musketeers.
At that time, Cao Cao was in charge of the Chinese army. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately changed the Chinese army to the rear army and ran away.
This speed is no slower than Liu Paopao.
But this was just a microcosm of the war. In the following three months, the three-way army led by Zhao Zilong, Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu, and Tai Shici was like a broken bamboo, attacking cities and villages, and captured Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou at a very fast speed. , Luoyang, and Chang'an drove Cao Cao to the north of the Yellow River.
In three months, Cao Cao lost all the territory south of the Yellow River that had been in operation for many years from the overlord of the north, leaving only the territories of the four states north of the Yellow River. As for losing all political capital.
On the other hand, Huang Shang took over all of Cao Cao's four prefectures, and his territory was expanded again. Now he monopolizes eight of the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty, and he is only one thought away from the unification of the world.
However, Huang Shang did not take advantage of the situation to cross the Yellow River to pursue, but stopped again to engage in production and construction.
Now that the most prosperous territory of the Han Dynasty is occupied by him, Cao Cao can't play for a few days. The most important thing right now is to clean up all the aristocratic families in the four states that he just occupied.
These aristocratic families have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It can be said that they are deeply rooted. It is much more difficult to solve them than Jiangdong, but Taizu said it well: political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Whoever dares to resist, let them directly experience the scientific and technological achievements of the first industrial revolution.
Just as Huang Shang was carrying out cleaning and construction in full swing, his civil servants and military generals secretly gathered together to discuss a "big rebellion" matter.
"Is it time for the lord to ascend the throne?"
More than half of the big man's territory has been knocked down. If they don't claim to be emperor at this time, how should they deal with themselves?
Learn literary and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor's house.
These civil servants and military generals who have received orthodox Chinese civilization education since childhood have very unified thoughts in their hearts. Only the emperor is the orthodox in the world. In order to become orthodox himself, Huang Shang must ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
The group discussed for three days in a row, and finally made up their minds.
On this day, Huang Shang received the news that Zhao Zilong was ill in bed.
As the first general who followed him to conquer the world, how could Huang Shang not visit him in person.
That morning, Huang Shang went to visit Zhao Zilong's residence with various gifts.
As soon as he walked into Zhao Zilong's bedroom, he smelled a soup.
"Ahem, my lord..."
Zhao Zilong struggled to get up.
"Zilong lie down quickly." Huang Shang pressed him on the bed and said, "What's wrong with Zilong?"
"It's just an occasional cold, it's okay." Zhao Zilong's face was a little stiff, and his tone of voice was not quite right, but Huang Shang didn't pay attention to this, and nodded when he heard the words: "Since that's the case, Zilong should take good care of his illness and recover from his illness before he recovers." Don't go out."
A touch of emotion and guilt flashed in Zhao Zilong's eyes, he shook his head, and said, "The end is not so weak, it's just that I have been thinking about something for many days, and my heart is anxious, so I can't get sick."
"What can make Zilong sick?" Huang Shang hurriedly said, "Don't hesitate to say, no matter which family's lady you want to marry, or if you want a peerless weapon, as long as I have a way, I will take care of it for you." .”
"Ahem, why would you think about those trivial matters?" Zhao Zilong was embarrassed.
"Then what can make Zilong so anxious?" Huang Shang asked, "Say it out, and I'll help Zilong learn more about it."
"Alas!" Zhao Zilong sighed, and said: "At the end of the year, the general met the lord from Changshan and escorted the lord all the way to Luoyang. Later, the lord did not give up, accepted him as a general, and went to Jiaozhou to take up his post. At the end of the year, the general never dreamed that he would follow him My lord has laid such a foundation."
Huang Shang said with emotion: "Yes! Back then, Zilong was still a young man, and in a blink of an eye, he was over 30. Speaking of which, I have rewarded you with several beauties. Why don't you have children? Zilong, you won't have any embarrassing secrets, will you?" ?”
"Cough cough cough!!!"
