The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao has always been cautious, he would never make a decision to fight to the death, Cao Cao is a cunning and cunning person who will not make a move without great confidence.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Cao Cao put down his big pie, and began to carefully recall Liu Zheng's experience, from the Yellow Turban Army, to bandits, and then to the little princes of Jiaozhou.

Indeed, Liu Zheng's experience is much more exciting than those of them. Liu Zheng's ability to get to where he is today is also due to Liu Zheng's own efforts.

"Liu Zheng, among other things, you are me, Cao Cao, the person I admire the most in this world. If you are not a traitor, maybe we can become very good friends. Hahaha!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, raised his wine glass again, and signaled a toast to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng also took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass and replied to Cao Cao.

"Even now, we can still be very good friends."

"Not now, now that I have become your prisoner, and my status has changed, I can no longer communicate with the same identity."

"Haha, brother Mengde is worrying too much, do you know the purpose of my coming to see you today?"

Liu Zheng finished his glass of wine in one gulp and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, seemingly in deep thought.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said to Liu Zheng: "You probably didn't come to kill me, otherwise there would be no need to prepare such a sumptuous meal for me, but you won't let me go, presumably you are here to persuade me to surrender? "

Cao Cao is still smart, and he can judge Liu Zheng's intentions only through these.

Liu Zheng nodded along the way.

"That's right, in today's great Han world, brother Meng De, you have also seen that the emperor is just a puppet of the He family, with foreign relatives in power, the people are in dire straits, Yuan Shao is in trouble in the north, and the Qiang people in the west are also disobedient. Such a Han court , can it still shock the world?"

"I am not talented. Although I am not a child of the royal family, I am also a descendant of the great ancestor. I can't bear the suffering of the people in the world. I can only turn the tide and help the building to collapse!"

Chapter 6: The Fu Building Will Fall

"It's a good one to turn the tide and help the building to collapse!"

Cao Cao recited Liu Zheng's words carefully, savoring the meaning.

Of course, this sentence was not original by Liu Zheng. He just vaguely remembered that he had read such an article, and there was such a sentence in it, which was more suitable for the current scene, so he opened his mouth and came.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, after all, your name and words are not right, and doing so is rebellion."

"What is rebellion? The court can only encircle and suppress me, but can't I kill the soldiers and horses of the court? I just want to push away the dark clouds of this dark feudal rule, and let this and China usher in a bright new life."

"The decaying Han dynasty has reached the end of its lifespan. It's time to be reborn. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu could extend the life of the Han Dynasty for more than 200 years. I, Liu Zheng, can do the same!"

After Cao Cao finished listening, he smiled lightly.

"Although you have gained an advantage on the Qingzhou battlefield, the imperial court is not so easy to deal with. The emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and the imperial court still has 10,000+ soldiers and horses, occupying several states. How can you handle it with a single sentence? of."

"Brother Mengde, now Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, most of Jingzhou, even Qingzhou and Xuzhou are all in my hands, sitting on most of the world, do you think the imperial court still has the ability to compete with me?"

"Xuzhou? When did Xuzhou become yours?"

Cao Cao was taken aback.

Seeing Cao Cao's surprised appearance, Liu Zheng seemed a little proud and didn't hide it, so he immediately explained to Cao Cao.

"Before I came to Qingzhou, I asked my general Tai Shici to attack Xuzhou from the north of Wu County. Tao Qian took away most of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses. He couldn't stop my general. When I finished dealing with the Qingzhou matter , just go south and have a round with Tai Shici, can Xuzhou still go?"

Although Xuzhou has not been obtained yet, Liu Zheng has already determined that Xuzhou is his.

At that time, there will be thirteen states in the world, and Liu will fight for the land of five states.Yanzhou and Yuzhou can also be captured at any time.

Half of the territory is controlled by Liu Zheng, and it is not yet just around the corner to win the world.

"I didn't expect you to kill three birds with one stone this time! Awesome, as expected of Liu Zheng, I admire you."

"Hahaha, I dared to lead people to aid Qingzhou, and I took a lot of risks. Natural risks and benefits coexist."

Although Cao Cao was surprised by Liu Zheng's words, Cao Cao didn't seem to have any intention of surrendering.

Liu Zheng knew that it was not so easy to persuade Cao Cao to surrender, and he didn't intend to persuade Cao Cao just by talking.

After Cao Cao had a full meal, he didn't mention a word about the surrender. He just chatted with Liu Zheng and talked about the general trend of the world.

Liu Zheng was also savvy and didn't ask Cao Cao whether he would surrender.

Instead, after staying in this yard for a while, he took the initiative to leave.

The first chat with Cao Cao didn't make much progress, but Liu Zheng also knew that Cao Cao didn't hate him, as long as he didn't hate him, then Liu Zheng always had a way to slowly consume Cao Cao.

Sometimes recruiting an enemy is like falling in love with a girl. You have to be thick-skinned, meet with him more, and pursue it with shamelessness in order to achieve your goal.

Even if you don't succeed, you can know whether you have hope.

It's like Liu Bei went to invite Zhuge Liang to pay three visits to the thatched cottage.

It is also thick-skinned.

Leaving from Cao Cao, Liu Zheng went to the barracks to appease Cao Cao, and Liu Zheng was going to see Zang Ba.

This time, Zang Ba was very high-spirited. After he joined Liu Zheng, he killed his enemy Tao Qian without thinking of the first battle.

Let Zang Ba let out a bad breath.

Liu Zheng still needs to rely on bandits like Zang Ba and Zang Ba, so it is necessary to appease the emotions of Zang Ba and these people.

Ask Zhang Ning to take out some rations, the rations he has already obtained from Cao Cao to reward the three armies, but he needs to eat and drink well on the first day.

However, the main reason why Liu Zheng came to Zang Ba was to ask Zang Ba to chase Liu Bei's men on the second day.

Although Liu Bei fled to Linzi City with his remaining soldiers and horses, Liu Bei was always a threat.

It is impossible for Liu Zheng to let Liu Bei continue to grow in Qingzhou. He wants to drive Liu Bei out of Qingzhou, which makes Liu Zheng feel at ease.

Otherwise, as soon as Liu Zheng leaves Qingzhou, with Liu Bei's ability, he will still slowly suppress these people who stayed in Qingzhou.

And now the imperial court has focused more and more attention on Liu Zheng. It is only a matter of time before Liu Zheng needs to declare war with the imperial court. In order to make his hole cards more, Liu Zheng can only continue to expand his influence .

Zang Ba, who had just joined Liu Zheng's command, naturally wanted to show off. He didn't hesitate at all about what Liu Zheng said about chasing Liu Bei, and he agreed directly.

With Zang Ba going to pursue Liu Bei first, Liu Zheng was relieved for the time being, and told Zang Ba that he didn't need him to destroy Liu Bei, but only needed to follow Liu Bei and harass Liu Bei when he got the rear.

Pay close attention to Liu Bei's dynamics, wait for Liu Zheng's army to come, and then fight Liu Bei in a decisive battle.

This is mainly because Liu Zheng wants his troops to temporarily recuperate in Beihai for two days. Firstly, the soldiers and horses have lost too much and need to recuperate from their injuries. Secondly, Liu Zheng needs to gradually take away the soldiers who were previously taken away by the officers and soldiers. The cities of the city will be fought back one by one.

Only by taking back all the surrounding cities can the rule of the government army in Qingzhou be wiped out, otherwise Liu Bei will be driven away, and these towns will still be useless if they are still under the jurisdiction of the government army.

The sooner the town is taken back, the jurisdiction of Qingzhou can be controlled by Liu Zheng.

Of course, the main reason why Liu Zheng wanted Zang Ba to contain Liu Bei was that Liu Zheng wanted to go south to surprise Xuzhou at this time.

Tao Qian was defeated, and Liu Zheng wanted to capture Xuzhou in an instant, and the sooner the better.

Otherwise, when the news of Tao Qian's defeat is transmitted back to Xuzhou, and when the counties and counties in Xuzhou are ready, Liu Zheng will attack again, but it will be a little more difficult, especially if the imperial court sends a new governor to go there.

Then Liu Zheng will have to spend a lot of money to completely defeat Xuzhou.

And taking advantage of the death of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and the lack of troops in Xuzhou, Liu Zheng went south to occupy Xuzhou and gathered Tai Shici's troops. At that time, no matter whether he went north to fight Liu Bei or attacked Yuzhou, he would advance and retreat in a certain way.

On the second day after the battle outside Beihai City, Zang Ba took people to Linzi City to pursue Liu Bei.

Liu Zheng didn't rest here either. He assembled his troops, took Wenpin and the remnants of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai with him, and went directly south to Xuzhou.

Zhang Ning originally wanted to follow Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng said he would come back again, so he temporarily stayed in Beihai to deal with the leftover matters.

Chapter 6 and Three

Going south from Beihai is Langya County.

Relatively speaking, it is closer to Xuzhou from Wujun. According to the time, Liu Zheng guessed that Tai Shici should have occupied Huainan at this time, and passed through Huainan to go to Xiapi.

When calculating the time, maybe if Tai Shici's speed is fast enough, Xiapi might have been beaten down by Tai Shici's troops.

However, Liu Zheng still needs to pass through Donghai County to get to Xuzhou from Langya County, and the whole route will be longer.

Langya County.

This is a well-known place. The reason why it is famous is because it is the No.1 person in the Three Kingdoms, the hometown of Zhuge Liang.

When Liu Zheng attacked here, it didn't take much effort. As soon as the army arrived, he directly took down Langya County.

After all, Zhao Yu, the prefect of Langya County, had died in the hands of Zang Ba a long time ago. Zhao Yu took thousands of soldiers and horses from the county city, and the defenders who stayed in the city were only 3000 people. If he could stop it, he simply abandoned the city and surrendered.

After entering Langya County, Liu Zheng originally wanted to go directly south to Donghai County, but since he arrived in Langya County, he knew that this was Zhuge Liang's hometown, so Liu Zheng didn't want to go find Zhuge Liang, he was really unwilling.

When he asked the county official who hadn't escaped yet, he easily found the location of Zhuge's house.

Zhuge's family is in Yangdu County, Langya County, and it is considered a big family in Yangdu County.Liu Zheng vaguely remembered that Zhuge Liang's father seemed to be a small official in the late Han Dynasty, so it was not difficult to find Zhuge Liang.

Anyway, find out where the Zhuge family is, and then ask if there is a child named Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and you will know.

Liu Zheng only brought two thousand of his own soldiers, and it took him a day to arrive in Yangdu County. After asking about the address of Zhuge's house, he arrived at Zhuge's Mansion in Yangdu. funeral.

Liu Zheng was taken aback by this, and after a little disguise, he only brought Dian Wei and Zhou Yu and a few cronies near the Zhuge family's mansion, and after a little inquiring, he knew the reason of the matter.

It turned out to be Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Gui, who was sick and went home to recuperate. Some time ago, he finally couldn't get over it, and passed away two days ago.

Liu Zheng vaguely remembered that Zhuge Liang lost his father in his early years, and later grew up with his own comfortable Zhuge Xuan, but what Liu Zheng didn't expect was that, by coincidence, when he rushed over, it happened to be the date of Zhuge Liang's father's death in history .

In the lobby of Zhuge's house, there is a mourning hall.

The 15-year-old Zhuge Jin was kneeling in the middle, dressed in sackcloth. On the left and right sides, one was the eight-year-old Zhuge Liang, and the other was the younger Zhuge Jun.

Beside these people, there was a woman in plain clothes, and two girls who were a little older.

The woman is Zhuge Liang's stepmother, because Zhuge Liang's mother died early when Zhuge Liang was three years old, and later Zhuge Gui married another wife, and the two [-]-year-old girls beside her were Zhuge Liang. sister.

When Liu Zheng saw these two girls, it seemed that Zhuge Liang had two older sisters, one married to the Kuai family in Jingzhou, and the other was married to Pang Shanmin, Fengchu's cousin in history.

Although Zhuge's family was considered a big family in Yangdu County, Zhuge Gui's family seemed a bit deserted, with no visitors except for a few servants.

Seeing the appearance of Liu Zheng and his group, Zhuge Jin and others who were kneeling inside got up and came over to ask Liu Zheng's purpose.

"A visitor is here."

The boy standing on one side yelled loudly when Liu Zheng entered the door.

Everyone in the hall came out, and when they saw Liu Zheng and his party, they first bowed and saluted before speaking.

"Are you here to worship my father?"

Although the 15-year-old Zhuge Jin was not yet an adult, he already looked like an adult. After his father passed away, Zhuge Jin became the main male and the person in charge of Zhuge's family.

Not only to support the stepmother, but also to educate the two young brothers.Of course, because of his uncle Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin in history did not need to do these things, but now, Zhuge Xuan is still an official outside, and he will not be able to come back in a short time, so it is Zhuge Jin who is in charge at home.

Liu Zheng also looked at Zhuge Jin at a young age, and he was already very sensible, but he didn't ask them if they wanted to take refuge with him when they came, but responded kindly that Zhuge Jin himself was here to defeat Zhuge Gui.

With these few words, Zhuge Jin and others did not stop Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng walked into the hall, looked at Zhuge Gui's mourning hall, offered incense, and worshiped.

During the whole process, Zhuge Jin seemed relatively indifferent. After Liu Zheng worshiped Zhuge Gui, he found a place to rest in the side yard of Zhuge's house under the leadership of the servant.

Because the mourning hall here needs to be arranged for seven days, it is difficult for Liu Zheng to propose solicitation at this time.

Liu Zheng became a little calmer when he learned that Zhuge Jin would stay here for three years after his father's funeral.

You know, for a while, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and others will not leave here. If they want to stay here for three years, Liu Zheng will not be in a hurry to recruit Zhuge Jin and others, but will bid farewell to Zhuge Jin the next day When leaving, Liu Zheng deliberately took out some gold from his bag and solemnly handed it to Zhuge Jin.

Although Zhuge's family was not poor, after Zhugegui's death, there were only children in the family. Without financial resources, life would definitely not be too easy. If Liu Zheng wanted to use money, he would make a good relationship with Zhugejin first, and wait for Zhugejin to keep his filial piety in the future After that, it is also an excellent opportunity to recruit Zhuge Jin.

After two days of delay in Yangdu, Liu Zheng led his own soldiers and returned to Langya County. Wenpin and Zhou Tai did not wait for Liu Zheng here, but led the army to go south to attack Donghae County.

After passing Donghai County, you can go directly to Xuzhou City. Liu Zheng won the two days he was delayed in Yangdu when Wenpin and Zhou Tai led the army south.

Donghai County is not very big, and the boundary in Xuzhou is not important. Because it is close to the coast, most of them are fishermen. Of course, there are also big families in Donghai. The relatively large family in Donghai is the Wang family of Donghai.

The Wang family is a famous family in all parts of the Han Dynasty, and the famous people include Wang Yun and Wang Lang.

Wang Yun is the Wang family of Taiyuan, and Wang Lang is the Wang family of Donghai.

The Wang family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not a particularly prominent family. After a few decades, in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Wang family's power developed rapidly.

This is due to the fact that Wang Lang's grandson, Queen Yuan Ji, married Jin Wen Emperor Sima Zhao and gave birth to Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan.

Chapter 6 and Four Outside Xuzhou City

It is Zhao Zi, the prefect, who is stationed in the East China Sea.

Liu Zheng has a little impression of Zhao Zi, but he just remembers that he was a minister of the Wu State, and during the Battle of Yiling, he replaced Sun Quan as an envoy to Cao Wei. As for whether he is the current East China Sea prefect Zhao Zi, Liu Zheng is not sure .

After all, Zhao Zi’s sense of presence in the Three Kingdoms period is really not high. Many Three Kingdoms games of later generations don’t even have this character. The reason why Liu Zheng remembers such a number one character is that he paid attention to the Battle of Yiling. When deciding the battle of the Three Kingdoms, remember that there is such a number one person.
