At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

You know, the current emperor is in Changyi. Once the city of Changyi is destroyed, even if Cao Cao returns to Yanzhou at that time, he will be like a rootless duckweed, and it will be difficult to get up.

Although Guo Jia is smart, he never expected that Liu Bei would break up with the always nice Kong Rong.

Guo Jia didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be such an idiot, and when he heard Liu Bei's army returning for help, he fled back to Yuzhou with his tail between his legs.

What Guo Jia didn't even expect was that after Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou, he had the courage to directly attack Yanzhou.

Isn't he afraid that Yuan Shao, who has calmed down, will attack Xuzhou again?

But this is the end of the matter, and Guo Jia can't just watch the Xuzhou army invade Yanzhou.

Now, Yuan Shu could no longer count on him, so Guo Jia turned his attention to Yuan Shao in Yangzhou.

Guo Jia wrote to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao wrote back, saying that Yuzhang County was initially settled, and Yangzhou was temporarily free to attack Xuzhou.

After many inquiries, Guo Jia had a bad premonition in his heart. This time he went to Yanzhou, and there was no Liu Bei.

And Kong Rong is a great Confucian who is well-known all over the world, and his self-cultivation has always been very good, and Liu Bei is also a gentleman who claims to be benevolent and righteous.

Moreover, the turmoil in Qingzhou spread to Beihai. Kong Rong was in need of Liu Bei, so why would he quarrel with Liu Bei?

But why did they act like they were arguing?Was it intentionally made for outsiders to see?

So since it is for outsiders to see, this outsider is Cao Cao from Yanzhou.

After careful scrutiny, Guo Jia suddenly felt a thump in his heart. The reason why Liu Bei did this was definitely to keep Cao Cao completely in Qingzhou.

However, it is an indisputable fact that he sent his soldiers back to Xuzhou, so where did his soldiers come from?Has the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou been appeased by Liu Bei?

But what ability does Liu Bei have to calm down the Yellow Turban Army so easily? !In other words, Liu Bei persuaded Zhang Yan to surrender.

Isn't the name of Cao Cao much louder than Liu Bei?Moreover, Yanzhou's strength is much stronger than that of Xuzhou. Zhang Yan has no reason to choose the near and the far, let's leave the strong and stay weak!

But there is no other explanation for the current situation, only this explanation can make sense.

That is, Liu Bei did not fall out with Kong Rong, so Liu Bei did not return to Xuzhou.

However, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Cao Cao so desperately, ignoring the court's call for security, it must be Zhang Yan who surrendered to Liu Bei.

After thinking everything through, Guo Jia not only blamed himself, but he underestimated Liu Bei.

Although I don't know what method Liu Bei used to recruit Zhang Yan, but this is the end of the matter.

He must not let Yanzhou fall into Liu Bei's hands again, and can only pray that Cao Cao escaped this catastrophe in Qingzhou.

Don't blame Guo Jia, Zhou Cang and Zhang Yan's friendship, even Liu Yu didn't think of it.

The gift originally prepared for Cao Cao actually helped Liu Bei invisibly.

And Zhou Cang, who has never been put in Liu Yu's eyes, unexpectedly gave Liu Yu such a big surprise.

……

Qingzhou Pingyuan County is in the westernmost part of Qingzhou, and Pingyuan City, the seat of Pingyuan County, is in the westernmost part of Pingyuan County.

Pingyuan City is next to Jizhou, and tens of miles westward from Pingyuan City is the territory of Anping State in Jizhou.

Since Cao Cao's defeat in Xipingchang, Zhang Yan led the Yellow Turban Army to chase and intercept Cao Cao.

Now, Zhang Yan has divided his troops into two groups and completely surrounded Pingyuan City.

Cao Cao stood at the head of the Pingyuan City, looking at the black Yellow Turban Army below the city, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

My lord trusted me so much, let him go to Yanzhou to develop, I didn't expect that I would be defeated by the Yellow Turban Army today.

Suddenly, Cao Cao gave a sudden pause, and his eyes rested on a person. Cao Cao felt that this person looked very familiar.

Afterwards, Cao Cao took a closer look. The person standing beside Zhang Yan on a horse was not Liu Bei, who else could it be?

Is it all because of this Liu Bei?Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help being angry and angry.

Unexpectedly, all of this was because of Liu Bei, the man who once hid behind Gongsun Zan to seek survival.

"Under the city is Liu Bei, Liu Xuande?!"

Liu Bei was at the bottom of the city, looking up at Cao Cao on the tower, not only his heart was ups and downs.

Once upon a time, Cao Cao was an existence that he looked up to. When the princes were begging for Dong, this Cao Cao was sitting beside the leader Yuan Shao.

As for himself, he was not even qualified to sit, and in the end he got a seat because of Liu Yu's words.

But now that he has led the army to this point, Liu Bei is the final winner.

Cao Cao has been driven to the end of his life by himself, and he doesn't need to hide anymore, because he will soon reap the fruits of victory.

Hearing Cao Cao's shouting on the tower, Liu Bei smiled slightly, patted his horse forward a few steps, and said to Cao Cao on the tower.

"Cao Mengde, long time no see! I didn't expect that since the last time we said goodbye, and now you and I meet again, it will be like this scene. It's really embarrassing!"

……

Chapter 390

Cao Cao on the tower also smiled slightly when he heard the words, not worried about his current situation at all.

"Liu Xuande, I, Cao Cao, are very curious. How did you easily subdue the Qingzhou Yellow Turban? Could it be that you are the Han family clan member who can't be far away, but you show off everywhere?"

When Liu Bei heard this, his face trembled, his face turned pale at first, and then turned red.

This sentence can make Liu Bei very angry, but the winner and the loser, as the winner, can't you let the loser have a good time?

"Brother Mengde, you don't have to humiliate me Liu Bei like this. You don't need to understand what I Liu Bei has done, and you don't need to understand my Liu Bei's ambition, but you can't veto it! What I do, I ask my heart No shame!"

"Oh! What a clear conscience!"

Cao Cao sneered when he heard this, and spoke again with a tone full of disdain.

"For the sake of reputation, you abandoned Gongsun Zan, who supported you all the way, and used your generals. You have a clear conscience?! In order to protect yourself, you abandoned your brother Liu Yu, Liu Bei, you have a clear conscience?!"

After Cao Cao said that, he looked at Liu Bei with disdain. You can be ambitious, but don't say it so grandiosely, it will be disgusting.

Cao Cao is the kind of fledgling person who is easy to fool?

And Cao Cao's words made the soldiers behind Liu Bei whisper to each other, looking at Liu Bei with strange eyes.

After Liu Bei felt this gaze, his expression changed, and he hurriedly retorted.

"Then Gongsun Zan joined forces with the Wuhuan aliens to attack the Han land and slaughtered the Han people. Is it possible that I, Liu Bei, will go the same way with him? And Bei left Youzhou and came to Xuzhou. He just came to Xuzhou to borrow troops. I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan broke through Ji County so quickly!"

"Hahaha……"

After Cao Cao heard this, he burst into laughter, which was full of sarcasm.

"Borrow troops?! Did you borrow the whole of Xuzhou? If I, Cao Cao, guessed correctly, as long as I drive Cao Cao out of Qingzhou, then Qingzhou will fall into your hands, right? Even Kong Rong from Beihai, Probably also your prisoner!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei quickly turned his eyes to Tai Shici who was at the side, and saw that his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking something, Liu Bei quickly defended himself.

"Kong Beihai is a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness. He has a close friendship with Liu Bei. How can I, Liu Bei, do such a treacherous thing?! Cao Mengde, don't you dare to disturb our army's morale again! I didn't expect that you, Cao Mengde, would do such a thing. Such a low-level strategy! It's ridiculous!"

Cao Cao sneered again when he heard the words, but he didn't talk to Liu Bei anymore, but looked at Zhang Yan beside Liu Bei.

"Zhang Yan, I, Cao Mengde, haven't figured it out until now. Why did you defect to Liu Bei! Liu Bei's reputation is not obvious. Although he bears the name of a Han family clan, compared to me, Cao Mengde, both fame and soldiers are weaker More than one! And there is also an imperial decree written by the emperor himself!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan had neither joy nor sorrow on his face, and said to Cao Cao in a flat tone.

"Without him, Zhou Cang'er!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart moved. Of course he knew Zhou Cang. When the princes were begging for Dong, Zhou Cang had fought against Hua Xiong alone, and he was quite brave.

Looking at Cao Cao's puzzled face, Zhang Yan explained again.

"I, Zhang Yan, didn't want to be a rootless duckweed at all, and Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and General Liao Hua are all friends of Yan! My lord also treated the former Yellow Turban troops kindly! Compared to you who once besieged the Yellow Turban Army to a desperate situation, The lord is the lord of benevolence and righteousness!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao figured everything out. He didn't expect that his defeat in Qingzhou was due to a Zhou Cang, which was really unpredictable.

But this also taught himself a lesson, in the future he will never underestimate anyone.

"Besieged to a desperate situation? Do you know that someone secretly manipulated you to survive until now, otherwise, there would have been no yellow scarves left in Qingzhou! And Zhang Jiao's daughter is now by his side! Whoever saved the most Yellow Turbans must be the one!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately widened her eyes, with an unbelievable look on her face. Obviously, Zhang Yan was extremely shocked at this moment.

Seeing this, Liu Bei secretly said, "Oops!" He immediately said to Zhang Yan.

"Don't listen to Cao Mengde's nonsense. Your saint Zhang Ning was taken hostage by several Qu Shuai when the Yellow Turban surrendered, and was brutally killed in the end! This is what Bei saw with his own eyes, how can it be fake?!"

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered, she lowered her head in thought for a moment, then sighed, and then said nothing.

Zhang Yan believed Cao Cao's words, because everything Cao Cao said was possible.

As long as that big man is involved, everything is possible, but Zhang Yan doesn't believe what Liu Bei said.

But now, what is the use of him believing or not believing?

I have already recognized Liu Bei as the master, and all the wandering Yellow Turban soldiers have also been taken under Liu Bei's command. Zhang Yan can only bite the bullet and go all the way.

Seeing this, Chen Deng, who was beside Liu Bei, gave Liu Bei a wink. Seeing this, Liu Bei immediately understood, and decided not to say more, but chose to attack the city directly.

There are 20 Yellow Turban soldiers, and the daily consumption of food and grass is unimaginable for ordinary people. Beihai alone cannot afford to support these people.

Food and grass can only be transported from Xuzhou, but the battlefield is in the west of Qingzhou, and the road is far away. Although Xuzhou is rich, it cannot withstand long-term consumption.

Therefore, this battle should be ended as soon as possible, otherwise even if it is subdued, Qingzhou will drag down Xuzhou!

Liu Bei turned his head and nodded to Tai Shici and Zhang Yan. Seeing this, the two immediately commanded the troops behind them to attack Pingyuan City.

Due to the rush of time, they did not have siege engines, only improvised and crude siege ladders.

But they win in numbers. After Cao Cao's last defeat, the remaining troops are less than [-], but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Cao Cao will not give up.

Now that he is in a desperate situation, he believes that his master will never sit idly by. Cao Cao and Liu Yu are monarchs and ministers but they seem to be friends.

However, everything must be in the interests of Liu Yu, and he also knows the importance of being in Yanzhou.

He was defeated and died, and his eldest son Cao Ang was in Yanzhou, and most of his generals and advisers were in Yanzhou, and the emperor was also in Yanzhou. With them, Yanzhou would not change hands.

He was ready to die in battle. If Liu Yu didn't come to support him, then he wouldn't blame Liu Yu.

But now all of this is because he underestimated the enemy and underestimated Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei is somewhat hypocritical, he is indeed a character and a difficult opponent.

Looking at the blackness below the city, Cao Cao murmured calmly as the Yellow Turban Army followed one after another.

"Go ahead and attack! It's not that easy to kill me Cao Cao! Even if I take Cao Cao's head in the end, I will smash your teeth!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao turned his eyes to Cao Hong who was beside him, and said lightly.

"Zi Lian, command and defend the city!"

When Cao Hong heard this, he bowed his hands to Cao Cao with a solemn face, and assured him.

"My lord, don't worry, as long as I, Cao Hong, is around, he, Liu Bei, won't be able to attack Pingyuan City!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled slightly, reached out and patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, and said in his mouth.

"Do your best!"

……

Chapter 391

A few days later, at dusk, Cao Cao stood on the top of Pingyuan City again.

I saw that Cao Cao's hair was a little messy at this time, and the armor on his body was no longer clean and tidy.

His face was also full of exhaustion. Looking down the city, he saw that the ground below the city was covered with black and red colors.

The red color is the blood of Liu Beijun's soldiers. After being exposed to the sun, the blood has solidified.

The black ground was the blood of Liu Beijun's soldiers during the siege a few days ago. Now it has turned black, and it still emits an unpleasant stench.

Several days of battles exhausted Cao Cao physically and mentally. Today, his army has shrunk to less than [-].

As for Liu Beijun, there are still 15 soldiers and horses. Now, Cao Cao has reached the end of his life, and the city will be broken within two days.

The three generals Cao Hong, Xu Chu, and Xia Houyuan standing beside him also had worried expressions on their faces.

"My lord, since Feng Xiao didn't come to support, he must have been restrained, and there will be no reinforcements coming here. Let's break through! Just break out and go west to Jizhou. Forgive him and Liu Bei will not dare to pursue Jizhou!"

After Cao Hong finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao eagerly. They had already decided that if Cao Cao refused, they would tie Cao Cao to a horse. They desperately broke through and sent Cao Cao to Jizhou.

And Chen Gong also took a step forward, and said to Cao Cao: "I can break through the siege, but I can't break out of Jizhou! Since we want to break out of Jizhou, there is no reason why Liu Bei can't think of it. They must have sent some troops to ambush on the road of Jizhou Come on, wait for our army to enter the urn!"

"Hahaha……"
