Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 256

After Cao Cao entered Jiyang, he also breathed a sigh of relief.He has experienced many defeats, and many times his life has been threatened.When he defeated Dong, he almost didn't kill him; when he attacked Lu Bu, he also fought head-on with Lu Bu; when Wancheng was defeated, he almost died at the hands of Zhang Xiu.

So Cao Cao recovered quickly. The defeat in this battle was not big, but the loss was still great.There are less than [-] soldiers left, and the rest of the soldiers should have either died in battle or been captured or fled.Moreover, a lot of weapons and equipment were lost, because Cao Cao and the others returned empty-handed, throwing away everything they could throw away.

However, Cao Cao was also very relieved, because this time Yu Jin performed very well. If it hadn't been for Yu Jin in the end, Cao Cao would not have escaped to Jiyang so easily.

Cao Cao looked at Ban with admiration, and Li Jing also praised Ban.

"Who is the enemy general at the back of the palace?" Gao Changgong said: "The four of us tried several times, but he repelled us all."

"Yu Jin!" Shang Master and Apprentice said: "Yu Jin is a person that the lord admires very much. The lord has fought against him many times, and he said that in a grand duel, few people can defeat Yu Jin."

"So strong?" Wang Yanzhang also said suspiciously: "It's not a hundred battles if it's too forbidden!"

Li Jing explained: "When the lord talked about this majestic formation, he said that with the same force and the same combat power of soldiers, under the same conditions, few people can defeat Yu Jin. However, Yu Jin has never fought under the same circumstances. , His soldiers are too weak to fight with us. Yesterday's battle, if he hadn't commanded it in time, he wouldn't have brought you here. Several times it was dangerous and dangerous. He mobilized archers to shoot you back .”

Qin Qiong said: "That's true. If Cao Cao will stay in Nanyang, wouldn't it be very difficult for us to take Wancheng?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "It was not easy at first. Compared with Cao Cao, our current strength is actually still far behind."

"There is a gap?" The four of them looked at Li Jing blankly, and they all said: Are you wrong?

"There is indeed a gap!" Li Jing said: "Let's take a look at the places we occupy. Although Jingyang and Yangzhou have a large area, they are sparsely populated. Even if some places in Xuzhou are added, the population is still limited. Let's look at Cao Cao, Sili , Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Qingyou and the three states are also in his pocket, the land of eight states! Is it scary?"

The four of them couldn't help but fight a cold war, it was terrible!It's really scary!Yashu!Moreover, it is the eight states in the north. Usually, the population of a state is larger than that of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.There is no need to say other reasons, just this one reason is enough!
Li Jing said: "You only know that our soldiers are stronger than Cao Cao, so you think we are stronger than Cao Cao. In fact, this is the illusion given to you by the lord! Every step of the lord's design in the past few years has weakened Cao Cao. Think about it, the lord is in Xuzhou. How many people were plundered, and how many people were plundered in Jizhou?"

Everyone thought about it. Although they didn't know the exact number, it was indeed quite a lot. If it wasn't a million, there would be hundreds of thousands.

According to the previous idea, Cao Cao appointed Yu Jin as the prefect of Nanyang. Now that Nanyang is too dangerous, Cao Cao naturally wants to give Yu Jin a higher official position so that he can handle Nanyang affairs with full authority.After that, Li Dian and Li Tong were left to Yu Jin, and Yu Jin's [-] soldiers and horses were left.Cao Cao returned to Xuchang by himself, and he wanted to go back to hold a decent funeral for Xiahou Dun.

This time Cao Cao supported Nanyang can be said to have lost, really lost!Not only did he fail to rescue Xiangyang, nor did he win any land in Jingzhou, he also lost the general Xiahou Dun, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and countless supplies and weapons.

After Yu Jin stayed at Nanyang, he took a defensive stance, ordered Li Dian to guard Nieyang, and Li Tong said to Jiyang, each with 3000 people and a lot of supplies. for aid.

Li Jing was not idle either. He sat in Xinye and ordered Qin Qiong to lead 3000 people to guard Yuyang.Ling Shang mastered Huyang, Xiangxiang, Zhangling, and Suixian, and then went north to Biyang to plunder the areas of Wuyin and Duyang Bowang.Order Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang to go west, Wang Yanzhang attacked Rang County, Champion, Shunyang, Nanxiang, Danshui, and then plundered Xi County and Li State; Gao Changgong went to Chaoyang, Deng County, Shandu, Zhuyang, Yin County, Feng County, Wudang.

Gao Changgong settled in Wudang, looking for a way to enter Hanzhong, and then waited for the opportunity to be like Hanzhong.

Zhang Yi planned to attack Sichuan in two ways, or even in three ways.One way is along the river Shuiba County, the other way is along the Han River such as Hanzhong, if possible, there is another way from Jiaozhou such as Nanzhong.However, these three roads are not easy to walk, and the two roads to the north are mountain roads, which are difficult to walk.The South Road is deep in the mountains and old forests, the road is hard to find, and it is full of miasma, making it even more difficult to walk.

With an unknown tacit understanding, Li Jing and Yu Jin divided up Nanyang County.It can also be said that under tacit understanding, Zhang Yi and Cao Cao made a concession, and neither of them wanted to fight anymore.Cao Cao wants to cultivate himself, and then calm down the north as soon as possible, and then have a showdown with Zhang Yi.And there are too many battlefields on Zhang Yi's side. Nanyang is fighting, Nanjun is also fighting, and the four counties of Jingnan are also fighting. If Zhang Yi hadn't accumulated enough in the past few years, how could he support seven or eight battlefields?

So Zhang Yi also hopes to calm down Jingzhou as soon as possible, and then digest it well.

The first to stop was not the tacit Nanyang battlefield, but Nanjun.There are not many counties in South County. Zhang Yi went north and Li Jing went west and already took most of the counties. When Zhang Yi surrounded Xiangyang, he also won a lot.There are only Huarong County in the north of Yunmengze, and Wu County and Yushan in the west of Zigui.

Huarong County is easy to recover, as long as it goes down the Han River, but Wu County is too remote.Fortunately, Zigui has already been taken. Liu Heitao arrived in Zigui, and then went to Wu County, and finally took down the last county in Nanjun.Taking Wuxian will take the road to Yizhou, because it is not far from Wuxian, which is Yufu County in Berkshire.Yishan asked Li Bao to follow Yishui, a tributary of the river, and took down Yishan.

Zhang Yi left Pang Tong to Di Qing, assigned Pang Ji, Pang Shanmin, and Ma Liang to Di Qing, transferred Li Shanchang to Li Jing, and assigned Li Jing to Xu Shu and Li Yan.He also appointed Hua Xin as the prefect of Changsha, Lu Dai as the prefect of Wuling, Lu Fan as the prefect of Lingling, Quan Rou as the prefect of Guiyang, and Yu Fan as the prefect of Cangwu.Lu Su was appointed the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Shouren was the prefect of Kuaiji, Di Renjie was the prefect of Lujiang, and Zhang Yi transferred Mi Zhu, Xu Xiake, Wang Xuanmo, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Gui Lan, Dai Yuan and others to Lu Su to form the governor's office.

As for these talents in Jingzhou, he plans to go to Shouchun later and release them after some training. Without knowing the policy, there is no way to govern.
