The teenager is very arrogant

Chapter 259 Breaking new ground!Yongzhou has been decided!

Zhao Xin led the boats, he could only temporarily stop chasing, but the wind was strong, the big boats couldn't hold on for a while, they collided with each other, seven or eight big boats were broken, and thousands of soldiers were injured.

Zhao Dao said, "This Cao Cao is shrewd, let him escape!"

Chen Gong said on the side: "My lord, since Cao Cao has gone, go to Yongzhou as soon as possible to accept the land, otherwise Ma Chao will take it all."

Xin Zhao nodded yes, the fleet turned around and headed west according to the plan. In the afternoon, they arrived at Xianyang, where the soldiers landed and set up camp.The soldiers and horses in Xianyang City were taken away by Yuan Shao in a hurry. The defenders were less than [-] people, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. The guard Jin Feiyang knew that he was not an opponent, so he opened the door and surrendered.

Xin Zhao entered the city smoothly, and went out to comfort the people, so he didn't mention it.

Half a month later, Cao Cao returned to Xudu and gathered his advisers to discuss the matter.

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Shao has been defeated, and Zhao Xin's momentum has also increased!"

Guo Jiadao: "My lord, although Yuan Shao was defeated and died, his son Yuan Shang is still alive, and he has Feng Ji and Xin Ping's assistants. The terrain of Sili is dangerous and there are many places where military force is useful. It will take at least three years for Zhao Xin to pacify Sili Yongzhou. In five years, and with Ma Chao still present, my lord can transfer troops and take Jingzhou."

Cao Cao didn't say yes or no, and said, "Feng Xiao continues."

Guo Jia held his hand and said: "My lord, Zhao Xin's victory over Yuan Shao has greatly increased his power. Now that he is fighting with him, the outcome is hard to tell, and the Yellow River is trapped in the center. It will take time and effort. Ma Chao came out from Xiliang, and Yuan Shao How can he not covet the land of Sili and Yongzhou? The land of Sili has Zhao Xin, Ma Chao, and Yuan Shang. The forces are complicated. Why should the lord intervene? .”

Cao Cao followed him, and after resting for ten days, he raised his army and came to Jingzhou.

In order to train younger generations, Cao Cao took his eldest son Cao Pi with him.Cao Pi, courtesy name Ziheng, was eighteen years old.It is said that when Cao Pi was born, there was a cloud of purple clouds on the roof, which was as round as a car cover and lingered all day long.An expert saw it and said that Cao Cao said: "This is also the spirit of the Son of Heaven."

When Cao Pi was eight years old, he was capable of both literary and martial arts, with talents, knowledgeable about the ancient and the present, good at riding and shooting, and good at fencing.

When he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao gathered his civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.Adviser Kuai Liang said: "Jingzhou soldiers are good at water warfare and can mediate with them on the river."

Liu Biao followed his words and sent a navy to meet the enemy at Yushui.

Besides, Zhao Xin was in Xianyang, and all the way to attack Xinping, the defenders of the city all watched the wind and surrendered.Although Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, had a shrewd mind, he had no generals to use, which was really embarrassing. Xin Ping and Feng Ji loyally assisted the young master, and resisted angrily in Xinping, their old nest.

Ma Chao from Xiliang led soldiers and horses from Shicheng. In less than half a year, he went to the fifteen cities in the three counties of Yongzhou.

Pang De said beside him: "Meng Qi, you can't go further, otherwise the general will not like it, and he will send troops to the west, what should we do?"

Ma Chao waved his hand, and said indifferently: "I asked the general to attack Yuan Shao together. He took the troubles, Chang'an, Xianyang and Xinping. I only took these small cities, which are nothing."

Pang De shouted: "Meng Qi!"

Pound had never spoken to Ma Chao in such a tone, and Ma Chao couldn't help being stunned.

Pang De said: "Meng Qi, at this time and at that time, the general has already defeated Yuan Shao, how could he allow me to take the land of Yongzhou from Xiliang? If so, why did the general send troops? This place is almost stable enough to directly threaten Beidi County, at that time, even if the general is not on guard, wouldn't the generals under his command be on guard?"

Ma Chao suddenly came to his senses and made a mistake, so he ordered no further entry.

Pang De added: "This is not enough. Meng Qi should imitate the great ancestor's allusion of attacking Xianyang to show his loyalty. The general will hand over the area west of Shicheng to Meng Qi to win over Meng Qi's heart."

"If he doesn't give it to me, what should I do?" Ma Chao said.

Pang De narrowed his eyes and said: "If he refuses, then we will surrender all the land we have gained to the general and lead our troops back to Xiliang."

"Why!" Ma Chao asked unwillingly.

Pang De stared into Ma Chao's eyes and said, "Meng Qi understands."

……

Moreover, Zhao Xin marched so fast that everyone expected. When Zhao Xin sent troops from Jinyang, he had only [-] or [-] troops. Now in Yongzhou, the number of troops and horses has increased to [-]. The strategy of using war to support war can be said to be It was completely eaten by Xin Zhao.

As Xin Zhao marched, he ordered that the newly acquired land be reduced by three levels!
You must know that due to Yuan Shao's active preparation for war, taxes have already risen to the point where it is difficult for the people to pay. The reduction of these three levels of taxes will win the cheers of people everywhere. With the public opinion rising, Yuan Shang's soldiers have little desire to fight.

After all, Yuan Shang is still young and has no prestige in the army. Most of the generals and soldiers under his command violated the law.In the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Shang is just a puppet, at the mercy of Xin Ping and Feng Ji.

Zhao Xin personally led the army to attack Xinping. How could Xinping City stop the titanium siege vehicles? Although Xin Ping and Feng Ji thought of many ways, they dug away all the soil outside the city, creating a huge pit several meters deep. , blocking the titanium siege vehicles from approaching the city gate.

But this method is nothing more than a desperate struggle.It took Zhao Xin's soldiers less than half a month to pack soil in cloth bags and use catapults to smash it into the pit. Slowly but not anxiously, they forced the defenders on the city to surrender.

Another half month passed, Xinping City was broken, Feng Ji died in the chaos of war, Xin Ping was protecting Yuan Shang and Yuan's family was captured by Gao Shun.

Xinping has been decided, and after six months and seven days of fighting, half of Yongzhou has been captured. Zhao Xin asked Chen Gongdao: "Gongtai, how is Ma Chao doing these days?"

Chen Gongdao: "Information from Shangguan Tower shows that after Ma Chao captured Shicheng, he led his troops to withdraw and did not take the city and rule it."

Zhao Xin chuckled, knowing what Ma Chao was thinking, and said: "This Meng Qi also has some eyesight."

Chen Gongdao: "My lord, Yongzhou has been settled, we can't let Xiliang get well alone."

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "Xiliang is not comparable to the Central Plains. Most of its soldiers are good at riding, brave and good at fighting. The whole people are soldiers, and it cannot be ruled by General Fubo. I have ordered that all the land west of Shicheng be worshiped by Ma Chao. "

"promise."

Ma Chao got Zhao Xin's handwriting, was overjoyed, and had fun with Pang De.

Pang De said: "This is the general's plan to make friends with Meng Qi."

"It's natural. If he doesn't make friends with me, isn't he afraid that I will attack his backyard? Haha!" Ma Chao laughed wildly, and Pang De smiled, didn't say much, just watched quietly.

In the newly acquired land of Yongzhou, a lot of things are waiting for Zhao Xin to deal with. Zhao Xin is busy with Chen Gong and Li Ru when Zhou Cang walks in outside and cups his hands, saying, "My lord, Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Ji has been found."

Zhen Ji, Zhen Mi (sounds the same as 'Fu'), Yuan Xi's wife.Zhen Mi lost her father at the age of three.In the mid-Jian'an period, Yuan Shao married his second son, Yuan Xinazhi.After the First World War in Jizhou, Yuan Xi was captured, and the Zhen family stayed in Yongzhou to serve Yuan Shao's wife, the Liu family.

Xin Zhao did not forget this beauty, after killing Yuan Shao, Xin Zhao ordered Zhou Cang to secretly inquire about Zhen Mi's whereabouts.After Yuan Shao's death in battle, the young and old in his family knew that Yuan Shangding was not Zhao Xin's opponent, so they left each other and flew like birds and beasts, so they lost Zhen Mi's movement.

"Where can I find Zhen Mi?" Zhao Xin asked.

Zhou Cang said: "In a small village in the north of Xinping, if it wasn't for a hunter who came to talk about seeing the goddess, Cang would not be able to capture him."

Xin Zhao chuckled, just kidding, the woman Cao Zhi admired with Luoshen Fu, is purple-looking mortal? "Where are you at this time?"

Zhou Cang said: "Several concubines with Yuan Shao have been sent to the inner courtyard of Xinping City."
