The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 510 Yu Ban Surrenders, Cheng Yu Dies

When the Wei army saw Chu King Zhang Wu personally going to battle, they suddenly felt inexplicable nervousness.Zhang Wu was not only the king of Chu, but also the king of a country and an invincible general.Now that he is going into battle in person, he is determined to win!
The generals of the Chu army rushed forward desperately, as if they had been spat with chicken blood, trying to tear everything in front of them to pieces!
Zhang Wu took the lead, followed by Xing Daorong who was in charge of the flag, followed by Zhao Yun and Chen Dao on the left and right, and then Zhang Wu activated the "Wushuang" skill and then the "Stealth" skill.With the blessing of his command attribute points and skills, the [-] cavalry around him suddenly felt a powerful force emerging from them, and even the men and horses seemed to have become much more flexible.

Cao Xiu and Wang Shuang couldn't stop Zhang Wu, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao at all. Wang Shuang really thought he was brave enough to be undeserved, and he had never seen how powerful Zhang Wu was, so he wanted to kill Zhang Wu himself on the battlefield. He made great achievements, but in the end he was cut down by the unparalleled Zhang Wu.

The Chu army's cavalry won a great victory, and then outflanked the Wei army's infantry. Xu Shu, who was sitting behind and commanding the army, saw this and raised his flag, and the Chu army's infantry also attacked in full.

In 218 A.D., the two sides of Wei and Chu fought a decisive battle in Guanzhong. Zhang Wu, the king of Chu, personally led the cavalry to charge. First, he defeated the main cavalry of the Wei army. wait.Cao Zhang, a general of the royal clan of Wei State, was unable to escape due to serious injuries, and was also captured by Zhang Wu. Advisors Cheng Yu, Wang Lang and others were also captured alive by the Chu army amidst the chaos.

30 troops of the Wei army died in battle, and more than [-] surrendered. Cao Ren led the defeated army to retreat to Tongguan, and Guanzhong fell into Zhang Wu's hands. The connection between Liangzhou and Luoyang was completely cut off.

After taking down Chang'an, Zhang Wu did not continue to march. Firstly, it was because winter was coming, and most of the soldiers of the Chu army were from the south, who were not used to fighting in the cold winter; secondly, because Tongguan was harder to fight than Chang'an.

Tongguan is located in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, at the center of the three provinces of Qin, Jin and Henan. It borders the Yellow River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south. One car and one horse are allowed.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao began to build Tongguan in the first year of Jian'an to prevent the military chaos in Guanxi, and at the same time abandoned Hangu Pass as the east gate of the Guanzhong Plain. Later, Cao Cao fought Ma Chao and Han Sui in Tongguan.

Although Chang'an City is a super big city, there is no danger around it to defend. As long as the army enters the Guanzhong Plain, they can directly attack the city. If you dare not go out of the city to fight in the field or if you can't win in the field, the city will not be defended.

There are dangerous places on all sides of Tongguan, and the Chu army can't surround it, so they can only attack from the front.Although Cao Ren was defeated, he still had an army of 10,000+ in his hands, and there was support from Luoyang and the Central Plains behind him, which was enough to defend against danger.

What made the Chu army even more depressed was that Tongguan was located in the Qinling Mountains, so it was impossible to dig tunnels to bury explosives. The road in front of the pass was narrow, and even with a large number of defenders, it was impossible to send people to dig holes under the pass wall.

Zhang Wu ordered the army to repair in Chang'an, digest the newly occupied territory at the same time, and deal with the captured generals and soldiers of the Wei army.

Cao Zhang was seriously injured and died in Chang'an City.In the confrontation of heavy cavalry, even if there are no external injuries such as knife wounds or arrow wounds on the body, it is very likely that the internal organs will be seriously damaged. This kind of injury is difficult to heal in this era.As long as the general trauma does not damage the internal organs, and the wound is treated well to prevent infection, there is still a high chance of survival. In the worst case, the limb will be amputated!
Ma Chao and Pang De were also injured, but not as seriously as Cao Zhang.

As Zhang Wu expected, Yu Jin, who was captured by Zhang Wu for the second time, chose to surrender. This surprised many people, because everyone knew that Yu Jin was the number one general of the Cao family and had always been the most loyal to the Cao family. The official position is also the highest among the generals with foreign surnames, and Yu Jin is not young. The whole family is in Luoyang. How can such a person surrender?
But Zhang Wu knew that Yu Jin was more afraid of death as he got older. What's more, the situation of Cao Wei is worse than the situation when the seven armies were flooded in history. The current state of Chu is stronger than the combined state of Shu and Wu in history. After Guanzhong fell into the hands of Chu, the initiative of the war was completely in the hands of the Chu army.

If there are no major changes, this world will most likely fall into Zhang Wu's hands in the end.

So Yu Jin chose to surrender.

Although Zhang Wu was not ashamed of Jin's conduct, in order to set an example for others, he still treated Yu Jin kindly.Of course, it's just a false job, without any real power.

For the others, Zhang Wu also asked if they were willing to surrender. Zhang Wu who was willing to surrender would not be treated wrongly, and those who were unwilling to surrender would be temporarily imprisoned.As for Cheng Yu, Zhang Wu didn't even ask, because he knew that it was impossible for a diehard fan of Cao Cao to surrender, and Zhang Wu had said before that everyone else could survive after being captured, except Cheng Yu. .

Cheng Yu certainly remembered what Zhang Wu said in Xiangyang back then, but he was not afraid of death, especially dying for the Cao family was what he was after.Besides, Cheng Yu is 77 years old this year, so what else is there to miss.

Cheng Yu was one of Cao Cao's most important advisers back then, and also Cao Cao's most trusted adviser. He held important positions for a long time and led troops in battle many times. Therefore, all the officials and people in the northern states and counties knew Cheng Yu's name. Now I heard that Zhang Wu They wanted to execute Cheng Yu with their own hands, and they all came to wait and see.

In front of all civil and military officials in the city and the people of the aristocratic family, Zhang Wu finally asked: "Cheng Zhongde, what else do you have to say?"

Cheng Yu's face was expressionless, his beard and hair fluttering in the cold wind, as if he was looking back on his life, and then said: "I have no shame in my heart!"

Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu, you are worthy of yourself and the Cao family, but you are worthy of the common people who you regard as military food."

Cheng Yu said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. For the sake of peace in the world, it doesn't matter even if some people are sacrificed! Haven't you, Zhang Wu, killed too few people over the years?"

"Hmph! The big things you call are nothing more than personal desires and ambitions. Have you ever really thought about the people of the world? Although I, Zhang Wu, have killed countless people, I have never killed innocent people indiscriminately; although I have fought endlessly, I can The people under the rule live a good life. Cheng Zhongde, have you and the Cao family you are loyal to achieved it?"

Cheng Yu didn't speak, because Zhang Wu was telling the truth. This point had to be admitted. Zhang Wu had never committed a crime of killing prisoners or massacring cities. The people in the south were indeed better off than those in the north. The title of the current saint.Cheng Yu, as the top figure in Wei State's power, has been in charge of the intelligence department for a long time, so he knows these things very clearly, so he has nothing to say.

To be honest, Cheng Yu also admired Zhang Wu very much in his heart. From a commoner-born thief to today's king of Chu, he will also be the person who is most likely to rule the world in the future. He also has the name of benevolence and righteousness. How many people can there be?

But Cheng Yu is the Cao family's diehard loyalist, no matter how wise and great Zhang Wu is, he can only serve the Cao family with allegiance and death.

Looking at this old man who was nearly eighty years old, Zhang Wu felt very sorry. This kind of person is talented and loyal. He dedicated his life to the Cao family. This kind of spirit is worthy of admiration.But the enemy's loyal minister is my enemy, not to mention what Cheng Yu has done has exceeded Zhang Wu's bottom line, killing people is fine, but cannibalism is not!

"Eating people is no different from beasts! Today, I will seek justice for those people who were eaten by you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu raised the saber in his hand and cut off Cheng Yu's head in the audience.

All the people around said in unison: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty!"
