The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Although Cao Cao followed Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others to engage in activities on the side of the Qing emperor, in Cao Cao's heart, he was finally a member of the Han court, and he didn't really want to push himself into the identity of a rebel. What's the difference between fighting against such a rebel?

Cao Cao, who was suffering in his heart, remained silent, while Zhang Miao looked at Cao Cao with an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

"Brother Mengde, this matter is not trivial, you should think about it first, and don't rush to answer me."

Seeing that Cao Cao has not agreed, Zhang Miao also knows that Cao Cao has scruples in his heart, so it is useless to persecute Cao Cao all the time here, so Zhang Miao simply stopped asking Cao Cao. Anyway, what he is going to do does not necessarily require Cao Cao to participate. The soldiers and horses under him are enough to deal with Liu Dai.

At that time, when he kills Liu Dai, he will naturally push Cao Cao into the same boat as him.

At that time, Cao Cao had no choice but to refuse.

The conversation between the two ended without any result.

But after Cao Cao went back, Zhang Miao made a decision that night.

He asked his younger brother Zhang Chao to lead [-] soldiers and horses to surround Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai's camp at night, and set fire to the outside of the camp, and burned the camp to the ground. Kill anyone who runs out of it directly.

A fiery battle started here.

Liu Zheng, who was tens of miles away, could vaguely see some flames in the sky, which was the light reflected by the atmosphere.

The camp of Liu Dai's army.

The fact that Zhang Miao led people to besiege the camp had already been discovered by Liu Dai's troops.

Although Liu Dai's men noticed Zhang Miao's actions, they did not question Zhang Miao.Instead, he was waiting for Liu Dai's response, after all, the disparity between the two sides' soldiers and horses was too great.Once Liu Dai's men take the initiative to attack Zhang Miao, they must suffer.

"My lord, something is wrong. Zhang Miao and his men surrounded our camp. It seems that those who come here are not good!"

Cheng Yu and several generals under Liu Dai hurried to the camp, found Liu Dai and wanted to describe Zhang Miao's behavior to Liu Dai at this time.

Liu Dai just lay down, and after being called up by the soldiers to tell the news, he also had a serious face.

"What does Zhang Miao want to do? Is he going to rebel?"

In fact, Liu Dai was shocked when he heard the news.He didn't understand why it was Zhang Miao who came here. It stands to reason that he was in the camp just now, and it should be Cao Cao who offended him. Even if he came, it should be Cao Cao who sent people to surround his camp.

But he didn't expect that it was Zhang Miao who came.

"My lord, Zhang Miao didn't come here with kindness. He surrounded our camp indiscriminately and sent people to start lighting it up. I think he wanted to harm us. My lord, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the army is not in chaos. Break out from behind!"

Cheng Yu could see clearly and was able to grasp the whole situation in his heart, so he had already guessed what Zhang Miao wanted to do. If he didn't leave as soon as possible at this time, it would be an extremely unfavorable situation waiting for them.

Liu Dai couldn't believe what Cheng Yu said. After all, he was an important member of the imperial court, the state shepherd of Yanzhou. With such a highly respected position, how could a little eunuch like Zhang Miao be able to frighten him? Could it be that Zhang Miao really dared to frighten him? kill him.

Liu Dai was just too confident and didn't think Zhang Miao would kill him.So he didn't follow Cheng Yu's suggestion.

"Don't worry, Zhang Miao doesn't dare to mess around, you stay here, I'll go out to see what happened, and ask Zhang Miao what he wants to do!"

Liu Dai immediately walked out of his camp.

Cheng Yu watched Liu Dai leave from here, he just sighed and didn't say much.

Since Liu Dai didn't want to leave, Cheng Yu didn't want to stay here and wait to die, so as soon as Liu Dai left, he fled from the back of the camp with his relatives.

But Liu Dai had just led people out of the big camp to the place where the two armies were facing each other, but he didn't even meet Zhang Miao, so he was ordered by Zhang Miao to shoot arrows immediately.

Rockets shot up into the sky and landed directly in Liu Dai's camp, and the flames ignited.

Panicked, Liu Dai had no time to react.Although it escaped the first round of rocket attacks, it still failed to escape in this battle.

It was discovered by Zhang Miao's men, and then became the target of heavy attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers flocked to Liu Dai's position. It was precisely this that gave Cheng Yu and others the possibility to escape.

After a fight, Liu Dai was directly killed in this attack.

Zhang Miao also followed his own words and killed all the remaining soldiers and horses in Liu Dai's camp.And pretended to be killed in a fire.

On the other side of Cao Cao's camp, he also got the news that Zhang Miao sent people to Liu Dai's camp.

"My lord, that guy Zhang Miao led his troops to surround Liu Dai's camp. It seems that he wants to keep all Liu Dai's people here."

When Cao Cao heard that his clan brother came to report the news, his expression became even more ugly.

"Zhang Mengzhuo, Zhang Mengzhuo. He still made a choice, and immediately informed him that we left here overnight and returned to Yanzhou."

Cao Cao didn't want to become a traitor like Zhang Miao, so leaving here was his best choice.

Chapter 467 The Embarrassed Yuan Shu

Liu Zheng didn't know what happened outside Shouchun City at this time.

After retreating from outside Shouchun City with his own troops, he returned to his camp fifty miles away from Shouchun.

Not long after he returned, Huang Zhong also brought people back.

Seeing Huang Zhong, Liu Zheng was very excited. At least he knew that there was no big change in Huang Zhong's side. As long as Huang Zhong can come back, it doesn't matter what Huang Zhong and the others do.

After seeing Huang Zhong, Liu Zheng immediately asked about the situation in Shouchun City.

Huang Zhong also quickly killed Liu Dai's troops and then calmly withdrew from Shouchun City. He also told Liu Zheng about Yuan Shu.

This guy Yuan Shu went out to fight Cao Jun. Although Huang Zhong didn't go all the way with him, the direction he broke through was the location of Liu Zheng's camp.

Therefore, Huang Zhong guessed that if Yuan Shuzheng led people to break out of Shouchun City, they would definitely come in the direction of Liu Zheng.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng immediately sent someone to look for Yuan Shu's trace.

Sure enough, after only two hours of searching, they found Yuan Shu's trace.

After all, Yuan Shu also ran to the south, and the nearest camp to the south was Liu Zheng's camp. In addition, when Yuan Shu fled, he was not the only one by his side, but also thousands of remnants of soldiers who followed him.

The more people there are, the more commotion there will be. Naturally, Yuan Shu can be found easily.

When Liu Zheng sent someone to talk to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, who had nowhere to go, obviously went to Liu Zheng's camp.

Not long after, Liu Zheng met Yuan Shu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, in his camp.

Yuan Shu at this time was completely different from what Liu Zheng saw last time when he was in Lujiang.

At that time in Lujiang, Yuan Shu still had a high-spirited look on his face, but now, he was standing in front of Liu Zheng with a sad face, a messy body and disheveled clothes.

I'm afraid that the battle of Shouchun this time scared Yuan Shu, who grew up in a wealthy family, very much.

After all, this time was the closest he was to death.

"Brother Liu."

When Yuan Shu saw Liu Zheng, he reluctantly adjusted his clothes, and then politely greeted Liu Zheng.

"Brother Yuan, you are really serious. Why did you escape from Shouchun? You didn't come to me, and you asked me to send someone to invite you."

Liu Zheng pretended to be polite, acting as if he knew Yuan Shu very well.

In fact, Yuan Shu's heart is also suffering. The friendship between him and Liu Zheng really hasn't reached this level.

Although the matter of besieging Huainan was settled, most of Huainan was captured by Yuan Shu himself, and it had nothing to do with Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng and Yuan Shu didn't know about it. They came outside Shouchun City to fight against Liu Dai. The troops of Cao Cao and others are Liu Zheng's troops.

Although he already knew that some people were dealing with Liu Dai and others, those people were far away from the city tower, and they couldn't see the flag clearly, so it was not clear that these people were Liu Zheng.

It was only after he escaped that he met the people sent by Liu Zheng to look for Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu realized that the reason why he was able to escape from Shouchun City was thanks to Liu Zheng's help.

Without Liu Zheng's restraint, I'm afraid that with 2 people, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky if he wanted to escape from the heavily surrounded Shouchun City.

"It's just a coincidence that when Yang Hong was at my place, I just promised him to support your act of proclaiming the emperor. As a result, within two days, Liu Dai and Cao Cao led troops and horses to attack I thought about your news, since we are allies, naturally we can't watch you being beaten by them, right? I'll bring someone over to help you here, who knows, halfway, I was beaten by Cao Cao and Liu Dai Waiting for someone's soldiers and horses to stop it."

"After a bloody battle, I lost my little centaur, but even so, I still stayed and led people, disrupting Liu Dai's marching plan. This time, Brother Yuan, you can be rescued from Shouchun City , it is not in vain that I have spent so long thinking about it."

In fact, Liu Zheng came here to save Yuan Shu only incidentally. His main purpose was to consume the strength of Liu Dai and others. Now that Yuan Shu has escaped by himself, of course Liu Zheng will take the credit for this credit. Yuan Shu thanked himself.

Yuan Shu burst into tears after hearing Liu Zheng's evocative description.

With excitement on his face, he looked at Liu Zheng.

"Brother Liu still speaks of loyalty. Brother Liu's actions are more righteous than Yuntian. I, Yuan Shu, will definitely remember it in my heart. Thank you for your kindness!"

Yuan Shu was really grateful for Liu Zheng's actions this time, and was even a little moved in his heart.

After all, he never sent anyone to ask Liu Zheng for help. It was Liu Zheng's own intention that Liu Zheng came to support him, and if Liu Zheng hadn't come to help him, he would definitely die in Shouchun this time.

That is to say, this time Yuan Shu escaped too hastily and did not bring anything, otherwise Yuan Shu must thank Liu Zheng this time.

"Brother Yuan must be still hungry on this journey. Come on, I'll ask the people below to prepare a table of food. Let's chat while drinking."

Liu Zheng received Yuan Shu and asked Yuan Shu to stay with him temporarily to discuss matters related to Shouchun.

Although Liu Zheng looks down on Yuan Shu, at any rate, Yuan Shu still has thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he has not yet fully claimed the title of emperor, just for this reason, with the help of Yuan Shu, Liu Zheng can still win over some people, at least , the Yuan family in Runan can be used by Liu Zheng.

There are many people who have good friends with Yuan's four generations and three generations.

The reason why Liu Zheng must win over Yuan Shu is that Liu Zheng wants Yuan Zhou to become a child of the Yuan family, or even take over the Yuan family, so as to bring Liu Zheng some talent support.

While marching outside, Liu Zheng's subordinates didn't have too much food. It was nothing more than some simple side dishes and a few bottles of water and wine. However, for Yuan Shu who had been hungry for a long time, he was not qualified to choose. Chatted with Liu Zheng why Cao Cao and Zhang Miao joined forces with Liu Dai to attack him.

It turned out that Yuan Shu had already learned that Cao Cao and Zhang Miao had been recruited by the court through his own news.

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao became members of the court again, and only then were they able to join forces with Liu Dai.

Liu Zheng was surprised by Yuan Shu's news, but he was only slightly surprised, because even if Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were recruited again, with Liu Zheng's divorce plan, they would definitely break up.

Chapter 468 The Wrathful News

The banquet between Yuan Shu and Liu Zheng just ended not long ago.

Sure enough, fire came from the direction of Shouchun, and the spies dispatched below quickly told Liu Zheng the news of the fire outside Shouchun City.

Although Liu Zheng knew that something must have happened in the direction of Shouchun City, his meticulous operations had not fully penetrated into Cao Cao's army and Liu Dai's army, and he did not know what happened.

However, Liu Zheng knows that there will be no fires outside Shouchun City for no reason. Something must have happened, and what happened in detail. When the spies find out the news tomorrow morning, Liu Zheng will naturally understand. .

Day two.

The news that happened outside Shouchun City basically reached Liu Zheng's ears one by one.

Liu Zheng also knew about Shouchun's situation.

Cao Cao took advantage of the night and directly led his troops to leave Shouchun and return to Yanzhou.Zhang Miao directly destroyed Liu Dai, occupied Shouchun City, and in the middle of the night, he also brought people back to Yanzhou, intending to take the opportunity to occupy Yanzhou.

The current Shouchun has been occupied by Zhang Miao. Although Zhang Miao left, he only left behind his younger brother Zhang Chao, who led [-] troops to garrison Shouchun.

At the same time, I went back to Yanzhou by myself and started to take Yanzhou into my own hands.

After the news came out, Liu Zheng was greatly surprised.Not only Liu Zheng was surprised, but Yuan Shu, who was taking a short rest in Liu Zheng's barracks, was also extremely surprised.

Because he only left Shouchun on the front foot, those people who besieged Shouchun on the back foot actually broke out in a big battle.

When Liu Zheng used the divorce plan before, he also thought about it. What he thought was that Cao Cao, an ambitious man, would definitely seize the opportunity to start a series of acquisitions of Liu Dai's people and territory.

But what Liu Zheng didn't expect at all was that it was Zhang Miao, not Cao Cao, who did the killing of Liu Dai, the Yanzhou shepherd.

Zhang Miao, who was not particularly famous in history, unexpectedly caught Liu Zhengao's attention all of a sudden.

He recalled again what he knew about Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao was one of the feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was originally the prefect of Chenliu. Historically, the most important reason why he was famous was to support Cao Cao.

Because Cao Cao fled to Chenliu after failing to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Zhang Miao ordered his subordinate Wei Zi to fund Cao Cao's army and let Cao Cao recruit the first batch of troops in Chenliu.

Although a man named Wei Zi funded Cao Cao, most of the money should have come from Zhang Miao.

In addition to the position of Chenliu's prefect, Zhang Miao's family was also very rich, and he was listed as one of the eight chefs in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The eight chefs are the eight people who donate money and give generously!

Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou who raised troops in Jizhou before and supported the little emperor Liu Bian, was one of the eight chefs.

Zhang Miao sponsored Cao Cao to start a business and was friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but he offended Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the end, betrayed Cao Cao, and died at the hands of Cao Cao.

There are not many deeds about him in history, but he is still somewhat famous.

Now that Zhang Miao has successfully killed Liu Dai, I am afraid that Yanzhou will fall into Zhang Miao's hands sooner or later, but I don't know how Cao Cao will feel.

Of course, such a big thing happened, which was exactly what Liu Zheng wanted to see.

After all, he worked so hard to disband the alliance of Liu Dai, Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao.

Although Zhang Miao did these things now, it happened to be in line with Liu Zheng's ideas.

Just when Liu Zheng was about to lead his troops to kill Shouchun City again, a piece of news came, which made Liu Zheng's face ugly.

From the border between Poyang and Danyang, Xu You urgently sent the news eight hundred miles away. Zhou Xin and Wang Lang, who were hiding in Danyang, finally couldn't sit still. One day ago, they sent troops to kill in the direction of Poyang.

A day ago, it was Liu Zheng who led people to attack Shouchun, and it was also a few days after Liu Zheng transferred the soldiers and horses of Poyang and Yuzhang away. I am afraid that Zhou Xin and Wang Lang finally received the news and knew that Poyang is now When He Yuzhang was empty, he wanted to take the opportunity to cut off Liu Zheng's retreat.

If it were any other time, Liu Zheng would really not be afraid of Zhou Xin and Wang Lang's attack. After all, although they have about [-] soldiers and horses here, Wang Lang and Zhou Xin are not very capable people. County, it's okay to go back and compete with them.
