The Three Kingdoms

"Your Majesty, on the south bank of the Luoshui River. On the plain to the south of the Shangyang Bridge, we found the tombs of General Xu Chu and four thousand and one hundred and twenty one Huben soldiers. They were built by Wu Jun, or Sun Zhongmou personally set up the tombstones. They were buried in Shangyang at the beginning. On the battlefield of the bridge!"

Jia Xu walked in and reported.

"Where is Zhicai?"

Cao Cao felt a slight pain in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Lord Taiwei was beheaded by Sun Quan himself by the Luoshui River, and he was not buried. He was lying in a good coffin, which was at the mouth of the Shangyang Bridge. It should be Wu Jun who can stay and let His Majesty personally bury him!"

"Sun Zhongmou is quite generous!"

Cao Cao sighed, the living have the fighting power of the living, and the dead also have the value of the dead. Sun Quan respects Xi Zhicai's integrity, so he left his body, otherwise he would bring Xi Zhicai's bones back to the state of Wu. Can humiliate Cao Wei.

"I want to cross the river!"

Cao Cao walked out of the camp and rode his horse towards Luoshui.

The pontoon bridge built by Wu Jun was not dismantled, anyway, it was of no value.It doesn't matter whether it is demolished or not. Cao Cao crossed the river smoothly and watched the bloody battlefield on the south bank of Shangyang Bridge.

Although the blood on the ground was dark red and light, it was an indelible mark left by this battle.

"Zhicai. Zhongkang, I'm back!"

Cao Cao looked at a lonely grave and a coffin, feeling sad and angry in his heart, but his expression was calm, which made the guards around him feel creepy for no reason.

He just stood there quietly.Silent.

"Zhong Yao!" He opened his mouth after half a ring.

"His Majesty!"

Zhong Yao stepped forward, and he was successful in saving his family in the battle of Luoyang City, and his status in Cao Cao's heart rose greatly.

"Zhongkang was granted the title of Marquis of Huben, buried him as a national soldier, and erected a statue in front of the bridge. After rebuilding the Shangyang Bridge, it was renamed Huben Bridge, and the soldiers of Huben were included in the annals of the Wei Dynasty as loyal and martyrs!"

"promise!"

"Xi Zhicai was conferred the title of first-class sage king, buried on the top of Mang Mountain with the honor of a king, and erected a giant statue on top of Bei Mang, let him look down on my great Wei Luoyang, let him see how I rule the world!"

Cao Cao said every word with great emphasis.

"promise!"

Zhong Yao was a little surprised. This was an unprecedented ceremony in the Wei Dynasty. If it was placed in the previous dynasty, it would be the funeral of the king of the clan.

At this time, a spies from ghost soldiers came in a hurry and whispered a few words about military affairs in Jia Xu's ear.

"Your Majesty, the scouts found Wu Jun's cavalry on the Hongnong official road!" Jia Xu reported, "It's Sun Quan's main force!"

"He has been going south for several days, and he is still in Hongnong?"

Cao Cao's eyes became sharp: "No, there is no snow these days, and the weather is good. With their cavalry's foot strength, shouldn't they leave Hongnong and enter Jingzhao?"

"Your Majesty, Hongnong Yang's power stopped it a little bit!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "The strength of the Guanzhong family is pretty good. In the beginning, Sun Quan just hit him suddenly, so he was able to go north smoothly. Now that he wants to go back, the Guanzhong family will not let him slip away so smoothly. , these Guanzhong aristocratic families have an intricate network of relationships, each city has a certain strength, they don’t need to send troops, as long as they destroy the main road, close the city gates and refuse to accept them, the speed of the Wu army will be slowed down by half!”

"Haha, it seems that I can leave a few generals of the Wu army to be buried with my great Wei Huben soldiers!"

Cao Cao said in a cold voice.

Time is the key to the battle. Once the main force of Xiliang is returned to Guanzhong, it will be impossible for Wu Jun to escape smoothly. Even if you don't keep Sun Quan, at least three fierce generals will be killed in a row.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites us to fight. The Wu army destroyed the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. This feud is irreconcilable. The last general is willing to lead the tiger and leopard to ride south immediately. Be sure to stop Sun Zhongmou and keep his head!"

Cao Chun stood up and shouted for a fight.

"Can!"

Cao Cao nodded: "Zihe, be careful, try not to fight the Wu army head-on, hold them back, and wait for Fengxiao and the others to lead the troops back, then there is a chance of winning!"

It's not that he underestimated Cao Chun and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but he had to be afraid of the joint combat power of Lu Bu, Zhao Zilong and other fierce generals. Once they fought head-on in the wild, they would be overwhelming and unstoppable.

"promise!"

Cao Chun ordered his troops to go south immediately.

"Jun Ming, go and help him!" Cao Cao said after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, your safety..." Although Dian Wei was eager to fight, he was even more worried that Cao Cao had no one to protect him.

"Luoyang is already safe. With Zhang Baiqi's Yellow Turban Army and Xun Yu's Yecheng soldiers, there will be no serious problems. Moreover, Yuan Rang has already led the troops at Hangu Pass, which is less than a day away. Don't worry, Luo In the battle of Yang, Zhongkang died in battle, even if you avenge him, no matter what the cost, you must leave a strong general of them to be buried with Zhongkang!"

Cao Cao said fiercely.

"No!" Dian Wei was relieved, and rode away with the army.

"Your Majesty, do you think General Cao Chun failed to keep Sun Zhongmou?"

Jia Xu stood beside Cao Cao by the Luoshui River, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at Cao Cao's calm expression without any desire to fight, and suddenly asked.

He knew Cao Cao well, and he would definitely repay such a great humiliation. If Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rider had a [-]% chance of keeping Sun Quan, Cao Cao would not let him go south alone, and he would fight in person.

However, since he didn't go south to fight in person, it meant that he had decided in his heart that Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, as well as Wei Jun's main force in Xiliang, would not be able to save Sun Quan's life.

"I guess there is no chance!"

Cao Cao nodded, and said calmly: "I am satisfied to keep the few generals around Sun Quan. Zhao Zilong, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce, with these three generals, even if we kill one of the Wu army and wipe out the entire army, we will not be able to keep Sun Zhongmou. The battle between Wu has just begun, and the future is long!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Hearing this, Jia Xu calmed down for a moment, became clear, and said to Cao Cao: "We are all blinded by shame, and we want to keep Sun Quan at all costs, but it is better for your majesty to stay calm and keep Sun Quan." It is estimated that it will be very difficult to go down to Sun Quan, but if we concentrate our forces to kill the fierce generals around him, there is great hope!"

"If Ma Chao Pound and the others can block Chang'an, at least half of Sun Zhongmou's tens of thousands of cavalry will remain. As for the generals around Sun Zhongmou, no one knows how many we can keep!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: "If I can keep Lu Bu and Sun Ce behind, I will not waste the shame of running away from the city!"

"Your Majesty, there is Wuguan!"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "If Sun Quan left Guanzhong from Wuguan, Nanyang's troops might not be able to stop him. Tai Shici and Ju Yi stormed Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu's troops are not strong enough to stop Sun Quan's cavalry!"

"When the Battle of Luoyang started, I rushed eight hundred li and ordered Zhang Xiu to block Wuguan. As long as he takes Wuguan first, Sun Quan will not be able to rush out, so Zhang Xiu has dispatched the most powerful general under his command. Hu Che'er, go north to Wuguan, this road is blocked!"

Cao Cao said coldly: "He, Sun Zhongmou, has only two paths now, either he forcibly breaks into Xiliang, or he returns the same path, no matter which path he takes, he has to save the life of buying the road, it depends on whose fate it is. !” To be continued.
