Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

After a while, Yuan Yao came to Yuan Shu's side and cried out: "Father, my son is incompetent, the [-] army has been defeated by the opponent."

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "Aren't you arrested? Why were you released?"

"This……"

Yuan Yao looked embarrassed. After he was arrested, he was sent to Cao Shuo. Cao Shuo entertained him a lot, and then told himself that his sister is now the imperial concubine of Wei State.

If he could take refuge in Wei State, his life would be saved. When Yuan Yao heard this, he agreed.

Cao Shuo put him back because he was a lobbyist.

"Cao Shuo asked you to be a lobbyist to persuade me to surrender?"

Yuan Shu kicked Yuan Yao to the ground angrily.

"Rebel!"

Yuan Yao said: "Father, Cao Shuo's army is too powerful. We are no match for him at all. The ones attacking Jiujiang County now are all soldiers left by Cao Cao, and their strength is not strong."

Yuan Shu's face was as gloomy as water, beating himself up like this, isn't it strong?Are you humiliating me?

Just when Yuan Shu was about to lose his temper, Yuan Yao continued: "Cao Shuo's Xuanjia army ministers have met, [-] elite soldiers, in the hands of their [-] Xuanjia army, it is like chopping melons and vegetables."

"The leading generals are all brave and invincible. An unknown young general, Zhang Xiu, killed Lei Xu and Chen Lan in a row."

"What? Zhang Xiu is still a young general?"

Yuan Shu's face darkened, and he asked you to read more books and observe the enemy's movements, what have you been doing?

Zhang Xiuna is the senior brother of Zhao Yun, the number one military general in Wei State, how can he be called an unknown young general?

Yuan Yao asked with a confused look: "Isn't it?"

"Get out of here!"

Yuan Shu decided not to talk nonsense to him anymore, what is the use of such waste, alas, Cao Cao really gave birth to a good son.

Yuan Shu's legs went limp and he sat on the ground. Although the news Yuan Yao brought back was not pleasant, it showed that the gap between him and Cao Shuo was too great. They beat him like this without using regular troops.

"Report!"

A fast horse came under the city wall and shouted: "General Qiao Rui lost to Zhang Xiu in front of the battle and was captured alive by the opponent. All the [-] troops under General Qiao's army have defected to Cao Shuo."

"puff!"

Yuan Shu spat out blood, and stared angrily at the fast horse outside the city. The bastard couldn't tell where he was, but he actually said this in front of so many defenders outside the city.

Isn't this disturbing the morale of the army? It's really abominable, and the nine clans should be punished.

"Shoot me with random arrows!"

Yuan Shu let out a roar, and the soldiers on the tower hesitated for a moment, before finally releasing their arrows.

"Puff puff!"

Countless arrows were shot, and the soldier was so frightened that he fled away on his horse.

Yuan Shu was furious, this bastard still dared to run away, it was really abominable, "Bewitching the crowd, disturbing the morale of the army, come here, send a hundred elite cavalry, and take his head."

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and when he was about to go down the tower, another fast horse came and said loudly: "The general fought Yu Jin, defeated Jun Dao, was surrounded in the city, and came here to ask the king for help."

"what?"

Yuan Shu's feet softened, and he rolled down the stairs. The guards at the side were startled, and rushed to help Yuan Shu.

"Chen Guo is dead, Hefei is dead..."

Yan Xiang raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh, looking at Yuan Shu whose head was bleeding from the fall, he shook his head.

I really didn't expect that the general was defeated by Yu Jin, how can this battle be fought?

Of the three generals outside the city, only Zhang Xun was left with an army of 15. In an instant, there were less than 5 left.

If they can't defend against danger, they won't be able to withstand Cao Shuo's siege weapons at all.

In the wilderness, they had no chance.

In the early morning of the next day, the city defenders were in a daze. Seeing the smoke and dust billowing outside the city, they thought it was reinforcements coming. When they were about to open the city, they saw that the opponent was soldiers and horses from the State of Wei, and they were instantly terrified.

"Hurry up and report to the king, Hefei City is besieged by Wei's army."

Yuan Shu, who was still howling in pain, passed out immediately after receiving the terrible news.

Cao Shuo's actions were too fast, could it be that his three armies were all defeated?

"Report, Zhang Liao, the leading general outside the city, has sent a letter."

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu who was still in a coma, and opened the letter privately.

"Generals Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, and Ji Ling of the State of Chen were all captured by our army. If King Chen understands current affairs, is sympathetic to the people, loves his soldiers, and surrenders in Kaesong, he can enjoy a salary of [-] shi and retire in any city of Wei State. If you persevere to the end, you will surely die."

Yan Xiang's face turned red and then pale, trembling all over, the army outside the city was really defeated.

There are only tens of thousands of recruits in their city, and the Imperial Forest Army has only 5000 people, and they simply cannot withstand a few rounds of attacks.

Chapter 476 Yuan Shu surrendered, Sun Ce plotted Jiangnan

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu who was in a coma, and then at Yuan Yao who was beside him, and said, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"

At the same time, Yan Xiang was also serving as the Prince and Taifu. Yuan Yao took refuge in Cao Shuo, which might be an opportunity for him.

Yuan Yao said: "Cao Shuo is powerful, and we are no match for him. If we fight to the end, not only the people in the city will suffer, but also our soldiers. It is better to surrender."

Yan Xiang nodded and said: "When the king wakes up, maybe this matter will be very difficult, we need to act as soon as possible."

"Surrender of Kaesong! Welcome Wei Emperor Cao Shuo into the city!"

Xu Ding led the [-] Xuanjia Army to enter the city first, controlling all the streets, and then the Tiger Guards escorted Cao Shuo into Hefei City.

"Ah You……"

Yuan Shu, who was in a coma, slowly opened his eyes, and his face turned pale when he saw the person in front of him.

"Father-in-law needs to rest, don't get angry, and be careful not to involve the wound."

Cao Shuo held the silver needle and looked at Yuan Shu with a smile on his face. Yuan Shu looked bewildered.

How did this bastard get into the city, "Guard, guard..."

"Father, we have surrendered in Kaesong."

Cao Shuo has no kings with different surnames, and no kings with the same surname, these rules have already been told to him by Xi Zhicai.

The word father king must never appear in front of Cao Shuo.

Yuan Shu said angrily: "Nizi..."

Yuan Yao persuaded: "Father, don't get angry. Listen carefully. The people in the city are grateful to Father for his understanding of righteousness."

Deep understanding of righteousness...

Yuan Shu's face darkened, what kind of understanding is this?

You have defeated all the lands and mountains that I worked so hard to build.

There are tens of thousands of troops in the city, you don't even fight, just open the city and surrender.

Cao Shuo wrote a prescription, handed it to Yuan Yao and said, "According to this prescription, take it twice a day, within three days, father-in-law's injury will be healed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, send someone to escort Lord Yan Xiang to Ji Ling's army, and tell him that Yuan Shu has surrendered, so he should stop resisting."

"promise!"

Yan Xiang's eyes turned dark, didn't he already take refuge?Why do you still go to persuade them to surrender?Could it be...

Yan Xiang smiled wryly, it turned out that it was the other party's trick, but he didn't see it.

Cao Shuo looked at Yuan Yao and said, "Chengde's Zhang Xun army is very tenacious, I'm afraid you need to go there in person."

"It is my honor to share the worries of His Majesty."

Yuan Shu was about to go mad with anger. It turned out that the soldiers who reported at the city gate were not his.

The hateful Cao Shuo is playing tricks.

The news that Cao Shuo took Hefei without bloodshed quickly reached Sun Ce.

Sun Ce hastily called an all-staff meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"The north of the Yangtze River is in the hands of Cao Shuo. We are now in crisis. It is impossible to block the mouth of the Yangtze River. Cao Shuo's army can still enter the south of the Yangtze River from Jiujiang County and Lujiang County."

Zhou Yu said with a gloomy face: "We have built fifteen warships, and they are already on their way. As long as we have these warships, we can easily repel Gan Ning's navy."

Huang Gai asked: "After Huang Zhong, the governor of Wu County, left, it was convenient for us not to attack Danyang County by land. Should we take this opportunity to retake Wu County and Kuaiji County and control the entire south of the Yangtze River?"

Lu Su said: "No, although Huang Zhong has left, Tai Shici is still there. This man's martial arts are comparable to the Lord's, and he has Dong Xi, He Qi, and Wen Ji to help us. We have no advantage."

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "We can start from Zheshui in Danyang County and go all the way east to attack the hinterland of Kuaiji County."

Sun Ce worried: "Will this be too risky? After all, the other party attacked Wu County from Jiande back then. They must know the importance of that place and will definitely send a large army to defend it."

Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already sent people to investigate. Jiande has only a thousand defenders, and there are no defenders on both sides of the Zhejiang River. As long as we succeed in sneak attacking Jiande, we will be able to take Kuaiji County by surprise."

Sun Ce looked at the soldiers in the camp and asked, "Who does Gong Jin think is more appropriate to send?"

"Ling Cao, the governor of Kuaiji County, is brave and intrepid. He certainly would not have thought that we would skip Wu County and attack Kuaiji County. Old General Cheng Pu, Chen Wu, and Quan Cong are capable."

Sun Ce asked again, "How many soldiers and horses are suitable?"

Zhou Yu replied, "[-] troops are enough."

"Okay, three generals, you will lead an army of [-] troops, go down the river from Danyang, capture Jiande, and then attack Shanyin!"

"No!"

After the three of them left, Lu Su frowned and said, "Governor, Jia Xu, the counselor, is very scheming. We should be careful not to fall into his trap."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Master Zijing, do you know why Cao Shuo wanted to attack Yuan Shu by land?"

Lu Su said in surprise: "Isn't it that the Yangtze River has been blocked by us, and his navy can't get in?"

Zhou Yu denied, "Of course not. Although we blocked it, if they charged at all costs, we would not be able to stop them. Their big ships are much stronger than our warships."

"Why is that?" Everyone looked at Zhou Yu puzzled.

Zhou Yu explained: "Although Cao Shuo's scheme can deceive Yuan Shu, it cannot escape my eyes."

"Compared with Jiujiang County, Lujiang County is obviously easier to take down. However, Cao Shuo chose to attack Jiujiang County by force. His purpose was to sneak attack Lujiang County, and then enter Jiangxia County from Jiujiang County."

"Then control the entire north bank of the Yangtze River and connect with Nanyang County, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Hong, the prefect of Lujiang County, surrendered without a fight, allowing his army to easily enter Lujiang County."

Sun Ce said in shock, "Cao Shuo is going to attack Jiang Xia?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "The road to the west of Jiangxia County has been blocked by Huang Zu, and the road to the east connecting Lujiang County is still unimpeded because of the transaction between the two parties."

Sun Ce hurriedly said, "We must notify Liu Biao as soon as possible!"

Zhou Yu said: "It's too late to notify at this time, presumably Cao Shuo's army has entered Jiangxia County, and I heard that the leading general is Lu Bu."

"Lu Bu?"

Sun Ce's heart skipped a beat. Just after Huang Zhong left, Lu Bu came again. This must be deliberately targeting him.

"In order to defend Jiangxia, Liu Biao will definitely send people to ask for help. At the same time, he will send a navy to attack Lu Bu's camp in Jiangxia. We can take this opportunity..."

Zhou Yu smiled meaningfully, and then pointed to the four Jingnan counties on the map.

"Changsha is the achievement of half a lifetime of the old general. We must take it back and give it back double."

Sun Ce said in horror: "Gongjin, is this inappropriate? After all, we are an alliance."

Zhou Yu said with a sneer: "Liu Biao is just a piece of trash. He can't keep Jingzhou at all. Once Cao Shuo takes Jingzhou, we will have no room for development."

Sun Ce thought about it carefully, and said: "We want to intercept Gan Ning on the Yangtze River, and we also need to guard against Cao Shuo's army in the north of the river from crossing the river, and we want to sneak attack Kuaiji County, and now you want to attack the four counties in Jingnan and fight on four fronts. Can't bear it."

Zhou Yu said: "Attacking Kuaiji County is just a cover to deceive Cao Shuo and Liu Biao. My purpose is to seize the four counties in southern Jing."

Chapter 477 The Sun-Liu Alliance Completely Disintegrated

"Report to Your Majesty, Jiangxia Governor Huang Zu is asking for reinforcements!"

The news that Lu Bu led an army from Lujiang to find Yang and entered Jiangxia was quickly sent to Liu Biao.
