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

Xi Zhicai replied: "Five days ago, Jiaozhou sent news that they had conquered most of Jiaozhou's territory, and they are currently heading towards Yulin County and Jiaozhi County."

Cao Shuo ordered someone to bring a map, put it on the main hall, and carefully searched for the location of Yulin County and Jiaozhi County.

Yulin County is in the south of Lingling, and Jiaozhi County is in the south of Yizhou. If they can capture these two counties, then he can open up a trading channel with Shu.

At that time, whoever I want to be strong will be strong.

"Find a way for them to subdue the southern barbarians and Shanyue, and then use their strength to slowly erode Jingzhou and Yizhou."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo turned his attention to Sizhou. Ma Teng hadn't moved for a while, and he didn't know if he was really concentrating on development, or planning for his Bingzhou.

He needs to have some fun. Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, and Liu Cong are all busy, so it's always bad to leave him alone.

"Feng Xiao, you send someone to notify Yan Xing and let him go back to Luoyang!"

"promise!"

"Your Majesty, General Lu Bu has returned to Luoyang, and Gan Ning is temporarily commanding Yangzhou's army. Sun Quan's generals Huang Gai, Quan Rou, Lu Su, Zhu Zhi, and Zhang Hong are staying in Yangzhou. The rest are returning to Yangzhou. Arrived in Luoyang."

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shuo's mouth, this Zhou Yu didn't know if he still hated himself now.

He was very reluctant to let him stay in Jizhou to do things for him at the beginning, but now that it is in his hands, he doesn't know how he feels.

"They brought them all, and I have something to tell them."

Not long after, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Zhou Yu, Han Dang, Gongqiu Cheng, Zhang Zhao, Xu Kun and others came to the court hall.

"Chen Lu Bu has seen His Majesty!"

"Chen Zhou Yu, I have seen Your Majesty!"

……

"The head of the country has worked hard. In the battle of Yangzhou, the head of the country contributed a lot. He was named the rear general and stayed in Luoyang to obey Zhao's orders."

"promise!"

No one questioned Lu Bu's award.

In fact, when Lv Bu took refuge, Cao Shuo intended to offer rewards, but in order to hide the crowd, he only had to let Lv Bu make meritorious service first, and then award the rewards later.

Cao Shuo looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, how have you been in Yangzhou these past few years? When you were asked to stay in Jizhou, you chose to help Sun Ce. Otherwise, you are now a minister of our military department."

Zhou Yu said calmly, "Your Majesty, everyone has their own ambitions. Bo Funai and I are young and sworn brothers. How can we betray us?"

"Has the murderer who assassinated Bo Fu been found?"

"Most of the assassins were killed on the spot, but two of the assassins who personally killed Bofu escaped."

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai, who nodded and said, "Your Majesty, according to Jin Yiwei's investigation, the residence of the two has been found, and they live in Wuling County, Jingzhou."

"Catch them and hand them over to the Sun family."

Xun Yu reminded: "Most of the Sun family went to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to help the Supreme Emperor build there."

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "I forgot about it, so I'll leave it to Zhou Yu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As the king of subjugation, Sun Quan is considered to be alive. As for the construction of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in his opinion, it is just a disguised distribution.

Cao Shuo rewarded the surrendered officials one by one, and then withdrew from the court.

In the palace of Shu Kingdom in Yizhou, Liu Zhang looked at all the civil and military officials at hand with an extremely gloomy expression.

It's okay to lose the battle at Jiangguan in the east, but I didn't expect that Jiange also lost.

What is even more unexpected is that Zhang Ren was blocked in Jiange by Liu Bei, and Jiameng Pass also fell into Liu Bei's hands.

"Who can solve Zitong's predicament?"

All the generals looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to stand up.

Yan Yan and Zhang Ren both lost the battle, how could they be opponents of each other?

"Why do I support you, when it comes to critical moments, no one takes the initiative to come out?"

Liu Zhang stood up angrily, and then walked away.

These ministers began to discuss in the hall.

"Liu Bei has an invincible army under his command. If we don't solve it, we won't be able to fight this battle."

"Who can contact the Longteng Chamber of Commerce?"

Instead of putting the blame on themselves, these ministers want to rely on external forces to help them solve their difficulties.

Sikong Qiaozhou looked at Huang Quan and said, "General You, why don't you go?"

Huang Quan thought for a while and said, "I need someone to assist me."

"The last general Wu Yi is willing to go out with the right general."

"Okay, come with me to see His Majesty!"

Huang Quan, Wu Yi, and Qiao Zhou came to Liu Zhang's residence. Seeing Liu Zhang's appearance, Huang Quan comforted him: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead the army to support General Zhang."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and the gloom on his face disappeared instantly.

"Sikong, General You, and General Annan will go together, so I can rest assured."

Qiao Zhou Zhou looked confused, I just came to lead the way, but I didn't say I was going. I'm a civil servant, and I'm not a counsellor, so what's the use of me going there?

Just when Qiao Zhou was about to explain, Huang Quan said: "Your Majesty, Zitong is the northern gateway of our army. It must not fall into Liu Bei's hands. With Lord Sikong in charge, it is absolutely safe."

I'm so stupid...

Qiao Zhou glared at Huang Quan angrily, this guy actually wanted to drag himself into the water.

"Sikong is really a loyal minister of our Shu Kingdom. I will give you [-] troops and put them under Sikong's command. If there is any uncertainty, the three of you discuss and act."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Before Qiao Zhou could speak, Huang Quan pulled him away.

After leaving the palace, Qiao Zhou asked, "Huang Quan, do you want to kill me?"

Huang Quan said with a smile: "My lord, how can I enjoy this great achievement alone?"

Chapter 518 Zhang Ren is in crisis, Liu Zhang sends troops to support

Outside Jiameng Pass, in Zhang Ren's camp, Zhang Song said eagerly: "General, our army has sent scouts to Zitong for five days, and there is still no letter. Will Zitong fall into the trap?" Liu Bei's hand?"

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "Based on Liu Bei's losses in attacking Jiange, if he wants to capture Zitong, he needs at least [-] troops to consume the city's defense supplies."

Attacking Jiange and Liu Bei lost more than [-] soldiers and horses, not to mention Zitong City.

But what worries Zhang Ren the most is that if Liu Bei repeats his old tricks by letting his soldiers wear their uniforms and then fraudulently opens the city gate, then Zitong City will be in danger.

The scout he sent was to remind the guards that as long as it wasn't him, they must never open the city gate.

"General, the supply of food and grass for our army can't keep up with the consumption of the army. Although General Meng Da looted some food from Hanzhong, it is far from what our army needs."

Zhang Ren thought for a while, he still has more than 4 people here, and Liu Bei has 3 people under him. If he storms Jiameng Pass at this time, he may still have a chance.

"Let the soldiers of each battalion go to the general platform, and we are going to storm Jiameng Pass!"

"promise!"

No matter what, he's going to try.

"kill!"

Zhang Ren's engineering team rushed to the city wall of Jiameng Pass carrying the ladder.

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers outside the pass and laughed in his heart.

His elite white-eared soldiers have already arrived at the city of Zitong. As long as there is a chance, the elite white-eared soldiers can earn Zitong.

As long as he persisted for a few more days, the best time to catch Zhang Ren alive was when the white-eared elite soldiers were free.

"Notify a few generals and let them guard the city wall!"

The two sides fought at Jiameng Pass for two days and two nights. The corpses under the city wall had already piled up like a mountain, and the supplies for defending the city at Jiameng Pass were almost consumed.

Liu Bei's 5000-strong army has only 1000 left, while Zhang Ren's [-]-strong army has only more than [-].

"General, shall we continue to attack?"

Gao Pei couldn't stand it anymore. His own losses were obviously greater than the opponent's. If they continued to attack, they might be wiped out.

Zhang Ren said in a cold voice: "Victory is just around the corner, and the supplies in the city are almost exhausted. If we take Jiameng Pass in one go and let the white-eared elite soldiers attack Zitong, our army will die without a place to die."

In fact, Zhang Ren has another purpose. If Liu Bei's generals are guarding Jiameng Pass, he will not attack regardless of losses.

Now that Liu Bei is at Jiameng Pass, as long as Liu Bei's soldiers become fewer and fewer, they will have a chance to capture or kill Liu Bei, and then they can win without fighting.

Even if Liu Bei can't be caught, when he senses a crisis, he will transfer the white-eared elite soldiers to Jiameng Pass.

Under Zitong City, Zhao Yan and Liao Hua looked at the towering city wall and couldn't help feeling troubled.

Liao Hua said: "Military Master, shall we attack by force?"

Zhao Yan shook his head, what a joke, this city wall is five feet high, even if a strong attack can break through, their white-eared elite soldiers will suffer heavy losses.

Baier's elite soldiers are still omnipotent in the open field, but they are a bit overkill for attacking the city.

"General Liao, inform the army to go down to the south of Zitong."

Liao Hua asked in surprise, "Military Master, why did our army go down to the south? If Liu Zhang's reinforcements arrive here, won't we be caught between two sides?"

Zhao Yan said: "Ambush on all sides is better!"

"Why?"

However, Zhao Yan didn't explain anything to him. The white-eared elite soldiers were invincible in the wilderness. What was he afraid of? As long as the defenders in Zitong City dared to come out, he would let them know how stupid their decision was.

Deng Xian, the guard of Zitong City, looked at the army stationed outside the city, thinking quickly about the countermeasures in his mind. He was tricked by Liu Bei to win the Jiameng Pass before, this time he will not fall into the trap no matter what.

Unless General Zhang Ren leads the army in person, no one else will open the door. If they want to enter the city, they must first station the army outside the city, and then let the Lord discuss matters in the city.

"General, look quickly, outside the camp outside the city, there seems to be a large army."

Deng Xian frowned. The army from the south was likely to be reinforcements sent by the lord. If they went out of the city to meet them at this time, they might be able to wipe out the enemy army outside the city.

However, Deng Xian hesitated. If this army was deliberately lured by the enemy, he might suffer heavy losses.

While Deng Xian was hesitating, a cavalryman suddenly ran up from a distance and shouted: "Sikong Qiaozhou and the right general Huang Quan led an army of [-] to support Zitong. The defender of Zitong quickly left the city to attack Liu Bei's army."

Sikong Qiaozhou?Right General Huang Quan?

How the hell would Sikong lead the army if I was stupid?

Trying to trick me out of town?impossible……

Deng Xian ignored it directly.

However, not long after, another cavalry came and asked Deng Xian to leave the city for the same reason, and his tone was very bad.

Deng Xian still chose to ignore it.

Within an hour, Deng Xian received more than ten requests, from the initial two-sided attack to the final rescue.

Deng Xian's heart began to waver, could it really be reinforcements?

"Come here, count the [-] troops, and come out of the city with me."

When Deng Xian led the army into the enemy's formation, he was horrified to see Huang Quan and Qiao Yiyi's distressed faces.

Really reinforcements...

But how come there are only more than 2 people left in the [-] army?

However, Huang Quan and Qiao Zhou didn't blame Deng Xian. Repelling the enemy is the top priority right now. As for whether to be held accountable, we have to wait until Liu Bei's army is repelled.

The defense of this white-eared elite soldier is too strong. If their soldiers want to kill one person, it takes more than ten people to replace them.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Zhao Yan quickly asked Liao Hua to retreat with more than 3000 white-eared elite soldiers.

"Hurry up, retreat to Jiameng Pass!"

Deng Xian, Huang Quan and Qiao Zhou led the army to fight until Jiameng pass, and then they took in the army.

"Report, report to Sikong and General You, the general is leading the soldiers to attack Jiameng Pass."
