"Dong! Dong! "
All of a sudden, outside Xiangcheng County, there was a rush of war drums.
The drums are very fast.
After hearing this, Cao Ren, Le Jin and others in the room all changed greatly. Because in the current situation, Zhang jaw leads the soldiers to kill, which means that Zhang jaw must get the news.
Otherwise, Zhang will not attack again.
Cao renceng stood up and said, "let's go and have a look."
Liu Bei, Le Jin, Zhang Liao and others, Qi Shushu walked out of the room and came to the gate of the city. When they looked out of the city, they saw a large army of black soldiers lined up outside.
Zhang Ya, Huang Zhong, and a Guli's army all gathered and were assassinated.
Now, Huang Zhong is in Xiangcheng County.
Before that, Huang Zhong was in Runan County, mopping up all the places, but Huang Zhong didn't delay his time. After mopping up all the places, he had already led his troops northward to meet Zhang Ya outside Xiangcheng County.
Huang Zhong threatened Liu Bei's family members and ordered Liu Bei to surrender. However, Liu Bei was as determined as a stone and was not threatened. Even if Huang Zhong had Liu Bei's family members and subordinates, it would not help.
During this period of time, Zhang Yan and Huang Zhong also joined hands to attack Xiangcheng County, but Cao Ren kept every drop of water, so even Zhang Yan's fierce attack was useless.
Almost when Cao Ren got the news, Zhang Yan got the news from the royal guards.
Cao Cao's 80000 troops suffered heavy losses, and all the remaining troops retreated.
When Zhang jaw got the news, he and Huang Zhong rushed to kill each other and lined up outside the city again.
This time, Zhang wants to break Xiangcheng County.
Looking up at the tower, he immediately said: "Cao Ren, Cao Cao was defeated in the East County. He lost his army at the expense of his troops. Less than 10000 people left in the 80000 army fled to Taishan county. You are now stationed in Xiangcheng County, which is a stubborn resistance. If you surrender now, you will not die. "
WOW!!
The soldiers on the tower were in an uproar when they heard it.
Cao's soldiers, even those under Liu Bei's command, were all flustered.
Liu Bei's soldiers were most frightened.
Originally, Liu Bei's soldiers had already lost Runan County, and their old nest was lost. They could only be attached to Cao Cao. But now even Cao Cao is defeated in Dongjun. Who else can they depend on?
The whole defense of Xiangcheng County was completely flustered.
Everyone was worried.
When Cao Ren knew that Zhang Yan was coming, there would be such a scene. Because the news can't hold down at all. After all, he will have to retreat next. However, Cao Renming knew that the situation was unfavourable, but Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yan, you just want to conquer Xiangcheng County. As long as Ben will be there, that's impossible. "
"No way!"
Cao Ren's reply was resounding.
But after Cao Ren answered Zhang Yan, he looked at the soldiers stationed in the city and gave the order to prepare to retreat, so that the soldiers under his command would wait for his orders at any time.
Originally, Cao Ren negotiated with Zhang Liao and others and planned to retreat quietly. But in this case, it is obviously impossible. After all, Zhang's troops are in the city. They can't easily retreat.
Zhang jaw heard Cao Ren's words, but sneered, Cao Ren is now dead duck mouth.
Under the present premise, Cao Ren will be defeated.
After Zhang publicized the news of Cao Cao's defeat, he did not delay any longer and immediately ordered the attack. The attack was full of 30000 elite and 30000 troops.
Under this attack, Cao Jun, who is defending the city, is facing great pressure. In particular, Cao's soldiers, as well as those under Liu Bei's command, all think about Cao Cao's defeated soldiers and have no desire to fight.
One by one, the soldiers lost their fighting spirit.
After fighting for less than half an hour, countless soldiers have climbed the castle.
The whole defensive side, a complete rout.
Zhuge Liang stood beside Liu Bei and suggested, "Lord, no matter what, retreat. We will retreat immediately."
Liu Bei nodded and turned to the east gate of Xiangcheng County.
Cao Ren also began to retreat.
But Cao Ren retreated to the south gate.
Now it's a time of great calamity. Fly separately and flee separately.
After Cao Ren and Liu Bei went out of the city, they were killed by the cavalry of the flying bear army. As a result, Cao Ren and Liu Bei suffered great losses in their forces.
Even if Liu Bei and Cao Ren all withdrew in the end, their losses were enormous. Nearly 40000 troops were in Xiangcheng County, but less than 6000 were actually withdrawn.
The army suffered countless losses.
After Zhang Ya and Huang Zhong's troops entered Xiangcheng County, they began to count the battlefields. In this battle, more than 12000 soldiers killed Cao Jun and Liu Bei, and nearly 20000 were captured.
The loss of the Qin army was only over 3000.
For the Qin army, the victory of this war broke the situation of Yingchuan county. In particular, Zhang Ya and Huang Zhong broke the county seat in time, making Cao Ren and Liu Bei retreat in a hurry. All the food and equipment in Xiangcheng County were not taken away, which completely became the supplies of the Qin army.After a little rest in Xiangcheng County, Zhang's, Huang Zhong's and aguli's troops went straight to Xudu. Just on the way to Xudu, we got the news that Cao ang, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu left with their troops.
When they arrived, the big room was empty.
Nothing left.
All the grain Xu Du hoarded, as well as equipment and others, were taken away by Cao ang and others, leaving only an empty shelf.
But the little emperor stayed.
Zhang Ya and Huang Zhong frowned when they got the news. They didn't know what to do with the little emperor. So when the army entered Xudu and took control of Xudu, Zhang Ya, Huang Zhong and a Guli invited Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Sima Yi to join them.
Huang Zhong said, "ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is still in the palace. What shall we do?"
Pang Tong said: "Cao Cao's intention is very obvious, that is to leave the emperor to restrain his highness. In my opinion, the emperor is useless now. Why don't you kill him directly? "
"Not right!"
Sima Yi shook her head and said, "even in the world, there are Yuan Shao as emperor and countless people as king. But after all, in the hearts of countless people, Liu Xie is the orthodox and the real emperor. If we kill the emperor, it will be his highness who will eventually carry the pot. People in the world will think that his highness killed Liu Xie. "
Huang Zhong looked at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Shangshu, how do you think about it?"
Jia Xu is the most sophisticated person.
His opinions are very important.
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "in my opinion, Liu Xie's life can be left behind. But before your highness arrives at Xudu, we have to do one thing well. "
Huang Zhong said, "what's the matter?"
Jia Xu zhengse way: "forced palace, ordered Liu Xie active Zen.". If Liu Xie is killed, his highness will be blamed, and even countless people will curse him. However, we don't kill Liu Xie and order him to become a monk. In this way, at least most people will have to accept his Highness's status. "
After a pause, Jia Xu said, "so now is the time for your highness to become emperor. Cao Cao left Liu Xie, intending to coerce his highness. But now, the emperor has lost his value and can squeeze his last value! "
"Wonderful
Pang Tong and Sima Yi spoke at the same time.
Both of them showed approval, because it was the best way to let Liu Xie meditate. This not only saved Liu Xie's life, but also enabled Zhang Xiu to go further.
Even Cao Cao's intention was broken.
Huang Zhong, with a look of approval, said excitedly, "what Jia Shangshu said is true. I immediately led the soldiers into the palace and told Liu Xie about it, so that he could prepare for the Zen throne."
Jia Xu said with a smile, "how can we go together without us in such a grand event?"
"Go with me!"
Everyone spoke together.
A face, all showed a brilliant smile.
