In April of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Pi was attacked in Zhongqiu County and died in the city.
He did not surrender until his death, but fought a bloody battle with the Karasuma people to the end. He killed nearly twenty Karasuma people, but was eventually killed because he was outnumbered.
The weather in April is hot.
But in Cao Jun's camp outside Yecheng, Cao Cao felt a bone-chilling chill that he had never experienced before!
In the second year of Jian'an, he attacked Wancheng, and Cao Ang died in battle; seven years later, he attacked Yecheng, but lost his beloved son...
"Gongda, why did Liaodong Karasuma appear in Zhongqiu?"
When he first heard the bad news, Cao Cao fainted in the tent.
At this time, he had woken up, but he looked so depressed. His hair, which was originally half black, turned gray overnight. His body, which had always been strong, seemed to have been stripped of its bones.
So stooped, so old. Before Yecheng was defeated, his beloved son lost his life! How could Cao Cao not cry?
Xun You looked at Cao Cao worriedly and called out: "My lord..."
A small transition.
The decisive battle in Liangzhou is coming, and the battle between Cao and Ma will also enter its climax.

"I'm fine. I just want to know why Liaodong Karasuma is in Zhongqiu?"
"Liaodong Wuwansu has a good relationship with Yuan Xi. To attack from Liaodong, he must pass through Youzhou. It must be Yuan Xi who is causing trouble."
"Youzhou, is there anything unusual?"
"It is said that they are already gathering in Yishui."
How could Yuan Xi's actions in Youzhou be hidden from Cao Cao?
However, Cao Cao did not expect that Yuan Xi, who had always been cowardly, would have such courage to attack across the border...
"How is the situation over there with Zhang Yan?"
"Zhang Yan is attacked by Yuan Xi and may not be able to escape for a while."
"Hehe, hehehe..."
Cao Cao was not angry but laughed. Later, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Yuan Benchu gave birth to a good son!"
He finally understood why senior officials made such a big move in Hedong.
It turned out that these three people actually joined forces.
Gao Gan's actions in Hedong were probably not only to create conditions for Ma Teng, but also to attract Cao Cao's attention. When the Black Mountain Army came out of the mountain, they were attacked by Yuan Xi, indicating that Yuan Xi was well prepared. Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and others
High officials...three Yuan family members actually planned a big game. Cao Peng reacted in time in Hexi and sent troops to capture Wuwei County. I'm afraid that now, Liangzhou has become a mess, and Ma Teng can take advantage of the situation.
Capture Guanzhong.
"Brilliant, brilliant!"
"Lord, calm down!"
"Don't worry, Gongda, I'm not angry.
However, I may have been so smooth over the years that I underestimated these kids. Since Guandu, the war has gone smoothly! When Yuan Shao died, I thought Hebei was within easy reach, but I didn't want it to continue until now, and I didn't take Yecheng.
Now that Yuan Xi has taken action, Yuan Tan cannot be willing to be lonely...
Gongda, convey my order quickly, and send Zi Lian to immediately station troops at the boundary bridge and make preparations; then order Xu Huang to secretly set out from Wulu City and hide in the shell hill; order Zang Ba Lu Qian to cross the river from Gaotang and closely monitor Yuan
Tan moves. As soon as Yuan Tan makes any move, he immediately seizes Pingyuan County. Then he orders Zi Lian and Gong Ming to attack Qinghe State and must destroy Yuan Tan."
Xun You bowed and said, "I obey."
"Chuan Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Shi Huan and Wen Ze."
Xun You hurried out, and after a while, Dian Wei and others carefully walked into the Chinese army's tent.
"Lord!"
Cao Cao waved his hand, a look of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
He whispered: "Three days, three days later, I will stand at the head of Yecheng."
The sound was very quiet, but in the ears of Dian Wei and others, it was like a thunder. Cao Cao was going to ruthlessly capture Ye City... This means that from now on, Cao Jun will not hesitate to destroy Ye City, even at any cost.
For flat ground.
Dian Wei said nothing and said in a loud voice: "My lord, if we cannot conquer Yecheng within three days, Dian Wei will come to see you."
"Xu Chu is willing to issue a military order, and Ye City will be conquered within three days."
Shi Huan and Yu Jin did not dare to hesitate.
The death of Cao Pi made all the generals of Cao's army feel inexplicable shame. With such an advantage, they were plotted against by a small boy. It was really shameful that the small city of Ye was attacked for more than a month without being defeated. Dian Wei and others turned around and said,
He strode out of the Chinese army's tent. Cao Cao, like a deflated rubber ball, suddenly collapsed on the Grand Master's chair, with tears streaming down his face.
Could it be that God ordered me, Cao Cao, to suffer this disaster?
Zihuan, my son!
Tears were streaming down Cao Cao's face, and his body was shaking constantly.
In the huge military tent, only Cao Cao's suppressed cries echoed...
After a long time, Cao Cao calmed down, stood up suddenly, and wiped the tears from his face.
"Come in!"
"The end will be here."
Following a loud voice, a young man strode in from outside the tent.
This man's name is Yang Di, whose nickname is Jinzhi, and he is Cai Yan's brother-in-law. Previously, Wang Tu was executed by Cao Cao's secret order, so Yang Di was ordered to take over Wang Tu's position and serve as his personal general.
After he walked in, he bowed and saluted.
"Please give me your orders, my lord."
"Send me an order to let Zhang Yan lead the Black Mountain Army to attack. Within ten days, he must wipe out the Zhongshan Kingdom and capture Peiping... Tell him that I will allow his Black Mountain Army to plunder the Zhongshan Kingdom for three days. However, if he does not do so within ten days,
Go to Peiping and ask him to come and see you."
"Here!"
Three days of plundering!
Yang Di couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Zhongshan Kingdom, finished...
The Peiping that Cao Cao mentioned was not the capital of later generations, but a city located in the northeast of Zhongshan Kingdom along the river. It was adjacent to Yishui. Once Yuan Xi dared to make a move, Zhang Yan could attack from Peiping and annihilate him in one fell swoop.
However, after three days of plundering, how many people are left in Zhongshan Kingdom?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++
Located in the southern part of Zhongshan Kingdom, there is a county seat.
It faces the plains in the east, Taihang in the west, and Hutuo in the south. Its terrain is flat, higher in the west and lower in the east, with a gentle slope. It stretches for dozens of miles, has fertile soil, has a distinct climate in four seasons, and has abundant rainfall. It is a place for food production.
This county town is called Wuji.
In Wuji County, there is a large family named Zhen.
This Zhen family is the family of Luo Shen Zhen Mi. At this time, the entire Zhen family seemed particularly chaotic, and everyone looked solemn.
In the flower hall of the Zhen family, all the Zhen family members gathered here.
Zhen Yao tapped his forehead lightly, looking a little confused, "Zhang Yan, sent troops from Heishan and invaded Zhongshan Kingdom."
"So what?"
"how?"
Zhen Yao looked at the tribesman who spoke and suddenly cursed, "Yuan Xi attracted the Wu Wan cavalry to attack and kill Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Pi in Zhongqiu. Do you know that Cao Cao was furious and ordered a bloodbath in Ye City. Seven days ago
... Yecheng was captured by Cao Cao. Shen Zhengnan's entire family was killed, and Yuan Shang was executed by Cao Cao. Five days ago, Yuan Tan was ambushed by Cao's soldiers in Qinghe State and was killed on the spot. Pingyuan County was immediately defeated, and Yuan Tan's entire family was killed.
Pressed to Yecheng and waited for disposal.
Cao Cao is really angry this time!
Now that the Changshan Kingdom has been defeated and the Anping Kingdom has been defeated, Cao's army has marched to Quyang and may attack outside Wuji City at any time.
How did Cao Pi die?
It was Yuan Xi who led Wu Wan to ride suddenly and killed him!
Who is Yuan Xi? That is our uncle...
Then tell me now, what will happen if Wuji County is broken?"
Seeing Zhen Yao's distorted and ferocious face, the Zhen clan members were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out and sat in the corner without saying a word.
"My son, now is not the time to get angry."
Behind Zhen Yao is an old woman with a kind face.
She sighed softly, "I have said before that this wealth comes too easily, which is not a good thing.
It would have been a good thing for Xiao Mi to have a royal spirit in the world of governance; but now... your father just refuses to listen to my persuasion.
As of now, there is no other way.
The only choice is to leave this foundation behind and leave Zhongshan Kingdom..."
"Leave Zhongshan, where to go?"
The old lady thought for a while, raised her head after a while, and uttered two words: "Hexi!"
"Going to Hexi?"
When Zhen Yao heard this, his expression changed drastically.
"Mother, there is absolutely no way you can do this... Hexi is also under the rule of Cao Cao. I heard that Cao Peng, the governor of Hexi, is Cao Cao's nephew, and he is not an easy master to deal with. If he went to Hexi, wouldn't he
Looking for death?"
"Cao Peng, do you have any grudge against us?"
"Uh...no!"
"Do you have any grudge against us?"
"This, it seems, doesn't exist either."
The old lady said softly: "Speaking of which, Cao Peng still owes us."
"Mother, how do you say this?"
After Zhen Yao got angry and drove away those innocent people, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what the old lady said.
The old lady whispered: "Did my son forget, where is your sister now?"
"this……"
"That Cao Peng is a man who values friendship and loyalty.
I have carefully studied this son, and he is indeed very good. Back then, he did not hesitate to kill himself for the sake of Lu Bu's kindness, and rescued Lu Bu's family and went overseas. I heard that the Lu family is overseas, but now it is
The tide is rising.
Let's go over and see what he can do with us.
If he really kills us, it will be the fate of our Zhen family... But if he is willing to help, our Zhen family can still build a family business in Hexi. Why did Su Shuang run to Hexi? Isn't it just to go there?
Cao Peng? When it comes to being a businessman or a businessman, when our Zhen family started to build a family business, the Su family didn’t even have a place to stay, so we’re afraid of them?"
Zhen Yao fell into deep thought.
The old lady's words actually moved him a little.
However, if he goes to Hexi, his reputation as a filial and honest person will be wasted...
"Then you have to prepare quickly."
"Be very prepared!"
The old lady suddenly became angry, stood up and shouted in a low voice: "At this time, what else do you want to prepare?
Inform your sisters and leave tonight."
"ah?"
"Don't notify anyone and leave quietly."
After the old lady finished speaking, she leaned on the couch and said softly: "From today on, you are no longer a descendant of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, but a descendant of the Zhen family in Hexi. As for those tribesmen, you have also seen... they used to support us.
, rely on us. But when the disaster is approaching, I am afraid that each of those people has the intention of using us as a gift of audience. They will not follow us, and they can only give us a knife at the critical moment.
, for the gift of promotion."
Zhen Yao's cheeks twitched twice.
Although he didn't want to admit such a reality, he had to face it.
Just looking at the nonchalant look on the face of the tribesman and saying "so what", I am afraid that he really has this intention.
"My son, go and prepare immediately.
We have lost all the bulky things, so don’t take them with you. Just bring some important gold and silverware, and prepare two carriages. Let’s leave Wuji County before dark. These family properties will not be taken with us until death.
, the important thing is that our trade routes outside the Great Wall must be taken away. Those things are the basis for our foothold in Hexi..."
"My child, I understand!"
Zhen Yao did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately went down to summon the sisters and began preparations.
The old lady sat in the hall and took out a letter from her arms. She opened her cloudy eyes wide, and after a while, she suddenly smiled.
“Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and misfortune lies on the back of blessing!
This is a blessing in disguise... Haha, blessings turn into disasters, disasters turn into blessings, they are out of reach and unfathomable..."

Time, unknowingly, entered May of the ninth year of Jian'an.
The war in Hebei gradually came to an end. After Gao Gan fell in Yecheng and Yuan Tan was killed, he quickly evacuated Hedong. Cao Ren immediately ordered Cao Jun to cross Tongtian Mountain and enter Bingzhou. Ke Zuiwuwan was the first to bear the brunt and encountered Cao Jun.
After resisting for ten days, Lord Karasuma Ke Zui finally could not withstand the fierce offensive of Cao Jun and fled with his troops.
It was at this time that news came from Jiangdong: Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of Sun Wu's navy, made a surprise attack on Jiangxia...
Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, was killed by Zhou Yu, and Huang Zu's son Huang She was captured by Soochow and executed on the river. Suddenly, Jingzhou was in chaos.
At the same time, Sun Quan ordered General Tai Shici to send troops from his nest to capture Liu'an.
Hefei is in danger, and Shouchun is even more threatened.
After Cao Cao learned the news, he had to suspend his attack on Hebei. From a strategic point of view, he had achieved his goal by attacking Xiaquyang and capturing the Zhongshan Kingdom. Sun Quan's sudden move made Cao Cao worried.
After discussing with all the counselors, Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to temporarily take charge of the Hejian and Bohai counties, and join forces with the Zhongshan Kingdom where Zhang Yan was located to form a siege on Youzhou... and then quickly returned to Xu.
All.
The Battle of Hebei has come to an end.
However, for Cao Peng, the conclusion of the Hebei War indicated that the Liangzhou War must be accelerated.
In May of the ninth year of Jian'an, the Battle of Zhangye ended.
After Su Ze defeated Zou Qi at Zhaowu, he quickly invaded Zhangye County.
At the same time, he sent an envoy to Wuwei and asked Cao Peng to submit a letter to the court on his behalf... This seemingly ordinary move made Cao Peng feel relieved.
This Su Ze belongs to the Cao sect!
At least, he was not disgusted with Cao Cao.
Otherwise, as Su Ze, he could have reported directly to the imperial court. But he did not do so. Instead, he had to go through Cao Peng. Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Peng's memorial was not so much to the imperial court as to the Sikong Mansion.
In this way, Su Ze's political leanings were clearly demonstrated.
In accordance with the previous agreement with Su Ze, Cao Peng appointed Su You to be the commander of Rile Army. At the age of thirteen, Cao Zhang was appointed to serve as the captain of the Rile Army Command. At the same time, Cao Peng also appointed people to serve as commander of the Rile Army Military Academy in accordance with the previous agreement between Cao Zhang and Su Ze.
Submit to Xudu quickly.
As for who will be the governor of Zhangye?
Cao Peng didn't want to give any opinions... His eyes had turned from the west of Wuwei County to Jincheng County!
