With the city gate broken, Xu Rong led his troops into the city and captured Puyang. He then personally led his cavalry and chased the fleeing Yuan soldiers along the way for more than sixty miles before withdrawing the army. After the war,
After counting, more than 4,000 enemy soldiers were killed and more than 10,000 captured. The enemy general Chun Yuqiong was also captured alive.
Lu Bu held the tightly tied Chunyu Qiong in his left hand and Yuan Tan's head in his right hand. He excitedly came to Xu Rong and shouted: "General, I have captured Chun Yuqiong! This is
The head of Yuan Shao’s son!”
When he was in Luoyang, Xu Rong was just a camp commander in the Northern Army, but Chun Yuqiong was one of the eight captains of Xiyuan. The disparity in status between the two sides was as great as the difference between clouds and mud. Seven years later, the Northern Army Yueqi
A small village commander in the camp is now a general of the imperial court, with tens of thousands of troops under his command. But the right captain back then has become a prisoner.
Chunyu Qiong was half awake from the wine. He fell to the ground and cried out: "General Xu, for the sake of our comrades, please spare me this time!"
Xu Rong looked at Chunyu Qiong on the ground, waved his hand and said, "Push it out and chop it!"
Chunyu Qiong struggled desperately and begged loudly, but after a while, someone put his head on a plate and presented it to him. When Lu Bu saw it, he laughed again. Xu Rong had a strong temperament.
After killing two prefects and seven county magistrates, killing one more Chunyu Qiong is like crushing an ant to death.
He said to Lu Bu: "Hang the heads of these two people on the city wall, so that the people in the city can take a good look at what will happen if you resist the imperial court!"
The soldiers took the order and left. After a while, another soldier came in and asked: "The county magistrate, county captain and others have been arrested. What should we do?"
Xu Rong was more ruthless than Chen Cheng, and he also wanted to help the general deal with all these people, so he ordered: "Just like before, all the officials in the city will be executed! The soldiers will collect weapons and armor and send them to the army to serve!"
"Sent to the army to serve" means to use these people as "horses and soldiers", and let them do all the hard and dirty work. They work the most, eat the least, and they are finished if they die. Chen Cheng's response to the surrendered county magistrate
They are all temporarily retained. Only those who raise troops to fight will kill the leading officials and then exile their families.
Xu Rong, on the other hand, didn't care. As long as he didn't "eat the pot of pulp to welcome the king's master", he would treat them all as traitors. From the county magistrate down to the subordinate officials, they would be killed or compiled.
Enter the army.
The army stopped in Puyang for a day to repair, and then continued to advance after leaving hundreds of people to defend. Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Tan, who had been blowing the cold wind side by side for a day and night on the top of the city, were put into wooden boxes and let a few
The prisoners were taken and sent to Yuan Shao on horseback.
Yuan Shao, who was based in Changyi, had been worried after he heard that Chunyu Qiong's tribe was defeated and the whereabouts of his eldest son Yuan Tan was unknown. When he received the express delivery from Xu Rong and saw the familiar face, he shouted and raised his head to the sky.
On the contrary, everyone on the side rushed forward hurriedly, pinching people and irrigating people. After working hard for a while, they woke up Yuan Shao who had passed out.
When Yuan Shao woke up and saw the two heads on the table, he couldn't help but became furious again. He broke away from everyone's support, pulled out the sword on the shelf, and shouted frantically: "How dare Xu Rong kill my son?
I must capture this man alive and then cut him to pieces with a thousand knives before I can vent the hatred in my heart!"
He held the sword in both hands and struck it down hard. There was a "click" sound, and the table in front of him was split into two pieces.
Yuan Shao shouted: "Where is Ju Yi?"
The judge on the side replied: "General Ju Yi said that Xuzhou can be conquered very soon, so it is not appropriate to retreat. Once Xuzhou is conquered, it will not be too late to withdraw our troops and come back!"
Ju Yi relies on the bravery of his generals and has always been arrogant and rude. In the past few years, because this general was needed to fight Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao tolerated it, but now that even his eldest son has been killed, Ju Yi is still
Such arrogance made Yuan Shao, who was already furious, even more furious.
He said with a gloomy face: "Send someone to pass on the order again, telling Ju Yi to leave Xiapi alone and bring his troops back immediately!"
Xiapi was destroyed once by Cao Cao with a water attack. Later, Liu Bei sent people to repair Xiapi City, and its defense was stronger than before. If water was released again, the city also had countermeasures. Ju Yi led Jizhou's
The elite soldiers and generals overturned Liu Bei's 50,000 troops on the plain, and besieged Guan Yu in Xiapi City.
However, Guan Yu is now a world-famous city defense master. He led more than 10,000 people to defend the city. Chen Cheng gave Liu Bei another 2,000 war horses, half of which fell into Guan Yu's hands. Therefore, Guan Yu had a
He had a very powerful cavalry, and from time to time he would lead the cavalry out to launch counterattacks, beating the Jizhou army to pieces.
Xuzhou was massacred once by Cao Cao. The walls of places to the west, such as Pengcheng and other places, had not been repaired and there was not enough population. After Ju Yi led his army to attack, Liu Bei simply gave up on the west and withdrew his main force.
When we arrived at the Xiapi area, we prepared to fight a defensive counterattack here.
When the armies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao merged together before, even with Liu Bei's ability, he had to temporarily avoid their front. This avoidance led him directly to Xiapi.
While Chen Cheng was still testing each other with Cao Cao's army, Xu Rong had already advanced rapidly, from Puyang to the vicinity of Juancheng. After repelling Liu Bei's army, Qingzhou Mu Gaogan was ordered to capture Dongjun.
More than 10,000 soldiers and horses were killed. Everyone in the world focused their attention on Chen Cheng, but they did not expect Xu Rong to arrive so quickly, so they were caught off guard.
Lu Bu took the lead in charging into the battle, and more than 10,000 Yuan's troops were easily defeated. They fled eastward for forty miles, and only after reuniting with the high-ranking cadre's troops and horses, they stabilized their pace. Then Xu Rong arrived with the main force, and the two sides
There was a big battle near Fan County. The fighting started around 11 a.m. and lasted until around 4 p.m.
Xu Rong used his troops like a god, smashing the troops of Gao Gan, killing and capturing more than ten thousand people. Gao Gan took the remaining defeated soldiers with him and retreated to Qingzhou. Zang Bajun, who was holding on to Mount Tai, took the opportunity to break out and cut off the retreat of Gao Gan's army. After a melee,
Gao Gan escaped with more than a thousand cavalry, and his army was completely defeated.
Zang Ba's army then took the opportunity to invade Qingzhou and other places, and robbed many of the cities that had just been recaptured by Gao Gan.
At this time, Chen Cheng had led his troops to Yongqiu and settled in the city that was massacred by Cao Jun. Yongqiu was Zhang Chao's hometown. Zhang Menggao heard that after his brother Zhang Miao committed suicide, his family members were also killed by Cao Cao.
Therefore, he led and resisted Cao Cao for a long time.
Since Cao Jun returned to Yanzhou, brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao had resisted the most fiercely. Therefore, Cao Cao did not keep his promise. After Zhang Miao's death, he slaughtered his family members. After Yongqiu was captured, Cao Cao
He also ordered the massacre of everyone in the city, and sent troops and horses to the countryside to arrest the in-laws of the Zhang family, and annihilated the three Zhang family clans.
When Chen Cheng led his troops over, the corpses inside and outside the city had not yet been cleaned up. It was he who ordered the soldiers to dig several large pits outside the city, and then they buried all the rotten and maggot-infested corpses.
Get up. After working hard for a few days, there is still a strong smell of corpses in the city, reminding people of the brutal things that happened here.
While Chen Cheng's army stayed in Yongqiu, Cao Cao led his army to Xiangyi. Like Yongqiu, Xiangyi was a city built on the edge of a river. Therefore, it was rich in products and had a large population, and could easily obtain food and grass supplies.
Cao Cao has always been worried about the fact that he was defeated by Chen Chengzhou two years ago and had to flee to Yuzhou incognito. Although he didn't say it, it didn't mean that he was relieved. When he was in Yuzhou, Cao Cao knew that
One day, he will meet Chen Cheng again.
Both sides have the ambition to annex the world, and both have extraordinary abilities and skills, so fighting is unavoidable. In order to deal with Chen Cheng, Cao Cao has collected a lot of information about Chen Cheng in the past two years, from his military style to his political philosophy.
, from ordinary words to how many concubines he married and how many women he had, Cao Cao knew everything.
In fact, Cao Cao even tried every means to obtain many books on "Chen Xue". While running the army and managing the people, he assiduously studied these new knowledge. Moreover, he not only studied it himself, but also promoted it vigorously under the rule of Yuzhou and sent it to
He took a set to Yecheng and asked his sons to learn it.
When he was in Luoyang, Chen Cheng once thought about working with Boss Cao, but Cao Cao refused at that time. You can't just say you want to work together, right? There must be an assessment process, assessment
After the trial, there is a trial, and only after the trial is completed can we get to the main topic.
But who would have thought that within a few days, Chen Cheng would fight with He Jin with several thousand Yueqi battalions. After that, this guy ran away directly to Xiliang. At that time, Cao Cao felt that people like Chen Cheng had gone everywhere.
Xiliang, who is a rebel, will definitely cause many things.
As expected, Chen Cheng soon conquered the heroes of Xiliang, marched into Guanzhong, captured Sili and Bingzhou, and finally repeated the deed of "the overlord of Chu defeated the emperor of Han Dynasty" in Pengcheng.
After such a long period of research, Cao Cao understood Chen Cheng's character better than most people in the world, and what Chen Cheng was thinking and preparing to do. Now, Chen Cheng finally came out of Guanzhong with his army.
Already.
Cao Cao is fully prepared to pick up his shattered reputation in the land of Yanzhou!
Although the Overlord is brave, he still has to be surrounded by Gaixia!
Every important city in Yuzhou has been guarded by generals. As long as Chen Cheng is defeated on the frontal battlefield, the temporary harassment to Yuzhou is not worth mentioning. As long as he wins in Yanzhou, Chen Cheng can only retreat to Guanzhong!
The question is, can it be won?
Cao Cao said confidently: "Of course we can win!"
He confidently told his generals and counselors: "There will be five dangers. Chen Chengzheng committed the last one, which is why he will fail! Of course, the war may last for a long time. But as long as they are defeated, everything will be over."
