Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2518 Why can't you fight?

   Xing Yong looked up at the moon over Chang'an City.

  Is the moon in Chang'an City more beautiful?

   Xing Yong is not clear, but he knows that no matter whether he is beautiful or not, he is a foreigner...

   Xing Yong came to Chang'an, but Tian Chou did not.

  Tian Chou was unwilling to come to Chang'an, because he said that whenever he thought of Chang'an, he would think of Wen Chou, and when he thought of Wen Chou, he would think of those people and things that died in Youzhou.

  Tian Chou said that only Liu Yu is a qualified monarch in the world, but Liu Yu does not have that kind of luck, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not good monarchs.

  Fei Qian may be half a…

   Tian Chou was disheartened and didn't want to be an official anymore, and after the Yingchuan incident this time, he was even more disappointed with the people in Jizhou.

Tian Chou and Xing Yong have traveled several times to warn some gentry and Haoyou in Jizhou that they need to prepare early. Whether it is preparing to deal with Cao Cao or preparing to deal with Fei Qian, they should plan early to meet new changes, but very soon It's a pity that most of the Jizhou gentry and Haoyou think that Tian Chou and Xing Yong are scaremongering, or think that they can deal with it, and there is no need for Tian Chou and Xing Yong to talk too much.

  The arrogance of Jizhou people does not seem to be completely eliminated because of Yuan Shao's death.

  So Tian Chou recommended Xing Yong to come to Chang'an, and gave Xing Yong a letter. The letter was for Tian Yu. After all, Tian Chou and Tian Yu were not in the same family back then, but they met once, which was kind of a favor.

  But when Xing Yong came, he found that Tian Yu was not in Chang'an at all.

  Tian Yu went to Longxi.

  Xing Yong hesitated for a while, and did not follow to Longxi, but stayed in Chang'an, after all, Qinglong Temple's grand theory attracted him too much...

Then Xing Yong suddenly felt that during the day-to-day listening and discussion, Duke Zhou came alive, people from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods stood up, and people from the Guangwu period in the early Han Dynasty also came, arguing with each other and spitting all over the place. , the smoke filled the air.

  It turns out that Xian Zhou is actually very close.

   Then Xing Yong had an inexplicable feeling that the world seemed to be repeating itself? Back then, the Western Zhou Dynasty defeated King Zhou, and then the Western Qin Dynasty defeated the Six Kingdoms. The Han Dynasty also occupied Guanzhong and later ruled Shandong. Although Emperor Guangwu settled in Luoyang for a short time, but now...

   Is this really a repeat?

  What kind of monarch does this world need?

   Is it the dead Liu Yu, or Cao Cao?

   Or Fei Qian?

   Xing Yong suddenly remembered that there was another emperor, Liu Xie, and suddenly felt inexplicably ashamed, his face turned red, and then he felt ashamed for having such an idea...

  …Σ(дlll)…

  Desert.

  The thick tent insulated from the cold outside, but it also made the air inside the tent a little dull.

  Zhao Yun sat up. He sat in a dream and dreamed of a person, whom he had forgotten for a long time.

   Now I wake up from the dream.

  Zhao Yun touched his forehead and found that some cold sweat had oozed out at some point.

   Ice cold.

  A few days ago, a person came to Zhao Yun.

  Old friend from Montenegro.

   Once one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Army.

  Luo Hu.

  Luo Hu went to Yanzhou back then, but was defeated and hid in the mountains. When he came out after he recovered from his injuries, he heard the news of the fall of Black Mountain.

   Then Luo Hu's faith collapsed...

  Luo Hu dismissed his only soldiers, and then returned to the mountains and became a hunter. Until a while ago, he heard the news of Zhao Yun.

  Zhao Yun was actually very happy to see Luo Hu. After all these years, Zhang Yan died, Bai Que also died, and most of the people in Montenegro were gone, but Luo Hu's arrival reminded Zhao Yun of the relatively simple years in Montenegro.

  It’s simply to survive, to lead everyone to live better.

  However, after a short reunion, it finally turned into a disagreement.

  The quarrel started when Luo Hu said that Fei Qian was also an asshole...

Zhao Yun thinks not. He thinks that Fei Qian at least still has something to do for the people. Under Fei Qian’s governance, Guanzhong Sanfu has other places, and even the soldiers under his command are treated well and live well. .

  But Luo Hu sneered, and scolded Fei Qian as a hypocritical **** who was trying to gain fame, and he also had his reasons, that is, if what Zhao Yun said was correct, then why didn't Fei Qian end the war as soon as possible? Why not fight Cao Cao, why do you want the big man to divide things so that the whole big man has to face continuous local wars?

   Could it be that Fei Qian felt that the big man did not fight enough? Why don't you want to end this troubled world? Therefore, Fei Qian is either incompetent and unable to rule the entire Han Dynasty, or he has a different heart and wants to become king himself, and wants the emperor of the Han Dynasty to die!

  Zhao Yun suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say...

  Afterwards, Luo Hu even scolded Zhao Yun. He said that he thought Zhao Yun was still the floating cloud in the past, but now it seems that Zhao Yun is no longer from Montenegro. It would be better not to see each other! It is estimated that Zhao Yun has forgotten the idea of ​​living a good life for the people back then, so he disdains to be with Zhao Yun again, and he would rather go back to the mountains and forests.

  Luo Hu refused anything Zhao Yun gave him, and left just like that.

  But the question left by Luo Hu got stuck in Zhao Yun's mind.

  Yeah, why?

  The current strength of the Hussar General is not impossible to fight!

   Could it be that after Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven are exhausted, a new king can be established as a matter of course, or...

  So, Zhao Yun dreamed of Zhang Yan in his dream.

  Zhang Yan's blood-stained face, and the things Zhang Yan forcefully forced on him, were like the questions that Luo Hu stuffed in his heart.

  It was still daylight, and outside the tent was the stretch of military camp.

  The leader of the Black Mountain in the past is now the fake chief protector of the Northern Region Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.

  The new edict has been issued.

  The edict of Xishangshutai...

   Zhao Yun couldn't help but fell silent again when he thought of this. When he received this edict before, why didn't he feel any discomfort? At that time, I just thought that I could get rid of the word "false" in two years!

He is decisive and majestic to the military academies and civil servants in the army, and he is also humble and polite to the ordinary craftsmen and people under him. He lives in the barracks and wakes up earlier than ordinary soldiers every day. A soldier who saluted him returned the salute. Here, he was everyone's role model, everyone's core, and everyone's trustworthy and dependable fake chief protector.

  Intense and demanding self-discipline made him thinner and more formidable.

  However, in Zhao Yun's heart, he suddenly found that he couldn't find anything to rely on. Because he felt that what Luo Hu said seemed to have some truth, at least there were some things that Zhao Yun couldn't answer or explain.

  General Hussars, why don't you attack Shandong? Others may not know the military and cannot feel the power gap between Shandong and Shanxi, but Zhao Yun can do it. He can even assert that even if he doesn't need to send a single soldier from Guanzhong, he can bring the cavalry from Youbei to at least disrupt the northern part of Jizhou. Turned upside down!

  If it is cooperating with Shangdang Taiyuan's pawns, it is not impossible to directly attack Yecheng.

  So Prime Minister Cao is so invincible?

   or…

   Zhao Yun suddenly felt a little cold.

  In the distance, the wind howls.

  …!?(_;?)…

  Xu County.

   Chongde Hall.

  Emperor Liu Xie basically didn't show up after that night.

   That night was cold, crazy and bloody.

   Awakened the memory of Emperor Liu Xie who had been sleeping for many years.

  After that night, the power struggle spread out from the center of Xu County like an undercurrent of anxiety.

  It's like Luoyang back then, and it's like Chang'an.

  The dead are already dead, but the survivors are greedily eating.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family got the biggest ointment, and the surviving Yingchuan people divided up the rest, and the rest of the people in Jizhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou also got some pink and tender meat, and assigned their respective areas of responsibility with interest.

  Looking at Liu Xie, it seems that it didn't take long, and it seemed that their respective shares had been determined, and they tacitly chose to forget those who died.

   Those who fell from power fell down just like that.

   Those who died, died just like that.

   It's like Liu Xie's elder brother, Liu Bian.

  Liu Xie knew that after Cao Cao's painful killing, he immediately summoned some people from Yingchuan, and expressed openly and honestly that they must unite to fight against Shanxi, otherwise they would only face death.

Liu Xie didn't know what Cao Cao said when he summoned them, and he didn't know whether the remaining people would believe Cao Cao and forget the blood that flowed. Anyway, Liu Xie couldn't believe Cao Cao, nor could he forget the tragic and terrifying night.

In fact, Liu Xie may not be able to see all the incidents. He even didn't know whether Cao Cao and Yingchuan had made peace or not, but he was once again stimulated by the blood in front of him. The flower that bloomed in the sky, and the pool of blood that fainted under the city, those things that seemed to have been forgotten, actually still remained in his mind, and they were stirred up again.

Liu Xie thought that with the death of Yingchuan Haoyou, who mainly resisted Cao Cao, and the clear threat of Guan Zhongfeiqian, coupled with Xun Yu's conciliation as the leader of Yingchuan, in the face of fait accomplis, and The Yingchuan gentry who were slashed by the surrounding forces did not choose to retaliate wildly...

  Why is this happening?

   It's like when Liu Xie found out about Liu Bian's death, he just cried a few times and cursed a few times, and didn't think about dying with Dong Zhuo.

  Based on the successful negotiation and the tacit understanding formed as a last resort, every household is currently struggling to eat the money, items, manors, real estate, etc. left by the dead and the family.

  Yuzhou is no longer the Yuzhou of Yingchuan people, but now there are many people from other places.

  Why don't you keep fighting? I was powerless back then, but the rest of the Yingchuan people also had no power to resist?

  Sitting on the throne, Liu Xie kept circling this question in his mind.

why?

  When Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, why didn't the Shandong Allied Forces come in? Now, Cao Cao has killed so many people, why don't these people fight? Why can you still sit down and eat meat together, and you can share a piece and I share a piece so harmoniously?

   As long as it's not death, can you put down the **** knife so easily? Also, since Cao Cao has the ability to directly kill so many people from Yingchuan, why didn't he kill himself along the way? Just fabricate one, even if you don't even need to fabricate it, just say that you overthrow the thieves, wouldn't you be able to kill Liu Xie just like you killed Liu Bian back then?

  So, why didn't Cao Cao do it?

  Did Cao Cao dare not?

   It's like Dong Zhuo's ZTE sword didn't cut on himself, but on the Taimiao table? Just for warning?

   Or, ridicule?

  If Cao Cao is a loyal minister, are those who were killed treacherous ministers? The one who died deserved to die? If not, then what is Cao Cao?

  What is he?

  The key point is, what is he in the eyes of Cao Cao, in the eyes of Fei Qian, in the eyes of the ministers, and in the eyes of the common people in the Han Dynasty?

  Liu Xie sat on the throne, with countless question marks hovering in his heart, his face was pale in the darkness, as if he had lost all blood color, like the Han flag that had completely faded after being used for three or four hundred years.

  …щ(Дщ)…

   On the other hand, there was also a fight, in Jiangdong.

  The sound of "bang" hit the city wall, and the stones and blood on the ground shook.

  Amidst the panicked shouts, the figure shook.

   Within a few days, Sun Lang summoned a large number of troops from nowhere. The counties and counties along the way did not dare to send troops to resist, and they all huddled in the city, so that Sun Lang was able to directly approach Wu County!

   As far as siege warfare is concerned, Sun Lang's attack would seem extremely hasty, but Sun Lang still chose such a direct attack.

   Crazy, desperate offense.

  In the east, west, and north directions of Wu County, the entire front launched an attack almost simultaneously. Because the preparation time was not long, only bows, arrows, ladders, etc. were used to attack the city. However, under the large-scale feint attack, Sun Lang chose two points as a breakthrough point. The defenders posed a great threat.

Sun Lang, who resembled Sun Jian, put on armor and stood on the front line, or even fought fiercely with arrows, the old Sun soldiers who were defending in Wu County almost subconsciously avoided Sun Lang's direction, making Sun Lang's attack Almost succeeded in one fell swoop, if Sun Quan hadn't brought his personal guards to fight **** the city wall, the city would have been broken!

  Why is this happening?

  Why did Sun Lang get here?

  Why is the defense in Wu County so weak?

  Why are the surrounding people silent?

  Countless thoughts, countless reasons rose in Sun Quan's mind, and then jumped out one by one.

  Sun Quan had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, he didn't want to admit it, and he was even afraid to really think about it and find out the answer.

  Sun Quan felt that Wu County was like a large-scale Nuo dance place. The Nuo people wore hideous masks, held weapons, and danced under the light of torches, jumping to drive away the epidemic and drive away the evil spirits that endanger human beings.

   It's just that they don't know whether the evil plague is Sun Lang or Sun Quan himself.

The ferocious siege and fighting lasted for about half an hour. After reaching the peak, it fell back a little. Then Sun Lang adjusted a little, and sent a new team of soldiers to attack the north wall. The selected point was just right. In order to defend the west, some weak points of manpower were transferred.

  At the same time, Sun Lang also launched a feint on the east and west sides.

  Siege tactics like this are never surprising or innovative, but they work well. So much so that some scholars will definitely dismiss such siege tactics when they see such a siege tactic, saying that there is no point in it, and there is nothing new about it. But in reality, although the defenders occupy a convenient location, as the defender, they need to defend all the points on the city wall, just like a tight rubber band, which will be pulled from time to time, and the siege army on the other side Just select a few places and apply pressure repeatedly, and the surrounding forces will be attracted to them unconsciously. Those with a little bit of experience will be in a hurry, exposing weak points, and becoming a breakthrough for the attacking party to attack and ascend the city.

  On the city wall, Sun Quan saw Sun Lang's men blatantly attacking the north wall, his hands and feet were a little cold. At any rate, Emperor Sun also ate the meals of the army for a few days. Although he is not considered a soldier, and he may not have much improvement in military strength, he at least understands some key points. He hurried to the north wall in an attempt to put out the fire.

why why!

  Why did it become what it is today?

  Why are the Sun family members, and the Sun brothers are killing each other? !

  While commanding the soldiers to resist the attack, Sun Quan shouted loudly in his heart, cursed frantically, and threw angry eye darts at Sun Lang under the city. If the eye darts had lethal power, Sun Lang would be covered in holes all over his body right now.

   Fortunately, Sun Lang's soldiers were not as elite as the old Sun soldiers around Sun Quan after all, and his offensive momentum was thwarted again.

  The sky is dark, flying sand and rocks.

   Beacon smoke filled the air.

  『My lord... let’s talk about peace...』

The confidant guard next to Sun Quan said, of course, he is the only one who is qualified to say that, he is the "three generations of guards", the core guards left over from Sun Jian's time, if someone else said that, Sun Quan might have already Stabbed it with a knife.

   Even so, Sun Quan couldn't help but squeezed his long sword tightly, "Why? A certain advantage! 』

  『My lord, didn’t you see it? The chief guard pointed to the city and said, "He didn't think he was going to take down Jun Wu...he is forcing you to make a fool of yourself...and others are waiting for you to make a fool of yourself..."

  『…』 Sun Quan gritted his teeth and stared, "No, I can win! 』

  The chief guard smiled wryly. Why do you think you have to fight if you can fight? Why do you think you can win if you can win? Even if you really win, what can you get? Is it an honor to kill one's own brother? But this kind of words, he really can't say it, he has reached the limit of persuading Sun Quan to talk about peace. Even if he is not very familiar with history, he knows that sometimes it is not necessary to fight, and it is not necessarily a loss to retreat, and Sun Quan reads history books and reads with the Spring and Autumn all day long, but he still can't figure it out at this time?

   Fortunately, just when Sun Quan still insisted on continuing to fight, a small group of cavalry rushed from outside the battlefield, playing the banner of the Zhou family...

  Although there are not many people, it means that Zhou Yu has arrived.

  The entire battlefield suddenly seemed to quiet down.

  Sun Quan was overjoyed at first, but after the joy was over, anger rose in his heart...
