Three Kingdoms

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

Is the moon in Chang'an City more beautiful?

Xing Yong doesn't know, but he knows that, handsome or not, he is a stranger in a foreign land...

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 who died in Youzhou.

Tian Chou said that only Liu Yu was a qualified monarch in the world, but Liu Yu did not have that kind of luck, and neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao were good monarchs.

Fei Qian may be half...

Tian Chou was disheartened and did not want to be an official anymore. Moreover, after this incident in Yingchuan, he was even more disappointed with the people of Jizhou.

Tian Chou and Xing Yong ran several times to warn some nobles and powerful people in Jizhou, telling them that they needed to prepare early. Whether they were preparing to deal with Cao Cao or preparing to deal with Fei Qian, they should make early plans to welcome new changes, but soon It's a pity that most of the Jizhou nobles and rightists think that Tian Chou and Xing Yong are alarmist, or think that they can deal with it and don't need Tian Chou and Xing Yong to talk too much.

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

Therefore, Tian Chou recommended Xing Yong to come to Chang'an and gave Xing Yong a letter. The letter was for Tian Yu. After all, although Tian Chou and Tian Yu were not from the same family, they had a relationship, which was somewhat 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 moment and did not follow him to Longxi. Instead, he stayed in Chang'an. After all, the lectures at Qinglong Temple attracted him so much...

Then Xing Yong suddenly felt that during the day-by-day listening and discussion, Duke Zhou came to life, and people from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period stood up. In the early Han Dynasty, people from the Guangwu Period also came, quarreling with each other, and spitting. , filled with smoke.

It turns out that Xianzhou is actually very close.

Then Xing Yong had an inexplicable feeling. The world seemed to be repeating itself? 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 briefly settled in Luoyang, 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 that he had such thoughts...

……Σ（дlll）……

Desert.

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

Zhao Yun sat up. He had a dream, about 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 broken out at some point.

Ice cold.

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

An old friend from Montenegro.

One of the former leaders of the Montenegrin Army.

Luo Hu.

Luo Hu went to Yanzhou that year, but was defeated and hid in the mountains and forests. When he came out after recovering from his injuries, he heard the news of the destruction of Heishan.

Then Luo Hu's belief collapsed...

Luo Hu dismissed his only soldiers and subordinates, and then returned to the mountains and forests and became a hunter. Until some time ago, he heard the news about Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was actually very happy to see Luo Hu. After all, in the past few years, Zhang Yan has died, Baique has also died, and most of the people in Black Mountain are gone. The arrival of Luo Hu reminded Zhao Yun of the relatively innocent time in Black Mountain.

It is simply to survive and to lead everyone to live a better life.

However, after a brief happy reunion, it eventually turned into a sour separation.

The quarrel started when Luo Hu said that Fei Qian was also a bastard...

Zhao Yun doesn't think so. He thinks that Fei Qian has at least done something for the people. Under Fei Qian's governance, the three assistants in Guanzhong have other places, and even the soldiers under his command are treated very well and live a good life. .

But Luo Hu sneered and scolded Fei Qian as a hypocritical bastard who was just trying to gain fame, and he also had his reasons. If what Zhao Yun said was right, then why didn't Fei Qian end the war as soon as possible? Why not fight against Cao Cao? Why do you have to let the Han Dynasty divide things so that the entire Han Dynasty has to face continuous local wars?

Could it be that Fei Qian felt that the Han Dynasty 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 other intentions and wants to become the king himself and wants the Emperor of Han Dynasty to die!

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

Later, Luo Hu even scolded Zhao Yun. He said that he thought Zhao Yun was still the floating cloud of the past, but now it seems that Zhao Yun is no longer from Montenegro. It would be better not to meet each other than to meet him! It is estimated that Zhao Yun has forgotten all about the concept of ensuring that the people can live a good life, so he does not bother to be with Zhao Yun anymore, he would rather go back to the mountains and forests.

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

But the questions left by Luo Hu were stuck in Zhao Yun's heart.

Yes, why?

The Cavalry General's current strength is not impossible for him to fight!

Does it really mean that after Cao Cao and the Emperor are killed, a new king can be established as a matter of course, or...

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

Zhang Yan's blood-stained face and the things Zhang Yan forced onto him were just like the questions Luo Hu shoved into his heart.

It was still bright, and outside the tent was the military camp.

The former Black Mountain leader was now the fake Grand Protector of the Northern Territory Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.

A new edict has been issued.

The edict from the Western Shang Shu Desk...

Zhao Yun couldn't help but fell silent again when he thought of this. Why didn't he feel any discomfort when he received this edict before? As a fake protector, at that time I just thought that I would be able to remove the word "fake" in two years!

To the military academies and civil servants in the army, he was decisive and majestic. To the ordinary craftsmen and people under his command, he was also humble and courteous. He lived in the military camp and got up earlier than ordinary soldiers every day. He even treated everyone A soldier who saluted him returned the salute. Here, he was the poster child for everyone, the core of everyone, the false guardian that everyone could trust and rely on.

The strong and strict self-discipline made him lose weight and become more resolute.

However, in Zhao Yun's own heart, he suddenly realized that he could not find anything to rely on. Because he felt that what Luo Hu said seemed to make some sense, and at least there were some things that Zhao Yun could not answer or explain.

General Hussar, why don't you attack Shandong? Others may not know about military affairs and cannot feel the power gap between Shandong and Shanxi, but Zhao Yun can. He can even assert that even without sending a single soldier from Guanzhong, he can lead Youbei's cavalry and at least disrupt the northern part of Jizhou. Everything is turned upside down!

If we cooperate with Shangdang Taiyuan's infantry, it is not impossible to directly attack Yecheng.

So is Prime Minister Cao so invincible?

Or...

Zhao Yun suddenly felt a little cold.

In the distance, the wind howled.

……!?(_;?)……

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 that had been dormant for many years.

After that night, the power struggle was like an anxious undercurrent, spreading out with Xu County as the center.

Just like Luoyang back then, it also looks like Chang'an.

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

The Cao family and the Xiahou family got the largest portion of the fat, and the surviving Yingchuan people divided the rest. The rest of the people in Jizhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, etc. also got some pink and tender pieces of meat and assigned their respective areas. and interests.

When Liu Xie looked at it, it seemed that it took almost no time to determine their respective shares, and they chose to forget those who died in a tacit understanding.

What fell, fell like this.

Those who die, just die.

Just like Liu Xie's imperial brother, Liu Bian.

Liu Xie knew that after Cao Cao killed him, he immediately summoned some people from Yingchuan and expressed frankly that they must unite to fight against Shanxi, otherwise they would have to 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 or forget the blood shed. Anyway, Liu Xie himself couldn't believe Cao Cao, and he couldn't forget the tragic and terrifying events. night.

In fact, Liu Xie may not be able to see the whole incident. He even doesn't know whether Cao Cao and Yingchuan have made peace or not. But he was once again stimulated by the blood in front of him. He was under Chang'an City from then on. The flower blooming in the sky, and the pool of blood fainting under the city, those things that seemed to have been forgotten, actually still existed in his mind, and were stirred up again.

Liu Xie believed that with the death of Yingchuan Haoyou, who mainly resisted Cao Cao, and the clear threat of Guanzhong Feiqian, coupled with Xun Yu's reconciliation as the leader of Yingchuan, in the face of the fait accompli, and The surrounding forces were watching eagerly, and the Yingchuan nobles who had been slashed did not choose to retaliate wildly...

Why is this happening?

Just like when Liu Xie learned about Liu Bian's death, he cried a few times and cursed a few times, but did not think about dying with Dong Zhuo.

Based on the successful negotiations and the tacit understanding formed out of necessity, each family is currently struggling to take in the money, items, estates, real estate, etc. left by the deceased and the family.

Yuzhou is no longer the only place where people come from Yingchuan, but now there are many people from other places.

Why not keep fighting? I was powerless back then, and the remaining people in Yingchuan were also powerless to resist?

Liu Xie sat on the throne, constantly thinking about this question in his mind.

why?

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

As long as it's not him who dies, can he put down the bloody knife so easily? Also, since Cao Cao had the ability to directly kill so many people in Yingchuan, why didn't he kill himself as well? If you just make up one, you don't even have to make it up, and just say that you push down the rebels, can't you kill Liu Xie himself just like you killed Liu Bian back then?

So, why didn't Cao Cao take action?

Did Cao Cao not dare?

Just like when Dong Zhuo's Zhongxing Sword didn't strike him, but struck the table in the Imperial Ancestral Temple? Just a warning?

Or, ridicule?

If Cao Cao was a loyal minister, then were those who were killed treacherous ministers and traitors? Does the one who dies deserve to die? If not, then who is Cao Cao?

What do you think you are?

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

Liu Xie sat on the throne, with countless question marks swirling in his heart. His face was pale in the darkness, as if he had lost all his blood, like the Han Dynasty flag that had completely faded after three or four hundred years of use.

……щ(Дщ)……

There was also fighting on the other side, in Jiangdong.

A banging sound resounded on the city wall, and the rocks and blood on the ground shook.

Amidst the panicked shouts, figures shook.

Within a few days, Sun Lang gathered a large number of troops from nowhere. The counties and counties along the way did not dare to send troops to resist and huddled in the city, allowing Sun Lang to directly attack 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 attack.

In the three directions of Wujun's east, west and north, the entire front launched attacks almost simultaneously. Because the preparation time was not long, the only tools used to attack the city were bows, arrows, ladders, etc. However, under the large-scale feint attack, Sun Lang chose two points as a breakthrough point, relying on his own bravery and the strength of the death squads to defeat Wu Jun's city. The defenders posed a great threat.

Sun Lang, who looked exactly like Sun Jian, put on armor and stood on the front line, even fighting fiercely with arrows. Almost all the Sun soldiers who were defending Wujun subconsciously avoided Sun Lang's direction, causing Sun Lang's attack to He almost succeeded in one fell swoop. If Sun Quan and his personal guards had not fought hard on the city wall, the city would have been destroyed!

Why is this happening?

Why was Sun Lang able to attack here?

Why is the defense in Wujun City so weak?

Why is there no movement from the surrounding people?

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

Sun Quan had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, didn't want to admit it, and 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 venue. Nuo people wore ferocious masks and held weapons, dancing under the light of torches, jumping to drive away epidemics and drive away evil spirits that harm human beings.

But I don’t know whether this plague evil spirit 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 slightly. Then Sun Lang made a slight adjustment and sent a new group of soldiers to attack on the north wall. The selected point was just right. It was for the purpose of defending the west that some manpower was removed from the weak points.

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

Such siege tactics are never surprising and have nothing new, but they are very useful. So much so that when some scholars see such siege tactics, they will definitely look down upon them, saying that there is no point in it and that there is nothing new at all. But in reality, although the city defenders have a convenient location, as the defender, they need to defend all points on the city wall. It is like a tight rubber band that will be pulled from time to time, and the siege army on the other side will Just select a few places and apply pressure repeatedly, and the surrounding forces will be attracted unknowingly. Those with a little experience will be in a hurry, exposing weak points, which will become a breakthrough for the siege party to storm the city.

On the city wall, Sun Quan saw Sun Lang's men brazenly attacking the north wall, his hands and feet feeling a little cold. After all, Emperor Sun had eaten military meals for a few days. Although he was not a soldier, and he may not have made much progress in military force, he at least knew some key points. When he saw that the momentum was not right, he shouted loudly and led his men again. 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 Sun brothers killing each other? !

While commanding his soldiers to resist the attack, Sun Quan shouted loudly in his heart, cursed crazily, and threw angry eye darts at Sun Lang below the city. If the eye dart was lethal, Sun Lang would probably have holes all over his body right now.

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

The sky was dark and there were flying sand and rocks.

The beacon smoke fills the air.

"Lord...let's make peace..."

The confidant guard beside Sun Quan said, of course, only he is qualified to say so. He is a "third generation guard", the core guard left from Sun Jian's time. If others say this, I am afraid that Sun Quan will already Stabbed him with a knife.

Even so, Sun Quan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword, "Why?" Someone has the advantage! 』

"My lord, don't you see?" "The captain of the guard pointed to the city and said, "He doesn't really want to capture Wu County... He is forcing you to make a fool of yourself... and others are also waiting for you to make a fool of yourself..."

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

The captain of the guard smiled bitterly. Why do you think you have to fight if you can? Why do you think you can win if you can win? Even if you really win, what will you get? Is it honorable to kill your own brother? But he really couldn't say such words, and he had reached his limit in persuading Sun Quan to negotiate peace. Even if he is not well versed in history, he knows that sometimes fighting does not necessarily mean fighting, and retreating does not necessarily mean losing. But Sun Quan has been reading history books and reading Spring and Autumn Periods all day long, and 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, flying the banner of the Zhou family...

Although the number of people is not large, it means that Zhou Yu has arrived.

The entire battlefield suddenly seemed to be quiet.

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