Although Niu Fu's army was short of financial resources, they still delayed Ge Zhao's army for a period of time by relying on the natural danger of Tongguan. After suppressing Tongguan and repairing it, and on the eve of regrouping to attack Hangu Pass, Ge Zhaodu was shocked to be notified that Niu Fu's army was destroyed by Cao Cao's army.
Ge Zhaodu was stunned when he heard the news. How could Niu Fujun be finished so quickly? He holds Luoyang, which was once the most prosperous, with Hangu Pass in the west and Hulao Pass in the east. The enemy he faces is Cao Cao's army who is also suffering from poverty and fatigue.
After inquiring through the console, I learned that the general at Hulao Pass was persuaded to surrender by Cao Cao's army, and he surrendered this natural danger without any blood, allowing Cao Cao's army, led by Xia Houchun, to attack Luoyang.
Jia Xu, who was under Luoyang City, rebelled early and contacted the old officials loyal to the Han Dynasty. Before Niu Fujun could react, he opened the city gate and let the army led by Xia Houchun enter Luoyang.
It was night at this time, and Niu Fu was caught off guard and attacked by Xia Houchun. His head was beheaded without a fierce battle, and his men quickly dispersed.
Then Xiahou Dun did not stop, but took advantage of the information gap to send out troops again, disguised as Niu Fujun troops and quickly captured Hangu Pass, and then began to pursue the remnants of Niu Fujun in the nearby towns of Luoyang.
This is really a shame. Ge Zhao was the MVP in terms of contribution, but he was killed by Cao Cao's army.
After conquering Niu Fujun, Cao Cao's army quickly sent envoys to Ge Zhaojun, hoping to peacefully coexist with Ge Zhaojun to ensure the security of the Western Front.
Ge Zhao, who felt like he was being picked off, rejected this proposal and stationed an army in Tongguan, for no other reason than to disgust Cao Cao's army.
You must know that Hangu Pass is the passage to Luoyang. Ge Zhao's army here cannot conquer it, but as long as they are stationed in Tongguan, Cao Cao's army must send troops to deal with it.
What's more, although Cao Cao's army destroyed Niu Fu's army at this time, it still suffered heavy losses. Facing threats from Yuan Shu's army and Tao Qian's army in the east, Cao Cao's army would not dare to take the initiative to provoke as long as he did not take action. This was disgusting enough.
So in the following time, Ge Zhaodu's strategy towards the East was to sit back and watch the success or failure. Defending Tongguan was enough to guard against the army in this direction.
As for the direction of the main development, it is in the south. Hanzhong is the throat leading to Guanzhong. If this land is not captured, it will be difficult for Ge Zhaodu to ensure the stability of his basic base.
Therefore, after the repairs, Ge Zhaodu raised an army to go south. Hanzhong controlled by Zhang Lu was quickly conquered. Liu Yan's army took this opportunity to launch a northern expedition. However, not only was it defeated by Ge Zhaodu, but Baishui Pass was also lost, causing Ge Zhao's army to be formed instead. Liu Yanjun's suppression.
During this period, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army developed independently.
The arrogant Yuan Shu army was divided between Cao Cao's army and Liu Biao's army. All the richest land in the Central Plains fell into the hands of Cao Cao's army, and Tao Qian's army was squeezed into the coastal areas of Qilu.
Yuan Shao's army wiped out all the princes in Hebei. Gongsun Yuan's army lost Ji, leaving only Xiangping in a remote area to survive.
By 199, when Yuan Shao basically controlled Hebei and Cao Cao controlled the Central Plains, the decisive battle of Guandu came as scheduled and still ended with the victory of Cao Cao's army. However, in order to win this battle, Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses and did not annex much territory. It can be said to be exhausting.
How could Ge Zhaodu sit back and watch such a good opportunity slip away? It happened that Yuan Shaojun also sent an envoy to request an alliance, so Ge Zhaodu went down the Yellow River, bypassed the natural dangers of Hangu Pass, captured Luoyang, and started a war with Cao Cao's army.
Yuan Shaojun also knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so even though he had just suffered a disastrous defeat and the rebellion in the territory had not been completely suppressed, he tried his best to plunder the place to raise a large army and cooperate with Ge Zhaojun to attack Cao Cao's army.
Under attack from both sides, Cao Cao's army retreated steadily. By 202, even the city was lost, leaving only a few annexes hanging on.
At this time, the Xuzhou incident involving Tao Qian had already occurred. Liu Bei's power stretched from Qilu to the north bank of the Yangtze River and could be said to be the dominant force in the east. So Cao Cao's army took the initiative to merge with Liu Bei's army and moved Han Xiandi to Xiaopei, the capital of Liu Bei's army.
Ge Zhao did not continue to pursue Liu Bei's army, but turned his attention to Yuan Shao's army. After Yuan Shao's death in 202, the Yuan family split into four forces. Gongsun Yuan's army took the opportunity to form an alliance and went south. Ge Zhaodu also marched to beat out his claws that had penetrated the Central Plains.
Liu Bei's army naturally knew the meaning of death, so he sent troops to attract firepower for the Yuan family. Unfortunately, his forces were unable to stop Ge Zhaodu's advance. After unifying the Central Plains, he turned to attack Liu Bei's army, and finally conquered it in 205 and captured Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
After the autumn harvest of the same year, Ge Zhaodu went north to wipe out the remnants of the Yuan family. Then it was Gongsun Yuan's army who took the opportunity to devour Youyan and was unlucky. In the end, the north was unified by Ge Zhaodu in 206.
The continuous wars over the years have brought a heavy burden to the territory. Fortunately, Ge Zhaodu's core area of Guanzhong was not lost. Even Liu Zhang's army's two northern expeditions were fruitless. Controlling Hanzhong meant grabbing the throat of Shu.
After a year of rest and recuperation, Ge Zhao sent his army southward after the autumn harvest in 207. Within a year, Liu Biao's army had to surrender and began to march further south after the autumn harvest in 209.
The degree of land development in the south is very low, so the resistance of the separatist princes is negligible. The biggest trouble for Ge Zhaodu is not this group of warlords, but the long walk and the constant appearance of bandits. It is precisely because of these two factors that Ge Zhaodu needs to spend 5 It took two years to sweep from Jiangxia to Jiaozhi and unify the south.
There is a setting for bandits in "Three Kingdoms". The lower the security in an area, the more likely it is that bandits will appear, or bandits will appear if they are incited by hostile forces.
Ge Zhaodu sent troops to fight local subversive forces. Such behavior would lead to a serious decline in public security. Bandits and bandits were rampant in the past few years during Ge Zhaodu's crusade against the south. Logistics were often robbed, forcing Ge Zhaodu's army to stop marching and wait for supplies. Seriously Slow down the speed of conquering the south.
Although "Three Kingdoms" has received high ratings, it does not mean that all systems are perfect. For example, except for a few idiot fans, players unanimously agree that the thieves and bandit forces are extremely perfunctory.
In this version, bandits will be divided into bandits, bandits, barbarians, Qiang people, Xiongnu and other forces according to different regions. These forces are only different in name. Their appearance will further reduce regional security and then disappear. , and there is no special system to distinguish them.
But when Ge Zhaodu was marching and fighting, he found that bandits with different names actually attacked each other. More than once, he saw bandits rob and defeat the army.
After the south was also pacified by Ge Zhaodu, only the land of Shu was still divided by Liu Zhang's army. As the saying goes, "Shu will be in chaos before the world is in chaos, and the world is in peace before Shu is in peace."
Before sending troops, Ge Zhaodu deposed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He chose "Zhou" as the new name of his country and made Chang'an the capital.
After the autumn harvest in 216, Ge Zhaodu sent out troops in two directions, all the way from Hanzhong to Zitong, and all the way upstream through the waterway to seize Jiangzhou.
There is nothing to say about the process of the crusade. Liu Zhang's army was able to survive purely by virtue of its remote location until it was destroyed in early 218. At this point, the world was unified and the "Three Kingdoms" ended.
With the end of this archive, Ge Zhaodu logged into Tenglong's official website to update his comments in the "Three Kingdoms" section. This time he mainly discussed the shortcomings:
"The most interesting part of the game is the starting stage. From the middle stage, it becomes boring and falls into a cliché. In addition, the thieves and bandits system is perfunctory and needs to be strengthened."
