"The last general, Xia Houshang, has met Shangshu Ling!"
The general in the Caoxian camp at this time was Xiahou Shang, who was on the Eight Tiger Cavalry alongside Cao Ren, Cao Xiu and others. He was one of the more capable generals in the Cao Wei clan.
He said: "General Cao Ren is inspecting the city. The general ordered to cross the river, and the last general also followed the order!"
Xun You was a little anxious and said: "General Xiahou is also a rare good general in the world. Can't you see the danger of crossing the river at this time? If the Xia army's navy makes a surprise attack, how can our army survive?" Xiahou Shang's expression did not change much. When Cao Ren gave the order, he had already sent someone to give him Qi.
Obviously, Xiahou Shang agreed with Cao Ren.
Seeing his expression, Xun You couldn't help but feel a little angry, but the military power of the Dingtao camp was in the hands of Cao Ren and Xiahou Shang. As a minister, he sounded like the prime minister of a country, but in fact he could not interfere with the military power.
Woohoo!
Warning horns and thick smoke could be heard from the distant river.
Xun You, who was persuading Xia Houshang in the camp, heard the alarm and froze, instantly realizing what was about to happen.
"Xia Jun Navy, here we come!"
There was a hint of despair in his voice.
Xia Houshang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately flew to the high platform in the camp. He looked far toward the river in the distance, and saw that the small boat that Cao Jun had placed on guard outside was desperately rushing back.
Soon, a huge black warship appeared on the water in the distance.
Every battleship exudes an evil aura that would make ordinary people shudder.
"Why did Xia Jun's navy arrive so quickly?"
Xia Houshang screamed subconsciously.
When Cao Jun was stationed in Dingtao, he did not forget to send a large number of spies to lurk in Daxia to find out all kinds of useful information, such as the Xia army's garrison strength in a certain place. After a certain amount of effort, some information could still be obtained. of.
As far as he knew, most of the troops led by Han Xin went to Xingyang, and only a small number remained in Bianliang and Guide. As for Daxia... except for some troops stationed in Xuzhou, there seemed to be no others. .
Even the soldiers and horses stationed in Xuzhou were only tens of thousands and could not pose a threat to Cao Wei. At this time, Xia Houshang did not know that Wang Jing had recently wanted to take action against Cao Wei, so he ordered some elite soldiers to be transferred from various places, and also transferred the Jinling Navy.
The number of soldiers and horses stationed in Xuzhou has increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The Xia troops transferred to Xuzhou came in waves, and their marches were relatively hidden. The information obtained by Cao Ren and Xia Houshang was obviously very different from the real situation in Daxia.
The intelligence was incorrect, and their response immediately had huge consequences.
boom! boom! boom!
The Xia Army warship in the distance suddenly shot out a stream of red meteors, bombarding the Cao Army ferry that was crossing the river. These red meteors were all spiritual fire bombs used to attack the city.
If hit head-on, even a seventh-level Dharma general would be blown to pieces. The soldiers of Cao's army on the ferry looked at the fireball roaring in the air, and seemed to feel the blazing flames licking their faces, making chaotic roars.
Some of Cao's elite troops took off their armor and stomach weapons without hesitation, turned over and jumped into the water to take refuge.
next moment.
The fireball fell on the ferry, accompanied by a violent roar. The hit ferry and the hundreds of soldiers on board suddenly turned into ashes all over the sky, and only a small part of the wreckage fell into the water. Fire and thick smoke covered half of the water in an instant. Thousands of ferries crossing the river were bombarded, leaving them without the strength to fight back.
Cao's army was not dominated by naval forces. The ferries that transported soldiers were all merchant ships and fishing boats, and there were only a small number of warships. However, these few warships were like babies against strong men in front of the Xia army's giant ships.
Three consecutive waves of spiritual fire bombs destroyed most of the ferry boats on the river.
Then, more than a dozen five-toothed ships rushed to the front. The five-toothed ships were equipped with ramming horns and ran rampant, directly crushing and sinking the ferries one after another.
Looking at the scene on the water in the distance, Xia Houshang's face turned a little gray.
"General Xiahou, immediately gather troops for defense
Guard the camp... I see that the Xia army has many warships and must have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. They have blocked the ferry. The next step is to attack our camp! Xun You stepped forward quickly and shouted in a deep voice.
Xiahou Shang was awakened by these words, with a slight look of shame on his face. Without saying anything else, he immediately strode forward, drew his sword and shouted sternly, instructing his generals to defend.
Xun You frowned tightly, looking at the Xia Army warships in the distance and sighing secretly, hoping that the Xia Army navy coming this time did not have strong people in the heaven realm... If one appeared in the heaven realm, Cao Ying would be in danger.
Soon, after Xia Jun's warships scattered Cao Jun's ferry, some of the warships separated to pursue the scattered and fleeing ships, while the other part approached the ferry on the north bank.
As the distance approached, Xun You's expression suddenly changed, and he felt a powerful energy approaching in the distance.
The flag raised on one of the giant ships made Xun You shiver all over.
"It's Lord Xia's dragon flag! Lord Xia actually leads the troops himself, what a disaster!"
Boom boom!
The sound of war drums sounded loudly.
Lu Kang was directing the warship to approach, and when he was several hundred feet away from the ferry, he ordered another bombardment. Fire meteors appeared in the sky again, which made the Cao soldiers on the shore who were preparing to intercept change their expressions and collapse instantly.
The flames washed the ground, and some of Cao's soldiers were roasted by the flames, exuding a stomach-churning meaty aroma.
After defeating Cao Jun's soldiers and horses on the shore.
The Xia army's warships docked, and Yang Kan and Yang Dayan personally led their elite troops to land. The two generals each brought thousands of people ashore. Without waiting for all their soldiers to gather, they suddenly launched an attack on the Cao army camp in the distance.
quick!
Their speed was extremely fast and lightning-fast. The defense of Cao Jun's camp had just been prepared when two indomitable elites crashed into Cao Jun's camp.
Like the impact of a violent torrent, Cao Jun's camp, whose morale and morale was unstable, was constantly shaking, and its collapse was imminent.
"How dare you, thief general!"
Xia Houshang shouted loudly and held a long spear to attack.
"Quick victory, let's attack together!"
Yang Kan shouted loudly, and Yang Dayan, who attacked Cao Jun's camp with him, immediately agreed. Yang Kan and Yang Dayan have reached the ground level and are close to the peak. As long as you don't encounter a heavenly general, you can be invincible on the battlefield and conquer all odds.
boom! Yang Kan and Yang Dayan took action at the same time, and they rose into the air. One held a sculpture to block Xiahou Shang's counterattack, while the other waved his backhand, and the weapon emitted a sonic boom in the void, pointing directly at Xiahou Shang's chest.
Xia Houshang is one of the Eight Tiger Cavalry of Cao Wei, but his ability can only be said to be average among the ninth-level generals. He is no match for Yang Kan and Yang Dayan, let alone being flanked by the two. In less than three moves, Yang Kan exploded Xiahou Shang's body-protecting Qi and knocked him down.
After Xia Houshang fell to the ground, an elite general of the Xia army came to tie him up with a rope. Xia Houshang is no longer the backbone.
The camp of Cao's army in Caoxian County completely collapsed. The nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses left here were killed by thousands, and a total of 70,000 to 80,000 surrendered.
Cao Jun's camp is far away.
Xun You looked at the camp, which was being ravaged by the Xia army with flames everywhere. Especially when he saw the scene of 70,000 to 80,000 Cao troops surrendering one after another, his eyes became increasingly sad.
"Cao County's camp was destroyed, Cao Ren's troops were blocked on the south bank, and the great cause of Wei was destroyed in one day!"
Xun You could tell that even if Cao Cao returned to Qingzhou immediately at this time, he would not be able to save the overall situation.
The main force of Cao's army stationed in Dingtao was defeated. Cao Wei only had more than 100,000 ordinary soldiers left in Qingqi and other places. These soldiers could be used to maintain public order and exterminate some bandits and bandits. If they went to the battlefield, facing elite soldiers I can't stand a single face-to-face encounter.
Although Xun You relied on Cao Wei's Qi blessing, his life level transformed to reach the ninth level of heaven, and his cultivation level surpassed those famous officials whose abilities and reputation were above him.
After all, there are only a few famous ministers who can become the prime minister of a dynasty in the Chinese world. It is not surprising that he can become a heavenly being.
But Xun You's world follows the Confucian way of self-cultivation.
It's okay to protect one's body and life, but on the battlefield, the Confucian spirit of awe and military strategist he practiced
The aura of military evil is not in line with it, and it is impossible to show its majesty on the battlefield.
At this time, Xia Houshang was captured alive and Cao's army was defeated. Even with his heavenly cultivation, he could not turn defeat into victory.
not to mention.
This time Lord Xia personally led the troops.
"Go back to Qingzhou first! I hope Lord Xia will not take this opportunity to attack Qidi."
Xun You disappeared with worry.
Xun You's worries soon became reality.
Lu Kang commanded the navy to sink thousands of ferries, drowned and shot tens of thousands of Cao's troops, and the blood almost stained the river surface red. Xia Jun's warships began to block the waterway.
The soldiers of Cao's army who had already crossed the river could only watch helplessly as the Xia army's warships sailed across the river. From the surprise attack by the Xia army's warships to the defeat of Cao army's camp on the north bank, it only took more than half an hour.
Some generals of Cao's army were frightened and conveyed the news to Kaocheng as quickly as possible... However, even if the news reached Cao Ren's ears, it would have little effect.
After Cao Ren crossed the river, these soldiers and horses were already trapped on the south bank.
Of course, if Cao Ren dared to break his arms and give up his troops, it would not be difficult to cross the river and return to Qingzhou with his own strength.
"Lu Kang, I will leave you 50,000 elite troops to blockade the Yellow River and trap Cao Ren's troops on the south bank! Well, Cao Ren's general Gao Aocao is difficult to deal with, so let's do this, Feng Guoyong, Shi Dakai, Fang Jie! You guys! The three of them also stay.”
Before Lu Kang could report his gains, Wang Jing issued another order.
And left four generals at once.
Lu Kang and his father Lu Xun had similar cultivation levels. If it were a water battle, relying on Xia Jun's navy would be able to exert a strength close to that of the heavenly realm. Feng Guoyong, Shi Dakai and Fang Jie were all ninth-level powerhouses.
Gao Aocao of Cao's army was good at riding and shooting, but his military skills could not be used on the water. Four generals were able to stop him from joining forces with Cao Ren.
"The last general takes command!"
The three of them, Feng Guoyong, felt a little regretful. If they could follow Wang Jing to raid Qingzhou and capture the capital of Cao Wei, it would be the destruction of the country.
After gaining merit, his status in Daxia will change greatly. There is an opportunity to lead an army alone and take control of one side.
However, they quickly calmed down.
Staying here to assist Lu Kang also has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Cao Ren, Gao Aocao... If they can deal with these two powerful enemies, their contribution will not be small.
"Yang Kan, Yang Dayan, Zhang Hao, Wen Yang! Prepare your troops and follow me to raid Jinan!" Wang Jing said.
Among the remaining four generals who were named, Yang Kan had already achieved great success. Yang Dayan and Zhang Hao had been following Wang Jing for a long time. However, they were overpowered by many generals who later defected and only wanted to make great achievements. Feel proud.
The youngest Wen Yang, although he has not led an army in recent years, he has participated in many battles. In each battle, his terrifying talent has been continuously developed and realized.
The strength at this time is only half a step away from the qualitative change and breakthrough to the heavenly realm.
There were many famous ministers and generals in the early and middle periods of the Three Kingdoms, but in the later period, only Wen Yang could be called a fierce general. He single-handedly broke into the army and frightened Sima Shi into relapsing his old illness. He was comparable to Zhao Yunchang Banpo who entered and exited seven times.
It's a pity that in the world of Shenzhou, Wen Yang's favor from heaven is far inferior to that of Zhao Yun. It's only now that I've reached the threshold of heaven.
An hour later.
Yang Kan and Yang Dayan quickly organized their troops and set off again by boat with the personal guards led by Wang Jing.
After tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were left behind, the number of soldiers around Wang Jing was less than 80,000.
However, these 80,000 soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers.
Especially the 10,000 white-eared soldiers who serve as Wang Jing's personal bodyguards, forming a military formation is enough to shake the army's position.
Jinan City.
There are many people in the city, and the streets are very lively with people walking back and forth.
Since Cao Cao led his army to capture the Qingqi land, he sent a large number of officials to prepare to govern the Qingqi land into the rear area. Among them, Qingzhou is located in the center of the Qingqi land. After the fall of Bianliang, Qingzhou became The new capital of Cao Wei.
However, before the large-scale war with the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jinan was within a short distance of
It was originally relatively close and close to the Yellow River waterway, so it developed very rapidly.
Today, the population in the city is still the farmland villages and towns outside the city, and its prosperity is even more prosperous than Qingzhou, which is regarded as the capital.
Just looking at the level of prosperity, Jinan is the core of Qingqi.
The land around Jinan is fertile, with water flowing east and west, and irrigation is convenient. In the past two years, it has provided Cao Wei with a lot of money, grain, taxes and young people.
For this treasure land, Cao Wei stationed 30,000 troops in Jinan.
Thirty thousand troops doesn't sound like much.
But in the land of Qingqi, it is enough to suppress cities and counties with a radius of thousands of miles.
On the streets in the city, hundreds of elite cavalry were guarding several carriages returning from outside the city. The carriages were beautifully decorated, and the cavalry on both sides had gleaming eyes. They showed extraordinary strength at first glance.
In Jinan City, there are only a few people who can enjoy the protection of elite cavalry.
The side curtain of one of the carriages was lifted a little. A pair of watery eyes swept across the street, and after seeing the mansion in the distance, they looked away.
In the distant mansion, there is a plaque of Prince Qi's Mansion hanging.
Within the Cao Wei Dynasty, the person who was named King of Qi was the historical Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui. The woman in the carriage at this time was Cao Rui's mother, Zhen Mi, known as the Goddess of Luo...
Zhen Mi didn't get along with Cao Pi, so she lived with Cao Rui in Jinan.
Cao Pi sat in Qingzhou, and Cao Rui governed Jinan... From Cao Rui's title of King of Qi, it can be seen that Cao Cao attached great importance to Cao Rui and regarded him as his future heir.
