"We found Zhen Mi, but we didn't find Cao Rui... It seems that Cao Rui was well hidden! But it doesn't matter how well he is hidden. Once Qingzhou is broken, Cao Wei's roots will be lost. Without a dynasty to back him up, Cao Rui will be at best He’s just a talented person with pretty good abilities!”
Wang Jing smiled casually after reading the military report.
Yang Kan echoed from the side: "Your Majesty, it is clear that although General Yang did not find Cao Rui, he traveled thousands of miles overnight to find Zhen Mi, which can be regarded as a great achievement..."
Wang Jing hummed, glanced at Yang Kan, and found that he didn't mean any pun, and then withdrew his gaze.
While they were talking, the army was constantly approaching Qingzhou.
When approaching Qingzhou, the soldiers and horses who raided Qingzhou by sea also rushed to the southeast of Qingzhou, sent messengers to pay homage, and directly merged into the command, starting to move closer here. On the Qingzhou city wall.
A slightly thin man was holding on to the city wall, his eyes filled with gloom.
He was accompanied by more than a dozen generals wearing armor and stomach. On the left were Cheng Yu, who was left behind by Cao Wei, and Xun You, who had tried his best to return to Qingzhou before the Xia army.
The Xia army cavalry in the distance was galloping towards the Qingzhou city wall.
Following the cavalry were the elite soldiers and horses led by Lord Xia himself.
"Wang Jing personally led the troops to attack Qingzhou. This is to destroy our Wei State. Everyone, this battle is very important. If Qingzhou city is defeated, Cao Wei's foundation will be destroyed and everyone will become a lost dog... Now the only way to clear the country is to strengthen the walls and clear the country. , defend the city with all your strength!"
The young man on the city wall is naturally Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei who founded Cao Wei in history. There was ruthlessness in his voice, and his eyes swept over everyone,
When he saw several of the generals, his eyes paused inadvertently.
In order to deal with the Xia army these days, he recalled all the generals who were guarding from various places to gather strength to avoid being defeated by the Xia army one by one. Among them were Xiahou Dun and Zhu Ling who were Cao Wei's own.
Xiahou Dun has a good reputation, but he is known as a general who is often defeated. His ability to govern local areas is better than his ability to lead troops. He can be used to serve as a feudal official, but his ability to serve as the leader of an army is somewhat insufficient.
General Zhu Ling was very capable and made great contributions to Cao Wei in history. He was also an important helper for Cao Cao in his early conquering of the world. Unfortunately, he later aroused Cao Cao's resentment and fear for unknown reasons, and even sent Yu Jin into the camp to seize his troops. .
Zhu Ling had conflicts with Cao Cao, but had a good relationship with Cao Pi.
The two of them are also Cao Pi's important helpers in Qingzhou.
But Cao Pi didn't trust other generals very much. These generals were Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo, Xuanzan, Suo Chao... They were all generals who came from the Northern Song Dynasty and later fell into disgrace.
As a powerful force that previously occupied the eastern part of the Central Plains, and attracted by Cao Cao's reputation, many Liangshan generals defected to Cao Wei.
The leader of them is Song Jiang. At this time, Song Jiang was serving as the governor of Laizhou, and the general Qin Ming was serving under Cao Cao.
There are still several Liangshan Department generals, that is, Dong Ping and others stayed in Qingqi.
Although except for Dong Ping, the other three generals among these people have some integrity, and they also worked hard when serving Cao Wei and made a lot of achievements.
But after all, they are not Cao Wei's own people.
Historically, the generals used by Cao Cao to conquer the world were either Cao or Xiahou. The most famous generals with foreign surnames were the Five-Son Good Generals, but Zhang Liao, one of the Five-Soned Good Generals, only led thousands of troops throughout his life.
If forced to do so, Cao Wei rarely let people with foreign surnames take charge of the military.
After the talents of the Cao Wei clan withered, in order to deal with Zhuge Liang's threat, Sima Yi had to be reused.
After arriving in the world of China, Cao Cao and Cao Pi read the history books and learned that Cao Wei was eventually replaced by the Sima family, and they became more wary of giving military power to foreigners.
Generals who have proven their loyalty in history can be reused. For example, Zhang Liao gained the trust of Cao Cao and his son and led the army alone.
In addition to these few people, the generals who defected from outside commanded at most tens of thousands of soldiers. I'm usually so defensive when it comes to foreigners.
Green at this time
The state was in danger, and Cao Pi did not dare to trust people like Dong Ping and Hu Yanzhuo. Of course, Cao Pi didn't show anything on the surface, and kept his guard up in his heart. He didn't say much except to express his confidence in defending the city.
In the face of a powerful enemy, we must be on guard against these powerful generals and at the same time use them as much as possible. Don't give up eating because of choking.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely defend the city!"
Zhu Ling expressed his stance in a deep voice.
Other generals and commanders also expressed their determination.
boom!
After the cavalry from afar arrived, they circled outside the city several times.
Soon the main force led by Wang Jing arrived, and after joining the sea troops, the number of the army doubled.
As soon as people passed by, there was no bounds. At this time, the soldiers of the Xia army were standing tall with banners and the army was in a tight formation. Their invincible momentum could make the soldiers of Cao Wei on the top of the city tremble, even from a long distance away.
After the dragon flag representing the Emperor of Daxia appeared in front of the army, the morale of Cao's army became even lower.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Wang Jing founded the Great Xia Dynasty from scratch and became one of the most powerful forces in the world of China. His name and experience of starting up have long been spread throughout the world. It is too exaggerated to be a household name, but Cao Wei, which is relatively close to the Great Xia Dynasty, even ordinary soldiers I also know Wang Jing’s name.
When their own family was attacked by such a powerful enemy and was in danger in front of the capital, they became more and more frightened.
This kind of panic cannot be solved by Cao Pi and Zhu Ling.
When Xun You and Cheng Yu saw this scene, they could only sigh secretly. Only Cao Cao, who single-handedly established Cao Wei, could calm down the fear in the hearts of the soldiers and fight to the death with the Xia army. "Alas, the chances of winning are slim! Although General Zhu Ling and General Xiahou are not bad, if Xia Jun goes all out, he can only hold on to the city with a 10% certainty!"
When Xun You thought of this, his heart became darker and darker.
He never thought about betraying Cao Cao, but it did not mean that he would be buried with Cao Wei. Once Qingzhou is breached, Xun You will only hide himself and escape quietly.
Not only Xun You, but also Cheng Yu also had this idea.
In the Three Kingdoms era, there was no saying that the king had to die if he wanted his ministers to die. After the advisers and generals were defeated, they would save themselves and break out of the siege. Only when they were surrounded by groups, they would choose to commit suicide.
Now that Cao Cao and part of the main force of Cao Wei are still outside, many civil and military officials in Wei have not lost confidence. They are still thinking about breaking out and returning to Cao Cao's command, and trying to find a way to establish a stronghold in the east.
at this time.
Wang Jing held the riding whip in his right hand and rode the divine horse forward slowly. He was surrounded by Yang Kan, Wen Yang, and Zhang Hao, as well as a large number of personal guards. His eyes scanned the city wall in front, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Perhaps it was due to the suppression of Qi, or perhaps the gap between Wang Jing's strength and the opponent's strength was too great. When Wang Jing used his spiritual eyes to observe the situation at the top of the city, he did not receive much interference.
"Two ninth-level human realm generals... and several eighth-level generals!"
Wang Jing did not include Xun You and Cheng Yu.
When the two armies were fighting, the lethality of these two Confucian counselors was greatly reduced, and no strategies or military skills were of use.
Strategies and military skills, such as the ability to hide from the sky, hide energy, and gain insight into opportunities, are most useful before a big battle.
Once the evil spirit of fighting between the two armies rises, a famous ninth-level Confucian minister will be at most the same as a seventh-level or eighth-level military general...
After all, the battlefield is not the stage for these famous ministers.
If they stand in the court, they can use the method of taking advantage of the situation to suppress the generals. The ability to govern local affairs and handle internal affairs is not comparable to that of military commanders.
After all, the world of Shenzhou is not a game. Confucianism, military strategism, and legalism each have their own strengths, but they will not restrain each other. Most of the top experts are military strategists and generals. A few exceptions, such as Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang, basically all have practiced Taoism, Legalism, and other methods. .
If Xun You and Cheng Yu wanted to take action on the top of the city, Yang Kan and the three of them could easily take action without Wang Jing paying attention.
"Send the order, set up camp and attack the city tomorrow!"
After taking a look at the situation in Qingzhou, Wang Jing felt confident and ordered immediately.
The Cao army on the top of the city did not leave the city to harass the Xia army when they set up camp. They just watched the continuous camps being erected, and a large number of soldiers went to cut wood and quarry stone, and build siege equipment under the command of the craftsmen accompanying the army.
Simple siege equipment, such as ladders and chariots, are ready for use.
Only complex weapons, such as the God-breaking Crossbow and Fire Dragon Cart, need to be transported by cloud car. Wang Jing did not bring any large equipment with him in this raid... With the strength gap between the two sides, there was no need for those large equipment to assist.
the next day.
Accompanied by the sound of horns, Xia Jun formed formation again.
Wang Jing waved his horsewhip, and a cavalryman immediately ran out of the Xia army. The cavalryman rushed to the far side of the city wall and shouted loudly: "People in the city listen, Cao Cao has defeated the Central Plains, and now Dingtao has been defeated." , Jinan has been lost, leaving only the lonely city of Qingzhou, and its strength has been exhausted!"
"Open the city gate at this time and bow with courtesy. You and I will have the best of both worlds without using weapons. If you persist in your stubbornness, the army will attack the city and we will show no mercy!"
On the top of the city, Cao Pi heard these words and grabbed the bow and arrow directly from a guard beside him. collapse!
An arrow whizzed and hit the ground in front of the cavalry instantly.
"Come and attack the city if you dare!"
Cao Pi shouted sharply.
If Cao Pi hadn't thought about not killing the envoy before the two armies formed, Cao Pi's arrow would have penetrated directly into the chest of the cavalry. Although Cao Pi was not well-known, he had studied swordsmanship with a famous swordsman since he was a child, and his swordsmanship, riding and shooting were all above par. .
If all the status auras are subtracted, it is still possible to lead tens of thousands of troops based on his ability alone. "Siege the city!"
After the cavalrymen who persuaded them to surrender returned, Wang Jing's expression remained unchanged, he flicked his whip and gave the order immediately. Yang Kan, Wen Yang, and Zhang Hao immediately took the order.
Yang Kan led the Chinese army to suppress the formation, and Wen Yang and Zhang Hao took the lead. They directly led their troops and horses and rushed forward carrying the ladders.
"kill!"
Wen Yang and Zhang Hao personally took action. Under the rain of arrows, when the ladder was set up on the top of the city, they flew directly up and rushed to the top of the city despite the pressure of the defensive formation.
"Thieves will not be allowed to be bold!"
There were already defenses on the city wall. When the two men climbed to the top of the city, Hu Yanzhuo and Dong Ping stepped forward to attack them.
boom!
As soon as the two sides came into contact with each other, Hu Yanzhuo and Dong Ping's expressions changed drastically, and their weapons were a little unsteady. The soldiers of Cao's army around them were blown away by the aftermath, and many soldiers were thrown off the city top, screaming and fell into corpses.
Wen Yang was a fierce general with nearly the best strength in the world in the late Three Kingdoms period. After continuous battlefield training, most of his potential had been developed. No ordinary ninth-level generals could match him. Dong Ping, who was fighting against him, was armed with double guns and had a dazzling array of moves. However, when the two sides collided, Dong Ping was no match for him, and it was difficult to use his fancy double gun skills. In less than three moves, Dong Ping blocked from left to right, extremely embarrassed.
kill!
Wen Yang did not hold back, his eyes were fixed on Cao Pi not far away to prevent him from escaping, and he only paid half of his attention to Dong Ping. Even so, under his domineering and fierce long arms, Dong Ping was fired after three moves.
With a puff, the long sculpture was like electricity, instantly piercing Dong Ping's heart.
Dong Ping, who is known as a double-gun general, has no power to fight back in front of a top general like Wen Yang who will go down in history.
Not only Dong Ping, but also Hu Yanzhuo.
However, Hu Yanzhuo had stronger resistance. Although he was suppressed by Zhang Hao, he could still protect himself from being killed.
After the two fierce generals Wen Yang and Zhang Hao rushed into the formation in person, they almost met each other, and a large hole was torn open in Cao Jun's city wall defense line. Zhu Ling and Xia Houdun's expressions changed when they saw it.
Cao Wei still has too few talents, especially top famous generals, and cannot compare with other top dynasties.
After Cao Cao captured Qingqi, the territory and Dingkou reached the level of the top dynasty, but the foundation was a bit shallow, and there were only a few powerful people in the heavenly realm.
The ninth-level generals are even more incomparable to other dynasties. But this is also understandable. The national destiny of Cao Wei for a total of forty or fifty years, of course
It cannot be compared with those two or three hundred year old dynasties.
Wang Jing's Daxia Dynasty also absorbed the essence of Song Qi, Liang Chen, Southern Song Dynasty Zhu Ming and other dynasties to be as strong as it is today.
"Suffer death!"
After Wen Yang and Zhang Hao took action, Yang Kan followed closely and flew up. He held a long spear and stabbed directly towards Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling shouted sternly and rushed forward...
Under the city.
Wang Jing held the riding whip in his right hand and waved it casually. Looking at the situation on the top of the city, the three ninth-level powerhouses attacked the city together. In his opinion, there would be no surprises.
As he expected, Zhang Hao quickly blew Hu Yanzhuo away and seriously injured him, then stabbed Xuanzan to death and captured Suo Chao alive... In the blink of an eye, only Zhu Ling and Xiahou Dun were left in Qingzhou City's Cao Army General.
The two of them are also being suppressed and are in danger.
Cao Pi personally stepped forward with a long sword and fought with the Xia army soldiers who were attacking the city. After stabbing more than a dozen Xia army elites to death in succession, he was surrounded by more and more Xia army elites...
boom!
Xiahou Dun's body was blown more than ten feet, and he fell into the midst of Cao's soldiers, overturning hundreds of people. Xiahou Dun struggled hard, trying to get up and continue fighting.
But when he had just half straightened up, Wen Yang was already in front of him.
Wen Yang glanced at him, then waved the long plastic to knock him out without killing him. As the generals of Cao's army died, they were captured.
Cao Pi tried his best to fight off the Xia soldiers around him, glanced at the city, and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect that the foundation of Wei State would still be destroyed in my hands. It's really God's will!"
Historically, Cao Pi reused Sima Yi, which paved the way for the downfall of Cao Wei. After reading the history books, Cao Pi couldn't help but blame himself for the downfall of Cao Wei. That’s why I said this. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the figure under the dragon banner of Xia Jun under the city in the distance, and drew the sword across his neck, causing blood to splash.
After a while, the Qingzhou city gate opened...
Cao Wei's foundation in the east collapsed.
