Three Kingdoms: Concubine Yu Ji Lu Pheasant, I Overthrow the Han Dynasty

In addition, Lu Lingqi also followed.

Yingwu did not let Sun Shangxiang follow, but left her in Xiapi to train the four thousand female soldiers.

Yingwu told her that if these female soldiers could not be reborn after he came back triumphantly, he would send Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong.

Originally, Sun Shangxiang was very dissatisfied with Yingwu's arrangement, because she wanted to go to the battlefield.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pestered Sun Ce and followed him to Huainan.

But what Yingwu said scared Sun Shangxiang.

When she returns to Jiangdong, she will definitely be sealed in the mansion by Sun Ce, and she will not be able to leave even a single step.

How good it is now, you can go out of the house, you can go out of the city to train female soldiers, it is tantamount to freedom.

So, Sun Shangxiang obediently obeyed.

In fact, the news of Sun Ce's death had reached Xiapi, but Yingwu managed to hide it from Sun Shangxiang.

The reason is simple. Yingwu suspects that Sun Ce's death is related to Sun Quan.

Sun Ce's injury, Ying Wu knew, was that his face was cut.

For Sun Ce, who is as strong as a young tiger, can this injury be fatal?

As for what Sun Quan claimed, it was the maid who killed Sun Ce.

But what about the handmaid?

He was killed by Sun Quan.

Why didn't Sun Quan stay alive?

Because the murderer is him.

Therefore, under Shang Yang's suggestion, Yingwu sent people to spread the news in Jianye and around Jiangdong: Sun Quan killed his brother and came to power.

Although this is a rumor spread by the people sent by Yingwu, it happens to be completely consistent with the facts.

Even Sun Quan's mother, Wu Shi, had some doubts about Sun Quan, including Sun Yi and Sun Kuang.

Sun Quan was very angry, but the maid did die at his hands, making it impossible for him to prove his innocence.

Of course, no one can prove that he killed Sun Ce.

Fortunately, Sun Quan's policy of governing Jiangdong is exactly the opposite of Sun Ce's. He has won the support of Jiangdong's family, and his Jiangdong master is barely secure.

However, because Sun Ce lost [-] soldiers, it is undoubtedly worse for Jiangdong, who is not well-off.

In addition, there are many voices against Sun Quan in Jiangdong, so Sun Quan can only focus on stabilizing Jiangdong as his top priority, and his dream of striving for hegemony in the Central Plains can only be postponed.

Yingwu sent troops suddenly, which caught Cao Cao by surprise.

At the same time, Yingwu also ordered Zhang Liao to lead his army to attack Runan County.

The Qin army was not afraid of death, and the siege battle was extremely fierce, and the cities in Cao Cao's territory fell one after another.

When Cao Cao got the news, Yingwu's main force had already reached Chen County, the seat of Chen State.

To the west of Chen County, passing Changping and Xinji, is Xudu.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was taken aback. How could he care about attacking Wancheng? He hurried back to the army to rescue Xudu.

Zhang Xiu in Wancheng was overjoyed when he heard the news. On Jia Xu's suggestion, he sent Xiliang iron cavalry to harass Cao Jun constantly in order to slow down Cao Jun's retreat.

Cao Jun couldn't return to the army for the time being, and Qin Wu's army soon approached the city of Xudu, and Xudu's pressure instantly increased.

Xudu does not have many troops, only [-] Cao Jun.

In normal times, the [-] Cao troops are all elites, and Cao Hong, who has experienced many battles, is the main general, so it is absolutely foolproof.

But now it's different, the Qin army pushed the battle line to the city of Xudu at an unstoppable speed.

Moreover, there are [-] Qin troops, including [-] cavalry.

Cao Hong only felt that his head was a bit big.

[-] against [-], this battle is not easy to fight.

Fortunately, because Xudu was to be the capital of the great Han, Cao Cao reinforced Xudu twice.

Today's Xu Capital City is by no means inferior to the former Luoyang City, nor is it inferior to the current Yecheng and Shouchun cities.

Cao Hong stood at the top of the city, looking at the endless Qin army outside the city, he couldn't help but gasped.

The responsibility is heavy.

In this Xu capital city, there are not only the emperor and the officials, but also Cao Cao, who has already been under the command of Cao Cao, civil and military family members.

If something unexpected happened to Xu Capital City, once these people fell into the hands of the Qin army, Cao Hong simply didn't dare to think about how Cao Cao would mess around in the future.

"Cheer up, everyone." Cao Hong yelled loudly, emboldening himself, "Xu Capital City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the brothers work together, we can guarantee that the Qin army will not be able to attack."

"Lord Sikong already knows about Qin's soldiers coming to Xudu, and has given up attacking Wancheng, and is on his way back to the army."

"Sir Sikong will be able to return within three days at the latest."

"At that time, we will cooperate with Lord Sikong from inside and outside, and we will definitely defeat the Qin army and solve Xudu's difficulties."

What Cao Hong said was not nonsense.

After Cao Cao heard the news, he did send a fast horse to report back, saying that he had given up his plan to attack Wancheng and was on his way to retreat.

In three days at the latest, he should be able to return to Xudu.

The reason why Cao Cao did this was naturally to stabilize Cao Hong's mood and to stabilize the morale of the army.

Sure enough, Cao Jun, who was a little restless at first, gradually calmed down after hearing Cao Hong's roar.

With the fact that Xu Capital City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are sufficient armaments, there is absolutely no problem in defending it for three to five days.

Seeing that the mood of the defenders at the south gate had stabilized, Cao Hong hurriedly rode to the west gate to appease the troops while the Qin army was still attacking the city.

Under Cao Hong's efforts to appease, Cao Jun's morale was completely stabilized.

Next, it is the preparations for defending the city.

Bows and arrows, oil pans, stones, giant logs, etc., were all moved to the top of the city.

Cao Hong also breathed a sigh of relief, just waiting for the Qin army to attack the city.

It's just that Cao Jun's army at the head of the city has stabilized, but in Xudu City, there is an undercurrent surging.

The news that Qin Junbing had arrived at the city of Xudu had already spread.

An uninvited guest came to the mansion of General Dong Cheng who was riding a chariot.

Dong Cheng, who was originally the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, originally followed Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

Later, when Dong Zhuo was defeated, Dong Cheng abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side.

Not long ago, in order to win over Dong Cheng, Liu Xie planned to accept Dong Cheng's daughter Dong Lin as a noble concubine.

Because Liu Xie grew up with Empress Dowager Dong, and Dong Cheng was Liu Xie's cousin, so naturally he would not object to this marriage.

The dates were all set, and it was just a month away.

In a month's time, Cao Cao was almost able to defeat Wancheng and return to Xudu triumphantly.

The uninvited guest of General Chaqi was none other than the strategist Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi invited Ying to come here on his own initiative, saying that he wanted to persuade Dong Cheng to surrender.

Chapter 097

Zhang Yi came three days before the soldiers of the Qin army came under the city of Xudu.

For the past three days, Zhang Yi stayed at the inn at night and inquired about Xu Ducheng during the day.

Money can turn the devil around.

It took Zhang Yi three days and one hundred gold to get a clear picture of the situation in Xu Capital City.

Seeing Zhang Yi's famous assassin, Dong Cheng was taken aback. Qin Jun was surrounding Xu Ducheng, and Qin Wu's advisers came to visit his house.

If Cao Hong knew about this, his entire Dong family would be ruined immediately.

Therefore, Dong Cheng didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily sent someone to welcome Zhang Yi into the mansion, and led him directly into his study.

Zhang Yi swaggered all the way, and did not forget to salute everyone: "I am in Xuzhou, Zhang Yi is polite."

When Dong Cheng got the news, he wanted to kill Zhang Yi.

This bastard did it on purpose, just to let more people know that Qin Wu's envoy came to him.

Therefore, Dong Cheng hastily issued an order to seal off the Cheqi General's Mansion, allowing entry and no exit.

Of course, when Dong Cheng saw Zhang Yi, he would not give him a good face.

"Foreign minister Zhang Yi, I have seen the chariot general."

Dong Cheng immediately snorted: "This world is still ruled by big men. His Majesty Dong Chengmeng will not give up, and he will be the general of chariots and riders."

"Although Xuzhou fell into the hands of Qin Wu, it is still the territory of the Han Dynasty. Qin Wu is still a man of the Han Dynasty, and may be a minister of the Han Dynasty in the future."

"But I don't know, where does the word foreign minister come from?"

Dong Cheng is indeed capable.

These words are suppressed and wooed, which can be described as a combination of grace and power.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "What General Che Qi said is true, Zhang Yi made a mistake."

Only then did Dong Cheng's expression soften, and he asked lightly: "Zhang Yi, don't think I can't see through your tricks."

"Deliberately let more people know that you have come to my chariot general's mansion, and you want to force me to join Qin Wu, right?"

Zhang Yi replied with a smile: "The chariot general is wise."

Dong Cheng was quite complacent, and smiled coldly: "Do you think that you can force Dong Cheng to submit to me by proclaiming that you are Qin Wu's counselor after seeing the servants of my mansion?"

"Hmph, what a joke, how can I, Dong Cheng, be at the mercy of villains like you."

"As long as I give an order, you will be chopped into meat. How can outsiders know that you have been to my chariot general's mansion, haha."

Zhang Yi still had a smiling expression: "The chariot general is wise, and Zhang Yi admires him."

"It's just that General Cheqi ignored one point."

Dong Cheng was taken aback, and asked, "Which point?"

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I came to Xudu from Xiapi, how can I come here alone."

"You..." Dong Cheng was startled and angry, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid for forgetting this verse.

What Zhang Yi meant was obvious.

You can kill me, but my people will spread the matter to Xudu and Cao Hong's ears, and you will not be able to clean it up even if you jump into the Yellow River.

In an extraordinary period, Cao Hong would rather kill Dong's family by mistake than allow a spy to live in Xudu.

Dong Cheng's face darkened again, and he asked coldly: "Good trick, Dong has underestimated you."

"Tell me why Qin Wu sent you here."

Zhang Yi replied with a smile: "Of course it's a great favor to give General Che Qi."

Great benefit?

Shit, if I could believe it.

Dong Chengdeng snorted coldly, and didn't bother to ask what the benefits were.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Dare to ask General Cheqi, if Xu's capital is destroyed, how will General Cheqi protect himself?"

Xu capital city broken?

Dong Cheng frowned slightly, and sneered: "It's just that the Son of Heaven has passed from Cao Bandit's hands to Qin Wu's."

"It's the worst thing, it doesn't matter if I don't do it as a cavalry general."

Zhang Yi laughed loudly and said, "General Cheqi's words are wrong."

"Zhang Yi came here with sincerity."

"To be honest, my lord has an enmity with the Han family, and it is a deep hatred."
