According to Sima Yi's plan, it turned out to be true. When the imperial seal was delivered to Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao stopped his troops.
A detailed investigation revealed that Yuan Shao asked Gongsun Zan for the imperial seal, and Gongsun Zan wanted to ask for reinforcements from Liu Bei, because Gongsun Zan was Liu Bei's fellow disciple, and he and Liu Bei studied under Lu Zhi, a great literary figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
But Liu Bei was helpless, because if Liu Bei wanted to support Gongsun Zan, he had to pass through the territory of Kong Rong and Cao Mengde. Kong Rong might be easy to talk to, but how could Cao Mengde let them pass
In the beginning, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were actually good allies, but later he became Yuan Shao's mortal enemy. He and Yuan Shao went from being allies who jointly established an alliance against Dong Zhuo, to eventually becoming enemies due to their interests falling apart, and they fought. Many times.
Long before this war, Yuan Shao had used Gongsun Zan's army to pretend to attack Jizhou and occupied Jizhou without spending a single soldier. Not long after, the Yellow Turban Army of more than 300,000 from Qingzhou attacked Bohai, preparing to fight with another place When the troops met, Gongsun Zan led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to the Bohai Sea, where he defeated the enemy army and killed more than 30,000 people. The Yellow Turban Army threw away some heavy things and fled to the other side of the Yellow River.
Gongsun Zan attacked the Yellow Turban Army again when half of them had already entered the Yellow River. The Yellow Turban Army failed again and tens of thousands of people died. The water of the Yellow River was dyed bright red with blood. In this war In the battle, Gongsun Zan also captured almost 70,000 enemies, as well as countless treasures, vehicles, etc. This battle made Gongsun Zan famous in the first battle and was widely known to the world. However, Yuan Shao, the fisherman, took advantage of the fruits of victory. Although Gongsun Zan He didn’t say it with his mouth, but he definitely had an idea in his heart.
Therefore, not long after Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, many cities under Jizhou responded to Gongsun Zan's actions and betrayed Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao found out, he felt scared, so he gave the position of prefect that he had been awarded by the court to other cousins of Gongsun Zan, and made him He served as the governor there. Yuan Shao hoped that this would calm Gongsun Zan's anger and allow reconciliation between the two.
However, the cousin who was awarded the prefect betrayed Yuan Shao not long after receiving the order from Yuan Shao. He led the army to Bohai to assist Gongsun Zan who was fighting Yuan Shao at the front. Gongsun Zan decided to break away from Yuan Shao and accepted his fate. People became governors of various places, and the governors of various places were replaced.
The same is true this time. The two wanted to join forces for the two huge cakes of Luoyang and Chang'an. How could they imagine that Cao Mengde would directly give the jade seal to Gongsun Zan. How could Yuan Shao endure it
So after half a month, they stopped fighting Cao Mengde and fought directly between the two. Cao Mengde led the cavalry to block Kong Rong's Beihai.
Kong Rong was angry and regretful at the top of the city: "I hate that Yuan Benchu! I originally planned to attack Cao Cao with me, but unexpectedly, this guy changed his mind on the spot. God is going to kill me, God is going to kill me!!"
Cao Mengde was wearing battle armor and marching in person: "Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan!"
"The general is here!"
"You have three days to break through the North City Gate, otherwise we will come to see you!" Cao Mengde shouted angrily.
Brother Xiahou immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"
Cao Mengde looked into the distance: "Cao Ren and Cao Hong!"
"The general is here!"
"Cao Ren blocked the west city gate, and Cao Hong blocked the east city gate. Not a single bird was allowed to come out. If anyone dares to come out, we will kill them. Otherwise, we will come to see you!" Cao Mengde said.
The two people immediately said: "Yes!"
Cao Mengde took out the green sword from his waist: "Other soldiers, follow me to attack the south city gate and capture the old thief Kong Rong alive. I will fry him alive!"
"yes!"
For a time, Cao Mengde's army was huge. Without Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to worry about, Cao Mengde attacked across the board. Kong Rong could only occupy a small city in Beihai. How could he be Cao Mengde's opponent
Once the killing begins, it can be said that tigers and wolves are advancing hand in hand. The sound of killing is loud and blood flows into rivers. The place they pass by is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with broken limbs and broken bones.
The soldiers pushed forward one after another, fearing life and death, and pushed towards the city wall, layer after layer, like a thousand-layer cake, because Cao Mengde was angry, and he would fight to the death to win Beihai City even if it was a bloody battle!
Cheng Yu's heart was open. He knew that there was another crucial reason for taking Beihai. If Beihai was taken, he could attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou was a rich place in the world, with rich people and a dense population. It was a good place for recruiting troops. In addition, Tao Qian's many years of benevolent government made Xuzhou city full of vitality.
But Cheng Yu was very afraid of Sima Yi. He had a feeling that Sima Yi was going to deal with him, but Sima Yi hadn't caught his tail yet.
Boom!
Xu Zhu took a battering ram and led the charge and actually captured the city gate. So a large group of people entered the city in different directions, killing soldiers when they saw them, grabbing food when they saw them, attacking women when they saw them, and looting when they saw money!
For a time, the entire Beihai became a living hell. Cao Pi and Cao Ang were also accompanying the army. Cao Ang stood beside Sima Yi and said: "Sir, why is my father so cruel? He wants to massacre the city."
"My lord is telling the whole world, let them know that they must not try to sneak attack on my lord. Once they fail to attack, they will face my lord's endless anger." Sima Yi said.
Cao Pi giggled on the side.
At this time, Cao Pi was still about fourteen years old, and people said he was stupid, but Sima Yi understood that this Cao Pi was the most farsighted among the young masters.
"Thief Cao, you have to die a good death. Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!" Kong Rong screamed, jumped down from the city wall, and suddenly fell into minced meat.
Cao Mengde picked up Kong Rong's clothes with his green sword. When he saw the rotten meat inside, he sneered: "Take it out and feed it to the dogs."
"Yes!" Xu Chu said, cupping his fists.
Cao Mengde captured Beihai, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting among themselves. The news spread to Jingzhou all of a sudden. Li Yuguo was practicing martial arts in the yard. He now practices all kinds of weapons, including swords, guns, clubs, axes and spears. As long as they are usable, he Try one or two of them all.
In the past few days, Lu Qiling had also heard a lot from the counselors, so she also sympathized with Li Yuguo.
A woman's kindness will only harm her own people. If Lu Qiling harmed Li Huguo because of her own thoughts, she would never forgive herself. She came to the door: "I have eaten, but I am still practicing."
"No wonder every time I fought with Zilong Meng, I couldn't kill him with one strike. That's why." Li Hugo put the spear upside down on the ground, wiped his sweat and said, "The spear stabs faster than the knife. More than double.”
"These days, you let Ma Chao and Zhao Yun practice cavalry and infantry, and let Gan Ning and Su Fei practice navy. You yourself have no time to spare." Lu Qiling came up to wipe Li Yuguo's sweat, but unexpectedly she was hugged by Li Yuguo.
