Vol 2 Chapter 1242: The war ended

Under Cao Cao’s personal decision, gradually giving up Yanzhou and Yuzhou and turning the development center to the south became Cao Jun’s next important strategy, and how to solve Liu Biao and Liu Yan at the quickest and least cost was also Liu Beihe The most pressing issue that Cao Cao needs to face.
　　Cao Cao and Liu Bei negotiated through the night. Early in the morning, the 100,000 elite troops supported by Commander Liu Bei and Cao Cao entered Hanzhong. As for the name, it is natural to fight against the rebel Zhang Lu.
　　 Speaking of Liu Yan is also a sad reminder, nominally Yizhou Mu, the master of Yizhou, the world's great state, but in fact, he is everywhere. Fortunately, Yan Huang moved the development center to Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries, otherwise Liu Yan had already died.
　　Even if Yan Huang's influence is ruled out, Liu Yan's life is not smooth. He also has Zhang Lu, the second and fifth cub.
　　 Zhang Lu took advantage of his mother's good health, "had little tolerance", "also with ghosts", the advantages of traveling to and from Liu Yan's family, and gained the trust of Liu Yan. The Hanzhong guarded Su Gu's rebellion, Liu Yan ordered Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu to march against Hanzhong.
　　 As a result, Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, and Zhang Lu took the opportunity to kill Zhang Xiu again, taking his military power, and occupying Hanzhong as a de facto ruler.
　　 And Zhang Lu shouted for the princes in the early days of the war to discuss, after Shang Jian gained an advantage, he quickly transformed the camp and began to support Shang Jie.
　　Liu Bei seized this, and openly flagged Zhang to start marching towards Hanzhong.
　　Cao Cao also frequently mobilized the army, constantly recruiting elite troops and main generals to gather in Nanyang, nominally to prepare for the fall of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, in fact, to seize the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.
　　 This kind of thing can't do without Sun Ce's cooperation. Cao Cao sent Sima Yi to act as an emissary, went to Jianye to talk with Sun Ce, and used Sun Jiao to reward Sun Ce as a bait to lure Sun Ce to participate in the plan.
　　Sun Ce discussed with the strategists Lu Su and Zhou Yu for a whole day, and was finally persuaded by Zhou Yu to "commercial forces are strong, even the horizontal can resist, the second Liu is weak, not enough to do it." Persuasion, joined Cao Cao Liu Bei's circle.
　　 Poor At this time, Jingzhou Mu Liubiao didn't know anything yet, and was still stupidly providing Cao Cao with grain and military support, and a free and silly white character.
　　Once Cao Cao made up his mind, the action was quite decisive.
　　 But to give up Yanzhou and Yuzhou is not to say that Yanzhou Yuzhou was handed over to Shangzhen. In the principle of making preparations for crossing the river and causing trouble for Shangzhen, Cao Caojun began to take predatory taxes on Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
　　 tried every means and all means to transfer the wealth of Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the shortest possible time. For this reason, he did not hesitate to offend a large number of family nobles, even blatantly looting the nobles.
　　Cao Cao's fierce means of course acquired a large amount of wealth in a short time, but at the same time, it also stirred up the resistance of Yanzhou and Yuzhou. The uprisings in the two states once surpassed the most chaotic Jizhou before.
In this situation, Shang Jie's offensive was more rapid, and even many nobles persecuted by Cao Cao took the initiative to stand on the side of Shang Jie. Although Shang Jie also mainly suppressed the family, as long as they did not make mistakes, honestly With the implementation of the land replacement method, Shang Jie will generally not harm their lives, nor will they plunder floating property.
　　Cao Cao is different. It is rumored that Cao Cao even took the advice of a stranger and used a torture called torture to dig out the cellar gold that many family and noble families have stored for hundreds of years.
　　 By the way, Cao Cao has not forgotten the old man in history. While plundering Yuzhou indiscriminately, he also invited folk masters to be appointed as generals of Faqiu Zhonglang, who will be responsible for excavating the tomb and stealing the tombs in the tomb.
　　Although the method is not good, the effect is very good.
　　Yanzhou and Yuzhou have a long history, and there are many emperors buried here. There are countless princes and princes. By digging the tomb, Cao Cao not only obtained a lot of gold and silver, but also got a lot of precious props that money could not buy.
　　 Cao Cao's abnormal energy can hold Liu Biao, but he hides Shang Jing.
　　 However, there is no good way for Shangzhen for the time being, he can only order to enter the team to step up the attack, and at the same time arrange Qian Qian, Yingyi Miwu to contact the rebel forces in Yanzhou and Yuzhou to repel Cao Cao as soon as possible.
　　Don't look at Shang Zhen is majestic now, but the pain is so great that Shang Jie can understand.
The newly occupied territories became a mess, and robbers swarmed up, even affecting the logistics security of the Shang Jie army; the army has not been effectively repaired since the Chenzhou War. The long war has made the soldiers tired, morale and combat power are both There have been varying degrees of decline.
Diao Chan’s Chang’an Army, Lü Bu’s Bingzhou Army, Yuan Shao’s Jizhou Army, and the surrendered Bemihu Ximatai Army, plus Shangzheng’s own Pingzhou Army and the captured Cao Cao Army and Liu Beijun, six or seven forces interweave Together, the contradictions in it all make heads big!
　　In the hundreds of millions of troops, the Shangzheng Military Headquarters is less than one-tenth of the total number. Now it is entirely supported by Shangzheng’s own prestige and his reputation for fighting a hundred victories, otherwise it will have been a mess.
　　 As for Liu Yi’s expeditionary army, the recovery was also mostly bluff. The war in Japan was still a long way from the end, and then there would definitely be a long war of law and order. UU reading books www.uukanshu. Kom didn't have half a year to stop trying to return his army from Japan, otherwise there would be a risk of giving up.
　　 In fact, Shang Zhen has changed his strategic goal to conquer Yanzhou, occupying the part of Henan except for Runan County. As for the hard bone of Runan County, Shang Zhen intends to talk about it slowly.
However, Cao Cao's initiative to retreat helped Shang Jian solve a great deal of trouble. Cao Jun retreated, and Shang Jiejun sang forward. It only took two months to push Yanzhou and Yuzhou together. Most of Cao Caojun retreated to Nanyang, leaving only a few. Some of them were stationed in Yiyang County, leaving a nail in Yuzhou.
　　At this point, after occupying Yuzhou and Yanzhou, Shang Jiejun also completely lost the ability to continue to attack.
In order to delay the pace of the Shangzheng attack, Cao Cao burned immature bankers in Yuzhou and Yanzhou extensively to create famine. Unless disregarding the lives of billions of people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou and raising food in extreme ways, Runan County in Yuzhou is the limit that Shangzhen can reach at present.
As the Shang Army stopped its offensive, the fighting in the north gradually subsided, and the mighty negotiation battle completely came to an end. Yuan Shao was dying, and Liu Bei returned to liberation before Diao Chan and Lu Bu surrendered, Cao Cao abolished half his life, princes The number has plummeted by about half, and the ownership of the world is basically clear.
　　The north has calmed down, but the south has risen again.
　　After two months of preparation and planning, Cao Cao finally revealed his fangs and launched a fierce attack on Jingzhou.
　　Cao Cao, who has repeatedly fought and defeated in the north, finally recovered his confidence in Liu Biao. The army is like a broken bamboo, and he has been advancing all the way. There is a kind of commercial posture to fight Cao Cao in the north.
