After Liu Bei joined the battle of Xu Prefecture, he and his two sworn brothers participated in the slaughter.
At the same time, Zang Ba led the army from Kaiyang to attack Wuyuan. Cao Chun underestimated the enemy and took back Wuyuan several times.
They were already in a stalemate. Cao Cao's troops were also blocked in Xiapi. Although Tao Qian had no one to support him, the Danyang soldiers were his trusted aides that he had recruited over the years.
As a result, their combat power was still there. Every day, they suffered an extremely painful number of casualties, but they had never been completely defeated.
As the days passed, the weather gradually turned cold, and the soldiers put on their winter clothes.
At this moment, although Cao Cao had an endless supply of rations, he had to consider whether he should retreat.
At this moment.
A piece of bad news came from Yanzhou.
Chen Gong and Zhang Miao suddenly rebelled. Chen Gong led Lu Bu into Puyang. Within a day, Puyang was lost.
Xiahou Dun made a prompt decision and took away most of the stored grain in the granary near the military camp. He burned the rest that he couldn't take away.
They retreated to a camp thirty miles away.
Similarly, other than Juancheng, most of the prefectures and counties had been tricked by Zhang Miao into opening their gates and then fell.
Only in Juancheng, where Xun Yu had set up a secret sentry in advance, knew Zhang Miao's intention and escaped.
However, they were also surrounded. Take note that Dong 'e and Fan County had not rebelled.
When Xun Yu's urgent order reached Xuzhou, Cao Cao's army would still need a few days to return.
He estimated that he would need at least 12 days to not be broken through, and he only had 5,000 soldiers under him.
Or the remnants of the army.
How could they defend against Zhang Miao's ten thousand men? Furthermore, his army was still marching everywhere. Everywhere they went, counties were unavoidable.
At this moment, in Chen Liu.
Zhang Miao and his younger brothers, Zhang Chao and Xu Si, were celebrating. They had sent out their troops to gather the cities and counties, waiting for Lu Bu's arrival.
Once Lu Bu charged through Dong County and reached Chenliu County, he would be able to make Lu Bu the ruler of Yanzhou and expel all of Cao Cao's trusted aides.
"Hahaha…"
"Big brother, as expected of you. You took down Yanzhou so quickly. We now occupy more than half of Yanzhou's territory and plunder the aristocrats and merchants.”Zhang Chao was a burly man with a messy beard. He laughed loudly and slammed the table, unable to suppress his joy.
This time, the uprising was really too smooth.
Other than Xun Yu, who was on guard, all the officials were unable to resist and the city was broken through. Many of them even took the initiative to surrender.
It was going too smoothly. Xun Yu's Juancheng was not a problem at all. He would not be able to defend it for long.
"Uh, when Meng De returned from Xuzhou, I hugged him and cried. At that time, I knew that he was not wary of me.”
"It's a pity that there are no brothers in this chaotic world. Even my best friend shouldn't be a stumbling block to my great cause. Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu…will kill me sooner or later.”
Zhang Miao's eyes were bloodshot, but his gaze was firm.
That's right, he had already discussed this with Chen Gong a few months ago.
Chen Gong told Zhang Chao about Lu Bu. After much consideration, Zhang Miao made his decision. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for him.
I can ask Cao Cao for help.
After Cao Cao became the herdsman of Yanzhou, the first thing he did was to kill Bian Rang and the other Yanzhou people, suppressing many of the Yanzhou aristocrats who wanted to use Cao Cao to rise to power.
From then on, Zhang Miao knew that this childhood friend was different from ordinary people.
He would never attribute his future achievements to himself because of this little emotion. Since that was the case, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seek fame in troubled times.
Why can't I stand alone?
Just as Chen Gong had said, the world was divided into many factions, with so much land and so many soldiers. In a situation where they were surrounded by enemies, they could be called heroes among the people, but they were controlled by others. Wasn't that detrimental to their status?
Today, the army in Yanzhou was going east, and the city was empty. Lu Bu was a brave general who was good at fighting and bravely advancing. If they could temporarily welcome him and occupy Yanzhou together, they could observe the situation and act according to the situation. This way, they might be able to achieve great things!
Yanzhou is mine!
The corner of Zhang Miao's mouth curled down. At this moment, he truly displayed the style of a formidable man.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of a door being kicked came from the outer courtyard, followed by shouts and screams.
Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao immediately stood up. However, Zhang Miao had been pampered for many years and no longer had the vigor of a martial artist.
When he stood up, he knocked over the table. By then, Zhang Chao had already reached the door. Just as he was about to go out, a few people in armor rushed into the courtyard.
They were wearing silver armor, and they walked very quickly. They drew their bows and shot arrows, directly shooting down the four guards in front of the hall.
"Kill all the rebels and loot the government office!" The leader shouted.”
"Snatch all of them. Don't leave any treasures behind. Take away everything you can!!”
"Don't leave anything behind!"
" Where's Zhang Miao?"
"If you go inside, you must be in the main hall. Here!"
"I see it! Go!"
When the silver-armored soldier saw the fire in the main hall, he immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow at an extremely fast speed. The four people in front of him quickly drew their swords in a very familiar manner and approached with large strides.
Two arrows flew over, and Xu Si, who couldn't dodge in time, was killed on the spot.
Meanwhile, Zhang Chao was ready to kill his way out. He thought that he could deal with the soldiers by himself, but he was immediately suppressed by the force of his sword.
The silver-armored soldier kicked him in the crotch. Zhang Chao fell down and his head was chopped off while his vision was still blurry.
Even until his death, he still could not understand where this soldier came from to be so cunning.
Zhang Miao was in a daze inside.
What's wrong?
Where did these bandits come from?
I still have three thousand soldiers stationed in Chenliu.
Where is he?
Didn't they stop them?
The city had already fallen?
