The Qin army reinforcements were extremely combat-effective and did not count casualties at all. Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren were only 6,000 Jingzhou troops. Although they had the advantage of the terrain, they could only slightly delay the speed of Qin army reinforcements advancing Shangyong County City. Moreover, as time went by, more Qin army reinforcements arrived one after another. The 20,000 Qin army reinforcements would soon become 30,000, or even 50,000.

"Military advisors, the Qin army has more and more reinforcements, and the two generals Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren can't hold on!"

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, and he stopped shaking his feather fan, staring at the offense and defense of Shangyong County.

The city of Shangyong County seems to be in danger and can be broken into the city in the next moment, but no matter how dangerous it is, Xu Huang still persists and does not allow the city to be broken.

Zhuge Liang didn't know whether it would take him one more hour, half a day, one day, or how long it would take to capture Shangyong County City.

Once upon a time, Zhuge Liang was extremely confident and could only be at peace with the world. Not only many people think so, but Zhuge Liang himself also thinks so. When he first came out of Longzhong, Zhuge Liang pointed to the country and was full of energy.

Then he assisted Liu Bei to defeat the more with fewer defeats, and two burned Cao's army. In the Battle of Red Cliff, the straw boat borrowed arrows and the east wind burned Cao's army. After the Battle of Red Cliff, he conquered four counties in southern Jingzhou. The yellow bird seized food at the mouth of Houhu, and captured Xiangyang and Jiangling from Zhou Yu, which angered Zhou Yu to death. The Battle of Red Cliff ended in less than half a year, and eight counties in Jingzhou were obtained with a population of nearly three million.

All these confirm Zhuge Liang's genius!

Then, he marched westward to Yizhou and fought against Qin Hou Liu Yu with Liu Zhang.

When he first entered Yizhou, Zhuge Liang was still confident and full of energy, because it was not only him on his side, but he also persuaded Feng Chu and Pang Tong to assist Liu Bei. If you can have one, you can be at peace with the world. If you join forces, you should naturally sweep the world.

However, the battle in Yizhou did not go as smoothly as he thought. The talents of the counselors under Qin Hou Liu Yu were beyond his expectations, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers was also beyond his expectations. In the battle of Jiangzhou, Jia Xu was almost removed from the underworld. Later, Guo Jia made a big roundabout strategy, forcing him and Pang Tong to divide the troops. As a result, Feng Chu Pang Tong and general Guan Hai both died in Luofengpo.

Yizhou was defeated and the heavy losses of soldiers gave Zhuge Liang a wake-up call. It turned out that the genius in the world was not a dragon and phoenix chick, and the world could not underestimate it.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of Qin Marquis Liu Yu's conquest of Hebei, I only wanted to win the three counties of Shangyong, but I think it would be difficult.

However, after more than two months of attack, the Qin army's general defending the city was beyond his expectations. It was difficult to break the city with all methods, which gave Zhuge Liang another wake-up call!

Zhuge Liang couldn't help feeling a little depressed! He couldn't help but start to doubt, could he really assist Liu Bei in unifying the world in the end?

"Military advisor, Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren's defense line has been broken. The Qin army can kill the city of Shangyong County without two sticks of incense!"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "God won't help me! I'll send an order to withdraw my troops, stop siege, and retreat to Xincheng County!"

Finally, Zhuge Liang failed to capture the city of Shangyong County in the end. He led the remaining 30,000 Jingzhou troops and the more than 7,000 Hanzhong soldiers captured by him, and retreated to Xincheng County.

In this battle that lasted more than two months, Zhuge Liang only won the irrelevant Xincheng County!

Up the city tower of Shangyong County.

Xu Huang was covered in blood, the entire city tower was filled with corpses, and there were only more than 200 Qin soldiers left, as well as more than 200 Shangyong County people, who were also old and young.

Seeing Zhuge Liang stop siege and retreat with Jingzhou troops, Xu Huang collapsed on the top of the city. Perhaps for another hour, or even half an hour, he really couldn't hold on. This battle was really tragic, but he finally held on.

"Walking Dragon Zhuge Kongming? Hahahaha!" Although he was tired, Xu Huang still laughed out loud!

Liu Yu was in Hanzhong County and had received reinforcements. Xu Huang had stopped the news of Shangyong County, and Liu Yu was also overjoyed.

Liu Yu snorted: "I attacked Cao Cao in the previous period and restrained almost all the troops that Cao Cao could mobilize in Hebei. He created a good opportunity for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to attack Cao, but Liu Bei did not attack Cao Cao, but instead attacked me! Zhuge Liang was particularly hateful! Now he wanted to seek the land of my Shangyong but failed, but he could not kill or injured 60,000 soldiers, which was really a retribution!"

After a pause, Liu Yu continued, "Xu Huang has made great contributions and is enough to be a marquis. I should ask in front of the Empress and recommend him as the marquis of Luting!"

If Cao Cao is now holding the emperor, then Liu Yu is simply preparing to take Queen Fu as the emperor envoy.

In short, Liu Yu used the name of Empress Fu as a trustee to exercise the power of the emperor. He could establish an institution that was like the court without being promoted to the emperor and give his subordinates a title of marquis with righteousness.

Why did the princes want to become emperor after they became larger in territory? Why did Cao Cao threaten the emperor? Why did Yuan Shao want to compete with Cao Cao for the emperor after unifying Hebei?

Because only the emperor's rights can be justified in giving people a title and establish a team of 'in court'.

Cao Cao controlled Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, in addition to wielding the emperor to command the princes, more importantly, a set of "intentional" team represented by Emperor Xian of Han, as well as a legitimate title for the meritorious generals under his command, to consolidate the loyalty of the civil and military officials and the cohesion of his entire camp.

Liu Yu took advantage of the fact that there were only four families left in the world, and it was impossible to establish another emperor. It was not until the time for him to be emperor. Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, was considered the legitimate emperor who is recognized today. However, after the edict, the world clearly understood that Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, had been controlled by Cao Cao as his puppet, and the emperor's name was greatly damaged.

In addition to recognizing Liu Xie as the legitimate emperor, the world also recognizes that Empress Fu is the legitimate queen.

The emperor has always ruled the world, and the empress and mother worshipped the world, which all represent the imperial power!

Liu Yu used Empress Fu as a sentence to sell dog meat with the title of sheep, forcibly established a team of the "Court" and did not have to be emperor, but also exercised the rights of the emperor. Although he was a little shameless, Empress Fu was a recognized legitimate queen and could represent part of the imperial power. Liu Yu also called himself a relative of the Han Dynasty, which naturally increased the weight of part of the imperial power represented by Empress Fu. It was also "reasonable" to superimpose several times!

If it is reasonable, it means it is reasonable, and if it is reasonable, it will block your mouth.

"Send this memorial to Chang'an City quickly and ask the Empress to stamp the seal!" After Liu Yu wrote the memorial, he asked him to send it to Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, Empress Fu naturally knew Liu Yu's purpose clearly, but she was willing to cooperate with Liu Yu. As long as Liu Yu could protect her, she could eventually defeat Cao Cao, kill Cao Cao, help her avenge the execution of the three Fu clans, and her two sons of Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie, were poisoned to death. She didn't care what Liu Yu wanted her to do, and was willing to cooperate unconditionally.

When Queen Fu heard that it was Liu Yu's memorial and asked her to stamp it, she did not hesitate at all and then stamped her own seal.
