Chapter 1131: Dingding the World (End of the Book)
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Cao Zhang led 10,000 troops to escape from the Cao army camp and moved eastward. Cao Zhang had a gloomy face and said nothing, his heart was filled with regret and hatred. He regretted that he should not lead his army to Yedu.
If he had 20,000 elite troops at that time, he could go directly to Liaodong, establish a foundation in Liaodong, and even conquered Goryeo, and he would have preserved the Cao Wei country overseas, it was his thoughts that led to him choosing the wrong direction.
In order to hate Xiahou Dun's ruthlessness and stubbornness, Cao Zhang also destroyed half of the Cao Wei country, including most of his army.
Now Yedu has been captured by the Han army, and his brother and official surrender, he no longer retreated and had to rush to Liaodong and rebuild the country of Cao Wei with his 10,000 troops.
Cao Zhang led 10,000 troops to move quickly. When dawn was approaching, he led his army to walk fifty miles ahead. There was a low valley in front of him, with lush forests on both sides. This was the junction of Changshan County and Julu County. There were no cities around. After passing the valley, Julu County was Julu County.
Cao Zhang then breathed a little relieved. At this time, he looked back and found that the soldiers were exhausted. The marching team was stretched to five or six miles. Then he stopped the order of the horse and said, "The front army was suspended!"
The soldiers of the front army also stopped one after another, and the team was long. He had to wait for the soldiers behind him. The long way to Liaodong was to go, so he could not hurry.
At this moment, the sound of drums suddenly appeared in the valleys on both sides, and the shouts of killing were shocking the sky. Two armies were killed one from left to right.
A veteran on the right, with white hair and white beard, and a majestic figure. He had a golden back in his hand and was the veteran Huang Zhong. The general on the left held two halberds in his hand. He was tall and burly, with sharp eyes, but he was a fierce general Gan Ning.
In order to completely annihilate the last Cao army without leaving any loopholes, Liu Jing had already laid a net of heaven and earth, and there was a hiking mountain to the west, and Cao's army had no choice but to leave.
Liu Jing personally led the main force to block the road to Cao's army heading north, while Zhao Yun and Pin's army blocked the passage to Cao's army heading south.
Huang Zhong and Gan Ning led 80,000 troops to surround Cao Zhangjun who were preparing to flee to Liaodong.
Cao Zhang was so shocked that his liver and gallbladder were split, and he fled. Huang Zhong could see clearly. He pulled out an arrow, drew the arrow, and pulled the bow like a full moon. When the string was loosened, the wolf-tooth arrow shot out like lightning.
Although they were fifty steps apart, Cao Zhang couldn't escape Huang Zhong's archery skills. The arrow hit Cao Zhang's back neck, and the tip of the arrow came out of his throat. Cao Zhang covered his throat and fell down from the war horse.
Eighty thousand Han troops came from all directions, cut off all the retreats of Youzhou troops, killing them so hard that they cried and shouted to their parents, and they knelt down and surrendered.
At this time, Huang Zhong urged his horse to run to Cao Zhang. Seeing that Cao Zhang was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled out a short steel spear and stabbed it hard.
Some people can accept surrender, but some people must die in battle. This is the explanation from King of Han Liu Jing to the chief generals of each army. Huang Zhong has been through the world for a long time, and he deeply understands the profound meaning of the King of Han.

Sixty thousand Cao's army had been besieged by nearly 400,000 Han troops in Gaoyi County. The soldiers were sluggish and the morale of the army had collapsed. All the soldiers knew that Yedu had been broken, and the soldiers of the Cao army had no intention of fighting, so they were waiting for the moment when the commander ordered the surrender.
At night, the desolate music of the eighteen beatings of the Hu Ba came from all sides. The music was sad and long, full of longing for my hometown and relatives. Countless soldiers of Cao army walked out of the tent and listened blankly to the music coming from afar under the moonlight.
The soldiers knelt on the ground, burst into tears, and even the thousands of Hu Ben Guard cavalry guarding the camp gate were sad and had no intention of working for Xiahou Dun anymore. They threw down their weapons and returned to the camp tent.
Without the obstruction of the Hu Ben Guard, the gate of the Cao army camp was wide open. Countless Cao army soldiers took off their armor and discarded their weapons, rushed out of the camp in groups, and raised their hands to walk towards the Han army camp in the distance.
In the central army's tent, Xiahou Dun sat alone at the table to drink. More than a dozen empty wine pots had been abandoned beside him. Xiahou Dun drank one cup after another, and he had already felt 70% of the wine.
At this time, a personal guard came to report in panic: "General, the military camp has lost control and there are many deserters, so I can't stop it."
Xiahou Dun seemed to have heard nothing, and was still drinking one cup after another. At this time, his confidant general Zhao Kaifeng whispered: "General, go quickly, we can mingle with the surrendered troops and break out."
Xiahou Dun stood up and slowly said to the personal soldiers beside him: "You all go and prepare! I'll pack up my things a little and come out now."
The personal soldiers left the tent to prepare war horse weapons, but Xiahou Dun took his sword from the sword stand next to him. He slowly pulled out the sword, and the blade was shining coldly and extremely sharp.
This is Yuan Shao's sword. Twenty years ago, Mr. Wei personally presented the sword to himself. He once raised the sword and sweared that the sword was in Cao's army!
"It's God's will!"
Xiahou Dun suddenly smiled miserably, wiped his sword across his neck, and a wisp of blood was spurted out, and a generation of powerful general Xiahou Dun committed suicide...
The chief general Xiahou Dun committed suicide, and the Cao army was in a desperate situation. Zhang Liao, Guo Huai and Xu Chu raised their troops to surrender to the Han army. The last 60,000 Cao army disappeared under the siege of 400,000 Han army.
.........
Under the escort of ten thousand cavalry, Liu Jing slowly entered the last capital of the old Han Dynasty from the north of Yedu. On both sides of the street, every household set up incense tables and knelt on the ground to welcome His Highness the King of Han into the city.
At this moment, Liu Jing's heart was ups and downs. He raised his army from Chaisang and fought for nearly eighteen years. He finally broke through the final obstacle and unified the world.
Those wars slowly flowed past his eyes again, and everything seemed to have happened yesterday, but many years have passed.
Liu Jing came to the front of Ye Palace. The Ye Palace had been sealed by the Han army. Later, Cao Jie was placed under house arrest. The young emperor was also invited to be the emperor. In front of Ye Palace, Han army guards were standing there.
At this time, Liu Hu stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, Yedu has sealed the palace, and there has been no chaotic incident."
Liu Jing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!"
He turned over and dismounted and walked quickly into Ye Palace. Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang followed him and walked in front of the hall. Liu Jing looked up at the magnificent main hall.
He turned around and smiled at Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, "More than one person has advised me to burn the Tongque Palace and Ye Palace after attacking Yedu, and completely cut off the royal aura of Cao Wei and the old Han. What do you two think?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "After Cao Cao captured Xiangyang, someone advised him to burn Liu Biao's provincial governor's palace, but Cao Cao said that the royal aura is free from the people. Unless you kill the people in the world, the royal aura will emerge from any place. I will forward this sentence to Your Highness!"
Liu Jing laughed, "Well said it! The kingly spirit is free and the people's hearts."
He strode towards the Dragon Tail Step. More than a dozen guards followed him, but were stopped by Liu Jing waved his hand and asked the guards to wait outside. He walked into the Xuanzheng Hall alone.
The hall was wide and empty. At this time, Liu Jing's eyes fell on the high ivory dragon couch. There was also such an ivory dragon couch inlaid with gold edges in Chang'an. It was a supreme symbol, but he had never sat there.
But today, at this moment, Liu Jing slowly walked up the jade steps, turned around and sat down on the dragon couch. He looked high at the empty hall, imagining that both sides were full of military officers.
He suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable loneliness, but this loneliness just flashed away, and a kind of ambition to look down on the world immediately emerged in his heart.
Liu Jing stood up with confidence. It was time, and Ruizhao should appear.
