Late October, Xiangyang, please call me soon.

"Report! Lord! Maicheng was destroyed, General Zhang Yun died in battle, the bandit army...can't stop it!"

"What!?"

Liu Biao, who was as fat as a fat pig and had gray hair, felt a tightness in his chest, a sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the sky.

"Lord!"

All civil and military officials in the hall were shocked. Cai Hao grabbed the scout's collar angrily: "It's only been half a month! How did the yellow thief manage to defeat Nanjun and Maicheng!?"

"General...General..." The scout had a look of fear on his face: "The bandit army has a terrible siege weapon, like thunder and lightning. The gates of Nanjun and Maicheng are like gravel in front of the sharp weapon. They collapse at the first touch. The defenders can't resist at all.

Can’t live.”

"This...how is this possible!?"

Not only Cai Mao, but all civil and military officials were stunned.

Thunderbolt?

Could it be that God wants to destroy our noble clan?

"General, what should I do?" A civil servant walked up to Cai Mao and asked in a low voice.

Cai Mao's expression kept changing. The property of his noble family was all in Jingzhou. Once it was occupied by Huang Shang, all the property would be taken away by him. This was something that no one present wanted to see.

Judging from the current situation, it is definitely unstoppable, so the only thing that can be done is to seize the time to pack up the family property and take refuge in the north or Shu before Huang Shang comes.

Although the land left in Jingzhou will definitely not be recovered, at least the family members and wealth can be saved, and there is hope for a comeback in the future.

"There is no other way." Cai Hao drew out his sword, killed the scout with one blow, and said to everyone in a hoarse voice: "Escape!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, looking up to the sky and sighing: "It's not that we are incompetent, but it's destiny, there is nothing we can do!"

If Huang Shang heard this, he would slap them with a big mouth.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. You have to talk about destiny.

This group of noble officials have no other skills, but the ability to blame others has been flowing in their blood for many years.

...I am three days...

When Huang Shang's army arrived at Xiangyang City, they were already prepared for a big battle. Unexpectedly, the city gates of Xiangyang were opened wide, and the people automatically separated into two rows, eating pots of pulp to welcome the arrival of Huang Shang's army.

"..."

All the soldiers looked at Huang Shang with admiration. Zhao Zilong clasped his fists and said: "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. My lord, I will win the hearts of the people and bring peace to the world. It will be just around the corner."

Huang Shang smiled and patted Zhao Zilong on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that Zilong also learned to flatter."

Zhao Zilong said quickly: "These are the words from the bottom of my heart."

"Hahaha..." Huang Shang laughed, pointing his sword at the Xiangyang City Gate: "Enter the city!"

A month later, Huang Shang captured all the land in Jingzhou and completely occupied half of the Han territory.

As the saying goes, before we fight foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs, so Huang Shang settled down and took up the internal affairs of Jingzhou.

Fight local tyrants, divide the land, promulgate various policies, and have the talents trained under them go to implement them in various places. Because the big families in Jingzhou headed by Cai Mao left early, the small families who stayed behind had little ability to resist.

He was easily dismantled by Huang Shang, or sent to labor reform, or rewarded to meritorious officials.

Familiar doors and familiar roads.

As for the large clans in Jingzhou who escaped, it is said that most of them went to the north of the Yellow River. Although it was a bit chaotic there, it was far away from Huang Shang's territory. Even if Huang Shang defeated Cao Cao in the future, it would not be easy to reach the north of the Yellow River.

, if Cao Cao is lucky and eliminates Huang Shang, then they will be able to sit back and relax.

In addition, a small number of people fled to Yizhou. Yizhou is a land of abundance and has dangerous mountains and rivers. It would not be easy for Huang Shang to attack them. They thought it would be safer to hide here.

Of course their idea was correct, but they didn't know that a huge change had occurred in this era, a bug that could turn agricultural civilization into industrial civilization within fifty years.

For example, the two-wheeled vehicle-mounted cannon began mass production in 12 years.

In fact, Huang Shang also considered mass-producing muskets, but considering that there were so many generals in this era, if muskets were invented, these generals would lose their due glory, such as his subordinates Gan Ning, Zhao Zilong, etc.

Think about it carefully, wouldn't it be very uncomfortable if Zhao Zilong was shot down by Luo Ping'an?

Therefore, Huang Shang gave up the development of muskets for the time being.

When he captures Yizhou and needs to face the northern cavalry, it will be time for mass production of muskets.

For now, cannons are enough, especially when attacking Yizhou. Cannons are as useful as artifacts in breaking through passes.

At the same time, the news that Huang Shang possessed a siege artifact spread throughout the Han Dynasty along with the fleeing Jingzhou nobles. This made Cao Cao, who was originally confident in himself, suspicious, and also made Liu Zhang in Yizhou panic.

Now Huang Shang has occupied the entire south of the Han Dynasty, and the closest forces to him are Cao Cao and Liu Zhang.

The southerners were good at boats, so they would definitely not be able to defeat the northern cavalry. However, Yizhou was a basin and there were no cavalry. So facing Huang Shang, who made his fortune from Jiaozhou, a place with many mountains and rivers, who would he fight next? It was obvious.

Fortunately, Huang Shang magnanimously gave Liu Zhang a year to enjoy himself. It was not until after the autumn harvest of the next year that he ordered Zhao Zilong and Gan Ning to divide their troops into two groups and attack Baidi City, Badong, and Kuiguan along the river.

Linjiang, then take Fuling, Bajun, Jiangyang, and go straight to Chengdu; the other way starts from Shangyong and goes straight to Hanzhong.

At this time, Hanzhong was the territory of Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was the third-generation Heavenly Master of Wu Dou Mi Dao. It is said that he was the tenth grandson of Liuhou Zhang Liang and the grandson of Zhang Ling.

Maybe not many people know about Zhang Ling, but when it comes to Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, many people know about it.

Yes, Zhang Tianshi, who was included in the lineage of Taoist immortals by later generations and was the founder of the Taoist Taoism, was Zhang Lu's grandfather.

And Maoshan is the righteous lineage, so Huang Shang, the descendant of Maoshan, should call Zhang Lu the master, ancestor, ancestor, ancestor...

Xu is such a relationship. When Huang Shang dispatched Zhao Zilong to attack Hanzhong, he deliberately explained that he stayed in Zhang Lu for a life. At that time, he would take it back to see him, and see if the ancestor of the teacher was called the wind and the rain and the rain.

The ability to make a bean into a soldier?

If you really have this ability, then you should have a good exchange of ideas, so as to leave some Maoshan Taoism in this world.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one, it’s better to keep the Three Kingdoms world pure.

Although Zhao Zilong had a question mark on his forehead, he still kept this incident in mind. When he attacked Hanzhong, he directly lined up his artillery and shouted: "Hanzhong Zhang Lu surrender quickly, otherwise the thunder will fall and you will be called."

Wait until you die without a complete body!"

"..."

Zhang Lu was very angry and shouted: "Don't do this! If you have the ability, come over!"

"..."

Zhao Zilong sighed and said to himself: Lord, it's not that the general is disobeying orders, it's Zhang Lu who is seeking death himself, and the general can only help him.

"fire!"

boom--

...I am half a day...

Zhao Zilong looked at the disgraced Zhang Lu who was being escorted over, and felt relieved: Fortunately, it's the best of both worlds.

After Zhao Zilong captured Hanzhong, he first asked a small team to escort Zhang Lu to Jianye, then left a group of officials and garrison guards to guard him, and finally led the remaining troops straight to Dingjun Mountain.

Dingjun Mountain is the legendary place in history where Lao Huang Zhong killed Xia Houyuan. At this time, the defender of Dingjun Mountain was a helper who did not deserve his name. He was blown into pieces by Zhao Zilong's order.

After that, Zhao Zilong conquered Yangping Pass, Baima Pass, Baishui Pass, Jiange, Brazil, Xichong, Deyang, and Danqu, and then pursued Gan Ning from Bajun along the river and went straight to Chengdu.

When Zhao Zilong arrived in Chengdu, Gan Ning was already waiting for him at the top of the city.

"Hahaha, Zilong, it seems I am one step faster!"

Zhao Zilong smiled broadly. He knew that after taking Yizhou, he would be getting closer to peace in the world.

In the spring of the next year, Huang Shang entered Chengdu and Yizhou was completely under his rule.

Judging from the current map, Cao Cao's territory has fallen into his encirclement.
Chapter completed!
