    Rebirth of Sun Ce VIP Chapter 171 Emperor Xian's counterattack. He watched his left forearm fall to the ground with splattering blood. After bouncing a few times, there was no reaction at all.  Cao Chun's originally fair face instantly became colorless.  The wounds on his upper arms and elbows seemed to be completely painless.

    Seeing that Cao Chun, who was so lively and energetic before, suddenly fell into a sluggish state.  Chen Dao, however, would not have had the slightest pity for him, if it were not for his originally good martial arts skills, and after hard training, he had mastered the essence of his lord's Tai Chi.

    He had already been besieged by Cao Jun and died at Hulao Pass.

    Not only will he not be able to complete the mission assigned by his master, he will also be despised by the soldiers in the army.  Does a person who failed his mission still want to get any honor in the military?  Not to mention being able to avenge the blood feud today.

    Chen Dao's hand was merciless with two more knives, cutting off Cao Chun's hands and feet.  When he was about to make the fourth cut, Cao Chun's guards finally rushed forward, and two of them caught Cao Chun who was about to fall to the ground.

    More than a dozen other guards rushed forward in grief and anger, surrounded Chen Dao and started a group attack.  In an instant, sword lights were everywhere. Chen Dao, a brave man who was an expert in martial arts, waved the sword in his hand like a windmill without any care, preventing water from splashing in.

    While resisting, he shouted: "Haha, here we go again! I know that you bastards like Cao Jun will only rely on more to win. It was like this in front of Hulao Pass, and it will be like this again today. Do you really think I am afraid of you?"

    Chen Dao, who had defeated his great enemy, felt happy and screamed loudly.  The knife in his hand kept attacking these elite guards.  As soon as he took one step forward, he ran into two of Cao Chun's guards. Under Chen Dao's full blow, the two of them immediately fell to death on the spot.

    But being able to protect the Leopard Cavalry General, these people are certainly masters with some abilities.  Seeing that his brother was beheaded in a hurry, he immediately shouted and shrank his formation, and moved steadily to surround Chen Dao.

    With this cooperation, only six or seven people joined forces to attack, but they were evenly matched with Chen Dao.  After more than ten moves, Chen Dao got into a fight and became furious.  Using the exquisite sword power, he killed two people again.

    The guards holding the formation exclaimed and immediately added four more people to the encirclement.  The fighting below the city gradually subsided, but the fighting at the top of the city became increasingly fierce.  The guards captured Cao Chun, and several of them were responsible for treating the seriously injured general.

    Others commanded the soldiers to break out, and nearly a thousand soldiers went to kill Chen Deng, Xu Gu and others.  The people below the city also began to swarm up, and the three parties were completely involved in a melee.

    Seeing that our own people have little fighting power at all when facing the enemy.  Only relying on Cheng Dang and dozens of scouts from the Spark Camp to support him, Cheng Dang became furious and knocked over a soldier of Cao who rushed towards him with a stick.

    He hurriedly took the time to help Chen Deng block the opponent in front of him, and shouted: "Master Taishou! Send someone to open the city gate quickly and ask for help from our troops below the city. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, sooner or later, our few troops will  I¡¯ll be exhausted by these shameless bastards!¡±

    "That's right! Okay! Now I leave the city gate to you!" Chen Deng, who was being annoyed by Sergeant Cao's soldiers, immediately returned to the city and personally commanded the people to open the city gate.  As soon as the closed city gate opened, Chen Deng rushed out of the city.

    Zhang Fei, who was complaining about losing his vanguard, heard Chen Deng say that the battle at the top of the city was fierce.  A pair of leopard eyes immediately shined, he jumped up and took off the spare ax from the horse beside him, and rushed to the city to become his black whirlwind.

    Zhou Cang, who was originally guarding Sun Ce, was naturally not to be outdone, but with his lord's permission, he also ran to the top of the city with Zhang Fei croaking in hot pursuit.

    With the addition of Zhang Fei, Zhou Cang and other fierce generals, the Leopard Riders who were still fighting at the top of the city were immediately killed by the new force headed by the two men.

    This is the final battle for both sides. Those who do not surrender will die. There is no third way.  Zhang Fei and other generals, who were murderous and violent, brought a thousand reinforcements and killed them all the way down.

    Of the nearly a thousand Leopard Knights who could stand, there were only about two hundred of them.  This was because these people had been completely frightened by Zhang Fei's ferocious massacre and gathered around Cao Chun, not daring to step forward to take action again.

    The remaining soldiers who were surrounded by the Jiangnan Army saw Zhang Fei striding over after killing one of them.  They all nervously clenched the weapons in their hands, as if Zhang Fei taking another step forward would cause them to counterattack.

    But their actions were only met with a contemptuous look from Zhang Fei: "Bah, a bunch of cowardly trash! If you want to surrender, then put down your weapons! If I count to three and those who are still holding weapons will die!  , two, three!¡±

    Before the three words were spoken, there was already the sound of a sword falling to the ground in the corner of the city.  The mutilated limbs and pieces of meat everywhere really frightened the courage of these remnant soldiers.In the face of a powerful force that cannot be resisted, he will want to die in vain.

    What¡¯s more, several military commanders and team leaders who could fight have been reduced to pieces under Zhang Fei¡¯s axe.  The general, Cao Chun, was missing three of his limbs and had already fainted from excessive bleeding.  Soldiers without their backbone have no courage to fight.

    Seeing that the battle in the city had subsided, Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce with some emotion: "Brother! It seems that this Leopard Cavalry is really elite! It can actually resist until ten or seventy-eight before it chooses to surrender! There is only one in the world.  Our Jiangnan Army can fight with him!"

    "Haha! Yes!" Sun Ce smiled and said: "It is said that these soldiers are elites selected by Cao Cao from generals above the rank of corps commander. He naturally values ??them very much, and must have strengthened his education for their loyalty and courage. Xian Cao  ¡ñ, don¡¯t forget that he also has a more fierce tiger cavalry. Their equipment and skills are not inferior to our cavalry. That is our strongest opponent. It¡¯s a pity, it is estimated that none of those tiger cavalry who are good at fighting will surrender.  Woolen cloth!"

    "Yes! Brother, if our cavalry hadn't been equipped with the latest sabers and armors, they wouldn't have had any advantage against these tiger cavalry. But now, we don't have to worry about them.

    With the armor-piercing arrows recently sent from the craftsman camp, no matter how brave Cao Jun¡¯s tiger cavalry is, they can still kill him with random arrows!  What my brother said, technology is combat power, is indeed the truth!  I sincerely admire Ma Jun, Pu Yuan and others for being able to reuse them in advance!  "

    "Haha, Gongjin, I can't tell that as you get older, your ability to flatter is getting better and better!"

    The fighting inside and outside the city completely subsided as the Jiangnan Army entered the city.  Sun Ce and others finally entered the city, took control of the Guangling Prefecture, and formally accepted the surrender of Guangling Prefect Chen Deng.

    Chen Deng, who took the initiative to seek refuge, naturally followed the imperial decree and remained as the prefect of Guangling County.  However, according to the latest laws enacted by the Han Dynasty, all remaining county soldiers in the city were recruited.  Or be sent home to farm, or become a government official.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: and were sent to the new military camp in Shu County, and only a few hundred people were re-trained.  Guangling, this important territory that Wu Jun who had blocked the south of the Yangtze River wanted to cross to the north, officially belonged to the Jiangnan Army.

    In the lobby of the Prefect¡¯s Mansion, Chen Deng was extremely excited as he finally got what he wanted.  He prostrated himself to Sun Ce and said, "I, Chen Deng, the Grand Administrator of Guangling, thank you for your kindness!" Then he received the imperial edict formally appointing him as the Grand Administrator of Guangling and read it carefully several times.

    On the imperial edict of Ming Dynasty, there are many bright red seals of various kinds.  A piece of delicate silk is as if the emperor is personally present.  This made Chen Deng, who was excited, not so resistant to losing military power.

    The smart Chen Deng comforted himself: "Since you have chosen to join them, you should sincerely submit to their control! At least I, Chen Deng, can make the final say on matters in Guangling County. This is a good arrangement.  ."

    Just when Sun Ce and others were busy taking over the military power of Guangling County, Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River was not far away.  In the splendid palace, inside the Qinzheng Hall.  Emperor Xian, who looked calm, was sitting high on his brand new throne, looking at a group of old ministers who suddenly entered the palace to ask for an audience.

    Whether it is the uncle Dong Cheng, the Taiwei Yang Biao, the Tai servant Han Rong, the Dazhong doctor Kong Rong, the censor Zhongcheng Zhongyao and others are all gathered here at this time.  Most of these are loyal people who followed Emperor Xian on the way to move the capital.

    It is also the last force that Emperor Xian can trust.  At this time, Dong Cheng had been taken back as a general of cavalry due to the military reform led by the Jiangnan Army.

    It was just because of his role in protecting the emperor that he was granted the sinecure position of Duke Dingguo.  Although his rank has improved a lot, he has no real power in his hands at this time.

    Seeing Emperor Xian looking at everyone with doubts on his face, Dong Cheng stepped forward with a happy face, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty! The time has come! Ten days ago, the Jiangnan Army was dispatched in large numbers. It was reported that the former army is now  Have crossed the river.

    Sun Bofu and his sworn brother Zhou Gongjin personally led the front army across the river to prepare for a surprise attack on Guangling.  Other generals of the Jiangnan Army and military advisor Guo Jia, leading a 100,000-strong Chinese army, will then cross the river to support them.

    There are currently less than 10,000 guards in Jinling City, and the leading generals are only two captains.  One is named Pan Zhang and the other is named Wei Yan.  Both of them are young generals in their twenties, so what great abilities can they have?  This is a good opportunity for us to take action!  "

    "Ah!" Emperor Xian's face suddenly flushed, but he felt a little unbelievable in his heart. He asked subconsciously: "Is this really so? How could Sun Ce leave so confidently and boldly? Could this be a target?  Our trap?¡±

    Hearing the emperor¡¯s worries, Dong Cheng smiled more and more proudly in his heart: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your emperor, this is because I have ordered several of the most capable spies to investigate in all directions.?The conclusion drawn after analysis must not be fraudulent.

    ¡°And we also have the support of General Xu.  The information he gathered was verified to be consistent with the information obtained by the minister.  Therefore, there is absolutely no lie in this matter. Just rest assured, Your Majesty, and just give the order to take action!  "

    The servant Han Rong also stepped forward with confidence on his face and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Bofu thinks he is powerful in martial arts. He is very similar to the two thieves Li and Guo in Chang'an. These generals are all willful and self-willed.  generation.

    They warriors never paid attention to us civil servants.  Let's talk about his new laws. As civil servants and officials of the Han Dynasty, they were not allowed to take charge of the army, let alone the power to mobilize troops.

    ¡°When he transferred all his soldiers and horses this time, he will definitely think that we have no soldiers and we dare not and cannot do anything big!  "

    Before Han Rong could finish speaking, the excited Dong Cheng immediately continued: "What the servant said makes sense. That's what Sun Bofu must have thought. But he missed something. Without his soldiers, it will be more convenient for us."  act.

    Haha, Your Majesty, over the years you have led your ministers to endure hardships and come back thousands of miles.  With hard support, I finally managed to make Yunkai Ri appear again!  The Emperor regains control of the world today!  Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!  "

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the imperial uncle Dong Cheng, and all the ministers who came to the palace bowed to the emperor together, and shouted long live the mountain.

    Dong Cheng's increasingly excited words made it seem as if the ZTE of the Han Dynasty had arrived, and Emperor Xian suddenly stood up from the throne.  In order to wait for the day of counterattack, Emperor Xian has paid too much and waited for too long.

    And when this day finally arrives, how can we not be extremely excited?

    "Okay, okay! I know that you have been with me for many years and are all loyal, benevolent and filial people. As long as I take back the imperial power of our Han Dynasty, you will all be famous ministers of the resurgence of our Han Dynasty, and I will definitely not treat you lightly.  .

    After the end of the matter, I would order to build an eternity of the ancients.  Carve your names on the stele, so that the people of the Han Dynasty will remember your names from generation to generation, respect you, and commemorate you!  "

    Emperor Xian, who had been suppressed for a long time, became more and more excited, and the sound shook the top of the hall for a while.  Dong Cheng hurriedly stopped him in a low voice: "The emperor's important mission has not yet been successful. To prevent the secrets from being leaked, it is better to speak softly! Be careful, be careful!"

    The impassioned Emperor Xian suddenly stopped his speech and almost choked in his throat.  Suddenly there was a burst of violent coughing: "Cough cough cough, yes, yes, be careful! Then proceed according to the previous plan!"

    Taiwei Yang Biao also had a solemn look on his face, and then he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, seizing power is a serious matter. It is not appropriate to delay. Please issue an order!"

    Faced with the power that was about to return to his hands, Emperor Xian, who had already felt calm, could no longer pretend to be calm.  He responded with some stuttering: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I will issue an order now, I will issue an order now! Call the loyal soldiers from all over the world to come to the capital to serve the king!"

    On the spacious imperial desk in front of the throne, the brand-new imperial edict and the emperor's seal are all neatly arranged there.  Emperor Xian left his seat, took a big step forward, and stood right in front of the imperial case.

    With slightly trembling hands and feet, I personally laid out a piece of yellow silk and took up a pen and began to write down the will that had been brewing in my heart for several years.

    "The emperor's edict from heaven is: General Zhendong of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao is the pastor of Yanzhou. Yuan Shao, the pastor of Jizhou of the Han Dynasty, has been fighting for several years due to trivial matters. Today is a special purpose to mediate a truce between the two armies. Both sides must stop fighting and make peace.

    When the decree comes, Cao Cao will be granted the title Duke of Zhenguo and General.  Yuan Shao is granted the title of Assistant Duke and Grand Sima, and he will enter the capital immediately to serve as king!  On the day of entering the capital, the two of you will be rewarded again!  Admire this!  "

    After writing the imperial edict, Emperor Xian began to use his various related seals.  Originally, these were the tasks of the eunuch holding the seal, but they were of great importance. However, Emperor Xian worked tirelessly and took care of them himself.

    In the plan of Dong Cheng and others, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two armies with similar strength, were transferred to the capital at the same time.  With a little power in his hands, the emperor can adopt the golden mean and gain real power.

    If anyone wants to stir up trouble, the people who are loyal to the emperor will unite with the other party to eliminate and incorporate them.

    No matter how strong the Jiangnan Army is, they can naturally be restrained by the alliance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

    What¡¯s more, as long as the emperor regains power, he can naturally abolish the unreasonable laws made by Jiangnan Army.  At that time, the world is in the hands of the emperor again, and he immediately recruits millions of troops in the south of the Yangtze River. He, Sun Ce, can only defeat 100,000 troops, and he can't climb to the sky.

    In order to prevent the recurrence of the last time outside Luoyang City, only Sun Ce's family came.  Dong Cheng had already sent several capable envoys to have many contacts and negotiations with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were at war, and finally agreed on the terms of cooperation.

    Has already been attackedExhausted by the procrastination, Yuan and Cao, both of whom wanted a truce, had a step to step down.  Coupled with dissatisfaction with Sun Ce's sole control of the court, both parties unanimously agreed to Dong Cheng's proposal, called a truce, and led troops to Beijing.

    Of course, among their conditions, the division of Jiangnan Army¡¯s resources will not be missing.  Anyway, as long as Sun Ce has it now, each of them will get three points.  Whether it is power, food, materials, weapons, population, etc.

    As for whether Sun Ce will agree or not, that is not up to him.  Anyway, Yuan and Cao will go all out. By then, the emperor and the three parties will have at least 200,000 elite soldiers and horses, taking control of the capital and the court.  I don¡¯t believe Sun Ce could say no.

    And Dong Cheng was afraid that the contact strength was not enough, so he sent several secret envoys.  With a large amount of money and a huge amount of grain and grass, Xu contacted the Qiang, Hu, Xianbei and other ethnic groups, a total of 30,000 Hu cavalry, and ordered them to sneak into Jinling secretly.  Now he has arrived in Jiangbei, lurking in a hidden place.

    As long as there are mutual constraints from multiple forces, it will be the best opportunity for the emperor to reestablish his power.  When the emperor regains power, it will not be difficult at all to mobilize some gold, silver, and iron weapons from all Han Dynasties to the barbarians.

    As for the food and grass that the barbarians desire most, that¡¯s nothing.  The Jiangnan Army has thousands of warehouses in various places, which are filled with mountains of grain.  What's more, the food harvested twice a year can't be eaten at all now, and much of it is used to feed livestock.

    With so much leftover grain left to rot in the warehouse, what¡¯s the big deal if you give those barbarians millions or tens of millions of grain?

    For Dong Cheng and others who were eager to stand up and become the masters, they used the Jiangnan Army's things to recruit reinforcements and then used them to deal with the Jiangnan Army.  This is definitely a wonderful move - a good move to reach the top. Whether it is Dong Cheng who proposed this proposal or the ministers who are discussing it, this is what they think.

    Seeing Emperor Xian finish writing the imperial edict and drying the ink.  Dong Cheng, the closest confidant, also stepped forward and picked up the yellow silk envelope of the same material that had been prepared.  Roll up the imperial edict and carefully put it inside.

    These thin imperial edicts are the hope of the entire Han Dynasty to revive again.  It was also the hope of Emperor Xian to endure the humiliation and take over the power, and it was also the hope of them, the last loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.
