    The arrival of the third army in Jiyin means that the war is about to begin.  Cao Cao sat in the large tent of the Chinese army. His eyes swept over every senior general and counselor in the vast tent. Thousands of thoughts surged through his chest. With 300,000 soldiers in his hands, Cao Cao's confidence was shattered in an instant.  Motivated, no matter how strong the enemy is, what can he do? When he first raised his army, he only had thousands of troops and only a few generals. The current situation has not happened yet. As long as he defeats the Xiliang army's attack, Cao Cao will have enough  With his confidence, he became the largest prince in the world in one fell swoop, even if he unified the world, it was not impossible.  "The 400,000 troops of the Liang Kingdom have all gathered in Jiyin. This is the critical moment of the decisive battle. No general can relax his vigilance. There are lone wolves and assassins in the Liang Kingdom army who are responsible for attacking enemy generals and counselors.  The assassination operation cannot be ignored. After the generals return, they must strengthen the security forces around them and not give Liang Guo a chance." Cao Cao said loudly: "The victory or defeat depends on this. I hope you, the generals, will encourage the officers and soldiers after you return.  Morale, strive to wipe out Liang's troops in one battle. "" Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories." The generals and counselors in the tent shouted in unison. Many generals' faces turned red, and they looked at Cao Cao with confidence, even after so many years.  , Cao Cao's army faced the battle of Liang State without victory, but they still had sufficient confidence in their hearts. They had followed Cao Cao for many years and witnessed Cao Cao's army standing up from difficult situations many times. They were almost fanatical about Cao Cao.  "Let Mr. Xi talk about the situation between the enemy and us." Cao Cao turned his attention to Xi Zhicai.  Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, with a slight blush on his pale face: "Liang country is powerful, and our army is not weak. Liang country has an army of 400,000, and we have 300,000, and our soldiers are experienced in hundreds of battles."  "Elite" Xi Zhicai listed all the advantages of Xiliang Army and Cao Army in just a few hundred words. In private, he did a lot of work, especially as a senior general and famous counselor in the Liang Army.  After the generals left with great ambition, Xi Zhicai and other counselors were left in the tent.  "The main counselors of the Liang Kingdom are headed by Jia Xu. Guo Jia and Xu Shu are all talented people. It is said that Tian Feng and Jushu are also among them. Their military is strong." Cao Cao said slowly, regarding the situation of Cao Jun, he  Without blind optimism, Liang Kingdom seemed to have raised hundreds of thousands of troops within three years. No one dared to have the slightest doubt about Liang Kingdom's ability to train soldiers.  All the counselors began to lower their heads and think deeply about Lun's strategy. Everyone in the tent was a leader in the army. They had experienced many wars, were rich in experience, and had thousands of strategies. However, the Xiliang army was not weak, especially in the Liang Kingdom.  After the scientific examination was carried out, a large number of talents were recruited for the Xiliang army. The talents for military affairs and local governance were like bamboo shoots after the rain.  On the seventh day after the army gathered in Jiyin, Cao Cao received a letter from Liang Guo.  In the center of the battlefield with tens of thousands of people, there was a table with several exquisite dishes and a bottle of spirits.  Cao Cao was accompanied by two generals, Xu Zhudianwei, and Jia Rong was also accompanied by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.  "Meng De, we haven't seen each other for many years. Let's drink to our original friendship." The two of them toasted at the same time.  After finishing the drink, Jia Rong smiled and said: "Back in Luoyang, I was just an unknown person. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the whole world would be in the hands of you and me." "Haha, Zhiyuan,  Now you are a high-ranking emperor, but as a brother, you are still an unknown person. "Cao Cao did not forget to attack Jia Rong. They were both ministers of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, and under Cao Jun's rule, the banner of the Han Dynasty still flew.  , but Jia Rong abandoned loyalty, established the Liang Kingdom, and became emperor.  "Why did Meng De say this? With Meng De's strength, wanting to become the emperor is just a matter of words. Today you and I gathered together just to talk about our original feelings and nothing else." Nearly two days.  An hour later, Jia Rong stood up and said: "Mengde, friendship is friendship, and the battlefield is a battlefield. I will not show any mercy." "Me too," Cao Cao replied.  The next day, Jia Rong directly sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to invite Cao Jun to fight.  The camps on both sides are large in scale, with hundreds of thousands of people, stretching for hundreds of miles. Even so, the soldiers living in them are still a bit crowded.  In the center of both sides, there are dozens of miles of open space to ensure that a large-scale war can begin.  Naturally, Cao Cao was not afraid of the opening battle, and directly sent Le Jin to lead 50,000 troops to fight. The two sides fought in full swing. In the first battle, both sides only launched tentative attacks, using thunderbolt chariots, ballistas and other weapons with great destructive power.  None are used.  After years of battle training and the stimulation of Liang's military strength, the strength of Cao's infantry has reached its peak. In the end, it was Ma Chao who led the 3,000 cavalry who decided the victory of this war.belongs.  In this battle, Cao Cao realized his own disadvantage, which was the cavalry. Although Cao Cao was very confident and wanted to make his cavalry into elites to compete with the Liang cavalry, there were many restrictions, and the cavalry was always a shortcoming.  "Your Majesty, now that the spring rain is coming, be careful to guard against Cao's army using water attacks. It's possible for Oh Ye Ze, Ju Ye Ze, He Ze and Lei Ze." Jia Xu said.  Jia Rong nodded slightly. In such a large-scale military battle, any factor may become a factor in defeat.  "Leave this matter to Jia Shangshu," Jia Rong said.  "In today's battle, Cao Jun's troops are indeed powerful in combat. They are powerful enemies of our army. We must not ignore them in any way. We must control the intelligence on the battlefield at all times and not give Cao Jun any chance." Jia Rong said.  After a short rest, the two sides started fighting again. This time, Liang State invested in siege rams, thunderbolt chariots and repeating ballistas. The three weapons were very skillful in coordination. The siege rams were slightly modified in the craftsman's workshop.  After that, it became a sharp weapon on the battlefield, with a horse behind it. Sharp steel was densely arranged around the charging car, and it rushed into the camp, bringing with it bursts of blood.  The car rushed to clear the way, and the clever cooperation of the Liannu car and the Pili car allowed Liang Guo to win a small victory again.  For half a month, the two sides continued to fight, with each other winning and losing. The total number of casualties reached 50,000.  On April 13, the sixth year of Kaiyuan, this day will surely go down in history. Emperor Jia Rong of the Liang Kingdom gathered all the troops and horses in his hands to fight Cao Jun to the death. After testing, both sides had the strength.  Some awareness.  In this battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, the Xiliang army's explosives were extremely powerful, and the Cao army's kerosene should not be underestimated either. Both sides used all means.  The battle lasted for a full day and night before it was declared over. Rivers of blood flowed, and the bodies of soldiers from both sides could be seen everywhere on the battlefield.  In this battle that was related to the situation of the world, Cao's army was completely defeated. Only more than 30,000 people returned from the 300,000-strong army.  The Xiliang army also paid a high price, sacrificing generals and soldiers, the total number reached 150,000, and countless people were injured. In general, the biggest gainer was the Liang Kingdom.  After clearing the battlefield, Liang State took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and cities were captured along the way. The 300,000-strong army was already all the strength of Cao's army. The defenses in various places were already very fragile. It did not take much effort to capture Yanzhou.  In the bag.  After condolences to the wounded soldiers, Jia Rong appeared in the Chinese army's tent with a gloomy face. The price paid for this victory was too high, especially the final confrontation between the cavalry of both sides, which was earth-shattering and a famous soldier defended with his life.  With the honor that belongs to your own army, in this battle, human life seems so worthless. No matter how capable you are, facing hundreds of thousands of people fighting, when you are finally exhausted, you are just the battalion general.  Liang Guo lost hundreds of generals, more than 30 regiment generals, and half of the 80,000 cavalry, not including the injured.  After this battle, it will take at least five years of recuperation to restore the military to its current peak.  However, the Liang Kingdom did not want to end the battle like this and lost nearly 300,000 troops. At this time, Cao's army was undoubtedly the weakest.  Within one month, Qingzhou declared its disintegration, and the Xiliang Army encountered very strong resistance. Under the death order issued by the superiors, the siege generals used the most brutal means, using explosives to blow open the city gates.  At this time, Cao Cao only had the land of Xuzhou.  After a round of inspection in the army, Cao Cao no longer had the lofty ambitions he had just rushed to Jiyin. He was defeated like a mountain and the 300,000 troops paid off, which meant that more than ten years of hard work had disappeared with this battle.  Xi Zhicai died. He was already terminally ill when he faced the Liang army.  Cao¡¯s army was defeated, and the Liang Kingdom captured Yanzhou and Qingzhou. The world was shocked, and Luoyang was completely boiling. For a long time, the headlines of newspapers were about the Liang Kingdom going to war.  After the news of the great victory spread back to Liang Kingdom, the sales of newspapers on that day reached one million copies, and many businessmen even promoted many activities to celebrate this day of universal celebration.  Pengcheng, Xuzhou, became Cao Cao's final destination. After the Liang army besieged Pengcheng for a month, Cao Cao chose to commit suicide, leaving three feet of white cloth to sum up his fate.  In November of the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Jia Rong of the Liang Kingdom commanded 400,000 troops and recaptured Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places. Cao Cao committed suicide and died. Jia Rong ordered that he be buried with royal honors.  Once his rival for many years died, Jia Rong did not feel any joy. Instead, he felt a touch of sadness lingering in his heart. After many years,How much blood has been stained on my hands? Since I came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I have been rushing to the battlefield. Now the huge foundation of the Liang Kingdom is actually built up by the accumulation of countless blood and corpses.  This moment of understanding made Jia Rong cherish his current achievements even more, perhaps in order to prevent the people from falling into war again. After experiencing so much, he also understood the hardships and hardships of people's lives. Although many people in Liang Kingdom  Policies are actually good for the people, but those who live at the bottom are still the people, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. The status of farmers is second, but in fact, they are not as good as businessmen.
