Chapter 596 History Re-enacted

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When King Tiger saw that the alliance of vassal kings and the Dayong Dynasty were fighting fiercely.

I felt happy in my heart, wow, here comes the opportunity.

Just when he was about to go south to take advantage of the situation and ordered his ace troops, which were similar to the "Silver Feather Flying Cavalry" of Qizhou, to act as the vanguard.

Unexpectedly, Ning Piaomiao only led 30,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao outside the capital of Dayong.

The remaining 70,000 troops were all led by Shangguan Lie, who used their numerical advantage to block the ace unit head-on, surrounding it in a valley and attacking it.

When King Tiger discovered something was wrong and was about to lead a large cavalry force to provide support.

Ning Piaomiao was even quicker and defeated Cao Cao in one battle. Then he ordered the Taoist guardian An Yuluo to quickly lead the Liuyu Guards north.

An Yuluo, who had rushed thousands of miles, led the Liuyu Guards and nearly 100,000 troops around Shangguan Lie to surround the Tiger King's ace troops and fought for nearly a day and a night, completely annihilating them in Yongzhou.

And later, after Ning Piaomiao had rectified the situation outside the Dayong Imperial City, he deliberately set up confusion to make the suspicious Cao Cao hesitate to act rashly.

Afterwards, he headed north lightly, carrying the momentum of a great victory, and dealt another heavy blow to the Tiger King, forcing him to return to "Junzhou", the northernmost part of Dayong, in disgrace.

Shangguan Lie and Ning Piaomiao also took down the southernmost strong barrier of "Junzhou".

The Tiger King, who had lost all his elite troops, also lost the fortified pass in the south.

It can be said that we have entered the countdown to our demise.

Shangguan Lie accidentally picked up this commander from Taoism.

It can be said that he defeated Cao Cao and the Yong Dynasty represented by Sima Yi in three battles at the beginning, and then turned around and defeated the Northern Tiger King.

In a short period of time, the situation in the north of the Dayong Dynasty suddenly reversed.

Ning Piaomiao had just made his debut when he directly determined the situation in the northern part of the Dayong Dynasty with just a few battles.

Originally there were three parties in the north of the Dayong Dynasty. Shangguan Lie, who represented the alliance of vassal kings, rose up directly and successfully sucked the blood of Cao Cao and Tiger King to become the dominant force in the north of Dayong!
But for Ning Piaomiao, it was a little regrettable that when he and Shangguan Lie were preparing to besiege the capital of Dayong with a great victory.

He wanted to use the momentum of his successive victories to march directly to the capital of Dayong, intending to surround it in one fell swoop and force Cao Cao and the Dayong court in the city to surrender unconditionally.

Thus, the grand ambition of unifying the north without bloodshed was realized.

As the actual controller of the Dayong court, Cao Cao lived up to his title of Emperor Wu of Wei, and his wisdom and decisiveness were not in vain.

Faced with the strong approach of Shangguan Lie and Ning Piaomiao, he did not choose to sit and wait for death, but showed extraordinary calmness and courage.

Cao Cao knew very well that continuing to defend the capital was tantamount to a fight of trapped beasts. If he continued to hold on to the capital of Dayong, he would sooner or later be trapped to death in this cage by Shangguan Lie, and eventually end up with the city destroyed and people killed.

Cao Cao knew very well that as the "murderer" who had personally ended the rule of the previous King Jing, the hatred between him and Shangguan Lie was irreconcilable.

By that time, it is unknown whether the people in the court of Dayong and his arch-enemy Sima Yi will be safe or not.

But the murderer who killed the previous King Jing with his own hands must be Ga Ding.

Cao Cao knew very early on that he and Shangguan Lie were destined to fight to the death. In this game of power, he had no way out, only a life-and-death struggle.

Whether for the sake of his own reputation or for the sake of internal stability, Shangguan Lie had to personally kill Cao Cao, the murderer of his father.

Therefore, after noticing the abnormality in the opponent's offensive and sending several waves of light cavalry to test it, Cao Cao responded quickly.

Although no one knew why, the mysterious commander Ning Piaomiao and his Taoist soldiers who suddenly appeared on the opposite side suddenly disappeared without a trace (Cao Cao didn't know that it was a secret method).

But Cao Cao did not hesitate and made preparations quickly.

It is the same as the beginning of "using the emperor to command the princes" in history - moving the capital to Xuchang.

He immediately ordered the remaining tens of thousands of elite troops to escort the ministers of the Yong court, the young emperor and the empress dowager, and quietly retreat southward under the cover of night.

The speed of decision-making and the secrecy of action make people admire his experience and cunning.

When Shangguan Lie and Ning Piaomiao led the army to the capital, ready to launch the final siege, they found that the city was already deserted. Only an empty city was left, quietly telling the story of its past glory and present desolation.

By the time Shangguan Lie and Ning Piaomiao quickly adjusted their strategy and led the army south in pursuit.

Cao Cao had already settled down with many ministers of the Yong court and the young emperor and empress dowager in Honghao County, the southernmost part of Yongzhou, where the capital of Yong was located.

Honghao County, located at the southernmost tip of Yongzhou, has a dangerous terrain, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is a natural safe haven.

Cao Cao's choice of this place as the new capital was undoubtedly a declaration to the world.

The orthodoxy of the Dayong Dynasty did not fall into Shangguan Lie's hands. The flame of Dayong was still burning, but it just continued to shine in a different place.

Further south is Luzhou, where King Lu of the alliance of vassal kings is located, and Wenzhou on the other side, which is also ravaged by war.

Therefore, while waiting for Shangguan Lie to lead the army south, he finally saw the scene he least wanted to see.

The coalition forces, flying various flags of vassal kings, blocked their way!
Obviously, during this period of time, Shangguan Lie punched the Yong court and Cao Cao, and then kicked the Tiger King of Junzhou in the north. His strength was so strong that many weak vassal kings in the vassal alliance could not catch up.

The current King Jing, Shangguan Lie, can no longer get along with this group of weaklings who huddle together for warmth.

Even the purpose of their initial alliance was to resist the invasion of powerful vassal kings like Shangguan Lie.

It was precisely because of Shangguan Lie's strong rise that the southern princes felt a huge threat. They were worried that once Shangguan Lie unified the north, the next target would be these weak princes.

Therefore, when Shangguan Lie was about to completely dominate the northern part of Dayong, this part of the vassal kings in the south tacitly kicked him out of this small group in the vassal kings' alliance.

And the original Shangguan Lie was not to be outdone. Now the Jingzhou army under his command has won battle after battle and the morale is high. He is still unable to deal with you mob.

As a former member of the Princes' Alliance, Shangguan Lie knew better than anyone that the Princes' Alliance was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

To put it bluntly, anyone with a little bit of strength doesn't need to resort to this method of banding together for warmth to protect themselves.

Therefore, the alliance of vassal kings consists of the weakest among the kings of Dayong who are fighting for supremacy. Although there are many of them, their strengths are uneven, and they are considered to be the bottom-level shrimps.

Save it for those dragons to restore their health when they are hungry.
