Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 27 042. Liu Bei Eats Human Flesh

Wang Hao was preparing to fight against Liu Biao, and the mercenaries sent to monitor Liu Bei received another message.

After receiving the news, Wang Hao asked Zhang Ren, who was far away in Hebei, to go to the Bohai Sea to pick him up, and then returned home with the letter to Zhao Zhaofeng.

"Brother, nowadays the princes of the world are fighting for hegemony, and the people are living in dire straits. I can forgive some things, but I cannot forgive some things.

This time, regardless of whether the second brother knows the truth or not, if he insists on going his own way, if we meet on the battlefield in the future, don't blame me..."

Wang Hao took out the letter and handed it to Zhao Feng, but he couldn't say the rest.

He was afraid that speaking out would make Zhao Yu unbearable. After all, Zhao Yu was seven months pregnant and was about to give birth. If he was emotional, he might not dare to treat the fetus.

"You bastard... How could I, Zhao Feng, have such a younger brother..."

After Zhao Feng read the letter, his face was red and his eyes were bloodshot.

Now he can't wait to find Zhao Yun and give him a few slaps, he can't believe what the letter said.

But Zhang Ren said that the person has already been picked up and is on the way back.

"What happened to the elder brother, the second brother, he..."

When Zhao Yu heard Zhao Feng's words, she knew that the letter must be related to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Feng grabbed the letter and refused to let her read it.

Wang Hao also persuaded her not to be excited. Zhao Yu has been in Changsha County and has no idea what the outside world has become.

"Changing children to eat... The family is unlucky, if you encounter this evil on the battlefield in the future, sister-in-law, you don't have to take care of me and Xiaoyu..."

Zhao Feng walked out of the hall with the letter. Zhao Feng, who was less than 40 years old, looked like an old man in his twilight from the back.

"Brother don't need to do this, I'll write a letter to the second brother, if he can find his way back, he will be... big brother..."

Wang Hao caught up with Zhao Feng and wanted to explain to him, but Zhao Feng left without saying a word, and stayed in the room until night without coming out for dinner.

What was said in the letter was what a mercenary had seen and heard in Huainan.

The Sun family had half of Yangzhou and Huang Zhong confronted each other. Huang Zhong had strong soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass.

The Sun family couldn't help Huang Zhong, and wanted to return to the army to go north, but Lu Bu blocked the coastal route. Yuan Shu's dead camel was bigger than a horse, and he still had [-] remnant soldiers stationed in the Shouchun area, and the road to Lujiang was also impassable.

Xuzhou Lv Bu was not afraid of Jiangdong Sun's family, but because Liu Bei and Cao Cao's army had been watching Chongzhou.

Lu Bu sent Chen Gong as an envoy to Runan, and reached an alliance with Yuan Shu to fight against Cao Sun, and the Sun family's northward route was completely cut off.

After Yuan Shao got Wang Hao's horse, he sent his army north to attack Gongsun Zan. Liu Biao and Zhang Ji led their troops to invade Changsha. Cao Cao had no worries and kept his eyes on Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was already wary of Liu Bei in Pengcheng, and Tan Ma secretly intercepted Cao Cao's letter to Liu Bei, knowing that Liu Bei and Cao Cao jointly planned to plot Xuzhou.

Cao Cao also petitioned the emperor Liu Xie to ask Liu Xie to recognize Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle. When Liu Biao heard that he could become the emperor's uncle, he naturally fell into Cao Cao's camp. ,
After Lu Bu learned the news, he led Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to attack Peicheng. Guan Yu was defeated by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao and was forced to escape into the mountains.

Lu Bu personally faced Zhao Yun and Liu Bei. Liu Bei had only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command, so naturally he lost to Lu Bu's army.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun escaped from Pengcheng with a bodyguard, and a group of more than ten riders fled to Xuchang. The mercenaries were ordered to monitor Lu Bu, and when they saw Liu Bei absconding, they separated two people to follow him.

There have been years of wars in the Jianghuai area, and there are swarms of bandits in Taishan County. In addition, the people have no crops due to the severe drought this year, and even wild animals have been hunted down.

Liu Bei and several others fled through a mountain village. There were only a dozen households in the village. Liu Bei ordered his soldiers to go into the village to borrow food.

There were only a dozen or so buckets of wheat in Zhuangzi, all of which were robbed, which is not too much. What is too much is that Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to kill the women in Zhuangzi and eat them as the meat of tigers and wolves.

When Wang Hao saw this, he couldn't stand it anymore. Only Liu Bei could do such a thing as killing people and eating meat.

However, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei and did not stop Liu Bei. This shows how far Zhao Yun has fallen.

Wang Hao couldn't spare any manpower, so he could only ask Zhang Ren to go to that village to relocate the people. As for how many people survived, Wang Hao didn't know.

Liu Bei treated the female relatives in the village as cattle and sheep, and killed them for meat when he was hungry. One of the village girls whose hands were chopped off was rescued by mercenaries after she escaped. Zhang Ren sent someone to escort her back to Changsha.

Wenpin from Jingzhou led an army of [-], and went straight from Jiangxia to Changsha County to kill him. Before entering Changsha, he met Tai Shici.

Wenpin's [-]-strong army only had [-] cavalry. Taishi Ci's [-] heavy cavalry killed more than half of them in one attack. In addition, [-] infantry came later. Wenpin saw the heavy cavalry for the first time and was unable to parry it. .

Seeing that the vanguard was defeated, Wenpin still wanted to win with numbers, but the might of the heavy cavalry could not be resisted by the infantry at all.

Thirty kilograms of fish scale armor is invulnerable, and infantry's crossbows will do minimal damage to heavy cavalry.

Tai Shici led the heavy cavalry to attack twice, and then defeated Wenpin's army.

Then he ordered five thousand infantry to follow the heavy cavalry with spears and strangle him. Wenpin was wounded by Taishi Ci in front of the formation. He was defeated and fled towards Guoyang.

In this battle, Taishi Ci lost [-] heavy cavalry and more than half of his [-] infantry.
The captured Wenpin Headquarters had 150 horses, more than [-] carts of food, countless spears, bows and arrows, etc.
He also captured [-] Jingzhou troops, which was considered a big victory.

After the defeat of Wenpin, Tai Shici dispatched [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to return to Changsha County with grain, grass and prisoners, and continued to go like Jiang Xia with the soldiers of his headquarters.

Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, was frightened when he heard about Wenpin's defeat. He was a naval general and was good at land warfare.

Huang Zu gathered [-] soldiers to garrison Jiangxia City. No matter what Tai Shici ordered, he refused to fight. He waited for Liu Biao from Jingzhou to send another army to rescue him.

Huang Zu knew that Zhang Ji's army had already moved out, and as long as Wang Hao's ranch was under attack, Tai Shici would definitely retreat to help, and then he could kill Tai Shici by surprise.

Soon after, Zhang Ji raided the ranch at night, and the guardrail near Yiling was demolished. The fence surrounded by several planks and branches could not resist horses stepping on it, and even the three-meter-high thorn tree was burned.

After a hole was opened in the pasture, Zhang Ji's [-] cavalry rushed in frantically.

But what awaited them was not cattle and sheep everywhere, but a group of dark heavy infantry,

In the dark night, Zhang Ji did not see the opponent clearly, but Zhang Ji would not be afraid if three thousand cavalry faced only a few thousand infantry.

Zhang Ji was confident when he charged for the first time, but when the cavalry on the left and right attacked the heavy infantry, Zhang Ji was completely frightened.

More than 2000 people were lost in one charge, but the opponent's heavy infantry didn't seem to suffer much damage. This is absolutely damning.

In fact, it cannot be said that the Mo Dao soldiers were not killed in the battle, but there were only three to two hundred casualties, which cannot be seen among the five thousand Mo Dao soldiers.

Just after Zhang Ji's cavalry was sniped, Xu Huang also appeared with his heavy cavalry. He circled the pasture and besieged Zhang Ji from the outside.

Zhang Ji's infantry had very low combat capabilities at night, and more than half of them were trampled to death by their horses.

Huang Zu saw Tai Shici retreating in the afternoon, thinking that Zhang Ji had succeeded, so Tai Shici had to retreat.

Huang Zu thought that Tai Shici wanted to escape back to Changsha County by night, because it would be dark soon.

However, Huang Zu refused to let Taishi Ci get his wish, and led two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry in Jiangxia City to follow Taishi Ci.

Tai Shici's heavy cavalry was definitely not as fast as Huang Zu's light cavalry, and they were soon overtaken...
