The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"Yuan Xi is dead. If you want to survive, you should kneel down and surrender."

Since Yuan Xi had already died in battle, there was no need for the remaining people to be buried with Yuan Xi. Lu Bu, who was willing to surrender, was still willing to give them a way out.

Although those people were Yuan Xi's personal guards, the era that belonged to Yuan Xi was over when Yuan Xi died, and they themselves didn't want to be buried with them. After hearing Lu Bu's words, they immediately dropped the weapons in their hands, almost The ten people were not surprised, and all chose to kneel and surrender.

After Yuan Xi's personal guards surrendered, there were no people left on the battlefield, and even if there were, they chose to kneel and surrender together, and the next step was to clean up the battlefield.

Naturally, it was not Lu Bu's turn to clean up the battlefield.

He took Xu Huang into the city.

I saw Guan Hai and his party who had just finished fighting at the South City Gate.

The battle at the south city gate is also over at this moment.

However, Guan Hai and the others did not leave the city, but continued to guard the south gate.

It's not because Guan Hai is too lazy to leave the city.It's because he wants to guard the city gate to prevent the enemy troops from outside the city from entering.

Although he saw that the battle outside the city was over, he still didn't know whether these people outside the city were his allies.

It wasn't until Lu Bu, Xu Huang and others arrived that they really saw their brother troops.

Guan Hai's face showed excitement, and his face was relieved.

"Guan Hai, you are guarding here, where is Tai Shici?"

Seeing that Guan Hai didn't see Tai Shici here, Lu Bu was somewhat puzzled, so he immediately asked.

After all, Taishi is the chief general guarding Xindu City, and Ci Guanhai and Zang Ba are only deputy generals.

Now that the battle has been resolved, Guan Hai is gone, after being so nervous and relieved at the beginning.

Answer Lu Bu's words.

"General Lu Bu, General Tai Shici, is fighting against the enemy at the north gate. I was ordered to come to support the south gate."

"Is there also a battle in the north? Presumably the battle is almost over now. Let's support as soon as possible, so as not to be killed by the enemy from the north?"

After hearing what Guan Hai said, Lu Bu didn't intend to rest, and took the rest of the people to the North City Gate in time.

But when his men arrived at the North City Gate, they discovered that the battle at the North City Gate had also ended.

Since Ke Bineng wants to retreat, it is naturally impossible to withdraw only half of the troops. Most of the troops on the north gate are also Ke Bineng's troops. After Ke Bineng's retreat, they all scattered and ran away. .

Only Tai Shici who was still at a loss was left behind.I didn't understand why these enemies who clearly had the upper hand retreated suddenly, and they withdrew so completely that they didn't even wait outside the city, and just fled away.

Tai Shici didn't understand until Lu Bu rushed over from the inner city with his people.

It turned out that our own reinforcements had arrived.

Seeing that it was Lv Bu and Xu Huang leading people to support, Tai Shici's tense expression finally eased a little. After seeing his comrades-in-arms, the mental strength that had been forcibly persevering was finally relieved, and his body was suddenly exhausted. Feelings surged up, almost making Tai Shici unable to hold on.

After all, Tai Shici was still a wounded man.

It is not easy to be able to persist in commanding battles for such a long time.

For several days in a row, he commanded the battle on the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking.

None of them had a good rest, and it can even be said that they had never had a rest.

Once you relax, you will naturally feel it immediately.That exhaustion came up.

Lu Bu noticed the strangeness on Tai Shici's face, and through the fatigue during the rainy season, he understood that Tai Shici should be extremely tired at this moment.

"Brother Ziyi, you go down to rest first, and we will leave the rest to us. The enemy army has been repulsed. Ke Bi Neng led his troops to escape and Yuan Xi has already died in battle. Xindu City should be safe."

Lu Bu doesn't need to command the battle here, after all, the battle is over, and the next thing is just some finishing touches, but they still need to send someone to grasp the direction of Kebi's escape.

So the aftermath is actually quite troublesome. Of course, these things don't need Lu Bu to deal with them, and Xu Huang is still there.

Xu Huang was originally a general in command of the army. With so many years of experience with Liu Zheng, he is more than enough to take charge of this place.

Tai Shici nodded and handed over the power of commanding troops to Xu Huang, and went down to rest by himself.

When the battle on Xindu City was completely over, they passed the news on to Liu Zheng.

Another two days passed.

Liu Zheng also led his troops to Xindu from Yecheng himself.

He didn't come here thinking of continuing to attack.

Instead, it is necessary to appease the soldiers and horses.

At the same time, enough food and grass were sent to Xinducheng.I was trapped in Xindu City before, and there was no new food and grass transported for a long time.

Relying entirely on the food and grass originally stored in Xindu City, there is not much food and grass left now.

Fortunately, now that Liu Zheng has repelled Zhang Fei and others, Jizhou has returned to calm, and his grain road has been reopened. Bringing troops and daily necessities of food and grass to the capital can also stabilize the army's morale. an important thing.

That is, although Yuan Xi is dead, Youzhou has not been recaptured.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and four chaos

Youzhou is also one of the fourteen states of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, it is also an important place for raising horses in the north, and it is an important source of horses for the Han court.

It's still very important, and it's naturally impossible for Liu Zheng to give up.

Isn't this the purpose of the Northern Expedition this time, Liu Zheng's goal?

Now that it is finally possible to take back Youzhou, it is natural that they will not give up this territory easily.

Yuan Xi's death was actually nothing to Liu Zheng. Even Yuan Xi's death did not change Liu Zheng's friendly expression.

If you die, you will die. Maybe Liu Zheng will have some regrets about Yuan Shang's death. At any rate, Yuan Shang still belongs to Liu Zheng's men. Although he is not directly under Liu Zheng, he is his own after all. It is a pity to die.

However, Yuan Xi was different.

Liu Zheng and him are neither relatives nor relatives, and they still have some hatred.

If such a person dies, he will die, which can make Liu Zheng happier.

At least, not a single hassle.

However, Yuan Xi died, and the mess left behind still needs Liu Zheng to take over.

A few days later.

Xinducheng.

After cleaning up in the past few days, the enemies in Jizhou have been almost wiped out.

Peace has been restored near Jizhou, so it's time for Liu Zheng to think about marching into Youzhou.

Originally, it was very simple to march into Youzhou. Liu Zheng had a large army here, so he just let the army pass by.

But now, after the repeated battles in Jizhou, the battle was not very smooth, which caused Liu Zheng to lose a lot of soldiers and horses here.

The [-] troops brought here have been lost by more than half, leaving only [-] soldiers and horses.

These [-] soldiers and horses will still be stationed in Jizhou. If he wants to attack Youzhou, he can only mobilize [-] soldiers and horses at most.

2 people want to conquer Youzhou, although it is a leaderless Youzhou that lost the ruler Yuan Xi, but it is not so easy.

"Everyone, after Yuan Xi's death, Youzhou has become a thing without an owner. Should we send troops now and take the opportunity to seize Youzhou, or wait and see what happens and see how the situation in Youzhou changes before sending troops?"

Although Liu Zheng had an idea in his mind, he was still not sure, and wanted to ask the intentions of these counselors under his command.

After all, Guo Jialusu and others may have a better way.

"Your Majesty, I think it is a very good time to attack Youzhou at this moment. It's just that we have just experienced a series of battles. The soldiers under our command are all wounded. If we use weapons again, I'm afraid they will be too tired."

Guo Jia felt that the attack on Youzhou was indeed good, but it was not possible to attack on a large scale. After all, the troops had not yet had a good rest, and if they were to rush to Youzhou for a long distance, there would inevitably be some bad results.

Lu Su's thoughts at the moment are actually similar to Guo Jia's.

"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Guo Jia's words are right. We cannot give up on Youzhou, but the most urgent task is to rest our soldiers and horses. At the same time, we should make up for the lost troops and bring some troops here from the south."

"You mean, stop attacking for the time being?"

"No, it's not that we don't want to attack. It's just that we are delaying the army's invasion of Youzhou. Instead, we can choose to use other methods to attack Youzhou."

Guo Jia seemed to have some doubts when he saw Liu Zheng, but he quickly answered Liu Zheng.

"any solution?"

"After Yuan Xi's death, Youzhou will definitely be in turmoil. Even if there is no chaos, Your Majesty can first let these brocade guards lurking in Youzhou fuel the flames and make Youzhou chaotic."

"When Youzhou is divided into several parts, His Majesty will take action again, fight one by one, support the forces that obey us, and annihilate the forces that we do not deal with. In this way, Youzhou will be won."

Guo Jia's strategy can take Youzhou directly without spending a single soldier, but it will take some time.

According to Liu Zheng's idea, it is natural to send soldiers and horses there directly, but he is not so short of time.

He simply agreed to Guo Jia's opinion.

After all, try Guo Jia's strategy first. If it doesn't work, he can send an army to push it directly.

Taking advantage of this period of time, he still had the opportunity to call up troops and dispatch his troops from the south to Jizhou.

After making a decision, Liu Zheng settled down for the time being.

mid-August.

Youzhou.

The [-] remnants led by Ke Bineng fled back to Youzhou from Xindu City, Jizhou.

If he wanted to return to his own Xianbei, he would naturally pass through Youzhou.

Originally, these territories in Youzhou belonged to Yuan Xi and belonged to the friendly army. Ke Bineng was able to suppress his subordinates so that they would not wantonly rob and loot in Youzhou.

But now, it's different.

Ke Bineng no longer believed in Yuan Xi. He had already made up his mind to withdraw his Xianbei, but before going back, he still had something to do, which was to break through these cities in Youzhou and kill all the men in the city. Killed, women and children were taken back to Xianbei as slaves.

And the food in Youzhou was taken away.

This is Kebi's original idea of ​​being a big man once, but he was fooled by Yuan Xi at the beginning, thinking that he could get more by attacking Yuan Shang.

Unexpectedly, in exchange for tens of thousands of his own army, almost all of them were killed, and only [-] remnants returned.

Guangyang County.

This is the location of the center of Youzhou, where the government of Youzhou is located.

Of course, it is also the most prosperous place in Youzhou.

However, because it was relatively close to Jizhou, Yuan Xi later moved the county seat of Youzhou to the Liaodong area, where it was closer to the people of Karasuma and could unite with Karasuma.

However, Guangyang County is still the front line of Yuan Xi's troops, and almost all of his army is recruited here.

Even the main place to transport and raise food in the later period was here, and Yuan Xi's last bit of wealth was preserved in Guangyang County.

As long as Jixian County is conquered, those people in Kebineng will indeed be able to get a lot of food and grass.

At least, Kebi can snatch them, and their food and grass for a winter is not a problem.

He brought his troops back to Ji County, which was still under the protection of Yuan Xi's troops. Although the prefect guarding Ji County had only [-] soldiers, they still had some strength.

But after Ke Bineng came here, he didn't say that he had broken with Yuan Xi. Instead, he learned the tricks of the Han people, opened the city gate by fraud, and walked in with his own army.

As soon as he entered, Ke Bineng changed his face and ordered his army to start killing.

Twenty thousand cavalry surrounded Ji County in an instant, and then began to massacre the city.

The massacre lasted for a whole day and night.

With a population of 10,000+ in Ji County, all men were killed.

Chapter 170 and five of Youzhou Rebellion

Ke Bi Neng took the slave women he had snatched from Ji County, as well as money and food, and ran back to his tribe in the direction of Yuyang County.

It took a few days for the news of Ji County to be massacred before it gradually spread.

At the same time, there was news that Yuan Xi and Ke Bineng were defeated and Yuan Xi died in battle.

Behind this, there are Jinyiwei who are fueling the flames, and suddenly Youzhou is in chaos.

Before, Yuan Xi suppressed Youzhou. Although Youzhou was also undercurrents, it was still relatively stable. At least there was an obvious boss guarding it.
