Three Kingdoms Eschatology

For Feng Yu, he is not interested in Yuan Shu's territory.He only needs population.Even Runan, which is close to Zhuyang, is separated from Nanyang Yin, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.Apart from the population, Huainan has no special resources, and it is not a strategic location for Zhuyang Liangzhou.

For Sun Ce, although Huainan can be used as a northern barrier and a buffer zone.But the premise is that there must be a large number of troops and manpower to guard each city.

Among the three, Liu Bei needs territory the most.But a territory without a population is useless to him.Therefore, the question of how to divide up the results of the battle is actually a question of how to divide up troops and population.

Chapter 164 The Northland Spear King

Feng Yu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei roughly determined the division of the Huainan area after the war while they were pushing cups and changing cups.

Runan County and the west of Hefei in Jiujiang County belong to Feng Yu.Lujiang County and the south of Hefei in Jiujiang County belonged to Sun Ce.The northeast area of ​​Jiujiang County, including Shouchun, belonged to Liu Bei.As for the soldiers and family members of Yuan Jun who surrendered, they were divided equally among the three families.

Feng Yu didn't know how the two of them would deal with the divided area.Anyway, he will move the population of Runan and Jiujiang counties to Nanyang and his Liangzhou.There is still a large area of ​​vacant wasteland waiting to be cultivated.

Feng Yu suddenly found that there was no figure of Guan Yu among the generals around Liu Bei. He felt strange and asked Liu Bei, "Why didn't General Yun Chang come to celebrate today?"

Liu Bei replied with a solemn expression: "We have done everything we can to get rid of the evil, and I have asked my second brother to take two thousand elite horsemen to intercept and kill the traitor Yuan Shu. We must not let him escape to Hebei and join Yuan Shao."

Feng Yu immediately understood why Liu Bei pursued Yuan Shu so fiercely.If Liu Bei can kill Yuan Shu, it will greatly increase his prestige among the heroes of the world.At the same time, he will also be recorded a great contribution by Han Ting, which will be very beneficial to his future development.

At this time, one of Sun Ce's soldiers came into the hall and whispered something to Sun Ce.Sun Ce cupped hands with Feng Yu and Liu Bei and said:

"You two, there was a riot in Jiangdong, and Yan Baihu of Wu County was unwilling to be lonely. When my army was fighting Yuan Shu in Huainan, he invaded Danyang again. I need to quickly mobilize the army and return to Jiangdong to fight the rebellion, so I will bid farewell to you two first." .”

Soon after Sun Ce left, Feng Yu ordered his soldiers to enter the palace.Presented a letter to Feng Yu and said: "There is an urgent letter from Zhuyang."

Feng Yu opened the letter and finished it in a hurry, only then did he know that the battle situation in Hedong and Guanzhong had changed.So he also bid farewell to Liu Bei: "Yuan Shao colluded with the Xiongnu and the remaining thieves from Xiliang to invade our Guanzhong, so I can only go back to Zhuyang to dispatch troops to suppress the thieves. Here I entrust Brother Xuande to take care of you."

Liu Bei got up quickly and sent Feng Yu out of the hall.

That night, Feng Yu summoned all the generals.Assign tasks one by one.He left behind Zhao Yun's army and reclamation soldiers, and ordered Zhao Yun to handle all matters within the scope of his side's surrender, including relocation of population, and recruitment of surrendered troops.

He also summoned the generals who had come to Jingyi to hand over the soldiers of the three states, and asked them to lead the troops back to the original places of the states.

At dawn on the second day, he led his personal guards to ride eastward on horseback.

……

Outside Chang'an City, a team of Zhang Xiu Qingqi with more than [-] riders was walking around the city.The two leaders are chatting nonsense with each other.

"Hey, I'm talking about the team rate. With just a few thousand of us, is it possible to take down Chang'an? We've all been here for ten days."

"You don't need to worry about it. The general has his intentions to besiege Chang'an. We won't be able to defeat him, but a large number of reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Actually, what I care about is not whether we can conquer Chang'an. What I care about is when we brothers will have enough to eat and when we will have meat to eat."

As soon as they said this, a large number of war horses rushed towards them in the distance.Before they had time to see each other's faces clearly, a large number of arrows roared towards them.

"Enemy..." The leader of the team shouted only one word.The hard leather armor on his body was naturally also pierced, and an arrow pierced through his chest.

By the time these Zhang Xiujun war cavalry reacted, the opponent had already charged ten battles away, and the gleaming horse-chopping knife was already in his hand.There were hundreds of horses on the other side, how could Zhang Xiu's war horses dare to fight, he would flee if he rode his horses harder.But the opponent's horse was extremely fast, rushed forward, and solved them all one by one.

This was a forward team of Huaxiong's Qingqi Feiyu Battalion, and immediately after that, a large number of war cavalry appeared on the horizon.There are both light cavalry flying feathers and heavy cavalry.They also rode their horses and galloped over, Hua Xiong also put on his clothes and stood among them.

All the riders gathered into one group and began galloping around Chang'an City, sweeping away the light cavalry of Zhang Xiujun who were patrolling around Chang'an City.

Half an hour later, Hua Xiong, who had attacked several Zhangxiu cavalry in succession, was stopped by a large group of enemy cavalry.It turned out that after Zhang Xiu heard about Hua Xiong's attack, he personally assembled all the cavalry to intercept Hua Xiong.

The two men rode their horses and stood facing each other in the wilderness five miles southwest of Chang'an City.

Zhang Ji can be regarded as Zhang Xiu's obedient father.Therefore, it can be said that Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu have an unshakable vendetta against killing their father.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.When Zhang Xiu heard that it was Hua Xiong who led the troops, he forgot the high officials' entrustment to him.The entrustment was - if you encounter the main force of Feng Yu's army, you should avoid it and not fight, and wait for the reinforcements from Hedong to come.

At this time, both of them rode out in unison, yelling at each other at a distance of more than 50 battles.

"Zhang Xiu, you are known as the spear king of the North, and in the eyes of a certain person, it is no different from selling Seoul. Dismount quickly and accept the surrender, or I will kill you today!"

"Yonggou Huaxiong, next year today will be the day of your death. Today I want you to pay me back my father's order. How dare you fight me!"

Hua Xiong sneered and said, "My iron cavalry from Liangzhou is much more powerful than your low-powered soldiers, so why should I challenge you one-on-one?"

Seeing what Hua Xiong said, Zhang Xiu stopped talking, and each urged the cavalry to start a hedge.Both of them took the lead and galloped with the team.

Zhang Xiu himself was dazzled by the emotion of revenge, but his subordinates could see the opponent's cavalry clearly. It was a real cavalry with iron armor on both men and horses, and the mount was an extremely tall giant horse. Visually, there is a sense of deterrence and oppression.

They were already terrified in their hearts, but under Zhang Xiu's order, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and ride their horses forward.But they don't know that the biggest threat to them is the opponent's Qingqi.

The Qingqi flying feathers of the first battalion have been divided into two groups. Using their own high speed, they swoop towards the left and right wings of the enemy's cavalry before their own heavy cavalry.The arrows shot at Zhang Xiu's war cavalry precisely and densely.The latter riders were hit by arrows one after another, and even Zhang Xiu was hit by an arrow on the shoulder. Xin was covered by his shoulder armor and did not cause actual damage.

After Qingqi Feiyu passed by both sides of Zhang Xiu's cavalry, the heavy cavalry behind rushed up.The shining horses lined up in front of the heads of the horses.Zhang Xiu's cavalry also raised their lances.

Immediately there was a series of "poof, bang, clang, puff" sounds.There is the sound of horses piercing flesh and blood, the sound of gun blades and iron armor, the sound of human bodies falling to the ground, and the sound of horseshoes trampling flesh and blood.

The cavalrymen in the first-line confrontation between the two sides had their own casualties. Generally speaking, Zhang Xiu's cavalry had many more casualties than the opponent's.The first cavalry to engage lost their horses or lances.Feng Yujun's heavy cavalry swung his mace, while Zhang Xiu's cavalry drew his saber.

The mace can swing the cavalry spear, but the saber is obviously at a disadvantage against the horse.Therefore, the Zhangxiu riders who escaped the attack of the first row of heavy cavalry could hardly escape the attack of the heavy cavalry behind them, and were stabbed and killed by the horses in pieces.

Chapter 165 Unmoved

Zhang Xiu deserved the title of "Northern Spear King". Facing enemy cavalry with superior equipment, he was still able to stab and kill two heavy cavalry in a row.

His first shot pierced through the iron armor of a heavy cavalry, directly piercing the opponent's chest, and he was able to quickly and successfully retract the lance.

But this shot also blunted the tip of the spear, so that when he confronted No. 2 on the wrong horse, the tip of the spear could no longer pierce the opponent's iron armor.He simply put the gun head against the opponent's body and pushed him off the horse.The latter was trampled to death.

Zhang Xiu rode his horse furiously and charged wildly, as if gods blocked and killed gods, and Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas.The No.3 enemy cavalry running towards him was Hua Xiong himself.

The two confronted each other at high speed, and with the sound of two clanging metals colliding violently, the two sides passed by in an instant.A stream of blood gurgled from Zhang Xiu's shoulder blade and flowed down the armor.Under the severe pain, the pistol in his hand fell off the horse.And Hua Xiong was also shot in the right rib, but it didn't penetrate Hua Xiong's black iron armor piece, it just made Hua Xiong feel a surge of energy and blood, and his ribs hurt.

The heavy cavalry who followed Hua Xiong a few battles away saw that Zhang Xiu was injured and took off his gun, so he straightened his horse and charged at Zhang Xiu.At this time Zhang Xiu had lost his ability to fight, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

At the critical moment, there was only a loud shout: "Don't hurt my lord!" A lieutenant general in Zhang Xiu's army, before the opponent approached Zhang Xiu, put his horse in front of Zhang Xiu, and desperately swung the opponent's horse with his spear .This person is Hu Che'er, Zhang Xiu's general.

Not long after, the cavalry teams of the two armies had completely passed by the wrong horse.Zhang Xiujun suffered heavy losses, nearly half of the two thousand war cavalry were lost, and he himself was seriously injured.How dare they turn around and continue to confront Hua Xiong's heavy cavalry.

Hua Xiong's heavy cavalry was slower than Zhang Xiu's cavalry, so naturally they couldn't catch up.But the previous battalion of Qingqi Feiyu had already turned around and chased Zhang Xiu Zhanqi again.Their speed is much faster than the other side.

Soon, arrows shot again, covering Zhang Xiu's cavalry.Some people were shot and fell off their horses, and some horses were frightened and ran wildly, or they fell to the ground and died, throwing their riders off their horses.

Qingqi Feiyu chased Zhang Xiu Zhanqi for more than ten miles, and was called back by the soldiers with loud arrows.At this time, only a few hundred warriors remained around Zhang Xiu.

In Chang'an City, Wei Feng and Liao Hua had received the news, leading troops out of the city to meet Hua Xiong.At the same time, the Huaxiong Army's infantry battalion and supply battalion had also arrived.All the tribes gathered together and attacked Zhang Xiu'an's camp in the north of Chang'an City.

At this time, there were only more than 700 infantry in the camp, and they were all Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin's county soldiers who were coerced by Zhang Xiu a while ago.When they learned that Zhang Xiu had fled eastward with his horse, they dared not take up camp to resist Feng Yu's army, so they immediately raised a white flag to surrender to Hua Xiong.

Chang'an made a rescue, but Hua Xiong knew it in his heart.After the Xiongnu soldiers and Yuan Shaojun in Hedong collected enough ferry boats, they would soon cross the Yellow River westward and attack Chang'an.He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately began to deploy troops for defensive preparations.

In addition to ensuring the safety of Chang'an, it is also necessary to ensure the safety of Tongguan's rear wing.If Tongguan is lost, Xu Rong's army, which is operating in Luoyang, will be in danger.

……

Luoyang, four hundred miles east of Tongguan.Now there are camps all over the place, and the Luoshui River is full of small Viking ships that can carry more than [-] people and are suitable for sailing in all waters.

Except for Xu Rong's army who had arrived here before.Almost all the Viking soldiers in Zhuyang gathered here, including the Viking soldiers who went to Jiangdong to participate in the war more than two months ago.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Rong, Jia Xu, Xu Huang and several generals were discussing the battle situation.

At this time, Xu Huang asked, "Mr. Wenhe, all the brigades that should come are here now. Some two thousand elite soldiers are already stationed in Chenggao. Is it time for your army to send troops to Hanoi and Hebei as planned?"

Xu Rong raised his eyes and responded, "If we go according to the original plan, we could start action a few days ago. But now the situation in Guanzhong and Hedong is a bit unexpected. According to the news from Chang'an, the Huns and the Xiliang remaining thief Zhang Xiu and The bandits colluded with each other. In addition to expelling Huaxiong's army from Hedong, they also intended to further attack Guanzhong.

Some are worried that when we go deep into the hinterland of Jizhou, Tongguan behind us will fall, and then the enemy will be able to advance east from Tongguan and cut off our Luoshui supply line.So a certain plan waits for the situation in Guanzhong to calm down before proceeding according to the plan.I don't know what Mr. Wen He wants? "

After he finished speaking, Xu Huang and the rest of Feng Yu's army turned their attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu bowed his head in silence for a moment, then raised his head and said decisively: "No, soldiers are precious and fast, we will act according to the plan now. Otherwise, we will always be passive and let the enemy take the initiative. As for Guanzhong and Tongguan..."

He paused for a few more breaths, and continued to speak: "As for the safety of Tongguan in Guanzhong, I believe my lord will make a decision. Chang'an will definitely be safe and Tongguan will not be lost. In addition, our department can send an infantry battalion to support Tongguan. But in this way, General Xu Huang's defense in Chenggao can only be assisted by our infantry battalion."

Xu Huang said carelessly: "It's okay, even without the assistance of your army, a certain two thousand elite can keep Chenggao safe."

Xu Rong was a steady man, but he obviously obeyed Jia Xu's opinion. Seeing what Jia Xu said, he made a decision: "In that case, we will follow the plan and send troops to Hebei tomorrow!"

On the second day, more than 200 Viking ships went down the Luo River.Dots of boats densely covered the surface of Luoshui, and their open-air cabins were fully loaded with more than [-] warriors.Soon, they went out of the mouth of Luoshui River and entered the Yellow River.Floating down the river...

Fifty miles to the north of Yanjin Ferry, on a dusty dirt road, thousands of vehicles are driving on this road.The team couldn't see the end at a glance, there were a large number of infantry guards on both sides, and the carts were fully loaded with grain, arrows and other war supplies.They were Yuan Jun's supply team transporting grain and grass from Yecheng to Guandu, and the general was Chun Yuqiong.

At this moment, Chunyu Qiong thought that he was in the rear, and he was not vigilant at all, and he never thought that he would encounter the enemy.Even the routine forward scouts were not released.Therefore, when the opponent's scouts discovered this huge supply team, he didn't notice the enemy at all.

When the sound of galloping war horses came, he thought it was a mobilized cavalry from his side passing nearby.

It wasn't until he saw the other party's flag clearly that the soldiers who had gone to inquire on his side returned in blood, did he turn pale with shock.He shouted in panic, telling the soldiers escorting the luggage to prepare for battle against the enemy.However, it was too late, the opponent's cavalry had already roared over.

It was the moment when the sun was setting to the west, and the horse armor on the enemy's tall war horse reflected a dazzling halo, giving Chunyu Qiong and other Yuan Jun soldiers the illusion of descending from heaven.

Chapter 166

As the sun sets, the wilderness in southern Hebei, north of Yanjin, is blood red under the afterglow of the setting sun.Broken corpses can be seen everywhere.

In just half an hour, Xu Rong's army defeated more than [-] Yuan Jun's infantry without any surprise.Driving the cart, the civilian husband who pulled the cart has long since disappeared without a trace.

When the battle started, Chunyu Qiong's thousand cavalry rushed forward first, trying to buy time for the infantry to form a formation.But they are far inferior to each other in terms of quantity and quality, and they are no match for the opponent's heavy cavalry.In just one confrontation, almost all of them were killed by the opponent's horses and random arrows.

The cavalry was wiped out, and the remaining [-] yuan infantry were slaughtered in front of Xu Rong's cavalry.He was defeated in a short while, either running for his life in a panic, or dying under the iron hoof.Chunyuqiong fled the battlefield alone with a few personal guards.

A Feng Yujun rode forward on his horse and came to a cart full of sacks.With the horse spear in his hand, he poked and stroked the sack on the cart, and the grain and grass in the sack immediately rolled out...

The rest of the soldiers also acted in the same way. The sacks on thousands of carts had been cut open by the soldiers, and the food and grass inside rolled out.The soldiers got off their horses and filled their ration bags, while the horses greedily chewed on the feed.

It was getting dark quickly, and the fire was burning with it.The flames lit up the sky.Most of the materials could not be taken away, and Xu Rong ordered them to be burned.Then, Xu Rong's iron cavalry all got on their horses, galloped away with the captured horses, and disappeared into the vast night.

Jiulitun is a Yuan Jun army station. In the past, there were [-] reclamation soldiers and more than [-] family members. Now, because of Yuan Shao's southern campaign against Cao Cao.Half of the two thousand soldiers were recruited and sent to the front.Because it is located nine miles south of Yecheng, it is named after Jiuli.

At dawn, the roosters in Tunli began to crow one after another.But what was abnormal was that the native dogs in the village also barked immediately.People who wake up early can already vaguely hear the sound of galloping horses in the distance.

In an instant, the sound of thumping drums sounded rapidly.Immediately, a crowd gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village in Tunzhong, and the voices were buzzing.People held a mess of weapons in their hands, and some of them wore belly armor with leather and wood splinters.

Before the leader of the army station standing on the earthen platform could speak, Baishi Zhanqi rode his horse to the entrance of the village.At this time, it was already dawn, and a ray of light had just appeared in the sky.These warriors project tall silhouettes one by one, like prehistoric behemoths.

The head of the military station stammered, "You... who are you? What are you doing here?"

The leaders of the heavy cavalry said in a cold voice: "We are the Han Liangzhou Army. Let you put down your weapons and surrender quickly. Everyone gather outside the village!"

The leader immediately responded: "Okay, wait a moment, a certain order will go on. Let them all come out of the village."

"Give you a moment"

"Okay, right away, right away." The leader replied happily.

But before the time came, dense arrows shot out from behind the fences on both sides of the village entrance.

It turned out that after the leader of the army station agreed, he quietly ordered to gather the archers and crossbowmen to deal with these dozens of warriors with strong bows and crossbows.

The calculation in his heart is that although the opponents are all elite cavalry, his men are all infantry.But after all, my side has an absolute numerical advantage. If I can concentrate the crossbowmen to attack and shoot, I might be able to succeed in one blow.

Even in case of failure, let the opponent still have dozens of horses left, then he has five hundred soldiers, and thousands of men, women, old and children, relying on the village, the opponent can do nothing for him.

Sure enough, these heavy horses were caught off guard and were shot at their bodies and mounts by dense arrows.It's just that with the sound of tinkling metal impacts, the arrows didn't penetrate the armor.

At this time, the sky was a little brighter.Only then did the leader of the army station see clearly that these cavaliers are iron men and iron horses with full armor!My heart is already terrified.The team leader of the heavy cavalry pointed the horse in his hand to the air, and ordered decisively: "The whole team charges! Those who resist, kill without mercy!"

Hundreds of tall and giant horses gradually accelerated and rushed towards the entrance of the village.The cold light of the horse's spear was pressed against the horse's head.

A brave Yuan Bing thought of a way to defeat the enemy. He took a machete for chopping wood and chopped at the galloping horse's leg.

He swung the machete halfway, his head buzzed, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground on his back.A horse spear pierced his skull in an instant.Then an iron hoof the size of a sea bowl ran across his body, blood splashing everywhere...

Yuan Bing, who was at the front of the village entrance, had no time to dodge, and was penetrated by Ma Qiang.Because of the dense crowd, some horse spears even passed through the bodies of two or three people. The knight holding the spear just dropped his gun, then took off his mace and waved it around.A large section of the fence on both sides of the village entrance was knocked down, and heavy horses rushed in.

Under the impact of the iron horse and the swing of the big stick, a large number of Yuan soldiers were killed to the ground.In the chaos, Yuan Bing's leader ran to the depths of the village, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Come into the village quickly, enter the village."

At this time, the open space at the entrance of the village was full of dead bodies.The surviving Yuan Bing hid in the houses of the village.The heavy cavalry team waved their hands and spit out a word: "Burn!".The hundred riders immediately lit the torch following the sound, and rode their horses into the village.

Immediately afterwards, one thatched house after another was set on fire.Thick smoke billowed from the village.

The three heavy riders who had just cast the torch were walking through a narrow alley in the village.

Suddenly several spears stabbed from the wooden fence on one side of the courtyard wall.The spear blade pierced the iron armor of the horse, and the painful horse gave a long cry and raised its hooves.The armored knight on the horse immediately jumped off the horse, holding a mace and killed the courtyard on foot.

There are six or seven Yuan Bing and his family members dressed as civilians in the courtyard.Holding all kinds of weapons and equipment, he surrounded the three knights with horror on his face.There was a sound of bones cracking and flesh shattering, the sound of tooth-piercing metal scraping, and the sound of screams and wailing.This battle is over.

The three armored knights were covered in scratches from weapons.One was pierced through the iron armor on the thigh by a spear gun, piercing the flesh, and blood gushed out.But those six or seven people all died of shattered heads or shattered internal organs.

Half an hour later, the entire Jiulitun was engulfed by raging fire.However, most of the people in the village escaped from the fire and fled to the wilderness outside, and the heavy cavalry did not chase after them.

There are instructions in the order given to them above --- the focus of the mission is to destroy the enemy's grain, grass and supplies.Try not to kill if you can.

Feng Yu's calculation is that if the population in Yuan Shao's land is short of food, they will naturally flow to other princes' lands.So there is no need to specifically weaken Yuan Shao's population.

Almost at the same time, within a hundred miles south of Yecheng, more than a dozen Yuan Jun Juntuns suffered the same fate as Jiulitun.
