But after Zhuge Liang led his army withdrew to Qingzhou, Jizhou was in dire straits.
Originally, due to the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hu people around the Eastern Han Dynasty had been constantly rebelling against Hehe, and Hehe rebelled. Previously, when the White Horse General Gongsun Zan and the German leader Yuan Shao were still there, the barbarians in the north did not dare to cause too much trouble.
Now?
Yuan Shao also died.
Big guy?
The Han Dynasty is dead in name only.
The world?
The world has long been in chaos.
Also...it's time to do the opposite!
The leaders of the four major Hu people were obviously affiliated with the Eastern Han Dynasty. Not only were Cao Cao, Chen Feng and other princes coveted the Central Plains, they, the Hu people, had also long been secretly obsessed with this piece of fat land in the Central Plains.
After waiting for so long, San Yuan and Yi Gao finally gave them this opportunity. After the four Hu leaders led their troops into Jizhou unimpeded, they reached a tacit agreement and joined the battle in the Central Plains as Hu people. In the midst of strife.
More than 70,000 Hu cavalry began to burn, kill and plunder all over Jizhou. It started in Jizhou, then spread to Youzhou, Bingzhou, and finally even Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Chen Feng's Qingzhou. The situation was out of control.
Three yuan and one high? They have been deceived a long time ago. They have lured the tiger into the house and cannot protect themselves...
Jizhou
Julu County
Yuan Shang's army was dispersed by the Hu cavalry, and his Liu Bei army was defeated in Julu Guangping.
At this time, Julu County was being invaded by Wuhuan Huqi from Shanyulou Ban in western Liaoning, and the people of Julu began to flee south.
Among them, the people of Guangping, Julu, suddenly seemed to have a backbone after seeing Liu Bei's Han army and horses. The people of Guangping who originally fled for their lives chose to carefully follow Liu Bei's army a few hundred meters behind. I hope Liu Bei can protect them.
Liu Bei could have led his army to retreat south to Wei County to rendezvous with the larger army, but because he could not bear to see the people of Guangping being killed by the barbarians, he transferred his army and led his remaining 5,000 Han troops to protect the people who fled south. Resist the Wuhuan Huqi of Shanyu Louban in western Liaoning and protect the people from evacuating.
In this regard, Jian Yong, Liu Bei's adviser, advised Liu Bei: "My lord, our army currently only has more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. They are no match for the Nahu people. Bringing the people with them will be a drag. It is better to let them escape on their own."
Liu Bei said: "Now that the barbarians have entered the pass, the people in the north are fleeing for their lives. The reason why they follow us is because they recognize the clothes and armor we are wearing and have hope in their hearts.
The important things of Fuji must be people-oriented. Now that people have returned to me, how can I bear to abandon them! "
Liu Bei couldn't bear to abandon the people and escape alone, so he transformed into a ray of light in the hearts of more than 100,000 people in Guangping, escorting them to escape south...
at the same time
Yanzhou
Let's say that the 20,000 Jie Hu cavalry introduced by the high-ranking officials helped three Yuan and Yi Gao defeat Chen Feng's northern army. Like the other three Hu troops, they began to wreak havoc in the Central Plains and do whatever they wanted.
Shi Shan, the leader of the Jie tribe, wanted to invade Yanzhou, but he knew that it would be difficult for him to capture Yanzhou on his own, so he sent a message to the Qiang tribe leaders Hung He and Di tribe leaders in Bingzhou, asking them to send troops together to carve up Yanzhou together.
After receiving the letter, Qiang leader Hung He and Di leader Qiang Duan decisively expressed their agreement. In this way, the three Hu leaders of Bingzhou Jie, Qiang, and Di formed a Sanhu coalition and launched an invasion of Yanzhou.
After Cao Cao of Yanzhou learned that the Sanhu coalition was coming to attack his Yanzhou, his headache immediately relapsed: Damn, there is no end to it. First it was Yuan Shao, then Ma Teng and Han Sui, and now it is the Sanhu coalition again. I can't give in. Let people live?
Facing the huge Sanhu coalition forces, Cao Cao's soldiers, who had experienced several major defeats and had not had enough to eat for a day, had long lost their fighting spirit. Many of Cao Cao's soldiers turned into deserters and left, and in the end only the earliest ones who followed Cao Cao were left. some generals and less than 4,000 soldiers.
Xuchang
Inside the city
Cao Cao gathered his remaining soldiers, who numbered less than 4,000 and whose morale was at rock bottom.
Cao Cao's more than ten generals, including Xu Chu, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Li Dian, all remained silent and bowed their heads.
Compared with the low morale of Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao laughed loudly.
The generals were puzzled: "Why is the Prime Minister laughing?"
Cao Cao stopped laughing and slowly spoke to the soldiers: "I am Cao Cao! I was born in an indecent family. I was first promoted to be filial and honest. Later, I was promoted to captain and then moved to the military school. I wanted to make meritorious service to the country against thieves. My biggest wish at that time was to be able to When he was a general who conquered the west, the tombstone after his death was engraved with the words "Tomb of Cao Hou, the former general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west", that's all.
Now that the country is in trouble due to Dong Zhuo, I have no choice but to raise righteous soldiers to support the Han Dynasty and attack the rebels.
Later, he led the herdsmen of Yanzhou, defeated and surrendered 300,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turbans, and welcomed the emperor. He was promoted to the prime minister, and his status as a minister was extremely high. This far exceeded my wishes at that time.
Looking back at the Prime Minister, Yuan Shu was destroyed, Zhang Xiu was defeated, Yuan Shao was resisted, Ma Teng was defeated, Han Sui was defeated, and he was defeated again and again, and defeated again and again..."
Next, Cao Cao made a heartfelt speech to his soldiers. The content was probably that Cao Cao recalled what he had done in his life. The sun and the moon flew by, and he went from being high-spirited back then to being gray-haired now.
Cao Cao had been holding on for so long, but finally couldn't hold on anymore. Now that Sanhu was causing trouble in Yanzhou, Cao Cao knew that he had no way to save himself, so he planned to take the emperor and the remaining soldiers to join Xuzhou Mu Chen Feng. Cao Cao, who was suffocated by reality, decided to throw himself into Chen Feng's warm embrace.
On that day, Cao Cao took the remaining 4,000 soldiers of Cao's army to escort the emperor Liu Xie from Xuchang and marched eastward to Xuzhou.
But at this time, the Sanhu coalition forces had already entered Yanzhou. Cao Cao's army, which was carrying many royal utensils and female dependents, was quickly overtaken by several vanguard units of the Sanhu coalition forces.
As soon as the two sides met, they started fighting without saying anything. Facing the charge of the Hu cavalry, Cao Cao's army was instantly rushed away, and the emperor Liu Xie and Cao Cao were separated.
Because the emperor's chariot that Liu Xie was sitting on was more conspicuous among Cao's army, most of the Hu cavalry went in the direction of Liu Xie.
In the chaos, the driver of the emperor's carriage was shot dead by Hu Qi. The two horses in front of the emperor were frightened and instantly galloped towards the deserted fields beside the road.
The emperor's horse was suddenly carried into the wasteland by the horses, and he fell on his side on the wasteland. The two frightened horses broke free from the restraints of the ropes and ran away from the battlefield without looking back, leaving only the horses rolled on their sides in the wasteland. The emperor drives.
While stumbling, Liu Xie and Queen Fu Shou climbed out of the imperial carriage with support. When they opened their eyes, they saw that their imperial carriage was surrounded by more than a dozen barbarian cavalry.
Liu Xie said calmly and confidently: "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If you attack me, it means declaring war on the Han Dynasty!"
The Hu cavalry laughed when they heard the sound, and one of the Hu cavalry leaders said: "Declaration of war? Wasn't it declared long ago?
Yo~ Is this a queen or a concubine? He looks pretty cool... Brothers, do you have any ideas? "
"have!!!"
The Hu leader and the Hu cavalry were ready to attack Liu Xie and Fu Shou.
"Zheng~"
At this moment, a sound of breaking wind came out of thin air, and then a sharp sword was thrust heavily into the ground between Liu Xie and the Hu leader.
Everyone looked at it and saw that the sword was two feet and one inch long. The blade was made of black iron and was very thin. Under the sunlight, it glowed with a faint silver light.
