Yu Du and others were not completely unsuspecting. They brought many subordinates with them, and only Yu Du and Bai Rao came. The others stayed at the base camp to be on guard.
Of course, it can also be said that this is a helpless move.
Because except for Bai Rao, everyone else's attitude is more or less loose.
After discussing the future meeting, four of the six people were shaken and felt that they should cooperate with Liu Bei and not be stubborn, as stubbornness would not end well.
Yu Du didn't want those guys with loose attitudes to flirt with Zhang Yan.
But it doesn't matter, because the guy with the most determined attitude is Yu Du, and he is also the most powerful among these people.
When faced with Po, Zhang Yan did not want to confront him head-on. The two of them usually negotiated more and had less confrontation, but this time, the situation changed and an absolute strong man appeared.
So Zhang Yan's attitude towards poison was a little more... compassionate.
"This is the last persuasion, Yu Du. If you change your mind, I can intercede for you in front of the general to protect your life and future. You still have a chance. There is no future for you to continue to stay on this mountain. You Is it true that you can’t see clearly or are you pretending that you can’t see clearly?”
Yu Du just sneered.
"Are you naive or am I naive? We are thieves and he is an official. Can an official and a thief get together? The final result is that after you have been used, you will be killed! I will never trust an official. , no matter who he is.”
Zhang Yan shook her head helplessly, having nothing to say to this inflexible guy.
If there is nothing to say, then there is no need to talk about how to deal with the Baibo Army back then, and how to deal with Yu Du now.
So Zhang Yan threw a cup as a signal, and a large number of sword-wielding soldiers suddenly appeared in the house to surround and kill Yu Du and Bai Rao. A large number of soldiers also rushed out from every corner outside the house, killing all the soldiers brought by Yu Du and Bai Rao.
Until the last moment of his life, Yu Du couldn't believe that Zhang Yan would treat him like this.
"Zhang Yan! How dare you lie to me!!!"
"I'm not lying to you, it's you who is lying to yourself!"
Zhang Yan turned around and stopped looking at Yu Du. Two or three seconds later, Yu Du was stabbed through the body by a soldier sent by Qian Zhao - now, he really had no future.
Of course Bai Rao was also killed, and the followers brought by the two were also surrounded and killed, and no one was spared.
The beheading operations on both sides went well. The battle in which the Qianzhao Division besieged the Poison Division was not as ugly as Guan Yu thought. The Qianniu Army was indeed inferior to the Tianwei Army in terms of combat experience, but in In terms of combat literacy, he is quite good.
To deal with the unprepared and panicked bandits, Qianniu Army's combat prowess can be said to be a complete blow to the opponent.
After Yu Du and Bai Rao died, the remaining four leaders had little will to fight. In addition, they were the party that was attacked by surprise and were unprepared. They were quickly beaten without the ability to fight back.
This time, they were not allowed to surrender.
The Han army resolutely annihilated them all, and all combatants were killed to demonstrate the new order of the Eastern Han Dynasty under Liu Bei's command.
This is a necessary shock to Zhang Yan and Yu Fuluo, and it is meaningful to let them understand something through these shocks.
The military operation that started on the first day of February ended on the second day of February. On the fourth day of February, the final finishing work was completed. Next, is the second plan.
Qian Zhao and Zhang Yan formed a team and led the army towards Yanmen County to further sweep away the local Wuhuan people.
Guan Yu and Yu Fuluo formed a team and crossed Xihe County and marched to Shang County, with the goal of clearing out the local Xianbei people.
The second phase of the Bingzhou Campaign officially started on the fifth day of February in the second year of Jian'an.
The number of Xianbei and Wuhuan people who have been migrating to and occupying Bingzhou for more than a hundred years is not large. According to previous internal estimates of the Luoyang court, their total number is more than 300,000.
In terms of living customs, these Xianbei and Wuhuan people interacted with and blended with the local Han residents, presenting a semi-farming and semi-nomadic scene.
These Xianbei and Wuhuan people would settle down, wear common clothes, and cultivate food, while some Han people would also wear animal skins, drink horse milk, and herd cattle. Both sides influenced each other in a subtle way.
Of course, this subtle influence looks gentle, but in fact it is full of the blend of blood and fire.
The fighting between the Han people and the Hu people on the land of Bingzhou, as well as the fighting between each other's ethnic groups for survival, is not tender at all.
It is not that there are no Han people living in most of the land in Bingzhou, but they have gradually become barbarians and closed with the pace of history, adapting to the laws of survival in this land in their own way.
The powerful Han tycoons strengthened their empire, transformed it into manors, and became nomadic in order to increase their military force.
The clever Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes also successfully settled down, became semi-agrarian, and began to engage in agricultural production to obtain grains. They went out to rob in their spare time to obtain a more stable source of food and get rid of the nomadic lifestyle.
People living on the land also have their own circumstances.
For example, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others were all born in the border areas of Bingzhou when they were young. At that time, the Han Empire still had a little control over the border areas of Bingzhou, but as time went by and as they grew, their I can no longer go back to my hometown.
Of course, it’s not necessarily whether they miss their hometown.
Liu Bei asked Lu Bu if he missed his hometown in Wuyuan County and wanted to go back and visit.
Lu Bu gave him a rather ambiguous answer.
If he could go back, he would definitely be willing to go back and have a look. After all, he grew up there.
But if he can't go back, it's not a big deal. Anyway, the memory left to him in his hometown is the constant fighting, fighting, fighting, killing again and again, his eyes are red from the killing, and all his old friends have been killed. Now that he goes back, he feels nothing but sadness. Still sad.
Such memories made Lu Bu have a bad impression of his hometown.
In addition, after coming to Luoyang, he saw the life that people should live, and realized the way of life that can lead a stable life without licking blood with a knife, which made him not want to go back to the past.
Liu Bei was noncommittal about this.
But he still had the same attitude.
People in Liangzhou can live the same life as people in Luoyang, so people in Bingzhou can also live in Youzhou. No one says that people living on the border must pay something for people living in the interior. This is unfair. of.
Liu Xuande doesn't want to be completely fair, but he will never refuse where he can.
Before the army set off, Liu Bei ordered the imperial court's declaration of dispatching troops to be widely disseminated throughout Bingzhou.
He declared that the purpose of this expedition was to expel the barbarians, restore the Han Dynasty, fully restore the generals who had merged with the state, and take back all the territories opened by the ancestors. Anyone who was willing to contribute to the imperial army could be rewarded. Anyone who fought with Xianbei and Wu If Huan and others are colluding with others, the court will definitely punish them severely.
Xianbei, Wuhuan and other people who do not want to be enemies of the imperial court should stay away from Bingzhou and return to their homeland. If they still occupy the land and refuse to return it, when the imperial army arrives, they will be severely punished and will not be tolerated.
For those who understand history, this announcement is worthy of tears in their eyes, because it proves that a strong man has finally appeared in the country, who is willing to restore the glory of the ancestors, restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and make the Han Dynasty great again.
For example, the scholars in Luoyang City, especially the students in Taixue, all spoke highly of this military operation.
In order to win the full support of public opinion and reverse the tendency of public opinion about internal strife in the Han Empire, Liu Bei personally arrived at Taixue and gave several speeches. He also killed indiscriminately on the battlefield of public opinion - in Luoyang City, he controlled Taixue and Controlled the commanding heights of the battlefield of public opinion.
"We must not lose an inch of the territory our ancestors left us, and we must not let the glory left to us by our ancestors become dusty! Otherwise, how can we face our ancestors a hundred years later?"
"Those who encroach on the territory of the Han Dynasty are our enemies, and those who occupy the land and refuse to return it are all wolves, tigers and leopards! Facing these wolves, tigers and leopards, only steel swords are the language they can understand!"
"The glory of the Han Dynasty has been lost for a long time. Will the glorious martial arts pioneered by our ancestors be lost in our hands? Can we watch the loss of our country's territory and remain indifferent?"
"Bingzhou is a Bingzhou for the people of Bingzhou, a Bingzhou for the Han Dynasty, and a Bingzhou for every Han people! If Bingzhou loses even an inch of its territory, it will be a shame for the entire Han Dynasty, for me, and for everyone present. This kind of This disgrace is something that all Han people should not have to endure!"
"Faced with humiliation, our ancestors chose to rise up and resist. One hundred thousand cavalry swept through Mobei, and today's magnificent Han Dynasty emerged. And now, the Han Dynasty has been passed down to our hands. Shouldn't we inherit our ancestors' ambitions and march north with swords?"
"Fighting among ourselves will only make the big man weaker and sinking. The only way is to move forward and take away everything we lack and don't have. Then everyone can get what they want!"
"Go north! Go south! Go west! Go east! With the sword in our hands and the passion in our hearts, we will move forward all the way and never look back! A man who is determined to die! A big man! There are no boundaries!"
Liu Bei waved his hands and delivered a passionate speech in a mellow tone in the Imperial College. The young scholars were so excited that they screamed and screamed. A group of Imperial scholars even wanted to sign up to join the army on the spot.
They said that just reading can no longer satisfy their desire to serve the country. They must express their desire to serve the country in a more direct physical way, otherwise their boiling blood will burn them out.
Regarding this situation, Zheng Xuan, the new imperial scholar, smiled bitterly and asked Liu Bei with a smile if he wanted to put the recruitment department directly in the imperial college.
