Luo Xiao is riding on Mo Qilin. This horse king, who has never been afraid of Luo Xiao as he rushes left and right in the battle formation, seems to be unable to move forward.

In the valley, there are mountains of corpses piled up one after another. From the mountains of corpses, rivers of blood and mud composed of blood, brains and flesh flow down.

In the oldest era, the most terrifying scene of the underworld was nothing more than this. Hell on earth is nothing like this.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army were trembling slightly as they looked at the scene in front of them. Fear was mixed with excitement, and there was a hint of sweetness in the blood, which made people resist but couldn't help but get closer.

Human beings are really terrible animals. They yearn for peace and stability, but when facing death, they are passionate from the bottom of their hearts.

Tap tap tap.

Luo Xiao rode Mo Qilin past and looked at the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood he had created with his own hands. He felt a little enlightened for a moment and muttered silently, "Humanity is insignificant, while the path of immortality is vast. The path of ghosts is joyful, and it is the door to life."

Over and over again, General Luo Xiao looked at him a few more times, then waved and turned away.

If these subjects of the Han Dynasty died, he, the traitor of the Han Dynasty, would also die. Who could not die?

The raging flames began to burn in the valley. The flames burned on countless corpses. The blood was like grease, burning blazingly and never stopping. Black smoke rose up from the valley, mixed with countless corpses. The smell of barbecued human flesh.

There is no one here.

Xingyang.

From the moment Luo Xiao stepped into the realm of Xingyang, countless Taiping Taoists were kneeling on the ground, with completely uncontrollable fanaticism in their eyes.

Heavenly Taoist Master!

The tone of the hymn is eternal, but the words in it are interchangeable. "The spirit of King Su is in the sky, and the glory of the Taoist Master will last forever!"

Along the way, Luo Xiao saw ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million people kneeling on the ground like a tide.

Now that Luo Xiao says that he is the incarnation of Emperor Tian coming to the world, these people will believe it.

Especially the soldiers who followed Luo Xiao on the expedition saw with their own eyes Luo Xiao's heroic appearance on the battlefield. Those invincible generals who rushed into battle were like babies in front of the Taoist Master. They didn't know what the God of War was like, but The Taoist Master is the truly invincible God of War.

Luo Xiao looked at the Taiping Taoists in front of him, with infinite admiration and admiration on their faces.

The current situation in the world is not as bad as that of the late Qin Dynasty, or even as bad as the late Han Dynasty. However, Zhang Jue raised his arms and countless Taoists followed him in rebellion.

These Taoists even brought their families with them, and were not afraid of being killed.

Why is this?

Because the people have changed.

"Waiting to die, what about the country of death?"

This sentence is engraved in everyone's heart.

The once strict Qin Law could be implemented in the world, but now it cannot be done, because the people can no longer endure such harsh Qin Law, and are even unwilling to endure harsh laws that are much looser than Qin Law.

Luo Xiao is a super hexagonal warrior. He understands that dynasties like the Shang and Zhou Dynasties that lasted for five or six hundred years will never appear again. It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty to have three hundred years.

If the head of Guizhou at the end of the Qin Dynasty had been replaced by the current people, the Qin State would have been destroyed by the raging tide of rebellion of the Qin people before it unified the six kingdoms.

Luo Xiao was riding on the horse with infinite emotion in his heart. Facing these Taiping Taoists with infinite longing on their faces, what should he say?

Tell them that the earthly kingdom will be established?

Tell them that a better future is coming?

Tell them that there will be no more hunger, war, or death?

In the end, Luo Xiao just raised his hand high and shouted, "Go to Luo! Kill the Han!"

Go to Luo!

Kill the Han!

The emperor and ministers must all get to know these farmers who have climbed out from the bottom of society.



Yuan Shao and his men took the remaining soldiers and gathered some of the defeated troops, and ran away. Faced with this scene that they had not expected before, several of them were a little silent.

When Yuan Shao saw this miserable scene, countless thoughts were rolling in his mind, and he said solemnly: "Zhang Jiao's next target must be Huangfu Song and the Qinwang army of Yinghou and Wushuanghou.

For the present plan, the only way is to join the imperial army to plan for the future.

At least inform the imperial army about Zhang Jiao's situation.

It’s not that we are incompetent, it’s that person who is brave and inhumane!

If the imperial army does not take precautions early, it will definitely suffer a big loss. If the imperial army is defeated again, then...

Shao is terrified! "

Yuan Shao has already had a psychological shadow in his heart, and there is always a bad premonition in his heart.

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he immediately said: "Zhang Jiao's 10,000-strong army defeated 200,000 of us, and the whole army was wiped out.

This miserable scene, but went to join the army of King Qin.

It's really too embarrassing and I don't want to be humiliated by those people. "

Cao Cao and Liu Bei both twitched when they heard this. This was what they were worried about, but they knew that what Yuan Shao said was correct.

Yuan Shao was not angry when he heard this, but sighed: "My younger brother Yuan Shu Yuan Gongdao is a former general and governor of Nanyang. He leads the troops of Nanyang and is in Huangfu Song's army.

If I go there in this situation, I will definitely be severely humiliated by him, but so what?

Only when a man is born in this world and can bend and stretch can he be able to revive again. "

As soon as Yuan Shao said these words, the expressions on the three people's faces were a bit wonderful. Those of them who had studied together in Luoyang still knew what happened between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Gongsun Zan did not expect that Yuan Shao would be willing to be humiliated by Yuan Shu in order to achieve great things, which made him feel timid.

Yuan Shao is such a ruthless person!

Yuan Shao, however, seemed not to have noticed the expressions of everyone, and continued: "Xingyang was defeated today. I am the leader of the princes alliance, and I will shoulder the responsibility alone. Don't worry, I will personally apologize after seeing your majesty."

Yuan Shao's words were full of heroism. Yan Liangwen was a little worried, but his eyes also showed pride. This was the lord they were loyal to, a hero who stood upright.

"It's impossible at first!"

"This is not fair at all!"

Cao Cao and Liu Bei said almost at the same time, "Are you kidding? How can Yuan Shao be responsible for this matter alone? How should the people in the world view it?"

Those who dare not take responsibility are not worthy of power. This is the iron law in the hearts of heroes.

Although Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's younger brother, he naturally has his own strategy in mind. Today, he let Yuan Shao take the blame for him. What if there is a disagreement between the two in the future?

It is impossible for Liu Bei to accept Yuan Shao's love. He is now Gongsun Zan's younger brother. How can he go beyond Gongsun Zan and let Yuan Shao take the blame for him.

Yuan Shao said that for this reason, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were already preparing to go to King Qin's army, leaving only Gongsun Zan, who is currently the strongest, yet to express his stance.

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan's gloomy face, thought for a moment and said: "Brother.

Zhang Jiao then went to fight with the imperial army. He was the invincible god of war on the battlefield.

Although our defeat at Xingyang was due to an ambush, Zhang Jiao only brought a mere 10,000 soldiers.

If he leads an army of tens of thousands in a head-on battle, with his invincible bravery, are we sure to win? "

As soon as Liu Bei said these words, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gong Sun Zan and the others frowned, and Liu Bei continued: "With Zhang Jiao's appearance, are Wushuanghou, Yinghou and Huangfu Song sure to win?

Although we have a small army, we have a general who can defeat ten thousand people.

If the Yinghou and other generals in the army also have ten thousand enemies, and several people join forces, they may not be able to delay or even defeat Zhang Jue.

By that time, we have made great achievements, who can say that we are the defeated generals!

Brother, think twice! "

Liu Bei's words touched Gongsun Zan's heart. He nodded heavily and said, "Xuande, what you said makes sense. The most important thing is to join King Qin's army and get rid of his crimes."

When Yuan Shao saw Gongsun Zan agreeing, his eyes were inexplicably dark.

After this battle, he had a deeper understanding of Gongsun Zan. Every critical moment, Gongsun Zan would make mistakes, which made him feel a little contemptuous.

On the contrary, it was Liu Bei, the younger brother brought by Gongsun Zan. He thought he was a true hero, and he started to think of wooing him.

Especially his two sworn brothers and the young white-robed general under his command, they made Yuan Shao drool.



The outcome of the victory in the Battle of Xingyang was disastrous for the powerful nobles.

The entire east and south of Xingyang, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and even Yangzhou, a vacuum of warlord rule appeared, which was a devastating blow and infinite fear to the local gentry.

As mentioned earlier, the nobles do not reject the emergence of warlords. Both parties are mutually beneficial. Although powerful warlords will suppress the local nobles, they will maintain order at the same time.

If Zhang Jue marches eastward now, all the powerful nobles in Guandong will be unable to stop his advance. The only option is to surrender and become a thief in their eyes.

And there is a high probability that it will not be accepted. How can the powerful nobles not feel fear?

The most unlucky ones in this great defeat were those powerful men who followed the 28 princes who raised their armies.

Not only was this investment a total loss, but even in the face of the subsequent Taiping Army, it was unclear whether the family could be preserved.

After all, the foundation of the noble family is much higher than that of ordinary powerful people. These powerful people fall too quickly, and a big chaos can plunge their entire family into a state of eternal destruction.

Some families who suffered too heavy losses have even begun to prepare to take their families to take refuge in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, to Yuzhang County, Wu County, Kuaiji County and other relatively remote places.

There are few wars in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and there are quite prosperous cities in Gusu and Jingzhou plains with a large population, making them good places to take refuge.

After hearing the news, the Taiping Army in various states were very excited, especially the Taiping Army in the Nanyang direction. They were already strong and now they are winning consecutive battles.

As for the imperial court, it was like mourning an heir. Several 2,000-ton soldiers were killed in battle. The rest of the officials who died directly in the rebellion were unknown, and the 200,000-strong army was wiped out.

Countless ordnance and food were lost in the hands of the Taiping Army. Such a disastrous defeat was really unacceptable.

the most important is!

"Didn't Zhang Jiao lead an army of tens of thousands to attack Luoyang?

Why did he suddenly go to fight Yuan Shaolin's coalition forces? "

Huangfu Song was asking this question, and he even stood firm and cleared the country.

Luo Kong and Luo Chuan were both asking this question. They led the army to cross the river, and there was a steady stream of troops passing by.

After making so many preparations, it suddenly came out that Zhang Jue was not coming and that he was not in this direction. How could this be accepted?

This proves that the imperial court's intelligence agency has a big problem. It is completely treated like a monkey by Taipingdao. Where is Zhang Jiao now? This is the biggest problem.

Yuan Shao's coalition forces were ambushed and almost completely wiped out, but how were they ambushed?

What exactly happened during the war and what role Zhang Jiao played in it are all things that need to be known in subsequent battles.

Will Zhang Jiao send his army eastward, join forces with the Taiping Army in Guandong, and occupy the fertile lands of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou?

If Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road really occupies the most fertile land in several states, how should the court respond?

Zhang Jiao was able to confront the imperial court by relying on his surroundings in Xingyang. Whether they wanted to admit it or not, everyone recognized that Zhang Jiao was a man who was good at governing the country. Some even said that he had the ability to propagandize.

If Zhang Jiao sticks to Xingyang and resists the imperial army, and relies on the foundation of the several states, he will be able to kill the imperial army in Sili and Yongliang.

These countless questions are swirling in the minds of countless people, making people breathless, and the balance of victory seems to be inevitably shifting towards Zhang Jiao.

The most urgent one was the Wu family. Previously, they detoured from Jizhou to Hanoi to meet Wushuang Hou. No one would have thought that the Yuan Shao coalition would be completely defeated.

All their family assets are in Kanto.

The Lu family was in panic all day long in Qingzhou, fighting with the Qingzhou Taiping Army, and suffered a major blow. The other families, except for the safe position of Anyang Marquis, may incur fatal blows from the Taiping Army.

The military's combat effectiveness and willpower to protect our country are the strongest!

But equally, no army can maintain combat effectiveness on the front line when their hometown is attacked and their families are threatened, not even Luo's army!

Luochuan knew very well that if he did not return to Guandong to rescue the heroes of various families and counties, the coalition forces would immediately disband. Even though the road back to Guandong was full of thorns and dangers, returning home was what he had to do.

At this time, everyone had to lament Zhang Jiao's profound strategy. I am afraid that this step had been anticipated before attacking Yuan Shao's coalition forces.

Luo Xiao is limited by the approaching life span, but it is impossible to send his army eastward. This is information asymmetry. All Luo Xiao's actions are based on the expectation that Luo Xiao will die at any time, but the court judges Luo Xiao based on common sense. Xiao.

But this does not prevent Luo Xiao from using the thinking of people in the imperial court to trick them, designing for them, and letting them fall into the net obediently.

Just like this time!
