Chapter 155: Times Have Changed
Under the city with biting cold winds.
"There are Han people, there are Hu people, there are people who farm, there are herders, there are people who have lived here since childhood, and there are people who have just settled down. No matter who you are, this land under your feet is Han soil! ”
"In the land of my great man, you must obey the law. Even if he is a hero with outstanding achievements, even if he is a famous white horse general. ”
"Today, our 100,000 troops are here to swear, to let the world know that the Han is still there, and no one can divide one side!"
"Oh!"
A general took the lead and shouted, "For the Han, for the Da Sima!" ”
"Exterminate the White Horse Thief! Return the peace of the Yan Dynasty! ”
The great Sima Liu Yu personally led an army of 100,000 to the target Gongsun Zhan.
The latter had just been defeated at Jieqiao last year, relying on Yuan Shaojun's uneven thinking and disjointed pursuit before and after, before and after the counterattack, he was defeated to the end.
This year, Gongsun Zhan's friendly Black Mountain Army was severely damaged by Yuan Shao. During the tug-of-war for half a year, he also tried to support friendly forces and infiltrated Jizhou. However, the result was that Ju Yi pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.
He failed to send troops and was not good at production, so he could only focus on the surrounding people.
For the scholars, the poor, and the strong, he can only raise the tax rate, at most about 30%. As for the small peasants who once fought side by side with him and expelled Hu Ko, there are only two words, squeeze dry!
Youzhou Mu and Da Sima Liu Yu, who are famous all over the world and are quite close to Yuan Shao in Jizhou, can no longer watch this barbaric guy from a strong background behave nonsense, since he does not listen to his persuasion and orders, he can only be exterminated.
In terms of name, prestige, military strength, and even talent, Liu Yu has an advantage, how can such a war be fruitless? Or is it something else?
……
At the same time, there was also a large army in another place.
"Kill! Kill! ”
"Let's go! Settle an old score! ”
"Whoa!"
These soldiers are not so much a murderous aura that shakes the sky, but a wanton and indulgent gangsterism and bestiality.
This army of tens of thousands of people is not at all as uniform as the ancient costume films and television of later generations, but most of them are untidy, yellow, hungry and thin. Many people are holding farm tools, and they are farmers who have just finished the autumn harvest.
There were also thousands of regular troops in armor nearby, but the formation was not very neat.
Let's take a look at the various weapons, some with spears, some with guns, and some with big axes. Looking at the armor again, it also has its own characteristics, some wear two-grade armor, some wear old leather armor, and some do not wear armor.
If you look at the ingredients in detail, some are county soldiers, some are military generals and powerful troops, and some are bandits who gather in the mountains and forests.
For their small commanders, avenging their fathers seemed to be the cause of their fury, and for their family owners, captains, landlords, and bosses, it was finally time to make meritorious contributions, and for the many peasants, tun households, and homeless people who had been adrift for a long time and had just settled down, fighting and robbing was to survive.
"Father, I will let the world and future generations know what the result of murdering you is!"
Cao Cao fought everywhere in this small Yanzhou, the Yellow Turban Army, the Yuan Shu Army, the White Bo Army, the Black Mountain Army, the Xiongnu Army, the Prefecture and County Soldiers, and the Danyang Army......
There may be many, many more, who have been fighting around him for the past two years, but they have all been broken by him one by one. Now he wants to show the world how terrible his anger and counterattack are!
Although Cao Jun decisively repelled Yuan Shu and drove him to Huainan, these days were not smooth. That little tax can only barely support survival, and the newly implemented Tuntian is still being explored, and if you don't go out to eat other people's, there is only a dead end.
Although Xuzhou has not been rich in recent years, the grain just harvested in half of the state should be enough to support this army for more than a year.
"Pass the order, kill freely, and only half of the food and wealth you have looted will be handed over."
"No!"
……
From all aspects of these two armies, Liu Yu's Yan Dynasty warriors, Han-Hu collocation, and cavalry-rich army were much stronger than Cao Cao's mixed army with a small number of troops, a large number of peasants, and thin soldiers.
In terms of opponents, let's just think that Gongsun Zhan, who has experienced a hundred battles in the north, is better than Tao Qian, who has participated in the defense of the Qiang Rebellion, suppressed the Yellow Turbans, and attacked Cao Cao for many years. White Horse Yicong and Danyang Bing are top in their respective home stadiums.
However, Tao Qian is surrounded by a number of firm allies such as Yuan Shu, Tian Kai, Kong Rong, and Liu Bei. In the face of Liu Yu, who is famous all over the world, Gongsun Zhan has completely become a lonely person, and even Wuhuan and Xianbei, who have suffered from his strength for a long time, have followed Da Sima to fight for thieves.
So what changed the next results of Liu Yu and Cao Cao?
The main difference lies in people, whether it is individual ability, group or overall organization, the latter crushes the former.
Liu Yu is the leading big man at this time, his moral reputation is the best in the sea, decades of eunuch life and economic accumulation make him well-versed in the past, even Yuan Shao, who has the name of the fourth world and the third duke, must follow behind him.
Cao Cao, to put it mildly, at this time, the world thought that he was a subordinate of Liu Yu.
Looking at the generals of Wenchen, Liu Yu also has Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and other famous generals who dominate the north and lead tens of thousands of troops, and Wenchen also has the respected Wei Yu and the strategic Tian Yu. There are also countless other subordinate officials.
His 100,000 army is the most warlike establishment in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, with heavy infantry and crossbowmen of the Han army, with all kinds of light and heavy cavalry of the Hu people.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Hu people attached themselves to the imperial court, and a considerable number of them became the elite soldiers of the Han army. Moreover, compared with the declining Xiongnu and the restless Qiang people, Wuhuan and Xianbei have a tendency to catch up.
But times have changed!
The seemingly most exquisite combination is like a candle in the wind, weak and poignant under the trend of the times. It's a pain, and it's a picture of this land that shouldn't be forgotten.
On the other hand, Cao Cao carried hundreds of thousands of displaced people on his shoulders and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of residents of Xuzhou, robbing them of food and land.
Is this a disaster? Definitely. Is this survival? Very true.
This is what troubled times really look like!
Times have changed, and the mixed army and hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Yanzhou have become one of the common killings, and eating the snatched food is no different from the murderers.
Tao Qian was not an innocent person, but volunteered to be the first bird to send it.
Over the years, he has cooperated with Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Montenegro, and the Xiongnu to besiege and beat Cao Cao, not to mention it for the time being. Its recent operation is really high-profile and surprising.
In the fourth year of the first peace, he first gathered a crowd with Que Xuan, who called himself the "Son of Heaven", and jointly captured Hua and Fei counties in Cao Cao's Taishan County, and then attacked Rencheng. Then, Tao Qian killed Que Xuan on charges of rebellion and claiming to be the Son of Heaven.
Soon after, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was killed by Tao Qian's general Zhang Min in this area......
Pity the hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, who gave their lives to Tao Qian and the major scholars, but in the end they became dead souls under the knife.
Ten years later, the Xuzhou Shi clan is still on the top, each serving their new lord, to rob others of food and land, and those dry bones on the roadside have long been kicked aside and turned into ashes.
……
It was already October, but Zhang Lu was sweating profusely and hurriedly walked in. "Tell the lord, Cao Cao broke Tao Qian, Xiapi County was slaughtered, and there were no chickens and dogs."
Tong Yuan sighed, he didn't change the course of history, not because he wanted to sit and watch the development of history, and then come to the back. It's that some things, without enough power, are unstoppable.
When Cao Mengde placed hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban refugees in Tuntian and trained them into the Qingzhou Army, no one could defeat him in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was not good, Lu Bu was not good, and even Yuan Shao was not good.
Of course, Tong Yuan will not try stupidly, maybe there will be a life-and-death battle between the two sides in a few years, but now it still needs to be developed obscenely.
Zhang Lu asked, "Lord, Cao Cao is our enemy, how can Tao Qian be regarded as obeying the words of the imperial court, should we issue a document to denounce Cao Cao's atrocities?" ”
According to the previous situation, the Xiliang Army must not want to see Yuan Shao and Cao Cao become bigger. This time, he has a lever here, and under normal circumstances, he will definitely denounce his crimes to the world.
However, he faintly felt that the cruelty and ruthlessness of the wheel of the times, instead of scolding, it was better to record this moment and end the troubled times sooner.
While he was thinking, Xu Rong came over, he glanced at the surrounding area, only Zhang Lu was there, and said, "Lord, important information." Liu Yu sent 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, but was defeated by Gongsun Zhan! At present, Liu Yu retreated to the northernmost military capital of Taihang Bashan, and did not know where to go. ”
"What!"
Zhang Lu was still not calm enough, and directly exclaimed in a low voice. Even when Xu Rong spoke, the skin on his face twitched slightly. Apparently the news was too shocking.
Tong Yuan sighed again, "Liu Yu is estimated to be in the catastrophe, I can't see the most famous figure in the world." ”
Xu Rong told the news from the Liaodong people he knew here.
Specifically, the Han and Hu armies were very elite, Liu Yu was worried that the people's houses would be destroyed in winter, and he was unwilling to set fire to the city, Gongsun Zan led hundreds of warriors out of the city to set fire to the wind, and the Hu people and powerful forces from all over the country abandoned Liu Yu and left......
Tong Yuan concluded, "This is why, a year ago, our soldiers and horses needed to be divided into the Dreadnought Army, the Tuntian Army, etc., for reconstruction, and the well-known Xiongnu Huchuquan Division, Baibo Han Xian Division, can only be used as a second-line auxiliary force." ”
"The lord is wise."
……
The military capital of Taihang Mountain, in the northwest of the lofty mountains, the originally beautiful and quiet Juyong county town, ignited a raging fire.
Liu Yu did not act as a puppet of Gongsun Chan for a few months as in history, and was coerced to ask Gongsun Chan for an official position and discredit himself.
This time, he was directly reduced to ashes in the fire, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun and drifting away with the wind.
A young gentleman rode up, and he saw the last sight of the honorable lord.
Whipping, falling from a horse, weeping bitterly.
He shouted loudly: "In this troubled world, even you can't go against the trend!? ”
