Chapter 874: Mountains and rivers are devastated

On November 28, 193, the princes of Kwantung, after nearly a month of discussion, elected Cao Cao as the leader of the coalition and Liu Bei as the deputy leader.

On December 23 of the same year, on the seventh day of Liu Xie's move to Changyi City, Shanyang County, Yanzhou......

The envoys of the Jizhou army, Xun Chen and Xu You, the envoys of the Huainan army, Yuan Lian, the envoys of the Youzhou army, Guoyuan, and the envoy of the Montenegrin army, Liu Shi, came to Feiguo City, Taishan County, Yanzhou, to discuss the strategy of dealing with the Liangzhou army.

As early as the day before, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Liu Ye and a group of civil and military personnel, escorted by 20,000 cavalry, to Feiguo City.

In the next three days, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xun Yu, Xun You, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Liu Ye, Jiang Ji, Guo Jia, Xu You and others discussed day and night...... How to deal with the eastward advance of the Liangzhou army.

After three days and three nights of deliberation and debate, a strategy was formulated to defend against the enemy......

'Abandon the large swaths of cities, land, and people west of the lower reaches of the ditch water, the river, and the Yingshui, and use the tactics of luring the enemy to go deep to induce the Liangzhou army to advance eastward... to capture the defense line of the Cao-Liu coalition army east of the ditch water and the river.

The Cao-Liu coalition army waited for work, and then used the strategy of exhausting troops to wear down the morale of the Liangzhou army, and when the time was ripe, they launched a counterattack.

The Jizhou Army and the Montenegrin Army joined forces, closely guarding the northern and western Hebei areas, building a unified defense line to delay the Liangzhou Army.

The Huainan Army held the area of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, and held the left flank defense line of the Cao-Liu coalition army, and also used a defensive posture to drag the Liangzhou army. ’

The three-way defense line of the Kwantung Coalition Army all adopted the tactics of 'active defense, waiting for work at leisure, luring the enemy to fatigue, and then counterattacking'.

This time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei learned the lesson of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and all the strategic materials such as grain, grass, ordnance and so on were prepared by themselves.

On the second day after the end of the Kwantung Coalition Army's military conference, Liu Bei, Xun Chen, Yuan Lian, Guoyuan, Liu Shi and others did not dare to delay time, so they hurriedly returned to their respective stations.

On the third day of the first month of 194, the Cao and Liu coalition forces, totaling more than 340,000 people, gathered in the east of the lower reaches of Yingou Shui, Bishui and Yingshui... Yanzhou East County, Jiyin County, Yuzhou Chen State, Liang State, Pei Guo line.

Cao Cao left Xun Yu, Jia Kui, Hua Xin and others to assist his eldest son Cao Ang and stayed in Changyi City.

At this time, the wolf Gu Zhiyi Sima Zhongda was still hiding himself deeply, staying in Changyi City, only observing in secret, ready to go.

The correspondence between Cao Pi and Sima Yi is more secret, but it is becoming more and more frequent.

Cao Cao personally led Xiahou Xuan, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jiang Ji, Mao Jue, Xu Chu, Cao Zhen, Guo Huai, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Shang and a group of civil and military forces to guard the defense line of Yanzhou East County and Jiyin County.

Liu Bei personally led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Guan Hai, Wu Anguo, Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and other civil and military forces to guard the defense line of Chen Guo, Liang Guo, and Pei in Yuzhou.

Tian Yu, Jian Yong, Cui Yan, Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin and others stayed in Qingzhou's nest. Chen Qun, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others stayed in Xuzhou.

………………

As Pang Tong expected, when the army in the middle of the Eastern Expedition led by Li Mushuai came out of the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuyuan Pass, and Revolving Gate Pass......

Yingchuan County, the western part of Runan County, and the large areas of cities and land west of Yingoushui and Bishui in Chenliu County have no Cao soldiers.

Where the Middle Route Army of the Liangzhou Eastern Expedition passed...... The cities, fields, and villages are all devastated, riddled with holes, and miserable......

The number of displaced people, in rags, begging for food with the elderly and children, is innumerable all over the mountains.

It turned out that when Cao's army retreated eastward, it adopted a more vicious and despicable strategy than "clearing the wilderness......

Cao Jun looted the people's food, burned the people's houses, destroyed the things that could not be taken away, and burned and smashed the city.

When the families of these places fled eastward, they left behind only coolies to carry their property, and the rest of the tenants, servants, and the like were all left in dead places with no houses to live in and no food to eat.

Whether it is the Yanzhou army or the local family, not only did they not flee east with the people, but they also brought the people who wanted to go together... Assaults, assaults, robberies.

Originally, Liu Bei's idea was to bring as many people as he could, and he would bring as many people as he could.

However, Cao Cao didn't listen, and there were strong admonitions from Xun You, Guo Jia, and Jiang Ji......

The Yanzhou army wanted to sacrifice the people, let this group of "livestock, ants" like people stay in the place of death, and let them become a burden to the Liangzhou army.

Hundreds of miles of escape...... Hot Books

No less than 150,000 people were killed and wounded, and the cold climate of early spring had a layer of frost attached to the corpses.

The women who were ragged, curled up and trembling after being ruined by the soldiers of the Cao army and the sons of the wealthy families of the family...... It's even more difficult to count.

Cold and desolate, hatred is in Li Mu's heart!

The cold is in the hearts of the soldiers in Liangzhou.

What you saw and heard along the way......

Soldiers, all heartache and tears!

The soldiers, without the slightest hesitation or sporadic hesitation, left their change of clothes and rations to the people.

The west bank of the Langtang Canal in Chenliu County, Yanzhou.

The people who were fleeing all over the mountains, under the kind words and persuasion of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, gathered with apprehension and trembling......

"Mountains and rivers are devastated...... The people were sinner......

All...... My fault! ”

Looking at the displaced people, the waves floated in Li Mu's eyes, looking up to the sky and sighing, his voice was full of endless sadness, self-blame, and heartache......

"The army went out to the east......

It is to rule the world and save the people......

I don't know...... But it harmed the people! ”

Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Gao Xiang, Zhang Wei, Zhuo Ying, Wu Lan and other generals......

His eyes were already scarlet, his heart was full of hatred and anger, and his fists were clenched and he was about to split...... Hatefully staring at the place east of the Langtang Canal.

"My lord!

Don't blame yourself! ”

Pang Tong turned around and raised his head, forced the light in his eyes, and immediately slammed to the ground, his expression was full of solemnity and solemnity, and his tone was full of murderous intent......

"It is not the fault of the Lord that the people have suffered in this way!

When Jing and Yi were pacified, the people of the two states did not suffer this catastrophe, which was caused by the kindness of Liu Zhang and Liu Biao.

The suffering of the people in Yanzhou is really the sin of Cao thief, and it is really the sin of the powerful family!

Can the Lord inflict this great sin on himself?

The lord should be ambitious, wave the three-way army to the east, and in one fell swoop wipe out the rebellion in the eastern part of the country, and avenge the hatred of the people......

Give the people a bright future! ”

"My lord!

What Shi Yuan said is extremely true, don't be discouraged! ”

Deng Zhi touched his eyes, raised his throat, and said with a sincere expression: "Cao Jun is cruel and unkind, so that the people can suffer like this!"

Everywhere the army passed, they were kind to the people! The people will understand the benevolence of the Lord!

The people will be grateful to the Lord, but how can they complain about the Lord?

It was your lord who saved the people! ”

The Liangzhou army was relieved.
