Chapter 536 The Tribulation of the Yuan Family
Chapter 536: The Disaster of the Yuan Family (Page 1/1)
The arms race in Dahan, which was initiated by Jizhou, has lasted for more than half a year.
In the past six months, rebellions of varying degrees have occurred in all major states and counties except for the Jizhou forces.
This made the people around Jizhou full of great yearning for Jizhou, and some people who wanted to live a stable life began to secretly migrate to Jizhou.
At first, the princes did not react, and only when they found out that the people in their own territory were losing a large number of people, they realized the seriousness of the matter.
However, by the time they began to strictly guard against death, more than two or three percent of the people in the territory had already been lost, and many places in the area under their control were uninhabited within 100 miles.
The areas with the most serious loss of people are Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
Yuzhou was Yuan Shao's original territory before, and when the previous princes attacked Liu, Yuan Shao was killed by Liu Yuan in Qingzhou.
Even those civil and military who went out with him, few of them were able to escape back, which also led to the collapse of Yuzhou's strength by more than seventy percent overnight!
If the descendants of Yuan Shao in Yuzhou can work together at this time, there may be a small chance to regain their strength again.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao's three sons are not as good as their old sons.
After his father was killed in battle, Yuan Shao's three sons instead of choosing to be brothers, but instead began infighting between brothers!
The three brothers with their respective supporters fought in Yuzhou, and the brothers seemed to have an unending hatred between them.
It wasn't until they got the news that Jizhou had begun to strengthen its military that they were forced to temporarily stop the infighting between brothers because of the strong pressure from Jizhou.
But they still did not choose to unite, but split Yuzhou into three parts, and then the three brothers each occupied a part.
In Liu Yuan's eyes, there is no threat to such a Yuzhou, if he wants to take down this brother, it will be completed in less than half a year at most.
However, Yuan Shao's three sons didn't think so, and when Jizhou didn't move for half a year, the three of them actually started to fight against each other again.
For a while, the entire Yuzhou was made by the three of them, coupled with the previous arms race caused by Jizhou, Yuzhou at this time was simply hell on earth.
The people living in Yuzhou, and even many officials, were about to be unbearable, and many of them began to revolt one after another under the provocation of some officials with ulterior motives.
At this time, there were no less than 30 rebel armies of various names in Yuzhou, and this still had a name.
As for those who have no name, or who have been acting in secret, there are no less than a hundred and ten branches.
The three sons of the Yuan family fought against each other, and the rebels in the territory were rampant with bandits, and Yuzhou, a continent with a large population since ancient times, was cut by 30% of the ordinary people in half a year.
The rest of the people are worried every day, for fear of being accidentally involved, and many of them have already moved their families to the mountains and forests to escape the war.
More people choose to escape from the hell on earth in Yuzhou.
Their main direction of escape was Jizhou, and in a short period of time, Jizhou accepted no less than 200,000 Yuzhou refugees.
When the third son of the Yuan family noticed this situation, the area near Jizhou in Yuzhou was already empty, and there was not even a single family left in some villages.
Yuan Shao's three sons were so angry that they immediately issued extremely harsh decrees:
If anyone dares to flee Yuzhou, once they find out, it will be a great crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans!
Even this can't stop the people who fled, and those who haven't fled before tried every means to escape from Yuzhou.
At this time, Liu Yuan of Jizhou made a move that made the three sons of the Yuan family extremely angry.
That is to send his general Zhang Liao, who led a cavalry team of more than 10,000 people to rush into the territory of Yuzhou.
At first, the three sons of the Yuan family thought that Liu Yuan was preparing to make a move on them.
They immediately shrank back all the men and horses they had sent out to guard against Zhang Liao's army, which might attack them at any time.
Who knew that Zhang Liao didn't have the slightest interest in their city, but kept wandering around the junction of Yuzhou and Jizhou with his people.
As soon as Yuan's army was discovered, Zhang Liao would immediately rush forward with his men and horses, and for those who knew the times, they would disarm them and escort them back to Jizhou.
But whenever he encounters the kind of blind, Zhang Liao will definitely lead the crowd to annihilate it without saying a word, if such an act can be accepted by the third son of the Yuan family.
Then what Zhang Liao did next was absolutely unacceptable to them!
Zhang Liao, the horseman, actually took his men and horses to cover the escape of a large number of people in Yuzhou from Yuzhou.
Moreover, they also brazenly set up barracks in Yuzhou, and once a citizen fled to the range of their barracks, they would immediately send people to protect them.
This made Yuan Shao's three sons angry, and for the first time after the rupture, they united and sent an army of 50,000 to annihilate Zhang Liao's troops.
But what they didn't expect was that the 50,000 people they sent, after just coming into contact with Zhang Liao's men and horses, chose to surrender to the Jizhou army en masse.
Even the generals they sent did not come back, and the loss of these 50,000 people made Yuan Shao's three sons suffer for a long time, and after that, they no longer dared to send troops to attack Zhang Liao's men and horses.
In this way, the people in Yuzhou fled towards Jizhou like flowing water.
Yuan Shao's three sons did not dare to send troops to intercept them, so they could only watch the rapid loss of the people under their rule.
At this time, they could only hold on to the city in their hands, and strictly prevent the people living in the city from fleeing with them.
In this way, three months later, in addition to the people in the city, at least more than eighty percent of the people living in the countryside fled to Jizhou!
At the same time, Yangzhou Mu Yuan Shu also faced the same embarrassing situation, although his Yangzhou was not divided, but he was also frightened by the Jizhou army in the last war.
At the same time that Zhang Liao was sent to Yuzhou by Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan sent his general Dian Wei to Yangzhou, and Dian Wei led people to break through directly to a place less than a hundred miles outside Shouchun.
Although Yuan Shu was very afraid in his heart, he was unwilling to give up his governance, so he ordered more than fifty percent of the troops in Yangzhou to be transferred back to Shouchun.
This made its already overstretched forces even more insufficient to defend the entire Yangzhou, and Dian Wei took this opportunity to quickly transfer the people of Yangzhou.
When Yuan Shu found out that the situation was wrong, more than forty percent of the people under his rule had been transferred!
At that time, Yuan Shu was furious, and he ordered his generals Li Feng and Le to lead 100,000 people to attack Dian Wei.
But when Li Feng and Le arrived with soldiers and horses, the place where Dian Wei had been entrenched before had already been empty.
Li Feng and Le looked at the empty piece in front of them, and could only helplessly return to Shouchun with the people!
