Chapter 86: Five Days and Six Cities (13)
Cao Cao arrived at Wuyang City one step ahead of Liu Fan, there were only three thousand yellow turbans in Wuyang City, and the leader He Man was not in Wuyang City, and Cao Cao instigated two sentences under the city, so he opened the door and surrendered.
Cao Cao originally wanted to spread his reputation in Wuyang City, so that the people of Wuyang County would remember him Cao Cao.
Behold? The surrendered yellow scarves brought by Cao Cao spread Liu Fan's reputation everywhere, and Cao Cao was said to be Liu Fan's deputy general, and he was ordered by Liu Fan to exterminate the Wuyang Yellow Turban.
The people of Wuyang City are convinced of Liu Fan, because Liu Fan is famous. Cao Cao was well-known among the scholar family, but he was unknown in the eyes of the people. Which is like Liu Fan, benevolence and righteousness are blessed to the world.
In the eyes of the surrender of the Yellow Turban, Cao Cao stayed by Liu Fan's side all day long, without any sense of existence, obviously he looked like a general, and this time he came to Wuyang, Liu Fan must have sent him.
For a while, Cao Cao had a sigh of being born and being a mortal.
In Kunyang City, the 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers guarding Kunyang watched their big leader with his small leader and henchmen ride the only 20 or so horses in the city and flee in a hurry, and they didn't know what to do.
Officers and soldiers and cavalry can really make people invincible!
The soldiers will be defeated, and vice versa, if the generals flee, the soldiers will be defeated.
"He Man is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"I thought he was a warrior, but who knew he was so cowardly?"
"It is rumored that Liu Fan Rende, Yangzhai County lives and works in peace and contentment, and the surrender of the Yellow Turban will also be granted to the field, so it is better for us to surrender!"
"Yes, the leader has abandoned us, we surrender!"
"Defending the city will die, and you can only survive by taking refuge in Liu Jun."
After discussion, the Kunyang Yellow Turbans unanimously agreed to surrender Kaesong.
Guan Yu came from the north, and He Man fled from the south, so Guan Yu didn't know that the leader of the Kunyang Yellow Turban had fled.
"Riding Governor, why do you see the Kunyang City Gate opened?"
After Guan Yu led a thousand horsemen to the north gate of Kunyang City, a sharp-eyed tooth keeper said to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu glanced at it, the gate of Kunyang City was wide open, and teams of Yellow Turban soldiers poured out of Kunyang City. The Yellow Turban soldier at the front raises a white flag.
"Haha, the lord is mighty all over the world, and before we arrived, Kunyang has been conquered. Go, come with me. Guan Yu laughed and held his long beard with one hand.
After Guan Yu came to Kunyang Yellow Turban with the cavalry, he asked them: "Who is the leader, stand up for me."
Kunyang Yellow Turban looked at Guan Yu, who was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and was majestic, and was afraid to move forward.
With a red face and a long beard, holding a big knife, could he be Guan Yu who cut Bo Cai in two with one knife. The more people thought about it, the more frightened they became.
"Where is your leader?" Seeing that no one stepped forward, Guan Yu's eyes were sharp and he shouted loudly.
"Retribution... General, our leader, Homan... Long from the South Gate... Ran away. A yellow scarf stepped forward tremblingly and said intermittently.
"How long has it been? Where did you flee to? How many people are there? Guan Yu asked again and again.
"It's almost two quarters of an hour, it seems to be going to Nanyang, and the leader only takes more than 20 of his henchmen to ride." Yellow Turban breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied.
"It's still too late, I'll take a hundred horsemen to pursue the thief leader, and you are waiting here for the arrival of the lord."
After Guan Yu gave orders to the other subordinates, he pulled the reins and led a team of 100 people to chase south.
An hour later, Liu Fan came to the outside of Kunyang City, and he had already learned the news here.
Guan Yu went to pursue He Man, Liu Fan did not send someone to recover it, this place is located in the Nanyang Basin, basically a flat river. If He Manzhen fled back to Nanyang Qi County or Ye County, Guan Yu would stop in moderation.
Kunyang City is covered with traces of time, and as soon as he entered Kunyang, Liu Fan felt a lot of emotion.
In the past, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was famous here.
The root cause of the demise of the Western Han Dynasty was Emperor Liu Biao, who was deaf, favored Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters, ignored the government and handed over the power to the mother family, resulting in the continuous dictatorship of the mother family.
Wang Mang regent, after successively deposing Emperor Ping and the two young lords of Ruziying, replaced the Western Han Dynasty and officially called the emperor, with a new country name. After 214 years, the Western Han Dynasty perished.
Liu Xiu is the king of Changsha Liu Fa, because of the "Tui En Order" issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu's father descended from the liehou to the county order in turn. By the time Liu Xiu arrived, he had completely declined and became an ordinary civilian.
Wang Mang's many policies infringed on the interests of the nobility and commoners, and the impact of natural disasters caused many anti-Xinxin people to rise up, including Liu Xiu.
When he first rebelled, Liu Xiu didn't even have a war horse, so he had no choice but to ride a bull into battle, which also became a good story in later generations, that is, "the founding emperor on the back of a bull".
In the first year of the change, Liu Xuan of the clan was supported as the emperor by the generals of the Green Forest Army from all walks of life. Liu Xiu was named a partial general at that time.
Xin Mang was shaken and sent his younger brothers Wang Yi and Wang Xun to lead 420,000 elite soldiers from various states and counties to rush to the front line of Wancheng. Liu Xiu was forced to retreat from Yangguan in the northwest of Yangzhai to Kunyang, when there were only 9,000 soldiers in the entire Kunyang.
At the critical moment, Liu Xiu was in danger and persuaded the generals to stick to Kunyang City, and he took the thirteen horsemen to Dingling and Yuncheng overnight to mobilize reinforcements.
Wang Yi is known as a million troops, after arriving in Kunyang, he launched an attack on Kunyang and threatened to slaughter Kunyang City, and the Kunyang defenders had no way to retreat and held on to the dangerous city. When Liu Xiu arrived with 17,000 cavalry reinforcements, the new army was exhausted from the long battle, and its spirit was greatly reduced.
Liu Xiuqin led more than 1,000 elites as the vanguard, repeatedly rushed and killed more than 1,000 of Wang Mang's army, and the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted. Later, with 3,000 warriors, he detoured back to the enemy's flank, smuggled across Kunshui, and launched a fierce attack on the Wangyi base camp.
Wang Yi still underestimated the enemy, ordered each battalion to strangle their own soldiers, not to send troops without authorization, Wang Yi and Wang Xun led 10,000 people to meet the battle, Wang Yi's soldiers and horses were in trouble, Wang Xun died in battle, and the generals did not dare to send help.
The defenders of Kunyang saw the victory of the Han army outside the city and took advantage of the situation to attack. Wang Mang's army was in chaos, and they fled for their lives, trampled on each other, and accumulated corpses all over the field. At this time, the sudden strong wind flew tiles, the torrential rain was like a note, the water swelled, and more than 10,000 people of Wang Mang's army waded into the water and drowned, and the water did not flow.
The main force of the new dynasty, known as a million-strong army, was destroyed under the city of Kunyang, Sanfu was shaken, and the new Mang regime collapsed. In September of the first year, the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an, Wang Mang died in the melee, and the new dynasty collapsed.
Liu Xiu broke the army of 420,000 with just over 20,000 people, making him famous all over the world, and countless famous generals worshipped. Liu Xiu had a grudge against the Gengshi regime because his brother was killed by Emperor Gengshi, and he was proclaimed emperor after pacifying various peasant armies in Hebei, known as the Later Han Dynasty in history.
After Liu Xiu became emperor, he defeated the Red Mei Army, swept away Guanzhong, won Longwangshu, and dominated the world. After the unification of the world, according to the system of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he was diligent and loved the people, thrifty and thrifty, and ushered in a prosperous era for the Han Dynasty, that is, Guangwu Zhongxing.
Later generations are also divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty because the capital of Chang'an is in the west and the capital of Luoyang is in the east.
From the conquest of Jiaxian, to Cao Cao's collection of Wuyang, Liu Fanping's Kunyang, and in five days, six cities were connected.
