In 193 years of Huaxia, on the fifth day of the fourth month, Zhu Jun, the general of the Southern Expedition, besieged 100,000 Yuan troops in Gaoyuan. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info same month, Zhu Jun stormed Gaoyuan City, which took three days, and Gaoyuan City was conquered by the Tianci army. 70,000 Yuan troops were captured, more than 20,000 were killed, and less than 10,000 escaped.

In the 193rd year of China, in mid-April, Zhang Xiu, the general of the Southern Expedition, cut off the connection between Dongguan County and Linzi, and blocked the reinforcements from Yanzhou and Xuzhou in Dongguan. At the same time, Zhang Xiu attacked the major counties in Dongguan, and the army was like a broken foot, and in only one month, the whole county fell into the hands of Zhang Xiu.

In the same month, Gao Shun sent 50,000 troops south to take over Dongguan, and ordered Zhang Xiu to lead the army eastward to cooperate with the attack on Beihai State east of Linzi. It is required that within a month, it is necessary to unite with Beihai Kongrong to occupy the entire territory of Beihai, open up the passage between Donglai and Linzi, and receive the naval division to attack Yidu.

In 193 years of China, the Battle of Yuzhou in early May gradually became clear, Cao Ying saw that the general trend had gone, and there was no point in holding Xuchang, so he immediately ordered the army to retreat to Runan with the people and abandon the entire territory of northern Henan. Cao Ying understood that if he continued to entangle with Yan Liang and Guan Yu, he would lose more than just northern Yuzhou.

Abandon the car and protect the handsome!

At present, it is the best choice to retreat to eastern Henan, maintain vital strength, hold on to Runan with the back of the Lianghuai region, and block the Tianci army outside the eastern part of Yuzhou. Only in this way can Cao Yingfang keep the main force and the base camp of the world.

Huaxia 193, mid-May.

Liu Tai issued an edict to Guan Yu and Yan Liang, asking them to stick to the northern part of Yuzhou and not to advance eastward easily. And asked the two to monitor the situation in Nanyang at all times, and now the only one in the Central Plains who can directly threaten Luoyang is the Nanyang Emperor's Township, and Nanyang has extraordinary significance to the Han family, and Liu Tai, who is about to become the emperor, must take Nanyang down!

At this time, Nanyang was in a state of separation between the east and the west, with Lü Bu occupying the eastern part of Nanyang and Yuan Shao holding the western part of Nanyang. If the two sides continue to fight, there is no benefit, so the two sides have withdrawn their troops as early as a few months ago, and now Nanyang has long been destroyed, and at this moment, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are actually already thinking about changing the court.

Of course, if it weren't for the last resort, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would still be reluctant to give up Nanyang, although Nanyang has been destroyed now, but after all, it is the emperor's hometown! As long as the foundation is still there, it will definitely be able to recover, and occupying the imperial township will have extraordinary significance for Yuan Shu and Lu Bu!

It's a pity that Liu Tai will allow Yuan Shu and Lu Bu to bounce under their noses again? Although the Central Plains Campaign has not yet ended, and the main forces in northern Xinjiang have been too scattered, in Luoyang, Liu Tai still has more than 100,000 troops to mobilize, plus 20,000 or 30,000 from Yuzhou, which can completely form an elite division of 150,000.

150,000 heaven-given troops, enough to sweep the entire territory of Nanyang!

In the year of 193 in China, May 20.

The battle of Yizhou entered a state of stalemate, Zhang Fei of Yinping did not dare to go south easily, Huang Zhong, who attacked Jiameng Pass, could not be attacked for a long time, and the grain and grass transported from the rear were a bit of a drop in the bucket because of the long distance, so that the balance of the Yizhou Battle was tilted again to Liu Xuan in Shuzhong, and Huang Zhong obviously could not come up with good countermeasures.

In the same month, Liu Tai dispatched Dongfang Jue and several freshmen who had graduated from military academies to Yizhou to help Huang Zhong. Liu Tai also understands that the roads in Yizhou are difficult and dangerous, especially in Jiameng Pass, Wuguan and other areas, and if he wants to occupy Yizhou in a short time, Liu Tai has never thought about it!

Huaxia 193, mid-June.

One month after the end of the Battle of Yuzhou, Liu Tai appointed Huangfu Song as the general of the expedition to the south, and sent two corps of 60,000 iron cavalry under the command of Huangfu Song, and asked Huangfu Song to lead the army to recruit Nanyang Yuan Shu, be sure to capture Yuan Shu alive, and capture the Nanyang Yuan clan.

At the same time, Liu Tai personally led the commander-in-chief, led the 30,000 Jinyi army and the 30,000 Tianci army to Nanyang to complete Lu Bu. Lu Bu is a lone wolf, handed over to others, Liu Tai is not at ease. Therefore, Liu Tai decided to personally conquer Lu Bu, and if it was feasible, Liu Tai even wanted to capture Lu Bu!

Huaxia 193, early July.

When Liu Tai's army set out from Luoyang to Nanyang and marched for seven days, he was suddenly born with a vision, half a day red, half a day dark, as if there was a heavenly dog eating it, and the scene was extremely dreamy.

Therefore, Guo Jia, a military advisor who accompanied the army to the south, suggested that Liu Tai stop continuing to go south, saying that it was not in line with the will of heaven to occupy the imperial township at this time, and if he forcibly stopped, it might be a bad omen.

For some reason, Liu Tai's persuasion of Guo Jia was simply ignored, and he sneered at the so-called vision of the Tengu eating food. At the same time, he forcibly asked the army to rush to Nanyang, because along the way, Liu Tai saw too many tragic situations, and the culprits of all this were Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu fought in Nanyang for half a year, beating the huge Nanyang like a hell on earth, with corpses and bones everywhere, and homeless people starving to death everywhere. These homeless people are okay to eat, and many of them even kill their wives and concubines on the spot to eat, and the bones are everywhere, which cannot be described as hellish Nanyang.

Huaxia 193, mid-July.

30,000 Jinyi Army, 30,000 Tianci Army Cavalry Troops Linye County.

In fact, with the speed of action of the entire cavalry of the 60,000-strong army, it would not take half a month to travel from Luoyang to Yexian at all. But after entering Nanyang, Liu Tai really couldn't order a quick march!

Why?

Because there are people everywhere who migrated north from the hinterland of Nanyang to Luoyang, these people have no food, they can only eat grass, eat soil, and even can only drink water to satisfy their hunger.

Others say that Liu Tai is cold-blooded, ruthless, and a murderer! Liu Tai admitted.

But who is this cold-blooded object? It's a barbaric foreigner, it's the uncivilized Japanese people. For his own people, Liu Tai is never cold-blooded!

On the way, Liu Tai ordered the transfer of grain and grass from all over the country to Nanyang for rescue again and again, even if Liu Tai forgot how many times he gave the order! And the grain and grass transferred from the rear did not increase because of Liu Tai's edicts, but became less and less! Why? Because there is no autumn harvest yet, most of the grain stocks in northern Xinjiang are in the southern and western expeditions of supporters, especially the refugees who went north from Yuzhou before, and countless grains and grasses were allocated in northern Xinjiang.

How many people are in a state?

If you really want to calculate carefully, I'm afraid there will be at least millions!

Although it is said that Yuzhou has experienced wars and disasters for a long time, after all, it is the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, and it is close to the granary of Lianghuai, so the people are naturally much more than other states and counties. And because of the guerrilla warfare of Yan Liang and Guan Yu, they wantonly plundered the people to the south, so that the expenditure on grain and grass in northern Xinjiang will be even greater.

Although Nanyang is only a county, you must know that Nanyang is not only the old nest of the Yuan family, but also the imperial hometown of the Han Dynasty! In such a place of outstanding people, can the number of people not be large? According to the statistics before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of the whole county of Nanyang, not counting the gate lord clan, was at least about 1.5 million.

And counting the door-to-door valve clan, there are more than three million!

Such a huge population base, although it has decreased a lot after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but after all, the foundation is there, and after years of cultivation, it has recovered a lot. And because of the war between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, the people's good life has come to an end.

Although Yuan Shu is timid, greedy, and has no brains, he really doesn't do much to exploit the people. After all, with Yuan's financial resources, Yuan Shu has no shortage of yellow and white things at all. In history, when Yuan Shu ruled the Lianghuai region, the main reason why the people of Lianghuai were miserable was that Yuan Shu lost the foundation of Nanyang!

And after Lu Bu entered Nanyang, he was completely fascinated by the rich Nanyang. Lu Bu can be said to be second only to Liu Tai in terms of personal force, but in terms of political ability, it is a mess. Every time he entered a city, Lu Bu would inevitably order the plundering of wealthy merchants and gate lords, and the plundering team would often point the butcher's knife at the people

The people don't want to die, so they can only flee, and since they call it fleeing, how can they have time to take food or something to satisfy their hunger? Of course, although Nanyang is rich, the actual wealth is gathered in the hands of the Zaimon clan, and the people actually have no food in their hands, so they can only barely survive.

In this way, Lu Bu's behavior indirectly caused turmoil in Nanyang!

In fact, with Lu Bu's combat power, he can completely enter Wancheng and kill Yuan Shu or drive him out of Nanyang! But why has the Nanyang battle been dragged on for so long? It's because of Lu Bu's massacre! As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!

Lu Bu wiped out the people and the gate lord clan, who is still loyal to Lu Bu?

In the past, when Lu Bu invaded Nanyang, he brought nearly 100,000 troops, but now Lu Bu occupies half of Nanyang, but the actual army is only about 50,000 or 60,000! Why? Because Lu Bu is unpopular! All the subjects under Lu Bu's rule either fled or were killed, it can be said that in the entire eastern part of Nanyang, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one for hundreds of miles!

Liu Tai is angry!

I'm so angry! Once, Liu Tai thought about how to take Lu Bu under his command, but seeing the miserable situation of the people in Nanyang, Liu Tai decisively erased this idea. At this moment, Lu Bu has become a dead man in Liu Tai's heart, of course, even if he is not a dead man, he can only be driven away.

Liu Tai can't tolerate such a murderous general under his command! In this way, Lu Bu killed a foreign barbarian, so Liu Tai would not say anything, and would reward him lavishly. Just like Wen Chou, Wen Chou's killing in the Western Regions is a hundred times more exaggerated than Lu Bu?

But what happened to Wen Chou? It's still fun to eat, it's fun to play, and those who should lead the soldiers still lead the soldiers, and there's no at all! Why is this happening? It's because Wen Chou killed Hu people!

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! Killing foreigners, Liu Tai won't say anything, but Lu Bu killed the people of the Han Dynasty!

For a long time, Liu Tai was very puzzled, wondering why after the Jin Dynasty unified the world in history, the population was less than eight million!

You must know that in modern big cities, there are millions of people to pick out a few at random, but in the early days of the Jin Dynasty, the entire dynasty was less than 10 million!!

What a speechless number is this?

At this moment, Liu Tai finally understood, the reason why this is the case is entirely because of Lu Bu and these princes! Over the years, the reason why the princes have not slaughtered the city is entirely because Liu Tai is pressing on his head, Dong Zhuo oppresses the people, and the end of the people being regarded as inappropriate is still vivid, how dare the princes go too far?

But Lu Bu is different!

Lu Bu was originally Dong Zhuo's general, and he inherited Dong Zhuo's set!

When he was in Yanzhou, because the population of Yanzhou was not abundant, and he had no opponents, Lu Bu's murderous surname was not shown. But in Nanyang, Lu Bu's real surname was completely exposed.

Nanyang is different from Yanzhou, after all, the Yuan family has been rooted in that way for hundreds of years, and it can be said that every place in Nanyang is controlled by the children of the Yuan family behind it. How could the children of the Yuan clan allow their own territory to be ceded to Lu Bu? In this way, a tragic war cannot be avoided. And because of the heavy losses under his command, Lu Bu's punishment of the enemy's fathers and fellow villagers was naturally severe!

Although there is a warning in it, I hope that the cities that will be attacked in the future can be realistic, but the development of things is often not something that Lu Bu can control!

Especially the wolf riding in the state! The Bingzhou Wolf Rider is a real tiger and wolf division, under the command of Lu Bu, it can be said that countless achievements have been established, and such a tiger and wolf division, if it turns into an executioner, the terrifying degree is simply unimaginable!

Ye County couldn't resist Liu Tai's footsteps! It couldn't even be resisted for a moment, because although Ye County had Lu Bu's garrison, there were only three or four hundred people, and most of them were remnants with red eyes from hunger. It is worth mentioning that these soldiers stationed in Ye County are in a very strange situation, why do you say that? Because they don't have a last name at all!

Because the people fled because of Lü Bu's killing, the fields were uncultivated and commerce could not circulate, so there was not much food in Lü Bu's army for a long time. As for the grain and grass in places like Ye County on the border, they can't be supplied at all.

People are faint from hunger, and they can do anything!

In order to fill their stomachs, the defenders of Ye County actually pointed butcher knives at the people, and treated the people as two-legged sheep to raise, and Ye County, which has not much population, how can it withstand the ravages of the defenders? After Ye County was conquered by the Tianci Army, Liu Tai couldn't find a few complete "people"!

It's so inhumane!

This situation made Liu Tai completely furious! On the spot, Liu Tai ordered 30,000 Tianci cavalry soldiers to divide into four routes to recover all the cities in the three directions of Bowang, Nieyang, and Pingshi controlled by Lu Bu, and asked the generals to kill and slaughter all the defenders as long as they found that the defenders were cannibalistic! And Liu Tai personally led 30,000 Jinyi guards to send Wuyang.

Lu Bu's headquarters is stationed in Wuyang!

There are natural barriers on all sides of Wuyang County, and there are even upper boundary mountains to block it, which can be said to occupy a geographical advantage, and it is not easy to conquer Wuyang with the combat power of Jinyiwei.

You must know that there are 8,000 wolf horses engraved with Lu Bu in Wuyang City, and there are nearly 30,000 troops!

Although the number of both sides is small, since ancient times, the number of besieging sides has often been about two to three times that of the defending side. The Jinyi army has only 30,000 people!!

The most important thing is that the attrition of these 30,000 brocade clothes is very serious, whenever a part of the displaced people is gathered, Liu Tai will send a small team of 50 people to send the people to Luoyang, and in the long run, the non-war attrition is as high as 5,000 people!

Among the remaining 25,000 people, they are also responsible for transporting grain and grass, collecting the people, and collecting game to supplement the army's rations, so that there are only about 15,000 troops that can actually fight!!
