Chapter 40: Losing Both Sides (Part 3)

"Second son, take the guards to quickly escort the general out of Hushan Pass, take a detour to Jixian County, and go to ask Lord Liu Yu and Lord Liu for guilt." Guan Jing shouted at Gongsun Fan, who was following behind Gongsun Zhan to kill.

“… Fan Ling. Gongsun Fan gritted his teeth, glanced at the defeated soldiers with less than 10,000 behind him, and stepped forward with the guards, ignoring Gongsun Zhan's resistance, directly knocked him unconscious, and led thousands of soldiers and horses to retreat to the north side of Hushan Pass with Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan's martial arts are strong, and he is not something that Gongsun Fan can deal with, but under the crazy killing of Wu Hengbing, he has no defense against Gongsun Fan behind him, giving Gongsun Fan an opportunity.

On the battlefield, the Wuheng cavalry has long been unable to support it, the 30,000 cavalry when they came, now there are less than 8,000 left, seeing Gongsun Zhan leading the troops to flee, Qiu Liju shouted: "Stop the march, rest in place..."

It's not that Qiu Liju doesn't chase Gongsun Zhan, or if he fights for several hours this time, many soldiers have long been exhausted, and they don't have the ability to step forward and hit Gongsun Chan directly.

Half an hour later

"Oh no, oh no, there are large groups of soldiers and horses in the rear, under the banner... The banner is..."A pro-soldier bowed down under Qiu Liju in a panic.

"What is the flag? Say it!! Qiu Liju sat down on the corpse weakly and said with a snort.

Seeing that Qiu Juli was angry, the soldiers trembled and said, "The king... The banner is the right Beiping Taishou Liu Tai..."

"What... Ahh

"Kill, kill all the thieves...."Before Qiu Liju could reorganize his troops, he saw thousands of cavalry under the leadership of Liu Tai charging towards the remnants of Wuheng.

Liu Tai, who was running at the front, saw Qiu Liju, who had just fallen to the ground seven or eight hundred meters away, and shouted angrily: "Qiu Liju, I will not kill you this time, I swear not to be a man, and I will accept my life!!! ”

"Flutter... Countless Wuheng cavalry, who had no time to resist, all died tragically in the hands of thousands of cavalry led by Liu Tai.

"Kill!!! Kill all the dogs!! Thousands of Han cavalry rushed towards Qiu Juli with a frantic look, and the Wuheng cavalry, which was already out of strength along the way, was not the opponent of the Han cavalry at all, and their eyes showed desperate eyes.

"Kill !!!" Liu Tai rushed into the Wuheng cavalry alone, constantly waving the overlord halberd in his hand, and countless pieces of flesh and blood of the Wuheng cavalry flew around Liu Tai in an instant, and the screams were endless.

"Qiu Liju, look where you're going." Liu Tai gritted his teeth and looked at Qiu Juli, who was getting on the horse and running backwards, and shouted.

"My life is on hold...."Seeing Liu Tai's crazy expression rushing in his direction, there was no enemy along the way, and all the soldiers who were blocking Wuheng were in different places, and in an instant they rushed not far in front of him, Qiu Liju muttered to himself with a stupid expression.

"Die!!!" Seeing the frightened Qiu Juli looking at him stupidly, Liu Tai kept his halberd and slashed directly at Qiu Liju's body. "Flutter", I saw Qiu Liju's entire body being cut in half by the overlord halberd, flesh and intestines flying, and the overlord of the Wuheng generation fell...

In 179 A.D., on the sixth day of September in the first year of Guanghe, Qiu Liju, the king of Wuheng Heng, died and Liu Tai halberded, and then all the remnants of Wuheng cavalry were killed by Liu Tai, and then Liu Tai took advantage of the situation to send troops to occupy the entire Yuyang County.

Yuyang County

Originally, Yuyang Taishou Gongsun Zhan's mansion has now been burned to ruins, Gongsun Zhan's wife and concubine are small, and his brother Gongsun Yue all died in this battle.

After Liu Tai returned to Yuyang County, he ordered Huang Zhong to lead the army to take over the eight counties of Qianping, Yuxi, Anle, Hunu, Pinggu, Luxian, Yongnu and Quanzhou under the rule of Yuyang County, although four or five county towns in the north were slaughtered by Wuheng Iron Cavalry, and the population did not survive.

But the four counties in the south are safe and sound, after the re-counting, the remaining population of 23,000 households, 268,000 people, most of them are in the south without encountering the invasion of Wuheng, the north is close to the grassland of the generation, can be described as thousands of miles of uninhabited, and before the war, including the Shanglord clan, the population of the entire Yuyang is not less than 500,000, even if the people in the Yuyang County Government are not less than 300,000, this war, the Han can be described as a heavy loss, within a few decades, Yuyang is difficult to recover, but Xianbei is not much better, Xianbei nobles under Karasuma Mountain, almost all of them were killed and wounded, which was a few points worse than Yuyang.

"Lord, the spies have come to report that Gongsun Chan has led more than 6,000 remnants of soldiers and has been stationed in Jixian County, and Gongsun Chan has also been detained by Liu Yu in the Jixian prison waiting for the imperial court to fall." Xi Zhicai came to the ruins of the original Gongsun Zan Mansion in Jixian County with a dusty face, and bowed to Liu Tai, who was standing in a daze among the ruins, and said.

"Oh? The court falls? Hmph, hum Gongsun Zan is a eunuch, how can he be sent down, at most, it is just a big thing to turn into a small thing, and a small thing to turn into a small thing. Liu Tai shook his head with a lonely face, then turned to look at the tired Xi Zhicai and asked, "Zhicai, what are the losses of our army this time?" ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Tai's lonely look, shook his head and sighed: "The loss of our army in this battle is less than 1,000, which is actually the biggest victory of our Han army in the use of troops against foreign tribes in hundreds of years, even if the army used troops against foreign tribes in the Han Wu era, there was no such big victory. ”

"Yes!!" Liu Tai didn't feel the slightest bit complacent, just nodded coldly and said, "Have you counted the grain and grass materials seized in Hushankou?" ”

"My lord, all the materials have been counted, a total of 123,000 taels of gold, 33 million taels of silver, the money cannot be calculated, 40,000 carts of grain and grass, and the rest of the playthings and equipment are also above 100,000 taels of gold." Xi Zhicai coldly reported the huge wealth that everyone could not ignore.

"Whew..." Liu Tai couldn't help but breathe in a breath of heat, with this material, at least in the next few years, there is no need to worry about logistics and materials, and there is no problem in recruiting one million.

"All the savings of the five county gate valve clans, plus the wealth of Wuheng's lair, are really terrifying." Liu Tai smashed his mouth and said, then frowned and sighed and said: "Take out a piece of material, not half of it, and distribute it to the people rescued from Karasuma, and each family can receive fifty acres of fertile land according to the head, remember, although these fertile fields are given to the people, they cannot be bought and sold privately, rented out, and if they are found by the government, they should be punished for serious crimes." ”

Liu Tai originally wanted to give the people a little more compensation, but he thought that half of the wealth was already tens of thousands of taels of gold, and hundreds of thousands of refugees could get hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

"Yes, my lord." Xi Zhicai is also a wise man, so he naturally understood Liu Tai's plan, then nodded, and continued: "My lord, I think the good news documents sent to the imperial court have arrived, and I hope that the lord is ready to go south to Luoyang." ”

Liu Tai nodded, knowing that under this big victory, he would have to go back to Luoyang to receive the reward no matter what, and now the embarrassed should be those scholars in the court, should reward Liu Tai like this? It is not an exaggeration to rely on Liu Tai's once-in-a-century victory to be crowned king, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to be a king in addition to hereditary, although Liu Tai is a relative of the Han family, but the problem is that Liu Tai's lineage of the prince has long been cut, but the seal is low, how can the court block the mouth of Youyou?
