Chapter 332: Cao Cao: T_T
In September of the sixth year of Jian'an, Lu Yi's strange soldiers followed the front line of Xinzheng and Changshe and killed Xudu.
Its main force is dominated by the Yellow Turban Army, relying on the tactics of "coercing the people, overdrawing manpower, and forming a sea of people" along the way, as if it was a snowball, and there were nearly 100,000 people when it reached Xudu!
Sounds pretty scary?
In fact, it consumes about the same number of manpower as 20,000 regular troops, and it requires no training at all—not because of the elite, but because of the ...... Training also doesn't do much.
The main battlefield formations include three moves: "Rushing Up", "Scattering Birds and Beasts" and "Pigs Rushing and Wolves Running......
This is also the typical Yellow Turban style tactic during the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
In the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared, and generally there were only two or three thousand standing garrisons in a county town, and only then could there be more places where some special troops were stationed......
The army of the Han family was all stunned as soon as they came up!
Even the imperial court began to encourage local people with lofty ideals to strive to be diligent and brave and actively save themselves, and Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others all shined at that time.
It wasn't until the imperial court also stabilized its position and really began to deploy troops and organize to quell the chaos that it found out how much water these Yellow Turban Army had!
A regular Han army that is not easily intimidated by numbers can defeat five times the Yellow Turban Army at a very small cost, and if there are elite generals, ten times or even more can try.
Later, the number of Yellow Turban Lux increased, and the Yellow Heaven Department of Yi Ji can still be opened at every turn, although there is no direct killing, but it can summon some fog and black smoke, light wind and rain, and can also use Fu Water to heal himself...... It's really a hard bone to gnaw!
Tao Sheng didn't have Huang Tianji, so he could only use the same set as in the early days of the Yellow Turban Army.
The manpower, material resources, and productivity of the place are greatly damaged, and the successive victories will be arrogant, and the blood will collapse once the defeat is ...... But it does work well in the short term!
In particular, although the Yellow Turban Lux is insufficient, it has a halberd as a sharp knife.
Xu Du Xun Yu is here, and he didn't have any opportunity to be taken advantage of by these rabble, but he couldn't stand Xu Du and there were internal contradictions!
On the night Xun Yu learned the news, he ordered a strict curfew, and those who went to the street for no reason, Xu Duwei could be directly killed with a cane.
Even because Xun Yu is usually in the Prime Minister's Mansion and is more protective of the majesty of the Han Dynasty - because Cao Cao was "drunk" at the banquet before, Xun Yu also privately asked Cao Cao to advise - so on the night when the Yellow Turban Army came to Xudu, Liu Xie also summoned Xun Yu into the palace.
If it were any other person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Xie would not want to try it......
No one will go to the palace at this time - how did He Jin die back then?
But since it was Xun Yu, Liu Xie felt that he could talk to him - wasn't I as good as him Cao Cao?
Even if Dong Cheng was very jealous because of this, Liu Xie still thought that he could give it a try, as long as he said that Xun Yu would move, he could show his strength and follow the example of Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing.
However, to Liu Xie's disappointment, when Xun Yu came to see him, he also brought 300 armor soldiers with him, making it clear that he would not eat soft and hard!
Even when Liu Xie hinted at Xun Yu, Xun Yu was also hinting to Liu Xie, asking him not to do anything that embarrassed him and made the prime minister feel cold - obviously in Xun Yu's heart, Cao Cao was still in the first place, and Han Tianzi was just Bai Yueguang after all.
was so angry that Liu Xie sent the guest directly!
And before Xun Yu left the palace, Xu Du was on fire everywhere, and the generals of each family heard the wind and shouted one by one to extinguish the fire, but there were more and more people on the street, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger......
When the guards who enforced the curfew tried to stop them and help put out the fire, they were inexplicably attacked.
There were very few people who knew about this plan before, but who in the court didn't have some generals with tiger talismans at home? Who doesn't have some ordinary weapons? Who...... Don't understand what this is going on?
After taking the lead, they took advantage of the situation to dance wildly, including some courtiers who had been eyebrow-raising with Cao Cao and kneeling and licking the Prime Minister's Mansion before!
The defenders of Xudu not only had to defend the city, but also had to fight in the streets all the time......
At the same time, the Xuzhou army led by Zhang Fei also sent troops from the newly built "Xinpei" at the original site of Xiaopei, with light cavalry in front and infantry in the rear.
The defenders of several counties along the way heard that the Yellow Turban Army and the Yuan Army were approaching Xudu, and Xudu was in chaos, and there were even rumors that Xudu had been broken, and on the other hand, as Xuzhou's "allies", they crossed the border in the name of support......
It's not stopping, it's not chasing, and the slightest resistance is not active!
Zhang Yan ...... at this time To be precise, it is the performance of this half year, and it is also very amazing, as if it was counted in the Yuzhou Rebellion, just the right number of troops to go out of the customs and include the entire Hedong in the bag.
And when the capital of Xu was in turmoil, together with Yang Feng, he also marched east in the name of King Qin!
In less than ten days, Xu Du was crumbling, and the inner palace of the palace was also isolated from the outer city at this time, and the new bus order appointed by Cao Cao was actually reversed by Liu Bei, and the few remaining forbidden troops of Liu Xie, Liu Ai and Dong Cheng's generals, blocked the palace together.
There are very few troops in the palace, and when the palace was built, Cao Cao did not give it much defense, which is completely different from the palaces in Chang'an and Luoyang!
It's just that what Liu Xie means now is just "self-preservation", a look of "It's chaotic outside, I'm so afraid, Xun Aiqing resists, I praise you", and Xun Yu is not good at doing anything to the palace.
However, when the news of the Xuzhou army coming to "support" came, Xun Yu couldn't take much care of it, and decided to make a desperate bet to storm the palace, rob Liu Xie and Liu Bei, and go north to join Cao Cao first!
However, Liu Bei was in Sima Gate, crying all the way, crying about the way of heaven, crying about more than 20 emperors of the Han Dynasty, and crying about Li Min...... How can anyone who hears it is sad and those who see it sad and angry, and the morale of Xun Yu's subordinates is affected......
In the end, the two sides agreed on an alliance under the city......
Xun Yu didn't dare to take too much risk, after all, the city was not only Liu Xiehe's court, but also Cao Cao's family members and the families of the Prime Minister's Mansion's staff.
Xun Yu let Liu Xie and the courtiers leave, and at the same time Liu Xie issued an edict to Cao Cao Jiuxi, and reaffirmed that Yuan Shao was a rebel and a traitor, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng was the pillar of the country.
That is, to confirm Cao Cao's status as a loyal minister, and to "grant Jiuxi", that is, to allow him to open the country by Wei, reduce the shackles of the imperial court to Cao Cao in the future, and at the same time not give the imperial court a chance to reconcile with the Yuan family!
Anyway, now that the Xuzhou Army has arrived, Liu Xie pondered that the use value of Yuan Jun had been almost squeezed, so he accepted it all......
Liu Bei also wanted Xun Yu to get out of the way of returning east to Xuzhou, but Xun Yu's answer was very strong and stopped at letting them leave Xudu!
At the same time, Xun Yu is also ready, and then he will block Xuzhou, at least not let Liu Xie be invited to Xuzhou......
Dong Cheng persuaded Liu Bei with a smile at this time, he had already contacted Yang Feng, the "old partner" who helped the Son of Heaven escape together last time-Xuzhou, the land of the Four Wars, what did the Son of Heaven do there?
Let's go back to Sili!
Liu Xie now distrusts all the princes, so he politely asks Uncle Liu Huang to send troops to protect him, and supports Hui Sili on the other hand, probably because he feels that in this way, all parties restrain each other, and he has a better environment to display the emperor's heart......
