From the beginning of the failure of the ugly man's provocation, the steppe empire began to attack.

To tell the truth, the elite of the Grassland Empire is 100% cavalry, and the cavalry is indeed quite powerful in the open area of the plain, especially the cavalry of the Grassland Empire, which is simply invincible.

But if it is used to siege the city, then the cavalry is a little more powerful and has nowhere to go.

And the Grassland Empire was reluctant to let their elite cavalry touch this steel-like city, and it was the 1.5 million prisoners of war who finally attacked Yanmen Pass.

However, although these 1.5 million are prisoners of war, we must not underestimate these prisoners of war.

The combat effectiveness of these prisoners of war is no worse than that of some long-trained soldiers on the side of Da Zhou, and their attacks are more wild and fierce, and they are almost fighting with Lu Bu here.

This made Lu Bu very confused, after all, even a person could see what kind of role these 1.5 million prisoners of war were in the army of the Grassland Empire.

The Grassland Empire obviously regarded them as cannon fodder, and in this case, it was difficult for Lu Bu to understand why this group of cannon fodder could be so sacrificed to death.

In fact, the reason why the Steppe Empire was able to let these prisoners of war fight so desperately was entirely because these cannon fodder were collected from the Steppe Empire colonies.

These cannon fodder still have their own relatives in their hometowns, and once they don't work hard and don't fight the battlefield, the Grassland Empire will take their relatives and execute their relatives with the most cruel means.

And if these cannon fodder prisoners of war died heroically on the battlefield, then the Steppe Empire not only would not embarrass their families, but also promised that within twenty years, they would not collect taxes from their families and levy prisoners of war or war slaves.

This set of management methods is simple and crude but effective, allowing the war slaves under the command of the Prairie Empire to fight in the craziest way and mentality when the battle breaks out.

One and a half million prisoners of war, who were almost destined to die, burst out with an astonishing and terrifying fighting force.

Although they did not have a commander, the despair, madness and hysteria of 1.5 million people condensed together, but also gave birth to a special military momentum, which made the soldiers of the entire Yanmen Pass feel inexplicably depressed.

If the Yanmen Pass side cannot properly handle this problem, the military strength of the soldiers in Yanmen Pass will continue to decrease, and their emotions will continue to be controlled and swayed, and eventually there is even a danger of collapse.

Fortunately, there is still a Gao Shun here at Yanmen Pass.

As soon as the battle broke out, Gao Shun, who commanded the 300,000-strong army at Yanmen Pass, directly gathered the military momentum.

Although there is no talent for the outbreak commander, the condensed army is enough to resist the military momentum of the War Slave Legion, coupled with Gao Shun's good defensive command skills, as well as the help of various city defense equipment prepared in advance in the past two years at Yanmen Pass, Gao Shun still easily suppressed the attack of the War Slave Army.

Of course, Gao Shun himself also knew very well that this kind of relaxed battle situation would not last long.

The other party's army is too much, if the other party does not retreat, even if there is only this 1.5 million extremely crazy army, it will be difficult for them to deal with it, not to mention that there are 500,000 real elites of the Grassland Empire behind this 1.5 million army.

If there were no reinforcements on their side, even if they were fighting a considerable situation now, he would inevitably have lost the city in the end.

Gao Shun knew this, Lu Bu knew it, and the middle-aged man who left from Yanmen Pass not long ago also knew it.

So the middle-aged man didn't dare to delay for a moment, came out of Yanmen, and went directly to their neighbor's Youzhou.

Hurrying up, under the condition that the accompanying guards continued to use their skills to hurry, it took only three days for the middle-aged literati to come to Youzhou and meet Yang Jian, the emperor of the Great Sui, the current controller of Youzhou.

When the middle-aged literati arrived, in fact, Yang Jian had already received some news about Yanmen Pass.

However, although the news was received, the authenticity of the news, as well as the size of the grassland empire's army, and the strength of the grassland empire Yang Jian's side were still doubtful.

In addition, the current Da Sui has reached a very critical moment, so Yang Jian is somewhat uncertain about this matter.

The middle-aged literati seemed to see Yang Jian's hesitation, and without a word, he directly signed an agreement with Yang Jian as soon as he arrived.

As long as Yang Jian is willing to send reinforcements, the two counties close to Youzhou will be sent directly to Youzhou.

The middle-aged literati took advantage of it, and directly broke Yang Jian's hesitation, and Yang Jian made a decision on the spot to support the annexation of the state.

After the negotiation was reached on the side of the Great Sui, the middle-aged literati did not dare to delay at all, and went directly south to Jizhou, and when they arrived in Jizhou, the middle-aged literati were much more relaxed.

When he arrived, the battle at Yanmen Pass had already broken out for ten days.

In ten days, the battle situation at Yanmen Pass has spread to Jizhou.

The Han side had a more detailed understanding of the strength of the Grassland Empire, and they also knew that Lu Bu would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Grassland Empire.

Therefore, the Han side was actually already preparing for the war before the arrival of the middle-aged literati.

However, it is one thing for the Han side to make pre-war preparations, and when the middle-aged literati came over, the Han side still took a bite in the state, and carved up two counties from the state, so he agreed to send troops.

The middle-aged literati who visited the two countries and sold the four counties did not stay in Jizhou for long, and turned around and went to Sili's side.

When the middle-aged literati came to Si Li's side, the person who received him directly told him that Si Li's side had sent troops, and the army was on its way to Bingzhou.

Hearing this, the middle-aged literati breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, after being relieved, the middle-aged literati did not forget to ask what people wanted.

Middle-aged literati would not believe that Cao An was so kind and did not ask for anything in return.

In fact, Cao An is indeed conditional, he wants to appoint Lü Bu as the general of Zhenbei, and will regularly support the annexation of the state in the future.

This one request seems to be a benefit, compared to the two goblins in the Han Dynasty and the Great Sui.

In fact, Cao An's appetite was much bigger than theirs, and he was directly going to tie Lu Bu to his chariot.

For Cao An's request, the middle-aged literati who had not blinked an eye before selling land hesitated for the first time.

This matter is too big, he has no choice, and he can't mention Lu Bu to call the shots, even if it's just a simple perfunctory.

Of course, the middle-aged literati at this time didn't know that when Yanmen was entangled in him, he couldn't support it, and if he knew this, he wouldn't be entangled in anything......
