Five hundred and sixty This winter, it will be very cold
After sealing Yecheng, the entire Jizhou actually had no strength to stop Liu Bei.
Although Yuan Shao's leadership in Jizhou had been established, his reign was still short, and he did not have time to issue decrees to every locality, and even some small counties far away from Wei County had never received an edict from Yuan Shao.
The magistrates of the Ten Counties are now all Yuan Shao's people, all of whom are Yuan Shao's diehards and those who participated in the previous purge of the eunuch industry.
They either worked in Wei County and Yuan Shao's army, or they were local officials in charge of the Ten Counties, and those who were unwilling to cooperate with Yuan Shao's commanders were either killed by him or abandoned their officials and fled.
So Liu Bei went all the way north, and there were chief officials who decided to resist because of the fear of being liquidated.
However, this was useless, because they had very little strength and soldiers and horses at their disposal, and the Wei County Taishou was captured and killed by Liu Bei, and then Zhao Guoxiang and Julu County were also captured and killed by Liu Bei.
They simply did not have the strength to resist Liu Bei's attack, and the principle of ten thousand soldiers driving is vividly reflected here.
Countless chief officials who took refuge in Yuan Shao were defeated and killed, and many people looked at the situation not good, smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and disappeared as soon as they smoked.
For example, Chang Shan, the minister appointed by Yuan Shao, abandoned his official position and fled, and disappeared.
The prime minister of Zhongshan appointed by Yuan Shao was defeated by the family coalition army led by the Zhen family, captured, and sacrificed to Liu Bei alive, and then killed by Liu Bei.
The liquidation of the entire Jizhou to put things in order began at this moment.
Liu Bei rectified the soldiers and horses in Zhongshan State, replenished grain and grass, and went north to investigate the news, and the family consortium led by the Zhen family transported grain and straw materials for Liu Bei, and took the initiative to buy wine and meat for the soldiers to eat, so that the soldiers under Liu Bei's command ate a meal of meat before the war.
Liu Bei also quickly found out the news he needed, and learned that the Xianbei cavalry had entered the south and besieged Dong Zhuo's headquarters in Fanyang City, while Gongsun Zan was surrounded by Yuan Shao in Zhuo County, both cities were not lost, and in addition, Zhuo County had completely fallen.
The southward movement of the Xianbei cavalry proves that the spontaneous resistance organized by the local county and county magistrates in Youzhou has basically failed, and even if there are still some sporadic forces fighting for self-protection, they cannot resist the all-round southward movement of a large number of Xianbei cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry.
Especially in the case of the dereliction of duty of the main figure Gongsun Zhan, failure is inevitable.
Thinking about it, this catastrophe in Youzhou is really miserable.
If he can't win a complete victory here and leave Yuan Shao's head and the heads of the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, then after returning to Luoyang on this expedition, he will definitely be attacked by people with good intentions and his reputation will be damaged.
In the final analysis, Gongsun Chan is the assassin of Youzhou appointed by himself, and now that something has gone wrong, it is difficult for him to completely escape responsibility.
Unless, he can beat the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to bloody blood in one breath, and reproduce the grand occasion of 300,000 captives, so that he can overshadow the crime of "knowing people and not knowing people".
But this means that you have to fight a lot and take a certain amount of risk, and the difficulty of the Northern Expedition will increase.
So Liu Bei sighed helplessly.
My good brother, why are you so stretched at such a critical time?
Liu Bei was helpless, but he also had to face this situation, facing more than 30,000 Xianbei cavalry, and about 50,000 Yuan Shao's army, a total of more than 80,000 enemy troops, which was almost the same as the number of troops of him, Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zhan, and was almost the same.
The armies of Liu Yu, Qiao Mao and Niu Fu were either unable to move, or they were still in the south, and it was difficult for them to move north in a short period of time, and they could not become instant combat forces.
Therefore, it was necessary to take advantage of the fact that Yuan Shao was still being dragged by Gongsun Zhan to join forces with Dong Zhuo and eat the Xianbei cavalry in one bite.
After sorting out his thoughts, Liu Bei no longer hid the malice in his heart.
This group of Xianbei people is really a little too arrogant and can't recognize the situation clearly.
Couldn't the destruction of those two great tribes give them a wake-up call?
Or do they not know that the actual person who is the subject of the Luoyang Imperial Court is now themselves?
It seems that there has been no Northern Expedition for a long time, and there has been no Beijing Temple for a long time, so that they have forgotten the fear they once brought to them and floated again.
Is this good?
It's not good.
Liu Bei had a cold face and ordered the army to quickly move north, preparing these Xianbei people to bring with them the "cold wave" that they might have forgotten.
This winter, it will be very cold.
Su Li and Micah were not unaware of the news that Liu Bei had come to help, and the sentry soon sent the news of the arrival of Liu Bei's army, but Su Li and Micah discussed for a while and felt that they should not be afraid.
Although Liu Bei had defeated the Western Xianbei, the Western Xianbei were traitors and rebels against the royal court in the eyes of the Xianbei tribes in the central and eastern regions, and their internal contradictions were also very great.
Liu Bei cleaned up the western Xianbei, and the eastern Xianbei and the central Xianbei may not be unhappy.
Besides, that was back then, Liu Bei may have used some conspiracy and trickery to carry out a sneak attack, and the waste in Xianbei in the west didn't carry it, and now that they have precautions in advance, they will definitely not let Liu Bei succeed.
They will let Liu Bei defeat here, and they will remind the Han people of the fear that Tanshi Huai brought to them back then, and they will remind them of the Xianbei hurricane that swept the northern border of the Han Empire.
Waste of the West, take a good look at our show!
Su Li and Micah made an agreement with Koji Yi who came with their attack, Koji Yi led his troops to continue to surround Fanyang City, and Suli and Micah reorganized more than 30,000 Xianbei cavalry, and wanted to give Liu Bei a little color.
Koji was a little worried about this.
"Liu Bei has always had a reputation for being good at using soldiers, and he was also a famous general in Liangzhou back then, dealing with the Qiang people, the Han people, and you Xianbei people, he has never been defeated, and now he has more troops than you, are you careful?"
Sori and Micah laughed at this, mocking Koji Yi for being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope.
You are afraid of yourself, don't think that we are also afraid, and Liu Bei does not have more cavalry than them, just a group of heavy infantry, can such an army also confront us?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if we can't fight, can't we run away? As long as we run, Liu Bei can catch up?
Su Li and Mica did not listen to Kojiyi's advice and led their army south, and Koji was surrounded by Fanyang City in the rear, and his heart was full of worries, and he was very worried that something would happen.
The result is true, the more you worry about something, the more you come.
Liu Bei and the Xianbei cavalry started an encounter, and at the beginning of this encounter, Liu Bei did not intend to let these Xianbei cavalry leave the battlefield alive.
The Tiger Cavalry and Xiao Cavalry he brought were a full cavalry lineup, and the remaining three armies could still make up almost 5,000 elite cavalry, plus the 5,000 Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu, and the number of cavalry that Liu Bei could use was also 30,000.
In terms of numbers, Liu Xuande is not false at all!
So he ordered Zhao Yun and Ma Teng to lead a cavalry to outflank from the left, and ordered Pang De and Cao Ren to lead a team of men and horses to outflank from the right, and personally led the cavalry, and Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Cheng Pu and other generals led the cavalry to assault from the front, and the Xianbei cavalry had a hard encounter.
In addition, the 5,000 Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu also looked forward to this war for a long time.
After being a general for a long time in Luoyang, Lu Bu began to feel a little itchy and wanted to join the war.
Liu Bei didn't call him when he crusaded against Yuan Shu before, he felt a little regretful, but this time Liu Bei called him, and he felt very happy.
So when Liu Bei attacked, Lu Bu also received the task and led the Bingzhou cavalry to attack the left flank of the Xianbei people.
He sharpened his sword, and with the long-hungry Bingzhou cavalry, he was ready to launch a super offensive against the Xianbei people.
They are all from the grassland, and they have survived and grown up to today's hob meat!
Su Li and Micah actually didn't expect Liu Bei to take the initiative to attack from the beginning, very tough, fierce, no strategy, only tactics, put the infantry behind at the beginning, didn't plan to let them come forward, and then rushed forward with all the cavalry.
Cavalry to cavalry, Lao Tzu wants to remind you of the fear of being dominated by the Han Empire!
Don't forget, Lao Tzu's surname is Liu!
Liu Bei roared and participated in this group charge, and under the protection of the most elite Iron Guard cavalry, he rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry with an indomitable charge, so that the Xianbei cavalry did not even have much space to use the classic cavalry tactics, and faced the all-round attack of the Han army as soon as they came up.
The Xianbei cavalry was forced to fight, and it was driven in front of the Han army with a pure cavalry lineup without putting a few arrows, raising the knife is chopping, and holding the spear is sprinting, not giving them a chance to react and breathe.
As a result, Su Li and Micah's army was stunned by the Han army as soon as they came up, completely lost their tactical tactics, and completely followed Liu Bei's tactics to fight, and did not give full play to their own strengths.
And in the face of the Han army's sophisticated armor, the weapons refined by the new forging steel method, and the strong combat effectiveness of the horses, they fell into a comprehensive disadvantage.
The cavalry of the Han army charged into battle, chopping and killing one after another Xianbei cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Xianbei cavalry raised their swords to meet the battle, but they often could not insist on fighting with the Han army, and they would be chopped off by the Han army in a few rounds.
So in hand-to-hand combat, the Xianbei cavalry gradually fell into decline.
Zhang Fei thought that he was the No. 1 fierce man in Liu Bei's army, especially when he learned that this group of Xianbei people were rampant in his hometown, indulged in unscrupulousness, and destroyed his hometown in a mess, he couldn't help but feel sad.
After a burst of grief and indignation, Zhang Fei fell into a rage.
