230 Cao Cao's worries

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

"We are Wuhuan people, spare us!"

"Please, spare us!"

A village more than 100 miles outside Liucheng has been reduced to a human purgatory.

While exploring the road ahead, a vanguard of the Xianbei people came across this village.

They rushed into the villages, where they burned, looted, raped and plundered.

In the houses of the village, the screams of women continued to sound, and one by one Xianbei men walked out with their pants up, and then, one by one, Xianbei men walked into the house.

In the evening, these Xianbei men were all busy, and they directly burned down the house.

Even the women in the house were burned to ashes.

"Lord Helian, let's do this, let the Wuhuan people know, will we be held responsible?" A Xianbei general asked the leading Xianbei man.

The leader is called He Lian, who is a nobleman among the Xianbei clan.

The young man named Helian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the Wuhuan people won't recognize these mongrels. ”

"Let them know, and don't care. Besides, we didn't have any room to live. ”

"If it is discovered by the Wuhuan people, let's say that this is a Han village."

Wuhuan people are the earliest naturalized grassland barbarians, in the period of Liu Yu and Yuan Shao, there are many Wuhuan and Han intermarriages.

These Wuhuan and Han people intermarried outside Liucheng and in the grassland.

That is, in the middle of the Han and Wuhuan people, villages were established one after another.

These villages are also the villages that are now being burned and looted by the Xianbei people.

These villages outside Liucheng, after all, they are half of the Han blood in their blood.

Half a month ago, Prime Minister Cao Cheng had already sent people to let these villages take refuge in Liucheng as soon as possible, so as not to be persecuted by the grassland barbarians.

But it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words!

I don't know if it's because it's hard to leave their homeland, or because they think they also have half of Wuhuan's bloodline in their blood, so they didn't take refuge in Liucheng.

Instead, he chose to stay in the village.

The consequences of their stay are already obvious, they were directly killed by the Xianbei vanguard troops, and there was not a single living mouth!

On the grassland, the three largest races are the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes.

At one time, it was the Xiongnu who had the greatest power.

However, after various blows to the Xiongnu throughout the Han Dynasty, first Wei Qing and then Huo Quai, so that the power of the Xiongnu was not as good as it was back then.

Over the years, Wuhuan took over the position of the Xiongnu and became the largest alien race on the grassland.

Although the Xianbei forces are not as strong as the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, they are the wildest of the three ethnic groups.

Among these three tribes, Xianbei is the most like an uncivilized savage.

The vanguard of the Xianbei tribe camped near this village at night, and they roasted sheep on a bonfire.

That's right, two-legged sheep.

Early the next morning.

Liucheng.

"Report" A scout hurriedly came, knelt down on one knee in front of Cao Cao, and reported: "The large army of the Qiyu Prime Minister, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan is less than thirty miles away from us. ”

"All the villages along the way have been scorched!"

Prime Minister Cao Cheng stood on the city wall of Liucheng, and the hand holding the Heavenly Sword at his waist couldn't help but tighten slightly.

Those villages outside the city, at least half of the Wuhuan bloodline, were all brutally murdered.

All the people in this Liucheng are Han Chinese!

If these Han people fall into the hands of the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes, the consequences can be imagined.

As soon as Liucheng is broken, the entire city will be turned into a vast scorched earth.

Cao Cao has already ordered to live and die with Liucheng!

This is not just talking, in this battle, Cao Cao really won all of himself.

If this battle is won, then, from then on, he Cao Cao will occupy the righteousness, and the people of the world will no longer be able to stand on the moral high ground to attack him.

Who wants to attack Cao Cao from the highest point of morality, then, Cao Cao only needs to ask rhetorically, Lao Tzu defeated the Wuhuan, the Xiongnu, and the three tribes, which of you can do it? If you can do it, you will attack Lao Tzu again.

Even if it was Wei Qing and Huo Quai, he only defeated one Hun.

In this battle, if Cao Cao wins, he will defeat the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes at the same time, and he is the hero of the Han Dynasty.

But if Cao Cao is defeated, this Youzhou will be lost, and the northern side will be naked under the hooves of the alien races in the grassland.

By that time, Cao Cao was a grassland alien race in the front, Liu Biao and Sun Jian in the back, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Bingzhou on the left, and Liu Zhang in Shu on the right.

Once this battle is lost, Cao Cao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and he is not far from defeat.

Cao Cao can't afford to lose this battle, and he can't afford to lose it anyway!

This battle is a national fortune.

This is a battle of national fortunes.

If he wins, then Cao Cao's general trend has been achieved, and no one in the world can stop him. It is only a matter of time before the world is unified.

It has been more than ten years since the princes of the Eighteenth Road discussed Dong. If defeated, Cao Cao's more than ten years of hard work will come to naught.

In this battle, no matter what, Cao Cao did not allow himself to lose.

His words about living and dying with Liucheng are not just words.

If he dies, he Cao Mengde will also die in this willow city with dignity.

"Pass the order!"

"The generals of the various departments need to be strictly guarded, and if anyone loses the city wall, I will cut off his head, and I will show no mercy!"

"Xia Houen, you hold the Qingyu Sword as the prison officer. Anyone who is cowardly, regardless of official position, will be killed" Cao Cao's cold voice sounded.

After giving the order, Cao Cao said to Jia Xu, the military advisor on the side: "Wenhe, you say, can we win this battle?" ”

In this battle, Cao Cao did not seem to have an advantage.

In terms of troops, there are more than 500,000 Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu tribes.

On Cao Cao's side, there are 100,000 Caoren in Jieshi Dao, 100,000 in the Xiahou brothers in White Wolf Dao, and 150,000 here in Liucheng.

Cao Cao's army is only 350,000 when it is full, and many of these 350,000 troops are new soldiers.

If you have to talk about advantages, then Cao Cao's only advantage is to occupy the advantage of the terrain!

However, the current battle can be said to be the largest war of alien invasion in recent decades.

Even Prime Minister Cao Cheng has no bottom in his heart!

Of course, Cao Cao didn't know the bottom in his heart, not because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to defeat the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes.

With the terrain advantage of Liucheng, coupled with the fact that the White Wolf Road and the Jieshi Road are each other's horns, Cao Cao is confident that with 350,000 troops and 500,000 strongholds.

What Cao Cao is worried about is his rear, his hometown.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and Cao Cao are most worried about now that these two families are taking advantage of this time to sneak attack his base camp!

You must know that Cao Cao's elite soldiers and strong generals are all in Liucheng, and at this time, if someone steals his home, it will be troublesome.
