Chapter 1569 : Chapter Seven hundred and eighty-nine
Chapter 789: Rewards based on merit, amnesty for the world
Liu Feng's troops entering Xudu gave the world the impression that the Han Dynasty had begun to revive, claiming to dominate the north. www
Judging from the territory currently under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, Liu Feng wanted to contain the following princes. Sun Ce, Liu Pan, Liu Zhang, and Liu Feng also did the same when they were in the south.
The emperor issued an edict and conferred the title of King of Shu and King of Chu. Liu Zhang and Liu Pan became weak and lost their ambitions. As for Sun Ce, although he was powerful, his military strength was limited by the internal mountains and Yue due to geographical limitations.
The maximum number of troops sent out at one time was only tens of thousands.
Although there are many arrogant soldiers and advisers, they do not pose a huge threat. But it is different in the north. Liu Feng is going north to dominate and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. The biggest threats are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Of these two guys, Yuan Shao is in Hebei and has strong power. Cao Cao has just defeated Yuan Shao and achieved hegemony. Cao Cao has everything Sun Ce has and has a strong army. After the Battle of Guandu, he had 200,000 horse infantry.
In this way, these two guys became Liu Feng's biggest obstacle to reviving the Han Dynasty. And, soon after Liu Feng entered the north, Cao Cao made Liu Feng feel this.
If not for the help of stirrups and horseshoes, Dong Cheng led his cavalry to gallop across the Central Plains, which dampened the spirit of Cao's army, and the Han Dynasty would have been destroyed in that battle.
After a lucky victory, Cao Cao launched a war against Qingzhou. Liu Feng took advantage of that battle. He launched a war against Yuan Shao, which caused Yuan Shao to retreat to Hebei and minimized the threat to the Han Dynasty. In response, Cao Cao's power became more and more powerful.
It expanded and became a huge force that threatened the survival of the Han Dynasty at all times.
This time Cao Cao's 200,000-horse infantry marched westward to attack Xudu. It was a battle for Cao Cao to gain a foothold. Cao Cao wanted to occupy Xudu and become the king and the leader of the world. For the Han Dynasty, it was a battle for survival. This time they were defeated.
After Cao Cao, he recuperated his strength and allowed the newly trained cavalry to form combat effectiveness, so that he could rest easy. Now, this goal has finally been achieved. After the Han Dynasty revived and dominated the north, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao suffered setbacks.
This means that the Han Dynasty has gained a foothold in the Central Plains and has become stronger and more powerful. It is no longer possible for ordinary people to threaten the survival of the Han Dynasty. Until this moment, the resurgence of the Han Dynasty has truly been achieved.
Xu Du was in jubilation, and amidst this jubilation, Xu Shu's army was slowly returning.
The wind was a bit strong at the moment, blowing loess all over the sky.
About fifty miles south of Xudu, a large army marched forward against the dust. A handsome flag embroidered with the character "Han" was erected high, fluttering in the wind, with teeth and claws. The other "Xu", "Dong", "
The characters "Gan" and "文" are used to describe general flags, which were also blown by the strong wind.
"Huhu."
Although the weather was bad, the morale of this army did not drop. On the contrary, it was very high. They returned in triumph and were generously rewarded. When the soldiers thought of the general's generosity, they all felt hot.
Not only the soldiers, but also Xu Shu, Gan Ning, Wenpin, Dong Gai and other four people were more or less looking forward to it. As generals, naturally they all seek to be granted the title of marquis for their meritorious service.
And this time the army won a great victory, they should also be granted the title of Marquis. They were somewhat enthusiastic.
With such a feeling of triumph, the army slowly walked fifty miles and came to the gate of Xudu City.
