Yang Jikang's elder brother, Yang Jizhong, blocked Cao Cao's arrows during the rebellion, but was seriously injured and died. All the Yang family generals who had taken refuge with Cao Cao were killed in the battle.
The second son of Yin Zhou, Yin Jiao, who had reached the level of a divine general, was accidentally ambushed by Li Yan's plan.
Yinjiao was besieged by many generals of the Chu army. Not only did they kill several generals, but they also wounded Li Guo. In the end, after killing more than 200 people in a row, he died from thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
In addition to Yang Jikang, Yang Jizhong and Yin Jiao, there were also 23 generals including Cao Anmin, Cao Yong, Cao Cheng, Cao Shun, Xia Houen, Xia Houjie, Yang Ming and Zhu Ci, who died in battle with Yanzhou one after another.
In the battle between the four major princes and Li Zicheng, it can be seen how difficult it is for Cao Cao to unify Yanzhou.
After Li Zicheng's death, the way for the remnant Taishan army to retreat to Jizhou was cut off, and most of the children fell into the hands of Cao Cao. Therefore, the top brass of the remnant army wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did something that made him
Something that I even regret.
Li Yan's wife Hong Niangzi and Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying were both beauties who had their names on the Hundred Flowers List.
After Cao Cao met the two women, he was so lustful that he lost his mind and raped Li Zicheng and Li Yan's wives, which angered Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo and military adviser Li Yan.
With their aunt and beloved wife humiliated, it was impossible for Li Guo and Li Yan to surrender to Cao Cao, so they risked their entire army being annihilated and had to go through many dangers to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang.
All in all, Cao Cao's process of unifying Yanzhou was definitely more difficult than Liu Xiu's campaign against Jingnan, but he still overcame all obstacles and persevered, and became one of the strongest princes in the world.
There are three major battlefields in the Central Plains, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
Both Yu and Yan states suffered numerous casualties, and although Xuzhou caused the lowest number of casualties, the intensity of the battle was unmatched by the two states combined. Battles at the level of gods of war and generals broke out non-stop.
On the Xuzhou side, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Shiji each led an army against the two armies of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
Zhu Yuanzhang not only had Luo Shixin, the god of war, who was at the level of a super general, but also had Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, Xue Rengao, Xiang Zhuang and many other generals.
Of course, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have a stronger lineup, including Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc.
However, although Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of generals, they were so far behind in terms of military strength and foundation that they lost Xiapi County and were forced to engage in guerrilla warfare.
Under the command of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the Xuzhou battlefield consisted of three days of small battles and five days of one big battle. At the most intense time, there could even be three battles in one day. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang, assisted by Fan Zeng, was the one with the upper hand.
In the Battle of Xuzhou, Jiang Song fought three battles with Luo Shixin and achieved two wins and one loss. In one of them, after defeating Luo Shixin, he fought alone against the three brothers Liang Shidu, Liang Luoren, and Liang Hulang, and defeated them.
The three brothers were killed in one fell swoop.
Yuwen Chengdu once fought alone against Xue Wang, Xue Ju, Xue Rengao, and Xue Renyue, consisting of his father and grandson. Three of them were divine generals. With the combined efforts of the three generations, even Yuwen Chengdu could only avoid the edge temporarily.
Later, when they faced each other again, Zhang Fei restrained Xue Ju. Even if Yuwen Chengdu was defeated by one man, he still showed great power. Not only did he severely injure Xue Rengao, but he also killed two generals, Xue Wang and Xue Renyue.
He and Xue Ju took over the mortal hatred of killing his father and his son.
Because of Xiang Yu's relationship, Zhuge Liang originally wanted to let the Xiang family live, but he could not have the final say in everything in the rebellious army. Xiang Bo and Xiang Sheng died in the decisive battle of Xiapi, and went to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
There is only one Xiang Zhuang left in the Xiang family;
Zhang Fei fought dozens of battles and killed Zhou Yin, Fan Wuqi, Chu Liang, and Hao Yuan successively; even Liu Bei killed Tang Bi himself;
Although Guan Yu fought constantly on the Xuzhou battlefield, either against Luo Shixin or being beaten by Xue Ju and his family, he did not have any outstanding record of killing generals.
However, it was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Guan Yu's surrender. After all, his generals were severely damaged and he was in urgent need of generals to replace them, and Guan Yu, the god of war, was a general he admired very much.
If Guan Yu killed many generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang admired him, he would definitely execute Guan Yu without hesitation.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's generals suffered a lot of losses, Liu Bei also felt uncomfortable. Cao Bao, Zhao Yu, Chen Gui, Mi Fang and other generals were all killed in the battle, and all their troops and horses were lost, leaving less than a hundred men under his command.
Of course, the worst thing was that the Chen family of Chen Gui was the most fierce against Zhu Yuanzhang, and was directly killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Only one Chen Deng was left, who followed Liu Bei and defected to Qin Hao.
Qin Zhi's army also suffered losses, with only 2,000 of its 20,000 troops left, and also lost its general Wu Song.
Wu Song fought with Qiang Zhonglisu for thirty rounds and killed him, but then he was attacked by Zong Luohu and cut off one of his arms. Qin Yi and Yang Zhi on one side were unable to rescue him and watched Wu Song being stabbed to death by a group of soldiers.
.
But then Qin Yi and Yang Zhi teamed up to severely injure Zong Luohu. Qin Yi beheaded Zong Luohu with one shot, which was regarded as revenge for Wu Song.
In addition to Wu Song who died in the battle, Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, Qin Yi and Yang Zhi all suffered injuries to varying degrees. Fortunately, their lives were not worried and they all returned to Luoyang safely.
As for Hebei, before Yuan Shao became Duke, he often fought with Li Jing and Song Jiang.
Three generals, Xiao Tong, Cheng Jingjun and Sun An, died at the hands of Ran Min after he recovered from his injuries;
Ma Xianfan and Wang Sengbian were killed by Jintai successively;
Taishi Ci killed three generals: Chang Yizhi, Pei Sui and Xiao Gang;
Yang Jiren was killed by Liangshan general Lu Junyi;
Yang Jiyi was beaten to death by Dong Ping, Shi Jin, Hu Yanzhuo and other Liangshan generals;
At this point, all Yang family generals who had taken refuge with Yuan Shao were also killed in battle;
Many generals under Yuan Shao died, as did the Qin and Liang coalition forces.
The three generals Song Qing, Song Wan, and Mu Hong in Liangshan were all killed by Tantai Yu, the ancestor of the Silver Spear, and they were so brutally killed that they couldn't escape even if they wanted to;
Lei Heng and Li Jun were killed by sand rolling curtains;
Jie Zhen and Jie Bao died at the hands of Wen Chou;
Even Qin Ming, who was born in the Qin family, died under Yan Liang's sword;
On the Qingzhou battlefield, the Zhao and Qinliang families were completely furious. Yuan Shao saw that the casualties were too heavy, so he rationally chose to retreat in order to prevent Han Fu from benefiting.
This is only the situation in the Central Plains. The level of chaos in Liangzhou is even worse than that in the Central Plains. However, because the Han princes are united in dealing with the outside world, the losses of the Han people are not great, and most of the people who died are Qiang people.
Yelu Guozhen and Yelusha were defeated by Ma in a double battle, but were killed in reverse;
Yeluxin was killed by Yan Xing in ten rounds;
Yeluwan and Yeluhui were killed by Wu Yunzhao one after another;
Yelu Dashi was killed by Shi Wansui;
Yelu Abaoji committed suicide;
Yelu Chucai, Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xiezhen led the remaining troops to join the Yuan-Meng Empire;
