Chapter 569 Sweep away Chongzhi and restore Youzhou!
Yuan Jun's flag fell and was never put up again.
And cheers representing the victory of the Han army gradually sounded on the battlefield.
All the Han troops cheered, and all Yuan Shao's soldiers either died in the battle or knelt on the ground begging for mercy. This huge battle ended with Liu Bei's victory, and Yuan Shao was already on the road to death.
The Yuan family's rebel group has been completely wiped out, and the last member of the Runan Yuan family has died here. There will no longer be a family named Runan Yuan family in this world.
This was the first feudal family to be physically exterminated since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This incident not only proved the determination of the Han Empire to suppress the rebellion, but also proved that the Fuyue family was not invincible.
Facing the will of the empire, one Yue family is obviously not enough to fight.
The last small shock that this battle brought to Liu Bei was when Yuan Shao's body broken into five pieces was placed in front of him.
The people who fought to get Yuan Shao's body were Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Shi Huan, and Zhang He.
According to the explanations of the five people, when Yuan Shao was surrounded and killed in the end, the scene went crazy.
Zhang He rushed forward and attacked Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao swung his sword, but Zhang He dodged it. He turned around and struck Yuan Shao to death with his sword, but unexpectedly Yuan Shao twisted his body and only cut off Yuan Shao's right arm.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Huan rushed forward and prepared to stab Yuan Shao to death. The spear pierced Yuan Shao's body, but Yuan Shao, who was in a bloody rage, grabbed the spear with his left hand. Shi Huan dropped the spear, pulled out his saber, and slashed him with his sword.
In the past, Yuan Shao twisted his body again and his left arm was cut off.
At this moment, Zhao Yun galloped towards him, and Yuan Shao could no longer dodge. He watched Zhao Yun swing his sword with a cold light and cut off Yuan Shao's head with one strike.
When they saw that Yuan Shao had been killed, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, who had not arrived in time, became angry. They roared and stepped forward. One stabbed Yuan Shao's headless body with a knife, and the other used a spear to knock down Yuan Shao's body.
horse.
Then the two of them turned over and dismounted, grabbed Yuan Shao's broken body and stared at each other angrily. They roared together and tried their best to seize Yuan Shao's body.
Seeing the battle for the leader, the soldiers around them also swarmed up, and everyone worked together, and finally tore Yuan Shao's broken body into two halves.
So the situation became that one of the five generals got a part of Yuan Shao's body, giving Yuan Shao an ending without a complete body.
In response, they felt very speechless after calming down.
What does it mean if a promise is broken into five pieces?
Liu Bei had not promised ten thousand marquises like Liu Bang before. If Xiang Yu's body was broken into five pieces, five people could be granted the title of marquis. If Yuan Shao's body was broken into five pieces, could one promise be turned into five promises?
So this matter is rather embarrassing.
Fortunately, Liu Bei also had a backup plan.
"Back then, Emperor Gaozu promised that the person who killed Xiang Yu would be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Later, the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households was divided among five people. The current situation is quite similar to that of the past. Of course, Yuan Shao's identity cannot be compared with Xiang Yu, so he simply became
It’s a city for five thousand households, one thousand households per person, what do you think?”
Liu Bei proposed this plan. The five generals looked at each other and had nothing to say. Anyway, a thousand households with food is considered a big reward. Let alone Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Shi Huan all
They have no title yet, so such a reward makes them very happy.
Thus the issue of rewards was solved.
Lu Bu was originally a county magistrate, with an additional 1,000 households.
Zhang Fei was promoted to the title of Marquis of Gu'an County, and was granted an additional 1,000 households.
Zhao Yun, Shi Huan, and Zhang He were all ennobled and ennobled, and were granted the title of Duxiang Marquis, with a settlement of 1,000 households.
Other people who worked hard in this battle also received certain commendations, and obtained rewards that satisfied them. The only one who was not very happy was Dong Zhuo, because he failed to grab Yuan Shao's body, and he also failed to monopolize Liu Bei.
Promise of.
It seems that he can only expect his good son Lu Bu to say a few good words for him.
The annihilation of Yuan Shao's entire army means that the first stage of this conquest has been completed. Next is the second stage - wiping out the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people and all the barbarians and Han robbers who took advantage of the situation in Youzhou.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will not be spared and will be killed, regardless of whether they are Han Chinese or not.
As a result, Zhuoxian City, which Gongsun Zan defended, was out of crisis, and the people in the city were able to survive. More than 100,000 people, including members of the Lu family and Liu family, were able to survive.
Gongsun Zan knew that he could not escape his guilt, so he followed Lian Po's example and chose to plead guilty by carrying a thorn bush. He took off his shirt and came to Liu Bei's camp in the cold weather to plead guilty to him.
Liu Bei had nothing to say to Gongsun Zan and did not want to see him. He betrayed his trust, violated orders and violated official taboos. If he was not dealt with, he would have no way to explain to the Youzhou and Luoyang courts.
So Liu Bei did not see him, but ordered him to be dismissed from his post, put in a prison car and sent back to Luoyang, where he was handed over to the emperor for interrogation and let the Third Division of Luoyang decide his guilt. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not participate.
Gongsun Zan was very surprised. He thought Liu Bei would at least meet him once, say something to him, or comfort him.
But no, Liu Bei sent him away without even seeing him, which made him feel very uneasy.
Could it be that I can’t pass this level on my own?
He shouted loudly that he wanted to see Liu Bei and begged Liu Bei to see him, but no one responded to him. The guards swarmed up, put shackles on him, put him in a prison car, and took him to Luoyang for trial.
During the whole process, Liu Bei did not show up, and no one familiar with Gongsun Zan showed up, as if everyone had acquiesced that they did not know this guy.
After Liu Bei learned that Gongsun Zan had been taken away, he sighed and shook his head.
"If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live."
After watching Gongsun Zan's escort convoy go away, Liu Bei dealt with the mess left by Gongsun Zan in Zhuoxian City. At the same time, he let the army rest for three days and inquired about the current specific situation.
Three days later, based on the information he compiled, it was basically certain that most of Youzhou had entered a state of anarchy.
In addition to Shanggu County and Dai County, there are also prefects in office. The five prefects of Zhuo County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County all died in the battle. General Huan Zhonglang who was protecting Wu died in the battle. Officials at all levels below the county level
There were heavy casualties, and some fled without a trace, but few stayed at their posts and worked hard to defend the city without being breached.
He was not very clear about the news further west. The message transmission was not usual. He had previously learned that Liaodong Governor Gongsun Du was still resisting. He did not know whether it was out of date now.
So Liu Bei, full of anger, officially launched his troops to the east on December 23, the sixth year of Zhongping.
"Everyone! Follow me to sweep away the insects and restore Youzhou!"
Liu Bei gave an order, and the whole army cheered and responded in large numbers.
This time he divided his troops into three groups, letting Zhang Fei, the general of the Tiger Cavalry, and Pang De, the general of the Heroic Cavalry, lead the Tiger Cavalry respectively. The Knights of the Cavalry were the left and right armies, and he personally led the other troops as the middle army.
Three routes marched into Guangyang County.
In order to advance quickly, Liu Bei did not bring infantry, but all the cavalry of his headquarters, as well as Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's two cavalrymen, a total of 18,000 people to form the middle route army.
All infantry troops were left behind, led by Xu Huang and others, who were responsible for stabilizing the place, transporting some grain, and then taking care of and dealing with a large number of prisoners and refugees who had lost their homes due to the war to prevent them from causing trouble.
At the same time, Liu Bei entrusted a family alliance, mainly the Zhen family in Jizhou, to help him provide a batch of food from Jizhou to Youzhou to prevent the refugees from Youzhou from causing trouble due to hunger.
He himself chose to march towards Liaodong in the form of war to support war, and further carried out the Northern Expedition, achieving all his achievements in one battle.
Because the main forces of Suli and Mika have been defeated, the Xianbei people who are still scattered in the vast land of Youzhou are mostly old and weak, family members of the army, and their grazing livestock, etc. After the main force is eliminated, these people will naturally
It cannot compete with the Han army's front.
On December 25, the sixth year of Zhongping, Zhang Fei led his army to defeat more than 30,000 Xianbei people living in Xianbei Military Capital County, and captured more than 25,000 prisoners. On the same day, in Anci County, Pang De led
The army defeated a group of Xianbei people staying there and captured 15,000 prisoners.
On December 26, Liu Bei regained Jixian, defeated and captured more than 50,000 Xianbei tribesmen who had stayed here, and seized hundreds of thousands of livestock. He rescued more than 100,000 people. The results of the war were
Very big.
On December 28, Zhang Fei defeated the Xianbei people in Yuyang County, captured more than 20,000 people, seized a large number of livestock, and rescued more than 50,000 people.
On the same day, Liu Bei defeated the Xianbei people in Lu County, captured more than 10,000 people, and rescued more than 20,000 civilians.
On December 29, Pang De defeated more than 10,000 Xianbei troops near Yongnu County and captured a large number of them. On the way to Youbeiping County, Pound encountered a Wuhuan sentry cavalry, defeated them, and sent some troops.
Tell Liu Bei the news.
On December 30, Lu Bu, the vanguard of Liu Bei's army, arrived at Wuzhong County, Youbeiping County, where he defeated and captured more than 50,000 Xianbei people, winning a great victory.
In the past few days, the three Han armies not only wiped out the Xianbei people, but also encountered some strong bandits and powerful armed men who came in groups to rob homes and homes.
Naturally, the rabbits were killed by raking the grass and beating them.
