Liu Xin laughed and said: "Mengde, when you sent troops to Xuzhou, how many innocent lives were lost under your butcher knife? You used to attack Xiangyang, and now you attack Shouchun, how many people were killed by you? If your
If the butcher's knife is pointed at me or my army, then I have nothing to say. Now, just wait for the trial with peace of mind. Rest assured, I will give you a fair treatment!"
If you are someone like Sun Ce or Ma Chao who has not yet had time to develop ambitions, or someone who is loyal to the Han Dynasty like Xun and Xun You, or someone like Guan Yu who will sell his life to you if you treat him well enough, Liu
Xin could still consider keeping him. But Cao Cao himself had aspirations and ambitions, and he once had the power to decide life and death. Can Liu Xin rest assured about such a person?
This is just like Liu Bei back then. Even if he didn't hold great power and was just more ambitious, Liu Xin couldn't find much fault with him and would use tricks to kill him. What's more, Cao Cao just massacred the people of Xuzhou.
, he could be sentenced to death, how could Liu Xin let him go?
Cao Cao was speechless by Liu Xin's words and bowed his head in silence.
When they arrived at the Xiyang County Government Office, Liu Xin immediately sent people to build four prison cars, put Cao Cao, Xun, Xia Hou, and Xia Houyuan in heavy shackles, handcuffed and leg irons, and entered the prison cars. He also sent out a signal to summon the scattered personal guards and soldiers.
Cavalry of the fifth legion.
When the troops were assembled, Liu Xin ordered: "When evil comes, you lead five thousand personal guards to escort them to Chang'an and put them in a prison."
Dian Wei asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, won't you return to Chang'an with the last general?"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "The Han Dynasty will be unified in this battle. I want to go to Yecheng in person."
Dian Wei suddenly raised his hands and said: "The general has the duty of protecting His Majesty, how can he leave lightly? Escorting prisoners of war is just a trivial matter, just leave it to them."
In fact, Dian Wei also knew that escorting Cao Cao and others was no small matter and could not be missed, but he hoped to have the opportunity to fight in battle, so he couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong, which meant that Huang Zhong was the most suitable escort candidate.
.
How could Liu Xin not know about his Xiao Jiujiu? He couldn't help laughing and said: "Evil, this matter is of great importance. I am really worried about leaving it to others. Let's do this. I will give you a decree. After you return to Chang'an, you will take care of them."
You can be sent to the prison and you can come back to me at any time and continue your guarding work. How about that?"
After all the words had been said, Dian Wei had no excuse and could only lead his troops to Chang'an angrily. Watching their figures gradually retreating, a smile appeared on Liu Xin's lips. What were the thoughts of these generals?
Xin Tai understands that no one wants to make contributions. Unfortunately, their vision is limited to the territory of the Han Dynasty. They only think that after this battle, the Han Dynasty will be unified, and there will be no more wars in the future, so there will be no place for them to use it. But they don’t know that Liu Xin’s influence on
He attaches great importance to "the barrel of a gun" and will not relax his arms at any time. Not to mention, when the world is at peace, he will send troops to Guishuang. The "King of Sex" whose name Liu Xin can't remember actually will
The idea hit his woman, how could Liu Xin not teach him a lesson?
At this time, Zhao Yun, who was far away in Mobei Grassland, also received Liu Xin's order. It was a bit troublesome to deliver this order. First, the order had to be conveyed to Liangzhou via flying pigeons, and then sent to the new grassland city by meteor horse.
When he came down, he switched to the falcon and sent the order to the front of the army.
When receiving the order, Zhao Yun only had 20,000 cavalry at his side.
After he completely annihilated the two tribes of Kuitou and Budugen, he captured countless prisoners and captured trophies. If he continued to march with these people and materials, it would not only affect the marching speed, but also the target would be too big.
.Zhao Yun only had 10,000 cavalry to escort the prisoners and supplies to the new city on the prairie.
Although he had not received any new orders at that time, Zhao Yun also understood that after successively removing the camps of the four major tribes: Jianman, Fuluohan, Kuitou and Budugen, the entire Xianbei clan was no longer a concern. He was completely
You can go back to the Central Plains.
However, Liu Xin's original order was to sweep all the tribes on the grassland, so Zhao Yun must continue to kill on the grassland. Now, except for Xianbei in Liaodong, there are only a few small tribes left on the grassland. It does not take 40,000 to deal with these tribes.
Zhao Yun had elite cavalry, so Zhao Yun divided his troops into two groups. One group was led by Ma Chao and continued eastward to search for the grassland tribes to eliminate them, while the other group was led by him personally to go south.
When Zhao Yun was still more than fifty miles away from Danhan Mountain, an eagle descended from the sky and landed on his shoulder, bringing Liu Xin's order. Zhao Yun thought about it and decided not to notify Ma Chao and let him take the lead.
The soldiers continued to sweep Mobei, while he led the troops to kill Bentanhan Mountain.
Danhan Mountain is where the leader gathers his tribesmen. Zhao Yun already knew this from the captured Xianbei herdsmen. He went to Danhan Mountain because he wanted to follow the Xianbei people's path to the Central Plains and surprise their rear army. Who knew
, before his army reached Danhan Mountain, he saw a group of cavalry approaching.
It turned out that there were still 20,000 Xianbei warriors in Danhan Mountain. These people came from some of the most remote tribes, so they arrived the latest. However, the leader's actions in Taiyuan were repeatedly frustrated, so he had an extra thought to let these late arrivals
The Xianbei warriors camped at the foot of Danhan Mountain and waited. Although 20,000 people were not many, they consumed a lot of horse chews every day. These people are not like Kuitou and others in Taiyuan. They have high-ranking officials to provide food and grass, and they bring cattle
The sheep were eaten up quickly, and there was not much green grass left near Danhan Mountain. Fortunately, the living conditions on the grassland were harsh, and this situation often happened. As long as the horses could eat grass, they would not suffer.
Hungry.
This group of cavalry brought their horses out to graze. As long as the horses were full, they could drink mare's milk, plus some wild fruits picked from Danhan Mountain and some wild animals hunted.
Food can barely fill the belly.
Unfortunately, they encountered the Han cavalry as soon as they came out. Of course, Zhao Yun would not let go of the meat that was brought to his mouth. With an order, the Han cavalry rushed over.
This group of Xianbei cavalry numbered about three thousand. When they saw another group of cavalry rushing towards them, they couldn't help but feel a little confused. After all, this is the Mobei grassland. If they were killed, they would not expect that the Han people would appear behind them, and
The Han cavalry of the Sixth Army lived on the grassland all year round. They did not prepare flags, and their armor was different from other Han cavalry, closer to the attire of the grassland tribes. Therefore, they only regarded the other party as a companion who had just arrived from somewhere.
The Han cavalry moved very fast, and they were only three hundred steps away from them in the blink of an eye. The sky suddenly darkened, and countless arrows shot over like raindrops. The unsuspecting Xianbei warriors fell off their horses one after another. Until this moment
, they realized that it was not one of their own who came, but an enemy.
The Xianbei warriors relied on their proficiency in riding and shooting. Although they encountered a sudden blow, they did not flinch. Instead, they shouted strangely and rushed forward. They also knew that the range of their own bows and arrows was not as good as their opponents, so they tried to shorten the distance between the two sides. Three
For a galloping war horse, a hundred paces is really a blink of an eye.
However, the crossbows of the Han cavalry were too sharp. Each side rushed forward a hundred steps, and the Han people had already fired three waves of arrows. Many Xianbei warriors fell in the dust. Only less than five of the 3,000-man team remained.
One hundred people.
These Xianbei warriors had not participated in the battle in Taiyuan, and of course they did not know the power of the Han army's bows and arrows. It was not until they saw their companions falling down one after another that they panicked and turned around. But how could Zhao Yun let them go safely?
He left and rode in hot pursuit. Now the two sides were a hundred paces apart and within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow. They were just escaping and chasing each other. They were riding and shooting at the same time, but the effects were completely different.
There was a lookout post set up by the Xianbei people on the top of Danhan Mountain. They had already discovered that something was wrong here, and quickly warned the people down the mountain. The Xianbei warriors who stayed in the camp gathered in a chaotic manner, and 17,000 cavalry were killed together.
Run here.
There were fewer and fewer Xianbei cavalry who were desperately fleeing. Under the continuous attacks of bows and arrows from the Han army, only a few people were still alive. However, those who could survive were all warriors with superb martial arts skills from the Xianbei tribe.
These warriors were galloping on their horses, and they had to use various difficult movements from time to time to avoid the rain of arrows from the Han army. Suddenly they saw a large group of people appearing in front of them. The momentum of thousands of horses galloping was unimaginable.
In this case, if they collide, they will soon be swept into the rolling torrent and turned into a pile of pulp.
Since they were warriors on the grassland, their riding skills were naturally more sophisticated. After they saw clearly that the people coming across from them were their own people, they immediately turned their horses and rushed towards the Han army in the opposite direction. In fact, they were sandwiched between two galloping cavalry teams.
Their destruction was inevitable, they just did not want to kill each other with their companions.
As these Xianbei warriors charged, they began to show off their archery skills. Some had three arrows in a row, some had five arrows in a row, and some had seven arrows in a row. However, the Han cavalry had very good armor, and casualties were extremely limited.
There were only more than twenty steps left between the two sides. The Xianbei warriors abandoned their bows and arrows, drew out their scimitars, and prepared for the final fight. Close combat was the specialty of the Han cavalry equipped with stirrups and sabers, but
The young soldiers of the Sixth Legion did not draw their sabers, but instead drew the short-throwing spears on their backs.
This was another trump card of the cavalry of the Sixth Army. After a shrill roar, the few remaining Xianbei warriors fell into a pool of blood. They could dodge the bows and arrows, but they could not dodge the short-throwing spears. Both sides
The distance was too close, and the Han cavalry used the speed of the horses to throw the spears fast and fast, and the force was even more amazing. Even if these Xianbei warriors hid themselves, their horses were not spared, and some even killed people.
The horse was nailed to the ground.
The Han cavalry did not stop at all, but roared past the corpses of the Xianbei warriors, leaving a puddle of meat on the grassland.
