Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

Time flies, and winter is coming to the north in a blink of an eye.

Liu Hong was sitting in the warm room playing games with his concubine, when suddenly the eunuch ran in in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation in Bingzhou and Youzhou!"

Liu Hong looked at the eunuch with some displeasure.

"Read!"

"This year, the north is generally dry. The Wuhuan soldiers are divided into two groups of 50,000 troops each, invading Youzhou and Bingzhou. The Wuhuan Great Chanyu Qiu Liju led his troops to attack Yanmen in Bingzhou! Another group of troops attacked Yuyang in Youzhou!"

Liu Hong nodded lightly and smiled indifferently: "The border of Youzhou is guarded by Liu Yu, I am not worried. Liu Yao is the governor of Bingzhou. Relying on Yanmen Pass, it should not be a problem for him to resist these 50,000 people with his ability. Back off."

Just when Liu Hong wanted to continue playing games with his concubine.

Another eunuch ran in.

"Your Majesty! Bingzhou has urgent military information!"

Liu Hong was a little unhappy: "What's going on! Didn't we just report it? Why is there another urgent military information in Bingzhou!?"

The eunuch quickly lay on the ground, pale and shouted: "Your Majesty! It is indeed an urgent military information! Southern Xiongnu, send 30,000 elite soldiers to Yunzhong!"

"What!? The Southern Xiongnu also harassed at this time? Has there been any war report from the border!?"

Liu Hong stood up in surprise.

The eunuch lying on the ground hurriedly said: "No war report has been received yet."

At this moment, the eunuch outside the door walked into the warm room.

"Your Majesty, General He Jin wants to see you!"

Liu Hong frowned.

"He Jin? What is he doing here?"

"Let him in."

Soon a burly man walked in.

"Your Majesty! Report from the Xiliang front! The Xianbei tribes have been frequently harassing Liangzhou and Bingzhou recently, and there may be an intention to invade!"

"Bingzhou again!?"

Liu Hong sat in his seat with a headache, looking at He Jin with a sense of despair.

"Bingzhou, what's going on there!?"

He Jin looked at Liu Hong with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty! Liu Yao's troops have just arrived in Bingzhou for only two months, and the specific situation is still unknown! This time, the northern tribes did not have enough supplies to survive the winter due to drought, so they rushed to plunder supplies before winter!"

"Bingzhou is sandwiched between Youzhou and Xiliang. Xiliang has Ma Teng and others in charge, and Youzhou has Gongsun Zan and others. These people have long been famous, but Liu Yao has just taken over Bingzhou. The three tribes do not understand Liu Yao's strength, so they treat him as a soft persimmon."

Liu Hong hurriedly asked: "How many troops can the court send!"

He Jin shook his head: "Your Majesty! The treasury has long been empty! Years of drought and plague! We have no troops to send..."

Liu Hong suddenly felt a little dizzy. The eunuch next to him discovered Liu Hong's symptoms and hurried to summon the imperial physician.

"Draft an edict! Notify Liu Yao! If the Xianbei cannot be defeated, the army can temporarily retreat to Shangdang! Seek a chance to fight!"

Liu Hong's voice sounded a little trembling.

He Jin naturally understood what Liu Hong meant.

Shangdang was already the rear base of Bingzhou. Once the main force retreated here, the border would be abandoned across the board and left to be slaughtered by foreign races!

Although He Jin had not experienced much war, he still had the most basic common sense.

The Wuhuan faction was complex. Some people were employed by the Han army for many years, and some lived on nomadism. Their combat effectiveness was slightly lower than that of the Xianbei.

As for the Southern Xiongnu, they had long been beaten up by the Han Dynasty and split into two halves. The Northern Xiongnu fled, leaving only the Southern Xiongnu, who belonged to them. They were already lingering on! If the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not broken out in the Han Dynasty, the treasury was empty, and there was no energy to manage the Southern Xiongnu, they would not have allowed it to grow so strong.

The strongest among them were the Xianbei people. They had the largest territory, a large number of people, and were brave in battle.

With Liu Yao's strength, they had nothing to worry about in dealing with the Wuhuan. With the Southern Xiongnu, it was just a little trouble at most.

But the Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu combined were no match for the Xianbei.

Once the Xianbei began to invade, if Liu Yao could tie with the three parties, Liu Hong would probably die of joy.

Even if he lost the war, as long as he could keep most of the land, Liu Hong could accept it. After all, he knew the strength of the border.

For a while, the entire court was praying that the Xianbei would not invade too deeply and would not threaten Luoyang.

…

At this time, inside Yanmen Pass.

Liu Yao had just led his troops into the city when he found that the commander of the city had run away.

A dignified commander of a city actually abandoned the city and fled without seeing any enemies!

Xu Chu looked at the chaos in the city and couldn't help but curse:

"Even if the three foreign forces invaded!With the natural barrier of Yanmen Pass, we can defend the city! The commander is such a coward! "

At this time, the officials and people in the city were all in a rage after hearing the news of the commander's escape.

Men carried valuables, and women held children and poultry and prepared to escape from the city.

Some soldiers guarding the city took off their armor and mixed in the crowd to escape from the city. After all, the officials ran away, and they would die if they stayed.

"Xu Chu! Close the city gates for me! Search the whole city for deserters and officials! Behead them all!"

"Anyone who dares to leave privately! Kill without mercy!"

Soon, all the city gates were closed. In front of the shining swords, everyone knelt down and begged the government troops to let them leave. The situation suddenly became a mess.

"Listen to me! This general! It was appointed by His Majesty himself! General Zhengbei! Leading Bingzhou Mu! Now officially taking over the defense of Yanmen City! ”

“This is Han territory! It is our duty as Han people to defend our Han city! Anyone who leaves without permission will be killed!”

Several deserters and officials were pushed onto the city wall. The guards raised their long swords and slashed at their heads. The heads fell to the ground and the crowd fell silent in an instant.

“Please, sir! Please protect the city!” Several old men shouted loudly.

Liu Yao raised his hands and shouted, “Before, the commander left his post without permission! Everyone was without a backbone for a while! This general understands! ! You all go home quickly, and the streets are under martial law! I will defend this city to the death! As long as the people are in the city, the city will be there! ”

The people below immediately began to return home spontaneously. During this period, there were indeed a few people who wanted to sneak out, but they were hacked to death by Liu Yao's soldiers. Suddenly, everyone became honest.

Liu Yao went to the main general's mansion. At this time, Ju Su, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and others were studying the city defense map and thinking about how to deploy defenses.

After seeing Liu Yao's figure, Guo Jia introduced:

"My lord, now including the garrison of Yanmen, we have a total of nearly 40,000 garrisons. Facing the 50,000 Wuhuan troops, we have a great advantage in equipment. "

"The fortifications in the city are extremely complete and the water source is sufficient. I think that in this battle, we can kill a large number of Wuhuan and hurt them thoroughly! Let them dare not invade the border for several years!"

Liu Yao sneered: "To be honest with you! This time, I plan to make the Wuhuan people bleed into a river!"

"This is our first battle in Bingzhou! We must win beautifully! ”
