Three Kingdoms

Near Zhao Yun's camp in Yuyang, the corpses of Cao Jun can be seen everywhere. They are lying on the ground in a mess, with scarlet blood splattered everywhere. The remaining flags, weapons, and even limbs along the way are scattered here and there. A piece, submerged under the horse's hooves.

Inside the original Zhao Yun camp, corpses were piled up. Those who were burned to death, those who were choked to death, and those who were killed were piled up layer by layer. Cao Jun who couldn't get out was like ants on a hot pot, pushing and trampling each other, and there were all kinds of death signs.

Cao Jun was defeated!

Under Zhao Yun and Gan Feng's surprise attack, coupled with the fire in Zhao Yun's camp, the combined effect of the two was far more than just one plus one.

If they just set a fire, under the orders of Xia Houyuan and the Cao family veterans, even the Cao family's new soldiers will slowly obey the deployment, either put out the fire or evacuate. If only Zhao Yun and Ganfeng were to attack, Xia Houyuan might be able to set up a formation based on the camp's limited defense...

But when the two came together, Xia Houyuan was completely unable to pay. Because of the fire, there was no way to establish a complete formation to face Zhao Yun Ganfeng. And because Zhao Yun Ganfeng arrived in an instant, there was naturally no way to put out the flames, so he only There was only one result left, a complete defeat.

Not all of Xia Houyuan's troops were cavalry, only a small half, and nearly two-thirds of the remaining troops were infantry. The only way for infantry to fight against cavalry was to form an array. Without an array, the infantry would have no effect in front of the cavalry. Without any backhand strength, he was directly overwhelmed, impacted, and defeated all the way!

In addition, Xia Houyuan himself has some self-awareness about Zhao Yun. If his men and horses are all in order, Xia Houyuan still has some confidence to give Zhao Yun a try, but now it is obvious that arrays are not arrays, formations are not formations, terrain is not terrain, and fortifications are not. Fortifications, if you still stay in the camp, you will really be dead.

The closer they got to Yuyang, the hussars and horses began to roll towards both sides, like ocean waves, swallowing up the fleeing Cao Jun in waves. Cao's army has basically lost the ability to resist. They either bury their heads and run away with their tails stuck out, or they can only withstand the impact of the cavalry. Even those Cao soldiers who knelt down and surrendered were directly hit because they could not hold their horses. , stepped into the soil!

Xia Houyuan, with his direct cavalry, did not dare to enter the city directly from the west of the city. Instead, he bypassed the city and ran towards the east gate.

Fortunately, I'm not stupid enough to be an idiot...

If you enter directly from the west gate, there will be no buffer time, but if you take the east gate, the huge city can act as a certain barrier and provide some defensive protection for Xia Houyuan. At least Xia Houyuan can walk close to the city wall, and Zhao Yun, Ganfeng and others cannot.

Cao Chun, who was on top of the city, put down some of his thoughts and at the same time, he also became a little angry.

Seeing Cao's soldiers under the city abandoning their armor and being chased away like pigs and dogs, even the other Cao soldiers who were in no danger for the time being above the city would inevitably lose their morale and feel sad. Except for those guys with horses, most of the infantry without horses died or surrendered, and not even one-tenth of them could keep up with Xia Houyuan and others!

All of this was caused by this damn Xia Houyuan!

Everyone in Cao's army was originally proud, and they also had the capital to be proud.

After all, not everyone can kill Yuan Shu in the south, Yuan Shao in the north, and defeat a bunch of losers in Qingzhou and Xuzhou...

In history, Cao Cao's group of generals had the self-confidence of others, and it was not without purpose to despise other generals. But now, such self-confidence was shattered in front of the hussar generals.

Cao's army, which combines infantry and cavalry, can always find some advantages when fighting against soldiers in other areas. However, when fighting against the hussar generals, their equipment, force, mobility, and reconnaissance capabilities are suppressed. Suppressed, even IQ has been suppressed...

Damn Xia Houyuan!

This damn General Baidi!

That's right, Cao Chun didn't think that it was his mistake to agree to Xia Houyuan's sending troops, but that he made the decision under Xia Houyuan's pressure, and Xia Houyuan would naturally bear the consequences of such a defeat!

The Cao family and the Xiahou family are indeed as close as brothers, but like most brothers, they can stand side by side when facing foreign enemies, but once there is a dispute over interests, it is difficult to mix together.

The most fundamental reason is because of Cao Cao himself.

Cao Cao was originally the Xiahou family and passed to the Cao family. Of course, this kind of thing was normal in the Han Dynasty, but now it is not the Xiahou family that takes off, but the Cao family. So will the Xiahou family give rise to some "it was me first" people? What about ideas? Even if the Xiahou family didn't say anything, would anyone in the Cao family think that the Xiahou family might have some ideas?

Especially when the benefits are getting bigger and bigger, and there is more and more fertilizer and water, if you tilt it a little bit, the difference will be huge. Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun were close, but that does not mean that all Cao family members and Xiahou family members were close...

Disputes between each other have become very common. After all, brothers often fight from childhood to adulthood, not to mention the Cao family and Xiahou family who are just "close as brothers".

"Send the order!" The east gate is half open! After General Xiahou entered the city, he quickly closed the city gate! ” Cao Chun ordered.

Cao Chun didn't like Xia Houyuan, but he wanted to save Xia Houyuan. Cao Chun even knew that even if he saved Xia Houyuan, he might not be able to get Xia Houyuan's gratitude...

Otherwise, Xia Houyuan would not be called General Baidi.

Horse hooves formed in formation below the city, and wailing was everywhere. Cao Chun stood at the head of Yuyang City, looking at the soldiers of Cao's army who were killed and captured under the city. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his energy and strength had been completely exhausted, and he felt empty in his heart. , nothing, nothing can be remembered.

This battle, yes, was barely won, but it was no different from losing.

Zhao Yun and others burned the camp, which naturally means that Zhao Yun and others are indeed unwilling to stay for a long time and have indeed retreated. From this point of view, holding Yuyang will naturally be considered a victory for Cao Chun's original goal. .

However, in all other aspects, I lost...

The hussars who were lagging behind jumped off their horses, either to rescue their injured companions during the pursuit, or to tie aside the surrendered Cao soldiers. It seemed that everyone did it naturally, smoothly, and completely scattered. It was like there was no defense, but Cao Chun knew that if he really opened the city gate and attacked, these guys would immediately jump on their horses and form a powerful battle array in the blink of an eye.

Horse!

Could it be that he is really Cao's natural nemesis?

Cao Chun sighed.

Near Zhao Yun's camp, the raging fire showed no signs of burning out and was still raging. On the ground, a Cao family's flag was half licked by the flames, leaving a small black half on the ground. Then a leather boot stepped on it and stood still.

"I wanted to hunt a quail, but a monkey came..." Sima Yi smiled and said, "What, what, what..."

Zhao Yun looked at Gan Feng who was still acting wild in the distance, and nodded, "Sima Ke is the first to take the lead in today's battle. He will report it to the lord and get his own reward..."

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, general!" 』

Zhao Yun smiled, nodded slightly, and ordered: "pass the order, no prisoners are to be killed, and all the wounded and captured soldiers will be placed under the city later..."

Sima Yi touched his palms and smiled, "Wonderful!" That's right! Haha, someone is also having fun..."

Obviously, if you want to retreat, it will be a burden to carry these Cao troops with you, so it is better to leave them to Cao Chun. Cao Chun had to accept it again. If he didn't accept it, he would lose morale. If he accepted it, it would be better, but it would also lose morale. After all, if he encounters a hussar and surrenders, he can survive, so he won't think of fighting to the death.

"It's up to you..." Zhao Yun waved his hand, then got on his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, send the order, withdraw the troops!" 』

Seeing the hussars pushing a long list of prisoners and wounded of Cao's army to the city, Cao Chun was a little nervous. Just when he was wondering if Zhao Yun was going to use these Cao's troops as shields and consume the city's arrows, wood, etc., he heard something from the city. The knights and horses shouted in unison: "It's called a tiger and leopard, but it's actually like a rat!" Rats have skin, but humans have no manners! If a person has no manners, what is the point of not dying? 』

Cao Chun felt dizzy and almost fell off the wall...

No matter what, it is Cao Chun's dream to ride dragons, tigers and leopards, uh, tigers and leopards across the battlefield, galloping and fighting. As a dream, it is naturally gorgeous and beautiful and cannot be tarnished. If it is insulted, it will definitely Feeling angry and hurt.

At least when Cao Cao raised his troops, the general situation in the world was like turbulent waves. Especially after the Jujube Alliance, Cao Cao really gave many people the feeling that he was destined by fate. The Han Dynasty was already weak and dying, and only Cao Cao stepped forward to fight against the enemy. Struggling forward, overcoming obstacles, as for Fei Qian at that time...

Who is that?

Who would have thought that flowers could still grow in the barren places of the North?

The result has now taken a turn for the worse. The Cao family has been defeated in consecutive battles. In the subsequent disputes in the court, many problems have been revealed. Now under the Yuyang, the situation is even more serious. Ordinary soldiers fear the hussars and horses as much as they fear the ferocious beasts. , a slightly fiercer and more brutal battle, there will always be more people running away than resisting...

Like a boxer, he insists on his dream, works hard, and overcomes all difficulties to get into the boxing ring. He is confident that if he beats one, he can beat the next one, but it turns out that the new opponent is not on the same level at all.

What are you fighting for?

All dreams have become empty talk.

Of course, everyone knows that there is actually not that much difference between people. If they really fight for their lives, they can drag some of the hussars to death together. In any case, when the bloodiness comes to the fore, they can burst out. The power is also amazing, but the problem is that when it expands to the entire Cao family's army, once there is a problem in one place, the fear will snowball and get bigger and bigger. Everyone is thinking, "We can't win anyway. I No matter how hard we try, if others don't try their best, not only will they die, but they will die in vain." So it is not surprising that the current situation appears.

In fact, if you look closely at the territory map of the Han Dynasty, you will find that this phenomenon is not surprising at all. The closer you are to the center of the Han Dynasty, such as Sili, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, the smaller the scope of counties and counties. It is common that if you are more than ten miles away, you will be the boundary of another county. You belong to this county, I It's from that county...

But in marginal counties, a county is often hundreds or even hundreds of miles away. Regardless of the county, you and I are all Han Chinese. Therefore, the closer people are to the border, the more they understand that unity is needed to resist foreign enemies, while the closer they are to the center, the more accustomed they are to separation...

When Fei Qian and Cao Cao started to confront each other, many of the soldiers in Bingzhou and Liangzhou were still a little afraid. After all, their mindsets over the years were still there. Even when these soldiers in Bingzhou and Liangzhou were young, they were envious of them. Han people from Sili.

Even a little scared.

Yes, fear.

After all, many people in Bingzhou Liangzhou were born in a place where Hu and Han were mixed. In other words, the area in the center of the Han Dynasty was like a magic city, while Bingzhou Liangzhou and other places were like country bumpkins.

The country bumpkins had nothing to eat or drink, their clothes were similar to those of the barbarians, and they didn't even know a few words. All this made them feel inferior, and then they developed fear from their inferiority.

Before Feiqian's three-color flag was erected under the city of Xu County, under the consistent oppressive policy of the Central Court of the Han Dynasty, they would have even thought that those in Jizhou and Yuzhou would be very powerful and difficult to fight, at least certainly better than those barbarians. It’s quite difficult...

However, after Xu County, when the hussar general Fei Qian led them to Yuzhou and displayed them under Xu County, this idea really took a turn for the worse.

Under the cavalry, they fought front and back, fighting the Qiang and Xianbei, fighting the northern Xinjiang and fighting the southern Xinjiang. There were more people and more battles, and the field of vision naturally broadened. When Zhao Yun and Sima Yi faced Yuyang again When Cao Jun was in the army, the whole momentum was completely different. Of course, they also knew that it would still be a little difficult to capture all Jizhou and Yuzhou in one go. After all, the current climate was really abnormal, but with some thoughts, they finally decided at this moment. Starting to sprout and brew...

What was once a powerful place in my mind may now be nothing.

The one who is truly powerful should still be the tricolor flag and himself!

"Wan Sheng!" Won victory! 』

The knights and horses shouted, then drifted away.

This time, everyone knew that these horsemen and horses had really left Yuyang and evacuated the battlefield, but no matter who they were in Yuyang, they had no idea of ​​chasing them.

Those who retreated cheered in victory, but those who stayed in Yuyang seemed to have lost something...

Who is Tiger Leopard?

Who is the Rat again?

……o((⊙﹏⊙))o.……

Guanzhong.

early morning.

Li Yuan staggered to his own village.

Li Yuan can be said to be the first group of Guanzhong gentry to defect to Feiqian.

Bingzhou has a circle of Bingzhou, and Guanzhong naturally has a circle of Guanzhong. In each circle, this kind of communication within a small group is still the main source of information in this era. Of course, among these circles, there are also some primary and secondary Li Yuan is undoubtedly the one who has some weight in the Guanzhong circle, but is not in an important position.

In the cold weather of spring, all the nobles who have fields outside will naturally be a little worried. Except for some very few prodigal sons who don't care about anything and only think about spending money, most of the nobles' children, especially the heads of the family, Everyone will be very worried about such weather, but there are still many people who are lucky and hope that this weather is just a temporary abnormality and will soon return to normal weather.

The steward of the manor had already greeted Li Yuan outside in disguise.

Many nobles don't know how to farm, so most of them will, like Li Yuan, choose a steward to manage the village for them, just like hiring a general manager of a company in later generations to be responsible for the internal and external affairs of the manor. Of course, measuring the overall management of the manor The quality of a manager is naturally determined by the amount of rent paid each year.

So at the moment, the manager of the manor felt somewhat uneasy.

At present, many of the Zhuanghe planted inside and outside Zhuangzi have been frozen to death. These frozen Zhuanghe are basically equivalent to being wasted. They can't even hear a sound. They can only be buried in the soil and barely regarded as Green fertilizer, the loss is naturally not small.

Fortunately, this kind of loss was not caused by the mistake of the manor manager, nor was it just Li Yuan's family. Many surrounding villages also suffered from the same thing, so the manor manager could have the courage to stand in front of Li Yuan, otherwise he would have fallen to his knees long ago. He desperately begged for mercy on the ground.

After entering Zhuangzi, Li Yuan walked around in a circle, frowned and said, "How about Zhuangzi next door?" 』

"Reporting to my lord, the three surrounding villages are different, but for now, they are all damaged to some extent..." The manor manager nodded and bowed, following closely behind Li Yuan as he explained.

Li Yuan walked to the field, stretched out his hand to pull up a Zhuang He, and looked at the green seedlings that had been frozen to the point of rotting roots. Even though he didn't know much about farming, he knew that there was nothing obvious about such seedlings. changes, but is effectively dead and will soon all rot away.

"Why isn't there a brazier set up?" Li Yuan said, "Didn't Hussar say that he could use the technique of a scaffolding with a brazier inside to resist the frost and cold?" 』

"This... Sir..." The steward lowered his head, "Originally there were enough manpower in the village, but General Hussar ordered some to be transferred... so we were overwhelmed... In addition, even if there is a brazier stand, In the shed, in fact... it is inevitable in this kind of weather... Moreover, it costs a lot to build a shed and burn coal every day... The Hussars general has many hands and can do it quickly... But what about the village? , just these people... Nowadays, everyone is busy. Do they need to hurry up to build it? Naturally, the price will increase... If it is halfway built, and then the weather gets better, should the shed be kept or demolished... Keep it It’s useless, and it’s just covered up and demolished. It’s really all wasted..."

It is difficult for Li Yuan to answer such questions.

The manor steward quickly raised his eyes to look at Li Yuan's expression, then lowered his head and said, "Actually, all the surrounding villages have this idea... Besides, my lord, actually, in this time, ahem... speaking of it... it's the same..." That’s a good thing...』
