Three Kingdoms

When Yu Zhutan was attacked by Cao Chun, Su Li and Mo Huba couldn't see it, but they heard it.

Heavy snow fell and the cold wind howled. Naturally, it was impossible to stay on the mountain ridge to blow the wind. Therefore, various troops were scattered in the ravines of Yanshan Mountain as a temporary shelter from the wind and snow.

When Cao Jun came, these barbarians were preoccupied with how to quickly pass through Gubeikou, driving the captured people to dig a road through the mountain. They didn't have much thought at all, or they didn't even think that Cao Jun would come.

Both of them climbed to the top of the hill at this time, watching the snowflakes falling in the dark and chaotic sky, listening to the thunderous sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the sounds of killing one after another coming from the distance.

These sounds were so powerful that even the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble slightly.

The captured Youzhou people in the surrounding area also gradually became restless under these noises. Even if the barbarian soldiers continued to suppress them, they could not control the situation.

"Yu Zhutan sent people to ask for help..." Su Li whispered, "What do you think?" 』

Mo Huba whispered: "It seems that this Han man from Cao Jun is trying his best... What is this called?" By the way, the soldier called Sadness has greater power... Yu Zhutan is not of the same mind as us, so there is no benefit in saving him..."

"But if the Han people drive them towards us..." Su Li frowned slightly and said, "We still have many people who haven't been able to get over..."

Mo Huba nodded, "We can send someone over to tell Yu Zhutan and ask him to persist... As far as I know, the Han people with the surname Cao don't have many troops. As long as Yu Zhutan can block them for a while, their energy will be exhausted..."

Suli pondered.

In fact, it doesn't mean that Su Li is really unwilling to support Yu Zhutan. If he could immediately lead people to outflank Cao Chun and swallow him in one breath, Su Li would do it even if he said nothing. Because of the congestion at Gubeikou, the tribes were scattered widely. Each tribe, large and small, brought their own mules and horses to drive them, one here and one there. It was not easy to get them together at once.

Suli, the great chanyu, is only in name. He cannot be compared with the king of the desert back then. Therefore, Suli's binding force on the leaders of the small tribes under him is not very strong. Most of the time, he can only act like a king. It is a joint chief who commands the various small tribes, and it fails to achieve a high degree of centralization with orders and prohibitions. Especially in the current situation of being scattered everywhere, it is very troublesome.

It's like Suli's binding force on Mo Huba, but it's actually just like that...

While Su Li was still considering whether to support Yu Zhutan, Yu Zhutan actually couldn't hold on any longer.

Cao Jun's cavalry broke through frontally and spread out on both sides. Although the formation was not neat, it was majestic. Coupled with Cao Jun's follow-up infantry, and the bonus of wind and snow, it gave Yu Zhutan and others the feeling of being attacked. Facing an attack from tens of thousands of people!

Among the central cavalry formation, Cao Chun led his men and horses to the front line, seeming to vent all the pressure and depression he suffered from Zhao Yun on Yu Zhutan.

Cao Chun pulled out almost all of Yuyang's combat power.

In order to win this battle, the people organized themselves, the strong and strong also took up arms, the weak and weak served as transport aids, and even the elderly women and children gave their full strength and support.

It can be said that Yuyang City is now undefended at this time!

Everyone in Yuyang knew that if they couldn't win, they would die.

How could Yu Zhutan resist such a completely desperate attitude?

Yu Zhutan's men and horses were forced back by Cao's army, while Yu Zhutan himself kept looking back, hoping to see the support of friendly forces, but he never saw any men and horses appearing in the field of vision...

The most important thing is that the people of Youzhou who were captured by Yu Zhudan regained the courage to resist when they saw the banner of the Han family.

The Hu people actually did some defensive work, but more and more people were captured later, and those limited defense systems could not contain all the people. Therefore, when Cao Jun attacked, these people who were placed on the outside were The people of Youbei were the first to be affected.

Yu Zhutan saw the corpses of men and horses from both sides stacked up on the front defense line. The blood from the dead men and horses dyed the originally white land red, and then melted the snow, forming a winding stream, like It was the earth that cracked open with bright red holes, and it seemed like a bloody mouth was opened, and it was about to swallow flesh, blood and soul together.

In previous battles, some people would always hesitate and want to retreat to take a breather, but this time when Cao Jun attacked, no one even wanted to take a step back!

The dead Cao Jun cavalry paved a path of flesh and blood.

Cao Chun finally took action, and along such a flesh-and-blood road, he led his bodyguards to charge forward.

Yu Zhutan's men themselves were not particularly strong, and they had suffered losses at the hands of Cao Jun before. Now seeing the crazy energy of Cao Jun's soldiers, the men and horses were all covered in blood and rushed in. They rushed left and right crazily, and they were immediately overwhelmed. Unable to hold on any longer, the array began to collapse, and then quickly fester.

When Yu Zhutan saw something was wrong, he didn't care that he had said he would stick to this place before, so he immediately turned around and ran away from the hillside with his men. And as soon as he ran away, the rest of the tribe immediately collapsed.

"Let the people carry swords and guns!" Follow me and kill the barbarians! ”Cao Chun swung his spear and led his soldiers to stare at the direction where Yu Zhutan disappeared. “The whole army will not stop and continue to pursue!” 』

The soldiers of Cao's army rushed to the people who were either crying, laughing, or just standing there at a loss. They threw down a few swords and guns, and then pointed in the direction of the Hu people's retreat and shouted, "You have the guts." , take the sword and gun and kill the wild dog with us! 』

In the era of the Han Dynasty, the blood and bravery of the people, especially those in the frontiers, had not been completely exhausted. It can even be said that in most feudal dynasties, it was because the people could not see the hope of the court that they fell into disrepute, rather than because the people were really willing to do so.

Many high-ranking officials in the feudal dynasty often insulted the common people for being insensitive and unwilling to make progress, but they did not mention at all what made these people a little bit passionate when they still had flesh and blood and wanted to forge ahead. The beating became ice.

When the swords and guns were thrown in front of these people, although some of them were still numb, some people gritted their teeth and stood up and picked up the swords and guns. Even those who did not have swords and guns went aside to get wooden sticks, or simply picked up the swords. A piece of stone followed Cao Jun's soldiers, shouting and rushing towards the barbarians.

Su Li and Mo Huba did not expect that the situation would change so quickly, so fast that they could not react at all. Almost in the blink of an eye, there were roars from all directions. They were like ships facing a tsunami, in danger of being capsized at any time.

Faced with this situation, Su Li and Mo Huba immediately rushed into Gubeikou without any hesitation or burden.

In this situation, whoever stays is Shabi...

Su Li and Mo Huba took the lead in turning in, and the rest of the Hu people were even more miserable.

Yu Zhutan also wanted to follow, but was blocked outside the valley entrance by the fleeing Hu Sheng. Seeing Cao Chun's flag behind him getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but howl: "Get out of the way!" Get these idiots out of the way! 』

But who will listen to him?

Then the sword swung and slashed at the buttocks of the same kind.

The situation began to turn one sided...

Most of the time, these ordinary people really don't ask for any extra care or special support from the court. They just need a slightly more equal environment. Instead of treating them as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, trampling on them wantonly, and exploiting them. After increasing their residual value, they also insult their personality and suppress their IQ...

Cao Chun did a lot of wrong things.

At the beginning of the war, in order to cut off the transmission of news, he innocently killed many people in and around Yuyang City.

When he failed in the confrontation with Zhao Yun, he also abandoned a large number of ordinary soldiers and Youzhou people in Black Stone Forest.

Even when the Hu people went south, Cao Chun huddled in Yuyang City, doing nothing and watching the Hu people looting everywhere...

Logically speaking, the people of Youzhou had reason to hate him, refuse his orders, and not cooperate with Cao Jun's actions. However, these kind people forgot at this moment the pain Cao Jun caused them and the suffering they endured before. Just seeing the glimmer of light brought by Cao Chun, he followed the banner of the Han Dynasty again without hesitation.

They are stupid, they are stupid, they are stupid, they have been bullied, deceived, deceived generation after generation, and have been pushed to the bottom, enduring the most suffering and despair, but they are such a group of stupid, stupid, stupid people, But it has supported the splendid splendor of China for thousands of years!

They simply need someone to guide them, so they can follow them without any regrets...

At the moment, this was the only thing Cao Chun did right. He mobilized the hearts of the people in Youzhou, and in this short period of time, directed the target of everyone's hatred towards the Hu people.

When this turbulent wave gradually expanded and spread, not only Yu Zhutan fled in panic, but even the tribesmen of Su Li and Mo Huba were unable to suppress the uprising of the people in Youbei.

Even without weapons, many people pounced on them with their bare hands, scratched with their hands, and bit them with their teeth, repaying the violence inflicted on them by the barbarians, tooth for tooth, blood for blood.

Everything was turned upside down in such an instant, the original prey became the current hunter, and the original perpetrator now became a coward, running away and hiding.

A foreigner was thrown to the ground in the snow, and then countless fists and kicks followed. In a blink of an eye, the foreigner was beaten until blood spurted from his mouth, his bones and tendons were broken, and he died.

Some barbarians tried to escape on horseback, but they were bumped in front of the horses at the risk of their lives. They and the horses tripped and fell to the ground. Then the Youzhou people who hit the horses vomited blood and did not know. Was he crying or falling to the ground laughing...

Cao Jun's soldiers fought regardless of life and death.

The people of Youzhou followed suit regardless of life or death.

At this moment, no one shouted slogans, and no one said anything about the justice of the family and the country, but everyone knew that they were together. Even if they died, there would be others who would avenge themselves, even if they didn't die at all. We know each other, but I don’t know what the other person’s name is, because at this moment, they have the same title——

Han people!

…

…

At the northern end of Gubeikou, Zhao Yun stood under the battle flag.

The leaders of the Jiankun and Rouran people stood beside Zhao Yun's flag one after another, like quails, honest and honest, even if they were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to fart more.

In this confrontation between the Han people between the East and the West, although these Jiankun and Rouran people did see conflicts between the Han people, they also saw the power of Zhao Yun's side. For these Hu people, Mu Qiang is almost an instinct engraved in their genes, so when Zhao Yun deprived them of most of the people captured in Youzhou, although they had resentment in their hearts, on the surface they were Dare not say anything more.

Snow was falling heavily.

Many Jiankun and Rouran people looked up at the sky, with more or less fear on their faces from the white and black disasters they had encountered before.

Although it is the first month of the year now, the severe cold seems to have no intention of leaving at all. Instead, it feels like it is getting worse. As for Jiankun and Rouran, due to their deepening relationship with the Huqi trade, they have gradually become inseparable from all aspects of the Huqi products. Especially in the past, some Hu people mortgaged their cattle and sheep to the Husband. In exchange for fodder and winter supplies, the Jiankun and Rouran people did not dare to offend Zhao Yun easily, as well as the hussar general Fei Qian behind Zhao Yun.

"Protector, Suli and the others have been defeated...Cao's army is chasing them..."

A scout rushed over and reported loudly.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, "Let's explore again." 』

The scout led the troops and rode away again.

As the news spread, the Jiankun people and Rouran people couldn't help but feel a little restless in the queue.

"Su Li... this old guy has been fighting for decades. I can't believe it..."

"Suli is already old..."

"This time, the Wuhuan and Xianbei people are completely finished..."

"Lower your voice..."

The concept of the Hu people is actually very simple. They have not been able to form an effective cultural heritage and can only rely on biological instincts to do things. There may be a few talented people with amazing talents, but in most cases, Most of the time, there is no way to compete with the stable farming people in terms of talent base, so it is naturally impossible to compete in the long term.

Today's battle is actually very simple.

If Cao Jun does not attack, then Zhao Yun will lead the Jiankun and Rouran people to deal with the Wuhuan and Xianbei people...

But now that Cao Jun is attacking, Zhao Yun is not ready to attack.

The humans and livestock that Suli and Mohuba escaped were used as rewards, or compensation, for the Jiankun and Rouran people.

The people of Youzhou who were kidnapped by the barbarians will be picked up by Zhao Yun.

Of course, there will definitely be many casualties during this process...

"Protector!" Su Li's people have come out! ” A soldier came quickly from the direction of Gubeikou, without dismounting, and reported loudly. He knew that Zhao Yun would have an order for him immediately.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "Let Jiankun be on the left wing and Rouran be on the right wing!" 』

"Follow the order!" ” The soldier responded loudly, then immediately patted his horse and went to deliver the order again.

Under the command, the Jiankun and Rouran people began to move.

Speaking of which, the Jiankun and Rouran people would naturally not be satisfied with Zhao Yun's exploitation model, but on the grasslands and deserts, they had seen even more brutal exploitation models...

If the overall society of the Han Dynasty has gradually broken away from the production relations of slave society and begun to evolve towards a more refined and broader social division of labor, the primitive and barbaric slavery system still existed in the grasslands and deserts for a long time, and even as farming nations developed Even after capitalism sprouted, northern nomads were still surviving under this backward system.

The dynasty change in the late Ming Dynasty was not so much the defeat of the advanced system by the backward system, but rather the fact that the Qing Dynasty picked up the slack during the social transition period of the farming system. This is indeed the case. Without Wu Sangui, or if Li Zicheng's ability value was slightly higher, it would not be so easy for the Qing Dynasty to enter the pass.

Just like at this moment, although Jiankun and Rouran were a little unhappy, they were still suppressed by Zhao Yun and could only spit out the meat that had been bitten into their mouths, and then turned around to chew on the two bones of Suli and Mo Huba.

Because Zhao Yun is stronger than them.

Because Fei Qian behind Zhao Yun is more powerful.

This kind of strength is not only a temporary human advantage, but also suppression in many aspects such as culture, science and technology, and force.

Humans are such strange creatures. When the level of the two parties is almost the same, they just want to compare with each other and will not give up until one of them is superior. Even if they are old neighbors and friends for many years, they may not be together when they meet. The thought of comparing each other, compared to houses, spouses, and children...

But if they encounter something that is too different, most people will not think about it.

After all, people like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are in the minority.

Zhao Yun also mounted his horse, but he did not mean to lead the army to charge, but more like supervising the formation.

This is the tactical plan of the entire Northern Territory. It was launched from Guanzhong and implemented in the Northern Territory. From planners to executors, excellent counselors, brave generals, and a huge organizational operation system supported a grand goal.

Defeat Cao's army and stabilize the desert.

Eliminate uneasy factors and retain beneficial supplements.

The final outcome is coming, and the power of the desert cannot be interfered with by others.

In the ranks of the Han army behind Zhao Yun, the soldiers and horses were also arranged neatly, ready to fight at any time.

Although no one chanted any slogans to boost morale, the murderous aura emanating from their bodies made the war horses feel the impending battle. They shook their necks, snorted, and scratched their hooves from time to time, waiting for their masters. The order issued.

Under the snowflakes that covered the sky and the sun, at the mountain pass, the Wuyang people of Wuhuan appeared.

First there were a few, then dozens, then hundreds, like beetles rushing out of the gap in a petri dish, and in the blink of an eye a large number came out...

What greeted them was not only wind and snow, but also death.
