Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1042 Newly Appointed Yizhou Mu Liu Yu

Chapter 1040: The New Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yu

Before I knew it, the time came to February of the second year of Chuping (191).

In the past year, too many big events happened:
In January of the first year of Chuping, the alliance of princes of the 36th Route called for Dong;

In the same month, leader Qin Hao promoted high-yield grain, which became the greatest blessing for farmers all over the world;

In February, the third battle of Hulao Pass;
In March, Hulao rain battle;
In the same month, the coalition forces were divided into three groups;

Afterwards, the Battle of Longmen Formation, the Battle of Luoyang, the decisive battle between Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao at the top of Luoyang, the retreat of the allied forces, the meeting of Mianchi, the death of Dong Zhuo, and the alliance of southern princes...

Each of the above events is extremely important, but they all happened in the same year, which shows how wonderful the first year of Chuping was, and the second year of Chuping that followed was also not peaceful.

In the second year of Chuping, on February 30st, Chiyou, the king of the Southern Barbarians led [-] barbarians, falsely claiming [-] to the outside world, and invaded the counties in southern Sichuan of Yizhou for the third time.

Chi You was not arrogant enough to declare war on the two Lius at the same time. Before the main force arrived, his main targets were only Liu Yan's family.

Although Liu Yan has always been on guard against Chi You, but nearly half of his troops are used to guard against Liu Ji, who has a tense relationship, so it is naturally difficult to resist Chi You's invasion.

Chi You's army is not superior in terms of strength, but Yizhou County is afraid of Chi You like a tiger, so Chi You's army is so powerful that it captured the entire Jianning County in less than half a month, and half of Xinggu County fell. .

The rapid deterioration of the war situation forced Liu Yan to deploy troops on the northern front to resist the aggressive Chi You's invasion, and Liu Yan also fell ill under exhaustion.

Chengdu, State Shepherd's Mansion.

"Yuer..."

Liu Yan on the sickbed moaned weakly.

Liu Yu took Liu Zhang and other brothers and sisters and knelt in front of Liu Yan's bed. When he heard his father's call, Liu Yu hurried forward and grabbed Liu Yan's hand, saying sadly: "Father, Yu'er is here!" Woolen cloth."

Liu Yan opened his cloudy eyes and said bitterly: "Yu'er, it's useless to be a father. You have ruined this great foundation of Yizhou until it's in this situation..."

Liu Yu immediately shook his head and comforted him: "Father, it's not your fault. Zhu Rongchi (Chi You) is a hero who emerges once every thousand years in the Southern Man. No one in this world can do better than you, Father."

"Yu'er, you don't need to comfort your father, if you lose, you lose."

The bitterness on Liu Yan's face became even worse, and he said, "Yu'er, as a father, I wanted to lay a solid foundation for my son like Qin Wen did, but I didn't expect to leave you with a mess.

I'm afraid it's going to be impossible to be a father now, Yu'er, you are the eldest son in your family, and you can only take care of this mess. "

"Father, this is Yu'er's duty, and Yu'er will never back down."

Liu Yu said very firmly, and seeing this, Liu Yan couldn't help flashing a gleam of relief in his eyes.

"Yu'er, you are the pride of my father. I believe that you will be able to keep this foundation and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. Also, you must be careful, be careful..."

As he spoke, Liu Yan seemed to be in great pain, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Liu Yu was shocked when he saw this, and quickly said: "Father, stop talking. Doctor, doctor, come quickly..."

"Be careful with Liu Ji, he is the eldest son of the emperor."

Liu Yan exhausted the last ounce of strength in his life, and finally revealed this amazing secret.

Liu Yu was stunned after hearing this, and finally understood why his father was so afraid of Liu Ji. After all, compared to the clan of the Han family, as the eldest son of Emperor Liu Ji, it was easier to win the support of the aristocratic family and the common people!
In the second year of Chuping, on February [-], Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died of illness in Chengdu, and his son Liu Yu succeeded him as the new Yizhou Mu.

Not long after Liu Yu finished the funeral for Liu Yan, he led an army of [-] to go south to confront Chi You in person.

Compared to Liu Yan who would only hide in Chengdu, Liu Yu dared to confront Chi You directly, and his move to the battlefield in person also won the approval of the Yizhou generals, and the morale of the Yizhou army was even higher.

When Liu Yu's 15 reinforcements arrived, there were only [-] defenders in southern Sichuan, and the combined strength of the two armies reached [-].

Liu Yu far surpassed Chi You in terms of military strength, but facing Chi You's army with high morale, Liu Yu did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and instead adopted a steady and steady style of play.

Relying on his superior force and excellent equipment, Liu Yu blocked Chi You's fierce attack, forcing Chi You to delay the attack.

But this situation didn't last long. When Chi You's [-] reinforcements arrived, Liu Yu, who had lost his strength advantage, was again suppressed by Chi You.

Chi You, with a 20 army in hand, and himself and Gong Gong, two war-god-level warriors, can be described as monstrous.

Liu Yu was not as strong as Chi You in terms of military strength, and even farther behind in terms of generals, but he still refused to compromise and retreat even half a step.

Facing the Yizhou army that has been defeated repeatedly by the Nanman, under the leadership of the new lord Liu Yu, they have displayed a combat power that even Chi You can't help but marvel at, but the price of doing so is also huge.

In terms of soldiers, Liu Yujun suffered a total of nearly [-] casualties. As for the losses of generals, they can only be described as tragic.

Among the generals born under Liu Yu's command, He Wuji, Tan Pingzhi, Tan Shao, Meng Chang, and Meng Huaiyu died in battle.

The casualties of Yizhou's local generals were even more tragic. Jia Long, Cheng Yu, Zheng Du, Li Yi, Yang Huai, Lei Tong, Yong Kai, and Zhu Bao, eight generals died in battle.

Among the thirteen soldiers who died in the battle, six died at the hands of Chi You, four died at the hands of Gong Gong, and the other generals of the Nanman only killed three people, and even Liu Yu himself almost died several times. pregnancy.

Liu Yu paid such a tragic price and wiped out Chi You's nearly [-] troops, which was already an unprecedented victory for the Yizhou army who had been defeated repeatedly.

In the past battles between the Yizhou Army and the Southern Barbarian Army, the number of victories is simply counted on the fingers. The most one time only wiped out a thousand barbarians, but they paid the price of nearly [-] casualties.

This time, under the leadership of Liu Yu, the Yizhou Army finally felt proud. Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Huang Quan and other veterans in the army also agreed with Liu Yu as the new leader.

Through the war with Chi You, although Liu Yu tried his best to benefit the hearts of the state officials, he still lost in terms of strategy.

Liu Yu, who had only [-] troops left in his hands, failed to defend Xinggu County in the end, and chose to retreat to Zhuti County in time when the situation was not good.

Chi You put too much pressure on Liu Yu, forcing Liu Yu to dispatch troops from the eastern front to help, but considering Liu Ji who was staring at him covetously, this made Liu Yu unable to make up his mind.

In the end, Liu Yu decided to cede Guxing County, which had been occupied by Chi You, in order to form an alliance with Liu Ji again, and the two joined hands again to fight against Chi You's invasion.
