Chapter 895
After Xu Bugu's death, the Huns had no fighting spirit. They all retreated to the top of the city and snatched rafts to land.

Gao Shun took advantage of the situation to hide and kill, and soon wiped out the Huns on the top of the city.

After the rain, the artillerymen began to show their power, shooting and killing the fleeing Huns from a long distance.

The Huns were defeated, and those who fell into the water trampled on themselves and suffered countless casualties.

Less than a thousand people fled back to Gaogang.

They didn't dare to stay, they all rode their horses and fled, taking a detour to escape from Lunu.

Long live the General!

There were thunderous cheers from the city.

They eventually emerged victorious.

Is this the power of the people?
Guo Jia's eyes suddenly became moist.

He prepared for this battle for a long time and took many measures.

But it is still public opinion that wins at the last minute.

If these people hadn't climbed to the top of the city and swore to defend the city to the death, they wouldn't have defeated the last confidence of the Huns.

After so many years of operation, these people have regarded Yunzhou as their home.

"Congratulations, lord!"

Xi Zhong led the crowd to kneel down on the ground.

He excitedly said: "The hearts of the people have been won, and the world is settled!"

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

If Guo Jia completely captured the hearts of the people in Yunzhou by virtue of this battle, he would be one step closer to being king in the south.

Guo Jia understands the meaning of Xizhong very well.

This battle raised Guo Jia's reputation to the highest position, and with the guise of the help of the water god, he could take the opportunity to become king in the south.

With the current imperial court, there is nothing they can do to Guo Jia.

Be king!

Guo Jia smiled dumbly.

He naturally wanted to be king, but he couldn't do it now.

Because the time is not yet ripe.

Although Yunzhou has strong soldiers and horses, Guo Jia still wants to wait and see the changes.

On the one hand, it is for the promise to Xun You.

On the other hand, I don't want to be the target of public criticism early.

After all, the emperor is still there, and the concept of Han unification is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Guo Jia took a deep breath, and said word by word: "I, Guo Jia, am willing to be loyal to the big man and guard the border. Anyone who offends my strong man will be punished no matter how far away!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, except Cai Yu curled his lips, knowing that he was pretending to be aggressive, the rest of the people all cheered.

The mighty general!
There are quite a few people among them who have a heart for a big man.

These people are still loyal and patriotic.

They will not object to Guo Jia becoming king, but they feel a little uncomfortable after all.

Now Guo Jia's statement gave them enough confidence.

The battle of Lunu was completely won.

……

After hearing that the Xiongnu were defeated and Xu Bugu died tragically, he knew that the situation was over, so he left the army that night and led hundreds of confidants to flee overnight.

The Huns in Wangdu were in chaos again, and Pound Guanhai took advantage of the situation to pursue them, killing and wounding most of the Huns.

In this way, in this battle, the Yunzhou Army won the final victory.

……

A few days later, the flood receded, and Xi Zhong commanded the army and civilians to rebuild the river.

In view of this river water manifestation.

Guo Jia personally wrote the inscription in honor of the river god.

Since then, the people of Yunzhou have called the Tang River the Holy Water River.

According to the historical records of later generations, the general Guo Jia, with a weak force, went south to a decisive battle with the main force of the grassland, defeated the main force of the grassland in Lunuwangdu, and wiped out 10,000+ grassland cavalry, which is known as the Luwang Victory in history.

After this battle, the vitality of the grassland nomads was severely damaged, and they had no strength left to go south for a hundred years.

According to folklore, the great general Guo Jia Ziwei descended to earth, the god of wind assisted, the god of rain assisted, and the god of river showed his power, annihilating one hundred thousand soldiers on the grassland.

Since then, the grassland has surrendered, and it has not dared to invade the Central Plains for a hundred years.

……

While Lunu City was in a bitter battle, Ye County was also at the critical point of life and death.

This time Cao Cao came prepared, bringing a large number of catapults and crossbows, and using Molotov cocktails.

He has fought against Yunzhou many times, and suffered from the Yunzhou artillery.

Cao Cao wanted to steal his teacher, but the formula of gunpowder was a secret of Yunzhou, so he had no way of knowing it, so he had to make some simple incendiary bombs.

These incendiary bombs played an important role, and the defenders in Ye County were very embarrassed.

Due to Xu Shu's mistakes, Ye County's defense was weak, and the reinforcements from Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai Sea were defeated by Xia Houyuan, so they had to defend the city hard.

Just when Cao Cao was planning to take down Ye County in one go and take Jizhou into his own hands, a message came from behind that almost made him fall off his horse.

Together with Lu Bu and Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu launched another surprise attack on Yanzhou.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, rebelled, and Chen Gong of Dongjun welcomed Lu Bu into the city. Lu Bu took Puyang, Zhang Xiu took Yingchuan, and Liu Biao took Runan.

Half of the territory in Yanzhou has been lost.

While Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu defended to the death, they flew to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was shocked.

Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao, once lost, he will be homeless.

Cao Cao had no choice but to leave Ye County, return to Yanzhou, and fought a bloody battle with Lu Bu.

When Zhang Xiu saw Cao Cao returning to the army, he immediately packed his chariots and horses. When Liu Biao had no time to take care of Nanyang, he led his army to plunder the counties of Nanyang, took all his belongings, and fled to Ye County.

Without Jia Xu's strategizing, Lu Bu and Liu Biao were naturally no match for Cao Cao. Liu Biao retreated back to Nanyang without much loss, but Lu Bu suffered a heavy loss.

The two fought three times in Yanzhou, Cao Cao won a big victory and regained Yanzhou.

Lu Bu was defeated, and Chen Liu fell into Cao Cao's fingers again.The prefect Zhang Miao slayed himself, and Chen Gong followed Lu Bu to join Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian left Lv Bu and Xiaopei to set up troops, thinking that he didn't mention Yuyi.

……

When Gongsundu learned that Xubugu was defeated, he immediately made a statement to Guo Jia, willing to submit to Guo Jia, guarding Liaodong for him for generations, and his descendants inherited the title of King of Liaodong.

Naturally, Guo Jia didn't have a good impression of this young man, so he wrote a battle call and ordered Tian Feng, the governor of Youzhou, to lead his army to attack.

The two sides fought in the west of Liaoning. The Liaodong army had no intention of fighting and was defeated back to Liaodong. The Youzhou army regained the land in the west of Liaoning. The two sides confronted each other at the border.

The troubles in Liaodong were basically calmed down.

……

Zhao Yun destroyed the Huns' rear and brought back a large number of Han slaves, cattle and sheep, and was warmly welcomed by Yunzhou.

After this, the power of the Huns basically withdrew from the stage of history.The Xianbei and Qiang people were also seriously injured, and the coefficient in Bingzhou was stable.

Xu Huang and Xu Rong went all out to defeat Zhang Yang's army in Shangdang. Zhang Yang was defeated, so he had to lead the defeated army and fled back to Luoyang, where he took refuge in Cao Cao.

Guo Jia led the governor of Bingzhou under the alias of Wu Yi Xun You, and took Guan Yu and Zhang Liao as generals, and brought Bingzhou into his hands.

Since then, Guo Jia has become the overlord of the north and has merged with the four prefectures of Yunji.

After Zhang Yang came to Luoyang, he died of depression not long after, and the emperor naturally fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao suffered a big loss in the hands of Jia Xu, he got the emperor as he wished, which can be regarded as the sangyu that was lost in the east.

In order to stabilize Guo Jia, Cao Cao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, restored the official position of General Guo Jia, took over the land that merged with the four prefectures of Yunji, and could serve as an official himself.

Cao Cao himself also relied on the emperor to command the princes, leading the rapid rise of Yanzhou power, occupying Yuzhou and Sili, and becoming the second largest power in the Central Plains.
