Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

A huge map was placed in front of Wei Yan and Guan Yu, and Xu Huang also came up to it.

A marked trail is drawn on the map.

This path passes through Lulongzhai, which was an important front line in the Western Han Dynasty. In the past, the Huns often used this path to harass the border.

Later, the Huns were beaten and fled all the way north, and no one used this path.

From Guangwu Zhongxing to Lingdi Dynasty, basically no one left, and it was considered a semi-abandoned state.

certainly…

Liu Yu knew this because in history,

After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and pacified the four northern states, he found a guide named "Tian Chou" here.

He is not only a local celebrity, but also a local expert. What he pointed out to Cao Cao is this road from Xuwu Mountain to Pinggang County in Beiping County, and then directly to Liucheng!

This is how Zhang Liao attacked Wuhuan on Langya Mountain, beheaded King Tadun of Wuhuan in one fell swoop, and broke through Liucheng...famous all over the world!
certainly…

The road is... long.

However, according to Liu Yu's conjecture... Both the Donghu and the Xiongnu have an old habit. When they plunder, they often take their families behind them. Wuhuan is a descendant of the Donghu, and most of them will keep this old habit!

Perhaps, they can discover their clansmen without going to Wang Tingliu City at all.

And the best way to solve the siege of Zhuojun is to slaughter their clansmen.

This inaccessible path can perfectly avoid the eyeliner of all barbarians.

"This is to encircle Wei and save Zhao?" Guan Yu exclaimed...

Wei Yan nodded. "Otherwise...we only have [-] cavalry, and the opponent has tens of thousands of cavalry, fighting on the plains...how can we be their opponent?"

Guan Yu was silent...

Compared with sneak attack, he prefers to defeat the enemy with the king's division head-on, but... In fact, today's soldiers and horses are simply not enough to do it.

He turned his head to look at Xu Huang.

"What does Gongming think..."

"For the barbarians, there is no need to pay attention to "Spring and Autumn Days"!" Xu Huang's eyes narrowed. "Besides, when they plundered the border of my big man, did they consider the word 'righteousness'!"

It seems that Xu Huang is also very transparent!
Of course, the reason why Liu Yu wants to hand over the task to Wei Yan...

In the final analysis, both Guan Yu and Xu Huang are "moral" people, and they just fought against the Hulu, so they can't pay attention to morality!

Fight "unrighteousness" with "unrighteousness", otherwise... the one who suffers is bound to be the side of the big man.

"I see!" Guan Yu nodded, "Then, we will head towards Lulongzhai immediately..."

Guan Yu was not born in the frontier since he was a child...

I only heard about it, but never saw the cruelty of the Hulu.

even…

Today, he still has the vision that his wife and children are not as good as his misfortune.

only…

In the face of the big situation... it is time to sneak attack on the Hu Lu's rear... it is necessary to sneak attack here!
Wei Yan smiled, "That's right! It's better to be brave than to be brave, and Liu's sacrifice to wine... can be described as a surprise!"

In a word...

The [-] cavalry had rested and reorganized. They bypassed Youzhou and marched away from Zhuojun.

It's just... when you go to the north of Zhuojun...

They passed a village.

It seems... this village didn't get the news in advance, and they didn't hide in the city guards, they were too close to Liaodong...

From a distance... there is no one in the empty village now!

But when I got closer, I realized...the village was full of corpses.

Blood was splattered everywhere on the ground, and dirty clothes were scattered all over the street... There was only one empty figure, not a single sound!

Seeing this scene, the four thousand knights of the Northern Army of the Han Court fell silent.

I couldn't help breathing quickly, my eyes were full of disbelief...

Is this the southward movement of Hu Lu?
A village with hundreds of people suddenly turned into a dead city!
And they looked at the residential houses on the side of the road. Along the way, they could see naked women everywhere...with scars, and their bodies...most of them were tortured beyond recognition.

"Changsheng..." Xu Huang looked back at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu clenched his teeth tightly, and looked at the purgatory in front of him in disbelief. "This... Who did these?"

Wei Yan turned his face slowly, looked at him with a pair of blood red eyes, and spoke lightly.

"What do you say?"

"Wuhuan went south, not all the villages could get the news, and those who had no news and didn't have time to hide in the city, most of them would be reduced to this situation."

It was the first time for Guan Yu to experience the cruelty of the barbarians at such a close distance...

He murmured: "We have 4000 people, we can't stop them! Can we?"

He repeated the sentence Wei Yan mentioned before.

Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness welled up.

Looking at Guan Yu's red eyes, Wei Yan could feel the pain deep in his heart. Compared with... Guan Yu, Wei Yan had heard people mention the barbarians earlier!

According to legend...During the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu and Donghu both had the habit of cannibalism...

Looking at it now, it seems that Wuhuan only wanted to plunder villages, and he has not yet reached the point of cannibalism!
Wei Yan spoke again:
"Changsheng, there is a reason for what Liu Jijiu asked us to do!"

"With Hu Lu, you should not reason, let alone morality!"

Guan Yu bit his lip, if before... he was not allowed to go north...to slaughter the rear of the barbarians because of Liu Yu's order, then now...he...he...

He looked at the soldiers with bloodshot eyes behind him.

Guan Yu roared in an almost roaring voice: "Go north...go north!"

"Guan and Hu Lu are incompatible!"

...

...

Dawn of the morning.

The corpses of Wuhuan people were thrown down from the Zhuojun city tower like dead dogs.

The defenders on the city tower had already prepared a large number of crossbowmen under Liu Bei's order... and only waited for the Wuhuan people to snatch the corpses of their companions back, and then shot them to death with arrows.

seem…

The Wuhuan people also realized this, they did not act rashly, but watched from a distance...the situation in front of the tower of Zhuojun!
They're really exhausted, they've never been this tired...

The most frightening thing is that their food has bottomed out!
It's really bottoming out. If they continue to kill horses, their combat effectiveness will plummet.

Facing such a strong city wall, they felt powerless for the first time. They wished they could rush to the bottom of the city and knock open the gate of Zhuojun with their heads, but... is this possible?
After cursing, anger...they find themselves powerless.

The military has begun to waver...

In order to save food, they ate up the voles, scraped off the bark of the nearby forests, and even... plundered every village as much as possible.

But...they stayed in Zhuojun for too long, and the surrounding villages had already fled after inquiring, only those villages near Liaodong remained, but...they had already been plundered!
Even... Under the plague, these villages have no food at all!

Apart from venting their anger on the women in those villages, the Wuhuan people found that there was nothing they could do!
The only fortunate thing is that most of the Zhuojun city has run out of food...

If they consume each other, they will collapse before anyone else...!
At this moment, Wuhuan King Qiu Liju was sitting in the tent angrily...

He took out his horsewhip and whipped a Han merchant a few times, as if... only in this way could he vent his depression.

It stands to reason that the Han merchants who can appear in his barracks are all his eyeliners... These years have brought a lot of information to Hu Di.

But now...the Wuhuan army is almost out of food, so why not extract it from them?Where can we get food?
Qiu Liju wants to drink...

He wanted to drink the strongest wine to vent his anger.

He also wanted to find a woman to give him a good slap, and he even regretted... When he went south, he killed those villages, leaving no one behind!
Who would have thought?

Is Zhuojun, the governor of Youzhou, so difficult to attack?

Who would have thought that the Han people in this city are so resilient!
Off the books...

Hu people starve to death every day. After death, at least his horse can be slaughtered without any worries. If he dies, he will lose a mouth. This is a blessing in disguise.

"Be patient..."

"Just hold on!"

These words kept coming out of Qiu Liju's heart...

He knew that their Wuhuan army was the limit, but... Zhuojun was also the limit!

One step forward...everything will be fine!

But take a step back, that is the abyss beyond redemption.

only…

He... How much longer can he last?
...

...

In Zhuojun City, the situation is not optimistic. Tomorrow will be the second [-]th day.

It seems... all the soldiers and civilians don't have much hope for the "fifteen days" proposed by Liu Xuande...

Many soldiers and civilians are aware of…

Perhaps, the so-called [-]th day was just made up by Liu Xuande in order to keep everyone going.

Zhang Rang has not eaten all day...

He looked at the baskets of gold in the pavilion. At this moment... he realized that gold can also become worthless. At this time, if someone can give him a piece of pancake to eat in one bite... he... he is willing to give this Thousands of gold gift.

Many times, Zhang Rang wanted to find Liu Bei...

Ask him if he will reinforce the army again, but... Zhang Rang stops after taking two steps. He has already guessed the answer. Tingbei Army?How could the imperial court send the Northern Army of Hanting to help?

call…

Zhang Rang just exhaled for a long time, he didn't know, next time he went to sleep...whether he would wake up hungry!
better be...

Because, if you close your eyes forever, everything will be over!
It's just... what Zhang Rang didn't know.

Liu Bei met someone today...

The Divine Envoy of Taiping Dao——Ma Yuanyi!

One side of the post...a wooden shore.

Liu Bei and Ma Yuanyi sat on both sides.

After Zhang Yulan introduced Ma Yuanyi as the God's Envoy of Taiping Dao, she silently withdrew...

Because, Ma Yuanyi had already told her in advance the purpose of Taiping Dao.

At this time, Liu Bei was the first to speak: "Unexpectedly, the envoy of Taiping Dao...is also trapped in Zhuo County! Now that Zhuo County is in great trouble, since Taiping Dao has food, why don't you take it out?"

Ma Yuanyi took out some biscuits from his pocket and put them on the table, and stretched out his hand to let Liu Bei eat some.

Liu Bei waved his hand, staring at Ma Yuanyi with his eyes, as if... the question just mentioned by the other party was very urgent.

"It's true that there is food in Taiping Dao, but how many people in Zhuo County, if they were taken out, it might not be enough for the whole city to eat for a day." Ma Yuanyi opened his mouth and said...

"Then why are you looking for me?" Liu Bei's eyes were dark, revealing a hint of disappointment.

"The Tao of Taiping is different from the Tao of Heavenly Masters!" Ma Yuanyi explained. "Taiping Dao will only help the believers, not the family members of the believers, and will not help the unrelated Li Shu. This is the order of the great virtuous teacher!"

Speaking of this, Ma Yuanyi's expression became serious, "Originally, I didn't intend to get involved in the plundering of the barbarians, but now...seeing how heroic the magistrate Liu is, I can't bear the magistrate Liu to starve to death in Zhuojun city."

"How about County Magistrate Liu vote for me in Tianping Dao? Firstly, County Magistrate Liu will not have to worry about food, and secondly... under the inspiration of County Magistrate Liu, more people will definitely join Taiping Dao, which can be regarded as my relief from Taiping Dao Many people... However, food is in short supply now, and our Taipingdao only recruits strong and strong people, and I am the only one who is ordered by my great virtuous teacher! I just talked with the saint of Tianshidao and learned that Liu County Magistrate did not join Tianshidao , you might as well think about it carefully and join my Taiping Dao! With the identity and talent of County Magistrate Liu, he is bound to become the altar master of my Taiping Dao!"

this word...

Ma Yuanyi took both food and high positions to recruit Liu Bei.

In his view, under such circumstances, Liu Bei will definitely not refuse.

But...he underestimated Liu Bei.

"If that's the case, there's nothing left to talk about."

Liu Beiyun calmly refused...

"You..." Ma Yuanyi had a look of disbelief...

Obviously, he could see that Liu Bei was very hungry at the moment...

It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no more food, he will not last for a few days.

"Although I, Liu Bei, am not a member of the Heavenly Master Dao, the Heavenly Master Dao Jijiu is my virtuous younger brother. I was able to get the post of Zhuo County Magistrate because of his recommendation... Brother Liu has the kindness to know me, I, Liu Bei If you want to enter the Tao, you must enter the way of the Heavenly Master, even if you don’t enter the Tao, you will still be the Way of the Heavenly Master for the rest of your life, and you will be Brother Liu’s friend!"

"The water from the stolen spring is mentioned in "Huainanzi Shuoshan Xun". Today, Liu Bei, I will put down my words, and I will not drink the water from the stolen spring, and I will not eat the food that comes from it!"

Speaking of which...

Liu Bei got up suddenly and was about to leave.

"Magistrate Liu, wait a moment..." Ma Yuanyi shouted hastily. "Why are you so persistent? Isn't it good to live?"

"I want to live..." Liu Bei paused, and said with emotion: "But if I live, but lose my benevolence, what is the meaning of walking dead?"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei took a step forward, but stopped again...

I asked a question. "Do you have relatives in Zhuo County?"

"Have…"

"If the city of Zhuojun is destroyed? What about your relatives?" Liu Bei's tone was very soft, but every word was powerful... "You..." Ma Yuanyi wanted to open his mouth, but suddenly thought of his old mother...

A word came to his lips, and he swallowed it back...

"Hehe..." Liu Bei laughed, "The Way of the Heavenly Master is different from your Taiping Way. Brother Liu first sent me to fight the plague, and then he spared no effort to support...resist the Hulu! These...don't prove the benevolence and righteousness of the Heavenly Master's way? This In the world, there should be such a sect to give the common people some hope!"

call…

Speaking of this, Liu Bei sighed softly, and strode out of here, leaving only Ma Yuanyi with a dull face!

Wait until Liu Bei goes away...

Some followers of Taiping Dao asked Ma Yuanyi.

"God's messenger, will the food... be returned?"

This…

Ma Yuanyi's eyes condensed even tighter!

The reason why I came to chat with Zhang Yulan, the saint of the Heavenly Master, and the reason why I wanted to chat with Liu Bei... was because of his mother.

When he handed the food to his mother, the mother who hadn't had any food for two days pushed it away...

She only said one thing, those soldiers who fought bloody battles on the city tower...the county magistrate Liu who defended Zhuo County with his own strength has not eaten yet, an old woman...how can she eat?How to eat it?

Liu Bei won't eat it, the soldiers won't eat it...his Ma Yuanyi's mother won't eat it!

this time...

Ma Yuanyi is in a dilemma!
