The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

(I’m going out to play on May Day in the next few days, so I may or may not update from time to time. I’ll resume after May Day.)
Xuzhou surrendered without a fight. Yuan Shu was furious and ordered generals Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to join forces and lead tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to attack Liu Han in seven directions. The main attack direction was naturally Xuzhou Sanchen.

On the first route, Yuan Si led 8,000 people by water, starting from Jiujiang, going down the river, landing at Jiangdu, attacking Guangling, and taking Huaiyin.

On the second route, Ji Ling led 8,000 troops and took the overland route, starting from Jiujiang and going straight to Xiapi.

On the third route, Huang Yi and Chang Nu led 10,000 troops to guard Pei County.

The fourth route, led by General Zhang Xun, led an army of 20,000 to attack Pengcheng from Xiao County.

On the fifth route, Liu Xiang and Qi Ji led four thousand troops to guard Xia Cai. One was the Shouchun barrier and the other was to protect the grain road.

The sixth route, led by General Liu Xun with 15,000 troops, set out from the Lujiang River and attacked Runan Pingyu from the flank.

On the seventh route, Yuan Shu personally led 35,000 troops, including generals Chen Ji, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo, and counselors Han Yin and Li Ye, preparing for a decisive battle with Liu Han in Yuzhou.

A total of one hundred thousand troops.

Three generals, Li Feng, Liang Gang and Lejiu, led the remaining 20,000 troops to stay in Shouchun.

Yuan Shu mobilized troops on such a large scale, Liu Han naturally wanted to respond.

The first route: Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong led 30,000 troops out of Mount Tai, attacked Xiaopei, and pulled out the nails Yuan Shu placed at the junction of Yan, Yu, and Xu states.

Second route: The three generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhou Cang led an army of 20,000 to resist Liu Xun's troops in Lujiang.

The third route: Zhang Liao, Wang Ling, Li Dian, Xie Jun, Sun Guan, Zang Ba, Wu Dun, and Yin Li led 40,000 troops to guard Xuzhou, plus Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and Chen Gong who surrendered 20,000 people, totaling 60,000 people.

At the same time, Wang Chang was responsible for Xuzhou's logistics, and Liu Ye and Guo Jia formulated the strategy.

The fourth route: Three generals, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin, led a navy of 20,000 people to land from Liyang, taking only Shouchun.

The fifth route: Liu Han also personally led an army of 50,000, with generals Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Chen Dao, Zhu Ling, and Lu Zhao, counselors Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, as well as experienced juniors Wang Ji, Wen Hui, Guo Huai, Pei Qian, Du Shu, Luo Jun and others accompanied the army.

For a time, war broke out in Yu, Yang, and Xu. The two major feudal lords of the Han Dynasty fought in the first and decisive battle.

"Got to go."

Liu Han looked at Cai Yan lovingly.

Cai Yan rolled his eyes: "The sisters are all watching."

"it is good."

"How long will it take to go out this time?"

"About half a year."

"Okay, are you sure you don't want Junyi?"

"Ying'er's child is less than one year old. We will give him a holiday this year and let him stay in Jinyang."

"it is good."

The unique tacit understanding between husband and wife for many years, no separation of life and death due to war, only the filial piety of the parents.

Cai Yan helped Liu Han tie up his cloak, and Liu Han got on his horse and said, "Let's go!"

"drive!……"

The Han flag fluttered in the wind and gradually disappeared ten miles away. Cai Yan looked at the sisters behind him, with no tenderness in his eyes, only the coldness of the superior.

"Sisters, the king is not here, we have to guard the home for him."

"Here."

Halfway through the journey, Liu Han looked at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

"Ah…"

Xun Yu smiled bitterly, what are your thoughts? a lot of! Too many to even think about.

Who would have thought that the big man had turned into something he didn't recognize?

Xun Yu was very lucky. Fortunately, Mr. Xun had bowed his head early, otherwise... Xun Yu didn't dare to think about it.

Apart from anything else, it can be said that the Xun family has a close relationship with the Yuan family. Xun Chen even worked as a servant under Yuan Shao. If the Xun family had not turned around earlier, I am afraid that this time it would have been inevitable.

Looking at Liu Han, Xun Yu's face showed awe.

This person is really ruthless. Those nobles related to the Yuan family, even if they were farming in Mobei, were brought back and had their heads chopped off.

The Hongnong Yang family, such a huge family, was wiped out.

"To be honest, I don't want to kill anyone, but for this big man, there are always people who don't know how to appreciate him!"

When searching Hongnong's Yang family's home, Sun Zi naturally found some letters that Yang Biao had secretly communicated with others that had not yet been destroyed. This further strengthened Hongnong's Yang family's rebellious intentions. Liu Han took the opportunity to increase his efforts to implicate others. Give strength to those nobles who survived but secretly colluded.

He believed that after this incident, the nobles would be in peace for a long time.

Xun Yu avoided Liu Han's sigh and asked, "My lord, what should we do with the nobles in Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou?" "Wen Ruo, do you have any suggestions?"

"minister……"

Compared with Cao Cao who talked about everything, Xun Yu was more cautious with Liu Han.

"Gongda, what do you think?"

Xun You learned the lesson and said, "Let the king decide everything."

"Ah…"

"Have you also learned how to make peace with Xunshi from Yingyin?"

"Wen He, tell me."

Jia Xu knew Liu Han and said with a smile: "It's still the same, kill those related to the Yuan family."

"Ok!"

Liu Han nodded, very satisfied with Jia Xu's answer.

Xun Yu was confused and looked at Jia Xu, who then looked at Liu Han.

"Wen He, please give Wen Ruo a good explanation."

"Here."

Xun Yu saluted and said, "Please give me some advice from Mr. Wenhe, why..."

"You think you've killed enough?"

"…Yes."

More than 10,000 people have been killed. Not many people were directly related to the Yuan family. Most of them died in vain. Xun Yu didn't want to see such a tragedy again.

"It's right for you, but it's not enough for the big man."

"not enough?"

"My lord wants to set an example with the Yuan family."

"Setting up a model?"

Xun Yu was not stupid, he could tell at one point. Killing people was secondary, and the main thing was to establish his authority.

"The Yuan family of Runan has harmed everyone."

Killing the Yuan family of Runan and its nine clans was the second. What Liu Han wanted to do was to use this incident to tell the world's scholars that whoever dared to rebel and attempt to become emperor would be wiped out as a line in the history books.

Killing is not necessarily the best way, but it must be the most effective way, and the effect is immediate. For example, now, "Four Generations and Three Dukes" used to represent glory, but now it is a taboo. In the future, which family would dare to do "Four Generations and Three Dukes" even if they do nothing? , will be tortured to death.

Since the Yuan family, the Four Generations and Three Dukes have become history.

"It's good to understand. So this time when we go south, we have to kill. Didn't you see that my lord brought so many people here?"

He even used the navy, but because he was afraid that the nobles would flee south, Taishi Ci directly blocked the river, closed the door and beat the dogs.

"Ugh!"

Xun Yu mourned for them in his heart.

"After this battle, Huang Xu was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and Guoyuan was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou."

"Here."

When fighting Yuan Shu, Liu Han really didn't feel any pressure at all.

"Chen arrived."

"The end will be here."

"I order you to be the vanguard and lead an army of three thousand to occupy Chengfu first."

"I will obey my orders."

"Wen Ruo."

"The minister is here."

"You take those boys with you first. They are just studying theory in the academy. Take them with you this time and take care of the logistics first."

"Here."

Nowadays, Liu Han rarely charges into battle, and his focus is more on cultivating the next generation.

"Yuan Shu, it's time for you to withdraw from the stage of history." (End of Chapter)
