Great Han Empire

Chapter 775: A Storm of Troubled Heroes

In mid-September, it is cloudy.

After Yuan Shao withdrew to Hanoi, he regretted it.The loss in this battle was far beyond his expectations, which made his mood very low for a while.

From the beginning of the attack on Jizhou to the present, the 2 Henan Army has lost about half, and the [-] Hanoi Army and the [-] Yuzhou Army have also lost half, but the main losses are caused by indecisive retreat.In order to hold back Cao Cao's army and give the Northern Army time to encircle and annihilate them, although Yuan Shao accepted Tian Feng's suggestion and accepted the loss of some troops, the loss of more than [-] people still made him fall into deep self-blame .

Yuan Shao miscalculated the situation, thinking that it would take some time for the Northern Army to be on the East Road battlefield. As a result, the speed of retreat was delayed, allowing the main force of the Northern Army to catch up.However, Tian Feng and Guo Tu thought this loss was acceptable, because Cao Cao's situation must be more difficult. Even if he finally escaped from the siege, he would not be able to maintain the three alliances against Yuan Shao.

Now whether Cao Cao broke out of the siege and escaped from Jizhou, no one knew, so Yuan Shao discussed with everyone for a long time and made two-handed preparations.

If Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and others are wiped out by the Northern Frontier Army, the Central Plains will be occupied by Yuan Shu in a short period of time. Considering that they will need time to recover due to the loss of troops, they can only temporarily join forces with Yuan Shu.During the period when Yuan Shu seized the Central Plains, he could first send Yuan Xi from Nanyang to Jingzhou to expand his strength as soon as possible, and then look for opportunities to annex Yuan Shu and form a confrontation with Hebei across the river.
If Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei all escaped back, there would be two situations in the Central Plains.One is that the Northern Expedition Army was almost wiped out, and Cao Cao and others had no strength, so they could only retreat to Qingzhou to join Tian Kai in an attempt to make a comeback. When the person is released, in this way, the Central Plains will go to war immediately, and this is exactly what I need.The more fervently Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fight, the more confident they are in waiting for an opportunity to capture the Central Plains.

How many troops Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei can bring back is directly related to the future structure of the Central Plains. Therefore, Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and others have formulated many countermeasures.

The army of the Northern Expedition withdrew within less than a month after Yuan Shu launched the attack, which disrupted Yuan Shu's deployment. Even if Yuan Shu had already captured Xuzhou and captured most of Yanzhou, his foothold was not stable. As long as he was defeated in the first battle , and then it will collapse for a thousand miles.Therefore, if Cao Cao brings back enough troops, his first task is to help Yuan Shu consolidate Xuzhou, so as to ensure that Yuan Shu and Cao Cao will fight fiercely in the Central Plains.If Cao Cao's strength is too weak to fight against Yuan Shu, then he must use his existing strength to join Cao Cao in attacking Yuan Shu, drag Yuan Shu back to the line of Xu and Yang, and give Cao Cao a period of time to recover his strength.

In addition, regardless of whether we focus on the present or the future, the problem of the imperial lineage must be resolved.Now that the emperor is held hostage by Yuan Shu, the threat to him dominating the Central Plains in the future is too great. In order to ensure his hegemony is successful, he must now threaten Yuan Shu to send the emperor back to Luoyang.

Yuan Shao immediately wrote to Yuan Zhong and Xu You in Liyang, and Wu Zheng and Jiang Qi, who were in charge of transporting grain and grass in the direction of Puyang, immediately withdrew their troops from Chenliu, paid close attention to the situation in the Central Plains, and were ready to attack Yuan Shu to welcome back the emperor at any time.

Yuan Shao also sent a secret letter to Xu You, asking him to meet Yuan Shu immediately.Yuan Shao said in the letter, if Cao Cao is weak, you can tell Yuan Shu that if you don't send the emperor to Luoyang, I will unite with Cao Cao and beat him back to Yangzhou.If Cao Cao is strong and evenly matched with Yuan Shu, you can tell Yuan Shu that as long as he sends the emperor to Luoyang, I will join hands with him to defeat Cao Cao and help him capture the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao also urgently ordered Yuan Wei, Gao Gan, Gao Rou and others to lead the Yuzhou army, and immediately cross the south of the river from Yanjin to join Xu Qiu's army in Runan, and threaten Xu, Pei and Runan from the direction of Liang Guo, Pei Guo and Runan. Yang Liangzhou forced Yuan Shu to bow his head to himself.

At the same time, Yuan Shao urgently told Yuan Xi and Yingchuan Xinpi in Nanyang to station troops secretly in Xinye and Chaoyang. Once they learned of Liu Biao's defeat, they would immediately go south to Xiangyang and control the counties in Jingzhou.

Yuan Shao also wrote to Yuan Tan in Guanzhong that Ma Teng's five thousand cavalry had been defeated on the Dongguang battlefield. Whether Ma Chao could be stabilized at this time was directly related to the safety of Guanzhong.

Ma Teng was powerful in the past, and Yuan Shao shared Guanzhong with him in order to win him over. But now Ma Teng's strength has been greatly weakened, and the balance has been broken. Whether Ma Teng is willing to be subordinate to Yuan Shao, or whether he wants to continue to own half of Guanzhong is unpredictable.Judging from the current situation, due to the victory of the Jizhou War, Hebei's influence on Xiliang will become greater and greater. It is difficult to guarantee that Han Sui will not take the opportunity to say against Ma Teng and join forces with the Northern Xinjiang Army to capture Guanzhong.

For this reason, Yuan Shao repeatedly warned Yuan Tan not to have conflicts with Ma Chao.The Battle of Jizhou caused immeasurable losses to Hebei, and the Northern Army was unable to attack Guanzhong in a short period of time.In addition, Han Sui and Pang De's troops suffered a lot in Guanzhong within a few months in order to hold back their troops in response to the Jizhou battlefield, and they will withdraw from Guanzhong soon. Living in Ma Chao, you can't fall into Hebei's divorce scheme at this moment and plunge Guanzhong into chaos.

Two days later, Yuan Shao left Hanoi and returned to Luoyang.In order to prevent the Northern Xinjiang Army from attacking Hanoi, Yuan Shao ordered Han Qiong, Zhu Ling and Tao Sheng to lead the troops to stay on the front line of Dangyin and Chaoge.

In mid-September, Dongwuyang.

The Northern Xinjiang Army advanced across the board to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Standing on the embankment of the Yellow River with a spear attached to a stick, he looked at this familiar land, at the place where he raised his sword for the first time to fight, and suddenly fell to his knees and cried bitterly.

Four months, four full months, I miraculously survived and returned to this blood-stained land.

Huang Tong looked back at the soldiers behind him, thinking of his brothers who had died along the way, tears burst out.He was about to go home soon, and he brought a hundred brothers out, but only half of them returned home.Thinking of the neighbors standing in the field waiting for their family to return, Huang Tong seemed to see pairs of sad and desperate eyes, as if he heard helpless, sad, heart-piercing cries.Huang Tong hugged his face and sat weakly on the embankment.At this moment, he was ashamed to face his neighbors. He would rather die on the battlefield than see that heartbreaking scene.

Dahei was expressionless, standing quietly among the soldiers who were overjoyed and saddened, silently watching the surging river.

The breeze blew by, quietly rolling up the blood-stained battle flag.Dahei's heart trembled, as if he saw the dead souls weeping in nothingness.The battle is won, the dead have become memories, and the living must live well.

Dahei's thoughts flew back to the countryside, to his own low grass hut.

=

Dumb and several brothers found Dahei.

"I'm leaving." The mute held his hand and said reluctantly, "I don't know when I'll see you after I leave."

Dahei smiled bitterly, and patted the mute's thick shoulder vigorously.

"When you left Kansai, I thought I would never see you again, but who knew..." the mute sighed, "You can go home again."

Dahei nodded, with a happy smile on his face.Yes, I can go home again and reunite with my family.

"What about you?"

"I..." The mute let go of Dahei's hand, looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and shook his head, "I don't know when I can go home, maybe next year, maybe four or five years later, maybe..."

Dahei stretched out his hand and interrupted him, "Okay, okay, don't talk so badly, you will definitely be able to go home alive."

The mute grinned, "There will be no more wars in the future, you and my brothers will meet again."

Zhou Shan stood in front of the map and pointed out the positions of the various armies one by one.

"According to the general's order, starting tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of the seven battalions in Jizhou will return to their respective stations to start resting. In September and early October, after the people of the counties and counties withdrew from the north returned to their hometowns, the soldiers of the seven battalions were disbanded and went home to participate in the autumn festival. kind."

"The Huben and Yueqi battalions of the Northern Army rushed to Handan immediately to assemble."

"The iron cavalry of four adults, Li Su, Gongsun Xu, Lou Lu, and Lu Huanyang, hastened to return to Youzhou." Zhou Shan looked down at the bamboo slips in his hand, then raised his head and said to Li Su, "General, please leave the four adults. Before Jizhou, go to Handan to meet him."

"You guys go with me." Yan Liang interjected at this time, "October is coming soon. According to common sense, it will snow heavily in Liaodong in early December, so it is impossible to suppress the rebellion this year. Don't worry, in Jizhou Stay a little longer and let Ying Qin and Guo Hua take the iron cavalry back first. If there is no accident, Lord Gongsun Zan and Lord Xianyuyin will go south to Jizhou before the end of the year."

Li Su hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, are you not going to fight Qingzhou?"

"Now that you don't have to eat, why do you fight?" Yan Liang scolded dissatisfiedly, "Don't even think about it. From moving out to moving back, it took more than five months for more than 100 million people who moved to the north to eat. How much food was lost? In addition, dozens of counties and counties in the south of Jizhou fell fallow this year because of the war, and there was no harvest in the fields. These more than 100 million people can only rely on relief. The situation will not improve until next spring, so..." He sighed helplessly, "It's not that the court doesn't want to fight, but it can't afford it."

"But..." Li Su hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Yan Liang frowned with thick brows, not arrogant.

"But the Central Plains suffered a severe drought this year, and Yuan Shu is now attacking the Central Plains. Tian Kai died again, and we wiped out the [-] Qingzhou Army. Cao Cao and others have no time to take care of Qingzhou at this time. We can take it easily, so good How can you pass up an opportunity?"

Yan Liang glanced at him, with a rare smile on his face, "Did you stay in Youzhou for too long, haven't you fought a war for a few years, haven't you had fun yet?"

Li Su chuckled, "My lord, give me a month, and I will definitely win Qingzhou."

"Okay." Yan Liang waved his hands happily, "When we arrive in Handan, we urge the general to attack Qingzhou immediately."

Mid-September, Cangting, East County, Yanzhou.

Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei withdrew their troops across the Yellow River and temporarily stationed at Cangting.

The news sent by the scouts made Cao Cao and others very worried.Yuan Shu was ahead of them and surrounded Dong'e, and the army was in a predicament of being cut off from food and grass.

After the army withdrew across the Yellow River, there were still more than 6000 people left in the 7000 Jingzhou Army, more than 7000 people in the 5000 Xuzhou Army, and more than 5000 people in the [-] Yanzhou Army. If Ren Jun, who was responsible for grain and grass, added the [-] Xiahou Dun who went north to rescue, the total force in the Cangting area would be about [-].Although the number of troops exceeded Yuan Shu's, the morale of the army was low, and the food and grass were insufficient, making it impossible to fight at all.

Cao Cao needed time to rest and reorganize his army.In order to guard against Yuan Shu's active attack, Cao Cao ordered the army to go up along the Yellow River and rush to Linyi and Chi (chi) to avoid the front line temporarily.

Gaotang City in Qingzhou Plain County is the Qingzhou Army's food and grass accumulation area. If there is no accident, Zang Ba is now in Gaotang City.Zang Ba fled in front of the battle. If he did not issue an order in time to appease him, he would most likely take away the grain and grass in Gaotang City and flee to the hinterland of Qingzhou. territory.

In order to appease Zang Ba, after Cao Cao crossed the river, the first thing he did was to pardon Zang Ba's crimes in the name of the emperor, and let Liu Bei's meritorious Cao Mi Fang take the imperial edict to Gaotang day and night.

Two days later, Cao Cao led his army to Linyi.At this time, Gaotang City, more than 200 miles away, also sent news.This news made Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei feel mixed.

=

To the great joy of the three, it was not Zang Ba who was stationed in Gaotang City, but Xiahoudun, Li Dian, Wenpin and Huang Zhong.After they were hunted down by Lu Bu near Yimu, they escaped the Dahe Gudu in embarrassment, and collected three thousand remnants along the way.The four people were worried that Pingyuan City had fallen, so they turned to the southeast and fled, crossing the Yellow River near Ande City.Like Cao Cao, they also believed that Zang Ba had fled to Gaotang, but only when they arrived in Gaotang City did they know that Zang Ba hadn't come at all, and they didn't even see a shadow.In addition to the grain and grass here, there are three thousand Qingzhou soldiers who supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

Now that Xiahou Dun is in Gaotang, the problem of food and grass for the army is temporarily solved.If Yuan Shu can be defeated before the end of the month and Dong'a taken back, the army's food and grass will last longer.In October, the army can hunt down Yuan Shu and take back Yanzhou, open up connections with Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and get food and grass support from Xuzhou and Jingzhou.Even if Yuan Shu has already occupied the whole territory of Xuzhou at this time, as long as Liu Biao stays in Yanzhou, Jingzhou's grain and grass will still be transported to Yanzhou continuously.

After regaining Yanzhou, Yuan Shao's attitude is very important, and this is also one of the purposes of Liu Biao's continued stay in Yanzhou.Yuan Shao will definitely be able to escape back to Luoyang, but if Yuan Shao wants to preserve the prestige of the Yuan Clan and maintain his own strength, he must be consistent with Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others, and join hands to defeat the rebel Yuan Shu.

What the three of them were worried about was that Qingzhou would fall into the hands of Zang Ba and the Yellow Turban Army in all likelihood.

Zang Ba did not escape to Gaotang, so he had only one place to go, which was to join the Yellow Turban Army with [-] troops. The Ministry jointly captured Qingzhou.Xiahou Dun was worried that Zang Ba would take the opportunity to wreak havoc in Qingzhou, so he recently sent many scouts to the Taishan area to inquire about news. As he expected, Zang Ba had captured Linzi City a few days ago, while Guan Cheng and Guan Hai were leading the Yellow Turban Army to attack Beihai.

Now that Tian Kai is dead, the entire Qingzhou army has been wiped out.Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others just withdrew from Jizhou, not to mention their strength was greatly damaged, and they had to compete with Yuan Shu for Yanzhou and Xuzhou, so they couldn't afford to take Qingzhou into consideration.A promising big Qingzhou made the Yellow Turban Army cheaper in vain.The Yellow Turban Army wanted to capture Qingzhou from the first year of Chuping (AD 190), and continued to fight for seven years, killing millions of people. Today, it is really unbelievable that they took Qingzhou without any effort.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others could only look up to the sky and sigh.Who knew that Zang Ba would go on the road of rebellion without hesitation in order to survive.

=

It is not terrible that Zang Ba and the Yellow Turban Army occupy Qingzhou. As long as Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei jointly defeat Yuan Shu and take Yangzhou, then Cao Cao and Liu Bei can join forces to attack Qingzhou again.With the strength of the Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army, they will surely be able to win in one fell swoop, but the problem is that by that time, the vitality of Hebei has recovered, and most of the Northern Xinjiang Army are old generals of the Yellow Turbans. He must go to Hebei for rescue, and the Northern Xinjiang Army will take advantage of the trend, and Qingzhou will become Hebei's pocket, and then...

Tian Kai's death in battle and Zang Ba's betrayal dealt a major blow to Cao Cao's strategy of dominating the Central Plains.

In desperation, Cao Cao summoned Liu Biao, Liu Bei and many subordinates to discuss repeatedly, and everyone argued fiercely about whether to send troops to occupy Qingzhou immediately.

Sending troops to Qingzhou now, the timing is very good. Zang Ba and Guan Cheng's Yellow Turban Army can be defeated with a small price, but how will Hebei react?Will the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Yellow Turban Army attack back and forth?How would Yuan Shao react?Will they team up with Yuan Shu to occupy the Central Plains?
In this battle of Jizhou, although the Northern Xinjiang Army suffered little losses, Hebei's wealth has reached its limit.Hebei's wealth is mainly produced in Jizhou, and the place of the war is in Jizhou. This is a fatal blow to Hebei's wealth. It will not be possible for Hebei to turn around in two or three years.Li Hong lured the enemy to go deep and kept the military force in northern Xinjiang, but he couldn't keep the wealth in Hebei.However, compared to the northern army going south to fight in the Central Plains, Li Hong still made money. At any rate, the northern army's force loss was not great. As long as they had money and food, the northern army would be able to rush down immediately.

It is precisely because of this that no matter Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, or Liu Bei, they all want to use this limited few years to attack each other and quickly expand their own strength.If Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army were trapped in the Qingzhou battlefield, and the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers joined forces to occupy the Central Plains, then today's battle would be in vain.

Cao Cao can't give up Qingzhou, let alone the Central Plains. What countermeasures can he take at this time to ensure that he can dominate the Central Plains and ensure the prosperity of the Han Dynasty?

=

Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Guo Jia and others, after a long period of debate, finally tended to appease Zang Ba, and issued an order in the name of the Son of Heaven, worshiping Zang Ba as the general of Weilu, leading Qingzhou Shepherd, and enfeoffing him as Marquis of Qi. He pulled him to his side and pushed him to the opposite side of Hebei.It is better to add a friend to yourself than to add an opponent to yourself.

Zang Ba has not yet gained a foothold in Qingzhou.He had to guard against the northern border army crossing the river, and also guarded against Cao Cao and Liu Bei's flanking attack from the west and south. He was in constant panic. At this time, he suddenly offered him a general and a marquis, and admitted that he was sitting in Qingzhou. Zang Ba's mentality It is conceivable that he must be grateful to Cao Cao.In this way, Cao Cao can easily obtain a loyal ally, regain control of Qingzhou, and easily solve the disaster of the Yellow Turban that has plagued the Central Plains for several years.If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army can disappear because of this, it will be self-evident for Cao Cao to dominate the Central Plains.

Hebei has always been a stranger to Zang Ba, and is also very angry about Zang Ba's participation in the attack on Jizhou. Confrontation, Hebei is bound to regard him as a rebel who must be killed.In this way, the enmity between the two sides will become deeper and deeper, and Zang Ba will get closer and closer to Cao Cao just like Tian Kai in the past.

Most of Zang Ba's subordinates were the former leaders of the Yellow Turban Army. Cao Cao could promote them in the name of the emperor and give them money and rewards. On the contrary, Hebei could not do this.Zhang Yan used to be the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, and his reputation in the Yellow Turban Army was at its peak, but now he is just the right general of the Jinyang court.Yang Feng, Sun Qin, Wang Dang and others are nothing more than generals with miscellaneous titles, and Yu Du, the leader of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, is now just a middle base lieutenant.Zang Ba's qualifications cannot be compared with Zhang Yan's at all, and the qualifications of Zang Ba's subordinates are far from Yang Feng, Sun Qin and others.In this case, what official position can Hebei give Zang Ba?Can Zang Ba's subordinates be made generals?With this alone, Cao Cao can firmly hold Zang Ba in his hands.

But suddenly turning one of Liu Bei's subordinates into a big official sitting in the leadership, will Liu Bei feel that he has lost his face?For this reason, Cao Cao and Liu Biao found Liu Bei on purpose, and sat down and talked for a long time.When this happens, no one is happy.Liu Bei is no exception, but this matter involves the great cause of ZTE, and personal honor and disgrace are nothing.Liu Bei immediately nodded in agreement.Thinking of Zang Ba's transformation from the leader of the Yellow Turban Army to the captain of the cavalry, from the captain of the cavalry to the veritable Kou Shuai, and now from the Kou Shuai to the general who led the party, and was ennobled as Marquis of Qi, Liu Bei felt Things are really unpredictable and unpredictable.

Because of the importance of this matter, Cao Cao specially asked Xun Yu and Mi Fang to rush to Linzi to announce the decree.

For the time being, there is a contingency plan for the Qingzhou matter, and now we are waiting for Xiahou Dun to transport grain and grass from Gaotang to launch a counterattack against Yuan Shu.

In mid-September, Handan.

When Yan Liang walked into the big tent, he found that the atmosphere inside the big tent was very dignified, completely different from the festive atmosphere outside the big tent.

In the big tent, there are only 13 people including Li Hong, Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, Yan Rou, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhong Yao, Tian Chou, Jia Xu, Fu Gan, Chen Qun, Yuan Huan, and Sima Yi. They all rest in other military tents in Xingyuan.

Yan Liang and everyone saluted one by one, then sat next to Yan Rou, and whispered: "Ziyu, you are late, the battle is over."

Yan Rou forced a smile, "I ran fast enough, but compared to you, I was still a bit slower, and I didn't catch up."

"Are you going back right away?"

Yan Rou shook her head, "Since we're here, we have to fight."

Yan Liang immediately became excited, "Are you fighting Qingzhou?"

There was a trace of murderous look in Yan Rou's eyes, but she didn't answer.

Li Hong lightly tapped the table.Yan Liang wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw Fu Gan standing up, he had to keep his mouth shut.

=

Fu Gan described in detail the record losses and successes and failures of the Jizhou War in the past four months.

Since the rebels launched the attack in mid-May, they have gone through 27 battles in four months, annihilating more than [-] enemies and losing more than [-] themselves. The main damage came from the early blocking battle.The losses in the encirclement and annihilation battles in the later period increased. The main reason was that the armies resolutely killed and refused to take prisoners, which caused the rebels to resist stubbornly and increased the casualties of soldiers.

In terms of the final result of the war, the pre-war goal was basically achieved.Due to various reasons at the end of the war, the situation on the battlefield was a little out of control, but with the concerted efforts of the soldiers in the northern border, they still completely defeated the opponent.

Tian Chou went on to talk about the money, food and military equipment consumed in the war and the status quo of the court's wealth. He asked the soldiers and horses of the seven battalions in Jizhou to obey the imperial edict and the general's order, return to the station as soon as possible to disband the soldiers, and invest in autumn seeds as soon as possible to reduce the court's wealth. burden.

Zhong Yao explained the relocation of more than 100 million people, the implementation of relief and the organization of autumn planting.Regarding the need to allocate more fields to the Seventh Battalion of Jizhou in order to recruit soldiers to replenish their strength, it will also be reported to the court in the near future.Zhong Yao reminded the general again and again that the land in Jizhou is limited and overcrowded, so it must be expanded outwards.

=

Li Hong's expression was always serious, and after Zhong Yao finished speaking, he immediately turned his attention to Yan Liang, "Zi Shan, you made the killing order?"

Yan Liang hummed and nodded without any explanation.

Li Hong stared at Yan Liang fiercely, obviously very dissatisfied.Yan Liang raised his head and looked at the ceiling without saying a word.

"The Battle of Dongguang and the Battle of Fengting are both your masterpieces." Li Hong sneered, then turned to look at Zhao Yun, "Who gave the order to reject the prisoners in the Battle of Sanshangting?"

Zhao Yun's face was slightly red, and he was about to explain a few words, but when he saw Yan Liang glaring at him, he hurriedly took the words back.

"Such bloodthirsty, can you be famous all over the world? Can you deter rebellion?" Li Hong slapped the table with his palm and said angrily, "Master Duan Jiong was in Xijiang, Lord Huangfu was in Jizhou, and Lord Zhu Jun was in Nanyang. , killing Yingye, did you ever solve the Qiang rebellion? Did you ever wipe out the Yellow Turban Army?"

Li Hong suddenly grabbed a roll of bamboo slips on the case table, and smashed them to the ground, "Master Gongsun is bloodthirsty, and he has rebelled against Liaodong Karasuma, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is getting worse. This is the result of liking bloody massacres."

Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Yan Liang all rushed to Xingyuan with their subordinates today, and they were all shocked when they heard the news suddenly.

Yan Rou's eyes turned red, and she suddenly covered her face.

Li Hong shook his head and sighed miserably, "Master Gongsun died in battle."
