The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

It stands to reason that to break out in one direction, one person must be left behind to prevent the breakout army from being attacked in front and behind. Unfortunately, none of them can kill each other, and they all want to survive. In the end, they can only charge together. It depends on who can get out.

The Xianbei people don't have war horses, so their combat power has dropped drastically, and they have been traveling all day and night. Now they can run because of their instinct to escape. The [-] Xianbei people have no combat power now, how can they rush out of the Han people who are recharging elite.

As a result, there were no surprises. Most of the [-] Xianbei died in the battle, and more than [-] people knelt down and surrendered. Nie Zhu and Pu Tou were killed by Pang De, and Li Ji was left alive. A bloody massacre ended in less than a quarter of an hour.

At the end of the war, among the 20 grassland army brought by Qiu Liju, only Liu Bao fled back to the grassland with more than [-] people. Even Qiu Liju himself was hacked to death by Zhang Fei. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out.

"Killed 8 Xianbei soldiers and horses, captured [-], obtained [-] horses, and countless scimitars, bows and arrows."

"Kill Qiu Liju, the leader of the enemy, and more than [-] leaders, big and small, of Xianbei."

"Liu Bao, the leader of the Xiongnu, fled with more than [-] people and headed northwest."

"..."

The final statistics of the battle results made people feel blood boiled, annihilating 15 enemy troops, which can be described as a big victory. The most important thing is that their own losses were slight.

"In the Battle of Xinping, 820 soldiers died in the battle, most of them were forward soldiers..."

The forward soldiers and horses, that is, the five thousand forwards brought by Zhang Xiu, suffered heavy losses in order to slow down Qiu Liju's pace, especially the hunting team sent by Zhang Xiu, who were outnumbered by the rangers of Xianbei. and died.

"Ziming, give me three thousand cavalrymen, and I'll cut off Liu Bao's dog's head." Zhang Fei was very upset when Liu Bao escaped.

"Third brother, don't worry." Chen Ziming stopped Zhang Fei and said, "The situation in the grassland is delicate now, and Liu Bao needs to go back and muddy the water in the grassland."

Chapter 485

The reason why Chen Ziming let Liu Bao attack the Xianbei camp alone was to let Liu Bao leave. First of all, Xianbei still has a huge advantage in the grassland. Qiu Liju dominates the grassland and has annexed many tribes. It's not small, and when Qiu Liju was in the unified grassland, he kept suppressing other alien races, making the Xianbei clan the dominant family on the grassland.

Especially the Huns, why did the Huns, who used to be so powerful, fall to such a state that they couldn’t afford to lose tens of thousands of soldiers? Wasn’t it because Qiu Liju was afraid that the Huns would rise again, so when they unified the grasslands, they massacred The Huns.

Compared with the times when the Xiongnu were strong and prosperous, today's Xiongnu clan can be said to have no one in ten, especially men, who are the main targets of massacres by Qiu Liju, which has resulted in the scarcity of males of the Huns.

Even if Qiu Liju died in Liangzhou now and lost 15 elites, the Huns are still no match for Xianbei, even if there is no unified Xianbei, it is not something the Huns can resist today.

Only a capable leader leading the Huns can have a chance to survive and withstand Xianbei's attack, and Liu Bao is the one Chen Ziming needs to lead the Huns to survive.

The grassland cannot be unified, at least until the Central Plains are unified, the grassland needs to continue to be chaotic, otherwise a unified grassland will pose too much threat to the Central Plains, just like this time, if there is no such cannon fodder as Qiu Liju, it is not so easy for Cao Cao to take Jingyang Easy, even if you take Jingyang, your own loss will make Cao Cao feel distressed.

But in the end, Cao Cao took Jingyang without a single soldier, and when there was a problem with his food and grass, Chen Ziming couldn't spare his hands to deal with Cao Cao, but spent countless manpower and material resources to deal with Qiu Liju.

Without Qiu Liju, Chen Ziming was confident that he would drive them out of Liangzhou and re-open the roads between Liangzhou and Bingzhou before Cao Cao's food and grass were in place.

But now, because Qiu Liju, the cannon fodder, slowed down Chen Ziming's pace, Cao Cao was able to calmly mobilize food and grass from Nanyang and make preparations.

If it weren't for Qiu Liju's Xianbei army looting around Liangzhou, Chen Ziming had no time to take care of Cao Cao. Otherwise, even if Cao Cao mobilized enough food and grass, whether he dared to continue to attack would be another matter.

After all, once the road between Liangzhou and Bingzhou is opened, it is still no problem to transfer one or two legions to Liangzhou. Yizhou has a good harvest of grain, and Liu Bei's grain and grass problem has been initially resolved.

"I just received an urgent report from the dark guards. The food and grass mobilized by Cao Cao from Nanyang has arrived. Cao Cao's army is out of martial arts and heading towards Hanxing. Yu Jin also threw a hundred thousand troops out of Tongguan and coming towards Hanxing. Cao Cao is ready. That's right." Chen Ziming said: "Fortunately, the Xianbei army has been wiped out, and we can deal with Cao Cao wholeheartedly."

"Prime Minister, more than 5 Xianbei prisoners were captured in this battle. There are no soldiers and horses guarding them, and there may be trouble." The [-] Xianbei prisoners were detained in Xinping City. As the county magistrate of Xinping City, this threat must be eliminated.

"5 people is indeed a threat, but when Cao Cao's army invades, I can't leave too many soldiers and horses to guard them." Chen Ziming frowned secretly, [-] prisoners, and they were all Xianbei people, if there is no absolute force to guard, there will definitely be trouble .

But what he lacks most now is manpower. Cao Cao dispatched an army of 20 to attack. Now he only has [-] soldiers and horses at full strength. surrender.

"In this way, all the big and small bosses among the Xianbei people will be found out, and they will be executed secretly. No matter how small the boss is, as long as they are bosses, they will be found out. Without a wolf, this group of Xianbei people is a flock of sheep."

"And brainwash them, let them work hard, wash away their sins, repent and repent, they will survive, have food to eat, and as long as they behave well, they can be released back to the grassland to reunite with their families."

"Bring some Xianbei people among the captives, monitor them from the inside, and if anyone has a tendency to take the lead, they will be executed secretly."

"Three meals a day are provided on time, but only those who behave well can be full, and those who behave the worst only have one bite of rice, as long as they don't starve to death."

"Gongwei, I will give you [-] elites, and you will organize another [-] strong men to guard these captives and take them to build roads so that they have no time to think about other things."

After Chen Ziming arranged for the captives, he led the army back to Qinchuan, where the main battlefield was. Chen Ziming was going to fight Cao Cao in Qinchuan to turn the world upside down.As for Meng Jian, guarding the captives was the best candidate, and also the only one.

With Meng Jian's ability, he will definitely be reused in the future, and his credit for saving the lives of tens of thousands of people in Xinping County is enough to be valued by Liu Bei, and his future achievements are limitless.

"waste."

When Cao Cao learned that the entire Xianbei army was wiped out and that the casualties to Chen Ziming were less than [-], he whispered a piece of trash without any other words. In Cao Cao's view, Qiu Liju was just cannon fodder, but The effect of this cannon fodder is too small, far from achieving the goal Cao Cao hoped for.

"Chen Ziming's talent is rare in the world. Qiu Liju's ability to hold Chen Ziming for such a long time is already very good." Xi Zhicai smiled slightly. If it was him against the Xianbei army led by Qiu Liju, he was confident that he would be able to wipe it all out. , not worse than Chen Ziming.

"Chen Ziming..." Cao Cao heard Xi Zhicai's words, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and finally faced Chen Ziming again.

At this time Hua Yun came out and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, Nanyang is far away from Liangzhou. It is not easy to transport food and grass, and the journey consumes a lot. Now it is really difficult to supply the food and grass needed by 20 troops."

"Send a letter to Wen Ruo, and he will be fully responsible for the dispatch of food and grass for the Northern Expedition Army." Now Cao Cao has handed over this problem to Xun Yu, who believes that Xun Yu has the ability to guarantee all the food and grass needs of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Sure enough, after receiving Cao Cao's order, Xun Yu opened up a road from Nanyang to Tongguan to transport grain. Wherever the grain transport team passed, the local government provided three meals, and the grain needed was collected on the spot.

Although this put a lot of pressure on the place, especially when the people were oppressed again, it greatly reduced the consumption on the way of transporting grain and ensured the grain and grass demand of the 20 army marching north, so that Cao Cao, who had no worries about the future, could Deal with Chen Ziming wholeheartedly.

"Report..."

Chen Ziming had just rushed back to Qinchuan, but before he could sit still, an urgent report came.

"Wen Yuan has already fought against the vanguard sent by Yu Jin. Although Yu Jin's vanguard was repelled, Yu Jin's [-] troops arrived later, and Cao Cao's [-] troops are not far from Hanxing." Chen Ziming read the emergency report. , frowned and thought, and then ordered: "Order Zhang Liao, abandon Hanxing, return to Qinchuan quickly, and join us."

486章 周瑜献计

"Lu Ji is incompetent, mistaken Jiangdong for me!"

The news of the annihilation of the Jiangdong Navy finally came back, and it came back from Liu Bei. None of the Jiangdong Navy escaped back. At first, Sun Quan didn't believe it, but after a while, Sun Quan had to believe it, because his Jiangdong Navy There has been no news, and it has been swallowed by the sea.

"Send a letter to uncle, and arrest Lu's family." The furious Sun Quan prepared to implicate Lu Ji's family to relieve his hatred.

"No." Zhang Hong immediately objected: "My lord, the Lu family is a big clan in Jiangdong, with a very high reputation, so don't move lightly, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of other big clans. If so, everyone in Jiangdong is in danger, so why do you want to work for the lord?"

"Of course, my lord..."

Sun Quan's order was not sent out, and there were too many people who opposed it. The Lu family has been in Jiangdong for so long, and the relationship network is spread everywhere. Moreover, as a family, other families will watch the Lu family be destroyed by those in power.

If the Lu family is destroyed, it will be difficult for other families to escape if they make mistakes in the future. Therefore, regardless of whether they are related to the Lu family or not, they will stand up to protect the Lu family. To protect the Lu family is to protect their own family.

Seeing the rare concerted efforts of the people below, Sun Quan felt uncomfortable for a while, but he had no choice but to support him here. Without these people, he, Sun Quan, would not be able to control Jiangdong.

"Jiangdong's navy is completely wiped out, and Liu Bei is invincible above the sea, but the coast of Jiangdong is empty, so we must guard against it. Do you have a clever plan?" Sun Quan had to change the subject, and the question of guilt was left alone.

"My lord." Zhang Hong stood up and said, "The coast of Jiangdong stretches for thousands of miles. If it means defense, it is really difficult. If there is no navy, Liu Bei's navy cannot resist Jiangdong from the sea. It is the best policy to ask my lord to rebuild the Jiangdong navy."

Jiangdong shipping has already started. Since Jiangdong established the navy, shipping has not stopped, because the navy is in the hands of the Jiangdong clan. They know the advantages and benefits of shipping. As the Jiangdong clan, how are they willing to give up such a large benefit.

"It's not easy." Sun Quan said weakly: "Building a navy requires powerful sea-going ships, and Liu Bei has mastered the art of building sea-going ships. Although Jiangdong can build sea-going ships, they are all small boats. The warships of Liu Bei's navy are no match. It's useless, it's a waste of money."
