If people really cared so much about whether the people lived well, the world would not be like this now.
Gongsun Zan believed in only one thing: in troubled times, only those with strong fists can speak with reason.
The people are nothing more than a group of ants that he constantly exploits.
"Stop the troops!"
"No one is allowed to act rashly!"
"My Lord, you have ordered us to stop the troops immediately!"
Outside the city, seeing the road ahead full of people running around, Liu Yu immediately ordered the army to stop marching to avoid hurting these panicked people.
Dozens of cavalrymen galloped wildly among the huge group.
However, their speed would not be enough to notify the entire army as soon as possible.
When some Hu people saw the people blocking the road, they immediately drew their sabers and drove them away.
"Go away!"
"Don't block the road. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being merciless with my saber!"
These Hu cavalrymen did not disobey Liu Yu's orders. Although they drew their swords, it was only for intimidation.
But the people don’t know.
The Hu people were always vicious, and when they saw them draw their swords, they immediately panicked.
"Run!"
"Killed!"
"Help! The barbarians are coming to kill us!"
Shouts of panic and violence rang out, and the entire area outside Yijing City was in chaos.
"The barbarians are coming to kill us!"
"Run!"
The people screamed and wailed as if their parents had died.
This scene stunned the Hu people.
Who killed someone?
Who killed someone!
defamation!
They slandered us!
The living habits and ideological concepts of the Hu people outside the Great Wall are actually very different from those of the Han people.
They lived in different tribes, and although it seemed that their entire ethnic group was called Xianbei, Xiongnu, or Wuhuan, in fact, each tribe was very independent.
This also means that even if a powerful person appears on the grassland, he can only achieve unification in a very short period of time, and then it will split again.
The reason is that each tribe just wants to survive.
They are not soldiers in name only, but more like a hunting group to help the people in the tribe survive better.
The appearance of Liu Yu greatly improved the living conditions of the Hu people near Youzhou, allowing them to live well.
Their relationship with Liu Yu is like that between the anchor and the top guy in the live broadcast room.
Have you ever seen a female anchor being disrespectful to the top guy on the list?
Therefore, they had great respect for Liu Yu.
Since Liu Yu ordered them not to harass the people, they naturally would not disobey Liu Yu.
What if Liu Yu is unhappy and the rich man stops giving rewards to their tribe in the future?
"what's the situation!"
"Did someone harm the people?"
Liu Yu sat on his horse and looked ahead, frowning and asking.
"I will go and take a look."
Xian Yuyin flicked the whip and rode his horse forward.
Soon, he saw a group of Hu people standing there stupidly with scimitars in their hands.
"No, Huyeda, what are you doing?"
Xian Yuyin looked at a tribal leader and asked.
"General, we don't know either."
"They were blocking the road, so we just threatened them with knives. We didn't hurt anyone, not even a hair."
Huyeda spread his hands and explained with an innocent look on his face.
"You wait here and keep the men of your clan in check. Don't act rashly for now."
Xian Yuyin saw that there was indeed no blood on these people's knives, so he gave an order.
Xian Yuyin rode back to the central army on horseback and told Liu Yu what had happened.
"what?"
"Alas...what should I do?"
Liu Yu had never encountered such a situation before, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Ming Gong, the army cannot remain stationary like this. Otherwise, if Gongsun Zan leads his army in a surprise attack, our army will surely be defeated."
"We should immediately send troops to drive the people away and not let them flee indiscriminately."
Cheng Xu, an official, bowed and reminded him.
"No!"
"The people are innocent. They are all my people. How could I harm them?"
Liu Yu righteously rejected Cheng Xu's suggestion.
"Ming Gong!"
"Please think twice, my lord!"
"Gongsun Zan is a veteran of many battles. We must not give him a chance!"
"If this continues, our army will undoubtedly be defeated!"
Cheng Xu shouted a little excitedly.
"presumptuous!"
"I have an army of 100,000. How dare Gongsun Zan leave the city?"
"Stop talking, or you'll disrupt our morale!"
Liu Yu looked furious and immediately scolded.
"Master Yong!!"
"You mediocre Lord!"
"The civilians are innocent, but the soldiers are not innocent too?"
Cheng Xu was so angry at Liu Yu's soft-heartedness that he pointed at Liu Yu's nose and cursed him.
"Come here, this man is disrupting our army's morale, kill him immediately!"
Liu Yu was furious and shouted loudly.
Disrupting military morale is a serious crime.
Although Liu Yu was kind to the people, he served as an official for many years and was promoted to important positions such as Governor of Youzhou, Prime Minister of Ganling, Minister of the Chancellery, Guanglu Xun, Zongzheng, and Governor of Youzhou.
In official business, he is very impartial.
Therefore, even though Cheng Xu was his own ally, he executed him without mercy to restore the morale of the army.
Next, the people fled a little, and Liu Yu's army moved forward a little.
It was clearly only a few miles away from Yijing, but they couldn't reach it in an hour. This not only completely wiped out the soldiers' fighting spirit and morale, but also made them hungry and thirsty.
And who is Gongsun Zan?
Liu Yu valued benevolence and righteousness, but Gongsun Zan never cared about these things.
"Liu Yu, you are courting death!"
"Don't blame me!"
"Come on, follow me out of the city!"
Seeing that Liu Yu's army was hesitating and even had low morale, Gongsun Zan's face suddenly showed a fierce look.
The west gate of Yijing was wide open, and Gongsun Zan led his only 1,000 cavalrymen out of the city from the side, avoiding the eyes of Liu Yu's army.
The cavalry quickly reached the flank of Liu Yu's army and began to move very quickly.
It is now the spring plowing season, and the people are fleeing all the way. The roads and roadside are full of dry weeds accumulated during the plowing and farming during this period.
"call!"
"set fire!"
"Burn them!"
Gongsun Zan took out a fire starter, blew on it, and immediately flames burst out of the bamboo tube.
"set fire!"
"Set fire!"
Gongsun Zan's more than a thousand soldiers immediately took out their fire starters.
The hay was set on fire by the tinder.
The dry weeds were almost ignited at this moment.
And because the spring is dry and the wind is strong, the fire spreads very quickly.
The fire was fanned by the wind, and the dry weeds on the ground became the best fuel.
The flames quickly grew to several meters high and swept towards Liu Yu's army at an extremely fast speed.
Herod——
"Shut up!"
"brute!!"
"Oh no, it's on fire!!"
"Run!"
"Quick, run!"
"on fire!"
"If we don't run now, it will be too late. Boys, retreat quickly!"
The huge fire rushed towards them, and the Hu people immediately fell into chaos.
The horses were frightened by the fire and ran rampant on the battlefield.
Before Gongsun Zan could even start fighting, countless casualties had already occurred among his 100,000-strong army.
"Ming Gong!"
"Ming Gong, we can't fight anymore, let's retreat!"
Xianyu Yin was helpless when he saw this situation, and immediately protected Liu Yu and ran away.
"What can't be fought?"
"I haven't even started fighting yet, how come I can't fight now?"
"How did this fire come about? Hurry, put out the fire!"
Liu Yu couldn't believe that he was defeated like this and started shouting immediately.
"It's too late, my lord. The army has been defeated."
"I've already told you not to care about the people."
"Run, retreat back to Youzhou!"
"Come, hurry up, help Ming Gong retreat!"
Xianyu Yin grabbed Liu Yu's reins, turned the horse around, and kicked the horse on the butt.
"kill!!"
"Liu Yu was defeated!"
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
Gongsun Zan held a double-edged spear and galloped on his horse.
More than a thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind him.
A scene that shocked countless people appeared.
A thousand cavalrymen chased and attacked a hundred thousand people, but the hundred thousand people didn't even dare to fight back.
Dong Yu almost cried with envy when he learned about this.
Why don't I meet such a stupid opponent?
He also wants a thousand people to chase and chop down a hundred thousand people!
By then, his glorious deeds will surely be recorded in history books.
