The leader died in the battle, and nearly 20,000 foreign cavalry collapsed on the spot. Liu Bei then arranged for 3,000 of his cavalry to chase him north.
Although they could not completely wipe out the enemy, they still caused heavy casualties, beheading 2,000 people and capturing more than 6,000 troops and horses.
He also recaptured all the people and materials that the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes had plundered, and returned with a great victory.
At this time, Yan Rou's army was two days away from the foreign cavalry. When they were rushing to Jixian, they suddenly encountered the defeated Wuhuan cavalry and fled.
Yan Rou and other generals were shocked. He caught a clan leader and asked, "What's happening ahead! Where is King Wuhuanqiao!"
The man said in horror: "The king has been beheaded by the immortals. Our army has been defeated by Liu Bei's army. If we don't escape, it will be too late!"
Yan Rou stopped several people one after another, and it took him a long time to ask clearly what happened, but she stood there blankly.
"Yan Sima, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired! No matter what happens to Liu Bei's army, this time we can only fight with him outside Jixian!"
Xian Yufu saw the key point at a glance. At this time, there was no way out but a decisive battle.
Yan Rou gripped the spear tightly, nodded, and looked at the many wealthy private soldiers under her command. They were the only ones she could rely on now.
But Yan Rou was still anxious, because his parents, wife and children were all in Jixian. If Liu Bei had entered Jixian at this time, he might have fallen into his hands.
Is it worth sacrificing my family to avenge Liu Yu?
Xian Yufu seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and came over to comfort him during the march: "Yan Sima, it is said that Liu Bei is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. If he loves feathers, he will definitely not kill your family members, otherwise he will not be laughed at by the world.
"
After hearing this, Yan Rou felt a little better, urged the march, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Jixian County at noon the next day.
At this time, the Mao Jin Dao and Liu character flags were hung at the head of Jixian City.
Liu Bei, wearing his helmet and armor, appeared calmly on top of the city. He looked at Yan Rou and others and asked, "Yan Sima, why did you raise an army to rebel against our Youzhou?"
Yan Rou waved her halberd and said: "Gongsun is a thief who went out into force and killed Liuzhou's pastors and massacred the nobles and common people. God will punish him! We are just following the destiny of God!"
Liu Bei chuckled and said, "According to the destiny? Collaborating with foreign tribes, plundering my people, and robbing my wealth, is this also called complying with the destiny?"
Yan Judao: "Urgent things must be dealt with in extraordinary ways! Mr. Liu, I advise you not to help Zhou to do evil. Join us in defeating Gongsun Zan, and we will ensure your great future!"
Zhang Fei stood up and said: "How can my brother's future be protected by villains like you! We have recovered all the people's materials that Hu Ma robbed. If you allow Hu Ma to plunder, you will follow the laws of the imperial court."
We should also kill all nine tribes!"
Guan Yu said: "Yan Rou, your parents, wife and children have now fallen into the hands of our army. If you know your filial piety and justice, you should take the initiative to surrender and accept the punishment!"
The faces of Xian Yufu and others changed dramatically. They approached Yan Rou and tried to persuade her. Yan Rou raised her hand to stop her, then pointed to the city head. Without any more nonsense, she slowly uttered two words, "Arrange and attack the city!"
Liu Bei unified his army and fought with the enemy under the city.
Yan Rou and others were overjoyed, but in the actual battle, they found that the two sides were not on the same level in terms of command and sergeant strength.
From the very beginning, Yan Rou and other 40,000 troops were suppressed by Liu Bei's 20,000 infantrymen leaving the city, and the front line continued to sink.
The two generals Guan and Zhang are both enemies of ten thousand people, and the strength of a single person is not inferior to that of Xu Yin.
The two sides fought fiercely from noon to dusk, and the morale of Yan Rou's army was low.
At this moment, a cavalry force of 6,000 people had already circled back behind them.
Liu Bei originally only had 3,000 cavalry. After gathering the Wuhuan and Xianbei troops, he selected 3,000 soldiers capable of riding and fighting and reorganized them into 6,000 light cavalry.
At this time, Qingqi broke through the formation from behind, and the front was squeezed by Liu Bei's elite troops. In an instant, the 40,000-strong army was defeated, and the entire army was chased around like sheep.
In this battle, Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou and other Youzhou nobles all died in this battle.
More than half of the entire army was killed and wounded. The cavalry and light infantry pursued them all the way to Yuyang and captured most of them.
Then Jia Xu, as the army commander, led his army to Yuyang. According to Liu Bei and Xu Yin's original plan, he used the people who were looted and massacred in Yuyang as an excuse to take action, and also to pursue the Yan family, Xianyu family, Qi family, etc.
Responsible for the rebellion of the six powerful families, the Wubao manors of the six powerful families in Yuyang and other places were destroyed, and a large number of people were liberated.
Kongming then appeased the people, distributed the land, and reestablished production.
At this time, because many of the other noble clans had contributed private soldiers to participate in the battle, Liu Bei was anxious and uneasy, but Liu Bei only accepted his troops and issued a notice that he would no longer hold the first offender and others accountable. This made the rest of the country
The less powerful powerful men breathed a sigh of relief and respected Liu Bei even more.
By this time, all their elite private soldiers had been wiped out, and the strength of the noble clans in Youzhou had declined greatly, finally meeting Xu Yin's basic conditions.
However, there is still one condition that has not been met at this time.
Although Liu Bei put down the rebellion, established his prestige, and won the hearts of the people, even though he himself was from Youzhou, he was not the nominal ruler of Youzhou after all. If he wanted to fully control Youzhou, there were still some unjustifiable reasons for his name.
People with this name are currently wreaking havoc and killing in Jizhou.
Xu Yin left a letter, informing Kong Ming that Youzhou was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized, and asked him to try his best to assist Liu Bei. Xu Yin would go to Jizhou. If everything goes well, the situation in the world would be clear.
At this time in Xindu City, Jushou looked at the inner city with a gloomy expression, which had become the emperor's temporary residence.
Of course, the emperor in Jushu's heart was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not Yuan Shu, a rebel and traitor.
Some time ago, he led his troops to fight Gongsun Zan, but was outnumbered and defeated, so he retreated to the vicinity of Xindu.
At this time, he had made up his mind that in fighting foreign affairs, he must first stabilize his country. He had to get rid of Yuan Shu before he could concentrate all his efforts on dealing with Gongsun Zan. Otherwise, the longer it was delayed, the greater the damage Gongsun Zan would do to Jizhou.
At this time, he had concentrated all his troops and even called Lu Bu over.
"Fengxian, after days of fierce fighting, Yuan Shu's subordinates are severely lacking in troops. One of his generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, was killed and wounded. It depends on you whether you can break through the barrier today, save the emperor, and eradicate the traitors."
Lu Bu chuckled proudly, and there was a head hanging on the side of the horse. It was Wen Chou's.
There was a fierce battle yesterday. Yuan Shu led his troops out of the inner city, intending to break through the central army and take Ju Shou's head.
However, they did not expect that Lu Bu's army would attack from the side, and a single charge disrupted his long-planned army.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou had no choice but to step forward to stop him, but they were no match for Lu Bu, who seemed to be possessed by a demon. Yan Liang escorted Yuan Shu back to the inner city, while Wen Chou blocked the rear.
As a result, the army was surrounded by Ju Shou's troops. During the melee, Lu Bu fought fiercely with them, destroying almost half of the residential buildings in the city. Wen Chou was defeated and his head was beheaded, which became Lu Bu's trophy.
He looked at the uncertain barrier in the inner city and sneered, "Why break the city? Don't forget to promise me after Jubie's driving. You will replace the soldiers I lost in the battle and declare me Bingzhou Mu!"
"
Lu Bu, who was born in Bingzhou, now also knows that to conquer the world, he needs a solid base. At this time, Bingzhou is under the control of the Jizhou gentry. If he can obtain Bingzhou, with his local prestige, he will definitely reach a new peak in his career.
