Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 343 Cao Cao: T_T
In September of the sixth year of Jian'an, Qu Yi's troops marched along the Xinzheng and Changshe lines and reached Xudu.

The main force was the Yellow Turban Army, which relied on the tactics of "encouraging the people, overdrafting manpower, and forming a sea of ​​​​people" along the way. It seemed to snowball, and by the time it reached Xudu, there were nearly 10 people!

Sounds pretty scary?
In fact, the manpower consumed is about the same as that of [-] regular troops, and there is no need for training at all - not because they are elite, but because... training is of little use.

The main battlefield formations include the three moves of "swarming up", "scattering birds and beasts" and "pig suddenly and wolf rush"...

This is also the typical Yellow Turban style tactics during the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
In the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, tens of thousands or even 10,000+ Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared. Generally, the standing garrison in a county is only two to three thousand, and there may be more places for special garrisons...

The troops of the Han Dynasty were all stunned when they came up!
Even the imperial court began to encourage local people with lofty ideals to strive to be diligent kings and brave people, and to actively save themselves. Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others all shined at that time.

It wasn't until the imperial court stabilized its position and really started to deploy troops and generals and organize to quell the chaos that they discovered how capable these Yellow Turbans were!
A regular Han army that will not be easily intimidated by numbers can defeat the Yellow Turban army five times its size at a very small cost. If you have elite soldiers and strong generals, you can try ten times or even more.

Later, the number of yellow turban wrestlers increased, and the different concubines of the Huangtian family could be used at every turn. Although they didn't do any direct damage, they could summon some mist and black smoke, light wind and light rain, and they could also heal themselves with talisman water... It’s truly a tough nut to crack!
Tao Sheng does not have Huang Tianji, so he can only use the same tactics as in the early days of the Yellow Turban Army.

It will cause great damage to the manpower, material resources, and productivity of the location, and you will be proud if you win consecutively, and you will collapse once you lose...but it is really useful in the short term!

In particular, although the Yellow Turban warriors are insufficient, they have the Euphorbia warriors as sharp swords.

Xu Dou has Xun Yu around, so originally there wouldn't be any opportunities for these rabble to take advantage of, but Xu Dou still has internal conflicts that can't be resisted!

The night Xun Yu learned the news, he ordered a curfew to be strictly enforced, and Xu Duwei could directly kill anyone who took to the streets for no reason.

Even because Xun Yu was usually regarded as the prime minister's house, he was more protective of the dignity of the Han Dynasty - before, because Cao Cao was "drunk" at a banquet, Xun Yu had even privately approached Cao Cao for remonstrance - so when the Yellow Turban Army came to Xudu That night, Liu Xie also summoned Xun Yu into the palace.

If it were any other person from the Prime Minister's Palace, Liu Xie would not want to try...

No one would go to the palace at this time - how did He Jin die back then?

But since it was Xun Yu, Liu Xie felt that he could talk to him - am I not as good as Cao Cao?
Even though Dong Cheng was very jealous because of this, Liu Xie still thought he could give it a try. As long as he persuaded Xun Yu, he could show off his power and imitate Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing.

However, to Liu Xie's dismay, when Xun Yu came to see him, he also brought [-] soldiers with him, making it clear that he would not accept hard or soft orders!
Even when Liu Xie was hinting at Xun Yu, Xun Yu was also hinting at Liu Xie, asking him not to do anything that would embarrass him or make the prime minister feel disheartened - obviously in Xun Yu's heart, Cao Cao still came first, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty would eventually Just white moonlight.

Liu Xie was so angry that he saw off the guests directly!

And before Xun Yu left the palace, fires started to spread everywhere in Xudu, and the houses of various families started to move after hearing the news, one by one shouting to put out the fire, but there were more and more people on the street, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger...

When the guards enforcing the curfew tried to stop these people and help put out the fire, they were attacked for no apparent reason.

Very few people knew about this plan before, but who in the court does not have some generals with tiger talismans in their families?Who doesn't have some ordinary weapons?Who... doesn't understand what's going on?
After taking the lead, everyone took advantage of the situation and danced wildly, including some courtiers who had flirted with Cao Cao before and knelt down to lick the Prime Minister's Mansion!
The Xudu defenders not only have to defend the city, but also fight in the streets all the time...

At the same time, the Xuzhou Army led by Zhang Fei also dispatched troops from the newly built "Xinpei" on the original site of Xiaopei, with light cavalry in front and infantry behind. Taking advantage of the chaos in Xudu and being unable to communicate with the surrounding counties, On the pretext of supporting Xu Du, they directly bypassed Suiyang and Yangxia.

The distance between Xudu and Xiaopei is not far, and the area is flat. However, the defenders of several counties along the way heard that the Yellow Turban Army and the Yuan Army joined forces to approach Xudu, causing chaos in Xudu. There were even rumors that Xudu had been defeated. On the other hand, as an "ally" of Xuzhou, they transited the border in the name of support...

It doesn’t matter if you stop it or pursue it, and even if you resist even a little bit, it won’t be active!
Zhang Yan's performance at this time... to be precise, his performance in the past six months was also very amazing. It was as if he had anticipated the Yuzhou Rebellion and sent his troops out of the pass at the right time to capture the entire Hedong.

And when Xudu was in chaos, together with Yang Feng, they also marched eastward in the name of King Qin!
Within ten days, Xu Du was on the verge of collapse, and the inner palace of the palace was now isolated from the outer city. The new bus order originally appointed by Cao Cao was unexpectedly instigated by Liu Bei, and Liu Xie's few remaining imperial troops, Liu Ai and Dong Cheng's family generals blocked the palace together.

There are very few troops in the palace, and when the palace was being built, Cao Cao did not give it much defense. It was completely different from the palaces in Chang'an and Luoyang!

It's just that Liu Xie's intention now is just to "protect himself", as if "it's so chaotic outside, I'm so scared, Xun Aiqing, hold on, I give you a thumbs up", Xun Yu can't do anything to the palace.

However, when the news came that the Xuzhou Army came to "support", Xun Yu didn't care too much, and decided to put all his eggs in one basket, storm the palace, rob Liu Xie and Liu Bei, and go north to join Cao Cao first!
However, when Liu Bei was in Simamen, he burst into tears, crying for heaven, crying for the more than [-] emperors of the two Han Dynasties, and crying for the people... How could anyone who heard it feel sad and everyone who saw it feel sad and angry? The morale of Xun Yu's men was also affected...

In the end, both parties agreed on an alliance under the city...

Xun Yu didn't dare to take too many risks. After all, there were not only Liu Xiehe's court in the city, but also Cao Cao's family members and the family members of the prime minister's staff.

Xun Yu let Liu Xie and the court officials leave. At the same time, Liu Xie issued an edict to grant Cao Cao the Nine Treasures, and reiterated that Yuan Shao was a rebel traitor and Prime Minister Cao was the pillar of the country. Even Yuan Feng, who sacrificed his life for the Han Dynasty during Dong Zhuo's rebellion, They were all labeled as rebels and their ancestral halls were demolished.

That is to say, to confirm Cao Cao's status as a loyal minister, and to "grant nine tins", that is, to allow him to be named the founding of Wei Dynasty, to reduce the shackles of the court on Cao Cao in the future, and at the same time not to give the court and the Yuan family a chance to reconcile!
Anyway, Xuzhou Army has also arrived now. Liu Xie thought that the value of Yuan Army's use had been squeezed out, so he accepted it completely...

Liu Bei also wanted Xun Yu to clear the way back to Xuzhou in the east, but Xun Yu's answer was very tough and stopped at letting them leave Xudu!

At the same time, Xun Yu has also made preparations to block Xuzhou in the future, at least to prevent Liu Xie from being invited to Xuzhou...

Dong Cheng persuaded Liu Bei with a smile at this time. He had already contacted Yang Feng, his "old partner" who helped the emperor escape last time - Xuzhou, the place of the Fourth Battle, what was the emperor doing there?
Let’s go back to Sili!

Liu Xie now distrusts all the princes, so he politely asked Uncle Liu to send troops to protect him, and supported Hui Sili. He probably felt that this way all parties would restrict each other, and he would have a better environment to display the emperor's tricks...

　Dongdong: The promotion of the non-protagonist group has been written very briefly and very quickly. No matter how fast it is, it will be difficult to explain clearly... Dongdong thought that this should not be ignored.

　　Tomorrow the perspective will return to the protagonist group, and then return to the normal rhythm~
