Chapter 569 Sweeping insects and restoring Youzhou!
Yuan Jun's commander-in-chief fell and never stood up again.

On the battlefield, cheers representing the victory of the Han army gradually sounded.

All the Han troops were cheering, and all Yuan Shao's soldiers either died in battle or knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness. This huge battle ended with Liu Bei's complete victory, and Yuan Shao had already embarked on the road to hell.

The Yuan Clan's rebel group has been wiped out so far, and the last member of the Runan Yuan Clan died here. There will never be another family named Runan Yuan Clan in this world.

This is the first Fanyue family to be physically exterminated since the establishment of the Eastern Han Empire.

This incident not only proved the determination of the Han Empire to suppress the rebellion, but also proved that the Fanyue family was not indestructible.

Facing the will of the empire, a single family is obviously not enough to fight.

The little shock that this battle brought to Liu Bei at the end was when Yuan Shao's broken body into five pieces was placed in front of him.

Those who fought for Yuan Shao's body were Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Shi Huan, and Zhang Yun.

According to the five people's explanations, when Yuan Shao was besieged and killed at the end, the scene went crazy.

Zhang He rushed forward to confront Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao swung his saber, Zhang He dodged it, turned around and swung his saber to kill Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao twisted his body and cut off Yuan Shao's right arm.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Huan rushed forward to stab Yuan Shao to death. The spear pierced Yuan Shao's body, but Yuan Shao, who was in a state of blood rage, grabbed the spear with his left hand, so Shi Huan threw away the spear and drew his waist knife, and chopped In the past, Yuan Shao twisted his body again, and his left arm was severed.

At this moment, Zhao Yun came galloping on his horse, and Yuan Shao couldn't dodge any more. He watched Zhao Yun swung his sword gleaming with cold light, and chopped off Yuan Shao's head with one blow.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was killed, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, who hadn't arrived in time, were furious. The two came forward with roars, one stabbed Yuan Shao's headless body with a knife, and the other picked Yuan Shao's body down with a spear. horse.

Then the two got off their horses, grabbed Yuan Shao's broken body and stared at each other angrily, roaring together, desperately trying to grab Yuan Shao's body.

Seeing the battle between the master and general, the soldiers around them also rushed up, and everyone worked together, and finally tore Yuan Shao's broken body in half forcefully.

So the situation became that one of the five generals got a part of Yuan Shao's body, which gave Yuan Shao a dead end without a whole body.

In this regard, they who calmed down were also very speechless.

A promise broken into five pieces, what is that?
Liu Bei did not promise ten thousand households like Liu Bang before. Xiang Yu's body was broken into five pieces and five people could be named as a prince, and Yuan Shao's body was broken into five pieces. Can one promise be turned into five promises?

So this thing is more embarrassing.

Fortunately, Liu Bei also has a backup plan.

"Back then, Gaozu promised that whoever killed Xiang Yu would be named Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Later, the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households was divided among five people, and the current situation is quite similar to that of the past. Of course, Yuan Shao's status cannot be compared with that of Xiang Yu, so, simply change For five thousand households, one person has one thousand households, what do you think?"

Liu Bei proposed this plan, and the five generals looked at each other, but there was nothing to say. Anyway, a thousand food towns is a big reward, not to mention Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Shi Huan There is no title yet, and such a reward makes them very happy.

Thus the question of rewards was resolved.

Lu Bu was originally a county lord, and he added a thousand households to eat.

Zhang Fei was promoted to the title of Marquis of Gu'an County, and a thousand households were added to the city.

Zhao Yun, Shi Huan, and Zhang Yun were all enfeoffed with the title of title, and they were all enfeoffed as Marquis of Duxiang, with a thousand households in the city.

Other people who worked hard in this battle also received certain awards, and got rewards that satisfied them. The only one who was not very happy was Dong Zhuo, because he failed to snatch Yuan Shao's body, and he also failed to monopolize Liu Bei. Promise of.

It seems that he can only expect his good son Lu Bu to say a few good words for him.

The annihilation of Yuan Shao's entire army represented the completion of the first stage of this conquest, and the next stage would be the second stage - the suppression of the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, and all the Hu and Han robbers who took advantage of the fire in Youzhou.

Anyone who dares to make trouble will not be let go, and will be killed, regardless of whether they are Han or not.

The city of Zhuo County, which Gongsun Zan defended, was thus out of crisis, and the people in the city survived, including more than [-] people including members of the Lu family and the Liu family.

But Gongsun Zan knew that he could not escape the guilt, so he followed Lian Po's example and chose to plead guilty. In the cold weather, he took off his shirt and came to Liu Bei's camp to plead guilty.

Liu Bei had nothing to say to Gongsun Zan, and he didn't want to see him. He had betrayed his trust, disobeyed orders, and offended officialdom. If he didn't deal with him, he would have no way to explain to the Youzhou and Luoyang courts.

So Liu Bei didn't see him, but ordered him to be dismissed, packed in a prison car and sent back to Luoyang, and handed over to the emperor for interrogation, so that the third division of Luoyang could decide his guilt, but he himself did not participate in order to avoid suspicion.

Gongsun Zan was very surprised, he thought that Liu Bei would at least meet him once, say something to him, or comfort him or something.

But no, Liu Bei sent him away without seeing him, which made him feel very disturbed.

Could it be that he couldn't pass this level?

He shouted loudly that he asked to see Liu Bei, begged Liu Bei to see him, but no one responded to him. The guards rushed forward, put him in shackles, put him in a prison cart, and took him to Luoyang for trial.

During the whole process, Liu Bei didn't show up, and no one familiar with Gongsun Zan showed up, as if everyone had tacitly agreed that they didn't know this guy.

After Liu Bei learned that Gongsun Zan had been taken away, he sighed and shook his head.

"God's sins can be forgiven, and self-inflicted sins can't be lived."

After watching Gongsun Zan's escort convoy go away, Liu Bei dealt with the mess left by Gongsun Zan in Zhuo County, and at the same time let the army rest for three days, and inquired about the current specific situation by the way.

Three days later, according to the information he gathered, it was basically certain that most of Youzhou had entered a state of anarchy.

In addition to Shanggu County and Dai County, there are also prefects in office. The prefects of Zhuo County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County all died in battle. Huwuhuan Zhonglang died in battle. There were heavy casualties, and some fled without a trace. Few of them stuck to their posts and worked hard to defend the city without being breached.

He didn't know the news a little further to the west for the time being, and the transmission of messages was not usual. The news that Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong was still resisting, was not known whether it was out of date.

So Liu Bei, full of anger, officially sent troops to the east on December 23, the sixth year of Zhongping.

"My lords! Follow me to sweep away the insects! Restore Youzhou!"

When Liu Bei gave an order, the whole army cheered and responded.

This time, he divided his troops into three groups. Zhang Fei, the general of the Tiger Cavalry, and Pang De, the general of the Zhonglang of the Xiaoqi Army, led the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Xiaoqi Army respectively as the Left Army and the Right Army. Three routes marched into Guangyang County.

In order to march quickly, Liu Bei did not bring infantry, but all the cavalry from his headquarters, as well as Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's two cavalry, a total of 8000 people formed the Central Army.

All the infantry were left in the rear, led by Xu Huang and others, responsible for stabilizing the place, and transferring some of the food and fodder, and then guarding and disposing of a large number of captives and refugees who lost their homes due to the war, so as not to cause trouble.

At the same time, Liu Bei entrusted the family alliance headed by the Zhen family in Jizhou to help him provide a batch of food from Jizhou to Youzhou, so as to prevent the refugees from Youzhou from causing troubles due to hunger.

He himself chose to march to Liaodong in the form of fighting to support the war, and went further to the Northern Expedition, doing his best in one battle.

Because the main forces of Suli and Mijia have been defeated, most of the Xianbei people who are still scattered on the vast land of Youzhou are the old and weak, their family members, and their grazing livestock. Can't compete with the front of the Han army.

On December 25th of the sixth year of Zhongping, Zhang Fei led his army to defeat more than 3 Xianbei people living in Xianbei Jundu County, and captured more than 5000 prisoners. On the same day, in Anci County, Pang De led his army to defeat a The Xianbei people who stayed there took 5000 prisoners.

On December 26, Liu Bei recovered Jixian County, defeated and captured more than 5 Xianbei tribes who had stayed here, captured tens of thousands of livestock, and rescued more than 20 people.

On December 28, Zhang Fei defeated the Xianbei people in Yuyang County, took more than [-] prisoners, captured a large number of livestock, and rescued more than [-] people.

On the same day, Liu Bei defeated the Xianbei in Lu County, captured more than [-] prisoners, and rescued more than [-] civilians.

On December 29, Pang De defeated more than [-] Xianbei troops near Yongnu County and captured many of them. The news told Liu Bei.

On December [-], Lu Bu, the vanguard of Liu Bei's army, arrived at Wuzhong County, Youbeiping County, defeated and captured more than [-] Xianbei tribesmen here, and won a big victory.

In the past few days, the three Han armies not only wiped out the Xianbei people, but also encountered some bandits and powerful men who robbed their homes and houses in groups.

Naturally, they were also wiped out by cuddling grass and beating rabbits.
