Chapter 575 Liu Bei's Northern Expedition
While they were discussing this issue, the war also had a clear outcome.Under the leadership of a group of fierce generals like wolves and tigers, an even fiercer army rushed forward and completely tore Qiu Liju and his Wuhuan rebels to pieces.

The personal guard cavalry led by Qiu Liju himself was even worse. Zhang Fei led his personal guard cavalry and smashed it to pieces. Suddenly, a young general Zhao Zilong with a white horse and white robe came out.

Zhao Yun held his spear straight, shouted loudly, pierced Qiu Liju's body with the spear and dismounted from his horse. Qiu Liju spat out a mouthful of blood, and died before he could scream.

Then Zhao Yun got off his horse, chopped off Qiu Liju's head with a single knife, put his head up on the horse, and rode away amidst the cheers of dozens of guards who were also riding white horses beside him.

Zhang Fei not far away witnessed this scene.

Originally, he had already held his spear and was ready to charge, but Zhao Yun's sudden attack made his blood degenerate into cholesterol, which made him almost lose his breath.

But there was no way, Zhao Yun snatched the head right in front of his eyes, slaughtered Qiu Liju, and flaunted his might to take him away.

Zhao Yun galloped on his horse, holding up Qiu Liju's head and shouting loudly. A group of men on white horses galloped with him, shouting for Zhao Yun's achievements in beheading Qiu Liju. The war is not over yet.

But it was precisely their actions that let those Wuhuan cavalry who were still resisting know the news that Qiu Liju had died.

The immediate boss is dead, what else are they fighting for?
This is a battle that is doomed to failure. There is no need to fight anymore. They can stop fighting.

So, with the cheers of the soldiers of the Han army, the battle came to its end.

Liu Bei watched Zhao Yun and his personal guards galloping happily, pointed at Zhao Yun, and laughed at Cheng Yu beside him.

"The more I look at him, the more he looks like me ten years ago! He is as energetic and energetic! What a white horse general Zhao Zilong! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Cheng Yu also looked at Zhao Yun, who was galloping with envy, and couldn't help but wonder in his mind if he had met Liu Bei, a hero who was willing to use talents without sticking to one pattern, 20 years earlier, would he have such high spirits? when.

It's a pity that he is already forty years old, and he is half buried in the ground. He doesn't know how long he can hold on.

But in any case, he will not waste this precious opportunity.

At the end of the war, it was Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, who opened the city gate to respond to Liu Bei, and attacked from inside and outside to destroy the Nanlou.

Zhang Fei finally got what he wanted. He held a spear with red eyes and launched a final charge. With a spear, he pierced Nanlou's body and nailed him to the ground. , I can finally sleep well tonight.

Otherwise, Zhang Fei really felt that he was going to be suffocated to death by this bad breath.

After Nanlou's death, the battle ended with the overall victory of the Han army.

The [-] Han cavalry defeated the Wuhuan cavalry, which numbered more than [-], and won a hearty victory.

Lord Wuhuan in western Liaoning and also the leader of Wuhuan in Youzhou during this period, Qiu Liju, was killed. The military strength of the Wuhuan people in Youzhou was basically destroyed. The army cavalry no longer had the power to resist.

This day is the first day of February in the first year of Jian'an.

After defeating Qiu Liju, Liu Bei's army not only captured more than 3 people, but also captured more than 20 prisoners, and further wiped out all the Wuhuan tribe who followed Qiu Liju's army, capturing more than [-] men and women , more than one million livestock of various types, and the rest were too many to be counted for a while.

Because the results of the battle were too great to be digested for a while, Liu Bei immediately sent someone back to mobilize Xu Huang's Huben Army to Liaodong County to help deal with these spoils, and asked Liaodong County Taishou Gongsundu to take Liaodong County soldiers to help guard, Deal with the loot.

Before dealing with the Xianbei people who went south, Liu Bei captured and captured more than 15 men and women. This time when facing Wuhuan, he captured and captured more than 20 men and women. Together, the captured population of more than 30 men and women is really huge. exploits.

Even so, Liu Bei has no intention of stopping.

He wants to attack the grasslands in the north, go straight to the old nest of the Xianbei in the east, and show them some color.

Knowing this situation, Gongsun Du turned pale with shock.

"General, at this time of the Northern Expedition to the Grassland, will this...will make the soldiers feel too tired? The general has been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers are at the end of their strength, should they rest more?"

Liu Bei sneered and said: "Rest? There will be time to rest in the future, but this land of Liaodong, I have come here, and I can't continue to fight north and expand the results. How can you let me swallow this breath? Kou can go, I can too Go! If they dare to ravage Youzhou, I will burn their hometown to the ground!"

Liu Bei was full of murderous aura and shocked Gongsun Du severely.

The macho man from the sky was right in front of him, and for the first time in Gongsun Du's womb, he felt that he couldn't hold him at all.

With a population of more than 30 people, the three armies of Yuan Shao, Xianbei and Wuhuan were wiped out in succession. How about such great military exploits?
Is this to create the achievements of Dou Xian's Northern Expedition to the Grassland?

Although both of them are generals.

Seeing the macho man from heaven standing in front of him with his own eyes, even the ambitious Gongsun Du felt that his size was too small, and he sincerely admired the man in front of him.

"The general has great ambitions, and I bow to him. If the general has such ambitions, I would like to follow the general in the Northern Expedition!"

"So good!"

Liu Bei nodded and agreed to Gongsundu's follow, and then rectified the troops and logistics, sent people to explore the road, collect information on the route, and prepare for the Northern Expedition.

After Gongsundu provided help, Liu Bei got help from many merchants in Xiangping County. They were familiar with the round-trip routes to Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes for trade. This time they encountered a catastrophe and were rescued by Liu Bei. for a negligible reward.

The most difficult orientation problem is thus solved.

On the sixth day of February, after five days of repairing the army, Liu Bei left more than 2000 horsemen to guard the large number of prisoners of war, and then led [-] cavalry to make a formal northern expedition.

And their logistics... is the same large number of hundreds of thousands of livestock herds, as well as thousands of outstanding Wuhuan herdsmen who have grazing and cooking skills and are willing to rely on Liu Bei for a chance of survival—

Talents with special skills are always given special treatment. Liu Bei needs them, and they are willing to rely on them, so the two sides hit it off.

It seems that after a long period of struggle, the grassland regime gradually understood that the reason why the Central Plains had repeatedly won against them was the advanced technology and the craftsmen were particularly good, so every time they went south to plunder, they would spare the skilled craftsmen and save their lives.

Even if the whole city would be killed, the iron craftsmen who mastered the technology and the craftsmen who made bows and crossbows would always survive.

So, mastering a technique is very important.

Their Northern Expedition route was from Liaodong County to Xuantu County, exited from the northern part of Xuantu County, and then marched all the way west, making a circle, and severely defeated all the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Huns encountered along the route. , and then turned southwest, returning to Zhuojun.

This time, I paid attention to the fact that one person has a share, and all of them were killed. The dogs on the roadside gave me two slaps, and I dug out all the earthworms in the soil on the roadside and split them into two vertical sections!

A bloody storm swept across the grassland in the early spring of the first year of Jian'an.

Speaking of which, after the death of Tan Shihuai, the Xianbei forces in the east were actually not the largest, and the number of people was not the largest. The major tribes lived separately, and no one with sufficient strength and appeal stood out to unify them.

Therefore, they could only bring their respective tribes, with the leaders of their respective tribes as leaders, and fight alone, which invisibly reduced their combat effectiveness and deterrence, which was completely different from when Tan Shihuai was still there.

According to the information provided by the business travellers, Liu Bei learned the news, and then made a decision to divide his troops and complete the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, and defined the goal of the Northern Expedition as [destroying the eastern Xianbei] and [destroying the central Xianbei]. .

He appointed Zhang Fei and Pang De each to lead a team, and he himself led a team. The action method was the same as the three-way northern expedition initiated by Liu Hong back then, but the internal and external situations were completely different.

On February [-]th, the Tiger Cavalry Army led by Zhang Fei discovered a Wuhuan tribe in the northern part of Xuantu County. Without saying a word, he rushed forward and cleaned up the tribe. "Logistics", bring it.

On February [-], Pang De discovered a small tribe of Xianbei in the northeast of Xuantu County. He sent his army to attack and won a complete victory.

On February [-]th, Liu Bei's army discovered the tribe of Mo Liqi, one of the Xianbei masters in the east, on the grassland in the north of Xuantu County, so he launched a surprise attack, defeated the tribe in one fell swoop, captured two thousand people, and captured more than five tribesmen Ten thousand, a large number of war horses and other livestock were seized, and the logistical reserves were greatly increased.

The attack of the Han army was like a raging fire, unstoppable.
