People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Yingchuan, Xu County!
One of the houses is under strict surveillance!

Today we welcomed a special guest, Xun Yu. Under the guidance of soldiers, Xun Yu saw Guan Yu who was under house arrest here.

Seeing Guan Yu, Xun Yu calmly said:
"Yun Chang, we are leaving and heading to the land of Jianghuai."

Guan Yu, who had a serious face, sharp sword eyebrows, and cold eyes, without any fluctuation in expression, still had no fluctuation in expression when he heard these words.

Xun Yu smiled wryly, and finally said truthfully:
"Duke Ming has passed away. On the battlefield against Li Yao, he was injured by an arrow from the back and died of his injuries. He passed away on the way back. Now we can only abandon the Central Plains and go to the Jianghuai area..."

Hearing this, Guan Yu's calm face showed a look of shock and surprise. Although he hated Cao Cao very much, he admitted that Cao Cao was indeed superior in the way of using troops.

Unexpectedly, even if Cao Cao faced Li Yao, not only would he not be able to win, but he would even lose himself.

He was under house arrest here and could not get any news from the outside world, but in the past two days, no matter the servants or maidservants in the mansion, they were in a state of panic, and something big happened to the outside world.

It's just that I didn't expect that it was Cao Cao who died.

But Guan Yu was unmoved, looked at Xun Yu and said indifferently:
"I wish I could cut off Cao Cao's head myself. What do you mean by saying these things when you come here?"

Xun Yu's eyes turned cold when he heard this. Cao Cao treated Guan Yu so well, and Guan Yu still had the same attitude. But thinking of the responsibility on his shoulders, he could only let go of his prejudice against Guan Yu, and said:
"Yun Chang, now Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are all in Jiangdong, not only that, we also want to send you there..."

"Duke Ming has treated you well. Now that Duke Ming has passed away, let the past hatred pass. I hope you can convince Liu Bei that we can no longer be hostile to each other. Only by uniting can we resist Li Yao who is about to go south..."

"Otherwise, not only us, but even your Lord Liu Bei will not be spared. Under Li Yao's iron hooves, he will become dust and die with the wind!"

Guan Yu was a little moved when he heard the words, but then calmed down, looked at Xun Yu and said in a deep voice:
"Say one thousand, say ten thousand, just want to use me to let my elder brother put down his hatred for you, and then help you fight against Li Yao!"

Xun Yu got up immediately when he heard the words, and his voice became serious:
"Guan Yu, have you forgotten how good Duke Ming is to you? Although we intended to use you, after Li Yao wiped us out, would he let you go..."

"Li Yao, that's a vicious wolf from the northwest. He regards His Majesty as a plaything, and he regards the world as prey. After he seizes the Central Plains, he will turn his gaze to Jiangdong..."

"At that time, your lord Liu Bei may have peace for a day. Liu Bei is also a member of the Han family. How could he just watch Li Yao take over the world of the great man and steal the country of the great man..."

"Nowadays, it is still possible to defeat Li Yao by uniting, and we can only be wiped out one by one by each other. I will stop here today. When we set off for Jianghuai, you will leave with us. How you choose in the future is all up to you!"

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu left directly.

As for Guan Yu, he fell into deep thought.

Two days later, [-] Cao Jun guarding Cao Pi and everyone's family members set off without stopping.

If you don't leave quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. You just take some important items with you indiscriminately, and don't take the rest of the sundries if you can.

Once the news spread, the entire Central Plains went crazy. Cao Cao was defeated and died. Now the remaining forces will flee to Jianghuai.

They all fled. Who should protect those powerful families in the Central Plains who originally supported Cao Cao? They all contribute their efforts and openly support them.

In order to avoid the liquidation that might come from Li Yao, most of the aristocratic and powerful families, after careful consideration, gathered their clansmen, took their property, and fled to Jianghuai in a panic.Houses, shops, tenants, fields... These cannot be taken away, so they can only reluctantly choose to give up.

They didn't bet on Li Yao, and Li Yao, a ruthless man, what he did in Jizhou, ransacked his family, exterminated his family, and slaughtered people all over his family, it's really creepy.

Only those people who plan food in the loess land and have no other property besides that have no choice but to stay in their native hometowns.

Thinking that the enemy is coming, donate part of the family's small rations to see if they can save their lives. If it is impossible, they will flee into the mountains. The land is the root of the people. As long as there is a little way to survive, they will not leave, will not resist.

At this point in the matter, it seemed that Li Yao was that man-eating jackal, tiger and leopard, and before he could beat him, the aristocratic family wanted to run away.

At the same time, Li Yao, who had rectified all the troops under his command, also learned of Cao Cao's death, and the remaining forces fled to Jianghuai, causing a large number of powerful families to follow suit and flee.

Can Li Yao let them leave easily?
Of course not!

Immediately summoned his subordinates, Li Yao looked at them and said loudly:

"In these years, we have always been the only ones beating others. Those who were beaten by others have been beaten to death by us..."

"Cao Cao, if you are full and have nothing to do, if you dare to attack Luoyang, even if he is dead, I will make him pay the price..."

"Bei Gongli, Duan Yan, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, all generals, immediately summon all the cavalry, and pursue the powerful families who fled to Jianghuai, as well as the remnants of Cao Cao!"

All the people present responded in unison:

"Follow the order!"

Within half a day, [-] elite Qingqi, led by Li Yao, Bei Gongli, Duan Yao, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others, brazenly went south into the Central Plains.

Swift as the wind, aggressive as fire, intercepted a large number of powerful families who fled to the south, and obtained countless treasures, silk, and grain, all of which were pulled back by cart after cart.

Until entering the territory of Runan, Cao Jun used the fortress and the terrain to build a defense line. Li Yao seriously calculated whether it would be more profitable to pursue Cao Jun or to expand the territory.

In the end, it was decided not to continue chasing forward, but to unite with the infantry behind, and Whale Tun originally belonged to Cao Cao's territory.

Cao Pi, Xun Yu... waited for a group of people to leave in a hurry. Now the states and counties are in chaos. At this time, it is easy to attack. If the initial chaos period is overcome and a new interest group is formed, the Central Plains will be full of princes, big and small.

At this time, Liu Biao in Jingzhou passed away unexpectedly, and Li Yao was busy encroaching on the territory of the Central Plains, so he told Jingzhou Wenwu what he meant:
Liu Biao respected the imperial decree, obeyed the edict of the emperor, paid tribute every year, and was never absent. He was a good state shepherd. Now that he passed away, he would elect a new state shepherd from among his heirs. Zizhao, who pays tribute every year, cannot be absent.

It was because of this letter that the brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong broke up. There was no shortage of smart people in Jingzhou. They knew that Li Yao was perfunctory, but in the face of such power, who could remain rational.

Within Jingzhou, everyone forms cliques and fights to the death...
