Wancheng was defended, the Zhou family was forced to Shucheng, and there were other major events in this world. For example, Zhou Yu was in Jiangxia, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou was sent more troops to Jiangxia after Sun Ce left. Although Zhou Yu had few troops, he fought vigorously.
This is the second time for Liu Daer in Xuzhou after he lost Xuzhou last time. Lao Cao played for real this time, with all the elites, even including the reorganized tiger and leopard cavalry. Liu Bei couldn't hold it at all. Although he has tens of thousands of troops, most of them are Qingzhou soldiers. He has no sense of belonging to Liu Bei. Naturally, he will not work too hard when fighting. In addition, the people of Pengcheng came to block Cao Cao's road with the desire to take the people away from Cao Cao's way to pave the way for their retreat.
Lao Cao didn't want Xuzhou to suffer this loss by pinching his nose. Liu Bei also took the opportunity to leave Xuzhou with thousands of elites and defected to Runan, Yuzhou.
Yuan Shao's attitude towards Mr. Cao became more and more aggressive, and now he wants Mrs. Cao to bind himself to the Emperor of Han, step down from the position of Sikong and surrender with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Lao Cao's attitude of retreating after clearing Xuzhou has also become tough Now, the two princes on both sides of the Yellow River are about to go to war.
Such a big commotion in Wancheng could not be concealed from the people of the world.
Thirty-two gentry families in Wancheng participated in this rebellion, and Liu Mang killed 32 families, not only the entire family of those gentry families, but also the people under the rule of those manors. All the characters were killed.
There were only less than 30,000 households in Wancheng, and 5,000 households were killed or injured by those rebels. However, Liu Mang's cleanup this time directly killed more than 10,000 households. As long as the old, weak, women and children participated in the family, there would be no grass or grass.
The moat of Wancheng was stained red with blood.
"His Royal Highness King Shu?!" Mrs. Cao, who had already returned to Xudu, couldn't believe it when she looked at the documents. Xuzhou had already been captured.
The King of Shu is the King of Shu named Liu Mang? Isn't that a frail scholar? Grandma Cao still remembers the conversation he had with this frail scholar outside Kaiyang City. Although it made people angry, it was just a character like a counselor, and he was just a frail young man. A prince who was sent, now on this case, the ones killed by this King of Shu were thirty-two noble families, more than 10,000 households, a total of more than 40,000 people, and their heads fell to the ground with a wave of this frail scholar up.
Cao Cao thought that he did not have the courage to kill people like the king of Shu.
The reason why Grandma Cao is considered a butcher is because Grandma Cao just burned, killed and looted three small cities in Qulu, Juling, and Xiaqiu in Xuzhou, just to scare Lao Tao, These three cities are also small cities, with a combined household of less than 3,000. That's why Lao Cao was regarded as a butcher and an extermination thief. Liu Mang killed not only 10,000 households this time, but also 300,000 households. Two noble families.
What a big handwriting, it is indeed Wancheng! It should not be said that there are only a few limited families left in the entire Lujiang River. The four families of Liu, Lu, Han, and Xu in Wancheng, headed by the Liu family, and the two families of Jiashi, all the others were uprooted. Keep.
"That Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang!" Guo Jia still remembers Liu Mang. This is the third time Guo Jia has heard Mrs. Cao mention this person. Under Kaiyang City, the old Cao was furious. He thought that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was just a conniving and tongue-in-cheek person, but he didn't realize that he was a decisive and murderous person.
"Pu Chi Pu Chi!" Guo Jia pursed his lips and seemed to look down on His Highness the King of Shu. He killed tens of thousands of households, tens of thousands of people, and killed them at once. This is tens of thousands of pigs, not tens of thousands of pigs. The human head can add up to several stories high.
Some time ago, Guo Jia guessed that after Lu Bu killed the Chen family, there would be big changes in the Wancheng gentry, but he didn't expect such a big change! What is even more shocking now is the revenge of His Highness the King of Shu, who directly uprooted and left no blade of grass behind.
It takes a lot of courage to be so cruel. On the surface, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is going to offend the Jiangdong nobles, but from another point of view, this His Royal Highness the King of Shu has a bigger plan.
Anyway, the Jiangdong gentry and Lu Bu’s army did not get along. Instead of being on guard everywhere, it’s better to uproot and kill one cleanly. The Liu family of the first family actually still existed and acted as the vanguard among the beheaded gentry. Isn't this a signboard for Lu Bujun! Tell those gentry that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish.
In this way, those gentry who want to fight against Lu Bujun or help Sun Cejun have to think carefully about whether they dare to make this bet. If they win the bet, they will naturally get promoted and get rich. This can scare a lot of people.
"This little overlord of Jiangdong has something to play with!" Guo Jia has always identified Lao Cao's enemies as Liu Daer and this little overlord of Jiangdong. Even Sun Ce's threat is still higher than that of Liu Bei.
As expected, Liu Bei was a restless master. He rebelled and robbed Xuzhou as soon as he gained the trust of Mrs. Cao.
As for the second enemy, Sun Ce, he originally occupied the Lujiang River and stationed troops. Guo Jia saw that he had a lot of ambition. He might be Cao Cao's biggest enemy. Guo Jia even thought of many strategies to deal with Sun Ce. , it seems no longer necessary.
The way to deal with a fierce beast is to use another beast to compete with him for hegemony, and Lu Bu is such a dragon crossing the river. All the ambitions of Sun Ce, a fierce tiger, can only be brought into play after dealing with Lu Bu.
This period of time is enough to change the general situation of the world.
Jingzhou Xiangyang
"Good thing, good thing! Hahahaha!" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked at the copybook and laughed heartily, cupping their hands at the middle-aged man on the main seat, "My lord, it's a happy event!"
"Huh! Why do you like it?" A middle-aged general next to him was very disdainful, "Lu Bu is our army's great enemy, and so is Sun Ce. No matter who wins or loses, it will not be a blessing for me in Jingzhou. How about a wolf and a tiger? Compatible!"
"General Huang, don't get angry, just listen to Mao speak slowly!" This middle-aged general is Huang Zu who lost most of Jiangxia. Can't solve it. Lu Bujun was the culprit who caused him to lose half of Jiangxia, and his precious son Huang She was in the hands of Lu Bujun. Huang Zu had a good impression of grain prices.
Cai Mao is not angry, in fact, Jiang Xia's gains and losses don't matter to him, Jiang Xia is the territory of the Huang family, his Cai family is the real first family in Xiangyang, he can also see that Liu Biao is not a wise master, but Liu Biao is still Jingzhou after all The master, Cai Mao, is waiting for a price and waits for the Central Plains to decide the winner, so that he can pack up and send the whole Jingzhou out, so as to give his Cai family a promotion.
But now Sun Ce is so aggressive that he has taken down half of Jiangxia. If Sun Ce beats Jiangxia and swallows Jingzhou, what is the Cai family talking about about promotion? Jiang Xia of Huang's family is just a tortoise shell from Jingzhou in order to block the little overlord of Jiangdong.
"General Huang Zu, the current Lv Bu army has killed so many gentry, it can be said that it has lost the hearts of the Jiangdong gentry! Without the support of the gentry, no matter how powerful a prince is, it is nothing more than the root of infinity, and Lu Bu has completely offended Sun Ce and It is impossible for Sun Ce to be harmonious anymore, the enemy of an enemy is a friend!" Cai Mao said.
"Hmph! Isn't this Lu Bu an enemy?" Huang Zu felt uncomfortable. According to Cai Mao's words, he wanted to form an alliance with Lu Bu's army.
"General Huang Zu, be safe and don't be impatient!" Cai Mao would have kicked out the Huang family long ago if it wasn't for the Huang family's usefulness, but now he is still giving Huang Zu face.
"It's not terrible to offend the Jiangdong gentry, but the fear is to offend the world's gentry! If the Jiangdong gentry jointly sign up and tell the world that Lu Bu is a butcher and the enemy of the family, what do you think will happen to Lu Bu's army!"
what will happen Huang Zu is not an idiot, he immediately understood that this world is still ruled by the gentry, and the most indispensable thing in this world is the foolish people. If the Jiangdong gentry spread the word, the whole world, from the gentry to the foolish people below, would think that Lu Bujun was completely ignorant. It's just a bunch of robbers and butchers, they can only bring disasters, they can only burn, kill and loot, so the reputation of Lu Bujun will be ruined.
Not to mention those military generals and literati would not join them, and even the common people would not join such an army. Lu Bujun's own people really wanted Master Wang to come and save them! When Lu Bu's army attacked the city, the common people and gentry in those cities would unite together and swear to the death not to let Lu Bu's army come in. They were afraid of this butcher.
Without new soldiers and people to manage the territory, the last thing left for Lu Bu's army is to perish.
"You mean?!" Huang Zu seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right! Our major families in Jingzhou joined forces to not only help Lu Bujun to beautify, but also to help him rectify his name, branding all the gentry from the thirty-two families killed by Lu Bujun as rebellious, and telling the gentry in the world that Lu Bu is just It’s all about cleaning up those rebellious gentry! It was those gentry who committed the rebellion, and Lu Bu’s army had no choice but to fight back.” Cai Mao expressed his thoughts.
"What's the benefit of doing this!" Liu Biao said. He is the master of Jingzhou, he is also a relative of the Han family, and he is one of the largest families. If he opens his mouth to restore Lu Bujun's reputation, then that kind of appeal will be very scary.
"My lord! Then we can make friends with Lu Bujun!"
"Befriend Lu Bujun? Do you want to form an alliance with them? You are crazy, he is our enemy, he just took down our Huangzhou and captured Huangshe!" Huang Zu questioned.
"General Huang, I didn't say to form an alliance with Lu Bujun!" Cai Mao said with a smile, "We just need a statement and nothing else, just use our words to make Lu Bujun thank us!"
"What's the use of him thanking us! Don't you expect the enemy to thank us and keep their hands on the battlefield!" Huang Zu sneered.
"It's very useful. It may not be possible to keep your hands, but at least Mr. Huang She may come back! Moreover, he will attack from a distance and close to him. The stronger Lu Bu's army is, the more he will be able to hold back Sun Ce! We can use it against Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. Treat this Marquis Wen, so that not only will we have a guard dog at the northern gate, but we will also have one at the east gate!"
The stronger Lu Bu is, the more he can hold back Sun Ce. If he holds back Sun Ce, Jiang Xia will have no worries. They in Jingzhou will have enough time to wait for the emergence of the overlord of the Central Plains. (To be continued.)
