Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Annihilation of Xizhou

Since the beginning of Dong Zhuo, there have been seven years of chaos caused by the entry of Liangzhou people, but it has only been seven years.

Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, the two Liangzhou lords died in the battle with the Yanbei army as early as the time of the Dong, Fan Chou was stabbed to death at the banquet because of Li Wei's jealousy, Li Wei, who had been in charge of the court for more than three years, died at the hands of Guo Yan, who was also a general in Xizhou, Duan Xuan was beheaded by Liu Bao, the king of Xiongnu Zuoxian, and Zhang Ji of Kouluo Nanyang was also shot to death for the defenders when attacking Wancheng almost at the same time, as for Guo Yan, although Guo Yan is still alive, but it is not far away.

Yang Feng carried an iron spear and rode his horse in front of the battle, and his subordinates Hun cavalry and the Baibo army who rushed to hear the news gathered together, and people were shouting and neighing everywhere, like cats and mice driving away the Liangzhou soldiers in Guanzhong...... This is really feng shui in turns, at noon, these Western Liang soldiers who rushed out of Hangu Pass were frightened and Yang Feng fled north, and it was just evening, and it was Yang Feng's turn to chase these Liangzhou people.

Some people will always unintentionally use their fate to uncover the fog of the road ahead to others, such as Dong Zhuozhi to Yanbei, such as Duan Xuanzhi to Yang Feng. When he gave up his hand to the emperor, Yang Fengzhi really thought in his heart, just don't save Yanbei, let General Yan think like those princes who have disappeared in the world, and the scenery will finally turn into a piece of loess for a while.

However, when Yang Feng threw Duan Xuan, whose neck was about to be cut off by Liu Bao, into the Yellow River with the corpses of his subordinates, this dangerous and exciting idea for him also rose and fell with Duan Xuan, and finally disappeared.

The dead Yanbei may not be able to bring him and Liu Bao more. If Yanbei dies in Guanzhong, it will collapse the situation that has just been stable in Youji and Hebei, but it is obvious that neither Bai Bo nor the Xiongnu, or even the princes such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Guandong, have no ability to return to Youji for their own use within three or five years.

If Yanbei dies, will there be no Youji Yan Clan? This may have been the case when Yanbei led his army into Jizhou, but after that the situation became different. Five million people survived under Yanbei's rule, but their survival depended not on Yanbei people, but on the military and political groups controlled by Yanbei. Youji Erzhou is not Liaodong County that wants to go over, and when there is no food, Yanbei needs to send a message to Suli, and borrow soldiers and horses to feed outside the Saiwai; There is no weapon and armor, so Yanbei is asked to recruit craftsmen to build; There is no money, so I want Yanbei to change the seller in exchange for a lot of money.

The people of the two prefectures have their own cultivated land and pay taxes fixedly; There are fixed officials in the prefectures, counties, counties and townships to educate the people, and they also have brave and enterprising soldiers who guard the land under the command of brave and skilled generals...... Even if Yanbei is dead, Youji Erzhou may be chaotic, but there is a greater possibility that it will not be chaotic, not only because Yanbei has sons, his two sons are so young that they can't even speak, even if they have an uncle who controls Youzhou, it is not enough to control Erzhou.

Yanbei's death will only bring internal strife to Youji, as for external troubles, whether it is Montenegro, Baibo, Xiongnu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, in the hands of Jiang Jin, Gao Lan, Lu Yi, Tian Yu and his subordinate generals, can they get benefits?

He didn't know about others, and Yang Feng felt that he couldn't do it.

The Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains make the two states of Youji seem like a kingdom independent of the world, and it took a long time for Yanbei to establish this kingdom in the chaotic world, and it will also take a long time for it to collapse.

Yang Feng couldn't see that he could get any benefit from this, but if Yan Bei was alive, it would be different.

They can get sufficient and stable grain and grass, a stable and strong belly, not to mention that Yanbei is a good monarch. The reason why it is difficult for a relatively weak prince to return to another strong prince is mostly because he is worried that he will not be able to protect himself after he is attached, Yang Feng is not worried about this matter at all, Yanbei has Han Fu, Zhang Yan, Su Li, Bang Dun, and even Lu Bu who lives in Yecheng.

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but at least for now, Yan Bei has not killed or even treated any of the princes who belong to him, Yang Feng believes that with Lu Bu standing in front, he will not let Yan Bei set this precedent.

The Xiliang soldiers are really not as good as before, after the emperor arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, the warships sent the civil and military officials and the Hun soldiers to the other side, in the face of no less than their Hun soldiers and the emperor's edict, only a few of the Xiliang soldiers who heard the news of Duan Xuan's death resisted, and more soldiers and horses defected to Yang Feng's subordinates.

It's just that those Xiliang soldiers who came out of Hangu Pass, were previously under Li Dao, and now belong to Guo Yan's subordinates. They pursued Yanbei to the east but failed to make a contribution, and were even counterattacked by the generals of the Yanbei Army who had reinforcements to take the brave soldiers of Yan Zhao for a while. Seeing this, Guo Yan knew that he could not win, so he led his troops to retreat to the west, thinking about holding the emperor first and then collecting the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, waiting for another battle.

After all, there are more than 20,000 riders in front and back, each of which belongs to each other, and it is not something that Guo Yan, who killed himself from the White Horse Temple, can control.

It's just that his vanguard cavalry was killed by the Yanbei army for a while, and in a blink of an eye, most of the foot soldiers behind him were driven to the east by Yang Feng with a large force of Baibo army and Hun soldiers, and the chaotic Liangzhou soldiers were not at all the opponents of the Hun soldiers and the Baibo army after the generals and commanders formed the formation, and they were killed in a blink of an eye.

On the way back to Hangu Pass, he ran into Hu Caibu Bai Bo who rushed to Yang Feng's aid from Luhun Pass, and the two sides suffered casualties in a big battle.

However, one day, for Guo Yan, it was a world of difference, with more than 2,000 remnants stationed in Hangu Pass, in addition to the thousands of soldiers and horses left by Duan Xuan, where there was still a trace of the emperor and hundreds of officials and ministers, they had already crossed the Yellow River!

The more tragic thing is still to come, Guo Yan didn't pay much attention to the soldiers and horses left by Duan Xuan, he was now the time to employ people, just contacted the two military horses and left this army and horses, this is also a helpless move, although Hangu Pass is a Xiongguan, Guo Yan also knows that the two thousand remnants of the soldiers he brought back are not enough to defend the city pass. In addition, there were many deaths in a day's battle, and it was dark when he fled back to Hangu for nine lives, and all the remaining military rations were swept away by Duan Xuan, and he scribbled some dry food and fell asleep.

How to sell directly, those dry naan cakes are the last meal of this general who once held the court.

That night, several of Duan Xuan's subordinate soldiers transferred the sergeants guarding the camp, touched into Guo Yan's tent, took advantage of his sleep and slashed him to death, and carried his head north to Hedong to receive the reward from Duan Xuan...... Of course, they were all stuffed into the river by Liu Bao on the other side of the Yellow River and fed the fish in the end.

The warlords of Xiliang, who once advanced into Luodu and really shocked the world, have been wiped out so far, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers left behind have also been consumed in the hands of princes from all walks of life in the years that followed.
