- "It's already a big drag on me taking this group of family members north. If I bring the people nearby now, it will be even slower."
After saying these words, Liu Bei realized that he kept treating the people as a drag, which seemed to violate his benevolent and righteous way of governing the country.
"Ahem, of course I'm not saying that the people are a burden. I just think that in this time of war and chaos, if the people follow me northward, I'm afraid it will hurt them." Liu Bei quickly changed his tune.
Zhuge Liang said, "The real purpose of asking your majesty to lead the people to the north is actually not that."
Liu Bei was startled, and his face showed confusion again.
Zhuge Liang then coughed a few times, lowered his voice, and told Liu Bei his true intentions.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up at first when he heard this, and then he felt troubled, "Does this strategy of the Prime Minister go against benevolence and righteousness?"
"I have no choice but to do this. I think it would be an honor for these people to sacrifice themselves for His Majesty's protection." Zhuge Liang sighed.
Liu Bei fell silent and seemed to be in hesitation again.
However, Liu Bei was not in trouble for long this time. Soon, he said resolutely: "This is the only thing that has happened so far. Let's follow the prime minister's strategy and issue the decree quickly."
On the same day, more than ten cavalry messengers rushed out and went straight to the county town near Lunu to convey Liu Bei's intention to relocate the people.
Liu Bei lied in his edict that the Chu army was barbaric and cruel, massacring every city in its path, killing every human being, men, women, old and young.
In order to protect the people and fear that they would be harmed by the Chu army, Liu Bei took the risk and took the people in northern Hebei to evacuate to Youzhou for refuge.
People are always the most easily deceived group of people, in this modern era where information is highly developed. It is easy to be deceived by false public opinion offensives, let alone in this era of "messaging and reporting."
The people naturally believed whatever Liu Bei said.
So the people in the cities in northern Hebei thought that the Chu army was brutally slaughtering the city. In panic, they dragged their families and fled to the Lunu area, hoping to take refuge in Youzhou under the protection of their emperor Liu Bei's wings.
When Liu Bei arrived at Lunu City, the people gathered nearby. It has reached nearly 100,000 people.
At this time, the scouts received information that Chou's former army had reached Anxi, which was twenty miles away, and could come to kill Benlu Nu at any time.
Liu Bei did not dare to stay, so he immediately led his army to leave Lunu and go north. Taking one hundred thousand people with them, they marched toward Youzhou in a mighty manner.
In the afternoon, the scouts rushed over and arrived directly in front of Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty, the Chu cavalry has attacked Lu Nu and is pursuing them from the main road. The vanguard is only more than ten miles away." The scout shouted in alarm.
Liu Bei was shocked. His eyes turned to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, the Chu thieves have arrived, what should we do?"
"Without any further delay, Your Majesty abandoned the people immediately and evacuated to Fan Yang immediately." Zhuge Liang said without hesitation.
Liu Bei turned around and looked back.
But I saw that the road from beginning to end was densely packed with people fleeing, hundreds of thousands of people in an endless stream. Not only the entire highway but also the wilderness on the left and right sides were filled.
These people don¡¯t know. The Chu State's cavalry is behind them and will rush towards them soon.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, and when he turned around, only determination remained on his face, "Preach my will, and all the armies will act accordingly."
When the order was given, Liu Bei raised his whip and moved his horse to go ahead.
Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pointed his feather fan, and ordered the carriage carrying him to move quickly, following Liu Bei closely.
The Han army, numbering less than 30,000, moved with great force to protect the queen and other family members, and headed north quickly in the name of opening a road.
"And those who stayed behind and marched slowly were one hundred thousand civilians and several thousand old and weak soldiers in charge of the rear.
These more than 100,000 people did not know that the danger was coming, nor did they know that at this moment of life and death, their emperor did not even inform them and had already fled first.
A sandstorm rose up from behind and soon came over. The rumble of iron hooves drowned out the noise of the crowd.
The panicked people looked back one after another, and were shocked to see the iron hooves of Chu coming in like a storm.
"Chu soldiers are coming~~"
"Everyone, run away quickly, the Chu army is coming."
One hundred thousand people were like a pot exploding, screaming, pushing and shoving, and rushing to the north.
With such a large number of civilians crowded together, the order was already chaotic. At this time, the Chu army was shocked and fell into chaos in the blink of an eye.??In extreme chaos.
One hundred thousand men, women and children, coupled with countless cattle, horses, mules and carts, as well as large and small bags of goods, completely blocked the road heading north.
In the chaos, the Chu cavalry led by Chou came fiercely.
When they saw this endless sea of ??people blocking the road, Chou and his soldiers were a little shocked.
"Is Liu Bei crazy? He took so many people with him when he ran away. Do you think he didn't run fast enough?" Chou Leng snorted.
Jiang Wei said: "General Hussars, Liu Bei is not leading these people to escape, but he wants these people to serve as a human barrier to stop our army's pursuit."
As soon as these words came out, all the Chu generals on the left and right were shocked.
"Yes, Liu Bei is such a kind-hearted person. He is afraid that our cavalry will catch up, so he deliberately uses a hundred thousand people to block his way." Deng Ai gritted his teeth.
Chou then understood and snorted coldly: "Liu Bei is indeed cunning and insidious. He actually thought of using civilians as human shields for him."
After scolding Liu Bei, Chou pointed his spear and shouted: "Advance the whole army, I will continue to pursue Liu Bei, the big-eared thief."
Although there are people blocking the road, the ugly military order is in place, and it is impossible to just sit back and watch Liu Bei escape openly just because he has thrown a rat weapon.
The order was given, and 20,000 cavalry galloped wildly. In the blink of an eye, they ran into the crowd of fleeing civilians.
The target of the Chu army was Liu Bei and the Han army. They were naturally not interested in these civilians, so they could only rein in their horses while running and try to avoid injuring them.
"However, these 100,000 people were too densely packed, and they were running around in panic. How could the Chu army avoid them at all times? Soon, screams started to appear everywhere.
In the dust and mist, from time to time Chu cavalry accidentally bumped into civilians, and some civilians who didn't have eyesight bumped into the running Chu cavalry horses.
The area with a radius of more than ten miles quickly turned into a mess.
Under this obstacle, the Chu army's speed was greatly slowed down, and Liu Bei took advantage of this opportunity to run all the way.
From noon to dusk, hundreds of thousands of people died, were injured, and fled. Finally, they were almost scattered, and the flow of people on the road became smaller and smaller.
The Chu army was able to speed up and pursue northward, but at this time, Liu Bei had already fled dozens of miles away.
Chou chased him for more than thirty miles. Seeing that Liu Bei had fled far away and could no longer catch up, he gave the order to withdraw his troops.
At this time, the dozens of miles of road looking north from Lunu City were already littered with corpses, and people who died in the chaos were everywhere. Especially the section of the road twenty miles north of Lunu City was even more densely populated. Full of corpses.
The sacrifices of these people became Liu Bei's human shield and ensured Liu Bei's smooth escape.
Chou escaped from Liu Bei and had to retreat to Lunucheng, and sent a messenger to deliver the good news to Yan Liang who was still behind.
At this time, Yan Liang's army had just entered the east of Anguo City and was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the city guarded by Xu Huang and capture this obstacle in one fell swoop.
The imperial account.
"I really didn't expect that Liu Bei would bring hundreds of thousands of people to serve as his human shields. This big-eared thief is really crazy." Pang Tong sighed.
"I have torn all the disguises of the big-eared thief to pieces. This is just before he comes to see you." Yan Liang said disdainfully.
In Yan Liang¡¯s view, Liu Bei, like his ancestor Liu Bang, is best at sacrificing those who are not important to him at critical moments.
In the past, when Cao Cao's army went south to capture Jingzhou, Liu Bei fled from Xiangyang in a hurry and deceived more than 100,000 people into going south with him.
As a result, when Cao Cao's cavalry chased to Changban Slope, the 100,000 congested people blocked the way forward for Cao Cao's army, buying Liu Bei precious time to escape.
In the past, Liu Bei was able to take people across the river, and today it is expected that he would take people to the north.
"The army will take Anguo City first, and then it won't be too late to deal with Liu Bei." Yan Liang threw the battle report on the case with a look of disdain.
Although this battle did not achieve the strategic goal of annihilating Liu Bei's gang, it drove away Zhang Fei and destroyed Liu Bei's carefully constructed Julu defense line. In less than half a month, they captured a large area of ??counties in northern Hebei, which was also a great feat. harvest.
Now Liu Bei has fled to Youzhou. With only a northern state and the disobedient Bingzhou occupied by Sima Yi, how can he escape the fate of defeat.
Yan Liang's order was passed down, and more than 100,000 former troops had begun to set up strongholds around Anguo City, preparing to besiege the city on all sides.
Anguo City is not as big as Ye City and other big cities. The city has not been reinforced, and Xu HuangThere were seven thousand soldiers and horses. When Yan Liang brought in the city-breaking artillery, Xu Huang could not stop Yan Liang from breaking into the city.
On the top of the city, Xu Huang looked at the overwhelming Chu army from afar, his face was solemn and his heart was heavy.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and his son Xu Gai hurriedly climbed up to the top of the city.
"Commander Father, the urgent report just brought back by the scouts is that the emperor has escaped from the Chu army's cavalry and successfully escaped from Zhongshan Kingdom."
Hearing the news, Xu Huang was both happy and worried.
Fortunately, Liu Bei finally escaped and ascended to heaven, but what worries him is that his seven thousand soldiers and horses seem to have been abandoned by Liu Bei and trapped in this small Anguo city.
"The Chu thieves are riding lightly and galloping like the wind. How can the emperor escape from the enemy thieves?" Xu Huang became suspicious again.
Xu Gai said silently: "The emperor summoned one hundred thousand people to go together, but he ordered the people to walk behind. When the Chu army arrived, the emperor abandoned the people to go first. As a result, these one hundred thousand people became an obstacle to the Chu cavalry. That¡¯s why the emperor can"
"No need to say any more!" Xu Huang shouted, his brows deeply furrowed and his fists secretly clenched.
Li Yangcheng sacrificed Guan Yu, Yecheng sacrificed Cao Ren, and hundreds of thousands of people were sacrificed in order to escape.
Xu Huang knew that now, he, Xu Huang, had become an abandoned son of Liu Bei and had also been sacrificed.
