The battle with Niu Fu in Hedong was unplanned, but while fighting Niu Fu, Guo Jia came up with another idea. After defeating Niu Fu, he took the initiative to spread the news, making the world think that both Liu Zhe and Niu Fu would suffer. Further promote Yuan Shao to send troops.
Now judging from the news reported by the spies, the plan has been successful and Yuan Shao has sent troops.
"My lord, Yuan Shao has been fooled."
The belligerent Zhang Fei was the first to jump out and shouted excitedly to Liu Zhe: "Let me be the vanguard, and I will ensure that Yuan Shao's head is taken off by Brigadier General."
Liu Zhe ignored Zhang Fei and ordered: "Inquire more quickly for information. Once brother Bo'an fails, we will send troops immediately."
In addition to Liu Zhe's 50,000 troops, Bingzhou also had Xun Youxi Zhicai's 100,000 Bingzhou cavalry, and Youzhou Xu Shu's 50,000 black scale army. Liu Zhe deployed three armies.
With this arrangement, Jia Xu felt that Yuan Shao was doomed. As long as Liu Yu was a little weak, the three armies could immediately enter Jizhou to support him.
However, things are unpredictable, and none of Liu Zhe's officials and generals in Youzhou could have imagined that Liu Yu and Yuan Shao would be so different.
Even someone as smart as Guo Jia Jia Xu would not have expected it.
Yuan Shao issued an appeal and then sent out troops. In a short period of time, Jizhou was defeated and surrendered.
By the time Liu Zhe received the news, Yuan Shao had already arrived at Xindu City.
Liu Zhe immediately ordered the departure and entered Jizhou to rescue Liu Yu.
However, it was still too late. When Liu Zhe entered Jizhou on the seventh day, he received the latest news. Liu Yu was defeated and Xindu City fell. Liu Yu refused to abandon the city and fled, and was killed in the rebellion.
This result is not what Liu Zhe wants to see.
"Uncle!"
On the twelfth day after Liu Zhe entered Jizhou, he met Liu He who was rescued by men loyal to Liu Yu in Quliang, Guangping County.
"Uncle, my father was betrayed by a villain and died miserably." Liu and a man in his twenties burst into tears, very pitifully.
The other people in Jizhou who escaped with Liu He also had red eyes. They were so frustrated by the defeat in this battle.
"Don't cry, stand up!" Liu Zhe shouted angrily and reprimanded Liu He loudly: "Your father is dead, what do you mean by crying here? Stand up and follow me to avenge your father."
Liu Yu and Liu Zhe have known each other for several years. Liu Yu's temperament and temperament are the standard of a gentleman in this era. Although Liu Zhe comes from a later generation and despite the age difference between the two, it does not prevent the two from becoming good friends.
Now that Liu Yu is gone, Liu Zhe is also sad, but he will not cry or shed tears. He will only avenge Liu Yu. Only in this way can he pay tribute to his good friend.
Liu He was frightened by Liu Zhe's severity, but he still stood up. Remembering that Liu Yu had treated him so harshly before, he felt even sadder. But this time he did not cry out, but clenched his fists tightly. He vowed to avenge his father.
Only then did Liu Zhe have time to learn what happened from other people's mouths, and only then did he understand why Liu Yu lost so quickly.
It turns out that Liu Yu had strict requirements on officials in Jizhou in recent years in order to prevent them from exploiting the people. Doing so would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some officials.
In addition, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family had many old officials in Jizhou. After Yuan Shao attacked Jizhou, many people took the opportunity to surrender. Therefore, Yuan Shao made rapid progress. In just half a month, he advanced from the plains to Xindu. The army besieged the city.
Most of the 100,000 troops recruited by Liu Yuxin were in Hejian County to deal with Yuan Shao's army attacking in Bohai County. Hearing that Yuan Shao had already reached Xindu, he hurriedly led his army back to reinforce, but was attacked by Yuan Shao's army who divided his troops in the plain to intercept. Attacked from both sides, Zhang He was defeated and had to flee back to Xindu with his remaining soldiers.
There are still tens of thousands of people defending Xindu, and everyone is somewhat confident in holding the city for a while. However, they did not expect that Xinbi, under Liu Yu, secretly colluded with Yuan Shao, opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and led Yuan Shao's army into the city.
Two hundred thousand troops entered the city. His men wanted to rescue Liu Yu, but Liu Yu refused to leave. He said that he would die with the city. In the end, his men could only rescue Liu He and some of Liu Yu's family members from Xindu. He defected to Liu Zhe, and everyone else died in the rebellion.
"An Wen (a fictional character written by Liu He)," Liu Zhe said to him, "You go down and rest first."
"Uncle, Anwen is not tired. Anwen will go with uncle to avenge his father." Liu He shook his head, his eyes firm.
"Okay." Liu Zhe felt relieved when he saw Liu Zhe like this. He nodded and said, "Then you will follow me and when the time comes, you will kill your enemies and avenge your father."
"Set off!"
Liu Zhe gave the order and the army set off again in great strength.
This time, they joined the 100,000 troops who came from Bingzhou.
At the same time, the 50,000-strong army from Youzhou, led by Xu Shu, attacked Bohai County with murderous intent.
