If Xiahou Dun followed the originally planned route, Xiahou Dun should have led his troops from Cao Wei's territory, which is the corner where Jizhou and Youzhou are connected. Although it would take a long way to go.

Roads, and a lot of food and grass will be lost because of the lack of waterways, but it is always safe and will not conflict with the actors.

However, when Xiahou Dun came to this area, he thought that Wei Gong had ceded most of the land of Jizhou to Xi Yu in order to seek peace with Xi Yu, but Xi Yu, the bastard, broke his promise and stabbed Cao Jun in the back. Xiahou Dun's

A nameless anger surged in his heart.

In addition, in the previous meeting in front of the palace, Xi Zhicai continued to increase the popularity of others and destroy his own prestige. Everyone in the court was extremely afraid of the Xi Jia army. When he thought of this matter, Xiahou Dun became even more angry.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun, who was blinded by anger, directly ordered his troops to abandon the originally planned route, and instead directly improved it to march from Jizhou to Xiyu's territory, thus arriving at

Youzhou’s order.

After hearing Xiahou Dun's order to join the army, he immediately dissuaded him.

"General, no! The front is the Xi Gong's territory. If we march from the Xi Gong's land, there will be consequences if we offend the Xi Gong."

However, before Suijun could say anything, Xiahou Dun slapped Suijun directly on the face.

"You bastard! So what if you offend the opera thief? If you have the ability, let's fight with real swords and guns! Listen to my order, everyone will march immediately according to the newly established route. If there is any resistance along the way, they will be killed without mercy!"

Although he said that, Xiahou Dun felt that he was just borrowing a way out, so how much trouble could he cause?

But from the moment his army entered Jizhou, his army trampled on farmland and had fierce conflicts with local farmers.

As soon as they got the news, the local defenders immediately set off to support them. However, the number of defenders was too small. Even though the defenders and local farmers were very brave, they were just ordinary troops specially set up to suppress banditry.

, how can it be compared to the elites of the Cao family who specialize in field warfare.

For a time, the entire eastern part of Jizhou was in a state of chaos. Wherever Cao Jun went, not even a blade of grass grew.

Although the army led by Xiahou Dun marched very quickly and reached Youzhou very quickly, the whole journey gave Xiahou Dun a great shock.

Not to mention the local farmers, when they saw the Cao family's army approaching, they showed no fear at all and continued to resist Cao's army with their crude weapons.

Just talking about the bravery of the soldiers stationed in the local area made Xiahou Jun feel deeply shocked. Although these soldiers were few in number and their weapons and equipment were not as good as Cao Jun's, they all fought bravely and resisted to the death. Often they were

The battle will not end until the last person.

Xiahou Dun was very shocked. These people had taken some kind of ecstasy from Xi Yu, and each of them fought so fearlessly.

At this moment, the news that Cao Wei's army was invading Jizhou had already reached Xiapi City.

Looking at the casualty report in his hand, Xi Yu's eyes were filled with endless anger.

"Xiahou Dun, a great general, robbed the land and killed the people like a bandit!"

In fact, if Xiahou Dun said that he was simply borrowing a road, and if the local farmers and defenders did not resist when he borrowed the road, then things might not have reached this point, and no people in Jizhou would have died.

.

However, Xiahou Dun's mistake was that he underestimated the will of the people of Jizhou to protect the country, and his mistake was that he underestimated the strong determination of the local garrison soldiers to protect the country.

It was the strong will of the local people and the defenders that made this incident amplified by them, and also caused the bloodshed to occur.

Looking at the report that more than two thousand people were killed and thousands injured, Xi Yu felt extremely angry. He took the report and kept mumbling.

"Tomorrow I will personally go out to conquer Youzhou! Kill the old traitor Xiahou with his blood to comfort the spirits of the soldiers who died in the battle!"

"Old thief Xiahou! I have no sworn relationship with you! Old thief Xiahou! I have no sworn relationship with you!"

The angry Xi Yu kept shouting, his voice getting louder and louder, and even later, Xi Yu directly punched the table, hammering the table in half.

The people in the meeting hall originally came to persuade the actor not to fight in person, but when they saw the actor in such a state, no one dared to say anything for a while.

Even because of Xi Yu's expression, he couldn't help but be infected.

After a while, Xi Yu took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"Jia Xu, you should personally count the number of soldiers and civilians who died in this incident, and then go and give them a separate monument in the Temple of Heroes. You must always warn the world! At the same time, you must give large sums of money to the families of the victims.

All families of the deceased will be exempted from taxes for three years."

In fact, this matter is not managed by Jia Xu, but after all, this matter is a matter that can accumulate evil deeds. For a person like Jia Xu who has done a lot of conspiracy, Xi Yu is really afraid that he will be punished by God that day.

take away.

As for the attack on Youzhou, Xi Yu was also very angry because of Xiahou Dun's murder. However, Xi Yu had a plan to attack Youzhou, but he always struggled with not having a suitable reason.

Well, now Xiahou Dun is here, and he did something like this. You are really sleepy and want to sleep, and someone will hand you a pillow.

In fact, when he told Xun Yu that he wanted to conquer Youzhou personally, Xi Yu had a feeling in his heart, a voice kept calling him, as if the matter in Youzhou had to be solved by himself.

But what Xi Yu didn't expect was that this summons actually required him to resolve the grievances between the two of them for many years with Xiahou Dun.

Looking back on his past, Xi Yu found that the path he was taking now seemed to be thanks to Xiahou Dun. Without him, he might not have achieved what he has today.

I think back then, when I went to join Cao Cao, I just wanted to live well in this world and have a hot meal. At that time, I had no intention of making achievements in my heart. All I wanted in my heart was to follow him.

Let Cao Cao enjoy glory and wealth, and help him unify the world and end this troubled world.

But now that Duke Cao has passed away, I have become a more powerful person than before. Although I think about these things all the time and sigh with emotion, today is no longer what it was back then, and I can never go back to who I am now.

Even if he Xiyu wants to turn around now and continue to help the Cao family, his group of generals and counselors will never agree, and neither will the people under his rule.

The past is like smoke, and sooner or later the grudges of the past must be understood.

After the meeting that day, the Confucian scholars of Taiyuan College went into violent mode, writing furiously one by one, and wrote countless articles against thieves.

In addition to the proclamation against thieves, the Confucian scholars from Taiyuan University scolded Xiahou Dun for his cruelty, listed all the things he had done, and angrily accused Cao Pi of being disobedient, and then announced these proclamations against thieves to the world.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an order to Xi Yu to send troops to attack Youzhou and attack Zhezi, who was not a minister. He announced the edict to the world and ordered all the princes and states in the world to cooperate with Xi Yu and jointly attack the traitors.

In addition, in order to commend Xi Yu for his contribution to the successful recovery of Jingzhou, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty made Xi Yu the prime minister, with the title of Duke, and his official position was above that of the officials and princes.

In ancient times, the prime minister Yi Yin of the Shang Dynasty was called Aheng, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou was the prime minister. This time Liu Xie gave Xi Yu the title, using the title of Yi Yin, Duke of Zhou, and adding the title of Duke to the prime minister, which means to show to the world that he Xi Yu

His current achievements are comparable to those of Zhou Gong and Yi Yin.

At the same time, Liu Xie also agreed to the request of the ministers and ministers to reward Xi Yu with Jiuxi, but Xi Yu was about to go out with a large army and could not bear the title and refused.

Can't bear it? What does this mean? Suddenly everyone in the world smelled something unusual.

If he can't afford it now, when will he be able to afford it? Wait until he successfully regains Youzhou, wait until Xiyu takes advantage of the military power of Youzhou's victory, wait until most of the thirteen states in the world are in his hands

?

Later, on the day when Xi Yu refused to add nine tins, the officials once again wrote to the Han Emperor, hoping that the Han Emperor would allow Xi Yu to add nine tins to the gift last time.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Yu was dressed in silver armor, holding a gilded gun with a tiger head, and a divine horse chasing the wind under his crotch. He looked like a mighty general and an illustrious saint. At this moment, Xi Yu was rushing towards the center of Xiapi City, preparing to

Hold a swearing-in ceremony before setting off!

At this moment, in the central area of ​​Xiapi City, 30,000 black knights have been waiting for a long time. There are also 20,000 heavy armor and 30,000 powerful crossbowmen. At this moment, they are also all arranged in neat queues, standing in Xiapi City.

In the middle zone.

Some of the one hundred thousand troops led by Xi Yu in this battle were staying outside the city, and a small part of them were in the city. Everyone stood quietly around the altar with solemn expressions. For a moment, there was an extremely frightening feeling.

A sense of chilling surrounded them.

At this moment, the people in Xiapi City also knew that Xu Gong was going to fight in person once again to avenge the people of Jizhou who were massacred.

At this time, the people also walked out of their homes one after another, standing on both sides of the street, looking at the altar in front of them from a distance.

At this moment, both sides of the street were already crowded with people, and countless people stood on both sides of the road, quietly waiting for the arrival of the opera master.

When they saw the elite black cavalry approaching, the people on both sides of the road were extremely shocked. With such elite soldiers under Xi Gong's command, they would be able to easily defeat the enemy, easily recover Youzhou, and save the people of Youzhou.

In water and fire.

Looking at these elite black knights, countless people picked up their sons and pointed at the elite black knights walking in the street, constantly telling their children that they must sign up when they reach age.

Join the army to serve the actor.

When the time comes, they must train hard and make meritorious deeds. If they can join the Black Riders by then, they will truly be proud of their family and truly honor their ancestors.

At this time, on the altar, Xi Yu looked at the soldiers present and nodded with satisfaction. The army was majestic and magnificent.

Everyone's faces read that I am the best in the world, very good, very good, and you need such energy to fight.

But after looking around the scene, Xi Yu suddenly said:

"Where is General Guan! Where is General Guan?"

Hearing Xi Yu's call, everyone looked at each other for a moment. They were all confused and couldn't figure out why Xi Yu called out to Guan Yu?

Could it be said that the opera master wanted to use Guan Yu's head to sacrifice the flag? But shouldn't the sacrifice of the flag be the head of the enemy? It seems that Guan Yu is not from Cao Wei's side. Doesn't this look bad?

However, although everyone felt very confused, after seeing Xi Yu's serious look on his face, they all lowered their heads and closed their mouths tightly without daring to say a word.

A moment later, Guan Yu was brought to the altar by Xi Yu's men with a confused look on his face.

Looking at the altar and then at Xi Yu with a solemn expression in front of him, Guan Yu also knew that Xi Yu definitely wanted to kill him.

So as soon as he was brought to the altar, he stood there with a cold snort, his face full of endless anger.

"Hmph! Kill or behead them as you please! If someone frowns, he is not a good man!"

Seeing Guan Yu's appearance, Xi Yu immediately thought of a certain statue in his previous life, and was instantly overjoyed.

"Yes, yes, don't move, don't move, it's like this, very good, very good!"

After pulling Guan Yu to the back of the incense table, Xi Yu adjusted Guan Yu's posture and clothes slightly, and was very satisfied with the image of him glaring in the direction of Youzhou.
