Chapter 230 Cao Cao’s worries

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

"We are Wuhuan people, please spare us!"

"Please, please spare us!"

A village more than a hundred miles outside Liucheng has been reduced to a living hell.

A vanguard unit of the Xianbei people encountered this village while exploring the road ahead.

They rushed into the villages, killed, burned, looted, raped and looted in the villages.

Among the houses in the village, women's screams continued to be heard. One by one, the Xianbei men walked out with their pants lifted, and then, one after another, the Xianbei men walked into the house.

In the evening, these big Xianbei men were all done with their work, so they burned the house down.

Even the women in the house were burned to ashes.

"Master Helian, if we do this and let the Wuhuan people know about it, will they hold us accountable?" A Xianbei general asked the leading Xianbei people.

The leader is Helian, a nobleman among the Xianbei people.

The young man named He Lian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the Wuhuan people will not recognize these bastards."

"It doesn't matter if they know about it. Besides, we haven't left anyone alive."

"If the Wuhuan people discover it, we will say this is a Han village."

The Wuhuan people were the earliest naturalized grassland barbarians. During the Liu Yu and Yuan Shao periods, many Wuhuan people intermarried with Han people.

These Wuhuan and Han people who intermarried were located outside Liucheng and within the grassland.

That is, in the middle position between the Han and Wuhuan people, villages were built one after another.

These villages are the same villages that are now being burned, killed, and looted by the Xianbei people.

After all, these villages outside Liucheng are half Han Chinese.

Half a month ago, Prime Minister Cao had sent people to ask these villages to take refuge within Liucheng as soon as possible to avoid being persecuted by the grassland barbarians.

However, it’s hard to persuade the damn ghost!

I don't know whether it was because they couldn't leave their homeland, or because they thought they had half of Wuhuan's bloodline, so they didn't take refuge in Liucheng.

Instead, he chose to stay in the village.

The consequences of their staying were already obvious. They were directly killed by Xianbei's vanguard troops, leaving no one alive!

On the grassland, the three largest ethnic groups are the Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes.

At one time, the Huns were the most powerful.

However, after various attacks on the Xiongnu throughout the Han Dynasty, first by Wei Qing and then by Huo Qubing, the Xiongnu's power was no longer what it used to be.

In these years, the Wuhuan took over the position of the Xiongnu and became the largest foreign race on the grassland.

Although the Xianbei were not as powerful as the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, they were the most wild among the three tribes.

Among these three tribes, the Xianbei are most like uncivilized savages.

This vanguard force of the Xianbei people camped near this village at night, and they were roasting sheep on the bonfire.

That's right, two-legged sheep.

Early the next morning.

Liucheng.

"Report" A scout hurried over, knelt on one knee in front of Cao Cao, and reported: "Prime Minister, the large armies of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan tribes are less than thirty miles away from us."

"All the villages along the way have been reduced to scorched earth!"

Prime Minister Cao stood on the wall of Liucheng, his hand holding the Yitian Sword at his waist tightened slightly.

The villages outside the city, where at least half of the Wuhuan bloodline still existed, suffered such cruel attacks.

All the people in Liucheng are Han Chinese!

If these Han people fell into the hands of the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes, the consequences can be imagined.

Once Liucheng is destroyed, the entire city will turn into scorched earth.

Cao Cao has given the order to live and die with Liucheng!

This is not just talk, Cao Cao really gained everything he had in this battle.

If he wins this battle, then from now on he, Cao Cao, will have great righteousness, and no one in the world will be able to criticize him from the moral high ground.

If anyone wants to criticize Cao Cao from the highest point of morality, then Cao Cao only needs to ask, I defeated the Wuhuan, the Xiongnu, and the three tribes. Which of you can do it? If you can do it, then criticize me.

Even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing only defeated one Xiongnu.

If Cao Cao wins this battle, he will defeat the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes at the same time. He will be the hero of the Han Dynasty.

But if Cao Cao were defeated and Youzhou was lost, the North would be nakedly exposed to the hooves of the foreigners on the grassland.

At that time, Cao Cao had the grassland aliens in front of him, Liu Biao and Sun Jian in the back, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Bingzhou on the left, and Liu Zhang in Shu on the right.

Once this battle is defeated, Cao Cao will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and he will not be far from defeat.

Cao Cao cannot afford to lose this battle, no matter what!

This battle is about the fate of the country.

This is a battle for national destiny.

If he wins, Cao Cao's momentum has been achieved and no one in the world can stop him. It is only a matter of time before he unifies the world.

It has been more than ten years since the eighteen princes challenged Dong. If Cao Cao loses, more than ten years of hard work will be in vain.

In this battle, no matter what, Cao Cao did not allow himself to fail.

His words about living and dying with Liucheng were not just words.

If he dies, he, Cao Mengde, will also die in a dignified manner on this willow city.

"Send the order!"

"All ministries and generals must be on guard. If anyone loses the city wall, I will chop off his head without mercy!"

"Xia Houen, you hold the green sword as the formation supervisor. Anyone who is timid in the formation will be killed without mercy, regardless of their official position." Cao Cao's cold voice sounded.

After giving the order, Cao Cao turned to the military advisor Jia Xu and said, "Wen He, do you think we can win this battle?"

In this battle, Cao Cao does not seem to have an advantage.

In terms of military strength, the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes totaled more than 500,000.

On Cao Cao's side, Cao Ren on the Jieshi Road had one hundred thousand, the brothers Xiahou on the Bailang Road had one hundred thousand, and here on Liucheng, there were one hundred and fifty thousand.

Cao Cao's army is only 350,000 at full strength, and among these 350,000, there are still many new soldiers.

If we have to talk about advantages, then Cao Cao's only advantage is to occupy the advantage of the terrain!

However, the current battle can be said to be the largest battle of alien invasion in recent decades.

Even Prime Minister Cao has no idea!

Of course, Cao Cao was unsure, not because he was worried that he would not be able to defeat the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes.

With the terrain advantages of Liucheng, and the fact that Bailang Road and Jieshi Road are at the horns of each other, Cao Cao was confident that he would have 350,000 troops and 500,000 troops.

What Cao Cao was worried about was his rear, his hometown.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, what Cao Cao is most worried about now is that these two families will take advantage of this moment to sneak attack on his base camp!

You know, all of Cao Cao's elite soldiers and generals are in Liucheng. At this time, if someone steals his home, it will be troublesome.
