Chapter 501
Gradually an hour passed and Li Linfei's attack had not stopped, while those foreigners were already almost scared out of their wits by Li Linfei's battle prowess.
Li Linfei was holding his curved moon spear and kept reaping the heads on the battlefield, all he wanted now was just to kill, no one could catch his sword or hurt him at all!
Those foreigners were already scared out of their wits, the man in front of them was too terrifying, in a short time he had already killed nearly 10,000 people, and no matter how they attacked, they could not hurt him.
On top of that, he didn't seem to run out of energy! This was too terrifying, if they let him go on killing, all of them would really die, and quite a few of them had already beaten a retreat, although the Han land was prosperous, if they even lost their lives, what else could they enjoy.
Gradually people ran away, one led to a few, a few ran away to a few dozen, a few dozen to a few hundred, and then the foreign army broke up.
Guo Jia saw the moment and ordered all the cavalry of the army to charge and ride out the storm.
......
Just like that after a few hours, the battle was over. Don't look at the fighting power of all these Hu people, but because of the previous killing as if they were ghosts and gods, they could hardly form a resistance, just the previous killing aura of Li Linfei and the deeds of 10,000 people were enough to make them lose all their confidence and flee away.
The battlefield was always tragic, even if Li Linfei destroyed the enemy's confidence, and the battle was still extremely costly, with nearly 50,000 dead, plus the wounded, nearly 100,000, but they were still successful, for half a million Hu people were wiped out by this battle, with nearly 200,000 killed in battle, and the rest becoming prisoners, with very few successfully escaping.
These captives were of great use to Li Linfei, as they were used to build the Grand Canal, which was almost ready to be dug, as these Hu people were a very good workforce!
Historically Yang Guang can also be counted as an emperor of the ages, at least higher than Li Shimin's position, only his heart was too eager to do too much timing in his reign time, leading to the death of the Sui dynasty in two generations, while in history and later written as a faint ruler by the Tang dynasty, can be said to be extremely tragic.
Trying to excavate the Grand Canal requires great manpower and material resources, and in terms of material resources Li Linfei need not worry at all.
......
"Why are those reinforcements still not here!" After a period of recuperation, Yuan Shao's condition was much better and he was able to get off his couch and walk.
But seeing the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, his heart squared ah! After the battle with Cao Cao, he had less than 200,000 soldiers at his disposal, while Li Linfei had nearly 600,000 soldiers, plus the presence of Li Linfei, a demon.
"My Lord, there was a movement in the enemy's camp this morning, nearly half of the army was moved away, I believe they went to intercept the reinforcements." At this time, Xu You said.
"What?" Yuan Shao exclaimed in shock, but quickly pretended to calm down, he was at least the third Duke of the fourth generation and had to keep his composure in front of his men.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"My Lord, the Song army has been extremely secretive in this matter, and our army has only just received the news." Xu You said.
In fact, he had reported this matter a long time ago, only Yuan Shao had not read it! But as a good subordinate who knew the leader's mind, he would not speak these words to him, the leader's pot to be subordinate to learn to carry, this is the key to the workplace.
"Well." Yuan Shao nodded his head, although he wanted to scold him, but if they were to join forces, they could not do it with their demoralised army of 200,000, but in his heart he was laughing coldly, Li Lin Fei only brought 300,000 troops to resist his 500,000 iron cavalry, this is not like a fool's dream! That was a cavalry!
And the whole way here was a plain, in such a scenario, the cavalry was almost invincible, Li Linfei was committing suicide!
Even Dong Zhuo was not as hateful as Li Linfei. He had been the leader of the alliance back then and was at the peak of his life, but Li Linfei had embarrassed him time and again.
This was his motivation to move forward. Only when he became emperor could he control how the history books were written and change the direction of public opinion, and not long ago his eldest son Yuan Tan had died at the hands of Li Linfei.
He already wanted to make Li Lin Fei beg for his life, and this time, with 500,000 troops heading south, he would definitely be able to defeat Li Lin Fei.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's face was filled with joy and he shouted loudly, "Li Linfei, you will lose this time! By then your kingdom, everything you own will be mine."
Chapter 502
Just as Yuan Shao was smug, a soldier suddenly ran in.
"Report, my lord, the allied foreign army has been defeated." The soldier said.
"What, what did you say." As soon as Yuan Shao heard this news he obviously did not believe it and, not knowing what strength to use, he lifted the soldier.
In a stern voice, he said, "Defeated, how can an army of half a million be defeated, how is it possible."
"Lord, Lord, my subordinates do not dare to lie about the army, it is indeed defeated." The soldier said in a panic.
"I have half a million troops, they only have 300,000 infantry, how could they be defeated, how could they be defeated." Yuan Shao cursed frantically.
"Lord, please calm your anger." The crowd said.
"My lord, my lord." At that moment another soldier came in in a panic.
"What has happened again."
"My Lord, he, they fought their way in." The soldier said in a panic.
"You, what did you say."
Yuan Shao was ready to go out and take a look when the crowd gave way.
Gradually the sound of bow strings was heard.
"Hahahaha, I, Yuan Shao, am the third of four generations, how could I possibly report to Li Linfei, that raggedy son of a family, hahaha ......."
"Is that so, it seems you are arrogant." A voice rang out.
"Who, who is it." Yuan Shao said with great anger.
"I am the ragged son of the family you speak of."
"It's you, Li Linfei, you're pretending to be a god again!" Yuan Shao, who would never forget this man's voice for the rest of his life, shouted in anger! At the same time there was a deep fear in his words, he had actually come in!
"Li Linfei!" Hearing Yuan Shao shout like that, the people on Yuan Shao's side reacted! Damn you! No wonder this voice sounded so familiar, it was Li Linfei's voice!
Li Linfei came in and said, "Brother Ben Chu, long time no see, ah."
"Hmph, Li Linfei I advise you to leave quickly, or else once my 500,000 reinforcements arrive..." Yuan Shao said deceiving himself.
"Heh." Li Linfei gave Yuan Shao a contemptuous glance, the dog has changed and can't eat shit! You know that 500,000 troops are already gone, and you still want to threaten yourself, do you really think I am made of clay? You know your life is in my hands now!
Yuan Shao was torn by Li Linfei's contemptuous look, he was at least the hegemon of Hebei, yet he was being looked at with such contempt by Li Linfei.
"You must know that those Hu people are not comparable to those soldiers and horses in your hands!"
"Yuan Shao, it has come to this point, and you still deceive yourself and others, half a million troops have been routed for you." Li Linfei said.
"You,......," seeing the lie being demolished, he did not know what to say.
"Now that you know, I declare that you are all going to die!" Li Linfei said coldly, perhaps some of the civil servants here were indeed talented, but they were equally accomplices in drawing the foreigners into China, and they had a share in the sins at the hands of those Hu people, and since before this matter began, Li Linfei had already moved to kill!
"What?" Hearing Li Linfei's words, everyone was dumbfounded, a number of them even had their faces turned white with fear.
"That's right you are all dead, General Zhang, what is your choice, to die in such a nasty way or to follow me." Li Linfei said to Zhang Jaw.
Zhang Jaw was still capable, a good general of the five sons in history, it was a strange pity to die like this.
Zhang Jaw hesitated a little when he heard Li Linfei's words, Yuan Shao was his benefactor, but he was the one who had led the foreigners into the pass.
He hesitated for a moment and then stood behind Li Linfei, who had made his choice.
"Zhang Jaw why are you, I Yuan Shao thought I had treated you well, why did you betray me." Yuan Shao shouted.
"It is true that you have treated me well, but you have gone backwards and lured foreigners into the Pass, I could not stand to see that long ago." Zhang Jaw said.
"Many deeds will kill you. " said Li Linfei, and with that he led Zhang Jaw out, then the archers waiting outside let loose in unison, nearly ten thousand arrows all shot into Yuan Shao's central tent from all sides.
Hearing the screams from inside, Li Linfei was unmoved. :.
"Zhang Jaw I will give you a task. " said Li Linfei.
"Lord, please give the order." Zhang Jaw said.
"You are given one day to gather the remnants of Yuan's army and then integrate them. " said Li Linfei.
"Promise." Then he went to collect the remnants of Yuan's army.
Now Li Linfei was about to return to the camp and summon the generals of the original Cao army to discuss choosing one of Cao Cao's sons to be crowned marquis.
Chapter 503
Xuchang, the former residence of Cao Cao's prime minister.
All has remained the same here, what has changed is that today Li Linfei has arrived here.
He has summoned the former chief generals of Cao's army to discuss the feudal title of the Cao family.
The place where they meet is in the lobby of the Prime Minister's residence, where the casket of Cao Cao used to rest. : The
Soon all the important civil and military officers of the former Cao army arrived, led by Xun Yu in the civil and Cao Ren in the military, the first general Cao Cao had taken over.
"I have gathered you all together today to discuss a matter." Li Linfei said.
"Please command, my Lord." The crowd said.
"Gentlemen, the next step is to open the country to marquises, may I ask you who among the sons of the Cao family can be crowned marquises." Li Linfei suddenly threw out such a bombshell.
"Seal a marquis?" The crowd was taken aback by Li Linfei's remark, although many lords had started to confer marquises indiscriminately after the chaos in the world, making marquises as numerous as dogs these days, no longer the days when Li Guang was difficult to confer, but the regime established by Li Linfei did not confer marquises on a large scale.
Although it is true that he will be rewarded with a number of titles when he ascends the throne, it is customary that there should not be many!
If someone from the Cao clan had been made a marquis, it would have been an absolute honour, and at least anyone who dared to touch the Cao clan in future would have had to think twice about it, especially as Cao Ren, the first great general of the Cao clan, was particularly excited.
With Cao Cao dead, the Cao family was temporarily dominated by him, and he was under great pressure for fear of reprisals. Now it was good that Li Linfei proposed to choose one of Cao Cao's sons to be made a marquis, and that person would be the next generation of Cao family heads.
As long as he and Xiahou were still around, Li Linfei would definitely take care of the Cao family, and no one would dare to touch the Cao family.
But who should be made a marquis? The people were beginning to struggle! Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, had died in the Battle of Guandu, and historically, because Li Linfei occupied Jingzhou, Cao Ang did not die in Wancheng.
The choice for the marquis was then between the sons of Bian, who had borne Cao Cao three sons, Cao Pi, Cao Chang and Cao Zhi! They were unable to choose for a moment.
"Zi Xiao, I heard that brother Mengde had three daughters, Cao Jie, Cao Xian and Cao Hua, all of whom are now of marriageable age, right? !" Li Linfei asked thoughtfully.
Cao Ren was still thinking about which nephew to make the marquis, but when he heard Li Linfei's words, he was completely Spartan and looked at Li Linfei with a dumbfounded look.
Looking at his eyes, Li Linfei knew that he had misunderstood, so he said, "I have three sons, the first son of the First Princess of Han is named Qian, the second son is named You, and the third son is Lady Yan's son Ji. "It was all true, Li Linfei was not lying, but of course when he went back these three boys were not to be taken back with him.
Cao Ren was relieved, if Li Lin Fei really wanted to marry his three nieces, there was no way he would have agreed.
The first wife of Li Linfei's first son! That was the first wife! If this first son did not do anything wrong, then this son would be the crown prince, and his niece would be the crown prince's concubine, and he could even be said to be the mother of the whole world, which was already the greatest favour!
Even those ministers who first followed Li Linfei would not have been treated like this!
Cao was going to reach! If this was still refused, then he was out of his mind!
As for the three nieces marrying together, this was not a problem at all, the harem was always chaotic, and the three sisters marrying together would help in the court battles. As the leader of the Cao clan, he agreed at once.
"So who will be crowned marquis? Who will be made marquis?" Li Linfei asked again, he was very good to his good friends, Cao Cao could entrust everything to himself, he also had to take care of his family to a certain extent!
Cao Ren hesitated, decided by himself, he was good really bad, said, after all, are nephews, then he put his eyes to the head of the civil servants Xun or. .
Xun Yu was Cao Cao's chief minister, Cao Cao relied on him, if not for him, Cao Cao would not have lasted three months, let alone a month, because Xun or sat at the rear and raised provisions for Cao Cao, only to allow Cao Cao to last three months.
When Xun Yu saw Cao Ren looking at him, he remembered what Cao Cao had said to himself during his last battle.
"Wenruo, today you remember what I said, if I die in battle, the head of the Cao clan cannot be Cao Pi, if it is a chaotic time Cao Pi is the best choice, but Cao Bu grew up with a deep mind, even I cannot read his mind, I am afraid that my former subordinates harbour dissent, I am afraid that he will be urged to have ambition and make Li Linfei's rebellion then what? "
Even if one's relationship with Li Linfei was good, Cao Pi would never forgive him if he rebelled, so Cao Pi could never be the head of the Cao family, especially under such circumstances.
"The second son, Cao Chang, has inherited his military talents and is even better than blue in his personal martial arts, he is definitely a general material, his future does not need to worry about himself, the title is at most a good starting point for him, but with my relationship with Li Linfei, as long as Chang's son is really talented, why not have the opportunity to build a successful career, it is only a matter of time before he is crowned a marquis.
