Chapter 1219: Youzhou, all in the palm of your hand!
After Zhang Jiao's death, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, as if they had pulled out their bones, could no longer support them.
Bai Xiaowen said "those who surrender will not die", and let the remaining hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers lay down their weapons.
Inspecting the soldiers, more than half of the 5,000 men and horses of the Youzhou Army were lost, and Bai Xiaowen's flesh-wing cavalry also lost more than 100 people.
It's all money.
Bai Xiaowen sighed, and then ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Fortunately, the dead hussars, armor weapons, etc. can be recovered, and if you retrain, you can quickly replenish the number.
Of course, the hussars' pension costs a lot of money, and Bai Xiaowen will certainly not be stingy with this.
Now the hussars have experienced the baptism of battle, they are veterans of the battlefield, and their adaptability is very fast.
The money, food, and iron tools of the camp of the Yellow Turban Army were not very much. This defeated army itself relied on Guo Cai's "smuggling" to barely feed, and it would be good to be able to eat enough, how much surplus grain there was. However, he has hundreds of young men and women, and they are all veterans after a hundred battles, which is already good.
"All the baggage captured by the Yellow Turban Army camp will be escorted to the Youzhou Mansion Treasury, and I will not take anything!" Bai Xiaowen said, "The captives are handed over to General Bai Sanniang's winged cavalry to guard, and there is no room for error." ”
"Yes. Cecilia Adam agreed.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the two Youzhou military generals, and they were silent about Bai Xiaowen's assignment.
In fact, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan were a little apprehensive in their hearts.
In this battle, most of the 5,000 men and horses they brought out were lost, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the winged cavalry led by Gongzi Yuan Xi, the two of them would probably not be able to survive.
As for the credit, it was Gongzi Yuan Xi who killed Zhang Jiao, and even if they were Yuan Shao's subordinates, they didn't dare to compete with Gongzi for credit.
Bai Xiaowen doesn't need to have any bad intentions, as long as he reports the facts, the two generals will definitely be punished, and maybe he will have to carry a mediocre and incompetent test sentence with no way to lead troops.
Referring to the general Yuan Shao's cold attitude towards his subordinates, Jiao Feng and Zhang Nan both felt that they were likely to be cool......
"Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, come here. Bai Xiaowen said.
The two generals glanced at each other and walked in front of Bai Xiaowen silently. Jiao Touch first knelt down on one knee, Zhang Nan glanced at him, and hurriedly did the same.
Jiao Touch: "The last general congratulates the son, he has achieved this great achievement, his fame has moved the world, and the days are just around the corner." ”
Zhang Nan: "...... It's the same with me. ”
Jiao Touch: "The last general will read poetry and books roughly, and he also knows the word loyalty." If Gongzi does not give up, Jiao is willing to follow Gongzi in the future, but Gongzi is the first to look forward!"
Zhang Nan: "...... I'm the same!"
Jiao Touch: "The last general never thought that the enemy army was so cruel, and it was a great crime to lose troops in this battle." Please help me, Childe!"
Zhang Nan (with tears in his eyes): "I'm the same!"
Bai Xiaowen originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time, but he didn't expect these two generals to be so interesting.
I don't know if it's the influence of high charisma, or the prestige bonus brought by killing Zhang Jiao, which is initially revealed?
Anyway, the two Youzhou generals bowed their heads, which is a good thing.
Since you're interested, don't beat it too much.
Bai Xiaowen coughed, and stepped forward to help him with a pleasant face: "General Jiao, General Zhang, please get up." ”
"How can there be an undefeated general in the world? Although the two generals in this battle are at fault, they can't all blame you, it's because you have too few soldiers!"
Bai Xiaowen sighed, "The so-called lion fights the rabbit, and he also does his best." When I found out about the Yellow Turban Thief, I concluded that the other party must have something to fear. I wanted you to bring more soldiers and horses and succeed in the first battle, but it's a pity that ......"
Bai Xiaowen didn't continue, looking a little embarrassed.
Of course, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan knew that letting them take 5,000 men and horses to the expedition was an order from the Guandu battalion. The second son is a venerable man, of course, he can't directly point to his father's fault.
Bai Xiaowen continued: "Because I was worried about the two generals and so many Youzhou soldiers, I forced General Bai Sanniang to lead the winged cavalry who had just formed an army to sweep the formation in the rear. If the two generals can exterminate the thieves, that's the best, and I don't need to disobey my father's orders and send troops privately......"
Jiao was grateful, and knelt down again to thank him: "The two of us can survive, and it all depends on the son." ”
Zhang Nan hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.
Bai Xiaowen helped the two of them up again and encouraged: "Two generals, don't lose your spirit because of this battle." In today's troubled times, wouldn't it be nice for a husband to bring a three-foot sword, make immortal achievements, and seal his wife and son? If Yuan Xi can get the help of the two generals, great things can be expected. ”
The two swore allegiance again without mentioning it.
As the boss of the two and the biggest hero of this battle, Bai Xiaowen wants to help the two cover up their sins, but it is actually very simple.
As long as they write a report letter to Guandu, it is enough to give them some of the credit for breaking Zhang Jiao.
At this point, Bai Xiaowen can be regarded as having completely mastered the military power of Youzhou.
As for the financial rights, there are also long history Zhao Rong's constraints. However, Bai Xiaowen has already tried to contact Liu He through Yan Rou, if he can win Liu He's heart, then it will be easy to override Zhao Rong.
These civil and military generals of the aborigines of the plane are all at the leader level, and the more they receive, the better.
Although they can't be used to help fight bosses - the aborigines' participation in the war will reduce their rating a lot and cause the rewards to shrink - but being able to call on so many aboriginal leaders for their own use will make the Awakened more powerful in their own plane, and of course they will be able to seek more benefits.
Especially when it comes to the status of the leader of the faction forces, the leaders of the ordinary small forces who do not enter the stream will not be granted an almost unlimited stay time. Only when the strategists under his command are like clouds, the fierce generals are like rain, and the plane of stomping is shaking, can he be regarded as the leader of the "camp force"!
Bai Xiaowen's overall plan has been basically completed and he is very satisfied.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Bai Xiaowen ordered Zhang Jiao's body to be loaded in a coffin, and led the troops to the nearest Xiangping City to rest for a while.
The large and small families of the four counties of Liaodong, after seeing the recruitment list, a considerable number of people rushed over to take refuge because of the fame of the Yuan family.
Bai Xiaowen met with this group of people.
The announcement of Bai Xiaowen's killing of Zhang Jiao shocked these family representatives, and they praised Bai Xiaowen's exploits.
I believe that after this news spreads, other family members in the four counties of Liaodong who are in a wait-and-see state will also quickly come to Bai Xiaowen, this is the influence brought by the high prestige.
However, Bai Xiaowen also got an unexpected news...... Guo Cai, who was in prison, heard the news of Zhang Jiao's death in battle somewhere, and actually committed suicide.
"Although he is a thief, he is also a loyal man. Thick burial. Bai Xiaowen said.
He sighed, and remembered the poem that Zhang Jiao had recited before he died.
The Han dynasty overturned, and the world was in harmony. He is the sky, how thin he is to me!
Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising and relied on Taoism to fight against the Han court, with good intentions, wanting to save the people from the torment of fire and water and create a world of great harmony.
Without such a lofty goal, it would be impossible to gather loyal followers like Guo Cai.
It's a pity that Zhang Jiao is a monk but not a military wizard, and his command ability is lacking. The Yellow Turban Army lacked strict military discipline, was ineffective in combat, and its reputation was ruined, and it gradually lost the support of the people, and even lost the luck of fighting for the world, otherwise Zhang Jiao would not need to rely on Taoism to disobey the number of days.
Of course, the more important reason is that it was born at the wrong time!
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, the stars gathered, and it was a world of great contention, and good ministers and fierce generals emerged in endlessly.
Think about it, but in what era, when the Central Plains fell apart, could still control the Wuhuan in the north, the barbarians in the south, the Qiang in the west, and the Goryeo in the east...... And so on all over the foreign race, all packed up and obedient?
Only Three Kingdoms!
From the moment when the Eastern Han Dynasty allowed the princes from all over the country to recruit private soldiers, Zhang Jiao's enemies were no longer just the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the whole world, and the princes of all towns were countless good ministers and fierce generals who came out at the right time!
If Zhang Jiao had been born in another era, maybe he could really have made a difference.
Bai Xiaowen didn't mourn for Guo Cai, that was too hypocritical. After ordering a thick burial, the matter was revealed.
Bai Xiaowen rolled up another wave of money...... Oh no, to be exact, after accepting a batch of gold and silver from the Liaodong family, he ordered the class teacher.
With the power of victory, return to Beiping City, Youzhou.
General Yan Rou, who was guarding the city, as well as Liu He and Changshi Zhao Rong, took the rest of the officials of Youzhou City out of the city to greet them.
Don't drive Liu He has already listened to Yan Rou's words and returned to Bai Xiaowen.
What made Bai Xiaowen feel both unexpected and reasonable, and the key was that Zhao Rong, the long history, followed Liu He closely and showed his loyalty-in this way, there was no need to bother with him anymore.
Youzhou is already in the palm of my hand! It's time to open a wave of treasure chests to celebrate.
