Chapter 1152: Younan Pacification
A gun-wielding general who looked very majestic shouted at Fan Lihua while attacking: "A certain family is General Dayan Zhendong......" It's a pity that this person's skills are not at home, and when he speaks, the movements of his hands are also slow, and Fan Lihua did not waste this opportunity, and took the opportunity to shoot him without listening to his self-report. This article is written by: Starting
In just ten minutes, Fan Lihua solved the remaining opponents. Liu Yu was afraid that she would be exhausted for a long time, so he called her back.
"Lord, how am I doing? Didn't embarrass you, did you? As soon as Fan Lihua returned to Liu Yu's side, she asked Liu Yu for credit.
"You're doing well!" Liu Yu leaned over and straightened the somewhat scattered armor for her, regardless of the strange eyes of Luan Fengwei around him, he kissed Fan Lihua's red face, and then said softly: "Not only did you not embarrass me, but you played the prestige of my Liu family, and your name of 'General Luan Feng' will definitely spread all over the world in the future......"
Just when Liu Yu and Fan Lihua were slight, Zhang Ju pressed the army and rushed towards them. Liu Yu shook his head and sighed: Why did you go earlier?! Obviously I had an absolute superiority in troops, but I wanted to fight alone, so I sent five people to my prospective woman to sacrifice guns. Not only did it lose five generals, but it also dealt a great blow to the morale of the army......
Looking at the swarming enemy troops, Liu Yu shouted coldly: "Hold the bow." ”
The Beiwei army immediately changed their formation, the first row was composed of heavily armored guards with large shields, and the second and third rows were other guards who were bent and ready to shoot in turn. Even Luan Fengwei took out a special small repeater and formed a circle to protect Liu Yu inside.
It's a pity that Liu Yu's preparation did not achieve great results. Because most of the enemy soldiers were shot by the archers who suddenly appeared on the city wall before they entered Liu Yu's firing range, the battle had been going on for more than twenty minutes, and none of the enemies had been able to rush to the arm's length in front of Liu Yu's formation.
Just when Liu Yu felt a little bored. Zhang Ju's rear suddenly became chaotic. Although Liu Yu couldn't see the situation there, he could guess that one of the three armies attacked Zhang Ju's army from behind. Just as Liu Yu was guessing who had come to remember the carbine, Zhang Jujun's left and right formations were also chaotic. Liu Yu immediately understood that the military advisors who dared to love him used him as bait to catch Zhang Ju's fish, and then wrapped his dumplings in one fell swoop.
Taking advantage of Zhang Jujun's chaos, Liu Yuyungong spread his voice throughout the audience: "Those who kneel on the ground live, and those who carry weapons die!" ”
Almost at the same time as Liu Yu's voice fell. The center of the battlefield resounded with the sound of clanging iron weapons. Liu Yu looked ahead in disbelief, and as far as his eyes could see, only Zhang Ju and the few hundreds of people around him were still standing there at a loss.
After a while, Zhang Ju seemed to react. He angrily drew his sword and slashed at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground. After he cut two people in a row, he ordered his cronies to cut them together. This caused public outrage, and in just ten minutes, Zhang Ju and his cronies were chopped into pulp.
looked at the soldiers who knelt on the ground again after killing Zhang Ju. Liu Yu had to sigh. Waving his hand to signal the advisers to deal with the follow-up matters, he led the team back to the city.

"Lord, I think the timing of General Huang's return to help is a little too coincidental!" After washing, Fan Lihua looked at Liu Yu's careful wording.
"What kind of reinforcement? They've been lying in ambush there for a long time! Liu Yu pouted and said.
"I see. The lord used his body as bait to lure Zhang Ju into the encirclement and catch it all, this plan of yours is really ingenious. But you can't put yourself in danger in the future, and you have to be for the princess, them, and me...... Our military and civilians in Yuzhou take care! Fan Lihua's voice, which mixed admiration and worry, sounded in Liu Yu's ears.
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "This is the plan I made!" I don't even know anything! ”
The air in the bedroom condensed, and after half a salary, Fan Lihua asked hesitantly: "Lord, you mean, you didn't know at first that you would become a bait to kill Zhang Ju?" ”
"Yes."
"This group of people is so bold. Dare to ignore the safety of the lord and carry out this risky plan, hum. It seems that they have to report to the princess for teaching them a lesson, otherwise I don't know what this group of pampered and arrogant civil and military generals will do to the lord in the future! Fan Lihua's cold voice was full of murderous aura.
"Forget it, I'm fine, am I? What's more, I didn't go to the polemic myself, which is not to blame the military advisors! ”
"It's absolutely not going to work!" Fan Lihua said with a sinking face: "Even if the lord didn't participate in the debate, can't they tell you afterwards?" You trust them, but they deceive you when your term expires...... If you don't teach them a lesson, they might even let you do more dangerous things next time! ”
Looking at Fan Lihua's indignant appearance, Liu Yu was extremely helpless, so he had no choice but to make a promise to teach Guo Jia a good lesson.
Early the next morning, as soon as Liu Yu and Fan Lihua entered the conference hall, more than a dozen pairs of red eyes looked at him. Liu Yu was startled, and when he took a closer look, he found that it was Liu Yu, Guo Jia, Yu Ban and others, it seemed that they had stayed up all night to make post-war statistics!
"Master Hou, we won, really won!" Liu Yu greeted Liu Yu happily as soon as he saw him, and he was still talking nonsense that Liu Yu had known for a long time.
Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder like he did with his juniors, and nodded to Guo Jia, Yu Ban and other subordinates who saluted him, and then sat on the main seat and said: "Although Zhang Ju has been ambushed, Zhang Chun still occupies Beiping County, Qiu Liju is still biting Dai County and has not let go, and Yuyang County is still in the hands of Zhang Juyu's party. It's too early to be happy, right? ”
Liu Yu's old face was slightly red, but his eyes glanced at Guo Jia. Guo Jia hugged the small stove and shrunk into a ball, and said in a sluggish spirit: "Yesterday's battle only took half an hour with the help of the lord's divine might, and the strength of the armies from all walks of life was not damaged, so after repairing for three hours, they have already rushed to their original destinations. Within twenty days. We will put an end to the war in the south! ”
Liu Yu immediately took the opportunity to ask, "I haven't asked you about yesterday?" Why don't you use me as bait and not tell me? ”
Liu Yu was dumbfounded when he listened to it, and stammered and asked, "Hou... Master Hou, it's difficult... Didn't you know about yesterday's plan beforehand? ”
"Do you need to ask?" Liu Yu replied angrily. Then glared fiercely at Guo Jia and Yu Ban.
Yu Ban immediately knelt on the ground and explained in fear: "My lord, the minister doesn't know anything. It's just that according to the orders of Guo Junshi, Fan Yang's army has been trained into archers, and I hope that the lord will see clearly! ”
"I know." Liu Yu helped Yu Ban up, patted him on the shoulder again, and comforted him with a pleasant face: "Wen Ze, you haven't done anything wrong, you are an upright soldier." How can there be so many twists and turns?! ”
Yu Ban glanced at Liu Yu gratefully, and then glared at Guo Jia hatefully, with a look of righteous indignation, "How can you deceive the lord". Guo Jia ignored him. Instead, he stood up and gave Liu Yu a look. Masaseki asked, "Has the lord learned his lesson?" ”
Liu Yu and Yu Ban both opened their mouths wide and looked at this guy who not only did not admit his mistakes, but also spoke to his lord in a tone of lessons. And Liu Yu's back suddenly felt a chill, obviously Fan Lihua had already killed Guo Jia. "What do you mean?" Liu Yu asked while secretly patting Fan Lihua's pink legs, signaling her to calm down.
"As a lord, although you can give your subordinates a certain amount of trust. But not too much. Just like the lord did that day, he will let go of the right to transfer troops. It's not advisable to turn around and leave without asking anything. If the lord is entrusted to a non-person, then where is the lord's own safety, and where is the minister's and the people under his rule......" Guo Jia became more and more excited the more he spoke, and accidentally choked on saliva and coughed violently.
"How did you do it, be careful...... Liu Yu stepped forward to pat him on the back and explained to himself: "I have always been 'not suspicious of employing people, not suspicious of people'." I have long said that I trust you. I not only trust in your ability to govern. Trust your loyalty more. Who said that when you are a lord, you must guard against your subordinates, do I have to guard against myself? ”
Guo Jia suddenly fell to the ground and cried: "The lord's kindness to his ministers. The death of the minister is not enough to revenge! ”
Yu Ban also ran to join in the fun at this time, knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Being able to serve under the lord is the greatest blessing for the minister!" ”
Glancing at Liu Yu who was full of envy, Liu Yu helped them up, and then said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Fengxiao, remember to tell me before you kid use me as bait in the future, it doesn't matter if you hurt me, if you hurt my woman, then I won't let you go!" ”
Guo Jia wiped his tears and said a little embarrassedly: "The minister didn't expect that the lord would really bring people to the battlefield, this is the minister's miscalculation." After speaking, he made a big salute to Fan Lihua and said, "Please forgive Captain Fan, I will never make this mistake again in the future." ”
Fan Lihua, who was cold-faced and kind-hearted, saw that Guo Jia's original intention was for Liu Yu's good, so she nodded to him and forgave him, but Guo Jia actually said inch by inch: "I hope that Captain Fan will also say a good word or two for me in front of the princess." Fan Lihua had no choice but to nod again.
At this time, Liu Yu also walked over and said to Liu Yu in an emotional voice: "It is not until today that I really know the Hou Ye, and it is not until today that I know why there are so many virtuous ministers and warriors who are loyal to serve the Hou Ye." It is really a blessing for me to have a pillar like Hou Ye, and it is also a blessing for my royal family to have a son-in-law like Hou Ye! ”
Liu Yu smiled faintly, got back to the point, and asked, "How are the results counted?" ”
Liu Yu pulled Liu Yu to sit down, and then called "Mr. Trial" to the crowd sitting next to him. A Confucian scholar with a thin face and a beard under his chin, who was over thirty years old, stood up. Liu Yu introduced Liu Yu: "Fan Yangcheng can hold out for so long under the onslaught of the enemy, all thanks to this Mr. Zhengnan. It's a pity that he was injured at home before his brother came, and he didn't recover until a few days ago. ”
Matching? Yuan Shao's diehard strategist in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?! Liu Yu stood up with a smile and greeted him: "Mr. Trial, hello!" ”
The judge did not return the salute to Liu Yu, but looked at Liu Yu in a daze for a while. Just when Liu Yu felt strange, he actually knelt in front of Liu Yu and said: "I am willing to serve the Lord and serve the work of dogs and horses, and I hope that the Lord will take it in!" ”
Is there any mistake? While I'm glad you automatically pledged your allegiance to me, can't you say it to me in private? Just jumped to me in front of the old master who had a good relationship with me, didn't you make it difficult for me?
Liu Yu is also a smart master. He said to Liu Yu in time: "Master Hou, you can accept Mr. Judge!" Ever since Mr. Shen took refuge in my Fanyang City, he has been working tirelessly to assist me in relocating refugees and commanding the defense, and I have wanted to appoint Mr. Shen as my other driver in Youzhou several times. But he kept refusing. It is only now that I understand that 'the king should choose the minister, and the minister should choose the king'. Master Hou, you are the master worthy of Mr. Trial's follow! ”
Since Liu Yu said so, Liu Yu also put aside his concerns, helped up the trial, and smiled happily: "Mr. Shen, welcome to join!" ”
The judge was happier than Liu Yu and said: "Lord, Rong Chen will report yesterday's results for you!" ”
"Please!"
"Yesterday's battle. Our army killed more than 17,600 rebels, captured 43,833 rebels, and captured 21,452 horses. More than 32,900 stones of grain and grass were seized, more than 1.7 million taels of gold, silver and jewelry, and hundreds of siege equipment of various types were seized. ”
Zhang Ju was quite poor, and the grain and grass he brought with him was only enough for 100,000 troops to eat for two months. More than 170,000 taels? It was the first time that Liu Yu had captured such a small amount of war money. However, the more than 20,000 war horses made Liu Yu a lot happier, which was nearly forty percent of all the war horses in Liu Yu and Yuzhou! Even if Liu Yu is given half of it, Liu Yu can have more than 10,000. At that time, there will be more than 60,000 cavalry in Yuzhou. This should be a lot among the princes of the world! Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but be even more happy, and asked casually: "How many specific losses are there of our army?" ”
This question is not something that can be answered by the trial who has just joined Liu Yujun, so Guo Jia consciously stood up and replied: "Our army has killed 374 people, 863 people are seriously injured and can no longer fight, and those who are slightly injured are not counted!" ”
"Where are the captives now?"
Guo Jia glanced at Yu Ban, Yu Ban nodded and stood up and said, "The minister and General Guan Hai have built a big village outside the city to accommodate these more than 40,000 prisoners, and now General Guan Hai is still guarding there with 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Liu Yu thought for a while and asked Guo Jiadao: "How many propagandists did Dong Zhao send to accompany the army this time?" ”
"Eight hundred and sixty in all." Guo Jia obviously understood what Liu Yu meant, and continued: "When the Three-Way Vanguard Army set off. The ministers have allocated 200 men to them, and now there are 260 people waiting for the lord's orders! ”
"Okay, put them all in that group of captives. Well, Wen Ze, you have to work hard, and train the prisoners who are willing to continue to be soldiers into the Fan Yang Army. Fengxiao, you redivide the troops of the Fan Yang army, I don't want to see the city full of archers! Due south, you are in charge of dealing with the remaining captives. ”
The three of them all accepted the order respectfully, Liu Yu glanced at everyone and asked, "Where did Wen Ruo and Gongda go?" ”
Guo Jia's eyes all fell on Liu Yu, Liu Yu's state pastoral uncle first shouted, "How did I forget this", and then looked at Liu Yu embarrassedly and said: "Yesterday, I saw that my brother's two master bookkeepers handled things very competently, so I asked them to help my brother in charge of the government this morning, and I promised to help them take leave from my brother." Can ...... now Master Hou, you won't blame me, will you? ”
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand, and smiled at Liu Yu: "Uncle clan, we are a family, how can you talk about the two families!" Simply, I will seconded Xun Yu and Xun Yu to you first, and let them help my brother deal with some post-war chores first? ”
"Great, Master Hou, you can solve my urgent need. Thank you, thank you! ”
##########################################################
A month has passed, the war in Younan has long subsided, and the post-war reconstruction and the return of refugees to their hometowns are also being carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Xun Yu and Xun You. The former Zhang Jujun prisoners who had received re-education also straightened their minds and expressed their desire to unite closely around Liu Yu and make their due contributions to the defense of the Han Dynasty and the construction of their homeland.
Among them, there are as many as 23,000 aspiring young people who are willing to join Liu Yu's army, and it just so happens that Liu Yu transferred his deserved part of the war horse to Liu Yu, and it is even more coincidental that the captives who newly joined Liu Yu's army basically grew up on the border, and all of them have good riding skills. Therefore, Liu Yu naturally organized them into a cavalry team of 20,000 people, and let Yu Ban train them.
Liu Yu was very excited today, because Huang Zhong and his three-way vanguard army had already reported that they would escort the prisoners and booty to Fanyang today. Liu Yu understood his feelings, because it officially marked the end of the war on his turf. Although he is a Youzhou pastor. But in fact, the area that can be controlled is only the six counties in the south. Oh, that's wrong, there should only be five counties now. Because since Liaoxi Taishou married his daughter to Gongsun Zhan. Liaoxi County is basically labeled as the Gongsun family. And this time when he returned to Fanyang, Gongsun Chan also led his "White Horse Righteous Servant" to accompany him, and Liu Yu guessed that he wanted to ask Liu Yu for help to save Liaodong in Youbei.
Liu Yu did not go out of the city to greet the victorious returning troops, but only waited in the governor's mansion. There was a commotion in the distance, and Liu Yu knew that they were coming back soon. After a while, a large group of people walked in under the guidance of Liu Yu.
"See the lord." Liu Yu once ordered that except for the generals who stayed behind, all the generals above the rank of lieutenant should come here for the banquet. Therefore, the greetings of these more than 30 energetic generals can really be said to be resounding in the sky.
"Okay, let's go to the table first, drink a bowl of wine, eat a piece of meat, and then tell me how you killed the thieves and ran away!" Sometimes a rude remark or two in front of a subordinate will deepen the relationship between them, but it is best not to do so in the presence of strangers. It's not. Liu Yu found a frowning anomaly in the laughing crowd.
In his early thirties, he was tall and burly, wearing a well-fitting blue samurai suit, and a resolute purple face with a short beard. The tiger's eyes are like lightning. With sword eyebrows and sideburns, the whole person looks extraordinary, full of the charm of a mature man. Probably aware of Liu Yu's gaze, he came out of the crowd, hugged his fists at Liu Yu and saluted: "Xiaguan Liaoxi Sima Gongsun Zan see Hou Ye." ”
It turns out that he is Gongsun Zhan! Liu Yu nodded at him with a smile and said, "Hello." Let's go, let's drink wine and eat meat first, and we'll talk about it later. ”
Wait until everyone is seated. Liu Yucai clapped his hands and motioned for the maids to come into the hall to pour wine and cut meat, and Liu Yu was naturally served by Fan Lihua herself. I don't know if Liu Xuan has something to explain. Fan Lihua didn't want Liu Yu to have too much contact with young women, so Liu Yu could only follow her.
Liu Yu first raised a glass of wine and said to Liu Yu and the generals: "On behalf of all the soldiers and civilians of Fanyang City, I would like to pay tribute to the marquis and the generals. If it weren't for your timely help, we would have starved to death if we didn't break the city! Come on, I'll do it first! ”
Liu Yu smiled and motioned for the generals to toast, and then Liu Yu poured another glass of wine and said: "This glass of wine is on behalf of the people of the five counties of Younan to respect you, if it weren't for you to quell the rebellion in time and release grain to help the people, I don't know how many innocent people would have died?" ”
Liu Yu had to take the generals to have another drink with him, and inadvertently Liu Yu caught a glimpse of Gongsun Zhan's expression was a little abnormal. But this is understandable, after all, his hometown is still in the midst of war! After Liu Yu finished drinking, Liu Yu said loudly: "Please drink and eat as much as possible today, even if the meat is finished, Hou Ye still has the grain and grass captured from Zhang Jujun, so you don't have to worry about being hungry!" ”
In the laughter of everyone, Liu Yu said with the icing on the cake: "Today I grant everyone permission to be unscrupulous, no big or small, the only requirement is to eat and drink well, understand?" ”
"Yes, my lord!" After receiving the order, the generals also let go, and they all found people to chat and fight.
Liu Yu was about to talk to Liu Yu, but who knew that he actually left his seat to find the judge, saying something "If it weren't for Mr., Fan Yangcheng would have been in the hands of the enemy for a long time", and then he insisted on pulling the judge to have a drink. then ran to Xun Yu and Xun You's table, toasted them respectively, and said, "Without the strong help of the two gentlemen, I am afraid that the five counties of Younan are still full of devastation"; came back to Yu Ban again, and had a drink with him on the grounds of "40,000 elite soldiers have been trained for my Fan Yang".
Just when Liu Yu was contemplating who Liu Yu was going to respect, Gongsun Chan found Liu Yu. "Hou Ye lured the enemy alone before the month, beheaded five members in front of the battle, and finally captured Zhang Ju and surrendered more than 70,000 people. It took less than a month to completely pacify Younan, which is really admirable! ”
Rumors again! Why are rumors always so exaggerated? Liu Yu explained funny: "I have never lured the enemy alone, and I have brought at least more than 3,000 people. And it's not my general, it's my personal guard captain who did it! ”
"Is the woman next to Master Hou your chief of guard?" Gongsun Zhan's eager tone gave Liu Yu the illusion that he had wanted to ask Liu Yu this for a long time.
"Yes, she is my guard captain Fan Lihua."
"Gongsun Chan has seen Captain Fan." Gongsun Zhan had a very good demeanor and saluted Fan Lihua.
"Don't dare. The concubine has seen General Gongsun. Fan Lihua generously replied to this handsome general, who was still a stranger, with an elegant lady's salute.
