Chapter 18: Turning Enemies into Friends?
The counterattack in Xu Zhuang has begun!
On the periphery of Xuzhuang, the rear of the Yellow Turban Army has been broken through by the Xuzhou Army, and the horn of the agitation to continue the attack sounded again, and the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army were overjoyed, and began to organize an offensive in the sound of radical horns, and once again rushed to the front of the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuang.
In the shouting of the landslide, the Xuzhou soldiers entered the village from the gap in the Yellow Turban Army formation layer by layer, and killed the Yellow Turban soldiers who burned and looted, and the counteroffensive of the militia organization in Xuzhuang has also been formed, and nearly a thousand men wielded knives and guns or hoes and rakes and attacked the Xuzhou army, which made the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army rise sharply.
The Yellow Turban Army, which still has an absolute advantage in numbers, has become invincible with two fists and four hands at this moment, and is facing front and back attacks! After the formation was overwhelmed, it looked so vulnerable......
On the other hand, the militia of Xuzhuang seems to be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep at this moment, unstoppable.
"He Shuai! Irretrievable! Let's hurry up! Faced with the decadent situation that had been defeated, the Yellow Turban generals all panicked and urged He Man to evacuate.
"Retreat! Where to retreat? He Man roared in pain: "The Han army has been premeditated for a long time...... Flanking from front and back, enemies on all sides, where do you let me retreat?! β
The Yellow Turban General hurriedly said: "He Shuai! Even if the cubs under his command can't get off, we will be able to fight a bloody way out of He Shuai by protecting He Shuai! β
"I'm not leaving!" He Man's eyes were bloodshot: "The soldiers are gone, what are you leaving Lao Tzu to do?" Listen to me, and if there is anyone who dares to retreat, cut it! β
After He Man said this, the Yellow Turban Lieutenant beside him couldn't help but cry out in his heart...... This time, it's really over.
The soldiers of the Xuzhou army quickly devoured the soldiers of the Yellow Turban, as if a small river embankment had been gnawed out of a hole by ants, collapsing in an instant, and being swallowed up by the flood in the blink of an eye.
The battle has reached such an extent that even a potter can see it...... The overall situation of Xu Zhuang has been decided.
"Report ~~~!"
A herald rushed to the front of the potter and Mi Fang, and said, "General Mi, the supervising army!" In the foreground, Captain Li Duwei told that in the Yellow Turban Army, there were those who were willing to surrender, so General Mi and the supervising army were asked to show them. β
Mi Fang turned her head to look at the potter and asked, "Eldest son, what do you think?" β
The potter asked solemnly: "What does Brother Mi mean?" β
Mi Fang pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's just a group of chaotic people...... Kill! β
The potter was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his head towards the battlefield, and all kinds of emotions came to him indirectly.
Regret, pity, helplessness...... All kinds of emotions are mixed together and pour into my mind, and the bloody scenes, sorrowful roars, and painful cries on the battlefield are mixed with the angry denunciations and accusations of these low-level people for this ruthless era.
The so-called Yellow Turban thieves are just ordinary people...... In fact, their needs are not much, just a bite of food and a touch of sleep, which is just the most basic requirement of living in this world and living in life.
Isn't it sad that as a human being and only asking for the same needs as livestock?
But in this age, they are not satisfied with even the most basic needs! If it were not for the desperation, no one would want to embark on this path of resistance.
They are all living people, and the rebellion is not because of ideals and ambitions...... Rather, it was the environment that forced them from good citizens into wild beasts, and these beasts ferociously devoured people only for a bite of preserved fruit.
They just want to live.
"Tell the captains and lieutenants that the enemy troops in front of them, regardless of their position, and whether their intentions are true or false...... Quasi-drop. The potter commanded word by word, without any hesitation.
Mi Fang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Eldest prince, we don't have so much food!" β
The potter smiled lightly and said, "Say hello to Brother Ling and raise more grain, Xuzhou is relatively rich compared to other states and counties, so it shouldn't be difficult." β
Mi Fang wiped her sweat and said, "But even if my brother and I take a leave of absence, and wait until the next batch of military rations arrives, it will take 20 days, and we still need scouts to tell my brother where the grain and grass need to be transported...... But how to solve the grain and grass in front of us? β
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and this is indeed a problem.
"I'll figure it out, Brother Mi will do what I say!" The potter said solemnly.
"But......" Mi Fang's voice was a little weak.
The potter stretched out his hand to stop Mi Fang's words, and said with a smile: "Brother Mi, do you believe me?" β
Mi Fang swallowed lightly and spit at the mouth, her Adam's apple rolled, as if she had something to say, but in the end she held it back.
Speaking from the heart, Mi Fang really believed in the potter several times, and the most recent one was stealing livestock, and the result was ...... Forget it, don't mention it.
*******************************
As soon as the Xuzhou army surrendered, the Yellow Turban Army abandoned their weapons and did not fight, at first it was just a few people, but slowly it became a dozen, seeing that the comrades-in-arms around them surrendered one after another, just like the spread of the plague, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, hundreds passed thousands, and finally the Yellow Turban Army in thousands abandoned their weapons and did not fight.
All of this fell into He Man's eyes, and the Yaksha couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh in the sky.
"God will kill me!"
Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin failed to destroy himself, and the officers and troops along the way did not destroy themselves...... But what I didn't expect was that it was such a small village that capsized the boat.
It seems that God intended to mock He Man, and a group of people's troops led by Xu Chu and a group of Xuzhou troops led by potters and Mi Fang actually surrounded at the same time at this moment.
It's a great irony.
Knowing that He Man was the leader of the thieves, the potter, under the protection of the soldiers of the Xuzhou army, came to a place a few feet in front of the thief leader with only more than ten people left, and raised his voice: "Admit defeat." β
He Man's face was cold, and he led the remaining subordinates to rush towards the potter, but was forced by a rain of arrows from the Xuzhou army.
Looking at He Man, who had been cornered, the potter once again raised his voice and said: "Those who descend, avoid death!" β
Mi Fang stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The eldest prince, others will do it, this person is the leader of the thief of this yellow scarf, and I am afraid of provoking criticism if I stay there." β
He Man turned a deaf ear to the potter's words, and looked around, seeing that there were enemies on all sides, and outside the encirclement, almost all the shouts of surrender were heard, and there was also the sound of soldiers throwing to the ground.
He Man cried...... In just a moment, everything about himself was buried in this encirclement of death.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious!!" He Man let out a final scream, then raised his knife and wiped it from his neck.
"He Shuai! He Shuai! β
The Yellow Turban guards never expected such a sudden situation, and rushed up to snatch the knife from He Man's hand...... It backfired, it happened too suddenly, and by the time the knife was snatched over, He Man had already covered his bloody neck, stared at his round eyes unwillingly, and fell to the ground.
In the first year of the first peace, the Fuyun Yellow Turban Department of Zhongzhou was defeated by the Xuzhou Army in the Xuzhou Army, and the Qu Shuai He Man was killed, and the Fuyun Yellow Turban Department except for the dead, most of the Xuzhou Army surrendered, and the surrender amounted to more than 5,000 people.
*********************************
The dust settled, and the sky dawned. The lieutenants, captains and 100 generals of the Xuzhou Army all went to deal with the aftermath, while the potters and Mi Fang discussed the follow-up matters in the tent.
Mi Fang shook her head and said with some incomprehension: "Thanks to this Yellow Turban soldier and horse, they were exiled here from Jibei, and the old, weak, sick and disabled basically died along the way!" The rest are quite strong...... Otherwise, if the old and weak women and children are wrapped in again, will it be difficult for the eldest prince to surrender them? β
The potter fiddled with a fragment of armor that he didn't know where to pick up, and said while fiddling: "Then it's all down, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy." β
Mi Fang almost froze when she heard this: "The last general can't be happy!" Son, our grain and grass were enough! But there are thousands of more people out of thin air at once, which directly consumes half of the grain and grass!! And these people are all from the wilderness, and they have never been on the right track of military training! Not to mention whether they are useful or not, they have to be wary of them everywhere, so why bother? It's better to kill it! β
The potter didn't answer Mi Fang directly, but just looked up at the sky, pondered for a while, and said: "There are some things, Brother Mi can't just look at the present, think about the long-term...... You may not be able to see through it now, but in the future you will definitely understand my reason for doing this, killing is not the fundamental way to solve the problem, and excessive killing will only cause more weakness. Everything in this world revolves around people...... You've killed them all, and it's all nonsense. β
Mi Fang couldn't help but be angry when she heard this: "Don't talk about it, but what about the grain?" β
The potter pursed his lips and smiled faintly, and said, "I will come up with a way before the food runs out, and Brother Mi doesn't have to worry about it." β
Although Mi Fang couldn't understand the potter's reason for doing this, he didn't have much to say in the face of the assassin Shi Changgongzi, who was the overseer...... After all, it was the potter's decision to make up his mind for emergencies along the way...... Although he is very young, he shows maturity and spicy to be far stronger than himself, I don't know when it began, Mi Fang actually had a dependence on the potter in his heart, and gradually regarded him as the backbone of the main heart.
While he was talking, a guard outside the tent came to report: "General Mi, the eldest prince, outside the gate, the man who calls himself Xu Chu of Qianjun, is hereby invited to meet." β
The potter seemed to have expected it, and nodded, "Let him in." β
Mi Fang's expression tightened, and her eyes gurgled: "Why did this guy come?" β
The potter showed a gentle smile and said, "Xu Chu came to our army to scold me a few more times, and threatened to make me wait for compensation, and even asked me to hand you over...... But I waited for the revenge of virtue regardless of the past suspicions, and spent a lot of effort to help him keep Zhuangzi, as long as this reckless man is still a person, how can he not be moved to tears? β
Mi Fang wiped her sweat and said weakly: "Really? The eldest prince's thoughts are naΓ―ve, and the last general feels that he is not such a reasonable person......"
When the words fell, he heard a heavy and hurried sound of footsteps outside the tent, and before the potter and Mi Fang could react, the curtain of the tent had been "called" open.
Xu Chu was wearing a short coat, his upper body was bare-chested, his chest was covered with black hair, and his face was red, he broke into the tent like a fierce god, and scolded: "The surname is Mi!" Dare to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Liukou to attack the village and rob in the chaos, and secretly steal a certain family's livestock! β
When the potter heard this, he was stunned.
Mi Fang in the other side was already frightened, but she still stubbornly scolded back: "You barbarian can hurt people!" When did Ben steal your livestock? β
Xu Chu's eyes widened: "Do you dare to quibble?!" What the children in my village have seen with their own eyes, how can it be fake? Could it be that the big doll at a few years old will still wronged you! β
The potter turned his head to look at Mi Fang: "Is this really the case?" β
Mi Fang sniffed and snorted, "I'll send troops to help you kill the thieves, how much effort did it take?" Take your two animals to replenish your vitality, what's wrong? β
Xu Chu was violent, no matter how much Mi Fang defended, he couldn't help but kick it directly: "Lose your mother!" β
A giant foot as big as a bear's paw stomped on Mi Fang's chest, and Mi Fang rolled her eyes and flew out directly, breaking through the tent and flying out of the tent.
The potter's mouth grew in surprise.
I thought I had made friends with Xu Chu, but I never thought that Mi Fang's pig teammate would not change!
Can you still spare time to send people to steal cattle during the siege and annihilation of the Yellow Turban Army last night? β¦β¦ Steal it, steal it, and you're caught again!
If you look back, you have to take this gelding!
