Chapter 54: I feel like I'm on a thief ship
Chapter 54 feels like a thief ship
After discussing with the sixth prince, Xu Ding met with the old and young of Xujiazhai again, and then took Zhang Fei and Dian Wei to the mansion for a banquet.
After the banquet was over, Cao Hong and the four of them followed to Xu Ding.
Xiahou Yuan asked, "Bo Kang heard that you are going to take all the people from Xujiazhai to Donglai. ”
Xu Ding replied: "That's right, now that the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, the land of Kanto will not be in Taiping, my second brother Zhongkang and I are far away in Donglai, and we can't take care of them separately, so I can't take care of them anymore, so I can only take them to Donglai together." ”
Cao Hong patted his chest and said: "Don't worry about Bokang, with my Cao family, the people of Xujiazhai will definitely be safe and sound in Qian County." ”
Cao Ren also said: "Yes, Bokang, there is my Cao family, there is the Xu family, after all, Qian County is our hometown, and the people of Xujiazhai have gone to Donglai, I am afraid that they will not be used to it." ”
The two brothers, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, also echoed and persuaded a few times.
Xu Dingdao: "Thank you, I decided on this matter, and the sixth prince also agreed, I thought I would send someone back to Donglai to transfer troops, and then the soldiers and horses would be able to pick them up as soon as they arrived." ”
The four members of the Cao family saw that Xu was determined to make up their minds, so they had no choice but to persuade each other, and Xiahou Yuan asked: "Listen to Bokang, do you plan not to go back to Donglai with the old and young of Xu Jiazhai?" ”
The other three also looked at Xu Ding curiously.
The people took it away, and Xu Ding didn't go back to Donglai, what was the purpose.
"I am the county guard of the imperial court, although I have the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, and at the same time I also have the responsibility of Anbang Sheji, now the people of Donglai are not suffering from the war, but there are still many counties and counties in other states that are in the war, and the people are in great distress, how can I sit idly by." Xu Ding stood up and said generously:
"Everyone, now the Yellow Turban Army is powerful, but the imperial court is actively deploying troops and preparing to exterminate them, so it is the time for us to serve the country and seek peace for the people, how about killing the enemy and resisting the bandits with me?"
Xu Ding's eyes burned and looked at Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Xuan.
Four free laborers, not used now, no chance to use in the future.
The four of them were also enthusiastic and ready to move by Xu Ding's words.
Zhang Fei stood up directly and said: "If you are a hero, you will kill the enemy and break the thief together, and the husband should be happy and chic, twisting and pinching like a woman." ”
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong stood up and said, "Bokang's words are exactly what we aspire to do. ”
Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren glanced at each other, and Xiahou Yuan asked: "Bokang, although we have the intention to kill the enemy and do something for the imperial court, but now the Yellow Turbans of Peiguo and Runan are attacking from time to time, and Qian County has to defend it." ”
"Hmmm! Miaocai's concerns are normal, and there are indeed heroes like Miaocai in Qiaoxian County, but in my opinion, the four of you are all fierce generals who cut the enemy and break the enemy, how can they all nest in Qiaoxian County to waste good talents, it is better to do this, how about I take Zilian and Yuan Rang. Xu Ding looked at Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren with burning eyes.
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong couldn't sit still, they were extremely excited, the two of them were still young men, and they had the opportunity to fight with a Taishou commander like Xu Ding, so they were naturally surging with blood.
In the end, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren nodded and said: "In this way, the two younger brothers will be entrusted to Bo Kang, and Bo Kang must not be treated favorably because the two are familiar friends." ”
"Rest assured, my Donglai army has always been strict, and when the time comes, I will have to teach the two of them some hard rules to endure hardships, and eating boards is commonplace." Xu Ding joked half-truthfully.
The five of them laughed, and Cao Hong said, "Why do I feel like I'm on a thief ship." ”
The others laughed even louder.
Waiting for the time for Donglai reinforcements to come, Xu Ding sent countless scouts around Qiaoxian County, and then swept and attacked the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and soon captured tens of thousands of people.
The Yellow Turban Army did not dare to approach the area of Lishui for a while, and the Yellow Turbans who entered from Runan also returned to Runan.
Xu Ding sent people into Runan to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
Soon the Donglai army arrived.
After bidding farewell to the six princes and other people from Xujiazhai, Xu Ding took people back to Qian County.
"Now the Yellow Turbans around us have been driven away and scared back, and we will advance to other places, I heard that the Yellow Turbans in Runan are large, and there is a large population there, if they are allowed to continue to be harmed, there will be many people displaced and starved to death, so I want to go to Runan, and then continue to wait for news from the Hou Imperial Court." looked at everyone and said.
Everyone has no opinion, Runan is next to Peiguo, and Runan's yellow scarves have been swept away, so that the safety of Qian County is guaranteed.
The army went out of the city and crossed the water into Runan, and sure enough, they quickly encountered the Yellow Turban Army, defeated and dispersed, and then captured a number of people.
Traveled to the Yingshui River in Runan, swept six or seven counties in succession, defeated three groups of Yellow Turbans, and captured about 10,000 prisoners.
The nearby county towns also sent invitations one after another, wanting Xu Ding's Donglai army to garrison and bring in the grain labor army first.
After receiving the grain, Xu Ding ignored the others, but led the army to collapse Yingshui and advance to the Runan County Government.
Soon the front rode back.
"Report! Fu Jun, Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan, did not let us march westward into Runan, they said that we should turn around and return to the east of Yingshui, otherwise we will be attacked together with the Yellow Turban. ”
"Oh! It's kind of interesting. Xu Ding was slightly stunned, and the others were also stunned.
This entry into Runan has been welcomed by all counties, these places hate them to stay, and now that they are good, there are still people who don't want to let themselves pass.
"Lord, wait for me to lead the troops to break this Pingyu City, and see who this Taishou surnamed Zhao is." As soon as Zhang Fei's temper came up, he immediately changed into a person, and with a rude sentence of raising a spear, he was about to go out to kill the Runan County Government.
Xu Ding persuaded: "Yide, don't worry, maybe it's not the meaning of Runan Taishou, since you don't want us to go over, let's turn around and go north to Chen State, it's the same wherever you suppress bandits." ”
Why did Pingyucheng do this, why didn't he welcome him, Xu Ding probably guessed the reason.
Sure enough, Cao Hong said: "Pingyu is the county government, and the Yuan family is the first family in Runan, there are many private soldiers, and the families of the entire county are looking forward to the Yuan family, and Yuan Kui is the captain of the dynasty." Taishou Zhao Qian is afraid that he will also rely on the Yuan family, otherwise he will not be able to keep Runan. ”
If it's too explicit, Cao Ren won't say it.
Zhang Fei laughed out loud and said disdainfully: "Hmph, I'm afraid that if he relies on the Yuan family, he may not be able to keep Runan." ”
Zhang Fei is not targeted, but most of the Yellow Turbans who entered Peiguo came from Runan, and they also defeated several waves when they entered Runan, but the deeper they went into Runan, the larger the Yellow Turban team became, the more numerous, and the combat effectiveness was stronger.
"It's okay, he can't keep Runan, the Yuan family will try their best to keep Runan." Xu Ding said noncommittally.
Runan is the foundation of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family does not dare to be unsatisfied.
Follow Yingshui from Xiang County out of Runan, and then follow the Langtang Canal into Chenguo.
The first stop was directly Chen County, the county capital, and Chen Guoguo heard that Xu Ding was coming, so he went out of the city to greet him directly, and told Chen Guo about the situation.
Thanks to Xu Ding's blessing, several counties near Qiao County are peaceful, but only the Yellow Turban in the northwest of the county is very fierce, because it is next to Yingchuan County.
Now Yingchuan County is the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, and most of the Yellow Turbans from nearby counties converge there.
As soon as he walked to Chen Guo Changping, the front detective rushed over and said, "Report!" The imperial court led an army with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each, and controlled more than 40,000 people from the five schools, the knights of the three rivers and the newly recruited elite warriors to enter Yingchuan. ”
