Chapter 0668 - Return
Guan Yu was a little stunned, he worked hard to drive all the thieves except Funan to the southwest corner, because he knew that Jianning Long Island in the southwest, except for the side towards Funan, the other three sides were by the sea, these natives couldn't even build rafts, it was impossible to escape, as long as they were forced to one place, the northern soldiers could immediately catch them, these days, they caught nearly 100,000 natives, and tens of thousands of people were forced to flee by them.
These tens of thousands of people are all sturdy young people, and the role they play in Yangzhou must be huge.
When Guan Yu rushed to Long Island with such a mind and carried out a comprehensive arrest, he was surprised to find that these natives were gone, they seemed to disappear out of thin air, and they could not be found on the entire Long Island, not even a single person could be found, empty, when Guan Yu heard the news, he scolded the scout angrily, and then, he personally led people to search, and sure enough, the entire island was empty, and no one could be found at all.
What the hell is going on?? What about those prime-age laborers??
The dazed Guan Yu took people to look for it several times, only then did they have eyebrows, they found some traces on the shore, these traces of camping, and there are some remnants, from Yangzhou Sailors, Guan Yu suddenly woke up, this was picked up by Yangzhou Sailors, when the angry Guan Yu returned to Funan, Huang Zhong had already waited with people, and saw Guan Yu leading the soldiers back, but there were no prisoners, Huang Zhong was also extremely puzzled.
"Immortality... What about the captives?? ”
"General.... We drove them to the shore, but I went this time, but I didn't find anyone, only the remnants of the Yangzhou navy, he felt that they were all captured by the navy... These guys aren't human, we've spent so much energy... They sit and reap their harvest..."Guan Yu looked angry, gritted his teeth, and the whole person was trembling, and the entire southwest crusade was planned by him.
These days, things are going according to his plan, Guan Yu is also very proud, he conquered the southwest, without any casualties of soldiers, but to be able to capture more than 100,000 people alive, you know, elimination and capture alive are not the same thing, to be able to do this, Guan Yu has done a very good job, however, he did not expect that when his plan came to the last step, such a thing appeared.
Looking at the angry Guan Yu, Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Changsheng, forget it, we will catch it, and we will also send it to Yangzhou, they are too, there is no difference, I will write to ask Cao Gong, to see if it is the water army, you have done a very good job this time, you have captured 100,000 people, Cao Gong is also very happy, there is such a feat, return to Luoyang, the position of the commander of the Northern Army, I think it will be yours..."
Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, he shook his head, and said, "The subordinates are not angry because they captured the captives, they just feel... They sabotaged my plan... This is the first time I have commanded the army...", Huang Zhong understood what he meant, took him, and returned to Funan City, and the northern soldiers also had time to rest, sitting in the room, Huang Zhong said: "It's okay, you are still young, there are many opportunities like this... Don't be in a hurry..."
Huang Zhong said, thought for a moment, and then said, "You may not know, Taiwei has been thinking about one thing recently... They were all a little restless, and when I was in Luoyang before, he called me over and talked to me... The opportunity to command an army like today, it won't be long before you encounter ...", hearing Huang Zhong's words, Guan Yu asked with some doubts: "I don't know what it is??" Would the Captain be so uneasy? ”
Huang Zhong was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Destroy Guishuang." ”
"What!!" Guan Yu's eyes widened, Huang Zhong looked at him, shook his head, and said: "Don't make a noise about this matter, you also know that Xi Pingnian's expedition to Guishan caused the northwest regions to suffer, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are very sensitive to the topic of Guishan, which is also the reason why Taiwei has not put forward a big policy for a long time... However, this matter can't be delayed for too long, do you know what the Southern Army is doing now?? ”
"They seem to have built a caravanserai between the West State and the Sabbath... want to trade with Sabbath..."
"You're right, it's not just trade, it's more important, it's these post stations, which were built in the Great Xia region of the original Kushan... Here you can directly launch an expedition to the south of Kushan... I think that the Taiwei is planning to conquer Guishan in the name of rest...", Huang Zhong said, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I can't wait for that day, such an opportunity, you will definitely be able to make a big difference... Even, the position of this captain can be contested..."
Guan Yu was speechless, Huang Zhong continued: "During the Xiping period, the conquest of Guishan caused a great drop in national strength, and Your Majesty doesn't know if you will be willing to destroy Guishan, but since Taiwei can make such an arrangement, I don't believe that Your Majesty doesn't know, since Your Majesty has no objection, this means that the time to destroy Guishan is still coming...", Guan Yu nodded, and asked: "However, the war must still bring huge losses?" ”
Huang Zhong looked at him, laughed, and asked: "Changsheng, you may not know, this is what I value you most, your military ability is excellent, but unlike other generals, you have a benevolent heart, you will not hurt innocent people for your military merits, among the Han generals, it is still rare to have such a benevolent and righteous person...", he said, and said solemnly: "At this point, you can rest assured, Jia Xu is in Xizhou, not just to waste his time...."
"He's doing a good job in the West State, enough to sustain a war, and he won't lose too much... Sometimes, I really doubt that Emperor Xiaoxian had already guessed that there would be such a day, so he vigorously promoted the development of Xizhou, just to make up for this logistical problem so that the Han could take revenge on Guishan..."Huang Zhong said.
"Unlikely... More than ten years have passed since that war..."
"No, you don't know, Emperor Xiaoxian studied under him, maybe there is really this possibility, he knows that he can't take revenge, so he leaves a chance for future generations to take revenge..."
Guan Yu has been studying the Ram Interpretation these days, and he also thinks that he is a ram disciple, hearing He Zi's name, he couldn't help but become a little more solemn, he nodded, and said: "The revenge of the ninth world can still be avenged!" Guishan brutalized my brave battalion, if I could, I would definitely take the lead and avenge the three thousand souls of the brave battalion!! ”
Huang Zhong nodded with satisfaction.
......
And in Yangzhou, Cao Cao was very happy, hearing the news of You Tu's return, he even left the things at hand, handed over these things to Fu Zhu, and rushed to meet You Tu in person, You Tu seemed a little tired, he was resting at the post station, and when he heard that Cao Cao was coming, he couldn't take a break, so he hurriedly dressed up and went to meet Cao Cao, just came to the front yard, he saw Cao Cao, Cao Cao was teasing his little son.
Cao Cao left Luoyang, he also missed his young son, and now he saw Youtu's child, he seemed very happy, pulling the doll and chatting, Cao Cao was surprised that this doll was very smart, Cao Cao just walked in, he didn't care about this child, because he was still running around on a wooden pole, but after chatting for a while, he was a little surprised.
"Little doll, what are you playing?"
"I'm at war."
"Hahaha, who are you fighting with?"
"With the thief, of course!"
"What kind of thief is there? You little doll amuses yourself, what kind of thief are you fighting? ”
"It's those thieves who break into other people's houses at will and look down on children." , The little doll's answer made Cao Cao laugh out loud, these days, he always followed the frustration, all day long, busy with important things, almost lost that kind of fun, now, all this seems to be back again, You Tu walked out of the mansion, hurriedly greeted Cao Cao, and looked at the little son, and said unhappily: "What nonsense here, go study!" ”
Hearing You Tu's roar, the little doll shrank her head and hurriedly ran out.
Cao Cao watched him leave, and couldn't help but say, "I also have a son, who is older than yours... It's a pity, I haven't seen him for a long time...", You Tu didn't answer, sitting in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at him, and said happily: "This time, you did a really good job, I didn't expect that you could bring back nearly 70,000 people, and they are all in the prime of life... This is too great for the excavation of the canal..."
"Cao Gong has a good reputation...", You Tu said with some embarrassment, Cao Cao shook his head, took his hand, and said: "Before, when I first met Jun, I didn't pay attention to it, but I underestimated Jun, this is my fault, I came here today just to apologize to Jun, and I hope Jun will not blame...", Cao Cao said very sincerely, You Tu was stunned, looked at Cao Cao in front of him, and was a little speechless in his heart.
He is a mountain citizen, even if he achieves the position of captain now, he is still looked down upon, the big clans in Yangzhou, including some local officials, are often called barbarians, and have never paid so much attention to him, but now Cao Cao's attitude is flattering to him, he is speechless, and bows his hand and says: "Thank you." ”
"Where are the words, I should thank you..."Cao Cao said, and then asked, "These people, where did You Jun find them?" ”
"Nearly 50,000 of them were found by me from overseas, including Kushan, and some islands from outside, where they relied on trade, or... Ahem, cough, cough, I finally found these people, and there are more than 30,000 people left, all of whom I caught from Jianning Long Island, and I don't know what kind of madness they had, they dared to charge at us, so I caught them all and brought them together..."
Hearing You Tu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said: "You Jun, you may not know, those people are not trying to attack you, they are just fleeing, the Northern Army attacked them before and drove them all here, wanting to catch them together, but they were brought back by You Jun...", hearing Cao Cao's words, You Tu was shocked, nodded, and said: "I see." ”
"You Jun doesn't have to care, anyway, these people will have to be sent to Yangzhou sooner or later...."
"Hmm.."
"I want to ask, next time You Jun, can you bring back so many people?" Cao Cao asked, You Tu looked at Cao Cao in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and Cao Cao said again: "You Jun don't have to worry, I just asked, and I also know that it is not so simple to arrest these people..."
"Yes! I'll be able to bring it next time!! "However, I need more ships, more men, and weapons... As for manpower, I don't dare to worry Cao Gong, and I will definitely be able to bring back 100,000 people next time!! ”
Cao Cao was stunned, looked at You Tu in front of him, and after a long time, he clapped his hands.
"With the words of the captain, I don't have to worry anymore!!"
The two chatted for a long time, Cao Cao noticed You Tu's fatigue, got up to say goodbye, Cao Cao was about to leave, turned his head, looked at You Tu, and said: "You Jun, your child, send it to Taixue earlier... He can't stay in such a small place, it would ruin his intelligence..."
You Tu smiled and nodded.
