Under the coercion of Zhao Yi's steel knife, these rogues naturally knew everything and told Zhao Yi and Guan Yu the location of their lair.

Ergou said very well: "Several adults came to Changli County for the first time, and they are not very familiar with the place here, and the villain is willing to lead the way for adults. ”

Zhao Yi and Guan Yu nodded, and each took a few prisoners to various cottages, and the remnants of the rogues in the cottage saw the head of their leader, and they gave up resistance to open the gate of the cottage and rescued the girl who was imprisoned in the cottage.

The girls in Hongxi Village were left behind by Zhao Yi, and the rest of the girls were dismissed. After doing these things, it was already dark, and Zhao Yi and Guan Yu camped next to the official road to rest for the night.

Leaving early the next morning, Zhao Yi took money and food, escorted more than 500 rogues, and escorted more than 20 girls back to the barracks. The news of Zhao Yi's victory had already reached the barracks yesterday, and Liu Bei and the others were accustomed to Zhao Yi's victory and did not react much.

However, the two have some different opinions on the treatment of these rogues, these people are just a rabble, and they are not as effective as the Yellow Turban Army, and they have many bad habits.

Liu Bei didn't want these rogues, so he discussed with Zhao Yi whether to take these people into the county seat and have them dealt with by the county order. More than 500 people could not be arranged in the prison in the county government at all.

"This kind of person is not as good as the yellow turban thief, what's the use of keeping it, according to what I say, all the heads will be cut off!" Zhang Fei snorted lightly, looking down on these rogues from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Fei's words scared these rogue captives so much that their legs trembled, and the ants were still stealing their lives, not to mention these people. They knelt down and begged for mercy with tears in their eyes.

As the saying goes, men have gold under their knees, and their soft-boned appearance makes the three Liu Bei brothers look down on them even more.

Just when Liu Bei wanted to behead these people, Zhao Yi stopped Liu Bei: "I want these people." ”

Liu Bei's commanding hand stopped in mid-air, looking at Zhao Yi incredulously. Just now, Guan Yu also said that the soldiers of Zhao Yi's department were brave and fierce. Why would Zhao Yi want this kind of rogue who is not even as good as the Yellow Turban Army, and kindly advised Zhao Yi to give up, which basically means not to let a mouse feces spoil Zhao Yi's good soup.

"Thank you Brother Xuande for your advice, I understand what you mean. However, they are the best soldiers in my eyes. Zhao Yi said in an affirmative tone.

Seeing that Zhao Yi had made up his mind, Liu Bei waved his hand to let the soldiers who were about to be executed leave: "Since this is the case, then these people will be handed over to Brother Bolai to deal with." ”

Zhao Yi brought these more than 500 rogues into his camp, turned his head to look at the rogues who were standing lazily and obviously had luck on their faces, and slowly spoke: "Do you know that you are waste?" ”

These more than 500 rogues were stunned for a moment, and they all raised their eyes to look at Zhao Yi.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? When you think about what you have just done, and the contemptuous eyes of the soldiers when I brought you here, they all speak of your cowardice and incompetence. The corners of Zhao Yi's mouth showed a hint of sneer.

These people's faces were flushed by Zhao Yi's words, and they couldn't wait to find a hole to get into. Liu Bei also said just now that their combat strength is inferior to that of the Yellow Turban Thieves, coupled with Zhao Yi's words, these people feel very ashamed.

"However, I was not wrong when I said that you are the best soldiers." Seeing that these people were still a little ashamed, Zhao Yi's voice turned to give these people a hope.

More than 500 people looked at Zhao Yi suspiciously, they couldn't understand what Zhao Yi meant.

"In fact, no one in this world is born a waste, what kind of person a person wants to be is completely up to him, if you think you are a waste, then you really become a waste. If you want to become a respected person, you can do it through hard work. Zhao Yi's deep words echoed in the ears of the more than five hundred soldiers.

They had never heard of such a deafening novelty. Now it was said by Zhao Yi in a demagogic tone. There was a glint of hope in the eyes of these five hundred decadent rogues, and they all raised their eyes to look at Zhao Yi.

"All that you have done in the past is erased from this day. A new life begins anew, and now you tell me, are you still willing to be cowards and waste? Zhao Yi's eyes were sharp and he looked at these five hundred rogues.

"I don't want to!" The five hundred soldiers replied in unison.

Zhao Yi plucked his ears and drank, "What did you say?" I didn't hear it, louder! ”

"I don't want to!" Five hundred soldiers shouted.

"Be louder and let everyone know!"

"I don't want to!" This time, the five hundred soldiers almost used the strength of the milk to feed, and shouted hoarsely. I only felt that a strange force suddenly spread all over the body, and they wanted to kill a few people now, so that others could see if they were cowards and waste. That strange force is the self-confidence that Zhao Yi has mobilized.

For Zhao Yi, who has been in the modern army for five years, inspiring the morale of the army is a very simple thing.

Liu Bei and the others looked at the camp where Zhao Yi was in surprise, and they didn't know what Zhao Yi said, but it actually boosted the morale of the five hundred waste soldiers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Bei was ashamed of himself to let those cowards and wastes have strong self-confidence.

With a new mental outlook, Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." With this fighting spirit, what can't you do to succeed? "These soldiers were put into the heavy armor barracks, and the training intensity was the same as that of the heavy armoured barracks, but they did not wear heavy armor.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling down and getting up quickly during training, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth: "Turning waste into treasure is the real master." ”

After dealing with Liukou, Zhao Yi took 200 soldiers to escort the girl from Hongxi Village to Hongxi Village. The faces of the young people who were building ships showed joy, but they didn't expect Zhao Yi to do what they promised.

The big ship was about to be built, and Zhao Yi left 200 stone of grain and 500 plants of money to these villagers, which made these villagers cry.

Master Zhang's father and daughter were full of excitement when they reunited, and when they received Zhao Yi's money and food, they looked ashamed: "My lord, the villain threatened the adult with the matter of shipbuilding before, but the adult not only did not get angry, but also helped our village to avenge the great revenge. The villain is ashamed and willing to die. ”

"Master Zhang, don't do this, I didn't take that matter to heart at all, and besides, it was the responsibility of the officials and soldiers to kill the rogues. Master Zhang's father and daughter have just reunited, how can they easily say death. Zhao Yi persuaded Master Zhang.

"Your Excellency is kind to my Hongxi Village, and if there is a dispatch in the future, we will definitely help you." Master Zhang bowed down and said.

The relatives returned, and the people worked more energetically, and finally the boat was built in the early morning.

The three ships went back and forth in the Yellow River more than a dozen times, and finally brought Zhao Yi and Liu Bei's troops to the other side.

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei rested their troops and horses, and immediately marched towards Yingchuan, and at the same time sent a probe horse to investigate the news of Yingchuan at this time.

At this time, the coalition forces were walking on the boundary of Guandu, which was not far from Yingchuan, and the displaced people could be seen scattered everywhere, which was in stark contrast to the scene on the north bank of the Yellow River.

I asked a few displaced people about the current situation of the battle between the official army and the Yellow Turban Army.

These homeless people just said that it was very chaotic, and there were yellow turban thieves in Yingchuan and Changshe. Officials and soldiers and the Yellow Turban thieves won and who lost, and the displaced people who were only concerned about fleeing for their lives did not have time to inquire about these things.

"Zhonglang General Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are both famous generals in the world, and they should not suffer a loss when they fight with the Yellow Turban Thief." Liu Bei was also not sure that the official army would win, and there was no fundamental boundary between victory and defeat on the battlefield.

Zhao Yi nodded approvingly, and at this time, Tanma, who went to explore the way, brought the latest news: "My lord, general, Zhonglang General Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun broke the thief army the day before yesterday, and the Yellow Turban Thief was defeated and retreated to the Changshe. ”

Hearing the news of the official army, Zhao Yi and Liu Bei showed joy on their faces, there were still more than 200 miles away from Changshe, and the two of them stepped up their march. At dusk, I came to Zhongmu County.

As the nearest northern county town to Changshe, the streets are full of yellow-faced and thin-skinned homeless people, and the county commander personally welcomed Zhao Yi and others into the city. The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and the county commander said quite embarrassedly: "I should have found a secluded place for the two adults to recuperate, and I would go to Changshe to support tomorrow, but now that the city is full of displaced people, I can only find some empty courtyards for the soldiers, which is really a bit ashamed." ”

"In a critical moment, you don't have to be polite, I have been sleeping in the open air since I came from Youzhou, and it is good to have tiles to cover my body." Zhao Yi didn't have to be embarrassed by the county order, he couldn't drive those homeless people out when he arrived in Zhongmu. "When your lord has been in power in Zhongmu for a long time, you must know the situation of the Changsha at this time, please let me know in detail." In order not to disturb the people, Zhao Yi did not let the homeless people move, but found some courtyards where no one lived for the soldiers to live in, so that the army was divided into countless small parts by the homeless.

The county commander sorted out his thoughts: "In the Battle of Yingchuan, the Yellow Turban Army suffered 20,000 casualties, but the essence still exists. Zhang Liang led the army to occupy Changshe, while Zhang Bao occupied many villages around Changshe, which can be said to be offensive and defensible. For the time being, there is no way to crack the court, and they are currently fighting against it. ”

Zhao Yi groped his chin: "The situation is indeed very delicate. "I discussed the current situation with the prefectural commander and got a general understanding of the current battlefield situation. and Liu Bei decided to go to the camp tomorrow to meet Huangfu Song.

The two refused to allow the county magistrate to stay overnight and rushed back to their barracks. Zhao Yi was holding the map in the camp tent, thinking of a good way to break the enemy.

Gao Shun got up late at night to inspect the camp, and the 500 soldiers who were born in rogue soldiers collected by Zhao Yi were not afraid of hardship or injury when trained. Gao Shun was very satisfied and came to their camp to watch.

Gao Shun walked on the street with a team of twenty soldiers, and the street was full of homeless people sleeping against broken walls, Gao Shun sighed secretly.

Passing by a dimly lit courtyard, Gao Shun heard some strange noises and waved his hand to stop the soldiers and hide their bodies. He slowly approached the courtyard.

The low words, in the silent night, were extremely harsh, and they came into Gao Shun's ears word for word, "At this time, our small army has infiltrated Zhongmu, and everything is according to the plan. ”

"Small troops? Yellow Turban Thief? Gao Shun's heart beat a little faster.
