Chapter 87: Pacifying Jinan
"Marshal, we have surrendered the officers and soldiers, what about you?" The general knows very well that the greatest chance of survival for the Yellow Turban at present is to surrender, but Li Damu has a life-saving grace for him, and he doesn't want to bear this ungrateful name unless he has to, even if he knows very well that Li Damu is too brutal and not a good leader in everyone's heart, including himself, but he still hasn't turned his back on Li Damu because he adheres to his own principles of being a man and doesn't want to be ungrateful.
"Speaking of which, you and I have been for more than ten years, I know very well that I have disappointed too many people over the years, otherwise Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao would not easily take refuge in Mount Tai. I think they were also cornered by those dogs and officials in the government. You didn't leave because I saved you back then, but you don't owe me anything for following you faithfully all these years, now surrender and find another way to survive. As for myself, even if I surrendered, I don't think Tarzan would agree, even if it was for the sake of civilian anger. ”
I have to say that in the face of a desperate situation, some people break out, and some people are negative, but there are not many people like Li Damu who have a clear way of thinking and see things thoroughly.
Seeing the general's hesitation, Li Damu waved his hand lightly and said: "Go, I understand your thoughts, you don't have to think that your surrender is behind me, born in troubled times, you are all looking for a way to live for yourself, you don't need to be buried with me, let's go, let the brothers also disperse, cherish each other." ”
"Since the commander has made up his mind, his subordinates will not say anything more, and I hope that the commander will take care!" After saying that, the general turned around and left.
……
The next day, a large number of yellow turbans took the initiative to go to the Taishan army camp to surrender. For many golden soldiers, Su Xiu is actually very tolerant, but this team Su Xiu doesn't want to surrender in his heart, after all, they are too notorious in Qingzhou, if they are included in the Taishan army system, Su Xiu is afraid that this will be a rat poop that spoils a pot of good porridge.
However, this yellow scarf cannot be put or killed, and the remnants of tens of thousands of yellow scarves will be a hidden danger that cannot be ignored anywhere if it is released, and it is easier to attract criticism if it is killed. What's more, Su Xiu is not a person who loves to kill, if he is not a person who must be killed, Su Xiu doesn't want to have too much internal friction, no matter what, this yellow scarf is essentially a group of people who are forced to helpless, in the final analysis, they are just bewitched by others.
"Dingyan, what do you think should be done with these yellow scarves?" Su Xiu is a little difficult to handle now, and wants to listen to Guan Hai's opinion.
"My lord, my subordinates think that these yellow scarves should be collected rather than released, and they should be used rather than killed. After all, they are just a group of low-level soldiers, they can't refuse high-level orders, and the killing of prisoners has always been ominous, and the impact on the lord is also quite great, but between their deeds are indeed too bad, you might as well let these people serve in labor, it just so happens that the lord has the heart to subdue Jinan, these people can just be used to build the road from Jinan to Mount Tai, so that we will be more smooth and faster between Mount Tai and Jinan in the future. ”
I have to say that Guan Hai has learned a lot over the years by Xi Zhicai's side, and the current Guan Hai is quite different from the Three Kingdoms and Guan Hai in the Romance, all of which has formed a butterfly effect because of Su Xiu's arrival, bringing together many people who originally had no intersection in history. Su Xiu didn't know whether this ending was good or bad, but as far as the current situation was concerned, it was a little more favorable for the time being.
"Well, yes, you can do this idea, just to be able to use this group of people reasonably, so I'll leave this matter to you. In addition, from the Yellow Turban soldiers, some of the soldiers whose conduct is still acceptable can be supplemented as appropriate, but for the generals after all, we will be strictly investigated and punished, if it is not for the special Yellow Turban generals this time, we cannot be included in the Taishan Army. ”
Since most of the Yellow Turban Army surrendered and fled, there were less than a thousand people left around Li Damu, and among these people, in addition to the Yellow Turban Lux who was controlled by drugs, there were about 200 people, who knew that they belonged to that kind of crime that was unforgivable, and even if they surrendered to the Taishan Army, they would not let them go. Due to the sudden decrease in numbers, and the deployment of the Taishan army was mainly placed on the official roads and checkpoints, they successfully left the encirclement of the Taishan army and went straight to Jizhou.
Without the disturbance of the Yellow Turban Army, the hanging heart of Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, was finally let go. But he knew very well that Jinan's military defense was too weak now, and although there was such a strong reinforcement as Taishan around him, it was not his own team after all, and he could not directly order the dispatch after all, so after discussion, he decided to ask Taishan to send someone over to assist them in training troops as soon as possible.
Although Liu Kang has never been ambitious, it doesn't mean that he is really a fool. He understands that once the people sent by Taishan County take root in the army and bring out a strong army, then it is said whether this army will listen to his command and dispatch in the future, but after this invasion of the Yellow Turban, he saw that if there is no army that can protect Jinan, then Jinan may be destroyed in this rebellion at any time, and it is not only the people who will suffer, but he himself will never die well, so he chose to pretend to be stupid, and he has been used to this kind of life without worrying about food and clothing. He didn't want to be upside down, or even lose the lives of his family.
Taishan's action was really fast, and in less than half a month, all the military camps under Jinan's jurisdiction had a Taishan soldier ranging from 50 to 100 people stationed to assist them in training. After understanding the training methods of the Taishan army, Liu Kang also knew why the combat power of Taishan's army was so high, and their training was completely different from the methods of other military camps in the Han Dynasty, which was direct and effective. Although he could hear his generals complaining every day, he could clearly feel that his already decaying team was being revitalized.
……
It has been two months since the pacification of Li Damu's department, and Su Xiu has been tracking the news of Li Damu's remnants. From where did the Yellow Turban generals know that the final surrender of the Yellow Turban was actually instructed by Li Damu, but he didn't see Li Damu from beginning to end, and he didn't see any movement from him, Su Xiu was very strange, since Li Damu was desperate enough to let his subordinates surrender, then he himself was either disheartened and committed suicide, or he took the remnants and fought to the death.
Since Li Damu could not be found, Su Xiu did not dare to completely withdraw the army, so he asked Guan Hai Zhoucang Pei Yuanshao to take 10,000 people to escort the Yellow Turban back to Mount Tai to repair the road, and he and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Wang Hai and other generals searched for Li Damu's whereabouts in Jinan, so as not to make a comeback. Therefore, I found a relatively large place in Jinan as a temporary office space.
"Lord, Captain Yu's urgent report!" Zhang Fei rushed into Su Xiu's temporary residence in a hurry.
"Wen Ze's news?" It was only the end of August, and Yu Ban would send back news to Su Xiu almost every mid-month after supporting Lu Zhi with Cao Cao, reporting his location and the latest battle situation to Su Xiu, so that Su Xiu could keep abreast of the situation in Jizhou even if he was in Mount Tai. However, only 10 days after the last message came back, there was news back, indicating that the current situation in Jizhou is not optimistic.
