Chapter 484: Thief Extermination Policy

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Wu Han and Geng Yi's trip to Youzhou not only killed Youzhou Mu Miao Zeng, but also killed Wei Shun and Cai Chong, the two Taishou, Youzhou counties were shocked at the same time, they all sent Youzhou soldiers and horses from their counties to Jicheng to gather.

For a time, the number of soldiers and horses gathered in Jicheng surged.

Originally, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses under Miao Zeng's command, but in just ten days, Jicheng gathered tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry, and more than 10,000 Youzhou infantry, all the troops added together, close to 50,000 soldiers and horses. So many soldiers and horses are under the command of Wu Han alone, and they also include tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry, such a military lineup, it is really terrible, Handan's generals and ministers have admonished Liu Xiu, Wu Han has a heavy army, only afraid of it

The heart changes. Human nature is like that. When he has nothing, he may still be loyal to you and single-minded, but once he has power and tastes the sweetness of power, he wants to get more, and at this time, you are instead

has become a stumbling block for him, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.

Liu Xiu laughed at the advice of his subordinates, and was upset by the persuasion of his subordinates, Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Ziyan is a person, I know it." ”

Wu Han's temperament is quite like a wild horse, if he is not convinced by you, it is useless for you to win him over, but if he is convinced of you, you don't have to deliberately please at all, he will naturally be loyal to you.

I have to say that Liu Xiu's ability to recognize people is very powerful. For Wu Han, he gave great trust.

In fact, Liu Xiu's perception of Wu Han is not wrong at all, Wu Han has spent most of his life on the battlefield, shaking hands and heavy troops, and holding a high position.

I don't know how many enemies and innocents died at his hands, but they can be said to have made great achievements in battle, and no one can match their prestige in the army.

But he has never had two hearts for Liu Xiu, even when Wu Han reached his old age, a year before he died, he was still fighting for Liu Xiu, commanding the army, and slaughtering Liu Xiu's enemies!

Wu Han and Geng Yi gathered soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and then led the army to set off south, heading straight to Handan.

At this time, someone around Liu Xiu suggested that he should quickly change the commander, so that Deng Yu or Jia Fu and other Liu Xiu's henchmen would go to Wu Han's army to replace Wu Han.

Who knows what Wu Han thinks in his heart, now he is leading the elite soldiers of Youzhou and going straight to Handan, if he has a bad heart, it will be a bad thing. After Liu Xiu heard this, he replied with the same sentence: "Ziyan is a person, I know it in my heart." ”

When Wu Han and Geng Yi led the army and arrived in Handan, Liu Xiu not only did not make any precautions, but also took the initiative to go out of the city to greet them.

Seeing Liu Xiu who came out of the city, Wu Han didn't feel anything else except being happy, but Geng Yi sighed in his heart, the lord really didn't have the slightest doubt about himself and Wu Han.

Liu Xiu's trust made Geng Yi even more determined to follow Liu Xiu. He urged the horse forward, and when he came to Liu Xiu's approach, he turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said, "The last general, Geng Yi, meet the king!" ”

Wu Han followed closely behind, and also came to Liu Xiu, knelt on the ground to give a salute, and said with a smile: "The last general, Wu Han, fortunately did not disgrace the mission of the king, and recruited more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou. ”

Liu Xiu excitedly pulled Wu Han and Geng Yi up from the ground, and then he held their hands tightly and said movingly: "Ziyan, Bozhao, it's been hard all the way!" ”

Geng Yi said solemnly: "To do things for the king, you won't feel hard in the end." ”

Wu Han said happily: "The king, Miao Zeng Xiao'er, dare not listen to the king's order, and has now been beheaded by the last general, and all the soldiers and horses under Miao Zeng's command have also been received by the last general!" ”

In fact, Geng Yi's previous analysis of Liu Xiu was correct, from the moment Liu Xiu decided to send Wu Han and Geng Yi north to Youzhou, he had no intention of keeping Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong alive.

Although killing the three of them may cause himself and Liu Xuan to tear their faces in advance, the existence of these three people is too much of a threat to him, and it is already so big that they are pulling out his roots and shaking his foundation.

If these three people are left alive, the consequences will be so serious that they will be unimaginable, and even the entire Youzhou will be controlled by Liu Xuan.

Once this happens, he will make a comeback in Hebei, but he is afraid that he will be slapped down by others before he jumps.

Regarding Wu Han's killing of Miao Zeng, Geng Yi's killing of Wei Shun and Cai Chong, Liu Xiu did not make a direct statement, neither said that he did it well, nor did he say that he did it badly, but Liu Xiu's enthusiastic attitude towards Wu Han and Geng Yi had already shown his thoughts.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Ziyan and Bozhao have worked hard, I have set up a banquet in the palace, let's go, let's go back to the palace to eat!" ”

After speaking, Liu Xiu took Wu Han and Geng Yi in the same car and returned to the palace.

Wu Han and Geng Yi brought back an army of nearly 50,000 people from Youzhou, including 10,000 Youzhou Assault Cavalry, which was not a trivial matter, and the main generals and officials under Liu Xiu basically attended the banquet.

Everyone drank happily in the main hall, and Liu Xiu also made it rare for people to invite Kabuki to cheer up.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Han whispered a few words to one of his personal soldiers. The soldier said yes and ran out of the hall quickly.

After a short time, more than a dozen soldiers came outside, carrying two large boxes and moving into the main hall. Seeing this, Liu Xiu asked Wu Han and Geng Yi puzzled: "Ziyan, Bozhao, what is this?" ”

Wu Han bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said: "King, this is the roster of soldiers and horses recruited by the last general, and now all of them are dedicated to the king!" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up. Wu Han donated the roster of Youzhou soldiers and horses, which was equivalent to handing over all the troops in his hands.

The people who were worried that Wu Han would give birth to two hearts all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, while the generals who commanded the army were greedy when they looked at the two big boxes.

The reason why Youzhou soldiers are good at fighting is because Youzhou and the Xiongnu have been fighting for many years, and the soldiers of Youzhou are basically gradually honed in the continuous battles with the Huns, even the lowest ordinary soldiers, their combat power is very strong.

And the assault cavalry of Youzhou is even more famous all over the world, which makes the Huns frightened. Not long ago, Geng Shu led the Youzhou Raiders to break the Hun army in Daijun, which is a living example.

Now that he has such a large number of elite Youzhou soldiers and horses, which general doesn't want to get a piece of the pie and include some of them under his command, of course, it is best to get a part of the Youzhou Raiders.

Jia Fu said on the ground: "The Ben Ming Army is often worried about the lack of soldiers, this time Wu Jun has recruited more than 20,000 Youzhou elites, and the source of my Ben Ming Army is finally settled." ”

People glanced at Jia Fu with strange expressions, and muttered in their hearts, this Jia Jun doesn't talk much on weekdays, but with this opening, he wants to take away the most elite Youzhou soldiers, and his face is thick.

Ma Wu hurriedly bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "King, there are many deficiencies under the command of the last general......

Before he finished speaking, Wang Ba immediately interjected: "The king, under the command of the last general, there is also a lack of troops!" ”

Ma Wu looked at Wang Ba and gritted his back molars. Seeing that the two of them were about to get on the bar again, Liu Xiu laughed on his back and said, "Today's banquet is for Ziyan and Bozhao to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and the matter of allocating troops will be discussed later!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass, looked around at everyone, and said: "In order to calm the bandits in Hebei as soon as possible, and return the people of Hebei to a peaceful and prosperous world, we will make this cup!" ”

"!" Everyone in the hall raised their wine glasses together, and when they saw Liu Xiu drink all the wine in the cup, people drank the wine in the cup one after another.

Liu Xiu put down the cup and asked Wu Han and Geng Yi what the current situation in Youzhou was and whether the bandits were serious.

Wu Han didn't speak, Geng Yi Zhengse said: "Back to the king, there are also bandits in Youzhou, but most of them are side branches, and the number is not large, far less rampant than Jizhou." ”

Liu Xiu said: "The trouble of the thief army is very harmful. We are like a river embankment, and the thief army is like ants, and a thousand miles of embankment can be destroyed in an anthill. If we can calm down the bandits in Hebei as soon as possible, the great cause can be profitable, if not, we will not be able to protect ourselves! ”

Wu Han's face sank, and he said in a loud voice: "King, the last general is willing to lead the army and exterminate the thief army!" ”

Liu Xiule was happy, and asked with a smile: "Which thief army does Ziyan want to exterminate?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Wu Yu stopped, and he didn't say anything.

It's not that he can't find an object to exterminate, but there are too many objects to exterminate.

At present, in Hebei, there are dozens of rebel armies, large and small, and millions of people, just like a carp crossing the river.

Deng Yu said: "The king, the last general thinks that he can cure the giant deer first!" ”

The rebel army active in Julu County is mainly the Bronze Horse Army, and here in Hebei, the Red Eyebrow Army, which is not a small force, belongs to the Bronze Horse Army with the largest strength and the strongest strength.

In Deng Yu's view, if you want to fight, you should fight the strongest and biggest one, so that it can have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and can make a large number of weaker thieves surrender without a fight.

Of course, the risk of doing so is also the highest, and if you are not careful, not only will you not be able to exterminate the thief army, but you will also be in danger of annihilation.

After listening to Deng Yu's suggestion, Liu Xiu fell into deep thought. Here in Hebei, how to exterminate the thief army, how to eliminate the bandits, Liu Xiu has been thinking about this matter for more than a day or two, but during this time, he has been thinking about it every day.

The overall phalanx is nothing more than two. One is to fight the largest and strongest bronze horse army first, eat the biggest, and then gradually swallow the small ones.

The other phalanx, that is, the other way around, first eat the small ones one by one, and leave the largest one, and then concentrate all their energy to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Both policies have both advantages and disadvantages, and how to choose in the end made Liu Xiu think a lot.

During the banquet, Liu Xiu did not make a statement, or rather, Liu Xiu himself was hesitant and did not consider which policy was safe. However, Xie Bow helped Liu Xiu make a decision.

Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong were killed, involving a state pastor and two Taishou, which is not a trivial matter, and the imperial court has not yet held Liu Xiu accountable, so Xie Bow came to the door first and asked Liu Xiu for Wu Han and Geng Yi.

Xie Bo's meaning is very simple and very direct, since it was Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong who were killed by Wu Han and Geng Yi, they should be escorted to Chang'an, and your Majesty should be decided.

If His Majesty says that the two of them are not guilty, and the two of them can return to Hebei, if His Majesty convicts the two of them of capital crimes, then they also deserve to be unlucky, and they are to blame.

Wu Han and Geng Yi are both Liu Xiu's confidants, how could Liu Xiu hand them over? Liu Xiu's statement is that he has severely punished Wu Han and Geng Yi, and this matter can be brought to an end here, and there is no need to pursue it in the future. Xie bowed and heard this, his nose was almost crooked, your subordinates killed a state pastor and two Taishou in Youzhou, and you are now understatement, this matter is over? Xie Bow was also angry, and accused Liu Xiu on the spot, connived at his subordinates, and killed

harmed the officials of the imperial court, had ill intentions, and was anti-against the imperial court.

Liu Xiu was furious and directly ordered Xie Gong to be expelled from the palace. After this incident, Liu Xiu finally decided on the policy of exterminating the thief army, that is, to fight the small ones first, and then the big ones. These two things seem to be completely unsided, but in fact, they are not, and there are many twists and turns!
