Volume 1: The First Entry into the Three Kingdoms Chapter 54: Post-War Reconstruction (1)
That night, the military doctor treated the bruise in Liu Yi's left eye, and after a simple cleaning of the wound, everyone did not go back to the house but slept directly in the big tent for the night.
The next day, except for Cheng Yu, Liu Yi and the others slept until dawn before getting up.
"Lord, you are up!"
At this time, Cheng Yu walked into the big tent and saw that Liu Yi and the others had already gotten up, and hurriedly asked the soldiers outside to prepare breakfast for a few people.
"Sir, it's hard work, sit down and drink saliva" Liu Yi walked to the table and poured water for Cheng Yu.
At this time, Liu Yi is no longer as depressed as yesterday, and his attitude towards everyone has changed back to his original modesty and courtesy.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the water bowl, looked at Liu Yi and said with some emotion, "Lord, your appearance yesterday is really worrying!" ”
Liu Yi was a little ashamed when he heard this.
"Yesterday's incident was that I was too reckless! If this happens to me again in the future, my husband must stop me! ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he thought to himself that you are the lord, who can stop you from being like that yesterday? Although he thought so in his heart, Cheng Yu nodded and said that he knew.
After a brief breakfast, everyone walked out of the tent.
I saw that the soldiers and civilians outside the tent were busy repairing the city and cleaning the battlefield after the battle.
At this time, the county seat, inside and outside are a mess, the dead bodies of yellow turbans everywhere outside the city, attracting a lot of wild dogs and vultures who like to eat carrion, in order not to cause the plague, Liu Yi ordered people to dig a few big pits in the distance, and then burned the corpses outside and buried them all.
At this time, in the moat, the dark red blood had seeped into the soil, only a few low-lying blood had not dried up, and the surrounding air was full of thick bloody gas, which made people a little disgusting.
"Sir, you can send some more people to fill in the moat, I believe we won't need any moat in the future!"
Liu Yi is not overconfident when he says this, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou has been completely wiped out by Liu Yi, and after this battle, Liu Yi's reputation has completely broken out, I am afraid that no Yellow Turban thief is willing to come again.
Cheng Yu answered, then turned around and began to tell the people around him to do what Liu Yi instructed, at this time Cui Si was seriously injured in bed, these things can only be handed over to Cheng Yu to do, but these things are simply trivial matters for Cheng Yu, and Liu Yi's instructions will be arranged properly in minutes.
"Lord, what about the corpses of our dead soldiers?" Zhang Fei asked with a somewhat gloomy face.
"These are all heroes who sacrificed for the people of Zhuo County, we must find a good place to set up a cemetery and bury them, so as to be worthy of their spirits in the sky!" Liu Yi looked at the corpses of the soldiers who had been covered with white cloths and said sadly.
Cheng Yu heard the words and sent his subordinates to find a few gentlemen who knew a little feng shui, and then found a so-called feng shui treasure cave at the foot of the mountain a few miles away from the city.
After these things were arranged, Liu Yi sent people to find some craftsmen with a bit of masonry skills in the city, and then Liu Yi ordered Wang San to lead these people to repair the city wall that had been damaged by the enemy before, and after everything was arranged, Liu Yi took Cheng Yu and Zhang Fei back to his house.
Knowing that everyone was back, the housekeeper Wang and Cheng Yu's wife hurriedly led the servants in the house to come out to greet them, these days, although the Wang family did not directly participate in the battle to defend the city, but the two of them did not bother to treat the wounded and food supplies, Liu Yi looked at the two people in front of him who were a little unkempt, and his heart was indescribably grateful.
"You two have worked hard!" Liu Yi bent over and bowed to the two Wangs.
Seeing this, the two Wang hurriedly returned the salute.
"The lord has said that the lord led the soldiers to fight with the enemy for many days without complaining, and the two of us just did what we could in the back, how dare we say that it is hard!" Cheng Yu's wife replied.
Liu Yi nodded appreciatively when he heard this, and then led everyone into the backyard, when passing through Cheng Yu's room, Liu Yi suddenly remembered something, stopped, stretched out his hand to break a wicker branch, and then walked into Cheng Yu's room.
I saw that in the corner of the room, Xiao Chengwu, who was scolded by Liu Yi and came back to face the wall, was standing in the corner at this time, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, facing the wall to read a book.
"Father! You're back! Xiao Chengwu shouted happily when he saw his father, put down the book in his hand and was about to rush up, but when he saw Liu Yi, he hurriedly stopped his legs that had already taken a step, and then bowed to Liu Yi in a good manner, and after calling the lord, he pouted, lowered his head and turned around.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, Liu Yi knew that Xiao Chengwu was angry with him, and he didn't pay attention to it, but pretended to be angry and said to Cheng Yu, "Cheng Yu, your son keeps giving orders, and he ran up to the city tower without permission to commit a big crime in the war, he is young and ignorant, I won't punish him, but the son is not the fault of his father, in order to rectify military discipline, I decided to punish you for half a year!" "The reason why Liu Yi said these words was for Xiao Chengwu to hear, saying that he was punished for half a year, like Cheng Yu and Zhang Fei, who followed Liu Yi, they spent Liu Yi on eating, drinking, wearing and living on weekdays, where is there a Yulu now! They knew these Cheng Yu but Xiao Chengwu didn't know, as soon as they heard that his father had been fined for half a year because of himself, Xiao Chengwu, who was facing the wall, hurriedly turned around.
"My lord! One person does things and one person is responsible, your father didn't make a mistake, you can't punish your father, you can punish me if you want to punish me! Xiao Chengwu knelt on the ground, and said urgently with a cry in his voice.
Liu Yi looked at Xiao Chengwu kneeling in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Since that's the case, then I will only punish you alone, stretch out your hand!" ”
When Xiao Chengwu heard Liu Yi say that he would only punish him, his heart suddenly became happy, and he raised his hand above his head without hesitation.
Seeing this, Liu Yi grabbed Xiao Chengwu's hand into his palm, then took out the wicker he had just broken off, tried it on his leg a few times, and after finding the strength, he pumped it into Xiao Chengwu's palm.
"Pap, pap, pap" After three sounds, Xiao Chengwu's palm was pulled out of three red paths, and at this time, Xiao Chengwu's tears began to roll in his eyes, but he was still stubbornly held back.
"Does it hurt?" Liu Yi asked expressionlessly.
"It doesn't hurt!" Xiao Chengwu bit his lip and said with a little strength.
"Tell the truth!" Liu Yi said again.
At this moment, Xiao Chengwu couldn't help it at all, and after a small "um", his eyes turned red, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Liu Yi's heart softened when he heard this, and his eyes were full of distress, but such an expression was suffocated by Liu Yi just after he appeared.
"Xiao Chengwu, you have to remember that as a soldier, it is your duty to obey military orders! Don't say it's you, on the battlefield, as soon as the army moves, even I, the lord, can't easily change the military order! You must know that your personal actions may sometimes cause heavy losses to the entire army, and if it is not for the rescue of a strong man that day, I am afraid that I will not be able to see your parents again in this life! Liu Yi said sternly to Xiao Chengwu.
"Wu'er remembered!" Xiao Chengwu nodded vigorously.
"Hmmm! Just remember, I won't pursue the previous matter, and you don't have to face the wall."
"Thank you, my lord!" When Xiao Chengwu heard that he didn't have to face the wall, he suddenly burst into tears and laughed.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at his cute appearance, Liu Yi had never been married in his two lives, so he was not very good at educating children, so in order not to mislead people's children, he didn't dare to say more.
Being interrupted by Xiao Chengwu like this, Liu Yi suddenly remembered the person who saved Xiao Chengwu on the city tower that day, so he turned around and instructed Zhang Fei, "When the time comes, you go to the team and ask, who saved Xiao Chengwu on the city tower that day?" ”
"Yes!"
After the order, Liu Yi led everyone back to his room, and the maidservants had already cleaned up the room. Tea was already on a square table.
"Although we won this battle, we also suffered heavy losses! If there is chaos today, it is a good opportunity for us to make contributions, and we must get involved in it, lest others get the final benefits! Liu Yi said to Cheng Yu and Zhang Fei after taking a sip of tea.
"Lord, we are not short of weapons, food and grass now, what we lack most at present is people, we lost more than 10,000 soldiers before, and now we have only six or seven thousand people left in addition to those surrendered troops!" Cheng Yu said with some distress.
Liu Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"How many more troops are left?"
Cheng Yu replied, "My lord, less than 5,000 of the more than 10,000 surrendered troops are willing to stay, and the rest of them have fled with money!" ”
"Huh? That's it? I just said, yesterday the lord shouldn't have promised to let those people go, these guys are a bunch of white-eyed wolves! When Zhang Fei heard that most of the surrendered troops had received the money and fled, he suddenly became angry.
Seeing this, Liu Yi persuaded, "Forget Yide, it's only because I was too impulsive on the battlefield that day, and it's understandable that people don't want to talk to me!" Besides, those Yellow Turban Army are also some hard-working people, so let's go. ”
"Lord, what about the rest of these people?" Cheng Yu asked.
After Liu Yi thought about it, he said to Zhang Fei, "Yide, I plan to hand over these thousands of Yellow Turban Army to you!" ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately became overjoyed, "Haha, lord, that feeling is good!" I assure you, in less than half a month, I will definitely make them obedient! ”
Liu Yi nodded when he heard this.
"But you have to remember that you must discipline your soldiers well, you must not be hostile to those who surrender, and you must ensure the internal harmony of the team!"
"Lord, don't worry! It's on me! ”
Liu Yi saw that the matter of surrendering the army had been finalized, so he began to talk to Cheng Yu about pacifying the people.
"Sir, now that the war is over, I plan to return the overcollected grain to the people, do you think this is appropriate?"
Cheng Yu thought for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "The lord's move is very appropriate, so that not only can it alleviate the pain in the hearts of the people, but also the lord's actions will definitely boost the lord's prestige!" ”
Liu Yi saw that Cheng Yu agreed with his idea, so he discussed some specific matters of distributing food with the two.
"Lord, what should Cheng Zhiyuan do?" Cheng Yu saw that everything had been decided, so he asked about Cheng Zhiyuan.
At the mention of Cheng Zhiyuan, Liu Yi suddenly hated itchy.
"When the martyrs' cemetery is built, let's use him to pay tribute to the heroes!"
