Volume 1: The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 134: The Battle of the Changshe (4)

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are not good at stubble, they are subject to the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army under Bocai, and they will inevitably take revenge. Especially Zhu Jun, the three-way army attacked the Yellow Turban Army, and he returned from a big defeat, which frustrated the morale of the officers and soldiers, but he still relied on the efforts of Guo Bin's department for more than half a month to gradually recover. He urgently needed to vent his grievances and the grievances of his officers and soldiers, and he also needed a great credit to offset the sin of losing the first battle.

Therefore, Zhu Jun is bound to work hard to perform and do his best to exterminate the Yellow Turban, and the best target for venting in front of him is the 200,000 defeated army of Bocai's department. Guo Bin saw the current situation of these Yellow Turban Army, and felt pity in his heart, and realized a serious problem: the officers and soldiers might kill prisoners.

Since ancient times, it has been accepted that the killing of prisoners is ominous, because it is indeed not a face-showing thing. One of the four famous generals of the Warring States period in history, Bai Qi, who was famous for killing prisoners, was nicknamed "Ren Tu". Although he made great achievements for the Qin country, he could not escape the bad luck of King Qin Zhao giving him a sword to kill himself, nor could he escape the word "cool" in the thousand-year-old history books.

Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is not a good word about Bai Qi's evaluation.

The grandson of the great general He Jin, He Yan said: "Bai Qi descended to Zhao and deceived him for 400,000, how can it be cruel and violent?" ”

Later, Deng Ai, who was the first to attack the capital of Shu Han, also said: "Loyal ministers are here!" The coolness of white rise is seen again today. ”

It can be seen that Bai Qi at this time is at least not a recognized good person.

However, the 40,000 officers and soldiers were besieged by Changshe for nearly two months, and the morale of the army was greatly defeated, and the officers and soldiers urgently needed a great merit to appease the grievances of the soldiers. More importantly, 40,000 horses have been eating and drinking for two months, and the grain and grass in Changshe City have bottomed out, if another 200,000 Yellow Turban troops are accepted in the city, they will naturally have to be fed again, how can the officers and soldiers afford this?

But if they don't eat, they may rebel again. Not to mention whether they will copy the back road of the officials and troops who went south to suppress the bandits, no one can bear the responsibility for forcing the army to rebel, and when the time comes, it will be a few heads, and the matter will not be simply calmed down. Therefore, for the 200,000 Yellow Turbans to surrender the army, the most straightforward and easiest way is to kill them directly. There will be no sequelae, and it can also be mixed with a decapitation merit, which is a real merit that is more convincing than anything else in the army.

was running towards Changshe City, Xi Zhicai suddenly received the news of the horse visit, and then rode the horse behind Guo Bin and said, "Lord, the big thing is not good!" ”

Guo Bin only felt a sigh in his heart, and he couldn't think about the wording of begging Huangfu Song to let go of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong?" ”

Only listening to Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "The right Zhonglang general is going to kill the Yellow Turban prisoners of war!" ”

Guo Bin was startled, hurriedly reined in the war horse, and asked, "Where is it?" ”

Xi Zhicai didn't have such excellent equestrian skills as Guo Bin, and flew out behind Guo Bin's horse, and the general set the horse, and said loudly: "It's by the river in the west of the city!" ”

Guo Bin's face was gloomy, he turned the horse's head, waved the Xuanlong spear, and said, "Sons, follow me to save people!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei responded in unison, and all the troops turned around on horseback and galloped towards the west of Changshe City.

Since Guo Bin first arrived in Guijing, he has followed the drama Zhicai on his side, and naturally knows that Guo Bin is already ashamed and annoyed at this time, and he is angry. He knows who Guo Bin is, and he also knows why Guo Bin is so resentful. Because Guo Bin is quite easy-going by nature, he treats his subordinates surprisingly well, and he is an ordinary farmer under his rule, and Guo Bin can also give him extraordinary respect.

And under Guo Bin's rule, there has never been a major case of careless human life, the most important reason is that Guo Bin is round on the outside and square on the inside, and everyone knows that Guo Bin loves the people like a son and will never tolerate such things.

Worried that Guo Bin would leave no room for doing things under his anger, Xi Zhicai hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him.

Guo Bin led the army to the west of the city, more than 700 horses turned up the billowing smoke and dust and the fierce momentum of the iron hooves flying on the road, the officers and soldiers along the way and the Yellow Turban prisoners of war were so shocked that they dodged one after another, and it was Huangfu Song at the head of the Changshe City who saw the turbulent momentum here, and he was also shocked: Could it be that the Yellow Turban Army still has reinforcements?

No wonder Huangfu Song was surprised, if the Yellow Turban Army was being pursued by the Yellow Turban Army when the official army was chasing the Yellow Turban Army like sheep all over the mountains, and the Yellow Turban elite attacked, as long as there were one or two thousand people, the situation would be out of control. At that moment, he hurriedly ordered the four gates of Changshe City to be closed, and Ming Jin ordered the officers and troops to collect their troops, and sent scouts to ride fast horses to observe the enemy's situation.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and being able to respond quickly to the enemy's situation and take effective means to stop losses is also an important basis for measuring the level of a general.

Guo Bin galloped, and suddenly saw a group of men and horses galloping in front of him, with bright clothes and armor, and spears like a forest. Headed by a general, seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, it was Cao Cao, who was the official and rode the captain.

Seeing Cao Cao, Guo Bin was naturally pleasantly surprised, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to speak, so he led the army to gallop away. When Cao Cao saw Guo Bin, he was also surprised and happy in his heart, but when he saw that Guo Bin, who had always been calm and unhurried, led the army so hurriedly, he knew that something big must happen, so he beckoned Sima to continue to pursue the Yellow Turban to join the army, and he followed Guo Bin and ran away. That Sima also wanted Cao Cao to bring a few more people for safety, but before he could speak, he disappeared from Cao Cao. Cao Cao's mind is very simple, in this world, I am afraid that there is no safer place than Guo Qianyang's army.

Along the way, Guo Bin didn't have time to talk in detail, and only told Cao Cao about Zhu Jun's intention to kill the Yellow Turban and surrender the army, and arrived in the west of Changshe City.

I saw that Zhu Jun made people set up a stockade made of logs by the river, collected the blades of the Yellow Turban Army, and drove them all in, and there were nearly 10,000 people, crowded inside. Then they drove them out one by one and beheaded them at the water's edge a few miles away.

Guo Bin had also seen apocalyptic movies in the United States in his previous life, and he had seen many bloody scenes of cutting people down, saving and eating them after bloodletting in the pool, but by no means as shocking as the scene at this scene today.

I think I have killed several batches, and there is already a man-high hill of human heads on one side of the army. And more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who were tied in a string of ropes and knelt in a row, "waiting" to be beheaded, although their faces were frightened, they had no heart to resist. Life is too hard, and perhaps death will be a way to liberation. The blood on the ground pooled into not wide streams, and each of them flowed into the water, and the downstream of the water had been dyed red with blood.

Seeing such a scene, Guo Bin's heart was mixed, and for a while, shock, regret, disgust, anger, and many emotions impacted Guo Bin's brain. He galloped on his horse and shouted, "Keep people under the sword!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of drums, and I saw the knife and axe men raise their knives and cut down the yellow turban captives lined up to the ground. Suddenly, countless heads rolled down the ground.

Guo Bin's eyes were cracked, and he raised his hand to shoot an arrow at the drummer. It's just that although his riding skills are good, his archery skills are far from good, so this powerful arrow did not hit the drummer, but an arrow was shot at the handsome flag fluttering in the wind.

Xi Zhicai saw Guo Bin raise his hand to shoot an arrow, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and when he saw that this arrow was missed, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that the lord did not mess around. But when he saw that he had shot at Zhu Jun's "Right Zhonglang General" handsome flag, his eyes were round and he was shocked on the spot.

Guo Bin didn't pay attention to this, and when he saw that his arrow missed, he rode his horse and waved his gun straight to the drummer.

When the drummer saw that Guo Bin was covered in blood, with blood dripping from the feet of his robe, his eyes wide open, and his eyes full of red bloodshots, he was like a Shura from hell, running towards him with murderous energy, and his heart was terrified. wanted to run and dodge, but he couldn't use any strength, so he just stood on the ground in a daze.

Seeing that Guo Bin was about to rush to the front, with his kung fu, it was as easy as crushing an ant to kill a drummer. At this time, Guo Bin looked at the drummer's panicked appearance, his heart suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly reined in his horse and flashed to the side.

When Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a long knife full of pine lines in the oblique thorn handed over, Guo Bin was recovering the Xuanlong spear, seeing this, he waved the spear, and the gun and knife exchanged blows, which was deafening.

When I looked up, I saw that the person who came was wearing rotten silver armor, wrapped in a red scarf, a horizontal ancient ingot knife, riding a flower-maned horse, an ape arm and a bee waist, with a handsome face and a majestic god.

Guo Bin strangled the war horse and said to the man: "Who is coming?" ”

The man waved his horse and said, "Right Zhonglang will be under the account of the Zuojun Sima, and Sun Jian of Wujun will see the cavalry captain!" ”

Guo Bin's heart sank, and he hurriedly replied: "It turned out that Sun Wentai of Fuchun has arrived, and I have heard the name of the Jiangdong Tiger for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!" ”

The person who came was Sun Jian, a native of Fuchun County, Wu County, and according to legend, he was the descendant of the great military strategist Sun Wu. The history books say that he "has an extraordinary appearance, a broad nature, and a curious festival", and Sun Jian is called the Jiangdong Tiger in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Excellent martial arts, strategic, and a character.

Zuojun Sima was a subordinate official of the Zhonglang General of the Han Dynasty, and being recruited by high-ranking officials was also a shortcut to being an official at this time. However, this kind of adjutant and Guo Bin were conquered by the imperial court and were valued by the Son of Heaven as an official who was named the captain of the cavalry, and the difference in status could not be calculated, so Sun Jian respectfully saluted Guo Bin, which was right.

Sun Jian's hometown is Fuchun County, Wu County, which is now Fuyang County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province; And Zhu Jun's hometown is Shangyu County, Huiji County, which is now Shangyu, Zhejiang. At this time, although one belongs to Wu County and the other belongs to Huiji County, the distance is very close, so it is very reasonable for Zhu Jun to recommend Sun Jian to be the Sima of Zuojun.

Because, in this era, the friendship of fellow villagers is also an extremely important connection, the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and promoting the rising stars of fellow villagers is also what people who have to be appointed as high-ranking officials should do, otherwise they will be spurned by the people in the township as ruthless people. And this custom in our country, in modern times, has gradually evolved, and it has become that every poor relatives in the countryside come to the city, they have to go to the townspeople who are mingling in the city, or to spend the night, or to eat and drink, or to find a job, and so on. If they fail to meet their requirements, they may be scolded for being inferior to others, and their relatives and parents in their hometown will also be spurned.

To say that this is a bad habit, but it has its own historical conditions for its formation, and it is also a common means for people who have suddenly attained high positions to form a good hometown and enrich their wings, and it is also a common means to quickly open up the situation and control the overall situation in a new position. Therefore, one relies on this to become a leader, and the other relies on the people of his hometown to control his subordinates, which is a good thing to hit it off and meet the needs of both sides.

However, the times are developing, society is changing, and this custom has been passed down to the present, but it has become a bad habit that many people have a headache for. Therefore, the "care for your poor relatives" mentioned by the state has become a real moral policy.
