Chapter 358: Pacifying Yu Zhang
Three thousand people is not much, but it gives everyone a signal that Liu Yong's reinforcements have arrived. As the front, and it is the man who rescues the lord, Gan Ning must not send a weak brigade, but three thousand elites led by his No. 1 general, Pan Zhang. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they immediately threw the enemy into chaos.
In front, Zhao Yun's 500 white-haired troops fought hard, and Pan Zhang's 3,000 Zhengsheng men and horses in the back, and the right-wing men and horses of the barbarian army suddenly showed decline and lost morale.
Not long after, the Ganning brigade arrived, 20,000 horses, before the people arrived, they saw the smoke and dust raised high, like a sandstorm rolling in, the momentum was very terrifying.
The situation of the two armies immediately reversed, and the originally elated barbarian army all looked stunned, but the originally stable thing became unpredictable. On the side of the Jingzhou army, it immediately turned from sadness to joy, and under the impact of great joy, it reduced its own potential to the extreme, and its combat power was three points higher than usual.
Zhao Yun was in front, where the spear in his hand passed, there was a corpse, and five hundred people behind him rushed into battle, and the barbarian army that had expanded the largest and was already in an unorganized battle formation was directly dispersed. Because the barbarians are basically improvised by various tribes, the tacit understanding and cooperation are very poor, and when they encounter defeat at this moment, they immediately disperse and flee in all directions, but they will make their own battle formation even more messy.
Gan Ning waved his hand, 20,000 people were divided into four battle formations to kill, except for Pan Zhang, who brought 3,000 people, the remaining 5,000 people, quickly pushed the battle line forward, and Gan Ning led 2,000 men and horses, rushed straight through the enemy formation, came to the city gate, opened the city gate under the response of the people in the city, entered the city, and met Liu Yong.
"Gan Ning Savior is late, please atone for your sins!" Gan Ning saw that Liu Yong was safe and sound, and finally put his mind at ease and hurriedly bowed down.
Liu Yong stepped forward to help his general and said: "Xingba came at the right time, what a crime!" ”
Gan Ning thought that Liu Yong was just appeasing himself, but unexpectedly Liu Yong pointed to the outside of the city: "Xingba, look, these barbarians were originally hidden in the mountains, even if they wanted to kill them on weekdays, it would be extremely difficult, and they could gather here today, although it was a huge threat to us, but on the other hand, it was a huge opportunity to annihilate them?" ”
Gan Ning admired in his heart, his own lord can still be as stable as Mount Tai at this moment, such a calm analysis, it is really very human, and his achievements in the future will be amazing, and his original choice is really lucky.
Thinking of this, Gan Ning immediately said: "Since the lord intends to wipe out the barbarians, Ning will lead the army out of the city to arrange men and horses, and kill the barbarians to avoid future troubles!" ”
Liu Yong nodded, with Gan Ning's 20,000 fresh troops, the defeat of the barbarians was a foregone conclusion.
The barbarian army under the city has been too busy to take care of itself, and no longer has the heart to attack the city, Liu Yong saw that the overall situation had been decided, handed over the city to Chen Dao, and took Kou Feng and a few personal soldiers back to the house on his own, he was also tired for a long time, exhausted, and fell asleep. By the time he woke up again, it was noon the next day.
The soldiers guarding the door heard Liu Yong's greeting, hurriedly came in, and waited for Liu Yong to ask about the situation, and finally felt completely relieved. Just when Liu Yong walked down the thick city wall, under the impact of Gan Ning's 20,000 well-trained regular troops, more than 20,000 barbarian troops were killed by one side without suspense and fled in all directions. Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong, Chen Wu and others divided their troops to chase and kill, and killed nearly 10,000 barbarians, only killing bloodstained everywhere and dead corpses everywhere. There were seven or eight thousand captives who could not escape, and less than a thousand escaped. Seeing that the general trend was gone, Zhang Jie, the commander of the thief army, was about to leave, but was just bumped into by Zhao Yun and captured alive. Since then, the Yuzhang Shanyue rebellion has been quelled.
In ancient times, in the cruel era of cold weapons, the rulers in order to achieve long-term peace and stability to deter the enemy, after the victory of the war, gather the enemy's corpses, seal the soil into a high mound, such as a pyramid, called Jingguan. This is what many emperors have done, and now, Liu Yong wants to do it once, and he wants to use this victory to deter the Shanyue tribes, who have always been the rulers of the Han Dynasty.
Although this was cruel, it was aimed at the Shanyue barbarians, and almost everyone agreed with the sergeants who had always complained about these uncivilized barbarians.
Three days later, a three-zhang tall Beijing Temple was truly completed. The Jingguan, which is full of mutilated corpses, is very scary, you can see it from afar, the news spread, and all the tribes of Shanyue are afraid to surrender. Especially Hu Lie, after hearing the news, he specially sent someone to check, and after learning the truth, he was deeply glad about his decision that day.
Since the First World War pacified Shanyue, Liu Yong returned to Nanchang under the escort of the army, Liu Ye immediately went out of the city thirty miles to greet him, and reported to Liu Yongyu: "Poyang Peng Qi and Peng Hu brothers led an army of 5,000 to vote, I don't know how the lord plans to arrange?" ”
"Peng Qi, Peng Hu?" Liu Yong was a little puzzled, he didn't seem to have heard of these two names.
Liu Ye remembered that he hadn't reported it to Liu Yong, and hurriedly explained. It turns out that the lands in the south of the Yangtze River, many places have not been developed at this time, out of the primitive slash-and-burn appearance, there are many mountains, ethnic groups and tribes, and the transportation is even more inconvenient, so the large and small forces take advantage of the inability of the imperial court to swarm up, and thieves are prevalent.
Zhang Jie, who had been exterminated before, occupied the Yuzhang Mountains, and the brothers Peng Qi and Peng Hu had been taking Poyang Lake as the center, making chaos everywhere, gathering nearly 10,000 water bandits and river thieves, dominating one side, coming and going without a trace, and it was really difficult to exterminate.
Liu Yong is busy with business on weekdays, and Gan Ning and others feel that their faces are gloomy about this matter, so they have no report. Unexpectedly, he was frightened by Liu Yong's construction of a 10,000-person Jingguan this time, and he actually led the army to vote. After Liu Yong heard this, he immediately summoned him. After the Peng brothers learned that the young man in front of them was Liu Yong, who had built the Jingguan and made Jiangdong and Cao Cao suffer many losses, they immediately fell to the ground and expressed their loyalty.
Liu Yong looked left and right, and thought that Gan Ning was born as a river thief, so he smiled slightly: "Since the two of you make a living from Poyang Lake, you must have means on the water, then you will be incorporated into the water army, and you will be under the command of General Gan to obey orders, and each will be named a captain, and you will be rewarded for meritorious service!" ”
The two of them are coming to make a living, and they are not too small at the moment, so they immediately bowed down: "Thank you for taking it in, even if you go to the soup and fire for the lord in the future, you will never give up!" ”
After some kind words of encouragement, he was about to let the two of them retreat, but suddenly the two of them looked at each other, and Peng Qi said again: "If the lord can trust my two brothers, our two brothers can contact Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Chen Fu, Zushan and others in Danyang on their behalf." ”
Liu Ye immediately said softly beside him: "Jinqitun Anle Mountain, Mao Gan, Tunwu Liaoshan, Chen Fu, Zushan Tunlin Lishan, are all bandit sects in Danyang County, and they are claimed to have nearly 10,000 people. ”
When Liu Yong heard the great joy, he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, since the two of you have this heart, then I will wait for the two good news!" Once it is done, it will be sealed! ”
If you want people to do things, then give the other party a hope first, this is Liu Yong's usual method, and it has been tried and tested. With Liu Yong's personal promise, the two were overjoyed and said goodbye.
