"King He is dead...... King He is dead...... Run......"

After He Yilong's death in the east battalion, the soldiers and horses of He Yilong were also routed and difficult to contain, and the original battle was transformed into a chase in an instant, and some smart people put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"He Yilong is dead, how can this be?" Xiying's Lin cultivation was also very unexpected, I didn't expect it to be such an ending.

With the death of He Yilong, the battle situation has changed dramatically, the collapse of the four battalions of the left has been brewed, the old Hui Ma Shouying, the troubled king Lin Chengcheng, and the reincarnated king Liu Xiyao have fled with soldiers and horses, and Cao Bianjiao did not stop the offensive, all the way to the Wabu River, it was already noon the next day, the displaced people rushed to cross the river, and the people and horses trampled to death were countless, and the Wabu River was not wide.

In this battle, the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, more than 100,000 troops, as many as 20,000 people were killed, most of them trampled on each other and died, as many as 40,000 or 50,000 people were captured, and the rest were taken away by Ma Shouying, Lin Yangcheng, and Liu Xiyao, Cao Bianjiao did not continue to chase, after crossing the Wabu River, it was the Liuhuo Mountains, and his war horse chased and killed for a night and a half, and he was already tired, and if he chased down, he was worried that he would follow the future of his uncle Cao Wenzhao.

When Cao Bianjiao returned to Hefei with tens of thousands of prisoners, everyone was shocked, I didn't expect the official army to be able to achieve such a big victory this time, since the ninth year of Chongzhen, after the middle capital Fengyang was breached, there were not many wars on the side of Huainan and Jiangbei, but it was not as big as the scale of the Central Plains, but the defeat of the official army was a common thing, especially this time, half of Huainan was almost lost, at this time such a big victory, for all the military and civilians, it was a great encouragement.

"Congratulations to General Cao, congratulations to General Cao, the general is worthy of being my Ming Dynasty's premier general, three battles and three victories, which is enough to inspire the spirit of my Ming army." Jin Sheng was also excitedly congratulating Cao Bianjiao, so obedient and talking, which made Cao Bianjiao very useful.

"This is the head of Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Jin Jian Jun, this good news, it's up to you to write it, the five battalions of Ge Zuo died and surrendered, and the other three people have fled into the mountains and forests with the remnants of the defeated generals." Cao Bianjiao took off the package hanging on the saddle and threw it directly to the ground, writing about the folding, Cao Bianjiao really didn't want to think about it, this is too much, troublesome, just let Jin Sheng do it, anyway, he is a civil official, and this is what he is good at.

After returning to the palace, Cao Bianjiao also found Liu Zhaosun, so many people, always need to be placed, the imperial court does not care about them, Cao Bianjiao can not ignore them, if they do not care, then these people will definitely follow the rogue again, they themselves are not eating and drinking, will be thieves, if they are given a bite to eat and drink, they will not take risks, after all, the Chinese have that kind of resilience in their bones, everything can be endured, as long as they can save their lives, no matter how hard and tired they can bear, they are afraid that they will not be able to live, There will be no scruples.

"At present, our army is only prisoners, there are sixty or seventy thousand people, of which 20,000 strong men can be trained into an army, but the rest of the people are old and weak, women and children, if we ignore it, these people are afraid that it will still be difficult to survive, we have to find a way to settle them, and I have learned about these people, there are Henan, Huguang, Shaanxi, Shanxi, if they are allowed to return to their hometowns, they are also forced to die, rather than this, Ben will think about whether we can organize and implement the military cantonment, so that we can supplement the military rations, At the same time, it can also give them a way to live, you are the quartermaster, I want to hear your opinion? ”

In Cao Bianjiao's army, Liu Zhaosun is a general, and at the same time, he is also in charge of military quartermasters, because he has been a supervisor at the Shaling Post Station for several years, and he still has some experience in management, so Cao Bianjiao found him, Zu Dale and Zhu Wende are both martial artists, and it is in vain to ask if they ask, as for Jin Sheng and Jiang Tianyi, Cao Bianjiao does not trust them, so the people he can trust and can use are naturally Liu Zhaosun.

After listening to Cao Bianjiao's words, Liu Zhaosun also very much agreed, and said: "What the general said is not unreasonable, there is a precedent to follow, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the first year of Jian'an, when Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao defeated Yingru's Yellow Turban Army, captured a large number of ploughing cattle, farm tools and prisoners, and used these farm tools to reclaim the land and implement tuntian to solve the food problem. A large number of displaced people were recruited into groups according to the size of the army, and the government provided land, seeds, cattle, and farming tools, which were cultivated by them, and the harvest was divided proportionally between the government and the peasants in the fields. In the first year of the implementation of Tuntian, he had to make a million hundreds, and then he was in the valley, conquered the Quartet, and had no labor to transport grain, so he annexed the group of thieves and leveled the world......"

"I didn't expect that General Liu knew a lot about history, and the general also knew about it, yes, this is what the general meant, if he can make good use of these prisoners, it will be a big help for our army. When will the imperial court have enough money and grain, and when the time comes, we will be in arrears, and we will have no choice, looting is not a long-term solution, and I Cao Bianjiao can't do it, so Ben Jiang thought of this method. ”

"I heard that the area of Shaobi and Dongfeishui is vast and sparsely populated, which is most suitable for tuntian, and can also plant tea, mining, fish forest, cotton and linen and other sideline industries, and make full use of these manpower."

Hearing Liu Zhaosun's suggestions, Cao Bianjiao also thought so, and laughed: "Yes, what you said is very right, make full use of it, grow food to supplement military food, plant tea, cotton and linen, etc., can be exchanged for money, and then you can enrich the salary and silver to make military funds, in this way, even if the imperial court owes us food and salary, we can also stabilize the hearts of the people, yes, I will ask the emperor for an order, start to handle this matter, after you go back, you can draw up a charter, first show it to the general, and then start to implement it, In addition, if you personally go to the Shaobi area to investigate, how to arrange it, you must also know it in your heart. ”

"The lowly official understands, the general can rest assured, and the lowly official will go to inspect it in person, and then submit the statute when he returns."

"Okay! There you go! Cao Bianjiao also agreed to his request and allowed him to go to investigate.

The news of Cao Bianjiao's great victory and the defeat of the fifth battalion of the Revolution and the loss of the north fled also quickly reached Zhang Xianzhong's ears, although Zhang Xianzhong did not do much in the war, he was repeatedly defeated, but this person was cunning like a fox, and every time he went to a place, he wantonly gathered his eyes and ears, spent a lot of money, and took those Lang Zhong and scoundrels who went to the side as the eyes and ears to listen to the movements of the officials and soldiers, so the war in Hefei was almost transmitted to Zhang Xianzhong on the front and back feet.

The defeat of the fifth battalion of the left is also a big loss for Zhang Xianzhong, just formed an alliance with them, relying on each other, I didn't expect the fifth battalion of the left to be defeated so quickly, he didn't even have time to rescue, and now they fled into the mountains and forests, then only their own side is left to face the official army, for Zhang Xianzhong, this is not a good thing, you must know that near him, there are two official armies of Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo to contain him, plus a Cao Bianjiao, he is not so easy to deal with.
