Chapter Fifty-Six: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Zhu Wei over there was also puzzled, why didn't he stop fighting? Although the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army was fierce, if this trend continued, it would not take long to exterminate the traitors.
Taking this opportunity, the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army integrated their armies with each other, and the Han army still surrounded the Yellow Turban Army with scattered forces. And the yellow scarves retreated into a ball, occupying a radius of several miles, waiting for the battle. They did not surrender, they wanted to hear what was convincing to them.
After laying down the weapon, if the Han army repents, it will be a man-made sword, and I will be a fish. can only be slaughtered by others.
Although the battle was not completely over, the scene was deadlocked.
Liu Fan led Guan Yu and two hundred guards to meet with Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan, the main generals of Changshe City.
"I am the commander of this army, Huangfu Song, who are you?" Huangfu Song asked Liu Fan with a cold face. He guessed that this person should be the main general of the reinforcements, but he was very naïve and had never seen it.
"Captain Huben, Liu Fan!" Originally, Liu Fan wanted to get off the horse and say hello, but when he saw the other party sitting on the horse, he didn't feel grateful to himself at all because he came to help him.
So Liu Fan also sat down and responded. He doesn't put a hot face on a cold ass.
"Do you know what a rebellion is?" Huangfu Song questioned Liu Fan. Captain Huben is the commander of the forbidden army and a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he is not afraid of Liu Fan's identity.
"Capital offense too!" Liu Fan replied.
"Then why did you pardon them for their innocence?" Huangfu Song has to deal with the unforgiving way.
"The thieves are guilty, and they are just the people who are forced to take up arms, so they are not guilty!" Liu Fan is right. Then the conversation changed and said to Huangfu Song: "I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to rescue you, this is how you repay your benefactor."
"You ......" Huangfu Song was angry. Huangfu Song wanted to say that even if you don't come, I will be able to break the yellow scarf when the wind blows, but he can't say it, because they sent someone to ask the court for help.
If Huangfu Song really said this, it would inevitably have some hindsight.
"Yizhen, don't be impulsive. After all, Captain Tiger Ben is here to help us. Zhu Wei knew that his old friend was very loyal to his duties, and he had always been serious and iron-blooded in dealing with things like rebellion. In layman's terms, it means that there is no sand in the eyes.
"Captain Tiger, what do you think these Yellow Turban Army should do?" Zhu Wei turned to Liu Fan and asked.
"Send them back to their respective hometowns, and ask Your Majesty to waive their land rent for three years, and allocate grain to feed the hungry." Liu Fan said sonorously. That one just now was Huangfu Song, and this should be Zhu Yan.
"Is there any merit in rebellion? It's a ridiculous joke! Huangfu Song scoffed.
"Now there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 Yellow Turbans, and 30,000 of your army, even if you exterminate them all, how many soldiers do you need to die in battle, is it 10,000? Or twenty thousand? Is this your way of doing it? Even if you don't think about the Yellow Turbans, think about your own soldiers. Liu Fan asked rhetorically.
Liu Fan didn't understand that when Huangfu Song was quelling the rebellion of the kingdom, he wanted to use the method of surrendering without a fight. Why are you so ruthless on the Pingding Yellow Turban.
Historically, after the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan and Runan was pacified, Huangfu Song would go north to Jizhou. After he defeated the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, he forced 60,000 yellow scarves to jump into Zhangshui, slaughtered Quyang City, and built a Jingguan with 100,000 heads.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Fan's words came out, there was a commotion among the soldiers behind Huangfu Song. They are not the descendants of Huangfu Song, many of them are forbidden troops around Luoyang. It was only temporarily restrained by Huangfu Song.
"Vertical arrogance!" Huangfu Song has been galloping across the field for many years, and he was scolded by a junior, how can he stand it. In a fit of rage, he drew his sword and faced each other.
Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife mopped the ground, as long as Liu Fan gave an order, he would behead Huangfu Song. The two hundred guards behind Liu Fan also looked like they were going to fight.
"Listen to me, two of you!" Zhu Wei was afraid that they would fight, so he hurriedly came over to stop it.
"It's getting late today, how about we talk about it tomorrow?" Zhu Yan opened his mouth and said.
Zhu Wei is not Huang Fu Song's deputy general, he and Huang Fu Song each command an army, and they are both the main generals in their respective armies.
"It's good!" Liu Fan nodded and rode away with his subordinates. He knew that Zhu Yan, like Huangfu Song, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
In addition to being able to fight, Zhu Yun and Huangfu Song are both people who have been eunuchs, assassins, and scholars. All are politically intelligent.
After Liu Fan took his subordinates away, Zhu Wei said to Huangfu Song: "Yizhen, you are reckless today!"
"Your Majesty asked me to wait to exterminate the Yellow Turban, but not to let me wait for the pardon of the Yellow Turban! This kid is really hateful when he speaks! Huangfu Song said hatefully.
Thinking of what Liu Fan said, "This is your way of being a general", Huangfu Song gritted his teeth. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, studied the art of war hard, and is familiar with bow horses, and was told by a boy under the age of twenty that he really can't stand it.
"His name is Liu Fan, and it is very likely that he is the Liu Fan from Hedong. Since General Hu Ben Zhonglang commanded Hu Ben Lang, the position of Hu Ben Lieutenant has not been held for decades, and now that he is in office, he must be valued, and only Hedong Liu Fan has the ability to hold this position. Zhu Yun said to Huangfu Song.
"I used to admire him, but when I see him today, that's it!" Huangfu Song said disdainfully.
"Early tomorrow morning, our soldiers will bury the pot to cook, and after they are full, they will attack the Yellow Turban, at this time the Yellow Turban will be exhausted, you and I will attack and kill the past, even if there is no him Liu Fan, it will be easy to win." Huangfu Song said to Zhu Yan. These Yellow Turbans are like a thorn in his heart, and if he doesn't get rid of them, he feels uncomfortable.
"If I were the main general and surrounded these yellow turbans, I would not hesitate to kill them all. But these yellow scarves were surrounded with Liu Fan's cooperation, which is contrary to common sense. Zhu hesitated.
"We should share our worries for the king. The yellow turban thief is a big problem for my henchmen, if I don't kill the chickens and make an example, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful in the future. Huangfu Song said softly.
"That's as it should be!" After listening to Huangfu Song's explanation, Zhu Yan nodded slightly. But the brow was furrowed.
I have only heard of Liu Fan and Zhu Yan, but I don't know his character.
