Chapter 161: To be captured

Ye Chen left some people to organize these captives first and take care of them in a centralized manner, and then he began to organize the team and prepare to go back.

At this time, Cao Cao also came back with his team, and Cao Cao's team was also covered in blood, and it seems that he had killed a lot of people.

"Captain Cao, congratulations on your achievements in the First World War." I have cooperated with him and fought a battle, at least I can talk about friendship, so when I saw Cao Cao coming, Ye Chen greeted him warmly.

"General Ye, congratulations." Although Cao Cao said it, his eyes kept looking back and forth in his guard camp, and he didn't know what to think.

This Cao Cao can be regarded as having seen the power of this team, and his previous estimate of this team was high enough, but now it seems that he still underestimates them, whether it is a single soldier or a team battle, he is the only elite soldier Cao Cao has seen.

Of course, Ye Chen would not know Cao Cao's thoughts, if he knew, then Ye Chen would definitely guard against him like a thief, not afraid that he would steal the teacher, nor afraid that he would dig people, but afraid that he would evaluate his combat power too high, and if he was an enemy in the future, he was afraid that he would be more careful and cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

However, these are still too far away, at least they are still comrades-in-arms now, so the two of them each reorganized their soldiers and horses a little and went to the Changshe to recover their lives.

Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun knew about this big victory, they were still waiting at the top of the city, and for the two elderly generals, it was very tiring to stand on the head of the city all night, but they were always a little uneasy when they didn't see the final result.

Finally, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and it was the escort battalion that had returned.

"Brother Huangfu, why is there an extra batch of people?" After Ye Chen and the others approached, Zhu Jun saw Cao Cao and them.

"It should be the Han army who came to support, and they are under the banner of being my Han officers and soldiers, but I don't know who the person who came." Huangfu Song said.

When they saw them returning, they went together to meet them at the bottom of the city.

"General Jianwei Ye Chen visited the two generals.

When he entered the city, Ye Chen saw Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun greeting him, so he dismounted to meet him.

Ye Chen's words made both of them stunned for a moment, when did Ye Chen become General Jianwei, but as soon as they thought about it, they immediately understood that it must have been Ye Chen who made meritorious contributions, and then the imperial court made him an official.

"Riding the commander Cao Cao, meet the two generals. Cao was ordered to come to the rescue, and was restrained by two generals. Cao Cao also dismounted to greet him.

The rest of the people dismounted, but they didn't have to come forward to meet one by one, Huangfu Song asked them to say the general result, and then let them go to rest first, and wait for the night, the two of them stood in the city all night, and they couldn't hold on, so they went back after knowing the result.

At night, everyone slept and was very energetic, so Huangfu Song summoned everyone over.

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Ye Chen, Cao Cao, as well as Guo Jia, Tai Shici and Guan Yu who were present.

"This time I was able to break the yellow scarf, thanks to your concerted efforts, Song first thanked you here, and then I will play your credit one by one, and ask for credit for everyone." Huangfu Song said with a smile.

Huangfu Song said that everyone's faces showed a relaxed look, and the war was dangerous and tiring, but if it could be exchanged for a reward from the imperial court, then it would definitely be worth it.

Next, Ye Chen and Cao Cao each reported the situation, and after careful calculation, it can be determined that there are less than 20,000 yellow turbans that have fled back, that is to say, the elite of the yellow turbans is basically wiped out, although there are still hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans now, but they can no longer pose a threat, even if there are hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans in Yingchuan City, less than one percent has combat effectiveness.

"General Huangfu, General Zhu, what should we do with the more than 10,000 yellow turbans we have captured." Ye Chen asked.

Huangfu Song thought for a while, sighed and said, "Kill them all." ”

"What! General, that's more than 10,000 people. Ye Chen said in surprise when he heard this promise.

Huangfu Song sighed and said: "I also know that it is very cruel to do this, but the reality has to be like this, I have few soldiers, and I can't leave some people to guard them, besides, the money and food given by the court are limited, which is not enough for us to raise as many prisoners, and if they rebel again, it will pose a great threat to our rear, and once they rebel, can the court still let us go?" ”

Huangfu Song explained to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen listened to the explanation and took a deep breath, he felt very helpless, Huangfu Song's reason was very correct, and the reality was indeed so.

But Ye Chen can't just count it like this, after all, it is more than 10,000 people, not 10,000 pigs and sheep.

"General Huangfu, after all, more than 10,000 people are not a minority, can they be handed over to the subordinates to deal with?" Ye Chen stood up and saluted Huangfu Song and said.

"I don't know what General Jianwei is going to do?" Huangfu Song asked curiously.

"My Ye family has quite an industry in Luoyang, and all industries need a large number of people, I want to enrich these people into my Ye family's workshop, so that at least their lives can be saved, and there is no need to kill." Ye Chen said.

In fact, Huang Fu Song didn't want to do this, after all, they had already surrendered, but they had no choice, how could they guard the more than 10,000 yellow turbans require thousands of troops, and a large amount of food, it is impossible for the imperial court to give this part of the food, which Huang Fu Song knows very well.

"Impossible, it's impossible for me to put this part of the people in Luoyang, if they rebel and the Jingshi is shaken, you and I will be unforgivable." Huangfu Song shouted excitedly.

How could he let Ye Chen take these more than 10,000 people to Luoyang, once there was a change, the entire Luoyang would be in danger, and they insisted in the Changshe that they would not let the yellow scarf disturb Luoyang.

"Lord Huangfu, my Ye family has a big business, not only Luoyang has industries, but also many industries around Luoyang, which can disperse them, and will definitely not let them be thieves again." Ye Chen still insisted, for the sake of more than 10,000 lives, and for his own strength to grow.

"No, you can't let these people get close to Luoyang." Huangfu Song said resolutely, this is already his bottom line.

"General Huangfu and the lord, there is a compromise solution below.

Seeing that Ye Chen and Huangfu Song were at a stalemate, Guo Jia offered advice.

"Feng Xiao said quickly." As soon as he heard that there was a way, Ye Chen rushed in front of Huangfu Song and said.

"The Changshe is next to Songshan, and these yellow turbans are a potential hazard no matter where they stay, so I want to place these prisoners on Songshan and wait until the war is over to deal with them."

Guo Jia's method is indeed a more suitable method, Huangfu Song thought for a while and said: "General Jianwei, you have to think clearly, more than 10,000 people eat and drink, and you have to send people to guard it, but it is not a small cost. ”

"General Huangfu don't worry, my Ye family can afford it, besides, after the war, I will disperse these people to the Ye family's various industries, these are all free labor, and they will earn a lot of profit for my Ye family in the future."

After speaking, Ye Chen showed a smile like a profiteer, making Huangfu Song and the others think that they were just making investments, and secretly despised the idea of this batch of free labor, a profiteer is a profiteer, even if he is already a general Jianwei who is sealed by the imperial court.

But Cao Cao didn't give Ye Chen a look of contempt, but a meaningful expression, but he didn't understand Ye Chen's intention to do this, and thought that Ye Chen was in love with this batch of free labor, but subconsciously made Cao Cao feel wrong.

In the end, Huangfu Song made a compromise and agreed to give these captives to Ye Chen to deal with, after all, they were able to break the yellow scarf this time, Ye Chen's credit was great, although he hated Ye Chen's profiteer's face, but he also understood that this was a better way to deal with it, at least there was no need to kill so many people.

Next, Huang Fu Song didn't say anything about the prisoners, but began to distribute the next things, but when he met Ye Chen, he was in trouble again, because the imperial court only sealed General Ye Chen Jianwei, but did not give an order to Ye Chen, so that he was subject to Huang Fu Song's control.

In this way, Ye Chen is just a friendly army, and he is not subordinate to Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song's head is big, and he doesn't know how to arrange it, for Cao Cao, Huangfu Song is very easy to handle, because the imperial court orders are controlled by themselves, and they can be arranged at will.

"General Huangfu, don't be embarrassed, although I am not under your command, I will fully cooperate with you in the battle until there are no other orders from the imperial court." Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen's idea is very simple, take more credit, now that the main force of the Yellow Turban has been eliminated, the remaining combat effectiveness is not strong, don't grab the credit at this time, let alone when.

Huangfu Song glanced at Ye Chen gratefully, and his impression of him was a little better, at least although this person looked like a profiteer, he also sincerely served the imperial court, which was much better than many people who were vegetarian in the corpse position.

After solving Ye Chen's problem, it won't be so troublesome to arrange it next.
