Chapter XXIX: Trafficking in Persons Scheme

The matter of treating the wounded was spread ten, ten, and hundred, and soon all the Han troops knew that there was a military order to serve as a soldier under General Huo, which was "not to abandon, not to give up". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In ancient times, soldiers were just cannon fodder, and then they were recruited, and it was common to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but Huo Yu had the concept of later generations, and after the war, the soldiers who did not die must be treated with all their might, which can not only buy the hearts of the army, but also invisibly form a lot of cohesion, and over time this cohesion will become the soul of the army, and an army with a soul will definitely make the enemy fearful.

Two days later, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun convened all the military chiefs in the Changshe County Ya. When Huo Yu arrived, there were already many people in the house, and when they saw Huo Yu coming in, they stepped forward to greet him, and they didn't dare to say anything else, Huo Yu's prestige in the Han army of Changshe still existed. Not long after, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun came together.

"I've seen the general," the crowd came forward to bow.

"I call everyone here today, first, if you play your battle exploits truthfully, the reward of the imperial court will arrive in the near future. Second, how to deal with so many Yellow Turban captives? Let's talk about it! After sitting down, Huangfu Song spoke.

"General, the Yellow Turban thief is guilty of a capital crime, because he killed them all," said a lieutenant.

"General, keeping them is a waste of military rations, and they should be killed." Another person came out of the ranks.

"Yes, yes, it makes sense, our military rations are not enough, and these thieves should be killed."

"Yes, it should be killed, and if you resist the court, you must die."

There was a discussion below, but Huo Yu shook his head at the moment, it seems that killing prisoners is a common thing!! In order to prevent the Wuhu Rebellion, the population base must be maintained to a certain extent, and it is better to kill fewer Han prisoners, and it is okay to drag them to Tuntian, such cheap labor will not be used. Anyway, if it weren't for the Spirit Emperor's greed for money, I wouldn't know how to implement this plan!

So he stepped forward and saluted: "General Huangfu, the last general, have different opinions. After finishing speaking, he looked up at Huang Fu Song, saw Huang Fu Song nodding and continued:

"General, everyone, do you think only about yourself, do you think about others? For example, what about the soldiers who died in battle? “

"General Huo, what does this have to do with the soldiers who died in battle?"

"Killing prisoners is simple, and the people who are killed are Han people, these people are bewitched by the Yellow Turban Dao, and the thief has been ambushed, what does it mean to kill the people? If you kill this people, the loss is our Han people, and this year, the border Hu people have invaded again and again, and they will inevitably slaughter the city wherever they go? Why? It's just that the number of Han people is far more than that of Hu people. “

"Besides, these captives can be exempted from living crimes for capital crimes..... Don't want to change the way? Saying this, Huo Yu looked around and found that everyone was deep in thought, so he continued: "What if you sell them as slaves? Not only can it solve the military expenses for His Majesty, but it can also make up for the losses of the Shida family caused by this turmoil. After speaking, Huo Yu bowed like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and retreated.

"Sold into slavery? Well, this is a good way on the one hand, where is Your Majesty ........" said that Huang Fu Song didn't say much, with a look of "you know", he stroked the tiger's whiskers.

"Gongwei, what do you think?"

Zhu Jun said in his heart, "What can I do, my nephews have spoken, how can I have reason to oppose it, and the people who owe it can be great," so he nodded and said: "This method is feasible, and the military funds obtained will be used to compensate the fallen soldiers, and the rest will be handed over to the treasury to solve the military funding problem." “

"In that case, I will play immediately, and you must take this opportunity to rest and prepare for the battle." Huangfu Song clapped his head.

"No" everyone replied in unison, and then dispersed one by one.

Ten days later, the edict arrived, to the effect that the yellow scarf was not settled, and the battle exploits were remembered first and then rewarded. The order can be raised, Huangfu Song led the army north to reinforce Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun led the army south to attack Wancheng. As for the matter of the captives, of course the emperor is happy to have money, look at this method, not only to avoid excessive losses but also to make money, well, Huo Yu, this kid is thoughtful, I didn't see the wrong person, I think about it everywhere, and I will leave this matter to him. After listening to the edict, Huo Yu said in his heart, "Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song, you don't mention me when you should mention me, and you remember it when you shouldn't mention me." "Anyway, Lao Tzu wants to sell human drops, and it's convenient to do things by himself.

After returning to the barracks, Huo Yu called Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who had returned from completing their tasks, and arranged for them to deal with the matter. When the Xuzhou Mi family and the righteous father secretly sent someone over, the surface meaning is OK, the money is given to the emperor, and the small head is distributed to the families of the fallen soldiers.

Think about it carefully, this time it's a lot of hemorrhage, if you can't go to Guangzong, you must find a chance to talk to Zhang Jiao Lao'er, his master Yu Ji and my master Zuo Ci are all the way, pull some connections to persuade him to hand over the Yellow Turban Elite to me before he dies, so that I can arrange it as soon as possible. With this signboard, the Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban all came to the bowl. I'll go, no! After this is all collected, what should I do if I go to Liaodong Road far away from the grain and grass? Headaches, headaches.

At the beginning of June 184 AD, after the end of the Battle of Changshe, the Han army was divided into two, one led by Huang Mise to the north to reinforce Lu Zhi, and the other led by Zhu Jun to attack Fancheng. On this trip, Huo Yu only brought 1,000 cavalry and Zhang Fei and Liao Hua to accompany him, and handed over the foot soldiers to Dian Wei, Liu Pi, and Gong Du to assist Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping in "human trafficking", and then returned to Chen County.

Since Huo Yu was all cavalry, Huangfu Song sent him to go north to Guangzong first, and he led a large army to follow up, although Cao Cao was also a cavalry, but Huangfu Song was left by his side, perhaps intentionally, but Huo Yu couldn't care so much.

Historically, Lu Zhi led his army to besiege the county seat of Guangzong, and dug trenches, made siege equipment, besieged but did not attack, trying to trap the Yellow Turban. At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng to inspect Lu Zhi's army, during which he persuaded Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng, and Lu Zhi refused, Zuo Feng did not get any benefits, so he held a grudge, in June, after Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang, he slandered Liu Hongjin that Guangzong was easy to break, but Lu Zhi did not move, so Emperor Ling was furious, issued an edict to remove Lu Zhi from his position, and escorted back to Luoyang with a prisoner car. The imperial court worshiped Dong Zhuo as the commander and succeeded Lu Zhi in Jizhou to pacify the Yellow Turban Army, but Dong Zhuo was defeated one after another, almost ruining the good situation of pacifying the Yellow Turban, so the court dismissed Dong Zhuo and worshiped Huangfu Song as the commander again, broke Guangzong, and then pacified the Yellow Turban.

After more than ten days of traveling, I finally arrived in Guangzong. On this day, the army was resting in the woods on the side of the road, and suddenly saw a team of well-equipped soldiers escorting a carriage on the official road, and sent someone to inquire and learned that it was Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng who had gone to Guangzong to inspect. Alas, God has eyes, and he actually let himself meet Zuo Feng, well, what should I do? If he is allowed to go to Guangzong, Lu Zhi will soon be imprisoned, and it will definitely not work if he understands that the fat man is coming, and he must break Guangzong before Huangfu Song arrives, otherwise it will be difficult to do. Simply, if you don't do anything, you can't kill Zuo Feng, it's inconvenient to do it yourself, although there is no sweat medicine now, but there is wine, get drunk first, and then kill you. So he called Liao Hua and whispered in his ear, and then walked towards the official road.
