Chapter 82: Five Days and Six Cities (9)
"Listen to the yellow turbans in the city, the leader of the yellow turbans who commands more than 1,000 people, I will kill them, and the rest are not guilty, and quickly open the city and surrender. Our army is a stone's throw away from Xiangcheng, and it can be reached in an instant. Guan Yu was under the city of Xiangcheng and shouted to the people on the city tower.
"Whoever surrenders is not guilty, and if he kills a leader, he will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and whoever opens the gates will be rewarded with a hundred gold. Liu Jun will settle me and wait. ”
The yellow turbans under the city shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
When the yellow scarves in the city heard about it, they immediately panicked. Especially those Yellow Turban Chiefs who command more than 1,000 people.
The Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall also saw that the yellow scarves of the surrendered officers and soldiers in the front rows under the city tower were all acquaintances, all of them were Jiaxian Yellow Turbans.
There was a change in the hearts of ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, it turned out that surrendering could really save them from death.
Guan Yu ordered someone to take out He Yi's head, hang it on the flag, and said with fuel on the fire: "Can you know this person?"
The yellow scarf in the city looked at it, and it was terrible. Jiaxian County was really breached, and Qu Shuai He Yi was really dead.
The Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall saw that they were destitute at dusk, and their destiny was difficult to change. Join forces to kill the Yellow Turban leader on the city wall, open the door and surrender.
When Liu Fan led the army to Xiangcheng, the situation in the city had almost been stabilized, and a group of yellow turbans walked out of the four gates and surrendered to the officers and soldiers.
Liu Fan ordered Xu Huang to lead his subordinates to enter the city to stabilize order, and the soldiers remembered the military order.
The people of the city were relieved when they watched from their homes. The moth thief was finally pacified by Wang Shi.
In the evening, Liu Fan gave a lecture to the surrendered Yellow Turbans and rewarded the Yellow Turban soldiers who opened the city gates and killed the Yellow Turban leaders. stabilized the uneasy mind of the Yellow Turban who surrendered.
Except for the 1,000 soldiers who entered the city, the other soldiers and the Yellow Turbans were all stationed outside the city.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Fan stayed behind with 500 soldiers to guard Xiangcheng. With the remaining 8,000 soldiers and horses and all the yellow turbans, they rushed eastward.
So far, 60,000 people under Liu Fan have surrendered to the Yellow Turban.
To the southeast of Yingchuan County, there are also two cities occupied by the Yellow Turban, Linying and Yuncheng.
Linying is in the north of Yingshui, and like Yingyang County, it is built by Yingshui.
Linying County is adjacent to Yuncheng County to the south, and the city of Yuncheng County is close to Rushui.
However, Liu Fan learned from the mouth of the Yellow Turban that there were less than 5,000 Yellow Turbans in these two cities, and after the destruction of the main forces of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and Runan, they were a group of rabble.
Bocai's tactic in Yingchuan was to take Changshe County, and then go south to Xu County in the north of Linying County, so that the counties occupied by the Yellow Turbans would completely surround Yingyang and Yingyin counties, as long as they sent troops from all sides to engulf these two counties. At that time, most of Yingchuan County will fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban.
Yingyin and Yingyang are located in the center of Yingchuan County, with mountains and rivers and unique topography. But the plan can't keep up with the changes, and the Changshe City alone makes Bocai turn from a dream into a fantasy.
For Bo Cai, no matter whether Liu Fan will appear or not, his ending will be the same.
"Gongming, I will give you 1,000 infantry, 500 cavalry, plus 30,000 yellow turbans to go to Linying, Linying is just a small city, vulnerable to a blow, after you take Linying, leave 500 soldiers to guard, and then take the captured yellow scarves to Yuncheng and the army round." Before Liu Fan set out on the expedition, he ordered Xu Huang.
Good steel is used on the blade, as long as Xu Huang concocts it in the same way, it is easy to take down Linying.
"The last general will live up to the trust of the lord." Xu Huang commanded. At the same time, my heart warmed, and the lord gave me Xu Huang such an easy credit.
When Xu Huang led a part of the men and horses and 30,000 yellow scarves to Linying, Liu Fan ordered the rest of the men and horses to march into Yuncheng.
Yuncheng and Linying are separated by mountains, the distance is far from Xiangcheng, and in the evening, Xu Huang is still thirty miles away from Linying, and Liu Fan is still forty miles away from Yuncheng.
After camping in the open for a night's rest, the two sides continued their march to their destination the next morning.
Although the soldiers of Yuncheng knew that the main forces of Bocai and Peng Tuo were defeated, they were not too afraid, because they were still covered by barriers.
After Liu Fanjun appeared ten miles away from Yuncheng, the Yellow Turbans of Yuncheng found that most of the officers and soldiers had attacked.
Yuncheng's yellow scarf was very conscious, and he knew that with his own people, he couldn't defend Yuncheng, which was only two zhang high on the city wall. decisively led a part of the yellow scarves and property to abandon the city and flee.
Guan Yu led all the cavalry, where could they escape? Guan Yu led his subordinates with 500 cavalry to pursue for more than ten miles, killing several Yellow Turban leaders and forcing the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers to surrender.
And the yellow turban in the city saw that the leader had fled, and had no intention of fighting, so he opened the door and surrendered.
After pacifying Yuncheng, Liu Fan distributed the grain and property stored in the yellow scarves in the city to the people of Yuncheng, so that the people were happy and convinced of Liu Fan.
At noon on another day, Xu Huang returned with 500 infantry and 500 cavalry, and there were more than 5,000 more people in his Yellow Turban team.
"Did Komeito's trip go well?" When Xu Huanglai reported to Liu Fan, Liu Fan was the first to ask.
"My lord, our army has just arrived in Linying City, Linying Yellow Turban will open the city and surrender, because it is the leader of Linying Yellow Turban who took the lead in surrendering, I can't kill him, so tie him back to the lord's decision. I distributed all the money and food of the Linying Yellow Turban to the people in the city in the name of the lord, and now Linying City is singing praises to the lord. Xu Huang finished his words in one breath, crisply and neatly.
The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart. The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. The king's affairs are like grass mustard, and the ministers regard the king as an enemy.
The monarch has the king's way, the minister has the minister's way, and both sides do their best. The monarch envoys are courteous, and the ministers are loyal, which remains unchanged in ancient and modern times.
Liu Fan regards Xu Huang as his right-hand man and puts his heart in his heart. Xu Huang naturally regarded Liu Fan as his heart. After pacifying the Linying Yellow Turban, his name was not mentioned, as if he was a nobody, and Liu Fan was the main one everywhere.
