Chapter Seventy-Seven: Five Days and Six Cities (4)
"Re-use the old trick?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Fan.
"Yes, yes." Liu Fan nodded.
"If it is in Nanyang, this trick may not be successful, but in Yingchuan and Runan, it will be successful in 100 attempts." Cao Cao said to Liu Fan.
Bocai and Peng Tuo's main forces were destroyed, and from another aspect, the belief of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army was long gone, and even those with great ambitions had to succumb to the general trend. Ordinary yellow turbans also realized the horror of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and the appearance of Liu Fan was tantamount to a bright light in the dark night, a spring of nectar in the desert.
The main forces of Nanyang Zhang Mancheng and Jizhou Zhang Jiao are still there, Zhang Mancheng and Zhang Jiao have a strong appeal, and they are in a state of victory, the enemy is weak and I am strong. Those yellow scarves won't buy Liu Fan's account.
In the final analysis, ordinary people are used by those who are not willing to be ordinary and become yellow scarves. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Baibo and Montenegro, under the banner of doing the right thing for the sky, often plundered the prefectures and counties, and even united with the Xiongnu. At every opportunity, they see the needle.
In history, Cao Cao scattered his wealth, and after the righteous soldiers, there were twenty or thirty thousand horses, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was "known as one million", but this million included men, women, and children, and the young and strong were only two or three hundred thousand, and Cao Cao used the strange plan of fighting day and night to subdue these yellow scarves. Since then, Cao Cao has become a climate.
"Report!" A cavalryman galloped out of the city gate and shouted: "Report to Captain Huben, after the soldiers of the cavalry captain enter the city, disturb the people in the city, rape and plunder!" Our army was also affected. ”
"What!" Liu Fan suddenly changed color.
"Guan Yu, you led your 1,000 cavalry to cooperate with Xu Huang in the city to arrest the soldiers in the city who violated military regulations, who would dare not listen? Slash on the spot! Liu Fan then ordered Guan Yu.
"No!" After receiving the order, Guan Yu led a thousand soldiers and horses into the city from the north gate.
Liu Fan glanced at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was at a loss for words.
He really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and after making up his mind, Cao Cao said to his guards: "Go and tell the deputy general, and order him to restrain the soldiers, disturb the people, and kill him!"
The two looked at the horses and were silent!
Cao Cao's city mansion is deep, and he is very together, and even Liu Fan has become a sword halberd.
An hour later, tens of thousands of yellow scarves in Jiaxian County were taken to the open space outside the city.
All the soldiers in Jiaxian County were also called out of the city.
In Liu Fan's camp, there were hundreds of people kneeling in front of the team, they were all caught by Guan Yu for rape and plunder, and they were full of regret at this moment, regretting that they followed Cao Cao's soldiers to do that kind of angry thing as soon as their brains were hot.
In the process of marching, many soldiers are depressed and do not relax, and this situation will occur every time they are victorious, and this moment is also the most impulsive. Impulse is the devil.
In all dynasties, there were a large number of generals who would condone soldiers to burn and loot, because this could boost morale and make soldiers fearless of death.
There were also many ordinary soldiers who joined the army in order to burn, kill, loot, and rob the property and women of the enemy forces after defeating the enemy army. And the generals will acquiesce to this behavior in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, otherwise who will die for you?
The Marquis of Huaiyin was strict in governing the army, and he also asked for the way to kill the wood.
But Liu Fan scoffed at this practice, this kind of practice is acceptable to deal with foreign barbarians, and the behavior of foreign tribes has always been like this, which can be regarded as treating others in their own way.
But it is also a Chinese nation and a self-proclaimed state of etiquette. What is the difference between doing such a cannibalistic and room-fighting thing and barbarianism?
It is natural to be paid as a soldier. As long as you promise a good military salary. It is necessary to make soldiers understand that being a soldier is not only for the sake of being a soldier, but also for the purpose of honoring the generals and glorifying the lintel. Not just to fight for the country, but to fight for your own family.
War, how cruel it is. It's full of sin and madness. When will my heart's wish come true?
Only by reaching the top can we change the order.
What made Liu Fan most angry was that the people in Jiaxian County were also deeply affected by the Yellow Turban, and now the Yellow Turban has been pacified, and he has just gotten rid of the wolves and entered the tiger's mouth. It is estimated that the people's hearts are already dead.
At this time, not only the surrendered yellow scarves were watching, but there were also many people on the city wall, they were all called out by Liu Fan, he wanted to win back the hearts of the people, and he wanted to let his army completely degenerate.
Liu Fan wanted the soldiers to know that the "Seven Killings Order" was blood-red, not transparent.
"You ordered the soldiers to loot?" Cao Cao asked a general.
Cao Cao's army consisted of a Sima from another department, a Sima from the Auxiliary Army, and a deputy general.
This general was the deputy general sent to Cao Cao by the imperial court, named Zhang Bao, an unknown person.
"When General Zhu Wei led me to pacify the Southern Barbarians, he used this method, if the soldiers were not allowed to do this, the light soldiers would have no motivation to fight, and the heavy soldiers would defect, which has been the case since ancient times." Zhang Bao said confidently. He was a military attache at the rank of lieutenant and was not too afraid of Cao Cao.
Zhang Bao's lieutenant is just an ordinary lieutenant, and he can't be compared with a forbidden army lieutenant like Liu Fan.
"Hahahaha! You can say that again. Cao Cao laughed, walked up to Zhang Bao, and patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao patted and walked behind Zhang Bao, his eyes were deep, and a trace of fierceness flashed.
"You are quelling the barbarians, I am quelling the rebellion, you can do half of your strength?" Cao Cao said faintly to the surroundings.
Zhang Bao felt that something was wrong and quickly turned around.
Cao Cao pulled out the sword at his waist and quickly slashed at Zhang Bao's neck, Zhang Bao didn't have time to guard at all, and one head rolled to the ground.
Blood sprayed Cao Cao's face with blood in his neck.
The audience was shocked!
"Although you are a soldier of the Eight Passes, but at this moment it is under the jurisdiction of my Cao Cao, my Cao Cao's words are military orders, and if I Cao Cao says that you must not disturb the people, you must not disturb the people. The sky is falling, and I Cao Cao is on top. The sword was sheathed, and Cao Cao's eyes were like lightning, looking at the soldiers around him.
When their eyes touched, they all lowered their heads.
"We're just robbing the families of the Yellow Turbans, and if the lieutenant kills the deputy general of the first battalion without saying a word, wouldn't it chill the soldiers!" Zuo Jun Sima took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
The deputy general Zhang Bao is a fellow villager with him, even if Cao Cao is aggressive, he will fight for Zhang Bao.
"Haha, that makes sense." Cao Cao smiled again and slowly walked in front of Zuojun Sima.
Zuojun Sima wanted to draw his sword, but Cao Cao quickly held down his arm, so he couldn't use his strength, and he stared at Zuojun Sima.
"How do you distinguish between the families of the Yellow Turbans and the common people?" Cao Cao asked Zuojun Sima.
Zuojun Sima was speechless, on the one hand, because of Cao Cao's prestige, and on the other hand, because of the loss.
Cao Cao let go of Zuojun Sima's arm, slowly retreated, and ordered the guards: "Come on, hang Zhang Bao's head on the big silk."
Cao Cao's 4,000 infantry all entered the city, and the looters were more than 1,000. But Cao Cao couldn't kill them all, and even if Zuojun Sima confronted him just now, he couldn't kill them.
The shot was enough to shoot the first bird, which not only established its own prestige, but also deterred the soldiers.
There is a degree of advance and retreat, this is Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's own soldiers hung Zhang Bao's head on the big coffin, and many people exclaimed. But the people didn't realize that they didn't know Zhang Bao and didn't know what his official position was.
Liu Fan ignored the situation on Cao Cao's side, but set up a large cauldron at the front, the fire below was vigorous, and the hot water in the pot was boiling.
And the soldiers kneeling in front of the army were trembling, could it be that Captain Tiger was going to cook them?
