Chapter 20: Liu Picks Up Leaks

When he was not the boss, he wanted to be the boss, but when he became the boss, Yang Feng realized the difficulties of being the boss. Because it was a sudden attack, with a deliberate calculation or no intention, except for Zhang Baiqi who was injured and captured, Guo Tai, Li Le, Hu Cai and others, like Yang Feng, who usually don't like their eyes, were all killed.

But the next thing was beyond Yang Feng's expectations, according to Yang Feng's thoughts, as soon as Mrs. Guo, Li Le and others died, their parts could be owned by themselves, but I didn't expect those people to be so desperate for Mrs. Guo and others, none of the cronies he sent to take over the people came back alive, not to mention, Mrs. Guo and the others also took the opportunity to escape from the camp.

The Bai Bo army is known as 100,000 to the outside world, but among these 100,000 people, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 real young people, and the rest are old and weak women and children, and after Yang Feng's infighting, there are more than 10,000 people left in the Bai Bo army, and the difference between the number of officials and soldiers is several thousand, this result makes Yang Feng understand that he has no chance to defeat the official army and save his relatives at this time.

It was not the opponent of the official army, and now the number of men and horses is almost in half, although he has the final say in the Bai Bo army at the moment, but this situation is not as good as listening to Zhang Bai at the beginning. If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, more than 10,000 people eat, drink and Lazar are all pressed on Yang Feng's body at this time, and what makes Yang Feng feel even more uneasy is that because of the actions of the officials and soldiers to relocate the people, the mood of the Bai Bo army during this time is much more impetuous.

In this case, Yang Feng did not go to discuss with Han Xian, the accomplice of the internal strife, he knew that Han Xian's plan was to return to Hebei with his men and horses, but he, Yang Feng, had already had enough of the life of the king of the mountain, and he wanted to take refuge in the imperial court. However, the imperial court did not necessarily accept these thieves, and originally he hoped to show his strength to the imperial court by defeating the official army. But things didn't let him get his wish, after all, being recruited by the imperial court and surrendering to the imperial court are two different things, although they both surrendered, but the treatment they received was completely different.

Since his confidant Xu Huang was ordered to be locked up by himself because he opposed his anti-water, Yang Feng couldn't find anyone who could talk to him for a while, and those cronies around him were no problem to fight or pat on the back, but it would be almost impossible for them to give Yang Feng advice.

Yang Fengxin, who was in a depressed mood, walked out of the tent, planning to walk around and relax, by the way, to see how low the morale of the army was at this time. Unexpectedly, before he could go far, he saw Han Xian running over with someone in a hurry. After seeing Yang Feng, he didn't say a word, and pulled Yang Feng into the tent, and before Yang Feng opened his mouth to ask, Han Xian took the initiative to say: "Dashuai, it's not good, those traitors who escaped from the camp earlier have already taken refuge in the official army, and they are rushing to us with the official army at this time." ”

"What!" Yang Feng was shocked when he heard this, the biggest reliance on the fact that the Bai Bo Army was able to deal with the official army, was the familiarity with the terrain of this place, unless the Bai Bo Army took the initiative to appear, it would be difficult for the officers and soldiers to find the traces of the Bai Bo Army. But now with those traitors acting as guides for the official army, the Bai Bo Army's already small advantage is immediately missing another one.

"Dashuai, my people have found the traces of the official army, time is pressing, please make a decision quickly." Seeing that Yang Feng still hadn't given the order, Han Xian hurriedly urged.

"Yes, yes, decisive...... Quick, gather the team, and get out of here first. Yang Feng was already a little panicked, and he didn't think of summoning people and horses to fight a decisive battle with the official army, but just wanted to escape from a distance first.

Hearing Yang Feng's order, Han Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that Yang Feng would order him to fight to the death with the official army, which would not only be unpredictable, but also once he lost too many men and horses, it would be difficult for him to occupy a place among the Black Mountain heroes when he returned to Hebei in the future, after all, the more people and horses in his hands, the more powerful his words would be. Now that Yang Feng's order was in line with Han Xian's wishes, he did not hesitate at the moment, and the two gathered their respective men and horses separately and left the camp in a hurry.

That is, not long after the two left, the official army arrived, looking at the empty camp, Liu Xie stopped Lu Bu, who wanted to lead the troops to chase and kill, and only sent elite scouts to find out the whereabouts of those white wave thieves, and he took Lu Bu and others into the camp.

Seeing the debris scattered everywhere in the camp, Liu Xie knew that Yang Feng, the white wave thief, was in a hurry, although he didn't see anything valuable, but Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a little more confident in exterminating this white wave thief. I'm afraid that the white wave thieves will be grouped, and it will be a lot more difficult to deal with them, but now God has opened his eyes, and there has been internal strife among the white wave thieves, first of all, the number of white wave thieves who have come out of the mountains to surrender to the official army has increased, and secondly, from the mouths of those who have surrendered, I know about the major event of the white wave thief's infighting.

Yang Feng was in charge, and the original Guo Tai, Hu Cai, and Li Le were all killed, which was great news for the officials and soldiers. Dealing with the white wave thieves as soon as possible can give the imperial court more energy to deal with Li and Guo Yan in Longxi County, after all, the Xiliang army under the command of these two people is like a sword hanging over the head of the current imperial court, and I don't know when it will fall. In case these two people suddenly get into trouble when they clean up the white wave thieves in the imperial court, then all Liu Xie can do is to escape from Chang'an, and most of the previous efforts will be put to waste.

"Holy Lord, why didn't you let Bu lead the troops to pursue?" After entering the handsome tent, Lu Bu finally couldn't hold back and asked the question in his heart.

"It's just a few thieves, why bother Wen Hou to go out in person, and the poor Kou Mo chases, the chase is tight, it is difficult to ensure that Yang Feng's group of people and dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry and made a move to fight for their lives. Now that we have won most of the games, Wen Hou doesn't want his own horses to lose too much at this time, right? Liu Xie explained to Lu Bu with a smile.

“…… What the Holy One said is reasonable, so what are we going to do next? Lu Bu thought about it, nodded in approval of Liu Xie's explanation, and asked again.

"Didn't we capture three hundred white wave thieves before? Now it's time to do something with them. Liu Xie replied with a smile.

Liu Xie's thoughts are easy to understand, the purpose of his trip is to accommodate as many white wave thieves as possible, and now except for the more than 10,000 white wave thieves who were taken away by Yang Feng and Han Xian, the rest of the white wave thieves basically fell into Liu Xie's hands. Guo Tai, Li Le and others, those ordinary thieves out of the consideration of not wanting to be separated from their families, after escaping from the camp, they turned to surrender to the official army, but for the sake of safety, these people did not all run to surrender, but first sent people to test the attitude of the official army towards the surrendered soldiers, after seeing that the official army did not wantonly kill prisoners, these people walked out of the mountains and forests one after another.

Originally, these people were mentally prepared to be punished by the imperial court, thinking that as long as they had their families by their side, they would grit their teeth and get through it. Unexpectedly, the imperial court not only did not punish them this time, but wanted to re-register them and distribute land. Although the land tax that these thieves want to call is 15 taxes and 1, which cannot be compared with the 30 taxes of ordinary people, but this omits the link of landlords, which means that the grain that can really fall into the hands of these people does not decrease but increases. Moreover, the imperial court may have promised that as long as they cultivate with peace of mind for twenty years, the land they cultivate can belong to them. I think why I rebelled with the Yellow Turban in the first place, it was not because I couldn't go on, but now that I have the opportunity to be a good citizen, most people are grateful to the court. And the next actions of the official army also made these white wave thieves feel at ease, except for handing over their blades, the imperial court did not prevent these people from reuniting with their families. Under the escort of the officials and soldiers, most of the people who were worried about going there also packed their bags with their families and went to a new place to settle down.

The three hundred white wave thief captives who were left behind by Liu Xie's order have been released at this time, and more than 10,000 young people are really a pity to let them go in vain. And Liu Xie's task for these 300 captives is to bring back as many of the more than 10,000 young people as possible. As for Yang Feng and Han Xian, let's leave if you want to, Liu Xie is really not too rare, after all, Yang Feng and Han Xian left a big gift for Liu Xie when they left.

"Gentle and slow, I have one more thing to tell you." Liu Xie saw that Lu Bu was going out, so he hurriedly stopped.

"What does the Holy One command?"

"I didn't have an order, but I have something to tell you, someone just came to report that Zhang Baiqi and Xu Huang were found in this camp, I want to know what Wen Hou's opinion on how to deal with these two?" Liu Xie was really a little nervous when he said this, and after speaking, he stared at Lu Bu and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile and asked, "The Holy Lord wants that Xu Huang?" ”

"Hey...... I really want something, but I don't know if Wen Hou is willing to cut his love? Liu Xie didn't deny it, nodded and looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Hmm...... Can you let Bu try that Xu Huang's martial arts first? ”

"This, Wen Hou, it's not that I want to ruin your interest, then Xu Huang is injured now, even if Wen Hou wins, I'm afraid he will be said to be invincible."

"Well, forget it. Since the saint wants that Xu Huang, Nabu naturally will not have an opinion. But that white horse, I don't know what the saint has planned? ”

"This Zhang Baiqi was not lightly injured in the previous infighting, if Wen Hou wants it, then leave it to you to deal with." Liu Xiecai didn't want to care about Zhang Baiqi's life or death, this guy was not only the leader of the bandits, but also a strong-willed thief, and keeping him would easily become a scourge in the future. The people all have a herd mentality, and this white horse is precisely the one who can play the role of a leader.

Lu Bu, who understood the meaning of Liu Xie's words, nodded, and withdrew from the tent after clasping his fists. And after Liu Xie got Lu Bu's promise, he immediately ran to the camp where Xu Huang was placed. Yang Feng decided to turn against the water that day, Xu Huang was not in the camp at the time, and when he led the men and horses back, the overall situation was decided. Yang Feng originally thought that Xu Huang was his confidant and would definitely support him, but he didn't expect Xu Huang to be questioned in public and make him unable to get off the stage. In annoyance and anger, Yang Feng and Xu Huang had a big fight, and Yang Feng was not Xu Huang's opponent in terms of martial arts, but with the addition of Han Xian, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, the outcome of the matter would be different. If Yang Feng didn't want Xu Huang to die, maybe Liu Xie wouldn't have picked up Xu Huang's leak today.

"Komeito, are you feeling better?" Liu Xie greeted with a smile when he entered the tent.

For Liu Xie, who was familiar with him, Xu Huang ignored him a little, closed his eyes, and lay on the couch without saying a word. Liu Xie didn't see anything outside, walked close and sat on the edge of the couch, and said to himself: "I have already discussed with Wen Hou just now, and Wen Hou promised to give you to me, from now on, you will be my person......

Hearing this, Xu Huang couldn't help but open his eyes and interrupted Liu Xie's words: "Who are you?" Why do you think I'm going to vote for you? ”

"Huh? You don't vote for me? Is it possible that you still want to continue to be a thief? Gongming, there is no future for being a thief, don't look at Yang Feng and Han Xian running away now, but in the future, they will definitely not end well. And you don't want to die in the future with a reputation as a thief. ”

“…… Could it be that if you vote, you can wash away the notoriety of being a thief? Xu Huang looked at Liu Xie with some disbelief and asked.

"Hey...... Don't say it, there is really no one else in this world who can forgive you except me. ”

“…… You're not going to be what you are today, are you? Hearing the word pardon and looking at Liu Xie's age, Xu Huang's heart moved, and he asked uncertainly.

"Oops~ see it? Gongming, you really didn't disappoint me. Liu Xie replied with some surprise.

Hearing Liu Xie's admission, Xu Huang was startled at first, then calmed down again, and asked Liu Xie: "Holy Lord, why do you value Xu Huang?" Xu Huang is just a thief......"

"Hey~ Heroes don't ask about their origins, there are also heroes among the thieves. I have asked someone to find out about your matter before, since you have a clear conscience and do not want to be in the same boat with Yang Feng and others, it means that you have a value worthy of my risk. Gongming, I only ask you, are you willing to serve the imperial court, help me revitalize the Han family, and restore peace to the people of the world. ”

Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, Xu Huang was stunned, then struggled to get up and got off the ground, knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Xie, clasped his fists and saluted: "Xu Huang is foolish, the lord will not give up the collection, and he is willing to serve the power of dogs and horses in the future." ”

The greatest advantage of the Son of Heaven compared with the princes is probably the righteousness. As the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie is a few chips higher than the princes such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, just in terms of recruiting talents. After all, if the name is not right, it is not good, Liu Xie has the right to confer knighthood, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can also do it, but their titles have not been officially recognized. Unlike Liu Xie, who represents the imperial court and is the official of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie's reward is a reward that can be recognized by the people of the world, and the reward of Yuan Shao and other princes, others want to recognize it, and if they don't want to recognize it, they don't recognize it.

Compared with the literati, dealing with martial artists made Liu Xie feel more relaxed. Literati are always accustomed to considering one thing as comprehensively as possible, while most martial artists are willing to follow it with all their hearts as long as they have a temper. Xu Huang's willingness to serve Liu Xie is not entirely because of Liu Xie, but because the orthodoxy represented by Liu Xie behind him plays a great role. It's not just Xu Huang, people like Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong were willing to serve Liu Xie at the beginning, not because of the aura of orthodoxy. As for whether they can be made to recognize Liu Xie as the main father in the future, it still needs Liu Xie's own efforts.

So far, Liu Xie has done a good job, he did not directly use money and official positions to win over Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, but chose to make friends with his heart. By treating Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun well, he can gain the favor of these generals. Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu and the placement of Dian Wei's brother's family are all like this. As for Huang Zhong's heart disease, it won't be a problem when he arrives at Liu Xie.

Huang Zhong's heart disease is actually not difficult to guess, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Huang Zhong also had a son in the past, but unfortunately he died of a strange disease. According to Huang Zhong's age at the time, it was not impossible to have another one, but there were no heirs from then on. But when it comes to Liu Xie, it's not a problem, the imperial doctors in the palace are not dry food, and most of the imperial doctors in this palace are proficient in internal medicine.

After Huang Zhong met with Liu Xie, Liu Xie sent six imperial doctors to do a consultation for Huang Zhong and his wife, and when Huang Zhong went to Hanzhong to take office, Liu Xie sent two imperial doctors to accompany him, the purpose was to relieve Huang Zhong of this heart disease that could not be shared with outsiders.

It was also through this act of caring for his subordinates that Liu Xie gained Huang Zhong's loyalty. Originally, Huang Zhong agreed to Fa Yan's solicitation just because he didn't want his skills to be buried in Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that after he arrived in Chang'an, he hadn't made any contributions, and the Son of Heaven would first help him get rid of the regrets left in his heart for a long time.

There are Xun Yu and Huang Zhong in Han, Liu Xie doesn't need to worry, Tianshui County has Fa Yan and Zhao Yun, and Liu Xie also doesn't need to worry, as for Chang'an, Liu Xie was originally a little worried that Dian Wei alone was a little weak, but now that he has received Xu Huang, this worry has disappeared.

Dian Wei's martial arts are outstanding, but he doesn't know much about military training, but Xu Huang is different, as Yang Feng's former confidant, leading soldiers is no stranger to him. With him as Dian Wei's deputy, Liu Xie can rest assured that one of the eight schools in the West Park that Liu Xie won for Dian Wei before. It's just that Xu Huang is a little wronged in this way, according to Xu Huang's ability, he can lead a school alone, but now he can only serve as Dian Wei's deputy.

Xu Huang didn't care about this, but comforted Liu Xie and said: "The lord doesn't have to make trouble for this, Huang doesn't feel wronged, after all, Huang has a bad background and is difficult to convince the public." ”

"Gongming don't take it lightly, I also said it just now, heroes don't ask about their background, with Gongming's ability, it is definitely more than enough to lead an army alone, but at the moment I ...... here"

"To be able to win this praise from the lord, Huang is already content. The lord can rest assured, and he will assist the captain in the future, and strive to train a combatable soldier for the lord as soon as possible. Xu Huang hurriedly said when he heard this.

Liu Xie and Xu Huang were discussing the details that need to be paid attention to in future military training, and Gao Shun, who had been guarding outside the tent, walked in at this time and reported to Liu Xie: "Holy Lord, Wenhou sent someone to invite." ”

"Huh? Something went wrong? Liu Xie asked curiously.

"I don't know." Gao Shun shook his head and replied.

For Gao Shun, a stuffy gourd, Liu Xie can be regarded as a helpless person, and he can't beat a fart with three sticks. Seeing Gao Shun shaking his head, Liu Xie also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so after turning around and telling Xu Huang to recuperate from his injuries, he walked out of the camp first.
