Li Zhen saw Liu Yu looking at him with a smile, and he didn't understand that he was making excuses for himself and blocking the mouths of people in the world. Whether Liu Yu is worried that Guangyang's Yellow Turban Army is close to Youzhou, or this cheap uncle loves his fists, Li Zhen is very appreciative. Bringing troops here by himself is to recruit yellow scarves and earn military exploits, which is not in line with his own thoughts.

Li Zhen said happily: "Thank you, my lord, I didn't obey the order." ”

Liu Yu said with a straight face: "Don't be happy too early, if you can't complete the task, I will add two crimes, and you will be to blame." ”

"No."

The Sucheng battalion now captured more than 17,000 Yellow Turban troops, and the men and horses brought by Li Zhen himself and Liu Yu's soldiers and horses were combined to strictly control these Yellow Turbans. Li Zhen knew that the soldiers were fast, so he resigned from the camp where Liu Yu came.

According to statistics after the Battle of Sucheng, more than 300 soldiers were killed and wounded, and very few were killed in direct battle, most of them were slandered and could not go to the battlefield again. The Yellow Turban Army lost more than 2,000 casualties this time, more than 3,600 were wounded, and more than 17,000 were captured, and the rest fled in the night.

Li Zhen came to the prisoner camp with a black face, stood on a high platform, and looked at these prisoners, among whom more than 9,000 were young and strong, and the rest were all old and weak women and children. These Yellow Turban soldiers were poor people, but they couldn't eat and were bewitched by others, so they did this kind of lifeless thing, and after participating in the Yellow Turbans, they couldn't eat a full meal for three days, and they were hungry almost every day.

Li Zhen shouted expressionlessly: "You people should have been killed, but for the sake of your ignorance and bewitchment, this general specially asks your lord to forgive you once." Although the death penalty has been spared, the living crime cannot be escaped, and all of you will be taken to Liaoxi to be controlled. Whoever dares to commit adultery again in the future, this general will never forgive. Li Zhen drew his long sword and slashed at the wooden stake on the high platform, and the wooden stake clicked and became two halves.

The captives below thought that they would be doomed this time, but they didn't expect to escape with their lives, so they were just exiled to Liaoxi, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Thank you for not killing." ”

Li Zhen then assured them that after arriving in Liaoxi, each person would have five acres of land, all tax-free for the first two years, and the government would also provide ploughing cattle and other farm tools, so that everyone would be fed every day and no longer suffer from hunger. These words made these yellow turbans unbelievable, they felt like a dream, their lives in the past two days had changed like a drama, they were still fighting a battle last night, and now they are being arrested and waiting for their fate, who knew that there were such good conditions now, which was unimaginable before.

Li Zhen asked these prisoners to take good care of them, and asked them to cook a good meal for them, and he returned to the camp to consider the plan of this march in Guangyang, now his own strength is less than 3,000, and in the face of the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, this is simply impossible to win. But I made a promise that no matter how difficult it is, I will try it, and no matter how hard my bones are, I will gnaw a scar out.

········” My lord, oh no, there are yellow scarves around the big tent outside. A soldier panicked and entered the tent.

"What? What did you say. Li Zhen stood up and shouted.

The soldier looked up and said, "Outside the tent are all Yellow Turban Army. ”

Li Zhen hurriedly went out of the tent, lifted the curtain and saw that there were yellow scarves kneeling on the ground outside, Li Zhen stepped forward to help an old man in his fifties. asked: "Uncle, why is this, please get up quickly." ”

The old man got up and said: "It is difficult to repay the grace of the adult to save his life, during the meal, I heard that the adult asked the Lord Thorn Shi to save us and others, but asked to encircle and suppress the traitors in Guangyang, and I came here to help the adult." ”

Li Zhen turned around and glared at Xiao Bing, saying something indistinct, making himself worry in vain. Li Zhen raised his hand and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly, how can Zhen He De be loved by everyone." ”

"My lord, please be sure to agree, otherwise you won't be able to kneel outside." The old man knelt down and said.

It turned out that when these prisoners were eating, they heard the soldiers on guard talk about Li Zhen's intercession for them, and heard that Li Zhen agreed to the request of the assassin to clear the Guangyang yellow scarves that were several times more than the army, and they all finished their meals with tears in their eyes and came to the camp tent, hoping to help Li Zhen. Now that there is hope for a happy life, no one wants Li Zhen to have an accident.

Li Zhenbao clenched his fists and said: "Everyone's kindness, I understand it, but you are not soldiers, you have never been to the battlefield, and you will die in vain. ”

"My lord, who has never been on the battlefield, we still fought against the adults last night, so why don't we count." One person in the crowd shouted.

"Yes, yes, if you don't agree today, we can't afford to kneel."

Li Zhen was moved to tears, these poor people don't understand anything, but they know best who is good to him, and they will repay him with their lives. The surrounding soldiers also put down their weapons and watched this scene with emotion.

Seeing everyone's firm eyes, Li Zhen shouted: "Now everyone listens to the order and runs around the camp for twenty laps." ”

When the captives heard Li Zhen's order, they all stood up one after another, although they didn't know why they wanted to run twenty laps, but they could hear Li Zhen's order, which was to recognize their own people, and they rushed to run actively.

·············

Huhu, there were more than six or seven thousand people standing in the draft, all of them were young strong men, Li Zhen shouted in front of people: "All of you are selected from the team, and you can all join the army in western Liaoning now, but I declare first, when you go to the army, you don't think about it, you have to do it in accordance with the discipline of the army, in addition to obedience or obedience, there will be people who will die on the battlefield in the future, who can't stand it can stand up now, I will still give it to you according to the conditions." “

None of the team came forward. "Okay, since you are all willing, then I will declare you a tiger camp, and everyone will be like a tiger, and go forward bravely." Li Zhen shouted ruddy in front of the people. These are their own armies, and this time is also the most recruited. Li Zhen pulled Zhang Jaw to train these people, Zhang Jaw is a careful person, strong in handling things, never take it lightly, is Li Zhen's most admired general, with him to train these people, Li Zhen believes that these people in Guangyang have a certain combat effectiveness.

After stopping in Sucheng for two days, Li Zhen arranged everything and asked Liu Yu to send people to escort these people to Liaoxi, and then he led people to Guangyang City.

Outside the city, Liu Yu and Li Zhen were on the side of the army, Liu Yu looked at these former yellow scarves, and now they have become Li Zhen's subordinates, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, now the soldiers are strong and strong, with these people, the old man believes that the good news of the virtuous nephew will come in a few days, I am here to congratulate the virtuous nephew on his victory." “

Li Zhen said modestly: "Uncle said that he laughed, these people have no combat effectiveness at all now, and I am afraid that going to the battlefield will only drag down the army." ”

"Haha, if you have such considerations, the old man will rest assured, I thought you were confused by the momentum in front of you, and forgot the foundation of the army, these people have become an army, they can only fight a good battle, and they need to hone and hone more to fight a tough battle, today I came here to see you off, and the second is to add some manpower to you, more than 2,000 people behind me are now under your control, I hope to help you." Liu Yu said.

"Uncle, how can this be done, now that Suxian has just experienced a siege, it is the time when people are needed, what should you do with Suxian for me?" Li Zhenda said urgently.

"Hehe, don't worry, the counties will send troops in a few days, you just have to rest assured to go and kill the enemy, and you have reported the emperor's favor." Liu Yu patted Li Zhen's hand and said in a long tone.

Li Zhen looked at Liu Yu No matter what his purpose was, for his Liu family, or for the people, but he really had nothing to say to himself, this was the first elder of his own Han Dynasty to care so much about himself, and he would report it in the future, Li Zhen thought about it and said, "Uncle, I'll go first." ”

Drive, and march with the army to Guangyang.
