Chapter Eighty-Four: Liu Yuan Goes South

Guan Hai fled to a distance, saw that the sky was red, and in anger, he and Liao Hua rushed to Lunu overnight to find Zhang Bao, the general of the Digong, and vowed to avenge this deep hatred. And Huang Chang thinks about the truth of life, and he has been stuffed in the big tent for the past few days and never shows up.

What these two people did made the other group of people miserable.

It turned out that when Huang Chang set fire to the forest, he failed to burn one of the Yellow Turban soldiers in the forest to death!

It's not a miracle!

The Yellow Turban thief was originally hiding in the dense forest under the leadership of Liao Hua and others, but when he saw the fire burning the sky, the remaining Qu Shuai panicked and led tens of thousands of soldiers to escape to a wide and deep canyon, and escaped this catastrophe!

However, the surname is only temporary. Just when the yellow turbans were so happy that they shouted that the sky would not stop me, they found that there was not enough food and grass.

Such barren mountains and mountains, such an army, at such a time, is simply called the heavens and the earth.

What to do? Could it be that this group of tens of thousands of people is going to starve to death in this canyon?

Several Qu Shuai hurriedly got together and thought of a way.

As the saying goes, three stinkers are the best of Zhuge Liang, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it cannot be said that it is unreasonable. After some discussion, they made up their minds, and while sending people to find a way out, they cut down on food and clothing, sent people to search for wild things in the mountains, used them as food and grass, and appeased the soldiers and the old and weak women and children who were holding them hostage, and it was also done in an orderly manner.

Not to mention that Huangchang's army was stationed and didn't move, nor did it say that Guan Hai and Liao Hua went to Lunu to cry for help after escaping with their surname, and that the situation of the entire Han Dynasty was messy, and even worse, it can be said that it was extremely erosive.

On the battlefield of Yingchuan, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song lost one after another, and were defeated by the hands of the Yellow Turban Bocai. Nanyang fell, Taishou Chu Gong was killed by Zhang Mancheng, and only Huang Zhong, the captain of the city gate, led a group of more than 1,000 people to escape for their lives. Lu Zhi won the first battle, broke tens of thousands of Zhangjiao's Yellow Turban Army, and drove Zhangjiao out of Wei County and occupied Ye County. However, Lu Zhi had few soldiers, and Yu Ye County withstood the counterattack of Zhang Jiao's army for more than ten days, and under the heavy losses, he had to withdraw from Ye County and defend Anyang.

Another general, Zhang Liang, broke Cangting and Changyi, and approached Zhu Jun; Zhang Jiao's disciple Chu Yan, broke the party, according to Huguan, forced the Yellow River, coerced Luoyang and other large and small Yellow Turban forces, which were rampant, making the Han Court anxious.

Emperor Ling was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that such a chess piece as the Yellow Turban would be so powerful and in danger of backlash. He hurriedly asked He Jin to lead the army to guard the Yellow River crossing north of Luoyang, and issued an order to order Lu Zhi and others to break the Yellow Turban as soon as possible.

But the facts in front of them prove that Lu Zhi and others can only protect themselves, and they can't talk about exterminating the yellow scarves at all. Because the number of yellow turbans is too huge! By this time, it had exceeded two million!

The emperor was in a hurry, and so were the ministers.

Yuan Kui, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and other important ministers hurriedly notified their respective families to raise troops to assist the imperial army in exterminating the Yellow Turbans, while cultivating their own forces even more rampantly. Because, they all thought that Hanting was about to fall!

At this time, a letter flew from Luoyang Palace to Youzhou.

When Liu Yuan received the secret order, it was already late at night a few days later.

After carefully reading the secret decree, Liu Yuan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered all his subordinates to discuss the matter of sending troops.

"The secret decree of the Son of Heaven is to let Benhou lead the army to clear the Yellow Turban in Jizhou as soon as possible, and go south to defend Luoyang and defend the Han Dynasty." Liu Yuan was very majestic, glanced at Guo Jia and the others, and said, "If you have any opinions, you can tell me in detail." ”

Guo Jia glanced at Tian Feng and the others, pondered for a moment, and said, "This time I went south, but the lord went in person?" ”

"Not bad." Liu Yuan nodded.

"So what does the lord want?"

"The result?" Liu Yuan smiled and said in high spirits: "Naturally, it is a good result." Yellow turban captives, official titles, and this marquis all wants. ”

"But" Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "How many people does the lord prepare?" ”

"One hundred thousand!"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and it was inappropriate.

"Why?" Liu Yuanqi said: "It's the time for me to grow in Youzhou, why don't you do your best?" ”

At this time, Chen Qun was also stunned, he glanced at Guo Jia, and agreed: "Lord, I also agree with the words of filial piety, 100,000 is inappropriate!" ”

Tian Feng is naturally not a stupid person, and he is also opposed at the same time.

"That" Liu Yuan frowned and said, "Let's talk carefully." ”

"My lord, if my 100,000 troops in Youzhou go south, the Yellow Turban Army will be 2 million together, and we will have nothing to fear, let alone a plate of scattered sand? According to the meaning of the lord, this 100,000 army is not like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, passing all the way, and the yellow turban is wiped out? ”

Liu Yuan nodded.

"But has the lord thought about it, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Yuan Kui, He Jin and even the Son of Heaven have no way to take the yellow scarf, and they are exterminated by the lord like this, what will they think?"

"They will think that the lord is more vicious than the yellow scarf! More worth treating! ”

"At that time, the lord was openly and secretly the enemy of the world. Although Youzhou is strong, I'm afraid it's not the opponent of the whole world, right? ”

Liu Yuan nodded involuntarily.

"Therefore, I think that the lord only needs to lead one or two hundred thousand elites, and cooperate with the army brought out by General Huang before, and cooperate with Lu Zhi and others, to slowly exterminate the Yellow Turban, without making too much of a show, and without leaving a name."

"But the longer the time drags on, the more miserable the people become, how can you bear it for me?"

The unbearable look on Liu Yuan's face flashed and disappeared.

"What the lord means, how can we not understand?" Guo Jia sighed and said: "Everyone knows that the lord is merciful, but, lord, temporary kindness can't solve the problem, and being able to afford it and let it go is the true character of a hero." ”

"Not bad!" Frustration also said: "The world is so corrupt, I think that only the lord has the ability to turn the tide and return the people to a peaceful world, so please ask the lord to plan for the life of the world, don't be impulsive, and ruin the future." ”

Liu Yuan was speechless.

In the end, Liu Yuan still agreed with Guo Jia and others, only brought 10,000 troops, and left Yuyang early the next morning and rushed to Jizhou.

Of the 10,000 troops, in addition to the 2,000 guards led by Dian Wei, the remaining 8,000 had 4,000 crossbowmen and 4,000 light infantry. Because Huangchang is full of cavalry, this time he only needs to step the bow and complement it.

Three days later, Liu Yuan's army marched quickly and caught up with Huangchang who was about to march in Wangdu.

"How's it going?"

Liu Yuan has always been concise and clear in asking questions.

Huang Chang hugged his fists and said, "It's okay, hehe." A few days ago, the First World War annihilated tens of thousands of troops of the Yellow Turbans"

"It's more than that, isn't it?" Liu Yuan glanced at Huang Chang and said, "I heard that someone was calculated and escaped from the captive, hiss, who is that?" ”

"Uh" Huang Chang's face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Liu Yuan shook his head, put aside the topic, and said, "After the Xishan fire, did Justice send someone to search?" ”

"Search?" Huang Chang shook his head and said, "That fire has already burned them to ashes, there's no need, right?" ”

"Not necessary?" Liu Yuan was angry: "What should you do if you don't burn to death, let this group of people hide and sneak attack behind us?" ”

"Huh? No way? Huang Chang was dumbfounded, he didn't think about this question in detail. I just feel that as long as the yellow scarf does not have wings, it will definitely die. But after listening to Liu Yuan's words, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be too careless.

Liu Yuan glanced at him speechlessly and shook his head. It seems that this Huang Chang has still not become a real leading general, and he still needs to be honed.

"It's not too late at this time, justice immediately ordered, search the dense forest, and the army will leave tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

In the tent, Huang Chang sat upright dejectedly, and Liu Yuan was talking like a river, explaining endlessly. Explain the omissions and flaws of Huang Chang along the way, as well as the way to make up for it. You must know that Liu Yuan is also an authentic descendant of the ancient soldiers, and his skills are not only about training, but also about the key points of marching and fighting, all of which are hidden in his heart. What's more, he is still a person who travels through the future, and he is also familiar with some modern tactics.

was refuting Huang Chang's body, and suddenly there were soldiers outside the tent to report. Liu Yuan stopped in his mouth, and Huang Chang was stunned.

"Come in."

As soon as the words fell, a soldier lifted the tent and respectfully reported:

"Lord Qiqi, the search team has found the Yellow Turban Army in the dense forest!"

"What?!"

Huang Chang stood up, suddenly glanced at Liu Yuan, who was quiet, and hurriedly smiled and sat down.

"Be detailed."

"The Yellow Turban army was about forty or fifty thousand men, and all of them were cowering in a deep canyon. Before the search team found the Yellow Turbans, they also annihilated several Yellow Turban teams, presumably hunting or wayfinding Yellow Turbans. ”

"Hmm" Liu Yuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Huang Chang: "Righteousness thinks, what should I do about this matter?" ”

Huang Chang cautiously glanced at Liu Yuan, thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "Since it hit the blade, naturally I can't let it go, I thought that I would immediately send someone to exterminate these yellow scarves." ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." Remember, it's not extermination, it's surrender! As he spoke, a trace of wisdom flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes: "That Guan Hai and Zhou Cang are still of some use, and this wave of Yellow Turban Army is its nemesis!" I'm of great use! ”

Huang Chang was stunned, hurriedly took the order, and went out to work.

At night, Huang Chang returned.

With the return of the army, there were more than 50,000 hungry and dizzy remnants of yellow turbans and old and weak women and children.

Liu Yuan immediately arranged for them to have a full meal, and made an amiable appearance, and found out Guan Hai's family and Liao Hua's cronies from them.

Early the next morning, Liu Yuan immediately asked the logistics army to send the more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and the old and weak who were captured by Huang Chang to Youzhou, and he led the army and went straight to Lunu.

Lunu, county office.

Zhang Bao set up a banquet and was enlightening Guan Hai and Liao Hua, who were depressed.

"Guan Hai, you are the number one general of my Taiping Sect, although you have suffered some setbacks, you don't have to be so decadent. This revenge, General Ben will definitely avenge you, don't worry! ”

Listening to Zhang Bao's words, Guan Hai pouted silently, and he was very disapproving.

Although Zhang Bao commanded an army of two or three hundred thousand, in Guan Hai's opinion, they were all rabble, and their combat power was not as good as his own army. When he first arrived in Lunu, Guan Hai saw Zhang Bao's army and almost despaired.

Even if such an army is doubled, it will not be able to take revenge!

Although it may not necessarily be defeated, where can it stop the wolf-like Youzhou Iron Horse?

So in the past few days, Guan Hai has actually extinguished his desire for revenge, and every time he borrows wine to drown his sorrows, he is immersed in grief.

Not only Guan Hai, but also Liao Hua.

Seeing that Guan Hai was silent, Zhang Bao thought that his words had touched his heart, so he couldn't help but laugh and motioned for everyone to raise their glasses to eat and drink.

Looking at these colleagues who were full of oil, drunk, and drunk, Guan Hai and Liao Hua glanced at each other, and the compassion in their eyes flashed. When they were happy here, they didn't know that Youzhou's big knife was about to descend on their heads.

"Digong General" Liao Hua really couldn't help it, and said: "The Youzhou army is very powerful, and it will definitely approach Lu Nu at this time, please prepare the general early!" ”

Zhang Bao glanced at Liao Hua unhappily, and said: "There are countless generals under the command of this general, and there are enough soldiers, but there are only more than 10,000 people in Youzhou, which are cast in iron, and how many nails can be hit?" Your defeat was caused by carelessness, and the general now knows it, what are you still noisy? ”

Guan Hai and the two glanced at each other and stopped talking.
