Chapter 65: Alliances

Looking at the Yellow Turban Army, which was quickly defeated, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the battle just now was extremely dangerous, if it wasn't for showing Tai Shici's strength, he wouldn't have done such a risky thing.

"However," Liu Yu muttered: "This siege method is also good, but next time we should help the war horses put on heavy armor, and the weapons should be replaced with weapons that are easy to break through the city gates, such as heavy hammers, so that small cities like Gaomi can be broken even with cavalry, as long as the guards are not those celebrities." ”

"Congratulations to Master Hou, with this battle, Lord Hou is enough to leave a name in history." At this time, Tai Shici, who did not participate in the siege, came on horseback and said with a smile.

"It's just a fluke." Liu Yu replied.

Looking at the silent Tai Shici, Liu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, what he said just now was indeed his heart, the previous siege could be said to be extremely dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that there were no famous generals in the Yellow Turban Army, plus Gaomi was not considered a county governor, and he lost his mind when he saw Guan Hai die, he would definitely return in vain this siege.

Moreover, with a super-first-class general like Zhang Fei, let him attack the city, this has to be said to be a waste, and it is also very dangerous, you must know that this kind of attack under the full charge of its anti-shock force is very terrifying, even with Zhang Fei's force, there is only one blow, if the other party reacts fast enough, then Zhang Fei will be in danger of death.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Liu Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Fei, who was skillfully commanding Yan Yunjing to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in front of him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and talked with Tai Shici, of course, in the conversation, he also vaguely mentioned a few words about his own solicitation, but unfortunately, Tai Shici didn't seem to hear it, so when he was helpless, he had to sigh that this kind of hero was really not so easy to recruit.

At the moment, Liu Yu saw that he couldn't be recruited, and he also knew that he was not qualified to let Tai Shici work, so he dispelled the little abacus in his heart, and the two stood in place to talk without going anywhere else.

After an hour, Zhang Fei came back to report: "Big brother, the Yellow Turban in the city has been breached, but because this Gaomi is the base camp of the Yellow Turban, in addition to the 10,000 elites, there are nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban women and children gathered together, and I can't make up my mind about these people, so I just let the brothers guard and didn't make a move." ”

Tai Shi Ci beside him heard this, the light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Liu Yu tightly, of course he heard Liu Yu's solicitation, but he couldn't make a hasty decision about this matter related to his future, but whether it was rumors or this moment of getting along, he had a good impression of Liu Yu, and unconsciously began to investigate Liu Yu.

"Although these yellow scarves believe in the Taiping Dao, they are not at fault, and they are forced to follow the uprising, so they don't have to take action against them, first look at the suppression, and then after eliminating the thieves among them, let them go back to the township." Hearing this, Liu Yu replied without thinking, but he didn't know that his unhesitating words added another part of Tai Shici's favor to him.

After a deep groan, Liu Yu said awe-inspiringly: "Yide, you leave one thousand Yanyun Jing cavalry, and then lead the remaining two thousand soldiers and horses to go to Donglai to sweep the yellow turban where the righteous brother is." ”

"Nope." Zhang Fei changed color and said: "The remnants of the yellow scarf in the city are not settled, how can I only leave a thousand Yan Yunjing to ride for my eldest brother, if something goes wrong, what face will I have to be born in the world." ”

"Not bad." Tai Shici also echoed: "Brother Yide's words are true, there are more than 100,000 yellow turbans in the city, and if they are provoked by someone with a heart, it will definitely cause a big disaster. ”

"Needless to say, I already left a letter to Xu Rong and Zhicai when I left Xi County, and it is estimated that by noon, they should lead three thousand infantry to arrive, and four thousand soldiers and horses are enough to suppress the yellow turbans in the city." Liu Yu waved his hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei replied helplessly, and was about to turn around and leave after speaking.

"Wait a minute." Liu Yu thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "I was a little wrong with those yellow turbans before, although there are innocent people among them, but there are also a lot of thieves, leaving these thieves in Qingzhou is a hidden danger, if they are used by people with intentions, the yellow scarves in Qingzhou will resurgence again." ”

Speaking of which, Liu Yu thought of the millions of Qingzhou yellow turbans in history, if not managed, after he left, Qingzhou's gold would definitely resurge, just like in history.

And Zhang Fei and Tai Shici also frowned when they heard this, the two of them didn't think about it before, but now when they heard Liu Yu say this, the two of them also felt that it was inappropriate, but they didn't think of a good way for a while, and with the hearts and surnames of the two of them, they couldn't do the idea of slaughtering all the yellow scarves.

Looking at the two of them who were silent in thought, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh how good it would be if Xi Zhicai was at this time, but as soon as this idea came out, he suppressed it, it was one thing to take a fancy to Xi Zhicai's ability, if he relied too much, it would not be a good thing, and immediately lowered his head and thought about it.

After a while.

"In this way, after cleaning up the Gaomi Yellow Turban, I will send people to the counties and counties of Qingzhou to screen the Yellow Turbans that have been imprisoned, and unify the thieves and robbers to this Gaomi, and then sweep the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans together, so that they can be regarded as making up for their merits." Liu Yu said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Liu Yu had made a decision, and the two of them also thought that this idea was good, they immediately gave up and left, as for Donglai's yellow scarf, it was naturally made according to Liu Yu's decision just now.

Looking at the backs of the two, Liu Yu sighed, in fact, both he and Zhang Fei knew that this idea was good, but the difficulty of realizing this idea was the same. After all, although these people used to be thieves, but now they are also Yellow Turban soldiers, it is not so easy to make them turn against each other, and what makes him most entangled is that there are more than 100,000 gold in the entire Qingzhou, among which the thieves say that there are not much, and there are definitely a lot of less, anyway, at least tens of thousands, and this is what makes him helpless, after all, there are too many soldiers and horses to attract the suspicion of Luoyang, especially when this kind of uprising occurs.

"It looks like that plan is going to be implemented, and it can't be delayed any longer." Thinking of this, Liu Yu sighed.

After speaking, Liu Yu suppressed the thoughts in his heart and commanded the remaining Yan Yun Jingcai to suppress the sporadic rebellion in the city, and it was not until noon that Xu Rong and Xi Zhi arrived with three thousand soldiers and horses, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, to Liu Yu's surprise, Kong Rong actually struggled with a thousand soldiers and horses to come, and looking at the sophisticated equipment on these soldiers and horses, as well as the cold aura on their bodies, these thousand soldiers and horses were obviously the elite of the Kong family's private soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yu was overjoyed, and sighed in his heart that Kong Rong was a timely rain, but when he saw Xi Zhicai quietly signaling to him, he finally came back to his senses, Kong Rong was sent to the door by himself, and he was simply fooled by Xi Zhicai, which made him a little crying and laughing after thanking Kong Rong a moment ago.

With the arrival of 4,000 soldiers and horses, plus 1,000 Yanyun elite cavalry, a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses finally separated the 5,000 yellow turban women and children in the city, and by the time they were busy with all this, the sun had already set in the west

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the slightest breeze blows between the heavens and the earth, bringing a touch of coolness to the world.

Gaomi, the main hall of the Confucian family's courtyard, Liu Yu and Kong Rong sat opposite each other, the table in front of the two was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as a pot of sake, and two handsome maids stood beside the two of them to serve the two of them for dinner.

In this regard, Liu Yu enjoyed it with peace of mind in addition to sighing that this is the real life of a wealthy family, and after running around for a day, both of them were hungry, so they did not talk about it during the banquet, but buried their heads in eating, because on the formal occasion, Liu Yu finally found out the etiquette of the wealthy family buried in the depths of his memory, so he did not make jokes.

After the meal, the servant cleaned up the food in front of the two, leaving only a pot of sake and a wine glass, and then withdrew, leaving only the two of them to talk in the hall.

After half a decade of drinking, Liu Yu pretended to be casual and said: "Brother Wenju, it was inconvenient to be an official due to the disaster of the party ban in the past, but now the disaster of the party ban has been lifted, why not seek an official position with Brother Wenju's talent?" ”

Hearing this, Kong Rong's eyes flashed, he would have come here with this intention, otherwise he would not have been said by Xi Zhicai as soon as he brought a thousand private soldiers from his family to rush over, but since Liu Yu said it, it is obvious that the other party also has this intention, and he did not pretend to be confused at the moment, and immediately said: "I also have this intention below, I don't know what Brother Pengfei suggests?" ”

Liu Yu first put aside what he said to Zhang Fei in the morning, and then continued: "Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to hand over those thieves to Brother Wen Ju under the command, so that there should be 10,000 soldiers, which is enough to get promoted in this Yellow Turban Uprising." ”

This is Liu Yu's idea, with Kong Rong, a famous man in the world, on the one hand, he can reduce some of the disadvantages of having too many soldiers, on the other hand, it can also solve the problem of the yellow scarf, and finally, he can even use this to increase some soldiers and horses in his hands, and in this way, he can also get Kong Rong's favor, so why not do so many benefits.

Kong Rong was of course moved by Liu Yu's suggestion, but he still expressed the concerns in his heart: "I don't have any opinion on this, it's just that these thieves are all brave people, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to suppress them." ”

"It's not difficult, I know a general's talent, in two days I will introduce Brother Wen Ju, with this person, these more than 10,000 yellow scarves will definitely not set off any waves." Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu said solemnly.

"Ao, can be so respected by Brother Pengfei, I don't know who this person is?" Kong Rong said curiously.

"A native of Huangxian County, Donglai County, his surname is Taishi, his name is Ci, and his words are meaningful, this person has the courage of ten thousand people, and he can be described as a handsome talent." Liu Yu said in a deep voice.

Introducing Tai Shi Ci to Kong Rong is also Liu Yu's decision after careful consideration, and now Tai Shi Ci is unwilling to follow him, so he will recommend it to Kong Rong, and through his understanding of Kong Rong, Kong Rong is by no means the master, and Tai Shi Ci said, "The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements." The ambition of these words, as well as his surname of repaying kindness, he is ninety percent sure, Tai Shici was definitely the first person he wanted to take refuge in after discovering that Kong Rong was not the master of the Ming Dynasty.

"Is it too Shici?!" Kong Rong whispered to himself with a strange light in his eyes.
