In the above book, it is mentioned that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were killed in the array, and Pei Yuanshao even found Zhang Jiao's tomb in Changshe City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After the Battle of Changshe, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was only Zhang Mancheng in Wancheng and Peng Tuo in Runan.

In the Changshe Mansion, the Nanping army generals who saw off Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yan Xing, Sun Jian and others gathered in the hall of the Mansion to wait for Liu Qian's arrangement.

Liu Qian lived on the big seat in the hall, facing south and north, listening to Guan Ning's report.

"The casualties of our army in this battle: the first battalion of light cavalry lost 298 people, and the deputy commander He Xiao was killed in this battle; The second battalion of light cavalry killed 332 people, and the deputy commanders Di Lan and Situ Fang were killed in this battle; The third battalion of light cavalry killed 301 people, and the deputy commander Hao Yu was killed in this battle.

Fifteen were killed in the 1st Battalion of Mounted Archers, and 10 in the 2nd Battalion; No one from the third and fourth battalions was killed.

The heavy cavalry was unkilled.

The first battalion of the Jiugong Army lost 233 people, of which 30 were killed; One hundred and thirty men were killed in the nine battalions, of which 18 were martyred by the battle master; The 11th Battalion suffered 249 casualties, of which 19 were killed by the battle master.

All 1,000 soldiers of the 7th Battalion of the Volunteer Army were killed; Seven hundred and eighty-one people were killed in the ninth battalion, among which the commander Yao Mai and the deputy commander Gülen were martyred; The 11th Battalion suffered 677 casualties, of which the deputy commander Long Xiao was martyred; The 12th battalion suffered 541 casualties, of which the deputy commander Tong Gang was martyred; The 10th Battalion suffered 491 casualties, of which the commander Duran and the deputy commander Tarshan were martyred; The 13th Battalion lost 481 casualties, of which the commander Meng Gangsong was martyred; The first battalion suffered 444 casualties, of which the deputy commander Li Lan was martyred; 5 battalions killed 429 men; The fourth battalion lost 380 people, of which the deputy commander Yang Wuyi was martyred; The second battalion suffered 338 casualties, of which the deputy commander Zhao Lantian was martyred; The three battalions lost 299 people, of which the commander Xiao Xiao was martyred; 14 battalions killed 287 men; 6 battalions killed 270 men; 8 battalions killed 235 men; One hundred and eighty people were killed in the fifteenth battalion, of which the deputy commander Zhang Bai was killed. A total of 6,833 people were killed, including 5 commanders and 12 deputy commanders. ”

"I didn't expect this battle to lose so many of my bloody men." Liu Qian said sadly, "Mr. You'an, can you prepare the compassionate money for the fallen soldiers?" All the fallen soldiers were buried with great honor! Commanders and deputy commanders with family members are paid three times the standard, and soldiers are paid twice the standard of compassion. ”

"Yes." Guan Ning responded. Many of the generals below were very pleased.

"Go on!" Liu Qian said.

"One hundred and fifty-three thousand nine hundred and eighty enemy troops have been captured, and those who do not want to join the army have been sent coils to their homes. Now there are 107,989 left. Guan Ning continued to report, "The enemy captured 9.88 million stone of food, 9,732 horses, 360,871 knives and guns, 3,788 boxes of jewelry, and 230,000 yuan of money. ”

Liu Qian was stunned in his heart, this Zhang Bao brother is really rich enough! In this way, the food and salary alone is enough to feed an army of 300,000 for a year. There are so many items such as jewelry, I don't know how many rich businessmen and how many corrupt officials have looted them?

Liu Qian said to Bing Yuan while thinking: "Mr. Genju, you arrange for someone to put the captured materials into the quartermaster battalion to be responsible for management, and everything is registered in the accounts. Liu Qian said.

"Yes." Bing Yuan responded.

Liu Qian waved to Bing Yuan and Guan Ning and motioned for them to go down. And they withdrew together, and went to do their own thing.

Xu Shu came out of the ranks and said: "My lord, at present, our army has more than 100,000 newly included soldiers, and it needs to be properly settled. ”

"I've thought about it. The light cavalry battalion suffered heavy losses in this battle, and our army needs to replenish and expand the team of light cavalry, Zilong, after coming down, you go to the soldiers to select some people who are clever and good at riding horses, first make up three light cavalry battalions, and then see if you can still form five light cavalry battalions? As for their battalion commanders, they should be promoted from the deputy commanders of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions, and if the number of deputy commanders is insufficient, they should be promoted from the light cavalry who were outstanding in this operation. You should also pick some strong and good cavalry archers, and see if you can form five or six more cavalry archer battalions? Liu Qian said to Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw.

The two of them were commanded to go down.

Liu Qian said to Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei: "The three of you will first select some suitable candidates to complete the Jiugong Army." Then, according to the military merits of this battle, those centurions and deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army were promoted to the positions of commanders and deputy commanders of the new military camp. ”

The three of them were ordered to go down.

Liu Qian turned back to Xu Shu and asked, "Strategist, now that our army is resting here, we still need to send a good news to the imperial court." In addition, is it necessary to send the bodies of the three Zhang Jiao brothers to Kyoto? ”

"It is said that this Zhang Jiao has been dead for a long time, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang have also died on the battlefield. How do we send it? It's not rotten when it's sent over, and it doesn't look like it was! It's better for us to go to the first book and report the credit first, and when the time comes, whether his court will send someone to come. That's his business. Xu Shu said treacherously.

"Okay! It's still thoughtful and thoughtful. Liu Qian said with a smile.

At this time, Liu Bei came out of the queue and said: "Brother, during the battle, I promised Sanying to send the bodies of Chasing Wind and Falling Rain back to Nanshan. You see? ”

Liu Qian looked at Liu Bei with a smile and said, "Brother Xian, this matter will be handed over to Mr. Genju!" Mr. Genju, tomorrow you will send someone to send the corpse to Nanshan, and bring some gifts to the three old heroes by the way. ”

Bingyuan received the order.

Liu Bei asked again: "Brother, the remaining large number of Yellow Turban thieves this time are Zhang Mancheng of Wancheng and Peng Tuo of Runan. I wonder what my brother is going to do? ”

"This? I have a plan for my brother. Xuande and Zhongkang listened to the order. Liu Qian heard the words and ordered.

"Don't listen to orders." Xu Chu lined up and answered with Liu Bei.

"This time, our army sent troops in two ways. Xuande, you lead the way, Tie Sheng (Xu Rong's word), Man Tun (Zhou Cang's word), Rui Li (Chen Gun's word), Shaoqing (Yang Huai) as the deputy general, commanding the 21st Battalion, to the 28th Battalion and other eight battalions of volunteers to go to Wancheng to rescue Wancheng from danger, my army set off to Wancheng half a month later to kill that Zhang Mancheng. Zhongkang you led the way, strong protection (iron armor), perseverance (golden shield), splitting valve (Dong Dao), hook (Fan Jian) as deputy generals, and led the 16th to 20th battalions and other five battalions of volunteers to Runan to assist Zhonglang to kill Zhu Jun and the Yellow Turban thief Peng Tuo. This time, it is necessary to exterminate the yellow scarf, supplemented by the seizure of its materials. There must be no mistakes. ”

When Liu Bei heard the order, he was both happy and ridiculous. Since he recognized this brother, he found that his brother is good in everything, but he is too greedy for money. How did he know that the reason why Liu Qian was greedy for money was because of the influence of the story of the Three Kingdoms in later generations. However, he Liu Bei also saw that for so long now, the imperial court only provided food and salary once, but only 10,000 stones, which was only enough for the soldiers to eat for a few days. If it weren't for the fact that every time after defeating the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Qian was the first to rush at the enemy's food and other materials, and then they would have been hungry.

Xu Chu was very obedient, raised his head and chest, and promised with Liu Bei: "Obey the order." ”

According to how Liu Qian and Xu Shu reported their military exploits, the imperial court sent that person as a messenger here to check the facts, not to mention the facts. First of all, Xu Chu took Jin Dun, Tie Jia, Dong Dao, Fan Jian and others to Runan to assist Zhonglang to encircle and suppress Zhang Mancheng by Zhu Jun.

It is said that Xu Chu and others left the Changshe barracks and passed by the Yingchuan area. Yingchuan was still under the occupation of the Yellow Turban Army, and the guard was Zhang Mancheng's direct subordinate called Zhao Hong. He originally had more than 30,000 horses under his command. When Zhang Jiao set up a formation, he borrowed people from Peng Tuo, and Peng Tuo was confronting Zhu Jun in Runan, so he sent people to Nanyang to ask Zhang Mancheng to send troops. Zhang Mancheng had already occupied Wancheng at this time and was resting, so he sent people to Zhao Hong in Yingchuan and ordered him to send 10,000 horses to reinforce Changshe. Zhao Hong had more than 20,000 horses left.

Later, Liu Qian broke the Nine Palaces Bagua Array and found Zhang Jiao's grave. Xu Shu spread the news that Zhang Jiao was dead, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had died in the Nine Palaces Bagua Array. When the Yellow Turbans heard about this, many of them quietly fled. In half a month, the number of Yellow Turban troops plummeted. It was only after the killing of hundreds of deserters led by two big leaders, Zhang Mancheng and Peng Tuo, that this phenomenon was stopped.

Yingchuan Zhao Hong is no exception here. After killing thirty-eight deserters, Zhao Hong counted the soldiers under his direct command, and there were only 10,800 left.

It was noon when Xu Chu and the others came to Yingchuan. Xu Chu instructed Jin Dun and Tie Armor to lead the soldiers to set up camp and set up a stove to prepare lunch. He took Dong Dao and Fan Jian to the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth battalions of the rebel army to fight the enemy outside Yingchuan City.

A group of people set up a formation, Xu Chu immediately placed a horizontal knife in front of the formation, and ordered the drum to fight against the enemy.

The drummer rounded his arm, and a drum beat of "Knock Knock" rang out.

Not long after, a soldier on the tower of Yingchuan City had already reported Zhao Hong. Then Zhao Hong came to the city tower to take a look, and saw that the posture of the people was like this! The big man at the head was burly, and he sat on a fat and strong high-grade war horse, and the horizontal knife immediately had a murderous aura that spread out without a fight.

"The enemy is fighting, and the general is out to meet the enemy?" Zhao Hong, this kid, has always had the advantage of taking it first, and having the hand to do the work later. Now that you see the enemy fighting, first ask who the deputy will go?

"The last will go." One of his subordinates is Zhao Sanxi, who is so happy and has always liked to pat Zhao Hong's ass. As soon as he saw Zhao Hong's general, he reported that he was brave enough to fight.

"Good! Gather up 3,000 men and horses and go out to meet the enemy. Zhang Siguan, Li Wutong, the two of you went together to press the battle for Zhao Sanxi. Zhao Hong commanded.

Zhang Siguan, Li Wutong and Zhao Sanxi agreed, went down and lit up 3,000 soldiers and horses, and came out of the city.

The three of them went out of the city gate and set up their positions. Zhao Sanxi patted his horse and came to the front of the two armies, pointed at Xu Chu and the others with bald rod and long hair in his hand, and shouted: "The officer and army opposite, the one who doesn't have long eyes came to send him to death?" ”

Fan Jian looked at it, this kid looked like the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in his life, with that thin figure that looked like only a hundred or ten pounds, how funny it looked! said to Xu Chu: "Third general, I'll kill him!?" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, the meaning of Fan Jian's words was to look down on the other party! The eldest brother often tells his brothers that the so-called tiger slaughtering sheep must also do their best, and they must not be careless because the other party shows weakness. Xu Chu sank his face and said, "Hook, you have a bad mentality!" You shouldn't have been put into battle. Since you are in the war, you can go. However, it is important to remember that tigers and sheep slaughter must also be done. Don't be careless about the enemy. ”

After hearing this, Fan Jian immediately blushed. However, this person's face is still very thick, and in the blink of an eye, the red on his face dissipated, and he slapped his horse out of the battle, raising his big sword and slashing at that Zhao Sanxi.

Did Fan Jian carelessly miss Zhao Sanxi's appearance? Will Zhao Sanxi, Zhang Siguan and Li Wutong be able to stop Xu Chu and others from attacking? How did Xu Chu capture Yingchuan City? What conspiracy did Zhao Hong play against Xu Chu? The following chapters will continue, please give you a try, and the coffee will continue to elaborate.
