A ferry port downstream of Yingshui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ferry here was originally under the jurisdiction of Yangzhai County, although it is more remote from the city, but the garrison force of the ferry here has always been sent by Yangzhai County. It wasn't until Zhangjiao's Taiping Road raised the flag that Bocai's army of more than 100,000 swept nearly half of Yuzhou's land, and this ferry became the transportation hub for Bocai to attack Changshe City, and Bocai sent 3,000 men to capture the ferry and put it under his jurisdiction.

During the period when Bocai's army was at its strongest, Yangzhai County wished that Bocai would never think of Yuzhou and his own city, but with the defeat of Bocai's army outside Changshe City, the county commander of Yangzhai County immediately sent people to recapture the ferry in order to make up for his mistake of losing the ferry.

And Wu Yi sent troops south to aid Zhu Jun this time, and he also chose to cross Yingshui from this ferry. When Wu Yi led the army to the ferry, he found that although the flag of the Han army was fluttering on the ferry, there were only hundreds of old and weak soldiers stationed at the ferry. Most of these old and weak sergeants were gray-haired, and even the occasional younger ones had injured a hand or a crippled leg.

Wu Yi was very curious when he saw this scene, since Yangzhai County had gone to great lengths to take this ferry back from the Yellow Turban Army, why didn't he leave enough elite soldiers, but just sent some old, weak, sick and disabled people to fill up here?

Cheng Yu, who was riding a horse and following behind Wu Yi as a military clerk, saw Wu Yi's suspicious face and explained to Wu Yi that river crossings like this in the hinterland of the Central Plains are generally garrisoned by the old, weak, sick and disabled. First, this kind of ferry is located in the hinterland of the country, and generally there will be no foreign invasion. Second, every year in various parts of the Han Dynasty, there were countless soldiers who were discharged from the army due to age or injury, and these people dedicated their youth and health to the imperial court, which often did not have the land to cultivate after they were unarmed.

In order to prevent these people from not even having a mouthful of food, the imperial court gave the matter of stationing the ferry to these old and weak disabled people, which could not only ensure that these old and weak old and sick people who had retired from the army had the ability to survive, but also reduce the huge expenses of the garrison army, and mobilize local young and strong soldiers to the border to perform other more important tasks.

"All the troops cross the river!" Wu Yi expressed a trace of regret for these old, weak, and disabled sergeants who could not enjoy the rest of their lives after they were discharged from the army, and then Wu Yi focused on the present and ordered the whole army to complete the river crossing as soon as possible, and the next town was still half a day's journey from the ferry.

After Wu Yi's military order was issued, more than 10,000 sergeants under his command lined up in a neat military formation and walked towards the ferry, although the ferry did not have heavy combat ships such as Lou Chuan, but there were still many large transport ships that could carry goods. More than 10,000 sergeants lined up in formation, although it was overwhelming, but it was under the transportation of dozens of transport ships back and forth, and the crossing of the river was quickly completed.

Wu Yi, as the chief general of the army, crossed the river with the last group of sergeants. When the boat reached the middle of the river, a red tide suddenly floated in the upstream direction, accompanied by unidentified objects floating in the river, and when those objects approached, the sergeants on the boat exclaimed that the dense unknown objects in the river were actually corpses wearing yellow turban uniforms!

"General Huangfu still did it after all." Wu Yi's face was ugly, because he knew that at least tens of thousands of lives had been buried in this river.

After the First World War, more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops under Bo Cai's command burned 40,000 to death and escaped 30,000, but more than 70,000 abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Huangfu Song hated these Yellow Turban rebels who had besieged him, and proposed several times to kill them on the spot. But both Wu Yi and Cao Cao were resolutely opposed to Huangfu Song's killing of these captives. In Cao Cao's opinion, these captives can be used to the best of their abilities even if they are distributed to the frontier, and it is really a waste to kill them all. In Wu Yi's opinion, many of these captives are exiles who have been coerced, even if some of them follow Bo Cai to do evil, but now they have all surrendered to Huangfu Song, why bother to kill these people and leave no way to live?

At that time, Cao Cao and Wu Yi had been appointed as the commanders of the two partial armies, and it was with Cao Cao and Wu Yi's advice and the silence of the rest of the generals that Huangfu Song endured for several days and did not do anything to these Yellow Turban captives, but he didn't expect that he and Cao Cao had just gone far, and Huangfu Song still saw the butcher's knife swing towards the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners. At this time, the Yingshui where Wu Yi was located was dyed red by the blood left in the upper reaches, and the corpse floating with the waves was even more impressive.

"Since ancient times, the killing of prisoners has been ominous. After defeating the Zhao army, Wu Anjun buried hundreds of thousands of surrendered Zhao troops alive, and since then he has been called 'human slaughter' and finally died at the hands of villains. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, led 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers to conquer the world, and broke hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the battle of Julu's backwater. As a result, Xiang Yu was arrogant and arrogant, and ordered the execution of hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers and soldiers he had captured, causing the Guanzhong father to regard him as an enemy, burying the good situation in vain, and finally being seized by Emperor Gaozu for hegemony in the world. These two people are both heroes of the moment, and they are still guilty of destroying their yin virtue for killing prisoners, and General Huangfu is now bent on killing tens of thousands of prisoners, and he will definitely suffer retribution and disaster to his descendants! ”

Xu Shu was born in a civilian family, and he still has some sympathy for the Yellow Turban Army, which is composed of displaced people. Huangfu Song's killing of prisoners directly touched Xu Shu's psychological bottom line, so his words were inevitably a little intense.

Wu Yi patted Xu Shu on the shoulder to show comfort, he knew that in the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion, when it came to the most murderous general of the Han army, Dong Zhuo, who was born in Liangzhou, couldn't even catch up with Huangfu Song. According to the trajectory of history, after Emperor Fu Song defeated Zhang Liang in the battle of Guangzong in October of Zhongping, he would slaughter 30,000 soldiers and drive 50,000 or 60,000 old and weak women and children in the Yellow Turban Army into the river and drown them alive.

Immediately after Zhongping November, Huangfu Song and Julu Taishou Guo Dian joined forces to take advantage of the victory to force Xiaquyang, where Zhang Baobu of the Yellow Turban Army was stationed. The two armies fought fiercely for many days, the Yellow Turban Army lost one after another, Zhang Bao was killed in battle, and the Yellow Turban Army was killed and captured more than 100,000 people. Huangfu Song beheaded all the captured Yellow Turban Army soldiers again, and gathered the corpses of all the Yellow Turban Army soldiers to build 'Jingguan' in the south of Julu City to show his military exploits.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, although Huangfu Song's methods are somewhat cruel, swinging the butcher's knife on the heads of all the compatriots who participated in the rebellion. But it was precisely because of his 'conspicuous' achievements that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty quickly canonized him as the general of the left chariot cavalry after the war, led the Jizhou herd, and promoted him to the marquis of Huaili, and the taxes of Huaili and Meiyang counties were eaten, and a total of 8,000 households were eaten.

"General Huangfu's methods are so brutal, after all, it hurts the heavens and peace, even if he can be prominent for a while with this move, there will definitely be hardships waiting for him in the future." Wu Yi knew that although Huangfu Song could be distinguished for a while with his wartime exploits, he offended this evil wolf by stealing Dong Zhuo's limelight, and after Dong Zhuo finally entered Luoyang, Huang Fusong's 'good life' would really begin.
