Chapter 92: Mediocre and Peaceful
After some excuses, under Han Zhong's repeated pleas, Wu Yi could only accept these gold, silver and jewelry, which were obviously from the wrong way. In the final analysis, www.biquge.info this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Yellow Turban Army, if Wu Yi refuses to accept this 'gift', no matter how good the words are, Han Zhong will not dare to believe it.
"Go to the vendors for these things to exchange for some chickens, ducks, geese and sheep, and let Han Zhong spend money to give the soldiers in the army a meat treat." As soon as Han Zhong left, Wu Yi handed over the cloth bag to Xu Shu. As the eldest son of Chen Liuwu's family, if he refuses to give up even this bit of money, how can he achieve great things in the future?
Taking the slightly heavy cloth bag from Wu Yi's hand, Xu Shu asked with some puzzlement: "Since the lord knows that General Zhu Jun hates these Shangyong Yellow Turban Army, why does he want to take this troublesome matter?" If things can become the lord, it will only be thanks to these Yellow Turban Army, but if something changes, we will not be able to explain it to General Zhu Jun. ”
"After all, it's the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, since I'm just doing it with my hands, what's the harm in giving them a way to live?" As the originally vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising was about to come to an end, Wu Yi paid less and less attention to Zhu Jun.
"But General Zhu Jun is about to return to Wancheng, and if he insists on conquering the Shangyong Yellow Turban Army at that time, the previous arrangement of the lord may not be able to make him change his mind." Xu Shu was still a little optimistic about this matter, because he also knew General Zhu Jun's stubborn and bad temperament.
Wu Yi smiled mysteriously: "When General Zhu Jun returns to Wancheng, he really may not have time to spend time with those Yellow Turban Army in Shangyong." As long as he still wants to compete with General Huangfu Song, he will inevitably hurry back to Luoyang to ask the imperial court for his life,"
Xu Shu looked at Wu Yi in surprise, not understanding why Wu Yi said this: "Could it be that the lord has got any news?" ”
"That's right, a few days ago, my father sent me a letter from Chen, which mentioned the news that Liangzhou's Bian Zhang and Han Sui joined forces with the Qiang people to rebel." Wu Yi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Shu.
"This Yellow Turban Army has just been pacified, and the Qiang people actually started an incident in Liangzhou again? This is really ......." Xu Shu took the letter that Wu Yi handed to him and read it.
Wu Yi shrugged his shoulders at Xu Shu's feelings, he knew that all this was just the beginning. At least now the Han court in Luoyang has not lost its last majesty, but after the current emperor Liu Hong died of illness, first the eunuchs murdered the general He Jin, and then Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang tiger wolf to dominate Luoyang, and after Dong Zhuo was beaten back to Chang'an by the princes of the Eighteenth Road, the princes of all walks of life tore the last veil of shame and started a melee of princes that was even worse than the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In 156 AD, the registered population of the Han Dynasty was more than 50 million, but by 258 AD, the most powerful Wei State had only more than 4.4 million people, the Wu State had only more than 2 million people, and the weakest Shu State even had more than 900,000 people. Only after 100 years, the population has not only increased by half a bit, but has plummeted by nearly 90%. The head is hung in front of the horse, the woman is carried behind the car, the white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, there are more than 100 people, and the thought breaks people's intestines!
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has come to an end, at least millions of people have died in the natural and man-made disasters throughout the country this year. Wu Yi had heard that saving someone's life was better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, since he had the opportunity to save the lives of tens of thousands of people, why not give a hand?
……...
A few days later, Wu Yi led thousands of men and horses to Shangyong, and fought with a Yellow Turban Army outside Shangyong City, and finally defeated this Yellow Turban Army, successfully attacked Shangyong and occupied Shangyong City. After entering the city, Wu Yi accepted the surrender of the 'remnants' of the Yellow Turban Army in the city, and disbanded these Yellow Turban soldiers.
Hearing the military report that Wu Yi had invaded Shangyong, Zhu Jun rushed to Shangyong with an army of 20,000 overnight.
"Ziyuan, what's going on with all this? Why would you suddenly become mediocre? Why didn't you write to inform him before the war? Zhu Jun knelt on the throne of the Shangyong City Guard, staring at Wu Yi and the others standing below with a gloomy face.
Wu Yi didn't seem to see Zhu Jun's face at all, and replied flatly: "Since the general left Wancheng, in order to prevent the attack of the Shangyong Yellow Turban Army on Wancheng, hundreds of scouts have been deployed in the area of Shangyong. The day before yesterday, the scouts reported that the Shangyong Yellow Turban Army went out of the city to plunder the surrounding people because the food in the city was exhausted. Zai Xia thought that this was the best opportunity to take advantage of the weakness to break the thief army, so he ordered the military horse to kill Shangyong. Fortunately, God blessed the big man, in the next battle to break the thief army's main formation, the thief Zhang Mancheng died on the spot due to excessive shock, and the rest of the thieves had not eaten for many days, and they scattered and fled in the case of the sudden death of the thief Zhang Mancheng. In the next take the opportunity to attack Shangyong, and recover the entire territory of Shangyong in one fell swoop. ”
Zhu Jun snorted coldly, and shouted angrily with great dissatisfaction: "Since you found out about the enemy's situation, why didn't you report to the general as soon as possible, but used troops to conquer Shangyong without authorization?" Did you know that your greatest responsibility is to guard Wancheng? ”
Wu Yi smiled indifferently: "If I remember correctly, when the general left, he gave him the right to act at the opportunity, and when he grasped the fighter plane and took the entire territory of Shangyong in one fell swoop, he didn't let Wancheng suffer any damage, is it possible that in the general's opinion, there was no merit in Xia?" ”
"You!" Zhu Jun was angry for a while, and the right he gave Wu Yi to act at the opportunity when he left was just a passing mention, and he didn't expect Wu Yi to recover Shangyong from the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. In Zhu Jun's plan, those Yellow Turban Army in the upper class will be his own internal qualifications, but he expected that the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army would not be useful at all, and they were easily defeated by Wu Yi.
Sun Jian on the side suddenly stood up: "Since Ziyuan has broken through hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, why didn't Sun see many corpses when he entered the city?" I don't know how much Ziyuan won in this battle? Have you ever caught any of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army? ”
"In this battle, because the thieves dispersed too quickly, there were not many victories. And Shangyong just had a plague last year, in order to prevent the plague from revival, he discarded all the thief corpses except for the thief Zhang Mancheng to Hanshui after the war, after all, the credit of winning and recovering the whole territory of Shangyong is not comparable at all, if the plague is tossed because of that corpse, I am afraid that the court will not only not reward but will be punished. ”
Sun Jian asked unwillingly: "Could it be that except for the thief Zhang Mancheng, Ziyuan has not captured the rest of the Yellow Turban generals?" And even if all the corpses of the Yellow Turbans were thrown into the Han River, wouldn't there be any capture? ”
"There were quite a few captures, but because of the hurry that came, I didn't bring much food and grass at all. His mentor Chen Yu also warned that it was ominous to kill the prisoners, and in desperation, he had no choice but to confiscate their weapons and armor, and then release all these captives and let them destroy themselves. ”
