Chapter 48 The Beginning and End of Grain Purchase
In view of the fact that only Puyang still had the strength to defend the city in Dongjun, but there was no other city that could form a corner with it, Liu Jin agreed to Han Hao's request and led more than 5,000 Han troops to be stationed in Yan County.
When the brigade of men and horses escorted 70,000 or 80,000 Yellow Turban captives to Yan County, the remaining people were boiling, and these people still remembered the atrocities of the Yellow Turbans, and they were angry for a while.
"Kill them, kill these Yellow Turban thieves"
The deafening shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, if it weren't for the Han cavalry to block it, I was afraid that these people would be able to rush up and fight with it.
"Folks, these people are the same people as you are my Han people, and they are also confused by the Yellow Turban Thief. The thieves who really did evil have all been killed by our army, and I hope everyone will look at the thin surface of a certain place and temporarily calm the wrath of thunder, can you", Liu Jin hurriedly flew in front of the crowd and shouted loudly.
Hearing the shouting, these people still didn't stop, most of them were still desperately impacting the isolation zone formed by the cavalry, if it weren't for the cavalry's well-trained, I was afraid that the Han cavalry of about 3,000 people would not be able to stop the surging crowd no matter what.
Seeing this situation, Liu Jin couldn't help but have a big headache.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting from the Yellow Turban captives behind me: "Dad, my son is back."
"Uncle Li. Xiaoliu came back alive".
For a while, there were countless people calling friends, and finally the surging crowd stopped a little. After all, those who were shouting were the neighbors of Yanxian County who were coerced by the Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing this situation, Liu Jindun had a plan, and hurriedly shouted: "Folks, they are all our fathers and brothers!" Like these people in Yan County, they are all people who are coerced by Buji's dog thief! Now that they have laid down their arms, they are now the same people as everyone else, and they are also suffering! If you still want to take revenge, then join our team, sweep away the thieves with Liu, and return my big man's Lang Lang Qiankun! ”。
Liu Jin's voice was loud, loud enough for hundreds of people to hear. When these hundreds of people heard Liu Jin's words, they couldn't help but be stunned, he stopped the impact one after another, and began to talk to each other.
"Brother Ma, can you believe what General Liu said?"
"Of course, General Liu is a great hero sent by God to rescue our Yan County, without General Liu, can you and I still live to this day?"
So, these people spread to ten, and ten to hundreds. It didn't take long for it to spread throughout the people of Yan County who hit the isolation zone, and for a while, Liu Jin became a god sent by God to rescue everyone in the eyes of the people.
The Yanmen cavalry and the Baima Yicong soldiers who had good things told the people that the Huns outside the fortress were very afraid of General Liu, and they called General Liu General Shenweitian.
This time it was even worse, the people stopped attacking the isolation zone composed of the Han cavalry, and fell to their knees one after another, shouting: "General Shenweitian, General Shenweitian."
The sound of the shouts shook the earth and could be heard clearly from more than ten miles away. It is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, maybe that's it!
Liu Jin sighed softly, turned the red charcoal fire dragon horse, faced the Yellow Turban captives, and raised the dragon supernatural halberd in his hand violently, and shouted wildly: "Have you seen it?" The hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty have not dispersed, and you should be punished for listening to Zhang Jiao's evil words to confuse the public. Ben will read that he has the virtue of a good life in heaven, and he does not want to kill more, from today on, Wanger and others will live and be virtuous with the people of this Yan County, and build their own homes together! If you help the abusers again, I will kill them!" ”。
A person's voice may be small, but the voice of a few thousand Han cavalry is different. After listening to Liu Jin's words, the Han Jun's son, who was closest to Liu Jin, repeated it over and over again in unison.
Gradually, the people of Yan County were also influenced by the Han army and joined the ranks of shouting. In the end, the seventy or eighty thousand Yellow Turban captives all bowed their heads. I secretly swore in my heart that I would obey Liu Jin's words in this life and swear not to be a thief for the rest of my life.
"General Shenweitian, I want to join your army, is that okay?" , a timid voice sounded in Liu Jin's ears.
Liu Jin hurriedly looked, but found that it was a young man who was only fifteen years old, and he couldn't help but wonder. Then he said: "Child, you are still young, you are not suitable for battlefield battles, and you will be born and die."
"No, General Tian, I'm not young. Yesterday, I killed three yellow turban thieves with my own hands to avenge my father's mother! I'm the only one left in our family, villain, please accept me! Unexpectedly, when the young man heard this, he said stubbornly.
When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel emotional, his tiger eyes were slightly tearful, and he resented the cruelty of this war even more in his heart. With tears in his eyes, Liu Jin saw that the young man had knelt down, poofed his head, and couldn't help but say emotionally: "Okay! Then you can stay by Ben's side and be a guard! What's your name? ”
"General Shenweitian, I want to join, I want to join", without waiting for the young man to reply, hundreds of young men rushed to their knees and shouted, and for a while the crowd was furious, which moved Liu Jin, Han Hao and others.
"Okay, okay, later General Ben will let go of the barracks and let you wait for the army. However, there is one rule, if the family has parents and is an only child, the general will not allow it." Liu Jin was happy in his heart, but he still remembered the regulations in the army.
It turns out that in ancient times, the ancients paid attention to filial piety first, and the old saying goes: there are three unfilial piety, and no queen is great. Therefore, in all dynasties and dynasties, there are regulations for all conscriptions, that is, those who have parents in the family are not accepted, those who have only children in the family are not accepted, and the second and third sons in the family only choose one or two to be conscripted into the army.
The most famous of these is Mulan, and it is said that Mulan's father only had one son and one daughter. But the conscription order of the imperial court came down, and Mulan's family was considered her father to be two dings, and according to the regulations at that time, one person must be called into the army.
Mulan is a filial woman, she sees that her father is old and her brother is young. So he secretly took his father's weapons and armor, bought a horse from the market, and enlisted in the army posing as a man.
"Woo woo woo", the familiar horn sounded, and the five teams escorting the grain carts began to enter the people's eyes.
The continuous convoy was several miles away, and the horses pulling the carts and the majestic horses of the Han cavalry neighed from time to time. With the sound of crunching wheels, hundreds of truckloads of grain and grass slowly came to Liu Jin and the others.
The leading Yan Gang and Tian Kai two generals rushed to Liu Jin, and when they got closer, the two of them clasped their fists on the horse, and Shi Li said: "Du Du, the last general has not disgraced his mission, and has purchased 200,000 stones of grain and grass from Dongwu County, Fan County, Dong'e and other places, which is enough for all our prisoners here to eat for half a year."
"Okay, so that we can be stationed in Yan County with peace of mind, and we don't have to worry about running out of food and grass. Hurry up, arrange for people to load grain into the grain depot, and be sure to send capable soldiers to guard it, and there must be no mistakes." Liu Jin said hello three times in a row, with a smile on his face, and said.
"General Liu, let the lower officials organize people to unload the truck and put it into storage!" , Han Hao stepped forward at the right time and proposed.
Hearing this, Liu Jin looked at Han Tao, and said secretly in his heart: "This Han Hao is the head snake of Yan County, since he dares to say this, he must have some ability." Let him do something! ”
Thinking of this, Liu Jin nodded lightly and said loudly: "In this case, it will bother Captain Han."
Han Hao got Liu Jin's promise, and immediately organized people to lead the convoy into the city.
Not to mention, this Han Hao really has some ability, in just half an hour, Han Hao organized more than 2,000 strong men to join the work of unloading and warehousing, and in about three hours, all the 200,000 stone grain was counted and put into storage.
Yan County, county magistrate
Since Liu Jin led the army to break Yan County, it has become the temporary headquarters of Liu Jin's army. At this time, the lobby of the county government was crowded with Gongsun Zhan, Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Han Hao and several Liu Jin's cronies.
"Hahaha, Dudu, don't you know, those wealthy merchants of the world heard that the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou had been wiped out, and they didn't plan to sell the grain to us. But when we said that the Yellow Turbans were about to make a comeback, these death-scared fellows hurriedly agreed to sell the grain to us." When Yan Gang was thinking about buying grain, the appearance of the fat-headed and big-eared head of the Li family in Dongwu County could no longer hold back a smile in his heart, and he said with a laugh.
"No, how can they sell so much grain to you so easily?" , Han Hao on the side asked with some disbelieving.
As soon as they heard this, Yan Gang and Tian Kai, who were in charge of buying food, laughed even more happily, and laughed at the two seven or eight-foot-tall men who were leaning forward and backward, and everyone couldn't help but be a little confused, but Liu Jin seemed to understand a little, smiled lightly, and did not speak.
"Don't say it quickly, be careful that I beat you two boys", Gongsun Chan glared and was about to fight.
When the two of them saw it, they quickly stopped laughing. Tian Kai said: "Brother Yan, let's talk about it!" ”。
When Yan Gang heard this, he forced himself to laugh and said, "If you want to say it, it's better to be the governor." I took 400 people to Li's house in Dongwu County. The head of the Li family listened to my words, and he was reluctant to sell grain at first, but I said to Li Yang, do you know who my men with yellow scarves are? ”。
"Then Li Yang said that he didn't know, so I told him that these people were all prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army, and they were the Yellow Turban Army captured by our Governor of Youzhou. If you don't sell the grain, then the thief will come, and we will wait for the Yellow Turban thief to capture the city and then break the city, and then your whole family will die, and we will not need to spend a copper plate to get this white grain."
Without waiting for Yan Gang to finish speaking, Han Hao interjected again: "Could it be that Li Yang believes this?" As far as I know, this person is notoriously smelly and hard. Zhao Ge, the former county magistrate of Yan County, once borrowed grain from this person, no matter how Zhao Ge coerced and lured, this old boy didn't borrow it."
Of course he didn't believe it, but! I instructed my soldiers to make an emergency report according to the governor's strategy, saying that Peng Tuo's army was less than 100 miles away from Dongwu County, and Li Yang immediately changed his tone when he heard this. But this old boy is not stupid, he sells grain on the condition, that is, he must have our army to resist the thieves." Yan Gang said again.
Hearing this, Han Hao's brows furrowed, and he said after a long time: "If this is the case, it is still possible." After all, the name of the Yellow Turban Thief is well known in Dongjun, and this group of people is greedy and greedy to kill rich businessmen of the world. It's just that what you say is not true, how can he not distinguish between truth and falsehood? ”。
"Hey! I have to say that we all have a good way to supervise it. As soon as I heard that Li Yang was willing to sell grain, I asked Li Yang to hurry up and load the grain into the truck, so that I could go back and ask for help if I got the grain and grass. Li Yang, the old boy, was suspicious, and ordered people to carry grain and grass while ordering people to inquire about the news. When the grain and grass were loaded, the man who heard the news also returned."
After a pause, Yan Gang glanced at Han Hao, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "That old boy knows that he has been deceived, and he will regret it, and when I see it, he ordered the soldiers to draw their swords and intimidate him, and at the same time let the prisoners hurry back with grain and grass, Li Yang did not dare to use force with our army, so he reluctantly sold us 50,000 stone of grain."
No, as soon as Han Hao heard this, his face immediately changed color, and he hurriedly said to Liu Jin: "General Liu, it's a bad thing, this Li Yang is the brother of the concubine of Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, I'm afraid that this Qiaomao will not give up when he hears about it!" ”。
Hearing this, Liu Jin was also a little stunned. He knew that Qiao Mao and Qiao Xuan were uncles and nephews, and now Liu Jin was sighing in his heart, and secretly said that it was broken. (To be continued)
