Chapter 9: Crushing the Yellow Turban
"The yellow turbans outside the city are rebellious people, and our army is the king of the righteous path. The enemy is tired from Mangdang, the end of the strong crossbow, the morale is lazy, and the morale of our army is strong, and the morale of our army is strong, and the situation is victorious; Although the enemy army is numerous, but the rabble, there are many old and young in it, and the combat power is not good, the yellow turban that I met with Zhou Cang the day before yesterday is proof, there are only seven or eight hundred people who can fight, although our army is small, it is the elite of a hundred battles and has been trained for a long time, and it is not about the courage of General Zhang Er, this martial victory is also, in this way, the lord is not in the palm of his hand" Gao Ping said while stretching out three fingers one after another and said: "The Yellow Turban Army is not terrible, Cao Cao only selected more than 100,000 strong people out of the 300,000 yellow turbans when he pacified Yanzhou, and it was still the yellow scarf when it was extremely rampantNow that the Yellow Turbans are getting weaker, there is not much light to be released, and the thieves outside the city estimate that the real strength will not exceed 30%, so calculated, the 50,000 Yellow Turbans are at best 10,000 people, and they are just a rabble, and it is easy to break the thieves with 5,000 elite thieves of our army." Gao Ping boldly deduced that this was the right time to train the army.
"Ziqing's words are like seeing the sun through the clouds, the yellow turban is in chaos, and now it is my realm, I should lead the troops to ask for it" Liu Bei Zhengse said. In the entire Liu Bei group, no one will know the Yellow Turban Army better than Liu Bei, Liu Bei is stepping on the Yellow Turban corpse all the way, the Yellow Turban Army always coercs the people, among which less than thirty percent can fight, although it is not difficult for everyone to break it, and Gao Ping's mind is different, Gao Ping wants to exercise the army, Liu Bei wants to test how much ability Gao Ping has, if even such a small crisis can not come up with any countermeasures, Liu Bei will be very disappointed. (Liu Bei glared at the author angrily and said: "You are so stupid to me!") The author sighed: "Am I stupid about feelings? "You said it yourself" Liu Bei hehehehe
Liu Bei personally led 4,000 elite soldiers in the city out of the south gate to meet the Yellow Turban, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gao Ping, Zhou Cang and others went out with the army, leaving Jian Yong and Chen Qun to defend the city.
Liu Bei stood in the south of the city ten miles to stand in the position, only to see the banner waving, the battle flag fluttering, five thousand elite soldiers swallow wing type lined up, dark green bronzing "Liu" word handsome under Liu Bei top helmet armor, robe belt, hand holding hero double-strand sword, high-spirited, Guan Zhang Er will be majestic and majestic to protect beside him, Gao Ping, Zhou Cang led the flying dragon guard two hundred horses in the center to protect Liu Bei, behind all three hundred light horses, left and right sword and shield soldiers formed a formation to defend, spearmen followed closely in the gap of the people to discharge spears, with archers to shoot the wings, the whole formation can attack, retreat can defend, 5,000 swords and guns reflected the sun, and the military appearance was neat and majestic, but it was a pity that the soldiers did not have much armor.
Thinking that he was going to face tens of thousands of yellow scarves, Gao Ping couldn't help but be a little nervous, although he boasted about Haikou, but in case there were also capable people in the yellow scarves, his foreign appearance would be big, but Zhou Cang was excited
, the big knife in his hand seemed to be slightly shaken with excitement as it was infected.
In a short time, a large number of thieves roared under the guidance of dozens of horses, many thieves were covered with dirt, their heads were wrapped in yellow scarves, and they came all over the mountains, there was no queue at all, and the blades in their hands were also varied, there were axes, kitchen knives, wooden sticks, and all kinds of farm tools, etc., and occasionally there were one or two people with regular weapons, it seems, it was some small leaders, saying that they were more like peasants than bandits.
The thieves rushed up, under the yellow banner, a yellow-bearded man held a machete and couldn't stop roaring and scolding the team, hoping to hold the position, but only a few thousand people in the center obeyed the order, and restrained others from time to time, and the rest of the thieves rushed over the yellow-bearded man and rushed to Liu Bei's army, maybe there was no obstruction all the way, they thought that the officials and troops here were also vulnerable, not far in front of them was the city wall of Xiaopei, maybe they had seen the mountains of grain in Xiaopei City, But there was a small army blocking the way, and perhaps this army would withdraw into the city after a symbolic period of resistance, just like the other officers and soldiers? But only by crushing this army can they enter Xiaopei City and feast on it.
Their requirements are not simple, a full meal, but today's luck is not good, the army in front of them is Liu Beijun, an army dedicated to the Yellow Turban. The nemesis of the three Yellow Turban Army-Liu Guanzhang, if there are people in this Yellow Turban who followed Zhang Jiao and others in the early years, they should warn everyone that Liu Guanzhang is the nightmare of the Yellow Turban Army, and no one knows? Still haven't had time to say?
Liu Bei calmly looked at the yellow turban thief in front of him, slowly raised the long sword in his right hand, and the herald also held high the red order flag, and the left and right archers immediately wound their arrows, drew their bows, and aimed at the enemy to stand by.
Some veterans even quietly taught the newcomers: "You must be quick in your eyes and hands for a while, otherwise others will take away your military exploits."
Seeing that the newcomer was puzzled and said patiently: "Idiot, Lord Liu Bei has not lost the yellow scarf, Zhang Jiao, who is several times stronger than this, has been defeated by the adult (this is an exaggeration, but it is enough to fool the recruits), don't fall behind when chasing for a while, if you can't catch up with the enemy, you will shout for him to surrender, if you can't do it, you will pick up more things" The veteran was kind and inducing.
"Oh, thank you for taking care of me," the recruit nodded in thanks.
As the thieves got closer and closer, Liu Bei's right hand waved down hard, and in an instant, the arrows were fired together, and the yellow turban thieves who rushed to the front suddenly fell more than 200 people, and some of them were even shot into hedgehogs.
The yellow-faced man jumped like thunder, and killed dozens of people with his own soldiers and finally stabilized his position.
"Bold anti-thief, can you know Liu Xuandehu?" Liu Bei drank. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, after Liu Bei reported to the door, there was a lot of commotion in the Yellow Turban Array.
"I am the great sage and good teacher under the seat of the handsome Huang Shao, today the lack of food to borrow hundreds of thousands of stones, if not, no matter who it is, break the city, the chicken and dog will not stay" The big man reported to his home on the one hand, and ordered his subordinates to suppress the team.
"The grain and grass in my Peicheng are the things of the state, how can I fight against you and others," Liu Beihe immediately reprimanded.
Huang Shao was furious, urging the horse to fight, and suddenly a step beside him galloped out, only to see this person with a face like ink, wearing a green jacket, holding a big iron rod, striding to the front of the battle with bare feet and shouting: "I am the Yaksha He Manye, who dares to fight with me"
Guan Yu and Zhang Feifang were about to come out, not wanting Zhou Cang to fly early, fighting in one place on a horse and one step at a time, flying up and down with a knife and a stick, and splashing in one place from time to time, and there was no winner in thirty rounds.
Gao Ping couldn't help but be surprised, and carefully searched the memory bank, He Man, who is the person? Finally, I vaguely thought that when Cao Cao conquered the Yellow Turban, there seemed to be such a step-down general who fought with Cao Hong for forty or fifty rounds, and was then beheaded by Cao Hong with a drag knife, so it is no wonder that he can fight with Zhou Cang for more than thirty rounds.
Huang Shao saw that He Man could not win in a short time, but sent the four generals next to him to go out at the same time, wanting to win more, Guan Zhang and the two were furious and rode their horses to divide the enemy's two generals, and in the third round, Zhang Fei cut one and seriously injured one general, and Guan Yu was more neat Dan Feng's eyes opened sharply and quickly resolved the battle, He Man heard the screams, peeked at his companions were killed, and was slightly distracted, and was slashed by Zhou Cang's left arm, and ran away in embarrassment.
Liu Bei drove his troops into a big march, and most of the Huang Shao army were peasants who had just put down their hoes, and there were many old and young people who were coerced along the way, and their combat strength was not strong, but now their morale was greatly reduced, and they were tired from afar, so they scattered and fled, and Guan Zhang Er was invincible in the enemy formation like cutting melons and vegetables.
Although Huang Shao's subordinates still have thousands of strong, they could have blocked the impact of Liu Beijun's army, but the defeat was like a mountain, coupled with the fact that the yellow turban had no discipline at all, and the rout could not be stopped.
After the war, more than 5,000 thieves were counted, and there were 8,000 people who surrendered, which was really amazing, but most of them were old and young, and they seized countless weapons, grain and rice, but Zhou Cang was missing on the battlefield.
Two hours later, Zhou Cang and Yiwu Feilong Wei Fang returned to the team, and one person was tied behind the horse, it was the "Heaven Intercepting Yaksha" He Man, covered in mud and seriously injured in his left shoulder.
"Lord, I chased him for thirty miles in the chaos army, this kid is about to catch up with the horse, so it is easy to be chased by me" Zhou Cang led He Man and grinned, it turned out that Zhou Cang had not killed He Man for more than 30 rounds, so he was angry in his heart, so he stared at He Man and did not let go, but He Man walked like a fly, and there was a chaotic army to cover, so he ran straight out for thirty miles before being caught by Zhou Cang.
Liu Bei patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder and said, "Yongyi captured this person as a great achievement."
"Lord, what should I do with this person?" Gao Ping knew that Liu Bei was now the time to employ people, and this person could fight with Zhou Cang to a draw, and his martial arts were good, so he was afraid that Liu Bei would kill him for fame, so he asked first.
"What's so difficult about this, it's easy to cut it," Zhang Fei hurriedly said.
Liu Bei glanced at Gao Ping knowingly, but turned his head to Zhou Cang and said: "Since this person has been captured by Yongyi, presumably Yongyi must have deep meaning."
Zhou Cang shook his head and said: "I see that this kid's martial arts are good, I want to ask the lord to surrender him, and there can be a person to practice in the future" said and peeked at Zhang Fei with a weak heart, it turned out that Zhang Fei saw that Zhou Cang had a lot of strength, so he had nothing to do and Zhou Cang, and every time he started quite heavy, he used Zhou Cang as a meat sandbag to practice, and Zhou Cang was afraid of him like a tiger for a long time. Before today's battle, I saw that He Man was quite powerful, and he was originally from the Yellow Turban, so he first felt sorry for him, and when He Man was captured, he thought that if this person surrendered to the lord and asked Zhang Fei to go to him every day to practice martial arts, he would not have escaped.
High! Gao Ping secretly picked his big finger, and it can be seen that Zhou Cang's mind is a living person instead of a human head, and it can be seen that Zhou Cang's mind Liu Bei does have the ability to figure out people's hearts, and Liu Bei originally had the intention to recruit He Man, but he said through Zhou Cang's mouth, is this the art of the emperor?
Liu Bei slowly walked in front of He Man, Guan Zhang and the two followed closely, Liu Bei personally untied him, patted the dust on his body and said gently: "The strong man is a martial artist, but he is a thief, do you want to surrender today?"
The officers and soldiers who have always regarded the Yellow Turban as a demon and killed them when they were captured are what are going on today, and why are they so good to themselves? He Man looked at Liu Bei suspiciously, as if he hadn't heard what Liu Bei said.
"Hey! Black boy, my eldest brother is kind enough to take you in, why are you still stunned? Zhang Fei jumped over and knocked on He Man's head and shouted.
He Man woke up like a dream (maybe he was hurt by Zhang Fei), hurriedly leaned over and bowed down, and said excitedly:
"Adults don't think He Man is a Yellow Turban rebel, Grace is like regenerating parents, and the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the adult's kindness" In this period, the Yellow Turban is a thief, and the officials and soldiers have always been killed.
Liu Bei hurriedly helped He Man to take clothes and put them on.
Zhang Fei jumped over and knocked on He Man again: "Black boy, my eldest brother is good-hearted, but I see that you also have the strength to practice, so you will practice with me more in the future."
He Man seemed to be very unaccustomed to being knocked on the head (most people can't stand Zhang Fei's hand), and glared at Zhang Fei with a complicated expression, and suddenly He Man pointed at Zhang Fei's face and laughed.
Everyone didn't know why, look at Zhang Fei, and then look at He Man, and also followed the music, it turned out that Zhang Fei's face and He Man really had a fight, maybe He Man finally found a "bosom friend" before laughing.
Liu Bei returned to the city with a great victory, rewarded the three armies, promoted Guan Yu to Fenwei Captain, Zhang Fei to Fenwu Captain, Gao Ping to Captain, Zhou Cang was promoted to Captain because of capturing He Man, Gao Ping asked He Man to enter the Feilong Battalion, and Liu Bei appointed him as a hundred generals.
The surrendered Yellow Turban eliminated its old and weak to be more than 1,000 strong, supplemented the battalions respectively, and the Flying Dragon Battalion was also expanded, this time Gao Ping's conditions for selecting soldiers were almost harsh, but with the previous example, nearly half of the more than 6,000 soldiers signed up, and finally added the original Flying Dragon Guard to get a total of 400 people, which is also the elite of Liu Bei's army.
The rest of the Yellow Turban Liu Bei listened to Gao Ping's suggestion, and those who were willing to go were given road funds, and those who were willing to stay were incorporated into Xiaopei's household registration, given farm tools, seeds, and cultivated land, thus increasing the population of Xiaopei by thousands.
