"My lord—"

Xu Huang, who was shocked, was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but crawl on the ground, and said angrily: "Xu Huang is willing to die for the Lord!" I implore the lord to send Xu Huang 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Xu Huang will go to chase after General Guan Hai and completely sweep Si Yancheng for the lord! ”

Liu Cun waved his hand, signaled his subordinates to get up, and then stepped forward to help Xu Huang up, and said cordially: "Guan Hai's troops are enough, but I can't do without Gong......ming for a while."

"Next, I need Gongming to assist General Liu Pi to defend the strategic place of Shaanxi-Jindu, and transport all the captured materials back to the south bank and send them to Luoyang for storage as soon as possible.

"In addition, I also want Gongming to select craftsmen who are proficient in various crafts from the 20,000 captives and people as soon as possible, and hand them over to Mr. Gongsun to take to Luoyang to rebuild the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty."

"In the end, before handing over the nearly 30,000 captives on the south bank to General Yang Feng, Guan Hai and General Liu Pi had quietly selected 3,000 elite soldiers, nearly half of whom were cavalry, and when I returned to Luoyang, I would transfer another 3,000 recruits to fill them up and form a brigade...... This brigade will depend on you from now on. ”

"I ...... Lord-"

The huge trust moved Xu Huang, who had been struggling for many years, to tears, and his voice choked up for a while.

Twenty miles north of Shaanxi-Tianjin-Du, more than 20,000 Qingzhou troops have been maintaining a moderate speed and marching in an orderly manner.

The heralds of the various ministries rode in front of and behind the mile-long procession. Constantly convey the situation ahead and the orders of the generals downwards.

Guan Hai and two subordinate lieutenants rode past the marching procession. Soon came to the side of the road. After meeting with Xu Sheng and the other generals and informing them of their respective tasks, they immediately guessed in a low voice the true intentions of the lord.

After listening to Guan Hai's simple briefing, Xu Sheng saw the hesitant look in Guan Hai's eyes, so he simply pulled Guan Hai to the big tree away from the pipe, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, don't you still understand the master's mind?" ”

Guan Hai was a little hesitant, and finally simply took out the secret order that Liu Cun personally handed over to him before leaving, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xian help me take a look...... Big brother, I know I'm going to Siyan City. But to what extent I can do it, I really don't know how much I know! ”

Xu Sheng pushed away the order sent by Guan Hai, and said solemnly: "Military law is like a mountain, I will never dare to read the secret order given by the lord to my brother, but I understand some of the lord's thoughts......

"Brother may wish to think about it, now Anyi is in the hands of our army, among the more than ten counties and towns around Anyi, second only to Anyi is Si Yancheng, and the most important battle of our army next is to attack Si Yancheng, an important town of salt and iron, but why is such an important task only handed over to my brother. And don't use our department or Wei Wen's long department with cavalry superiority to cooperate? Instead, we were transferred to Anyi to assist Zhai Chao and the Haw Par Battalion in continuing the search? ”

"One more. Everyone knows that the mountains of seized materials in Anyi City need to be transported back to Luoyang as soon as possible, and it stands to reason that the 8,000 Baibo Army that surrendered to our army in front of him is undoubtedly the best transportation capacity, but why did the lord order all the departments before dawn, requiring all the new and old military uniforms and standard equipment, and all the 8,000 soldiers who have just returned to their hearts and have not yet received our army's military law education to be armed, and then all of them are allocated to the elder brother, who is under the full command of the elder brother? ”

"With such an obvious intention, my brother can't even see it?"

Guan Hai finally suddenly realized: "I understand!" No wonder the lord told him to collect all kinds of craftsmen, give the craftsmen a generous settling-in allowance, and allow all craftsmen to move their families to Qingzhou to settle down, originally planning to sweep away the craftsmen such as iron smelting and salt making in Hedong! ”

"Hey, look at my elm head, thanks to your reminder, haha!"

Xu Sheng saw Guan Haile, who understood it, and began to pretend to be stupid, and couldn't help but take the opportunity to rob one or two: "In this case, how is my brother going to thank me?" ”

Guan Hai was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "In this way, I heard that the gate valve families have nearly 10,000 guards and guardians in Siyan City, and they have a lot of northern war horses and tens of thousands of healthy horses and pack horses. ”

"It's not enough, with the rich world of Siyan City, my brother will definitely gain a lot when he goes, those who are rich and unkind, I'm afraid no one can escape my brother's cruel methods, so at least I have to add five hundred gold." Xu Sheng, who is becoming more and more shrewd, has to inch in.

Guan Hai was taken aback: "Are you trying to kill me?" Have you forgotten the military regulations and military laws of our army? ”

Xu Sheng smiled and said in a low voice: "Brother just give the seized five hundred gold to the younger brother, and the younger brother will truthfully report to the lord, and implore the lord to use the five hundred gold for the expansion of our department." ”

Guan Hai still doesn't know what Xu Sheng thinks? At the moment, they agreed very generously, so the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, high-fived, and went to their own teams.

Tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers and Bai Bo's soldiers looted and killed for five days and five nights, bringing devastating disasters to Hedong County, which was famous and rich in the world.

The Hedong Wang clan, which had been famous for its power and wealth for hundreds of years, was wiped out after the ruthless killing of the Qingzhou army, and the eight gate lords such as the Wei family, the Cui family, and the Liu family were brutally suppressed because of their stubborn resistance.

Thousands of outstanding sons and retainers of the Eight Great Lords were in different places, and the huge wealth, grain, cloth and livestock accumulated from generation to generation over the past hundreds of years were looted, and even all the granaries, arsenals, and workshops under the names of the imperial court and officials at all levels were also carried away, and as many as 20,000 craftsmen left their hometowns under the escort of the Qingzhou army's foot soldiers.

After this catastrophe, within a radius of 300 miles, with Anyi and Siyancheng as the center of Hedong County, Hedong County was full of desolation, and Hedong County, which had been famous for its power and wealth for hundreds of years, and stood majestically in natural and man-made disasters one after another, has since declined rapidly.

When tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops escorted a fully loaded convoy and more than 20,000 craftsmen for more than 50 miles to Shaanxi-Tianjin-Du, Liu Cun, the general of the Han Emperor's personal chariot and cavalry, who braved the world's disapproval, had already returned to Luoyang to deal with urgent affairs.

Due to the closure of the roads and the slow dissemination of news, the princes of all walks of life did not know what the war situation was at this time, let alone that the tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops who had returned triumphantly were busy day and night in Shaanxi and Tianjin, and the looted more than 3 billion yuan of money and materials, 3.5 million stone grain, more than 800,000 loads of salt, tens of millions of catties of copper and iron, more than 1.3 million silk cloth, more than 20,000 war horses, mules and horses, 7,000 ploughing cattle, more than 24,000 craftsmen and their 70,000 family dependents were constantly crossing the surging river to Luoyang.

Liu Cun, who returned to Luoyang in advance, refused to meet the angels Yang Biao and Zhao Qi, who were extremely shocked and thunderous, hid in the military camp in the west of the city, and urgently discussed with his henchmen and strategists who came in a hurry, how to face the sudden crisis in Xuzhou? How to deal with the plague that is spreading thousands of miles away in Yizhou, which has caused the death of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians? How to minimize the negative impact of the Great Plunder Hedong County? How to balance the abrupt change in foreign relations after the elimination of the White Polish Army?
