Chapter 285: Extinguishing the Yellow Turban
Zhang Jiao was shocked, who is Li Qin, of course he knows, in the current Han Dynasty, there are not many people who don't know who the emperor is, but a lot, but there are not many people who don't know who Li Qin is, not very few, but quite few, as the leader of the Yellow Turban, how can he not know who Li Qin is!
But in Zhang Jiao's impression, he only heard that Li Qin had a blue face and fangs, hideous and terrifying, ate the heart of a baby every day, and practiced an evil witchcraft, even the great wizard of the Huns was not as evil as Li Qin, of course, this was said by Li Qin's enemies; If it is Li Qin's own person speaking, then Li Qin is a golden helmet and golden armor, with a glorious image, standing up to the sky, his face is full of purple gas, and there are auspicious clouds on his head.
However, no matter which way it is said, it is different from the appearance of the person who called himself Li Qin in front, the person in front is just a young man, not mighty, not handsome, if it is not for the armor on his body, and a large group of generals behind him, then he can only be regarded as a very ordinary young man, and he does not look like a god or a wizard at all, could it be that this person has a duplicate name, or is it a fake?
Obviously, neither is it! Because, the Li Qin in front of him acted very decisively and very simply, but he just said hello, and without waiting for Zhang Jiao to answer, he saw Li Qin wave his hand and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
It doesn't matter who you are, when you are alive, I don't say anything to you, because my purpose is very clear, I just want your life, and it doesn't matter what else you love!
With this order, the horn soldiers behind Li Qin tore off their bows and arrows together, and shot at the Yellow Turban soldiers! What kind of exchanging names, righteous and awe-inspiring preaching, reprimanding the other party's mistakes, and then the generals of each faction go head-to-head, beating drums and cheering, etc., and so on, all of them are exempted, and they will be ruthless when they meet, and if they want your life, they will want your life, where is there so much nonsense!
The rain of arrows roared, and the Yellow Turban soldiers immediately fell in pieces, the front was too dead and wounded, and the rear was chaotic in an instant!
The Yellow Turban soldiers who have fled here with Zhang Jiao are naturally elite, and their weapons and equipment are quite complete, but in any case, the Yellow Turban soldiers are not regular troops after all, they have not received formal military training, and compared with ordinary Yellow Turbans, they are elite troops, but compared with the real elite Fujiao Army, then they can only be arrow targets!
The Yellow Turban soldiers faced the sudden feather arrows, they didn't even have the ability to fight back, they shouted and retreated, some people could raise their shields to block it, but the vast majority of people were shot over in the face, and those who rode on the horse died the fastest, and those who lay on the ground died a little slower, but they could only die a little slower, but they were going to die in the end!
Zhang Jiao's reaction was not fast enough, he was not a battle-hardened general, and he had no experience in escaping death, for the sudden long-distance attack of the regular army, this was the first time he encountered it in his life, and it was also the last time he encountered it!
Hundreds of feather arrows are fired at the same time at the same time, and the accurate salvo is fired at the same target, which is one of the regular training of the Fujiao cavalry.
Porphyry ...... The arrow entered the flesh, the muffled sound was endless, poor Zhang Jiao's generation of Taiping Dao Heavenly Master, and the Tiangong General of the Yellow Turban Army, did not even have a chance to answer that he was Zhang Jiao, or did not have a chance to deny that he was Zhang Jiao, he was shot into a hedgehog, all over his body, full of feather arrows, even the personal soldiers around him, all became hedgehogs, blink of an eye, with Zhang Jiao as the center, three zhang as the radius of the ground, all snow-white arrow feathers, people in the circle, all dead, none of them survived!
Zhang Jiao died instantly, but because he died too quickly, so the Yellow Turban soldiers behind didn't know, a round of arrow rain survived, screaming and pounced, of course, those who dare to rebel are outlaws, dare to rebel to the end, that is the outlaws among the outlaws, theoretically speaking, this kind of people have no way to surrender, the history of the late Han Dynasty has also proved that these hardcore Yellow Turbans are indeed unable to surrender, otherwise the Yellow Turban Rebellion will not continue for many years, causing a major loss to the productivity of the late Han Dynasty that cannot be recovered for decades!
Li Qin is very sympathetic to the Yellow Turbans, and he is also willing to pardon the ordinary Yellow Turbans, but the hardcore Yellow Turbans forget it, not to mention anything else, these irons coerce ordinary people and force ordinary people to join the Yellow Turbans, no matter what the starting point is, the consequences of the destruction of the family are caused by them, since they have to resolutely fight to the end, then they can only deal with it strictly!
After a rain of arrows, another round, and then another...... The Fujiao army has always been unwilling to pull the bow away, and it will not stop! However, in half an hour, tens of thousands of feather arrows were shot over, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who fled here with Zhang Jiao were shot to the point that only three or four hundred people remained, these people were all at the rear, even if they were out of range, if they were within range, they would have already accompanied Zhang Jiao to see Huang Tian!
No matter how hardcore the Yellow Turban soldiers in the rear are, even if they refuse to surrender, but the battle situation in front of them is that they can't hold on no matter what, don't say they, even the Yulin Army can't hold on, unilateral slaughter, no Yellow Turban soldier can stand up!
With a shout, the Yellow Turban soldiers in the rear turned their horses' heads and ran to the back road like crazy, they didn't care about General Tiangong, there was no one alive in front, presumably General Tiangong had already died, and it would not be too late to avenge his great revenge in the future, now they have to leave their surnames, the dead can't take revenge, they have to live first!
Li Qin looked at the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers, sighed, and said: "No one dismounted and surrendered, it seems that Zhang Jiao's brainwashing ability is really not small, admirable, I sigh to myself!" ”
Dian Wei said: "Young master, what is this saying, a thief, how can you admire it, wait for his subordinates to cut off his head, send it back to Luoyang to the little emperor, and get some rewards back by the way!" As he spoke, he was about to step forward, find Zhang Jiao, and cut off Zhang Jiao's head.
Li Qin waved his hand and said, "Wait, don't be like this!" He stopped Dian Wei and said, "If you cut off Zhang Jiao's head like this, then maybe there will be trouble." Do you think, there are so many Yellow Turban Thieves, there are all over the place, if someone wants to use the name of Zhang Jiao, and then pull the flag to rebel, get a fake Zhang Jiao to come out as the leader, and continue to recruit Yellow Turban Thieves, then wouldn't the war last for a long time? This question needs to be carefully considered! ”
This situation is very common, in fact, after Zhang Jiao died of illness, the Yellow Turban generals did not make it public for a period of time at the beginning, but kept it secret for a period of time, and only for a short period of time, the Yellow Turban Army did not collapse, and the Yellow Turban Army was still rebelling everywhere, until a few months or even a year later, the Yellow Turban soldiers knew that Zhang Jiao was indeed dead, but the Yellow Turban forces in various places have become a climate, and if they want to collapse again, it will take a long time, and then rebel, only in strength, what is so difficult?
Dian Wei sighed, he turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Jia Xu, maybe he was busy with other things, Jia Xu is a civil official, he doesn't need to go to the battlefield, no one is talking, he feels very lonely, and said: "It would be good if Lao Jia was here, he has the most ghost ideas!" ”
While he was talking, the Fujiao soldiers who rushed over to arrest the fleeing Yellow Turbans came back with a team, and returned a cart and dozens of prisoners, and the general who led the troops said: "Lord Wang, I found the car in the back, asked the prisoners, and said that the sick ghost in here is Zhang Bao, count his fate, the carriage is behind, he was not shot, but looking at his appearance, it seems that he will not live long!" ”
Li Qin smiled and said: "Zhang Jiao is dead, Zhang Bao is still alive, that Guan Hai is useless enough, he can't stab people to death!" "He didn't see Guan Hai, who surrendered, but he saw Zhang Bao, who absolutely refused to surrender!
Stepping forward, the Fujiao soldier opened the car door, Li Qin looked in, and saw a person lying inside, covered with a big quilt, it seemed to be Zhang Bao! Li Qin got off the horse, got into the car and gave Zhang Bao a pulse, and checked the injury, then said: "There is too much blood loss, and the wound is very deep, but if you make great efforts to treat it, your surname will be worry-free, but in the future, the disease will continue, and I am afraid that it will not be very comfortable to live, but there is no problem in living for three or five years!" ”
At this time, another horn soldier came to report, saying that he had found Zhang Jiao, but he was shot all over the body, and even seven or eight arrows were shot in the face.
Li Qin only glanced at the corpse in Zhang Jiao, and then stopped looking at it, people die like lights going out, no matter how important it is when they are alive, they are a corpse when they die, and there is nothing worth looking at.
After thinking about it, Li Qin said to Dian Wei: "I don't want this Yellow Turban Rebellion to be suppressed like this, it's much easier than I imagined!" ”
Dian Wei smiled and said: "Young master, I don't think it's simple, this corner has caused a big mess in the east, and even Emperor Yanjing is angry, and he transferred us from Xiliang, how can it be said that it is simple!" ”
Li Qin thought to himself: "If you know the Yellow Turban Army in history, then you really think that the current battle situation is going well!" He said: "Just now I was thinking about how to sweep away the yellow turbans everywhere, but now there is a way!" ”
He pointed to Zhang Jiao's corpse on the ground and said, "We can say that Zhang Jiao was seriously ill, and before he died, he took the initiative to surrender and was willing to submit to the imperial court......"
Dian Wei was in a hurry and said: "Young master, then we will not have the power to suppress it, and if we don't have it, we will not be rewarded!" ”
Li Qin waved his hand and said: "Don't be so petty, just a few achievements, don't take it to heart, it's not easy to be rewarded!" He added: "Because Zhang Jiao repented, the imperial court decided to pardon all those who rebelled with him, everyone is not guilty, and Taiping Dao does not need to be canceled for the time being, everyone can continue to believe, but this Zhang Tianshi, but Zhang Bao has to do it!" In this way, we have controlled Zhang Bao, and if the Yellow Turban soldiers in various places want to continue to pull the Yellow Turban banner, they must first submit to the imperial court, that is, to obey us, if not, then they are not the Yellow Turbans, but they are not the Yellow Turbans, so the leaders of the generous and small parties in various places can still command them? ”
This method has been used in all dynasties and generations, even in foreign countries, and since it cannot be comprehensively suppressed, it is better to make something legal, and then put it in the hands of the ruling class and use it by the rulers!
After hearing this, Dian Wei understood it for a long time, and said with surprise and joy: "The young master is really the young master, he is really a wise and martial artist!" ”
"Ha, you're going to be a sycophant too, but the tricks are too clumsy, I know you're flattering as soon as I hear it!" Li Qin said with a smile.
Dian Wei said again: "Then who will take care of Zhang Bao, the new Heavenly Master?" ”
"Guan Hai!" Li Qin is categorical.
