Chapter 12 Reasons to Keep Your Hair Short

Three hundred steps, marching in formation, the sword soldiers in front, Chen Qiong led the iron guards to follow, followed by the archers, and the spearmen followed. The order is in order, and the two sides of the strait are people who are sent away from the cottage.

"Go back, if there is no accident, you will be in Nilai during this time, and if there is a cottage at that time, you will definitely lead troops to help!" Chen Qiong straddled the horse and said loudly to the people who were sending each other on both sides of the road.

Leaving the mountainous area and leading his troops to reappear on the wasteland, Chen Qiong sighed in her heart, she first entered the mountainous area to take refuge, and there were only Ayu and Aniu by her side. When I came out at this time, there were more than 300 well-equipped parts around me. Finally has a little foundation, not a white body, Chen Qiong's horsewhip pointed forward, and said proudly, "Go, go to the county town, it's time for the husband to make contributions and protect the territory and the people!" ”

I went out of the mountain in the early morning and traveled until the afternoon, when I arrived outside the city of Runan, and at this time I could already encounter scattered villages. However, the Yellow Turban Army rose up and coerced the chaotic people, even the county town was broken by the Huang, and the villages outside the city were also ten rooms and nine empty at this time, and the population was sharply reduced, like a wasteland.

On the city wall, a crown on his head, two temples slightly white half a hundred old man, it is Runan Taishou Liu Yi, Liu Yi stood on the battlements, looked at the gradually approaching team in the distance, nodded and praised, "The march for most of the day, I can still keep the queue neat, advance and retreat to a certain degree, there is indeed the wind of a general, at the beginning of the season, such a person can help me quell the bandits in Runan, you should be the first to take the lead." ”

"Lord Taishou is polite, if you can quell the bandits in Runan, it should be that Lord Taishou uses people properly, Chen Qiong uses soldiers in a good way, and if you don't use your mouth, how dare you take credit?" Xun Shuo smiled and said politely.

Walking under the city gate, Liu Yi had already led the crowd out of the city to greet him.

"Brother Chen, why don't you meet Taishou?" At this time, Xun Shuo was standing behind Liu Yi and shouted loudly.

"Although I have been hiding in the mountains for a long time, I have heard the name of benevolence and generosity of Lord Taishou, and more than 300 people in Qiongbu have also admired the name of Taishou for a long time. Chen Qiong hurriedly took Zhou Cang and the others off the horse and saluted Liu Yi, very respectful.

"Haha, Ben Taishou also heard that Chen Duwei knew how to make good use of his soldiers, won more with less, and broke more than 500 mountain bandits with 100 troops, killing the enemy and taking the village as if he were idle. It is a blessing for Runan to be able to get Chen Duwei, and Ben Taishou has prepared a thin wine to wash the dust for Chen Duwei, and congratulate him on the joy of going to work today. Liu Yi enthusiastically stepped forward and grabbed Chen Qiong's arm and walked towards the city.

"Thank you Lord Taishou for your promotion and Brother Xun's recommendation." Chen Qiong looked flattered, but there was a chill in her heart, this Liu Taishou was too enthusiastic, and it felt awkward enough to be affectionately held by an old man who was over half a hundred years old, if it was placed in the future generations, it would definitely make people think that they were good friends and go together.

The wine has passed for thirty years, the food has passed five flavors, and the two sides are almost noisy. During the period, Liu Yi asked about family history and the like, and Chen Qiong easily dealt with it, and there were many people who died in these years, Chen Qiong said that he was an orphan, and it was impossible to find out the household registration system at this time.

"As the old saying goes, the body is skinned, the parents are received, and the beginning of filial piety is also, why doesn't Chen Duwei grow a bun?" Liu Yi is a well-known elder, known for benevolence, filial piety is the most basic virtue of a person, if Chen Qiong has unfilial piety, then no matter how talented he is, Liu Yi will not use such people.

"Back to Taishou, Joan's parents were coerced by the Yellow Turban Rebellion and died in the war. Qiong's hair bun was also destroyed in the war, and his father confessed that he was loyal to the country and was filial piety, so he ordered Qiong not to destroy the bandits, and swore not to accumulate hair. Chen Qiong looked sad and tried hard to squeeze out two tears, but she couldn't get them. Brother's short hair is clean and neat, and it is also an extremely popular inch in later generations, there is no head and shoulders in this era, and there is no fluttering softness, how can you have time to spend a lot of energy to clean your hair with such long hair?

"Coerced by the chaotic people, he can still have his heart to the Han family, which is the loyalty of his father, which is admirable." Liu Yi, Xun Shuo and others were all in awe.

Although Zhang Jiao and others were ambushed, there were still remnants of the Yellow Turban in various states and counties, and the counties of Yuzhou were especially prosperous in Runan. I listened to what Ji Chu said, Chen Duwei is resourceful and good at using soldiers, and I hope that Chen Duwei can help me to quell the bandits in Runan, and I and the people of Runan will be grateful. After speaking, Liu Yi actually got up and bent down to Chen Qiong.

This Liu Yi is really the same as the rumored benevolence and humility, and for him to be such a subordinate bag, it can be seen that he really has the people in his heart, in this troubled world, such a character is really valuable, Chen Qiong hurriedly got up and returned the salute and said, "Lord Taishou, this is unacceptable, since the Lord has already promoted a certain person to the imperial court as a cavalry captain, to protect the territory and the people, and to expel the bandits is the duty of a certain one." It is also the will of my father. As long as you can return Runan Qingping, even if you die on the battlefield, what are the regrets? ”

"With the help of Captain Chen, great things can be expected!" Liu Yi, Xun Shuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Taishou, there are a few strategies for the conquest and suppression of the rebels in Runan, but you need to prescribe the right medicine, and you still need to mention the situation of the rebellious army." Chen Qiong said.

"Captain Chen, please speak, as long as it helps to quell the chaos, I will be as good as a stream." Liu Yi couldn't wait to say that he had been at a loss for banditry, and this newly recruited Chen Qiong had a plan as soon as he came, if it was really useful, he would have found a treasure.

"Sun Tzu Day: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. I don't know the geometry of grain and grass in Runan, and the geometry of military strength? What is the strength of the rebel army? Can there be brave and good generals, but there are people who are good at planning and strategizing? ”

"There were originally 500,000 households and a population of more than 2.14 million in more than 30 counties in Runan, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population dropped sharply, and now the population of Runan County has dropped to more than 1.3 million. Among them, there are 210,000 county seats. The rest are distributed in various counties, and there are more than 12,000 defenders in the county town, and the grain stock is still sufficient, about 47,000 stones. It can support the whole army for more than several years. After Liu Yi reported these numbers, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "As for the chaotic army on the mountain, I don't know how many, among them, Bai Jue and Liu Shi are known as 50,000 people, and Ge Pi Shiguang is known as 100,000, and now the imperial court has ordered Bao Hong, a military captain, to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to conscript, but the two sides have been fighting fiercely for more than three months, and the stalemate has not been reached, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban have become more and more intense. The governor has ordered all counties to recruit troops and horses to fight the thieves. ”

"Lord Taishou, with all due respect, most of the people who are coerced by the rebellious army are hungry people. This is the root cause of the disaster, if the hungry people are not eliminated, the thieves will not stop, it is the old official army to recruit and suppress, a wave has not been settled, and a wave has risen. I think that if you want to quell the chaos, you must govern the military and attack the military. The literati, depending on the grain accumulation in the city, appeased the displaced people, and reclaimed the wasteland near the county town, so as to cut off the source of thieves and robbers, and educate them, so that they could distinguish between right and wrong and know the righteousness. If the court has the heart to appease the people and sympathize with the national strength, it should be based on literature and supplemented by martial arts. In less than three years, the thief can be flat. Chen Qiong pondered her words for a while, and secretly felt that her skills in speaking classical Chinese had become more and more profound recently.

"Good, but the current chaos is big, what can I do?" Liu Yi asked again, Wenzhi is not able to work all at once, and the top priority is to remove the threat of the Yellow Turban remnants to the county town.

"Lord Taishou, a certain soldier is only three soldiers, and there will be no more than one member, and there are really few soldiers, and I ask Lord Taishou to allow a certain recruit to buy horses, and within a month, he will go to the thief." Chen Qiong said.

Liu Yi said, "With my warrant, you can receive 1,000 stones, grain and grass, 50 horses, 100 armor, 500 shields, swords, guns, arrows, and halberds. ”

"If Chen Qiong doesn't die, he will not let the rebellious army take a step beyond the thunder pool." Chen Qiong got up and stood up and saluted Liu Yi heavily, Sister Ni, after staying up in the mountains for so long, it took three hundred parts to accumulate, which is not as good as this Runan Taishou mouth, it is really a good shade under the big tree. With Liu Yi's promise, Chen Qiong was overjoyed, and it seemed that the conquest of the Three Kingdoms had a little more strength.

"It's rare that Chen Duwei has such a loyal and brave heart, and with Chen Duwei here, he can ensure that the county town is worry-free." Xun Shuo smiled at the right time.
