Chapter 7: Prisoners of War

The wind was still cold, and the fire was raging.

The eight members of the Yang family in the field were surrounded by the remaining hundreds of yellow turban thieves, although they were injured, but they were not fatal.

The eight Yang family generals continued to rush towards the positions of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, surrounded by corpses, and many servants of the Liu family also began to attack the Yellow Turban Thief, and under the internal and external attacks, the Yellow Turban Thief could only be exhausted.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who were the leaders, were already a little timid, and Yang Ye only made Zhou Cang fall from his horse with only two moves, and his martial bravery was already terrifying to the thieves, so the two began to slowly gather the remaining soldiers and prepare to retreat

And the two sides of Wenpin and Ji Ling are still facing each other.

Ji Ling had just reached an agreement with the Yellow Turban, and he was destroyed, and he was not a taste in his heart, but at this time, he saw that those generals came and went freely among the thousands of people, destroying his opportunity to rob people, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to have the slightest other thoughts because of the Wen Ping and the cavalry opposite.

At the same time, Wen Ping resolutely attacked, and with an order, nearly 100 cavalry rushed directly to Ji Ling's remaining dozens of light cavalry; Ji Ling, who already had the intention of retreating, saw this situation and knew that the mission had failed, so he could only turn his horse and retreat and leave.

Ji Ling retreated, the yellow turban was naturally not worried, Wen Ping didn't say a word, took the remaining elite horses, rushed to the dense place of the yellow turban, and killed it all over the place after a few back and forth, Pei Yuanshao saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about Zhou Cang, who was still swept to the ground, and directly led the gathered stragglers and slipped away

After Liu Xiu in the forest saw that the situation was stable, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: this crisis has finally passed, and the next thing is to go to Xiangyang to live a good life.

Regarding Liu Xiu's bold words of 'fate is not up to me, luck will win the day' one moment, and the next moment it has become a lazy and relaxed mentality, Liu Bowen saw it in his eyes, but his heart was helpless: his lord obviously hasn't put his mentality right.

Immediately afterwards, the three sons of the Liu family naturally appeared, and Liu Xiu went over with Liu Qi and Liu Cong to appease the generals.

When he came to Wen Ping, Liu Qi bent down and said, "Thank you General Wen for my brother's life!" Liu Xiu naturally bent down to thank him.

Only Liu Cong followed behind Liu Qi and did not see any action, even if Liu Qi made small actions to persuade him, it did not work; Liu Cong even raised his head arrogantly and said: "General Wenpin, you are so slow, like this, when will you go to Xiangyang to see your father, I heard that my father is going to marry his wife again, and it will definitely be lively at that time."

"Third brother!" Liu Qi drank and stopped Liu Cong's words.

Liu Qi turned his head and immediately bowed to Wen Ping, and said: "The third brother is young, and he doesn't know how important he is, don't blame General Wen!" ”

"It doesn't matter, this is the last general's business." Wen Ping didn't mind the expression on his face, just hugged his fists and said in return.

"That's it!" Liu Cong is still underestimated.

According to the memory of his predecessor Liu Xiu, he has not been looked at by these two brothers since he was a child, and he has only watched the respective performances of the two brothers from beginning to end: Liu Qi is older, knows how to advance and retreat, and attracts talents; And Liu Cong has developed an arrogant temper since he was a child, and no one pays attention to him, let alone his titular second brother, and the Wenpin who has just met a few times.

As for Liu Xiu himself, he has neither reputation nor identity, so naturally he will not do that thing to win over

At this time, Yang Ye and the others also dismounted, Liu Qi and Wen Ping immediately greeted them, bent down again, and said: "Thank you for saving this strong man, otherwise we will not be lucky!" ”

Yang Ye naturally returned the salute and said: "There is no need to be polite, the ant thieves are so rampant and dare to block the road and rob, Yang will naturally not be polite to him, and it is just a meeting with you." ”

"In any case, I still have to thank the strong man," Liu Qi still thanked him, and then asked: "I don't know what to call this strong man?" Where is home? Where do you want to go? ”

Yang Ye and a few talented martial arts, Liu Qi looked at his eyes, his heart was hot, naturally he was planning to recruit his subordinates, and last night he saw Liu Xiu's Keqing so resourceful, and his heart was naturally jealous and envious.

When Yang Ye heard this, he introduced: "A certain Yang Ye, a cursive word successor, Taiyuan people, this is my wife, surnamed She Saihua, this is my son, Dalang Yang Tai grass word Yanping, Erlang Yang Yong grass word Yanding, this is my daughter-in-law Hua, Zhou, Geng, Zou." Yang Ye paused, and then said: "The north is now full of princes, and there are many wars, I heard that Jingzhou has been pacified by Lord Liu Jingsheng, so I moved my family to Jingzhou, and wanted to join Liu Jingzhou's command. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he was immediately surprised: "It turns out that the general wants to join my father's command, that's really good, so I'm going on the same road, okay?"

Listening to Yang Ye's words, Wen Ping was also quite surprised: this mighty general actually wanted to be a minister in the same palace with him.

And Yang Ye listened to what Liu Qi said, and immediately gave a salute, and said with a surprised face: "It was Liu Jingzhou's son in person, I don't know it, it's rude, forgive me." ”

Everyone exchanged a few words, and finally remembered the yellow turban captive and the black-faced Zhou Cang, only to see everyone frowning and looking at him.

That Zhou Cang couldn't stand everyone's eyes, and shouted directly: "Since I have been captured by you, I want to kill or chop, listen to it."

"Hurry up and kill it directly, my son is still in a hurry to see his father!" Liu Cong, who was behind everyone, said urgently.

Hearing this, everyone frowned even more, and they could kill flies.

The Yellow Turban thieves on the side hurriedly knelt down, crying and shouting: "I'm waiting for the surrender, I'm waiting for the surrender, don't kill me, the adults spare their lives" Hundreds of people directly quarreled.

"Why don't you kill it?" Liu Qi also asked rhetorically, he really couldn't think of a better way, so many people, take them away for fear of trouble, drive away for fear of bad things, can only kill the best.

When the ant thieves heard this, they cried even louder.

"If you massacre the captives like this, you will break out in the future, but you are afraid of ruining your reputation." Although Wen Ping didn't mind the massacre, the killing of prisoners didn't have a good reputation for him, so he made a suggestion.

"If you can't kill it, what should you do with it?" Liu Qi asked bluntly.

Everyone discussed for a long time but there was no result, at this time, Liu Xiu on the side really couldn't stand it, stood up, and said: "These yellow scarves are just made by farmers, why kill them, what can you do if you let them go?" ”

In Liu Xiu's opinion, no matter how much this person says, it is his life, and when he thinks of the total population of the country at the end of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xiu can't kill these thin farmers, so he bluntly suggests releasing them.

It's just that as soon as he said this, Liu Qi and Wen Ping all looked at him strangely, this yellow scarf and the Liu family have a deep hatred, they really didn't expect Liu Xiu to suggest releasing him.

And although Liu Cong was only seven or eight years old, he spoke amazingly and blamed: "Second brother, are you stupid?" This group of ant thieves is just cheap, just kill it, why pity; If you let him go, it will come to rob me again one day, are you responsible, second brother!? ”

Liu Qi already looked down on Liu Xiu's background, and at this time he obviously opposed Liu Xiu's suggestion, but nodded in support of Liu Cong, and looked at Liu Xiu strangely and asked, "Second brother, how can you suggest it like this?" ”

"Yang also thinks that this yellow turban thief is just a farmer, and it may be better to let him go back to his hometown to farm and persuade him to be kind, and this thief's first Zhou Cang is quite brave, but he can be tied up, and he will deal with it after asking Liu Jingzhou, what do you think?"

Although the two brothers Liu Qi were angry in their hearts about this fierce general surnamed Yang speaking out in support of Liu Xiu, after all, he had just finished the old days, so he said: "Since Yang Zhuang also thinks so, why don't you follow the words of the strong man and only arrest the head of the thief, and let the rest of the people disarm and return to the field?" ”

The people agreed to act on this law, and then they packed up a little and marched on the road

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Liu Xiu didn't expect that this General Yang Ye would have such a side, it was really exquisite. In fact, it was Liu Xiu who ignored the fact that this Yang Ye had also experienced all kinds of open and secret battles in the court in his previous life, although he no longer remembered those histories, but the experience was still there.

Looking at the popular Yang Ye and others, and at himself who had been neglected, as well as his words that were not adopted, Liu Xiu suddenly sighed: It turns out that no matter where you go, power, status, ability, and reputation are extremely important. At this moment, Liu Xiu swore that in the near future, he must sweep all directions and royal **; sit on top of 10,000 people and be worshiped by all directions; A word, all parties are convinced, a word is finished, and the world obeys.

Liu Xiu's expression changed repeatedly, Liu Bowen naturally saw it all in his eyes, and now he only hoped that his lord would no longer be hot for three minutes, and he could truly understand his mission.
