People are valuable in self-knowledge, and they are more valuable when they are rarely supplemented. He saw that the desperate Gongsun Fan was going to come and fight with him, and unceremoniously gave an opportunity to "make great contributions and catch big fish" to the five thousand good brothers behind him who had been idle for two years, this "noble sentiment" is really admirable!

It's not that Xian Yufu is afraid of death, and it's not that he is afraid of Gongsun Fan. To be honest, with the sturdiness of the armor on Xian Yufu's body, the excellence of the war horse under his crotch, and the assistance of a full set of horse harnesses, he is really not afraid of Gongsun Fan fighting with him, it's just a matter of effort. As long as he doesn't encounter 10,000 enemies like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Xian Yufu can still resist for a while.

The reason why I want to use an excuse to have diarrhea and flash people is to save time. He originally thought that he would be able to scare Gongsun Fan with a loud shout, and then he would not continue to pursue Gongsun Fan, as long as he captured these soldiers back to Nanpi and moved the wealth accumulated by Gongsun Chan back to Nanpi.

What kind of ability is it to catch a miscellaneous fish? It would be interesting to let this cargo flee to Tian Kai in Qingzhou, and when the time comes, let him compete with Tian Kai for military power, and Bohai County will not be threatened by Qingzhou for the time being, and he can concentrate on dealing with the attack of Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Xian Yufu had already received a secret report that Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi was leading an army of 20,000 to the east, and it seemed that the target was Nanpi. The Xiandeng camp under Lu Yi is not a joke, Xian Yufu once heard Zhang He personally say that the first camp had a draw with the halberd warriors under Gaoyi City, so he is now in a hurry to rush back to Nanpi for deployment and prepare to meet Lu Yi.

Since Gongsun Fan had to seek death, Xian Yufu fulfilled his wish.

After the 5,000 cavalry trampled the unlucky Gongsun Fan into pulp, they quickly surrounded Liu Weitai and all the miscellaneous soldiers who escaped, and then shouted in unison: "Lord Taifu is merciful, he never kills prisoners, and when you put down your weapons, you can live!" ”

Without waiting for the Youzhou cavalry to shout a second time, seventy percent of the soldiers in the encirclement laid down their weapons. And the remaining thirty percent didn't have a weapon in their hands at all!

Liu Yu's good reputation for not killing surrendered soldiers is well-known, I think that back then, even the 50,000 troops under Zhang Chun, who claimed to be the emperor, Liu Yu did not kill them, but left them in Youzhou, part of them turned into border people, and some of them turned into soldiers under his command. Liu He and his father Liu Yu seem to have a soft spot for surrendering troops, and there has never been a scandal of him abusing and killing surrendering troops in the past few years.

Now that the Gongsun clan has all died, the soldiers have lost their masters, who can barely be called allegiances, when facing the murderous Youzhou cavalry. He really wanted to be a soldier.

Liu Weitai, who was hiding among the soldiers, was pulled out by several bold surrenderers, and Xian Yufu did not move, but just asked people to watch him, and then ordered the surrenderers to move all the belongings removed from Nanpi City back as they were. Xian Yufu heard that Liu Weitai was a diviner, maybe after sending him to Jicheng, the eldest prince could still come in handy.

Two days later, Xian Yufu led his army back to Nanpi, followed by 5,000 surrendered troops.

Liu Zheng, who has been stationed in Nanpi, is not a mediocre talent, and he has replaced Liu Bei in Anping in the past two years. According to Liu He's instructions, he did a lot of things, not only stabilized the people in Anping, but also operated the Xindu City on a large scale, and initially realized the idea of a free trade zone set by Liu He.

If you talk about Liu Zheng's ability. may not be as good as Li Yan, but compared with Han Heng and others, it is not bad.

Xian Yufu led the cavalry to pursue Gongsun Fan first, and Liu Zheng then moved Beipi City to a fine light with 5,000 infantry and the porters he recruited. By the way, he also brought all the residents of the city with him, and then stationed in the empty Nanpi City together.

The first thing Liu Zheng did after the process was to put up notices to reassure the people everywhere and send eloquent soldiers to the streets to carry out propaganda. So that the frightened people in the city would know that these soldiers and horses who had newly entered the city would not only not disturb the people, would not arrest Dingraff, or plunder the people's property, but would also protect the safety of the people in the city and maintain order in the city.

Don't look at Xian Yufu's personal force value, but the military discipline of the troops he brought out is not sloppy at all, especially in ensuring the discipline of the masses, and he has never relaxed. The 5,000 infantry who accompanied Liu He into the city, in accordance with Liu Zheng's instructions, immediately cleaned up the garbage in the city and inspected all the warehouses and cellars, including the underground tunnels that might lead to the outside of the city.

Of the 5,000 soldiers, not a single one disturbed the people in the city, and order was in order.

On the first day Liu Zheng entered the city, he counted the total number of people in the city, cleaned up the garbage that had accumulated in the city for many days, sent troops to the head of the city to guard, and patrolled at night.

On the second day of Liu Zheng's entry into the city, he asked his soldiers to go door to door to deliver a few pieces of grain and some belongings to the people in the city, asking for wood and bricks that were not used in their homes. The common people in Nanpi City have never seen soldiers who carry things to their homes to exchange wood and masonry, and they have some trembling to collect food and property, and then carry all the wooden blocks, bricks and stones that are not used at home to the city of Nanpi.

On the third day of Liu Zheng's entry into the city, he recruited a small number of masonry craftsmen in the city to go to the city to guide the soldiers to strengthen the walls of Nanpi and the defenses of each gate, and make wooden rolling stones for smashing people.

On the fourth day, when Xian Yufu returned to Nanpi with the team, Liu Zheng had already taken initial control of the county town, which surprised Xian Yufu.

When Xian Yufu left, he just entrusted Liu Zheng to help bring 5,000 infantry into Nanpi City, but he didn't expect Liu Zheng to take the initiative to do so many things. Liu Zheng served as the minister of Anping, and in terms of rank, he was also a county guard, which was not lower than him, the general who led the army, so Xian Yufu could not give Liu Zheng a direct order.

There is accurate information that Lu Yi led the army to pass through Xiuxian, and the army will be under Nanpi City in five days. Xian Yufu didn't have time to be polite with Liu Zheng, he handed over Nanpi's internal affairs and logistics and military affairs to Liu Zheng, but he plunged into the barracks.

Liu Zheng caused a bit of pressure on Xian Yufu, he was a little proud because he caught 5,000 soldiers and captured a lot of property, but after returning to Nanpi to see Liu Zheng's methods, he found that he was not complacent. Xian Yufu now finally knows that everyone doesn't eat dry rice, everyone has a few brushes, if they are complacent, maybe one day they will be thrown out of Lu and go to a few streets.

Xian Yufu selected hundreds of ordinary soldiers from among the soldiers who had been transferred from Gongsun Zhan's army, and then told them that they were ready to be promoted, and these subordinates were naturally overjoyed. Xian Yufu carefully asked how they were transformed from the surrender by Xu Miao in the first place, and these soldiers are now elevated, and they all told Xian Yufu about their original psychological change process.

The next day, Xian Yufu Guozhen announced in public the promotion of a group of soldiers with meritorious combat services to the rank of captain and chief, and the promotion of a group of captain and chief to the commander of the team and the commander.

Then, Xian Yufu appointed these newly promoted small leaders to disperse in the barracks, and let them do the work of transforming soldiers. Xian Yufu said clearly, whoever has the ability to transform and win over more troops, then lead more troops, and those who don't have the ability deserve to have no one under them!

None of these newly promoted military leaders wanted to be bare-bones, so they did everything they could, knowing how they were captured in the first place, how they were later transformed, and how they were promoted and reused after the transformation.

Zhao Dabao, the tun chief who had just been promoted, said to Li Ergou, a fellow villager in Zhangwu County: "Brother Ergou, look at what you are wearing!" Look at the military uniform my brother and I am wearing, and look at my brother's good horse in Mobei, envy it? Let me tell you, this time you didn't run to Qingzhou and we were caught, that's your fate, do you know it? When I was caught, I also looked like a dead mother, but later I found out that I was a mallet! ”

"Brother Dabao, why did you become a mallet?" Li Ergou was holding a big earthen bowl in his hand, and he didn't care about sucking the porridge and rice in the bowl, and asked with a snot snort.

"You're such a great mallet! I behaved just like you at the time, not very active, crying and wanting to go home and farm, but when I agreed, I was not an activist, and it turned out that it was not the first wave of promotion. Do you know that our group of people who were taken prisoner at the beginning have now done the best job and have been promoted to captains! Do you know what to do? I can bring a thousand brothers with me! ”

Li Ergou scratched his head and said with some excitement: "Okay, then I'll join too!" But I'll follow you, Brother Dabao, when the time comes. ”

All of this, to put it bluntly, is in full swing a large-scale conquest campaign to persuade soldiers.

The effect of this statement was not trivial, and the 5,000 soldiers who were worried about the way out expressed their willingness to join the new ranks, and after a day passed, Xian Yufu's men had more than 3,000 soldiers.

The remaining more than 1,000 people were forcibly captured and stuffed into the army, and they were worried about going home to farm, and Xian Yufu did not force them, clearly telling them that it was okay to go home and farm, but it would be after the end of the Nanpi war. Before that, everyone had to stay in the city, boil water and cook for the army, carry heavy loads, and assist the troops in defending the city.

After expanding the size of the troops, Xian Yufu seized the time to adjust the organization of the troops, and tried his best to break up these newly recruited troops and distribute them to various cantonments, so as to avoid the difficulty of managing them after they were gathered, and also to realize that the old ones should lead the new ones and the strong ones to lead the weak, and the combat effectiveness of the troops would not be significantly reduced.

In addition to adjusting and organizing troops, Xian Yufu also organized soldiers to conduct drills for defending the city, and let the soldiers be divided into several teams, taking advantage of the fact that Lu Yi was not yet under the city, half of them were at the head of the city and half were outside the city, so as to cooperate with the attack and defense.

Time flew by in the separate actions of Xian Yufu and Liu Zheng, and a few days later, a large army with a strong weather finally arrived outside the west gate of Nanpi City.

Koji Yi, here it is.

Looking at the Nanpi city wall, which was obviously temporarily raised, and the soldiers defending the city standing quietly at the head of the city, Lu Yi couldn't help frowning.

The situation in Nanpi City was more troublesome than he had imagined. (To be continued......)
