Liu Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "I have forgotten that my nephew is one of the richest people in the world. ”

Liu Ze smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, now in troubled times, all industries are withering, and my little nephew's business is all closed, and I can't open the pot to feed such a large group of people." ”

"The virtuous nephew has made great achievements for Youzhou, and Youzhou will definitely not treat the virtuous nephew badly. In this way, the virtuous nephew will first report the list of casualties, and the compassionate money will naturally come from the state capital, and as for the reward of the virtuous nephew, I will immediately report to the court, and I believe that there will be results in the near future. Liu Ze was able to retreat from the Yellow Turban Thief, Liu Yu was naturally overjoyed, and he really didn't care how much money he spent.

Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "That's not necessary, there are only a few people in this battle, so there is no need to bother my uncle." ”

In a word, Lei De Liu Yu and a group of officials and squires were too shocking, 500 people against 50,000 people, nearly 10,000 enemies were killed, and there were no casualties. Originally, Liu Yu thought that Liu Ze broke the enemy was close to a myth, and he also paid a heavy price for casualties, but now Liu Ze actually said lightly that only a few people were slightly injured, how could he not be surprised, such a record, I am afraid that it is unprecedented in history.

"This is not a place to speak, I have arranged a feast for the virtuous nephew in the city, and invite the virtuous nephew to sit down with the five hundred warriors." Today's success is over, and the celebration wine is inevitable.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness, it's just that although the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and scattered, it is very likely to make a comeback, and the little nephew is willing to lead the troops to guard Lousang Village to resist the enemy army." The reason why Liu Ze is reluctant to enter the city is that his cavalry is too strong, although Liu Yu, as a humble elder, may not have the heart to covet it, but it is inevitable that other people will be greedy and tempted him, just in case he still does not enter the city.

Don't drive Zhao Caidao: "Liu Gongzi is too worried, the head of the thief has been removed, and the remaining Yellow Turban Yu Kou Qunlong has no leader, it is difficult to become a climate, Liu Gongzi is the protagonist of today's celebration banquet, how can he be absent?" ”

Liu Ze couldn't refuse, and ordered Guan Hai to lead his troops to Lousang Village to garrison, and he and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the city with Liu Yu.

When the people in the city heard that the hero of the Yellow Turban had returned, they greeted each other on the road, burned incense and kowtowed, and the road was jammed, and the people were enthusiastic and shouted Liu Ze's name. Such a courtesy really flattered Liu Ze, and he was humble.

Liu Yu laughed and said: "Don't be humble to the virtuous nephew, Zhuojun will be spared the suffering of the war, and it is reasonable for the people to be grateful to Dade, and the virtuous nephew can accept it calmly." ”

Today's celebration banquet is jointly funded by the gentry and wealthy businessmen in Zhuojun City, because Liu Ze's battle saved Zhuojun City from the disaster of war, and the assets of these rich people have been preserved, they are naturally grateful, and this celebration banquet is even more dedicated. Everyone gathered around Liu Ze and sat in the chief, Liu Ze resigned, but had to sit in the first place, Liu Yu accompanied him in the main seat, and other civil and military officials, squires and rich men sat separately.

As soon as Fang sat down, Liu Yu picked up the wine bottle and said: "Yan Zhao has been a generous and tragic person since ancient times, and today's virtuous nephew led five hundred horsemen to break the yellow scarf, which is enough to leave a name in history." This first cup of wine, on behalf of the people of Zhuo County, the people of Youzhou to pay tribute to the virtuous nephew, if it were not for the virtuous nephew, today's Zhuo County City is devastated, miserable, the virtuous nephew this achievement, shocking tears, the people of Youzhou are grateful to Dade, and will never forget. ”

Liu Zeqian couldn't give in, so he had to drink this cup full. Then people took turns to toast Liu Ze, and the beautiful words were like the flooding of the Yellow River. Liu Ze was actually most annoyed by these words, but because of Liu Yu's face, he just barely coped with it, but he also drank a lot of wine, and couldn't help but be a little drunk. Zhang Fei drank even more, but Guan Yu never drank more.

Liu Yu asked Liu Ze with great interest about the details of the battle, and Liu Ze reported the truth, but he kept the matter of releasing the prisoners privately. Everyone listened to Liu Ze's narration with great interest, and from time to time let out exclamations, and Zou Jing lost no time in talking about the scene of rivers of blood flowing on the battlefield and floating corpses in the Laishui River, and everyone listened to it as if they were fascinated.

One of them frowned slightly, but it was Gong Cao who was engaged in Cheng Xu, and said slowly: "Liu Gongzi has beheaded a lot in this battle, but he has not captured a single person, which seems a little unreasonable. ”

Liu Ze was shocked, this Cheng Xu is also a good person, and he actually saw some clues, if the yellow turban captives were released privately and let the court know, then it would be okay, not to mention that Liu Ze released 30,000 people as soon as he released them, if he really let the court know, it would definitely be a capital crime.

However, Liu Zeke was silent, and said: "Cheng Zhi didn't know, there were only 500 people below, if it wasn't for the ambush, he would definitely not be able to defeat the 50,000 troops of the Yellow Turbans, as soon as the thief died, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, and there was a gap to take advantage of, but the number of Yellow Turban soldiers in the rout was mostly large, and the troops were not enough to encircle and annihilate, so they could only chase one and kill one by one, even if they had the opportunity to capture alive, they would not dare to capture alive, the original strength was already stretched, if they sent troops out to guard the prisoners, this battle really couldn't be fought." ”

Zou Jing has always been at odds with Cheng Xu, and said: "It is a miracle that Liu Gongzi broke 50,000 yellow scarves with 500 people, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is very dangerous to leave one more alive under the enemy's outnumber, how can pedantic literati understand?" ”

Cheng Xu couldn't help but be angry, but he was not good at military affairs, so he retorted wordlessly, and snorted heavily.

Liu Yu came out to play a round and said: "Today is a banquet to celebrate, you don't have to argue, whether it is to kill the enemy or capture the enemy, it can solve the danger of my Youzhou, Runde is a great contribution, everyone toasts and drinks together, and congratulates the great victory of Daxing Mountain." ”

The banquet did not disperse until the second watch, almost all of them were drunk, but the excitement did not decrease at all, some people even sang loudly, wanton and rampant, but Liu Yu did not prohibit it, today Youzhou is a day of great joy and celebration, even if someone is profligate Liu Yu does not mind.

After the banquet, Liu Yu arranged for Liu Ze, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to rest in the back hall of the Zhuojun Mansion. Zhang Fei was drunk, but Guan Yu and Liu Ze carried him into the guest room. Guan Yu rarely gets drunk, Liu Ze has vowed never to get drunk again in this life since Kangqiao was drunk, although he drank a lot today, but his mind is still sober.

After a night of nothing, Liu Ze went to see Liu Yu after having breakfast the next day. After a few words, Liu Yu said: "Virtuous nephew, yesterday's battle report I have prepared an official document, together with the head of the thief Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao, and reported it to the court with a six-hundred-mile urgent document. The virtuous nephew has made a shocking contribution this time, and I have submitted the official document of the virtuous nephew's recommendation of filial piety to the court, and ensured that the virtuous nephew will be appointed as the Taishou of Zhuojun, and I believe that I will receive the court's reply in the near future. ”

Liu Yu, as the assassin of Youzhou, can only appoint some subordinate officials of the assassin mansion such as don't drive, engage, and govern, and the appointment and dismissal power of the Taishou and county orders is still in the hands of the court. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the authority of the assassin gradually became heavier, although he could not directly appoint Taishou, but after his nomination to the court, the court generally approved it directly, and rarely rejected it, and indirectly had the right to appoint and remove local personnel.

"Thank you uncle for your love, it's just that the little nephew is only a shallow learner, how can he take on the duty of being too guarded?" Liu Ze said.

Liu Yu laughed and said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to shirk, the virtuous nephew has won a great victory this time, solved the danger of Youzhou, saved the people from fire and water, and the position of the mere guard is not enough to worry about." ”

"Although the yellow scarf retreats, there is still the possibility of a comeback, now is not the time to say it, the little nephew resigned to his uncle today, led the troops to Tun Lousang Village, and the uncle leaned on each other to resist the yellow scarf."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Liu Ze immediately retired and returned to Lousang Village with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Although Cheng Yuanzhi is dead, Liu Ze can't guarantee that Zhang Jiao will not send other people to attack Youzhou, and the more than 30,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war released have more or less become a hidden danger in Liu Ze's heart, and no one can guarantee that they will rejoin the Yellow Turban and invade Youzhou again. The first thing Liu Ze did when he returned to Lousang Village was to send Pan Feng to take Jin Yingwei to reconnoiter the situation in Jizhou, and the other thing was to reorganize the army, be on high alert, and closely watch the new movements of the Yellow Turban Army.

Soon, Pan Feng reported the situation in Jizhou, not only did he send people from the Jinying Wei General Administration to inquire about the news, but Chen Biao from the Hebei Branch also sent information. Zhang Jiao confronted Lu Zhi's army in Guangzong, and has now lost several battles in a row, and he has retreated to defend in Guangzong City, and he can't divide troops to attack Youzhou again. Liu Ze put his mind at ease, it seems that as soon as Cheng Yuanzhi dies, the Yellow Turban Army's Youzhou Qu Shuai will no longer be held, and the Yellow Turban Army will no longer have the strength to attack Youzhou.
