Chapter 143: Cleaning the Battlefield
Zou Jing sighed secretly, although he didn't like Liu Ze's pride, it was undeniable that Liu Ze could be regarded as a bloody young man, but it was a pity that such a talent fell like this.
An adjutant general said on the side: "Captain Zou, Liu Gongzi is afraid that something has happened, the Yellow Turban army may attack at any time, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, whether to advance or retreat is to ask the captain to decide." ”
Zou Jing scolded in his heart, enter your size, Liu Ze's men and horses have obviously been wiped out by the Yellow Turban Army, and his 2,000 people will be given in vain if they attack the past, I am afraid that there is no other good way than to retreat, but after returning to the city, how can Liu Tingshi explain and let him answer Liu Ze, Liu Ze's men and horses are all folded and he Captain Zou retreated without even seeing the shadow of the Yellow Turban Army, Zou Jing didn't know what to do.
The adjutant general came up with another idea and said: "Captain Zou, it's not your fault, who asked Liu Ze to forcibly come out and hit the stone with an egg." After returning to the city, you can show Liu Tingshi, the Yellow Turban army is extremely fierce, Liu Gongzi's men and horses are surrounded, although our army tries its best to rescue, but the thieves are outnumbered, several attacks can not break through the enemy formation, can only watch Liu Gongzi's men and horses fall, in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, our army can only temporarily avoid its front and retreat into the city, Liu Tingshi also knows that the thieves are huge, and must not be blamed on the captain. ”
Zou Jing looked at the deputy general, he was really talented, he didn't even need to make a draft when he talked nonsense, but the only way to do it now was to do this, he immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, and the front team to change to the rear team, and retreat to Zhuo County City.
Just as the 2,000 men and horses were changing formations in a chaotic manner, Pan Feng arrived with a few fast horses and shouted: "Captain Zou is slow, I will report something." ”
Zou Jing was stunned, and the subordinates next to him told him that these people might be Liu Ze's subordinates. Zou Jing asked from afar, "Who is coming?" ”
Pan Feng grabbed the reins. "I am a subordinate of Liu Gongzi, and I have something to ask to see Captain Zou."
"Below is Zou Jing, it turns out that you are Liu Gongzi's subordinates, only a few of you can escape? Let's go, if you go back with me to see Liu Yuanjun, it can be regarded as an explanation. ”
I finally got to see a few living people, and I had an explanation in front of Liu Yu when I went back. Zou Jing thought about it like this, but unexpectedly, Pan Feng said: "Captain Zou, I am ordered by my son-in-law to ask the captain to move to the foot of Daxing Mountain to clean up the battlefield. ”
Zou Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Your son-in-law...... Cleaning up the battlefield...... How can I say that Liu Gongzi is still alive? ”
Pan Feng was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said, "Captain Zou, what are you talking about?" Is it possible to curse my son-in-law to die? ”
Zou Jing still didn't seem to have come to his senses, and said, "What you said is true? ”
Pan Feng said angrily: "The Yellow Turban army has been defeated by my son-in-law, but there are many beheadings and countless captures, and my son-in-law asked Captain Zou to lead the army to help clean up the battlefield." ”
Zou Jing then understood, and muttered to himself: "Won? Liu Gongzi actually won? ”
The lieutenant general shouted: "Bold, dare to lie about the military situation, how can 500 people win 50,000 people?" ”
Pan Feng glanced at him and said to Zou Jing: "This is the case, believe it or not, it's all in Captain Zou, my son-in-law's words have already been brought, please make your own decision and leave." As he spoke, Pan Fengtou turned his horse away without looking back.
The general's face turned blue and white for a while, and said to Zou Jing: "This matter is suspicious, according to the last general's opinion, there must be fraud in it, Liu Ze is only 500 people, how to defeat the 50,000 Yellow Turban army in half an hour, it seems that these people are clearly Yellow Turbans, intending to deceive our army to surround and annihilate it in the past, please be cautious." ”
Zou Jing groaned, although he also believed that Liu Ze could not defeat the Yellow Turban Army, but Pan Feng's words were conclusive, and they didn't seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but put him in a dilemma.
Another adjutant general said: "Captain Zou doesn't need to be in a hurry, just send a few scouts over to take a look." Zou Jing patted his head, secretly scolded himself for being confused, and hurriedly sent a few scouts to follow Pan Feng to see what was going on.
Pan Feng returned to see Liu Ze and informed him of the situation, Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "Not only Zou Jing, anyone will doubt the authenticity of this matter, it is understandable for him to hesitate, and order all the personnel to rest in place, and wait for Captain Zou to come over to clean up the battlefield." ”
Pan Feng was skeptical and said, "Then Captain Zou may not dare to come, right?" ”
Liu Zeyao pointed to a few rangers in the distance and said: "Zou Jing is afraid that there will be fraud in it, so he will not dare to come in person, but it is possible to send a few scouts to reconnoitre, and Zou Jing will come in person later." ”
Sure enough, not long after, Zou Jing hurried to the foot of Daxing Mountain with 2,000 men and horses, Zou Jing came to Liu Ze with a smile, jumped off the horse, and said: "I didn't expect Liu Gongzi to be so powerful, with 500 light horses to break the yellow scarf of more than 50,000 people, this battle can be described as earth-shattering and unprecedented." ”
Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "It's just a group of rabble, why worry about it, Captain Zou praised it falsely." ”
Zou Jing was already convinced at this time, and said sincerely: "The yellow scarves are cruel and tyrannical, they are all outlaws, the previous Guo Thorn History was invincible in Fanyang with more than 10,000 people, but it was broken by Liu Gongzi with five hundred light horses, if it were not for the ability of Gongzi, I am afraid that no one in the world can believe it, Zou Mou stayed out of the matter before, afraid of the yellow scarf like a tiger, failed to help Gongzi, and was extremely embarrassed. ”
Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "When I was in Zhuojun City, I asked Captain Zou to clean up the battlefield, and the matter of breaking the yellow turban was enough for the next person, but now I really have to ask Captain Zou, this battlefield is full of corpses, and there are countless baggage, so Captain Lao Zou will clean it on his behalf." ”
Zou Jing was excited when he heard this, although it was all Liu Ze's credit for breaking the enemy, but he was also a lot of credit for sweeping the formation behind and capturing such a rich trophy back. At the moment, he said happily: "It's all my own family, why should Liu Gongzi be polite, leave the matter of cleaning the battlefield to you." ”
So he arranged for two lieutenants to lead the team, cut off the head of the yellow scarf that died in the battle and drove it back, and buried the rest of the body on the spot. This is a huge errand, Zou Jing's 2,000 people were busy for two days before it was completed, and dozens of carts were loaded with their heads alone, and the baggage materials pulled back were piled up like a mountain.
Watching the officers and soldiers happily clean up the battlefield, Liu Ze had nothing to do, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Zou Jing said on the side: "Liu Gongzi, I have just ordered someone to pass the good news to Liu Tingshi, Liu Tingshi has led all the civil and military officials out of the city to greet Gongzi, and the affairs here can be taken care of by his subordinates, Gongzi, please return to the city as soon as possible." ”
It was indeed very boring to see the officers and soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Ze nodded when he heard this, and ordered his five hundred cavalry to return to the city.
Before he arrived at the gate of the city, he saw a large group of people waiting there from a distance, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Liu Yu and a group of civil and military officials under him, as well as the squire of Zhuo County. They had been waiting here for a long time, and Liu Yu received a report from Zou Jing's fast horse, and was ecstatic, and immediately ordered all the officials and squires to go out of the city to welcome Liu Ze's triumph.
Liu Ze didn't dare to slack off, jumped off the horse, and hurriedly came to Liu Yu to worship: "The little nephew is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he killed the thief Cheng Yuanzhi and the deputy head Deng Mao in a battle, and thousands of yellow turbans under his command, and the rest broke away. Pan Feng and Wu Anguo presented the heads of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao.
Liu Yu was overjoyed, supported each other with both hands, and said: "The virtuous nephew is also a talented person, and he can break more than 50,000 people in the yellow scarf with a mere 500 horses, even if Sun Wu is still alive." ”
"Uncle praised the little nephew for not daring to be ashamed, these Yellow Turban Army discipline was loose and there was no formation at all, so the little nephew was able to capture his thief in a battle and win, just a fluke." Liu Ze broke the enemy and returned, but he was not without pride.
Liu Yu saw that the five hundred cavalry behind Liu Ze were bright and majestic, and exclaimed: "Are these cavalry the hometown warriors that the virtuous nephew called them?" In my opinion, the virtuous nephew's township brave is well-equipped, even the Northern Army's cavalry battalion may be difficult to match it, and the virtuous nephew has such an elite division, and he will not worry about breaking the enemy. ”
"These cavalry are indeed recruited by the little nephew from the people, for many years the little nephew has been doing business in the north and south of the river, relying on their escort to avoid loss, and there is a tacit understanding between life and death for many years, and it is to kill the enemy in battle and hate the enemy, so that today's small victory." Liu Ze is very modest and authentic.
