Chapter 40: Interpretation of Guan Yu
Liu Bei was in a hurry when he heard this, and proposed to Tian Kai to let him lead part of his troops to support Xuzhou, otherwise once Xuzhou was obtained by Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan would face even more pressure. Tian Kai felt that Liu Bei was reasonable, so he promised to give Liu Bei 5,000 steps to support Xuzhou.
After the negotiation, everyone parted ways. Before leaving, Liu Bei glared fiercely in the direction of Licheng, snorted coldly, and turned his horse away.
Liu Bei led his troops south, while Tian Kai walked northeast along the Yellow River, preparing to cross the river to Yizhou in Le'anguo. The army had only been walking for half an hour, and suddenly it rained, and all the pipes that had been stretched for miles were extinguished. Before Tian Kai could give the order to continue walking or stop marching, countless bows and arrows flew in all directions, and many soldiers fell one after another, and the sword and shield soldiers were no exception.
The black light blinded the outstretched hand and barely saw the five fingers, I didn't know how many enemies there were, I only knew that the sky was full of arrow rain, and for a time the Gongsun army was in turmoil! The sword and shield soldiers are better, but those soldiers without shields are miserable! If an arrow is shot, it will be relieved, but the problem is that some soldiers are injured by bows and arrows and are half paralyzed, and they can't run and can't run, so they can only lie on the ground and scream at high decibels.
Tian Kai, who was in the middle of the army, yelled and led his subordinates to rush forward, and his subordinates followed behind with a shout, some ran fast, some were injured, ran slowly, and stampede death began to be staged. The Gongsun army marched away, leaving behind many wounded and corpses and many axle weights, and there was no scene of the two armies fighting from beginning to end.
It's not that there are no ambushes, there are 5,000 ambushes on both sides of the road, and there are 10,000 behind the Gongsun army, Xie Chengbin made three Kong Ming lanterns, so that the soldiers can charge when they see the fire in the sky, who knows that it rained unexpectedly. If you still fight without torch lighting, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries (the soldiers in front of you are fighting with the enemy but are stabbed to death by the friendly troops behind), so Xie Chengbin did not put the Kong Ming lantern, even if he wanted to put it, it is estimated that he would not be able to put it up.
Forget it, you can win with 200,000 bows and arrows without a single soldier, what else is there to complain about. Xie Chengbin asked people to clean up the battlefield and went back to rest by himself.
Xie Chengbin didn't sleep for two days, and he bleed a lot in order to improve the physique of some soldiers, so tired that Xie Chengbin fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. When I woke up, it was already late afternoon, I was a little uncomfortable, dizzy and a little weak, I felt as if there was an extra heart pounding in my head, and I rubbed my temples. There is no way to be uncomfortable, there are still a lot of things waiting for Xie Chengbin to deal with, who made him the lord.
When I came to the lobby, I wanted to canonize everyone's official positions, but there was only Dian Wei in the hall, and I didn't see anyone else, so I asked Dian Wei where the others went. According to Dian Wei, Yu Ban led his troops back to Dongchao County, Tibetan Ba returned to Dong'e alone, Gan Ning was studying the art of war, and Tai Shici led his troops to explore the counties and states of Qingzhou, they were originally going to tell Xie Chengbin himself, but they didn't know when Xie Chengbin would wake up, so Dian Wei was released as a lieutenant. "If Zibin needs it, he will chase it back."
Xie Chengbin waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, and walked to the desk, thinking about what to do next.
At present, Jinan has a population of 1.5 million, and due to the large number of people and the lack of land, it cannot support so many people. If you self-proclaim Qingzhou, the land problem can be solved and at the same time you will face new problems, the whole Qingzhou has Pingyuan County, Le'an State, Jinan State, Qi State, Beihai State, Donglai County and other six counties, with the army at hand is difficult to hold so many counties. Alas, it's better to die than to starve, maybe others won't come to attack! Thinking of this, Xie Chengbin began to write the letter of appointment.
When it comes to writing, many people wonder why Xie Chengbin's writing is so ugly, and it's so ugly! No way, who called Xie Chengbin can't use a brush, and he has to write traditional characters, some of which have many strokes, and they are particularly ugly to write. This is not bad, I think Xie Chengbin couldn't even understand it at the beginning!
Zhang Fei was promoted to the rank of cavalry lieutenant and was responsible for commanding five thousand iron cavalry; Gan Ning was promoted to the governor of the navy, responsible for all the navy in Qingzhou; Gao Xu was promoted to the chief secretary of the history of assassination, and was in charge of the civil affairs of Qingzhou; Ren Dianwei was the Taishou of Jinan, responsible for the defense of the west of Qingzhou; Ren Yu is forbidden to guard the plain and is responsible for defending the north of Qingzhou; Ren Liu Quan is too guarded by Le'an, and he makes every effort to open up fertile land; Ren Zangba was the Taishou of Qi State, Ren Guanhai was the Taishou of Beihai, and Ren Tai Shici was the Taishou of Donglai, and the three of them coordinated to defend the east of Qingzhou.
Xie Chengbin finally wrote a plan, if Tai Shici didn't show any enemy troops, then it would be so decided. Putting down the brush, I originally wanted to ask Dian Wei if he was satisfied with his arrangement, but he saw that Dian Wei looked like he wanted to say something, and seemed to have something on his mind. "Brother Evil is the same brother as a brother, you don't need to see outside, you might as well say it if you have something to say."
"Some time ago, an enemy general was captured alive, and when he saw his extraordinary skills, he wanted to demote him to his own use, but he didn't know how to lift it, and his eloquence was far inferior to Zibin, so I hope Zibin will lobby." At this time, Dian Wei, who was bear-waisted and tiger-backed, looked like a little girl who answered shyly, Xie Chengbin couldn't help but laugh, and held back very hard. Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Xie Chengbin didn't dare to pat his chest and promise that he would be able to convince that person, because if he was caught, he would not surrender. "Oh, so-and-so do your best."
The two came to the cell together, and when Xie Chengbin saw each other, he was immediately dumbfounded, because the other party turned out to be Guan Yu! In history, when Cao Cao caught Guan Yu, he used money, high-ranking officials, beauties and everything, but he still failed to make Guan Yu surrender, so what could he do? Moreover, Xie Chengbin knew that future generations would worship Guan Yu not because of how good Guan Yu was, but because of Guan Yu's loyalty. Although Xie Chengbin is not a fan of Guan Yu, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, he admires Guan Yu very much. No matter what era it is, there are people who are faithful to the Lord, but Guan Yu is the only one who is a model.
When Guan Yu saw the comer, he knew that the other party had come to persuade him again, so he snorted coldly with disdain on his face, twisted his head to the side, and didn't look at Xie Chengbin and Dian Wei. Xie Chengbin asked the wooden door to be opened and opened the shackles for Guan Yu with his own hands. "I don't know that the public is here, and the wronged public is wronged!"
Dian Wei and Guan Yu were stunned at the same time when they heard the words ("Gong" is one of the honorific titles, one level higher than "Jun"), Dian Wei didn't know why Xie Chengbin respected the other party so much, the other party was just a defeated general. Guan Yu thought that Xie Chengbin was just currying favor with himself and one of the means of surrendering, so he didn't think so and snorted coldly.
Xie Chengbin pulled Guan Yu back to the lobby, and asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Guan Yu. At the banquet, Xie Chengbin apologized and punished himself with three cups, Guan Yu said that he didn't dare, but his expression was still indifferent.
After eating and drinking, Xie Chengbin asked three horses to be brought in, fetched the baggage (all money and dry food) and Guan Yu's weapons (which had been stored by Dian Wei), and personally sent Guan Yu to the city gate. Guan Yu and Dian Wei were a little puzzled, did they have such a trick to surrender?
"I know that the public is not only a loyal and righteous person, but also a handsome talent with civil and military skills, I love it very much, and I can't bear to kill it, so I have to practice it for the public. Liu Bei Shiyou** is in Xuzhou, may the public have a smooth journey! Xie Chengbin personally poured two bowls of wine, handed one to Guan Yu with both hands, and then toasted Guan Yu. Seeing that Xie Chengbin's attitude was extremely sincere, even Guan Yu, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help but be moved, and after drinking it all, he hugged his fist and knelt down on one knee to Xie Chengbin. "Thank you for your kindness today, I dare not forget!"
"Why did Zibin let the tiger return to the mountain? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it already useful? Maybe after a few months, that person will be surrendered. Although Dian Wei was a little reluctant, Dian Wei always believed that Xie Chengbin was the lord, and he must obey whatever the lord said. Xie Chengbin watched Guan Yu gradually disappear into the night, turned around and patted Dian Wei's broad shoulder. "You can lock up their people, but you can't lock their hearts."
Unconsciously, four days later, Tai Shici returned. According to Taishi Ciyu's report, except for Kong Rong, the Taishou of Beihai State, the rest of the counties were occupied by a small number of Yellow Turban Army, Kong Rong expressed his willingness to plant the banner of Xie Zi and would pay taxes on time, but he was unwilling to open the city gate. There are very few people in the counties, and most of the rest are wealthy families. Most of the fertile land was destroyed by the war, and only 40% remained.
Xie Chengbin didn't say anything, there are too few troops now, and it is not appropriate to move roughly. changed the original appointment, removed Liu Quan, and let Guan Hai serve as the Taishou of Le Anguo. Let people copy a few copies and send them to them, and send people to put out notices everywhere in Jinan, and now you can go back when you are homesick.
Since the surrender of the million Yellow Turban Army, although Xie Chengbin tried his best to arrange living accommodation for them, but due to the huge number, many people had no place to sleep, and now they learned that they could go home, and the people rushed to tell each other, and the news spread quickly, and many people left Jinan and followed the army back to their hometowns.
Whenever the Xie army arrived in each county, the Yellow Turban army in that county all surrendered or fled. During the day, the soldiers of the Xie army are the righteous soldiers who are supported by the people; Whenever the moon is dark and the wind is high, these righteous divisions will turn into the Yellow Turban Army that eats people and does not spit out bones!
In just seven days, hundreds of families in Qingzhou were attacked by the "Yellow Turban Army", and their guests and family members were all brutally killed, which made the major families panic, and some families even moved out of Qingzhou.
Of course, it is only those heinous families that are attacked, and those who have a good reputation or a not bad reputation never touch them, so the soldiers never inform.
