Chapter 49: Liu Bei (I)
However, Huangfu Song is still in Dongjun and other places, and continues to encircle and suppress Zhang Bao, Jizhou scattered Yellow Turban Army, occupy the mountain as the king, and also need to be cleared, so Liu Qi and others recruited troops, not immediately disarming and returning to the field.
After a discussion with Hu Zhen in Nangong, Liu Qi returned to the headquarters of Xindu on the second day.
In the next half month, due to a heavy snowfall, the pace of everyone cleaning up the remnants of the yellow turban was much slower.
On the fourth day of the twelfth month, Liu Qi entered Zhongshan again in accordance with the unified arrangement of the Hu Zhen people, assisted the local official temple, completed the reconstruction of the official temple, and resettled the displaced people.
When the specific task location of the general was issued, Liu Qi stared at one of the names and couldn't help but be a little distracted.
Anxi County.
It's not that Anxi County is so famous in Jizhou now, but seeing this place name makes that Liu Qi inevitably think of a person.
Liu Bei.
As far as he knew, Liu Bei also made great achievements after purging the Yellow Turbans and was appointed as the lieutenant of Anxi County.
Of course, from the point of view of time, Liu Bei's momentum is small now, and when he has not yet taken office, he may still follow the imperial army in other counties to fight against the Yellow Turban.
"Pavilion Chief, but there's a problem?"
Fang Zhen felt keen, noticed that Liu Qi's expression had changed slightly, and after entering, he looked at the military order in Liu Qi's hand and asked.
Liu Qi looked around, shook his head, and said, "I thought of something, but it has nothing to do with my trip."
By the way, this time, we will wait for the villagers, according to the military order, to be divided into two counties, there will be Lao Zichu, you and Li Tingchang will lead all the way to Anxi.
I took Xu Case, Huang San, etc., and led another group of people to Puyin.
Assist in the reconstruction of the official temple, compared to the righteous army called by all walks of life on the way, there are many people, and they are restrained, and they have to bear more at the beginning of the year! ”
Liu Qi and others, this time they were ordered to go, which is actually equivalent to the order of the Jizhou Prefecture where Hu Zhen is still in charge, in addition to assisting in the reconstruction of the official temple, there are also some ordnance seized from the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, which must be escorted to help the counties rebuild security.
Liu Qi thought about things thoroughly, like these small things, he didn't even need Fang Zhen, a staff member, to make more plans, that is, to form them in his mind.
After calling Li Zhan and others and explaining again, everyone had no objections and all responded.
After Liu Qi finished discussing important matters, he took over the ordnance from the hands of the generals and rushed to the two counties, hundreds of miles away, a group of nearly 500 men and horses was slowly moving in the direction of Puyin.
The one at the head rode a black horse.
He is not more than seven feet long, has a pair of big ears that are very eye-catching, has a long beard, and shows a bit of elegance and maturity. Looking ahead, I don't know what to think.
Behind him, two generals, one was tall, seven feet long, with a healthy wheat yellow complexion, long flowing hair, a pair of red phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, the reins in his left hand were tightly followed, and the other hand held a heavy broadsword.
On the other side, this general is more than eight feet long, which is considered to be dignified, and he is holding a cumbersome spear, and he is not struggling.
Compared with the first few generals, the group of soldiers following behind him seemed to be a little unmorale.
Jizhou has just won the battle, but with most of Youzhou, the war has not stopped, and there is an increasingly fierce rhythm.
This group of subordinates retreated from the Youzhou battlefield and planned to go to Zhongshan to clear the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, as well as the local bandits' Zhuojun Righteous Army.
"Gentleman, the front is Puyin County, I waited for the lack of grain and grass, and when I arrived at the county, Cheng Gai asked the county order to ask for some grain and grass!"
The man on the left spoke with a spear in his hand, and he spoke in a loud and buzzing voice. This is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who are from Zhuo County, and Liu Bei, the former general, are fellow villagers.
As for the generals on the other side, it is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who are from Xie County, Hedong County. A year ago, Guan Yu committed a life lawsuit in his hometown and had to live in Zhuo County.
More than three months earlier than this year, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army had an incident, and the world was in chaos.
In the market, Liu Bei, who is known as the great name of benevolence and righteousness, recruited righteous soldiers in the countryside and prepared to follow the imperial army to quell the rebellion.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu joined because they knew Liu Bei's righteous name.
Then they got acquainted and saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were extraordinary, and Liu Bei treated them sincerely.
The three of them have been on the road of counterinsurgency for more than half a year, and they often sleep together, although they are not brothers, but in terms of righteousness, they are more prosperous than brothers!
However, Liu Bei's department was unlucky, and he was suppressing bandits in Hejian Country before, but unfortunately encountered the main force of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, and his nearly 1,000 men and horses were directly disrupted.
A few days ago, the scattered people finally gathered, but the problem of food and grass became a critical issue again.
In the past, the sponsorship of several Zhongshan giants, without the support of the imperial court, had already been consumed by Liu Bei because he wanted to support more than 1,000 subordinates, plus some gifts from his homecoming who were leaving.
After hearing that Jizhou broke the Yellow Turban Army in the general Hu Zhen and won a big victory, and all parts of the country began to recover one after another, and called for help from the righteous soldiers, Liu Bei thought about going to the neighboring Zhongshan country, while continuing to assist the local officials and temples to suppress bandits, while trying to find a way to solve the problem of grain and grass.
Zhang Feizhi's words pulled Liu Bei's thoughts back, he looked back at his subordinates with low morale, and said in a deep voice: "Yun Chang, Yide, and all the gentlemen, you can rest assured, when you get to the county, I will definitely ask!"
And this time, all the gentlemen can get together again, life and death together, this great kindness and righteousness, I Liu Xuande remember it in my heart! ”
Hearing Liu Bei say this, a group of people waited and spoke one after another.
Two days later, after repairing on the way, Liu Bei led his troops and finally arrived at Puyin County.
At the same time, in Puyin County, Liu Qi was also talking with Zhang Feng, the county commander.
Zhang Feng is forty years old, and he is a native of Changshan next to him.
After the Yellow Turban was in Jizhou and ravaged in Zhongshan, Zhang Feng also organized the villagers to resist, but the Yellow Turban soldiers were numerous, and he took the pavilion soldiers and other people, and was born in the stone castle of the local wealthy family, and guarded it for several months. waited for the news of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army to come, and then dared to bring the people of the county out.
And to say that in Puyin County, although the Yellow Turban Army has gone about the same, like other counties in Jizhou, the trouble of bandits is rising. The largest group of thieves is now occupying Fengtou Mountain, which is 50 miles away from the county seat, and since January, they have often gone down the mountain to rob houses and houses, with a number of nearly 200 people, mainly to recruit displaced people.
This is much more than Liu Qi expected!
The people Liu Qi brought this time were less than twenty people, and they arrived with the ordnance, counting the townsmen who were finally summoned by Puyin County, adding up, the number was not more than 100, how could they confront that gang of bandits head-on?
Liu Qi discussed with Zhang Feng and planned to send a letter to the county to ask the Hu Zhen troops stationed here to clean up, but as soon as the discussion was finished, Shuzuo hurriedly stepped in and said a few words in Zhang Feng's ear.
"Really?
There are 500 people in his department? ”
Liu Qimo sat in the small case, and suddenly heard Zhang Feng unconsciously exclaim these words.
He thought to himself: Isn't there most of the Han army passing by? There are also some things left over this way.
