Chapter 43: Collect 30,000 soldiers and horses to form the Bailing Army
When Liu Wu arrived at the military camp in the west of the city, they would also participate in the celebration banquet, and the standard of their meal was the same as that of Liu Bei and others.
At this moment, they had all finished eating, and when they saw Liu Wuchen coming to Zhao Yun, they all stood up one after another.
Liu Wu pulled them to the training ground, where there was a large platform for Liu Wu to speak.
Seeing that everyone was already in place, Liu Wu said the purpose of his trip: "Soldiers, let me introduce myself first, my surname is Liu Mingwu, my character is Wenliang, I am a small military advisor under the lord's account, and the purpose of my trip is to explain our policy." ”
Everyone below pricked up their ears, ready to listen to what policy Liu Wu can say, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun were also a little curious, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Wu.
Liu Wudao: "Soldiers, we practice voluntary joining the army, if there are those who are willing to follow the left general Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao and support the Han family, they can choose to stay, we welcome, if you are not willing to continue to join the army, tired of the battlefield life, we will send you a coil to go back, you go home to live in peace, we come and go here freely." ”
When these captives heard Liu Wu's policy, they couldn't help but be a little happy, it was really good that there was such a policy.
The captives all applauded and expressed their approval of Liu Wu's policy with practical actions.
Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh, this Liu Beijun sometimes has too much humanity than Chen Ping, if Chen Ping is there, if you are a prisoner and do not surrender, I am afraid that there is only one choice for you: that is, death.
Hearing this, Chen Zhi was even more convinced that he was following the right person.
Zhao Yun also feels refreshed by this policy, which is indeed a good approach.
In this way, we can select some people who are willing to fight and are willing to fight to ensure the smooth implementation of the policy.
These people who returned home were able to promote Liu Bei's benevolence to the neighbors around him, which was really a double win.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but blow Liu Wu's plan in his heart again, it was really a must, and he would have to follow Wen Liang's military master well in the future.
Liu Wu saw that everyone's reaction was very strong, so he continued: "Then have you thought about it, those who are willing to continue to stay, stand on my left hand, and those who want to go home, stand on my right hand side and receive the coil." ”
Most of the soldiers were willing to continue to follow Liu Wu to fight, and only a few chose to go home.
Of course, Liu Wu is a man of words, he sees that there are only two or three thousand people who choose to leave, and there are still 30,000 soldiers after a full battle, so it seems that there is no loss at all.
The two or three thousand people finished receiving the coiling, thanked Liu Wu, and set out on the journey home.
For the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Wu ordered Zhao Yunchen to select 3,000 soldiers with good riding skills, plus 2,000 cavalry from Liu Bei's headquarters, to form a force called Bai Ling Cavalry.
Liu Wu returned to the Xinye City Mansion from the Chengxi Military Camp and reported to Liu Bei the situation in the Chengxi Military Camp.
Liu Wudao: "My lord, I have collected more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from Chen Ping's army, and I have ordered Zhao Yun and Chen to select 3,000 elites from them, plus 2,000 people and horses in the headquarters, a total of 5,000 people and horses." ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, he heard about the power of Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry in Cao Ying, and Cao Cao would only dispatch tiger and leopard cavalry when it was really dangerous and urgent.
Now Liu Wu has only been here for a few days, first swallowing Chen Wen's 30,000 horses with more than 10,000 people and capturing more than 9,000 people, and then swallowing Chen Ping's 50,000 people with 20,000 people, capturing 30,000 horses.
Now he has established a personal army that belongs only to him, a cavalry force that is enough to compete with the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Which leader doesn't like such a talent? Which leader is not impressed?
Liu Bei was naturally moved, and he said: "I have a good culture, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate!" ”
Liu Wu was naturally very happy, after all, if he made such a contribution, he must have greatly increased his prestige in Liu Beijun.
After this period of getting along, Liu Wu found that he could give full play to his greatest talents here with Liu Bei, and he also intended to help Liu Bei Kuang support the Han family and severely punish Cao thieves.
Cao Cao, since you can't tolerate me, I will definitely make you pay for it.
Liu Wu silently recited this sentence in his heart, of course he would not forget Cao Cao's hatred for him.
Originally, I thought that as long as I worked hard for Cao Cao and helped Cao Cao win the northern region, Cao Cao would definitely be rewarded for his merits, but I never thought that what I would get back after working hard was Cao Cao's jealousy.
A fire in Yecheng burned all the foundation he had worked hard for several years.
His parents were all burned to death here, and he was the only one who escaped.
For Cao Cao, Liu Wu and Liu Bei had the same goal.
Liu Wu kept this hatred firmly in his heart, and he must avenge this revenge.
At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly walked from outside the door, and Liu Wu immediately came back to his senses and looked at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu was followed by Huo Junyi and the two.
Liu Bei saw that it was Huo Junyi, and immediately stood up, and Liu Wu also stood up and looked at the two of them.
Yi Ji was already an old friend of Liu Bei and Liu Wu, so naturally he was not so restrained, he smiled and squinted, and arched his hand: "Xuande Gong, don't come to harm!" ”
Huo Jun is also full of smiles, since he resolved the crisis of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun last time, his good opinion of Liu Bei and Liu Wu has risen rapidly, otherwise he would not go to Xinye with Yi.
Liu Bei naturally hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down.
Liu Bei said: "I don't know what happened to Ji Bo Zhongmiao? ”
Huo Jun was a little embarrassed to speak, but Yi Ji didn't think it was a little strange, but said bluntly: "Xuande Gong, Liu Jingzhou heard that Xuande Gong broke Chen Ping, making the western part of Jingzhou safe and sound, so Liu Jingzhou ordered the two of us to invite Xuande Gong to Xiangyang again to celebrate." ”
Although Yi nationality did not point it out, Liu Bei, Liu Wu, and Xu Shu had already understood.
Liu Biao came to ask Liu Bei for someone this time.
Liu Bei thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed some truth, after all, now in Liu Bei's hands, counting Liu Biao's 30,000 soldiers and horses, there were about 80,000 people.
You must know that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are only hundreds of thousands, and he still occupies almost Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other major states.
A force like Cao Cao basically unified the north, while Liu Bei only occupied a small Xinye city, but had 80,000 soldiers.
The soldiers and horses that Liu Biao can mobilize in the entire Jingzhou are only more than 100,000, who can rest assured?
It is normal for Liu Biao not to be relieved that it is true, and Liu Bei naturally understands, so it doesn't matter.
Liu Bei said: "Ji Bo Zhongmiao, I know. ”
Liu Bei agreed to this, and then turned to Liu Wu and said, "Wenliang, you brought the 30,000 soldiers and horses that Brother Jingsheng lent us. ”
When Huo Jun heard this, he hurriedly began to explain.
