Chapter 72: The remnants of the army are defeated

The big picture is set, but that doesn't mean there are fewer things to do.

Although standing in the midst of the chaotic army, Liu Xuan was still wielding Chixiao in his hand and using the vacuum blade to kill non-stop, but his head was already thinking about what he wanted to do next.

Yuzhou and Xuzhou are two areas occupied by the Yellow Turban Thieves, of which Xuzhou has just been occupied, although the Yellow Turban Thieves have caused a scourge there, but it is not too serious, at least the root is still there.

As for Yuzhou, this place was considered a scourge by the Yellow Turban thieves, not only did it take a long time to recover, but it even needed to recruit displaced people from other places to settle in Yuzhou in order to recover the huge number of people lost in Yuzhou.

At the same time, the return of Yuzhou to the imperial court also means that the area that the imperial court needs to garrison has increased a lot, because Yuzhou and Xuzhou are next to Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, none of these two guys are honest people, and if they don't send troops to garrison, it is equivalent to sending good meat to the mouths of the two hungry wolves, and the two of them will not be polite.

"There are more soldiers needed, it seems that you won't be able to do anything to Yuan Shao in two years!"

Thinking of Yuan Shao, Liu Xuan suddenly remembered that if he wanted to deal with Yuan Shao, he had to get rid of Yuan Shu first, otherwise the brothers would echo the north and south, and it would be more troublesome to deal with.

Originally, Cao Cao in history was in addition to Yuan Shu and solved Liu Bei and Lu Bu before he could concentrate on dealing with the big battle with Yuan Shao.

Although he doesn't have to be like Cao Cao, after all, the strength he has at this time is far stronger than Cao Cao at that time. However, it is also annoying to fight here, but there are people jumping behind it, and Yuan Shu is quite ambitious, maybe a little provocation can make him take the initiative to send it to the door for him to clean up.

After thinking about it too much, the movements in his hands inevitably slowed down a little, which also gave the surrounding Yellow Turban thieves more opportunities to escape.

Liu Xuan was not in a hurry when he saw it, but instead looked at a place in front of him where thieves were concentrated, put Chixiao on the ground a little in his hand, and said lightly: "Icicle Thorn!"

Immediately, he saw that a huge icicle suddenly appeared in the place he had just noticed, and the icicle had countless sharp edges and corners on it, and it was really injured and killed if it was touched, and one of the thieves happened to hit it squarely, and the sharp horns of the icicle pierced the abdomen, and the things in the belly flowed all over the place, making the surrounding thieves more and more frightened, and wishing to have two more legs so that they could run faster.

However, to Liu Xuan's surprise, one of the guys who seemed to be the Yellow Turban thief general, not only did not flee in panic after seeing such a situation, but turned around and rushed over with gritted teeth.

This person is holding a ring-headed knife in his hand, and there are already many gaps in the blade, so this person should be a battle-hardened figure, Liu Xuan doesn't care much about this, what makes him care is that this thief will dare to turn his head and rush towards him, but just to attract his attention so that more people can escape.

Liu Xuan secretly praised: "It's a man!" He had a good impression of this person, so when he rushed in front of him, Liu Xuan did not resist the enemy with Chixiao, but unhurriedly raised his hand and grabbed the blade of the ring head knife.

The choking sound was unusually harsh, especially in the ear of the person opposite, although his ring knife had not been repaired for a long time, but it was not an iron rod, how could he hold the blade without hurting a bit?

Fortunately, he has seen many strange and incomprehensible things over the years, and he was not too surprised by this situation, so he immediately let go of his knife, and then kicked Liu Xuan with one kick.

It's a pity that before he had time to lift his feet, he felt that the sky was spinning, and the whole person fell to the ground out of control, and he didn't even understand what was going on, so he stepped on his face with his foot before he saw it, and then his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything. ..., Liu Xuan didn't kill him, but just stepped on it and fainted, and was about to ask the soldiers to come over and tie him up and take him back, but saw another person rushing out in front of him.

The man was also dressed in tatters, with a yellow scarf tied around his head, and a long sword and a hoe in his hand, which looked a bit nondescript, but this situation was not unusual among the Yellow Turbans

However, most thieves will have a weapon, and it is estimated that this person's weapon was destroyed, so he had no choice but to take a hoe. But even so, this thief general was barely able to survive the pursuit of countless forbidden troops, which shows that he is still somewhat capable.

And when he saw the person lying at Liu Xuan's feet, he actually yelled and rushed up - it seems that these two people have a good relationship, and Liu Xuan appreciates this kind of affectionate and righteous man, so he is generally the same...... I kicked and fainted.

"Tie up, take it back, don't embarrass these two people!"

If the Son of Heaven says it, who dares not to do it?

Although Liu Xuan had said earlier that the Yellow Turban thieves had killed all of them and did not want to take them prisoner - anyway, Liu Xuan did not need to worry about the population problem, and it didn't matter if he killed more people.

It's just that things will always change, this battle killed Nanhua, and it was Lu Bu who made the move, and the faith of the Yellow Turban Thieves collapsed in an instant, and after losing their faith, these Yellow Turban Thieves didn't necessarily have to be killed.

Of course, it doesn't work to grab it and put it back in the field!

The Yellow Turban thieves at this time were not the same as those in earlier years. In the early years, many of the Yellow Turban thieves were wrapped up in ordinary people, but this time the rebels were all bandits and bandits who plagued all over the country, in short, there was no good person.

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Xuan said "don't want a prisoner" before going on the expedition, but at that time, he never thought that Nanhua could attract talents like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and it would be difficult to kill all the thieves and leave only these two, right? In that case, the two of them would have a very distinct background, which would be very unfavorable for them to integrate into the imperial forbidden army in the future, so it was not impossible to properly recruit some Yellow Turban thieves.

Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Sizhou, there are so many more territories at once, Liu Xuan also needs more troops to defend various key points, these Yellow Turban thieves can't be put back to farm, but if they are reorganized into an army, they won't have so many troubles.

It's enough to kill, seeing that the soldiers and horses have dispersed to pursue those yellow turban thieves who are scattering and fleeing, Liu Xuan didn't continue to join in the excitement, today's battle, it is estimated that there is no chance to let himself clean up these yellow turban thieves.

Not to mention the tyrannical generals under his command, even if they give Li Dian and Yu Ban some soldiers and horses, they can quickly wipe out these Yellow Turban thieves who have lost their fighting spirit.

It's just that it is not a matter of time and a half to completely eliminate the Yellow Turban Thief, Liu Xuan had already discussed these things with Xun You, Xun, Guo Jia and others before he came.

The result of the discussion was that they would kill if they could, catch them if they could, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army would be driven south as much as possible, so that they could scourge those places.

Anyway, don't let them continue to stay in Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

I believe that Sun Ce is still very willing to accept this batch of Yellow Turban thieves, because the most lacking thing in the south is population resources, but the number of population resources determines the number of soldiers under his account, and these thieves are excellent sources of soldiers, Sun Ce will definitely not let go.

Although this will not necessarily wipe out the thieves in the two states, what can be left will not be a large group of thieves, at most a small group of thieves.

These people don't need to pay attention to it for the time being, as long as the imperial court can gradually govern Yuzhou and Xuzhou well, these hidden thieves will slowly emerge - either they are hungry for those grains and come out to loot, or they also want to live that peaceful life, so as to become an ordinary people. Either way, you can let the local commander solve these hidden dangers -- if you continue to cause trouble to the locality, you will send troops to exterminate them, after all, you will expose your own location if you come to plunder, and the officers and soldiers will have a clear goal.

And to become a common man, it would be better, anyway, Yuzhou and Xuzhou suffered this catastrophe, there are many fields, I am afraid that no one will plant, the imperial court provides fields and agricultural tools, no one will refuse this kind of good treatment, right?

In short, the matter of Yuzhou and Xuzhou has decided on a solution, and Liu Xuan has nothing to worry about, all he has to do is to return to the camp, and then calculate how long it will take Cao Cao to recover Xuzhou, and when he will return to Beijing.

Just thinking about it, I saw Cao Bao walk into the camp tent and report: "Your Majesty, those two thieves will wake up!"

"Oh!" Liu Xuan nodded, and then asked, "What are the names of those two, did you ask them?"

"One is called Liu Bi, and the other is called Gong Du!" These things were all ordered by Liu Xuan to be done earlier, and Cao Bao naturally handled them properly.

Liu Xuan heard the names of these two people, and secretly said in his heart: "I didn't expect to catch two famous and surnamed people, although they are not very talented, but they can be regarded as a little ability." ”

Thinking of this, he knew how to deal with it, and instructed Cao Bao to go down and ask the two: "If you are willing to submit, then you will be a soldier in the forbidden army in the future to eat food, if you don't want to, then pull it out and cut it directly!"

Liu Xuan didn't go to surrender in person, because he didn't need it at all, the two yellow turban thieves ran over and lowered their identities for nothing, not to mention these two people, even if it was Xu Chu and Dian Wei, if Liu Xuan was too lazy to move, he would have sent it away with a word.

His current thinking is: Those who go along will prosper, and those who go against him will die! You can come if you want to come, and if you don't want to come, you can pull down, after all, even if you don't mention the current emperor's identity, he was originally a top immortal with status and status, and he couldn't always put on a low posture.

Not long after, Cao Bao came back to report: "Your Majesty, those two thieves will surrender!"

Liu Xuan nodded and knew it, as for how to arrange it? He, an emperor, still has to worry about this matter? Naturally, he has his subordinates to do it!

It happened that Yu Ban took the initiative to ask for meritorious service, and the matter of recruiting thieves and soldiers was handed over to him, and Li Dian and Le Jin also took this opportunity to show their abilities.

At the same time, in order to make their reorganization work go smoothly, Liu Xuan also sent Xiahou, a general who was familiar with the establishment and situation of the imperial army, to supervise and help.

Just when everything was going on in an orderly manner, news came from Cao Cao's side: Xu Chu and Dian Wei had surrendered after learning the news that Nanhua had been killed
