Chapter XVIII Cohorts

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who crossed the river and surrendered, after eating and drinking, Tang Tian gathered them together, the Yellow Turban Army did not know why, and was a little resistant, but seeing that the soldiers of Tianwolf Village were kind and persuasive, they did not force it, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Tang Tian ascended the high platform, glanced at the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and said, "Brothers soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, why do you want to join the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

"In order to stutter and eat, the family starved to death, and I was the only one left, and I was about to die, but it happened that General Tiangong had an accident, thinking that it would be better to die anyway, it is better to eat a little, it is better to be full than to starve to death, so I joined the army, but I didn't expect to be full for a few days, and I ran out of food."

"I joined the Yellow Turban Army for the sake of my family, I have elders and children in my family, and I joined the Yellow Turban Army in order to get something to eat."

"I was originally a child of a poor family, but General Tiangong got into trouble and arrested me."

I am a mountain bandit, and there is no food and grass in the mountains, so I defected to the Yellow Turban Army."

Someone took the lead, and the Yellow Turban Army suddenly became noisy.

After a long time, Tang Tiandao: "I heard you say so much, it's nothing more than for the elderly and children in the family, mixing a bite to eat, desperate, and some are the original mountain bandits, and some were forcibly arrested." In the final analysis, most of them are for a bite to eat, since everyone is for food and clothing, then I will solve the problem of food and clothing for you, how about you go to me. ”

Suddenly it was noisy again.

Tang Tiandao: "I don't force you, as long as you are willing to defect to me, stand on the left, the rest stand on the right, and the right can leave on their own, I don't stop it, it's all up to your will." ”

A soldier of the Yellow Turban Army asked a soldier from the Heavenly Wolf Village beside him, "How about you working under him on an errand for a year?" ”

The man said: "Brother join in, tell you that our Tianwolf Village, the treatment is better than that of the officers and soldiers, a year is 12 yuan of money, 12 stones of food, and the elderly and children in the family are all supported by the owner of the village, and as long as you enter the Tianwolf Village, the owner of the village also divides the fields and houses, and you can't find other places with lanterns." ”

"Is it really that good? You can't lie to me, do you? ”

Another Yellow Turban Army said: "I have heard of Tianluo Village, before I heard from relatives in the county next to us that Tianwolf Village is very well treated, I was about to go, but I was arrested by the Yellow Turban Army, and now I have a chance, I want to go." ”

The Yellow Turban Army heard about the treatment of Tianluo Village, which caused a lot of shock, this treatment is too good, I can't find it with a lantern, after two hours, it was finally divided, 50,000 people decided to stay, and there were 20,000 people to leave, Tang Tian respected their choice, let them leave, and prepared food for them for three days, as for those who stayed, Tang Tian promised to allow them to move their families to Tianwolf Village, and give them corresponding treatment.

After organizing the defected Yellow Turban Army, Tang Tian handed them all over, and Liao Yong asked him to bring the Yellow Turban Army back to Tianwolf Village.

The Yellow Turban Army is far away, oh no, it should be called the Sky Wolf Soldier now, watching them go away, I remembered the conversation with Thundercloud last night.

Tang Tian: "There are still 100,000 people in the Yellow Turban Army, if only they could be absorbed." ”

Thundercloud: "I have a plan. ”

"Tell me."

"Now the Yellow Turban soldiers are sleepy and tired, and they have been hungry for so many days, and now the army's heart is definitely unstable, if anyone gives them a bite to eat at this time, they will definitely be grateful to Dade, if we take in the Yellow Turban Army tomorrow before Liu Bei and them arrive, no, it's okay, but there may not be many people coming."

Thinking of this, Tang Tian looked at Lei Yun, and it happened that Lei Yun also looked at him.

Tang Tiandao: "The effect is much better than expected, 70,000 people have been separated, and now Zhang Liang only has 30,000 horses in his hands, and he can fight a wave." ”

"Yes, wait for Li Yu and Hu Yi to move, as long as they are dispatched, we will cross the river, 8,000 and 30,000 remnants, it is enough."

Tang Tian nodded, then leaned back on the book and closed his eyes.

Soon after, the herald came over: "Lord of the village, the army of Huangfu Jiang has reached twenty miles and is rushing towards us, and it will arrive in about an hour." ”

"Hmm." Tang Tian replied and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

Huangfu Song's army, the scouts came to report: "General Huangfu, the soldiers of Tianwolf Village, just twenty miles ahead, they have forced the Yellow Turban Army to the north bank of Weishui, and sent Li Yu and Liu Bei from Xinzheng and Yanling respectively to cross Weishui and attack the Yellow Turban Army. ”

"Oh? Boming did a good job, with 8,000 soldiers and horses, resisted 100,000 enemy troops, and could force the enemy army back, he was a general. "Huangfu Song is overjoyed.

"Command! The whole army advanced at full speed, made peace with Tang Tian's soldiers and horses as soon as possible, attacked the Yellow Turban Army, and went north to join General Lu Zhi, defeating the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Bei and Hu Yi led the army across the river and came to Yanling, at Hu Yi's request, the army took a short rest outside Yanling City, and Li Yu also rested in Xinzheng, and the two sides seemed to have negotiated to attack later.

Indeed, because last night, Tang Tian had already told them about the plan to incorporate the Yellow Turban Army and asked them to cooperate, and they were naturally willing to increase their strength for their side, of course, they had to fully cooperate.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, whoever had more soldiers was the big man, and those with few soldiers didn't even have a place to speak, either surrender or perish, and the power came out of the barrel of the gun, Tang Tian remembered the words of the great man.

Huang Fu Song's army soon came to make peace with Tang Tian, Huang Fu Song met with Tang Tian, and Huang Fu Song was full of praise for Tang Tian: "Bo Ming is really a great general, and he has forced the Yellow Turban Army to such a point, so we will meet General Lu Zhi just around the corner." What is the current status of the Yellow Turbans? and the whereabouts of General Zhu Jun, Bo Ming told me. ”

Tang Tiandao: "The Yellow Turban Army, in the past two days, has been constantly attacked and harassed by our army, and has run out of food, soldiers have died, left, fled, died, and injured countless times, and now Zhang Liang has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and our army now has 60,000 horses, and it is easy to deal with these 30,000 remnants." ”

"Okay, gather soldiers and horses to cross the river to fight, annihilate the remnants of Zhang Liang in one fell swoop, go north as soon as possible, and fight a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army." Huangfu Song ordered.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Liang was recuperating in the camp tent, and so many soldiers were gone at once, he was angry and sick, and now the sudden killing cry shook the sky, Zhang Liang said hurriedly.

Zhao Hong ran in and said breathlessly: "Enlightenment...... Enlightenment ...... General, Officer...... Official...... Soldiers...... Call ...... It's called. ”

"What!" Zhang Liang was startled and hurriedly got up: "Hurry up...... Fight back. ”

Zhao Hong said: "It's too late, the general should leave quickly, if you don't leave, the officers and soldiers will come over." ”

On the other side, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei slaughtered into the enemy army, killing indiscriminately everywhere they passed, as if they were in a no-man's land, the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to approach at all.
