On the way to Qizhang County, Liu Bei encountered a small force of the Yellow Turban Army three times, all of which were more than 1,000 people, and they were all generally disorganized.

So Liu Bei ordered Dong Huang, Guan Yu, and Xiahou Yuan to attack in turn and won three consecutive victories.

The three were hearty victories, the Yellow Turban Army was annihilated, and Liu Bei's troops suffered very little losses.

Subsequently, on the second day of the fourth month, Liu Bei led the vanguard army to attack and surround the main force of the Yellow Turban Army that was attacking in the county seat of Zhangzhang, with more than 5,000 people.

Liu Bei's whole army pressed, and ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dong Huang, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan to charge with a cavalry each, and then covered up with the remaining main force, and the Yellow Turban Army was suddenly attacked, and did not resist much, but soon began to flee and enter a state of collapse.

The defenders of the county town were overjoyed when they saw this, opened the door to attack, and joined forces with Liu Beijun to attack, the Yellow Turban Army soon collapsed, and the mountains were full of routs, but there were not many people who fought back.

Of course, there are also struggles to counterattack, but not much, Zhang Fei rushed to defeat one, Dong Huang rushed to defeat one, and the last team carrying the banner was Liu Bei personally led the army to attack, Zhen Yan and Liu Yong, Liu Sheng escorted Liu Bei to attack together, and soon broke down where the banner was.

An extraordinarily dressed Yellow Turban officer was shot down by Liu Bei and captured, and all the guards were killed.

After winning a hearty victory in a strong attack battle with less victory, Qiao Wei was very grateful to Liu Bei and came to meet Liu Bei in person, and was shocked when he learned that Liu Bei was the star of tomorrow of the famous ancient literature school, and hurriedly invited Liu Bei to the city to talk.

Liu Bei did not enter the city immediately, but ordered the officers to restrain and restrain their soldiers or pursue the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, or take care of the prisoners, or clean the battlefield to collect the spoils, and then ordered the soldiers of the whole army not to enter the city.

After that, Liu Bei followed Qiao Wei into the city to see the general situation, and asked him about the battlefield situation he knew so far, and then withdrew from the city and stayed with the soldiers.

After this big victory, because a lot of loot was captured, along with the loot obtained from the previous four small victories, Liu Bei held a banquet for the army, and asked Qiao Wei to organize the residents of the city to cook hot meals for the soldiers, and then fulfill his promise to distribute the booty to the soldiers.

Dong Huang is right, no matter what family and country feelings and ambitions are, they are not as good as the heavy loot that is actually sent to their hands.

The spoils of war ranged from precious gold, silver, jewelry, and brocade silk cloth, to practical grain, salt, cloth, ironware, and so on.

Liu Bei agreed with the soldiers before that all the booty would be collected and kept by the lord here before distribution, and after the phased victory, all the spoils would be distributed.

At that time, he used his reputation as a guarantee, and he broke his promise and thundered five times a day, so the soldiers reluctantly believed him.

Now when it was time for him to fulfill his promise, he did not break his promise, and gave all the mountains of loot to the soldiers and officers, and Liu Bei himself did not keep anything.

After fulfilling their promises, not to mention those who have other connections with them, even those soldiers who have no other connection with themselves and who come to war purely for money, they look at themselves completely differently.

Before, there was some skepticism and indifference, but now it is full of eagerness.

When inspecting the barracks, everyone was expressing their gratitude to Liu Bei, and the words were full of Liu Bei's good words, saying that Liu Bei was a good boss and so on.

Liu Bei doesn't have the ability to change the world now, but at least, he can start now.

He decided to be a person who was honest and trustworthy to his subordinates and did not break his word, and after establishing such a character and prestige, he could do more only after such a character and prestige were widely accepted.

can't change the world, but he can't let himself be changed, otherwise he desperately got his current status and status, what is it for? Isn't it that the legs and feet are not good and you can't kneel?

The Longyou cavalry led by Dong Huang made great contributions, and received a lot of spoils, and he himself also gained a lot, and he was very happy.

However, he found that Liu Bei did not leave any loot for himself, and he was curious about it.

"Sima Liu, don't you leave something for yourself?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Your trust in me is my greatest trophy."

Dong Huang reached out and scratched his face.

Uncle, Liu Bei is really a capable person and a man of words, but why does he always like to say something that seems to be very profound?

Is this the so-called Great Confucian disciple?

It's really different from a big guy like me......

After the spoils were distributed, the soldiers were able to eat a hot meal, they were in a good mood, their morale was greatly boosted, and after Liu Bei finished reporting to Lu Zhi on the battle situation, he was ready to continue the march north.

Before leaving, Liu Bei handed over some belongings to Qiao Wei.

"These are the thank you expenses for you and the officials and residents in the city, although it is not much, but if everyone shares a little, the days after that will be better, after the war, the price of goods will definitely skyrocket, it will not work without money, Qiao County Order, I will give you this money, I also believe in you, you will not live up to my trust, right?"

Qiao Wei blinked, and his face became serious.

"Qiao is not talented, but he will not do anything that violates his conscience, you have this heart, Qiao will never live up to it."

"That's very good."

Liu Bei smiled and left.

Three days after he marched north, Lu Zhi arrived with the main army, and after listening to Qiao Wei tell him all the things Liu Bei had done here, he sighed.

"Xuande is trustworthy in his words, benevolent and righteous in his heart, he is worthy of being my disciple, and I have not seen the wrong person after all."

Dong Zhuo was on the side to help.

"Xuande has a benevolent heart, is good at fighting, can be civil and martial, such a disciple, Lu Gong is worthy of his discernment!"

"Do you know the pearls......"

Lu Zhi suddenly remembered the one by one before he accepted Liu Bei as a disciple.

He does have a discerning eye, but he didn't accept Liu Bei as a disciple because of his discerning eye, he was just talented and couldn't meet the standard of being a disciple.

The reason why Liu Bei was able to be his disciple was because he was brave enough, because he was ruthless enough to himself and dared to do things that others did not dare to do, otherwise, this disciple would not have his turn to do it.

There are too many capable people, but most of them are not ruthless enough.

Lu Zhi will only hide these words in his heart and will never say them.

Lu Zhi just looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile.

"But this battle was fought by Xuande, and a thousand people dared to start a war against five thousand people, which made me frightened, but he won the battle, and I didn't have anything to say, but I just embarrassed Captain Dong, and I didn't achieve any achievements all the way."

Dong Zhuo smiled and waved his hand.

"Dong is not a weirdo who likes to fight, if he doesn't fight, he can still enjoy a credit, why not?"

Lu Zhi nodded and smiled: "Hahahaha, what Captain Dong said is true, but the limelight of young people is about to run out, behind a small group of enemies, there is the main force of the enemy army of more than 10,000 people, even if Xuande has the courage, he will not do a thousand people to attack 10,000 people."

Even if there are no 100,000 people in the Yellow Turbans, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 people, although they are all rabble, but there are many people, and our generation should not underestimate them, otherwise once they are defeated, the Son of Heaven will be disappointed and the court will be angry, and you and I will not be able to afford the consequences. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded.

"In the next war, Dong will definitely fully cooperate with Lu Gong."

Lu Zhi smiled.

"That's very good."
