Chapter 488: Liu Jian lives up to his name
The men and horses of Baibo Valley came out one after another, and began to arrange troops outside the valley, preparing for a big battle with Liu Jian.
After Liu Jian learned the news, he was very happy, and he said to his subordinates:
"Mrs. Guo, Yang Feng is out of the valley this time, and he will die!"
Liu Jian was not in a hurry to launch an attack on the Baibo army, but only prepared to wait until the Baibo army left the valley before attacking them.
Liu Jian moved his troops and horses back to a land of five miles, giving the White Wave Army sufficient territory to garrison troops, so that most of the White Wave Army could come out to fight.
Regarding Liu Jian's move, the soldiers who have followed him for many years have no objection, after all, they have followed Liu Jian for many years and know Liu Jian's style of action very well.
Especially a few people led by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun can basically guess what Liu Jian thinks.
Only Xu Huang was not very clear about Liu Jian's actions and was quite puzzled.
He asked suspiciously: "General, Huang's use of soldiers is far inferior to that of the general, but the rough use of military aircraft, as far as I know, with the advantage of the place, with the advantage of the eight formations, with the advantage of the eight formations, with three points of the formation, the formation has a front, the front has a back, all serve the order to move." ”
"Now that they are fighting out of the valley, the formation is not shaped, why not take advantage of the instability of their army formation and attack it?"
Xu Huang discussed the art of war with him so sincerely, Liu Jian was very satisfied, worthy of being one of the five good generals, and it was really very different from ordinary people, knowing the truth of asking if he didn't understand, and he didn't care about face.
Liu Jian smiled:
"On the army, although this time and the white wave thieves must fight, but the soldiers are the bottom, the heart is the top, the grain and grass in the Baibo Valley are insufficient, the soldiers are separated from morality, and the internal strife continues, and in the past few days, the soldiers of our army have been preaching outside the valley to recruit the other army, causing the thieves to go out of the valley to surrender to the army, although they are out of the valley to fight, but they are just trapped beasts still fighting, morale is still low, the thief's mind changes, if I attack it too quickly, but make it heart-to-heart, this time I withdraw a few miles, give them a chance to breathe, still use the method of psychological warfare, a few days later, he will think about change!"
"And acting like this can also demonstrate the benevolence of our Han army, and give those soldiers of the White Polish Army who are unwilling to fight the last time to surrender, which is also not a loss of benevolence."
Liu Jian's words really made Xu Huang admire him again.
"The general Gao Jian, Xu Huang only heavy soldiers and horses battle array, but not through the heart of the three armies, compared with the general, it is really a difference! Admire, admire! ”
Liu Jian said with a smile: "Gongming has the posture of a general, and in time, he will definitely be a famous general for me."
"General, the next time you fight against the White Wave Army, Xu Huang is willing to be the vanguard! Please give me the General's permission! ”
"Okay, when the next thief is broken, he will give Gongming a chance to make contributions!"
"Thank you, General!"
……
……
Liu Jian did not launch an attack on the Baibo army, and the Baibo army did not know what the idea of the Hebei army was, and they did not dare to attack rashly, so they first camped outside the valley, constantly transferring the elite men and horses outward, and confronted the Hebei army not far away.
Yang Feng and Guo Tai looked for an opportunity to drive their troops to fight the Hebei army at any time, of course, they didn't want to defeat Liu Jian, they also knew that they didn't have that ability.
They just hoped that with the strong numbers of the Baibo army, when the battle with the Hebei army was chaotic, a gap would be opened and they could escape.
After all, Liu Jian's methods are too powerful.
It's just that Yang Feng, Mrs. Guo didn't expect that Liu Jian was far more resourceful and good at fighting than they imagined.
Liu Jian still ordered the soldiers to shout loudly in front of the camp of the Baibo Army every day, inducing the soldiers of the Baibo Army to surrender, and at the same time let those Baibo soldiers who had defected go to the front of the battle, calling friends and friends, recruiting relatives and friends to vote, shouting that after these people surrendered, how well the Han army treated them, how strong the soldiers of the Han Army were to fight with them, and the general Liu Jian promised to give them a place to settle down and live, so that they could be self-sufficient in the future and live a peaceful and stable life......
It's brainwashing anyway.
And now the obstacle between the soldiers of the White Polish Army and Hebei is only these commanders of the White Polish Army.
Subsequently, the Han army also shot arrows into the camp of the White Wave Army, at first the commanders of the White Wave Army thought that the letter they shot was a letter of persuasion, but what they never expected was that those arrows were tied to a small piece of mutton.
It's small, but it's lamb!
This small piece of meat, for these Bai Bojun living at the bottom, is more effective than thousands of letters of persuasion with great truths.
After seeing the meat, the low-level soldiers of the White Wave Army couldn't control themselves completely, and its civil strife reached a climax!
The fighting spirit of the White Polish Army fell to the lowest point, and the little remaining fighting spirit of the soldiers at the bottom finally disappeared, and a large number of White Polish troops began to defect to Hebei.
The number of people who defected to Hebei every day increased by almost ten times compared to when they were in the valley.
If it's just a defection, the key is that the internal strife and bombing of the camp within the White Polish Army will be larger!
Finally, two commanders of the Baibo army rebelled with their cronies, and they cut off the head of a Baibo army commander, and then surrendered to Hebei.
As soon as this precedent was set, more and more rebels followed! Whether it is Mrs. Guo or Yang Feng, no one can control the situation.
It was at this time that the Hebei side began to launch a large-scale attack on the White Polish Army.
According to Liu Jian, he has given enough time to those Bai Bojun who want to change their ways.
Liu Jian really didn't lose his trust, he let Xu Huang be the vanguard of the front and attack the other battalion first.
The Hebei army attacked in a big way, 20,000 horses and horses in the rear as the central army, and strictly checked the main roads everywhere, beware of too many people fleeing from the Baibo army, and the 30,000 tiger and wolf division rushed into the camp of the Baibo army under the leadership of a group of fierce generals, and carried out torture and killing of the Baibo army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
They beat the camp of the Baibo Army into a crossing, and then drove the troops into the Baibo Valley and copied the lair of the Baibo Army!
And under the offensive of the elite soldiers led by the fierce generals of Hebei, most of the Baibo army chose to surrender!
Otherwise, they will flee to the countryside, mountains and forests.
They didn't want to continue to work for those selfish commanders in the first place.
In this battle, Liu Beijun beheaded 1,500 levels and beheaded seven Baibo army commanders!
In this battle, Zhang Feijun slashed 1,800 levels, beheaded eight Baibo Army commanders, and Zhang Fei himself killed two commanders.
Zhang He slashed 800 levels, and Gao Ran slashed 600 levels.
Yan Liang slashed a thousand-level, Wen Chou slashed a thousand-level, and Wen Chou also killed the fourth-in-command of the Baibo Army, Qu Shuai Li Le.
Xu Huang beheaded 1,200 ranks, and used his big axe to kill Yang Feng, the commander of the White Wave Army!
It's a pity that Yang Feng in history is still Xu Huang's master, but this time it has become a stepping stone for Xu Huang's military promotion.
Gao Shun beheaded six hundred levels, but he captured alive the leader of the Bai Bo Army, Daqu Shuai Guo Tai!
That's a lot of work.
After this battle, not only the reputation of the first infantry of the 3,000 fallen camp, but Gao Shun himself also began to dominate the world.
Han, another commander of the White Wave Army, thought that he could escape, but at the last moment, he was shot by Zhao Yun, known as the White Horse General, and died with a whimper.
In this battle, although Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not charge into battle, they had been assisting Liu Jian in the rear to do the work of recruiting and surrendering rebels.
Although after the collapse of the White Wave Army, many people will definitely flee to the mountains and wilderness, and pose a threat to ordinary people again in the future, but the extent of this threat has been controlled to the minimum.
From Liu Jian's point of view, he has to work hard to control as much as he can control, after all, these people are the population of the Han Dynasty and the most basic force of the country, and Liu Jian must do his best to guide them back to normal life.
Liu Jian was indispensable to the strong Han Dynasty, but the help of these people was also indispensable.
The strength and prosperity of a country need to be added by everyone brick by brick, and Liu Jian alone cannot do it.
In this battle, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xiahoulan and others assisted Liu Jian, and captured and surrendered more than 500,000 Baibo troops.
Of course, among the more than 500,000 people, only a few can become "soldiers."
At least more than 400,000 people are elderly, women, children, and some men who are not physically fit enough to be used as soldiers.
However, although it cannot be used as a source of soldiers, it is still more than enough for the ordinary population to reclaim land and build places.
The White Wave Army is second only to the Black Mountain Army among the countless Yellow Turban Army that have sprung up in the entire Han Dynasty.
They had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and now they were completely wiped out by Liu Jian in two battles.
Liu Deran's popularity has reached a new height.
Everyone is praising Liu Deran, the general of Fuyuan, for his reputation as a veritable god of war in the Han Dynasty.
Especially in the prefectures and counties near Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou, people there saw that the quality of life of residents in Jizhou and other three states was constantly improving, and many people began to hope that Liu Jian could rule their prefectures and counties.
Especially in Sizhou, Bingzhou, Central Plains, Xuzhou, Li Shu in these places, always secretly sighs in private.
They all dreamed that Liu Jian's army would be able to hit them without knowing when, and then govern their hometown.
In places such as Sizhou and Xuzhou in the Central Plains, Liu Jian may not be included in his consideration now.
But this time, the state has become his target.
Liu Jian sent an envoy to escort the captive Guo Tai to Chang'an and hand it over to the Son of Heaven for disposal.
In addition, Liu Jian also asked Guan Ning to be an envoy to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, stating that after he exterminated Guo Tai in Baibo Valley this time, he found the correspondence between him and Luan Ti Yufuluo.
In addition, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army has now also occupied the city of Bingzhou.
It can be said that the land of the annexation is in danger of being completely annexed by the thieves.
Therefore, he, Liu Jian, the general of Fuyuan, must move from Hedong to fight and merge with the state, exterminate the thieves for the Son of Heaven, and return the peace of the state.
However, as for whether the ruling power of Bingzhou will be taken into Liu Jian's hands after the extermination of the thieves, it is difficult to say.
Anyway, General Fuyuan must have to go to merge the state.
