"Zhong Changgong need not worry," he said, "Cao Cao's Qingzhou army is not the same as General Lu's Qingzhou army. ”

“…… How is it different? ”

Sima Yi listened to this question and thought about it.

"General Xiao Lu is always familiar with the terrain."

"Cao Mengde has been stationed in Yanzhou for many years, how can he not know geography?"

Sima Yi smiled and didn't refute, but Zhong Yan immediately realized one of the very simple problems.

Chenliu is a large county, and even once a feudal country of today's son, the slopes and depressions are connected, the rivers are continuous, and countless rivers are often diverted, unless there is a heart to fight here, otherwise who can remember such a complex terrain?

The two scribes were chatting in the back, Lu Lian was standing on the hillside, dozens of steps away, and there were many people around her, so she could only see a distant back.

Zhong Yan originally wanted to follow, but the commander was too strong in action, running from one hillside to the other, and as soon as he went back and forth, the scribe who was not good at running gave up and turned to Sima Yi, who had not moved since he came here.

Sima Yi still sat very firmly, and there were even servants on the side who brought two bowls of tea fried in oil and salt.

"The general is very strict with the army, and the servants are not allowed to make a fire even if they bring a stove," he said regretfully, "and this tea is still warm and can be eaten, and after a while it will not be able to drink it." ”

The scribe looked at him with a toothache for a moment, and when he finally lowered his head and decided to take a sip of tea, a sharp and loud voice suddenly rang out from all directions!

It was also a Qingzhou army.

They had just walked on a muddy dirt road, and many of them had mud on their legs, among which the leeches were faintly visible, which was obviously very uncomfortable, and it was one thing that hindered the continuation of the journey, so as soon as they got out of the mud, they sat down in the grass by the side of the road and began to solve the leech problem wholeheartedly.

There are officers who are insulting, but with little effect.

Then another military judge of the higher rank rode up and whipped him fiercely.

The whipped soldier immediately jumped to his feet, glared at him hatefully, and reluctantly walked forward.

So the military judge rode on his horse and went on, whipping the soldiers who were slacking off on the march, barking and shouting at them, telling them to obey military discipline and catch up with their own ranks.

But as he went forward, the soldiers who had been whipped by him and jumped up to walk immediately ran to the side of the road and sat down.

There were no villages, no objects to plunder, so there was no meat, wine, no women, no money, food, cloth, and silk, only endless slopes and mosquitoes, and the plague that followed.

Some lay down pretending to be sick on the march, and soon they really contracted the plague; Some people tried to escape, but after entering the depths of the water, there was no more news.

There was no one else on this road but them, and it was as silent as if walking in a grave.

But they couldn't help but wonder that maybe there was no living person walking with them, but maybe there was a ghost.

They were all members of the Great Virtuous Teacher Sect a long time ago, and they believed in this very much, especially when they had to face such a legendary general after such a journey, these once fierce and greedy Qingzhou soldiers were even more uneasy in their hearts.

- I heard that Lu Lian's subordinates are also Qingzhou soldiers, so it's a big deal for us to surrender?

- Maybe I'll be able to find a few familiar faces from my hometown!

- If we go, we will definitely be able to be reused by General Xiao Lu, right?

What Lu Hangyu's soldiers saw was such an enemy army.

They were in rags, their morale was low, and they were unaware of the ambush circle, and when they heard the sound of golden cymbals in all directions, they immediately began to scatter and flee, and even when they saw her flag raised, some of them did not even flee.

A double halberd soldier kicked down the soldier in front of him fiercely, the man was not small, his muscles were knotted, and his face was full of flesh, but he knelt there with tears streaming down his eyes, and begged for mercy in a standard Donglai dialect, which made his heart fire all of a sudden!

"How can you be Qingzhou soldiers!" He scolded, "Where are you worthy of being called Qingzhou soldiers!" ”

Chapter 448

This battle was fought very sloppily, it was very simple, and many people didn't take it to heart, after all, Lu Lian had won too many battles, and there were not many more battles.

Moreover, judging from the spoils collected after the war, this Qingzhou army was already exhausted, they didn't bring much grain and grass, and when they were sent out by Cao Cao, they took a one-way ticket.

Even if they win Lu Lian, it is a question of how to return, and it seems that Cao Cao's hand is just to get rid of this burden.

But the officers and men of the army soon realized that this Qingzhou army had more and more troublesome problems.

Where are they different from Lu Lian's soldiers?

If you go back more than ten years, they are the same Qingzhou people, farming on the land of Qingzhou, and although they are not rich in food and clothing, they can barely survive.

But in those years, I don't know what happened, natural disasters year after year, locust plagues, droughts, and pestilences, and the people always had not enough to eat, so they had to sell their cattle first, then their fields, and then they began to sell their children, their wives, and themselves.

But the harvest was so bad, but the court did not sympathize with them at all, but those county guards and those county orders intensified, and came up with a variety of tricks and cow-hair-like names to collect money and grain.

These Qingzhou people don't understand what is going on, they don't know that under the frequent disasters during the day, the local tax revenue cannot come up, and Emperor Ling has no money to play happily, so he can only sell the official mantle, and classify the three princes and nine kings of the Han Dynasty, and the county guard county order and sell them at the price.

Those officials who have paid money to take office naturally do not become officials because they want to benefit one party, they must get back the money they spent exponentially.

The money of the poor ghosts has been looted, and there is no oil and water to squeeze, so even those who can hire farmers to farm for their own land have made difficulties, and have to endure the oppression of the big clans.

There are great sages and good teachers, who can make runes of water, can control ghosts and gods, and the more believers come together, until they become the fire of the prairie fire.

When these Qingzhou people followed Zhang Jiao to revolt, there were hundreds of thousands.

What kind of concept is that? They would even tell it to others much later, after they had joined Cao Cao.

People all over the mountains, torches all over the mountains.

They didn't even have tents, so they had to set up mats to use as tents.

There are even more embarrassed people, who don't even have mats, and when they sleep, they take off their short shirts and support them with wooden sticks, and set up a small tent for mice to sleep in, which can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain.

But their hearts were hot, and they followed the great sage and good teacher all the way to the west, and there were women, old people, and children in their ranks. When they conquered a city, and when they brought out the horses of cloth from the great houses with the great men with pillars in front of them, the women would be eager to cut and sew them into tents, and then they would have a real place to go in and sleep.

…… Of course, they were still hungry, these Qingzhou soldiers recalled, the great sages and good teachers could not conjure up food, they had to lay down one granary after another to eat, but there were so many people, so little food, there was always not enough points, and they would always starve.

But they have a fiery belief in their hearts!

As long as you go to Luoyang, as long as you take down the capital of the Han Dynasty, the food in it will feed everyone's stomach! Since then, there has been no more hanged old man, no more childish child secretly thrown into the river! Just open that gate!

Alas, they imagined like this, imagining how rich the people of that city were, who had no worries about food and clothing, who never knew what it was like to not have enough to eat all their lives, and who might still be able to eat meat every once in a while!

Those imaginations are not only their imaginations, but also recognized by many ghost masters under the seat of the Great Sage and Good Master - as long as they take one more step forward, one more step forward, this "hungry" problem will soon be solved!

- In the end, is it solved?

When a man asked the veteran, he raised his scarred eyelids and pouted nonchalantly.

Not only do hundreds of thousands of them no longer have to go hungry, but in fact, everyone in the world can use that "method" to never have to go hungry again.

…… As long as some of them die, and then some die, more than half of them die, and they will die to the point of extinction.

Dahan is so big and has so much land, but those hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou yellow turbans died all the way. The mountains, the fields, the roadsides, the rivers, there are corpses everywhere, dense, and you can't see the edge, and the blood not only dyes the mountains red, how much does it dye the fields red, how much does it dye the rivers red, it even smears the sky, so that the heaven and the earth become the only color.

The veteran laughed a little self-deprecatingly at this point.

"It's not really that mysterious," he said, "it's just that my face is full of blood, so everything is red." ”

But after the listener let out a laugh that seemed to relax, he thought for a moment and spoke again.

"But I have really seen it, the people on the hillside are dead, and the blood is left behind, and at the foot of the mountain there is a small pool of blood, thick and thick, and shining."

But he didn't look closer, he wanted to rummage through the dead people all over the mountains, over his parents, his brothers, his wife and his son, until later Cao Gong's soldiers came and put ropes around his neck and hands, and led him like a pig, that he stopped his aimless search.

He came to Yanzhou with many people and set up a new home in Yanzhou.

Is that a new home? In fact, they are not very sure in their hearts, because this "home" is very different from the previous home. Few of them had brought their families with them, and it was difficult to call them home if they brought two rolls of mats and built a shack.

There needs to be a bed, a bedding, an iron pot, a stove, enough grain and rice, and preferably a piece of bacon hanging on the beam, and a pig in the pen outside the house.

- Someone else is needed. They muttered like this.

Cao Gong took them very generously to Xuzhou, where there were many houses with beds, beds, bedding, pots and pans, grain, rice, livestock, and women.

The suffering they once suffered now seems to have all been made up for by these Xuzhou people!

They can take everything they want with them at will, and as for those who can't take it away and don't want to be taken away by them, they can dispose of it casually!

Some women will be taken captive back to Yanzhou by them—the young, obedient, and strong ones may become their wives, take care of the household for them, and have children, and those who are not young and obedient enough will be killed by them, and those who are not strong enough will die on the way back to Yanzhou with them—but in their eyes, they are similar to livestock.

It wasn't the wife their parents set for them, it wasn't the green plum they grew up with in the same village, it wasn't the girl next door they suddenly saw when they walked in the field with a hoe on their shoulders.

As for whether the women had fathers, brothers, husbands, and children, they didn't care at all, because they killed all the men.

The Xuzhou people who wailed under their knives did not get their mercy, and those Xuzhou people did not seem to be "human" in their eyes, but this was by no means because they were extraordinarily arrogant and cruel—they did not feel that they were human.

A long time ago, when they were slaughtered in batches, they had already become something similar to wild beasts, and after Cao Gong took them away, he only domesticated them in the way of wild beasts.

They lived like this, and even Cao Gong connived at them to live like this, they would flee when there was a strong enemy, and they would plunder everywhere when they marched, but there were many of them! No one has to cherish them, the first wave of arrows can let them suffer, and the ambush soldiers in the col can also be explored by them! They live cheaply and die cheaply!

In short, those Qingzhou soldiers of Lu Lian, those who have parents, wives and children at home, and those Qingzhou soldiers who live beautifully, what qualifications do they have to come to Zang?

…… Lu Hangyu can't understand their mental journey.

But there was little booty, little grain and grass, so they all needed her to feed them, there was no doubt about it.

And this group of Qingzhou soldiers is particularly difficult to manage.

First of all, there is no difference between soldiers and people, there are more than 10,000 people in Wuyang, everyone can pick up a stick and shine it on your head, and everyone can sit on the ground and wait for food after throwing a stick;

The second is that Cao Cao is so careful in governing his Yanzhou army, but he has a free-range attitude towards the Qingzhou soldiers, they are basically similar to African chimpanzees in understanding military discipline, you have to show the knife to understand your attitude;

In the end, and the most troublesome, they are also very united, for example, the food is not good, they splash and roll and throw bowls or trivial things, and a large group of people scold and scold to rush out of the prisoner camp to grab food, which is very strange.

…… You must know that the captives of Xianbei and Wuhuan, Lu Hangyu, have not been seen uncommonly, and those Hu people can eat honestly, get up, and go south to Xuzhou according to the arrangement of the officials, this group of Qingzhou people suddenly couldn't understand Qingzhou, and she really didn't expect it.

But if she really wants to shine the knife, she is a little hesitant.

When cleaning the battlefield, many soldiers ran to recognize people, and then they recognized this as the cousin of the little aunt in the east of their village, and that was the brother of the sixth uncle in the neighboring village.

…… As a result, some of the Xuzhou soldiers and Zhang Liao's Bingzhou soldiers were pulled to see the prisoners of war, and they were somewhat confused.

Especially the group of people from Bingzhou, who usually rely on cavalry, rarely do chores except for serving their own war horses, and now they are a little uncomfortable as guards.

But Lu Hangyu didn't care too much about whether they were stunned or not, she caught the onlookers Yingchuan and Sima Yilai, who were lying down and eating dried fish, and wanted to sort out a safe and efficient place to deal with these Qingzhou soldiers.

When she and these cultural people were discussing one plan after another, there was a sudden uproar outside the tent.

She looked up and asked, but no one returned the account for a long time.

It wasn't until she went out of the tent to see it herself, and when the soldiers ran back in a panic, that Lu Hangyu found out that something was wrong.

The fence of a prisoner camp of 1,000 people was lifted, and the Qingzhou soldiers ran out.

They didn't run far, but rushed into the group of Yanzhou people who heard that the battle was over, so they dragged their families and hurried home.
