Liu Zhang arranged everything, and the next thing was to divide the spoils.

He can do without booty, and it is impossible for other officers and soldiers not to want booty.

How is it distributed? It doesn't make them resentful of it.

That's what matters, the spoils of war are all stolen from the families of the rich merchants and officials.

There must have been some minor nobles among them who were robbed, according to Liu Zhang's idea.

Returning these loot to their original owners, presumably Cheng Kan and others do not approve.

The total amount of loot is evenly divided, but some of the loot is of high value.

"These booty were first sent to the county government, and the Taishou reported them to the imperial court. Waiting for the final decision of the imperial court, the benefits are indispensable to everyone. ”

Cao Bin felt that these spoils could not be divided in private, so as not to blame the court.

Cao Bin's consideration is not unreasonable, and it can't be because of this small profit.

Let yourself lose your official position, and even receive other punishments.

Due to the rebellion in several surrounding counties, the imperial court found out.

Just wait for the imperial court's decision on the punishment of their officials, and exterminate these rogues as soon as possible.

In order to redeem the credit, Liu Zhang led them to achieve a good record.

According to the information they received, there were more than 5,000 rogues in Longkang County.

Most of them gathered in the whirlpool, and they robbed a lot of boats.

They had more looting supplies in their hands, and they were ready to flee east along the Huaishui.

These rogues are very smart, even if the counties are heavily defended.

It may also allow them to escape, and the request for help sent by Longkang County is very urgent.

Let Liu Zhang and them lead the army to support, those rogues are very strong in combat.

There were certain casualties among the officers and soldiers of Longkang County, and they temporarily occupied the pot of water.

caused a lot of harm and panic to the local people, and Longkang County also asked Peijun Taishou for help.

Peijun Taishou told Long Kang that he could send someone to contact the officials and soldiers of Guyang County.

They're clearing out the rogue over there, and if it goes well, they'll be able to do it in a few days.

Liu Zhang's side of the army was cleared faster than Taishou expected, and some people were assigned to send the spoils to the county government.

Today, there are only more than 7,000 officers and soldiers left.

Five hundred people escorted the rescued woman to the Red Marquis Kingdom, and two thousand five hundred people escorted the spoils of war to Pei County Zhizhi Xiang County.

It is also more than 200 miles from Guyang County to Jiangxian County, and it is necessary to escort the loot safely.

At the very least, it will take two days to walk, and they really can't send too many people to escort them.

The 2,500 officers and soldiers were well armed, and it was difficult for those rogues to defeat them.

Liu Zhang told them to keep watch near the vehicle around the clock.

You can't lose the loot, and beware of some daring people robbing it.

More than 7,000 people rushed to support Longkang County, and if it was fast, it would be possible to arrive in about a day.

Horses, oxen, and mule carts were mobilized from Guyang County, and the officers and soldiers sat on the carts.

This allows them to conserve physical strength, which is much faster than walking.

There are only a thousand war horses in their hands, and they can't equip all of them with war horses.

These war horses are still third-class horses, and they are also eliminated war horses.

First-class horses were sent to the Han border to fight against the Xiongnu.

Second-class horses were in the hands of royalty, and third-class horses were owned by some high-ranking officials.

Ordinary people can only use fourth-class horses, in order to get to their destination quickly.

Even fourth-class horses were used, and the horse Liu Zhang rode was a second-class horse.

Nowadays, it is really impossible to transfer the most combat-effective officers and soldiers, such as Youyou.

Their weapons and combat effectiveness are inferior to those of the officers and soldiers, and it is still possible for them to maintain daily law and order in the localities.

Letting them deal with those rogues will not only cause heavy casualties.

It will also make the local lack of personnel to maintain order, and the Han Dynasty hired people everywhere.

Especially against the Xiongnu, more troops and logistics were needed.

Today, the total population of the Han Dynasty is only more than 38 million, and the court feels that there are not enough people.

What the court is most afraid of is that there will be people gathering in the local area, and the pressure on the court side is also very great.

These rogues must not be spared, and they are also a deterrent to the people everywhere.

As long as they keep to themselves, the court will not let them be hurt and wronged.

In general, law and order in various parts of the Han Dynasty was still stable.

The tax is a little heavy, and it is not because a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources are invested to deal with the Xiongnu.

The imperial court is really short of money, and Liu Zhang is very clear about this.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used various methods to increase fiscal revenue, which did have some effect.

Under the prosperity of any dynasty, the most bitter people are the people at the bottom.

For now, the Han Dynasty was at the peak of its national power.

Liu Zhang saw that the people were not doing well, and Liu Zhang was also very helpless about this.

They often miss the rule of Wenjing, which was the happiest time for them.

Liu Zhang led his army to Longkang County in the evening, and they came to the shore of the whirlpool.

Cao Bin and Cheng Kan returned to their respective counties, and their mission was completed.

Taishou gave them paperwork, and they will not be held accountable.

But they will not be rewarded, they do not control the rebellion of the county under their jurisdiction.

This time, they were not rewarded or punished, and the two of them were still very happy.

Liu Zhang went to Longkang County, where the governor of Pei County would pick him up.

Whirlpool is a tributary of the left bank of the upper reaches of the Huaishui River, where fish and shrimp are abundant.

Liu Zhang received a document from the Peijun Taishou, and Wang Binghui, the governor of Peijun, would come to support them.

Wang Bing was in charge of the security of the entire county, and some time ago he led people to clean up the bandits who were causing trouble near Xiang County.

Kill or arrest those bandits, so that they have time to support Liu Zhang and them.

Wang Bing arrived in Longkang County yesterday and learned about the local situation.

He did not wipe out the rogues in Longkang County, and he did not bring many people.

It is necessary to meet with Liu Zhang, and then clear out the rogues in Longkang County.

The rogues occupied the vantage point of the Huai Shui and the Whirlpool, and they gathered the ships together.

The rogues here are not very easy to deal with, and they want to have a water war with the rogues.

Then it is necessary to mobilize the building ship army, and also transfer the ships from several nearby counties.

Liu Zhang rushed over with more than 7,000 officers and soldiers, and he came to the shore of the whirlpool.

A tall middle-aged man was seen standing on the shore, he was wearing a red official uniform.

He wears a martial crown and a black sac, and the lieutenant of a county wears a silver seal and blue ribbon.

On both sides of the crown is a feather inserted into the military attaché, which is the costume symbol of the military attaché.

Wang Bing's left hand held the handle of the knife, and the knife was not unsheathed.

His eyes were fixed on the center of the river, where the rogues lined up the boats.

From a distance, it looks like an island, with large and small ships connected together.

It was smooth and sunny today, with a breeze on your face.

"These rogues have robbed all the ships in Longkang County, and if they want to defeat them, they can only mobilize the Lou Boat Army to come over."

"Captain Wang, I see that they have connected large and small ships together. I think it's a great opportunity, don't you think? ”

Watching the boats fastened with chains and ropes, this is the scene.

It reminded him of the burning of Chibi in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, if these rogues continued to keep large and small ships side by side.

If there is a strong wind, Liu Zhang can use fire to deal with them.

The subspace watch has been tested, and the width of the scourge is about thirty meters.

The water is about three meters deep, and a gentle breeze blows the surface of the river.

The water of the river is sparkling, and you can see aquatic plants, fish and shrimp in the water.

There are also some snails on the banks of the river, and the river is not polluted.

"It would be nice if there was a strong wind, preferably southeast in summer and northwest in autumn and winter."

Wang Bing heard him mention the wind, and then looked at the connected boats.

His eyes lit up suddenly, this trick was too good.

It's early summer in April, and the southeast wind blows.

Deal with those rogues by burning them, and their side will even have zero casualties.

"yes, hopefully the southeast wind will blow soon. These rogues are now blocked on the surface of the water and the pot water, and if we let them out of the encirclement, then we will fall short. ”

After making so many preparations, Wang Bing has been thinking about how to deal with the rogues who occupy the river.

Liu Zhang's words made him suddenly have an idea.

First of all, there must be a few small boats, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of the rogues.

Igniting the rogue's ship with fire, they were unable to separate the connected ship for a short time.

If they don't want to be burned, they can only jump into the river.

Even if they could swim, the officers and soldiers could shoot them with bows and crossbows.

If this plan can be implemented smoothly, it will be too easy to deal with the rogues.

"Maybe they thought of that too, and they had to tie the boats together. Presumably, most of them are not good in water, but they can't go ashore. ”

These rogues are not stupid, but they are also helpless.

Connecting the boats together allows them to move smoothly on the boat.

Liu Zhang and Wang Bing watched as the rows of boats drifted eastward, blocked by the building boat army at the exit of the river to the east.

He felt that the wind was not very strong now, and it was not up to the ideal wind force to set fire to the ship.

Liu Zhang expected that the southeast wind would blow soon, and he would also set fire to the boat.
