Chapter 91: The Yellow Turban Rebellion (5)
Liu Bei and his entourage went straight to the outside of the city, and when they saw Zhang Fei and others, they couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Xian came just in time, I was in the camp, packed up my weapons, and I hated that there was no horse to ride, God bless me."

But it turned out that Zhang Fei and his entourage also drove hundreds of good horses from the north. Zhang Fei turned over and dismounted lightly, gave a salute, and said with a smile: "But Uncle Zijing heard that his brother would recruit troops, so he entrusted the two uncles Zhongshan Su and Zhang to prepare some horses for my brother, and asked me to drive all the way south." ”
Liu Gong went to Fuyu for the sake of Su and Zhang, and after the matter was perfectly resolved, the relationship between the three became even stronger. This time, the Youzhou Yellow Turban also started, and the business route was blocked, so Su and Zhang simply transferred these horses to Liu Gong, anyway, they had to consume countless horse materials every day when they were kept at home.
Liu Gong talked to Huang Zhong and Jian Yong one by one. Finally, he walked up to Guan Yu and said happily: "This is the strong man of Hedong Guan?" "Guan Yu's appearance is really good. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are heroic.
Guan Yu looked at it, and saw that the person in front of him was slightly shorter than himself, elegant but awe-inspiring, with a kind smile and a mighty eye, knowing that this person was his future military master, the famous Liu Bei Liu Xuande, he didn't say much at the moment, hugged his fists and bowed, and said: "Hedong Guan Yu, meet the lord, the outlaw, and hope that the lord will not be despicable with feathers, and accept it with pity." Yu is willing to die for the Lord. ”
There is a Han generation, and the wind of raising scholars is still endless. Since Guan Yu died in the rivers and lakes, he has been supporting Lou Sang for a long time, and he has long regarded himself as a guest of the Liu family, and now he sees Lou Sang's Liu family's well-deserved words, so he naturally worships his head.
Liu Bei helped Guan Yu up and said, "Why did Yun Chang say this." We are waiting for good men, because of fate, we will gather in one place. Bento work together to help the needy, report to the country, and go to Anlishu. This is the ambition of the whole life, and we should encourage it with you! ”
Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Jian Yong, Yan Yan, and Guan Yu all agreed: "A certain person is willing to follow the lord and work together to save the poor and help the needy, report to the country, and go down to Lishu!" ”
So he entered the Taishou Mansion, set up a banquet and wine, and drank a bitter drink. Liu Bei had four generals, Guan, Zhang, Huang, and Yan, and Jian Yong by his side, he was overjoyed, and he drank too much, and he couldn't help but get drunk.
On the second day, Liu Bei led everyone to the barracks. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others saw Sergeant Liu Bei lining up in the school field one by one, like stone figurines, not moving, and a forest atmosphere was permeating. I can't help but secretly praise in my heart, the lord is very human, and in a short period of time, the soldiers are well-trained. The soldiers pick the generals, the soldiers will pick the soldiers, and everyone is naturally grinding their fists one by one, and they are overjoyed. So Liu Bei ordered Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Yan, and Sha Mo to be the Sima in the army, and each received one. Yan Yan is also in charge of military law, and Jian Yong is the secretary of the army and the grain and grass officer. The responsibilities have been decided, and Liu Bei said with a straight face: "Since you are in the army, you must abide by military discipline, if anyone dares to violate my military orders, no matter how distant or close you are, you will definitely not be spared." ”
Liu Bei was extremely serious with a straight face, Rao is everyone was bold, and he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.
When everything was put in order, a trumpet cannon sounded, a three-way drum sounded, and the army poured out of the camp like a tidal wave. Guan Yu led a piece of himself as a pioneer, and the big Liu Zi flag flew in the wind. Guan Yu sat on the horse, holding a long knife, looking forward to self-ambition, and said in his heart, the eldest husband was born in this world, when he dominated the world, his name will remain in history, and this life will be in vain. Now, a new journey in life begins.
Liu Bei led the Chinese army, and after Yan Yan pressed, the army went all the way out of Jiangzhou, and hundreds of people and gentry outside the city wept and sent each other off. How many of the children of Shuzhong can return?
All the way out of Ba County, to the boundary of Jingzhou. Liu Bei ordered 7,000 children to camp and rest. Then he ordered the generals to discuss the affairs of the military tent in China. At this time, the seven counties of Jingzhou, Changsha, Nanjun, and Jiangxia fell successively, and it can be said that the essence of a state has lost its opponents. As for the three counties of Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling, although there are yellow turbans, they are located in remote areas, and Liu Bei has no time to take care of them for the time being. The most important thing is that at this time, Zhang Mancheng led tens of thousands of elites to wreak havoc in Nanyang County.
Nanyang County, more than 700 miles away from Luoyang, close to Sili, 37 cities, nearly 600,000 households, more than 2 million people. It is conceivable that if the entire territory of Nanyang falls into the hands of the Yellow Turbans, what kind of threat will be faced by the Jingshi.
Liu Bei carefully analyzed the strategy of the Yellow Turban Army, which was to desperately occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then march to the Beijing Division regardless of it. If the imperial court does not react and the internal response is still there, it may be able to attack the capital division in one go. But now that Luoyang City should die, when everyone talks about the yellow scarf, they still don't stop, digest the results, and bury their heads in the Beijing Division, which is stupid. In the eight passes around the Beijing Division, there are forbidden troops waiting for them, eyeing them. In this situation where there is no long-range artillery coverage, what is it to attack this treacherous pass, not to seek death?
And Nanyang, where the essence of the world is, is also one of the most powerful cities in the world. Zhang Mancheng turned the world upside down in Nanyang, attacked Wan several times and couldn't get down, but he still couldn't go, in Liu Bei's opinion, he was already hopelessly stupid.
After discussing for a while, the meaning of the generals was to go straight to Nanyang, break Zhang Mancheng, and break the danger of Wancheng. Liu Bei shook his head and disagreed.
Liu Bei said: "I have few soldiers and many thieves. It is easy to break a thief, but it is difficult to exterminate. If Zhang Mancheng is broken first, and then he leads the remnants to retreat into Runan or Jiangxia, he can make a comeback. If this is the case, it will become a tug-of-war, such an army is tired, when can Jingzhou be pacified? According to my intentions, I will first settle Nanjun and Jiangxia, and isolate the big river, so that Zhang Mancheng has nowhere to escape except Runan. Then gather the army again and break it with one drum. Jang Man-sung can be awarded Seoul. "He still has a thought that he hasn't spoken. He is in charge of Jingzhou, as long as Zhang Mancheng does not flee south into other counties of Jingzhou, he will go east into Runan County, and he will do as he wishes. He doesn't care, after pacifying Jingzhou, if the Runan Yellow Turban is undecided, he doesn't mind leading the army to Yuzhou to sweep again, in addition to training soldiers, Xun Yu is still there.
The decision has been made. He buried the pot to make rice, stayed overnight, and went straight to Yiling on the second day.
When Fang arrived at Jingmen Mountain, he heard that there were more than 10,000 yellow turban thieves who were camping in front. Liu Bei led the generals to the camp to watch the enemy, only to see a chaos, the banners could not be distinguished, the black crowd was crowded in the east and the west, and it was very messy. Liu Bei sighed: "Such thieves can also cause trouble in the world. Everyone, who broke it for me? ”
All the generals came out one after another, hugged their fists and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to go!" ”
Liu Bei saw that everyone's faces were eager to try and very active, so he smiled and said: "I see the moth thief like a chicken and a dog, but the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength." And this is our first contribution to quelling the chaos, all the generals can go together, I am in the camp, cheering for you! ”
The five generals' faces were happy, and they promised in unison, saying, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Liu Bei said: "Go, pass on my order, and those who descend will not die!" "A group of farmers who can't survive, Liu Bei really doesn't want to kill too much.
Then he heard a drum sound, and the five generals took the lead and led their troops to the Yellow Turban Thief. Guan and Zhang Ma were fast, and when they arrived at Dezhai, they shouted loudly and said, "Yellow Turban thief, come out quickly and send him to death!" ”
There was a big chaos in the Yellow Turban military camp, and they were used to running in Jingzhou, and no one thought that an official army would suddenly appear, weren't the officials and soldiers in Jingzhou all broken up by their own brothers, how could they dare to come out to fight?
After a while, he saw the camp wide open, and rode out on a prancing horse, followed by countless yellow turban thieves with spears in their hands, and the thieves scattered their heads, wiped their foreheads with yellow scarves, and held a spear, and shouted on their horses: "Good eagle dog, your grandfather has come to take your head!" ”
Guan Yu was furious, rode the horse to meet him, only one close, stabbed the thief in the heart, tied the head to the horse, and was about to turn the horse back. Then he saw another flash in the camp, and galloped out, and when he was near, he shot an arrow. Guan Yu heard the bad wind behind him, so he turned his body forward and dodged an arrow. Zhang Fei swept the formation, saw someone cast a cold arrow, angrily rushed to the crown, lifted the horse to meet him, only a lance, then the thief will be under the horse, picked the thief's corpse at the tip of the lance, Zhang Fei's tongue bloomed spring thunder, shouted: "Who dares to fight with a certain one!" ”
When the thieves saw that the two were unstoppable, they shouted, dragged the spears and spears in their hands, turned and left. At this time, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and Sha Mo all arrived, and when they saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had taken the first credit, they didn't say much, drove their mounts, each with a weapon, and rushed to the Yellow Turban camp. For a while, shouts of killing were everywhere.
In the camp, Liu Bei was on the high platform, carried a drumstick, and struck it vigorously, rumbling drums and fighting and crying were intertwined, and the sound shook the four fields.
In this fight, the yellow turban thieves were killed, trampling on each other and countless people died. The rest threw their weapons to the ground and surrendered.
Liu Bei cleaned up the battlefield after the war, and this time he beheaded more than 3,000 people, more than 4,000 descended, and the rest fled and scattered in the chaos, not knowing where to go. More than 100 of their own side were killed and hundreds were wounded. Liu Bei ordered Jian Yong to record his military exploits, and asked the sergeant to bury and burn the corpse. Record the sergeants who died in battle on a separate list, and reward them for their meritorious deeds in the future.
In the prisoner camp, there are mostly women and children, old and weak, Liu Bei sighed, there are so many people, how to settle them is really a problem. If you don't care, these people will either starve to death or return to the Yellow Turban, and if you want to care, you will be a guest army. Handed over to the magistrate, and they are afraid that these guys will kill the good and take the risk, they can do this kind of thing. After thinking about it, Liu Bei finally felt that it was better to hand it over to the magistrate for placement, but his military rations really couldn't keep up with the consumption, and he couldn't afford to manage more people. His only task at present is to counter the rebellion, and everything else can only be postponed. At most, I'll remind myself then.
When the army arrived at Yiling, they saw that the four gates were closed, and shouted for a long time before the soldiers trembled and made their heads, and after confirming their identities, they came out to receive Yiling. However, I don't know if I was frightened by the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, and refused to let Liu Bei lead the army into the city. Zhang Fei was angry, Liu Bei stopped him, and in the end, Liu Bei didn't bother to enter the city. It's better to stay with your own army, which is safe and can win people's hearts. Later, let Jian Yong go to publicize that he and the soldiers will sleep outside the city together, share weal and woe, and never go into the city alone to enjoy.
Yiling Ling heard that Liu Bei had thousands of prisoners handed over to him for disposal, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately changed his face, cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, carried fine wine, and sent it to the big camp to sacrifice the army without mentioning it.
