Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the planning of military advisor Xi Zhicai, Liu Bei successfully ambushed Bocai's troops in Funiu Mountain and successfully shot Bocai to death.  In this battle, more than 20,000 enemies were killed, and more than 35,000 surrendered. The rest fled deep into the forest and were nowhere to be found.  "According to my opinion, all these rebels should be executed!" Zhu Jun clenched his fists and said indignantly.  "Yes, not killing is not enough to deter the thieves!" Huangfu Song also echoed.  Liu Bei was not surprised at all by the methods of these two men. Historically, the two of them had refused Han Zhong's surrender.  The two believed that if the Yellow Turbans surrendered in adversity and continued to riot and loot in good times, then this behavior would be condoning the Yellow Turbans.  Not killing is not enough to make the people angry, not killing is not enough to scare Xiao Xiao.  "Two generals, after all, these people were bewitched by Zhang Jiao and others. In fact, they are just common people who are suffering!" Liu Bei said sincerely: "Besides, once we kill the soldiers, the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers will  They must fight to the death with us! Because they know that even surrender is a dead end. "In the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion, too many people died. In addition, in the future struggle for hegemony, countless people died, which directly led to the death of many people.  The decline of the Han Dynasty gave the nomads outside the Great Wall an opportunity to invade the Central Plains, resulting in a tragic chaos - the Wuhu Rebellion.  As a later generation, Liu Bei must of course try his best to avoid these tragic things from happening, otherwise it would be a wasted time.  "Then according to Xuande's words, is there a way to solve these surrendered soldiers?" Huangfu Song thought for a moment and asked.  "Two generals, why don't we surrender to them and select the best of them to join our army? Then we will have more people to deal with the remaining Yellow Turbans!" Liu Bei expressed his thoughts and at the same time  His eyes glanced at Cao Cao unconsciously.  Historically, Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers were composed of a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers who followed Cao Cao in the north and south, and earned a great reputation.  "General, I also agree with General Liu's suggestion." Cao Cao, who was glanced at by Liu Bei, also stepped forward and said.  "Two generals, let me tell you the truth, there are a large number of Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers in my army." Liu Bei pointed to his army in order to increase his persuasion.  Following the direction of Liu Bei's fingers and seeing those former Yellow Turban soldiers carefully executing various orders, Zhu Jun nodded and said: "In that case, according to what Xuande said, we don't want these people in the army.  , I'll leave it all to you." "Bei, thank you for your mercy, general." Liu Bei bowed his hand to Zhu Jun and said in his heart, "You don't want anything better, brother, I want it." "Xuande is so kind and righteous!"  In the eyes of Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and others, Liu Bei is simply a humble gentleman with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.  At this time, Zhang Fei carried a yellow turban thief general in front of Liu Bei.  "Brother, these two yellow scarf thieves will be captured alive by me!" Zhang Fei slammed the two of them to the ground, smiled and said to Liu Bei.  It was obvious that he was here to seek reward.  "The third brother has made great achievements in capturing the general. I will record it for my brother." Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile.  "What are your names?" Liu Bei turned around and said to the two yellow scarf generals kneeling on the ground.  "The villain Liu Pi!" "The villain Gong Du!" Liu Pi and Gong Du quickly kowtowed and announced their names.     Ah!  It turned out to be you two. Liu Bei laughed in his heart after hearing this. These two brothers were Liu Bei's team members in history. It seems that I am lucky today.  "You were captured today, are you willing to surrender?" Liu Bei asked, glaring at the two men with a majestic look on his face.  "The villain is willing to surrender!" Seeing Bo Cai's tragic death, the two people who thought they could not escape death hurriedly said, their heads banging on the ground.  "Third brother, I'll leave these two to you, give me some advice!" Liu Bei directly transferred the two of them to Zhang Fei's account.  After being surrendered to the concentration camp, Liu Bei stood on a high platform with the support of Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others.  "Listen, you, I am a conferred title by the imperial court. The loyal and righteous Lieutenant General and the prefect of Yingchuan, Liu Bei. Bei, have been ordered to punish the thieves. I have killed Bo Cai today and surrendered you. I wanted to put you to death according to the law.  Ming Zheng Dian punishes me! Although God has the virtue of saving lives, as punishment, you must join the official army and help me destroy the traitor army!" Liu Bei continued to talk as he looked at the bustling and chattering soldiers.  He raised his voice and shouted: "It is limited to three years. Within this period, those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. They will all be treated as officers and soldiers. After three years, whether you go or stay will be based on your own will."  Don¡¯t force yourself to stay.¡±Later, Liu Bei learned from Mao Zu's strategy to add motivation and hope to these surrendered soldiers.  The crowd of people who were demoted suddenly became excited. They thought that even if they did not kill them, they would be assigned as coolies. Who would have thought that such a good thing would happen? They rushed to join the army one by one, for fear that they would not have the chance to be late.  "Liu Bei is really a hero, and his actions are really extraordinary!" Cao Cao looked at the excited crowd with his own eyes and sighed in his heart.  In this way, Liu Bei easily gained the support of these yellow turban surrendered soldiers, adding more than 35,000 troops to his army, and his number of soldiers and horses suddenly expanded to 60,000.  But Liu Bei also knew that these people could only be regarded as cannon fodder and were far from elites. However, Liu Bei was not worried at all. Elites also grew up from cannon fodder!  In fact, for these yellow turban soldiers, it is good to survive in this troubled world where food and clothing are scarce. As for who they work for, that is not their concern. Moreover, if they can really become an officer, they will not be able to cultivate in a few lifetimes.  What a blessing.  After the recruitment was completed, Liu Bei ordered Dian Wei to temporarily reorganize them, then clean the battlefield, bury the corpses, and then go to Ye County with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's troops.  The Yellow Turban camp outside Ye County directly became the headquarters of Liu Bei's troops. After dividing the baggage in the camp with Zhu Jun and others, they took a break and took the time to train soldiers.  The battles in the past few days have left many injured soldiers under Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's Zheng family. At this time, they took this opportunity to recuperate in the city.  Liu Bei is thinking about how to adjust the various generals he currently has. The imperial court has already awarded him rewards for the military merits he reported.  Guan, Zhang, Dian and Huang were all promoted to school captains.  And now that he has more than 90,000 soldiers and horses, he must arrange them properly for future dispatch.  After much deliberation, I had to let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong unite their armies first.  In order to respect history, Liu Bei transferred Zhou Cang to Guan Yu's tent and became Guan Yu's deputy general. He continued to carry the sword for Guan's second brother. The two of them were stationed in Jiaxian County to arrange food and fodder for the army!  Zhang Fei commanded Liu Pi and Gong Du who had just surrendered. These two people were also loyal to Liu Bei throughout their history. This made Liu Bei feel at ease with them. He also placed Tang Zhou under Zhang Fei's command, reminding Zhang Fei all the time.  , to prevent Zhang Fei from being greedy and causing trouble.  Dian Wei still teamed up with Chen Dao. Dian Wei was the best in the three armies, but his ability to command troops was poor. Although Chen Dao was young, he was able to manage all the affairs of the general in an orderly manner.  Originally, Dian Wei proposed to Liu Bei that Chen Dao should be the leader, but Liu Bei was worried that Chen Dao would not be able to suppress the morale of the army at a young age, so he could only let Dian Wei continue to be the leader first, and then change him later.  The person who makes Liu Bei the most worry-free is Huang Zhong. He is in his prime in his thirties and has more than ten years of military experience. With his civil service, he is enough to be powerful.  Each of the four tribes commanded 20,000 troops, while the two brothers He Yi and He Man commanded 10,000 troops under their own tents to stay in Yangdi and temporarily listen to Xun Yu's orders.  By the time all this was arranged, another seven or eight days had passed. After simple reorganization and training, the army was able to maintain orderly queues and follow orders and prohibitions.  This made Liu Bei very satisfied. At least the march was orderly and not so chaotic.  The most surprising thing about the changes in these reduced soldiers was Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and others who were marching together. In just a few days, these reduced soldiers were trained to this level. Liu Bei was worthy of being called a famous general.  Liu Bei was slightly pleased with the praise given by the two men, but he knew his own affairs well, and these reductions were just a show, and he still didn't know anything about the transformation of various military formations.  But I'm not much better, just a little better than them.  Compared with Liu Bei's joy, Zhang Mancheng, who occupied Wancheng, was a little anxious. Not only did he regret that Bo Cai failed to stop the imperial troops, but he also regretted his own 100,000 troops.  Now the imperial troops and horses are continuing to move south, approaching Wancheng. Although he now has nearly 500,000 troops, Zhang Mancheng knows that these people can deal with ordinary people, but if they deal with the imperial troops, it is not that easy.  of.  "Commander, why don't we abandon Wancheng and find another place." Sun Xia looked at Zhang Mancheng, who was frowning.  "Abandon the city? It's easier said than done! Besides, where will so many of us go if we abandon the city?" Zhang Mancheng strongly disapproved of abandoning the city. How could he just say no to the city he finally captured?  "Commander! We have 500,000 soldiers and horses. Are we still afraid of the imperial court's few soldiers and horses? We can drown them all with just one breath of spitting." General Zhao Hong said carelessly.  "Yes, if we escape without a fight, everyone in the world will laugh." Han Zhong also stepped forward and said to Zhang Mancheng.  Like Zhang Mancheng, these two people are also reluctant to leave the prosperous Wancheng. The example of Bo Cai isAt present, think about how they treated Bocai at the beginning. If Bocai defected to others in the future, the fate of Bocai would be the fate of people like him.  "If you say so, how can I, the dignified commander of Fangqu Qu, escape without a fight?" Zhang Mancheng slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Send my military order! From now on, stock up on food and grass, strengthen the city defense, and wait for the arrival of the officers and soldiers." "  "Promise!" After hearing the order, Sun Xia, Zhao Hong, and Han Zhong responded with their hands, and then went down to convey the order.  Soon, Wancheng was busy. Soldiers were everywhere on the city. The Yellow Turban soldiers carried a large number of kerosene arrows to the city. What's more, they also collected a large number of rocks and rolling wood from the mountains and forests near the city.  .
