Chapter 232 Go home and listen to Erqiao Fuqu! Yuan Shao: Xuande is a kind man! Sima Yi: Hate for taking away his wife!
Liu Bei took Zhang Chunhua and his party to inspect the main cities in Hanoi County, and then returned to the previous Allied camp with soldiers and horses.
More than 200,000 people were imprisoned here, including Cao Yuan’s soldiers and civilian husbands.
Everyone’s mood is fairly stable. After all, Liu Bei has no record of killing prisoners or massacring cities. On the contrary, he is very benevolent!
A few days later, Zhao Yun came with 200,000 Xianbei and Karasuma women, and millions of cattle and sheep!
Liu Bei went out of the camp for twenty miles to meet Zhao Yun, who was still very young.
He got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, “Your subordinates see you, my lord!”
Liu Bei helped him up, held Zhao Yun’s hand tightly, and said with a smile.
“Zilong, we haven’t seen each other for almost two years, you are becoming more and more heroic,” Zhao Yun sighed,
“The lord is becoming more and more heroic and young, and his subordinates are envious…”
“Ha ha”
Liu Bei laughed,
“Let’s go, Zilong will follow me into the camp, we must have a good drink today!”
at the banquet,
Liu Bei raised his glass,
“Everyone, this time our army was able to defeat the joint attack of the three vassals of the Kanto region, thanks to the best efforts of all the soldiers, I would like to offer you a toast.”
“Thank you, my lord!”
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun again,
“You Zilong is stationed in Yanmen, let me stabilize the northern border, let us defend against the enemy with peace of mind, a toast to you”
Zhao Yun’s eyes are red
“My lord has shown me kindness and entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. It is not an exaggeration to swear to serve me to the death.”
Zhang Fei also sighed,
“Ten years ago, I was still selling pork in Zhuo County. Who would have thought that after following my eldest brother, I am now a general with tens of thousands of troops?”
The others were also filled with emotion, Liu Bei smiled and said,
“Without you, I would not have achieved what I am today. Come on, I must drink everything tonight.”
All the people toasted to each other, and drank a lot.
Zhang Fei asked with the help of alcohol,
“Brother, there is one thing I don’t understand. After the victory, why didn’t we take Yecheng directly and occupy the land of Hebei?”
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu,
“Yun Chang, tell the third brother.” Guan Yu stroked his long beard,
“Third brother, although Yuan Shao was defeated, he still has a hundred thousand soldiers and a strong city to defend. Our army has no siege equipment, how can we take down Yecheng?”
“Besides, it was snowing heavily, and it was extremely difficult to attack the city. Our army had won a big victory, but if the siege of Yecheng was unfavorable, wouldn’t it make Yuan Jun regain his confidence?”
Zhang Fei thought about it and understood.
Guan Yu said again,
“Besides, the battle has lasted for several months, and the soldiers are exhausted, so they should refresh themselves.” Liu Bei and Guo Jia looked at each other and nodded.
Liu Bei laughed and said,
“Okay, the second brother is very knowledgeable, I will hand over the Hanoi front to you, and I can sit back and relax!”
Guan Yu cupped his fists,
“Don’t worry, brother, I will definitely play by ear.” Liu Bei nodded,
“The spies have come to report that Yuan Shao has suffered a serious illness and is now bedridden. When Yuan Shao passes by, his two sons will definitely fight. Then it is time for us to act.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up, occupying Hebei, more than half of the world is in the hands of the lord!
Early the next morning, the entire barracks was in motion. Liu Bei and the others stood on the high platform,
Below are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and in the distance there are surrendered soldiers and civilian husbands watching.
Liu Bei said loudly,
“All the soldiers have contributed to this great victory. I will stop talking nonsense. Next is the time to award the rewards for this battle!”
All the soldiers shouted, “Mighty!”
“mighty!”
The chorus of hundreds of thousands of people shook the sky and left a deep impression on the onlookers.
“Xu Hu, kill two enemies, take five prisoners, be promoted to Shichang, get eighty acres of fertile land, twenty cattle and sheep, and three female slaves!”
Xu Hu with a simple and honest face came to the stage, and Liu Bei personally presented him with an award,patted him on the shoulder,
“Good job!”
Xu Long cried excitedly,
“My lord, I will fight the enemy bravely in the future and serve my lord!”
“Okay, I look forward to your future performance”
Next, there were hundreds of people who made relatively high meritorious service, all of which were awarded by Liu Bei himself, and the others were handed over to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others.
The allied soldiers and civilian husbands who were watching were stunned, and their eyes were red, “No wonder Xuande’s soldiers are so elite, their rewards are so good!”
“That Xu Hu came here in a hurry, I’m talking about good fields!”
“Mr. Xuande has a woman in the field, so a certain one can kill the enemy with all his might!”
Some prisoners inquired about Liu Beijun’s food and salary, and their eyes became even redder, more than twice as much as theirs!
The award ceremony was held for a day, and the Allied soldiers were jealous for a day.
That afternoon, Liu Bei ordered people to kill chickens and sheep, so that everyone had a good meal, and even the prisoners shared some meat, a bowl of hot broth and flatbread.
early the next morning,
Liu Bei announced that the soldiers who are willing to join them can be recruited on a merit basis, and those who are unwilling will be given ten days of food and grass, and let them go home.
Everyone shouted Xuande Gongren, benevolence and justice,
Tens of thousands of bachelors enthusiastically signed up, and Liu Bei took 15,000 of them, and the rest will be soldiers in the field first, depending on the later performance.
The remaining 180,000 people went home through the wind and snow,
Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to lead his troops there, firstly to escort them, and secondly to prevent them from disturbing the people.
Gao Lan, a famous general in Hebei Province, surrendered to Liu Bei and was named Zhonglang General.
Liu Bei sent a special letter, asking Yuan Shao not to embarrass Gao Lan’s family, but to release his son and more than 200,000 young adults himself. Yuan Shao will still give this little face.
Gao Lan was really moved.
So far, in Hebei Sitingzhu, Liu Bei got two, killed one, and left Wen Chou.
Liu Bei healed Chen Wu’s injuries again and asked him to return to Lujiang with the Lujiang soldiers who were willing to go home.
Chen Wu is grateful,
“Xuande Gong is benevolent and righteous, and I, Chen Wu, will remember it in my heart”
After finishing these things, Liu Bei led the army back to Chang’an. The war is over and the soldiers have gained a lot. It’s time to go home for a good year. Liu Bei hasn’t heard Er Qiao playing music for a long time.
…Yecheng,
Yuan Shao’s condition was up and down, “My Shang’er!”
Yuan Shao’s second wife, Liu Shi, comforted him by the side,
She was the biological mother of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and she was extremely jealous. As soon as Yuan Shao died, she killed Yuan Shao’s five concubines and their families.
She also likes the youngest son, and wants Yuan Shao to make Yuan Shang his heir.
In history, he held Zhen Mi’s face and looked up, offering her to Cao Pi in order to save his life.
“Report!~”
Xu You ran in, “Master, you’re back!”
“Master Yuan Shang and tens of thousands of soldiers are back.” Yuan Shang ran in quickly,
“Father, mother, I’m back.” Yuan Shao’s heart was shocked, “Shang’er is back?!”
After Yuan Shang explained the situation, Yuan Shao sighed, “Liu Bei is a kind man!”
Xu You sighed inwardly,
“My lord thinks so, why don’t the tens of millions of people in Hebei think so!”
…Xu County,
Sima Yi was designated as a charioteer and cavalry general’s mansion of literature, and he was with Cao Cao for a long time, and made friends with the second son Cao Pi.
Cao Cao looked at the report on the case table,
“Hmph, not only did Liu Bei let Yuan Shang go, he also let go of more than 200,000 young men from Hebei.” Sima Yi cupped his fists,
“My lord, this Liu Bei is trying to buy the hearts of the people in Hebei. He let Yuan Shang go back because he wants him to compete with Yuan Tan. He wants to be a fisherman.”
Cao Cao nodded, and looked at Sima Yi meaningfully, “Liu Bei stole your wife, what do you think?”
Sima Yi said angrily,
“Liu Bei is shameless, I have a sworn hatred with him!”
As for what he was thinking, no one knows.
Cao Cao was noncommittal,
“I heard that you have a close relationship with Cao Pi.” Sima Yi was startled and clasped his fists quickly.
“Second Young Master and I are just chatting”
Cao Cao chuckled, “It’s a good thing to have a chat.”
After a few words, Sima Yi was already in a cold sweat.
Zhang Xiu was killed by Liu Bei, and the Zou family was also accepted by Liu Bei as a concubine. Naturally, there is no such thing as Wancheng.
His eldest son Cao Ang is naturally fine.
There are only two 817 heir candidates in Cao Cao’s field of vision: Cao Ang and the child prodigy Cao Chong.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are still out of his sight.
Cao Cao looked at the others again,
“How do you feel about the current situation?”
Xun Yu cupped his fists,
“My lord, Liu Bei’s victory this time is equivalent to announcing to the whole world that Liu Bei is already the strongest among all the princes.”
Cao Cao felt pain in his heart, but he had to admit that this was the truth.
Xun Yu continued,
“My lord, there are a few important things for our army now, the first is to stabilize the existing territory, so as to avoid this rebellion.
Second, train elite troops. In this Liu Bei battle, we can see that soldiers are more expensive than elite.”
Cao Cao nodded, this time he suffered a great loss from the rattan armored soldiers.
“Thirdly, Yuan Shao’s condition is worsening. My lord must be ready at any time to take control of Hebei and compete with Liu Bei in Hebei! There is also a need to strengthen the penetration of Jingzhou. These two places will be the focus of our future competition.”
“Okay, Wen Ruo is right, Zhong Da, what do you think?”
“My lord, my subordinates believe that our army can win over Sun Ce from Jiangdong. In the future competition for Jingzhou, he will need him to disperse Liu Bei’s forces. This subordinate believes that we can represent Sun Ce as the shepherd of Yangzhou.”
“Yangzhou shepherd?”
Cao Cao was a little hesitant, but Yangzhou would also include Jiujiang and Huainan.
Sima Yi cupped his hands,
“My lord, Master Xun said that our future focus is on Hebei and Jingzhou. Jiujiang County is now full of bandits, and most of the population has already been taken away by Liu Bei. It is not of much value.”
Cao Cao stood up,
“Okay, I will represent Sun Ce as the shepherd of Yangzhou, and Zhou Yu as the prefect of Jiangxia!”
“My lord is wise!”
Cao Cao felt a little upset again. If he had welcomed Liu Xie to Xu County back then, how could it be so difficult now?
“Could it be that Liu Bei killed the emperor? In order not to be arrestedElbow, pretending to be a rebel army and killing the emperor?”
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he realized it was possible.
“Then Liu Bei is really ruthless, with such a deep layout?”
