Chapter 410 Capture and Kill Xu He

"The reinforcements have arrived, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

Liu Ye shouted loudly, and the five hundred cavalry shouted in unison.

"Get in!"

Ma Chao brandished a golden spear with a tiger head, and three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry followed closely behind Liu Ye. They rushed forward in one go, breaking through the formation of nearly ten thousand yellow scarf soldiers was like cutting a thin piece of paper.

After three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry circumvented Zhou Su's formation, Xu He's nearly ten thousand Chinese troops rushed straight from the southwest corner and broke through it with ease.

Ma Chao led three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry freely among nearly ten thousand yellow scarf thieves. All of a sudden, the yellow turban bandits were strewn with corpses, and there were corpses everywhere.

Although nearly 10,000 yellow scarf thieves are the elite under Xu He's command, they are also human beings. Seeing the sharpness of Xiliang cavalry's soldiers, they can only hold on for a while.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Bandits had already suffered a lot of casualties, Liu Ye frowned slightly, this time sending out troops cost a lot, Xun You worked hard to mobilize manpower and material resources in Guanzhong to be responsible for Liu Ye's fierce battle in the Central Plains, Guanzhong lost a lot of vitality.

Liu Ye sent troops this time not only to defeat Xu He and stabilize the Central Plains, but also to use war to support war and plunder the population. In history, Cao Cao was in the place of the Four Wars in the Central Plains, but why was he able to become stronger as he fought? The reason is that Cao Cao knows how to use war to support war. He was ordered by the court to pacify Qingzhou and plundered the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army with millions of people, so he was able to fight stronger and stronger.

Xu He also has millions of people under his command. Liu Ye is very greedy for these millions of people. If he can get one million people, then the war potential of his subordinates will be greatly enhanced, so blindly killing is not a good strategy. .

Thinking of this, Liu Ye yelled immediately, and then shouted: "I will listen to the yellow scarf thieves, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, if you are willing to surrender, I can promise to spare you and your wives and children. Even if you want to die, you have to think about your wife and children, right?"

Nearly ten thousand yellow scarf thieves were taken aback when they heard Liu Ye's words.

Yes, it's not that they don't have a family. Xu He placed their family in Yanzhou. If they died, wouldn't the family be slaughtered by Liu Ye?

Seeing that many soldiers were stunned, they seemed to really want to surrender. Xu He hurriedly shouted: "Don't fall for Liu Ye's tricks! Liu Ye is Huangfusong's disciple. When he was in Qingzhou and Changshe, his subordinates were stained with the blood of many brothers. The words of this butcher Can you believe it?"

The yellow turban thief who had intended to surrender heard Xu He's words, and suddenly came to his senses: Yes, when Liu Ye fought against the Yellow Turban in his early years, he defeated Xu Shuai in Qingzhou, and Changshe and Huangfu Song defeated Bo Shuai with fire , can you believe his words?

Liu Ye said in a loud voice: "A few months ago, a few months ago, when the Baibo bandits in the river were conquered, Li Le, Hu Cai and others in the ranks of Baibo bandits all surrendered. Now they have been named lieutenant colonel, and they have washed away the stigma of the bandits. , it can be said that the ancestors are glorious, and the soldiers under him have also been treated kindly."

"Pearls and jades are in front of you, can I still deceive you and wait?"

After that, Liu Ye's face turned serious, and he looked at Xu He: "Listen up, as long as you can turn your back on the dark and kill Xu He, you will be able to forgive your past, and you can even divide the land and let you disarm and return to the fields." Have a good time with the whole family!"

As soon as these words came out, most of the yellow scarf thieves were stunned and looked at Liu Ye.

Why did the Yellow Turbans rebel? In fact, the roots have been buried in the period of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty, two hundred years ago. The reason why Guangwu was able to quickly pacify the world was because he relied on the power of aristocratic families. For example, Deng Yu, the head of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, was from a noble family in Nanyang, and Liu Xiu also knew how to repay his kindness. Don't hesitate to award rewards, including a large amount of land.

After all, the land is limited, and if the imperial court wants to divide the land, it is impossible to change it out of thin air. During the period of Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Mingzhang, the first few emperors who founded the country were relatively wise and knew how to reconcile right and wrong. However, since their relatives intervened in politics, they were all young emperors who didn't know how to govern at all, and land annexation became more and more fierce. As a result, the land in the hands of the peasants became less and less, and the peasants could not eat enough, so naturally they could only rebel.

"Liu Cheqi won't lie to us, will he really give us land?"

"That's right, what if you lie to us?"

Liu Ye's face was grim, and he put the long money on the ground casually. With his right hand, he pulled out the knife around his waist and swiped hard at his left hand. There was a bloodstain in the palm of his left hand, and the blood slowly flowed out from the wound. .

"I hereby promise that if I deceive you, I will definitely die!"

Why did the distribution of land to farmers during the Northern Wei Dynasty achieve miraculous results, while the Han and Tang dynasties' land equalization and land restriction orders failed to achieve results?

The reason is very simple. The reason why Emperor Xiaowen dared to distribute land to farmers was because of the long-term war in the north, and the country had a large amount of unowned wasteland in its hands, so it could naturally be distributed to farmers who did not have land.

Although Xu He swept the Central Plains, he killed a large number of gentry tyrants. It can be said that Yanzhou has undergone a major reshuffle under the impact of Xu He, but Xu He has not had time to divide the land, so Liu Ye If here If you take advantage of the opportunity, you can take the opportunity to control a large amount of wasteland in Yanzhou.

Yanzhou is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It has been the birthplace of Chinese civilization since ancient times. It has been developed for a long time and has a large amount of cultivated land. Therefore, if you can control the land and population of Yanzhou, then Liu Ye's hegemony will take a big step forward.

His parents, who had skin and body, saw that Liu Ye had actually scratched his palm and swore an oath of blood, so they believed him a little bit.

Seeing this, Liu Ye struck while the iron was hot: "However, Xu He is the culprit. I will have to give an explanation to the court. As long as you can kill Xu He, I will never break my promise!"

Hearing Liu Ye's words, nearly ten thousand yellow turban thieves immediately turned their knife hilts upside down, and all looked at Xu He.

Xu He suddenly had a feeling of being surrounded by a pack of wolves. The eyes of nearly ten thousand yellow scarf thieves stared at Xu He as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Xu He was taken aback for a moment, and then he was tongue-tied: "You guys, what do you want to do?"

"I am your commander-in-chief, is it possible that you are going to offend me later?"

A handsome young man gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Xu Shuai, I wanted to be happy and happy in Qingzhou at first, but you insisted on leading us out to rebel and make meritorious deeds. Now Liu Cheqi is kind, please spare my life, and you will Kill yourself!"

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!" Xu He was stunned, and laughed out loud, his laughter was extremely desolate, like an old crow scratching and screaming.
