Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 72

Pingyuan City is the seat of the Pingyuan State, but it was determined by the battle between Liu Ye and Liu Bei. The yellow turban thieves who fled in all directions fled to several surrounding counties, and immediately brought the news to them. The yellow turban thieves stationed in several counties The leader is all frightened.

Tens of thousands of people would be defeated in one battle, and the thousands of people we have on hand are not enough for the officers and soldiers to squeeze between their teeth.

And Liu Bei and Liu Ye set up a list to calm the people in Pingyuan City, rested the army and horses, and at the same time sent sentry cavalry to issue imperial orders to the counties still occupied by the Yellow Turbans.

"You moth thieves are messing up the people and endangering the place. Today, Liu Ye, Marquis of the Qingzhou Army, and Liu Bei, the Sima of the Youzhou Army, came with a large army. They smashed tens of thousands of thieves in a short time, and killed the thieves. If you don’t come down early and abandon the city, the Marquis and Sima will supervise the army and go to ask for it in person, so don’t make mistakes!”

The scouts took dozens of documents and distributed them to nine counties in Pingyuan Kingdom except Gaotang County. They shot the documents into the city with arrows, and the Yellow Turban thieves were all terrified.

Leling County.

The Yellow Turbans have occupied this place for several months, and almost all the rich merchants and households have been killed. However, the Yellow Turbans blocked the gates on all sides, so the residents of the city suffered a lot.

But on this day, for some reason, the city gate of Leling County was suddenly opened, and then the yellow scarf thieves gathered in crowds, hurrying from Leling County, carrying packages of all sizes, one by one like refugees fleeing After rushing out, there was not even a single yellow scarf in Leling City.

"How did the moth thief go?"

"That's right. Could it be that this group of moth thieves still ran back to the mountains?"

"Could it be that the imperial army is here?"

At this time, someone picked up the notice document on the ground and found a few Confucian scholars who could read, and only then did they understand what was going on.

A Confucian scholar waved the document in his hand excitedly: "The Yellow Turban Bandit brought disaster to the Pingyuan Country. The so-called national calamity thinks about generals. Liu Junhou and Liu Sima swept Qingzhou. We are all saved, true heroes."

The ten counties in Pingyuan County saw this document and got the news from Kui Zuo. Everyone was in danger. Except for Xichang County and Yanci County, all the yellow scarf thieves in each city ran away cleanly. .

Most of the counties in Pingyuan Kingdom are determined by the news, only Xichang County and Yanci County are still entrenched by bandits. Liu Bei and Liu Ye waited patiently for five days and there was still no movement, determined to kill chickens to scare monkeys. Liu Ye led 300 cavalry, Guan Yu commanded 500 infantry, and Guan Hai stayed in the city to recuperate from his wounds. The two joined forces with more than 800 troops and rushed to Xichang County. Liu Ye selected a dozen healthy soldiers, pretended to be civilians, and came to the gate of the city. As a result, they violently wounded people. The city will be determined in two days.

Xichang City was pacified by the First World War, and the Yellow Turban Bandits in Yanci County were also frightened. They withdrew from the city within a few days. Before that, the Pingyuan Country, which was the hardest hit area, was taken by Liu Bei and Liu Ye in less than ten days. After sweeping away, each county organized young and strong defenders. After all, Liu Bei and Liu Ye only had so many subordinates. If they were scattered among ten cities, it would be a mess.

After Pingyuan Kingdom was settled down, Liu Bei sent a letter to his teacher Lu Zhi on a fast horse.

Outside Guangzong City, hearty laughter came from the officer camp.

The generals under his command were puzzled and took a step forward: "Why is General Bei Lang laughing?"

Lu Zhi raised the letter in his hand with a smile on his face: "Liu Ye of Qingzhou and Liu Bei of Youzhou, the two of them joined forces, and they conquered the plains a few days ago, and destroyed more than ten thousand thieves in the first battle. It is determined by the message, and the Pingyuan country will be wiped out."

"Liu Bei and Liu Ye? Aren't they the generals of Qingzhou Victory?"

"Exactly, I didn't expect these two people to be so good at fighting. First defeat Xu He, and then cut Meng Bao."

"Hey, let's not build up other people's ambitions and destroy our own prestige. Waiting for Bei Lang to break through the city and capture and kill the traitor army's General Ren Gong will be a great achievement!"

The generals under his command chattered endlessly, while Lu Zhi smiled slightly.

"I intend to send Erliu to help in the battle."

Some of the generals and school under Lu Zhi's tent were puzzled. The school lieutenant, Zheng Tong, clasped his fists together and said, "General Lang, we will besiege the city for a long time, and we will break it soon. Why should we share the credit with the two Lius? Meng Bao, is the credit enough?"

Lu Zhi stroked his beard lightly: "You don't know, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are the disciples who entered the room when a certain person taught scriptures and studied."

Zheng Tong retreated to the ranks, while the rest of the generals suddenly realized that Liu Bei was a disciple of General Bei Lang, no wonder he used his soldiers like a god, and the one who invited him was also his own, since he was his own, the hostility disappeared immediately.

Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "Generals, moth thieves are making trouble now, but God bless the great man, the second Liu Hengkong was born, and he conquered Qingzhou. If the second Liu Xijin joins forces with me, why not worry about Jizhou being wiped out?"

Lu Zhi's remarks were leaked in private. He was originally a master of Confucian classics in the world, and he was as famous as Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan and others, so he was recruited by the court as a minister. Equally famous, he is a scholar-bureaucrat with both civil and military skills, and his reputation is prominent in the world. His high evaluation of Er Liu has made the two of them even more prestigious in the world, whether they are scholars or civilians.

Why was Cao Cao famous all over the world? Isn't it just relying on Xu Zijiang's Yuedan comment, "Zi is a capable minister who governs the world, and a hero in troubled times." Liu Bei and Liu Ye were called the Second Liu by Lu Zhi, and they also had the military exploits of conquering Qingzhou and suppressing Pingyuan Kingdom. However, the victory in Qingzhou was inevitably shared by Gong Jing, but this time the suppression of Pingyuan Kingdom was decided Thanks to the credit, Gong Jing can't join the team.

All of a sudden, Erliu's reputation soared, especially in the north and south of the Yellow River. At that time, the 18 princes withdrew from the alliance, and Yuan Shaowo was in Bohai County, raising tens of thousands of troops, frowning. As a result, the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince won the support of the Jizhou gentry, which made Jizhou Governor Han Fu have to give up Jizhou Yuan Shao.

The same is true for Yuan Shu. Liu Biao was appointed as the shepherd of Jingzhou back then, but in fact there was only one Nanjun under his command. Yuan Shu is also the direct son of the Yuan family, and his status is higher than Yuan Shao's. His sphere of influence includes more than half of Jingzhou and lesser half of Yuzhou. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's insistence on provoking Cao Cao, I'm afraid it might be whoever was able to pacify the Central Plains.

Now the rule of the Han Dynasty is relatively stable, and the reputation may not be a big deal, but when the Han loses its deer and the heroes fight, the importance of reputation will be revealed. Sometimes this kind of soft power is more important than hard power such as soldiers and horses. much more important.

And it was at this moment that Lu Zhi's message arrived in Pingyuan City.
