() Speaking of which, just as Liu Pi Gong Du joined forces and rushed back to flee, he met the cavalry commander. General Huang Xu led three thousand cavalry to rush in. There were few cavalry in the Central Plains, let alone areas on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Ten thousand cavalry were only made by Liu Qi after he subdued Zhang Xiu, combined with the Xiliang cavalry under Zhang Xiu, and the original ones.
Jingzhou is far away from the place where horses are produced, and fighting horses are hard to come by. Riding a horse is a knot in Liu Qi's heart, and his treasures are extremely precious. All good equipment is given priority, and wine and meat are indispensable, which is to make other troops envious.
Any effort will be rewarded. Liu Qi invested a lot and got a lot. Huang Xu's three thousand cavalry rushed into the formation, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The cavalry kicked the horse's hooves and died, and almost didn't even need to swing their swords.
Three thousand horse riding was the last straw that defeated the camel. With just one charge, the three thousand cavalry stomped to death and injured five thousand Liu Pi soldiers. Seeing that Liu Pi could not resist, he could not escape, he hurriedly knelt down and surrendered.
Seeing that the lords all the generals had knelt down and surrendered, the soldiers of Liu Pi abandoned their weapons and knelt down and surrendered. Huang Xu was not rushing to see this, and he was optimistic about the prisoners and sent people to tie them up and escort Liu Pi Gongdu and other generals.
Report to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was not angry when he saw Liu Pi Gongdu surrender, so he personally untied the ropes of Liu Pi Gongdu and others, comforted him: "My lord Liu Qi is wise and powerful, and he will definitely make unparalleled achievements. Now is the time to use people. If you are
If you do your best, you will definitely not treat you badly."
Liu Pi and Gong Du were grateful and bowed to each other and cried, "It is a death sentence for us to dare to resist the heavenly army. Thanks to the general's pardon, it is a great kindness. We must be heartbroken and use our meager strength. How dare we seek rewards from the lord.
.”
Wei Yan heard this and laughed loudly, helped them up, and said with a smile: "My lord Liu Qi, you will reward any merits, and you will punish any mistakes. And you will not see your background. If you make great contributions, the lord will definitely not be stingy."
, sent people to recruit prisoners and lead a large army to station in Runan City. , and sent people to send orders to report to Liu Qi.
The battle was over. In less than a month, Wei Yan captured sixteen cities in half of Runan County, with a population of less than 100,000. There was an extremely shortage of food and grass.
When Liu Qi saw the tragic situation in Runan, he was determined to rectify it, so he did not return to Jingzhou immediately. He sent people to Jingzhou to transport grain, seeds, livestock, farm tools, etc.
On the third day after the war, in Runan City, Liu Qi sat on the main seat of the prefect's hall, with Pang Tong, Liu Pan, Huang Xu and Hu Cheer in his left hand; Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Liu Pi, and Gong Du in his right hand. Liu Qi looked around.
One week, I raised my wine glass and said, "You all drink this cup to make my Jingzhou stronger!"
"Full drink!" Everyone raised their glasses and shouted.
After drinking, put down the wine glass and looked at the maid behind him and filled it up again. Liu Qi picked it up again and laughed: "This time he raised his glass for Liao Hua, Liu Pi, and Gong Du. These three people abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and returned to Jingzhou. All three people
If you have the talents of a great general, you are all loyal people. + It is a great congratulation to us!”
The three of them stood up in a hurry, picked up the cup, and said, "My lord is too rewarded! I will definitely do my best to live up to my great kindness." After that, I looked up and finished drinking. Liu Qi shouted loudly, he is really a hero.
After three rounds of wine, Liu Qi began to reward the meritorious people: Wei Yan was the prefect of Runan, the general of Suinan, and the governor of Runan affairs. Liu Qi also knew that Wei Yan loved luxury and showed off his own conceit, so he specially rewarded a sword and a thousand taels of gold; Liao Hua was
The lieutenant led 5,000 troops to reward 500 gold; Liu Pi and Gong Du were the generals of the Central Army, each leading 5,000 troops. Pang Tong, Huang Xu, and Hu Cheer were all highly rewarded.
After the celebration banquet, everyone stepped down and Liu Qi temporarily rested in the prefect's mansion for one night.
The end of the war is often the first step in the matter. It takes several days to reorganize the army. This is not simply to remove the old and weak, and to choose the sharp ones. Instead, to record all the household registrations in the book. Liu Pi
Gong didn't know the matter, so he had to start from scratch in this regard. The old and weak women who were removed had to distribute seeds, distribute land, give houses, farm tools, and livestock food before harvesting.
This made Wei Yan, who was the prefect for the first time, feel anxious. Fortunately, Pang Tong was helping him. Liu Qi also promised to let Pang Tong stay for one month and help him, which made Wei Yan feel at ease.
Liu Pi's army was sorted out, with more than 10,000 casualties in the 50,000 army. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled were removed, leaving only 15,000 people. Liu Qi didn't want more than 10,000 people, if it weren't for Liu Pi Gongdu's heart
Uneasy, Liu Qi is probably leaving only one thousand. Even so, Liu Qi asked 10,000 of them to be military farmer and 5,000 of them to be military farmer, led by Liao Hua. The 50,000 army was often hungry because they were full and hungry.
Few people can meet the physical requirements of the soldiers in Jingzhou in one go, and even have no potential.
In this way, Runan's troops reached 15,000, and with Wei Yan's talent, he was enough to defend himself. Liao Hua, Liu Pi, and Gong Du helped each other. Liu Qi was relieved. The remaining Jingzhou troops and horses were naturally brought back to Xiangyang.
After replenishing some people in each city, he became a little angry. Later, he recruited refugees and moved the population east of Runan to come here. People would be given food when they came. Liu Qi waived the taxes and labor service for three years in Runan. This made him come to the future.
Someone from Nanfan came to vote.
In just ten days, Runan had a prosperous scene and began to flourish. At one moment, Liu Qi had nothing to do and brought dozens of guards and generals Liu Pan, Huang Xu and Hu Cheer out of the city to play. He saw a mountain
Hu Cheer suggested hunting together, but actually wanted to eat game barbecue.
Huang Xu didn't give him any face and said bluntly: "Is it because your Hu Che'er is greedy and you are greedy again!"
"What are you talking nonsense? I just saw that the young master was in a good mood and suggested that he be happy when hunting. Nothing is as selfish as you said." Hu Cheer was seen through his mind, his old face turned red, and he tried to defend himself, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller.
.
Liu Qi's cousin Liu Pan was a steady man and dissuaded: "This is the border of Caocao, and there will inevitably be bandit scouts. The safety of the elder brother is the most important!"
"It's okay!" Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "You three each bring two cavalry, and I'll just be here to protect me. I'm not a scholar without any power, and there are so many strong guards, so it's okay.
of."
"Then I'll go first!" Hu Cheer saw Liu Qi agreeing, hurriedly led the two of them to go.
Huang Xu repeatedly instructed the guards and went there.
Seeing that Liu Pan was not going, Liu Pan also advised him to relax, but Liu Pan said: "Brother's safety is important, and hunting can be done any day." Liu Qi was moved, but Liu Qi thought there was no danger, and after Liu Qi's repeated orders
I liked him, so I let him go.
The three of them had just gone for a while, and Liu Qi led the guards to wander around the mountains. Suddenly, he saw a petite man collecting wild vegetables and fruits, carrying firewood on his back.
