Chapter 55: The Yellow Turban Rebellion Twenty-two
Liu Lin led the Weihu Army into the Yellow Turban Army Chief's Camp. The entire camp was on fire. Yellow Turban rebels were everywhere. How could a group of unorganized farmers be the opponent of an iron-blooded army? Liu Lin
Lin's mighty tiger army is completely invincible wherever it goes.
The Yellow Turban Army had no courage, they were like flies scurrying around with their heads in their hands, allowing the officers and soldiers to kill them. Each of the 500 people Liu Lin led was covered in blood, like a god of murder, more like a
This hellish seducer makes the Yellow Turban Army fearful.
At this time, an army also rushed out from behind the Yellow Turban Army, under the banner of the official army. Liu Lin saw that it was a flag with the word "Sun" in it. The leader was a general in his twenties or thirties, holding a short sword.
He was galloping on his horse, and everywhere he went there were the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army. Behind him were several generals of similar age, all of whom were extremely brave. Liu Lin smiled slightly and already knew who it was, so he quickly led his troops.
When they converged towards the "Sun" flag, the general saw a young man with a group of heavy armored cavalry. With a hint of envy in his eyes, he saluted from a distance and said, "Sun Jian from Jiangdong has met Lu Longhou!"
Liu Lin quickly clasped his fists and said: "General Sun, you are polite!" The two armies converged, which was the last straw for the Yellow Turban Army, which had lost their courage. The 200,000-strong army was completely defeated, and there was no longer any resistance.
, and the officers and soldiers in Changshe saw that the situation was getting clearer and clearer, and they also came out with their troops to join the final battle. By the time it got dark, the battle was basically settled, and the two hundred thousand Yellow Turbans
The army captured more than 150,000 prisoners, and the rest were either dead or wounded or fled. This army was considered to be completely destroyed. However, the issue of prisoners after the war caused everyone to debate endlessly.
"What are you still arguing about? I suggest that we kill them all. Killing these rebellious officials and traitors will serve as a warning to others. If we don't kill them, it won't be enough to make them afraid. There are still 200,000 people in Guangzong City now. As long as we kill these rebellious thieves, then Guangzong City will
No need to fight, we will take it back soon!" Zhu Jun said with an angry look on his face, Huangfu Song did not speak, just glanced at everyone, while Cao Cao's face was extremely ugly, but he never stood up.
Liu Lin looked at Huangfu Song and then at Cao Cao, knowing that neither of them wanted to offend this old general with a bad temper, but Liu Lin didn't care. After all, this was the life of 150,000 people, so Liu Lin stood up.
He said: "The difference what General Zhu said is that these 150,000 people were originally my subjects of the Han Dynasty. They were only rebelled after being instigated by others. Now that they have surrendered, they are still my subjects of the Han Dynasty. How can you kill them at will?"
, Besides killing these 150,000, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City will resist even more fiercely, because we have cut off his way of survival, let alone talk about regaining Guangzong City?"
"What do you know, you little kid? This is a national matter!" Zhu Jun waved his hand and said when he heard Liu Lin objecting to his opinion. Although Liu Lin was angry after hearing this, he didn't want to get angry at this time. After all, if this
If the old guy hardened his heart and insisted on killing him, then Huangfu Song would definitely agree. After all, Huangfu Song was a good old man. Sure enough, when this good old man saw that Zhu Jun was going to confront Liu Lin, he quickly persuaded him: "Brother Gongwei, Liu Lin
Nephew, you two calm down, what you two just said makes sense, why not do this, calm down first, and discuss it later!" Zhu Jun saw that Huangfu Song wanted to be a good person again, so he said unhappily: "Brother Yizhen
, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big deal for these 150,000 troops to eat, drink, and sleep in my camp. Also, we have to wipe out the rebels in Guangzong City. If any of them rebel again during this period,
If so, what should we do? After all, our army only has 50,000 or 60,000 people! So we must come to a conclusion today, and I still say the same thing, one word, 'Kill!' without leaving any harm!"
Liu Lin did not argue, but said calmly: "General Zhu, these are 150,000 people. They are living people, not 150,000 animals. They cannot be solved by a simple 'kill' word! Besides, if you are If we really kill so many people, then my great Han Dynasty will be finished, and more thieves will rise in the world. The death of the former Qin II was caused by too many killings! We will be the sinners of the world, and will be infamous for thousands of years!"
Zhu Jun's face was extremely ugly. He glanced sideways at Liu Lin and said: "Okay, if you say you won't kill me, can you ensure that they stay safe here? Even if you can guarantee them, we don't have enough military rations. How can we go there?" Attack Guangzong City!"
When Liu Lin saw Zhu Jun staring at him, he said: "Actually, I have a way, and I need everyone's approval!" Cao Cao had been thinking about this issue and was hesitating whether to kill or not. Seeing that Liu Lin had an idea, he said: " Brother Liu Xian, please tell me!" Liu Lin glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was looking forward to it. Liu Lin said: "Actually, this method is also very simple. Even if we have made such a contribution, Your Majesty will definitely reward us. And everyone knows that the treasury is now empty, and there are no real rewards at all. How about this, we will exchange the rewards into human heads, and let your Majesty reward these people to us. Now that the Yellow Turbans are in chaos, our fiefdoms are now in short supply. Some crops, these people just fill the gap!"
As soon as Liu Lin said this, everyone was stunned, and even Zhu Jun lowered his head and thought. Everyone knew that the emperor's reward was just a blank check, but these people were real, and everyone was beating up their own little ones. Abacus, but Liu Lin is also making his own abacus. Nowadays, the population of Youzhou is relatively small. The ninety counties and eleven counties only account for more than one million people. It is purely a vast area and sparsely populated. Liu Lin now wants to maximize the number of people in Youzhou. Exploit resources, and although this Yellow Turban Army was born as a farmer, it has fought in wars. If it settles down in Youzhou, it will be able to form new troops. In the future, it will no longer be able to fight against various princes or suppress various tribes in the grassland. He shrunk his hands and feet.
Cao Cao glanced at Liu Lin, and he also saw the key to this matter. If everyone here takes in these people, their strength will definitely increase. Although the Han court is still prestigious, Cao Cao has seen that it will soon In the future, whoever is stronger will definitely gain the greatest benefits. He nodded, stepped forward and said, "What Liu Xiandi said makes sense, I think it's feasible!" Sun Jian, who had been silent, also stood up and said, " I also think it is feasible. After all, it does not harm Tianhe and allows him to live and work in peace and contentment. This is a great achievement!" Liu Lin glanced at Cao Cao and Sun Jian and sneered in his heart: "Sure enough, they are not simple people. It seems that they all care. It's quite far away!" Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other and had a plan in mind. Zhu Jun muttered: "I didn't expect you to have a lot of clever ideas!" Huangfu Song saw that no one had any objections, so he nodded and said: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, we will report this matter to the court! I believe the court will definitely agree!" Nonsense, how can the court not listen to what the most powerful generals say now?
