In the end, the number of prisoners was counted. There were more than 100,000 strong men, and there were as many as 400,000 elderly, weak, women and children waiting in the distance! In fact, there were only 50,000 Taiping believers who came with Cheng Zhiyuan, and the remaining 50,000 strong men were all the common people who were asked to join along the way. They naturally had to bring their families to the north with the army.

Obviously, it was these common people who were oppressed by the aristocratic families that could not survive, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of Cheng Zhiyuan's army and made it very simple to conquer the post-war decline.

Forget it, the ending is good. Otherwise, six thousand people will fight against 100,000 people, even if they continue to use long-range shooting of archers, crossbowmen and archers, they will only be able to kill tens of thousands of people. This is still the most ideal state. Under the trend of the opponent's sea of ​​people tactics, six thousand people have almost killed much and have been completely submerged.

One hundred thousand prisoners were taken to Fanyang, and at the beginning, those who defended the city thought the enemy was attacking.

Of course, the defenders thought that Liu Ming and Liu Bei and the army they led had been destroyed...

Liu Yan was also alarmed and immediately informed Zou Jing that he would come out to check the truth and prepare to face the enemy. As for himself, well, what Liu Yan, who was born in the literary department, hates the most is seeing such a war scene.

Compared to the battlefield of gunpowder, he prefers his concubine's warm and smooth body...he coughs, it's gone.

So, Zou Jing was panicked and prepared to fight, but Liu Ming left the list and asked the provincial governor to come forward to reorganize the 500,000 troops... By the way, anyone who heard it would think there was something wrong with this at the first time, right?

Especially Zou Jing also knew that Liu Ming and Liu Bei had only 7,000 people in total. There is no problem in fighting the forward to explore the real and real places. It is too dreamy to win directly and incorporate all the enemies, right? Not to mention what happened to these 500,000 people? Please report that Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Maojun only had 100,000 people?!

Five hundred thousand people stood outside the city wall like this. Even if Zou Jing believed Liu Ming and Liu Bei, he had to consider it.

So, he decisively returned to the state palace and asked Liu Yan that he had left.

"Are you sure you've woken up?"

It was not easy for Zou Jing to finish his words, but Liu Yan asked blankly.

Boss, I actually suspect that I haven’t woken up!

Zou Jing silently complained in his heart.

"Are you really half a million people asking us to incorporate?"

Liu Yan finally reacted, and then became a little excited and a little depressed.

"Liu Ming and Liu Bei are outside, and the lord can ask them."

Zou Jing was too lazy to say it. Anyway, if he wanted to ask, let Liu Yan ask him.

"I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of these two nephews, they are just a compilation of 500,000 people..."

Liu Yan's focus is obviously not on the composition of these 500,000 people, but on the cost of inclusion.

Well, who made him a typical politician?

"Lord, the other party is still waiting outside, at least confirm it... Chi Ze changed!"

Zou Jing couldn't help but remind that Liu Yan continued to hesitate. The people outside were impatient and rioted directly. The cost of defending the city would be high!

Liu Yan was not too idiot. He quickly understood the meaning of Zou Jing's words and immediately followed him out of the mansion. He climbed up the city wall and looked at the vast 500,000 people at the bottom, and couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart.

If these 500,000 people attack Fan Yang...

He didn't dare to continue thinking, and while the other party had not changed his mind, he shouted decisively: "Open the city gate and let my heroes in Youzhou return triumphantly!"

Then he turned around and ordered Zou Jing: "Let someone lie on both sides of the street, if there is any abnormal movement..."

Zou Jing nodded understandingly and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Five hundred thousand people entered the city in a vast way, and the scene was so spectacular. It just felt like it was not like a prisoner, but more like a refugee entering the city. It was not surprising that most of the Yellow Turban thieves were actually wearing single clothes, and many of them were still torn and ragged, which seemed to be no different from a group of beggars entering the city.

Liu Ming also felt that if he had not been oppressed to this point, who would have risen to rebel?

"My nephew is indeed mighty, it is beyond my expectations!" Liu Yan smiled and received Liu Ming and Liu Bei.

"Uncle, my nephew heard that his teacher, Mr. Lu, was fighting against the enemy in Jizhou. As his disciple, I hope he could go and help the battle." Liu Bei immediately volunteered.

In fact, he hated acting with Liu Ming very much. He felt that as long as he acted with him, he would have no contribution to making any contribution. In ancient times, he respected his teachers and went out to help his master, and there was nothing to doubt about.

"This is no problem..." Liu Yan did not agree immediately, obviously still heartbroken by the thousand soldiers.

"My nephew only recruits five thousand men to go south among the prisoners... It's just about weapons and food. I hope my uncle can support one or two." Liu Bei also said, at least not taking the 1,000 recruits away.

"This time the great man suffered a disaster, and he had to use troops everywhere. There was a shortage of military rations in this weapon. But who made me your uncle? I would provide you with two thousand sets of standard weapons and leather armor, and prepare food and grass for three months. The remaining Mr. Lu should have a little help, right?" Liu Yan thought for a while and replied.

"Thank you, my nephew, uncle!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank him.

In fact, in addition to Liu Yan, the two horse merchants, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, whom he knew, also announced earlier that they could provide him with a batch of horses, some weapons and food to help him achieve great things. To put it bluntly, he naturally fell in love with Liu Bei, a strange product, and planned to invest.

Liu Bei did not intend to get benefits from Liu Yan at first, but unexpectedly he still won it.

After taking Liu Yan's handwriting, Liu Bei immediately went to select troops and horses, and had already selected weapons, food and grass.

When Liu Ming saw all this, there was no change on the surface, but in fact he even hated Liu Yan. He had clearly told him Liu Bei's original identity before, but Liu Yan still admitted that he was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, which made him, a direct descendant!

But he didn't know that the confidence that Liu Bei had shown before and the calmness that Liu Bei showed at the age of 30, and finally, this military achievements made Liu Yan subconsciously think that this battle was completed under the leadership of Liu Bei. Otherwise, Liu Ming wouldn't say anything beside him, wouldn't he just acquiesce?

I just thought about it so much, but it not only helped Liu Bei, but also made my relationship with Liu Ming worse.

"My nephew planned to go south to visit and fight Caogu by the way. I wonder if I can get a transfer order?" Liu Ming simply asked Liu Yan calmly.

"Nephew, now the Yellow Turban Thiefs in the South are raging, which is not the time to visit." Liu Yan was wrong again. This old guy or people of this era liked to judge people by their appearance.

Who are you offended at the age of fifteen? At the age of fifteen, you are destined to study the books of sages at home with peace of mind and waiting to be a filial and honest person?!

"I have never been afraid of anything when my nephew was able to lead his army to defeat these 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves! As a relative of the Han Dynasty, seeing that the Han Dynasty is now deeply poisoned by the thieves, how can I stay in Liujia Town with peace of mind?" Liu Ming said modestly.

In fact, he had decided that even if Liu Yan opposed it, he would go south!

"Did these 100,000 enemy troops win under the leadership of their nephew?" Liu Yan's answer was shocked.

Liu Ming couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this. He was surprised that this was an unknown thing? He had 6,000 people and only 1,000 people. Do you still expect him to listen to the orders of those 1,000 people?

"Oh no, who is that, immediately see where Liu Bei is!" Liu Yan immediately turned around and shouted to a personal soldier.

Only then did he realize that the real hero was the young man in front of him! But he really couldn't believe why the thirty-year-old Liu Bei couldn't control him as a young man?

Since Liu Bei was not a great hero, there was no need to be so kind to him, otherwise Liu Ming's heart would become more fond of outsiders and neglect his clan members. However, shortly after, the personal soldiers came to report that Liu Bei had already ordered good men and horses, and took military rations and weapons and left.

Liu Yan was greatly hit and thought that Liu Bei had indeed planned it! He wanted to tear Liu Bei apart, but the other party had gone away and it was difficult to catch up directly.

After thinking about it, I felt that I should compensate Liu Ming, so I said to him: "It's okay to go to the south. My uncle gave you a transfer order, which means that our Youzhou sent out to assist the imperial court in suppressing bandits. By the way, my nephew made great contributions this time, and I will give you four lieutenants to be the General Jianwei, so that you can recruit up to 10,000 troops.

By the way, I heard that the population of Liujia Town is large enough, so it will be upgraded to Liujia County. My uncle doesn’t know much about Liujia County, so the county magistrate and his subordinate officials, and the virtuous nephews come to serve as the other party. How good is that?"

"My nephew thanked my uncle! By the way, I saw my uncle frowning before, but I was worried about the placement of these 500,000 people?" Liu Ming thought for a while and asked.

"What my dear nephew said is that the food, drinking and accommodation of 500,000 people is a big problem!" Liu Yan did not deny it. It was rare that Liu Ming also served as the county magistrate and was considered half a literati, so he told him a little.

"If the uncle trusts his nephew, he can be responsible for resettling 300,000 people." Liu Ming said with a smile.

"Take it seriously? My nephew has to think clearly. This is a food and accommodation problem for 300,000 people!" Liu Yan couldn't believe that Liu Ming could actually say such words.

"As a relative of the Han Dynasty, it is also necessary to contribute some effort to the Han Dynasty. Since these have surrendered, they are considered to be my great men. Since my nephew is the county magistrate, he can help these people within his ability..." Liu Ming answered affirmatively.
