Zhao Yun pointed with his hand and said to Liu Xin: "Brother, look, there seems to be Third Brother's team behind you!"
"Zilong, did you read that correctly?" Liu Xin looked in the direction of Zhao Yun's finger and could vaguely see a team following the Yellow Turbans. She secretly sighed that Zhao Yun had such good eyesight.
"It's not wrong, it must be Third Brother's men." Zhao Yun was very confident in his eyesight.
"Okay, hurry up and send the signal!" Although Liu Xin didn't understand what was going on, he still understood the principle of not losing the opportunity and never regaining it. He made a prompt decision and issued the order to attack.
The Yellow Turban Brigade fled here, not daring to get close to Wancheng. They circled the city and saw a bunch of beacon fires burning at the top of the city in the distance. As they were marching, the ground suddenly shook, and smoke and dust rose not far away. A group of cavalry
Galloping forward, the first general, holding a big axe, was Xu Huang. Xu Huang slashed left and right and instantly broke the Yellow Turban team into two sections. The Yellow Turban team were all infantry, and the team was scattered. The cavalry came from the Yellow Turban formation with almost no resistance.
As soon as he passed through, Xu Huangle turned his horse's head and swung his axe: "Kill!" The entire cavalry charged again. After doing this three times, the Yellow Turban army was smashed into pieces. The large group of infantry behind the cavalry had also been killed.
At the same time, the gates of Wancheng were opened wide. Dian Wei, armed with two iron halberds, rushed out with a group of men and horses, and went straight to the middle of the Yellow Turban team. Zhang Fei's men and horses had also caught up. They attacked in three attacks.
The corpses of the Yellow Turban soldiers who were directly killed lay across the field, and blood flowed into rivers. Countless people surrendered. The leader of the Yellow Turbans, Han Zhong, was also chopped in half by Xu Huang with an axe, including his men and horses. Only the thieves chief Sun Xia brought a few.
Thousands of remnants of the army were defeated and fled towards Yingchuan.
It turned out that before setting off, Liu Xin had made a plan with everyone. Liu Xin and Zhao Yun brought more than ten thousand recruits to pretend to be the Yellow Turbans, and launched a surprise attack to capture Wancheng. Liu Xin planned to escort all the captured Yellow Turban bandits to Wancheng.
They were released outside the city. Most of these people were just ordinary people. They were either deceived or coerced into joining the Yellow Turbans as a last resort. After being released, most of them went home alone or went south to join the fleeing crowd. But many of these people were also Yellow Turbans.
After being released, the best friends will naturally go to Han Zhong, Zhao Hong and other Yellow Turban leaders to report the news. After receiving the report, Han Zhong and others will definitely gather their troops to capture Wancheng.
As expected, after receiving the report, Han Zhong and others gathered together and led about 40,000 troops to seize Wancheng with great momentum. Liu Xin, Tian Feng, and Jushou had already made plans to defend the city until the Yellow Turbans could not attack it for a long time.
When people and horses were exhausted, a signal was sent, and Xu Huang led a thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry to suddenly attack the Yellow Turbans from behind. Dian Wei and Zhao Yun rushed out from the city again, and the Yellow Turbans would be in chaos. Zhang Fei led the troops from Changsha.
The five thousand elite soldiers who came over were ambushing the Yellow Turbans along the route they must pass through, and taking advantage of the situation to attack, the Nanyang Yellow Turbans could be destroyed in a single battle.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin, Han Zhong, and Zhao Hong led their troops halfway and encountered an army. They were caught off guard and rushed to fight. The officers and soldiers were outnumbered and retreated south. The generals
The Yellow Turban Army introduced Zhang He's ambush circle, and the previous scene happened.
"It seems that God is really helping me." Liu Xin figured out the whole story and laughed loudly, "Have you found out where that team of officers and soldiers came from?"
"Brother, I have already sent people to gather up the defeated army. You will know when you ask." Zhang Fei is a rough and subtle person, and he has already arranged for people to gather up the defeated army.
While he was talking, a soldier came to report that the group of defeated and defeated officers and soldiers had been brought outside the city, and the leading officer had also been brought.
"Oh, please invite him in quickly." Liu Xin was still very grateful to this team of officers and soldiers. This team of officers and soldiers also played a big role in his victory this time.
"The last general, Captain Qin Jie of the Jingzhou Navy, is here to meet you, your lord." A gray-faced general walked in. His helmet had fallen off somewhere, and the white cloth wrapped around his left arm had traces of blood oozing from it. He was obviously injured.
"What, you are Qin Jie, the captain of the navy? How did you come here? These sergeants you brought are all navy?" Liu Xin was stunned when he heard this. He already knew that there was another navy stationed in Jingzhou, with about 10,000 people.
In Jiangxia, the last troop deployment order sent to various counties was also given to the navy, and they wanted to mobilize 3,000 troops from the navy.
"Yes, the general heard that my lord wanted to regain Nanyang, so he raised his troops and came to help. He didn't want to accidentally fall into a Yellow Turban ambush and lose his troops. Please forgive me, lord." Qin Jie secretly glanced at Liu Xin and quickly lowered his head. It turned out that Qin Jie
As a naval captain, although his salary was the same as that of a prefect, he was only responsible for leading the army and not paying attention to political affairs, so he always wanted to be a prefect. This time, he heard that Wancheng had fallen and the Yellow Turbans divided their troops to plunder various counties, so they wanted to lead troops to attack Wancheng.
, if he can recapture Wancheng, he can go to the court and ask for the title of Nanyang Prefect. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin recaptured Wancheng first. The navy led by Qin Jie happened to encounter the Yellow Turbans who went to revenge on the road. Qin
Jie thought he had been ambushed by the Yellow Turbans, so he panicked and was killed and defeated by the Yellow Turbans.
Liu Xin saw his eyes twinkling, she knew what he said was not true, she thought to herself, when I wanted to mobilize you three thousand soldiers and horses, you didn't say a word, now you are so kind to help me recover Wancheng? Huh, you are obviously here to grab the credit.
, and immediately shouted: "Come here, capture Qin Jie!"
The flying tiger soldiers on the left and right rushed over and pushed Qin Jie to the ground. Qin Jie shouted: "The general is unjust!"
Liu Xin sneered: "Qin Jie, you mobilized the navy to Wancheng without my general order, causing the loss of troops and generals. How can you be wronged?"
Qin Jie struggled to stand up and said: "Master Liu, I am the captain of the Jingzhou navy appointed by the imperial court, with a salary of two thousand dan. What qualifications do you have to arrest me?"
Liu Xin smiled instead of being angry and said: "Captain Qin, I am the shepherd of Jingzhou personally appointed by the emperor. Among the six million soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou, which one is not under my control? Haven't you seen the official document? Come on, call him the general."
Detain him until he reaches Xiangyang and then deal with him according to law."
On the one hand, Liu Xin sent Zhao Yun and Xu Huang to lead the troops to separately recover the counties in Nanyang. On the other hand, Liu Xin sent Pegasus to report the battle situation in Wancheng to Xinye, Fancheng and Xiangyang. He himself took Zhang Fei and Dian Wei to arrange the defense of Wancheng.
, to appease the people in the city and collect the property robbed by the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turban prisoners were not released this time, but were all gathered outside the city for custody.
Early the next morning, soldiers came to report that Mr. Kuai Yue came from Xiangyang overnight. Liu Xin was taken aback, not knowing what had happened, and hurriedly came out to greet him.
When Kuai Yue saw Liu Xin, he said without waiting for him to speak: "Congratulations to my lord for regaining Wancheng. My subordinates came from Xiangyang at starry night and dared to ask my lord to behead Qin Jie immediately!"
Liu Xin asked strangely: "Does Yidu have a grudge against Qin Jie?"
Kuai Yue said: "My lord, I have no grudges against Qin Jie. But this is a God-given opportunity, which should not be missed. Yesterday I received a notification from my lord that most of the Jingzhou navy was destroyed. It was all Qin Jie's fault. According to the law, it is the fault of Qin Jie."
Kill! By beheading Qin Jie, the lord can legitimately reorganize the navy army, and the Gangshui army can be completely controlled by the lord." This was the result of his discussion with Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Kuai Liang. He must kill Qin Jie to establish his power and frighten the others.
Governors of various counties.
Liu Xin pondered and hesitated. After all, it was a living human life.
Seeing this, Kuai Yue said again: "My lord, please make a decision immediately. You must not act like a woman!"
Liu Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Come here! Push Qin Jie out of the gate and behead him in public!"
Liu Xin beheaded Qin Jie, and finally couldn't bear it. He asked people to find a coffin in the city, buried Qin Jie's body, and sent a team of soldiers to his hometown of Yicheng, Nanjun. A few days later, Qin Jie's hearse arrived.
When I arrived in Yicheng, I passed a house next to the main road, but the carriage refused to move forward, and the escorting soldiers were surprised and confused. It happened that a villager from Qin Jie passed by. Seeing this scene, he told a past incident. It turned out that
When Qin Jie left Yicheng, he passed by here and once said that the feng shui here was very good and that it could be his own cemetery in the future. After hearing this story, the soldiers did not dare to move forward, so they quickly reported to Liu Xin.
At that time, Liu Xin had returned to Xiangyang and was very sad when he received the report. He used to not believe that there were gods and ghosts in the world, but he came to this era in a daze and couldn't explain it clearly. Now he hesitated, so he sent someone with a lot of money to bring him
That family bought the house and buried Qin Jiehou there.
Emperor Liu Hong was in a bad mood these days, and reports of defeats came one after another from various places. First, Beizhonglang general Lu Zhi was defeated by Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, and later Youzhonglang general Zhu Jun was defeated by Bocai in Yingchuan.
Then Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song was besieged by Bo Cai in the Changshe area. Memorials from various places requesting the court to send more elite troops came one after another. The maids and eunuchs around Liu Hong were also cautious these days, walking on thin ice, worried that they would be offended if they were not careful.
The emperor could get a beating at the least, or lose his life at the worst.
On this day, Liu Hong received another memorial asking for help and was furious in the Golden Palace. The eunuch Zuo Feng stepped forward and said: "Lu Zhi lost his army and lost his generals. Please ask your Majesty to issue an order to hold him accountable. The slaves recommended a person, whose surname was Dong Mingzhuo, a native of Longxi, rough.
He is fierce and decisive, and is now the governor of Hedong. If this person is used to replace Lu Zhi, he can defeat the Yellow Turban Ant Bandit." It turns out that Zuo Feng accepted bribes from Dong Zhuo, and Lu Zhi and others were upright and did not make friends.
Quan Huan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to frame him. Liu Hong was furious. After listening to Zuo Feng's words, he said without thinking: "I have issued an order to bring Lu Zhisuo to the capital for questioning, and to appoint Dong Zhuo as Zhonglang General to lead the army to conquer Zhangjiao in Lu Zhi's place."
." Just because of Zuo Feng's words, Lu Zhi lost his official position.
Suddenly, Zhang Rang ran all the way with the memorial in his hand, rushed into the palace, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am so happy! Your Majesty, I am so happy!"
Although Liu Hong was very fond of Zhang Rang, when he was worried at this moment, when he saw his appearance, he said angrily: "Zhang Rang, you are shouting and screaming in the Golden Palace, how unbecoming it is!"
Zhang Rang hurriedly knelt down, raised his hands above his head, presented the memorial in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, I just received the good news and got carried away for a moment. Please forgive me."
