But at this time, Liu Ming received a letter from Feiying from the Zhuojun branch and immediately convened everyone for a meeting. At the meeting, everyone agreed that they should help Liu Yan.
Among them, Yang Jun said: "The owner of the village is originally a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he has close contacts with Liu Jiyu, and he also recognizes Taishou Liu as his uncle. At this time, Youzhou is in trouble, and the owner of the village cannot stand by and watch. What's more, Taishou Liu has recommended him.
Thank you for your kindness. And when the yellow turban traitor attacks Youzhou, he must pass through Zhuojun. Our branch is still a little weak. If the yellow turban traitor remembers his shame, the Zhuojun branch may not be able to escape his murderous hands. In this way, we support Youzhou
It is imperative to protect others and protect yourself. Why not do it. Besides, after several battles with the Yellow Turban traitors, it seems that the Yellow Turban's strength is only this. Now we are scouting the horses and carefully monitoring the Yellow Turban's every move. Our Tiger Roaring Villa is within a radius of
There is not a single Yellow Turban soldier within a hundred miles, and the Yellow Turban thieves have no cavalry. They can gallop thousands of miles. If the Yellow Turbans attack in large numbers, we can be prepared in advance with our flying pigeons sending messages. Even if we don't take precautions,
With our current tall and strong courtyard walls and several new defensive weapons made by Director Na Ma, even if the Yellow Turban bandits come with another hundred thousand troops, we can take it lightly. On the contrary, the Yellow Turban soldiers who have returned these days are so large that they will not be able to defeat them.
It's easy to resettle. After the village owner helped Liu Taishou, he needed to find a way. It is best to ask Liu Taishou to allocate some more land to resettle these people." Yang Jun secretly thought: If you want to achieve great things, how can you have no one, no land, and no money?
No equipment. Looking at the Yellow Turban thieves, you can see that although they have a large number of people, they are poorly equipped and poorly trained. Tens of thousands of them were defeated by thousands of them. This is all because they have no territory to train. Now the world is in trouble.
Well, I must secure territory and manpower for my lord. These surrendered troops can be used as manpower. Is this territory? I understand that Liu Yan will not deny it at this critical moment.
Everyone felt that what Yang Jun said was reasonable. Zhang Fei even said: "A man is born between heaven and earth, and he should contribute to the country! A mere family fortune is not important!"
Guan Yu also said: "The eldest brother is a hero of the world, and he should make great contributions. His name will mark history."
Seeing that everyone was highly unified in their opinions, Liu Ming had no choice but to give up the idea of trying to protect himself, muddle along, and become a peaceful and rich man. He discussed with everyone a sound strategy on how to rescue Youzhou and protect Huxiao Villa. After everyone's suggestions, he decided to
Four battalions of heavy infantry were left at Xiaoshan Villa, and the best of the more than 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who returned were selected to form two battalions. The manpower was dispersed among the four battalions left behind, making them the sixth battalion. Zang Ba was left behind at Hu Xiao.
Villa, is solely responsible for the security of Huxiao Villa. The personnel of various departments did not move, Liu Ming only led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tuoba Ying and Yang Jun, and Houde led the assault cavalry, strong cavalry and the heavy infantry of the fifth battalion to support You
Prefecture, and the march route was divided into two groups. One was led by Liu Ming, Tuoba Ying, who led the cavalry to Youzhou at night, to meet Liu Yan, and cooperated with Liu Yan's dispatch; the other was led by Guan Yu and Yang Jun, Zhang
Fei and Houde led the strong cavalry and heavy infantry to escort the Yellow Turban soldiers to the Zhuojun branch for resettlement, while protecting the safety of the branch. Finally, Liu Ming told the Tuoba clan to hurry up and train the reserve force of the strong cavalry.
After the arrangement was completed, Liu Ming set off immediately. Not to mention, this cavalry moved very fast. It could be described as a thousand-mile charge. It took the infantry several days to travel, but they arrived in just over one night. Before noon, Liu Ming had already arrived.
He led the crowd to the gate of Fanyang City, the capital of Youzhou. At this time, Cheng Yuanzhi was still burning, killing, looting, and raping young men in the river.
Liu Mingde's troops arrived, but they arrived too quickly and suddenly, causing Fan Yang's soldiers to panic. The soldiers had originally received an order saying that there were gangsters causing trouble, and they would strictly check people coming in and out in the near future.
, and Liu Ming and the others were ordered to come to help, and they were traveling on Liu Yan's territory. They came without any concealment and came with great fanfare. As a result, the soldiers closing the city heard the sound of horse hooves from far away and saw
The dust was flying, and the soldiers guarding the city did not know what had happened, nor where they were from. They only remembered that the superiors had said that gangsters were making trouble. They were so frightened that they quickly closed the city gate and quickly reported to Liu Yan.
When Liu Yan heard this, he was extremely frightened. But after all, after many years of training and serving as an official at the junction of Hu and Han in Youzhou, he mustered up the energy to come to the city to watch. He kept complaining to Zou Jing: You
You! The person you invited has not come yet, and this thief has arrived first. What should I do now? Then I thought and cursed the thief secretly: What a thief! How did he get here so quickly. But when we reached the top of the city, Liu
Yan's scholarly spirit came back to him. Thinking of his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he secretly made up his mind to vow to live and die together with this city.
When Liu Yan arrived at the city and stood still, he looked carefully down the city, but he was surprised again. At this time, the sentry men and horses had already stood at the city, and the dust had fallen, revealing the true bodies of those men and horses. Only these were seen.
The men and horses were all cavalry. There were not many of them, but they were well-organized and well-armed. They wore fine leather armor of the same color, with strong bows on their backs and sabers on their waists. Those riders were also full of energy and had high morale. But the most famous one was Liu Yanyou.
Surprised and surprised, these were the riders. Their faces were clearly a group of barbarians. Liu Yan was secretly shocked: Could it be that it was not the Yellow Turban thieves who were coming, but Xianbei and Wu Heng who had rebelled and invaded our border again?
But it shouldn't be. Besides, there were a few people coming. Liu Yan nodded and asked the soldiers to shout down, asking where the troops were from?
When the team below the city heard the shouting from the top of the city, a man stepped forward on horseback and shouted loudly: "Uncle, this is my nephew Liu Ming. I have been ordered to come and obey my uncle's orders."
Liu Yan watched carefully at the top of the city. The person who stepped forward to answer was not Liu Ming, but who was it? Only then did Liu Yan feel relieved. Then he smiled and realized that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family was not there.
They recognized a family. Liu Yan quickly ordered his soldiers to open the city gate and let Liu Ming and others in. Liu Ming ordered Tuoba Ying to lead a battalion of cavalry to camp outside the city. He led a dozen personal followers and entered the city to meet Liu Ming.
Yan Jianli. Then Liu Yan watched these well-equipped and powerful cavalry at the top of the city, setting up camp in an orderly manner. The love in his heart was even a little envious, and he became jealous of Liu Ming. Until the soldiers reminded Liu Yan that Liu Ming had already entered.
When Liu Yan came to the city, he reluctantly went down to the city to meet Liu Ming. The two briefly bowed and Liu Yan introduced Liu Ming to the prefect to talk.
During the chat, Liu Ming tactfully mentioned that he had fought with the Yellow Turbans several times, and more than 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers had turned to the bright side. He thought that they were either deceived or coerced by the Yellow Turbans. They were all a group of pitiful common people, and they all felt sorry for them.
It was because of his own reputation that he surrendered, and in order to prevent the Yellow Turban trapped beasts from fighting desperately in future battles with the Yellow Turbans, he could not execute these Yellow Turban captives, but he could not let them go for fear that they would be used by the Yellow Turbans again.
It would be best if Liu Taishou demarcates some land and lets these people cultivate it, and then sends people to take care of it. If these problems are solved, Youzhou's household registration and population can also be increased.
