I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 196 Chapter 197, Liu Bei's persistence

Yang Feng's face changed drastically and he said: "Dong Zhuo is in Shangdang County now, and Wei County is just outside Hukou Pass. Of course he will appear in Wei County!"

Zhang Yan said with an ugly face: "That means Lei Gong is cheating us!"

Of course he knew that Dong Zhuo had 6 troops in Shangdang County, but he didn't care. After all, in Zhang Yan's memory, Dong Zhuo was beaten by Lei Gong and fled to Shangdang. He should be on guard in Shangdang Lei Gong should not have appeared in Wei County!
Yang Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, we are all wrong. You have forgotten that not long ago, the Xianbei attacked the territory of the Tengjia Army and killed 2 of Lei Gong's troops. Now Lei Gong has taken his main force to Mayi , intending to seek revenge from the Xianbei people.

Even if Dong Zhuo comes to Weijun with a large army, he doesn’t have to worry that Lei Gong will conquer Shangdang. Moreover, Shangdang is too close to Weijun. They will have time to return to Shangdang after defeating us. Dong Zhuo has a time lag with us! "

"We were all deceived by Liu Bei. He has already arranged a countermeasure, waiting for us to fall into his trap!"

Yang Feng immediately said: "Commander, take in the soldiers quickly, we will definitely be defeated by the Xiliang army in our current state! We may even be defeated!"

Zhang Yan looked at the battlefield for tens of miles, and knew that it was impossible to retreat under the current situation. He said in a daze, "It's useless. We don't even have a reserve army to resist Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army He is the most elite soldier of the big man, and I have lost this battle again!"

After speaking, Zhang Yan, who was already in despair, picked up the sword and was about to commit suicide!It was really unbearable for him to feel so far away from victory, only to lose again!
But Yang Feng on the side immediately knocked down the sword in his hand and said angrily: "You are trying to kill all of us, you are now the commander of the Yellow Turban Army! If you die, it will be all over, but the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army What about the army! Their morale has collapsed and they can only be slaughtered by the Han army. Do you want to drag our 30 Yellow Turban soldiers to be buried with you!"

Then Yang Feng said to the messengers around: "Order everyone to end the battle with Liu Bei, close the front line, and slowly approach the central phalanx!"

Then Yang Feng said to Zhang Yan: "I will take my personal guards to resist the Xiliang army, try to delay for half an hour, you find a way to make good use of this half hour, try to let everyone live by yourself!"

But Zhang Yan grabbed Yang Feng and said, "I am the one who should go. Over the years, our Yellow Turban Army has been defeated repeatedly. I used to think that the Han Army was powerful, but today I understand that it is me, the commander-in-chief." It’s not good enough to bring everyone into a desperate situation, and after you lead everyone out of the siege, you go to join Lei Gong in Mayi, he is the one who can really make great things happen!”

After speaking, Zhang Yan yelled: "Guangweiying, fight with me!"

"Promise!" The 5000 Guards Battalion soldiers followed Zhang Yan and rushed towards Dong Zhuo!

"There are still capable people in the imperial court. Wenyou knows who made the battle plan this time?" Dong Zhuo said with emotion as he watched the panicked Yellow Turban Army after the Xiliang iron cavalry appeared.

That's right, Dong Zhuo came to Weijun this time not on his own initiative, but the court ordered him to lead 3 cavalry to Weijun to support Liu Bei!And Dong Zhuo has been waiting in Hukou Pass for an opportunity to attack. When he knew that the Yellow Turban Army was exhausted, he came to Wei County to deal a fatal blow to the Yellow Turban Army!
This is also the reason why Liu Bei has been exhausting Zhang Yan with all his strength. He wants to create opportunities for Dong Zhuo to complete this fatal blow!
Li Ru on the side thought for a while and said: "Now those who understand military affairs in the court can still make such a perfect battle plan, only Shang Shuling Lu Zhi and master craftsman Zhu Jun, other ministers are okay with intrigue, and they don't understand military matters at all. Things! If Lei Gong’s transfer is also made by them, then they are really terrible, this is simply a plan!”

Even Li Ru admired the person who formulated this plan. He also deduced the situation of the court in Shangdang County, but no matter how he deduced it, the Han court would inevitably end up being destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, and the world would enter a situation where heroes contend for hegemony , but he didn't expect that the situation he thought could not be changed would be reversed. As long as Zhang Yan who was entrenched in Jizhou was wiped out, the game of chess of the imperial court would be considered alive!

Dong Zhuo sighed: "There are still capable people in the imperial court, the old man thought that the imperial court would not be able to survive this catastrophe, so he wanted to hide in Xiliang to observe the situation.

But he didn't expect Zhang Yan to be pacified by the imperial court in this way. In addition, the refugees from the Central Plains were all driven to Bingzhou to hinder the development of Lei Gong, and Lei Gong was the only big rebel left in the whole man.

After a few years, the imperial court has accumulated strength, and then with hundreds of thousands of troops in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou to encircle and suppress Lei Gong, the world of this big man will be restored to peace!

This ability of turning one's hands into clouds and hands into rain, if Lu Zhi can do it, then the old man will really admire Lu Zhi!That's good, the court can continue, and the old man doesn't have to go back to the remote Xiliang! "

Then Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "Let the vanguard Niu Fu speed up, and let the old man see how good he is as a cavalryman!"

When Niu Fu heard Dong Zhuo's order, he laughed and said, "Blow the horn of attack! Today is the time for our armored cavalry to become famous all over the world!"

"Woo, woo, woo!" Horns sounded all over the battlefield, and horses roared

Niu Fu's 1000 armored cavalry are the arrow shafts of 3 cavalry cavalry, and the iron cavalry charges against the Yellow Turban Army in a conical attacking phalanx!
Zhang Yan has already led his personal guards to block the Xiliang cavalry attack route!

But facing the dense Xiliang iron cavalry, even Zhang Yan's personal guards trembled!

Zhang Yan roared angrily: "Even if Xiliang cavalry walk over us this year, we will stop them for half an hour. Everyone think about your relatives, think about your brothers, and don't want them to die here. Fight to the death here!"

The soldiers also shouted: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!"

This not only boosted their morale, but also strengthened everyone's beliefs. After everyone shouted three times, the fear in their hearts finally began to weaken!
Niu Fu also found Zhang Yan and his army blocking their way forward.

He sneered and said, "It's like a mantis is like a cart!"

Niu Fu brandished his saber and shouted, "Kill these Yellow Turban soldiers without leaving any behind, kill them!"

"Kill!" The soldiers behind Niu Fu also roared angrily.

His furniture cavalry broke through the dam like a flood that burst, and rushed into Zhang Yan's army with an indomitable momentum!
Zhang Yan shouted: "Everyone block it, as long as you block this wave of charge, they will be powerless!"

But when the Xiliang army got closer, Zhang Yan discovered that these cavalry were all covered with a layer of ceramic armor, so that the cavalry was as huge as a monster and everyone was afraid!
Zhang Yan was sweating even more. He knew that this was a heavy cavalry soldier of the Tengjia Army, but it was in Dong Zhuo's hands!
'Could it be Lei Gong who wants to kill me? He is using a knife to kill someone! Zhang Yan regretted letting Yang Feng and the others take refuge in Lei Gong.

He thought that Lei Gong was a hero, but the scene in front of him made him realize that Lei Gong might be a hero. He did all these things to prevent their Yellow Turban Army from conquering Jizhou!So we will unite with the imperial court to exterminate their Yellow Turban Army!
But the situation on the battlefield didn't give Zhang Yan much time to think. The army from Xiliang was like a huge wave, shooting at Zhang Yan's personal guards.

"Kill!" Zhang Yan and the others tried their best to resist, but their resistance was like a mound of dirt facing a flood. The army formation was first washed away by armored cavalry, and the subsequent cavalry continued to widen the gap. Soon Zhang Yan's 5000 relatives Wei was overwhelmed by 3 cavalry, and Zhang Yan himself was trampled to death by armored cavalry!

Before he died, he couldn't understand why Lei Gong wanted to deal with their Yellow Turban Army!
If Xu Wei knew that Zhang Yan would suspect that he would join Dong Zhuo to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, he would cry to death. He strengthened Dong Zhuo's power, obviously intending to use Dong Zhuo to deal with Yuan Shao and the others. He would never have thought that Dong Zhuo would turn a corner and go to Jizhou to deal with them Zhang Yan!

After completely annihilating Zhang Yan's personal guards, the Xiliang Army rushed into the front of the Yellow Turban Army. They were exhausted from fighting Liu Bei's army. Now they are facing the attack of Dong Zhuo's army. Many people have no strength to resist the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. attack.

Wherever Niu Fu's armored cavalry went, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were instantly splattered with blood and flesh.

As the iron cavalry army continued to advance, the Yellow Turban army collapsed one by one. The army finally couldn't bear the fear, and began to flee away from the armored cavalry one by one!

"Our reinforcements are here, the Yellow Turban Army is about to be defeated, kill everyone!" Liu Bei and the others saw Dong Zhuo and their new force, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted!
In this pros and cons, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were killed and retreated steadily, and soon the whole army collapsed!
Yang Feng saw that it was inevitable, so he could only escape by looking at the Zhangshui River under the leadership of his confidants!Only by crossing the Zhangshui can they have the possibility of surviving.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He led their troops into the formation of the Yellow Turban Army. Under their leadership, the Han army was invincible. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were divided and surrounded by them, and they were wiped out in batches. After seeing no hope, throw down the sword and surrender!

At this time, Liu Bei also ordered: "Don't do more killings, recruit these Yellow Turban soldiers!"

Soon the entire battlefield was full of Han soldiers shouting: "Those who vote will not die! Those who vote will not die! Those who vote will not die!"

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who didn't want to continue fighting, heard this voice and surrendered in pieces!

But soon Liu Bei found that no one listened to his orders at all, Dong Zhuo really continued to hunt down the deserters of the Yellow Turban Army, and these Jizhou native officers were also massacring the surrendered Yellow Turban Army soldiers in batches!Only the troops under Liu Bei's own command are taking prisoners of war according to his orders!

Liu Bei was furious when he realized this scene, and rushed out with his personal guards and ran to the judge and said angrily: "Judge, you didn't hear my order, I am not the Yellow Turban soldier who asked you to take in and surrender, why did you And kill the prisoners!"

But the judge's face remained unchanged and said: "These are all rebels, can't they be killed! How many generations of hairpin tassels in Jizhou have died in their hands, and now they are defeated and it's time to pay their lives!"

But Liu Bei said forcefully: "But they have already surrendered! They are captives and we must ensure their safety! Not to mention that they were originally the subjects of the big man!"

At this time, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also discovered the situation here. They ran over with their troops and stood behind Liu Bei!
Zhang Fei shouted: "My elder brother is the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou army. As subordinates, you don't obey my elder brother's orders. Do you want to die?"

After speaking, Zhang Fei drew out his long sword and pointed it at the judge!
Zhang Yun and Gao Lan beside Shenpei were worried that Shenpei would be injured and drew their long swords to block Shenpei!
Seeing them draw their swords, Zhang Fei said angrily, "Aim your sword at your commander, it seems that you really want to rebel!"

After speaking, Zhang Fei rushed forward to teach Zhang Yun and Gao Lan a lesson, not to be outdone, and waved their swords to look at Zhang Fei, but the two of them were not as strong as Zhang Fei in terms of strength or martial arts, and Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's third brother, so the two of them were even more indifferent. Dare to use all their strength, and soon the two were kicked to the ground by Zhang Fei!
Then Zhang Fei shouted: "If you dare to draw your sword at my elder brother again, I will kill you!"

Then Zhang Fei looked at the judge with a sullen face and said, "Will you listen to my elder brother's words?"

The judge said firmly: "General Liu, you are decisive and clean as an official. Everyone in Jizhou admires you. Since you came to Jizhou, we have also supported you very much. You have to feed 10 troops. The power of one place not only fed 10 troops, but also supported Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou battlefields. You said that you want to resettle refugees, but we in Jizhou helped you get 500 million shi of grain and transferred millions of victims.”

"But these people we are killing now are not disaster victims, let alone the people of the big man, but rebels. They have drank the blood of the gentry and eaten the flesh of the gentry, and it is impossible for them to become the people of my big man. For such rioters, We only need to kill them all, otherwise all the refugees in the world will follow suit, how can the world be peaceful? Only by killing these Yellow Turban soldiers can we set an example for the refugees in the world and let them know the consequences of rebellion. The world will gradually settle down!

Zhang Fei and the others were stunned and said, "There are more than [-] captives here, and you seem to have killed them all! This interrogator is still a celebrity from Jizhou. I didn't expect it to be so vicious. Dong Zhuo, who is known as a butcher, is probably not so vicious!"

Zhao Yun is also very embarrassed, because he is a fellow, he is usually very close to the judge, and even often asks him about academic matters!But the change of trial and appropriation made him unable to accept it!

But to the judge, this is nothing. He is a celebrity. There is nothing wrong with him, but celebrities in this era no longer regard the common people as human beings. As long as there is a possibility of rebellion, they don’t mind killing the common people first. This is the root of the problem. If the common people are gone, naturally there will be no rebellion.

So Huangfusong massacred 10 Yellow Turban captives to be Jingguan, but no one in the world criticized him, and even praised him as a pillar of protecting the country. Later, when Cao Cao killed famous scholars, the whole Yanzhou rebelled against Cao Cao, almost causing Cao Cao to lose his hometown. In the eyes of the aristocrats in this era, only they are the real people, and the common people are like the people on the side of the road. Average weeds!
But Liu Bei said firmly: "I have only heard of officials forcing the people to rebel, but I have never seen people who like to rebel. If you really want Jizhou to be stable, you should find a way to reduce some taxes and annex some land. This is the root cause. The method! You only know how to slaughter the people of the big man, this is the style of your Jizhou celebrities!"

This judge has a great reputation in Jizhou, and Liu Bei's affairs in Jizhou in the past few years have also been adjusted thanks to the judge, but he didn't expect that such a famous person like the judge would lose his fame today, and just want to slaughter these Yellow Turbans captive!Liu Bei discovered for the first time that the saying of knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart is still reasonable. Who would have thought that the trial match would turn into a butcher!
The examiner looked at Liu Bei but said sadly: "General Liu, I know you are a benevolent man, but now is not the time for a woman to be benevolent. Why has the world become turbulent since Zhang Jiao rebelled? It is because Zhang Jiao and the others jumped The hearts of the people in the world make them no longer be content with themselves. These refugees and the people have the idea of ​​​​getting something for nothing, and at the same time find that it is feasible to do so, and the turmoil in the world began one after another.

To deal with such rebellion, we should find one and kill the other, so that the refugees in the world will not learn from them. When we kill all the greedy and disorderly people, and the hearts of the people are no longer in turmoil, the world will be peaceful.If you have the benevolence of a woman in your heart and let them survive, they will only bring more people to rebel, and the world will not be stable! "

Then the judge looked at Liu Bei and said, "General Liu doesn't want to tarnish his reputation, so leave this matter to me, and I guarantee that General Liu will not be implicated!"

Liu Bei held back his anger and said, "I don't need you to bear any stigma for me, and I don't allow you to continue to kill prisoners. The world is so turbulent, it may be your responsibility, it may be my responsibility, or even everyone's responsibility, But I know that there is no responsibility for them, as long as there is a way for them to survive, they will not rebel!"

Zhang Fei was surprised when he heard the theory of the judge and said: "As expected of a famous person, you can tell so many truths about killing people. Although I, Zhang Fei, have not read many books, I also know that killing people is wrong, especially killing people like this." Hundreds of thousands of people, he is not afraid of being punished by heaven!"

Zhang Fei's voice was already very loud, Zhang He and the others all looked ashamed!

But the judge said as if he didn't hear it: "Does the general think that I want to kill people? I have a small reputation in Jizhou, so why bother to kill to stain my reputation, but the general sees what else is there in Jizhou now." Is there any law? If there is no law, the whole Jizhou will be in chaos. I kill the rebels to maintain the law of Jizhou, and let everything return to the original state, so that Jizhou will be stable, and it will not be like now, where dozens of people die every year Millions of people, this is the true heart of benevolence and righteousness."

"That's well said. These words have reached the heart of this old man. There is no one in this world who has a more benevolent heart than this old man. If it weren't for the old man in the land of Xiliang, fighting south and north, killing is useless. Liang has been in chaos for a long time, and there will be rebellion after the Yellow Turban Uprising!"

"As a result, the censors in the imperial court who don't know good and bad often cause trouble for the old man. They also say that the old man is a butcher, but they don't know that the old man kills people to save the country and the people. If it wasn't for their obstruction, the old man killed fewer people, what would Xiliang do?" It may not be settled until now!" Dong Zhuo walked here with a group of people.

He heard the words of Shen Pei and Liu Bei, and he took the words of Shen Pei very seriously, and felt that these words were tailor-made for himself!
Sure enough, the people of the gentry speak nicely.The old man has suffered in this life because he has not read many books and done so many things for the country and the people, but he has not been shown off positively. Instead, his reputation as a butcher has spread throughout the big men, so much so that his immediate boss Zhang Huan I thought that his notoriety cut off contact with him.

Thinking about it in this life, it will be difficult to change, so he said to Li Ru: "Learn, you are also a celebrity, why do people speak so nicely, you know how to play some crooked ways, how many years has the old man taught you, you have to follow the right way , Walking the right way, you really don’t live up to it at all! If you are a little bit more upright, the old man won’t have the reputation he has now!”

Li Ru held back his smile and said, "The general's subordinates must study hard!"

Li Ru understands the idea of ​​trial and assignment. Now Jizhou's elites and low-level people are already in conflict. Only when one of the two sides completely retreats and surrenders can it be possible to stabilize the order in Jizhou, and this retreat is naturally impossible. It is a powerful family, and the trial and assignment will naturally deter the people of Jizhou on behalf of the powerful and noble family, and these hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans are the targets of the trial and appointment to kill people and establish their prestige. As long as these hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans are killed, let the people of Jizhou see The fate of those who dared to resist the rule of the clans in Jizhou, under such high-pressure suppression, the people naturally dare not resist the rule of the clans of clans!
Liu Bei said: "Give these captives to me, and I will take them to farm, and I will not let them affect Jizhou again!"

The judge said with a cold face: "General, don't forget that you are eating our Jizhou's food and wearing our Jizhou's clothes. Without our support, what would you use to farm the fields, and the Yellow Turban Army is more than the hundreds of thousands of prisoners now. , There are still millions of bandits following them. The general has the ability to deal with these millions of bandits, and the court has the financial resources to support the general’s farming? There is still wasteland in Jizhou! The benevolence of women can’t solve any problems, only by killing them all. It is the best way to solve the problem!"

Liu Bei said angrily: "I eat the food of the big man and wear the clothes of the big man, and these food and clothes are handed over to the imperial court every bit by the common people. The imperial court has the meaning to ensure that they can survive. If you continue to kill, I will kill you first and disarm you all."

At this time, Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Everyone is our own, why bother to say such hurtful words, I have a way to solve your problem, you hand over the captured Yellow Turban Army to me, and my old Dong will let them go to Shangdang to farm ! Shangdang has a lot of wasteland!"

But neither Liu Bei nor the judges believed Dong Zhuo's words!

But Dong Zhuo really didn't have the idea of ​​farming. He thought about selling all the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army to Xu Wei. At the very least, he could replace them with thousands of armored cavalry. It's big, it's a big killer on the battlefield, but the number is too small!
