Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 221
On the battlefield, as Liu Chan yelled loudly, the Qingqiang cavalry who had been fighting with the army and were separated and wandering between the Red Star Army, Li Hui, and Zhang Yi's army gradually gave up their resistance when they saw King Qingqiang being captured. .

The Qingqiang clan's attitude towards the king is very strange to the Han people.

Internally, Qingqiang men who dare to challenge the throne are regarded as warriors. Even if the challenge fails and dies, their family and tribe will not be implicated.

But when the whole clan is outside the country, King Qingqiang has absolute authority, no matter which tribe's fighters will obey orders unconditionally, and regard their safety as the top priority.

If King Qingqiang died in battle or was captured, but people from your tribe ran back by themselves... Unless you take the initiative to execute these people, you will be attacked by other tribes.

And this is also an important reason why the Qingqiang clan is not afraid of death in battle.

Now that King Qingqiang was captured, the remaining Qingqiang cavalry quickly lost their will to fight, and they didn't even think about fleeing.

After this battle, the battle between the main force of the Yong family in Yizhou County and the Qingqiang rescuers brought by Meng Huo was decided in the first battle.

Gathered more than [-] soldiers and more than [-] prisoners of war.

Of the more than [-] soldiers brought in, a total of more than [-] people have been killed so far, but about [-] to [-]% of them died of intractable diseases caused by factors such as inacclimatization of the soil and water.

As for the Cuan family army, the losses were relatively heavy. When the army was raised, nearly 700 soldiers were recruited. So far, more than half of them have been killed and injured, and there are only more than [-] soldiers left.

……

After the army returned to Shiwei County.

"Hui was trapped in Kunze, so that the prince's enemy still needs to send troops to rescue him. This is really Hui's crime." Li Hui and his son Li Yi knelt down on the ground, and paused, "Please punish the prince."

After describing their battle in detail, Li Hui took the initiative to plead guilty.

Liu Chan stepped forward to help Li Hui, who was soaked in blood and was wounded in many places, and said in a warm voice: "De'ang successfully persuaded the Cuan family to raise troops to help the orphan, and he was trapped in a deadly battle without surrendering. He successively used tricks to lead to the defeat of the Yong family and the Qingqiang family. Loyalty can be learned. , Wisdom and bravery are commendable, what is the crime? It is not your fault that you were trapped in Kunze.

"Not only is he innocent, but De'ang is unruffled in times of crisis, wise and brave. He is a talent worthy of great use. After a lonely battle, he will become a cousin father and king, and please reward De'ang as an official."

Li Hui was moved, and once again bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Prince."

Cuan Xi was ashamed, and at this moment stepped forward, bowed and cupped his hands: "Cuan Xi's meeting with the prince, this matter was all due to my impulsiveness, and it was not De'ang's fault that he almost put the prince in danger. The prince should punish me for my crime yes."

Liu Chandao: "Patriarch Cuan lives in Yizhou County, far away from Chengdu. He has never met his father before, but he refuses to join forces with Yong Kai and others. Now he is doing his best to help the family. The patriarch's heart is also loyal to the big man. I am so lonely and comforted.

"Even if you don't listen to dissuasion and attack Dianchi Lake without authorization, it's wrong, but at that time, the Patriarch was not under Gu's command, so he couldn't talk about violating military orders. Cuan's army has already suffered heavy losses, so how can Gu be punished?"

Cuan Xi remained silent and bowed to the ground.

"The head of the family raised troops to help each other. It should have shown that the head of the family is a partial general. But this time he acted impulsively and recklessly. Now he temporarily orders the head of the family to be the Sima of another department, and continue to lead the troops of the headquarter to fight with the army. If he can make meritorious service, he will be rewarded."

"Xi, thank you, Prince." Cuan Xi was very satisfied with the result.

Liu Chan looked at Zhang Yi again: "Bo Gong acted accordingly, anticipated the enemy's attack first, and divided his troops in Kunze Xishan in advance, so that the main force of the Yong family could be wiped out. Even though Yong Kai escaped, it was also a great achievement, and we will discuss it together after the war. Reward for meritorious deeds."

Zhang Yi cupped his fists to thank him.

Then Liu Chan ordered people to take good care of the wounded soldiers, bought and slaughtered livestock in the three counties, and held a celebration banquet to reward the whole army.

It's just that food is expensive here, and there is no spare capacity to make wine. The Huo family's collection of wine is far from enough, and the soldiers feel a little regretful.

However, Liu Chan, who was too strong to drink, was secretly grateful for this. He gave a speech at the banquet to boost morale, and offered a glass of water instead of wine to the entire army, pushing the atmosphere of the celebration banquet to a climax.

Then he brought the military doctor and the Cuan family who were proficient in Qingqiang dialect to the county where King Qingqiang was imprisoned.

Huo Bu'eri looked a bit embarrassed at this time, his hands were bound upside down, and his feet were also tightly bound.

When Liu Chan entered the door, he was trying to turn his hands behind his back around his lower body and turn them in front of his body, but the soldiers who had already been prepared for this were tied up in a high position. Not only did he fail, but he happened to fall right on Liu Chan... …

"Why did King Qingqiang perform such a grand ceremony?"

Cuan's family members twitched their mouths and didn't repeat the sentence.

Liu Chan helped him sit up, saw that the wound on his side rib was still bleeding slowly, and signaled the military doctor to come forward and bandage him up.

When Huo Bueri saw that the military doctor was taking medicine powder to sprinkle on his wound, he immediately struggled and shouted some words that Liu Chan could not understand.

"what did he say?"

The Cuan family hesitated for a moment, and omitted some extreme words: "He said that his skills are inferior to others, so he can be killed if he wants to, but he is also a warrior, why should he be tortured and humiliated in this way."

Liu Chan shook his head helplessly: "Tell him, don't move around if you don't want to lose blood to death, this is healing the wound."

After the translation, Huo Bu'eri was indeed much more honest, but he still stared at the military doctor vigilantly.

After all, this method of healing was very different from that of the witch doctors in other tribes. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't chant a mantra before healing, which looked unprofessional.

It's just that after the powder was sprinkled on, after enduring the initial severe pain, there was a special cooling sensation, which gradually suppressed the burning pain, but it was much more effective than the herbal paste they were used to chewing.

After bandaging, Huo Bu'eri found that Liu Chan really sent someone to treat his wounds, and he calmed down a lot.

He didn't show much hostility towards the boy who captured him by force.

Qing Qiang respects the strong, even enemies.

After healed the injury, Liu Chan sat cross-legged across from him, looked up and down at the King Qingqiang who had cut a big gash with his spear, but said nothing: "What's your name?"

"Huo Bueri."

Finding that the other party's attitude didn't seem so fierce, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Gu is the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Chan and Liu Gong's heir. How about you lead the Qing Qiang to belong to Gu, make you an official, and protect your people?"

For people like Huo Bu'eri, it's pointless to beat around the bush, it's better to go straight.

Huo Bu'eri sneered. Although he respected the strong, it didn't mean that he would submit to him, let alone his clan's allegiance. Persecution, how could we retreat here!"

Liu Chan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and sighed: "Those years when treacherous officials were in power, the palace majesty was eaten by beasts and beasts, and you, the Qingqiang people, suffered so much. But you rebelled first, and the imperial court naturally sent troops to quell the rebellion."

The imperial court at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not deal with personnel matters, but with his status here, he couldn’t say "yes, my relatives and emperors are all foolish emperors, and you are the righteous resistance of the oppressed", right?

Huo Bueri hung his neck and wanted to say more, Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about the past, just look at the present. I came to Nanzhong alone, no matter Han or barbarians, have you ever seen people being raided and bullied? According to the words, what black dog agate are you looking for?"

There was no way to tell the shit about old sesame seeds and rotten millet in the past. The two sides have different positions. There is no right or wrong in these things, and talking about them will only intensify the contradiction, so Liu Chan immediately changed the topic.

Huo Bu'eri was taken aback for a moment, and didn't speak for a while.

Liu Chan said again: "Like the generation of Yong Kai, who looked at him alone like a dolphin dog's ears, and could be destroyed with his hands. You Qingqiang is a good boy, do you want to be destroyed with it?"

Huo Bu'eri was still a little bit dissatisfied, and said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for the fact that we couldn't get in touch with the southern departments of Yueyu County, the outcome is still unknown."

But obviously there is no basis for saying this.

Liu Chan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Whether the outcome will be, you just wait and see. This battle can be won alone, and I didn't intend to use your strength.

"If Qing Qiang surrenders, Guzi will treat everyone equally. From now on, you will fight with Guzi and make contributions, so that your people can live a rich and rich life. Or you will be obsessed and let them bleed to death... Take your time to think about it."

After speaking, Liu Chan left behind Huo Bueri who was silent, and walked out.

He must first recognize the huge difference in strength before he can surrender, and there is no rush for this.

And from Huo Bu'eri's words, Liu Chan keenly noticed that he said that he could not contact Qingqiang in the south of Yueyu County...

Looking up at the starry sky, Liu Chan raised a smile, it seems that Uncle Zhuge is also working hard.
