Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 35 Conquering Runan, Wei Yan served as prefect

() It is said that when Liu Bi and Gong Du joined forces and hurried back to flee, they met the cavalry captain, and the general Huang Xu led three thousand cavalry to rush.There are very few cavalry in the Central Plains, let alone the areas on both sides of the Yangtze River.The [-] cavalry was assembled after Liu Qi subdued Zhang Xiu, combined with Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry and the original ones.

Jingzhou is far away from the place where horses are produced, and war horses are hard to come by.Riding a horse is a pimple in Liu Qi's heart, it's so precious.All good equipment is given priority, and wine and meat are indispensable, and the purpose is to make other troops greedy.

If you pay, you will be rewarded. Liu Qi invested a lot and got a lot.Huang Xu's three thousand cavalry rushed into the formation like a tiger into a flock of sheep.As soon as the cavalry kicked their horseshoes, they would die if they stuck, and they almost didn't even need to swing a knife.These three thousand cavalry were the last straw that broke the camel's back. With just one charge, the three thousand cavalry trampled to death and injured five thousand Liu Pi's soldiers.Liu Pi saw that he couldn't resist and couldn't escape, so he knelt down and surrendered.

Sergeant Liu Pi saw that the generals knelt down and surrendered, and they also dropped their weapons one after another, knelt down and surrendered with their heads in their hands.When Huang Xu saw this, he didn't rush to kill. He made people optimistic about the captives, and sent people to tie up and detain Liu Pi, Gong Du and other generals to report to Wei Yan.

Seeing that Liu Pi and Gongdu had surrendered, Wei Yan was not angry anymore, so he personally untied Liu Pi, Gongdu and others, and comforted him: "My lord Liu Qi is wise and powerful, and he will surely make great achievements. Now is the time to employ people. If you If you do your best, you will definitely not treat you badly."

Both Liu Pi and Gong bowed to the ground in gratitude, crying: "It is a capital crime for us to dare to resist the heavenly army. It is a great grace to be pardoned by the general. .”

Hearing this, Wei Yan laughed loudly, helped them up, and said with a smile: "My lord Liu Qi, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and punished for your demerits. And you don't know who you are, if you make great achievements, my lord will definitely not be stingy." , sent people to collect the prisoners, and led the army to station in the city of Runan.And sent someone to report to Liu Qi.

This campaign is over.In less than a month, Wei Yan conquered sixteen cities in Runan County, with a population of less than [-].Food and grass are extremely scarce.

Seeing the tragic situation in Runan, Liu Qi decided to rectify it, so he didn't return to Jingzhou immediately.Send people to Jingzhou to transfer grain, seeds, livestock, farm tools, etc.

On the third day after the war, in Runan City, Liu Qi sat on the main seat in the hall of the prefect's mansion, with Pang Tong, Liu Pan, Huang Xu, and Hu Che'er on his left hand; Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Liu Pi, and Gong Du on his right hand.Liu Qi looked around, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Drink this glass to the full, and it will strengthen Jingzhou's strength!"

"Full drink!" Everyone toasted together and shouted.

After drinking, he put down the wine glass, watched the maid behind him fill it up again, Liu Qi picked it up again, laughed and said, "This time, I'm toasting to Liao Hua, Liu Pi, and Gong Du. These three people turned their backs to the light and returned to Jingzhou. You have the talents of a general, and they are all loyal men, + let the strength of our army increase greatly, congratulations!"

The three of them hurriedly stood up, raised their cups, and said: "My lord has won the prize! The last general will definitely do his best to live up to the lord's great kindness." After finishing speaking, they raised their heads and drank.Liu Qi applauded loudly, he is really a hero.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Qi began to award meritorious persons: Wei Yan was the prefect of Runan, the general of Suinan, and the governor of Runan affairs. Liu Qi also knew that Wei Yan liked luxury and showed off his conceit, so he specially rewarded him with a sword and a thousand taels of gold; The school lieutenant will reward five hundred gold for five thousand soldiers; Liu Pi and Gong are both generals of Zhonglang, each leading five thousand soldiers and horses.Pang Tong, Huang Xu, and Hu Che'er all received heavy rewards.

After the celebration banquet was over, everyone withdrew, and Liu Qi took a temporary rest in the prefect's mansion for one night.

The end of the war is often the first step in the matter, and it took several days to reorganize the army alone.This is not simply to eliminate the old and the weak and choose the elite.Instead, the level of household registration of all owners should be recorded in the register.Liu Pigong didn't know anything about literature, so he had to start from scratch.The old and weak women who have been removed have to distribute seeds, distribute land, and give houses, farm tools, and food for living before harvesting.

This made Wei Yan, who was the prefect for the first time, very busy. Fortunately, Pang Tong was there to help.And Liu Qi also agreed to let Pang Tong stay for a month to help out, which made Wei Yan feel at ease.

Liu Pi's army was reorganized, and the 1 army suffered more than 5000 casualties. After removing the old, weak, sick and disabled, only 1 people remained.There are more than 1000 people and Liu Qi doesn't really want it. If it weren't for the fear that Liu Bigong would feel uneasy, Liu Qi might just keep more than 1 people.Even so, Liu Qi asked 5000 of them to serve as garrisoners and [-] as garrison soldiers, led by Liao Hua.Few of the [-] troops can meet the physical requirements of Jingzhou soldiers because they are often full and hungry, and they don't even have the potential.

In this way, the strength of Runan's troops reached [-]. With Wei Yan's talents, self-defense is enough, and with the help of Liao Hua, Liu Pi, and Gong Du.Liu Qi felt relieved.The remaining Jingzhou soldiers and horses were naturally brought back to Xiangyang by Liu Qi.

Each city added some personnel, and only then did it have a trace of vitality.Later, refugees were recruited, and those who moved to the east of Runan came here, and they were given food. Liu Qi also exempted Runan from taxes and labor for three years.As a result, people from Runan came to vote in succession.

In just ten days, Runan had a thriving scene and began to prosper.One day, Liu Qi had nothing to do and took dozens of guards and generals Liu Pan, Huang Xu, and Hu Che'er out of the city to play.Seeing a mountain, Hu Che'er suggested hunting together, but actually wanted to eat game barbecue.

Huang Xu didn't give any face, and said bluntly: "Could it be that you, Hu Che'er, have a gluttonous stomach and are greedy again!"

"What nonsense. I just saw that the young master is in a good mood, so I suggested hunting to have fun. How can you be so selfish as you said." Hu Che'er blushed when he saw through his mind, and tried to defend himself, but his voice became smaller and smaller. .

Liu Qi's cousin, Liu Pan, is a prudent person, and he dissuaded him: "This is the border of Cao Cao, there will inevitably be bandits scouting, brother's safety is the most important thing!"

"No problem!" Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "The three of you each take two cavalrymen, and the rest are here to guard me. I'm not a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and there are so many strong guards, it's okay of."

"Then I'll go first!" Seeing that Liu Qi agreed, Hu Che'er hurriedly led the two of them there.

Huang Xu asked the guards again and again, and then went.

Seeing that Liu Pan would not go, Liu Qi also advised him to relax, but Liu Pan said: "Brother's safety is important, and you can hunt any day." Liu Qi was moved, but Liu Qi thought that there was no danger. After Liu Qi's repeated orders I like it, so I let him go.

The three of them went there for a while, when Liu Qi led the guards around the mountain, and suddenly saw a petite man collecting wild vegetables and fruits, with firewood on his back.
