Chapter 45 What is the harvest of the bandit suppression?
What are the gains from the suppression of bandits in Volume 2?
Before Ding Yuan's death, the military power of Bingzhou was mainly divided into three parts. Ding Yuan's subordinates were 30,000, Lu Bu's troops and Gao Shun's trap camp totaled more than 4,000, and Yanbei infantry and cavalry three-tone led by Nie Liao - 1,500 people.
After Ding Yuan's death, 10,000 of the 30,000 Bingzhou army was left to Nie Liao as his subordinate. The remaining 20,000 Dong Zhuo wanted to break up and split into He Jin's old subordinates and replace them with another group of people to lead. But Ding Yuan treats everyone well. Many Bingzhou soldiers are unwilling to be under the jurisdiction of Dong Zhuo, and they are even more unwilling to be suppressed by Liangzhou people. Under the secret instigation of "some people", they face all the Liangzhou generals with the spirit of not making big mistakes and keeping small mistakes, which makes the Liangzhou generals very troubled. A small official in Liangzhou held back for two days and wanted to kill Bingzhou soldiers to establish his authority, but he killed people the day before, and the next day, Nie Liao found fault and threw them off the city and fell to death.
It doesn't count if he fell to death. Before the Liangzhou people could react, Nie Liao turned around and went to Dong Zhuo to "cry" and said that he was wholeheartedly devoted to the court. Unexpectedly, there were Liangzhou soldiers who excluded him and tried to throw him off the city on the spot. Therefore, for reasons of self-defense and for the sake of being unable to shame the emperor's general, he "accidentally" "touched" the man off the city.
Leave you down? How many people dare? This is obviously nonsense.
Seeing Nie Liao showing off his attitude of "I am a scoundrel, who am I afraid of?", Dong Zhuo resisted the urge to throw things, smiled at Nie Liao, and trembled three layers of chin and big belly. When Nie Liao, who was pretending to be demented, left, he changed the Bingzhou generals back at Li Ru's suggestion, and then kicked Nie Liao and Nie Liao's 10,000 Bingzhou soldiers to Hedong to wipe out the Baibo bandits.
Since it is inconvenient to control it, just throw it as cannon fodder.
Dong Zhuo asked his Liangzhou army to rest and recuperate all day long and threw Nie Liao out. As for Lu Bu, he still did not give any tasks. He kept food and drink, and went to the mansion to reward him every now and then, resolutely refused to let Lu Bu go away and could only be trapped by his side. He also promoted all day long to those in the court that Lu Bu was a very loyal guard, faithfully protecting himself, so that he was not killed by assassins. As a result, the senior officials from the court were very dissatisfied with Lu Bu, Nie Liao and the Bingzhou Group, as if they were the first to greet him and surrendered to Dong Pang.
"Those adults told me to stay away from my elder brother, saying that Dong Zhuo would sooner or later..." Guo Jia told Ye Xiaoyi about the private banquet, and told her that she had received a letter from Chen Ji, asking everyone why they didn't bring their troops back to Bingzhou and stayed in Luoyang, at least there was no advantage at the moment.
"Meow, this fat man actually lied. No one assassinated him at all! He did this to isolate his elder brother." After hearing Guo Jia's description, Ye Xiaoyi decided to rush in front of Dong Pang and create a round of rumors about Lu Bu outside Luoyang: forced to hand over the Bingzhou troops, be loyal to the royal family, face the enemy head-on with Dong Pang in the court, maintain the dignity of the emperor, and not lead the troops to fight for Dong Pang... More than 20 rumors came out instantly, causing her to immediately pull Guo Jia, let him confuse scholars and induce the people to consider how to plan and spread rumors that benefit the Bingzhou Group.
"What a hundred officials in the court are silent, and Lu Bu of Bingzhou is the only one who picks Hua Xiong. What a good man in Bingzhou is better than to die than to train Liangzhou soldiers for Dong Pang. What a lot of civil and military officials in the court, Lu Bu of Bingzhou stands up to protect the dragon power... And Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou is handsome and righteous. I can't think of the rhythm. In short, the more difficult you describe the situation of your elder brother, the more sympathetic it is, the better. On the contrary, Fatty Dong, you will succeed if you make him like a pile of shit. If it really doesn't work, you can add something else. For example, Fatty Dong is dirty and has a unique "hobby". Nie Liaoxu of Bingzhou is vowed to death and is steadfast, unyielding and unyielding. A good horse is not worthy of the second saddle, and a good girl is not worthy of the second husband. Alas..." Ye Xiaoyi was kicked from behind. She covered her butt and turned around. Seeing Nie Liao's teeth itched.
"Why are the elder brother's serious descriptions, but it has changed when I come to my place?" Nie Liao pinched Ye Xiaoyi's cheek and gave her another head.
"Hehe, there must be someone who sacrifices this." Ye Xiaoyi smiled flatteringly: "Eliminating the enemy is not only physically but also spiritually. Spreading rumors to him is the first step. It's just the beginning, and there are many more behind it. From the eight generations of his ancestors to his past and present lives, there are only things that cannot be made up, and nothing that cannot be said."
"..." Nie Liao rolled his eyes, "Anyway, you can't spread rumors so much. In addition, Dong Zhuo asked me to go to Hedong to wipe out the Baibo bandits. I want to ask Fengxiao what you think."
"Tsk~ This fat man wants to kill someone with a knife." Ye Xiaoyi said that this was quite depressed. Although the Baibo bandit was not Nie Liao's opponent, what if the Baibo bandits were beaten to others after they were beaten? The remaining bandits of the Yellow Turban have not been completely eliminated. If they continue to fight like this, Nie Liao could change his name to the Bandit Suppression Special Forces.
"It's not a question of killing people with a knife, but it's certain to consume strength. Besides you, who else did Dong Zhuo send?" Guo Jia felt that things had both pros and cons. The disadvantage is that war will inevitably consume military personnel. The advantage is that at least it will not reduce combat effectiveness because of long-term consumption in Luoyang. Moreover, sweeping Hedong will also be beneficial to the peace of the Bingzhou border.
"Li Meng, Wang Fang." Nie Liao replied.
"It's Dong Zhuo's old army." Guo Jia thought for a while, and then his thoughts turned to the Baibo bandits. When the imperial court sent troops to wipe out the Yellow Turbans, he won several victories, but many large Yellow Turbans became small stocks, and small stocks became deserted. However, some remnants of forces formed their own troops and plundered everywhere. The more famous ones were Heishan, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Sili, etc. Guo Tai, who started from Baibo Valley in Xihe County, was one of them. After he and Ye Xiaoyi and others returned to Bingzhou, they mainly focused on several counties east of the Yellow River. Later, they lobbied Zhang Yan, the main force of the Black Turban bandits, and paid more attention to protecting the existing territory and did not attack Xihe County in the west. To be honest, it was beyond the reach at that time.
"Yes, they also brought 20,000 troops. So, my tolerance is difficult. Who knows if they will leave me alone to fight and then deduct food and grass." Nie Liao was not worried about not defeating the Baibo thief, but was worried that the two of them would attack from behind.
"It doesn't matter. If Brother Liao, you have something to do, I will ask my elder brother to kill Dong Pang immediately to avenge you, and then beat drums to send Sister Shen Xian to a famous Yingchuan scholar's house. Sister Shen Xian is very popular in Jinyang." Ye Xiaoyi said that with Nie Liao's ability and number of troops, those two people should not dare.
"Bah, you crow's mouth. Bah, bah, bah." Nie Liao grabbed Ye Xiaoyi and shook it, "Tell me who dares to covet Shen Xian? Damn, even my woman dares to look at me. I will go back and arrest them one by one and bleed."
"Haha, don't talk about these things. The key is... Xiaoyi and I heard that Yu Fuluo might be mingling with the Baibo bandit." Guo Jia rescued Ye Xiaoyi before she was shaken and fragmented.
"Ah? Fuluo? You said he was mixed with the White Bo bandits? He didn't return to the Xiongnu tribe?" Nie Liao's eyes widened when he heard Yu Fuluo's name. Back then, he had the best relationship with Yu Fuluo. He went out to hunt and was basically together, and he would not separate from killing and setting fire. However, when he was separated for six young people, he rarely received news from Yu Fuluo. During this period, he also received a letter from Ye Xiaoyi that Yu Fuluo might be summoned by the court to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits, but Ye Xiaoyi did not mention it again. He forgot to ask because he was busy with the matter in Luoyang.
"Where can he go back? He is the son of the former Xiongnu Shanyu. His father was killed by his subordinates, but he had no choice but to return and stayed in the Xihe area. Later, it seemed that in order to survive, he joined forces with the Baibo bandits and robbed them together. Moreover, I heard that he had established himself as the Southern Shanyu." Guo Jia sighed.
"Ah, that boy has become Shanyu? Isn't that equivalent to our prince?" Nie Liao heard the words Shanyu, his eyes shining, "I said why he is taciturn and a little arrogant. Damn, if I knew he was the prince back then, I would immediately knock on his big bamboo robbery."
"Bah, you don't think about good things. In short, please pay attention to whether there is any news about Yu Fuluo this time. If he wants, let him take people back to Jiuyuan and guard the north of Wuyuan County, so that I can count the money for him. If I have the chance in the future, I will help him settle those tribes and avenge his father." Ye Xiaoyi has long been thinking about Yu Fuluo's Hun soldiers. The Hu and Han people in Bingzhou have been mixed for many years, and the ethnic integration of the people is quite good. Many of Yu Fuluo's southern Hun soldiers are from the north of Bingzhou, and they are also familiar with that area. As long as food and grass are provided and trained, they can probably become a small barrier in the north. Of course, the premise is that Yu Fuluo also regards everyone as brothers and will not betray them.
"Hey, you are rich and powerful, and you still hire an army. Let's not talk about it for now. If you meet Fu Luo, I will try to bring him back safely." Nie Liao made a gesture of obedience and asked Ye Xiaoyi and Guo Jia: "Do you have any other needs?"
"Oh, it's Nie Liao. Where are you going? Bring me some delicious food back." Hua Tuo just came back from the kitchen, and he followed Liu Ye holding a basin of fried chicken legs.
"I just know how to eat. Brother Liao is going to wipe out the Baibo bandits in Hedong." Ye Xiaoyi angrily snatched four chicken legs and then distributed them to Guo Jia two.
"Hedong Baibo bandits? Let me think about it..." Hua Tuo pretended to be a great immortal, and calculated. After the calculation, he laughed and lay down in Ye Xiaoyi's ear and said a few words. After Ye Xiaoyi's hearing this, his eyes lit up. She said to Nie Liao: "Catch more live people, especially those who are particularly capable of fighting. You must not kill them. After the fight, you will take them all back to Luoyang and suggest that Dong Zhuo sell them publicly as slaves. Dong Pang likes to make money and should agree. Of course, you must remember all the things that can be beaten and what cannot be beaten."
"What if Dong Zhuo disagrees?" Nie Liao asked.
"What do you want you to do? Just say you can make up for the losses of the army, or find a noble reason to say that the money you sell will improve food for the emperor or repair a house. Anyway, you will be sold." Ye Xiaoyi rubbed his palms.
"I understand. Catch the living, sell people. Catch the living, sell people... You wealthy fans." Nie Liao curled his lips and ran to Lu Bu's yard to "report" to Lu Bu's unreasonable requests.
"Xiaoyi, what other tricks did Yuanhua tell you?" Guo Jia found that there were four big words printed on Ye Xiaoyi's face - salivating.
"Let's talk about it then." Ye Xiaoyi pulled Guo Jia's sleeve and said, "Come on, come on, go counting money and playing with me."
"Count the money?" Hua Tuo turned his head, "Poor people~ common things~~"
Whether it is a poor or a common thing, Ye Xiaoyi and Guo Jia counted the money for half a month and finally came back to Nie Liao. Nie Liao returned to the city, and was very powerful. There was an orderly army in front, followed by dirty and chaotic prisoners, and the last one was a surrendered army. The three formed a sharp contrast. Guo Jia also wrote a memorial for Nie Liao, which roughly means that the power of heaven is very powerful, so Nie Liao went to deal with the Baibo bandits in Kou Hedong, and the criminals fled. So he brought the prisoners back, hoping to sell these prisoners to the officials of each family as slaves, and the money they got was used to help the poor and show their power. Of course, it was also possible to repair the palace.
In short, after winning the battle, everything belongs to the emperor, and nothing happened to Dong Pang.
In fact, even if the inside and outside the memorials were not so obvious, all officials knew that Nie Liao wanted to try his best to put aside his relationship with Dong Zhuo. The Baibo thieves in Hedong left, but they were not dead and fled to the Sanfu area. Moreover, since Dong Zhuo became the Grand Marshal, he has robbed many wealthy families in Luoyang, killed and burned, which made the people angry and lived in vain. Dong Zhuo himself was a group of women in the palace all day long, even the princesses, after playing "Xingfu" life, he also made money everywhere, collected bronze ware and cast small money, which led to the rapid growth of prices near Luoyang, and the people did not dare to go out... At this time, they were talking about buying and selling slaves and saving the poor, which was a nonsense.
But the facts are true. Those scholars in the court with a conscience, such as Cai Yong, actually arrested Nie Liao's memorial, persuaded Dong Zhuo to appease the people and the scholars, and restrained the behavior of the soldiers. When other officials saw Cai Yong stand up, they all agreed and asked Dong Zhuo to be kind and not to kill the people, so that there would be no place to rob them in the future.
When Dong Zhuo received Nie Liao's memorial, he always felt something strange. But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out. With the officials' persuasion, he promised Nie Liao to sell the slaves and that the money could also be used to repair the palace. In addition, in order to better monitor the process of buying and selling slaves, he also specially sent Cao Cao to take charge of the matter. As for the surrendered general Yang Feng, he granted an official position and asked Yang Feng to lead the surrendered soldiers and He Jin's troops to a mixed army.
Hearing Dong Pang agree, Ye Xiaoyi and Hua Tuo cheered. They immediately ordered twenty officials and borrowed twenty divisions from Lu Bu. More than one hundred people went to the slave market in a mighty manner.
The Yellow Turbans have been robbing for years, and the people have no time to farm, which has led to the shortage of food and food in the prefectures and counties near Luoyang. In addition, Dong Zhuo's heavy taxes and the depreciation of coins, the slaves were the most valuable at this time. But considering that these slaves were Baibo bandits and at least some combat power, some people still wanted to buy some to go back as a division. Therefore, the slave market was not too deserted.
When Ye Xiaoyi came to the market, there were already a few people choosing. Ye Xiaoyi didn’t want to come early, but she came too early, which made her seem more premeditated and inappropriate.
"Oh, Fengxiao, are you here too?" Cao Cao hurried over to say hello when he saw Guo Jia.
"Haha, pick a few people back and serve as a division." Guo Jia pointed at Ye Xiaoyi, "She said that the division at home was not fierce enough and could not scare people."
"Then you are late." Cao Cao shook his head, "I have picked up all the strong ones. Now many of the remaining ones are injured, and some are tattered and dirty. I am afraid Miss Ye will dislike them."
"Oh~ Whether it's dirty or not, buying it can be considered a life-saving thing, and it's a good deed." Ye Xiaoyi was wearing women's clothing today, and he could only speak as gentle as those ladies.
"Well, ye Hu, go with the lady." Guo Jia held back his laughter, entangled Cao Cao, and asked Ye Xiaoyi to pick people. Ye Xiaoyi "moved his lotus step lightly" and his eyes shot towards the prisoners like lightning. Before Nie Liao left, she specifically advised Nie Liao. As long as he was a more powerful person, it would be better to describe it as an attempt and dirty, especially the one on her list, she had to draw a small cross with a sword on the left side of her forehead to facilitate her to recognize it.
From front to back, Ye Xiaoyi walked for more than a dozen rows before he found the one he was looking for among the second-to-last row. He heard from Nie Liao that it took a lot of trouble to catch this person. It was better to follow Guo Jia's teachings to find a bunch of people to siege the guy, and then captured the guy alive with a fishing net. Later, he saw that this person was jumping around and trying to escape. He had to starve for many days and only gave water to drink, which made the guy lose his energy. Finally, he used the "makeup technique" taught by Hua Tuo to dress him up as if he was almost halfway through the ground, and then he was relieved to stuff the captives' large army.
"What's your name?" Ye Xiaoyi and Hua Tuo suppressed their excitement and asked from several people next to them.
"Zhang San." The man's leg was broken for several days. When he saw Ye Xiaoyi asking, he guessed that he wanted to buy him, so he hurriedly kowtowed, hoping that the seemingly gentle woman in front of him could save his life.
"Haha. OK." Ye Xiaoyi nodded and then asked another one: "Where are you?"
"Li Si."
"Haha. OK. What about you?"
"Wang Ermazi."
"Haha... it's very vivid. Where are you?" Ye Xiaoyi asked the main owner, and his hands were trembling.
“…Xu Huang…”
"Haha... a very ordinary name...whether of you?" Ye Xiaoyi felt so beautiful.
"Bois."
"Haha..." It sounds very much like the leader of a country in his previous life. Ye Xiaoyi pretended to ask about ten people before saying to the soldiers who followed him that he wanted all the questions he had asked.
The soldier tied up the good people and took Ye Xiaoyi to Cao Cao to pay the money. Cao Cao didn't understand Ye Xiaoyi's "unoutstanding" people. But considering that Ye Xiaoyi, a woman, might not know how to select soldiers, she felt relieved and thought she was buying it back to serve the scene.
"Haha, Brother Cao, then we'll leave." Guo Jia took Ye Xiaoyi's hand and said goodbye to Cao Cao. Judging from Ye Xiaoyi's sweaty hands, he found the person he wanted.
"Goodbye, Brother Cao, please ask Sister Bian on your behalf. I said I haven't seen her for a while and I miss her very much. Please be sure to come to the house if you have time." Ye Xiaoyi said some polite words and hurriedly grabbed Guo Jia and left so that he would not laugh out loud in front of Cao Cao.
"Xiaoyi, why is your face twisted?" Guo Jia asked strangely after walking far away.
Why is it twisted? Stupid!
Smiling!
It's hard not to laugh if you take away a famous general Xu Huang from Cao Cao's eyes! Hahahaha~
