Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 241

Qin Liang led his troops to enter from the rear camp of the bandit army. Two Qu commanders stepped forward to block them, but they were all killed by Qin Liang.

He rushed straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that Zhang Fei also arrived alone, covered in blood, full of murderous aura, like a god of killing, he couldn't help being surprised.

Zhang Fei ordered Qin Liang to divide the troops into five groups and go to various parts of the camp to persuade them to surrender. Li Le was dead, and the rest of the troops also came from both sides of the river.

It took less than half an hour for the two armies to fight, and the bandit army surrendered or dispersed. Corpses were strewn across the bank, and blood flowed into canals. Under the setting sun, it was as shocking as hell.

The men and horses crossed the river overnight and camped. Zhang Fei had already sent someone to report to Liu He. He held a banquet in the Chinese army's tent to celebrate his victory. He laughed and said, "What is my general's plan?"

Qin Liang and others all admired it, but Wang Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The general, except for the general, no one can use this plan."

"Why don't you call it General's Strategy?" Zhang Fei stared, raised his glass and laughed loudly: "Everyone will follow Lao Zhang and use General's strategy more, that will be fun, do it!"

"Do it!" Qin Liang and the others stood up to toast.

A few days ago, the two armies scolded each other, and everyone was suffocated. Today's battle can be regarded as a happy one.

Holding the wine bowl, Wang Ji sighed, "If you want to use general tactics, you must first learn how to fight against thousands of people!"

After drinking three bowls of wine, Zhang Fei always felt that the taste was not right and it was difficult to enjoy himself to the full. He simply put down the wine bowl and asked, "This time I will send troops from the five routes. Let's see, are we the fastest route?"

"It's hard to say!" Wang Ji frowned and said, "General Liu has a lot of tricks, General Guan is the best of the three armies, and General Zhang He has Mr. Cheng's plan. I'm afraid the bandits are no match."

Zhang Fei snorted, and said: "We have already won this way, so it's boring to wait here. We should go to help others. Where do you think we should go?"

Qin Liang said: "The subordinates feel that we should go to Linfen. My lord still has 3 soldiers from the east of the river to help me. I don't need any support. The captives will tell me that Linfen Hucai is more powerful than Li Le. With [-] troops, he is not easy to deal with."

"Hahaha, good!" Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I just like to find faults. They are all from Zhang's family. Let's help Jun Yi."

All the generals agreed in unison, and after the banquet was withdrawn, they each rested and prepared to march to Linfen tomorrow.

Linfen County was already occupied by the Baibo army at this time, and Hu Cai was the strongest among the bandit army, and he was allocated the best territory, with a city and land, and he just waited for the autumn grain to be harvested.

On this day, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to report. Bai Bo's army had already discovered that Liu He had arrived in Hedong. Guo Tai ordered all the troops to just defend and not fall into the trap.

At this time, there was insufficient food and grass, and Hu Cai had no intention of fighting. He only sent troops to defend along the river. As long as the officers and soldiers could not cross the river, there was no threat.

In the evening, the minion came to report again, saying that the Han army had erected a banner of "calling for security" on the opposite bank, and ordered people to shout to persuade them to surrender, and asked Hu Cai to go and see it in person.

Hu Cai was drinking in the mansion, and he said displeasedly: "The officers and soldiers shout and let him shout, what do you want to do with him?"

The man replied: "Boss, it's not nice for officers and soldiers to shout. If we don't respond in time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Hu Cai put down his wine bowl and said in a deep voice, "What are they shouting for?"

"Shout, shout..." The man's mouth moved, but he didn't dare to say it, "Boss, you'd better go there yourself."

Hu Cai let out a cold snort, and came out of the city towards the shore. From afar, he saw a red flag fluttering in the wind on the opposite bank, with the words "Zhaoan" written on it, and vaguely heard shouts and shouts in order.

Urging the horses to come to the shore, I saw officers and soldiers standing in four square formations on the opposite side, and a row of tables and tables were set up with stones in front of them. The common people who did not know where they were found were eating wine, meat and meals there, which looked very rich.

Hu Cai couldn't help swallowing, and asked, "What are their names?"

The man replied: "When the drums sound, there will be slogans."

dong dong dong-

At this moment, a drum sounded from the opposite side.

Immediately afterwards, the phalanx soldiers in the middle shouted: "Voluntarily surrender the ten mu of land—"

Those people who were holding the bowls and chopsticks, and some were holding the legs of lamb and chicken, shouted in unison: "I was captured as a slave!"

dong dong dong-

A soldier from another phalanx shouted: "Hu Cai's head is worth [-] yuan——"

The people shouted: "Let the whole family celebrate the New Year!"

dong dong dong-

"Hide on the other side, the incense will be cut off——"

"Come to the banner, eat delicious food and drink spicy food!"

……

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" Hu Cai heard it clearly, stomped his feet and cursed in anger, and pointed at the officers and soldiers on the other side tremblingly, "Despicable and shameless, I'm going to kill him."

"Boss, it's not appropriate to send troops now!" The entourage quickly stopped Hu Cai, watched the other side eating meat and drinking, feasting, licking his dry lips, and said helplessly: "The officers and soldiers are waiting for us to rush over!"

"But this—" Hu Cai saw someone shaking a leg of lamb at him, and said angrily, "This is obviously a way to break the morale of the army. If someone really...wouldn't I be in danger?"

The man cast a greedy glance at the other side, and said with a forced smile: "We are all brothers, everyone is loyal, so we may not betray the boss."

"Hmph!" Hu Cai was so angry that his face was livid, he gritted his teeth and looked at the opposite side, his fists were clenched.

You Qi yelled the phrase "Hucai's head is [-] yuan, and the whole family celebrates the New Year!", which made him terrified, and suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were not right, and they all had malicious intentions.

Hu Cai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Give me an order to send out all the money and food in the treasury tonight, three catties of food per person, and make all the meat into dinner, so that the brothers can eat and drink well."

The man was shocked and said: "Boss, it's all divided, what will we eat tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow..." Hu Cai gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, stabilize the morale of the army first. I will send someone to urge Chief Guo to bring some food over overnight."

"Obey!" The soldiers rushed to prepare.

When the order was passed down, the Baibo army who swallowed their saliva suddenly burst into cheers, and finally they also had a share of wine and meat.

Hu Cai's face was gloomy, and when he saw that the drum was about to be beat on the other side, he hurriedly covered his ears and got on his horse back to the city. Along the way, there were constant shouts in his ears, which made his heart tremble.

Back in the city, Hu Cai sent someone to report to Mrs. Guo, asking him to send some food and grass as soon as possible.

After arriving at the government office, he doubled the number of guards. Except for the [-] cronies who followed him first, all the other idlers were driven out, even the two concubines who were serving him were also driven away.

Looking at the empty room, Hu Caicai breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was no one around, he felt more flustered and confused.

"One hundred thousand dollars, is my head really worth that much?"

Looking at the gradually dimming night, Hu Cai murmured to himself, not to mention other people, even he was a little tempted by such a temptation.

Thinking of this, Hu Cai couldn't help shivering, threw himself on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.

He felt that what he was holding was a gleaming piece of gold, and anyone who saw it would try to take it away.
