The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 395 The chaos is about to be settled, a letter from Luoyang

When Chi Taining appeared in Du Yu's field of vision with the cavalry, Du Yu breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that the situation is not too bad, and the loss is not too great.

When Chi Taining returned to the hillside, Du Yu hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"Chang Lin died in battle, and nearly a thousand soldiers were killed or injured. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise none of them would have survived."

Chi Taining's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Du Yu's heart. He thought there would be at most a hundred casualties, but he did not expect such a large number of casualties.

From him to ordinary soldiers, from the Xiongnu to Jizhou and now to Qingzhou, they went very smoothly along the way without any setbacks.

This caused them to be dazzled, and this kind of pride needs to be calmed down with blood.The rebels in Qingzhou are different from other places. With the help of Yan Baihu, they have equipment comparable to that of the army.

The Wang family has been running Qingzhou for many years, and the combat quality of the army they have is not much worse than that of ordinary officers and soldiers.Originally, it was not difficult for them to defeat the rebels as long as they corrected their mentality, but they underestimated the enemy too much.

Turning his head to look at Liu Bian's position, beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead.Pulling Chi Taining to the place where Liu Bian was, he began to organize his words in his mind.

Seeing Liu Bian listening to Song Ran, he and Chi Taining stood at a distance without going forward.

Song Ran said to them: "Come here."

"General, the last general is guilty!" Du Yu said and knelt on the ground, Chi Taining also knelt down.

"Tell me about the situation?" Liu Bian said coldly.

"Lieutenant Chang Lin died in battle, and nearly a thousand soldiers were killed or injured." Du Yu said after a pause.

"Hmph!" Liu Bian snorted coldly and continued: "You have had such a smooth journey, do you think you are a victorious general?"

Du Yu lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Liu Bian got up and pointed at him and said, "This is the first and last time. A general: Wisdom, benevolence, trustworthiness, courage, and loyalty. A wise man will not be chaotic, but benevolence can love others. Faithfulness will not fail. To be brave is not to commit crimes, and to be loyal is to be unambiguous. To be a general, you should use five talents, and then you can be a general."

"It's good for you. You were dazzled by the victory, and you went to collect thirty military sticks, and you were fined for half a year, and you subsidized the dead and wounded sergeants!"

"General, take your orders! If you repeat the same mistakes again, you will kill yourself in front of the battle!" After Du Yu finished speaking, he took out a dagger and cut off his bun, and swore heavily.

Chi Taining beside him said: "The final general has not fulfilled the obligation of the political commissar, and he is willing to be punished together with the general!"

"If both of you are injured, who will lead the troops? If you are fined for half a year's salary, you will be spared the military stick." Liu Bian said coldly.

"I'm willing to be punished. I'm a soldier of a big man. Even if I get stuck with a stick, it won't affect the next battle!" Chi Taining said unconvinced.

Du Yu hastily tugged on the hem of his clothes, motioning him not to speak.Although he didn't know Liu Bian's identity, if His Majesty the Emperor was angry, it was absolutely impossible for Chi Taining to save his life.

Hearing his words, Liu Bian laughed and said, "Okay, let the two of you be punished in front of all the soldiers! Song Ran, go and imprison yourself!"

"Yes!"

Song Ran left with the two of them, just as Liu Bian was about to sit down, two people emerged from the woods behind him, a man and a woman both dressed as ordinary people.

The soldiers around him pointed their guns at them, Liu Bian raised his hand and said, "Your fellow, don't be nervous."

The two came to Liu Bian, knelt on the ground, and the man said, "Jiang Xin's spies from the Niandengfang pay their respects to your lord."

"Get up."

As Liu Bian spoke, he signaled the soldiers to step back and give them space.

The spy in the lantern room raised his hand and said: "Sir, the rebels in Langya City do not dare to reinforce Nanling in order to prevent the navy from landing. Wei Liang's troops have already begun to board the ship with the support of the Marine Corps, and they will be able to withdraw to Zhili today. sell."

"The army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions has been mobilized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deploy defenses in Runan. General Li's army has arrived in Jinan. General Li personally led [-] cavalry and has crossed the Naihe River. It is still two hundred miles away from Langya."

Hearing his words, Liu Bian smiled, and looked at the female Die standing beside him with interest.Seeing Liu Bian looking at her, she smiled shyly and said, "My lord, this humble post was entrusted by the Ministry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to bring the latest situation."

After saying that, she took out a sealed letter from Sanya and handed it to Liu Bian respectfully.

The letter was very long. Zhang Juzheng was worried about Liu Bian's safety at first, and all the ministers signed it.

The second piece of paper is the details of the interrogation of Yan Baihu. According to Yan Baihu's account, he started planning the rebellion five years ago.Because his son was beheaded by Wei Zheng, he pleaded with Liu Bian, but was refuted, so he held a grudge.

Later, many aristocratic families were afraid of the reform of the imperial court, so they colluded with him, and he provided the aristocratic family with inside information about the imperial court.He also asked his brothers of the same clan to plan in Xuzhou in advance, relying on the Wang family and Kong family in Qingzhou to attract the attention of the court.

Let Tan Hong of Xuzhou use his prestige and wealth in the business community to raise soldiers, weapons and supplies, and they will soon have Xuzhou in their hands.Xuzhou's wealth is world-famous. Whether it is grain output or the number of workshops, it ranks first among the Han states. With the power of Xuzhou alone, it can shake the rule of the Han state.

If the rebels in Yuzhou and Guangdong had not been wiped out quickly, Tan Hong would have used this opportunity to unify the three southern states.The letter also included a list of various officials who colluded with Yan Baihu. They claimed to be "princelings" and wanted to win over Liu Hao's connections in the name of his kindness.

"Hmph! This damned thief!" Liu Bian cursed angrily.

The next step is to summarize the recent situation in various places. The 30 troops from Jiaozhou and Yizhou have already set off and will arrive in Yangzhou in a few days.

The situation in Qingzhou was not clear, so Liu Hao and Zhang Juzheng did not dare to wait for Liu Bian to go to suppress the thieves, so they could only mobilize the army to suppress them first.

Liu Bian was not dissatisfied with this. When he made the plan before, he never thought that Shi Xinghe's nearly 20 troops would be defeated by the rebels.

Furthermore, the frontier troops from all over the country have expressed their willingness to be kings. Huo Qubing and Bai Qi are generals brought in by the system, so they naturally don't want to take advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty to make profits.But generals like Lu Bu who surrendered are hard to say. When the big man is stable, they are sharp swords that stab the enemy.

Now that the political situation of the Han Dynasty is unstable, they are very likely to become sharp knives stabbing the court of the Han Dynasty to death.Liu Bian's previous strategy of not mobilizing the frontier troops to return aid meant to contain them.

"It is commendable to be loyal."

The next piece of paper was written by Baosi and the concubines in the harem, all of which expressed concern for Liu Bian, hoped that he could return to Chang'an, and did not want him to continue to risk himself.

The last one was written by Liu Hao, and it was wrapped in animal skin alone.There was a layer of silk wrapped around it, and seeing that Liu Bian was about to open the letter, the two hurriedly backed away with their heads bowed respectfully.
