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

Chapter 433: Lantern Festival, Peaceful Country with Force

"Lao Liu, come here and help me down." Di Cang said weakly.

"Here we come!" Feng Liu hurried over to support Di Cang.

Looking at the rebel corpses all over the floor, Di Cang said: "Damn, they were almost killed. Count the losses and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Well, I'll do the statistics now," said political commissar Zhang Rong.

After half a day's fighting, Du Yu's cavalry defeated the rebels.Wang Luanzhi was killed, no less than 4000 rebels were killed or injured, [-] were captured, and the rest had fled.

"Your Highness, the battle is over. Of the [-] rebels, only [-] escaped. I didn't expect Tan Zhang to be so vulnerable." Wei Maoshi said excitedly.

"Okay! Send the reserve team to take over the defense of Kangcun, and let General Du lead the troops back." Liu Hao said excitedly.

I didn't expect to fight a beautiful annihilation battle in the New Year. Although a few warships were lost, it was worthwhile to annihilate so many enemies.Next, just do a good job of defense and give Li Cunxiao time to conquer Pengcheng.

The courier from Suiyang to Chang'an traveled thousands of miles a day at high speed, and the ice and snow along the way could not slow him down.The Dawan horse on his crotch is a bloody horse that even Di Cang envies.

The big man has already conquered the method of cultivating sweat-blooded horses, and now the third-generation sweat-blooded horses will take two years to be ready for slaughter.At that time, at least [-] mature horses will be provided to the big man, which will push the already invincible army of the big man to a higher position.

The messenger galloped all the way, changed horses once on the road and arrived in Chang'an.It was already the day of the Lantern Festival, and Liu Bian brought his family and representatives of the people from the inner city and various places to gather together.

"Your Majesty, the great victory in Suiyang has wiped out more than [-] enemies and taken nearly [-] prisoners." Wu Luzhen said to Liu Bian.

"Well! It's just a small victory, not a big victory." Liu Bian said with a smile.

Even though he said so, Wu Luzhen could see that Liu Bian was still very happy when he picked up the wine glass and drank it full.But Liu Bian was still a little worried. After all, there were nearly a million rebels in Xuzhou. Liu Hao won the first victory, so don't be proud.

A general must be calm at all times in order to better consider things from an overall perspective.For a proud general, the soldiers under him must also be proud. This is a taboo on the battlefield and will cause big problems.

"Go and write a letter to tell the crown prince not to be proud. Wait until Guangling is captured before passing on the victory. It's still cold winter, so it's not easy to make a big move." Liu Bian said slowly.

"Yes. I'll let Song Ran write the letter." Wu Luzhen left with his hands clasped.

In this way, Liu Hao's victory in Suiyang was deliberately suppressed by Liu Bian.

"Hahahaha! The Dog Emperor finally can't wait any longer. The Lantern Festival will send me on my way, and the old man will not lose." Yan Baihu looked at the guards who were walking towards him and shouted.

He has been imprisoned in the prison for a long time, thinking every day when he will be beheaded.His family members had been killed and he was the only one left.Now all his cronies have been arrested, only the rebels in Xuzhou are still holding on.

But to fight against the huge Han Empire, it is still difficult to shake the rule of the imperial court by relying on Xuzhou alone.Liu Bian ordered people to tell him the recent policies of the imperial court, and he knew that Liu Bian had occupied the commanding heights of public opinion.It is already difficult for the common people to be won over by the Kong family and Tan Hong, and the only thing waiting for them is destruction.

"It's useless to talk, let's go!" The guard pierced Yan Baihu's chest with a sword, not giving him a chance to continue speaking.

Yan Baihu collapsed convulsively and lost his life.Several guards carried him away, and he was burned to ashes outside the dungeon.

Originally, Liu Bian didn't want to kill him in a hurry, but wanted him to see the scene of the destruction of the Xuzhou rebels, so that he could know that the people in the world were still on the side of the big man.

But there are rebels in the city who want to rob the prison. He must kill Yan Baihu and drive these rebels away so that they can be wiped out.They can enter Chang'an calmly, there must be some help, this person's position will not be very low.

It will always be a disaster to keep such a person in Chang'an who can't be found in the twisting room.It is still worthwhile to use Yan Baihu's life to find out this inner cause.

"Your Majesty, Yan Baihu has been solved." Xiao Cong said in a low voice.

"Okay. Go and call Wu Luzhen." Liu Bian and all the officials said while toasting.

After a cup of tea, Wu Luzhen came in a hurry.Leaning over to Liu Bian's ear, he said, "The news of Yan Baihu's death has been released, but there is no news from Niandengfang yet."

"I know, hurry up and do it." Liu Bian said with a frown.

Drinking and dancing with the officials did not end until late at night.It wasn't that Liu Bian didn't want to end it sooner, it was because Ran Min and Bai Qi, who rushed back from the Western Regions, dragged him to drink non-stop, and it was really hard to escape.

That night Liu Bian spent the night in Baosi's palace, and got up early the next day to go to court to handle government affairs.The weather in winter is harsh, and Yizhou's tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land are almost at a loss.He has to deal with it in advance, otherwise the people in Yizhou, who are not rich at all, will have a hard time living.

In the Qilin Hall, all the officials have been waiting for a long time.

Although yesterday it was said that the monarchs and ministers were drinking and chatting, but today they are dealing with political affairs. They are afraid that the time will be delayed, and many people did not dare to sleep last night.

"Loves, how should we deal with the catastrophe in Yizhou?" Liu Bian was the first to ask.

All the officials looked at Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the catastrophe in Yizhou is indeed a natural disaster. Now that the spring is approaching, replanting can be done. As long as we deal with it properly, the people's granary will be full during the autumn harvest." of."

"Master Zhang is right. The Ministry of Household Affairs has already begun to mobilize fine seeds from all over the country, and they will be shipped to Yizhou in a few days." Yu Qian cupped his hands and said.

"Some profiteers in Yizhou wantonly hoarded grain and drove up prices. They spread rumors that production would be cut off this year, and people rushed to buy grain with huge sums of money. It has already caused chaos in Yinping, Zitong and other places. Can we first open warehouses to release grain and control prices?" Wang Anshi Said.

Hearing what they said, Liu Bian nodded and said: "Yizhou opened warehouses to release grain, sold it at a fair price, and controlled prices. All profiteers who stock up on goods and drive up prices will be strictly investigated, and anyone who violates the laws of the Han Dynasty will be severely investigated. Zhang Jingming, the shepherd of Yizhou, did not deal with the riot in a timely manner, so he issued a warning. Yushitai is going to investigate, and if there is any malfeasance, it will be dealt with immediately."

"Yes!" Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Ran Min stepped forward and said, "I am returning to Chang'an from West Asia. Along the way, I saw that the horses ridden by the Han people were all rare horses. I would like to ask Sir Yu. Why aren't these good horses given priority to the border troops?"

Everyone looked at him curiously, this great general who returned from West Asia has achieved a great reputation in West Asia, not much worse than the 'God of Death' Bai Qi next to him.

Co-authoring this is a greedy horse. If he knows that Liu Bian has put nearly 20 horses in Uliasutai, I don’t know how he will feel.
