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

Chapter 468 Rewarding meritorious officials and conquering the southwest

The news that Zheng Chenggong led his army to conquer the Indian barbarians in the New World finally reached Luoyang half a year later.

Emperor Liu Bian of the Han Dynasty was very happy when he heard about it.

"Immediately reward Zheng Chenggong with a Jinshan, hereditary will not replace him!"

The current big man has already quelled the rebellion of the noble families in various places.

The only remaining unstable factor is the barbarians in the mountains in the southwest.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian appointed the chariot and cavalry general Ran Min as the governor, and went to crusade against the southwest rebels.

Ran Min led an army of [-], and soon encountered a barbarian army such as Baima Qiang and Hei Lang Liao in the southwest mountainous area. Ran Min led the army to fight bravely, and the results were brilliant, beheading more than [-] members of the barbarian army.

These are small units of barbarian tribes, not very powerful, but there are quite a few of them.

During the battle, Ran Min gained a lot of food and grass.

Liu Bian was very satisfied with this situation, and he immediately ordered Ran Min to continue marching northward until he wiped out the entire southwest barbarian tribe.

Such an order made many generals very angry, but they did not dare to disobey the order, so they could only follow the order.

Along the way, Ran Min led the army to conquer various cottages, villages, villages, etc., harvesting a total of more than 500 million shi of grain, livestock, weapons, armor, swords, armor, etc., and captured a large number of slaves, cattle and sheep, After these captives were burned to death by Ran Min, these slaves, livestock, cattle and sheep became trophies, and they were transported back to Luoyang and handed over to the ministers for disposal.

When receiving the order, some generals were unwilling to participate in such a conquest, because they felt that their strength was far inferior to that of Ran Min, and they also felt that such a conquest was of no benefit to them at all. , because their strength is not enough to resist those barbarians, but they may become cannon fodder.

But such thoughts were only fleeting, they still did not refute the order, and still obeyed the order.

This time, Ran Min conquered dozens of barbarian tribes and seized a large amount of supplies.

This time, Ran Min captured many women among these barbarian tribes.

"Haha, Ran Aiqing has solved a big problem for me this time."

In the main hall, Liu Bian looked at Ran Min with a smile.

"I report to Your Majesty, what the general has done is his due duty, and he dare not take credit for it. Please don't praise him so much." Ran Min said with a bow.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be humble, how many prisoners did you bring back this time?"

Liu Bian looked at Ran Min and asked.

"This time, at the end of the day, the barbarian tribes who were captured in the southwest were captured. A total of 250 million barbarians were captured, 270 million horses were seized, and more than 600 million catties of grain, weapons and other strategic materials were captured."

Ran Min replied truthfully.

"Good! You did a good job this time, and your record is brilliant." Liu Bian nodded in praise.

"Your Majesty is admirable. This is the duty of the last general. There are still many captives that the last general has not brought back." Ran Min replied.

"Oh? Captives? Have you captured any other prisoners?"

Hearing what Ran Min said, Liu Bian asked curiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time, the general captured a large number of barbarian women from the barbarian tribes in the southwest. They are all the daughters of barbarians, and they are all beautiful, but their fathers are all barbarians, so the general will Send them to Han Kingdom." Ran Min replied.

"Well, very good! This time your record is also very brilliant, so send all these prisoners to prison." Liu Bian nodded and said.

"Yes!"

Ran Min replied.

Afterwards, Ran Min ordered people to take away all the prisoners.

"Your Majesty, how to deal with these captives?"

Looking at the prisoners kneeling below, Ran Min asked Liu Bian.

"Since they are prisoners, they should be detained first, and you will punish them after you find out their criminal evidence." Liu Bian said.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Ran Min bowed and replied.

"Your Majesty, I heard that some of the generals on the front line want to surrender, please allow me."

At this time, a minister stood up and said to Liu Bian.

"Well, I understand, this matter is left to you to handle, you must catch them all, and then punish them severely, without tolerance." Liu Bian looked at Zhang Juzheng and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Juzheng said respectfully.

"Okay, you all step back." Liu Bian said.

"The minister waits to say goodbye!"

All the officials bowed and said, and then left the hall one after another.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of these captives?"

Ran Min asked Liu Bian at this time.

"Well, you should first send someone to investigate the details of these captives. If anyone is a spy, he will be beheaded for public display, and he will never be allowed to survive."

Liu Bian said to Ran Min.

"Yes!"

"Um."

Ran Min bowed and promised, then turned and left the hall.

After Ran Min left the hall, Liu Bian looked at the captives below and thought to himself: "The identities of these people are not simple, I can be sure that they must be nobles from some tribes, or have important powers, otherwise I won't let them have such a strong reaction."

"Come here, put all these captives into the sky prison and keep them under strict surveillance. I want to investigate carefully." Liu Bian gave an order to the guards around him.

"Yes!"

The guard made a promise, and then dragged all the prisoners down.

The night passed, and the next morning, Ran Min rushed to the next target with tens of thousands of prisoners.

This time, Ran Min took tens of thousands of captives to conquer the barbarian tribes in the southwest, and captured another nearly 40 people.

Most of these captives were women and children, and there were quite a few men.

Ran Min arrested all these captives and locked them in a large prison, and sent a large number of people to closely protect the lives of these captives.

During this period, Ran Min captured a lot of barbarian women, and then let these women enter and dedicate to Liu Bian, all of these women were some strong barbarian women.

These women, regardless of their age, are both beautiful and tall, with slender and well-proportioned bodies, fair skin, and beautiful faces. After Liu Bian saw them, he couldn't help but like them very much.

During this period of time, Liu Bian conquered more than a dozen tribes in a row, conquered all the women in these tribes, and then imprisoned them.

The captives of these dozen tribes were all imprisoned in the military camps of the Han Dynasty. All of these captives were barbarian elites, and some were even chiefs of the tribes.

Among the barbarian tribes, although their folk customs are tough, their war potential is also huge.
