Chapter 72

Pingyuan city is the place under the rule of Pingyuan, but it was decided by the first battle between Liu Ye and Liu Bei. The scattered yellow turban thieves fled to the surrounding counties and immediately brought the news to them. All the Yellow turban bandits stationed in several counties were terrified.

Tens of thousands of people will be defeated in one battle. The thousands of people we have on hand are not enough for the officers and soldiers to crack their teeth.

Meanwhile, Liu Bei and Liu Ye set up banners in plain city to settle down their army and horses. Meanwhile, they sent sentries and horses to issue edicts to the counties still occupied by yellow turban thieves.

"You and other moth thieves are troubling the common people and endangering the place. Liu Ye, the Marquis of Qingzhou army, and Liu Bei, the Sima of Youzhou army, came with a large army. All of a sudden, they broke down tens of thousands of bandits and killed Meng Bao, the commander of the thieves. If the Yellow turban thieves do not come down early and abandon the city, Sima, the Marquis of the army, will be in charge of the army and go to ask for it in person. Don't mistake yourself! "

With dozens of documents, the sentry went to nine counties in the plain country except Gaotang county. They shot the documents into the city with arrows. All the Yellow turban thieves were terrified.

Leling county.

It has been several months since the Yellow turban bandits occupied the area, and almost all the rich merchants were killed. However, the Yellow turban thieves blocked all the city gates, so the residents in the city suffered a lot.

However, on this day, somehow, the city gate of Leling County suddenly opened, and then the yellow scarf thieves gathered in a crowd. They rushed out from Leling county with large and small packages, like refugees fleeing. There was no yellow scarf in the city.

"How did the moth thief go?"

"Yes, these moth thieves still run back to the mountain."

"Is it the Imperial Army coming?"

At this time, someone picked up the notice on the ground and found a few literate scholars. Only then did they understand what was going on.

A Confucian scholar with an excited expression waved the document in his hand: "the Yellow turban thief is a disaster for the plain country. The so-called national calamity will be considered. Liu junhou and Liu Sima swept Qingzhou. We are all saved. We are really heroes."

Ten counties in Pingyuan County saw this document and got news from Kuizhou's mouth. Suddenly, people were in danger. Except Xichang county and Yanci County, all the Yellow turban thieves in each city ran clean.

Most of the counties in the plain state were called upon to do so. Only Xichang county and Yanci county were still occupied by bandits. After waiting patiently for five days, Liu Bei and Liu Ye were determined to make an example. Liu Ye led 300 cavalry, Guan Yu commander 500 soldiers, Guan Hai stayed in the city to recuperate, and the two soldiers together more than 800, killed Xichang County in one breath. Liu Ye selects more than a dozen healthy soldiers and disguises civilians to come to the gate of the city. As a result, people are injured violently. After taking control of the gate, Guan Yu's commander kills them. Where can the Yellow turban thieves resist? After being killed by hundreds of people, Xichang City will be settled in two days.

Xichang City was pacified by the first World War, and the Yellow turban bandits in Yanci county were also frightened. They withdrew from the city within a few days. Before that, Pingyuan country, which was still a heavy disaster area, was swept away by Liu Bei and Liu Ye's headquarters in less than ten days. After all, Liu Bei and Liu Ye had so many subordinates. If they were dispersed into ten cities, it would be a loose sand.

After the stability of the plain country, Liu Bei sent a letter to the teacher Lu Zhi.

Outside Guangzong City, a burst of hearty laughter came out from the military camp.

The general under his command was puzzled and stepped forward: "why does Beilang laugh?"

Lu Zhi, with a smile on his face, raised the letter in his hand: "Liu Ye in Qingzhou and Liu Bei in Youzhou, two soldiers in one place. Not long ago, Keding plain, more than ten thousand thieves in the first World War, were summoned to clear up the plain country."

"Liu Bei and Liu Ye? Are they not generals of the great victory of Qingzhou? "

"It's just that they were so good at fighting. They first broke Xu he and then killed Meng Bao."

"Haha, let's not grow up the ambition of others and destroy our own prestige. When Beilang breaks the city and kills the general rengong of the thief army, that will be a great achievement!"

The generals under his command talked endlessly, while Lu Zhi gave a smile.

"I want to send two Liu to help."

Lu Zhi's general was puzzled. Zheng Tong, a general under Lu Zhi's tent, saluted and clasped his fist: "general Lang, we have been besieged for a long time and can be broken in a short time. Why give the credit to two Liu? They won Qingzhou in the first battle and killed Meng Bao in the second battle. Is the credit great enough?"

Lu Zhi stroked his beard: "you don't know. Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were disciples of a certain school when they lectured and studied Classics."

When Zheng Tong returned to liezhong, the rest of the generals suddenly realized that Liu Bei was a disciple of Beilang general. No wonder he used military force like a God. When he invited him, he was his own. Since he was his own, his hostility disappeared.

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "generals, the moth thieves are in chaos now, but God bless the Han Dynasty, two Liu are born, and Qingzhou will be conquered. If the two Lius join hands with me, why should Jizhou not be swept away?"

Lu Zhi's remarks were leaked out in private. He was once a great scholar of Confucian classics. He was as famous as Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan. Therefore, he was called up as Shangshu by the imperial court. What's more, Lu Zhi was a scholar bureaucrat with both literature and martial arts. He was famous in the world. His high evaluation of Er Liu made them no matter whether they were scholars in the world Lin is still a folk, and his reputation has risen.

Why was Cao Cao famous in the world? It is not just relying on Xu Zijiang's comments on the moon, "the capable Minister of the son governing the world, and the hero in the troubled times". Liu Bei and Liu Ye were called the two Liu by Lu Zhi. They also had the war merits of conquering Qingzhou and the town of pacifying the original state. However, Gong Jing could not join in the victory of Qingzhou, but Gong Jing could not join in the battle.For a while, the reputation of the two Liu surged. Especially in the north and south of the Yellow River, they were synonymous with wisdom and martial arts. At that time, yuan shaowo was in Bohai county and raised tens of thousands of troops. As a result, the reputation of the fourth generation Sangong was supported by Jizhou gentry, which forced Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shu is the same. At that time, Liu Biao was appointed as Jingzhou herdsman, but in fact, he was in charge of a southern county, and the rest was basically decided by Yuan Shu, the fourth generation and the third Duke. Yuan Shu was also the legitimate son of the yuan family, and his status was higher than that of Yuan Shao. His sphere of influence included most of Jingzhou and the lesser half of Yuzhou. If Yuan Shu didn't want to provoke Cao Cao, he would not be sure who would pacify the Central Plains.

Now the rule of the Han Dynasty is relatively stable, and its reputation may not be much, but when the Han Dynasty loses its deer and the heroes are in dispute, the importance of reputation will be revealed. Sometimes this soft power is much more important than the hard power such as soldiers and horses.

It was at this time that Lu Zhi's letter arrived at the plain city.
