Chapter 491

"Our army defeated all the troops of Zhang Xun's headquarters, killed and wounded 8000 enemy troops, captured more than 20000 people, and escaped thousands of others. This is a real victory!"

Liu Ye said happily: "the army of Zhang Xun is the main force of Yuan Shu. If Zhang Xun is solved, Huainan is no longer a problem." Liu Ye clenches his fist, and his face reveals his will to win expression.

Zhang Fei said impatiently, "what are you waiting for? The only way to send troops is to take Shouchun. The child of Yuan Shu is arrogant and presumptuous to call himself Emperor. If Yu Qing can trust me, I am willing to lead the army to the vanguard. "

Originally, Liu Bei was appointed governor of Yuzhou, which can be regarded as a base area. Originally, he thought he could live a safe life. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu did not know good or bad, and repeatedly invaded Yuzhou. Zhang Fei is a hot temper. How can he swallow this breath? He immediately went out to ask for instructions.

"Yide! The general has his own opinion. Why are you in a hurry? " Liu Bei, however, frowned and exclaimed.

"Ha ha, brother Yide, don't worry." Liu Ye said with a smile: "Yuan Shu did not regard himself as an official, but arbitrarily called himself Emperor. He must be severely punished. However, after Zhang Xun attacked Yuzhou for more than a month, he still had some things to deal with. He should be calm and not be impatient."

"OK, but jade..." after a look at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei had to change his words and say, "if the general sends troops to attack Shouchun, please send me to be the vanguard." Zhang Fei retreated.

After calming Zhang Fei, Liu Ye says, "Wenhe."

"So and so." Jia Xu came out to answer the call.

Liu Ye ordered: "you go to investigate more than 20000 soldiers of Yuan's army. After registering their native place, tell them that as long as our army destroys Yuan Shu, the puppet emperor, they can be released back."

Although more than 20000 prisoners were collected and released back, the support of the people in Huainan could be greatly bought off. However, these 20000 people were young and middle-aged people. Once all of them were released, it was hard to guarantee that Yuan Shu would not force them into the army again, which would be a problem.

In response to his promise, Jia Xu suddenly said with a smile: "it is better for the general to choose a small part of the soldiers among the more than 20000 soldiers according to their native place, and send them the travel expenses and rice for their return home. In this way, they will be very grateful and will naturally take the initiative to publicize for our army. In this way, it will be easier for our army to invade Huainan."

Liu Ye smiles: "Wenhe is a good idea. Since you put forward this proposal, how about you do it yourself?"

"To serve the general."

Liu Ye nodded and said to Liu Ye, "Ziyang, you have always been famous in Huainan. Yuan Shu's perverse actions must have caused dissatisfaction among many people in Huainan. How about contacting Huainan aristocrats to fight against Yuan Shu

Liu Ye arched his hand: "obey the order of the general."

Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "in this case, our army will rest for two days, so that the news of Zhang Xun Jun's total annihilation can be transmitted to Shouchun, and it will be easy to attack Shouchun at that time."

So, after the destruction of Zhang Xun's army, Liu Ye did not immediately attack Shouchun, but ordered the whole army to rest for a while. At this time, the news of Zhang Xun's defeat spread quickly to Shouchun.

In a farmhouse in Jiujiang County, an old woman with white hair is stirring the food in the pot with a wooden spoon.

"Mother

Hearing the familiar voice, the old woman suddenly froze, and the wooden spoon in her hand fell into the pot. She turned around, tears in her eyes: "saner, is that you?"

"Mother, it's a child!"

I saw a ragged man also moved the truth, eyes red, directly rushed out, a hug the old woman. When mother and son met, they burst into tears.

The sound of crying was earth shaking. The neighbors in the farmhouses around him were curious. They also came out to watch. When they saw the mother and son crying bitterly, they suddenly felt a burst of surprise.

"Isn't that the little three son?"

"Yes, he was captured by those soldiers. How did he come back?"

"Didn't you come back without permission..."

the old woman also heard the discussion and immediately stopped crying, hugged her child's head and asked carefully, "child, did you escape? Tell your mother the truth, if it is, don't come back and run! They came back to get you. "

Xiaosanzi shook his head and choked: "Niang, I didn't escape back, but was released by the general?"

"General?" A rickety old man with crutches came over and said, "is it not general Zhang Xun?" "Country old man!" Seeing the venerable villagers coming to the village, the villagers gathered in the neighborhood saluted one after another. The senior citizens in the village were highly respected and knowledgeable, so the villagers were quite respectful.

Although the rural elder was not a high official, he was a grass-roots official after all. Therefore, he knew a little about Yuan Shu who occupied Huainan as emperor and enfeoffment of his generals.

"No Seeing the old man's third son standing up respectfully, Wen Sheng said, "it's General Liu appointed by the court."

"General Liu?" "How did general Liu put you?" he askedXiaosanzi then explained how he was defeated by Liu Ye in Zhang Xun's army, and then released his news before and after.

"General Liu's army is like a God, and what's more, he loves the people like a son." Xiaosanzi said gratefully: "General Liu also said that when Shouchun is pacified, he will release all the captured people together, so that everyone can plant the land in peace of mind."

Hearing this, people around him immediately praised Liu Ye, especially the old farmer who also had a son in Yuan Shu's army.

"That's great. Since xiaosanzi is back, my tiger will be able to come back."

"With God's blessing, General Liu led the king's division from afar, and Huainan was under the rule of the imperial court again."

The villagers were talking and cheering, while the villagers were tapping the ground with a crutch and coughing a few times. The crowd was suddenly quiet.

"Listen to me." Looking around the eyes of the people around him, the old man said in a calm tone: "don't let out the news of the third son's return, otherwise, we may not be able to catch these soldiers at that time. Are you all clear?"

"Don't worry, we promise not to mention a word."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then went to the old woman: "saner his mother, Xiao San lives in my house these days. What do you think?"

"Well, please take care of the old people." The old woman nodded quickly.

"Ha ha, come with me, junior." The old man's muddy eyes revealed a shrewd sense of familiarity and accident. In addition to protection, he also wanted to know something from the mouth of the little son.
