C68

"Lord Commander, the battle is over. We are spectators for a while. When did you arrange for us to charge? "

Seeing that the battle was over and not on the battlefield, Zheng Wei was unsatisfied with being the spectator. He glared at Yang Lin angrily. Yang Lin smiled and shook his head helplessly.

"Don't you know what a reserve team is? In any battle, there must be enough reserve troops to deal with any unexpected situations. If I let you be the reserve team, I have faith in you, so don't be arrogant. "

"What trust? You're not trusting me, are you? Are you afraid that we will embarrass you?" I'll tell you, we're not bad at all. "

"I know, I know, all of you are doing well. But how can I let a pretty girl like you charge in? If I get hit on the face by xanthopanax, wouldn't it hurt my heart to death? "

"Go, who wants your heart to ache?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's go take a look."

When the brothers went to fight, Yang Lin could only fight. Fighting with a little beauty was a huge pleasure in life. A few little girls covered their mouths and laughed, being glared at by Zheng Wei. Seeing that the battle was over, Yang Lin was very happy. If not for the thought of paying attention to his image, he really would have sung a few words of praise. He waved to Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao, and Wang Fan, who were standing beside him, and brought the three thousand odd cavalrymen towards the encirclement.

"Big brother, the battle is over."

Zhang Fei was the first one to run over while laughing, shouting loudly from far away. Following which, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also ran over, all of them smiling. Only Guan Yu galloped over in the end, looking somewhat depressed.

"Brother, why are you unhappy?"

Guan Yu suddenly raised her head, his beautiful phoenix eyes blinked a few times, and his face became even redder. His lips moved a little, and even his beard curled up a little, as if he couldn't say anything. Seeing that his brothers were looking at him, he shook his head, revealing an awkward smile.

"All the brothers have rendered meritorious service, but I haven't caught a single one of them."

The few brothers were stunned when they heard Guan Yu's words. Looking at Guan Yu's expression, they immediately understood and laughed out loud.

"Ha, ha, ha …"

Yang Lin also laughed along with the others. Guan Yu had always thought himself to be high and mighty, but today, he had been robbed by Zhang Fei.

"Second Brother, you're overthinking it." Today, our brothers are very outstanding and have accurately completed our pre-planned combat objectives. What is meritorious service? Completing the mission on time is a great achievement. Furthermore, we are all brothers, it is our pride that whoever meritorious deeds were us brothers. "

Guan Yu nodded then, using his hands to support his beard, he smiled.

Just then, Zhao Yun, Cang Ba and the rest brought Sun Guan and the other generals of the yellow cloth army captive over. Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Xi … the four General of the Yellow Scarf Army s came to the front of Yang Lin's horse, clasped their hands together and kneeled on the ground, as they respectfully kowtowed three times.

Right now, they were sincerely submitting to him. With just thirty thousand cavalry, he actually captured one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. What else could he say? Furthermore, they heard that the commander of the cavalry of Youzhou had repeatedly told them to not hurt them during battles, which had shocked them. With such a messy situation, how many people cared about the lives of others? The so-called 'First General succeeds to the death of ten thousand bones'. Wasn't the backer of that famous general a pile of white bones? Such a benevolent and righteous Commander was truly a rare sight in this world. If they didn't join him, who else could they join?

After waiting for them to finish kowtowing, Yang Lin dismounted from his horse, walked over and helped them up. Looking at the four burly men, he smiled and glanced at everyone before nodding in satisfaction.

"From now on, we are good brothers. This time, we have captured more than five thousand horses. You two follow Zhao Yun and Cang Ba, the two generals, and select more than three thousand elite soldiers. According to the standard of over one thousand and five hundred people in thousand-man unit, we will assemble two thousand-man unit s, Sun Guanwudun and Yin Li, to follow us in war. "

"Understood."

Yang Lin laughed, and waved his hand at them, and let Zhao Yun and Cang Ba lead them to look after the captives, then followed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Xu Zhu, Xu Zhu, Wen Chou and the rest towards the large carriage.

"Lord Commander, come take a look."

Wang Gang and Wang Po were currently in the middle of sweeping the battlefield with their subordinates, the riders and fresh slave s. When they saw the boxes of gold and silver and treasures on the carriage, they couldn't help but stare blankly. Wang Po held up a handful of jewelry with both hands and shouted loudly.

It was no wonder that Wang Po was so excited. gold and silver and jewelry like them had more than 100 carriages. Who would have seen so many gold and silver and treasures? Before the xanthopanax attacked the impending disaster, he had already taken down several cities. Every time he took down a county city, Sun Guan would loot them all, even the officials would rob them and the rich families would rob them. No matter whether it was gold and silver, treasures, food, cloth or even cattle, they would all rob more than 20,000 of them.

"This Sun Guan, he really is a manager. No wonder he wasn't willing to throw it away. If they take these things to Mt. Tai, they'll be happy for the rest of their lives. "

Yang Lin laughed and shook his head, the brothers beside him also laughed. It seems that these xanthopanax are really a family. No matter if it was Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, or Sun Guan, the first thing that they did when they occupied the County City was robbing, Sun Guan was even more powerful than that, robbing even more.

Thinking about it, Yang Lin suddenly felt that he should hurry to the club. The Ying Chuan was currently the richest place in the entire Ying Chuan. Bo had only been there for such a long time, how much gold and silver, treasure, cloth, and food should she have stolen? They definitely could not let them fall into the hands of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Waving his hands to gather his brothers, Yang Lin told them his thoughts.

"Brothers, General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun have been besieged by Bo Cai at the club. We can't stay here any longer. We should go to the rescue club immediately. The two brothers, Zhao Yun, Cang Ba, you bring along a thousand-man unit cavalry as well as the twenty thousand plus Qingzhou officers and soldiers s you have brought over right now, take these hundred and fifty thousand yellow cloth army captive s, their belongings, fodder, fodder, cattle, and horses to the Leroy County, and after giving them to Zheng Ping and the other two, come to the guild and find us. Remember, if those twenty thousand Qingzhou officers and soldiers s can't return it to Gong Jing, they will be kept in the Leroy County. "

"Understood."

Zhao Yun and Cang Ba agreed and immediately began working on it.

Just then, the messenger from the Gongjing of Qingzhou Thorn came to the camp, saying that in order to thank the Youzhou's troops, he had invited Yang Lin and the other generals to enter the city. Right now, they were slaughtering pigs and sheep, so they were about to come to the army.

"Thank you Lord Thorn for your kind intentions. Please inform Lord Thorn that the Council is trapped, the military emergency is upon us, we do not dare to stay, and are about to set off. They also asked the Lord Thorn to bring the food and supplies for the captives, and the captives to set off as well. If Lord Thorn really wants to express his gratitude, then bring us the things that you have given us. "

After the messenger heard Yang Lin say that, he immediately bowed towards him and ran back to report to Gong Jing.

Zhao Yun and Cang Ba quickly picked over three thousand captives, all of them were strong and sturdy, their heads were big, all of them were chosen according to their own standards, and most of them were the personal guards of Sun Guan and the other high-ranking officers, or some other xanthopanax officials with a thousand captains or centurions. They were created into two thousand-man unit s, and after they were selected, they invited Yang Lin to lecture them.

"Brothers, let's join the allied army. We are brothers, we are one family. No matter why you took part in the rebellion, I will tell you that there is no way out. There is only death, and even if you die, you will be scolded as a bandit, and your children and grandchildren will not be able to raise their heads. Now that you have joined the Youzhou Army, you are like soldiers of the imperial court. Are you willing to participate in the Youzhou Army? "

Who wouldn't want to be a decent person? In truth, these yellow scarfed soldiers did not have any lofty ideals or ambitions. They were just trying to get a living. They did not even know who Zhang Jiao was, and their leader, Sun Guan, had also joined their ranks. What else did they have to hesitate for?

"Yes."

The three thousand over people were shouting, they had personally witnessed the might of the Youzhou Army's cavalry, and were very excited to be one of them. Just now, tens of thousands of people had signed up and only three thousand had been selected. These people were the proud ones.

In the afternoon, Lord Thorn Gong Jing came to the cavalry of Youzhou's camp. Behind him, the Qingzhou's Scholars, Wealthy Classes and Squire followed. There were all kinds of gifts from the labourers, including gold and silver s and treasures, as well as whole pieces of pork and mutton. There were also provisions, cloths, and wine from large altars.

"Lord Commander is truly a genius, he calmed Qingzhou Yellow Scarf down in just a few days. This Official had already made his way to the imperial government, so he was asking for meritorious service. Now that he had an army like the Lord Commander, how could he not destroy it? Lord Commander will become a pillar of the imperial government in the future. This is a bit of goodwill from This Official, Qingzhou and the Squire, I hope that Lord Commander will accept it. "

Yang Lin smiled, thinking that this Gongjing of Qingzhou Thorn knew how to show gratitude. Since I helped you with such a big favor, you should repay me with a few things, that's why I accepted it. As for me bringing you along in the future, that will have to wait until I become a government official and become a pillar of the imperial court.

"Hehe, then I won't be polite, brothers fighting desperately and sacrificing their lives, this is the reward. In this place, I shall thank the Lord Thorn and the various countryside gentry on behalf of my brothers. "

Gong Jing smiled at Yang Lin and then waved his hand towards the few bailiffs who lifted up a big jar of wine. On the jar, two big words were written on red paper: "Qingzhou's Wine". The two of them carried it and lifted the lid. Gong Jing took the wine bowls, and the two bailiffs poured a bowl full of wine.

"Lord Commander, this old man, on behalf of all the officials and citizens of the Qingzhou, would like to offer you a bowl of wine as a thank you for coming all this way to save the Qingzhou."

Right now, the atmosphere had turned serious. Over thirty thousand cavalrymen and over a hundred thousand captives had stopped talking, and the entire wilderness had become abnormally quiet. Even the gentry, Scholars s, Wealthy Classes and many citizens who came to comfort the cavalrymen were staring fixedly at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin was also affected by this solemn atmosphere, his face became gloomy, he accepted the wine bowls offered by Lord Thorn, and suddenly, the brothers who had sacrificed themselves in the battle against mounted bandit, the brothers who sacrificed themselves in the battle to reclaim Qingzhou, appeared in front of him.

He suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart. He had changed the trajectory of their lives, changed their lives' fate. If he hadn't appeared, would they have been able to live a better life? He lifted the bowl of wine high above his head and turned to face the far north, his voice choking.

"My dear brothers, for the peace of the The people of the world, you all have unhesitatingly participated in the Youzhou Army. In order to pacify the Yellow Mask from causing trouble, you all have sacrificed your lives. Here, let me offer you a bowl of wine.

After Yang Lin finished speaking, a sudden sorrow swept through his heart, and he immediately lowered his head, in a hurry to cover up the tears that had welled up in his eyes. He sprinkled a full bowl of wine on the floor and didn't look up for a long time. When he calmed down, he slowly raised his head.

All the cavalry of Youzhou s quietly stood by the side of the horses. Their expressions were extremely solemn and they tightly held onto the blade in their hands, their eyes staring straight ahead. Suddenly, a few soft cries could be heard coming from the cavalry unit. The cries drifted through the fields with the gentle breeze.

"Lord Commander is truly a benevolent and righteous person. He truly loves soldiers and soldiers so much. Come, come, come, this old man will give you another bowl. "

Unexpectedly, even Gong Jing was moved by Yang Lin's speech. Perhaps it was due to the influence of this atmosphere, he received the bowl of wine with a solemn expression. Not only did he praise Yang Lin a little, he also filled a bowl full of wine for Yang Lin.

Yang Lin held the alcohol in his hand and felt that Gong Jing was truly a good official and a noble and good person. He bowed deeply towards Gong Jing, then raised his wine bowl high up in the air.

"Lord Thorn, I have to thank you for this bowl of wine. When the Qingzhou was in danger, the Lord Thorn did not run away. Instead, he stood up to protect the citizens of the Qingzhou, to ask for their help. It was the good fortune of the citizens of the Qingzhou to have such a good official. I sincerely offer a bowl to Lord Thorn. "

"Heh heh, how embarrassing."

In that moment, Gong Jing felt extremely awkward. He really did not expect Yang Lin to give him a bowl of wine, so he immediately extended his hands and took it. He turned around and greeted everyone, then raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one go.

Gong Jing laughed, then handed the wine bowls over to the two yamen runners, and waited for them to pour him another bowl of wine. Carrying the wine with both hands, Gong Jing walked in front of Yang Lin, and handed it over to him once more.

"Lord Commander, you should respect the Emperor."

Your majesty? A faint smile appeared on Yang Lin's face. If it were not for him messing around with the government, aiding the evil, pampering the eunuchs, killing the officials, killing the loyal, causing the officials to corrupt and the refugees to be everywhere, the people would not live here. Would the xanthopanax have had a chance to rebel?

Yang Lin accepted the alcohol, and looked at the officials of the Qingzhou, the nobles, and the rich and powerful, but in his heart he was thinking about the commoners behind them. As a modern man, he was brought up to have a deep sense of kinship with the toiling masses of the world.

"I want to offer this bowl of wine to the citizens of the Youzhou. It was they who provided their own children to become warriors of the Youzhou Army, it was they who provided their own food to feed the Youzhou Army, it was they who gave their all for us in the dark."

Perhaps, this was a chance for him to display his flag and make everyone remember him. Yang Lin raised his wine up high and spoke loudly to the thirty thousand plus Youzhou Army and tens of thousands of other yellow cloth army captive.

"The reason why we brothers started the army is to pacify the bandits and settle the civilians. The peace and quiet of the The people of the world is a responsibility that we brothers are duty-bound to take responsibility for. "Whoever endangers the peace of the people, we will destroy him."

The wine bowl in Yang Lin's hands tilted slightly, the clear and mellow wine slowly soaked into the ground, and the aroma of wine rose from the ground, filling the air with the fragrance of the wine.

"Lord Commander, I heard that you are going to Ying Chuan. I have something that I need to trouble you with.

The cavalry of Youzhou's team was about to set off, when Gong Jing suddenly pulled Yang Lin to the side and whispered into his ear.

Oh, does Lord Thorn have any other orders?

"It's like this. After Lunan tai. As the Lunan was very powerful, my wife and brother placed their two daughters at my brother Gong Xing's Villa in the Qingzhou. Today, my two nieces are so anxious that they often wash their faces with tears. My wife is extremely distressed. Youzhou Army is not far from Lunan at this time. Can Lord Commander bring his two nieces to Lunan and hand them over to their father? "

"Sure, no problem."

When Gong Jing said this, Yang Lin remembered that the two girls he met that day in Gong Xing's backyard, were most likely the daughters of the The King of Rennan. It was a good trip to the Ying Chuan, it was convenient to bring them along, so he agreed without hesitation.
