Chapter 80 In three sentences, I have compiled 6,000 elites

Not long after Chen Dao killed He Man, the Yellow Turban, whose mentality had completely collapsed, had no will to run away, and they knelt down and surrendered.

Liu Xie was also very happy. Surrendering by living people is of course more valuable than dead people. He quickly ordered his personal soldiers to send a message to Guan Yu and let him accept the surrender.

The battlefield was already very chaotic. Some Yellow Turbans wanted to surrender, while others wanted to run away. The Han army could not figure out whether to accept surrender. It always took time to pass the order from Liu Xie to Guan Yu, and then from Guan Yu to the soldiers below.

And in this short chaotic time, Li Tong and Chen Dao seemed to be crazy, killing these Yellow Turban bandits everywhere like tigers entering the flock of sheep, as if these Yellow Turbans had just killed their whole family, killing wildly.

Unfortunately, there were too many Yellow Turban Army supporting the elderly and young. Although they had already tried their best to kill and injure, they still failed to kill them all. In the end, about 5,000 people successfully surrendered, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army successfully fled.

After the results of the battle were counted, Liu Xie and his team killed nearly 2,000 enemies, captured 5,000 prisoners, seized countless food and supplies, but only a dozen casualties, most of whom sprained their ankles.

This battle was so smooth.

It even made Liu Xie feel a little moved, it turns out that fighting is nothing difficult?

If the Yellow Turbans were at this level, how could they harm the powerful man to what they are now?

"My minister, Li Tong, pay homage to the emperor."

"The grass man Chen arrived, pay homage to the emperor."

"Ah, General Li invites you, Chen Yishi, don't need to be polite, just get up and say reply."

"Thank you, the emperor."

"I see the two brave men on the battlefield just now. But why do you appear here?"

Li Tong saw sweat on his forehead, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I heard that the Yellow Turban thieves were besieging Xicheng. I was afraid that they would disturb Your Majesty, so I led the troops to support him. Unexpectedly, I was surrounded by these rebels halfway, but I was rescued by the emperor. I was ashamed."

Liu Xie was surprised when he heard this: "Well? Are there Yellow Turbans going to attack Xiping City? Why don't I know? How do you know?"

Li Tong was stunned when he heard this, and then he was sweating profusely.

After hearing this, Sima Yi, Guan Yu, Zhong Ji and others also cast suspicious and scrutinized eyes at him.

The battle today was strange. Judging from the combat effectiveness shown by Li Tong's army just now, let alone those mob Yellow Turban Army, even the Yulin Army, in terms of quality, they are probably far inferior to them. Li Tong is indeed of famous generals.

It was strange that he chose to stick to the camp and not leave.

It is obvious that they were surrounded by the Yellow Turbans after they left. As a result, they themselves didn't know that Li Tong's reinforcements had already set off, and it was so coincidental that they knocked down the enemy's encirclement?

Is this being besieged and beaten to help?

In fact, now that things have come to this point, a little smarter person has already guessed the cause and consequences. Next, it depends on what the emperor plans to do and what kind of political wisdom he has.

But when Liu Xie heard this, he frowned deeply and said, "I thought you were specially led by the troops to let me in the process of recruiting me because you heard that I was here."

When Li Tong heard this, a big stone in his heart finally landed on the ground. Then he quickly said that he was planning to hand over the troops in his hands to the emperor to command.

Then, the emperor let the Yulin Army take over the command of Li Tong's troops without hesitation, and withdrew all the middle and low-level officers of this army, and simply merged them into the Yulin Guard.

As for those retired officers and Li Tong himself, Liu Xie was very understanding and promoted them to the post. He promised to become the marquis of Li Tong after returning to Beijing, which was considered to be a three-level promotion in the title.

At the same time, after Li Tong entered Beijing, he would serve as the post of Zhongyong Captain. This position was newly established by him, similar to the original Changshui Captain or the Eight Captains of Xiyuan during the period of Emperor Ling. Although he was named as a captain, he was also a senior military position of 2,000 stone, and these grassroots officers were appointed as soldiers.

This is a full-time soldier, without military farming, and he also has a salary to be obtained. He is a lieutenant. His job is to protect the safety of the ministers and the palace. Therefore, although he was demoted from an officer to an ordinary soldier, he was actually promoted. Moreover, if there is a war in the future, he may not be dispersed like the Yulin Guard and serve as grassroots officers to command the troops.

When the two guards of the Yulin Hu Ben fought bravely to fight the enemy, Li Tong could be allowed to defend his safety. When Zhang Xiu came to Beijing to be the court lieutenant, it would be more convenient for him to reorganize the imperial guards.

Anyway, Li Tongzhongmian has no ability, so isn't it very appropriate to be a brigade commander of the security brigade responsible for watching the door for him? He went to the battle to kill the enemy and did such a thing, just handed over to capable people like Guan Yu and Li Dian.

This is called using people to use their strengths, playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. Humph, I really have a keen eye to recognize people and are good at using people.

After watching the whole process, Li Tong was bleeding in his heart. He felt that his heart was now full of fear. Every time he beats, he would pump blood out.

These are the family funds I have saved up over the past decade, and they are the capital that I can barely gain a foothold in this troubled world!

Liu Xie looked at Chen Dao again and said, "What's going on with this righteous man?"

Chen Dao was helpless and had to say, "Go back to the emperor, I was born in the Chen family in Runan. When I heard that the emperor came here, my elders in the family specially ordered me to raise some troops, money, grain, treasures and other things to be entrusted to the emperor. But who would have thought that I suddenly encountered bandits on the way and was bound to be held here. Fortunately, the emperor rescued him, so I did not commit myself to follow the thief. By the way, the money and food that I originally planned to offer to the emperor had been transferred to his old nest Li Township by the Yellow Turban bandit leader He Man, and it was not far from here. The grass people were willing to lead the emperor to pick it up."

Chen Dao knew that he could not escape, so he had to spend money to buy his life and asked the emperor to arrange the army he had in his hands.

No, the entire Runan Chen family is probably unable to escape the inclusion of the emperor.

From beginning to end, no one mentioned to Liu Xie that Li Tong should have a problem. After all, even ordinary soldiers may have seen such a simple matter. The emperor has a plot of ghosts and gods, so it is impossible not to see it.

To be honest, the emperor's way of handling is also excellent. Seizing military power is far more important than killing Li Tong. Besides, if you really want to force Li Tong to be too anxious, you may even kill whoever.

So Li Tong had more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the Chen family's soldiers and horses and the selected yellow turbans were nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses, totaling 6,000 soldiers and horses that could be called the elite, were inexplicably brought to Liu Xie's hands.

Even Guan Yu sighed: "The emperor only said three words, and a famous general and a local tyrant willingly sent 6,000 elite troops and a large number of supplies. The emperor is really a god."

As a brainless fan of Liu Xie, Zhong Ji thought that all this was within the expectations of the emperor. Do you think he was really taking the wrong path? No, that is keeping this action secret. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? This is called a plot of ghosts and gods. Do you understand you?

Guan Yu was skeptical about this statement, but Sima Yi felt that no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a blind cat had encountered a dead mouse.
