164 Silence
Dongjun, Yellow Turban Camp.
After fighting for a night, his mouth and tongue were dry. He drank the water in his bag and it was empty, but he still couldn't quench his thirst. Cao Cao didn't care much, so he took his helmet in his hand, scooped a helmet of clear water from the groove, and then he sucked it. He then killed his thirst.
"Report!" Liyang Camp, covered in blood, rushed over excitedly: "Catch Bu Ji, the commander of the Yellow Turban thirty-six sides, and the commander Zhang Bo and Liang Zhongning, captured more than 7,000 thieves of all sizes. This battle is a great victory!"
"The three commanders of the Yellow Turbans were captured alive?" Cao Cao was also happy.
“Yes.”
"Have you ever confessed to a fellow party?" Cao Cao asked again.
"There is no word." The captain said: "I'm humble... I found something in Bu Ji's tent. Please follow me."
"What?" Seeing that the lieutenant seemed to have a hidden secret, Cao Cao understood this. It must be a taboo thing. Could it be someone who was in the forbidden area?
"Lead the way forward." Cao Cao said this.
"Here!"
The captain led Cao Cao into the heavily guarded central army tent. He took out a brocade bag from the lacquered wooden box in front of the desk. He opened it and saw an official seal. A square nose button, a copper seal and a black ribbon. From the upper right, he read it: "Jidu Water Long".
Cao Cao suddenly woke up and couldn't help but feel numb: "Where did this thing come from?"
"Set it in the box." The captain bowed and replied.
"But others know about it." Cao Cao asked again in a deep voice.
"Only a few people who are inferior to know." The captain replied again.
"In this way, let's take Bu Ji and confront him." Cao Cao did not comment.
"Here!"
In a moment, Bu Ji, who was tied up with a blood-faced face, was taken to the tent.
When the soldiers retreated, Cao Cao asked, "Can you recognize this thing?"
The Liyang Camp School in the tent took the seal and ribbon to let Bu Ji see it.
Bu Ji smiled dismally: "Of course I can recognize it."
"Where did you get it?" Cao Cao asked again.
"It's my own." Bu Ji replied again.
"Rareless!" Cao Cao was furious: "The capital of Ji State is the chief of the capital, and his salary is 600 stones. How could you, a traitor, be able to scramble to the top!"
"Haha!" Bu Ji smiled and replied: "Many years ago, I was ordered to sneak into Ji Kingdom, thinking that I was an internal supporter. I was a traveler in the river bank, but later I was promoted to the chief of the capital because of my achievements in water control. Before King Ji returned to the country, his identity was discovered. The princess thought that he had a little success and let me go. This seal was worn with me and never took it back. Therefore, it was always hidden in the box."
After hearing this, Cao Cao's face was as deep as water.
The atmosphere in the tent is so strange, how could Bu Ji no longer know the depth: "Is the Duwei worried that I would bite King Ji?"
Seeing Cao Cao's face was gloomy, Bu Ji smiled bitterly: "I am deeply grateful to King Ji. If I had not joined the great wise and good teachers first, how could I bear the Lord's honor? The commander, please relax, Bu Ji is still dead."
Cao Cao nodded slightly: "In this way, I will use you and others to destroy everyone's mouths."
Bu Ji was stunned: "Does the captain want to kill and surrender?"
"Yes." Cao Cao grinned his teeth and said, "You know me today, the heaven knows the earth knows. There are also those who know about it, all of them are my life and death robes. Today, you will kill you and others. If you miss a few words in the future, it will be a mistake!"
"Come."
"exist!"
"Put the head of the Yellow Turban thief, and the seven thousand prisoners, all... kill!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists heavily.
"...now!"
If you kill all the bandits, if you can't block the crowd, then a few Li Yang lieutenants leaked the news. The goal is clear, how easy it is to silence them.
Several lieutenants showed awe. People at that time said that Cao Mengde and King Ji had a close relationship. A few days ago, when they saw him sending his women and children to Ji State, they didn't believe it. Today, they really believed it. In order to protect King Ji's reputation for his lifetime, Cao Mengde even killed 7,000 surrendered enemies.
The order was conveyed, and the crying in the camp was shocking. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled, bound into a string, how could they escape?
After the three-way drum, the soldiers looked at each other, and no one took action first. Seeing this, Cao Cao drew his sword in his hand and chopped several people. He took his head and turned around and glared.
The soldiers then swung their swords and rushed over, and arrows behind them were like rain. They surrounded them on all sides and killed all the prisoners in the camp.
Bu Ji and other commanders of Sanqu were tied up in all directions, and then they were beheaded by Cao Cao. They killed all the bandits, and Cao Mengde, who was covered in blood, turned around and entered the camp. He searched for the blacksmith in the army and melted the seal into copper water, but there was no evidence of his death.
Now there are only a few people who are familiar with the matter. There are 7,000 corpses with undried blood, and who dares to talk nonsense?
Besides, the personal evidence and physical evidence were destroyed by Cao Mengde. That is to say, who else would believe it?
He cut off his head and recorded his merits. He used the head of the Yellow Turban Sanqu Commander to make a box, and then burned the mountain of corpses piled up in the camp.
Reflecting the raging flames, Cao Mengde ordered the camp to be pulled back to Chenliu. In this battle, countless supplies, food and fodder were plundered, and his morale was like a rainbow.
There were tens of thousands of women and children in front, and thousands of surrendered bandits in the back.
One release and one kill. Cao Mengde clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs, and he will win the morale of Li Yang's army.
As troubled times approach, the man who licks blood from the knife, who doesn't want to follow the always-winning general who is decisive, resourceful, and has clear grudges.
In early May, Wuyuan County.
Ten thousand military vehicles were arranged in a long snake formation. They were swaying along the Qin straight road and whistled down. The Ji Kingdom was known as a country of ten thousand horses. There were countless cattle and horses. Even infantrymen were also chariots. There were many types of military vehicles. There were all kinds of logistics support.
The vast grasslands and desert are just right for the fleet to rush. They lie down at night and travel more than 300 miles a day. Nowadays, they are absolutely fast.
Vehicles on the road avoided each other. From a distance, they saw red deer horns, three-legged black and black, and flags like forests, covering the sky and the sun. So they realized that it was the army of Liu Bei, the king of Ji, the king of Ji, who was the "general of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions". They hurriedly knelt down on the side of the road to salute.
The length of the car array is amazing. After getting up, although his knees were swollen and painful, they were extremely excited.
With such a large army of Tiger Ben, why worry about the immortal rebels?
Qin straight road leads to Chang'an.
Just when Liu Bei led his troops to attack Chang'an.
It is Qiancheng, the Western Regions Protectorate.
Du Ji knelt in front of the hall. Li Ru, the right chief of the Western Regions Protectorate, announced the general's decree: "Promote the chief of Liu Zhongcheng, and also the head of the Marquis's Mansion Du Ji, as the chief of the general of the Western Regions Protectorate, as well as the head of the military officer of the King of Ji, as well as the head of the Ji Palace, with a rank of 2,000 stones and a 'silver seal and a green ribbon'."
"I, please thank me!" Du Jisu bowed.
"It was promoted to Wei Duan, the eldest son of Qiancheng, and was the youngest general of the Western Regions Protectorate, and also led the traveler of the Ji Palace. It has a rank of thousands of stones and a 'broken seal and a black ribbon'."
"I, please thank me!" Wei Duan also bowed.
When the two of them got up and entered the ranks, the right chief Li Ru smiled and said, "Now, your Majesty ordered the lord to go out to attack Guanxi. He also ordered the Western Regions Protectorate to lead the coalition forces of the 55 countries to enter the pass to fight the thieves. The time is too late, and the lord has personally led the army to Chang'an. When the 55 countries arrive, I will go to the left and the generals to go to war. At the east and west, the thieves can be destroyed every day. We are sent troops outside. The two contemporary guardians are responsible for handling matters of the various countries. The Western Regions are the Great Han vassal screen, and we hope to be cautious and will never lose any losses."
"The subordinate official obeys the order." The two saluted together.
When the lord was not here, the government affairs were presided over by two prefecture ministers. The empty lord seats were two seats under them. The two prefecture ministers each lived one of them. The officials of the Western Regions Protectorate Office were arranged in sequence.
Cheng Pu, the captain of Wu, then stood up and asked, "Let me ask the two ministers, the lord, who will be ordered to enter the pass?"
Li Ru smiled and replied: "The lord has never said it clearly."
"This..." The military officials whispered to each other and were eager to try.
