Chapter 163 Qingzhou
On August 29, after Liu Xin and his party wiped out the Yellow Turban Army in Hejian County, they drove all the Yellow Turban rebels through Bohai County and Leling County. When they arrived at the border of Qingzhou, everyone stopped to rest.
There was not much food for the prisoners to eat, so Kujing could only kill the Yellow Turbans as much as possible and then drive them eastward. Qingzhou did not have a big family and was relatively far from the core of the Central Plains. It was a helpless move to bring the Yellow Turbans into Qingzhou.
Liu Xin is in this big tent. He has been at the forefront of the battle these days. With Ku Jing in charge of food and fodder, he just concentrates on improving his own force and training his soldiers.
Liu Xin now has 820 people, more than 200 of whom he used [Breakthrough Card] to find those who were in the bottleneck period. This clearing mission has been completed. In the past month, they have wiped out the Yellow Turban Army in the three counties in northern Jizhou.
, it’s time to go home.
Zhou Tai and others were still telling Liu Xin that they could catch up with the autumn harvest and harvest beets and sweet potatoes when they returned home, but a new order made them suddenly frown.
"Do you want to enter Qingzhou? Liu Yu doesn't know how many Yellow Turbans there are in Qingzhou? We don't have five thousand elites, but we still have to go to Qingzhou to suppress the Yellow Turbans?" Guan Hai was already on the verge of breaking through the first-class military generals. He heard the crepe
Jing couldn't help but shout out the order sent by him.
"We have experienced dozens of battles this month. The imperial court saw that Liu Yu was very strong, so they gave him extra work! But Liu Yu can only continue to add extra work to us." Wei Qin came to Liu Xin's side.
road.
"Lord, what should we do now?" Zhou Tai came to Liu Xin and asked.
Now everyone is eager to return home. In a few days it will be the autumn harvest, sugar beets can be made into sugar again, and sweet potatoes will be ripe. No one wants to go to Qingzhou.
"On the battlefield, everything is not up to us! With Wang Hui at home, Zhou Wenbin should not have any trouble. We have wiped out the Yellow Turbans in the three counties in northern Hebei, and there should be no more Yellow Turbans in Zhuo County.
If we leave halfway, not to mention losing our military merits this month, we may be labeled as deserters by the government, and it will be even more difficult at that time!" Liu Xin said slowly.
Everyone who originally thought that driving all the Yellow Turban rebels out of Jizhou would be the end of the world has now repented. Now that they have entered the military camp, many things are beyond their ability to consider unless they themselves can control the military power.
On August 30th, Kuijing led 5,000 Youzhou elite troops into the Jinan Kingdom of Qingzhou. Jinan Kingdom, including Jinan City, was all the Yellow Turban ruled area. However, it was said that Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army’s headquarters was located, and even Linzi of Qi State was located.
The city does not dare to send troops now, and can only watch the Yellow Turbans in Jinan becoming more and more powerful.
Entering the Kingdom of Jinan, Liu Xin saw that many of the fields here had been abandoned, and the villages he encountered on the road were all deserted. The people either starved to death or followed the Yellow Turban Army.
On September 1st, Kuijing led the army to capture Licheng. Then, without waiting for the Yellow Turban Army's reaction, he marched to Dongpingling within one day, easily broke through the city and captured more than 20,000 prisoners, but all the food, grass and property were missing.
Not much left.
Leaving a thousand auxiliary soldiers to look after the prisoners, Fu Jing continued eastward. On September 4, they experienced numerous harassments by the Yellow Turban Army and finally arrived outside Jinan City.
Jinan City is a large city with a population of more than 50,000. Now it is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army. The entire Jinan Kingdom's rebellious people plus those fleeing famine from Qingzhou counties mean that the population of Jinan City area exceeds 200,000.
Kujing only had 5,000 elite troops, and they made an appointment with the enemy in the west of Jinan City. The Yellow Turban Army responded.
The decisive battle between the two sides took place on September 7. Kujing asked Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhou Tai to lead the front army, and the 5,000-strong army rushed into the middle army of the Yellow Turbans.
Guan Yu and three others killed more than ten Yellow Turban generals in a row, and finally killed the enemy army, cut off the flag of the enemy commander, and killed the enemy Commander Liang. After that, the Yellow Turban army was defeated.
Fu Jing led the army to kill Jinan City, but most of the people in the city had fled. They captured more than 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and stationed them in Jinan City. A new problem arose.
Originally, the food they brought was enough for two months, but when they entered Jinan City, there was not much food. Now that the autumn harvest season had just arrived, the people's food was still in the fields, so Fu Jing ordered to rest in Jinan City first and wait for Liu.
Yu's new order.
In order to reduce the pressure on the city's defenders, Kuijing ordered all armies to recruit as many Yellow Turban elites as possible into their own armies, so that the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army in the city could be managed more easily.
But all this is only temporary. Everyone knows that the key lies in this autumn harvest. The wheat outside Jinan City will be harvested in two days. It depends on whether the wheat can be harvested by our side in the end.
If the grain cannot be harvested, Kuijing and the 60,000 prisoners will be a big bomb. They will have only one way to escape back to Jizhou.
If they can grab food, they can use it to subdue more Yellow Turban rebels. Only in this way can the entire Jinan Kingdom be recovered by them.
Liu Xin came to the prisoner camp and saw the prisoners with their heads lowered and no hope in their eyes. He looked at Wei Qin beside him, and Wei Qin led several soldiers forward.
"You all listen carefully. Whoever is confident of defeating these soldiers should come out and line up. My lord wants to recruit some auxiliary soldiers!" As soon as Wei Qin finished speaking, many people became confused. Who is willing to follow the Yellow Turban Army all day long?
Life is not guaranteed, and besides, they are still prisoners, and they don’t know how many days they can survive.
Wei Qin first led people to calm down the prisoners, and then several domestic soldiers whose strength had just passed 31 points began to perform in front of them. Some truly capable prisoners raised their hands and were gathered on the streets of Jinan City.
After a long time, Wei Qin came to Liu Xin: "Lord, there are too many people. We have selected and eliminated more than half of them, but there are still more than 3,000 people outside."
Liu Xin nodded. It was normal for the sixty thousand Yellow Turbans to have three thousand elites. When he came to the street, he saw that all the prisoners were standing in a row.
"Remember the people I am referring to later, they are the ones I selected." Liu Xin said to the general behind him.
Taking out the [Investigation Card], Liu Xin also had another [Investigation Card] that was useless. It was already the autumn harvest time, and there was no shortage of food at home. He took the opportunity to choose another group of nursing staff. Liu Xin only needed to choose a thousand more nursing staff.
If he is a court-level servant, then his strength in the entire Zhuoxian County will definitely increase greatly. He wants to start planting corn next year, so it will not be difficult to keep the secret.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Xin also realized through this troubled times that food is the basis for survival in this world. What he can do is limited if you give Liu Xin 1 billion, but give him 1 million
Shi Liang, he can capture the entire Yannan in two years.
Opening the [Investigation Card], the attributes of the prisoner in front of him instantly appeared in front of him. He saw that the opponent's force was 53 points and his loyalty was 17 points. Liu Xin pointed at him and looked at the next one. This time he found the prisoner selected by Wei Qin.
The strengths are very good.
After ten minutes, Liu Xin's more than 3,000 soldiers had worked hard to check their attributes, and not many of them were left. The longer the time went by, the lower the power of the prisoners, but this time he gained a lot.
There are 37 prisoners with a force between 40 and 59 points, and 1,416 prisoners with a force between 30 and 39. In other words, he has selected 1,483 people today. Adding his current 845 people, Liu Xin now has 2,328 people.
.
Both Jingjing and Liu Bei talked to Liu Xin and asked him not to go too far in recruiting prisoners. If you accidentally attack these prisoners from behind at a critical moment, Liu Xin and his family may not know how they died.
However, after several battles, the prisoners Liu Xin selected played a great role on the battlefield. Liu Bei even planned to let Liu Xin select some prisoners of war for them to supplement their recruits, but in the end he was stopped by Fu Jing.
Liu Xin himself also understood that he was different from Liu Bei. Liu Bei had paid so much and still used the banner of royal family to join Liu Yu's lineup.
But Liu Xin will not learn from Liu Bei. He has a golden finger and has knowledge in his mind that transcends this world for thousands of years. Even if there is no chance, he will create opportunities for himself. With so many prisoners of war, Liu Xin does not plan to ask for any rewards.
