Chapter 318 Tanshi Pot of Syrup

In July 190, Liu Ye, the general of chariots and cavalry, stayed in Luoyang with his long history Xunyou to deal with military and political affairs.

On the bank of Luoshui, Liu Ye mobilized 30,000 troops, personally led the expedition, Zhang Jai, Pang De, Ma Chao, Xu Huang and other generals accompanied him, joined the army, Jia Xu was a military counselor, and swore to the Northern Expedition!

"General, there is nothing delicious at home, only these coarse grains, if you don't mind, please bring them with you, General and Master Wang."

"General, these are pancakes made by my mother herself. Please ask me to hand them over to Master Wang. Just take them."

Liu Ye's 30,000-strong army was stopped by the "100,000-strong army" before he had time to set off.

A Liangzhou soldier blocked the pancakes with his hand, and said helplessly, "Ma'am, the general has an order not to take anything from the common people, otherwise the military salary will be deducted. I really can't take it."

Over fifty years old, the gray-haired aunt looked embarrassed, and suddenly stuffed it into his arms secretly: "Eat quickly, it's still warm, just don't let the general see it."

"This..." Liangzhou soldiers looked embarrassed, should they eat or not?

"Eat, eat. Dong Zhuo took away all the food when he burned Luoyang. If the general hadn't traveled thousands of miles to transport food from Guanzhong, my aunt would have died long ago. Now it's just borrowing and repaying." Shrewd way.

"Hey ma'am, I'll eat!"

"Eat, eat quickly, eat more, there is still enough." The aunt watched him, seeing that he was eating deliciously, she couldn't help laughing, the kindness in her eyes seemed to be looking at her own son

Hearing that Liu Ye was going to lead the army to the north to attack Dong Zhuo's former subordinate Li Jue, Guo Si and others, the people around Luoyang City gathered spontaneously, forming a huge flow of people, and they kept bringing out dry food such as rice wine and pancakes, It was handed over to Liangzhou soldiers.

Many Liangzhou soldiers had knowing smiles on their faces while eating the pancakes handed over by the common people.

No wonder the general usually teaches us to be masters of the king. It turns out that as long as we are masters of the king, we don’t need to use knives to coerce the people, and they are willing to give out food. If we had known this, who would use knives?

In ancient times, in order to solve the problem of food and grass, it was very common for the army to plunder the people of the enemy's country. Even if they grabbed grass and beat rabbits to plunder the people of their own country, the court would turn a blind eye.

But Liu Ye didn't allow it.

Since the founding of the army, Liu Ye has provided delicious food and drink to the troops under his command, and even rewarded his subordinates with all the salaries issued by the imperial court, not for private property, to set an example.

There was once a Yellow Turban bandit under his command who plundered the people from good soldiers, but when Liu Ye saw it, he beat him with a hundred whips without saying a word. Since then, few soldiers dared to plunder the people.

"The general is really wise. As long as the soldiers protect the people, the people will naturally love the master and eat pots of milk to welcome them. In this way, is there any need to worry about the shortage of food and grass?" Jia Xu praised, but this time it was not It's flattering, but they admire Liu Ye's strict military management.

In fact, it was a fluke, the people in the Guanzhong region had been bullied by Dong Zhuo for a long time, and I am afraid that they would be grateful to change to any prince, but they met Liu Ye, who was considerate of the power of the people, and was in power. When Dong Zhuo plundered the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang, Liu Ye immediately dispatched food from Guanzhong to help the people, and thus easily won the hearts of the people around Luoyang.

Liu Ye looked at the scene where the army and the people were blending like water with emotion: "The people have a steelyard in their hearts, and they will treat whoever is good to them. Speaking of which, the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion harmed the world was also a great cause of the late emperor. responsibility."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Xu, Zhang Jaw and others were all taken aback, accusing the late emperor, Liu Ye's words were outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, there is some truth to them.

Zhang Liao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "What General Cheqi said is very reasonable. Although Marquis Wen is called a flying general, Hu Lu felt terrified when he saw it, but the name of flying general does not have much appeal in the hearts of the people of Bingzhou. force."

Before Zhang Liao returned to Bingzhou with Lu Bu, he was naturally quite excited to return to his hometown, and Lu Bu also killed Dong Zhuo, so how can it be regarded as eliminating harm for the people of Bingzhou?

Lu Bu also raised 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 10,000 county soldiers who accepted Bingzhou, they naturally needed food, so it was natural to ask for food from the people of Bingzhou, but the attitude of the people in Bingzhou was quite resistant, so that the food collection work progressed. Not good, and even made Lu Bu use force to intimidate

Looking at the people in the Luoyang area, Liu Ye didn't need to collect food, and they rushed to deliver food to the Liangzhou army one by one. Although Zhang Liao had heard of Liu Ye's reputation of being victorious in all battles before, he was not so in awe.

Ever victorious? We, Marquis Lu Wen, have never lost a battle, and the Hu people were terrified when they heard it, and swept the Central Plains with invincible hands.

But today, Zhang Liao suddenly admired Liu Ye a little bit. If he could fight under the command of such a lord of benevolence and righteousness, how happy would it be? It's a pity that Zhang Luan is also a loyal person, so he can't just betray Marquis Wen just like that.

"Soldiers, from among the people, naturally want to protect the interests of the people. Can those who rob the people still be called soldiers? That's called bandits!"

Liu Ye looked ahead and gave some ideological education to his generals: "Have you seen this? As long as our army follows the principles of benevolence and righteousness, and the people of the world return to their hearts, even the former Huns are no match. You must be careful." remember."

Liu Ye's so-called way of benevolence and righteousness is naturally not Song Xianggong's "half-crossing without attacking", but an upright avenue. Why can Liu Bei create a career after repeated defeats and battles in Romance of the Three Kingdoms? If Liu Bei had slaughtered the city in Xuzhou like Cao Cao, it would have been over long ago.

This time, the common people alone sent 10,000 shi of food and grass to the army, which was a great supplement to the army rations. After all, the population of Yongliang and Liangzhou is indeed sparse. , casually pulled up an army of 100,000, it is estimated that even if the Southern Huns go south now, they can only wait in Luoyang and cannot attack casually.

The people came in an endless stream, and they didn't gradually decrease until the evening, while Liu Ye led the army to the north for thirty miles, and then set up camp.

In the big tent of Liu Ye's army, the lights were brightly lit. Liu Ye stared at a map hanging in the tent, as if he was thinking about the strategy of deploying troops.

"General." Jia Xu walked gently into the tent, cupping his hands slightly.

"Wenhe, sit down."

After hearing Liu Ye's words, Jia Xu was not polite, and sat down on the ground. After a period of investigation, Liu Ye paid more attention to Jia Xu, did not hide anything, and often rewarded Jia Xu's family with certain affairs, so Jia Xu could be regarded as his heart for this big man emperor uncle.

"How to fight this battle, tell me."
