Chapter 387 Conquering the Jujube

The yellow turban thieves saw that the officers and soldiers were not as Xu He said, killing the yellow turban thieves indiscriminately, so more and more surrendered.

"The survivors will not be killed!"

Nearly ten thousand Xiliang iron cavalry galloped left and right with sabers in their hands, shouting in all directions among the Yellow Turban bandits, so more and more Yellow Turban bandits fell to their knees one after another.

"General, here is an aide of the enemy army who said he has something important to report to you."

Pound rushed over from behind Liu Ye, and there was a scribe on horseback.

Liu Ye nodded: "What do you have to report?"

The scribe bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "You are Liu Cheqi, right? My lord, Wang He, I was ashamed of being a thief in the past."

Liu Ye snorted: "A dignified scholar, but submits to a thief. It turns out that the master also knows that it is extremely ashamed to be a thief."

Since ancient times, when thieves revolted, some scholars in the court stood firm, and naturally some surrendered, so Liu Ye was quite disdainful of Wang He.

Wang He's head lowered: "The next family is in the hands of the thieves, and I dare not surrender, but He wished to commit crimes and make meritorious service, and he would kill himself afterward. I only hope that Liu Cheqi can take care of the next family."

Liu Ye frowned: "Tell me, why do you deserve crimes and meritorious deeds?"

Wang He respectfully said: "There are still thousands of Yellow Turban thieves in Suanzao City, if General Meng does not give up, please borrow Sima Fear's head for a while, I am willing to say that the Yellow Turban thieves in Suanzao City donate the city."

Liu Ye frowned and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, indicating that it was possible.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll give you a chance. You don't need to cut your neck and kill yourself. As long as you say that the yellow scarf thieves in Suanzao City sacrificed the city, your life will be spared."

Wang He cupped his hands: "Thank you, General."

Liu Ye said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you lead three hundred riders to escort Wang He, and ask him to persuade the yellow scarf bandits in Suanzao City to surrender."

"promise!"

Pang De led 300 Xiliang iron cavalry to escort Wang He, and after galloping for a while, they arrived at the city of Suanzao.

On the head of Suanzao City, Sima Shuai's flag was still fluttering. Wang He glanced at the head of Sima's fearful death in Pound's hand, and couldn't help sighing, lamenting that things are different.

But Wang He quickly adjusted his mentality, and shouted at the top of the wall: "Is Zhou Shen and Zhou Shuai here?"

A head wrapped in a yellow scarf protruded from the top of the city, and when he saw Wang He, he was taken aback: "Mr. Wang, why are you back?"

Wang He smiled wryly, and shouted: "Shuai Zhou, did you see the scuffle at the top of the city just now?"

Zhou Shen nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Wang He, didn't you come to persuade him to surrender?" Zhou Shen's face darkened when he thought of this event, and he called him by his name.

Wang He smiled, turned around and said, "General Pang, please show Zhou Shen the head of Sima Shuai, no, Sima's traitor."

Pang De nodded expressionlessly, lifted Sima Fear's head, and shouted loudly, like a bolt from the blue.

"The yellow turban thieves on the top of the city are watching. The head of Sima fear is here. I advise you not to make mistakes!"

"It's really Sima Shuai's head!"

"It's over, it's over, the 50,000 army was destroyed, what are our thousands of people worth?"

"Shuai Zhou, otherwise."

Hearing the persuasion from the surrounding soldiers, Zhou Shen's face darkened.

In fact, Zhou Shen wanted to surrender a long time ago, but he just couldn't bear to lose face and was hesitant.

Seeing this, Wang He immediately shouted: "Shuai Zhou, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Sima Shuai's 50,000 troops were wiped out with one blow, and Liu Cheqi's soldiers were invincible in the sea. Did Zhou Shuai think that these thousands of people in Suanzao City Is it better at fighting than Sima Shuai's fifty thousand army?"

"Zhou Shuai, let me advise you. Liu Cheqi has already issued an order. As long as the thieves are willing to surrender, they will not be blamed. Tens of thousands of brothers in the army have already surrendered. Liu Cheqi is magnanimous. If he breaks the city, he will be killed by then." No chickens or dogs left!"

Hearing Wang He's powerful medicine, Zhou Shen's heart was shaken immediately, while the surrounding yellow turban soldiers kept talking to persuade Zhou Shen.

"Shuai Zhou, shall we surrender?"

"That's right, this Liu Cheqi is a god of killing, but he keeps his word. If the brothers surrender now, it's a good thing that they still have one life. If they wait until the Han army breaks through the city"

Zhou Shen looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, the knife in his hand fell to the top of the city, waved his hands helplessly and said: "Open the city gate, surrender."

"Open the city gate!"

The yellow turban thieves in the city immediately raised the Qianjin gate, and the city gate opened slowly. Pang De sent someone to inform Liu Ye, and then he personally led the troops into Suanzao City to clear the way for Liu Ye.

Wang He, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, picked up a ring-shouldered knife from the ground and wiped it directly on his neck. Before Pang De could stop it, he just sighed.

"Collect his body and bury it later."

Soon after, Liu Ye led 3,000 soldiers into the camp, and the remaining 20,000 Han troops temporarily camped outside the city and were responsible for guarding the Yellow Turban soldiers.

night.

"Wenhe, have you ever calculated the number of casualties today?" Liu Ye sat on the main seat and asked Jia Xu who was beside him.

There are several pieces of silk paper next to Jia Xu, and he is writing and calculating with a brush in his hand, and he raised his head after a long time.

"General, the number of casualties has been calculated."

Jia Xu put down the brush and said: "Today, our army has about 2,000 casualties, and they have been sent back to Guanzhong for recuperation. At present, there are still more than 8,000 Xiliang cavalry and 15,000 infantry. Twenty-four thousand people up and down."

Liu Ye nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Where's the Yellow Turban Bandit?"

"The total number of yellow turban bandits was 52,000, of whom more than 11,000 were beheaded on the spot, more than 7,000 fled, and the remaining 34,000 were captured."

Liu Ye nodded: "Very well, these 34,000 people are strong men, whether they will be used as soldiers or plowing fields in the future, they will be good hands."

"The only thing to worry about is that although the more than 30,000 captives of the yellow scarves are strong men, most of their family members are among the enemy's army, so I'm afraid they won't return." Jia Xu frowned: "Besides, our army The pressure on food and grass is already great, and adding these 30,000 mouths out of thin air will greatly increase the logistics pressure, and Gongda's hair will probably turn gray."

Liu Ye smiled: "It's nothing. After Xu He heard that Sima was afraid of being wiped out by our army, he would definitely send his troops to the west in a rage. The decisive battle between our army and Xu He will be within two months. The Yellow Turbans are all ruled by the imperial court."

"As for the food and grass, let Gongda do his best to raise it. In addition, he will try his best to end the war as soon as possible."

Jia Xu said: "The 30,000 captives staying in Suanzao may be a huge hidden danger. It is better to send a few soldiers and horses to send them back to Guanzhong temporarily, so as to avoid future troubles."
