After Zhang Jiao''s death, the remaining troops of the yellow scarf army were like pulling out bones and could no longer support them.
Bai Xiaowen''s sentence "those who fall will not die" made the remaining hundreds of yellow scarf soldiers lay down their weapons.
Examining the soldiers, more than half of the 5000 troops of Youzhou army were lost, and Bai Xiaowen''s heart flesh wing cavalry also lost more than 100 people.
It''s all money.
Bai Xiaowen sighed and then ordered his soldiers to clean the battlefield. Fortunately, the dead winged cavalry, armor and weapons can be recycled. If they are retrained, they will soon be able to make up for the number.
Of course, the pension of the winged cavalry will cost a lot of money, and Bai Xiaowen will certainly not be stingy about it.
Now the winged cavalry have experienced the baptism of battle. They are veterans on the battlefield and have a fast adaptability.
Not much money, grain and iron were seized in the camp of the yellow scarf army. The defeated army itself is barely fed by Guo Cai''s "smuggling". It''s good to have enough to eat. How much surplus food can there be. However, it''s good to get hundreds of young people in plain life, and they are all old soldiers after a hundred battles.
"All the baggage captured in the yellow scarf barracks are escorted to Youzhou mansion, and I won''t take any!" Bai Xiaowen said. "The prisoners are under the custody of the wing cavalry of general Bai Sanniang, and there is no loss."
"Yes," said Cecilia Adam.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the two Youzhou generals. They all bowed their heads and said nothing about Bai Xiaowen''s distribution.
In fact, Jiao touch and Zhang Nan were a little uneasy.
In this war, most of the 5000 men and horses they brought out lost. If the winged cavalry led by childe Yuan Xi didn''t suddenly appear, they might not be able to survive.
As for credit, it was the childe Yuan Xi who killed Zhang Jiao. Even if they were subordinates of Yuan Shao, they didn''t dare to compete with the childe for credit.
Bai Xiaowen doesn''t need any bad intentions. As long as he reports the facts, the two generals will certainly be punished. Maybe he will have to recite a textual criticism of being incompetent and mediocre.
Referring to the cool and thin attitude of general Yuan Shao towards his subordinates, Jiao touch and Zhang Nan both feel that they are likely to be cool
"Jiao touch, Zhang Nan, come here," Bai Xiaowen said.
The two generals looked at each other and walked silently to Bai Xiaowen. Jiao touch knelt down on one knee first. Zhang Nan looked at him and quickly learned from him.
Jiao touch: "the end general congratulates you on your great achievement. Your fame moves the world. It''s just around the corner."
Zhang Nan: "... Me too."
Jiao touch: "the end will read poetry and books, and know the word loyalty and righteousness. If you don''t give up, Jiao touch is willing to follow you in the future, and only your horse will follow you!"
Zhang Nan: "... Me too!"
Jiao touch: "the last general didn''t expect the enemy to be so cruel. It''s a great crime to lose troops and defeat generals in this war. Please save me, childe!"
Zhang Nan (tears in his eyes): "me too!"
Bai Xiaowen originally wanted to spend some time talking. Unexpectedly, the two generals were so knowledgeable.
I don''t know whether it is the influence of high charm or the prestige bonus brought by killing Zhang Jiao, which has initially revealed the clue?
Anyway, it''s a good thing that the two Youzhou generals will worship.
Since you know what''s interesting, you don''t have to beat too much.
Bai Xiaowen coughed and kindly stepped forward to help: "general Jiao and general Zhang, please get up."
"Is there an invincible general in the world? It''s true that the two generals are wrong in this war, but you can''t blame them all. You have too few soldiers!"
Bai Xiaowen sighed, "the so-called lion fights the rabbit, and I try my best. When I found the clue of the yellow scarf thief, I decided that the other party must have something to rely on. I wanted you to take more troops and horses and succeed in the first war, but it''s a pity..."
Bai Xiaowen didn''t continue to say, looking a little embarrassed.
Jiao TA and Zhang Nan certainly knew that it was an order from Guandu camp to let them take 5000 men and horses to the battle. The second childe is taboo. Of course, he can''t directly point out his father''s fault.
Bai Xiaowen continued: "because I was worried about the two generals, many Youzhou soldiers, I forced general Bai Sanniang to lead the newly formed wing cavalry to sweep back. If the two generals can eliminate the bandits, that''s the best. I don''t need to send troops privately against my father''s orders..."
Jiao felt his tears. He knelt down again and said, "I can live because of the childe''s integrity."
Zhang Nan quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Bai Xiaowen picked them up again and encouraged them: "two generals, don''t lose your spirit because of this war. In this troubled time, it''s not happy for a big husband to bring a three foot sword, make great achievements and seal his wife and children. If Yuan Xi can get the help of the two generals, great events can be expected."
They swore allegiance again.
As their boss and the greatest hero of the war, Bai Xiaowen wanted to cover up their sins. In fact, it was very simple.
Just give them some of the credit for breaking Zhang Jiao in the report letter to Guandu.
So far, Bai Xiaowen has completely mastered the military power of Youzhou.
As for financial rights, there are also long history and Zhao Rong''s constraints. However, Bai Xiaowen has tried to contact Liu He through Yan rou. If Liu he can return to his heart, it is easy to overhead Zhao Rong.
The civil servants and military generals of these aborigines are leaders. The more they receive, the better.
Although we can''t use them to help fight bosses - Aboriginal participation in the war will reduce a lot of scores, resulting in reduced rewards - but if we can call so many Aboriginal leaders for our own use, we will have a stronger ability to do things on behalf of the awakened ones, and of course we can find more good places.
In particular, it is related to the status of camp leaders. Generally, leaders of small forces who do not enter the stream will not get an almost unlimited stay. The leader of "camp forces" is only when his advisers are like clouds, his generals are like rain, and he has to shake his feet and face three times!
Bai Xiaowen''s overall plan has been basically completed and is very satisfied.
After cleaning the battlefield, Bai Xiaowen ordered someone to load Zhang Jiao''s body in a coffin and led the troops to the nearest Xiangping city for a rest.
After seeing the Zhaoxian list, a considerable number of families in the four counties of Liaodong came to take refuge because of Yuan''s fame.
Bai Xiaowen received these people.
Bai Xiaowen''s killing of Zhang Jiao was made public, which shocked these family representatives and praised Bai Xiaowen''s achievements one after another.
I believe that after the news spread, other wait-and-see family members in the four counties of Liaodong will quickly come to take refuge in Bai Xiaowen, which is the influence brought by the lofty reputation.
However, Bai Xiaowen also got an unexpected news... Guo CAI in prison, I don''t know where he heard the news of Zhang Jiao''s death in the war, and actually committed suicide.
"Although he is a thief, he is also a loyal and righteous man. He is buried thickly." Bai Xiaowen said.
He sighed and remembered the poems Zhang Jiao had recited before he died.
The Han Dynasty overturned and the world was in harmony. What a pity to me!
Zhang Jiao launched the yellow scarf uprising against the Han Dynasty with Taoism. His original intention was good. He wanted to save the people from suffering from water and fire and create a world of great harmony.
Without such lofty goals, it would be impossible to win over such loyal followers as Guo CAI.
Unfortunately, Zhang Jiao is a Taoist wizard, but not a military wizard. He lacks command ability. The yellow scarf army lacks strict military discipline, weak combat and bad reputation. It gradually loses the support of the people and loses the luck to compete for the world. Otherwise, Zhang Jiao doesn''t need to rely on Taoism to disobey.
Of course, the more important reason is the untimely time!
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, there were many stars. It was a world of great controversy, and good officials and strong generals emerged one after another.
Think about it. At any time, when the Central Plains fell apart, it could pack up all the foreign people in the North Wuhuan, the southern barbarians, the Western Qiang, the Oriental Koryo... And so on?
Only the Three Kingdoms!
From the moment when the Eastern Han Dynasty allowed the local princes to recruit private soldiers, Zhang Jiao''s enemy was no longer just the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the whole world, the princes of all towns, and countless good ministers and generals!
If Zhang Jiao was born in other times, he might really be able to do something.
Bai Xiaowen did not mourn for Guo CAI. It was too hypocritical. After ordering a heavy burial, the matter was uncovered.
Bai Xiaowen rolled up another wave of money... Oh, no, to be exact, after receiving a batch of gold and silver rewards from the Liaodong aristocratic family, he ordered the head teacher.
Take the power of victory and return to Peiping City, Youzhou.
General Yan Rou, who guarded the city, as well as Liu He and Shi Zhaorong, took other officials of Youzhou city out of the city to meet him.
Don''t drive. Liu He has obeyed Yan Rou and submitted to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen felt both unexpected and reasonable. The key is that long Shi Zhaorong followed Liu He closely and showed his loyalty - in this way, there is no need to spend any more time on him.
Youzhou is in my hands! It''s time to open a treasure chest to celebrate.
