Damn it!
Bastard!
How could he be defeated so quickly?
I haven't even entered the arena and haven't gotten any credit. How can I be defeated like this?
What were these Yellow Turban soldiers doing? Are they all stupid pigs?
No, even if it was 50,000 pigs, Li Chengde only had less than 400 men. How many days would it take to catch them…
Liu Bei was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He had managed to fool two experts with great difficulty and formed another 500 local soldiers. He was prepared to go all out and crazily collect military achievements to establish his reputation. However, in the end, the battle had already ended before he even entered the battle. Including the Yellow Turban Vanguard Army, there were a total of 60,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, but he had not obtained anything.
Depressed, jealous, envious, hateful…
All sorts of complicated emotions intertwined together. Liu Bei was about to go crazy, but he was able to endure it and suppress all the negative emotions in his heart. His eyes darted around.
No, I have to leave this place as soon as possible!
Liu Bei finally understood. Although his two brothers had amazing martial strength, if he were to be with Li Qing, he would definitely not be able to get anything.
Moreover, he was just a nobody now. He could have anything he wanted. If he was accidentally plotted against, he would be finished. When that time came, he would really be left with a lone commander. How could he talk about making contributions?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei hastened his pace and hurried back to the tent. He woke Guan Yu and Zhang Fei up in the starry night. He was emotional and cried. Finally, he managed to persuade his two younger brothers. Then, he led everyone away without even saying goodbye to anyone.
That dejected look was indescribably miserable.
……
By the time Li Qing led his troops back to the city gates of Zhuo County, the sky had already broken. Before they had even entered the city, Liu Yan had already brought all the officials and generals of Zhuo County to welcome them.
"Brother Chengde, you must be hungry and tired after a night of battle. Quick, quick, this foolish brother has already prepared a banquet. We're just waiting for your triumphant return to drink together.”In order to show their closeness, Liu Yan walked over directly. When Li Qing had just dismounted from his horse, he held his hand and walked towards the banquet without any explanation.
"Thank you, Provincial Governor." Li Qing was indeed hungry. He signaled Xue Rengui to arrange everything with his eyes and did not refuse. He followed Liu Yan to the banquet.
The two of them sat down. Liu Yan poured a glass of wine and then stood up. With a solemn expression, he said,"Brother Chengde, Dacai, on behalf of the people of Youzhou, I toast you.”
"What is the Provincial Governor doing? Quickly sit down. I'm just a white body and can't bear the responsibility.”Li Qing immediately said.
"No, don't worry, brother. I will also send a report to His Majesty and order people to report your achievements. When His Majesty receives the report, he will be very happy and will definitely be rewarded.”Liu Yan said.
"If you don't reward me, I'll be a white body. I'll thank you in advance, Provincial Governor.”Li Qing said.
"Report!"
"Milord, a messenger from the Changshe has arrived.”A minor school reported.
"Oh? Where's the letter?" Liu Yan turned around and asked.
The small school immediately handed the letter over.
Liu Yan took the letter and opened it without any hesitation.
After reading it, Liu Yan's brows gradually furrowed. He handed the letter to Li Qing and said,""Brother, take a look too."
Li Qing didn't decline and took the letter to read.
"A hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers!" Liu Yan sighed and said," It's a pity that our Youzhou garrison isn't strong enough. It's all thanks to you that we managed to pacify Cheng Yuanzhi's troops. Otherwise, a fierce battle would have been unavoidable."”
"Now that General Lu Zhi has sent a letter asking for help, what should we do?”
Battle of Changshe?
This was a good opportunity to gain credit. He couldn't miss it.
"Don't worry, Provincial Governor. I'll rest for a day and set off tomorrow to quickly provide reinforcements.”Li Qing said.
"Brother Gao Yi, in the future, you will definitely become the backbone of our Great Han.”Liu Yan said excitedly.
Li Qing smiled but didn't say anything.
The banquet quickly ended and Li Qing returned to his tent.
"My lord!" Xue Rengui had already arranged everything and was waiting here.
"Pass down the order. All the black-armored cavalry should rest for a day." Li Qing nodded.”
"As for those who can't endure hardship, those who are weak and old, pick them out and let them stay in Zhuo County.”
"My lord, is there a war?" Xue Rengui asked curiously.
After all, the war in Zhuo County was over, and there was no longer a Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou.
"Here!"
After everything was arranged properly, Li Qing was a little tired and went to rest.
The next morning, the entire army was assembled. After the selection and elimination of the Illusion God Guards, as well as the captives of the Yellow Turban Vanguard Army last time, there were more than 25,000 Yellow Turban soldiers. After a round of selection, only 3,000 strong men were left.
These 3,000 people were all young and had good physical foundations. As long as they were trained, they would definitely become elites.
It was not unreasonable for elite soldiers and good generals to win every battle.
Together with the captured warhorses, all the troops formed a cavalry of about 3,500.
