The main battle in Youzhou has ended, and the remaining task is to hunt down the Wuhuan people who escaped.
These Wuhuan people gathered in dozens or hundreds to torture the people.
Because there was no food, they plundered everywhere and caused trouble to everyone.
Of course, Liu Ke could not tolerate such a thing happening, so he sent the Yangzhou cavalry into pieces and hunted him everywhere.
This time, Liu does not need prisoners.
If the Wuhuan were defeated in a frontal battlefield, Liu Ke would still spare their lives, but if the Wuhuan were looting, Liu Ke would not tolerate them and would kill as many as he could.
Gradually, the remnants of Wuhuan soldiers went into hiding, the people of Youzhou continued to report, and the Yangzhou cavalry were extremely busy.
Since Liu Ke was personally watching this matter, everyone performed very hard.
But soon, Youzhou was shocked by a piece of news.
Gan Ning made a surprise attack on Liucheng and went on a killing spree in Liucheng, killing all men, young and old.
"Well done, these aliens should have been cleaned up long ago. Now they have gathered in Liucheng, saving us a lot of time." Dian Wei said, expressing his support for Gan Ning's actions.
The generals all agree with this point of view.
Of course, there are people who are against it.
"My lord, such a massacre may harm the peace of heaven and earth." Guo Jiadao.
"Fengxiao, are you doing this too?" Dian Wei said unhappily.
"I don't object, but Gan Ning must be punished severely, otherwise, we don't know what uncontrollable things he will do next time." Guo Jiadao.
"I also agree to deal with Gan Ning. A small punishment will suffice." Zhao Yundao said, "Such a massacre will damage the reputation of the lord. If the lord does nothing, I am afraid that the world will think that this is the order of the lord."
"They dare?" Dian Wei said angrily, but there were so many stupid people, it was difficult to explain the truth, and it was about Liu Ke, so Dian Wei was too embarrassed to plead for Gan Ning.
Liu Ke kept his eyes closed and meditated. After listening to everyone's opinions, he opened his eyes and said, "After this battle is over, Gan Ning will return to Dongyang City to report on his duties. He is not allowed to leave for three days."
This punishment is indeed very light, but for Gan Ning, it is a kind of torture because he is a restless person.
"You can't wander around. What's the difference between it and salted fish?"
Everyone is very satisfied with the results.
With Gan Ning conquering Liucheng and defeating the capable minister Di, the crusade in the north came to an end.
However, Liu Ke was worried about one thing and ordered: "Order the scouts to investigate Neng Chen Di's movements and see where he has escaped to."
Seven days later, Liu Ke received a letter from Gan Ning, saying that the capable minister Di had defected to the Xianbei people.
Liu Ke has no plans to expedition to Xianbei yet, so he has to give up.
However, as the war came to an end, the news that Liu Ke defeated the alien million-strong coalition spread.
It is true that there is civil strife in the Central Plains, but there is no way for foreigners to come and act arrogantly.
Liu Ke severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the foreign race. Who would dare to take advantage of it in the future?
The aliens paid a heavy price for this!
Cao Cao "fell ill" immediately. He had a headache and could not handle government affairs, so he handed everything over to Xun Yu.
Sima Lang paid a visit in the name of visiting a patient.
"The Prime Minister is unwell and does not see guests." Cao Hong said.
"The Prime Minister cannot be sick at this time!" Sima Lang said.
This sentence was meaningful. Cao Hong quickly reported it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao immediately sat up in shock and said: "Quickly, bring Boda in."
After Sima Lang came in, he saw the "weak" Cao Cao and his face was pale.
"Greetings to my lord!" Sima Lang bowed and saluted.
"Boda, please sit down." Cao Cao said politely, always maintaining the attitude of a "courteous and virtuous corporal".
"My lord, you fell ill at the wrong time!" Sima Lang said straight to the point.
"Why? But it doesn't matter." Cao Cao said solemnly.
"Now everyone knows that Dongyang Hou defeated a million-strong foreign army. If you fall ill at this time, don't you feel guilty as a thief?" Sima Lang paused and said.
"I, Cao Mengde, do things openly and aboveboard, why do I feel guilty?" Cao Cao said with a wave of his hand.
"There are rumors in Yangzhou that Yufuluo, the Xiongnu, formed an alliance with Tadun under your instigation." Sima Lang said.
"What?!" Cao Cao was horrified. Although he hoped that Liu Ke would be defeated by the foreigners, he really did not bewitch Yu Fuluo.
Recently, Cao Cao has been staying in Chang'an, most concerned aboutLet¡¯s take a look at the Xiliang matter, and there is absolutely no braining involved.
However, Cao Cao was also worried that once Dongyang Hou believed this rumor, the consequences would be disastrous.
Cao Cao fell ill at this time just to avoid Liu Ke's attention.
Now it has the opposite effect!
When others saw it, Cao Cao felt guilty and fell ill.
If it weren¡¯t for Sima Lang¡¯s reminder, Cao Cao would really have done something wrong.
"Now among the princes in the world, only the court represented by the lord is the opponent of Dongyang Hou, so escaping cannot solve the problem." Sima Lang said.
Cao Cao finally came to his senses!
Except for Yangzhou, he is the largest among all the princes in the world. The Marquis of Dongyang will not let him go no matter what.
"What can Zhongda teach me?" Cao Cao asked humbly.
"The Marquis of Dongyang will not start another war within three to five years, so there is absolutely no need for my lord to get sick at this time." Sima Lang said.
Cao Cao felt it made sense, but he was a little embarrassed and felt like his lie had been exposed.
There was obviously a better solution, but he chose the stupidest one.
"Then we don't do anything?" Cao Cao said.
"No, lord, we can pay the tribute in advance." Sima Lang said.
Cao Cao thought for a while and decided that this was the best way to show his goodwill.
It¡¯s just that the government¡¯s finances are a bit tight now, and military pay has been delayed for two months
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and emptied his belt to collect this money!
As for the soldiers, as long as they are well fed, it should not be a problem to delay military pay for a year and a half.
During the Warring States Period, the population of the Seven Kingdoms was smaller than it is now, but hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized to fight, that is, all the people were soldiers.
Why are they not short of food?
Because when soldiers are not fighting, they have to farm.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, professional soldiers had gradually been established, and wages had to be paid to soldiers.
The so-called "farming" of Cao Cao's army is a retro system, and soldiers also have to farm.
It is precisely because of the farming policy that Cao Cao's army took the lead over Yuan Shao and became a great prince.
Now the wealth accumulated in farming has almost been drained by Liu Ke.
Seeming to see Cao Cao¡¯s dilemma, Sima Lang continued: ¡°Lord, I will mobilize the ministers to raise donations.¡±
"No, how can I use my subordinates' money? Officials have to support their families." Cao Cao refused.
"It is our duty to share your Lord's worries." Sima Lang said.
As for whether it¡¯s sincere, it¡¯s hard to say.
Although the nobles are wealthy, if you want to take their money, it is definitely the same as taking their lives.
"Let's forget it." Cao Cao refused again.
This time Sima Lang didn¡¯t say anything anymore. After returning, he directly launched a fundraiser. All ministers responded and received five million gold, which was sent to the treasury.
How are your subordinates so rich? Cao Cao couldn't help but complain.
It smells so good! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
