Chapter 77
At this time, the reinforcements had arrived,
and Zhao Yun shouted loudly,
"The Lord has ordered: entering the city is only for chasing and killing the Baibo Army; you are not allowed to disturb the people. Anyone who plunders the people will be beheaded!"
"Yes!"
The young man was stunned, his eyes full of surprise, thinking to himself,
"There are actually government troops with such good military discipline?!"
"What kind of person is this Liu Bei?"
When Liu Bei led his troops into the city, the city had already been cleared out.
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said,
"Lord, Yang Feng has been executed, and Yang Xian has not been harmed in the slightest!"
Liu Bei nodded,
"Good, Zilong, you've worked hard. I heard you also captured a young general holding a mountain-opening axe?"
"Lord, this young general has good martial arts; it took me more than twenty moves to take him down."
Liu Bei was stunned,
"Mountain-opening axe, extraordinary martial arts, from Hedong? Could it be Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, one of Boss Cao's Five Elite Generals?"
"Bring him to see me."
Soon, Xu Huang, who was tied up like a dumpling, was brought over.
Liu Bei said in a deep voice,
"Bandit general, report your name!"
Xu Huang said coldly,
"Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, from Yang Xian, Hedong. Do whatever you want, whether you want to fight or kill!"
Liu Bei slapped the desk,
"As a person from Yang Xian, you don't think about protecting your hometown elders, but instead become a bandit and help the tyrant do evil. What is your crime!"
Xu Huang snorted,
"I am guilty of a capital crime, but Niu Fu's Xiliang soldiers are even worse than the White Wave Army—burning, killing, looting, killing the innocent to claim merit, and doing all kinds of evil. They deserve to die even more!"
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said,
"Lord, according to the people of Yang Xian, this Xu Huang followed the bandits to protect the people of Yang Xian from being harmed by the Baibo Army."
Liu Bei looked at Xu Huang,
"Is this true?"
Xu Huang said in a deep voice,
"Although I followed the bandits, I would never harm the people of Yang Xian."
Liu Bei walked over and untied Xu Huang,
"Since that is the case, go home."
Xu Huang was a bit stunned; he didn't expect Liu Bei to let him go.
He cupped his hands and said,
"Thank you, Captain Liu!"
After speaking, he turned and strode out.
Zhao Yun wanted to say something, but Liu Bei waved his hand to signal him not to be anxious; if he was his talent, he wouldn't be able to run away.
"Bai Yuekui, what are our gains this time?"
(QQ group number omitted)
Bai Yuekui cleared her throat,
"Captain, this time we killed more than five thousand enemies, captured 60,000 Baibo troops, 4,500 warhorses, 20,000 shi of grain, tens of thousands of weapons and arrows, and 50 million coins!"
"Baibo Army leaders Guo Tai, Yang Feng, and Han Xian were executed, and Hu Cai surrendered."
Everyone was very excited,
Zhang Fei said loudly,
"Damn it, this Baibo Army is too fragile!"
Guan Yu still kept his eyes half-closed, his face indifferent; he didn't take this Baibo Army seriously!
Liu Bei looked at Gao Shun, who was sitting upright,
"Gao Shun, you blocked the Baibo main force head-on this time and shot Guo Tai to death with arrows. I will report you for the first merit."
Gao Shun was moved in his heart. Previous superiors couldn't wait to snatch all the credit, but Liu Bei didn't even snatch this first merit...
He stood up and cupped his hands,
"Thanks to the Captain for equipping the Trapping Battalion with the best armor and crossbows, I dare not claim the merit."
Liu Bei patted Gao Shun on the shoulder,
"This merit belongs to you."
He looked around,
"The main force of the White Wave Army has been annihilated by us, but don't relax. I received news that Li Le and Yufuluo have another eighty thousand troops moving south from Taiyuan Commandery, and they will arrive in Hedong in a few days. Most of them are cavalry who are good at archery." ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
