Chapter 56 Blackmail
The Yuan army soldiers who were fighting rushed to retreat with the flag. Some were injured and could not run fast, and were pushed down by the people behind them; some were accidentally tripped by the corpse; some cavalry saw Xie Jun's iron cavalry coming, and urged the horse to speed up regardless of everything, and rushed around in the formation... There were countless Yuan army soldiers who were trampled and killed in a while.
Xie Jun chased and killed him until he arrived in Bohai County in the morning. He won a lot of money, more than 20,000 stones of food, more than 29,000 yuan in money, more than 15,000 horses, and countless other military supplies, including Ju Su, captured more than 130,000 people and killed more than 40,000 people (the 80,000 people who trampled on each other and died).
He gained a lot and lost a lot. When Xie Chengbin came to the plain, Yu Jin had basically finished more than 13,000 people, and later he recruited 12,000 people, plus more than 20,000 reinforcements, plus the 5,000 strong men temporarily recruited, including more than 42,000 cavalrymen, now only three thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry are left.
"Brother Zibin, is it inappropriate to directly recruit and use the prisoners like this? If I were Yuan Jun, I would deliberately defeat him and choose to join Xie Jun. At that time... hehehe!" Seeing the prisoners cutting their hair, Xiao Guojia rubbed his pointed chin with a smirk.
Xie Chengbin was shocked and felt a chill on his back. These methods were learned from reading time travel novels before. He didn't know that there would be such a serious situation in reality. Maybe that Chunyu Qiong did this! Guo Jia is worthy of being a genius and wants everything! "What Jia said is so true. I don't know if Jia has a good idea? Teach me quickly!"
"I don't have a good idea. I just thought that I shouldn't use the number of prisoners rashly when I was forced to do so. I should train for a while before I could use it. Furthermore, it is a pity that I release it like this. Those who do not want to join the army can also drive them to work hard and farm. In this way, they can save military strength and add a little income to the food! This is not a matter of harming the sky, and Brother Zibin doesn't need to worry too much!" Xie Chengbin was scared to death, but Guo Jia looked dissatisfied, as if it had nothing to do with him.
At noon, Xie Chengbin held a banquet in Pingyuan City to entertain Lu Bu. At the banquet, everyone drank and talked happily, the singer danced and the musician played music, and the atmosphere was quite good.
Everyone toasted Lu Bu frequently, and they caught a lot of praise. But they didn't know what happened to Zhang Fei, so they refused to toast Lu Bu. Even if Lu Bu politely toasted Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei would relentlessly respond. Fortunately, Lu Bu did not have an attack for Xie Chengbin's face, otherwise there would be something wrong again.
As far as Xie Chengbin knows, Lu Bu did not bring Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to the scene this time, but instead brought Wei Yue and Wei Xu to lead more than 1,500 cavalry to support him.
After thirty years of drinking, Wei Yue seemed to be drunk, and stood up shakingly, his face passed. "Uh (burp), I am waiting for the support at night. It's quite hard. Do you want to reward us for five thousand war horses?"
"Cough!" Lu Bu's face turned green and red, and he glared at Wei Yue fiercely, wishing to kill Wei Yue immediately! Originally, Lu Bu came to Qingzhou to borrow food from Xie Chengbin, but who knew that Wei Yue, a fool, would have to ask for five thousand war horses as soon as he spoke! This time, it was so good that Lu Bu could not get off the stage, and he could not afford to raise even if he gave it to the war horse.
When Wei Yue heard the sound, he saw Lu Bu looking at him with murderous aura. He was so scared that he woke up most of the time. He quickly sat down and did not dare to say a word.
"What a big sigh! Our soldiers fought bloody battles, 40,000 people and horses were killed, and most of them were seriously injured. There are only 2,000 supporters, and you dare to challenge 5,000 war horses! Come on, fight with a certain group for 300 rounds!" Before Xie Chengbin could speak, Zhang Fei took a few photos of the case and stood up.
The laughter of others came to an abrupt end, and the lobby, which was originally talking and laughing, suddenly became silent and the atmosphere was a little nervous.
"Don't say too much about Yide. According to the general's words, 5,000 is 5,000." Xie Chengbin secretly blamed Zhang Fei for being too impulsive, why did he get angry at all. At present, the troops in the north have fought all over with Yuan Shao, and they need Lu Bu's support very much. If he had a falling out with Lu Bu now, he would be very likely to be attacked from all sides. But then again, Zhang Fei's words are rough but not rough. Wei Yue is indeed a little bit open.
"Brother..." "Brother Zibin..." "Zibin..." Zhang Fei, Yu Jin, Tibetan Ba, Guan Hai stood up one after another when he heard this, and all the generals were indignant. After all, it was exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, so how could he give in? After all, there are a lot of five thousand war horses.
"You are so polite, I am guilty of it! I came to help this time to repay the great kindness and never seek benefits!" Although Lu Bu is a rough man, I still understand the principle of knowing kindness and repaying kindness, and Lu Bu did not want to fight horses at all.
"Hmph! Don't be hypocritical here. Don't think that you don't know. The master and servant have already colluded with each other!" Zhang Fei thought that he was a hypocrite and didn't like him no matter how he looked at him.
The clay Buddhas have three points of fire, let alone Lu Bu with a hot personality. Lu Bu tolerated Zhang Fei again and again. Who knew that Zhang Fei was so ignorant that he had to challenge Lu Bu's bottom line. A tiger did not show his power. Do you think I am a sick cat? After Zhang Fei said this, Lu Bu could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up with a fierce momentum, stepped on the case to pieces and pointed at Zhang Fei with his index finger and middle finger. "Zhang Fei! (In ancient times, people usually only called him words but not his name) Don't be too arrogant!"
"Stop it!!!" Zhang Fei was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Chengbin. Xie Chengbin felt so annoyed. He hated his lord's position again, bothering about civil affairs, military affairs, and personnel affairs. Since the day he became the lord, he has not had a few days of leisure, and with the secrets in his heart, he feels like he is about to collapse!
After Xie Chengbin yelled, the temperature in the entire lobby dropped by ten degrees.
"If Yide says more, don't blame Brother Yu for his military law! Mr. Wen does not need to be humble. This is what you deserve. Don't refuse again. Today's banquet ends here, so you can rest as soon as possible." Xie Chengbin waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat.
Everyone, including Guo Jiaxu You, stood up, saluted Xie Chengbin, and then walked out in order. After the generals left, the singers and musicians left. When the musicians were about to go out, Xie Chengbin suddenly wanted to listen to music. "Slow down! You stay and play a few songs to relieve my troubles."
Speaking of music, the instruments of this era are almost completely different from those in later generations, such as percussion instruments: drum, bell, yong, yong, ya, Zhu, spring, Zhu, and play instruments: flute, pipe, sheng, yang, flute, yu, string instruments: qin, si, zheng, etc. Not only are the instruments different, but the music is also different. Xie Chengbin does not understand music, but only knows that it sounds similar to lullaby, and does not have the rock rhythm like later generations.
Upon hearing this, the musicians clasped their fists and agreed, returned to the sides of the lobby and started playing music, but in less than ten seconds, Xie Chengbin waved his hands impatiently. "Stop! What kind of broken songs, if you change to something else, you must be inspiring and majestic."
If you are not satisfied, you will change the songs, but there are more than a dozen songs in total. Xie Chengbin is still not satisfied. However, the musicians only know these dozen songs. The musicians look at each other and don’t know what to do.
Xie Chengbin also felt that no matter how much he changed, he could not change the new rhythm, so he quietly asked Cody if there were any songs in the database. Cody said that because he was too hastily, he only downloaded songs from before the 21st century, and there were no songs from after the 21st century.
Xie Chengbin was overjoyed and was about to drive the musicians out, thinking that if Cody kept playing songs, the energy would be used up sooner or later, so he asked Cody to play music and let the musicians learn.
Originally, Xie Chengbin wanted Cody to teach all the songs he liked to the musicians, so that he could listen to them at any time in the future. However, when Cody played a Jingwumen interlude, the musicians tried to play them, and it sounded differently. It was not a matter of the difference in the instruments, but the inaccurate notes. This made Xie Chengbin very disappointed and had no choice but to give up.
When the musicians walked out, a messenger rushed in. "Reported to the lord, a girl asked for a lord in Jinan. Because she held the lord's token, the lord sent a lord to send him to the plain. I wonder if the lord would receive him?"
Girl? When did I meet? Why didn’t I remember it? Xie Chengbin was puzzled for a long time, but many brain cells died but couldn’t come up with the answer. “Translation.”
Not long after, a woman in her fifteen or sixteen walked into the lobby. She was dressed in rags, messy hair, melon-shaped face, cherry mouth, small and pointed nose, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and scary white skin. If it weren't for her black hair and eyes, Xie Chengbin would have thought she was from the West.
The woman stopped five meters ahead of Xie Chengbin and knelt down to Xie Chengbin to pay a big greeting. "Greetings to the envoy!"
"Get up and talk." Xie Chengbin looked and looked, and looked and was sure that he didn't know the other person, but he didn't know what was going on. It seemed that he had seen this person somewhere. "I don't know what the girl is looking for?"
"I am a native of Pei, Yuzhou, and came to Qingzhou for refuge due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Halfway through the bandits, all the wealth of the whole family was taken away by the bandits, and my father was also injured. Because I was short of money in my pocket, my father's injuries worsened day by day until the death of Dong'ashi. I had to sell myself to bury my father. Fortunately, I met the envoy generously, so I came to repay my kindness and wished to be a cow or a horse to serve the envoy!" The woman's face was full of sadness and her tone was full of helplessness.
