Chapter 242 The first merit of the war

"Huh... the people are so enthusiastic. Look, my sleeves are filled with their tears."

Cheng Liang shook his sleeves and said helplessly.

Huo Qing walked over: "Haha, you generals may not be able to understand the feelings of the people. Not to mention them, even Qing is so excited at this time. The soldiers and civilians in the north have been attacked and oppressed by the Xianbei for a long time and have always been unable to resist. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people have been kidnapped by the Xianbei and countless soldiers have stained the border with blood. Now that our army has won such a great victory against the Xianbei, it is of extraordinary significance, and everyone naturally cannot control their emotions for a while."

"Yes, many people have returned from the north after the war last year. When they arrived at Yanmen Pass and Yinguan City, they were all dressed in rags. Many people were almost completely unclothed, with yellow faces and thin skin. They were exhausted, starved, and sick along the way. Now this great victory is not only for them, but also for their future life, and for their hope to return to their hometown."

Cui Jun looked into the distance, and then kept muttering the word "hope".

Shi Tao looked at Cui Jun and said, "Zhou Ping is right. People live for a lifetime and are willing to give everything for two things. One is to survive. If you don't give up and work hard, you will not be able to survive. Then you have to fight. The other is hope. People can often give more things for hope than they do for survival."

Everyone was feeling emotion when suddenly a man ran in from outside.

"Report... Report to the lord, the great victory in Langdiao County! General Cheng Mian successfully led his army to defeat the enemy, beheaded more than 2,000 people, fled more than 1,000 people, and captured about 7,000. He was on his way back to Yanmen at this time and was expected to arrive in two days!"

"good!"

Liu He stood up.

When Guan Yu and others heard this, they looked at each other with a confused look on their faces.

"Brother, what's going on? Why is there a war in Langdiao County?"

"And there is also, Wu Meng brought a group of people to the south of Yanmen Pass before, and when he came back, he said it was a great victory. Then the elder brother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then the whole army left the pass to fight against the Xianbei. What's going on?"

Zhu Ye scratched his forehead and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Liu He looked at them and smiled and said, "Haha, brothers don't know that the enemy our army will face in this battle is not just a Xianbei. South of Yanmen, Zhang Yan led 70,000 Heishan troops to attack. And the dozen powerful families who were against us also pieced together more than 10,000 mobs to try to capture Langdiao County and capture our families, so as to disrupt our morale."

"What!"

Guan Yu and others were shocked.

"There is such a thing. These thieves are so brave! But why did the elder brother hide it from us?"

Cui Jun stood up and said, "It's not that the lord wants to hide it from all the generals, but the lord has received the news that these families have sent a batch of new works to our Yanmen Pass, so the fewer people know about this, the less likely it is to alarm the snake."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"So that's the case, my brother is more thoughtful. I wonder how my brother deals with it?"

Liu He smiled and said, "But it's not difficult. Do you remember that Cheng Mian brought 15,000 elite soldiers to go south to prepare to assist the governor?"

"Of course I remember this."

Liu He smiled: "I ordered Cheng Mian to go south to Langdiao County and stop moving westward, but instead lie in the name of rest and recuperation. This Langdiao County is our base camp, a place in the city and the countryside, and all the people belong to me. With their help, it is easy for the 15,000-10,000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-1000-100-1000-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-100-1

"So that's it. This way, you can deal with these bandits, and the governor cannot blame them. After all, we have encountered enemy plundering the city, so there are naturally legitimate reasons to take charge of the next one."

Ye Xiang sighed, but then he thought of another question.

"This thousand rabble is easy to deal with, but Zhang Yan has a total of 70,000 troops. How did the elder brother retreat so quietly?"

When Liu He heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Jun will say it." Cui Jun said.

"The lord has already predicted that Zhang Yan is virtuous and forgets his righteousness, but is as timid as a mouse. He has collected the food and grass from those families and asked him to send troops. He will definitely come. However, given that he has suffered many losses at the hands of our army, especially after the last time he was attacked by our army, even if he reached the Yanmen border, he would only linger and would not be able to arrive directly as fiercely as before."

When Zhang Yong heard this, he seemed to have guessed the result.

"Ah, I understand. The eldest brother deliberately asked Wu Meng to take away all the flags in the army. He must have ambushed Zhang Yan in the mountains and forests outside the pass. He used this suspicious plan to make him mistakenly think that he was fooled by the eldest brother again this time, so he would definitely retreat and escape quickly."

Cui Jun gave a thumbs up: "General Zhang is indeed extremely intelligent. He guessed the lord's plan so quickly."

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Haha, I just guessed it afterwards. It's better to plan ahead with my elder brother and the military advisor."

Guan Yu stroked five long beards and said, "Brother is planning and the battle is extremely thrilling at first, but in the plan of my brother, the result of the battle is actually destined. But these families are really hateful. They actually use the thief and the foreign tribes of the barbarians to attack our Han border army. The crime should be punished!"

"Yes, these people deserve to be killed!"

"No matter what crime they committed, I should die if I dare to conspire against my lord!"

For a moment, the crowds surged in the conference hall.

At this time, Ye Xiang suddenly asked, "Well? How did the lord know these plans? Could it be that the lord secretly made a detailed work in these families?"

Only then did everyone realize this problem.

These families plan to use these three armies to deal with Liu He. If they succeed, Liu He and An Minjun will almost die, and they have nothing to do with them afterwards. After all, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and the Xianbei Hu tribes. Even the 10,000 people who attacked Langdiao County disguised themselves as bandits, so Liu He died in vain.

However, Liu He was able to learn about their conspiracy in advance, follow the situation and follow the situation, thus achieving such a great victory now, which really puzzled everyone.

Liu He smiled mysteriously.

"How can I have such ability to install spies in these big families? But this is a thanks to one person, oh no, it is a pair of brothers. In my opinion, it is the two of them who are the first achievements in this battle."

Everyone is even more confused.

"Brothers? Who?"

Liu He clapped his hands: "Brothers of You, please come in and speak!"

Everyone looked at the door of the conference hall.

Two young men with similar figures and appearances appeared at the door, then walked in with great strides, and when they came to Liu He, they suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"The two villains and brothers, who mistakenly believed the words of the traitor, almost harmed Lord Liu and all the generals, and even more, almost harmed the stability of the borders in the northern border of our Great Han. It is really a great crime. Please punish me!"

"Hahaha, you two are so kind, get up quickly!"

Liu He walked down and helped the two of them up in person.

These two people are none other than You Lang and You Ming brothers who rescued Zhang Yan from Guan Yu and Zhang Liao.

Guan Yu and the others have also seen these two people. At this time, they suddenly saw them appear here. Liu He also said that this victory was a big victory. Thanks to them informing the news, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, this..."
