Chapter 329 (1/2)
”Good! Put down your weapons and come forward. ”
The white wave thief who surrendered made a decision in his heart. On the contrary, he relaxed a lot and moved forward slowly.
However, no one in Liangzhou army raised his bow and crossbow, so he walked forward.
”Your family is in the valley. Go to them.” Liu Ye said with a smile.
”Thank you, general cavalry.” The young white wave thief was so happy that he rushed out immediately.
It was difficult at the beginning. Seeing that some people surrendered and were not killed, countless white wave thieves immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered one after another, and then went straight to find their families.
”Mother! Are you all right? ”
”Boy, you're still alive. That's great.”
”Lan Er, are you and tiger head OK?”
”The chariot general didn't kill us.”
Under Liu Ye's order, the Liangzhou army did not harass the family members of the white wave thieves in the valley, but assigned thousands of troops and horses to strictly guard them to prevent them from falling down and rebelling again.
At the same time, after entering the valley, the army of Liangzhou put out the fire in an orderly way and cleaned up the corpses in the city. Although the granary was burned, but after rescue, there were still 23 / 10 left, enough food for the army.
Han Siam was captured and killed by Zhang Liao, an emissary living in Liangzhou army. Liu Ye was unable to usurp the position of Zhang Liao's official post, so he only rewarded Zhang Liao with 500 pieces of silk and 30000 yuan.
However, Guo Tai escaped from Baibo valley with thousands of deserters. Ma Chao led 5000 iron cavalry to follow. After a day and a night of pursuit, Guo Tai was captured by Ma Chao on the spot and killed in the Baibo valley.
There are more than 27000 white wave thieves captured in the city, and there are more than 150000 families of white wave thieves in the valley. How to deal with them has become a big problem.
Liu Ye thinks about it a little and flies to Luoyang and tells Xun you.
Xunyou is ordered by Liu Ye to lead 5000 troops north to Mengjin and mobilize tens of thousands of people in Luoyang to carry grain and grass to meet the family members of the white wave thieves.
One hundred and fifty thousand families of white wave thieves were escorted to the south by thousands of soldiers and horses. More than 100000 of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. They could not help but march slowly. It was only half a month later that they arrived at Mengjin port. Xun you had already prepared food and grass in Mengjin port. After a good meal, the family members of the white wave thieves, arranged by Xun you, distributed to the counties around Luoyang to rebuild Luoyang, which was related to Nongsang.
As for the more than 20000 former white wave bandits, qingzhuang has not been demobilized or incorporated into the army by Liu Ye. He does not want to establish a second Qingzhou army.
In fact, the Qingzhou army was formed under Cao Cao's helplessness. When Cao Cao's new army pursued Dong Zhuo, it was destroyed by Xu Rong in Xingyang. Without his own army, Cao Cao had to fight with Qingzhou soldiers.
However, the military discipline of Qingzhou soldiers was really corrupt, so after passing through the early difficulties, Cao Cao also recruited soldiers to train new soldiers.
Liu Ye doesn't want to use these white wave thieves, but temporarily uses them as civilian laborers to carry food and grass. After all, the consumption of grain and grass in the 30000 army is very large. Instead of recruiting civilian men to waste the people's strength, it is better to use the more than 20000 white wave thieves available, which is the price of their surrender and obedience.
Liu Ye reorganized his army in Baibo Valley, leaving 3000 people and 10000 white wave thieves here to rebuild Baibo Valley, building Baibo valley into a military barrier and grain and forage transfer point in the north of Luoyang, and continue to march northward.
Zhang Liao, who witnessed Liu Ye's attack on Baibo Valley, sent a letter to Jinyang.
Jinyang, governor's office.
