Chapter 214 I am watching the mountain view from the tower(1/2)

The day after the city was breached, the plan was followed.

The Yellow Turban prisoners, except the old, weak, women and children, the young and strong prisoners have been hungry for a day.

It's dawn, it's morning.

Liu Bei acted according to his plan. He first beat up the prisoners, and then moved them to understand them with emotion and reason, and made a lot of sense.

Roughly speaking, you are all good people, so why bother becoming thieves? If you have always been thieves, can your parents hold their heads high?

All the Yellow Turban prisoners said, all of them looked ashamed and bowed their heads.

Then, there is the standard recruitment process.

Set up a porridge tent and cook porridge. After the porridge is cooked, add cold water to make the porridge warm and delicious.

Then he gave out porridge to those who said they were willing to join the rebel army, but the captives were anxious to surrender.

Li Mengxi even saw Youxiang Yong pushing a lime truck over and spreading lime everywhere on the porridge shed.

Li Mengxi thought it was a bit funny. The method of appeasement was perfected by my military advisor. Why was Liu Bei so rigid in learning it?

At that time, it made sense that lime should be spread all over the porridge soup areas under Zhuozhou City.

Because of the large crowds of people, people kept coming to vote on that piece of land for more than ten days and a half.

Therefore, it is necessary to use lime to sterilize the land under Zhuozhou City.

Now, it's just a temporary porridge, it can't be left in a day or two, and lime is scattered all over the ground. In fact... it's not necessary.

The rebel army may not necessarily be considered a strong force in the world, but it is very experienced in recruiting refugees and captives.

Along with the porridge shed, a military doctor's medical shed was also erected on the side.

According to the practice in Zhuozhou City at that time, the prisoners were treated one by one.

Li Mengxi saw too many people, but there was only one military doctor, and Tian Bu was too exhausted to see many patients.

He had to find a doctor, so he looked among the prisoners.

Among the prisoners, eleven doctors were recruited.

Together with military doctors, a total of twelve medical stalls were lined up.

Li Mengxi held another jar of alcohol and pulled his younger brother with him. The two of them ran around looking for targets to see who needed help.

Just like that, because they didn't know the pain of alcohol, some people in the crowd screamed from time to time.

On the other side, Liu Bei was also busy.

For those who had eaten the porridge and had been treated by military doctors, according to the old practice in Zhuozhou, when there were a hundred people, Liu Bei would have people take them to the river several miles away to take a bath.

Naturally, the prisoners would be asked to carry firewood on their backs and a fire would be lit on the shore. After the prisoners had taken a bath and washed their clothes, they would come ashore to dry their clothes.

With such a hygienic procedure, the possibility of plague outbreak can be reduced a lot.

Liu Bei specifically told the commanders and corpsmen who were taking the prisoners to the river to bathe and wash clothes. He told them that when they got to the river, someone must take the lead to go down into the river. Either the commander or the corps commander would go down to the river first, and then let the prisoners go down into the river.

Not to mention the time in Zhuozhou, when people were driven into the river to bathe. The refugees thought they were going to be driven into the river and drowned, so they almost started a riot.

This mistake must not be made again.

Commanders, please take your orders carefully.

The recruitment process took longer than siege.

Just like that, another day was wasted.

In the evening, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Li Mengxi, and Xiao Zhuan gathered together to discuss matters.

"Mr. Xuande, prisoner..."

"Hey!" Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile, "If you change your mind about Xi'er, you are not a prisoner. If you surrender to our army, you will be a common man."

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

That's right, if someone joins the rebel army, you should treat them as one of your own.

Li Mengxi nodded, indicating that he was taught.

"If the civilians follow our march, the tents will be inspected during the day and they will not be enough.

There is not enough bedding.

We don’t lack many bowls and chopsticks.”

Li Mengxi was very familiar with the Yellow Turbans. In Zhuozhou, the Yellow Turban refugees had nothing but tattered clothes and a stick in their hands that they could use to walk and beat dogs. Many of them even lacked bowls.

Wen'an County in Hejian County occupies the Yellow Turbans of the county seat. Although there are supplies hoarded in the city, the logistics are still weak.

The prisoners still lacked tents and bedding.

It's okay to have a house in the city to live in, but it's not enough to follow the march without bedding.

When Li Mengxi mentioned this question, Liu Bei frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

"This matter is easy to handle." Liu Bei thought of an idea, "Look for the straw, the editor's seat."

Liu Bei may not know much about technology, but when it comes to making things out of wheat straw and straw, Liu Bei is the absolute authority among them.

Who let people be people who are weaving shoes and selling mats? The editor's position is their old profession, and they can't be more familiar with it.

The minimum and minimum logistical support during the march is as follows - the tent does not need to be used, because it does not rain every day, and sleeping in the open air is fine; the mat does not need to be used; even the quilt does not need to be used, and you can sleep with your clothes on; but it is spread on the ground as a bed.

A bed seat is a must.

When we were in Zhuozhou, we had to mobilize a lot of people to prepare cooking utensils for the fields and build many pottery kilns to make pottery.

Now that I'm short of manuscript space, I'm going to use the same method - production.

The matters related to prisoners are generally settled.

Another day has passed.

——

The city has been captured, and there is no reason for the army to delay.

On the third day after the city was broken, it was the first day after the city was broken, and another day was spent in appeasement. This is the third day.

A total of four people, Liu Guan, Zhang and Li Mengxi, were discussing where to march next.

Although the grand strategy is to go straight to Julu, look for an opportunity to fight the Yellow Turban, capture and kill Zhang Jiao before the world's tycoons, and win the first victory over the Yellow Turban.

But now the eleven counties of Hejian County and Wen'an County have been restored. What is the situation in other counties? Tanma has not yet reported.

Liu Xuande's idea was to attack the next county directly with his army. If there was no war, he would leave it alone. If there was a war, he would directly lead his army to decide the outcome.

Guan Yu agreed with Liu Xuande's intention, while Zhang Fei was excited.

That's how it should be, that the army should attack directly. The Yellow Turbans are too weak to fight. What's the point of fear?

After the three people discussed it, they all agreed on a general consensus and agreed to break camp and march immediately.

After the three of them had discussed it, Liu Bei suddenly realized that Li Mengxi had not said a word.

Liu Bei saw that Li Mengxi was silent and wondered what he meant. After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei asked, "Mengxi, the three of us have discussed that we will break camp today. What do you think?"

"I think the march can be postponed for two days." Li Mengxi said lightly.

"Hmm?! What should we say?" Zhang Fei eagerly asked for a fight, but Li Mengxi said the opposite and glared at Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi turned a blind eye to Zhang Fei, who was blowing his beard and staring, and turned to Liu Bei, who looked puzzled, and Guan Yu, who looked doubtful, and explained, "Why do we have to postpone it for two days? One word - our army's siege tactics are quite...

Rough.”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Before this siege, our army had never attacked the city before, and the soldiers had not practiced siege tactics. Although they practiced all night before the battle, there were still many omissions.

.

Dare I ask, if our army lacks tactics for attacking the city, is it not lacking for tactics for defending the city?

The three of them said that they would lead the army today to fight against the Yellow Turbans. Well, even if they encounter the Yellow Turbans, what would happen if the Yellow Turbans shrink back into the city again?

If our army has just conquered the city and the Yellow Turban reinforcements arrive, our army will defend the city at this time. I dare to ask, can our soldiers defend the city? Can we defend the city in a hurry? Even if we defend the city, how many casualties will our army have?

Today there is Wen'an County. Although the city is small, it is equipped with moats, suspension bridges, city walls, watchtowers, etc.

Exactly, although the sparrow is small, it has all the five internal organs. Now that I have the city in my hands, I can use it to train troops and perfect siege tactics.

You can also practice how to defend the city.

General Guan must be aware that our army has been practicing all night and will inevitably make some mistakes when attacking the city.

Why is this?

Practicing the siege on the plains the night before siege is like learning to swim on land. How can you be thorough?

Fortunately, we now have the city, and we can take the opportunity to perfect our siege tactics.

Therefore, I proposed to postpone the march for two days.

Although it only lasts for one or two days, two days of training is enough to bring our army's combat effectiveness to the next level."

After Li Mengxi finished speaking, he picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip of water. He said no more. How to choose was Liu Xuande's business.
