Not long after, Yu Gui brought back more than a hundred cavalry.

But when he reported, his face was a little strange: "Reported to the emperor, the enemy situation has been discovered. The Yellow Turban soldiers are too many, at least ten thousand. However, they still seem to be carrying the elderly and helping the young, which is not very formal. The besieged general is Li Tong, the Marquis of Jiangong. The Marquis of Jiangong seemed to be defeated. He has surrounded a simple temporary camp with supplies and vehicles, and dared not fight. The Yellow Turbans are not in a hurry to attack. It is really strange."

Liu Xie remembered his mission firmly, which was to be a tool for clear rewards and punishments, so he asked: "Have the soldiers ever been discovered by the enemy? Have they ever suffered casualties?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the bandit army did not hold a guard on the periphery. We were not discovered by the enemy, so naturally there were no casualties."

"Well, it's great. You and the soldiers should reward you, so I'll reward you... Well, let's do this. Go back and report the Minglu of the soldiers to Zhongda. After returning to Beijing, each person will be rewarded with an imperial soap. The soap box will be engraved with a special royal stamp. Go down."

Liu Xie was racking his brains. In fact, it is normal to give rewards, so the money is so affordable. Unfortunately, he really has no money. Even if he has it, he is so poor that he can't bear to give up rewards.

After thinking about it, he only thought of something like soap. This thing is now sold well in Runan and Yingchuan, and it is valuable. The key is that this thing is made in the palace and is rewarded by his emperor. I guess they will not sell it for money.

This thing is very suitable for pretending.

After listening to Yu Gui's report, the big guys all frowned and started discussing.

Guan Yu was not familiar with the affairs of the court, and Li Tong was not a very famous general, so he just knew his name but didn't know anything else, and did not interrupt. Sima Yi frowned and said, "How could Li Tong appear here? He is not stationed nearby. Could it be that he is here to suppress the bandits? Why did he avoid the battle if he suppressed the bandits? Let's talk about this."

Zhong Ji said, "Is this more important? I must have heard that the emperor was specially brought to the emperor with his troops to pay homage to the emperor in Xiping. As far as I know, Li Tong surrendered to the court after the Jian'an year. I think he must be loyal to the emperor. Not only did he come to see him personally, but he also brought the troops. It is obvious that he wanted the emperor to recruit his troops. Of course, it was not from the war. The battle preparations were naturally insufficient. Maybe people were afraid that we would misunderstand and did not bring weapons, so they were beaten by these yellow turbans and dared not go out."

Sima Yi always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say what was strange, so he didn't think much about it, just frowned and said, "So, this Li Tong is not only a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, but also quite loyal. But is he not capable enough? According to Yu Gui, the yellow turbans surrounding him are all mobs, can't they be killed?"

"Zhongda came to Xudu too late. I don't know some things. Li Tong is still very good at using military service. Last year, when Grand Sima ordered Cao Hong to conquer Zhang Xiu in the second round, Li Tong led his troops to help, defeated Zhang Xiu and repel him."

"Have you actually repelled Zhang Xiu? Could it be that it is because I want to meet the emperor and I don't bring any weapons?"

Now, if anyone who mentioned Zhang Xiu today cannot praise her famous generals, then Zeng Xiao was better than this famous general in the world, he should be a famous general, right?

The statement that he did not bring weapons because he met the emperor, was so outrageous. How could such a famous general be there?

The two of them discussed for a long time, but they didn't understand why.

However, Liu Xie felt that Li Tong must be unable to do so.

The criterion for judgment is also very simple, because he had never heard of Li Tong's name at all.

Anyway, he has never heard of a name. Yishi is not a famous general. Since he is not a famous general, it is reasonable to have some lack of ability.

He had already understood that Li Tong was a general stationed in Runan. He seemed to be a pure minister of the Han Dynasty. When he heard that he had come to Runan, he happily took his troops to get him to incorporate him. As a result, he was not very lucky and was suddenly surrounded by a group of mobs on the way.

This also shows that this person has self-knowledge and knows that he is not a general, so he takes the initiative to hand over the troops to him for the enrollment.

He lacks ability, but his loyalty is commendable. This is Liu Xie's judgment on Li Tong.

Nowadays, it is not easy to be loyal to the Han court if you have soldiers in your hands. At least one end is still occupied by others.

"Yu Gui, if we go to rescue Li Tong now, how do you think our army is better than the thief army?"

"Report to the Emperor, the bandit army is really a mob. If our army attacks it unprepared, the bandit army will be defeated. General Li can also attack from the camp, causing the bandit army to be attacked on both sides. I think this trick can be defeated in one go."

"Since that's the case, loyal and righteous people must be saved. I want to rescue General Li. What do you think?"

"Abide by the emperor's order."

"Very good, Yun Chang, you'll be the one who commands you, I'll listen to you."

"Here."

Guan Yu was not polite either. He was really afraid that this young man would have to command the battle. In that case, he would have been sure to win the battle and would lose if he couldn't do it well.

"The scouts lead the way, and the entire army is urgent to support General Li Tong. The emperor is here. We fight bravely, and there will be a marching Sima to record the merits for you."

Sima Yi:???

When did I become a marching Sima?

Liu Xie's troops were all new recruits, but they were not lacking in courage. Moreover, when they first went to the battlefield, their opponents changed from Liu Biao's elite Jingzhou to the mob Yellow Turban, which was obviously more suitable for them to practice and see blood.

Therefore, not only were the soldiers below not afraid, but they felt particularly excited and screamed and were about to fight.

In fact, this Yellow Turban Army led by He Man and from Chen to military advisor was really a mob.

He Man and Gong are both good brothers with a good relationship. With Yuan's protection, He Man even gave Gong Du the standard armor and weapons of his army, and then armed Gong Du into a very different appearance than the ordinary Han army.

Moreover, after so many years of exile, the Yellow Turban Army has no longer been the same as when they attacked others. They have long learned the principle that military strength is more expensive than energy. But today isn’t that special? Anyway, they just came to act with Li Tong, so that Li Tong can explain something after the emperor’s death in the future. Why did they let the children and their families separate?

As a result, this group of Yellow Turban Army with almost no standard equipment, most of them only held wooden sticks, hoes, short spears, and even shoulder poles, surrounded the elite soldiers led by Li Tong very loosely, and they did not look like fighting at all, neither maintaining vigilance nor maintaining formation.

Some people even started playing games with their wives and children outside Li Tong's camp, and it felt like they were coming for an outing.

As a result, when Liu Xie led the Yulin Army to appear within their sight, they were all stunned.
