Han emperor system

Chapter 112 Take the opportunity to seize power
"what happened?"

When Liu Bian arrived, he saw the mess in front of him. Broken blades and broken flags were discarded on the ground, and there were corpses. The ground within a radius of two miles was stained red with blood, and some seriously injured and dying people were crying Groaning, there were also a few lonely war horses neighing, and many soldiers of the Imperial Army were injured.

"Reporting to Your Highness, when the forbidden army arrived here, they were suddenly attacked by a small group of yellow scarves. There were more than 200 of them, but they were all extremely fierce, and they set up many traps on the main road. The brothers did not investigate for a while, and rushed to fight. Although they were eventually wiped out, there were many casualties.”

When Bao Hong and Gan Ning saw Liu Bian coming, they quickly came up with their personal guards to greet them, and at the same time reported the situation to Liu Bian, which made Liu Bian frowned: "Tell me, the next camp and the right assistant camp are separate. How about the loss situation? It should be specific to the number of deaths, the number of serious injuries and the number of minor injuries."

Liu Bian actually glanced at it, and already saw that the losses in the lower barracks were serious. Most of the soldiers were wounded, and some even had their armor scattered.

"Reporting to Your Highness, three of our right assistant battalion died in battle, five were seriously injured, and 28 were slightly injured. However, the lightly injured soldiers were all skin wounds. After a day or two, they will be able to recover their combat effectiveness, so only eight people were reduced. "

This time, Gan Ning rushed to report to Liu Bian. Of course, it was also because his right assistant battalion had fewer casualties. After hearing his report, Bao Hong's face turned red and he lowered his head. The head reported to Liu Bianhui:
"We went to the barracks and killed 21 people, seriously injured 28 people, slightly injured 87 people, and lost 49 people. Your Highness, the last general is incompetent and failed to command the soldiers well, causing them to be in danger. Your Highness please punish them."

In the end, Bao Hong knelt down on his own initiative, blushing and extremely ashamed. Compared with the right assistant battalion, he had more veterans in his lower battalion and more cronies belonging to him, so he always thought that he In terms of combat effectiveness, the lower barracks are definitely second only to the upper barracks and the middle barracks among the eight battalions.

And those veterans in the lower barracks also had such thoughts, so they were more relaxed and lazy on the marching road. As a result, after encountering a sudden attack by the enemy, the team immediately dispersed. There will be so many casualties.

Liu Bian glanced over the soldiers in the barracks, and found that they were scattered around like a group of remnants of defeated generals, forming small groups, and they were all looking towards them at this time.

Liu Bian suddenly discovered that among those relatively complete small groups, there were some familiar faces. It turned out that they were some old subordinates who followed Gan Ning from Jianghuai, and they were scattered and placed in the Eighth Battalion by him. Most of their abilities have become Shizhang or even Tuenzhang.

"It seems that the injuries of the recruits are not that great, but the deaths and serious injuries are mainly those old soldiers who followed Bao Hong. Most of them are Jian Shuo's cronies. I didn't expect that this will just weaken Bao Hong's strength."

Liu Bian's eyes were full of sadness. All the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who met his gaze could feel the worried emotion in Prince Liu Bian's eyes for them, which moved many soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

"General Bao, I heard that you used to be a veteran of the Habayashi Army, and you also participated in many battles to eliminate the Yellow Turbans many years ago. It should be said that you have rich command experience. But why did you send scouts when the company marched? Have you forgotten this kind of common sense? Is it because you think that your lower barracks is invincible, or do you think that the yellow scarf thieves are thieves who don’t understand anything? If it wasn’t for your negligence, how could so many soldiers of the Imperial Army be in vain? How can you let the brothers of the imperial army be disabled for life?"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, and immediately pointed at Bao Hong and yelled loudly. His voice echoed around, making many officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army hear his anger, and his sympathy for those officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army who died in vain. sad.

"Your Highness, although General Bao was negligent, the yellow scarves are too cunning. No one would have thought that they would lay an ambush on the road in broad daylight. Please calm down and allow General Bao to take the blame and make meritorious service."

Gan Ning hurriedly stepped forward to plead for Bao Hong, which made Bao Hong trust Gan Ning again in his heart. If he was not one of his own, how could he plead for himself?
"General Gan is justified. I will temporarily write down today's mistakes. You will still be in command of the next barracks. You will decide your merits and demerits after the bandit suppression is over. However, in view of your improper command this time and caused heavy losses, in the future General Gan's military operations are the main ones, the lower barracks are under the control of General Gan, and General Bao leads the lower barracks to cooperate with General Gan in all actions."

Although it was impossible to kill Bao Hong with such a small crime, Liu Bian took the opportunity to weaken his power and publicly announced that he would be subject to Gan Ning's restraint when he went to the barracks, which laid a foundation for Gan Ning to command the Second Battalion of the Forbidden Army.

"The last general is willing to cooperate with General Gan's actions, thank you Your Highness."

Bao Hong quickly agreed. In his opinion, it doesn’t make any difference whether he is the leader or Gan Ning is the leader. Anyway, Gan Ning is with him, and he will take the opportunity to kill the prince soon. To express today's bad breath.

"These yellow scarf thieves are doing evil to the world, and today they caused my big man to sacrifice so many outstanding soldiers, and even made some outstanding soldiers crippled. This king hates you."

Liu Bian suddenly drew a long knife from a guard's waist, strode up to a dying yellow scarf thief, and after scolding him loudly, he raised the knife and pierced his heart, a burst of Blood spurted out suddenly, staining his robe red.

However, Liu Bian did not stop, but continued to walk towards the other dying yellow turban thieves with a knife, and ended their lives one by one. I was very moved, including those veterans of the Forbidden Army who had been following Bao Hong before, they now had a new understanding of Prince Liu Bian, and all of them couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Brothers, rest in peace. This king will definitely avenge you and wipe out all the yellow scarves in Runan. And you, I will arrange someone to send you back. From now on, the court will support you until you Until you are old. Your children will be given preferential treatment by the court in the future, because you are soldiers of the real big man."
