Chapter 1922 Wei Zhou surrenders
Chapter 1920: Surrender of Wei Zhou
Xue Rengui was extremely troubled by the candidates for reorganizing the puppet Han captives.

The Qin army had [-] Northern Han prisoners of war in the five counties of Guangyang, Yuyang, Daijun, Zhuojun, and Shanggu.

There are also [-] Northern Han prisoners of war in Youbeiping.

In other words, there were a total of [-] Northern Han prisoners of war scattered among the six counties of Youzhou, and there were still [-] Northern Han soldiers who surrendered.

The Northern Han Dynasty had a total of 18 troops before the war, but under the lightning attack of the Qin Army's five-way army, the entire territory fell in less than a month.

Among the 18 troops, [-] were captured, and [-] were either defeated or surrendered, or obeyed Liu Che's order to surrender.

In other words, only [-] soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty actually died in battle.

In addition, [-] to [-] Yanjing people died in the offensive and defensive battle of Yanjing.

It can be seen from this that the war between the Qin army and the Northern Han Dynasty did not cause too much damage to Youzhou.

If we really want to say that the destruction is only limited to Yanjing, after all, the offensive and defensive battle of Yanjing was indeed the most tragic battle fought by the Qin army during the attack on Youzhou.

Now that the Northern Han Dynasty has destroyed the country, it is natural to reorganize the prisoners of war and surrendered troops.

Only the surrendered generals of the Northern Han Dynasty could return the prisoners of war as soon as possible and restore their combat power, but there was no suitable candidate among the surrendered generals.

At present, only Li Ling, Tian Yu, Han Zeng, Zhao Chongguo and others surrendered to the Qin army in the Northern Han Dynasty.

Tian Yu, Li Ling and others are still too young and lack prestige to take on this important task, and Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo are suspected of surrendering.

After much deliberation, Xue Rengui couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he thought of Li Guang and Li Gan, father and son of Yuyang who were imprisoned, and then he was persuaded to surrender, but the effect was not good.

After Li Guang learned of Liu Che's death, he always wanted to commit suicide to be loyal to Liu Che. If Li Gan hadn't stopped him, Li Guang would have died long ago.

As for Li Gan, although he wanted to surrender, with such a father on the table, even if he wanted to surrender, he didn't dare to mention it.

Seeing that Li Guang was unwilling to surrender, Xue Rengui thought of Zhou Yafu who was imprisoned in Qingzhou.

Together with Wei Qing, Zhou Yafu was once known as the Two Heroes of Youzhou, and his position in the Northern Han Army was second only to Wei Qing. If he was willing to surrender, the prestige he had accumulated in the Han Army would naturally be enough to take on this important task .

Xue Rengui didn't care whether Zhou Yafu was willing to surrender or not, he was taken from Jizhou first, ah no, he was invited to come over, but he didn't expect that Zhang Liang had already surrendered Wei Qing before Zhou Yafu arrived.

"Master, how did you do it?"

Xue Rengui asked puzzledly, he went to lobby Wei Qing himself, and he said everything he needed to say, but Wei Qing didn't respond at all, why did the military division succeed as soon as he stepped out?
Zhang Liang explained: "General Xue, don't you know? Wei Zifu is Wei Qing's sister, and the relationship between the siblings is extremely deep, and Wei Yang is Wei Qing's cousin..."

"Wait, Mr. Wei Yang is Wei Qing's cousin? Isn't he from the Gongsun family, and he is a cousin of Gongsun Xuanyuan? Why is he now Wei Qing's cousin again?"

Hearing Xue Rengui's question, Zhang Liang suddenly laughed dumbfounded and said: "It seems that you really don't know that Wei Yang's father came from the Gongsun family in western Liaoning, and his mother came from the Wei family in Hedong. Change to follow mother's surname.

Wei Yang's mother is Wei Qing's aunt, and they are cousins. "

"It turns out that the relationship between these aristocratic families is really complicated."

Xue Rengui smiled wryly, and now he seemed to understand a little bit what the lord meant by appointing Wei Yang as the prefect of Guangyang.

Although Wei Yang has changed his surname, it is an indisputable fact that the blood of the Gongsun family is flowing in his body. In addition, he is still Wei Qing's cousin.

With these two identities, Wei Yang naturally has extremely high political capital in the military and political circles of Youzhou. Coupled with his great contribution to defeating Xue Gang, Wei Yang is simply the best candidate to govern Youzhou. He will definitely get the unanimous support of local forces as the governor of Youzhou.

Although Wei Yang is just a prefect now, if he can build a stable rear for the Qin army during the Qin-Qing war and ensure that the rear is not chaotic, it will be a great achievement, and he may not be able to serve as the governor of Youzhou in the future.

"It seems that we have to be more polite to Mr. Wei Yang in the future, maybe at some point, he will become a big official of the frontier." Xue Rengui thought to himself.

"Liang's reasoning with Wei Qingxiaozhi, coupled with Wei Zifu and Wei Yang's persuasion, persuaded Wei Qing to surrender to our army." Zhang Liang smiled lightly.

"Wei Zifu is Liu Che's queen, how could she say surrender to Wei Qing?" Xue Rengui asked in confusion.

Zhang Liang explained with a smile: "Wei Zifu is a smart woman, Liu Che is dead, and now the most important thing to her is her son Liu Shi.

Liu Ju is the son of Liu Che, even if the lord treats their mother and son kindly, there will definitely be a lot of criticism in the future, and if he wants to not be bullied in the future, he must find a backer.

For Wei Zifu, is there a better backer than her younger brother? "

"So that's the case, but if Wei Qing is persuaded to surrender like this, will he really help our army?"

"Don't worry, Wei Qing is a loyal minister. Now that he has surrendered, he won't be half-hearted. What's more, the Hedong Wei family, as well as Wei's husband, mother and son, are all Wei Qing's weaknesses."

"That way I'm relieved."

The benefits of Wei Qing's surrender to the Qin army are undoubtedly huge.

Originally, there were many dissatisfied among the surrendered troops and prisoners of war, coupled with the frequent instigation and agitation by the Manchu secret agents, many prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp were anxious, looking for an opportunity to launch a riot to restore the glory of the great man.

After all, the Qin army's guards in Youzhou were only 4, while the Northern Han surrendered troops had [-], and the Northern Han prisoners of war were as many as [-]. If they were successfully instigated by the Qing Dynasty, if the prisoners of war rioted, what would the consequences be? Simply unimaginable.

However, as the news of Wei Qing's surrender spread, the voices of the surrendered prisoners of war became much quieter.

Wei Qing's prestige in the Northern Han Dynasty was second only to Emperor Liu Che's. With his prestige alone, he was able to frighten the prisoners of war in his residence, preventing them from making trouble.

Later, Zhang Liang transferred Li Ling and Tian Yu to Wei Qing's command, and asked the two generals to assist Wei Qing in training the surrendered soldiers and prisoners of war.

With the joint efforts of these three generals, the reorganization and training of the surrendered army of the Northern Han Dynasty proceeded very quickly, and it was estimated that it would take less than a month to reorganize into an army, and Zhou Yafu's arrival shortened it to this time.

Zhou Yafu has been in Beihai Customs for several months. Although he is still loyal to Liu Che in his heart, but when he learned that Liu Che had committed suicide and the Northern Han Dynasty had been destroyed, all his persistence was meaningless, so he became very at a loss , not knowing what to do next.

Later, under the persuasion of Wei Yang, Wei Qing, and Wei Zifu in turn, Zhou Yafu decided to surrender to the Qin army, and together with Wei Qing helped the Qin army organize the prisoners of war.
