Han Shimou

Chapter 478 Zhang Xiu Surrenders

"I do!"

Wen Han showed a smile that got his wish, turned around, and shouted at the same time. -

"From today onwards, Zhang Xiu will be the Colonel of Beiqiang of our army!"

Zhang Xiu's body trembled slightly, looking at Wen Han's back, there was a strange look in his eyes, originally he thought that he had insulted Wen Han just now, even if he voted, he could at most be a captain under his command and should not be reused.Unexpectedly, Wen Han was given a heavy duty as a school lieutenant, which made Zhang Xiu feel as if he had overturned a bottle of all kinds of flavors, and he didn't know what it was like.

When Wen Han passed by Xi Long, Xi Long smiled and whispered in Wen Han's ear.

"Congratulations, my lord, I got another general, a strong general!"

"Hu Che'er is indeed a rare and fierce general. As for Zhang Xiu, if he is loyal, he is a general. If he is still arrogant, he is nothing but a disaster."

Wen Han turned his head and glanced secretly at Zhang Xiu, smiled inexplicably, and walked into the tent.Xi Long followed closely, and when Wen Han finished sitting, he asked.

"My lord, how do we deal with these 3000 captives?"

"Split half of it to the various ministries. The rest will be taken by Zhang Xiu."

Xi Long frowned, and said again.

"Do you need to do something big?"

"No need, just promote a few captains and move them into the army."

"My lord, this embroidery is new. And this person's temper."

"It turned out that he has surrendered. Employers are not suspicious and others are not. It is because of my temperament that I have to trust him so much to win his loyalty. Different people have to use different methods."

"In this way, Zhicai understands."

"Okay, you go out and make arrangements."

Xilong bowed his hands and resigned. After walking out of the tent, he began to arrange Wen Han's orders.Here, the Wenhan Army recruited 7000 soldiers, and the total strength reached more than 3000, nearly 3000.Among them, the [-] elite soldiers that Wen Han originally brought from Hedong lost more than [-] soldiers and horses during the Battle of Chang'an, and more than [-] soldiers and horses were lost in the previous battle with Zhang Xiu.

Later, Zhang Xiu learned that Wen Han asked him to lead an army of [-] troops, and almost all of his soldiers were his former soldiers. A few lieutenants and gatekeepers were recruited.This made Zhang Xiu feel admiration for Wen Han. It can be said that there are very few people with such a magnanimity in the current troubled times.

A few days after the end of the war, the soldiers and horses were all reorganized. Zhang Xiu voluntarily offered to persuade the defenders of Niyang for Wenhan to donate Niyang City.Wen Han was overjoyed and let Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun lead the army to rush to Niyang City. The guards in Niyang City were originally under Zhang Xiu's command. Hearing that Zhang Xiu had voted for Wen Han, he was surprised for a while and didn't struggle much. After all, there were only more than 2000 defenders in Niyang City, and even Zhang Xiu couldn't defeat Wen Han, so why would he dare to defend Niyang City with only [-] troops.At that moment, the guard ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses enter the city.enter

After the city, Zhang Xiu voluntarily left the soldiers and horses behind, and led a group of troops alone to inform Wen Han.Zhao Yun also understood Zhang Xiu's intentions, but in fact, before coming, Xi Long also specially ordered Zhao Yun to pay attention to Zhang Xiu, to see if he sincerely came to vote, if he intends to move Zhao Yun away after leading the army into the city, it means that he has no evil intentions. Except, if he voluntarily left the soldiers and horses and returned to the camp to report, it would prove that he really devoted himself wholeheartedly to Wen Han's command.

Zhang Xiu rode his horse roaring out from the city gate, Zhao Yun silently watched his leaving back, with a look of relief on his face.

"Eldest brother, if we can fight side by side with you in the future, you and I will be invincible. This is what Yun has been looking forward to since he was young!"

Zhang Xiu led the army to the camp and reported to Wen Han the news that Niyang City had offered. Of course, Wen Han had expected this.

Wen Han's army entered the city one after another. The atmosphere in Niyang City was strange. Few of the people left their homes. , Living in troubled times, many times life is involuntary.I thought that after Zhang Xiu came back, he would bring stability to Ni Yang.But what they didn't expect was that their northern gun king was defeated and surrendered to Wen Han's command.

To the people of Niyang, Wen Han is of course not as friendly as Zhang Xiu from the Northland. The Northland is Zhang Xiu's hometown after all, and Zhang Xiu will naturally treat the people in the Northland kindly.As for Wen Han, an outsider, what kind of wind and rain will be caused in the north, the people have not yet known, so it is inevitable that they will be uneasy and uneasy.

After Wen Han entered Niyang City, he strictly ordered the soldiers under his command not to disturb the people, and at the same time ordered Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er to appease the people in the city. Do your part to appease the common people, these wealthy families are well-known in Niyang, if they help, Niyang will soon be stable.And these wealthy people have always focused on the interests of the family. It is a foregone conclusion that Wen Han became the master of the Northland. They should sell well, so as to win Wen Han's favor and stabilize their family's interests.

With the help of Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, and the rich families, Ni Yang's resistance to Wen Han gradually weakened. In addition, Wen Han's soldiers and horses did not disturb the people, and the uneasiness of the people gradually disappeared, and they began to accept Wen Han as Ni Yang City. lord of facts.Niyang is a county in the Northland, and [-]% of the wealthy families in the Northland are gathered here, so as long as the situation in Niyang is stable, it will not be a big problem to recover other cities and counties in the Northland.Regarding the recovery of other cities and counties in the north, Wen Han handed it over to Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu. As for him, while preparing for the battle in Niyang, he sent several scout teams to inquire about Feng Yi's battle situation.

If we want to talk about Feng Yi's battle situation, we have to start from half a month ago.

But Li Cui said that in order to cope with Feng Yi's upcoming battle, he wanted to release Li Ru from prison.However, Li Ru was disheartened by Li Cui and flatly refused.After Xu Rong's persuasion, Li Ru still insisted on doing so. Xu Rong had no choice but to reciprocate to Li Cui, saying that Li Ru had contracted a cold and was bedridden.After Li reminded, he just sneered and didn't expose Xu Rong's lie.

Later, Lü Bu's army arrived, and at that time Li Cui had already gathered [-] troops in Linjin County, Fengyi County. First, he ordered Xu Rong to lead [-] soldiers to fight twice with Lv Bu's army in the Gaoyang Mountains outside Linjin City, so as to contain Lü Bu's army. The army bought time for Linjin, rushed to build the urn city, dug deep ditches and high fortifications and other defensive measures.

Xu Rong was the most skilled general under Dong Zhuo in the past. In the two battles, he formed a defensive formation to meet the enemy. Although Lu Jun had Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other peerless generals who charged into the formation, they were still unable to break through Xu Rong's defensive formation. In the two battles, both sides They are all at a stalemate, and each loses troops and horses.Afterwards, Xu Rong insisted on delaying Lu Bu's army for ten days, and received a secret report from Linjin, knowing that Linjin's defense measures had been completed, so he withdrew his army at night and returned to Linjin.

During the retreat, Xu Rong feared that Lv Bu's army would come after him, so he set up two ambushes in the Gaoyang Mountains, but both of them were seen through by Lv Bu's army commander, Chen Gongtai. Five thousand Li soldiers.Even so, Xu Rong's army was able to successfully retreat back to Linjin.After Lu Jun rushed out of the Gaoyang Mountains, he set up camp ten miles away from Linjin, preparing to attack Linjin.

After Xu Rong returned to Linjin City, he reported all the battle reports to Li and hurried to Li Ru's mansion.In Li Ru's mansion, Li Cui's soldiers and horses are guarding all around, monitoring Li Ru's every move.After Xu Rong entered Li Ru's mansion, he came to Li Ru's house, shouted back the soldiers guarding him, and then entered the room to see Li Ru.

"General Xu don't need to say too much, Li urged this person to be narrow-minded and self-willed. I have served me loyally, but he treats me like this. I am completely heartbroken about this person, and I will never plot a plan for him again!"

Li Ru was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed. Although he didn't open his eyes, he knew who was coming when he heard the familiar steady footsteps.

"Military Master, do you know that the invading force is the villain Lu Feng calling first!?"

For Li Ru, the three words Lu Fengxian had a special meaning. Li Ru suddenly opened his eyes, and the eyes burst out with a cold light of yin and prey!

"Lu!! Feng!! First!!! Xu Rong why didn't you tell me earlier!!!"

Xu Rong was aggrieved by Li Ru's sudden drink. He thought to himself that when he came to invite Li Ru, he rarely had the chance to speak.What's more, the soldiers of Wen Han and Lu Bu attacked at that time, Xu Rong didn't know who would attack Feng Yi.

However, Xu Rong didn't want to get too entangled in such trivial matters, so he said quickly after calming down a bit.

"Military Master, the enemy is at hand, I hope that the military master will put aside his prejudice against Li Zhiran, help him, and avenge Dong Xiangguo's tragic death!"

Li Ru's eyes seemed to be filled with billowing black light, and he stood up abruptly.Everything in his life can be said to have been destroyed by this Lu Bu, and his hatred was so deep that it went straight to the marrow and blood.Li Ru never wanted to devour his flesh and blood and strip his muscles and bones at all times!

"As long as you can kill Lu Fengxian! What prejudices and humiliations can't let go! Xu Rong, what's the current situation?"

"Lv Bu's soldiers and horses are currently setting up a stronghold ten miles away from Linjin City. I think that after he has rectified his troops and horses, he will attack the city soon!"

"How many soldiers and horses did the villain Lu Bu bring, and how is the defense in the city?"

"Lü Bu brought [-] rebels. Half a month ago, the last general led the army to fight against him several times in Gaoyang Mountain. Each of them was injured. Currently, there are about [-] soldiers in his army. As for the defense of the city, it is currently facing the Jin Dynasty. An urn city has been built to defend against the enemy, with deep ditches and high fortifications dug under the city, and arrows, rolling stones, logs and other defensive objects are all complete. If Lu Bu wants to attack by force, we will definitely give him a head-on blow!"

"Good! Li Zhiran hasn't lost his mind yet, so this arrangement is very appropriate."

Li Ru nodded slightly. After walking a few steps, he fell into silence, and asked again after a while.
