Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 244 Surrender and Retreat (Easter Egg)

In 229 A.D., the seventh year of Han Emperor Liu Chan Jianxing, the third year of Wei Emperor Cao Rui Taihe, the first year of Wu Emperor Sun Quan Huanglong, May.

In the early morning, the flags at Shuanghekou were unfurled, the sound of bugles and drums resounded through the mountain road, and wisps of cooking smoke wafted from the Han barracks at the foot of the mountain, more than double the usual amount of food.

Jia Si was naked from the upper body, with a white scarf around his head, holding a saber in his hand, and slowly descended the mountain.Holding their respective seals on the left and right, followed closely behind.

A moment later, Jia Si and dozens of other lieutenants of the Wei Army walked to the foot of the mountain. They saw Han Yulin cavalry on both sides holding Han halberds, sergeants beating drums, and the majestic Han emperor in armor waiting in front of him.

Jia Si walked forward slowly, knelt down and held his sword over his head, and said respectfully: "Jia Si, the guilty minister, doesn't know the number of heavens, and he deserves death for helping the tyrant and attacking the Han. The army consisted of 51 people, including 21 generals and schools, who belonged to the Han Dynasty, hoping that the country would accept it, and let us make up for the past losses by making up for our sins.”

Liu Chan stepped forward to take the sword first, then helped Jia Si up, and said comfortingly: "You generals were born in the Wei realm, and there is nothing you can do to serve against Wei. Now you have abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. Don't blame the past, don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, although Liu Chan looked down on Er Wuzi, in order to win the hearts of the army, he took off the cloak behind him and put it on Jia Si to win people's hearts, and said in a warm voice: "The humidity is quite heavy in the morning, General Jia must not catch cold. , to injure the body."

Jia Si cried bitterly, and said: "How dare we, the guilty ministers, accept such a great favor from His Majesty. Your Majesty's benevolence cannot be repaid by your descendants. I am willing to lead the horse and fall for your Majesty."

Liu Chan smiled and didn't care, but said politely to Jia Si: "The general is brave and heroic in the army. How can I let the general be overqualified and do the job of guarding. In today's troubled times, the general should make meritorious deeds. Founding the country and carrying on the family, living up to the general's great talent."

Just kidding, let this [-]-year-old boy lead the horse and kick him, and he won't know when he will die.And these two or five youngsters are just trying to test their own meaning, after all, no one wants to surrender, and the treatment will not be as good as before.

After a pause, Liu Chan helped Jia Si up, and said with a smile: "Jia Qing has now abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and I named you Fengyi Zhonglang General, and entered into the Marquis of Tingting. All generals have their own titles and rewards, don't worry!"

Jia Si used to be General Zhechong, he was ranked fifth in the state of Wei, and Fengyi Zhonglang was ranked fourth, and he was also appointed Marquis of Tingting. It can be said that Liu Chan did not treat Jia Si badly.After all, there are very few feudal lords in the Han Dynasty now. Except for those with outstanding military exploits and political achievements, only those with special meanings will be rewarded.

For example, last year the Zhao family in Jincheng returned to the Han Dynasty, and the patriarch Zhao Chengjin was granted the title of Marquis of Ting of Han to show encouragement; He is the Marquis of Han Changting.

Jia Si, who knew the inside story, naturally beamed with joy, and quickly praised: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, the guilty minister is terrified."

Liu Chan waved his hand, and said to Jia Si and the 21 surrendered generals, "Everyone who is against the family members of the Wei family, I will send envoys to negotiate, and the two countries will definitely exchange family members, so that you can work with peace of mind."

In the early years of Taihe (227), when Zhuge Liang led troops to station in Hanzhong, Yao Jing and Zheng Ta, the rebel generals of the Han Dynasty, committed negligence and were dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's punishment, so they led more than [-] subordinates to surrender to Cao Wei.But their family members still stayed in the big man, and Liu Chan's family members who exchanged with Cao Wei were the family members of these rebel generals.

This is also why Liu Chan handled Li Yan and Liu Yan safely before this battle, because he was worried that someone would follow the example of Yao Jing and Zheng He who would betray Han and return to Wei.

Hearing this, all the people present knelt down and worshiped, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, I will wait for nine deaths!"

Liu Chan helped everyone, and said benevolently: "Please, gentlemen, this is human nature, there is no need to do this. I have ordered the soldiers to cook and cook, and everyone please enter the camp as soon as possible to eat the court food."

So caring, thoughtful, and asking for warmth.How could the 22 generals present, including Jia Si, not be overwhelmed by the benevolence of the emperor of Han!
The general bowed his hands and cupped his fists to salute, and said: "Your Majesty, I have not made an inch of merit, so I dare not accept such a great favor from Your Majesty. The soldiers under your command are still in the camp, and I will lead the soldiers down the mountain first, and then go to court."

Wang Ren also said positively: "Your Majesty, our army still has [-] armors, [-] bows, and [-] swords and spears. I can assist the generals in the army to process supplies before eating."

Liu Chan laughed and said, "Shan, I have prepared seven thousand soldiers' food in the camp, and the returned soldiers can eat when they go down the mountain. As for you, I will have a banquet in the camp at noon today. You must go to the banquet and pay for it." .”

"No!" Everyone responded.

After everyone left, Liu Chan also met Lu Yi, the prefect of Hanzhong, who had come to pass the edict on the bank of the river.

Liu Chan took a few glances at Lu Yi, and said, "Ji Yang has become much thinner these days, he still needs to pay attention to his body!"

Lu Yi followed Liu Chan's footsteps and said, "Perhaps Hanzhong is busy with government affairs recently, and the fighting will stop in a few days, so I should be in better health!"

Liu Chan glanced at Lu Yi, and said with a smile: "Ji Yangneng said that, it seems that the Prime Minister and General Wei should be fine!"

Hearing this, Lu Yi was full of joy, stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Prime Minister has sent the right general to defeat Xia Houru, the governor of Jingzhou, and then the right general moved the people of Nanxiang County to settle in Hanzhong. Now the prime minister and the prefect of Ju are standing firm Go out, and face Wei General Sima Yi across the Han River."

"Wei General Zhang He invaded Baozhong City in Hanzhong. General Wei (Zhao Yun) led his army to resist. Zhang He attacked for several days but failed to achieve results. The nearby Han soldiers gradually arrived in Baozhong City. Perhaps in a few days, Zhang He may die due to lack of food. Retire." Lu Yi said.

Liu Chan looked at the endless stream of water in the Western Han Dynasty, and added: "Fei Yao died in battle, Chen Cangdao's army surrendered, and now the Sixth Army has retreated to the fourth. At present, I don't know how the battle between General Zuo (Wei Yan) and General Cheqi (Huang Quan) is going?"

Before Liu Chan finished speaking, Dong Yun ran towards Liu Chan ecstatically with the battle report in his hand, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the left general and the former general won great victory in Huangzhong and conquered Xiping County."

Hearing this, Liu Chan was overjoyed, stepped forward to greet him, and asked, "Xiu Zhao, tell me in detail."

Dong Yun pointed at the battle report, panting heavily, and said: "Your Majesty, General Zuo led the army in Yule and broke through Guo Huai, beheaded 400 people and captured 61 people; the former general defeated Dailing and beheaded 61 people." level, and captured [-] people. A total of [-] levels were beheaded, and [-] people were captured. General Zuo took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured Xiping County."

After receiving the battle report, Liu Chan was so excited that he couldn't help walking up and down, laughing loudly: "Wei Wenchang is really my hero general. In this way, our army has completely occupied the Hehuang Valley, and Liangzhou is a good place to go!"

Dong Yun and Lu Yi also nodded their heads repeatedly, their faces full of joy.

Liu Chan calmed down slightly, and analyzed: "Now that Fei Yao has died in battle, I have forced Chen Cangdao's army to surrender; the right general defeated Xia Houru, the governor of Jingzhou, and attacked Nanxiang County; the left general and the former general defeated Guo Huai, the governor of Liangzhou, and Dai Ling, the general of Wei. .In this battle, the State of Wei raised 200,000 troops to attack our big Han. The troops were divided into six groups, and three of them have already retreated. Against Wei, almost one state’s soldiers were lost, and the losses were heavy. Cao Zhen’s retreat is not far away!"

After a pause, Liu Chan ordered: "Xiu Zhao ordered all the tribes to settle in various places temporarily, and later hand it over to the governor of Qinzhou to arrange the distribution of counties to enrich the population of Qinzhou."

"By the way, Xiu Zhao spread the battle report to all the territories of the Han Dynasty, so as to reassure the common people, scholars, and officials."

"No!" Dong Yun agreed.

Liu Chan returned to the topic, and said to Lu Yi beside him: "There are 7000 soldiers in Chen Cangdao, and Wudu County's military supplies are difficult to supply. The [-] people still need to be under the jurisdiction of Lu Qing temporarily, and they will be handed over to the governor of Qinzhou after the war. It’s time for him to make specific arrangements for discussions.”

"No!" Lu Yi clapped his hands in response.

Sure enough, as Liu Chan said, Guo Huai was defeated and retreated to Jincheng County; Fei Yao died in battle, and Jia Si led his army to surrender; Jingzhou Inspector Xia Houru was defeated, causing the Shu army to invade Nanxiang County.When many battle reports spread in Luoyang, Luoyang was shaken, Cao Rui was shocked, and hurriedly called important officials into the palace to discuss the war.

"Han Ji Xing Han Gong Family": In the seventh year of Jianxing, Wei Hussar General Sima Yi's army of [-] attacked Wu Township from Shangyong, Jingzhou Inspector Xiahou Confucian Army of [-], went back to Han River to attack Xiguan, and became Wu Township.The prime minister had [-] troops, divided and attacked them, ordered Ju to defend Wuxiang, and sent Wu squad to attack Wei Xia Houru at night to break it.

"Xing Han Gong Que Dui" (also known as: "Zhong Zu Xing Han Gong Wen Dui")
Zhongzu said: "How about [-] Sima Yi's troops committing crimes against Ankang?"

Liang said: "Sima Yi, relying on himself to know the soldiers, said that no one can fight against the big man. I ask the teacher to break it with [-] people."

Zhongzu said: "There are few soldiers and the land is narrow, how can we deal with it?"

Liang said: "The minister will occupy it with the regular soldiers, and the strange soldiers will break it."

Zhongzu said: "Qing captured Meng Huo seven times, and he became a regular soldier. Why are you talking about strange soldiers?"

Liang said: "Be right first and then be strange. When Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao regarded it as righteous. It is strange to attack and destroy Wuchao."
