Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 113 The whereabouts of Zhang Yang are known

Zhang Wang stabilized his official position by cuckolding, and Liu Ming did not pursue his crime of losing the city.

If in peaceful times, Zhang Wang would be considered a good official, not corrupt, and he would still give porridge to the people.

After Zhang Wang happily left, Xu Huang was brought in.

Xu Huang did not show his strong character, but fell to his knees with a plop.

This is a bit beyond Liu Ming's expectation. Aren't famous generals in history always willing to die rather than kneel when captured? Why did he kneel down before he could say anything?

After thinking about it, I was right, he was the emperor, unlike any other princes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Liu Ming said in a deep voice: "Xu Gongming, are you asking for surrender?"

"The common people know that the crime of conspiracy and rebellion is absolutely unforgivable, so they dare not ask for surrender." Xu Huang raised his head and said, "Before I die, I beg your Majesty to treat the prisoners of the Baibo Army kindly. They are all His Majesty's subjects. It is just natural and man-made disasters. In fact, It was because they didn’t have enough to eat, didn’t have enough clothes to wear, and couldn’t survive anymore that they were forced to rebel and plunder.”

"Gong Ming is confused." Liu Ming laughed, stood up and personally untied Xu Huang, saying, "I can treat other prisoners well, so how can I kill you?

"I have passed down a decree. As long as they are willing to surrender to the imperial court, they will be pardoned. The old, young and disabled will also be given money and food, and they will be allowed to return to their hometowns. Those who are willing to follow me to put down the rebellion will naturally be treated equally with my soldiers and will never be discriminated against. "

Xu Huang was inexplicably moved when he saw that the emperor personally untied him and promised him to treat the prisoners well. He also remembered what Zhang Liao said to him. His Majesty really wanted to recruit him. At that time, he touched his head to the ground and bowed, saying: "The guilty will be punished. The ox becomes the horse to repay His Majesty's kindness."

Liu Ming knew that Xu Huang was unwilling to commit himself to a thief, but he was still willing to serve the court.

He knew from the information he had in his previous life that when Emperor Xian fled eastward, it was under Xu Huang's persuasion that Yang Feng took the initiative to lead his troops to greet Emperor Xian and resist Li Jue, which made his status soar.

After all, Xu Huang is not a rebellious person at heart.

Therefore, without any trouble, Xu Huang surrendered as soon as the rope was loosened.

"Although most of Baibo's army in Pinggao City surrendered, there are still a few who have a deep misunderstanding of the officers and soldiers and are unwilling to surrender. We also ask Gongming to come and persuade." Liu Mingdao, "I will make you Sima. When Baibo surrenders, Select their elites to form an army separately and train them. I look forward to Gongming giving me the elite soldiers I have trained."

When Xu Huang heard this, he was overjoyed. Not only was he appointed an official, but he was also allowed to still command the soldiers. This showed that his majesty had absolute trust in him. He immediately expressed his stance, "Thank you for your kindness. I will die to repay the favor."

In fact, according to Liu Ming's understanding, although Xu Huang's military strength was good, in the early stage, his ability to command troops and his military strategy and intelligence were average.

Later, after a long military career, he gradually matured.

This can be seen from the combat effectiveness and formation of the Baibo Army he currently commands, but now, if he wants to bring the Baibo Army back, he can only let Xu Huang win back the hearts of the people.

And treating Xu Huang favorably is also a good example for other Baibo Army generals.

Xu Huang just did what he said, and immediately went to persuade those hard-core people.

Lu Bu curled his lips and disapproved of the emperor's favor to his defeated general, and said: "Your Majesty, I am asking for an order, and I am willing to lead a sentry to relieve the siege of Huai County!"

Huai County is the county seat of Hanoi. At this moment, it is besieged by Li Le, the Bai Bo army, and the situation is critical.

"Good!" Liu Ming praised, his subordinates were fighting to be the first to make contributions, and the boss would naturally be happy, "I wonder how many people are needed to be the first?"

"One thousand cavalry is enough!" Lu Bu said proudly.

Lu Bu paired with cavalry would be a terrifying new force.

"I will hand over the Northern Army's Yueqi Camp to Fengxian's leadership. Don't underestimate the enemy and be careful along the way." Liu Ming picked up an arrow and said, "Zhu Gongwei is the governor of Hanoi. This time he will go to Huai County with Fengxian. If the crisis is relieved, , Gongwei will coordinate matters such as appeasing people's livelihood, stabilizing the local area, and raising food and grass in Huai County."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we are waiting for good news!" Lu Bu took the order arrow, turned and left. "Wei Chen accepts the order." Zhu Jun also agreed and followed Lu Bu out.

With Lu Bu's powerful fighting ability, going to fight Li Le's stragglers is really like fighting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft cannons. However, it is necessary for Lu Bu to perform appropriately to increase his weight in the minds of the courtiers.

At this moment, a famous scout suddenly ran in panting and said: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened."

"Why are you panicking? Say it quickly!" Liu Ming shouted. He had just taken Pinggao City and the enemy was frightened by the news. How could anything serious happen?

The scout said: "Gaixun was escorting grain and grass. He was besieged by Baibo bandits just after crossing the Yellow River. The situation is critical. Please ask for rescue!"

As the saying goes, there is no greater success than rescuing a driver, and no trick is greater than starvation.

Once food and grass are cut off, the general's morale will be greatly confused and his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, the White Wave Army was so difficult to deal with. No wonder they were able to capture Hedong and Hanoi so quickly.

"Wenyuan, quickly lead our troops to rescue Gai Xun." Liu Ming did not dare to delay, picked up an order and handed it to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao knew that the matter was urgent, took the order in hand, turned around and ran over.

Liu Ming thought about it, but still felt uneasy. Guarding the grain and grass was different from the two armies confronting each other, and it was different from fighting each other in the field. The key was to guard the grain and grass without losing it or being destroyed by the other side.

Judging from yesterday's battle, although the Baibo Army has average combat strength, it has a large number of personnel. If you are not careful, the opponent will take advantage of it.

"Mengde listens to the order!" Liu Ming picked up another order arrow and handed it to Cao Cao.

"The general is here!" Cao Cao stepped forward.

"Food and grass are very important. Please Meng Deye lead his troops to rescue the food without any mistakes." Liu Ming said and handed the command arrow to Cao Cao.

"I have the order!" Cao Cao took the order arrow and hurriedly turned around and left.

Everyone also went to prepare their troops and horses to prepare for emergencies.

Liu Ming originally wanted to hold a small celebration banquet, but now that Gai Xun was attacked, he had no intention of celebrating.

As soon as the food and wine were served, Shi A came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the spies sent to Montenegro have returned the news. Zhang Yang is indeed in the hands of the Montenegro thieves, but he did not suffer any injustice. Instead, he surrendered to the Montenegro general Sui Gu."

"Zhang Yang surrendered to the thieves?" This was beyond Liu Ming's expectation. "Is it just him, or is there someone else?"

Shi Ahen reported: "According to the secret agent, five people were originally captured along with Zhang Yang, but for some reason these five people gradually disappeared."

"Have you ever heard anything Zhang Yang said or did anything unusual?" Liu Ming asked.

"I haven't heard anything about this," Shi Adao said. "The secret agent said that Zhang Yang seems to be relatively passive. He is not very interested in the plundering, fighting and other actions of the Black Mountain Army. He hides when he can."

Liu Ming thought for a while, he must get this Zhang Yang back, and he cannot let him lose control, so he said: "Let the secret agent get close to Zhang Yang, and tell him that I am waiting for him in Hanoi and let him come back quickly!"
