Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

official way.

Wei Zhu was in panic.

Wei generals Xu Shang and Lu Jian led thousands of remaining soldiers to run in a hurry, not daring to rest for a moment.

"Why don't the Han dogs chase Chang Diao? They are all coming for us. Damn it!"

Xu Shang was very angry.

I wanted to ambush them on the way, but I saw the Han soldiers' flags and clouds moving, and more than ten thousand troops came like a huge wave.

Xu Shang and Lu Jian were frightened on the spot and ran away. They no longer dared to take advantage of the danger and set up an ambush. They just wanted to reach Rangxian County as soon as possible.

Lu Jian looked bitter: "Maybe, Rang County is the farthest from Xinye."

The distance from Xinye to Rangxian is twenty miles longer than the distance from Xinye to Anzhong and Suiyang.

Don't underestimate these twenty miles.

"Hey, you said it makes me feel embarrassed to swing my knife. People can eat people with short mouths."

however.

Seeing that the Han soldiers were not pursuing him for the time being, Xu Shang guessed that the Han soldiers were resting and cooking.

"Report!"

The soldiers of Wei were like this, and the soldiers of Han were like this.

Come here for lunch, right?
What frightened Xu Shang and Lu Jian even more was that the ones who came were still Wudang Feijun!

A group of flying soldiers were discussing excitedly while eating.

Xu Shang said harshly: "That is better than dying on the way. There are two thousand soldiers in Rang County, and there are also two thousand soldiers in Champion County in the north of Rang County."

The aroma of rice fills the air.

"Take this opportunity to make rice."

"After we take Rangcheng, we will give you money to buy food. We have short mouths for eating people, and they have short hands for taking people. We don't owe each other."

Just as the aroma of rice wafted up, the scouts returned in a hurry.

"We can't leave like this anymore, otherwise you and I will both die on the way."

Xu Shang and Lu Jian decisively mounted their horses and called on the soldiers to rush to Rang County.

Morale was already low, and the newly prepared meals were snatched away by Han soldiers. A group of people were tired and hungry, and some even dug grass roots to satisfy their hunger.

"We are still thirty miles away from Rang County, and the sergeant is simply not in this state."

"Dig an extra half of the stove to scare the Han dogs."

In order to confuse the Han soldiers, Xu Shang also used the strategy of increasing stoves.

A normal march would only be thirty miles a day.

Just cooked through.

"That's right!"

"General, the Han dog is here!"

"If you don't give it, how can you have the nerve to wield the knife?"

"The soldiers of the Pseudo-Wei Dynasty are actually quite good people. They know that we are hungry and cook specially for us to eat."

Xu Shang and Lu Jian didn't want to experience it a second time without being able to use the flying army's crossbow arrows!
Confronting a group of Han soldiers with one crossbow and ten-shot Zhuge Liannu on an empty official road is not facing the enemy, it is asking for death!
Wang Ping led Wudang Feijun to charge and kill for a while, then he ordered his troops to retreat.

The city of Rangxian County is not small. In the past, Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji was shot dead by a stray arrow because he attacked Rangxian County.

The purpose of the Han soldiers was simple and direct, to defeat Xu Shang and Lu Jian before they returned to the city of Rang County.

After having enough food and soup, Wang Ping let the soldiers rest for half an hour.

The Feijun are all vigorous and vigorous, but the Wei soldiers are pitiful!

"Go quickly!"

The strong frustration made the faces of these two fake Wei Xiao generals full of sadness.

A person has no energy if he doesn’t eat, and it’s impossible to run non-stop for nearly a hundred miles.

"Really?"

If Xu Shang and Lu Jian were allowed to return to Rangxian City, it would be difficult for the Han soldiers chasing after them to capture Rangxian City.

Xu Shang and Lu Jian's expressions changed drastically.

While waiting to investigate in the rear, he ordered the troops to bury pots and make rice.

After the soldiers regained their energy, Wang Ping issued the military order to pursue again.

The same is true for Xu Shang and Lu Jian.

Xu Shang's eyes were fierce.

Lu Jian lowered his voice: "But if we give up the infantry, it will be difficult to resist with the troops left behind in Rang County."

This could not have come at a better time!

"Transfer two thousand soldiers from Champion County to Rang County, plus a thousand cavalry from you and me, it will be enough to resist the Han dogs!"

"If you don't leave, you can stay and end the relationship."

Lu Jian was speechless.

You ran away and I broke up?

Do I have the word "idiot" written on my face?

"Let's go together and let the infantry break up the rear." Lu Jian also became fierce and prepared to give up the thousands of infantry.

Immediately.

Xu Shang and Lu Jian summoned the generals and issued the final military order to the infantry general.

Although Xu Shang and Lu Jian's reason was that the cavalry returned to the city first to move reinforcements, there were not many fools who could reach the rank of general in the army.

Immediately, a junior high school officer raised a question: "We have low prestige and are not familiar with the art of war. How can we break up the rear to face the enemy when the two generals are gone?"

Lu Jian snorted coldly, chopped down the questioning principal with a knife, and shouted coldly: "Military orders are military orders! Are you teaching me how to do things?"

All the generals and commanders were frightened, and no one dared to be the leader anymore.

Lu Jian played a bad role, and Xu Shang immediately turned a white face: "Everyone, it's not that the two of us are unwilling to leave one person behind."

"I'm going to Champion County to mobilize troops. General Lu is going to bring soldiers from Rang County to rescue you."

"If you return alone, you won't be able to do anything else."

"Although the current situation is critical, it is also a good opportunity for you to make contributions."

“We must put the overall situation first!”

Both intimidation and inducement, Xu Shang and Lu Jian had mastered this trick.

Although the generals were reluctant, they could not refute and could only comply.

Seeing that the infantry generals were intimidated, Xu Shang and Lu Jian exchanged glances and led the cavalry away.

When Wang Ping arrived with his troops, he only saw a group of infantry arrayed on the official road.

"Did he run away, or was he lying in ambush nearby?"

Wang Ping glanced at the terrain to the left and right, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

The location chosen by Xu Shang and Lu Jian was suitable for hiding ambushes.

Obviously.

In order to escape smoothly, Xu Shang and Lu Jian did not just leave the infantry behind.

Liu Yin suggested: "It is better to surrender first. If Wei Gou has an ambush, he will not surrender."

Wang Ping nodded and agreed to Liu Yin's proposal.

Liu Yin led a group of flying troops forward and shouted to the Wei soldiers: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty, is benevolent and does not want to cause more casualties."

"If you are willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, you can avoid being killed; if you are stubborn and resist, you will have to ask for credit with your heads."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wei soldiers began to commotion.

Immediately, a small school shouted loudly: "I am willing to surrender!"

The generals were shocked.

"Zhang Erniu, you are crazy! As a general of the Wei Dynasty, how can you surrender?" A Wei general shouted in horror.

At the end of the marriage, I am most afraid of disunity.

If someone takes the lead, others will inevitably follow suit.

Zhang Erniu shouted: "My eldest brother was killed by Lu Jian's dog thief, why can't I surrender?"

The generals were silent.

The primary school student who was killed by Lu Jian to scare the monkeys was Zhang Erniu's eldest brother Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Erniu stepped forward angrily: "I am willing to surrender, I only hope to kill the dog thief Lu Jian!"

Wang Ping did not believe Zhang Erniu simply because he asked for surrender, but asked Zhang Erniu to drop his weapon and approach.

Zhang Erniu was not afraid, threw his weapon and knelt down in front of Wang Ping to ask for surrender.

"Where did Lu Jian go?" Wang Ping's voice was cold, which made Zhang Er Newton feel pressured.

Zhang Erniu did not dare to hide anything: "Half an hour ago, two thieves, Lu Jian and Xu Shang, asked me to wait for the infantry to retreat, and then they led the cavalry back to the city of Rang County."

"The reason was that he wanted to go back and bring reinforcements. My eldest brother wanted to leave one person behind from the two dog thieves, but he was killed by the dog thieves Lu Jian."

"The villain guesses that the two thieves Lu Jian and Xu Shang will definitely not come back."

Wang Ping's voice was low and cold: "You talk too much!"

Zhang Erniu's tone was stagnant, and cold sweat flowed from his back.

"Mount the repeating crossbow!"

Wang Ping didn't ask any more questions, and directly asked the troops to take out the Zhuge Liannu and aimed at the Wei army's infantry.

"Ten breaths, if you don't surrender, you will die!" A cold military order was issued.

The four flying armies shouted in unison: "Ten breaths, if you don't surrender, you will die!"

Wang Ping's goal was to capture the city of Rang County, not to waste time with a group of infantry here.

Now that Xu Shang and Lu Jian have run away, a group of infantry without a leader must either surrender or die, leaving no room for bargaining.

"Three breaths!"

"Six breaths!"

"Nine breaths!"

The powerful oppressive force of the Feijun defeated the psychological defense of the Wei soldiers.

General Wei, who was already resentful because of Xu Shang and Lu Jian's abandonment, threw down their weapons one after another.

The generals and generals have been demoted, and ordinary Wei soldiers will not persist.

As soon as ten breaths passed, thousands of Wei soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

"Within one hour, anyone who gets up without permission will die! Anyone who runs away without permission will die! Anyone who takes a weapon without permission will die! Killing those who disobey the order will be rewarded."

"In an hour, someone will prepare soup and rice for you."

Wang Ping's cold and loud voice sounded on the quiet avenue.

All the officers and men of the Wei army were frightened.

After Wang Ping issued the military order, he directly ignored the Wei army soldiers who knelt down and surrendered, and led the flying army to continue chasing towards the city of Rangxian County.

The remaining Wei army officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion.

"The Han soldiers just left like that?"

"Then can we escape?"

"Escape? Do you want to die?"

"The Han soldiers are not here, how could they die?"

"Try it and see how many people want to take advantage of your head!"

The human heart is the most unpredictable.

Wang Ping just gave a few simple military orders to stop the thousands of Wei soldiers from taking any rash action.

No one wants to die!

No one wants to be someone else's success.

You can just wait an hour to eat soup and rice, so why take the risk of escaping.

Where can a group of abandoned Wei soldiers escape to?

An hour later.

Zhuge Qiao led his troops to arrive.

Seeing Wei soldiers kneeling on the ground, Zhuge Qiao's eyes were a little surprised.

Surrounding the Wei soldiers, Zhuge Qiao gathered the Wei generals together and asked about the reason.

After learning that it was Wang Ping's military order, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but laugh: "General Chao Kou and Tinghou Wang Ping are also able to use tricks. It's gratifying."

"Generals, please don't slack off from now on."

"When Wang Ping served under Cao Cao, he couldn't read a single Chinese character."

"It has only been four years since I surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Not only can I read, write, and use tactics, but I can also independently command five unworthy flying armies!"

"The soil and water support the people. If you join the puppet Wei, you will be stupid, but if you join the Han Dynasty, you will be wise. This is true!" All the generals agreed one after another.

Zhuge Qiao seemed to be encouraging the generals, but he was actually speaking to General Wei.

The young general exclaimed: "The man who independently commanded five thousand unworthy flying troops was only demoted to a general? He was granted the title of Marquis of Ting in just four years?"

A general who has surrendered to command 2,000 men must have a military governor, let alone commanding 5,000 men independently, and the title of marquis is even more delusional.

Just four years after Wang Ping surrendered, he was able to independently command 5,000 elite soldiers and was granted the title of Marquis of Ting. It was like a fantasy!
Zhuge Qiao smiled warmly: "Your Majesty employs people with both virtue and talent."

"As long as you are virtuous and talented, how can His Majesty be stingy about the generous salary of a high-ranking official?"

"The actions of the kings and ministers of the Han Dynasty: firstly, for peace in the world, secondly, for the people to live in peace, and thirdly, for leaving a name in history."

"If you all want to be like Wang Ping and become a general and be named a marquis, you can voluntarily join the army."

"If you want to take off your armor and return to the fields, I will also ask Your Majesty to allocate land to you."

"There is no need to rush to express your position. You must think carefully about major life events so that you will not regret it in the future."

"Before you make a choice, I think you should fill your stomach first."

"The ancients often said: 'If you have enough food and clothing, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.' This is the truth."

Zhuge Qiao didn't say empty words, he said that if these soldiers were allowed to fill their stomachs, there would be no ambiguity.

It's not just about making rice, it's also about killing chickens and sheep.

When the aroma of rice and meat wafted up, the appetites of all the soldiers were instantly aroused, and they stared at the source of the aroma.

All the surrendered soldiers also understood: It would be good if they could eat. Don’t even think about eating meat and soup.

Who will give Jiang soldiers meat and soup?

however.

When everyone was given a bowl of broth, the eyes of all the soldiers were stunned!
Not only is there broth, there is meat in the broth!

Although there is less meat, it is still meat!
It is unheard of even for a general who has been demoted to be a soldier to give him meat and soup!

Jiang Zu, who had been hungry for a long time, had no other thought in his mind except eating!
"I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring many chickens and sheep. The meat in each person's bowl was only enough to fill the gap between teeth."

"I failed to entertain you well!"

"When I defeat Cao Ren, I will treat you all to a feast."

Zhuge Qiao's "sincerity" moved the soldiers even more.

Check it out!

This is the style of a general!

Unlike Xu Shang and Lu Jian, who usually refused to share some of the soup with the big fish and meat, and even ran away without forgetting to continue to squeeze the sergeants under their command.

Behind Zhuge Qiao.

Ma Zhong, Jufu, Zhang Yi and other generals who originally belonged to the Wudang Feijun took it for granted.

Deng Kai, Wen Bu, Fan You, Wu Dang, Zeng Xia and other Jingzhou generals looked with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

Once Zhuge Qiao was given this benefit, he no longer had to send sergeants alone to watch over the surrendered soldiers.

Rather than surrendering soldiers, Zhuge Qiao regarded these Wei soldiers as ordinary soldiers and civilians in Nanxiang County.

The Han soldiers came here to rescue this group of suffering soldiers and people, not to oppress these people as slaves.

After all the surrendered soldiers were well fed, several generals came together: "We have received great kindness from the general and have nothing to repay. We are willing to be the first to die and capture Rangcheng for the general!"

I thought Zhuge Qiao would agree, but unexpectedly Zhuge Qiao shook his head slightly: "There are your brothers and parents in the city of Rang County. How can I let you attack the city?"

"Your Majesty often says: Killing his father and using his son, killing his brother and using his younger brother, is neither benevolent nor righteous. It is not the behavior of a benevolent person!"

These fake Wei generals have never heard of this concept. It is common for brothers and parents to kill each other on the battlefield, and what everyone pursues is just to survive.

At this moment, listening to Zhuge Qiao's words, I couldn't help but feel a little more yearning for Liu Bei, and also a little more ashamed.

Seeing the shame and yearning on the faces of these generals, Zhuge Qiao changed the subject: "Since you are sincere, why not find a compromise."

"When we arrive at Rang County, I will not attack the city immediately; within three days, you can go to the bottom of the city of Rang County and call your brothers and parents to come out of the city and surrender."

"In three days, if I accidentally kill your parents and brothers while attacking the city, please forgive me for my difficulty."

"Excuse me, please, and convey it to all the soldiers for me."

soon.

Zhuge Qiao's promise spread throughout the crowd.

In gratitude for Zhuge Qiao's benevolence and righteousness, all the surrendered soldiers promised to call on their brothers and parents to surrender.

Zhuge Qiao also thoughtfully distributed tents to the surrendered soldiers, allowing them to rest for a few hours to regain their energy before heading to Rangcheng.

In addition to taking away the weapons, Zhuge Qiao also left three days of food and rice for the surrendering soldiers.

After they were far away, Wenbu couldn't help but ask: "General, aren't you afraid that some of you who surrender due to power will run back to look for Cao Ren?"

Zhuge Qiao chuckled: "Those who know how to leave cannot be kept, and those who know how to stay cannot leave."

"Forcibly keeping those who want to leave, I have to worry about those people secretly inciting the soldiers to surrender."

"But those who stay will be the key to my rapid victory over Rang County."

"The best way to attack a city is to attack the heart."

Zhuge Qiao was actually quite surprised that Xu Shang and Lu Jianhui abandoned their infantry.

I thought there was only one Ma Su, but I never thought there were a group of Ma Su!
No matter what reasons Xu Shang and Lu Jian had, it was impossible for the abandoned infantry to be without complaints.

For Zhuge Qiao, who is good at mental tactics, this is simply a credit that comes to his door.

Later generations once asked whether the Three Kingdoms could be unified if there was an unlimited supply of white porridge and pickled mustard.

The best answer is: Zhang Jiao will respect you as a great sage heavenly master, and millions of followers will help you build the Kingdom of God.

Although it is a funny question, it is also a portrayal of the cruelty of troubled times: I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

Cao Cao killed and surrendered his soldiers because of lack of food, and Cheng Yu even spread the epidemic.

As a result, Zhuge Qiao could get the gratitude of the surrendered soldiers just by giving them meat and soup.

Under the city of Rang County.

Wang Ping led the flying troops into formation, and Lu Jian at the top of the city patrolled the city nervously, praying in his heart that Xu Shang would come back soon with reinforcements from Champion County.

By evening.

Zhuge Qiao led his army to arrive.

Looking at the nearly 20,000 Han soldiers outside the city, Lu Jian felt even more uneasy.

Although Rangcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is an upper limit to how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack.

The strength advantage of the Han soldiers was more than five times!

Zhuge Qiao did not attack the city, but set up camps on all sides of Rangcheng to surround the city.

Lu Jian did not dare to be careless and asked his sergeants to light a large number of torches at the top of the city to prevent Han soldiers from seizing the city at night when they were not prepared.

late at night.

Around Rangcheng, folk songs come and go.

At first, there were folk songs outside the city, and then there were folk songs whispering at the top of the city.

Later, some people called their children brother, father and brother.

Lu Jian was awakened and asked around: "What's going on? Who dares to make noise in the city in violation of our military orders?"

The guard replied: "For some reason, there are fathers and brothers of the sergeant at the top of the city shouting outside the city."

Lu Jian couldn't help but shudder, and cold sweat flowed down his back involuntarily.

It's those foot soldiers!
Damn!

They actually surrendered!

How dare they surrender!

Lu Jian was frightened and frightened. He personally patrolled the city with a sword and ordered the soldiers not to speak to the people below the city.

however.

Lu Jian could only make the sergeants at the top of the city dare not speak out, but he could no longer mobilize the morale of the sergeants at the top of the city.

How can we fight when our fathers and brothers are under the city?
Even if some sergeants do not have fathers and brothers in the city, they dare not offend the public at this time.

Shooting a father in front of his son is an act of sworn hatred!
What drove Lu Jian most crazy was that there was no supervisory team of Han soldiers behind the group of people in the city.

In other words.

This group of people came spontaneously, not driven.

Lu Jian couldn't do it even if he wanted to draw the hatred of the generals to the Han soldiers!

"Damn Han dog, you actually play tricks on me."

"Rangcheng can't be defended for long!"

"Xu Shang, why aren't you here yet?"

Lu Jian tightened his grip on his saber and cursed in a low voice.

And at this time.

Xu Shang, whom Lu Jian was thinking about, was retreating to Li County a hundred miles away with the troops of Champion City.

Save Rangcheng?
Xu Shang went crazy to save Rangcheng!

Anyone who can betray the infantry can also betray Lu Jian!
As long as Xu Shang saved any city in Rangcheng, Champion, or Li County, it would not be considered a capital crime.

Get punished at most!
But it is better to be punished than to die. If you die, you will have nothing.

Without the backbone of the family, the wives, concubines, and children would have to belong to others.

Seeing that Xu Shang's reinforcements were delayed, Lu Jian finally realized that he had been abandoned by Xu Shang.

Thinking that Xu Shang "kindly" left a thousand cavalry behind when he left, Lu Jian felt sick and unwilling.

"Xu Shang is a thief, I wish I could eat your flesh alive!" Lu Jian scolded angrily.

There is no morale inside and no reinforcements outside.

This battle cannot be fought!

Lu Jian immediately summoned his cavalry to prepare for a breakout.

Take advantage of the night.

Lu Jian rode out the north gate, preparing to go to Anzhong to surrender to Cao Ren.

By then.

Throwing all the responsibility to Xu Shang, Lu Jian could still cry and complain about his grievances in front of Cao Ren.

"If there is no ambush, God will not stop me!"

Lu Jian rode his horse and whipped his whip, galloping excitedly on the official road.

The cavalry is on the road, who can stop them? Who can stop it?

Just when Lu Jian thought he had escaped, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid crossbow arrows on both sides.

puff!puff!puff!
The crossbow arrows hit the cavalry mercilessly, and screams were heard.

"The terrain here is flat, how can there be an ambush?"

"It's Zhuge Qiao's useless flying army!"

Lu Jianchu's doubts quickly turned into fear.

The only ones who dare to ambush the cavalry on flat terrain are crossbowmen!

And Zhuge Qiao happened to have a strong crossbow unit specially built for cavalry: the Wudang Flying Army!

The dense crossbow bolts of Zhuge Liannu were enough to keep the cavalry from approaching.

In the era of cold weapons, Zhuge Liannu's restraint on cavalry was no less than that of the first generation of hot weapons.

Facing the fierce Zhuge Liannu, Lu Jian's cavalry became confused.

Lu Jian, who was at the front, was the target of concentrated attacks.

After just blocking for a while, Lu Jian was shot into a hornet's nest by Zhuge Liannu.

"Those who dismount and surrender will not be killed!"

Voices of persuasion to surrender came and went.

The frightened Wei cavalry, some fled with all their strength, and some dismounted and surrendered. The men and horses were in chaos and without a general to command them, making it difficult to form an effective combat effectiveness.

Cries of kill were heard.

Generals such as Ma Zhong, Jufu, and Zhang Yi from the rear also arrived and completely defeated the fleeing cavalry.

It's dawn.

When the sergeants at the top of the city discovered that Lu Jian's general's flag had appeared at the bottom of the city, they realized that Lu Jian had escaped last night.

Not only did he escape, he died.

The Wei soldiers at the top of the city no longer wanted to resist, and they opened the city one after another to ask for surrender.

Zhuge Qiao used his good words to appease the soldiers and ordered them not to enter the city to loot. Anyone who violated military orders would be killed.

Guan Yu was strict in running the army, and these Han soldiers had a strong respect for military law.

Zhuge Qiao, who inherited the army-running methods of Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, was equally strict in running the army.

If you say behead, then you will definitely be beheaded!
After capturing Rangcheng, Zhuge Qiao immediately sent people to spread the message in Nanyang County.

Zhuge Qiao, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, defeated Nanxiang and beheaded Xu Huang, and defeated Rangcheng and beheaded Lu Jian. The heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty were everywhere. Those who surrendered lived, and those who did not surrender died! (End of chapter)
