Chapter 185: Surrender
After cleaning the battlefield and marrying the prisoners, Zhu Jun celebrated Lin Nan's achievements in the big tent.
But the next day, no matter how the Bingzhou army called for battle under the city, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City would not fight, and Zhang Jiao adhered to the policy of superiority, and was learned by his two younger brothers to be decent.
Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to order someone to escort the captives back to Jinyang, while he and everyone watched the sunrise and sunset in the barracks every day.
Two days later, Lin Nanzheng and Zhu Jun were discussing the military situation in the big tent, and they heard the herald come to report: Youzhou for help.
The herald rushed into the account while presenting a letter of help from Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, to Zhu Jun.
As soon as he heard that Youzhou was asking for help, Lin Nan secretly wondered in his heart: With Liu Bei in Youzhou, why did he still ask for help? Besides, even if he asked for help, it should be Qingzhou for help.
Lin Nanzheng was puzzled here, and Zhu Jun had already received the letter from the herald.
After reading it, Zhu Jun said to Lin Nan with a smile: "I can only bother Ziyang to go north." With that, Zhu Jun handed the letter of help from Youzhou to Lin Nan.
Lin Nan took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was a letter of help from Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou.
After reading it, Lin Nan got up and said: "Saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, and Nan will immediately lead the troops into Youzhou." ”
Zhu Jun said: "This is very good, but I found that there doesn't seem to be much grain and grass in Ziyang's army, and it will take a few days to go to Youzhou, so Ziyang will get some grain and grass from my camp by the way." ”
Seeing that Zhu Jun was so numerous, Lin Nan said gratefully: "Then Nan will thank you first." ”
Zhu Jun said with a smile: "Ziyang is polite, he also contributes to the country, which is as it should be." ”
So, Lin Nan ordered Zhao Yun and others to rectify the soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he ordered Jia Xu and Guo Jia to receive grain and grass.
After a few moments, a qiē was ready. Lin Nan said goodbye to Zhu Jun and rushed all the way to Youzhou.
Three days later, Lin Nan's army finally approached Fanyang, the seat of Youzhou.
The army was advancing, and Lin Nan suddenly saw the scouts of the former army coming back to report: "Ten miles ahead, under Fanyang City, there are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops fighting with a group of officers and soldiers and township brave coalition troops. ”
As soon as I heard about Xiang Yong. Lin Nan thought: Is this Liu Bei's army?Shouldn't he wait for the Yellow Turban Army to eat them before he shows up?'dǐng『diǎn『小' said,.2↘3.o▲s_();
However, Lin Nan thought about it: The Yellow Turban Army is a rabble, I'm afraid it may not be Liu Bei's opponent, if it is defeated by Liu Bei, won't his own credit be gone?
So, Lin Nan said: "Order all the armies to move quickly and exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves." "Helpless, with Lin Nan's identity, you can't call the Yellow Turban thief.
Military order. The three armies of Bear Storm, Tiger Ben, and Flying Locusts rushed out.
Looking at the billowing smoke and dust after the three armies, Lin Nan, Jia Xu, Yu Ban and others couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
So, by the time Lin Nan arrived at Fanyang City, the battle had already been over.
As soon as he saw Lin Nan coming, Zhao Yun led a few people to see Lin Nan.
Standing on the command car, Lin Nan saw a red-faced man at a glance from a distance.
"Depressed, this can't be Guan Yu, right?" Lin Nan was shocked.
Zhao Yun came to the car. Ben Shili said: "Big brother, the siege of Youzhou has been lifted. This is the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei Liu Xuande, this is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, the younger brother of Liu Xuande, and this is Zou Jing and Zou Qingli, the captain of Youzhou. Zhao Yun said as he introduced a few people around him.
Lin Nanxin said: "I know it without your introduction, my ears are hanging down my shoulders." With his hands over his knees, this Liu Bei is too special. However, I didn't expect this red-faced man to be really Guan Yu. I searched for so long and didn't find Guan Yu, but I was picked up by Liu Bei, a kid. Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Originally. This Guan Yu was originally a good person in Hedong, but because of the murder lawsuit, he began to live incognito and wander the world. Therefore, although Lin Nan searched for a long time, he still didn't find Guan Yu, because Guan Yu changed his name after all. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, he heard that Liu Xuande of Zhuo County was recruiting volunteers, so Guan Yu joined the army with his real name and prepared to establish a meritorious career. As soon as Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu was mighty, he became a brother with him.
It's just that what makes Lin Nan strange is: Didn't it say that Liu Bei's family was very poor, how could he have the money to recruit volunteers?
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Liu Bei saluted and said, "Liu Bei, a savage from Zhuo County, has seen Lord Lin. ”
"Well, what's the matter? How does Liu Bei call himself a savage? Oh, by the way, Liu Bei doesn't have an official position at this time, and I'm a great Han liehou. Thinking of this, Lin Nan also understood in his heart.
However, as soon as he saw that it was the famous Liu Bei, Lin Nan hurriedly stepped down from the command car.
While helping Liu Bei up, Lin Nan said, "Brother Xuande is polite. ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, Liu Bei saluted again and said: "If it weren't for Lord Lin's help this time, Liu Bei would probably be buried under Fanyang City." ”
Lin Nan said with a smile: "Brother Xuande said that he was joking, I look at Brother Xuande's village bravery, although he is a recruit, he is also very powerful, it can be seen that Brother Xuande is a general." ”
Before Lin Nan's words fell, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Lord Lin has a good reputation, and the elite of the state army is known to everyone in the world. Destroy the Huns, fight Xianbei, crisscross the grassland, invincible. As soon as Lord Lin entered Jizhou, the Yellow Turban thief Kou was frightened and closed his door without a fight. Now that Lord Lin has just arrived in Youzhou, the Yellow Turban Thief has collapsed and disappeared, and Lord Lin really lives up to the name of the champion Hou. ”
As soon as the big high hat was buttoned down, Lin Nan hurriedly took Zhao Yun's hand and asked, "Second brother, where is the north?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
Immediately, Lin Nan smiled: "It's nothing." ”
Seeing such strange words from the two Lin Nan brothers, everyone was very strange and didn't know why.
Then, Lin Nan said: "It's nothing, I just don't think I'm that powerful." ”
As a few people were talking, they saw the gate of Fanyang City wide open, and a group of people galloped out of the city.
When the group came closer, Liu Bei introduced Lin Nan and said: "This is the champion of the Han Dynasty, the general of the expedition to the north, and the assassin of Lord Shilin." ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, the forty-year-old official led by him dismounted and said to Lin Nanshi: "The old man Youzhou assassin Liu Yan Liu Junlang, who has been famous for a long time, saw it today, it is really a blessing in three lives, and I am very impressed." ”
As soon as he saw Lord Assassin Shi personally greet him, Lin Nan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Lord Liu is polite. It's just a cheap name, what a lot of worry. ”
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Ziyang traveled thousands of miles to rescue Youzhou, and the old man was very moved. The old man has prepared a banquet in the cold house, and washed the dust for Ziyang to pick up the south, please Ziyang must appreciate the light. ”
Lin Nan smiled: "In this way, Nan will be bothered." ”
Liu Yan smiled: "Ziyang is polite. Please!"
Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to pull a horse from elsewhere and ride into Fanyang City with Liu Yan.
After entering the city, I had a big meal, talked nonsense, and the day passed.
The next day, Lin Nan reorganized his troops and horses, asked Liu Yan for some grain and grass, and prepared to return to Guangzong to support Zhu Jun.
Seeing that Lin Nan wanted to return to Guangzong. Liu Yan said: "Now that the Yellow Turban in Youzhou has been leveled, it is not beneficial for Xuande to stay in Youzhou, it is better to go to Guangzong with Ziyang, so as to contribute to the imperial court." ”
As soon as he heard Liu Yan say this, Liu Bei's face was full of joy, he finally had the opportunity to make a contribution, but Lin Nan was unhappy with the boss.
However, Lin Nan had no choice. had no choice but to rush to Guangzong with Liu Bei.
After walking for a long time, I suddenly saw a soldier from Zhu Jun's army brought in by the former army scout and said, "Lord Qi." General Zhu had a letter to send to the lord. ”
The soldier presented the letter, and Lin Nan took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a letter asking for help from Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kong Yi.
After reading the letter, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: Lao Tzu was waiting for this day, and he finally had the opportunity to enter Qingzhou.
So, Lin Nan discussed with Liu Bei: "Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kong Yi asks for help. Therefore, Nan can only go to Qingzhou first, and Brother Xuande will go to Guangzong first. ”
Liu Bei thought about it, and then reluctantly parted ways with Lin Nan.
After dividing the troops with Liu Bei, Lin Nan recruited spies to ask Liu Bei about recruiting troops.
The spy replied, "It was a squire named Jian Yong who provided Liu Bei with his wealth. ”
As soon as I heard about Jian Yong. Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh secretly: Why did you forget him?
Seeing Liu Bei, Lin Nan was really a little uncomfortable, after all, he was an opponent who would fight for the world in the future.
In fact, Lin Nan had thought about killing Liu Bei, but considering his reputation, he didn't do so, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of his momentary hesitation that Liu Bei quietly rose among the reckless.
However, Lin Nan thought about it, the battle for domination of the world was originally a game, but this game was more exciting. In this game, if you don't have an opponent, how boring it is, so, thinking of this, Lin Nan is also relieved.
In fact, Lin Nan didn't know if he was really relieved or comforting himself.
A few days later, Lin Nan's army finally arrived at the foot of Linzi City.
At this time, as the seat of Qingzhou, Linzicheng was already surrounded by hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was strong, Lin Nan didn't dare to make a mistake, but set up camp first. In fact, Lin Nan wanted to recruit them, because it would be a pity if these people were all killed in battle.
As soon as the Bingzhou army arrived, the two leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong, also rushed together to discuss the military situation.
The two pondered for a long time, and finally agreed: You can't fight, you can only run.
So, they ordered the soldiers of each battalion to pack up their things and retreat at night.
As soon as Lin Nan finished setting up camp here, he heard a report from the scouts: The Yellow Turban Army was packing up and might want to retreat.
As soon as he heard that the Yellow Turban Army was going to run, Lin Nan hurriedly led the guard battalion and special forces out to call the battle: You have to persuade you to surrender quickly, otherwise, the fat that will come to your mouth will be gone.
Zhao Yun and others asked to lead the troops to fight, but Lin Nan did not agree, mainly because it was too late.
When he came to the front of the two armies, Lin Nan ordered Dian Wei to shout: "Please ask the leader of the Yellow Turban Army to come out of the camp for a while." ”
As soon as Han Zhong and Zhao Hong packed up their things, they heard a commotion outside the camp, and the soldiers came to report: The state army has called for battle.
As soon as they heard that the Bingzhou army was calling for battle outside the camp, the two of them were all surprised: Why did the Bingzhou army fight as soon as they arrived?
However, when the two listened carefully, they found that it was not the voice of the battle, but "Invite the leader of the Yellow Turban Army to come out of the camp." ”
The two were stunned for a moment, and Zhao Hong said suspiciously: "Why are you so polite?"
Han Zhong also said, "Yes, they should call us thieves?"
Zhao Hong thought for a while, and then said: "Listen to the voice, this Lin Nan doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, why don't we go out and see what he says, anyway, we can't leave now." ”
Han Zhong said, "Okay, let's go out and have a look." ”
So, the two of them sent 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp to prepare for Lin Nan.
When the two of them came to the front of the battle, they saw a very young general standing on a strange cart, with his sword in his left hand and his right hand in his hand. White helmet and white armor, snow-white battle robe, but there is a ****** embroidered on the battle robe.
The two guessed that this person might be Lin Nan.
The two looked behind Lin Nan and found that there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses. So, the two of them were relieved: it seemed that Lin Nan really didn't come to call the battle. However, the thousands of soldiers and horses of the people are unusually majestic and fierce. Compared with others, his own troops are not even worthy of carrying shoes.
Therefore, after looking around, the two of them made up their minds to retreat.
Standing on the command car, as soon as he saw the door of the Yellow Turban Army camp open, two generals and thousands of soldiers and horses came out of it, and Lin Nan knew that these two people must be the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army.
So, when the two yellow turban generals came closer, Lin Nan clasped his fists and said: "In Lin Nan Lin Ziyang, I don't know what the two generals are called?"
Seeing Lin Nan so polite, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong were even more puzzled, and after glancing at each other, Han Zhong clasped his fists and said: "Under Han Zhong, his name is Zhao Hong, and the Yellow Turban soldiers here are all under the command of the two of us." ”
After Han Zhong finished speaking, Lin Nan nodded and said, "I heard that the two generals are packing up their things, are they going to prepare to retreat?"
As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Han Zhong was shocked in his heart: It seems that people know that they are going to run.
However, Han Zhong still said calmly: "No, prepare to fight with adults tomorrow." ”
Lin Nan smiled: "General Han can't help it. Does General Han think that your army will have a chance of winning tomorrow's battle?"
Han Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what the victory or defeat is, you dare to fight." ”
Lin Nan smiled again: "General Han is deceiving himself, Nan and the two generals are honest, Nan doesn't want to fight with the two generals, otherwise, the two generals will have their heads on the ground now." ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, the two of them were shocked again, but immediately there was a look of resentment on their faces.
Lin Nan Zhengse said: "The two generals actually have nothing to be angry about, if I want to exterminate you, 20,000 cavalry will raid and your camp will be broken." Subsequently, as soon as tens of thousands of infantry stepped forward, could the two of them still be able to keep Xiang Shang's head? The three Zhang brothers saw that Lin was all timid and closed their doors without fighting, what can you two do? Perhaps, the two of them will think of retreating. However, I would like to remind you that you have a few horses, and that you can outrun the iron horsemen of our state, and therefore, I have come to see you today to persuade you to submit. ”
When they heard Lin Nan say this, the two were even more surprised: because Lin Nan was telling the truth, they really couldn't beat it now, and they couldn't run. However, the two were also curious, because for the first time, they heard that the official army was going to recruit thieves.
Seeing that the two of them were hesitant, Lin Nan said again: "After the two of them are submissive, I will appoint the two of them as general of the state and the rank of brigadier general." With the deployment of the two, the young and elite can be in the army, and the old and weak can only serve the people, and I will never kill innocents indiscriminately. Because, after all, they are all the people of the Han Dynasty. ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, the two pondered for a while.
After a while, Zhao Hong said, "Lord Lin's words can be conclusive?"
Lin Nandao: "I vouch in the name of the Han Champion Hou, the general of the expedition to the north, and the history of the state assassin, what I say is conclusive." If you don't believe me, I can swear to God. ”
The two glanced at each other again, shook their heads at each other, and then dismounted together and said, "The two of us are willing to surrender." ”
Seeing that the two of them dismounted and surrendered, Lin Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all the hard work was not in vain.
So, Lin Nan hurriedly stepped down from the command car, helped the two of them up, and said: "The two generals care about the righteousness, and it is really a blessing for the people of the world." ”
Immediately, Lin Nan ordered them to go back to the camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare for the reorganization tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
