Chapter 419: Yuan's Army Surrenders
Liu Yu was very unhappy, he had been designing for so long, and finally let Yuan Shao run away.
"Lord, the last general will take people to chase after you!" Zhao Yun stepped forward.
"Good! Zilong, you quickly lead the troops to chase and kill! If you can't do anything, return as soon as possible. Liu Yu agreed to Zhao Yun's request.
"The last general commands!" Zhao Yun chased after the cavalry troops.
Liu Yu turned to look at the soldiers on both sides who were fighting, it was time to end this fight.
"Summoned the whole army, saying that Yuan Shao has fled, surrender and not kill! Resolve the battle as quickly as possible. Liu Yu said to Guan Yu.
"Understood!" Guan Yu rode a war horse down quickly to convey.
Not long after, Liu Yu's troops kept chanting: "Yuan Shao has fled, surrender and avoid death!" ”
"What? The lord fled? ”
"Where's the lord?"
The soldiers of the Yuan army suddenly looked around, looking for Yuan Shao's traces, if Yuan Shao ran away, what would they continue to do if they continued to resist.
The middle-level generals of Yuan Jun also couldn't find Yuan Shao, and they knew that as Liu Jun said, Yuan Shao had already run away.
"Don't listen to the enemy's nonsense! The Lord Justice is at war with Liu Yu, this is the enemy's strategy! ”
"That's right, the enemy is too cunning, don't be fooled by them."
There are still people who are loyal to Yuan Shao.
At the instigation of these people, the soldiers of the Yuan army continued to fight.
Liu Yu looked at this situation and decisively gave an order: "The whole army retreats, let Yuan Jun and them gather together!" ”
Liu Yu planned to gather these Yuan troops together, and then let them understand the fact that Yuan Shao had fled, and then surrender to them. There are still many Yuan troops left, these are the elites of the rest of the battle, Yuan Shao left these soldiers alone, they are the fat in front of Liu Yu, if Liu Yu doesn't eat it, he will be sorry for himself.
Liu Jun continued to retreat according to Liu Yu's orders, and finally formed an encirclement to surround the remaining Yuan regiments. And Liu Yu's archers all pulled up their bowstrings, and their feathered arrows were aimed at the Yuan soldiers.
The soldiers of the Yuan army saw Liu Yu retreating and habitually gathered together.
At this time, Liu Yu walked out with a few generals such as Guan Yu and Dian Wei and said: "Yuan Jun listen, Yuan Shao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and now he has escaped. Put down your weapons and surrender, this king guarantees that your lives will be worry-free! ”
The Yuan army gathered together already knew that Yuan Shao was not in the army, and even several high-ranking generals were not in the army.
The soldiers of the Yuan army were all loosened, and they became soldiers just for a bite to eat. Now the bosses are gone, and the generals are not there, and they are still. Even Yuan Shao's diehard loyalists were shaken at this time. However, as soldiers, they all obey orders, and their superiors have no instructions, and they dare not move now. In the current situation, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to have the ability to resist Liu Yu. But there is always a chance in everything, in case Yuan Shao makes a comeback in the future, those of them who surrender to Liu Yu will be finished. The best option now is to let the big ones decide, so that even if anything happens in the future, it has nothing to do with them. The soldiers of the Yuan army all set their eyes on their superiors.
Yuan Jun's current leadership level is at the highest level of several lieutenant generals, and they are very entangled. If there is someone bigger than them, there is no need to worry about it. Except for a few top generals in Yuan Shaojun's army, most of the others are generals from families, and they all have families in Jizhou. Yuan Shao had already run away, if he knew that he and the others had surrendered to Liu Yu, then he would definitely do something to his family. They also want to break through, but Liu Yu's army is not a good person, and its combat effectiveness is fierce, how many can escape?
Yuan Jun was silent, which made Liu Yu a little difficult, did he want to kill all these Yuan soldiers in the end? Liu Yu is a little reluctant to have so many troops.
Tian Feng noticed Yuan Jun's abnormality, he whispered a few words in Liu Yu's ear, Liu Yu suddenly came to his senses, and said again: "This king is not a person who is easy to kill. Now I'm giving you a way to live. As long as you lay down your arms, you can surrender to our army if you want, and if you don't want to surrender to our army, you can also let you leave, as long as you don't oppose this king in the future, this king will definitely not embarrass you. Get out of the way! ”
Liu Yu's troops got out of the way, which made Yuan Jun stunned, could it be that Liu Yu was really so benevolent?
After a little more silence, a few soldiers had the courage to walk towards the path that Liu Jun had gotten out of, and the other Yuan soldiers were staring at them, wondering if Liu Yu would really let them go.
The soldiers threw their weapons on the ground and walked out trembling. Until he walked out of the encirclement, Liu Jun did not make any moves against them. They glanced back at their comrades, then spread their legs and ran, and Liu Jun did not pursue.
With the first person to eat crabs, the others also threw down their weapons one after another, even if the lieutenant generals wanted to stop them, they couldn't stop them. Now that Liu Yu has given them a way out, what else do they have to fight. The soldiers of the Yuan army are all from poor people, and going home early to hold their wives and children is the last word.
"Lord, if this continues, all the Yuan troops will run out." Dian Wei said anxiously.
Liu Yu shook his head, he had his own plans.
After walking a few groups of Yuan soldiers, hundreds of Yuan soldiers knelt in front of Liu Yu: "We are willing to surrender." ”
"Well, all of you have lost your way, and this king welcomes you. Come and take them down to rest, and prepare dry food to eat, and do not starve them. Liu Yu said with a smile.
As soon as they heard the dry food to eat, the stomachs of many Yuan soldiers rang, and after the battle, their stomachs were already empty. If they leave now, Liu Yu will not pursue, but they may starve to death on the way home.
"We are willing to submit to the king." Another group of soldiers surrendered to Liu Yu.
Liu Yule blossomed and cast an appreciative look at Tian Feng. Tian Feng looked unfathomable, holding his beard and smiling.
The soldiers continued to decrease, and several lieutenants of the Yuan army could no longer hold on, they also accepted their fate, threw down their weapons, came to Liu Yu and knelt down and said: "We are willing to surrender to the prince!" ”
They are very good thieves, and instead of having a few people left, they simply surrendered with all the soldiers, maybe Liu Yu will continue to reuse them for this part.
"Haha, it's all hard." Liu Yu didn't say much, this result was what he wanted to see the most.
As a result, all the Yuan troops who were preparing to be surrounded threw down their weapons, and most of them surrendered to Liu Yu, and the rest were also because they had survived a hundred battles, and they felt the preciousness of life and did not want to continue the war. Liu Yu did not break his promise, let them leave on their own, and even thoughtfully provided some dry food and travel expenses so that they could go home safely, but these people were so moved that they cursed and swore that they would never be enemies with Liu Yu.
At this point, Liu Yu ended the battle of Julu.
Accepting the surrender of so many people, Liu Yu and the others began to get busy, setting up camp tents, cleaning the battlefield, treating wounded soldiers, and preparing a large number of people's food, which made Tian Feng very busy.
As for Liu Yu, he summoned Zhang He, the general of the Yuan army who was captured.
"The defeated generals, Zhang He and Zhang Jun of Hejian City, see King Zhao." Zhang He simply knelt down directly.
"You have suffered. How do you do things, and you are still tied so tightly. Liu Yu personally helped Zhang He up and untied his rope.
Zhang He moved his hands and feet and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." I don't know what the prince commanded? ”
"This king has heard of the name of Jun Yi for a long time, and admires it in his heart, I wonder if he is willing to follow this king?" Liu Yu was very satisfied with Zhang He's attitude, so he expressed the meaning he wanted to solicit.
"Zhang He is willing to submit to the prince. Meet the Lord! Zhang He knelt down and kowtowed directly.
"Good! I have to be like a tiger with wings! Liu Yu was very happy.
Dian Wei despised Zhang He a little, and agreed so quickly, it was just a soft bone.
Guan Yu snorted even more, what he hated the most was the person who betrayed the master.
Liu Yu heard Guan Yu snort coldly, and understood that if Zhang He didn't explain why he surrendered so simply, he was afraid that he would not be treated by his generals in the future, so Liu Yu asked, "Jun Yi, why is it so simple?" ”
Zhang He also heard Guan Yu's cold snort, and said with a serious face: "Yuan Shao treats me well, and the last general will repay him with his life, and after he is cut off, now he is defeated and captured, but he is really not good at learning." The last general is bent on seeking death to repay Yuan Shao's great kindness, the lord is benevolent, and the last general is temporarily killed. The last general felt the grace of the lord and was willing to follow him. ”
Zhang He said his explanation, he was not the backer, he resisted the pursuit for Yuan Shao, and repaid Yuan Shao with his life. Now surrender Liu Yu because Liu Yu's kindness touched him, and it has nothing to do with other things.
Guan Yu and Dian Wei also agreed with Zhang He, after all, Guan Yu witnessed Zhang He calmly die, and the little contempt in their hearts disappeared.
Liu Yu pulled Zhang He out of the camp tent, and said in front of everyone that Zhang He had joined the command of King Zhao, and appointed Zhang He as a general and commanded 10,000 foot cavalry.
Several lieutenants of Yuan Jun who surrendered were overjoyed, Zhang He surrendered, and they had nothing to do, and Yuan Shao wanted to blame Zhang He, and it had nothing to do with them. Then their families will be safe.
The sky is falling, and there's a big one on top, isn't it?
In the end, after counting, in this battle, Liu Yu killed 10,000 soldiers and horses, wounded about 20,000, and the casualties were almost half. Yuan Shao's losses were heavy, almost the entire army was wiped out, and nearly 30,000 intact soldiers were surrendered. Liu Yu absorbed this group of surrendered soldiers, and there were more troops than when he entered Jizhou.
The remaining wounded soldiers, Liu Yu did not give up, he told Tian Feng to deal with them, as long as these wounded soldiers are not disabled, they will all be combat power after recovery. It doesn't matter if they are crippled, after Liu Yu captured Jizhou, a large amount of land was given to them. In a word, Liu Yu can use it if he can, and he can't waste too many resources.
The battle of Julu has already decided the ownership of Hebei. The scales of victory had already tipped in favor of Liu Yu, and now it was only a question of how long Yuan Shao would be able to resist Liu Yu.
