Chapter 238: Pacify
Liu Zheng killed Zhang Ying, and at this time he was excited, so he immediately chased after the soldiers who fled in all directions and began to chase and kill.
When he had finished killing, he screamed loudly at the remnants of the soldiers.
"The thief Zhang Ying is dead, the rest of the people will kneel and surrender without killing, and the rest of the people who resist will be killed!"
Liu Zheng fought bloodily, his body was covered with the blood splashed by the killing of the enemy, the blood stained Liu Zheng's armor red, and his big knife was full of bloodstains, dripping into the land outside the Yulin City, deep into the earth, making the ground turn black and red.
Countless corpses fell to the ground, and many of Zhang Ying's subordinates had lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground without movement.
The remaining people who still have combat strength are also at the end of their rope, and they are caught between the two armies in front and behind Liu Zheng's side, and there is no way to survive at all.
The 30,000 army originally had some numerical advantages, but under the attack of the two armies before and after Liu Zheng, the numerical advantage was also lost.
Liu Zheng himself brought more than 10,000 people here, and Gan Ning also had nearly 10,000 men and horses in Yulin City, and the two parts of the soldiers and horses together were not much worse than Zhang Ying's soldiers and horses.
And Zhang Ying has also lost some of his men these days, and the real number is less than 30,000, which is actually about the same as Liu Zheng's number.
But at the beginning, Liu Zheng's sudden attack caught Zhang Ying off guard, which made Zhang Ying suffer heavy losses, and in the subsequent battle, naturally he did not reverse the defeat.
In this way, Liu Zheng's side was a one-sided battle, and he soon killed most of Zhang Ying's soldiers and horses.
More than an hour later, the battle outside Yulin City had come to an end.
Except for a small number of people who were unwilling to surrender, stubbornly resisted to the end, and were killed by Liu Zheng, the remaining part of the soldiers and horses basically chose to surrender, and a small number of people were afraid of Liu Zheng's side and chose to flee into the mountains.
But that is only a small number of people, and most of the remaining people are people who cannot break through, and in order to survive, they can only choose to surrender in the end.
Soon, the part of the people who surrendered was concentrated by Xu Huang on the square in Yulin City.
There are not many of these people, and after a bloody battle, Zhang Yingjun, there are less than 4,000 people left.
These people, dejected, gathered in the square, waiting for Liu Zheng's men to arrange their whereabouts.
Liu Zheng glanced in front of these people, and his gaze quickly fell on the crowd of those people, a person who looked like a leader.
After taking the initiative to approach the person, Liu Zheng took the initiative to ask these people.
"What's your name?"
Liu Zheng looked at Chen Heng, Chen Heng was sent by Zhang Ying to intercept Liu Zheng's army, so as to create an opportunity for Zhang Ying's main force to evacuate, but unfortunately Zhang Ying died too quickly, and Chen Heng's men, after seeing Zhang Ying dead, knew that there was no hope of escape, so they all surrendered.
At this time, when asked by Liu Zheng, Chen Heng had nothing to hide, so he spoke directly.
"My name is Chen Heng."
"Chen Heng?"
When Liu Zheng heard these two words, his mind was thinking about it quickly, thinking about his memory of this name.
At first, Liu Zheng really didn't think of this name, but when he thought about it with Liu Xuan, a prince, he quickly remembered that under Liu Xuan, there was indeed a military general named Chen Heng.
It's just that this person is not very famous in history, it seems that he is just a third-rate general, and he is not as high as Zhang Ying's sense of existence, and he has been under the command of Liu Xiang until Liu Heng was attacked by Sun Ce, and Chen Heng died at the hands of Jiang Qin.
Speaking of which, Jiang Qin and Liu Zheng have already seen it, and this Chen Heng has made him meet a historical celebrity of the Three Kingdoms.
"You're the commander of these people?"
After Liu Zheng guessed Chen Heng's name, he asked casually.
"No, I'm not a commander-in-chief, I'm just General Zhang Ying's adjutant general."
"Adjutant general? It's more or less a general, these people should listen to you now. ”
Liu Zheng looked at Chen Heng, although Chen Heng is not very famous in history, and his strength is like this, under Liu Zheng's command, he may not even be as good as some of his subordinates, but he can be regarded as some strength.
And he is familiar with the Han army system, which is better than those under Liu Zheng's command, most of whom are bandit farmers.
"General Zhang Ying is dead, these horses are now at my disposal for the time being."
"Well, that's fine, I don't have anything else to say, it's like asking you, do you want to die, or do you want to live."
Liu Zheng glanced at Chen Heng briefly, he didn't have too many ideas about Chen Heng, if Chen Heng was interested, Liu Zheng was short of manpower at this time, and if he was willing to take refuge in him, he would naturally be willing to recruit Chen Heng.
But if Chen Heng is unwilling, then Liu Zheng will not be too merciful, and he will be killed if he does not surrender.
"Since you surrendered, you naturally don't want to die."
"If you don't want to die, then surrender to me, I know you must look down on me as a little thief, but now that Zhu Fu is dead, Zhang Ying is defeated, and there is no longer my opponent in the entire Jiaozhou, and within half a month, this Jiaozhou will be my Liu Zheng."
"Although I'm still just a little thief now, in a month, the position of this Jiaozhou assassin will be mine."
Liu Zheng has this self-confidence, now that Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying have been destroyed, there is no opponent in the entire Jiaozhou, and he will not be able to dominate the entire Jiaozhou in a long time, and when the time comes, there will be Jiaozhou as a base.
Following the example of Zhao Tuo, the martial king of Nanyue four hundred years ago, he went north to pacify the Central Plains.
Chen Heng looked at Liu Zheng, he didn't know what he was thinking about, hesitated for a moment, and did not answer Liu Zheng's words in the first time.
Liu Zheng was not in a hurry, so he looked at Chen Heng quietly.
Chen Heng was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.
"Chen Heng is willing to surrender, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses."
A few simple words indicate Chen Heng's mood at this time.
Although he may not be very good-looking to Liu Zheng, but at this time, for the sake of his own life, he still chose to take refuge in Liu Zheng.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng immediately laughed, he liked people like Chen Heng who were interested.
Although he was forced to be helpless, he was able to recruit a military general with some strength, and Liu Zheng's mood was still very good.
"Very good, you can ask these people behind you again, if you are willing to take refuge in me, I will accept it, but I must be assigned to the major military camps according to my army system, and in terms of rest assured treatment, it will not be worse than when they were under Liu Xuan."
Liu Zheng valued Chen Heng, but in fact, he valued the thousands of soldiers and horses behind Chen Heng.
He fought one after another, although there were more and more soldiers and horses, but the real elite, and the soldiers of a hundred battles, were becoming fewer and fewer.
And the thousands of people under Chen Heng can be regarded as elites.
