Chapter 256: Robbery while the fire is on
After Quan Yi returned to the gate, he explained the three conditions. After hearing such conditions, everyone in the gate couldn't help but be silent for a while, especially Yao Chang, whose face was a little ugly. After all, if he really did what he wanted, he should be the one whose strength was the most damaged.
"Why doesn't Mr. Ziliang argue with reason? In this way, it may not be so harsh! After pondering for a long time, Yao Chang looked at Quan Yi and said with a sense of reproach.
What's the benefit of a little argument? Since it is already a surrender, then it will be completely reduced, if it is for a little benefit, I am afraid that people will look down on it! It seems even more that we are not sincere! It will only make people think that our surrender is just a stopgap measure! Quan Yi knew what he was thinking, and he didn't defend himself, just said a few words lightly.
Hearing this, the indignant people around couldn't help but shut up. They also knew that Quan Yi was right, in this situation, where would the defeated army have any qualifications to ask for more!
"Well, since things have come to this point, there is no need for us to quarrel any longer. As Ziliang said, since everyone has decided to surrender, then accept these conditions! There is more than one surrender in the Huashan army, and people are not living well! Yao Chang thought about it, but in the end he couldn't find a better way, so he had to sigh and say.
As a result, everyone finally decided to surrender according to Li Xin's demands. When he ordered everyone to clean up, and then, seven or eight hundred people opened the gate and notified the Huashan army to come and receive the Tianjing Pass. And he and the others, at the request of the Huashan Army, threw away their weapons and walked towards the Huashan Army camp.
When Yao Chang and others arrived, Li Xin paid enough attention to it and personally stood at the gate of the camp to greet him.
"I have long heard of General Yao's bravery, and when I saw it today, I really had an extraordinary bearing! It is a great act of kindness that you have led the people to come to me today, avoiding the deaths and injuries of the officers and men of both armies, and saving the lives of so many innocent people! Li Xin looked at Yao Chang, who was walking in the front, not a few years older than himself, but compared with his brother Yao Xiang, he still had some less demeanor.
"The general of the defeated army, dare not speak bravely! I also heard of General Li's name, but I never thought I would see it today! Yao Mou is obedient to the general today, and he will definitely look forward to the general's order in the future, and he will not dare to disobey the slightest! When Yao Chang heard his words, he felt a little more comfortable. After all, this high hat is quite comfortable to wear. Therefore, there is less resistance in my heart, and my attitude is naturally much better when I speak.
"Since you are obedient to my Huashan Army, then we will be a family in the future, go, follow me into the tent and talk!" Li Xin nodded, and then walked towards the Chinese military tent.
Yao Chang and the others had heard of the name of Huashan Army before, and they had been observing it for the past two days, but after all, they were too far away to see it carefully.
This will enter the large camp, and see a solemn atmosphere in the barracks, surrounded by heavy security. The soldiers who passed by were all holding their heads high and their fighting spirits high, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts.
After entering the tent of the Chinese army, I saw Liao Chuan and other generals again, all of them were sitting upright, not squinting. Especially on Liao Chuan's body, a powerful momentum is very compelling.
"Li Xin is brave and strategic, and there are such soldiers under his command, and my brother is not unjustly defeated! Fortunately, I chose to surrender, otherwise I would have been able to defend the Tianjing Pass with only a few hundred remnants of my army? If you are defeated, you will lose your life! When Yao Chang saw this, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.
The other generals were also happy at this time. After seeing the true strength of the Huashan Army, they completely abandoned the last bit of delusion in their hearts. There were a few timid generals who didn't dare to look at Liao Chuan and others when they saw them looking over.
Among the crowd, the only ones who are really fearless are Quan Yi and Yao Chang.
Li Xin asked everyone to sit down, sat down on the top himself, and then ordered someone to bring food.
"You can't drink alcohol in the army, and even I can't break this rule! Today, I ordered someone to prepare some food, so let's relieve our hunger! If you don't have alcohol, you can replace it with tea! Li Xin picked up a cup of tea and said to everyone.
"The general's words are serious, we and other people who have surrendered, and we have to be treated by the general so politely, I am already uneasy, where do I dare to toast the general! I'll wait for a cup of General Jing! Hearing this, Yao Chang couldn't help but admire secretly.
After all, it's not surprising that you can't drink alcohol in the military, but there aren't many that you can really follow. Li Xin can be strict with himself, which is enough to show that his prestige is well deserved. At this time, he quickly stood up and said.
"Drink together!" Li Xin didn't force it, and drank it first after raising his glass.
Yao Chang and the others were surrounded by panic in Tianjing Pass, and they didn't have much military rations with them, and after running for a day and a night, they were already hungry. I only ate some things hastily before, but when I saw these things now, I couldn't care about a lot, and I soon ate a lot.
It was almost noon, and it was the meal, so Li Xin and the others didn't say more, it was important to solve the stomach problem first!
"Report! General Qiyu, there is an urgent military situation to send! While everyone was eating, there was a sudden sound of horses outside the camp, and a messenger ran straight out of the tent.
"Bring it!" Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but put down the bowl and ordered.
The surrounding Liao Chuan and them all put down what they were eating at this time, and looked at Li Xin in unison. After Yao Chang noticed this, they had to put down the bowl in their hands as well, and there was silence in the military tent for a while.
"What a Zhang Ping, he actually wants to take advantage of the fire to rob! Could it be that I can't be bullied by Huashan Army? After reading the letter, Li Xin couldn't help but snort coldly and said.
"General, what's going on?" In addition to Li Xin, the number one general of the Huashan Army, Liao Chuan naturally stood up and asked.
"Zhang Ping, after learning the news of the Gaodu War, sent troops from Yuci, Yangyi, and Jinyang counties, intending to attack Wuxiang County and go south to seize the land of my party!" Li Xin looked at the letter in his hand again, and then said lightly.
The three counties of Yuci, Yangyi and Jinyang are all under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan County. Originally, this was supposed to be the Taiyuan Kingdom, which was the territory given to the clan during the Western Jin Dynasty. But then the world was in turmoil, and this place was no longer owned by the Jin family, and naturally there was no Taiyuan Kingdom.
The Taiyuan Kingdom is now in the hands of Zhang Ping, and the eastern part of the central part of the Taiyuan Kingdom is bordered by Shangdang County. There are mountains between the two sides, but the road in this place is not difficult to walk, and it is not difficult for Taiyuan's army to go south.
Jinyang County is the seat of Taiyuan County and Zhang Ping's old nest. In the east, Yuci and Yangyi County are separated by a mountain from Wuxiang County of Shangdang County, and Wuxiang County is the northernmost county of Shangdang County, and the county seat is fifty or sixty miles away from the north of Yushe County in later generations.
In other words, this Wuxiang County is the northern gate of the Shangdang area. Once this place is defeated by Zhang Ping, then the opponent's army can use this as a foothold. After that, they continued to move south, and even captured the entire Shangdang County.
This kind of situation is naturally not what Li Xin wants to see, after all, he brought everyone all the way over, isn't it for these territories. Now that I am fighting here for life and death, but others want to come up and pick up ready-made, how can I do it!
"General, Nawu Township County is located in the key area, and it is where the northern gateway of the Shangdang is located. Feng Yang has arranged a lot of soldiers and horses there, so he should be able to stop it for the time being, right? Hearing the news, the generals of the Huashan Army present all showed anger, and Liao Chuan said after a deep groan.
"Feng Yang doesn't have many troops in Wuxiang County, and he has already transferred the main troops to the front line of Huguan to defend Murong Ping. That Zhang Ping probably saw this, so he took the opportunity to make a move. I'm afraid that he is afraid that I will go straight up and occupy the entire Shangdang, so he will strike first! Li Xin shook his head, his face worried.
"In that case, then we should march quickly and be prepared! There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses here, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to deal with Zhang Ping, so we should send more soldiers and horses into Hedong as soon as possible! Liao Chuan thought for a moment and suggested.
"Don't worry, our current strength is enough for the time being. However, it's time to get out of here, leaving some soldiers and horses to guard the city, and the rest of the horses, get ready, and return to Gaodu County immediately! Li Xin thought for a while before ordering.
"The last general obeys!" Liao Chuan and the others immediately got up to answer, and then turned around and went down to make arrangements.
Yao Chang and the others who were present didn't know what to do for a while when they saw this scene. Keep eating! It doesn't seem to fit! I want to interject! It doesn't seem like it's what these people should do. Standing there stunned, I didn't know what to do for a while.
"What a resolute Huashan army! The order is forbidden, without a little delay, such a large army, no wonder it can win again and again! Quan Yi and Yao Chang glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.
"I'm sorry, the military situation is urgent, so I can only hold a banquet next time! Everyone, go back and prepare, and follow me to Gaodu County! Li Xin put away the letter, and when he saw the expressions of everyone below, he said.
"Yes, the last general will obey the general's orders!" Yao Chang and the others hurriedly bowed and said.
The army moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, the entire camp had disappeared, and the large group of men and horses lined up and immediately set off and rushed towards the county seat of Gaodu County.
In the afternoon of the same day, the army returned to Gaodu County! Li Xin concentrated his forces, and then sent a part of his troops and horses to send all the soldiers who surrendered this time back to Hedong County, and if he stayed here, he was a little uneasy.
At the same time, he sent someone to inform Liu Xiaohai and asked him to rush back to the land east of the river to sit down. After that, the army quickly set off and rushed to Hyunshi County, north of Gaodu County.
