Chapter 470: Conquer Zhang Yan and Capture Gao Lan
Not to mention that Yuan Shao and the others retreated, the crisis in Lin Xicheng was lifted here, and Zhang Yan led a group of subordinates to come out and worship: "The last general, Zhang Yan, has seen the prince!" ”
"The last general king should have seen the prince!"
"The last general, Du Chang, has seen the prince!"
"You don't need to be polite, now that Yuan Jun has retreated, you are safe." Xu Ding shouted and stepped forward to straighten out Zhang Yan, and at this time he had the opportunity to look at the nominal leader of the Montenegrin Army.
Zhang Yan is a medium-sized strong man with a dark complexion, medium build, neither fat nor thin, with a short beard on his face.
Zhang Yan is known as Feiyan, and he may not be the best in this era, but in terms of agility and reaction speed, he is also one of the coquettish.
"Thank you Junhou, if it weren't for Junhou coming from afar to help, I think we would have died here by Yuan Shaotuo!" Zhang Yan regretted his original decision, and fought hard against Yuan Shao, he really didn't have this capital.
"If you say something unpleasant, what are your plans after this incident? Do you still want to crisscross the Taihang Mountains, and do you still want to hide in Tibet through the big ravines and valleys? Xu Ding asked everyone.
Zhang Yan's subordinates glanced at each other, and then they all looked at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan bowed and said: "The lord is above, please allow me to merge the Montenegrin soldiers into Qingzhou, and we are willing to go to the soup for the lord!" ”
In fact, Zhang Yan also knew that he had no choice, first, all the major generals under him were interested in surrendering to Xu Ding.
The second is that the people in Laozhai were fooled out of the mountain by Xu Shu's guy and stepped on the big boat to Qingzhou.
His family and relatives all boarded Xu Ding's thief ship, and he also accepted his fate.
Moreover, just because he promised to bring only 3,000 troops to help in the future, he respected it and did not dare to disagree.
When the catastrophe came, the Black Mountain Army and all the dissidents turned to serve the official army, and at this time, only Xu Ding came to the rescue of him, and this kindness was greater than the sky.
Zhang Yan recognized the lord, Wang Dang and Du Chang naturally had no opinion, and they all paid homage: "I am willing to go to the soup for the lord!" ”
Xu Ding glanced at everyone, looked at the Black Mountain soldiers who worshiped a piece and said: "I Xu Ding, I dare not guarantee anything else, at least I can let you eat and not go hungry, you believe me, I will give you a stable sky, anyone who goes to Qingzhou and Pingzhou, those who are willing to be soldiers can continue to stay, and those who are unwilling will be given houses and fields to you, so that they can have enough food and clothing!" ”
The essence of the Montenegrin Army is a group of peasants, most of whom are the most oppressed people, and they may not be able to understand big things for them.
On the contrary, they are more willing to pay attention to food and shelter, these most basic living conditions, is the softest place in their hearts.
"Thank you, lord!" There are no big words, just a sentence that they are full and not hungry, which is the best promise for them.
The people's eyes are bright, and it is easier to gain their trust than to say it well and do it steadfastly.
Subduing this group of Black Mountain troops, Xu Ding said: "While Yuan Shao retreats, let's leave too, otherwise it will be too late!" ”
"It's the lord!"
Everyone buried the pot to cook, ate all the remaining food, and saved up enough strength before setting off.
Halfway through the trip, he received a liaison from Xu Shu's side, and soon converged Xu Shu and Xu Chu.
Seeing the huge number of young people behind Xu Ding, Xu Chu and Xu Shu were very happy.
The efforts of everyone have been greatly rewarded, and the hard work ahead is worth it.
"Yuan Zhi! Tell me about the specifics of your situation! "It was his expectation to divert the flood to severely damage the 30,000 troops such as Wenchou and Zhang He, and Xu Ding believed that with Xu Shu's ability, it could be accomplished very well.
Now he wants to know most about the situation of Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang He and others, whether the three Jizhou fierce generals are dead or not.
Xu Shu said: "My lord, we used Hongpin to break down the camp of the Yuan army, and most of the 30,000 soldiers of the Yuan army were buried to death. Because we only went down the mountain to search after dawn, except for the corpses of Yuan Jun all over the mountain, we did not find the figures of Zhang Jaw and Wen Chou, and we don't know whether these two people are alive or dead.
However, according to our statistics, there are about 2,000 corpses of the open-jawed halberds, and the others do not know whether they rushed into the Zhanshui River or escaped at night. ”
didn't find Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, it seems that most of them escaped by themselves, the two are fierce generals, strong physical fitness, and the missing ones will be, Xu Ding prefers that they have escaped the catastrophe. It's a pity.
If he killed Yuan Shao's three most fierce generals at one time, Yuan Shao's military strength would be greatly reduced all day, and a Yan Liang would not be able to help Yuan Shao support the big plaque of Jizhou Mu.
"So, you've found Gao Lan's body." Xu Ding's reaction arc shot is very sharp, Xu Shu didn't improve his gaze just now, most likely this guy is dead.
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Lord, Gao Ran is not dead, he was swept away by the flood last night, and was found and captured by our soldiers after dawn, and he was held in the camp at this time." ”
"Oh, taken alive!" Xu Ding's face showed joy, of course, it was better to die than to live.
"Does the lord want to bring it up for interrogation?" Although Xu Shu has not been by Xu Ding's side for a long time, he still knows a lot about Xu Ding's hobby of collecting talents.
Gao Ran's person may not be as strong as Xu Chu, but he is also a brave general, and he can also add a little strength to Donglai.
Xu Ding shook his head and said: "No, let's just hold it for the time being, when we return to Weiyuan Island and deal with his affairs, if Zhong Kang is not busy enough, I can go to him to talk about life insights!" ”
Xu Chu showed a hint of a hehehe, his ten fingers clasped together, and the joints crackled.
"It's the lord, I understand!" Xu Shu glanced at the two brothers of the Xu family, and probably could guess that Gao Ran would not have a comfortable life in the next days.
Soon Xu Ding's army crossed Qishui and returned towards Chaoge, and Xu Huang's side immediately retreated, not messing with the southern part of Wei County.
Next, Xu Ding selected high-quality soldiers in Chaoge's reorganization of Heijun Mountain, while waiting for the ship from Qingzhou to come and load people.
During this period, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also paid attention to it and secretly watched out.
Xu Ding had hundreds of thousands of young soldiers in his hands lying in Chaoge, and no one could sleep at ease, even Zhang Yang was also worried, and repeatedly sent Dong Zhao to Confucianism to find out the news.
Xu Ding entertained Dong Zhao with good courtesy every time, and Dong Zhao and Xu Ding became more and more familiar with each other.
"Gongren, I really want to tie you up and go to Weiyuan Island now! It's a pity that you have a big responsibility and are deeply trusted by Zhang Fujun, which is really not good for people to love. During this period of contact, Xu Ding and Dong Zhao both had that tacit sense of affection and concubine.
Although he has not become a master and servant, in fact, the relationship is good.
Dong Zhao said: "The prince said in time, now is an eventful time, Hanoi must not be chaotic, Hanoi is chaotic, and the world will be even more chaotic." ”
Hanoi is bordered by Hedong County in the northwest, Bingzhou in the north, Jizhou in the northeast, Yanzhou in the southeast, and Luoyang in the northwest.
Whoever is in Hanoi will not care.
At present, it is not appropriate for anyone to seize Hanoi, but it is more appropriate in the hands of Zhang Yang, a slightly cowardly and well-behaved person.
In the case that there is no war between Hebei, Qing, and Yan, whoever moves Hanoi is molesting the other side, and it is bound to start a big fight.
Now neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao are ready for a big war.
And what Xu Ding lacks the most is time, and he is also happy that everything is safe, and he will not have nothing to find fault with and break this level.
