Chapter 348: Acquaintance
"If Zhang Ping is caught, those who descend will not die! Kill the recalcitrant ones! "Catching Zhang Ping is a great achievement for Deng Qiang, so this is the time when his face is full of excitement. While riding his horse south, he hurried to join Li Xin, and at the same time shouted loudly. Zhang Ping, who was only a little shorter than him, was actually lifted in his hands like a chicken, which was like a swagger. Although Zhang Ping was embarrassed and angry, he tried his best to resist, but it had no effect at all.
The army was already on the verge of collapse, but when he heard this at this time, and after seeing Zhang Ping's embarrassed appearance, the army's morale was completely dispersed.
"I surrender! I surrender! ”
"Don't kill me! I am willing to return to the Huashan Army! ”
"Run!"
.......
In this situation, Zhang Ping's soldiers said their own things, and they all said anything. Most of them threw away their weapons and surrendered on the spot. Only a few people, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly fled to the surroundings.
There were still some people who had been resisting, but these people couldn't make any big waves, and they were quickly extinguished by the soldiers of the Huashan Army. After a morning, Zhang Ping and the 30,000 troops outside the city completely collapsed, and the battle ended with a great victory for Li Xin's side!
"Clean up the battlefield quickly! The wounded were found and quickly sent to the city! Zhang Oyster, go and bring Zhang Ping over! After the battle was over, Li Xin quickly gave the order and arranged the next action.
"Yes!" When Zhang Hao heard this, he hurriedly ran to Deng Qiang's side.
At this time, Zhang Ping's face was angry and frightened, and his heart could be described as bitter.
After all, when he went south this time, it can be said that he came with a large army, and he was originally ambitious and wanted to achieve great things in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that in less than a month, there would be such a fiasco.
The moment he saw Deng Qiang coming from the north, he was almost sure of the defeat on Zhuge Xiang's side. In addition, his side was also defeated, so this time the operation can be said to be completely defeated.
All of his family wealth is folded here, and he will never have a chance to make a comeback. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret it, he knew that if this was the case, he shouldn't have planned this action in the first place.
However, with his character and ambition, to be honest, he will not admit defeat until he is really in a desperate situation, and it is impossible for him to give up his ambitions.
For a while, he only felt that his heart was discouraged, and he couldn't lift up anything, and now he was most worried about his own life. Just thinking about it, Leng Buding saw a general walking towards this side not far away, and after a closer look, it was Zhang Oy, who he hadn't seen for more than a year, and suddenly his heart was angry as if he had found an exit.
"Bastard, you rebel! You must have told Li Xin about this action, otherwise, where could he have prepared for this in advance? If you had done it according to plan, I would have won this battle! It's all you, I have been raising you for so many years, I killed you as a rebel! Zhang Ping's eyes stared at Zhang Oyster as if they were about to erupt into flames, and he scolded loudly.
"Father-in-law, to this day, don't you know how wrong you are? Scold it! If you think it's better to feel better like this, then scold! For Zhang Ping's angry scolding, Zhang Oyster seemed very helpless, so he had to say.
"General Deng, the general ordered me to escort him over!" After saying that, he said to Deng Qiang on the side.
"It's good!" Deng Qiang didn't say much, and directly handed Zhang Ping into his hands.
When he was brought to Li Xin, Zhang Ping kept scolding, as if this was the only way to solve the hatred in his heart. Until he saw Li Xin, he cursed alone in his mouth, and even the people on the side felt a little unbearable.
"General, the people have been brought!" After bringing people over, Zhang Oyster said respectfully.
"Hmmm! Let him go! How to say that it is also a hero, if it is so bound, it is too rude! Nodding, Li Xin looked at Zhang Ping in front of him and said.
Capturing prisoners on the battlefield doesn't matter if you are a general or an ordinary soldier, especially for soldiers, the more great the official, the greater the credit, the more you can't let him escape. So, naturally, it has to be tied up.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Ping was tied up with five flowers, as if he was a zongzi. It is estimated that this is one of the reasons why Zhang Ping is so angry!
"Alright, don't scold him! If it weren't for him, do you think you would still be standing here? If it weren't for the fact that when he was obedient, I promised him that I would spare your life in the future, and you think you would still be alive until now? Seeing him scolding Zhang Oyster all the way, Li Xin couldn't help frowning.
"If he hadn't told you, how would you have known about this action? If you hadn't prepared in advance, this time the four-way army would have come out together, and your Huashan army would have collapsed and been wiped out! If you break me so much, do you still want me to be good to him? For this, Zhang Ping sneered and said.
"That's what you think? Are you sure that without what he told me, I would not have been able to defend myself and defeat you? Hearing this, Li Xin looked at him with interest and asked.
"That's natural, the four-way army came out together, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, as if the sky was falling apart. Suddenly, what do you use to resist? It's a pity, those people are all short-sighted, you should have acted earlier, not until you were ready! Zhang Ping had a look of assumption on his face.
"Since you have such an idea and think that victory is a matter of common sense, then why can't Zhang Oyster think of it? With your conditions, if you have such a chance of winning, I'm afraid that any one of them will choose to be compatible with you, right? You should know your righteous son very well, is he such a stupid person? In this regard, Li Xin asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then argued strongly: "It must be that he is greedy for wealth and nobility, so he will sell his father for glory!" If it weren't for him, why wouldn't I be here! ”
Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head when he saw him say this, this is really a strong word. Then he said, "Rich? Is my riches worthy of your promise? Let's tell you the truth! Even if he doesn't say it, do you think you can really make it? Those who achieve great things must seek the overall situation, if I can't even think that you may collude with other four-way people to attack, am I still worthy of being this general? Now, if you say that these are useless, you should think about your own fate! Although I promised Zhang Oyster to spare your life, it was only a life! ”
"The winner, the prince, the loser, Kou, since the matter has come to this, I have nothing more to say! I will submit to you! What do you think? Zhang Ping is also a bachelor, and there is nothing to hide at this time, so he said directly.
It can be seen that he does not take the matter of surrender very seriously, at least, he does not feel that it is a shameful thing. Thinking about the past, he had already surrendered back and forth between various forces several times, and Li Xin did not find it strange.
"Submission? It's a real choice! However, I do not raise useless people! If you are so obedient, I can promise you the life of a rich man in Guanzhong! If you want to find a position in the Huashan Army, I'm afraid you have to have some other performances! Hearing this, Li Xin nodded, but said.
"Although you and I have won the battle, there are still many of my men and horses in the counties of the state. If they decide to resist, you may not be able to take the counties! Besides, if it really comes to a critical time, some of them will directly descend to Yan Guo, I'm afraid that you will be empty! At that time, the Yan army does not need to attack the party, and can directly grasp the path to the east of the Hedong of the state, which is not a good thing for you, right? Zhang Ping was silent for a while, and then said leisurely.
Hearing him say this, Li Xin couldn't help but look at him twice. After all, he is a hero, and his eyesight is still different, and he can see at a glance the hidden dangers to the Huashan Army.
To the north of Yongan County, there are five counties of Taiyuan, Xihe, Leping, Xinxing and Yanmen. The county seat Wubao in these places is still very powerful.
Although it is said that he can push all the way over, if he surrenders, he should be able to take it down. But the problem is that the efficiency of doing so is too low, and if the time drags on for too long, I am afraid that the Yan Kingdom east of Taihang Mountain will get the news.
At that time, the other party will inevitably send troops to grab the territory left by Zhang Ping, and once the other party really enters the west of Taihang Mountain, the pressure on the Huashan army will be much greater in the future.
After all, with the current strength of the Huashan Army, it is not a matter of time to confront Yan Guo head-on. Before dealing with all other things, Li Xin didn't want the situation to become like that.
"So, you're willing to help me convince those people to surrender?"
"Not bad! If that's the case, can I exchange this for my advancement in the Huashan Army? If I help you take all the states together, it shouldn't be as simple as saving your life, right? Zhang Ping nodded.
"Good! If you do it, then instead of being innocent, you will be meritorious! The rules of my Huashan Army, there are rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments are clear! As long as you do it, I won't treat you badly! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but stroke his palm and said.
"Then it's a deal! I know that you can't trust me, so I don't ask to go and persuade you to surrender in person, so I will write letters to the guards everywhere and make them submit to you! Zhang Ping was also a little smart, and took the initiative to propose it at this time.
Seeing him so acquainted, Li Xin didn't need to say more, and let the others continue to clean up the battlefield, while he himself took Zhang Ping back to Yong'an County first, preparing to arrange this persuasion.
