Chapter 155: The Veteran Surrenders
"Sir, this Han Xuan is too shou in Changsha, according to the rules, now that he has been captured, it should be sent by the lord." When Guan Ping heard that Liu Yi really agreed to let Han Xuan go, his face changed slightly, and he stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Uncle Huang gave me the right to make my own decisions, and I will explain this matter to Uncle Huang." Liu Yi shook his head and said, one Han Xuan for one Huang Zhong, this deal is sure to make money and not lose money, besides, Liu Bei did give him the right to act cheaply before setting out on the expedition, otherwise Liu Yi would not directly decide Han Xuan's fate if he wanted to recruit Huang Zhong.
Han Xuan, escorted by two soldiers, came to Liu Yi, and when he saw Liu Yi, he was not afraid, and shouted loudly in a posture of seeing death as home: "Traitorous thief, don't think of Han Mou bending his knees!" ”
"No need to bend your knees." Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "Untie him and let him go." ”
For this kind of person who is famous, has no ability, and feels that he is loyal, Liu Yi is too lazy to communicate, I am afraid that even he himself can't tell who he is loyal to, why he is loyal, this kind of person, being an ordinary person, mediocre life, put it in a high position, it is simply a disaster.
"Hmph~" Han Xuan looked at Liu Yi a little blankly, the angry expression on his face was still there, and he didn't understand what Liu Yi wanted to do, so he just snorted coldly and said, "If you think so, I will ......"
"Stop!" Liu Yi interrupted Han Xuan's words with some impatience, pointed to the back and said, "Fujun can go, no one will stop you." ”
Immediately ignored Han Xuan, and shouted into the courtyard in front of him: "If the old general doesn't believe it, you can personally send Han Xuan away, and you can guarantee that no one will stop the old general." ”
Han Xuan was stunned when he heard this, only to find that they were outside Huang Zhong's mansion.
"Crunch~"
In the space where Han Xuan was stunned, Huang Zhong's courtyard door was opened by two domestic servants, Huang Zhong was wearing armor and bandages on his arms, and appeared at the door with a slightly depressed expression, and the soldiers around him were immediately on guard.
Liu Yi waved his hand, looked at Huang Zhong and said, "It seems that the old general has already made a decision." ”
"Old horseman, do you dare to be a thief?" Han Xuan glared at Huang Zhong angrily.
"I hope the general will keep his promise." Huang Zhong didn't look at Han Xuan, just looked at Liu Yidao.
"The old general is relieved." Liu Yi said to Guan Ping and Liu Sandao: "Collect the troops, put up a list to calm the people, leave the necessary men and horses, and the rest of the soldiers should be withdrawn from the city and stationed, there must be no mistake." ”
"Sir, then ...... him" Guan Ping and Liu Sandao looked at Huang Zhong when they heard this, and hesitated.
"At such times, I can still think of the old master, I believe that the old general is a man." Liu Yi stretched his waist and walked straight in the direction of the government office, but he didn't pay attention to Huang Zhong and Han Xuan, it can be seen that Han Xuan has no kindness to Huang Zhong, if he gives so much sincerity at this time, Huang Zhong still chooses to escort Han Xuan away, then Liu Yi has to re-evaluate Huang Zhong.
Guan Ping and Liu Sandao hesitated, and finally according to Liu Yi's order, withdrew the troops back to the camp, Liu Sandao took a large team of soldiers and horses out of the city to re-establish the camp, Guan Ping was responsible for the security of the city, inspection and city garrison, as for Liu Yi, after the battle, he had already planned to ask Liu Bei for leave to go home, this counted, it has been more than three months since he came out, Mocheng doesn't know what to do, last time he passed the door and did not enter, this time, after going back, he has to rest for a while, it seems that Liu Bei can't use himself for the time being.
Han Xuan was sent by Huang Zhong to ten miles outside the city gate, and Huang Zhong saluted Han Xuan and said, "Please take care." ”
"You want to go back!?" Han Xuan was thinking about going to Guiyang first, meeting with Zhao Fan, and then borrowing troops to fight back, when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and turned around and glared at Huang Zhong.
"The prince of the mansion has the grace of knowing the loyalty, and now the loyalty saves the life of the monarch, and it is also regarded as the grace of this acquaintance." Huang Zhong looked at Han Xuandao indifferently, at this moment, there was no longer that kind of respect for Shangguan from his subordinates, and some were just as indifferent as strangers.
"Old horseman, do you really want to be a thief?" Han Xuan glared at Huang Zhong angrily and scolded.
"Shut up!" Huang Zhong's heart was furious when he heard this, and he scolded: "If you listened to me yesterday, why is this so? Now that General Liu Yi is responsible for me, how can I abandon him!? ”
It turned out that when Han Xuan decided to send troops to attack at night yesterday, Huang Zhong felt that it was inappropriate, and he didn't care about losing face during the day, so he ran to dissuade him at the moment, but Han Xuan was angry that Huang Zhong put him in danger, and refused to listen to Huang Zhong's advice, and insisted on sending troops, which eventually led to someone else's strategy, and the city was broken and captured.
Han Xuan sneered, and wanted to scold again, but seeing Huang Zhong's tiger eyes full of anger, he was timid for no reason in his heart, and he couldn't say anything to his mouth, so he snorted and brushed his sleeves away.
Huang Zhong looked at the direction of Han Xuan's departure, sighed deeply, turned around and went back to Linxiang, and entered Linxiang City, but saw Guan Ping waiting at the gate of the city, and when he saw Huang Zhong coming back, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Nakaro will not believe it?" Huang Zhong frowned and said a little unpleasantly.
"Mr. has already returned to the government office." Guan Ping shook his head and said: "It's just that I'm not at ease, Mr. has made a lot of achievements in pacifying Changsha this time, and now that Han Xuan is released, the lord may not be punished, but the generals in the army will inevitably criticize, if the old general refuses to come back, Mr. may not have a good time in the future." ”
Huang Zhong looked at Guan Ping, frowned, and said, "Why do you call the general Mr?" ”
Although it is the first time that Huang Zhong, the official name of the craftsman Zhonglang, has heard of it, but looking at Liu Yi's methods since he attacked Changsha, he has taken down all the twelve counties of Changsha in just over a month.
"The old general will know in the future that my husband originally didn't care about the military, but this time the Cao army was defeated, and the lord, the military division and the generals in the army were all chasing and killing Cao Cao in Nanjun, so he sent Mr. Yi to come." Guan Ping smiled.
I don't know how Liu Bei and them are now.
"Then what is your husband doing under the emperor's uncle's account?" Huang Zhong looked at Guan Ping puzzled, listening to Guan Ping say this, this leading troops to fight is just Liu Yi's sideline, so what does he mainly do?
"Mr. is a descendant of the Mo family, good at craftsmanship, under the command of the lord as a craftsman general, naturally in charge of the craftsman, casting weapons for the lord, building warships, repairing the city." Guan Ping said as a matter of course.
Huang Zhong: "......"
Are you sure you're not kidding me? Such a person, Liu Bei made the family a craftsman? Or did Liu Bei let a craftsman come and lead the troops to fight, and he won the war? How can you let these Liu Yi's subordinates be embarrassed?
Guan Ping saw that he didn't believe it, and he didn't explain, so he smiled and said: "The old general will know in the future that the things made by Mr. are different from ordinary craftsmen, in the past, Cao Cao heard the name of Mr. and wanted to take it by force, but he was defeated by Mr. in Mocheng three times in a row, and his general Le Jin was captured by Mr. alive, and now he is still imprisoned in Xiakou." ”
"Ink City?" Huang Zhong looked at Guan Ping when he heard this, this city had some impressions, when Cao Cao had not yet gone south, it was already very famous in the land of Jingxiang.
"It was built by Mr." Guan Ping nodded and smiled.
After the two said this, they had already come to the government office, and after sending someone to report, Guan Ping took Huang Zhong into the hall of the government office, and saw Liu Yi sitting there sorting out the files, Guan Ping stepped forward and said, "Sir, General Huang is here." ”
"See, Tanzhi will go to patrol the city first." Liu Yi looked at Huang Zhong with a smile and said, "Old general, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you...... Mr! Huang Zhong was a little reluctant, saluted Liu Yi, knelt down at Liu Yi's hand, and said to Liu Yi: "I don't know how Mr. will arrange the veteran?" ”
"Uncle Huang ordered me to capture Changsha, now that Linxiang has fallen, the three cities of Rongling will be taken in the near future, there is nothing to do here, I should also go back to hand over the errand, within a few days, Uncle Huang should be able to reply to me, and the old general will cultivate first." Liu Yi looked at the bandages on Huang Zhong's arm and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will go with me to meet Uncle Huang, and I will recommend you to Uncle Huang." ”
When Huang Zhong heard this, he frowned and said: "As far as the veteran knows, Han Xuan has written to the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling to come to the aid before this, if the general is changed at this time, I am afraid it will be ......."
"In Guiyang, I have ordered people to ambush them, as for Lingling and Wuling, now Changsha has fallen, as long as the news spreads, I don't think I will come to attack." Liu Yi smiled and said, he came over with 3,000 soldiers and horses, it was not easy to capture Changsha, could it be that he still expected himself to sweep the four counties?
Huang Zhong was a little speechless, it was the first time he had seen this kind of general without the slightest meritorious service, with Liu Yi's current means, it was not difficult to take advantage of the situation to go south to take Guiyang, and when the time came, the troops of the two counties would be gathered, Wuling and Lingling might have precautions, but they might not be able to plot, if they gave up this opportunity, and waited for the three counties to be ready to fight, it would be much more difficult than now.
Liu Yi naturally knows this truth, but he is not sure of Liu Bei's attitude, now that he has surrendered the Changsha soldiers, there are more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus the defenders left in each county, there are 8,000 soldiers and horses, if he sweeps the three counties again, Liu Yi can have 20,000 more soldiers and horses in his hands, then it will be a bit of a high achievement.
So this kind of thing, let's call Liu Bei to decide, saying what the situation is on Liu Bei's side now, Liu Yi is not very clear now, at this time, he naturally dare not move.
"Don't talk about this, the old general has been in Changsha for a long time, and Yi is new now, and many things are not clear, so I ask the old general to help deal with it." Liu Yi pointed to the file: "If this is a thief of the Dao Sect, why has it been so rampant all these years, but no one has taken care of it?" ”
Huang Zhong retracted his thoughts when he heard this, and thought for a while: "The matter of the sect thief has been going on for a long time, and most of the local clans are unwilling to accept the decree and lead the people to resist, these people have quite a lot of means in the local area, and it is not easy to eradicate them, and most of the people who have been too conservative in the past are to win over ......."
Although Changsha is down, but in Liu Yi's view, there are many internal problems, such as the existence of thieves, which have existed since Liu Biao's time, but they have not been solved, most of them are to compromise and appease to stabilize, in addition, the government decree can not be implemented, and the strong and strong do not cooperate, all of which are problems, these people naturally cannot be blindly suppressed, but if they are left alone, it is also a tumor, these problems are even more important than conquering the city in Liu Yi's view.
The two of them asked and answered like this, and gradually straightened out the current problems in Changsha a lot, and Liu Yi also had a much more thorough understanding of the situation in Changsha and even the entire four counties of Jingnan.
