Chapter 6 Please surrender and be bound

A successful assault on the battlefield determines the outcome of a battle, which in turn affects the outcome of a war and sets the tone for an era...... Throughout the ages, this kind of thing has been all too common:

Just like the Battle of Issus, Alexander the Great's sacrificing cavalry assault at a critical moment defeated the Persians, who had the advantage in the entire battle and had few mistakes, and directly destroyed the Persian Empire, which lasted for hundreds of years;

Another example is the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu, who had just won the military power, broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and the whole army was one as ten, and the victory directly announced the end of the Qin Empire;

is also like Li Jing's battle to destroy the Turks, Su Dingfang led two hundred cavalry to rush to the tent of Jieli Khan desperately, and directly let the Eastern Turks, who had threatened Tang Taizong a few years ago, perish!

Is it incredible?

No, behind the Battle of Issus was the accumulation of Mediterranean civilization and the decline of Persian civilization; Behind the battle of Julu, the general trend of the world's anti-Qin has been achieved, Zhang Han and Wang Li obviously have a strong army but are unable to return to the sky; Not to mention behind Su Dingfang's magical assault, the rapid rise of the Tang Dynasty was a complete recovery of Chinese civilization after hundreds of years of decline.

To put it bluntly, only when the balance between the old and the new forces and the differences between different lines have reached a critical point, and then both sides have coincidentally chosen to solve the problem by means of war, can the most critical tremor on the battlefield be qualified to open a new chapter for the times.

From this point of view, Xu Rong's charge is enough to go down in history, but it seems to be missing a little meaning.

"Junhou, can the world be pacified after this war?" Seeing the overwhelming pressure of 100,000 people towards the south, while Yuan Shao and his Chinese army simply fled, the accompanying Wei general's confidant Mu Zong was flushed, and he couldn't help but follow Gongsun Xun's side and ask excitedly.

"Morning!" In the face of such a big victory, Gongsun Xun, who was riding on a white horse and following the army slowly, was actually in good time. "If this battle can really determine the outcome of five hundred years, when Yuan and Chen put out the bait at the beginning, I will directly lead the crowd to attack regardless of life and death, regardless of the risk, why let Xu Bo come in? Why don't you wait until the other party is in chaos first? ”

Fu Zong couldn't help but smile, still unable to hide his excitement: "It's not enough to determine the situation in Hebei for five hundred years, right?" ”

"It depends on how much we can achieve today." Gongsun Xun still didn't care, but he led all the staff and military officials to temporarily stop on a high ground on the battlefield and watch. "This battle is more like I set up a trick and artificially facilitated, which is somewhat uninteresting, and the timing is early, which is quite troublesome."

At this point, Gongsun Xun looked at the completely overturned battlefield in his field of vision, paused slightly, and then continued: "Yuan originally thought that I was a fateful enemy with him, and thought that this battle was a battle to show the destiny of heaven and divide the field, so he desperately wanted to fight with me. But he didn't know that I was just borrowing his family background and incompetence to seek a real first hand in the battle, but I never regarded him as a real opponent! Therefore, the victory in this battle is gratifying, but it is only gratifying, not enough to reach the future! Don't congratulate you! ”

All the staff members looked at each other, each thinking about it, and Fu Zong no longer dared to say more.

However, Guo Jia, who followed Guan Yu's side before, was weak and weak, and it was the time of his vigor, and at this time, the generals personally supervised the army forward, and his people were able to stay by Gongsun Xun's side, but he couldn't help but ask: "General, although Yuan Benchu is a splendid straw bag, he has some merits, especially his strength, needless to say...... Even if the world is used as a chessboard, there is always a place for him, and if he is not even an opponent, who is the general playing chess with? ”

Gongsun Xun looked back at the young Guo Fengxiao, and did not answer, just smiled slightly, and then pointed his finger.

Guo Jia looked up and saw that at the end of autumn, in the afternoon, the clouds were high and the wind was clear, and the sun was shining, but it was just a clear blue sky...... Then the person, like many people around him, moved slightly, but he gave up and shifted his mind to the battlefield in front of him.

In other words, with the confluence of Xu Rong and Han Dang, plus the withdrawal of Yuan Shao, the outcome of this battle has actually been decided...... However, the fact that the victory or defeat has been decided does not mean that the battle itself will end here, in a sense, it makes sense not to say that it has just begun, because as Gongsun Xun just said, the real utility of this battle depends on the results of the battle, and the results of the battle can only be obtained after the victory or defeat has been decided.

For example, the most direct indicator of combat results, that is, the killing and wounding of battlefield troops...... Believe it or not, after fighting for most of the afternoon before, for more than an hour, the casualties of the two armies may not be as many as those caused by the rout of the troops trampling on each other after the battle situation just collapsed at this time?

As for the capture and beheading of generals and important ministers, it is not to mention much, and if Yuan Shao can be captured, it is simply another matter.

However, in all fairness, Gongsun Xun does not have much additional hope for this, because ten people are heroes, one hundred people are proud, thousands of people are heroes, ten thousand people are heroes, and there are 100,000 people, among which there will never be a lack of heroes and heroes, plus between life and death, the power that can inspire people is the most, so although it is a defeat, Yuan Jun may not have nothing to do...... And the most critical point is that the battlefield is located between the two cities, and Liang Period City is more than ten miles away.

In fact, Yuan Shao was able to give it a go like this, in addition to the sense of historical mission and fatalism that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, or simply self-righteousness, he also felt that once he won, he would be able to break Gongsun Xun's undefeated golden body, so as to divide the world in one battle, and if he lost, he could easily return to the Liang period, and slowly do it.

It's just that before the war, no one on Yuan Shao's side could have imagined that Xu Rong's cavalry penetration was so strong that he could actually pierce the large array of 100,000 people in one breath and cut off the way back.

"Master Guo is relaxed and relaxed, and cutting off the way back is not a desperate situation." Facing the chaotic battlefield as if it had just been swept away by a flood, Yu Ban said to Guo Tu, who was in a panic, with some helplessness. "There are too many people in our army, and Liang Qicheng is too close, and the 20,000 cavalry of his generation can't intercept it at all......"

"I know!" Guo Tu grabbed Yu Wenze's robe and said hard. "I'm asking you that if the situation is like this, why do you raise your flag while retreating? We still have a dozen horses, with your personal guards, throw down the flag, and only a dozen elites flee back, isn't it easy? ”

"They are all from Taishan Township, and they entrust their lives to me." Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head. "Now that you can't win, how can you give up?"

"General Yu, what are these words, do you think I am greedy for life and afraid of death to persuade you to abandon the soldiers?" Guo Tu dragged the other party's robe, angry. "Let's take a good look at the situation...... In this situation, if you throw down the flag and everyone scatters, then as you said, it is possible to be bumped into by the cavalry and captured and killed, but it is more likely to flee to the city, and the so-called life and death depend on the success or failure of the sky; But if you gather a group of troops like you and try to protect them, it is easy to attract the attention of the enemy, and if you are specifically intercepted by the enemy for this purpose, then one of your Taishan villagers and military robes will be counted as one, and they will all be harmed by you! ”

Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, but then he was solemn, but he was silent.

Guo Tu was about to scold again, but unexpectedly, as if echoing his words, further east, in the face of Guan Yunchang and Xu Gongming's strong advance, where Li advanced and Li retreated, he actually folded the direct banner, and his subordinates also rushed south...... Li Jin's core people are all Li disciples, and their centripetal force is stronger, if they want to maintain order, they will definitely be able to do it, but at this time, they took the initiative to choose to disperse and flee!

"Do you see it here?!" Guo Tu was already in a hurry. "How wise is Li to retreat? Would he have deliberately sent his people to death? It is nothing more than scattering and fleeing at this time, which is the right reason! ”

"Not really." Yu Ban came back to his senses and shook his head gloomily. "Li Huizhi's department is different from my department......"

"What's the difference?!" Guo Tu continued to ask angrily. "The two of you are all subordinate soldiers, both are generals in the army, and their families are also on the south side of the river, so they don't dare to surrender ......."

As for this, Guo Tu was suddenly stunned, but he suddenly let go of the other party's robe, and then shook his head: "Do you mean to surrender if there is discord...... Right?! How can that! Your family is in Yecheng, and your clan is in Yanzhou! ”

Yu Ban became more and more gloomy: "Master Guo is not a person who leads the troops, and it is common for me to not understand us, in fact, if it weren't for Li Hui's clan being too large, I really wouldn't dare to bet on Yuan Cheqi's magnanimity, I'm afraid he would also try to gather people like me to protect it...... More than a dozen horses, and more than a dozen armor soldiers, I will hand them all over to Master Guo, let's go first! I continue to recruit soldiers here, slowly retreat, if it can be done, everything is fine, but if it can't be done, please look at the face of today's time, let Yuan Cheqi only sin me, don't be implicated. ”

Guo Tu sighed, turned around and took the reins of the horse from the attendant, and before he was about to get on the horse, he finally couldn't help but turn around and say: "General Yu, if there is really a case, you should still have a useful body, and I should try my best to complete your family!" ”

Yu Ban leaned over and bowed: "The main book will go, and the main book will be broken." ”

Guo Tu didn't say anything more, and directly led a dozen horsemen to the south and fled in a hurry.

As soon as the other party left, Yu Ban did not hesitate, and continued to order the whole army to maintain the formation, while raising the flag to collect the rout, while slowly retreating south.

In other words, in the face of the rout of his own side and the general attack of the enemy, the three generals on the right wing of the Yuan army and their subordinates had their own choices.

After Han Dang's outermost Ju Yi successfully circled from the outside, he almost made an instant decision and seized the best opportunity to escape, and his people immediately threw away most of the auxiliary troops, and only led the core elite more than 1,000 people to the east; And Li Jin bore the brunt of the attack, facing Xu Huang, but it was extremely difficult, so after Gongsun Xun ordered a general attack and Guan Yu's banners appeared on the front line, he also made a quick decision, and the whole army was divided into pieces, with Shiwu as a unit, scattered to the south, and fled for their lives. As for Yu Ban, his position is the most in the middle, the most difficult to escape, and his department suffered the impact of the previous cavalry, and the casualties were the heaviest, but at the critical moment, on the battlefield full of stumps and broken arms, in the overall situation full of rout, this person still maintained the structure, and maintained the strength to collect the rout, and the effect was excellent, so he quickly became the focus of the battlefield.

On the forward line, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Cheng Pu, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, almost everyone noticed that there were enemy troops who were reorganized and trying to restore order on the battlefield, so the generals almost unanimously drove their troops here.

People who go against the current, of course, are conspicuous.

This was the case when the cavalry of Zhao Yun's department discovered Chen Gong before.

"Dress properly and bury it." Gongsun Xun didn't have much emotion about the corpse of Chen Gong that was carried over, but he saw the other party spreading his face to die, and knew that the other party was a person who did not evade responsibility, so he stopped for the time being, and gave due respect, and then continued to beat the horse forward, asking as he went. "I heard that the captive is Yi? He claimed to be captured, not surrendered? ”

"Yes! Do you want to see the prince? ”

"Not for the time being, otherwise wouldn't it force him to die? It's just a scholar, why is that? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Look at the banner, it's Yu Ban who gathers people to resist over there?" Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped again.

"Returning to the monarch, it is Yu Wenze!" Naturally, someone next to him replied.

"Tell Yun Chang to send someone to persuade him to surrender, and if not, attack immediately." Gongsun Xun rarely sneered. "It's a pity that Ling Ming is not here, otherwise let him go."

The people around didn't know Gongsun Xun's bad jokes, but they had some opinions about the forbidden counter-current.

"This Yu Wen may not fall." After sending the army to this point, he found that the overall situation had been decided, and then he simply followed the trial on Gongsun Xun's side and frowned slightly.

"Why?" Gongsun Xun was slightly puzzled.

"Prince, please look," the judge said with emotion, pointing to the battlefield ahead. "After our army pressed, the Yuan army has been defeated, and the generals everywhere have gone, in this situation, if our front army can fight forward and cooperate with the cavalry in front, it will inevitably cause a large number of submissions, but now that this Yu Ban is so risking death in front, our army's forward has the meaning of being blocked, so there are only 20,000 cavalry in the Yuan army...... 100,000 people, more than 10 miles of road, let 20,000 cavalry to capture, how many surrendered and captured? ”

"Is Jeongnam saying that he is a loyal minister, and this move is doing his best in a desperate situation?" Gongsun Xun was slightly stunned. "It's the same as before Wen Chou?"

"That's exactly what it means." Judge the correct color to answer.

"Not necessarily, right?" Dong Zhao smiled, but he was a little unimpressed. "Just look at other places, the generals of the Yuan army, if they are not surrounded by our army, otherwise there are very few surrenderers, are they all loyal and martyrdom? It's nothing more than that their families are all in Yecheng, and their clans are all in the place, for fear that this place will fall and Yuan Shao will be difficult to overturn for a while, but they will bury the family for nothing, and when the whole army surrounds them, they are like ordinary people who want to survive and fear death......"

"Therefore, Gongren thought that this person would definitely descend?" The judge frowned.

"That's not the case." Dong Zhao sighed. "I just want to say that if he doesn't surrender, he may not be a loyal martyr, and if he surrenders immediately, he may not be disloyal, such as Wen Chou three days ago...... In short, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is enough to achieve something, so why bother to talk about loyalty and treachery? ”

The judge frowned, but was silent.

After all, he and Dong Zhao are both Yuan Cong's people, and they have known each other for a long time, and in the past few years, the two of them have been guarding the place alone, and they are neighboring counties, so they have some contacts. And now that the overall situation has been decided, everyone just saw Chen Gong's corpse and Yu Ban's counter-current, and they just chatted casually like watching a fire from the other side, so although they didn't agree with the meaning of the other party's words, they were willing to tolerate one or two.

It was Tian Feng, who didn't like what he heard, and couldn't help but interject and retort: "As Dong Fujun said, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness have no merit?" ”

"Yuan Hao misunderstood." Gongsun Xun suddenly interjected, interrupting the 'chat' of several important ministers. Gongren did not mean to denigrate morality, but he meant to say that some things are illusory and uncertain compared to practice...... Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, everyone respects it, but who decides? Do you rely on the door to let your fellow villagers tout? In today's troubled times, those of us who are in the top positions can respect and respect these things again, but we can no longer rely on these things absolutely! And besides, is it for others to see that a truly faithful person does what is right? Or do you want to make a profit? ”

At this time, Tian Feng also became solemn.

After a while, the sentry in front of the herald hurriedly reported, saying that Guan Yu had sent someone to persuade Yu Ban to surrender, but Yu Ban neither agreed nor refutated, but only agreed with General Wei on three things before surrendering.

"Don't!" Gongsun Xun's face immediately darkened. "I don't listen either...... Tell them to surrender immediately, or attack immediately! What are the words, come to me after you have abandoned your weapons and are bound! ”

The sentry rode away in a hurry, and this time, Yu Ban looked at the enemy troops who were gathering more and more around him and became more and more impatient, but finally let out a long sigh and abandoned his weapon. Then the front army naturally continued to press south, and the rear army naturally took over the prisoners, and Yu Wen was also tied up and brought to Gongsun Xun.

"What you wanted to say before, now say it." Gongsun Xun was angry with the other party's previous actions, so he didn't bother to get off the horse at all.

"The Sin General just wanted to ask General Wei for a few things." Yu Ban's robes and armor were removed, and his whole body was tightly bound, so he could only stand in front of the horse with difficulty and speak. "First, please don't kill General Wei ......"

Before the words fell, the frustrated sect next to him became impatient, and his person directly stepped forward and scolded: "When did my family monarch kill and surrender?" It's ridiculous. ”

"Between life and death, don't dare not worry." Yu Ban looked at Fu Zong and said seriously. "And if I didn't trust General Wei, how could I finally surrender regardless of it?"

Only then did Fu Zong's face soften and he stepped back and remained silent.

"The second thing, in the spring of this year, General Sin had seen General Wei send an official document before, saying that those who helped the Yuan clan in battle were innocent, but the officers were killed as elevens, so General Sin wanted to implore General Wei to be magnanimous......"

"Impossible!" Gongsun Xun scolded directly. "Unless it is a righteous action, the officers will be killed on eleven, this is my clear announcement before the battle with Yuan Shao, military law and punishment, how can it be child's play? Even if you are in the text, you have to draw lots to determine life and death, and then talk about others! ”

Yu Ban gritted his teeth and continued to raise his head: "Then there is only the third thing...... Please, General Wei, let me die! ”

"That's interesting." Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter. "Not to mention the first two things, what about this last thing? Since he surrendered, he had already stolen his life, and gathered the crowd to surrender, didn't he want to continue to lead the surrender pawn to accept the appointment after surrendering? How can you ask for death instead? Let's be honest! ”

"The sin will not dare to be hidden, and this matter is easy to say." Yu Ban said bitterly. "Why did the crowd come down...... Forgiveness will say bluntly that this move is by no means to continue to be in office, nor is it to delay the situation of the war, but because if no one gathers those broken soldiers on the battlefield at that time, they will trample on each other and seize the road, but they will suffer heavy casualties, and there is a hint of preservation below. And why do you want to die? It is not only to repay Yuan Cheqi's kindness, but also to worry about the safety of the Yecheng family and the Yanzhou clan...... I have fallen for the general, and the sin is great, how can I not worry about the family? ”

Gongsun Xun sighed and didn't say much, and after his eyes swept over the judges, Tian Feng, Dong Zhao and others with different expressions behind him, he made a slight gesture to a guard, and the guard also tossed a little immediately when he saw this, but he took out a lottery holder from the leather bag, and then carefully served it.

"I'll smoke it for you!" Gongsun Xun took the sign, turned over and dismounted, and said directly to the ban. "Really?"

Under the sunset, Yu Ban was slightly stunned, and then he didn't have too much nervousness: "I'm tired of General Wei!" ”

"Aren't you really afraid of death?" Gongsun Xun pinched out a skewer, glanced at it slightly, but continued to hold it in his hand, and continued to ask...... He found this person more and more interesting.

"I'm afraid of death, but my husband is born in the world, and he can't live for himself in the end!" Yu Ban lowered his head and sighed. "Thank you General Wei for giving the general a ride......"

"How can I have time to send you on a special trip?" Gongsun Xun stretched out his hand, only to see a raw skewer here, and then he threw down the bamboo skewer, pulled out the waist cutting blade, and directly cut the rope on the other party's body. "Eleven is not a dead lot...... Let's go! ”

Yu Ban was stunned on the spot, and the people around him were somewhat dazed...... Because just now everyone thought that Gongsun Xun was going to kill Yu Ban directly through the 'military law'.

"What is there to doubt, on the battlefield, is it only you who can live?" Gongsun Xun lowered his head and inserted the broken blade, and then turned back to his horse, looking disapproving. "Let's go to the prisoner camp for a day first, and then go back to Liang Period City tomorrow! Tell your colleagues about today's events, and say that I feel that you love the nurse and do not want to be loyal to the second master, and let you go back with my own hands...... If Yuan Benchu knew that you were put back by my own hands, although he doubted you, he would not punish you, and he would never want to lose his part in front of me! ”

Yu Ban exhaled, and then bowed down, but he was relieved to go down with the escort soldiers...... It is difficult to die through the ages, and it is not ashamed to accept the magnanimity of the strong and live!

The sky gradually darkened, and the battlefield area became larger and wider because of the pursuit of the rout, although there were still many captures and killings that were confirmed, but Yuan Shao's whereabouts were not heard. In this regard, Gongsun Xun and the others had already acquiesced in the fact that the other party had successfully fled back to the city, but what they didn't know was that in Liang Period City, Xin Ping, who was stationed here, was already in a state of confusion - because Yuan Shao had not returned it yet!

Not only that, Guo Tu, Fu Zhu, Xu You, these three important figures have no information! One is not good, for the Yuan camp, this is simply a complete loss!
