Chapter 156: Wei Bing's Quality "Reward Plus 2/17"
On 14 November, Zhao Hongrun, who learned that Runan had already been conquered, led 20,000 Junshui troops, 5,000 Yanling soldiers, and nearly 30,000 Pingxuan troops to officially enter Runan City.
Yes, he left five thousand Yanling soldiers stationed in Shangcai, after all, this is their retreat back to Great Wei, so they should naturally be cautious.
In this regard, the three generals of Yan Lingbing, Wu Wei Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang, were a little helpless.
After all, the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion have extremely strong combat capabilities, and it is absolutely impossible to stay here and waste their combat strength in vain, as for the Pinghui Army, the Wei people generally don't trust them very much at the moment, how dare they hand over the important retreat to those Chu people to guard? As a result, Yan Lingbing became the best choice.
In the case that Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang, none of them wanted to stay in Shangcai, and they all wanted to follow Zhao Hongrun to attack Chu and win military exploits, Zhao Hongrun could only suggest that they guess boxing.
As a result, Wu Wei Ma Zhang was unfortunately defeated, and left the handsome office with a depressed face and a sad face.
Although Chen Shi and Wang Shu were somewhat sympathetic to this brother, they would not be stupid enough to exchange with him.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun summoned Ma Zhang to talk alone afterwards, reassured him with kind words, and made a promise, which finally restored the glory of the frustrated general.
It's no wonder, after all, staying in the ruined city of Shangcai and watching other people continue to build up feats, this is indeed a torturous thing.
Zhao Hongrun arrived in Runan in the evening of the same day, at that time, Runan City had already been controlled by Yan Mo and Li Qi, and the Chu soldiers in the city had already surrendered, and the people in the city were even more frightened to hide in their own houses and dare not show their faces.
After all, the Chu people in Runan City all knew that Xiong Tuo, the king of Yi, had formed an army of as many as 160,000 in July to attack Wei. And now, the Wei people have actually hit the territory of their Chu State, what this means, it is self-evident.
"You're the biggest contributor to this time."
When greeting Zhao Hongrun together in the city gate cave, Li Qi, the general of the Junshui Battalion, solemnly said to Yan Mo, which made the latter a little flattered.
You have to know who Li Qi is. That is the general of the Chinese army in the Junshui Battalion, which can be called the second person in the Junshui Battalion in addition to the general Bailiba, and he can be recognized, which means that the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion will never have any prejudice or provocative actions against Yan Mo.
"The last general is worthy of the praise of General Lee." Yan Mo hurriedly thanked him, but he was very happy in his heart.
After all, he also knew that the Junshui Battalion was currently the most important elite under Zhao Hongrun's command, and if the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion had any prejudice against him, it would directly affect his status in the Wei Army.
And now, none of this will be a problem.
Yan Mo was secretly glad that he had made a risky request against his character this time. The results were far beyond his expectations.
While they were chatting, Zhao Hongrun led the army to arrive at Runan City.
Seeing this, Li Qi, who had a very good impression of Yan Mo, gave him a look and reminded Yan Mo to step forward to lead the horse for Zhao Hongrun.
Don't think that being a general is a shameful thing to lead a horse for others, it also depends on who is sitting on the horse.
If in the past, generals like Yan Mo were qualified to step forward to lead the horse for Zhao Hongrun, it is no exaggeration to say that they were just too close to Zhao Hongrun. will be because of the vigilance of the Wei people.
What surprised both Li Qi and Yan Mo was that Zhao Hongrun saw Yan Mo hurrying towards him under Li Qi's reminder from a distance. seemed to intend to lead the horse for himself, so he turned over and got off the horse, handed the reins to Zong Wei Shen Yu casually, and invited Yan Mo to walk into the city with him.
This is a higher standard of courtesy, looking at the more than 80,000 people under Zhao Hongrun's command now, except for Bailiba. Who qualifies to run alongside Zhao Hongrun?
No one!
"Your Highness, I ......"
"What's the matter, you're the biggest hero of this battle, and you're afraid that someone will gossip? …… If anyone is gossiping, let him take a city for his king first. Let's talk about it again! ”
Seeing that Yan Mo was submissive and looked panicked, Zhao Hongrun grabbed Yan Mo's sleeve and half-dragged him towards the city.
In the rear, the generals of the Pingxuan Army all looked at it, although he understood that this was Zhao Hongrun's move to buy people's hearts, but it was undeniable that they were very useful, after all, Zhao Hongrun's move meant that he really didn't care about the difference between the Wei people and the Chu people, as long as he made meritorious deeds, this Su king would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.
This subtly gave the generals of the original Chu army who had surrendered to Wei a head start.
As the party Yan Mo, it was even more useful, and he even began to feel that with the moody Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, this His Royal Highness King Su of Wei was the master who was more worthy of follow.
However, joy returned to joy, the rational Yan Mo was not complacent because of this, on the contrary, he whispered to Zhao Hongrun as if begging for mercy: "Your Highness will spare the last general, so many people are staring at the last general with red eyes, the last general is really ......"
"This doesn't sound like what a general should say." Zhao Hongrun quipped, and saw that Yan Mo was indeed panicked, so he let go of his hand.
Seeing this, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took half a step back: as the biggest hero this time, taking half a step back and following Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, into the city is obviously less likely to cause jealousy than entering the city side by side with Zhao Hongrun.
After entering the city through the city gate, Zhao Hongrun took a look around, listened carefully, and saw that there was no sign of his own soldiers killing and plundering the residents in the city, and he was very satisfied.
However, in order to confirm this, he still asked.
"After you and Li Qi entered the city, you didn't disturb the people in the city, right?"
Yan Mo was stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and said with a strange face: "No! …… The soldiers and generals of the Junshui Battalion are very well-behaved. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Mo also admired the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion, and admired that this Wei army did not massacre the Chu people in the city and loot the property of the Chu people after capturing Runan City, and then recalled what their Chu soldiers did after capturing the Wei city for a few months, Yan Mo couldn't raise his head in shame.
This is a direct reflection of the quality of the armies of the two countries!
"How could the soldiers of the Junshui Battalion do things to slaughter and loot ordinary people?"
Hearing Yan Mo mention the Junshui Battalion, Zhao Hongrun laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't say anything, he was actually worried about the soldiers under Yan Mo at that time.
Who can guarantee that the same Chu people, those soldiers of the Pinghui Army will not loot the people of their country?
"Good!" Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction and revealed: "The Chu people of Runan, this king also plans to move to Great Wei in the future, so don't do anything that causes public anger." …… This king has never liked unnecessary killing. Remember, we're soldiers, not coles! ”
"Obey the teachings of His Royal Highness King Su." Yan Mo respectfully saluted Zhao Hongrun, and his heart improved the character of this King Su even more.
In this matter, Yan Mo seemed to be in favor of it, after all, he was from Chu, so he naturally did not want his compatriots to be slaughtered.
Sure enough, when the Wei soldiers entered Runan City, there were no Wei soldiers knocking on the door of the Chu people and looting their belongings, but those Wei soldiers just stood on the streets, vigilant against the resistance forces in the city that might suddenly kill.
Even if some Chu people secretly watched through the crack in the door, or hid behind the fence of the courtyard to secretly look at the Wei army, the Wei soldiers did not pay attention to them.
This quality and discipline made many of the generals who saw this scene ashamed.
After all, after they conquered the cities of Wei, they did not treat the soldiers and civilians of Wei State like this.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun, Baili Ba and the others were walking towards the inner city under the guidance of Yan Mo, that is, the place where the small and medium-sized clans in Runan City lived.
Along the way, Yan Mo introduced to Zhao Hongrun and others the population composition of Runan City, including which clans in the city and which clans were richer.
Yan Mo knew very well that Zhao Hongrun's "preferential treatment" was only for the ordinary Chu people in Runan City, and for those clans in the city, I believe that this King Su would not be so easy to talk to.
However, Yan Mo is very open to this, anyway, those clans are not related to him, and they don't slaughter them fiercely, where did this King Su get the money to reward the three armies?
"This matter, you and Qu Cheng will sum it up, if they are related to the Ping Xuan Army, you two will spare them as appropriate, those who have nothing to do with it...... Let their clan leader, that's what it's called, right? Let them come to the king's place of residence on their own accord until the sun has set completely on this day. …… If those people turn a blind eye, heh, you and Qu Cheng will watch it. ”
"Yes!" Yan Mo hugged his fists, and he naturally understood what Zhao Hongrun's words "look at it" meant.
Under the guidance of Yan Mo, Zhao Hongrun and his party came to the inner city, and when they saw the large-scale and luxurious mansions, Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly.
Because as Yan Mo introduced before, the unique Hui-shaped city of Chu State, the inner city and the outer city are like two different worlds. I saw that in the inner city, there are magnificent mansions as far as the eye can see, and the houses in the outer city are considered houses? A piece of farmland plus a thatched hut.
This gap between the rich and the poor is several times more severe than that of Wei.
"This king is tired, just find a place."
"Yes."
Yan Mo nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the sergeant of Ping Xuan behind him rushed forward and knocked on the gate of the village.
It didn't take long for the door to open, and a head poked out of the door, and it was a man in his twenties, who should be a domestic slave of this family from his clothes.
"You...... Who are you? What to do? ”
The house slave looked at the many soldiers and generals at the mansion gate, and he seemed to be a little frightened.
Seeing this, Yan Mo stepped forward a few steps and pushed the door open, and immediately, he bowed down and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Hongrun behind him.
"King Su, please."
Glancing at the house slave who fell to the ground with a sluggish face, Zhao Hongrun stepped over the threshold, and muttered a little in his heart.
In principle, Yan Mo's way of finding a place to stay for him is really inappropriate, but when he thought that if he rejected Yan Mo's kindness, he might have to live in the kind of thatched house that was ventilated on all sides, Zhao Hongrun still rationally chose to shut up.
"Overnight, well, just overnight......" (To be continued.) )
