The night was cold, and at this time, Yang Ren, who was imprisoned in a simple prison in Luoyang County, felt desolate.

The other party did not deliberately make things difficult for him, or sent jailers to abuse him. It's just that Yang Ren himself understands that this is a prison, not an inn, and it is already a very good treatment for people to give him a very rancid straw curtain to keep out the cold.

This is a prison in Hanzhong County, and even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Jin Jue naturally knew the dark side of the ancient prisons, even the famous Xiao He, the prime minister of the early Han Dynasty, and the later right prime minister Zhou Bo, were all jailers.

Therefore, as soon as Jin Jue returned to Luoyang County and arranged the matter of defending against the enemy, the first thing he did was to rectify the prison, and he roughly interrogated the prisoners who were still being held in the prison.

Immediately, according to the strategy of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the murderer died, and all these death row prisoners were temporarily arranged in the death camp, and once the war was over, if they were all alive, their sentences would be commuted. As for the rest of the people in the prison, Jin Jue punished them with varying numbers of canes according to their crimes, and then released them all.

As for those who were wronged, they didn't have time to collect evidence, they could only be considered unlucky, and they were able to collect evidence, or they were obviously misjudged, or they were deliberately wronged, and Jin Jue didn't have a rod to blame them.

In the Han Dynasty, the rod was to hit the back, called the spine cane, and Jin Jue always changed it to a buttocks. As the name suggests, it is a spanking.

The back is close to the heart, it is much bigger, or if it is hit hard, it can kill someone at once, and the buttocks have no such concerns.

Jin Jue then announced that he had dismissed the jailers and jailers from the former prison in Luoyang County, and that he had temporarily arranged for soldiers who had been disabled by injuries to serve as jailers here, telling them not to mistreat any prisoners held here.

Therefore, Yang Ren was unfortunate and lucky, he became the only prisoner who was still in prison after Jin Jue arrived. As for the other generals in Zhang Lu's army, regardless of whether they had family members in Hanzhong County or not, they all chose to surrender obediently.

In the still-night cell, no sound could be heard except the squeaking of rats. The two disabled jailers had long since slept in the outer house. When he thought of Hanzhong, Yang Ren had a toothache, it was a whole army of 20,000, he and Yang Bai set off from the beginning of the army to the defeat and capture, and they were actually the first time they saw the other party's main general.

The courage and fierceness of Cheng Lian are greatly beyond Yang Ren's imagination.

But this is not the key, Liu Shan made it clear that the so-called little reincarnated Heavenly Master in Luoyang County actually promised to release him and all the generals above the tun commander in Zhang Lu's army who were willing to return to Hanzhong after a month.

Go back, Yang Ren naturally expects this, but when he thinks that he lost 20,000 people, Yang Bai died in battle, but he can return to Hanzhong alone, how should the king think of him?

What will the king do with him?

Also, why did the other party have to release him after a month?

At that time, Sima Yi and San Liu, who were present, and later Cheng Lian, couldn't understand the reason after listening to Jin Jue's order.

Immediately, Liu Shan was alone, did not take his stupid nephew, and immediately set off for Jingzhou with the letter that Jin Jue gave him. He followed the road of Jin Jue to enter the customs, along the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, out of Wuguan, and went to Jingzhou intermittently. However, before leaving, Jin Jue gave him another task, on the way back, he would go to Jingzhao County to try to capture a few future celebrities without alarming anyone.

During the time when Liu Shan went to Jingzhou, Jin Jue would also send people to Sanfu to investigate the famous ministers and good officials in the Three Kingdoms. Ma Teng is not Lu Bu, Lu Bu is surrounded by Lai Hao and Chen Gong to give him advice, but he only has himself. Therefore, if those talents don't get into their own bowls quickly, sooner or later they will take the initiative to defect to Cao Cao like Jia Kui.

Once Cao Cao seized the opportunity to move Emperor Xian of Han to Xuchang, this trend would become more and more obvious.

Sima Yi brought Jin Jue a reward from the imperial court, and at the same time, he also brought Ma Teng's handwritten letter, and he also wanted Jin Jue to treat Lu Bu and Liu Bei like he did, and recommend a few Sanfu and Liangzhou celebrities for him.

In this regard, Jin Jue did not refuse, but when he asked Sima Yi to return, he brought Ma Teng a letter by the way, in which Jin Jue made it clear that he was still busy dealing with Zhang Lujun and dealing with the government affairs of Luoyang County.

When this letter was sealed, Jin Jue first showed it to Sima Yi, and the old turtle understood at a glance that there was a sentence in this letter that was actually said to him. Jin Jue's army has completely broken up and captured more than ninety percent of Zhang Lujun's soldiers, and Jin Jue doesn't want Sima Yi to tell Ma Teng now.

Sima Yi agreed.

So, why does Jin Jue have to wait for this month?

The reason is very simple, Zhang Lujun's entire army surrendered, Jin Juejun knew, and Sima Yi knew. But Zhang Lu in Hanzhong didn't know about this, so taking advantage of the gap in the information asymmetry between the enemy and us, Jin Jue could also use this opportunity to cheat some more grain and grass from Hanzhong.

Let one of the generals lead Bai Jiahei and 3,000 forward troops to receive the grain and grass sent by Hanzhong, Bai Jiahei is also the Bai Tun chief, and he has now been promoted to the right division of Luoyang County.

With this ruthless Sima of the other department, the surrendered general and the dissenting soldiers of the forward army did not dare to act rashly.

Not to mention, Jin Jue's idea is really amazing, Jin Juejun really used this method to deceive Zhang Lujun three times in a row. However, for the last time, the generals who escorted the grain and grass must see Yang Bai or Yang Ren as one of the main generals, otherwise they will no longer deliver the grain, and in desperation, Bai Jiahei can only launch a surprise attack with his subordinates, and the ambushes who were ambushed in advance also attacked together, and captured the last batch of grain and grass, as well as the generals and soldiers in charge of escorting.

In the end, the first interrogation turned out to be Yang Bai's brother Yang Song, who had never received a letter from his younger brother, and had doubts in his heart, which made the general who escorted the grain and grass ask this. The two brothers agreed that Yang Bai would handwrite a letter to Yang Song every once in a while, one was to report safety, and the other was to let Yang Song know the situation of the former army in advance.

In fact, in the situation at that time, if Yang Ren had only come forward alone, and had not seen Yang Bai, this general would not have delivered the grain. Because, when the grain was delivered the first two times, Yang Ren and Yang Bai did not report the situation of the former army to Zhang Lu.

In the past two months, not only has there been no progress, but he has not even bothered to deliver the war report, how can this not arouse Zhang Lu's suspicions?

Moreover, more importantly, behind the third baggage army that transported grain and grass, there were also 10,000 elite soldiers sent by Zhang Luxin, and the leader of this army was Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei.

The reason why the baggage army was completely annihilated and Zhang Weijun did not appear was because they were blocked by Cheng Lian himself with 3,000 people. Hearing the shouts of killing in front of him, Zhang Weijun couldn't take an inch, and in desperation, he could only lead his elite soldiers to flee back to Hanzhong from the road of Sanguan.

Later, when Sima Yi learned about this, he was also shocked. He really couldn't imagine that the boy who didn't look good could calculate the psychology of the enemy army to such a point. If he was replaced, he would be able to find a way to repel and capture most of the soldiers of the Lu army, of course, he would definitely not be able to capture more than ninety percent of the enemy soldiers at once like Jin Jue. However, he would never have imagined that he would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to deceive the enemy of grain and grass.

As for Jin Jue, if Sima Yi told Ma Teng the news that he had broken Zhang Lujun, Sima Yi was able to understand his willingness, but now that he thinks about it, the reason is very simple, in order to ensure that the news does not leak.

The roads in the four borders of Luoyang County are dangerous, and Jin Jue only needs to send a small number of people to block the four borders to prevent someone in the county from spreading the news to Hanzhong, but Ma Teng is in Hanyang County, and he has not been able to fully control Hanyang County until now, so it is very likely that the news will leak from him.
