Chapter 505
The horse's hooves trampled on the stone slabs, and there was a crisp sound.
In fact, there were already gravel or stone paved roads in this era, but they were usually limited to larger cities, such as Luoyang or Chang'an, and only the main roads had such treatment. In other cities of the same era, it would be good to have a wider road, and I didn't dare to ask for these extravagances.
The same is naturally true of Pingyuan City, although Pingyuan is the largest city in the county, but looking at the entire Han Dynasty, it is somewhat unranked. At least there are several cities in Qingzhou that are much more prosperous than Pingyuan City, not to mention the governance of other states.
However, the city gate is not as good as other places, and usually the city gate is a place of heavy traffic, and the requirements for the road are needless to say. During the war, the city gate was closed, and it was not impossible to prevent the enemy from digging a passage under the city gate, so under the gate of the plain city, a stone paved road was made.
"Lord!" Seeing Yan Shao's mount appear in sight, Guan Hai and the others, who led the men and horses to take the city, stepped forward and saluted.
The sergeants who followed behind several people also saluted one after another.
Yan Shao tugged on the reins and stopped in front of everyone, at this time, a guard stepped forward and wanted to welcome Yan Shao down, but Yan Shao waved his hand and refused. After the guard took two steps back, Yan Shao turned over from the horse, walked in front of Guan Hai and the others, looked at the bloodstained appearance of everyone, and couldn't help but say.
"This time I was able to take the plain, it's all the credit of the generals...", he said and helped the generals in front of him one by one.
"It's a pity that Zhang He's guy ran away..."Standing up from the ground, Guan Hai said with some indignation.
Several other people next to him took this opportunity to hand over Han Meng's head.
Hebei Siting Zhu is naturally one of the strongest generals in the Jizhou army, but there are also several warriors under these four people. For example, Ju Yi, such as Han Meng and others, among them, Han Meng is known for his bravery and loyalty, in comparison, Ju Yi's ability is not bad, but because he has his own ideas, he is not inferior, which makes Yuan Shao feel a little uneasy. Therefore, in the case that the ability is much stronger than Han Meng, it is difficult to say who is much higher than the other in the status of the Jizhou Army.
At least if it weren't for Yan Shao's current threat to Jizhou, Ju Yi's life would probably be gone...
Ju Yi in history was arrogant and arrogant because of his high merit, and was killed by Yuan Shao...
In contrast, Han Meng was loyal, facing the siege of several people on the city wall, although he was defeated, he never thought about surrendering.
It should be said that in terms of treating civil and military affairs, Yuan Shao obviously has a big difference. When dealing with Wenchen and strategists, Yuan Shao attached great importance to the issue of origin, and felt that only those with good backgrounds were truly capable, and as for those from poor backgrounds, no matter how smart they were, they were just clever. On the other hand, when dealing with military generals, they don't care much about their background.
This may also be related to Yuan Shao's background, he was born out of the house, he once mixed with the bottom for a period of time, and he was also friends with Cao Cao, and they got into trouble with each other. During the period of the Ten Permanent Servants, a lot of outlaws were also recruited. So it is very clear that those families have strategies, for example, the Xun brothers are one of the models, but if it is about bravery, compared with those outlaws at the low end of society, it is much worse.
This can be seen by looking at the composition of the civil and military forces around Yuan Shao, among the civil officials, the upper level who can be mixed is basically from a family, or they are old friends who have followed Yuan Shao for many years. However, since he was able to follow Yuan Shao's side back then, there is naturally no need to doubt his background. On the other hand, those generals under his hands, including fierce generals like Yan Liangwen Chou, basically have ordinary backgrounds, and only generals like Zhang He who inherited from Han Fu barely have some backgrounds. ,
But to be honest, there are no big families in places like Hebei.
Especially Han Meng, he is just an ordinary martial artist, he can't even reach the level of a small landlord, and he can get to the position of the general of the Jizhou Army by being appreciated by Yuan Shao. The so-called soldier is a confidant who dies, Yuan Shao treats him like this, of course Han Meng wants to repay him with death. So when he was injured and went into battle, Han Meng had not considered the question of surviving.
Guan Hai and others were able to win a general of the Jizhou Army like Han Meng, and there is no need to say much about the credit.
However, compared with Zhang He, Han Meng, the general of the Jizhou Army, is much worse in terms of quality.
"Yes, it's a pity that I ran away with a Zhang He..."
Looking at Han Meng's deathless appearance on the ground, Yan Shao felt a little regretful.
Of course, he couldn't be like Liu Bei in history, saying things like 'what's the use of killing Xiahou Yuan, if you want to kill him, kill Zhang He'. (Although Xiahou Yuan is the commander-in-chief, he is a brave man, An and Zhang He?) If Zhang He is killed, he will be ten times better than Xiahou Yuan. )
If you really say that, it will be too demoralizing for the few people in front of you, Yan Shao will never do this kind of thing.
And compared with killing Zhang He, Yan Shao was more interested in letting Zhang He surrender to himself.
This is not to say that he is a collector, at least when facing those who can't be surrendered, Yan Shao will never consider this problem. But Zhang He is different, he belongs to the kind of existence that may surrender. For this kind of general, and it is also a military general with a lot of room for growth, Yan Shao is still very interested.
Don't look at the current Qingzhou army is full of talents, especially in terms of military generals, they can be called fierce generals, whether it is against Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, they will not be inferior to the slightest, and even stronger than a lot, but considering the situation that they will face in the future, they will never feel that there are too many talents.
In any case, being able to take the plain can be regarded as having completed the primary goal before the expedition, and Yan Shao is still very satisfied.
When facing Guan Hai and others, he was very pleasant. After entering the city, Yan Shao neither appeased the local family nor went to the county guard's mansion, but ran to the improvised camp to visit the injured sergeant, and by the way, he bought a wave of people's hearts. When he encountered a sergeant who was seriously injured and still gritted his teeth and wanted to get up and salute, he ignored the blood stains on the other party's body and personally stepped forward to help. Although this is already a daily operation, it still touched many sergeants who did not know the truth, and it also boosted their morale a little.
"This lord of ours..."
Looking at Yan Shao's continuous operation, as well as the many moved soldiers who were crying bitterly, Huang Zhong and the others looked at each other.
Yan Shao's Corporal Lixian showed too much, so that they all already had a certain degree of immunity, and they would not be as moved as they were at the beginning, but in their eyes, even if they knew that they were buying people's hearts, they still felt warm in their hearts.
And just when Yan Shao was still buying people's hearts in the city, Zhang He and others, who had finally rushed out of the city, looked at the banner of the Qingzhou Army erected on the city wall behind them, but snorted coldly. Riding the war horse, continue to the north.
Both Xu You and Zhang He were a little apprehensive in their hearts, they lost the plains, and they didn't know how Yuan Shao would punish them.
