The 371st Liu Zhangjun's first general - Wu Lan
When the news that Guanghan Taishou was preparing to cease war with Jin Jue's army reached Jin Jue's army, it made this young military advisor who personally led the army to attack the city for the first time be dumbfounded.
Either fight or surrender, what does a truce mean?
It's not that Fu Gan lacks IQ, nor is it his lack of experience, when he was a child, he always followed his father Fu Xie, and he saw not a lot of wars. The reason for this is that there is no such precedent at all.
Now is not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if you want to make a truce between the princes, either the two sides of the war are evenly matched, and after fighting for a while, no one can help anyone, or the Son of Heaven will come forward to mediate a temporary truce between the two sides.
When Yuan Shaochu was in charge of Jizhou, he fought with Gongsun Zan for Jizhou, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an order to mediate.
But the problem is that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao are both princes of one side, and Wu Yi is just a taishou under Liu Zhang, so why does he think that he can talk to us on an equal footing?
Just as Fu Gan was pondering, Yang Hui on his side reminded in a low voice: "Childe, Zhou Qun! ”
A word woke up the people in the bureau, Fu Gan understood as soon as he heard it, this Wu Yi probably had the same idea as Zhou Qun, let him fight for Liu Zhang's life and death, Wu Yi was unwilling, but let him surrender to Jin Jue's army now, turn the gun to deal with the old master, Wu Yi was also unwilling. Moreover, Fu Gan heard about the relationship between Wu Yi and Liu Zhang from Jin Jue.
At this time, Fu Gan had some understanding of why Wu Yi suddenly had this thought.
However, it is clear that if Wu Yi has been refusing to surrender and gathering troops in Zitong County, this will always be a threat to Jin Jue's army to attack the rear of the Chengdu troops and Langzhong County, and Fu Gan believes that it is not up to him to accept the other party's armistice demand.
Therefore, Fu Gan wrote the situation truthfully into a superstitious letter, and sent a fast horse to pass it to Jin Jue immediately.
This matter still has to be decided by Jin Jue.
A few days later, Fu Gan received the good news that Wu Lan, the commander of the Guanghan vassal state, heard that it was Wu Yi's cousin, and led his troops and horses plus the troops of the three counties of the Guanghan vassal state to surrender to his side.
In this way, Wu Lan was the first general of Liu Zhangjun to take the initiative to surrender to Jin Jue's army, although the official position was not high, and there were only three provinces in the Guanghan vassal state (the counties with large minority populations were called provinces), and the total population was very limited, not to mention the troops. It is reported that Wu Lan's department, which is about to join Jin Jue's army, has a total strength of only about 5,000 people.
However, Wu Lan himself had about 2,000 mountain soldiers composed of barbarians, and his combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Shu soldiers.
In order to play a leading role in demonstration, this is Jin Jue's original words, Fu Gan took people to ten miles away from the camp and personally greeted Wu Lan and his party.
Seeing Wu Lan, after accepting the surrender, Fu Gan personally appointed Wu Lan as the general.
Jin Jue is different from other princes, at present, he is very strict with the general titles of his subordinate generals, and does not let his subordinates ride and ride all over the sky. And Jin Jue also told his thoughts to the more important generals in Jin Jue's army.
Knowing Jin Jue's thoughts, the generals of Jin Jue's army didn't care as much about what name they used to be. In fact, in Jin Jue's army, the competition is the number of troops that an individual can lead.
In addition to the officer in charge of two or three hundred people made by Jin Jue in the bean-sprinkling army sub-plan, the most basic general title who can lead the troops alone in Jin Jue's army is Sima of other departments.
In Jin Jue's army, the number of soldiers that a Sima of another department can be in charge of is not fixed, at least 500, and at most 5000. He divided this official position into five—front, back, left, right, and the small other division. Among them, only the total number of soldiers under the command of Sima of the small division is fixed, and he can only command 500 soldiers.
And generals like Wei Yan, Cheng Lian, Yang Ren and other partial and good generals, although the title of general is very inferior, but there is no upper limit to the number of troops they can command, Jin Jue said exactly the same thing to every partial general and general Yu who was canonized by him - after becoming a general under my command, I don't care how many troops you can recruit by yourself, I just care if you can win the battle, that's all.
And to Li Feng and Fu Tong, the generals with old qualifications, but who have not yet accumulated enough military merits, Jin Jue canonized them as a famous captain, Li Feng as a strong crossbow captain, and Fu Tong as a Panshi captain, they can command an army of no more than 30,000 people, and like Yang Ang, who has special merits, but his military merits have not reached the generals who were named generals by Jin Jue, they were only named ordinary captains, and the total number of soldiers they can command does not exceed 10,000.
"General Wu Lan, you can take the initiative to raise troops and submit to my son-in-law at this time,...... It's really a surprise to Fu Gan! Fu Gan stepped forward and only grabbed Wu Lan's hand, and praised it a little exaggeratedly to show the importance he attached to the other party.
Although Wu Lan is a martial artist, he is not a fool, he can hear that Fu Gan's words are a little exaggerated about the effect that he can produce by surrendering voluntarily, but as long as he is a person, who doesn't want to hear good words?
The death of a confidant is also a kind of thing that Fu Gan's Fu Xie disdained to do when he was alive, and after following Jin Jue for a long time, the thickness of Fu Gan's face has been completely experienced.
"Thank you, thank you. I also know that my own strength as a lieutenant is weak, but I will definitely do my best to serve you as a prince and a military advisor. Wu Lan replied humbly.
Fu Gan said eagerly: "General Wu, go, come back to the camp with me, on the way, you will tell me about the specific situation in Guanghan County, what does your cousin think?" ”
Fu Gan took Wu Lan's hand and personally helped him get on the horse, and then the two of them walked side by side on the way back to the camp.
On the way, Wu Lan told Fu Gan in detail what he knew about Shu County and Guanghan County, and at the same time, he repeated word for word what several important military leaders of Guanghan County had said in the military meeting held in Zitong County that day.
Fu Gan was surprised to find that this Wu Lan, not to mention, he really has a very special ability, although he is not very literate, but he shows a very strong memory.
Before, at the Zitong County Military Conference, Wu Lan was able to repeat all the words that everyone present had said.
That's what it takes.
