Chapter 61: The Captive

"Lord, the enemy has been crushed, what are we going to do next?"

With Shi Shen's words beside him, Yuan Yun took his gaze back from the battlefield. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the wide plain was already full of enemy corpses, and some were half-dead and struggling, but they were quickly replaced by the Powder Army soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, and then became the same existence as other corpses.

The distant river was also a mess, and the camp built by Zhang Jaw had become muddy and dirty after being washed away by the water, and most of the baggage was swept away by the water.

At the end of the battle just now, the last wave of enemies rushing up, no matter how you look at it, are the generals of the opposing army, a total of six people, because they are wearing good armor, so they were only seriously injured by the steel crossbow, even so they will still hold the weapons in their hands tightly, and want to fight until the last moment.

It's just that Yuan Yun didn't give them this opportunity and right, the so-called glorious death in battle is simply bullshit in him, he doesn't want to pay attention to the enemy general's want to die in glory, what he needs is a prisoner, and then force a confession.

The sky gradually darkened, Yuan Yun glanced at the dozens of people who were retreating in the distance, and suddenly frowned again, so he asked Shi Shen beside him: "Li He, have they already gone to the rear of the enemy army?" ”

Shi Shen followed Yuan Yun's eyes and glanced at the fleeing enemies, and then replied: "These people can't escape, Li He brought the Bailai brothers to guard over there." ”

Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction, and added: "You can't let go of any of them!" ”

Xiao Liu had already returned from the cleaned battlefield at this time, and said happily: "No one of our brothers died, only two of them suffered some flesh and skin injuries,"

Yuan Yun was stunned and puzzled: "The enemy didn't even rush to our position, how did they get hurt?" ”

Xiao Liu hesitated, and then replied: "Both of them are old men in the team, and they are young, so they blow up more people than each other, but they made some mistakes when throwing gunpowder bombs, and their legs were broken by the blown rubble. ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, this is not good, how dangerous the gunpowder bomb is, if these people are so nonsense again, they may harm their own people one day.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun sneered: "Pass my order, these two people will not be treated for the time being, first save their lives from being lost, and then lift them up to show the whole army, it is best to let them hurt a little more, shout louder, so that others can see the end of the nonsense." ”

Xiao Liu also felt that it should be more rigorous, these gunpowder bullets are not a joke, no matter how high your martial arts are and how thick your armor is, as long as you explode around you, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

After making a promise, Xiao Liu went down to carry out the order, and he had a way to make the two more painful.

Soon, the 1,000-strong gunpowder army began to gather again, and as for the corpses in the wilderness, they were just hastily pushed together, and then gasoline was poured on them, and all the fires were burned clean.

1,000 people repelled 10,000 people, this kind of military merit is enough for the brothers of the gunpowder army to boast for a long time, so the whole army is elated, waiting to return to Xincheng to receive rewards according to merit, this rule is also set by Yuan Yunding.

In the past, military exploits at most reduced taxes or exempted the family from some servitude, and only those who died received material and monetary compensation.

Yuan Yun felt that this was very unreasonable, so he strongly demanded that appropriate material and financial rewards must be given according to military merits, and that in addition to compensation, the dead soldiers would also be paid monthly by Xincheng to ensure that they would not starve to death.

It's just that these orders were all issued in the capacity of Cao Ang, Cao Cao was very satisfied with this, and liked Yuan Yun's knowledge of current affairs, as long as it was related to the hearts of the bribes, all of them were handed over to Cao Ang to do.

This is also the key to why Cao Cao is relieved that Yuan Yun will develop a new city, because he has clearly realized that Yuan Yun is really a lazy man who eats and waits for death, and now the headache is how to mobilize his enthusiasm and then work for the Cao family, rather than worrying that Yuan Yun's power in his hands is too big and becomes a hidden danger.

As for Guo Jia and the others, they even want to use Yuan Yun to death, but this kid is too easy to use, as long as everything is handed over to him, he can basically do it properly, but there are some rotten butts that need to be wiped up, but they are still very good.

"If Luoyang City can prosper again like Wancheng, it will be this little bastard who will bring disaster to several big families, and I, Cao Cao, will admit it." This is what Cao Cao said to his subordinates.

Yuan Yun was naturally unaware of the calculations behind these at the moment, and what he was thinking about now was to eliminate the killer scouts hidden behind them.

Looking at the six generals who were tied up in front of him, Yuan Yun's heart suddenly moved, wondering if he should also follow Cao Ang's example and loosen their bonds, and then he could pull them over and become his own subordinates?

As soon as the thought came to mind, one of them suddenly broke free from the two soldiers beside him, and then rushed over fiercely, so frightened that Yuan Yun suddenly jumped up, and just wanted to turn around and flee, the person who rushed had been kicked to the ground by Shi Shen's big feet.

Looking at Yuan Yun's embarrassed appearance, everyone present showed an embarrassed expression, and the six kneeling enemy generals were full of disdain.

Unlucky, it seems that Cao Ang's trick didn't work, and now these people are probably looking down on themselves, how can they take refuge?

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun asked helplessly, "Who instructed you to come to Xudu?" ”

One of the veterans snorted fiercely and said: "Lao Tzu is a bandit, specializing in robbing homes and houses, and today it is planted in the hands of your little man, which is considered to be God's eyes, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, and you want to waste Lao Tzu's time here." ”

Yuan Yun's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he just wanted to kill this person with one shot, when he suddenly heard Li He's loud laughter not far away, and saw him laugh as he walked: "Lord, the other party's master general has been caught!" ”

Zhang Jaw was covered with dust, looking very embarrassed, and at this moment, he had been tied up by Wuhuanda and dragged by four or five soldiers to Yuan Yun's side.

Yuan Yun glanced at the appearance of Zhang Jaw, which can only be described as strong, and it is very strong, not like Xu Chu who is a little obese, nor black and thin like Xiahoudun.

Zhang Jaw looks like he is thirty or forty years old, there is no fear in his expression, his bronze complexion is matched with a straight face, this person should be a very sincere person.

When he opened his jaw in front of Yuan Yun, he was first surprised, he didn't want to lose in the hands of Xiao'er today, and he was suddenly a little lost, if the other party was a famous general, he might feel better, at this moment...... I don't know how to describe his own mood anymore.

"I just want to die quickly, and I don't want to say anything else." Zhang Jaw finished quietly, and then stood quietly in place and closed his eyes.

Yuan Yun was silent for a moment, looked at the several veterans kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the resolute open jaw, knowing that he must not be able to ask anything, these fighting men have long been indifferent to life and death.

In the battle of Guandu later, Zhang Jaw should have voted for Cao Cao, so this person should not be killed, maybe he will bewitch Cao Ang, and he can have one more security captain in his new city.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun smiled slightly: "General Zhangjaw is really mighty, I respect the heroic man the most, so I plan to let you all go." ”

Li He, who was beside him, was taken aback and persuaded: "The lord can't do it, and letting the enemy go privately will be punished." ”

Yuan Yun shook his hand and said, "I have my own opinions, and the punishment is just enough, and Cao Sikong has less punishment?" Not bad this time. ”

Zhang Jaw was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Do you know that I am Yuan Shao's general Zhang Jaw, if you catch me to receive merit, it will definitely be a great achievement." ”

Yuan Yun said in his heart, you are really a sincere person, is it because you don't want to live anymore, so persuade the enemy generals not to let go of themselves? This is stupid, I really don't understand, no wonder you will be a deputy general for the rest of your life, because you are not smart enough.

"General Zhang Jaw doesn't think about himself, he should also think about your subordinates, I decided to let you all go." Yuan Yun continued to increase his chips.

Zhang Jaw glanced at his general, sighed secretly, and said, "I don't know who this little general's surname is?" In the future, if you see you on the battlefield, I will let you go once with my open jaw as a reward. ”

"No, no, you can't catch me for the rest of your life, my name is Yuan Yun, and now I am the Xuanwei Marquis canonized by the Son of Heaven, although General Zhang Jaw wrote it down, I dare to guarantee that no one can capture me alive." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Jaw's expression was really soothed, so he continued: "But I have one condition for letting you go. ”

Zhang Jaw was suddenly full of caution and asked, "Yuan Hou may come here." ”

Yuan Yun rubbed his hands and said, "My concubine was attacked in Xu Capital before, but General Zhang Jaw did this?" ”

Zhang Jaw was stunned, shook his head and said: "I was just ordered to come to attack Xudu, but now I have been broken by Yuan Hou, the mission has failed, it is impossible to enter Xudu, how can I talk about sneaking up on your concubine?" ”

Yuan Yun sneered: "Those who attacked my concubine have obviously entered General Zhangjaw's camp, everyone is a man, why hide it like this?" ”

Zhang Jaw thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Before, Yuan Xi Gongzi once sent people to Xudu, and later the task was completed, so he went to meet in our army, if Yuan Hou's concubine was attacked, I am afraid it will be related to these people." ”

This is reasonable, Yuan Xi's bastard definitely did this kind of thing, and he wrote a letter to me before, damn, it was probably a preview in advance, telling himself that he Yuan Xi hadn't forgotten the old things about Xu Du.

"Where are these people now?" Yuan Yun asked again.

Zhang Jaw hesitated, finally shook his head, and said, "I don't know where to go." ”

Yuan Yun saw the expression of Zhang Jaw, and already had an idea in his heart, this thing can't even lie, what a sincere person is he?

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun said to Li He's refreshing order: "Release people!" ”

Although Li He had a lot of doubts in his heart, Yuan Yun had already given an order, and if he didn't implement it, he would violate the order, which would immediately make the lord lose face, and even he would have to eat a military stick, so without hesitation, he cut off the rope on Zhang's jaw with a sword.

Zhang Jaw arched his hand and said, "There will be a period later!" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said with a smile: "We will definitely meet again, but at that time, it may not be an enemy, maybe I will invite General Zhang Jaw to sit at home and drink two glasses of unique wine in my house, this is an agreement, if General Zhang Jaw encounters this kind of life and death event again in the future, he must remember my agreement." ”

Zhang Jaw listened inexplicably, and he didn't know what Yuan Yun was talking nonsense, in short, now he could take his generals alive, so there was nothing to argue, so he quickly loosened the ties of his subordinates and left the camp of the Gunpowder Army in great strides.
