Chapter 164: Tao Sheng's Death.

"Why don't you take it in, general."

Zhang He smiled and shook his head, since all his troops have returned, there are only about 5,000 people, and more than 5,000 people have been incorporated into 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the hidden danger is too great.

"The general should know that there are many old and weak women and children in the Montenegrin army, although they are numerous, but they have little combat power, we only need to select their young and strong elites, and the remaining Montenegrin army will be vulnerable even if they gather again."

Zhang He lowered his head and pondered, this Li Zhao is right, the old and weak women and children in the Montenegrin army account for at least seventy percent, and some of them are coerced.

Some are because they are desperate and can only follow the thieves, and only half of them are young and strong, and if only these young people are co-opted, then the rest will have little combat effectiveness.

"I have followed Tian Junshi for more than ten years, although I am not proficient in political affairs, but this matter has also been handled several times by assisting the military division, if the general can be trusted, this matter can be handed over to the subordinates."

Zhang He suddenly turned around and looked at him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate what he was thinking, and Li Zhao looked at him without fear.

After a long time, Zhang He said, "Okay, according to what you say, this matter will be entrusted to you, and the number of soldiers shall not exceed 10,000. ”

Li Zhao agreed with indignation, and actually went out of the camp alone, and single-handedly went to recruit the Black Mountain sergeants, which is rare in the world for this courage.

After letting Li Zhao take in the soldiers, Jiang Yiqu also brought the county lieutenants of the county pawns over, and they were basically led by the county lieutenants.

"You have worked hard, but fortunately you have led the army to help, and someone can win this big victory."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the audience were not very good-looking, no matter how they sounded, they felt as if they were mocking them, and Zhang He was indeed mocking them, but he smiled very sincerely.

Because he was originally here to grab credit, and Zhang He's position is much higher than them, and after this war, as long as there is no accident, Zhang He will inevitably become a radiant star for Yuan Shao to reuse in the future.

It is not impossible to even stand side by side with Yan Liang and others in the future, so the people who were ridiculed could only endure it without getting angry, and put all the grievances in their hearts.

"Although the Black Mountain thieves here have been broken, but the battle of Dingxiang is very fierce, and a certain will pull out the camp to help General Yan on the same day, but it is inconvenient to march with many prisoners, and I hope that you will serve in the same court and help a certain take some prisoners."

"General Zhang, ...... are you here?"

Everyone in the audience didn't react for a while, looking at him in disbelief, Zhang He gave them a positive look.

"What, you guys are in a dilemma?"

Zhang He was surprised.

"No, no."

waved their hands one by one, and how could there be no reason not to take credit for sending them to the door? ”

"Thank you for your help, I still have official business, so I won't leave you, please take it."

Now that he has expressed himself and reached an agreement, Zhang He also issued an eviction order.

"Then I won't bother the general when I wait."

The county lieutenants also couldn't ask for it, and they were now full of merit, and they hurriedly submitted their farewells.

As soon as they left the camp, they threw themselves into the great cause of capturing the prisoners, and they were very busy.

At the same time, Li Zhao's integration work was also fruitful, and there was no way that the life of the Montenegrin Army was too hard.

It can be said that there is no meal, and the identity is still a thief, and he needs to be frightened every day, and now that he has the opportunity to become a regular officer and soldier, how can he still be unwilling?

Li Zhao found the Xiaoqu Shuai of the Black Mountain Army in the rout, moved him with affection, and knew it with profit. None of these Xiaoqu marshals were loyal to the Montenegrin army.

It's just that they want to make profits from the chaos, most of them were just bandit leaders who occupied the mountains and were kings, and they took refuge in Zhang Yan just because they felt that it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Now that the Montenegrin army is doomed to failure, they have all become lost dogs, not to mention profit, Li Zhao appeared when he was really at a loss.

Knowing that the officers and soldiers were willing to accept and recruit them, they all agreed after a little struggle, and assisted Li Zhao to recruit the young and strong soldiers together.

Before noon, Li Zhao had already collected 10,000 soldiers, and in order to prevent them from causing chaos, Zhang He confiscated all their weapons, and only let them eat half full in terms of food, so as to minimize the possibility of danger.

But this has already made the surrendered Montenegrin soldiers grateful, and they can actually eat half full, and sure enough, the days of the officers and soldiers are so luxurious!

After all this, Zhang He finally felt at ease, and all that was left was to wait. Han Meng pursued all the way according to Zhang He's order, and directly chose to chase west.

Along the way, he didn't know how many Montenegrin soldiers he encountered, how many corpses he left behind, and in the end he didn't even know how far he had run, only that he had been going west.

Iron hooves trampled on the earth, raising dust all over the sky, and Tao Sheng seemed to have evaporated from the world, and just when Han Meng was about to give up, a team of Black Mountain soldiers appeared in his sight.

Unlike those defeated soldiers, this army still maintained a relatively neat formation, numbering more than 3,000 people, and more than 20 cavalry.

"Tao Sheng!"

On the way, Han Meng captured a Black Mountain Army guard, pointed to the person who was guarded by the cavalry in the middle, and shouted.

When the Yizhou cavalry heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted, and Han Meng was also overjoyed, shaking his spirits, clamping his legs hard, and rushing forward with a sword.

The horse with excellent endurance under his crotch seemed to know his master's thoughts, and his hooves flew upside down, and his speed was much faster than before.

"General, the officers and soldiers are coming!"

The Black Mountain Army in front also discovered Han Meng, Tao Sheng looked back, and just saw Han Meng beheading the three soldiers directly with a knife, and remembered the figure in the firelight last night, and his heart was broken.

"General, you go first, and I will lead the infantry to stop the officers and soldiers."

A fairly calm Qu Shuai said, although he was also very scared, but thinking of his family members who were taken care of by Tao Sheng, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, hoping that his sacrifice could allow Tao Sheng to release his family.

"Okay, you must stop the officers and soldiers."

Tao Sheng hurriedly said, saying that he didn't look back and galloped wildly, and whipped a few more times with his horsewhip.

"Quick, array!"

The commander urged the infantry to line up, and under his pressure, the soldiers reluctantly formed a phalanx, ready to meet the onslaught of the cavalry.

Han Meng glanced at it with disdain, this is the plain, why should I rush to your phalanx? My target was only Tao Sheng, so he led his army to bypass it.

That Qu Shuai was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he had already made a sacrifice, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of Yizhou would bypass by, everything he said and did became a joke.

"Hurry up and chase him, you must stop him!"

Qu Shuai roared angrily, but how could two legs catch up with four legs.

Moreover, these soldiers ran all night and one morning, and their physical strength had long been exhausted, and they could no longer run.

Because of a little detour, there was a little distance between the Yizhou cavalry and Tao Sheng, and Tao Sheng did not hesitate to use horsepower when he encountered a threat to his life, it seemed that it would be difficult to catch up in a short time.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Han Meng ordered.

The accompanying knights immediately stretched out their bows and arrows, and the white feathers "swished" by, and the fleeing Montenegrin army in front fell down from time to time.

"Shoot horses, don't shoot people!"

Han Meng hurriedly said, a living Tao Sheng is much more valuable than a dead Tao Sheng, in this kind of stable situation, of course, it is necessary to capture it alive. Fortunately, none of the arrows just now hit Tao Sheng, which made Han Meng's face a little better.

Just when the Yizhou cavalry was about to continue shooting arrows, a forest appeared in front of him, Tao Sheng panicked and immediately rushed in, but the trees blocked the arrows behind him instead, giving him a chance to breathe.

Feng Lin didn't enter, this is the holy law of soldiers, Han Meng has read military books since he was a child, and naturally knows it, but this place is already a hundred miles away from the battlefield, and it is impossible for the Black Mountain Army to ambush him, so he rushed in with the cavalry regardless of it.

After entering the forest, he saw Tao Sheng's whole person fall to the ground, it turned out that he broke through overnight and ran for nearly a hundred miles, and the horse that Tao Sheng sat on was just an ordinary war horse, so he naturally couldn't stand it.

As soon as the war horse's legs were weak, Tao Sheng was thrown out, and in a panic, his head hit the tree directly.

"It's him, that's right!"

After Han Meng asked several Montenegrin soldiers to identify him, he determined that this person was Tao Sheng, and his heart blossomed.

Han Meng suddenly smiled, and finally caught up with him, although the Black Mountain Army was not broken by me, but the credit of capturing Tao Sheng was enough for him to glorify his ancestors!

"Quick, tie him up." Han Meng hurriedly commanded.

But when the two soldiers walked over with their bodies, they found that Tao Sheng was dead, Han Meng was shocked when he heard this, he thought that Tao Sheng had just fainted.

I didn't expect to be killed directly, is this the legendary waiting for the rabbit?

Han Meng ran out of more than 100 miles this night and morning, and arrived at the border of the Xiongnu, fortunately he didn't meet the Xiongnu, otherwise he would have to chase Tao Sheng, and he would have to get in if he was not careful.

"The lord offered a reward for Tao Sheng, and I didn't expect to go for you in the end."

"Oh my God, daughter, how much does this cost!"

"Han Sima, you have issued it now."

The cavalry behind Han Meng looked at him with envious eyes, and he didn't say that it was for these ordinary sergeants, even some small families were not a small amount, enough to squander them for a lifetime.

"Tao Sheng is one of the first evils of the Montenegrin army, it is normal for the court to have a heavy reward, this Sima can have today's merits, and it depends on the brothers to work together to help, when you see the general, you will ask for credit, if you have something, you will naturally share it with your brothers!"

Although Han Meng is a big old man, he treats his soldiers like brothers, although Han Meng is a general and a general of the state and the Yizhou cavalry have not been together for a long time, but it also makes the Yizhou cavalry happy and convinced, which is why Han Meng is willing to charge with the cavalry under his command as soon as he gives the order.

"Thank you, General!"

The cavalry under his command looked at Han Meng excitedly, what the soldier was most afraid of was that the boss was corrupt and wealthy, after all, if he met such a boss, the utilitarian benefits of himself and others would be far away.

If the credit is reported this time, it is impossible to say that a small number of people such as themselves can be promoted to the next level, and even if they don't, they will definitely be rewarded.

"Don't call me a general, I'm just another Sima. I'm not a few years older than you, so if you don't dislike it, call me big brother. ”

"Big brother!"

The cavalry under his command looked at Han Meng happily one by one, and they didn't know where they thought they were a horse bandit.
