Chapter 394: Deception and Frustration

Cao Cao's words were sincere, but they could not completely dispel the doubts in Yuan Shao's heart. In the end, Yuan Shao came up with a compromise solution. He divided the more than 60,000 soldiers under his command into two, sent 30,000 people led by Zhang He and Gao Lan, and immediately set off to Wuchao to rescue, and the other more than 30,000 people were personally led by Yuan Shao, with Yan Liang and Wen Chou as generals, and stormed the Nanyang army camp.

Yuan Shao's decision, Cao Cao was powerless to interfere, so he could only use more than 30,000 soldiers of Cao's army, under the leadership of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, who had just returned from defeat, to cooperate with Yuan's army to storm the Nanyang army camp one after another. In the Nanyang army, there are still more than 20,000 Nanyang infantry soldiers under the command of Wen Ping, which are the main force of the camp. There are also more than 10,000 flying cavalry troops of Zhang Liao, who can then launch a counterattack against the enemy. In addition, there are still more than 20,000 people of Wei Yan's Fucha army in Zhongmu City, and the strength of the Nanyang army is actually not weak. What's more, the Nanyang Army has long been ready to defend itself. It is not easy for the Yuan Cao coalition to win a quick victory!

At the beginning of the Sino-Mu War, the Battle of Wuchao had come to an end. He Xian led the flying cavalry army, blocked the gate of Yuan's camp, and at the same time ordered the flying cavalry sergeant to shout that those who surrendered would not be killed. Seeing that the fire in the camp was gradually spreading, Chun Yuqiong had no choice but to organize the Jizhou soldiers to break through. The camp that originally protected the Jizhou soldiers has now become the support of the Nanyang Flying Cavalry. The 3,000 men and horses of the Flying Cavalry Army gathered at the gate of the Yuan Army to block the Jizhou soldiers who participated in the breakthrough. More than 1,000 other horsemen cruised left and right, shooting and killing the small group of Jizhou soldiers who tried to climb over the wall. The arrows of the flying cavalry were raining down, and the thousands of Jizhou soldiers who participated in the first wave of breakthrough suffered heavy casualties. Chun Yuqiong saw that things could not be violated, and chose to surrender alone. Those who surrendered to He Xian together with Chun Yuqiong also had more than 10,000 Jizhou soldiers. The worst thing is frustration, I wanted to remind Chun Yuqiong to raise his vigilance, but he was involved in this unwarranted disaster and became a prisoner of the Nanyang Army in a daze.

When the roster was counted afterwards, Chun Yuqiong did not hesitate to betray the identity of the frustrated professor in order to make meritorious contributions, but it gave He Xian an unexpected gain. However, his temper stinks, and he would rather die than be salty. He Xian was reluctant to kill him, so he could only detain him and deal with it later. The biggest problem in front of He Xian now is how to deal with these more than 10,000 Jizhou soldiers.

In this battle, He Xian only had a total of 10,000 people, and more than 1,000 people were killed and injured in the process of fighting, and now there are more than 8,000 people who continue to maintain combat effectiveness. There are more soldiers than the Nanyang army. More importantly, Zhongmu has already started a war, and He Xian needs to quickly return to Zhongmu, take advantage of the situation to flank the Yuan Cao coalition army, and spread the results of the Battle of Wuchao to the Yuan army, causing panic in the Yuan army. If you slowly return with tens of thousands of pawns and resist Zhongmu, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold.

"Lord, if you don't ...... all these soldiers" Tai Shici gestured with his hand to a knife, indicating whether to kill all these Jizhou soldiers.

These are all sturdy Jizhou men, the elite of the Yuan army, if they are allowed to go back, I am afraid that they will be recruited by Yuan Shao again and become the enemy of the Nanyang army. Killing them all may be the best option, but it is the most inhumane option. These Jizhou soldiers are all between 15 and 25 years old, which is the most golden age for a man. 10,000 Jizhou soldiers represent 10,000 families of Jizhou people. Although they are now under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao and are enemies, it is undeniable that they are all Han Chinese and the people of the Great Khan. He Xian didn't think about Tai Shici's plan, but in the end he still didn't adopt it.

Whether it is to buy people's hearts or the kindness of women, He Xian decided to keep this 10,000 more fires for the Han people. But in line with the principle that thieves do not go empty, He Xian had a plan and decided to make a fuss about these 10,000 soldiers to see if he could win over a cattle man for his own use.

He Xian ordered someone to call Fu Zhu to the big tent, and asked Fu Zhu with an angry face how to deal with this Wan Ji Prefecture surrender.

Fu Zhu laughed and said: "I have heard that the hussar general loves the people like a son, how can he kill and capture such a thing that violates the peace of heaven? Don't lie to me, general! ”

"Mr. Gong and Mr. don't put a high hat on Ben General!" He Xian said with a gloomy face: "If you don't kill before, it doesn't mean that you won't kill now, and it doesn't mean that you won't kill in the future!" Of course, the general did not like to kill prisoners, but now the situation is compelling. Yuan Cao's coalition army was strong, and the Nanyang army was suffering from the enemy's lack of food and grass everywhere, and for the sake of the overall situation, Ben General had to weaken Yuan Shao's strength as much as possible. Killing these 10,000 people can relieve the pressure on the Nanyang Army, and let He Xian bear all the sins! ”

The more He Xian spoke, the more realistic he became, and his words revealed full of killing intent. Frustrated with his previous judgment. Because what He Xian said was the truth, these difficulties are also the difficulties that the Nanyang Army is encountering now. Killing these Jizhou soldiers is indeed a time-saving and labor-saving method for the Nanyang army! Although He Xian has the name of benevolence and righteousness, he is also a hero in his bones. Heroes, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal!

Frustration's face began to change, and finally he stubbornly said: "Frustrated and untalented, I implore the general to let go of these pawns!" ”

"Well said! Mr. Jiu Wengong and Mr. Guangkai studied in Jizhou, and they are good people. The general's request is not difficult, can Mr. Gong and Mr. dare to exchange his own life for these 10,000 lives? He Xian asked.

Frustrated for a moment: "The general is a sword, and the frustration is a fish." The general wants to give the order, why do you need to tell it, just take it! ”

"Definitely!" He Xian shook his head and said, "The frustration that was going to serve the Nanyang Army and the people of the Han Dynasty is a corpse?" ”

"This ......" Fu Zhi didn't expect that He Xian was going around and around to threaten his loyalty with the lives of these 10,000 Jizhou soldiers. From a good point of view, this is He Xian's emphasis on frustration; From a bad point of view, He Xian's handling of 10,000 lives in such a way is really child's play.

"If Mr. Gong and Mr. don't believe it, Ben Jiang will order Ziyi to kill hundreds of Jizhou soldiers now, and let Mr. see if Ben Jiang can be ruthless?" He Xian pressed forward step by step.

"No need!" Fu Zhu waved his hand, sighed and said, "Fu Zhu is willing to surrender, please general...... Lord, let go of those Jizhou pawns~"

"Good! Just as Mr. Gong and Mr. wish! He Xian changed his cloudy face, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "However, those Jizhou soldiers will not know that their lives were saved by you!" ”

"Frustration and saving people is out of public interest, and there is no expectation of return, everything is arranged by the lord!" He replied.

"Good!" He Xian turned his head and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, you go and gather all the Jizhou subordinates, and you are going to hold a conference for them!" ”

Tai Shi Ci hugged his fists and promised. Soon, 10,000 disarmed Jizhou soldiers were gathered in the square and sat on the ground.
