Chapter 1097: The Proud Xu You
When the city was stable, LΓΌ Bu immediately summoned the generals in the army to discuss the further capture of Jizhou, as long as Jizhou was in the hands of the Bingzhou army, it would be very difficult for LΓΌ Bu to give up Jizhou again.
However, the resistance in Jizhou is not to be underestimated, especially the Taishou of the counties, who have not weak soldiers and horses in their hands, and how to pacify Jizhou as soon as possible has become a top priority.
Although the weather was a little cold, the generals in the army were excited after this victory, and the victory of the war meant that there would be more credit to be gained.
"Now that our army has captured Yecheng, this battle can go so smoothly, and the credit of the soldiers fighting on the battlefield is inseparable." Lu Bu said with a smile.
The generals in the tent were talking excitedly, but all the generals who were able to participate in this meeting had a high status in the army, and in terms of looking at things, it was not something that ordinary soldiers could reach.
Coughing lightly, after everyone quieted down, Lu Bu solemnly introduced: "This person is Xu Yu, the word is far away, presumably many generals are no strangers to Ziyuan, this time our army attacked Yecheng, Ziyuan played an important role, if it wasn't for Ziyuan's response, our army would have more casualties, from now on, Ziyuan is an official under the command of Benhou, and temporarily follow Benhou's side to plan military affairs." β
Xu You got up and saluted to the generals in the field, his expression could not hide his arrogance, he was the biggest hero of the capture of Jizhou by the Hezhou army this time, if it weren't for him, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to break through Yecheng.
Guo Jia's brows furrowed slightly, he was a little dissatisfied with Xu You's attitude, although the generals in the Bingzhou Army respected the people with merit, they were a little resistant to the arrogant people, and sure enough, many generals saw Xu You's behavior, and their expressions could not hide their hesitation.
"This is Zhang He, one of the four pillars of Hebei, the outer city can be easily breached, General Zhang is indispensable, Jun Yi can select 3,000 elite soldiers from the soldiers who surrendered in Jizhou, train soldiers and horses according to the standards of the Bingzhou army, and after breaking through Gaolan, the halberd warriors will return to the command of Jun Yi." Lu Budao.
Many generals looked at Zhang He's gaze inevitably a little hesitant, as for what Hebei Siting Zhu said, in their eyes, it was nothing more than that, and from Lu Bu's tone, they could feel that they attached great importance to this general of the Jizhou army.
Zhang He was overjoyed when he heard this, he had some understanding of the system of the state army, and if he wanted to become a general, it was not as simple as it seemed, and he needed more credit, with his credit for opening the city gate, perhaps it was more than enough for other princes, but it was still a little insufficient in the state army.
"Don't thank me soon." Xu You reminded in a low voice.
Zhang He reacted from his surprise, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the trust of the Marquis of Jin, the last general will definitely do his best to train an elite." β
Lu Bu nodded slightly, Zhang He's ability to command and train troops is beyond doubt, the halberd soldiers he trained only encountered the wolf cavalry, otherwise even if the ordinary cavalry of the Bingzhou Army encountered, it would be the end of the halberd sinking into the sand, which is also the reason why Lu Bu attaches importance to Zhang He.
After introducing the two, Lu Bujing looked at Zhen Yao who was not far away and said, "This is Zhen Yao, the head of the Zhen family." β
Although it was a brief introduction, it still attracted the attention of the generals in the account, and there were not a few families who followed Xu You to join Lu Bu this time, Zhen Yao was able to be introduced by Lu Bu, it can be seen that in general, even Xu You did not expect that someone from the Zhen family could enter here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although our army has captured Yecheng, there are still remnants of Yuan Shao's forces in Jizhou." Lu Bu's voice suddenly mentioned.
The generals in the tent were shocked when they heard this, having the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces meant that there would be more credit to be taken, and the credit for seizing the city was much greater than the current one.
Seeing that Lu Bu set his eyes on himself, Guo Jia said: "Now among the counties in Jizhou, the most powerful ones are the Hejian and Bohai, and the defender Gao Lan between the rivers is one of the four pillars of Hebei, although he was defeated by General Zhang Liao before, there are still more than 5,000 people under his command, Yuan Shao was the Taishou of Bohai before, and there are more than 3,000 defenders in Bohai City, which cannot be ignored. β
"Huang Zhong, I ordered you to lead the Lieyang Archers, plus five thousand foot soldiers, to take the river, Zhang Yan is the deputy general of the army, I don't know if General Huang and General Zhang can have confidence?" Lu Budao.
Huang Zhong said angrily: "The last general will definitely break through the river." β
Zhang Yan also echoed his words, he didn't expect that such an important task as seizing Hejian would still be his turn.
"Okay, after the two generals return to the army, they will gather their troops and horses and wait for Benhou's order." Lu Bu said with a smile, Huang Zhongnai is a pivotal figure in the Bingzhou army, and Zhang Yan showed good ability on the battlefield in Jizhou, capturing Julu County, laying a solid foundation for the Youzhou army to attack Jizhou.
"Whoa." Huang Zhong and Zhang Yan hugged their fists in unison.
"Marquis of Jin, he is willing to lead an army to attack the Bohai Sea." Zhang He came out of the queue.
Seeing Lu Bu's brows frowning slightly, Zhang He said: "Zhu Ling, the defender of the Bohai Sea, has some friendship with the last general, and the last general has the confidence to persuade him to surrender. β
"In this case, Jun Yi led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Bohai, and Li Yan led 500 flying horsemen to assist." Lu Budao, Zhang He has just taken refuge, he must be a little uneasy, after all, Zhang He was one of the four court pillars of Hebei before, if he suddenly feels that he is not valued in the Bingzhou army, it will be extremely unfavorable for the future, and Zhang He can have the confidence to seize the Bohai Sea, which is also extremely beneficial to the army.
Zhang He hugged his fists and said.
A different color flashed in Xu You's eyes, he had promoted Zhang He a lot in the Jizhou Army, and he had a certain understanding of Zhang He's character, but Zhang He hadn't mentioned this matter to him before.
As an important state and county of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou is not only rich, but also covers a vast area, and after Lu Bu dispatched troops, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Yecheng.
After everyone dispersed, Lu Bu left Zhang He behind, after all, the general who had just taken refuge was entrusted with the important task, if he felt that Zhang He could not be trusted, Lu Bu would definitely not use it again, as a general under his command, he had to ensure absolute loyalty to him.
Xu You showed a contemplative look on his face, and left with a heavy pace, bringing Zhang He from the Jizhou army to the Bingzhou army, Xu You has a certain selfishness, he knows Zhang He's ability, if he can do something in the Bingzhou army, with the relationship between the two, Xu You's position under Lu Bu will be more stable, and he has the grace of knowing Zhang He, otherwise even if the Jizhou army attacks Jizhou without Zhang He's help, he can also help the Jizhou army break through Yecheng.
