After expelling Chu Gong, Zhu Jun was in a happy mood for a while: "Okay, the annoying guy has been driven away, since your lord wants to be the general's internal response, what is his specific plan?" ”

"After the general showed his might and took the outer city in one fell swoop yesterday, the Yellow Turban Army in the city had no heart to fight, but they were afraid that the general would be like Huangfu Song, and after surrendering, he slaughtered and surrendered his soldiers, so although most people already knew that the chance of victory was slim, they still did not dare to go out of the city to surrender to the general.

Zhu Junmo rubbed his thick beard: "Everyone else is afraid of General Ben, isn't your lord afraid?" ”

"Afraid, how not afraid? Therefore, when my lord sent me here, he asked me to bring only one condition, as long as the general can guarantee that after my lord surrenders, he can spare the 13,000 soldiers including him, he is willing to go to the soup for the general. ”

"Oh? Just thirteen thousand? According to Ben General's understanding, there are at least 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves in the city, and your lord only asks Ben to forgive more than 13,000 people, including him? Zhu Jun originally thought that Han Zhong would put forward any conditions, but in the end he only asked himself to forgive the guilt of 13,000 people.

Han Jin had a little helplessness on his face: "Although the lord of my family also wants the general to spare all the Yellow Turban troops in the city, this kind of request is beyond the scope of my lord's ability. And those 13,000 people are all soldiers under the command of my lord, and most of them are locals of Wancheng. It's just that because Zhang Mancheng invaded Wancheng, these people didn't have time to escape, and they could only be coerced into being thieves. After all, the head of my family is from Wancheng, and he still wants to try to save these former neighbors. ”

"Whether they were forced or not, but these people are thieves after all. Your father-in-law may be able to offset his sins, but others can be spared even if they are guilty of capital crimes, but they cannot escape living crimes. "Although Zhu Jun is not as murderous as Huangfu Song, he will not let go of these yellow turban thieves easily. Nanyang was originally a prosperous county, but it has become extremely dilapidated due to natural and man-made disasters in recent years. In Zhu Jun's plan, if the Yellow Turban thieves in the inner city were captured, they could be driven to cultivate wasteland and build houses, and with the help of more than 100,000 laborers, it would only take a few years to rejuvenate Nanyang.

"It is already the best result for the general to spare their lives, and the rest of my family lords dare to expect too much." Han Jin seemed to have guessed that Zhu Jun would not let those Yellow Turban soldiers go so easily, so after getting the promise that his lord could atone for his crimes, he did not argue about the treatment of the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Zhu Jun was very satisfied with Han Jin's knowledge, in his opinion, he had the absolute initiative on the battlefield, Han Zhong's surrender was just the icing on the cake rather than a send-off, if Han Zhong wanted to make some excessive demands based on this, Zhu Jun would never agree: "Your lord's request has been agreed to by the general, how does your lord plan to take the inner city in response to the general?" ”

Originally, Zhang Mancheng also had several commanders under his command, but after yesterday's battle, there were not many generals who could be used. The lord of my family was arranged by Zhang Mancheng to guard the east gate of the inner city, and the general can lead the army to the east gate of the inner city tonight, and when he waits for the son, he will open the east gate and let the general drive straight in, and take Wancheng in one fell swoop. ”

"Very good, go back and tell your lord, General Ben will definitely arrive tonight, so that he must not miss the opportunity to atone for his sins." Zhu Jun didn't ask for other people's opinions, and directly accepted Han Zhong's surrender with a wave of his hand, and completely agreed with Han Zhong's dedication plan.

"Obey the general's teachings, and I will return to my father-in-law." Han Jin bowed his hand and then took his leave and left.

After Han Jin walked away, Zhu Jun looked around at the generals in the tent: "What do you think of this Han Zhongtou's sincere dedication?" ”

Sun Jian shouted with a big grin: "The loss of the thief army in the outer city of Wancheng has become a turtle in the urn, and it is a matter of time before it fails, this Han Zhong is unwilling to be buried with Zhang Mancheng, and secretly sent someone to surrender to the general, but it is still a little clever." It's just that this person first betrayed Chu Gong, and now he wants to betray Zhang Mancheng. Even if the general accepts such a villain, he must no longer be appointed. ”

Zhu Jun nodded, and then turned his gaze to the others.

Qin Jie, the current guard of Nanyang County, has been frowning since he heard the news that Han Zhong was going to surrender, and when he saw Zhu Jun looking at him with an inquiring gaze, Qin Jie went out to salute Zhu Jun and said: "General, since yesterday's battle, our army has captured a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass and surrounded the thief army in the inner city, as long as we keep the four gates of the outer city and cut off the way for the thief army to escape. Hundreds of thousands of thieves need to consume a lot of food every day to eat horses and chew, and within a few months, the thief army will be starved of food and grass and cannot sustain, and then they may be able to subdue all the thieves without blood. That being the case, why should the general be in a hurry? In case all this is a trick between Han Zhong and that Zhang Mancheng, then ........"

Zhu Jun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "What if all this is Han Zhong and that Zhang Mancheng's trick?" Ben General didn't have any hope for that Han Zhong in the first place, but as long as he dared to open the city gate, with the effectiveness of the brave and fierce three armies of Wentai, how could he stop it with those rabble in the city? ”

"But in this way, our army will inevitably have a lot of casualties." According to Qin Jie's thoughts, since he could solve the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves without blood, why did he let countless soldiers sacrifice in vain for the sake of temporary speed?

"As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, such as today's ****, if you can't cut off these yellow turban thieves as soon as possible, I'm afraid that it will endanger my Han's country. Since the sergeants have taken the court's money, how can they be greedy for life and afraid of death at this time? Since ancient times, Ci has not been in charge of the army, if the Wancheng rebellion can be quelled as soon as possible, even if you pay more casualties! Zhu Jun had already made up his mind, and he couldn't listen to any of Qin Jie's words at all.

Qin Jie bowed his head gloomily and returned to his seat.

"Sun Jian listens to the order." Zhu Jun saw that no one objected to him, so he asked people to take the military order and began to issue military orders.

"In!"

"You'll be the vanguard of tonight's assault. Ben will transfer your 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and you will take these people to ambush outside the city of Dongcheng, and then lead Han Zhong to open the city gate with a signal. After entering the city, take precautions, if Han Zhong sincerely surrenders, then it will be returned. If Han Zhong surrendered by fraud, you must try your best to protect the city gate, and after this general enters the city with a large army, you will behead Han Zhong and that Zhang Mancheng into meat paste. ”

"Obey!"

After Zhu Jun handed Sun Jian a piece of military order, he called out Wu Yi again: "Wu Yi listens to the order." ”

"Wu Yi is here."

"Tonight, Ben will attack the inner city with Sun Wentai, and as soon as Ben will leave, the camp will be empty, so you will lead the army and horses of the headquarters to guard the camp."

"Wu Yi obeyed the order." At the time of the war, someone had to stay in the camp anyway, although there were many sergeants under Wu Yi's command, but the casualties in the battle outside the city yesterday were not small, Zhu Jun arranged for Wu Yi to lead the army to garrison the camp, and Wu Yi had no objections.

Zhu Jun handed a piece of military order to Wu Yi again.

"Qin Jie listens to orders."

Qin Jie didn't expect Zhu Jun to actually arrange a task for himself, and after being stunned for a few moments, he hurriedly stepped forward to promise.

"In order to prevent the thieves from fleeing without a fight, Ben will put you in charge of guarding the four gates of the outer city. Tonight, the four gates of the outer city are only allowed to enter and not to go out, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”
