Chapter 30: The Real First Battle
Seeing that the ideological education had initially succeeded, Ouyang Xing immediately reported to Zhu Cheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It just so happened that Zhu Cheng was also bored in the past three days, the enemy army did not fight, and there was no way to rush the camp on his side. When he was bored, he sent Yang Lang out, intending to investigate the situation in the other party's camp. The other party really wants to be a turtle, he wants to see if the other party has such a thick turtle shell!
Yang Lang has gone out and has not come back yet, so it is not easy to sneak in, especially in a relatively open place. He first had to figure out the other party's shift change pattern, and then find a hole in the defense, so that he could take advantage of the cover of night to sneak in. This process is not easy, if it is really that easy, wouldn't those special forces be supernatural?
Idle and bored, he didn't expect Ouyang Xing to tell him that his education had been preliminarily completed, and Zhu Cheng immediately came to the prisoner camp. In the past few days, Zhu Jun seems to have run out of patience with these captives, and is planning to let Zhu Cheng dispose of them. Of course, the so-called treatment is naturally to kill them all. After all, these are not ordinary people, they are regular soldiers of the Yellow Turban Thieves.
If this kind of co-optation exists, it is easy to go wrong, especially in the case of fighting with the main forces of the other side.
Zhu Cheng didn't think so, at this time, it was more important to unite all the forces that could be united. Not to mention how shocking the impact that letting the original comrades suddenly kill themselves can bring to the hearts of those yellow turban thieves.
Let's just say that if these thousands of people can charge in front, no matter how many casualties there are, it will not hurt the army as a whole, and if they can defeat the enemy army to the greatest extent, that will be the best result!
"The school attaches the most importance to talents, and what I lack the most, that is, talents! Although you are anti-thieves, you are also my Chinese people, compatriots born and raised in the land of China. Because of that undeniable bloodline, the school intends to give you a chance to atone for your sins!
Those who are willing to join the Han army and become a soldier of the death battalion are guaranteed to be spared death. If you make a war achievement, you will never hide it! At the same time, everyone who joins can choose a comrade, just cut off two thumbs, and leave the barracks alive! Zhu Cheng came to the captives and said with a smile.
There was no enthusiastic response, after all, these guys had been boiled up for three days. If they can sleep at this moment, they will definitely not be awake, but if they want to sleep, they will be woken up immediately, so that they have to listen to Zhu Cheng's words.
However, most people also realize that the torture may be over, as long as they make their own choice. As long as you join the Han army, you can not only survive, but also have the opportunity to make military achievements; Even if it doesn't count the merits of war, it can keep one person alive.
"A certain joins the death battalion and lets Pei Yuanshao (Major General) go!" Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao took the lead and spoke at the same time.
To say that they are right to join the Han army, the two of them don't have so many mustards. Zhou Cang, in particular, has accepted Zhou Xing's statement that he intends to join Zhu Cheng's command, and has transferred the role of the enemy from Zhu Cheng to Tang Zhou.
According to the propaganda of the past three days, Tang Zhou is monitoring Zhou Xing's existence, in other words, Zhang Jiao did not trust Zhou Xing from the beginning, thinking that his position was not firm enough.
The fart is not firm, Zhou Xing has joined the Taiping Sect for many years, and how much black work has he helped the Taiping Sect do, so it is not firm? It's just that Zhou Cang has already decided that it is the fault of the Taiping Sect, so naturally he won't think about whether Zhu Cheng is lying.
Ironically, Bo Cai's intention, intentionally or unintentionally, deprived him of his military power during this period seems to confirm this matter. In other words, Zhibo Cai can be regarded as indirectly helping Zhu Cheng, otherwise Zhou Cang would not have chosen to believe him in promoting this set.
"Don't think about running either, Brother Zhou is a rare talent, so my father can't join the school, and the school regrets it in the past. Now that I see that Brother Zhou is so extraordinary, how can I miss it again? Please also ask Brother Zhou to help me! Zhu Cheng came to Zhou Cang and bowed solemnly.
"Zhou is not talented, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Seeing this, Zhou Cang was not calm at all, and his originally dizzy mind was immediately congested with excitement, and the whole person became energetic. After thinking for a while, he finally got up and saluted Zhu Cheng in return, choosing to be loyal.
"Brother Pei, look ......" Zhu Cheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at Pei Yuanshao.
"Since the young master is willing to take refuge in Captain Zhu, then we are naturally willing to take refuge too!" Pei Yuanshao was helpless and got up to salute.
"Swear to follow the major general!" All the Yellow Turban Thief captives replied one after another, and it was rare that they were all a group of loyal people.
Speaking of which, they have actually received Zhou Xing's favor, if it weren't for Zhou Xing's previous help, they said that they had to either be ruined or have become domestic slaves of large families. Because of this, they are willing to die for Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing died, and they were willing to join Zhou Cang's command. Zhou Cang wanted to join the Han army, and they naturally joined the Han army, it was as simple as that.
The kindness, righteousness and loyalty of the ancients can be said to be unimaginable to modern people.
"You're good, more than 6,000 people joined the ...... at once," Zhu Jun got Zhu Cheng's report and said angrily.
"Actually, they don't count, and my nephew plans to put them in a death camp. Those who can survive will be admitted on the basis of natural merit, and those who die will be counted. In any case, with such a group of daredevils, it should be much easier to rush into the enemy camp now! Not to mention that they were originally the Yellow Turban Thieves of the Bocai Division, if they went to persuade them to surrender before the battle, the effect should be much more useful than our persuasion! Zhu Cheng said his thoughts.
"Meng Gao, Wentai, what do you think?" Zhu Jun looked at the two generals next to him, they were the military Sima Zhang Chao, and the auxiliary army Sima Sun Jian, the latter of whom had only arrived to meet today.
"What Captain Zhu said is very reasonable, and he thinks it is feasible!" Sun Jian replied, this is a harmless thing, and they don't need to pay anything, so why do you want to be this wicked person?
Zhang Chao naturally meant the same thing, so the matter of the death camp was decided. For Zhu Jun, the main reason is that he is worried that there are so many more people under Zhu Cheng's command, and these generals are uncomfortable, and it is naturally best to see that they have no opinion!
On the fourth day, Yang Lang's investigation had not yet yielded results, but after a day of recuperation, Zhou Cang finally led 3,000 troops to the front of the enemy army to call for battle. The other 3,000 remained in the barracks, including Pei Yuanshao himself. If Zhou Cang went directly to the enemy camp without giving face, then these 3,000 people would be executed.
As for why Zhou Cang didn't pretend to return to the barracks, the inside and the outside should be together.
To say that more than three days have passed, even if they can leave, they can only let a few people go, otherwise the number of people will inevitably become suspicious. Let's say that Bocai originally planned to rectify Zhoucang and them, and when they returned to the camp, they would inevitably be controlled, and it would not be easy to cooperate with the outside and the inside.
However, Zhu Cheng's prediction was right, with Zhou Cang's call, many yellow turban thieves began to waver. Especially when Zhou Cang said that he could break away from the sequence of the Yellow Turban thieves, join the ranks of the official army, and even make meritorious contributions and wait for the generals, more people were in an uproar.
No one intends to really rebel, they are forced to live no longer. Most of the people who really have the intention of rebellion are the upper strata, as well as the middle strata and their cronies who follow them to get great benefits, and the small soldiers at the bottom are the easiest to waver.
Bocai also knew that the first battle could not be avoided, so he could only send his deputy general Peng Tuo to lead 10,000 troops to kill him......
