Before dawn, Zhang Bao took the 90 guards who rushed to the three county towns of Taixian, Yingxian and Zhuxian in turn. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info brought abundant food to the sergeants. It's just that the captives did not enjoy this treatment.

It is said that Zhang He's subordinate General Sun went to Jizhou to move the rescue troops, why has there been no news?

It turned out that after General Sun saw Yuan Shao, he informed Yuan Shao of Zhang He's request. Who knew that Yuan Shao actually smiled in front of all the staff: "General Sun, do you know why I didn't send Yan Liang and General Wen Chou to conquer Qingzhou this time, but sent Zhang He and Gao Ran to go this time?" ”

General Sun shook his head when he heard this: "My subordinates are stupid and don't understand the master's thoughts. ”

Yuan Shao continued to laugh when he heard this: "Because I want to give Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran a chance to exercise and prove their abilities. Although the two of them are named the four pillars of Hebei with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. But I know that the two of them are young after all, and compared with Yan Liang and General Wen Chou, they still have some experience. That's why I sent 50,000 soldiers to each of them to attack Qingzhou. Do you know how many soldiers and horses he would need if this was given to Yan Liang and General Wen Chou? ”

When General Sun heard this, he lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”

"Hahaha......"

Yuan Shao laughed again when he heard this, he stopped laughing and looked at Yan Liang and said, "General Yan, tell me how many soldiers and horses you two need?" ”

Yan Liang hugged his fists when he heard this: "Back to the lord, most of the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou are newly formed, and they can't talk about any combat power at all. His subordinates only need 30,000 elite soldiers to take the entire Qingzhou. ”

"Listen! Listen! General Yan said that he only needed 30,000 elite soldiers. Yuan Shao smiled, and suddenly his face sank, and he looked directly at General Sun and said: "Go back and tell Zhang He that I gave their brothers 100,000 horses, if they can't take Qingzhou, then what kind of face do they have to call the four pillars of Hebei." If there is a problem, let the two brothers solve it by themselves, don't make it difficult for me here! Hum! ”

General Sun's whole body was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Obey the order, and my subordinates will tell General Zhang." ”

After General Sun left Yuan Shao's base camp, he listened to the sound of the people inside continuing to laugh, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He thought about it for a moment and decided to go to General Gao Ran first. After all, Gao Ran is Zhang He's sworn brother. But General Sun looked around and listened to the sound of music coming from the hall, he actually forgot about the prosperity of Yecheng, and he decided to go to Gao Ran after a few days of leisurely in Yecheng.

"Humph! Lao Tzu is desperate in front, but you are happy here! Come on! I'll be happy for a few days and then go back, people, why can't I get along with myself! General Sun shook his head and whispered.

……

Zhang Bao brought back 11,000 captured brothers from Zhuxian County, and at the same time brought the Jizhou captives from the three counties back to Dongpingling. At the same time, Zhang Bao ordered Chen Gong to take the Jizhou captives in Yuling City to Dongping Mausoleum.

In the open space outside the city of Dongpingling, more than 13,000 Jizhou prisoners were separated and concentrated. They were surrounded by thousands of Qingzhou soldiers who were eyeing each other.

Zhang Bao stood on the city wall and shouted to them: "Those who have families stand on the left, and those who have no worries stand on the right." I hope you make your choice truthfully. If you have a family, I will let you go back to Jizhou, and if you don't have to worry about it, I will leave you to continue to serve as a soldier in Qingzhou. ”

When the captives below heard this, they all became confused, most of them didn't believe that Zhang Bao would let them go back to Jizhou, so only a few thousand people who really didn't care about them stood up and came to the open space on the right.

Zhang Bao looked at the Jizhou soldiers who were still in place and shouted: "Brothers, you came to attack Qingzhou, it was bewitched by Yuan Shao, and it has nothing to do with you. I myself am from Zhuo County, Jizhou, and I will not be embarrassed as a brother in Jizhou. And your General Zhang He has surrendered to me, and I am willing to continue to follow General Zhang's stay in the future, I will send you back if you are really concerned about Jizhou, I hope everyone will move, and there will be no forgiveness for killing in place! ”

After Zhang Bao shouted, all the prisoners who did not move quickly made a choice, many of them were Zhang He's cronies, and when they heard that Zhang He had surrendered, all of them chose to stay. Because everyone knows: Zhang Bao is indeed from Jizhou. However, nearly 4,000 people still chose to return to Jizhou.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao said loudly: "The four thousand brothers on the left, you can go back!" However, I warn you, after you go back, if you dare to harm the family of the brother on the right, once I occupy Jizhou in the future, no matter where you are, I will definitely kill your nine clans. Let's go! ”

When the four thousand captives on the left heard this, they all trembled and left. Zhang Bao didn't mean anything difficult for them at all. First, Zhang Bao knew that these people were the same as himself, they were descendants of Huaxia, but they were standing on different positions, and there was no need to kill them. Second, these people either really have concerns that they can't let go, or their hearts are still in Jizhou. Forcibly staying can be bad.

After all the 4,000 captives on the left were gone, Zhang Bao said to the 9,000 brothers on the right: "Please leave if you are over forty years old." You are no longer suitable for the war, you can choose to return to Jizhou, or you can choose to continue to live in Qingzhou, I will allocate you land and shelter, so that you can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, only about 70 people stood out from the team, and all of these 70 people chose to stay in Qingzhou to live. Because even if they return to Jizhou, they have nothing to worry about, but have Zhang Bao's promise, and they feel that it will be better to stay in Qingzhou.

After Zhang Bao waited for the more than 70 people to leave, he shouted loudly: "Welcome to join the Qingzhou Army!" From then on, you will be a member of the Qingzhou Army, just like the brothers around you. I have deeply realized your bravery, I will let you continue to follow General Zhang He to fight, now everyone go to the city to rest, I have prepared a military camp for you, I hope you can keep your duty, don't make trouble in the city, otherwise there will be no mercy! ”

"Thank you for not killing!" The crowd shouted in unison. Then everyone entered the Dongpingling City in an orderly manner.

After Chen Gong waited for everything to be ready, he said to Zhang Bao: "It's a good thing for the lord to be kind, but isn't the lord worried that there are Jizhou spies among these people?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "There are spies? Maybe! But certainly not too much. As long as I'm good to them in the future, they'll give me my life! In this battle of Qingji, we lost so many people, and these people just made a supplement. By the way, I will send a hundred guards to lead them, and I will have to install our people among them, otherwise I will not worry. ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong nodded and said, "Since the lord has an arrangement, it's good." It's just that the lord just said that Zhang He has surrendered, is this true? ”

Zhang Bao shook his head when he heard this: "How can that be true?" I made it up! However, it was only a matter of time before Zhang He surrendered. ”

"This ......" Chen Gong was speechless when he heard this.

Zhang Bao then sent all the remaining guards around him to the Jizhou army as the commander of 100 people, and reorganized all the troops.

After the reorganization was completed, Zhang Bao now had 18,000 people in Jinan County. Among them, Huaxiong's cavalry was 2,000, Chen Gong and Dian Wei had 5,000 infantry troops left, 2,000 cavalry, and 9,000 Jizhou soldiers.

Now these soldiers and horses, Huaxiong led 4,000 cavalry to defend in Zhuxian County, the remaining 14,000 people are in Dongpingling City, Tugu County is still the original 1,000 veterans, Yingxian, Taixian, Yuling County each recruited 1,000 new soldiers.

Su Binghe also officially took office as the Taishou of Jinan County. Except for Tugu County, the county orders of the rest of the counties remain unchanged. Zhang Bao decided to support Su Binghe's family and let Su Binghe set the county order of Tugu County by himself.

After Zhang Bao put the affairs of Jinan County in order, but on the night of the fifth day after he was released back into captivity, he heard the alarm bell from the city wall of Dongpingling, but Gao Ran brought 30,000 iron horsemen to the city of Dongpingling.

How could Gao Ran suddenly come outside the city of Dongpingling? It turns out that this is the way it happened. The general Sun went home for five days, and finally panicked, so he came to the Gaolan camp on the sixth day to ask for help.

Gao Ran was shocked when he learned about Zhang He's situation: "General Sun, how long have you been away from General Zhang?" ”

When General Sun heard the lie, he said: "General Gao, the last general left General Zhang seven days ago to go back to Jizhou for help, who knew that the lord not only sent a soldier and a pawn, but also humiliated the last general, saying that this campaign in Qingzhou is to give the general you and General Zhang a chance to exercise." And General Yan said that he only needed 30,000 elite soldiers to occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou.

After I was scolded by the lord, I was unwilling to return, so I asked the generals in Jizhou to lead the troops to help. None of the generals were willing to go on the march. Only then did the subordinates remember you, the general, and quickly came to ask for help. ”

Gao Ran said angrily when he heard this: "A group of rotten people! Yan Liang dared to speak out! ”

"Report! The general, the Lord Minister, asked to see him. At this time, the envoy of Yuan Shao, who was sent by the guards, asked to see him.

Gao Ran frowned when he heard this, "Bring the messenger in." ”

The name of the person who came was Guo Tu, who was one of Yuan Shao's advisers, Guo Tu hugged his fists and said after seeing Gao Lan: "General Gao, the lord ordered you to withdraw your troops back to Jizhou as soon as possible." ”

Gao Ran frowned when he heard this: "The battle in Qingzhou has not yet advanced an inch, why did the lord suddenly order me to retreat?" ”

Guo Tu sighed when he heard this: "Alas! General Gao, I can't hide it, your brother Zhang He has been captured by Zhang Baosheng, and I am afraid that he has betrayed the lord at this moment, and even more than 10,000 soldiers under his command have taken refuge in Qingzhou. ”

Gao Ran was shocked when he heard this: "This is impossible! General Zhang will not fail so quickly! He could not have betrayed his lord. ”

Guo Tu shook his head when he heard this: "Whether General Gao believes it or not, this has become a fact. By the way, there are still important things to do, so I won't stay long. It is also hoped that General Gao will withdraw his troops at an early date. ”

After Guo Tu left, General Sun came behind Gao Lan and said, "General Gao, what are you going to do now?" ”

Gao Ran frowned when he heard this: "What are you going to do?" Of course I can't leave my brother in Qingzhou, I'm going to save him. ”

"But do you know where General Zhang is now?" General Sun was surprised.

Gao Ran frowned when he heard this: "Where else can it be?" Definitely in Dongpingling. ”

When General Sun heard this, he asked again: "But the lord ordered the general to retreat, is the general going to disobey the lord's order?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Ran turned to look at General Sun: "The lord's order? If you had not neglected your duties, would my brother have been captured? You still have the face to mention the lord's orders to me! Die! ”

Cha!

Gao Ran slashed General Sun's head with a knife and shouted, "Someone." ”

"General!" A guard came in from outside the tent.

Gao Ran looked at it and said, "Gao Yuan, you quickly inform all the cavalry to assemble, we have a big operation tonight." The infantry remained in the battalion on standby. No! Leave all the suspicious people in the cavalry, and change all our cronies in the infantry to cavalry. Let no one of our cronies be left behind. ”

"General! Could something big happen? Gao Yuan asked.

"Execute the order!" Gao Ran said sharply.

"Yes!" Gao Yuan clenched his fists and took his life, and then quickly left.
