Chapter 181: Generals Emerge (3)
"Loyal and brave, you are a man, this general will spare you from death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that Feng Xi actually used his body to block himself and escort Huang Zhong to rush out, Han Lie couldn't help but have a good impression of this stocky enemy general.
The horse chopping knife in his hand swirled, and it slapped on Feng Xi's chest with a shock, directly shaking Feng Xi on the horse's back and flying away from the horse. The Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers on the left and right led their own soldiers to immediately pounce and directly capture and tie up Feng Xi who had landed.
On the other side, Xu Chu, seeing that the enemy general Zhang Nan gave up the war horse to Huang Zhong to escape, he was very angry, and he swung his knife and slashed at Zhang Nan, holding a spear, his steps sank, raised his spear to block, and a huge force swept away the spear in his hand at the same time, and the sharp blade was covered on the head. At that moment, Zhang Nan's heart was shocked, but a shadow of death couldn't help but cover his heart.
"Take it." Seeing that the blade was about to fall, Xu Chu remembered that before the battle, Han Lie had said that this battle should be based on the order of capturing alive, and at the last moment, the blade flipped over, and while unloading most of his strength, he directly swept Zhang Nan out with the back of the knife with his backhand.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, two quasi-second-rate Jingzhou generals, unfortunately became Han Lie's prisoners, to say that these two people are still a little worse in terms of combat strength and army level, but these two people have the will to fight to the death at this age, which can be said to be the key to Han Lie's approval.
"Mingjin retreats." Han Lie on horseback, seeing that Huang Zhong's army formation was rigorous, did not collapse in the slightest because of Huang Zhong's defeat, which also shows that Huang Zhong's army is still guarded by a general.
Today is just the first battle, since it has already won a small victory, Han Lie naturally has no intention of expanding the results of the battle, the Huarong City in front of him is just a small city, it is only a matter of time before it is broken, there is no need to fight hard. Besides, Han Lie's original intention was to take the city without bloodshed, and the soldiers and horses in front of him, as well as the general of the unified army, were really a little unexpected by him.
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Wen Ping are all famous generals in history, and now that Liu Biao is dead, he believes that as long as he is patient, these people will sooner or later vote under his account.
"Hey, Han Lie's soldiers and horses are actually singing gold at this time?" Liu Pan at the head of the city, seeing Han Lie's army coming out of the slaughter, was about to send someone to respond, but he heard a sound of gold, and he couldn't help but look back and ask a question in surprise.
"General Wang Wei is good at arranging defenses and formations, at this time his formation is not chaotic, even if the army comes to cover up, at most he can only win a miserable victory, such a victory, a famous general like Han Lie will definitely not fight for it." Wen Ping looked at the situation in the city and slowly expressed his opinion.
"Zhongye's analysis makes sense." Liu Pan replied in agreement, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "I didn't expect Huang Hansheng and Wei Yan to return from the battle, this brave general under Han Lie's account is really not to be underestimated." ”
"General, brave generals are indispensable on the battlefield, but they are not the balance of victory, in my opinion, Han Lie's soldiers and horses are the truly terrifying elite division." Wen Ping shook his head, met Liu Pan's gaze, and explained: "General, haven't you noticed that Han Lie's soldiers and horses are not only all the same armor, but also the weapons they hold in their hands are all ring-headed knives that are conducive to cutting and killing, and they are well-equipped and well-armed, which is conducive to weapons. Thunder and thunder. 'To be able to command an army like this, in today's world, I am afraid that it is difficult to see one or two. ”
"Brother Zhongye, are Jiangdong soldiers and horses really that strong?" Liu Pan couldn't help showing a trace of bitterness on his face, he never doubted Wen Ping's ability to govern the army, although he didn't believe it at this moment, but in his heart he actually believed Wen Ping's evaluation of Han Liejun.
Huang Zhong's injury was not as serious as he imagined, this was also because Han Lie kept his hand, otherwise his injury would definitely be much worse, and when he returned to the city, Liu Pan immediately arranged for Lang Zhong to treat Huang Zhong.
"General, loyal and incompetent, defeated and returned." Huang Zhong pleaded guilty ashamedly and said: "Feng Xi and Zhang Nan were captured by the enemy in order to save me, and I hope that the general can rescue one or two."
"Brother Hansheng, don't blame yourself, I've seen everything, I don't blame you, as for Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, I'll let Li Yan take a trip to see what you think?" Liu Pan nodded and asked about the candidate for the envoy.
"Although the two armies do not cut each other, but in the end, this matter is risky, the general still needs to see Lord Li's own thoughts." Huang Zhong didn't object, there are so many candidates for Huarong at the moment, and there is indeed no suitable person to appoint.
"The general's military orders, Yan dare not disobey, but there should be bargaining chips in negotiations, it is impossible to speak in vain, can the general have bargaining chips in hand?" Li Yan is a pragmatic person, as a man with both courage and resourcefulness, he is naturally not afraid to break into Han Lie's camp.
"Huo Jun and Lu Jie, the two traitors, are still detained in the army, how about cheapening them this time and exchanging them for Zhang Nan and Feng Xi?" Liu Pan didn't kill Lu Jie and Huo Jun at the beginning, not because he was prescient, nor because he was soft-handed, but because of Wen Ping and Xi Zhen's intercession, the two were able to save their lives.
Wen Ping has always admired Huo Jun, and the two have a good relationship, especially after Huo Jun's identity was exposed, Wen Ping was angry and hated, and he also wanted to kill Huo Jun, but because of Huo Jun's words, he had the idea of leaving a way back for himself, maybe he didn't realize this subconscious mind.
What Huo Jun said to him was what Han Lie asked Huo Jun to tell Wen Ping at a critical time, and Han Lie's original words to Huo Jun at the beginning were: The generals of Jingzhou can be called famous generals, and only Wen hires one ear.
The end of the Han Dynasty was an era of fame, and many times a celebrity's comment on a person resulted in an unknown person who would soon become famous in the state and county, and become a famous man who was praised by everyone, and in the Han Dynasty, fame was often an important threshold for a person to be an official.
Han Lie's current status and reputation are known to the world, and even if his words are not Jinkou, it is enough to spread the world. And he is hired in Jingzhou, maybe a little famous, but he is far from catching up with famous generals, at best he is a pioneer role. Of course, this is in the eyes of the dead Liu Biao, as well as in the eyes of Cai Mao and others.
But since he was a child, he has been practicing martial arts and studying military books, although he is indifferent on the surface, but in his heart, why don't he want to make meritorious contributions and pay homage to the generals? But no one appreciated it, full of ambition and strategy, so he had to hide in his belly and struggle in obscurity in Jingzhou.
The reason why Xi Zhen interceded for Lu Jie at the beginning was that the two had a friendship with their fellow villagers, firstly, they were thinking about their fellow villagers, and secondly, Xi Zhen also had a faint premonition in his heart, this land of Jingzhou would sooner or later fall into the hands of Han Lie, rather than waiting to intercede on the neck of the knife frame, it was better to have a good fate first, even if he did not defect to Han Lie in the future, with their Xi family's family property, they could also teach and educate people for the rest of their lives.
"With this bargaining chip, this matter is easy to hear, and the general will wait for the good news." Li Yan bowed, and then retreated. Li Yan is not a general under Liu Pan's account, but because of fate, he will serve as the county magistrate in Huarong, and now that Liu Biao is dead, the remnants of Jingzhou, and these people in Huarong City, Li Yan actually has a choice in his heart.
This mission, in his opinion, is an opportunity for his own choice, if Han Lie is really the master, he will definitely make a choice, as for the betrayal, in his opinion there is no burden at all, he has never been loyal to Liu Biao, nor has he been loyal to Liu Pan, when he was outstanding, it was also because of his reputation that Li Yan was recommended by the county as filial piety, so that he was able to serve as the county magistrate and county order, if it was the beginning of the office, his allegiance was undoubtedly the current Han Emperor.
However, now that the Han dynasty is in decline, anyone with insight can see that the Han dynasty has come to an end, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes.
Han Lie's camp.
After leading the army back to the camp and settling down the people, Zhao Yun came to Han Lie's big tent with an excited face, and said: "Lord, the horse that Yun has taken, the named Lu, Yun has personally piloted and test-ridden, and it is indeed a rare horse. ”
"Lou?" Han Lie was slightly stunned, he has a deep memory of this horse, you must know that this horse is said to be Liu Bei's mount in history, there is a hindrance to the master, for such a war horse with a background, Han Lie is not easy to deal with for a while, if he doesn't give it to Zhao Yun, it will inevitably make Zhao Yun feel depressed, but if he gives it, if there is a thing, the loss will be really big.
After thinking about it, Han Lie said: "The good horse that Zilong has taken should have been given to you, but what about this Lu Bing, you still need to be domesticated, why don't you first put it here and domesticate it for a while?" However, in order to reward Zilong for his exploits in this battle, I will reward you with Claw Huang Feidian. ”
"What the lord is worried about is, but this claw Huang Feidian is the lord's mount, and Yun is ashamed and dare not bear it." Zhao Yun knew that although Han Lie loved horses, he would never ask his subordinates to sacrifice horses, although Han Lie's actions today were quite strange, but Zhao Yun didn't dare to speculate indiscriminately, and hurriedly excused himself.
"Zilong, you and my brother, how to divide each other, this matter is so decided." Han Lie waved his hand to say that the matter was so decided, and Zhao Yun could only respond in a deep voice when he saw this: "Thank you Lord for the reward." ”
Han Lie nodded, and turned to Xu Chu and said, "The two enemy generals who have been captured, you must take good care of them, don't be lazy, I will keep them of great use." ”
"Whoa." Xu Chu nodded and left as ordered.
"Sit down and talk." Not long after Xu Chu left, Guo Jia and Xun You came together, and Kuai Yue also came with orders.
"Today's battle, you must have seen it in the camp, how are your senses?" Han Lie, who took off his battle armor, changed into a loose cyan robe, wrapped his head in a scarf, and sat on the main seat, although he did not have the majestic momentum on the battlefield, but the restrained power still emanated from the inside out.
"Liu Pan has a good way of governing the army, and his mind is even better than Liu Biao." Guo Jia took the lead in praising and said: "Although this person can be included in the list of brave generals, he is not a famous general." ”
"Fengxiao's words are reasonable, if Liu Biao can reuse Liu Pan and entrust him with military power, there will be a bloody battle in Jingzhou." Liu Pan's performance, although it is not perfect, is obviously much better than Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, which is why he was able to be praised by Xun You and Guo Jia.
As an important strategist in the past under Liu Biao's account, Kuai Yue said with some shame: "Liu Jingzhou is determined to be in a corner of peace, what he wants is nothing more than the old and young of the family, the pattern is too small, he has failed to look at the world, and what he does is nothing more than their own interests, Liu Pan has been suppressed by us many times, but I don't want him to have today's achievements, which really makes Yue ashamed." ”
"There is no need to be arrogant, as the so-called gentleman is wise and wise, and the monarch is mediocre, this is the way of life, how can you force everyone to become a saint?" Han Lie waved his hand, smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Today's capture of Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, Lie Guan and Zhang Nan are both loyal, but they are usable people, but Huo Jun and Lu Jie are still in Liu Pan's hands now, Lie wants to exchange the two for Huo Jun and Lu Jie's second generals, I don't know what you think?" ”
"This matter is feasible, the matter of redemption has existed since ancient times, if the lord needs someone to go to Huarong, he is willing to go to negotiate." Xun Yu echoed.
Without waiting for Han Lie to speak, Guo Jia said: "Why should Brother Gongda go on a trip in person, if my expectations are correct, Liu Pan will definitely take the initiative to send someone to exchange prisoners." ”
"What is the basis for Bong-hyo?" Although Han Lie had always been convinced of Guo Jia's ability to predict, he still asked curiously.
Xun You and Kuai Yue saw the confidence that Guo Jia said, and they also looked at Guo Jia with great anticipation. Guo Jia, whose face was slightly pale, tightened the goose feathers on his body, stroked his palms and said: "Since Liu Pan is good at governing the army, he must be a person who treats soldiers well, if a general can't love soldiers, he will definitely not be loved by soldiers, let alone bring out an elite army." ”
"And Zhang Nan and Feng Xi can fight to the death, which shows the loyalty and courage of the two, for this general, Liu Pan has a bargaining chip in his hand, and he will definitely take the initiative to ask for redemption, which is in line with his character, so Jia judged that Liu Pan will definitely send someone to exchange prisoners."
As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, the pro-soldiers outside the tent led Ding Feng and reported outside: "Lord, there is a person outside the camp, claiming to be Liu Pan's envoy, asking to see the lord. ”
"Feng Xiao has the foresight of the country." Han Lie nodded approvingly and said, "Bring him in." ”
Xun Yu and Kuai Yue, while being impressed, couldn't help but applaud Guo Jia's turn.
"Huarong Chang Li Yan, meet the general." Li Yan, who is seven feet and seven inches long, is not top-notch, but he is well-proportioned, but he also has a bit of a tall and heroic temperament, Li Yan, who has a square face and high forehead, long eyebrows and big eyes, has very bright eyes, not like an ordinary county magistrate at all, but like a general who leads the army.
"Li Yan?" Han Lie also has some memories of this name, as for his deeds in history, he has no impression of it, he only vaguely remembers this person, it seems that he has a wrist wrestle with Zhuge Liang, and the person who can have the strength to wrestle with Zhuge Liang is definitely a character, so for such a person, Han Lie can't help but be a little interested.
"Li Zhengfang is a capable official in Jingzhou, and he has made great achievements in serving as several county magistrates, and Liu Jingzhou has also praised him, if he is not from the Han family, and he is arrogant and not good at pandering, I am afraid that he has already obtained a heavy position in the county." Kuai Yue saw that Han Lie seemed to be interested in Li Yan, so he took a speech to introduce Li Yan's experience in Jingzhou.
"I don't want Lord Kuai to be here, Yan has seen Lord Kuai." Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly to Kuai Yue, for this important minister under Liu Biao's account in the past, now he has become Han Lie's strategist, he is not too surprised, after all, Kuai Yue is talented, this is undeniable, I believe that any monarch, I am afraid that he will use Kuai Yue's famous and talented strategist.
(It is not easy to find that persistence is really not a simple thing, although there are only more than 4,000 words of updates a day, but it takes three or four hours for frogs, and sometimes it is unbelievable to think about yourself, I have persevered for so long, cheering for myself, although the results are still very bad, very bad。。。。。 I would like to thank the few book friends who like this book, and I bowed.
