Chapter 105: Preparing to Dispatch Troops
Zhou Cang and the others couldn't have imagined that Zhang Jiao still had descendants alive, because Liu Meng had been developing his power over the years, and the crime of sheltering Zhang Jiao's descendants would deal a fatal blow to his reputation, so Zhang Ning's identity has never been known to outsiders. ※%※%※%※%
Chu Yan's identity is the same, the power of the Yellow Turban was very large at the beginning, Chu Yan was just a Yellow Turban general, so not many people knew him.
"What do you mean? Do you want to use my sister to threaten us with restraint? Zhou Cang said hatefully.
"Heh, do you still need to use this method against you? Zhou Cang, do you not see the current situation clearly? Liu Meng said disdainfully.
Zhou Cang was choked by Liu Meng's words, although the number of self-troops at this time was nearly twice that of the other party, he did not have the confidence to refute Liu Meng's words.
"And what do you mean?" Zhou Cang asked.
"I want you to surrender." Liu Meng said indifferently.
"Surrender? Don't you want us to be tied down? Those thieves who attacked us are trying to take refuge in you, but what is their end? Don't listen to him, Commander, we'll fight with them. Yu Poison said hurriedly.
Liu Meng was not embarrassed to be exposed on the spot.
"You are different from those thieves, your sister came to me before, she pleaded for you, and I promised him that as long as you are willing to surrender, I will not kill more." Liu Meng said.
Zhou Cang was a little moved when he heard this, the current situation is unfavorable for them, if he has the heart of death, he can fight to break the net, but this is not what Zhou Cang wants, revenge is what he wants, but he wants his brothers to survive.
"Commander, you can't just make decisions based on his words." Yu Poison saw that Zhou Cang had something to do, and hurriedly persuaded. He didn't want to fight to the death. What are these people for? Of course, in order to survive, if there is a chance, he will naturally not seek death, but because of what Liu Meng did before, he doesn't believe Liu Meng's words very much.
"How can An Pinghou make us believe in you? I can't joke with the lives of more than 100,000 of my brothers. Zhou Cang said solemnly.
"Haha, Zhou Cang, you have to understand that I am not asking you to surrender, but because of your sister's request, I want to give you a way to live, so it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. The whole army attacked. Liu Meng raised the wolf tooth gun in his hand.
"Kill, kill, kill." Tens of thousands of soldiers behind Liu Meng shouted and killed the sky, and launched an attack on the Black Mountain Army.
Zhou Cang was shocked: "Anping Hou is slow, I am willing to surrender." ”
It's not that Zhou Cang was instigated, but Liu Meng's decisiveness made him believe Liu Meng's words, if Liu Meng really kept trying to convince him with words, he wouldn't believe it, he would feel that Liu Meng was a strategy because he didn't want to fight with him and lose his own strength.
"The whole army stops attacking." Liu Meng shouted.
All the soldiers stopped the offensive momentum and ordered it to be banned. Zhou Cang and the others looked envious.
Hearing that his own commander promised to surrender, the Montenegrin army also had no objection. Put down your weapons and surrender, it's always good to be alive.
Liu Meng returned to Hedong County with the victorious army, and the people in the city welcomed him, they didn't expect that Anping Hou would defeat hundreds of thousands of thieves in one fell swoop, and they thought that this war would last for a long time.
Zhang Ning also rushed over when he heard the news.
"Anping Hou is benevolent and righteous, the woman thanked Anping Hou for her father." Zhang Ning bowed.
"This is Zhang Ning." Liu Meng said to Zhou Cang.
He did not treat Zhou Cang and others as prisoners, but let them return to the city with him, Liu Meng He is a master of art and bold, he believes that these people want to take the opportunity to sneak attack, he is not afraid, it is because Zhou Cang and others are more convinced of Liu Meng.
"Thank you sister for your intercession." Zhou Cang and the others all got off their horses and bowed down.
"You don't have to wait like this, it's my father who has caused you to wait, and I just did what I had to do." Zhang Ning said busily.
"Okay, in the future, they will all be their own people, and if there is time, let's settle the soldiers first." Liu Meng said.
He can be treated differently by the Montenegrin generals, but the Montenegrin soldiers need to be investigated, and if they are not good, they will definitely be kicked out, but he handed over these things to Guo Jia.
After the crisis was resolved, Liu Meng could settle down in a short time, and as soon as the war in Hedong was settled, Liu Biao's army, which had already come to Luoyang, also escorted grain and grass to Hedong, plus the remaining grain and grass that the Black Mountain Army and the leaders of the thieves from all walks of life did not have time to take away when they fled, and they could support the whole winter, just waiting for the next year to help Liu Biao resist Yuan Shu's attack.
Liu Meng's defeat of hundreds of thousands of thieves and the news of the surrender of more than 100,000 Black Mountain troops soon spread throughout the land of China, and the princes from all walks of life reacted differently, some were amazed at the combat effectiveness of Liu Meng's army, such as Cao Cao, Ma Teng and others, and some were far away and didn't care at all, such as Sun Jian, Liu Yan and others, but Yuan Shao has always been unaccustomed to Liu Meng, this time Liu Meng surrendered so many Montenegrin soldiers and soldiers made him feel the pressure, so he asked the court to treat Liu Meng for the crime of thieves.
Emperor Xian in Youzhou was not impressed, he thought that Liu Meng was defeated, and later heard that he not only obtained the land of Hedong, but also occupied the Hongnong Chang'an, and the power was strengthened, the stronger Liu Meng was, the happier he was, because Liu Meng was his help in his heart, so Yuan Shao's above table was rejected, but issued an order to praise Liu Meng for his meritorious work in eliminating thieves, and promoted Liu Meng to the state pastor.
Although it is not appropriate to move troops at this time, the annexation of the state is a borderless land at this time, and it is justified for Liu Meng to obtain the annexation in the future.
Emperor Xian still has no idea of returning to Luoyang, Luoyang is the place of the four wars, he can see it, before the situation is clear, he plans to stay in the remote place of Youzhou temporarily, anyway, he has already come, and the loss of reputation has also been lost, and it is not much use to go back now.
However, Liu Meng's move to surrender the thieves was a start for the princes of all walks of life, they have always had a headache for the thieves in the territory, and it takes a lot of military strength to exterminate it, and those thieves are slippery like loaches, there are more people to run, and there are fewer people who go and can't beat them, they want to surrender but are afraid of damaging their reputation, but now they don't have this scruple, and the princes from all walks of life have begun to send out an example to recruit the thieves in the territory.
There is no more war in winter, the days of stability always pass quickly, the cold winter passes quickly, the river thaws and the weather gets warmer, and spring comes.
The Montenegrin army has also been reorganized, and after eliminating the character ** and those who do not want to join the army, Liu Meng's combat troops reached 190,000 at this time, and feeding such a large number of troops made Liu Meng feel great pressure, his territory is still too small, although the people have been solved because of the policy to attract displaced people, but the territory is so large, and the arable land is limited.
"Fengxiao, the saint appointed me as the pastor of the state, and now that spring is coming, I want to divide the army into two ways, all the way to take the land of the state, and all the way to help Liu Biao resist Yuan Shu." Liu Meng said. (To be continued.) )
