043 Montenegro withdraws
After eating such a meal for a full hour, many people have not eaten such a full meal for a long time, if it weren't for Guo Jing and taking people to watch carefully, someone might really break their belly,
After a meal, more than 20,000 soldiers quickly regained their energy, in fact, not only did they have strength, but the subordinates' obedience to military orders also made Zhang Jaw happy. Tian Feng, who had been busy counting the heavy food and salary in the city, was secretly surprised by the changes that had taken place in front of him.
At first, Zhang Jaw had a headache with such a large number of troops. After all, he only has about 4,000 troops in his hands now, and how to deal with such a large number of surrendered troops has always been a headache for him.
If according to the situation at this time, the most reasonable way should be to kill more than 20,000 people to solve their worries, and then wave their troops eastward to defeat the Black Mountain thief army who reprimanded Zhang, but Zhang Jaw has followed Wen Yuan for a long time, and he has already shown his heart to himself before the tomb of the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army outside Quyang City, and he knows that the core of Wen Yuan's governance is to take the people as the foundation, which was so in Xia Quyang in the past, and now as a giant deer Taishou, he is more concerned about the safety of the people, if more than 20,000 soldiers are really killed, he has ten heads. I'm afraid they will all die to apologize.
But now, the more than 20,000 soldiers seemed to have no intention of rebelling, so Zhang Jaw ordered them to camp outside the city, and invited Tian Feng and Fu to enter the city to discuss.
After a busy day and a night, although he was tired, he was full of energy and did not feel sleepy.
Zhang Jaw waved his hand and said humbly: "Jaw doesn't dare to take credit, it's all Mr. Yuan Hao's clever calculation, the lord's method of training soldiers is appropriate, Murong Ping and Wang Li soldiers use their lives, this time they can overcome Yiyang in one fell swoop, so that tens of thousands of Black Mountain thieves bow down!" ”
Zhang Jaw paused, and said: "It's just that our army has fought viciously repeatedly, with many casualties, and the sergeants are exhausted and continue to make corrections, and there are too many thieves in this battle, and Yi Yang has hoarded so much money and food, what to do next, please ask the two gentlemen for advice." ”
Frustrated and stroked his beard, he said with a smile: "The Black Mountain thieves have been defeated repeatedly, and nearly half of the soldiers and horses have been lost, and they have been terrified when they hear the name of my giant deer. ”
Zhang Jaw nodded when he heard this, drank his sip of water in frustration, and continued: "It's just that although the siege of the rebuke chapter is solved, Yiyang is not a place to stay for a long time, although Li Damu and Baique are defeated, Yu Poison and Lei Gong still have nearly 20,000 soldiers who can fight, if these two troops and horses come to Yiyang, our army is not afraid, but Yiyang is less than two hundred miles away from Yecheng, if the head of the black mountain thieves in the middle road learns that the grain and grass have been taken, he will lead 100,000 thieves to besiege the city and attack, so, Yiyang is in danger!" ”
Zhang Jaw frowned and said: "The things I am worried about are also here, and I also ask the husband and Mr. to give me advice." ”
Frustrated: "For today's plan, we should inform the people of Yiyang of the current situation as soon as possible, 20,000 soldiers, select capable young and strong soldiers to be incorporated into auxiliary soldiers, and the rest and the people will escort grain and grass to Guangnian on the same day. ”
Zhang Jaw hammered his right fist and left palm, and said angrily: "Without further ado, the shilling soldiers will rest for half a day, and start preparing to carry grain and grass after noon!" ”
The discussion has been decided, Zhang Jaw first let the sergeant rest for half a day, and after lunch, he will go out to tell the people and tidy up his belongings.
Yiyang City has been plundered by thieves, and now there are less than 20,000 people left, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, Yiyang City has just been recovered by the official army, these local people are still happy, but as soon as they heard that more than 100,000 thieves may be killed in a few days, their mood suddenly fell from the peak to the bottom, and their faces were depressed.
In order to survive, most of the people are willing to follow the army to transfer, have to go home to prepare for the pack, after all, the strong combat power of the giant deer army left a deep impression on them, of course, there are also some people who are difficult to leave their homeland, Zhang Jaw does not force it, send people to send money and food from house to house.
After solving the problem of the people, Zhang Jaw came to the outside of the city again, and selected 3,000 capable young men from more than 20,000 Black Mountain soldiers to be auxiliaries. Ordered the rest of the soldiers to begin to load the heavy grain and grass.
It's just that 700,000 grains and grass is a big number, Zhang Jaw collected all the vehicles in the city, and finally even the people's carts and wheelbarrows were used, and it took two days to load the grain on the car, as for some of the baggage that could not be taken away, they were distributed to the people or burned, until the third day, more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in Yiyang City escorted more than 20,000 large and small carts, and slowly set off to the north.
Ma Yan of Guangnian City received a report and requisitioned 5,000 young men from Guangnian City to respond, and finally after another three days, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, more than 20,000 truckloads of money and grain, all arrived in Guangnian City.
…………
Li Damu was defeated that day, leading dozens of horsemen to rush back to their own camp outside Guangnian City, Lei Gong went out of the camp and then, the Black Mountain thieves heard of the defeat, their morale was low, and the people were panicked.
The two entered the account to discuss, and Lei Gong said worriedly: "Brother Li, now that our army has been defeated repeatedly, most of the soldiers and horses have been lost, and the morale of the three armies is exhausted, what should we do?" ”
Li Damu said in frustration: "What else? Now with only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Brother Lei, more than 10,000 old and weak, we are no longer able to fight against the giant deer army and horses, and I will not retreat at this time, I am afraid that you and I will soon follow in the footsteps of the white sparrow! ”
Lei Gong also said with palpitations: "Exactly, I just don't know where this Liao is sacred, not to mention the brave and invincible, the soldiers and horses under his command are also so brave, I am afraid that I will never set foot on the giant deer in the future!" The two of them had made a decision, and immediately pulled out the camp and led the defeated troops to the west to plunder Zhao County.
When the news reached the poison camp, he had been confronting Wen Yuan outside the city for several days, and was shocked to hear the news of Yi Yang's defeat and loss, and he was afraid that Wen Yuan's soldiers and horses would cut off the back road, so he also retreated overnight and threw himself into a solid place.
On the contrary, Wen Yuan finally got the news, early in the morning, Zhang Yu came to tell the news, saying that the black mountain thieves outside the city had retreated, leaving only an empty camp, and was about to take people out of the city to check, Zhang Jaw sent someone to send a letter at this time.
Wen Yuan opened the letter and looked at it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately spread it to everyone to watch, and said in admiration: "Open your jaw!" Zhang Junyi, it's really my Han Xin! "Immediately issued a reward of 100 gold and 10 brocades! Each rewarded Murong Ping and Wang Li with two soldiers and horses, 100,000 yuan, and 500 cloth! There is a reward for the whole army!
Reward, the whole army of Zhangcheng rejoiced, and the people of the two counties in Zhangcheng also rejoiced.
In this way, it was not until all the grain in the territory was harvested and dried that the Black Mountain thieves plundered and withdrew from the Jizhou border, and Wenyuan collected his troops and returned to the county town of Glotau.
