0378: Return to Xuzhou to play a triumphant song
At present, Taiyuan is already a lonely city. As soon as Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang died, all the old Yuan clans surrendered. Jizhou, Bingzhou, and even Youzhou Jixian and other places have become the territory of the Huwei Army. If Gao Gan and the Liu family want to escape, they can only go to Cao Cao to survive.
Gao Yun naturally knows this little bit of the situation. Therefore, as early as a few days ago, Gao Yun arranged pockets for Gao Gan and Liu.
Shalina, Zhang Huayan, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Dong Xi, Liao Hua, Zhao Ying, nine generals, and nine soldiers and horses have already been ambushed in turn on Gao Gan's escape route.
With such combat strength, it is easy to say that it is easy to exterminate the army of high-ranking cadres. But Gao Yun cherishes the soldiers of the Huwei Army, and it has reached an extent that it is beyond measure, as long as it can be avoided, he will definitely not let the soldiers of the Huwei Army fight.
Therefore, at the beginning of the order, Gao Yun instructed the generals one by one that they were only allowed to chase and kill later, and they were not allowed to intercept them head-on.
But from a certain point of view, this kind of killing is very cruel. Gao Gan's 100,000 soldiers and horses were completely in a state of being abused (harmonious) and killed, and they were chased and killed every twenty or thirty miles, and each wave was chased and killed for more than ten miles. Gao Gan couldn't stop if he wanted to, so he could only keep running and running.
These soldiers and colonels are like frightened birds, their spirits are highly stressed, and they have endured both physical and mental devastation, and the pain can be imagined.
Nine formations in a row pursued and killed, traveling nearly 300 miles, and less than 3,000 soldiers and horses of the 100,000 high-ranking cadres remained. The vast majority of them could not bear this kind of torture, and except for those who were killed by the Huwei army, most of them ran away or surrendered halfway.
Gao Gan and the Liu clan were also on the verge of collapse, leading their subordinates to defeat the remnants of the army, and barely escaped from the nine-way pursuit, but in front of them was Shangdang City.
Although Gao Gan was full of confidence, it was difficult to say whether Meng Ke could let them go or not.
tremblingly came to the city of Shangdang, and saw from a distance that Meng Ke's army was already in full battle. Gao Gan pretended to be brave and came to the front of the two armies, hugged his fists at Meng Ke, and begged bitterly: "Lord Taishou, I was chased and killed by the Huwei Army with the master mother in Xia, and I died all the way and fled here. I hope that Lord Meng will see the feelings of his former colleagues and let me wait. Great kindness and great virtue will be repaid in the future! ”
Meng Ke pondered for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "Okay! For the sake of the Lord, I have risked my life to release you today. Get out of the way! Let the general and the mistress go over! ”
Gao Gan and the Liu family didn't expect Meng Ke to let him go so easily, they were overjoyed, and they thanked them for their kindness, and led the three thousand remnants of the defeated army to flee in a hurry and go south.
The generals of the Ninth Route of the Huwei Army returned to the city in turn and handed over orders to Gao Yun, who was puzzled by Gao Yun deliberately letting Gao Gan and the Liu family go, and couldn't help but ask.
Gao Yun smiled, motioned for the brothers to sit down, and then said: "Now that Gao Gan and the Liu family have no soldiers and no money and food, it is useless to kill them. It's better to give it to Cao Cao as a favor. When we were at war with Yuan Shao before, Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou. Now we have broken Yuan Shao and pacified Hebei. Cao Cao is worried that we will crusade, and he will inevitably strike first and then raise an army. However, our Huwei military has experienced great battles and urgently needs to rest. At this time, it is not appropriate to engage Cao Cao. And Cao Cao was broken by Yun Chang and Xiao Ming before, his morale was low, his troops were lost, and he definitely didn't want to fight us. At this time, Gao Gan and Liu went to Mengjin, and Cao Cao must have escorted them to Xuzhou in order to reconcile with us temporarily. If it is as expected, it will be clear within ten days."
When everyone heard Gao Yun's words, they believed or doubted, and they talked about it. Only Jia Xu and Guo Jia laughed and did not speak.
On the ninth day, a fast horse flew from Xuzhou, saying that Cao Cao had decompressed Gao Gan and Liu's family to Xuzhou and asked the Son of Heaven to send it.
When the civil and military people of the Huwei Army heard the news, they were all amazed.
Although all parts of Hebei were pacified, Yuan Shao's reign was tyrannical and tyrannical, resulting in the desolation and withering of the land of Hebei, the sharp decline in productivity, the overgrowth of bandits and grass, and the survival of the people was difficult.
In order to restore order and production in various places as soon as possible, Gao Yun promoted the "Tiger Hunting" and "Tiger Xing" Second Brigade to "Order", and appointed Gan Ning as the "Tiger Hunting Order" overseer to guard Taiyuan; Zhang Xiu was appointed as the overseer of the "Tiger Order" and guarded Jixian County. Eradicate the bandits in the mountains and valleys, and restore law and order in the states and counties.
He also recommended Sun Bin as the assassin of Jizhou and Zou Qiong as the assassin of Jizhou, implemented the new policy, rectified the rule of officials, and resumed production. Finally, Yu'er was also asked to send a large number of elites from the Huwei Merchant Alliance to plan business layouts and plans for various states and counties.
After all this was properly settled, Gao Yun led the army, played a triumphant song all the way, and returned to Xiapi.
Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, got the news early, and personally led the civil and military courtiers to greet him outside the noon gate.
Gao Yun will exterminate Yuan Shao, pacify Hebei and other wars one by one. When the emperor heard the report, he was overjoyed, and ordered Yuan Xi, Liu, Gao Gan and other prisoners to be pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded for public display. The Yuan family has since disappeared.
Because the Huwei Army exterminated the anti-thief Yuan Shao this time, all the civil and military personnel were meritorious, and the Han Emperor issued a decree in the palace to reward the civil and military people of the Huwei Army.
