Chapter 278: Might
In this battle, Yuan Jun was defeated and had no power to fight back, and the speed of defeat was so fast that even Han Jin himself didn't believe it. Yuan Shao killed himself, the eldest son died under the Dian Wei halberd, the second son and the third son were all captured, and the military generals under his command basically fell into the hands of Han Jin.
But even so, Han Jin still didn't dare to take it lightly, he still knew the truth that the iron should take advantage of the heat, the army rested for a day, and counted the casualties, although it was the ultimate battle, but in fact there were not many fights, and there were not many casualties under the Han army, and when they stood down, the casualties were less than two thousand, and the wounded were only more than ten thousand. And the generals of the Yuan army, Lu Yi, Han Meng and others were captured once, and the soldiers under them either surrendered or fled, and the number of Yuan soldiers who surrendered alone was as large as 100,000.
As the saying goes, the tree is scattered, and Yuan Shao's subordinates have such die-hard loyalists as trial matching, but more of them are aware of current affairs. For example, Koyi and Han Meng surrendered, but Wenchen was more troublesome, except for Xu Yu and Dong Zhao, Guo Tu Fengji couldn't let go of his body to serve Han Jin, and invited himself to return to his hometown to farm, but how could Han Jin let these scourges out, even if he raised them as pigs, he had to stay by his side to be safer.
Naturally, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Chen Lin and other really talented people are the top priority of Han Jin's request, but these few people are the temper of Lao Niu, Ren Han Jin wears out his mouth and does not surrender, and in the end, it was Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi who came out to get a few people. Not enough, Tian Feng still resigned from Han Jin's appointment on the grounds of admiring Taixue books and wanted to go to Taixue. Of course, Han Jin is also happy to be like this, anyway, he is cultivating talents for himself, so why not. After resting for three days, the Korean army set off again.
This time, the goal was directly aimed at Xindu, and the Yuan Men took a nest, and on the way, Yuan Bing naturally heard the wind and surrendered, even if there were those who were loyal to the Yuan family, they also abandoned the official seal and left, facing the Han Jin army, if they wanted to resist, they had to have that strength. In order to gain time, the Han Jin army divided its troops into several routes, with Yuan Shaohu's talisman, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's orders to surrender respectively, and when the Han Jin army arrived in Xindu, the entire southern part of Jizhou had already surrendered.
At the end of July, after the Han army arrived at the city of Xindu and set up camp, Han Jin met with Zhang Yan, who had come to visit.
"The last general, Zhang Yan, has seen the lord, congratulations to the lord for his victory." Zhang Yan has a beard on her face, she is about forty years old, and she is also born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, no one would have imagined that such a rough appearance, but her heart is as bright as a mirror.
Han Jin defeated Yuan Shao and established the position of the overlord of the north, he did not hesitate to vote over, if when Yang Chou was lobbying him to send troops to Xindu, he still held the idea of waiting to watch the show, then at this time he sincerely planned to join the Han army.
Han Jin smiled, strode forward to help Zhang Yan, looked at it and said: "General Zhang came to throw the blessing of the general, General Zhang rest assured, the general will not treat you badly, and after this battle, the general will definitely report to the court and ask for credit for General Zhang." ”
What to say to whom, Han Jin has already become a half-essence over the years, and in the face of a thief like Zhang Yan, the most direct thing is to lure him to his advantage. But the necessary beating is still required.
"However, General Zhang, the general knows that the subordinates of Montenegro are forced to disturb the local people because of their lives, but since they have become a member of our army in the future, they must abide by the military discipline of our army, otherwise they will not be able to talk if they make a mistake. It is important for General Zhang to remember this. ”
These words made Zhang Yan, who had just felt that Han Jin was easy to speak, suddenly sobered up, although Han Jin said it well, but he knew that his subordinates were a group of people, they were used to being thieves, and they were going to be officials, and they might not do anything, well, it seems that they have to beat the Naxi stinky boys when they go back, otherwise it will be bad to cause some trouble. Hey, it doesn't seem right, why does Yang Chou keep glancing at himself?
Although Zhang Yan is very smart, she understands it for a while. Yang Chou shook his head and sighed, this Brother Zhang, who is usually quite a shrewd person, why did he forget about business today, and he couldn't step out, planning to help him.
"Lord, General Zhang has already told his subordinates, the discipline of the Montenegrin Army is lax and the training is insufficient, Brother Zhang thinks that he is not the material for military training, and he is asking his subordinates to report to the lord, and ask the lord to send someone to train the brothers."
Yang Chou's words suddenly made Zhang Yan's mind flash, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Yes, lord, the brothers are used to being wild in the mountains all the year round, and their subordinates are not that piece of material, and please send capable people to take over these brothers, after all, these people are still very strong." ”
Zhang Yan's words are a disguised handover of military power, since seeing the fierce combat power of the Han army, Zhang Yan's heart has lost all the arrogance, his subordinates are not at the same level as others, and keeping them can only cause Han Jin's suspicions, it is better to be more cheerful, gain Han Jin's trust, and lead Han Jin's army to be chic as soon as possible. Han Jin nodded secretly, this Zhang Yan is really a character, he knows how to make trade-offs, knows how to advance and retreat, and can be reused.
"Let this go in advance, General Zhang will work hard for a while, and when the war is settled, the general will deal with it himself, but General Zhang surrounded Xindu and said, can you know some of the situation in Xindu?" Han Jin politely said a few words, he was not good at taking Zhang Yan's military power now, but for that Black Mountain Army, he had already thought of the usefulness in his heart, saying that it was imminent to train a mountain combat unit that had always won a hundred battles.
"My lord, the guards are Xin Ping's brothers Xin Bi and Tian Chou, both of whom are very powerful, and the last general has attacked the city several times and was beaten back by them."
When Zhang Yan said this, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, she originally wanted to take down the Xindu before Han Jin arrived and surprise Han Jin, but who knew that those two people were like stinky stones in a pit, smelly and hard. Ren Zhangyan used all kinds of means, but he couldn't take the letter.
Han Jin nodded, "Well, the matter is not in a hurry, since the general is here, of course he has to take Xindu, but General Zhang has worked hard, come here, send someone to get some delicious food for the soldiers of Montenegro, and let the brothers rest and rest." ”
Han Jin naturally had his plans, and now that he had Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's surname in his hands, he didn't believe that he couldn't take the capital.
"You said, if you want Yuan Gongzi to call the city, can you call it away?"
Xi Zhicai didn't answer, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, Guo Jia was in charge of some military secrets, and he would answer this question appropriately, "My lord, although someone in the city is in charge, the real power is actually still in the hands of Mrs. Yuan, as long as Mrs. Yuan surrenders, the letter will naturally surrender." The subordinates heard from the spies that Mrs. Yuan loved her youngest son very much, and Yuan Shao also had the intention of making Yuan Shang the son, but the internal opinions were not unanimous, so that it came to the end now. ”
Han Jin applauded and laughed, and said: "God help me, since this third prince is so useful, then you have to make good use of it, although it is not impossible to capture Xindu, but with the construction of Xindu, if you attack it, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which is almost unbearable for Han Jin."
On the second day, Han Jin came to the city with a majestic army, but he didn't expect that before he could let people call the city, the city gate opened, and several horsemen ran out of it, escorting a scribe to the Han army.
"Stop coming!" The Iron Guard stepped forward to stop him.
"In Xinbi, Xiajizhou, I came to ask to see General Han, and I also asked Brother Bing to report it." The scribe was not annoyed, his words were unusually polite, if he let his former friends know, he would definitely be shocked, if he had eyes at that time, in Xindu, the Xin family was a well-deserved family, Xin Bi Xin Ping was Yuan Shao's subordinates, and Yuan Shao did not contribute to the capture of Jizhou from Han Fu.
"Let him come!" Han Jin said lightly, and in his heart, he had actually expected Xin Bi's intention. But the appearance of the pretending still has to be pretended. lest these Jizhou heroes think that without them, the earth really won't turn.
Xin Bi was not careless, dismounted and walked in front of Han Jin, and bowed, "Xiaguan Xin Bi see the general." ”
Han Jin frowned, this is also a cunning element, but he was a little bolder, he was afraid of Yuan Shao's affection in the past, and he didn't convict Yuan Shao's anti-name, but Xin Bi claimed to be a subordinate official, and he also recognized the current court in disguise, that is, he secretly said that he was also a member of the general's subordinates.
"Your name is Simbi? Ben will ask you, since you know that Ben will have come yesterday, why didn't you come early to meet you, but you came late, do you also have a rebellion? Han Jin's voice carried a hint of chill, and every word hit the bottom of Xin Bi's heart.
Xin Bi Jiling trembled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The general atoned for his sins, but it was not early yesterday, and the lower officials thought that the general was tired from the journey, so he didn't dare to disturb." How dare you be disrespectful, and ask the general to be clear. ”
The reason why Xin Bi put on such a posture is that he is very helpless, the people of this era are the most important, and he doesn't want to be the backbone behind his back, but when he thinks of the hundreds of people in his family looking at him with burning eyes, his heart softened, and his knees were a little softer, which could keep the family safe. Even if you are scolded, it is worth it.
Han Jin resisted Xin Bi to the death, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he wanted to find a reason to eliminate all the moths in these places, but this old guy knew each other very well, he naturally couldn't kill innocents indiscriminately.
"Who is in charge of the city, what are their movements, and are they going to fight against the imperial army?" Han Jin asked a few questions in a row, straight to the core of the problem, without dragging his feet.
Xin Bi was in a cold sweat, and Han Jin's directness made all the drafts he had prepared earlier go down the drain, wiping his sweat and saying: "General, it is Mrs. Yuan who is in charge of the city, and Mrs. Yuan sent a villain to discuss the matter of surrendering, Mrs. Yuan once said that as long as the general depends on her a few things, she will open the city and surrender." ”
Han Jin snorted coldly, the second lady actually talked to herself about the conditions, and her courage was not small, "Okay, the general knows that you go back and tell Mrs. Yuan, the general's army is waiting here, in the time of the three incense, if the gate of the Xindu is not opened, the surnames of the second son of Yuan and the third prince of Yuan will be over, and the general will also order the siege of the city, of course, if you feel that the letter has the strength to resist the general's army, the general will not mind letting his subordinates make more achievements." ”
