Heyin County, government office. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Zhang Fei's surprise attack on Heyin Port, three days have passed now, Zhang Fei, who has made such a great achievement, is not in a good mood at this time, according to the practice of northern Xinjiang, prisoners have always been sent directly to the designated counties and counties in northern Xinjiang to take care of them, but now it is not easy to send them back to the north? The only two naval divisions were still fighting, and they couldn't spare time at all.

In this way, nearly 100,000 allied captives can only be detained in Heyin County, and the victor takes care of the captured Tianci army, but the total number of troops is only 60,000, and it is not an easy task to supervise the 100,000 army with 60,000 troops, and the most important thing is that Zhang Fei also wants to draw out a part of the army to continue southward, but the problem is that 100,000 captives are dragging Zhang Fei's hind legs!

"Grandma, when did I ever be so cowardly? I couldn't even go south if I wanted to, which angered Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu buried these captives alive! Zhang Fei, who sat on the top of the head and said the head of the nest, was very unhappy, there was a clear law in northern Xinjiang that prohibiting the abuse of prisoners, and because of the Yellow River, the grain and grass transportation in the north could not arrive in time, resulting in Zhang Fei, who was a general, could only fill his stomach with his nest head, of course, Zhang Fei was not that the nest head was difficult to swallow, but because there were too many prisoners, Zhang Fei could not get out and was troubled.

"Yide, there are nearly 100,000 prisoners in the county now, if we can't dispose of the prisoners in time, it will make our army extremely passive." An old man with white temples sat down under Zhang Fei and said with a frown. This old man is not an ordinary person, but Zhang Wen, the old general Zhang Wen who made a special trip south to assist Zhang Fei!

Zhang Wen is a famous general of the imperial court, when he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the land of Yongliang, Zhang Fei was still gnawing on books in the Northern Xinjiang Military Academy, in order to make the battle of the Southern Expedition more smooth, Liu Tai appointed Zhang Wen as the left army supervisor. And Zhang Fei is also very satisfied with Zhang Wen, although Zhang Wen is a supervisor of the army, and he can theoretically influence Zhang Fei's military orders, but in fact, Zhang Wen has nothing to say anything excessive except for Zhang Fei as a dog-headed military advisor.

In fact, Zhang Wen also has a hard time, when he first came to the Tianci Army, he was entrusted by Liu Tai with a heavy responsibility, supervising the position of an army, how much power he has, doesn't Zhang Wen know? If Zhang Wen really wanted to find Zhang Fei unhappy, Zhang Fei had no way at all, after all, Zhang Wen had the royal edict given by Liu Taiqin in his hands, and he could even deprive Zhang Fei of his command if necessary.

However, Zhang Wen did not do this, but chose to exist around Zhang Fei in the form of auxiliary, because Zhang Wen knew very well the weight of Zhang Fei in the Heavenly Army, how could Zhang Wen, who was old and sophisticated, offend Zhang Fei? Isn't this unpleasant for yourself?

"Old general, how could I not know about the trouble of the captives? Isn't there no solution? Now that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have important positions, it is impossible for them to come to assist, and His Royal Highness is a person who wants to save face, and he is unwilling to transfer more troops and horses to the south to attach, what can I do about Lao Zhang? Zhang Fei has always been open-mouthed, and sometimes he scolds Liu Tai a lot when he is drunk. But Liu Tai has never blamed Zhang Fei, as a monarch, if this little verbal matter has to be blamed, then how can he talk about hegemony?

"Yide, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Fei didn't mind, because Zhang Fei had this qualification. But Zhang Wen couldn't agree, after all, Zhang Wen was a veteran, he respected the Han family from the bottom of his bones, and he didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect, even in language, hearing Zhang Fei's disrespectful words, Zhang Wen suddenly frowned, and said out loud with a bit of a heavy language.

"Then what do you say, old general?" Pouted, Zhang Fei also understood Zhang Wen's stubbornness, but Zhang Fei also knew in his heart that although it didn't matter if he said something verbally, in fact, Zhang Fei's respect for Liu Tai would not be less than anyone else's, but sometimes he couldn't control that mouth, and Zhang Wen could take Liu Tai so seriously, Zhang Fei was still quite satisfied.

"This" Zhang Wen, who is an old general, couldn't help frowning, if he can come up with a solution, do he still need to be so troubled? Raising his head and glancing around at the worried generals in the lobby, suddenly, I saw Zhang Wen's eyes lit up, staring at one of the generals who was nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, a leopard head and ape arms, long hair and tired back of his head, and a big man who was obviously dressed as a relation, and said: "General Hua is the deputy general of Yide, I don't know if there is any high opinion?" ”

It is natural that he is not an ordinary person who can become Zhang Fei's deputy general, but there is only one senior general with the surname of China in the Tianci Army! That is Hua Xiong, who was captured by Zhang Fei himself under the Tiger Prison! Hua Xiong is Dong Zhuo's general, who wanted to die after being captured by Zhang Fei, but under Zhang Fei's patient persuasion, he finally surrendered to the north and became Zhang Fei's direct subordinate.

In fact, the main reason why Hua Xiong was captured and sought death was that his wife and children were in Guanzhong, and if he surrendered to the northern Xinjiang, Dong Zhuo would definitely be furious, and then sit on Hua Xiong's family, so Hua Xiong wanted to exchange his death for the name of loyalty and righteousness, and get Dong Zhuo's favor for the family. In Hua Xiong's opinion, it doesn't matter if he dies, the general of the defeated army will die if he dies, but Hua Xiong doesn't want his people to die because of this!

And the biggest reason why Zhang Fei was able to persuade Huaxiong to surrender was that he got Liu Tai's approval and promised to rescue Huaxiong's family. At that time, in order to sell Zhang Fei a face, Liu Tai issued a royal edict overnight and sent it to Yongliang, and rescued Hua Xiong's family in time, otherwise, even if Hua Xiong was willing to surrender, he could only be separated from his family.

After Hua Xiong's family came to settle in Northern Xinjiang, Hua Xiong's gratitude to Zhang Fei was really inexpressible, and he swore allegiance to Zhang Fei on the spot, fortunately, Zhang Fei is not the kind of ambitious person, and carefully explained to Hua Xiong who the real benefactor is, but the old Qin people may be dead-headed, and identified Zhang Fei as Zhang Fei, and then Zhang Fei recommended Hua Xiong to enter the military academy, and Hua Xiong did not disappoint Zhang Fei, and achieved good results in the military school, and left the military school in just half a year to join Zhang Fei's command.

"Old General Zhang, how dare you have any opinions?" Although he is said to be Zhang Fei's deputy general, since he entered the Tianci Army, Hua Xiong's surname has changed a lot, he rarely smiles, does things in a down-to-earth manner, and spends most of his time studying the art of war and strategy, resulting in the name of the fourth general of Xiliang that year is almost forgotten.

"Zijian, what can I say, what kind of system is it to be so careful and look like a daughter?" Seeing Hua Xiong bowing his head and speaking with a humble look, Zhang Fei was suddenly a little unhappy, and shouted loudly. As the direct prefect of Huaxiong, Zhang Fei can be said to be the person who knows Huaxiong the most over the years, and knows why Huaxiong has become like this, but Zhang Fei has never had a good chance to say anything, after all, Huaxiong has his own mature thoughts, which cannot be changed by Zhang Fei's words.

"General, the last general" Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Fei with an embarrassed face, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes. In fact, Hua Xiong really has a way to deal with these 100,000 captives, but the question is, how dare Hua Xiong say more? In the God-given army, there are too many heroes, resulting in a tiger general like Hua Xiong, and now he has also smoothed out his mind, and he is willing to live a mediocre life, and now Hua Xiong just wants to spend the second half of his life peacefully, if there is no war, accompany his wife and children at home, why bother to make any limelight?

"General Hua, the old man looked at you with a look of hesitation, thinking that the general must have a way to deal with these 100,000 prisoners." Zhang Wen stroked his beard and said with a smile. Squinting his eyes, staring at any of Hua Xiong's expressions, he saw that when Hua Xiong heard the words, his face suddenly turned red, and Zhang Wen shouted in his heart, "There is a play!" ”

"The old general looks down on the general" shook his head with a wry smile, it was obvious that Hua Xiong was still unwilling to come forward because of this matter. In fact, Hua Xiong still has a very big idea of gaining prestige in the Tianci Army, but Hua Xiong is not ready yet, especially when he is dealing with the old master Dong Zhuo this time, Hua Xiong is really embarrassed!

"Hey, old man, I heard that there are many Xiliang soldiers among the captives, in order to consolidate the defense line on the south bank, Dong Zhuo installed a lot of Xiliang generals in each station, if General Huahua can" I saw Zhang Wen arch his hand to Zhang Fei and said. Although this was said to Hua Xiong, it was actually said to Hua Xiong, since Hua Xiong was unwilling to express his position, why didn't Zhang Wen directly pick it out?

"Oh? Does the old general mean that he wants Zijian to persuade the captives to surrender and restrain them? Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a happy expression. However, when he spoke, his eyes secretly glanced at Hua Xiong, and it was obvious that Zhang Fei must have thought of this a long time ago, but it was not easy to bring it up because he was worried that Hua Xiong would not accept it.

"That's exactly what you want, General Gaojian," Zhang Wen said with a smile as he kneaded his old face into a ball. In fact, as early as yesterday, Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei had a good discussion in private, wanting to use Huaxiong to restrain the captives, if Huaxiong can really persuade the captives to surrender the Western Liang generals, then all the problems will be solved, and it is even possible to use these captives for their own use!

"Old General Zhang is so capable" glanced at Zhang Fei and Zhang Wen with a wry smile, even if he didn't understand it just now, could it be that Huaxiong still doesn't understand it now? Zhang Fei and Zhang Wen are singing a double reed, and the intention is naturally to let Hua Xiong persuade the prisoners to surrender.

In fact, after entering Heyin, Hua Xiong has been deliberately avoiding Beicheng, where the prisoner camp is located, because Hua Xiong doesn't want to see his old friend in the past and now he has become a prisoner, as a deputy general, doesn't Hua Xiong know who is in the prisoner camp? It's just that Hua Xiong doesn't want to expose the sad things, and wants to break off with Xiliang.

"The identity of the last general is different, if you persuade the captives to surrender, they will inevitably be promoted by the captives as generals, and when the time comes, it will conflict with the system of the Tianci Army, and my Tianci Army has never had such regulations, in case His Royal Highness blames, it is not a pity for the last general to die, but it will affect the general and General Zhang" Hua Xiong shook his head helplessly and said. In fact, Hua Xiong already had a case in his heart, but as a deputy general, if the soldiers and horses surpassed the main general Zhang Fei, it would indeed be a bit excessive, and Hua Xiong did not have the heart to lead the prisoners.

"What is not involved, if His Royal Highness is really to blame, this general bears it, it is a big deal that His Royal Highness abolishes the position of this general, anyway, my old Zhang is not rare, so it is decided, Zijian, come and say that you will go to the prisoner camp to persuade those prisoners, this general allows you to lead an army alone, and then dismiss the prisoners in a timely manner after the war, as for the name and salary" Others are easy to say, but the title of the captive army is not Zhang Fei, and the most important thing is that there are food and salaries in the major armies in Northern Xinjiang, This is different from the other princes' subordinates who only eat, but where did Zhang Fei go to find food for the prisoner camp? Zhang Fei is not a big money, even if it is a big money, Zhang Fei does not dare to distribute food and salary privately.

"The name is easy to say, let's be a Zhongzhou soldier, after all, most of the captives are people from the Central Plains, or the salary, the old man will give His Highness a fold, see what His Highness means?" Zhang Fei was reluctant to set a name, but to avoid suspicion, but Zhang Wen did not have this need, after all, Zhang Wen was a prisoner, and as a prisoner, he was originally qualified to do some special things, but even if he was a prisoner, Zhang Wen could not set a salary for the prisoners.

"Okay, General Ben and the old general will play together." nodded, the best solution to this matter is to let Liu Tai decide, after all, it is already a big crime to set the military number privately, if the salary is set again, it will be a bit rebellious for so long, 100,000 troops, is not a small number!

"By the way, Yide, if General Hua can successfully complete the persuasion to surrender, how should our army march next?" With a roll of his eyes, since the matter has been decided, how can Zhang Wen, an old thing, still have a chance for Huaxiong to refute? Changing the topic is the best way at the moment, and the old and sophisticated Zhang Wen is also very clever in transferring, so that people can't catch a little handle!

"What's next?" Frowning slightly, Zhang Fei cooperated very well and muttered with a thoughtful look, and then saw Zhang Fei glance around at the generals present, and saw that all the generals were looking at him with a look of standby, Zhang Fei smiled, and said in a somewhat playful tone: "If this general wants to attack Luoyang, are you willing to go with you?" ”

========= the prisoner camp in the north of the city of Heyin County

Because of Dong Zhuo's tyranny, most of the people in the area south of Hongnong have moved into Guanzhong, and the people left behind can be said to be only a handful, and Heyin County is no exception, because the Tianci army captured Heyin, so that the people hiding around Heyin went down the mountain and returned to live in the county, so that the county has a little more popularity, but the number of people is too small, and the county seat cannot be filled at all.

Needless to say, the reputation of the Tianci Army has risen again and again since the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang regime, and every time the Tianci Army goes, it will inevitably prepare food to give to the people, which has been affirmed by the people, so that the Tianci Army has just occupied the county, and the people will rush to return to their homes to welcome the Tianci Army.

The atmosphere in the prisoner camp is very solemn, there are disabled soldiers everywhere, I saw these soldiers in various colors of armor falling on the side of the road, leaning on the camp tent, looking indescribably tired, but although most of the prisoners are tired, but their demeanor is still relatively good, many people even grinning and gnawing on the nest head, revealing a longing look in their eyes, it seems that the Tianci army is not only famous in the hearts of the people, even in the hearts of these "enemy soldiers", the image is also very good.

In fact, these soldiers did not change from the common people? The Tianci Army has always been in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and has never treated the prisoners badly, although the allied soldiers have become prisoners of the Tianci Army, but they have not been subjected to any abuse, they have to eat what they should eat, and they have to do some prescribed sports at the specified time every day, as long as they are not disabled, and there are some rewards for good results.

Although some Tianci soldiers with a better mentality were guarding the prisoners, they sometimes talked and laughed with the prisoners, secretly took out some wine, and let the prisoners taste it, and the atmosphere was indescribably good. It can be said that in the eyes of the heavenly soldiers, they are not prisoners, nor enemies, but their own people who are about to become their own people!

"I've seen General Hua"

"The last general has seen General Hua"

Hua Xiong pulled the reins of the horse all the way into the prisoner camp, and everywhere he passed, everyone who saw Hua Xiong dressed up stepped forward and shouted softly at Hua Xiong, these saluting soldiers, looking at Hua Xiong's eyes revealed a strange look, of course, not Hua Xiong's disdain as a general, but Hua Xiong's general identity!

As the saying goes, a small soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!

In the Tianci Army, the competition is very large, almost everyone dreams of wearing the dress of a general, if they can become a general, even if they do not have a title, it can bring them great honor. You know, although the northern Xinjiang advocates bravery, there are a lot of armor, but in fact there are only a handful of generals, if a county or township can produce a general, then not only will be worshiped by the villagers, but also enter the clan ancestral hall, become a god-like figure in the eyes of the villagers, what kind of honor is this?

And Hua Xiong, who is a general, also smiled at the Tianci soldiers who revealed a longing gaze in their eyes, in the past, this situation was impossible for Hua Xiong, but after joining the Tianci Army, Hua Xiong understood a lot, and also understood a lot, knowing why the Tianci Army has always won a hundred battles, because they have other people's different generals and commanders, they have the best treatment of the entire Han Dynasty, and the most solid backing of the entire Han Dynasty!

They are not afraid of death, and if they die, Beijiang will give their families a considerable amount of compensation, and if they have children, their children will also receive various preferential treatments, such as priority admission to various colleges, and priority arrangements from the government after graduation. All kinds of policies for the consideration of the soldiers have even made many soldiers prefer to pull one more enemy soldier on the battlefield to die on their backs, rather than go back to do nothing for the rest of their lives!

Of course, Northern Xinjiang does not advocate this practice, and Liu Tai also made it clear that if he does not spare his life, he is not worthy of being a man, because men should bear their own responsibilities, rather than give up their lives because of a small injury!
