Chapter 400 The Final Battle of Hebei

Han, in the second year of the first peace, December 23, the beacon smoke that permeated the land of Hebei finally burned to the most intense moment!

Qingzhou Thorn History, the Han Hussar General Wang Yu, and Jizhou Mu, the chariot general Yuan Shao fought under the plain city, and won, but did not do the full work. At the moment when Yuan Shaojun ran out of ammunition and food, the Xiongnu slaughtered all the tribes of Da Dan Yu, Yu Fuluo, led the crowd out of the nest, the elite of the tribe totaled 24,000 horsemen, across Jizhou with great momentum, forced 800 miles in five days, rushed to the plain battlefield.

When the parties on the battlefield got the news, Hu Qi was only twenty miles away from Pingyuan City, and twenty miles away in a blink of an eye!

After more than half a year of fierce fighting, most of Hebei's military forces were all gathered on the banks of the river.

A fierce battle is about to break out!

In the sound of drums and horns on Mingshi Mountain, there was finally a sense of excitement again, and the army in the camp under the mountain was still smug and had no momentum, and even the battle flag gave people a feeling of weakness, far from being like several other people and horses who were waving in the wind, hunting and hunting.

Can people's emotions have such an effect? It sounds weird, but it's actually not strange at all. The wind blowing across the plains is the same, but things like battle flags, after all, are in the hands of people. The flag-bearer is listless, can he still expect to see the sea of flags like a forest, and the scene of the sun is obscured?

Zhang Jaw and others have some experience of this. The most direct reason is hunger and cold, in this cold winter season, losing most of the baggage, it is really a very fatal thing.

If it weren't for Hu Qi being too strong, all the generals in Jizhou would have surrendered, and there was no need to do anything else, as long as Wang Yu burned the baggage or transported it to the city, even if he won the battle, what was the use?

"Wang Pengju is brave and good at fighting, and his martial arts are world-famous. The world has tried to compare it with the things of today, and this comparison is indeed very reasonable. ”

At this moment, all the generals are watching the battle in the enemy tower in the camp, and from time to time some people express some feelings, and now it is Jizhou General Zhang Nan who is speaking.

"What do you mean by what Zhengnan said?" Zhang Jaw didn't speak, and the general Jiao touched and Zhang Nan were on good terms, which was quite funny.

"On that day, Gaozu asked Gao Qi and Wang Ling about the gains and losses of the world. Said to him: Your Majesty is slow and insulting, Xiang Yuren loves people, but he can't benefit the world, so the world will eventually return to Han. It can be seen from this that this governance is benevolent. Those who do not reward merit will not last long. "In this era, the distinction between military generals and ministers is actually not very big, Zhang Nan casually quoted scriptures, and what he said was also the head.

"Zhengnan makes sense." Zhang Nan's words immediately caused a burst of resonance, the general Jiang Qi was born in a famous family in Wei County, and when he heard this, he was also angry at the moment: "Although we are defeated." But there are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and if Wang Junhou wants to preside over Jizhou, he can also use us to stabilize the place. Aren't these many benefits worth his attention? ”

"Yes. It is! ”

"It is said that when it came time to divide the subordinates, he always hesitated and rubbed the seal letter in his hand. Until the corners of the seal were smoothed out, it was still not possible to give it for a long time. I'll see. This little overlord is the same as that overlord, maybe he deliberately imitates it. ”

Yin Kai, who spoke, came from the great Confucian Lu Zhi, and when it came to it, he had a friendship with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, because he was well educated, he inevitably spoke more bitterly and meanly, and the allusions that came casually were even more in everyone's hearts.

Zhang Jaw did not participate in the discussion of the crowd, but he was also listening to and thinking about these statements.

After reading the suicide note, he had already secretly surrendered to Wang Yu. The reason why he was reluctant to leave the camp to meet him was that he did not want to arouse the suspicion of the generals in Jizhou and cause an accident, but in fact, he was not confused in his heart.

In this era, although Confucianism has become popular in the world, and many scholars also like to put the word benevolence on their lips, people who really understand political strategy rarely take this kind of thing seriously.

As the generals discussed, during the founding of the country, the two heroes who fought for hegemony are the best positive and negative examples.

Is Gaozu a good person? Even if you ignore the ruffian spirit in him who scolds people at every turn and turns into dirty, and then he wantonly kills heroes from all walks of life, it is not a benevolent act, right?

However, Xiang Yu treats people kindly, is approachable, and shares weal and woe with the soldiers under his command, and when he fights, he will be in person in battle, and will not avoid the attack of the arrow and stone, so he will win a hundred battles, and repeatedly defeat the strong with the weak.

This point is really similar to Wang Yu, Wang Yu leveled the millions of yellow scarves in Qingzhou with more than 20,000 people, and the prosperity of martial arts was great for a while; In the battle of Pengcheng in Chu and Han, how could Xiang Yu not use 30,000 Chu troops to break the 600,000 coalition army of the princes?

The biggest difference between the two is in terms of remuneration.

Gao Qi and Wang Ling's original words, there is another half: Your Majesty made people conquer the city, and the subordinates were given because of it, and the world benefited, this is the place where the old nobles of the Warring States Period recognized Liu Bang the most.

Whoever recruits soldiers will be his, and whoever fights the territory will also be rewarded for his merits. And Xiang Yu always hesitated, trying to fully evaluate someone first, and then decide whether to let him take charge of an army and a city.

Xiang Yu's approach may not be unreasonable, but in terms of actual effect, it is much worse than Liu Bang.

The current Wang Yu seems to have this tendency. His sympathy for the people is always greater than his appeasement of Haoqiang. The treatment of the generals in Jizhou is not distinguished by the size of the residual strength and the family background behind each person, but by the ability of each person.

For example, Zhang Jaw himself is very valued, since the Battle of Longcuo, Qingzhou has recruited at least five or six waves of envoys, and there are Tian Feng and Kong Rong who have sent out twice respectively.

Although he has not yet received a formal appointment and substantive promise, Zhang Jaw has no doubt that he will soon be reused after arriving in Qingzhou.

When he was in Juxian County, Wang Yu's surrender could be said to be a bloodless capture of the city, but now, Zhang Jaw only had 2,000 remnants in his hands, and his strength was not much stronger than Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan.

However, for Jiao, Zhang Zhi and the others, Kong Rong only promised that as long as they surrendered, they would be guaranteed to have no worries about their lives, and no other treatment was mentioned.

Obviously, this is the embodiment of Wang Yu's policy tendency to restrict the powerful and powerful, and of course it can also be said to be meritocracy. Zhang Jaw still has a very clear understanding of the military strategy of himself and his colleagues.

Wang Yu's appreciation touched him very much, not every victor would treat the defeated generals with such courtesy. But he can be worried. What does the future hold for this victor?

Although Wang Yu has never been defeated since his debut, and there are many battles in which the weak defeat the strong, isn't it the same for Xiang Yu back then? The latter has only lost once in his life, and as a result, he has lost his country and his life, will Wang Yu be different?

Zhang Jaw wasn't quite sure, he couldn't even find someone to refer to.

Among the five generals in Qingzhou, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong are both from poor families. Especially Huang Zhong, who has been in the mix for half his life, is still just a small official! This kind of person from a low background, even if his family background is a bit famous, is a set of things for benevolence and righteousness. It will also be particularly recommended.

Yu Ban is a descendant of the Wang family's private soldier at all, and he has no reference value at all.

Tai Shici's family background is not bad, but this person's style of acting is very different from ordinary people, saying that he is running for the future to serve Wang Yu - whether others believe it or not, anyway, Zhang Jaw is a hundred people who don't believe it.

And then there is Zhao Yun...... Thinking of this young general, Zhang Jaw's mood was a little complicated. If he guessed correctly, he should have some relationship with the other party, and his understanding of Zhao Yun is far above that of others. With the temperament of this young man. When you serve Wang Yu, will you consider any long-term plans and what's at stake?

The generals are like this, and the ministers are similar.

Tian Feng is an outlier. You can't eat it under Han Fu, and you can't eat it under Yuan Shao. In Qingzhou, it is like a fish in water. Naja He is said to have been captured on the battlefield, and the process of joining can be imagined.

Kong Rong? As the saying goes, things gather by like, people by groups, this person and you Heng kind of people have no rebellion, where can the city go deep? When he was in the court, all the people around him were a group of unwilling, real power figures, I don't know how much he offended him, and in the end he was sent to Beihai by Dong Zhuo, and he didn't even help to speak, which shows how popular he is.

As for Guoyuan, Wang Xiu and the like, they are all desperate guys. Think about it, before joining Wang Yu, Guo Yuan was even on the ship to Liaodong!

Bringing such a group of people together to create a Qingzhou Army that shocked the world is, of course, Wang Yu's business, but the bias of his governance has always been a hidden danger.

There is no such thing as winning a hundred battles, and who knows when the battle will be staged? For example, in the current battle, will it be the fall of the little overlord? No one knows, and Zhang Jaw's doubts are also due to this.

In this era, people with a little insight know that benevolence and righteousness are good as long as they are on their lips, and they cannot be taken seriously at all. If it weren't for the fact that the status was too low and he wanted to make a name for himself, in fact, he didn't even need to say it, and someone would naturally help publicize it.

With Wang Yu's powerful position, there is really no need to take this kind of thing seriously, and even implement it. In order to prevent the people from being poisoned, he fought to the death with 24,000 Hu horses, can he commit it?

Reason told Zhang Jaw that Wang Yu's words were not pretextual, but sincere; But reason also told him that the lord of this character was not a promising one, at least among the victors in Chinese history, there was no such person, but among the losers, there was a very similar and famous one.

Therefore, he was unable to make up his mind for a long time.

However, time was running out for no one, and the roaring Hu cavalry interrupted him, leaving him with no time to continue hesitating, and he had to make a decision before the battle!

If he just watched the fierce battle between the two sides and enter Qingzhou in the future, even if Wang Yu, the lord, didn't care, what kind of expression should he use to face the robes? This kind of mustard can't be resolved by saying two good words.

What's more, the prince is not a person who is easy to fool, and his benevolence and righteousness seem to be only out of the maintenance of the weak by the strong, rather than giving people an excuse for plotting or playing double-faced.

I am different from these colleagues, the condition they get is to save their lives, and it is the same if they descend early and late, but they can ......

What to do? How do you choose?

He hesitated and dazed, until he was awakened by a loud noise.

The sound came from the west, accompanied by the smoke and dust that obscured the sky, the sound of horses' hooves was messy, and the whistling sound was tinged with endless anger and anxiety, completely different from the bearded horses that the jaws had expected. In his understanding, the purpose of howling is to deter the enemy, right?

"What's that?" Yin Kai suddenly pointed to the smoke and shouted.

"Who is the man who rides the white horse?" When the generals looked anxiously, they saw that under the smoke and dust, in front of the overwhelming Hu Qi, a white horse of a divine horse was galloping, as if it was the king of horses of the wild horses on the grassland.

"Oh my God...... What did I see, the ...... on the white horse? He was just turning around and firing the arrow, wasn't he? And shot a man to death! He, is he harassing the entire Xiongnu army with his own strength? Looking closer, the faces of the generals changed again, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all.

"Crazy! The Qingzhou army is full of madmen! ”

As he spoke, the white-horse knight had already shot two arrows, shot two Hu horsemen, and used his gun to provoke a rain of arrows from the Huns' revenge!

Majestic!

Unbelievably arrogant!

No one expected the arrival of the Hun army to be such an opening!

No one knows what the white knight wants to do. Even if you have a lot of relationship with the other party and have already recognized the other party's open jaw.

Suddenly, if you ignore the noise brought by Hu Qi, within a radius of dozens of miles, only unbelievable exclamations echoed.
