Chapter 298: The Road to Breaking the Enemy (10)
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were slightly stunned when they heard Xu Ji's words, obviously not understanding what Xu Ji was referring to.
Xu Ji didn't bother to explain, what he was thinking now was that if Han Hao was mishapned, he would definitely be fully responsible, after all, this series of strategies was all formulated by him alone.
Xu Ji knew that with the increase of his strength, his influence on this era is becoming more and more huge, and many things and people are no longer within the scope of Xu Ji's cognition, although the characters of the heroes of this era have not changed much, but Xu Ji cannot guarantee their fate.
Wen Ping's death made Xu Ji realize this more profoundly, these heroes are not at all "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Three Kingdoms" plane concepts, everyone is flesh and blood in front of him.
Han Hao is the same, although most of the current development of things is the same as what he planned, and the situation is also developing in the direction he expected, but Han Hao's whereabouts have gone wrong.
It was useless to think too much, Xu Ji sighed, and said to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao behind him: "You don't have to ambush here anymore, immediately look for it along the river bank, and you will definitely rescue all the people who fell into the river." After a while, Du Qi will come over. ”
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were stunned, not understanding what Xu Ji meant at all, but Yanzhou's military order still made them unconditionally choose to obey and immediately gave the order.
The Yanzhou army, under the command of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, drove in groups of three or five to the river.
When the sky opened its eyes, it was already sunny.
The sun after the rainstorm brings rainbows.
Han Hao was gently woken up by the wind on the riverside.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Han Hao jumped up and looked around. I saw countless soldiers lying down by the river. I don't know life and death.
He felt Dao ache all over, almost numb. The wound on the shoulder is no longer bleeding. But what happened just now is vivid. Thinking of this, Han Hao looked down. But I saw the body of the young soldier who had saved his life lying there, but there was no longer any life.
Han Hao was already crying without tears at this time, so he slowly knelt down and picked up the soldier's body.
At this time, Han Hao's soldiers had gradually woken up, groaning and getting up from the ground, moving their muscles and bones, of course, there were many soldiers who could no longer stand up.
After a while, the soldiers gathered around Han Hao. looked at Han Hao, who was staring blankly, silently.
"General, let's kill back! Don't let go of Zhang Yan's villain! A soldier shouted, and many soldiers responded one after another.
The personal soldier who had been with Han Hao on the boat stood up and said to the soldiers around him: "Don't mess up, the general has his own measure, and even if you want to settle accounts, one Zhang Yan is not enough!" We also have to count Wang Kuang's share! If there is no order from Wang Kuang. How could Zhang Yan command Wang Kuang's army, and how could he leak so many ships? ”
The words of this pro-soldier caused these soldiers to think deeply.
Han Hao raised his head and said, "The rights and wrongs of this are not as simple as you think, I have followed Lord Wang Kuang for many years, and there is no special reason. How could Lord Wang Kuang treat me like this? ”
The soldiers were silent.
"I can tell you about this particular reason!" A clear male voice came.
Han Hao and his soldiers were taken aback when they heard the sound, and they all turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from. But I was shocked to find that I don't know when the road was. He was already surrounded by well-armed and fierce soldiers, just looking at the clothes. Without asking, you can know that the army in front of Lu Dao is the Yanzhou army.
Compared with the energetic and well-equipped Yanzhou army, Han Hao's army was more like a little beggar standing in front of the Monopoly man at this time. I couldn't help but panic.
Han Hao took a saber from the hands of his own soldiers, looked at the opposite side, and saw three people galloping out of the enemy on horseback, without asking, of course it was Xu Ji, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. And Gao Shun, who had escorted Xu Ji before, had already rushed back to the camp to sit down.
Thinking that his best friend Du Yi died in the hands of the Yanzhou army, Han Hao's eyes were red, but he knew that he couldn't take revenge, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides in front of him was too great, do you want to surrender? Han Hao sneered in his heart, how could he do such a thing as Wang Yi.
Wang Kuang no longer trusts himself, but he can't be sorry for Wang Kuang! What's more, as soon as he died, these soldiers around him would definitely not be embarrassed by the Yanzhou army, thinking of this, Han Hao raised his hand violently and wiped the steel knife in his hand towards his neck.
Xu Ji on the opposite side had already known that Han Hao was very likely to have such a hand, he copied it with both hands, and the hand crossbow hanging on the horse's back immediately appeared in Xu Ji's hand, the light flashed, Han Hao only felt that his eyes lit up, and then there was a pain in his mouth, and the saber in his hand was immediately knocked away, and his arm was even more numb.
Before he could understand what was going on, Zhou Cang, who was beside Xu Ji, had already come to Han Hao's side, copied it with his hand, grabbed the cow tendon of Han Hao's armor like lightning, and lifted Han Hao up with a slight force and pressed it on his horse. This series of actions was faster than lightning, Han Hao's soldiers couldn't react at all, they were still worried about Han Hao's suicide and opened their mouths wide, who knew that in the blink of an eye, their main general had already fallen into the hands of the enemy, it was incredible. It felt like the eagle arrow that saved Han Hao only hit the saber in Han Hao's hand, and Zhou Cang had already come to Han Hao's eyes, how Xu Ji lifted the crossbow and fired arrows, and how Zhou Cang rode his horse, he couldn't see it at all. Obviously, Xu Ji had expected Han Hao's move a long time ago, so he prepared in advance.
Where did Han Hao's soldiers want to get their generals to be caught by the enemy inexplicably in the blink of an eye, and they were in chaos, wanting to fight back, but they threw a mouse bogey, after all, Han Hao's life was now in Xu Ji's hands, and he had to choose to surrender.
Han Hao's soldiers gave up resistance, and marched towards the Yanzhou camp under the command of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, seeing that although they chose to surrender, their eyes were still staring at Han Hao on Xu Ji's horseback, Xu Ji knew what they meant, smiled slightly, and did not explain. For Han Hao, an outstanding talent, Xu Ji must be subdued.
Han Hao, who was on horseback, looked resolutely uncooperative with his eyes closed. The Yanzhou army and Han Haojun slowly moved through the Yanzhou camp. The corpses on the banks of the river were naturally cleaned.
After a short time, he came to the camp of the Yanzhou army, and Xu Ji helped Han Hao off his horse. Take Han Hao to the Chinese army tent in the Yanzhou camp.
Han Hao was already fearless by this time, and followed Xu Ji to stride towards the big tent of the Chinese army. Be open to what is going to happen to you. The attitude of seeing death as if it were home made Xu Ji praise it.
After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Ji asked Han Hao to sit down. Han Hao was also not polite, so he sat down in the position designated by Xu Ji. Before Xu Ji could speak, Han Hao looked directly at Xu Ji and said: "You don't have to waste your efforts, I have no interest in knowing what status you have in Yanzhou, let alone talking about any business with you, so far, I, Han Hao, only want to die!" ”
Xu Ji looked amused and smiled: "General Han Hao's anger is really big, but I have a question. Why is General Han Hao so hostile to our Yanzhou army? ”
Han Hao snorted coldly and said, "Of course you can't know the Dao!" But it doesn't hurt to tell you, my friend Du Ji died at the hands of your Yanzhou army......"
Xu Ji immediately understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "I see, but I don't know where General Han Hao got Du Ji to die in the hands of our Yanzhou army?" ”
Han Hao wanted to talk about Zhang Yan very much, so this news was absolutely accurate, so he had to open his mouth, but he couldn't speak, because Han Hao suddenly remembered that he didn't know anything about Zhang Yan at all, can he do what a person like this said? He didn't forget that Du Yi's death was the news that Zhang Yan had sent back. And if no one else sees it, where can it stand?
At this time, Zhou Cang walked in from the outside and heard the conversation between the two. Immediately said: "Du Qi? At that time, I arrested Mr. Du Gi, but it was not my hand, but the person who was traveling with Du Ji suddenly became troubled. Suddenly pushed Lord Du Ji into the ground, and I had a chance to come to Lord Du Ji's side. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to catch Mr. Du Ji off his horse......"
Han Hao was stunned when he heard this, and he was immediately overjoyed. Because there is an overtone in these words, that is, Du Qi is not dead. Therefore, Han Hao's heart, which was already like ashes, suddenly had hope, and he couldn't believe it: "What did you say? Brother Bohou is still alive? Don't lie to me......"
As soon as he said this, he saw two people walking in from outside the big tent, and one of them smiled and said, "Brother Han Hao, am I not right in front of you!?" "It's Du Ji's voice!
Han Hao turned his head when he heard this, and then he saw Du Ji and Wang Yi standing beside him with a smile and nodding to him. Where did Han Hao think that he could see Du Ji in his lifetime? Overjoyed, he pounced and hugged Du Ji tightly. That scene was so touching that Wang Yi, a person who only had interests in his heart, couldn't help nodding and smiling, Xu Ji was very emotional, looking at the appearance of the two, Xu Ji couldn't help but think of his good subordinate who was also a friend Wen Ping, and the scenes of his interactions with Wen Ping constantly appeared in front of him, which made Xu Ji's heart gloomy.
It took a long time for Han Hao and Du Ji's emotions to gradually calm down, and Xu Ji smiled at the two of them: "If you have anything to say, sit down and say!" ”
Han Hao only then remembered where he was, he was also a smart person, as soon as he saw that Du Ji could come and go freely in the Yanzhou military camp, why didn't he understand what was going on? Before he could speak, Du Yi had already opened his mouth and said sincerely: "Brother Han Hao, why don't you join the Yanzhou Army......"
"No way!" Before Du Yi finished speaking, Han Hao had already flatly refused: "The friendship between you and my brothers is private, but how can people do things for the sake of public and private." I and the Yanzhou Army are friends and foes, this is a fact that cannot be changed......" Du Ji's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Ji a little anxiously.
Xu Jiha said with a smile: "General Han Hao has a clear distinction between public and private, I naturally appreciate it very much, but General Han Hao is afraid that I have made a mistake, that is, our two armies are at war, and they have only become enemies because of their own positions, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, and the general's so-called hatred with our Yanzhou army is based on the rumor that Mr. Du Qi was killed by our Yanzhou army." Now that Mr. Du Ji is safe and sound, what kind of hatred is there between us? General Han Hao, are you right? Han Hao was stunned when he heard this, and knew that the other party was reasonable.
Du Yi snorted coldly on the side: "If we want revenge, the first person we want to find is Zhang Yan's despicable villain." Today's incident is caused by him! ”
Han Hao then remembered Zhang Yan's matter, and a nameless fire surged up in his heart, and his heart was even more suspicious, he didn't understand why Zhang Yan, a subordinate who was usually loyal to him, would suddenly kill him. It also caused countless casualties in his army, and he raised questions to Du Ji at the moment. Du Ji told Han Hao the cause and effect of the matter, and Han Hao knew the truth of the matter. couldn't help but hate Zhang Yan even more, and snorted coldly; "It turns out that this Zhang Yan is a member of the Zhang family, and he has long been ill-intentioned towards me Han Hao!"
Xu Ji said on the side: "If it weren't for Mr. Wang Yi to find out the truth, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark!" ”
Han Hao nodded, suddenly remembered something, raised his head, looked at Xu Ji and said, "In this way, those few personal soldiers who went to find Zhang Yan were not Zhang Sheng's people, but the Yanzhou army's strategy?!" ”
Xu Ji didn't expect Han Hao's mind to be so agile. couldn't help but be stunned, nodded slightly, in fact, this matter is not so easy to guess, and said indifferently at the moment: "Han Hao, you really have two hands, and you know that the Tao is our strategy from the fact that my Yanzhou army has ambushes here, but, Han Hao, if it weren't for our strategy, where would you have killed so many good brothers." Don't you hate my Yanzhou Army? ”
Han Hao shook his head and said, "How can this matter be blamed on the head of the Yanzhou Army?" It can be seen that the original intention of the Yanzhou army was to lure me across the river and then persuade me to surrender, but our warships sank one after another. This is obviously a good thing done by Zhang Yan's dog thief, what does it have to do with the Yanzhou army? After a pause, he said: "The only sad thing for me is that Wang Kuang can't see that I, a subordinate who has followed him for many years, is loyal to him, but will believe a few so-called Zhang Sheng's personal soldiers who met for the first time." My Han Hao's heart is light. ”
Xu Ji was very appreciative of Han Hao's agile thinking, and only such a mind could protect Cao Cao's army in history. Such rewards and punishments are clearly a good candidate for law enforcement officers in the army.
Zhou Cang said on the side: "There is one thing I have never understood, since Zhang Yan wants to put General Han Hao to death. Then why don't you keep chasing after you so that you can confirm if General Han Hao is really dead? ”
Xu Ji smiled: "The crux of the problem lies in this, do you have the guts?" Does Wang Kuang have that vision? Since Zhang Yan and Wang Kuang were already preparing to calculate General Han Hao in the middle of the river, Zhang Yan would never dare to come to the other side of the river. The battle of looting grain and grass has already made him frightened, how can he dare to cross the river to see? Who knows if there are ambushes in this Yanzhou camp. What's more, Zhang Yan is a member of the Zhang family, so what Zhang Yan, who has fallen into our strategy, is most concerned about is when his brother will break through and occupy Wenxi City. General Han Hao's life and death are no longer in his heart. But that's fine, it's just convenient for us to make the next step" Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Zhou Cang suddenly realized.
Han Hao thought about another thing, he looked at Xu Ji and said, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Could it be that you are the Gao Shun Gaozi and the general in the Yanzhou army? ”
Xu Ji shook his head and said word by word: "No, I am Yanzhou Thorn History, Xu Ji." ”
Yanzhou Thorn Shi Xu Ji? Han Hao was stunned in an instant, where could he have imagined that he would see Xu Ji here.
After a long time, Han Hao fell to the ground and said to Xu Jigong: "Han Hao is convinced, the lord is above, please accept Han Hao's worship!" Xu Ji smiled and nodded, this Han Hao really had a vision, and it seemed that he had already known the far-reaching significance of his claim that he was fleeing outside, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight down.
I got Han Hao by myself and handed this person over to Du Ji, and the two of them joined forces to build the future Sizhou, which should be foolproof, at least during the period of clearing the troubled times, the Sizhou in the hands of these two people and the merger in the hands of Liang Xi and Xu Huang will not become their own worries, and they can be regarded as laying a foundation for their future sweep of foreign races.
However, before this, this Han Hao still has an important task.
Xu Ji turned his head to look at Zhou Cang, who was elated on the side, and said solemnly: "Zhou Cang, call Pei Yuanshao, since General Han Hao is already his own person, I think it's just right to let Han Hao punish you!" Hum! You're not done yet! Zhou Cang had no choice but to nod when he heard this, and his face was sad.
Seeing that the honest Zhou Cang was so embarrassed, the people in the big tent all smiled.
And the battle of Hedong County has finally reached the last moment.
Because of Han Hao's joining, Xu Ji thoroughly understood the situation of Wang Kuang's army. Moreover, because of Han Hao's relationship, Han Hao's remaining remnants of the army also joined the Yanzhou army, and Xu Ji directly assigned this army to Han Hao, asking Han Hao to assist Duji Hedong in the future.
At this time, Han Hao knew the ambition in Xu Ji's heart, and even more so how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, and couldn't help but feel that he was sworn to serve his life for Xu Ji's trust in him. This is undoubtedly too far from Wang Kuang's attitude towards himself.
Death for a confidant!
Therefore, Han Hao knew everything about Xu Ji's inquiry.
On the surface, Wang Kuang's army did not have much loss in Hedong County, just lost Xinjiangcheng, but in just a few days, more than 10,000 soldiers in Xinjiangcheng were absorbed, Wei Gu and Fan Xian died, Wangyi, Duji, Han Hao surrendered, Han Hao's more than 10,000 troops were absorbed by Zhoucang, and some were scattered on the way to transport grain in Wangyi, and the last 5,000 people drowned a lot in the river, and the rest were all absorbed, so calculated, the total number of 70,000 or 80,000 Wang Kuang's army has consumed more than 30,000 combat effectiveness.
Moreover, now Zhang Sheng in Pi's city is blocked, and he doesn't know anything about what happened in Wenxi City and Xinjiang City, but Zhang Yan thinks that his brother has abandoned Pi's and is rushing to Wenxi City, and the so-called Zhang Sheng's personal soldiers sent by Xu Ji are staying in Wang Kuang's Anyi City at this time, so they naturally have other uses.
If in this favorable situation, Xu Ji still can't play Wang Kuang, then follow his father's surname! (To be continued......)
