Others will be requisitioned and become members of another army. But there aren't a lot of things like that. After all, few generals dare to take advantage of the rebels so boldly, what if these people are choosing?

Therefore, once you become a captive, the consequences are often dark and even unimaginable.

But the captives fell into Zhang Chao's hands, and it was completely different.

Zhang Chao is powerful, powerful, has territory, and has a force that is many times stronger than the captives, so he is confident that he can make these captives surrender. In addition, he implemented a people-oriented policy, such as when he encouraged the people of the state to have more children, so many years have passed, and those children have also reached the age of teenagers, and they can become real soldiers in a few years, which is the foundation of his strong life.

After seeing all kinds of benefits, Zhang Chao would not kill the prisoners at will. On the contrary, these captives were used by him.

Those who are suitable for serving as soldiers are naturally retrained and then assigned to various regiments. If you are not in good health, you will be sent to Youzhou and other places in the north, where there is a large area of undeveloped area, as long as you are diligent, it is still easy to own a field, at least you don't have to worry about eating. Even if you work hard, you may even make a fortune.

Even once such a person appears, Zhang Chao will order people to publicize it vigorously, so that more people will know about it, and follow and learn from it.

Once there are more such people, the more fertile land they cultivate, the more military rations they will hand in, and they will be able to feed more troops, and this is a virtuous circle.

The captives were really used by Zhang Chao, and these policies had already spread all over the world, so that the 80,000 captives escorted by Zhang Liao were all in their own hearts, and even some of them began to re-plan their own future.

Just like the soldiers who were captured this time, most of them were Yongzhou soldiers and Yizhou soldiers.

Yongzhou has been fighting all year round, and being a soldier is just for self-protection and a mouthful of food. Now that I have the opportunity to start a new life, who doesn't yearn for it?

Yizhou is mostly mountainous, and it is very rare to want to have good land, and good land is mostly occupied by rich people and scholars, and ordinary people want to settle down and make a living, and being a soldier is a shortcut. And when new land appears in front of them, there are still many people who are willing to choose.

With this good policy in front, the 80,000 captives did not make trouble along the way, and in turn, they cooperated with Zhang Liao's 120,000 army, which made the speed of the army not slow down all the way.

In the castle lord's mansion in Sin'an Fortress.

General Gui Gui Ni asked Zhang Liao for instructions in military uniform: "General, I intend to lead 30,000 troops and 80,000 prisoners to Hangu Pass tomorrow, and reach Gucheng in a few days, and then the troops can be sent to Luoyang." ”

"Hehe, okay." Zhang Liao laughed with satisfaction.

He was originally a general among the Huns, and later surrendered to Zhang Chao, so he made a lot of military exploits, and was recommended by Zhang Liao and promoted to the post of deputy legion.

This is the same as the deputy commander of the Waterway Legion, Jiani, who has become a high-ranking person in the legion as a general. Zhang Chao also took this opportunity to explain to everyone that as long as you are willing to work hard, it doesn't matter what so-called identity and background are. If you work hard and have the ability, here I will give you a platform to give full play to your abilities.

After he became the deputy commander of the corps, he was also very grateful to Zhang Chao, especially the corps commander Zhang Liao's trust, and he did everything very carefully, which also made Zhang Liao very satisfied.

"General Chu, tomorrow you will take the first step, after arriving in Luoyang, if you have anything, you can consult General Xu Huang and Xu Shu's military division, and listen to their arrangements. I arrived with the baggage of my army. "Zhang Liao is in charge of the command of the 90,000 soldiers of the Chinese army and the rear army, and what he needs to do.

"No." After agreeing respectfully, he smiled and said, "General, then we'll see you in Luoyang City." ”

"See you in Luoyang City." Zhang Liao also said.

It's just that no one knows that this is indeed the last time the two will meet. Cao Pi listened to Sima Yi's words, and had already arranged several ambushes to the east of the new city, and was waiting for it.

Zhang Chao personally took command to capture Chang'an, which was in October 2033.

Cao Pi sent troops from Xiangcheng, Yuzhou, attacked Liang County, Xincheng, and then divided 150,000 troops into Xin'an City to set up an ambush, which was also a matter of October, but when he finished doing this, it was already the end of October to the beginning of November.

It was in the middle of November that the first heavy snow fell here.

Finding people with snow is really a good way, but Cao Pi and the others have already entered the nearby mountains and forests, so that the members of Tianyan have not noticed the slightest discomfort, which creates a favorable time and place for them to ambush Zhang Liao's army.

When he left Xin'an City with 30,000 soldiers and 80,000 prisoners and began to fall into the trap set by Cao Pi and Sima Yi, it was the beginning of December, and it was the moment when heavy snow fell in the world. The 110,000-strong army walked slowly on the official road.

Xin'an Castle leads to the mountains and forests of Hangu Pass. A scout had already reported on the discovery of Zhang Chao's army.

Unexpectedly, these scouts did not dare to get too close, so they only knew that the person who came was Zhang Chao's army, as for who led it, how many people there were, it was unknown.

"Don't you know which legion?" Cao Pi dug a temporary cave in the middle of the mountain and asked the scout leader in a loud voice.

"I don't know." The leader of the scouts said with some trepidation. It was indeed a dereliction of duty not to find out who exactly was coming. But if you think about it carefully, it's no wonder that he's afraid of being discovered. After all, once there are footprints left in the snow, it is easy to be counter-detected by the spies of Zhang Chao's army.

"I don't know, how many enemies are there?" Cao Pi also knew that the scout was embarrassed, but he didn't get too angry, but he still wanted to know more about the situation more carefully.

"This... Through the heavy snow, it can be seen that the number of enemies is extremely large, and it is estimated that the number will not be less than 100,000. The scout captain hesitated for a moment, but gave an approximate number.

Speaking of which, this figure is very close to the real situation. It was only because of the heavy snow that the scouts did not recognize the identity of the captives.

"100,000 people, that's a lot." Hearing this number, Cao Pi became a little excited, and at the same time looked at Sima Yi, who was pondering there on the side.

"Hmm." Sima Yi also nodded at this moment, showing his determination to fight.

Now the heavy snow covers the mountain, the 150,000 army is in the mountain, and the amount of food and drink consumed every day is a huge number, if you don't go to war, it won't take long, you can only go down the mountain to find food, in this way, it will be self-violent, and the so-called surprise will lose its meaning at that time, which is definitely not what Sima Yi wants to see. Although he said that the more than 100,000 people appeared in front of him, he couldn't figure out his true identity, but after all, the enemy would not be fake, even if he did, he would beat him, maybe it would be a big fish.

Seeing that Sima Yi also nodded and agreed, Cao Pi was overjoyed, he still admired and convinced himself as a strategist.

"Okay, pass on the four generals Sun Li, Chen Tai, Wang Shuang, and Han Meng." Cao Pi decided to make a move, which was to say to the soldiers around him.

Under the heavy snowfall, the distance between the front and rear of the army of 110,000 people began to grow longer and longer.

The deputy commander of the team looked at Lao Tiandao with a somewhat complaining gaze: "What is going on, it was only a light snow when I left the city yesterday, and it has become so big in more than a day, so when will I be able to get to Hangu Pass?" ”

"Deputy Commander, or we'll let the army stop and go." A regimental commander in the regiment came up with an idea.

"No, the snow is still falling, and once the army stops, there may be all kinds of problems. It must not stop, and the army must be ordered to speed up, as long as it enters the Hangu Pass, then everything will be easy. He shook his head, it was a dangerous move to stop the army under the heavy snow, and once the snow and fog were too heavy, I don't know if there would be frostbite and burial.

"No." The regimental commander received the order and immediately signaled to the messengers on the side, and then the shouts of speeding forward began to be heard among the marching ranks.

"Woooo

Soon after the order was given, with a vast snowfall, countless arrows suddenly flew out of the mountains and forests on the side of the road. The unsuspecting army of the Seventh Legion suddenly wailed one after another.

Under normal circumstances, if it was attacked like this, the army would have been in chaos a long time ago, and it would have attracted the attention of the army a long time ago. But the snow was so big that the massacres went unnoticed. By the time the Chinese army got the news that someone had set up an ambush here, and that both the soldiers of the Seventh Legion under his tent and the captives had suffered heavy losses, he had at least 50,000 soldiers and horses besieged and killed.

"How can there be enemies here?" After hearing the report of his subordinates, he still looked disbelieving.

The road they traveled had been inspected by the Tianyan Organization before, and they were saying that this was the Sili region, and it was their own territory.

"There must be captives who are taking advantage of the snow to rebel." Out of trust in the Tianyan organization, he made a wrong judgment.

It's no wonder that he can't be blamed, but since the establishment of Zhang Chao Group, the Tianyan Organization has rarely made mistakes, which makes the generals trust their situation very much, so it's no wonder that they don't believe that there are enemy troops here.

"Come, come with me and take a look, and see which captives are rebelling if they don't know whether they are alive or dead." He didn't know exactly what was going on in front of him, he just thought that a small part of the captives were rebelling against him.
