Chapter 226: Hostage
Compared with the bleak rebels outside, the atmosphere in Chang'an City is now hot.
In the previous war, all the people scattered and hid, for fear that they would be affected and looted, but now it is different, and the soldiers under Guan Ping, who returned victoriously, were cheered and praised by the people in Chang'an City.
The people spontaneously brought clothes, food, and herbs to the soldiers, and cheers resounded in the sky.
After this battle, they were convinced that Chang'an could be preserved in the hands of Yunshan, and the enemy would no longer disturb their peace.
Guan Ping, who did not remove his armor, stood on a grain cart, bowed to the people around him, and shouted excitedly:
"Thank you, fathers! We finally defeated the traitors and held Chang'an.
Although the traitors did not leave, after this battle, they must have understood that if they want to attack Chang'an, what awaits them is destruction. ”
"This is the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and they are not allowed to trample on it.
No matter this time, or any time in the future, I, Yunshan, promise that I will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.
Not only that, but after that, we will drive them out of Sanfu and Chang'an, so that they will never dare to invade our hometown again and humiliate our wives and children. ”
"I promise!"
Guan Ping's speech drew bursts of cheers from the people of Chang'an.
They sang and danced as much as they enjoyed during the New Year. Even during the Chinese New Year, they did not have such joy.
Ma Teng Han has been stationed in Sanfu for many years, and the people of Chang'an have long been accustomed to being people with their tails between the swords of these thieves, pinning their hopes of survival on the mercy of the thieves.
Ma Teng gave them a little bit of the looted property, and the Hu people under his restraint could not loot to their heart's content, which was already a great grace to the people of Chang'an.
It was only today that they finally remembered that the land they lived in was once the former capital of the Han Dynasty.
Many years ago, the Han Dynasty was also constantly oppressed by the Xiongnu, and the princes of the Han Dynasty would leave their homeland and marry far away to the desert, in exchange for humiliating Huns in exchange for not going south to Kouluo.
But how can a man of a big man endure such an insult? Finally, one day, their royal division set out from Chang'an, and after years of unremitting fighting, they finally broke the backbone of Shan Yu, making the once powerful nation of the Xiongnu a vassal of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, their ancestors also sang and danced like this, sending off the expedition of the Han Dynasty and welcoming the triumph of the Han Dynasty.
Today, there is finally another Wang Shi here, they do not rob, do not rob women, a good man from Jingzhou called himself a soldier, with his solid chest and thick arms to fight off the invaders who have been abused for many years, which makes the people of Chang'an willing to do everything they can to soothe the pain of this powerful army.
Only by waging the war of the common people can we be invincible.
Guan Ping, Chen Qun, Kuai Yue, Shen Tan, and Wen Ping looked at the gratitude and joy on the faces of the people, and while they were excited, they suddenly understood why the battle of hanging the people and fighting crimes could be invincible.
Serving as a soldier under Cao Jun was an extremely hard job, and this errand had to be forcibly apportioned as conscription, so that he could barely maintain a large army that looked like a well-groomed army.
But today, the people of Chang'an all spontaneously joined the army, and some men who were not tall enough or emaciated even scolded in a hurry because they could not meet the requirements of conscription, and the wealthy families who were forced by Chen Qun to send their own sons and nephews to join the army did not even let go of this opportunity to fight for fame, let their children and grandnephews join the army, and help Yunshan scavenge more food, war horses, and armor.
Shen Tan muttered:
"I've really seen it today. I always thought that the so-called law of requisitioning grain was made up in a long article, and I also thought that there are so many farmhouses and real estate of these people, if we deliberately fight against concealment, how much can I rob? ”
"I didn't expect that they are willing to destroy their homes and relieve their difficulties now, we have tens of thousands of elite soldiers out of thin air, I don't think it's to deal with those rebels outside the city, even if it's to deal with ...... It's more than enough to deal with that. ”
Chen Qun snorted proudly:
"If someone invades your hometown, robs your money and sleeps with your woman.
And if there are people who don't care about life and death, desperately trying to rescue, will you do your best to support those who help you?"
Shen Tan smiled, although he felt that it made sense, he couldn't help but raise the bar:
"Of course I will, but there are always some people in this world who can't use common sense to speculate, what if someone is unwilling to accept our kindness, that is, they are willing to fight us outsiders with Han Sui and Ma Chao?
If you want me to say, Changwen, your method is still too risky. ”
Guan Ping smiled and said:
"It's easy, too. It is impossible for everyone in this world to have a pure heart, and it is normal to have a little selfishness, but if you are not willing to join our army, then honestly wait for the news of our victory. ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't help me, if you help the rebel army and the people, then I will borrow his head to calm the people."
The biggest advantage of defending the city is that you can continue to be supplied and cared for after the war, Guan Ping counted the wounded, and found that the casualties and ineffective soldiers were close to 4000, which was slightly smaller than the imaginary loss, and he distributed rewards according to his previous promise, and those soldiers who died in battle were also buried one by one.
That night, Guan Ping took Kuai Yue Chen Qun to the army, and convened the grassroots soldiers to discuss the gains and losses of the battle, find ways to improve, and accumulate some experience for the future operations.
Well, let's not talk about the experience first, everyone has seen the lesson.
Guan Ping's losses in the reserve team of this battle were not large, but Xiahou Ba rashly attacked and was actually taken hostage by Ma Chao.
Everyone under Guan Ping's command said that they couldn't get Xiahou Ba back, and Guan Ping could rightfully annex his army without him getting in the way.
But Guan Ping thought about it and felt that he still couldn't do such a lack of morality.
Anyway, Xiahou Ba has also made a great contribution to the defense of Chang'an, and he Cao Pi and Cao Zhi can come together, not to mention Xiahou Ba, a young but highly potential general.
Just when Guan Ping was pondering how to save Xiahou Ba, his subordinates reported that Yan Xing had entered the city to visit.
Unlike last time, this time Yan Xing only brought two entourages, pretending to be a scribe, and when he saw Guan Ping, he didn't shy away from it at all, and saluted:
"See General Guan for the small one."
Guan Ping took the initiative to reveal his identity, and did not desperately chase and kill the soldiers behind Yan Xing, obviously having a little intention of maneuvering.
Yan Xing did not reveal Guan Ping's identity to Han Sui, but made it clear when he visited, obviously preparing to talk to Guan Ping about some details that he had not had time to talk about before.
"I have already inquired into Yanming's life, and all the previous things were all helpless to follow the bandits.
Now you can also see that Han Sui and Ma Chao are not in the climate, and as soon as Cao Gong's army arrives, it will inevitably be wiped out, and he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Sanfu.
Yan Ming has the ability, if he continues to return to Liangzhou to be a thief, it will be a pity.
The general hopes that the general can break away from Han Sui's army, as for whether to join our army in the future, or whether he is willing to follow Prime Minister Cao Cheng, it depends on Yanming's choice. ”
Guan Ping was not afraid of Yan Xing revealing his identity at all.
Everyone has seen the consequences of Chen Qun's "framing" himself before, this time Yunshan is already a hero in defending Chang'an, if Yan Xing dares to report him in front of Cao Cao, there is no need for Guan Ping to do it, Cao Cao will naturally kill him to make Guan Ping's heart.
Yan Xing obviously understood this.
When he saw Guan Ping talking, he didn't shy away from Chen Qun and Kuai Yue at all, and secretly marveled at Guan Ping's infiltration of Cao Jun so deeply.
In the previous battle, no one in the Liangzhou army had participated in the looting, and Yan Xing was no exception.
Of course, what he did in the troubled times of moral collapse is nothing, but Guan Ping's penetration of Cao Jun is so deep that he can almost use Cao Jun's power to level the world, and even return to the way he was before the world chaos.
At that time, people like Yan Xing, who have no great merit, but have a major moral stain, will definitely be difficult to mix, and may even suffer the disaster of death.
It didn't take him long to make up his mind, and he sighed:
"I have heard of Uncle Liu Huang's righteousness for a long time, and I only hate fate.
General Guan is here, and he must be a big person, and he is willing to serve the general and the emperor's uncle, and help the Han family together.
It's just that I didn't bring many soldiers and horses with me this time, I just don't know, I don't know what I can do for the general. ”
"There is no need for the time being, just hide the identity of the general."
Guan Ping said, seeing a gloomy look on Yan Xing's face, he smiled again:
"Liangzhou and the Western Regions are both the homeland of the Han Dynasty, and our army wants to restore the homeland of the Han Dynasty as much as possible, I wonder if the general is willing to follow the example of the Marquis of Dingyuan and make a great event that will forever be recorded in history?"
