Chapter 799: Captive
The emperor was captured because Gou Xi and Gou Chun were lured deep and lost themselves in the victory, proud and conceited, and were defeated by Liu Cong's counterattack...... The letter said that he felt that the tide was over, and that he had only a few hundred horsemen around him, and finally had to surrender to Shile to save his life.
Ming Yu saw a pain in his heart, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he was full of grief, "General, he ...... So far, the ambition is so short. ”
Two years of extravagance not only damaged Gou Xi's body, but also damaged his mind, how could he surrender?
As long as he doesn't surrender, in Yanzhou, there is an emperor again, and he can form a new army with a shout, even if he can't turn defeat into victory, as long as he finds the emperor and escorts him to Yuzhou, he can make a comeback in Jiangnan, how can he surrender because of fear of death?
This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Great Jin.
Ming Yu hurriedly looked down, as soon as the Gou Xi brothers surrendered, the emperor was in difficulty, and it was almost the news of his surrender that came, and the two generals who originally belonged to Gou Xi also surrendered to Shile with a large army.
In the end, the emperor could only gather the remaining generals to hold Yuncheng, but Liu Cong's attack was rapid, and he could not hold it.
Zhao Juren was dragged by Shi Le's army of 50,000 on the Western Front, and he couldn't return to help, and when he rushed back, Liu Cong had already killed the emperor and captured the emperor and all the ministers.
Zhao Ju was also defeated, and the remaining 8,000 Zhao family troops disappeared.
Ming pre-suppressed the grief in his heart, folded the letter and looked at Zhao Hanzhang: "Your Majesty is now in the hands of Liu Cong, does the envoy want to surrender?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment with a calm face, he said, "The emperor can be changed again." "Surrender is impossible.
Ming Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Your Majesty was captured, I don't know where the prince is, except for the prince, now the clan is closer to the emperor by blood between Sima Yan and Sima Ye, King of Qin." ”
They are all descendants of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty.
Counting that Sima Yan gave birth to a total of twenty-six sons, except for a few who died young, the rest of the years have also died one after another, and the current emperor is the youngest one, in addition to him, there is also a king of Wu.
The other more than a dozen princes are all dead, and as for their descendants, there are not many who are still alive.
The Sima family is too capable of giving birth, there are too many grandchildren, she really can't remember it, and there are too many deaths in the past few years.
A lot of people died during the Eight Kings Rebellion, and two years ago Shi Le killed a batch more, and now Yuncheng has been broken, and I don't know how many escaped.
Zhao Hanzhang wrote a letter to Zhao Ming, asking him to stick to Yuzhou and find the surviving clans and ministers.
As for the emperor, if she can save it, she will save it, and if she can't save it, she will discuss it when she returns.
Zhao Hanzhang paused, and asked him to help find out the news of Zhao Zhongyu, "He is Shang Shuling, he will be around His Majesty, if you can contact him, please be sure to save his life first, and then I will find a way to replace him." ”
Zhao Hanzhang sent the letter, and when he turned around, he ordered Luoyang to attack Pingyang County with all his might, and ordered Beigong Chun to support Shangdang.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Collect all the captives as war slaves, and tell them that those who exchange military merits for good status can choose to leave the army and divide the land to cultivate; You can also stay in the army for military status, accumulate military merits and promotions, and tell them that I, Zhao Hanzhang, treat everyone equally, whether he is a Han, a Huns, a Xionghu or a Xianbei, in my place, as long as he does not violate the law I set, he is a good citizen! ”
"I, Zhao Hanzhang, am not brutal, I don't kill innocents indiscriminately, follow me, the capable can not only eat enough, but also set up a career, glorify the ancestors! The incompetent can also plow the fields and graze, and they will not die innocently! ”
Fan Ying and Zeng Yue wrote down the words and personally went to instigate and persuade the prisoners of war.
On the second day, Zhao Hanzhang spoke in front of the battle in person, and everyone's already wavering hearts swayed even more.
Among the captives, needless to say, the Han people basically surrendered as soon as Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth.
The rest were all Hu, and they were hesitant because Shi Le treated them well.
Except for some of the people who were coerced in and had to be soldiers, the rest were the Hu people who came back after he arrived in Bingzhou.
The situation of the Hu people at that time was not very good.
It is also the Sima family who has been in turmoil, and the people are having a hard time, and the Hu people are also ordinary people in the Great Jin, they migrated here, and when the Jin Dynasty was in power, the Taishou and the county order would be biased towards the Han people, and more taxes would be biased towards the Hu people and the common people of a lower status.
When encountering soldiers who cannot be paid, they will be arrested as homeless people and fugitive slaves and sold for military salaries; And when Liu Yuan's Han State was established, the Xiongnu still looked down on the Xionghu and other miscellaneous Hus, and even more wantonly bullied and oppressed them.
Therefore, Zhang Bin persuaded Shi Le to raise the banner of the Hu and then unite with the other Hu tribes, so that he could dominate one side.
Shi Le did this, since he entered the party, his position has gradually stabilized, and Liu Cong has tried to take the party away several times.
So the temptation that Zhao Hanzhang gave them only made them waver, and it was not enough to be loyal to her.
Zhao Hanzhang: "Since you have surrendered to me, you have to be loyal to me!" In the meantime, if anyone dares to rebel against me and do something sorry for me, he will be killed! ”
The captives bowed their heads silently, general, please rest assured, they are only loyal to Zhao Hanzhang physically, and they will not be loyal to her in their hearts, all for the sake of living.
Zhao Hanzhang left Tunliu County with a little arrangement and went to Lu County with the army.
She searched among the captives, found out the two ginseng futures, asked where their family members and friends were, and then asked them to follow left and right, and led them to blast open the gates of the two cities along the way, and after receiving their family and friends, Zhao Hanzhang saw that among their children, two literate teenagers were transferred to Tunliu County as officials, and two girls were selected to help Fan Ying deal with paperwork.
They also let their daughter-in-law enter the medical team, learn medical skills with the army, and help deal with wounded soldiers.
After all, it is stronger than the husband who has made military merits but is still a military slave.
The two Hu people knelt in front of Zhao Hanzhang and said with tears in their eyes that they would definitely be loyal to Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, let them go down, promoted them to be the team leader, and each person led a hundred prisoners.
As soon as the main account came out, Sun Dong and Zhihei glanced at each other, in fact, they didn't want to betray the general, but Zhao Hanzhang gave too much, and the situation is like this, if one day they are captured by the general, they will serve the general again, I believe the general will forgive them.
Zhihei muttered in a low voice: "My heart is still loyal to the general." ”
Body...... He couldn't help himself.
When attacking Lu County, Zhihei took the initiative to be the vanguard, and led people to storm Lu County, only by making meritorious contributions, he could get rid of his slave status and turn into a military member, Zhao Tingshi, oh, no, it was Zhao Hanzhang who said, if he accumulated military merits to the general, let him transfer his son to his command, and even his daughter-in-law could be transferred to his camp as a medical woman.
Soon, Zhao Hanzhang received the news that the crown prince and the king of Wu died when Liu Cong attacked Yuncheng.
