Chapter 462: Generosity
In the end, Zhang Chong still let Liu Deran and Gao Xiu go, and asked them to chase Lu Yu with an ox cart.
Liu Deran and Gao Xiugu received Lu Zhi's scriptures, and in this life, they are the heirs of the mantle like their sons, so they have to marry and keep filial piety with their little brother Lu Yu.
The above is what Zhang Chong can do from a personal point of view, and if there are more, it will not be appropriate.
In the end, Zhang Chong, under the escort of a group of rampage generals, sat on Lu Zhi's horse, quietly watching the brothers on the battlefield chase the dead and chase the north, and accept the enemy.
And the apricot yellow daxu was also brought up by Li Damu and fluttered at the top of the ridgeline.
Everywhere there was kneeling and surrendering, the Han army had already broken bones, and in the face of the pursuit of the Taishan army, in addition to surrender, surrender was surrender.
But the Han army was not really useless, and in their retreat, they still shone with loyalty and bravery.
It was Wei Jie, the captain of Changshui.
Facing the retreating subordinates, Wei Jie just rode a war horse and blocked the front of the Changshui camp.
At this time, he was covered in mud and blood, and had just crawled out of the corpses on the battlefield, he glared at these subordinates in front of him angrily, and angrily reprimanded:
"There are no deserters in my Changshui battalion. Your predecessors, my fathers, all represented the Han Dynasty under this banner to conquer the Xiongnu in the north and the Qiang slaves in the west. This banner is the honor of my Han family, and I will not allow you to defile this banner. ”
Wei Jie said and twitched a bearded military official in front of him, this person was his old subordinate, he didn't know how many battles he had fought, he was an iron-clad man.
As he pumped, he couldn't help crying:
"You're going to abandon me?"
The bearded soldier held the whip on his head, and without saying a word, he suddenly raised the ring-headed knife in his hand and shouted:
"Brothers, let's kill back. Our Changshui camp was not born from the enemy. ”
These defeated soldiers of the Changshui Battalion raised their swords one after another, and in Wei Jie's cry, they raised their canes and shouted:
"Ten thousand years of the Han family, ten thousand years of my emperor, ten thousand years of my Changshui camp."
After that, Wei Jie took the lead and rushed back to the battlefield with the Changshui Battalion officials, who were only three or four hundred people.
Even if these officials of the Changshui Battalion retreated, they never lost their blades, which was their honor.
These samurai, with carved feathers in their pockets, chose to go south alone when all the armies were north.
Because they are the Han Changshui Battalion, they are with the country.
But just as the building is about to fall, it is difficult to hold up a single tree. Tens of thousands of elites have been defeated, what use can Wei Jie and their three or four hundred knives have?
Wei Jie took the Changshui Battalion and ran for dozens of steps, but he was counterattacked by the brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.
First there was a wave of arrows, and then a wave of horseback slashing, and more than half of the Changshui camp officials were cut to the ground.
And the battalion flag that represented the honor of the Changshui Battalion finally fell into Lu Kuang's hands.
This banner that has been flying in a foreign land for four hundred years, representing the force that the Han family will be punished even if it is far away, fell into the hands of Lu Kuang.
As for Wei Jie, his arm was cut off in the first wave of charge, and he withdrew from the battlefield in a coma while holding his war horse. It wasn't until some of the retreating Western Han troops recognized this person that they rescued him.
The Changshui camp was destroyed.
There are not many people with such a fierce spirit as the Changshui Battalion, and even if there is, they have fled because the dragons have no leader and are coerced by friendly forces. And many more simply gave up resistance.
Gradually, the resistance of the battlefield became quieter and quieter.
In this process, Zhang Chong has been nailing Dian Wei and Li Damu to Daxu. Originally, Zhang Chong would also dispatch some of the rampage generals under Daxu to support the places where the resistance was fierce.
But soon, all Zhang Chong could do was watch quietly.
So, everyone quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility under the big curtain.
In the tranquility of people, time often passes very quickly.
When the camp leaders walked up the hill with joy, the sky began to dim.
Before you know it, it's dusk for this chase.
Yu Ban roughly told Zhang Chong about the results of the preliminary inventory.
First of all, Lejin seized Lu Zhi's big tent and chariot, from which he seized 10,000 catties of gold that Lu Zhi was ready to reward for meritorious service, which was a huge fortune, and it was obvious that Lu Zhi had emptied all the reserves of the Qingji Mansion.
With this gold, Zhang Chong could cast a batch of the king's reward and distribute it to the officials in this battle.
In addition to these, Zhu Lingbu also seized the heavy grain and straw of the Zhenbei Army, and nearly 100,000 livestock were placed on the back slope of the ridge, and the entire slope was stuffed to the brim.
The second big capture was a large number of war horses. There are at least 10,000 large number of war horses that Lu Zhi exchanged with the Hu people in Daibei, plus his own, what a huge group of war horses. And this time, because the Hu people wanted to curry favor with Lu Zhi, they even sold the thousands of horses that were not castrated.
With these high-quality stallions, the Taishan army can establish its own war horse ranch and realize the self-sufficiency of war horses.
In addition to these, the greatest wealth of this battle is the huge human resources of the Zhenbei Army.
Although there is no way to calculate it in detail at present, judging from the roughly reported figures of various departments, in this battle, the number of combat officers of the Zhenbei Army who surrendered alone was at least 28,000.
It can be said that after this battle, the Han family still has some small troops in the area of Bingzhou, and the troops of the entire northern Xinjiang have been swept away.
And this situation is also both advantageous and disadvantageous for the Taishan army.
At best, after this battle, the Taishan army has deservedly become the landlord of the north. After that, you only need to drive straight in, and the entire Youzhou and northern Jizhou areas can be taken into your arms.
But the downside is that the fruits of victory are likely to be seized by other careerists.
The huge strength of the Zhenbei Army did not come out of thin air, and Lu Zhi did not have the magic power to conjure such a legion. In fact, in order to form this legion, Lu Zhi drew blood from the frontier Fengsui in a posture of almost giving up the defense of northern Xinjiang.
Originally, the Zhenbei Army was stationed in Youzhou, which could also form a deterrent to foreign races. But now that the Zhenbei Army has gone south and even perished, it is inevitable that there will be a vacuum period of strength.
For example, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other forces will inevitably occupy these vacuums, and even the small country called Goguryeo will eat leopard gall to plot against Liaodong.
However, this is all a matter of the future, and after the Taishan army expands to the entire north, you will have to take your life back as much as you eat.
In addition to these officials of the Zhenbei Army, on the eastern front, Yang Mao also forced the Hejian Army to come to help.
When it was learned of the defeat of the Han army, chaos inevitably arose in the Hejian Army.
Among the three guards in northern Hebei before, Hejian was too old and cunning, and he had already left the army under the pretext of illness. Bohai guards Yang Xuan too much, seems to be upright and loyal, like a responsible person, but when he saw that the big thing had gone, he abandoned the army and left, without dragging his feet.
On the contrary, Anping Guoxiang Linghu Yu had no sense of existence before, but at this time he fulfilled his duty as a vassal.
After the Hejian soldiers and the Bohai soldiers searched for Yang Xuan, the two armies collapsed.
In particular, the Bohai soldiers are the most pity, this is an elite army with the Euphorbia as the core, which should have earned military merits on the battlefield, but now they are rushing east like defeated dogs.
It is said that the Euphorbia soldiers of Bohai County are first-class strong soldiers in the whole world. The reason why Bohai can send strong troops is because the geographical situation here is extremely poor.
The land of Yanzhao was populated as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, but what about the land of Bohai County?
It can be summed up in one sentence, that is: spring and autumn fall, the earth is impermanent; Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been said that there is no fixed name.
Because this area belongs to the saline-alkali land that retreats from the sea, it is sparsely populated and has no households since spring and autumn, and it is a wild land abandoned by the ancestors.
Naturally, this land cannot grow food, but it can do a major military thing, that is, boiling sea salt.
Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty began to implement the official camp of salt and iron, and Zhangwu in the Bohai Sea was a sea salt production area at that time. The sea salt boiled from here is continuously sent to all parts of Jizhou using the Hutuo water source.
However, after the middle of the dynasty, the policy of the salt and iron government camp changed dramatically. The government no longer had a monopoly on salt and began to open it to all private owners. You can produce and sell as long as you want, and the government only collects salt taxes from it.
However, the private salt law did not bring prosperity to the people of Bohai, but made them poorer. Soon, in order to monopolize the huge profits of the salt industry, the wealthy families of Bohai began to use various means to take advantage of the wealth, and gradually controlled all aspects of production, sales and transportation.
And ordinary people can only be reduced to the stove households of these wealthy families, driven to cook brine salt by the sea for generations.
However, this harsh environment has given rise to the martial spirit of the Bohai Sea.
Whether it was self-preservation or destroying the opponent in the salt competition, the people here began not to learn Jiaxuan, but to dance with knives and halberds, which achieved the prestige of the euphorbia.
It is said that the Bohai Euphorbia is unparalleled in the world, but who knows that behind this peerless is the blood and tears of countless stove households?
However, the more the army retreated, the more it could not stop the plagiarism of the Taishan army.
Not to mention that these people are all two roads, how can they outrun the war horses of the assault. So after a while, most of the two soldiers in Bohai and Hejian were captured.
On the contrary, it made Hu Yu calm and calm, and retreated to the east with two thousand Anping soldiers to maintain basic order.
In this era, as long as you hear a person's surname Linghu, nine out of ten are from Linyi. This is an ethnic group inherited from King Wen of Zhou, and has been a member of a noble family in all dynasties.
At this moment, at the end of the Zhongren Pavilion War, Ling Huyu's performance was worthy of a Han nobleman.
He had a group of wrestlers hold him up in the air, so that the whole army could see him.
He encouraged every Anping child with a strong voice and promised to take them home.
In the end, Ling Huyu's promise was ultimately disappointed.
In the end, he was still caught up by Yang Mao with the soldiers of the four towns.
In the face of the large strength advantage of the Taishan army, Ling Hu Yu knew that there would be no suspense about the outcome of this battle. In order to save the lives of his subordinates, Hu Yu surrendered in white.
But his invitation was for his children, not for himself.
After getting Yang Mao's permission, Ling Hu Yu was dressed in white, and he knelt between the two armies.
Later, in the weeping of Anping's soldiers, he raised a short blade in his hand and committed suicide facing the west.
The blood stained the white coat made him honor and dignity.
Ling Huyu is a native of Bingzhou, and his family is in Bingzhou, so he can't disgrace his family.
And Ling Huyu's death is the final death of the Battle of Zhongrenting.
Since he committed suicide, the 2,000 Anping soldiers also laid down their arms and chose to surrender to Yang Mao's department.
The battle of Zhongren Pavilion has no waves.
……
Blowing horns and battalions, boning Martian bears, and scorching under their commands.
At this moment, it was already late at night above the Zhongren Pavilion, but there was a bonfire in the wilderness below, and it had become a sea of meat and a sea of joy.
The Tarzan soldiers who survived the battle were showing off their trophies to each other.
The capture policy of the Taishan Army has changed to a certain extent after the establishment of the system. The original policy of returning all seizures to the public remained largely unchanged, but the seizures carried by the soldiers from the enemy army were not returned to the public and could be owned by themselves.
So the military uniforms, cloaks, scarves, and Shu embroideries of the Han army became the trophies of the Taishan soldiers. They wore the clothes of those big men, wiped their faces with the mud on the ground, and played the role of those big men who stood tall and high.
These antics often win the laughter of the robes.
But there are also some officials who know how to make a fortune in silence. These people often seized good things, such as gold, jade, fans, agate, and precious stones. Everyone knows about gold, but only those who come from good families in the Taishan Army can recognize these things.
Some sergeants did not recognize jade, agate, and gems even if they seized them from the Han soldiers, and only regarded them as stones.
It's no wonder that these bitter Taishan soldiers don't know that jade is something that is passed down to the upper nobles, and agate and gems are tributes from Nanfan to Luoyang, and then given by the emperor to the elders of these families.
Therefore, in the mutual trading between the sergeants at that time, ten gems were exchanged for a small piece of horseshoe gold.
But there are people in the Taishan army who know the goods, and they know the value of these things. So at a very low price, he got these booty from the hands of the robe.
It can be said that these people are the big winners of the night.
Aren't they foolish with the robes in front of the campfire!
It was from this moment that the gap between the rich and the poor began in the robes.
And inside the bonfire, there are the high-ranking officers of the Taishan Army. They surrounded Zhang Chong, drinking and singing.
At the end of the day, they went out to war, and there was an elbow feast where sixty-seven people were present.
And now, it's still here, only six hours later, and there are fifty-three people who are still here. Eight of them had been wrapped in military flags and placed in the middle, while the other six were being treated in a military tent on the side because of their injuries.
That's what changed in those six hours, and that's the price of this great victory.
The generals of the Taishan Army have long looked down on life and death, so although the corpse of the robe is placed in the middle, it still does not affect their heroic singing.
The generous and singing character background of the Taishan people who regard death as home is undoubtedly displayed at this moment.
But at this time, a team of people with white armbands entered with a stretcher.
Seeing the people on the stretcher, everyone present was silent.
