Chapter 371: Yuan Shao made another difficulty
Standing in the position of the main general of one side, Zhang Liao's decision was undoubtedly correct, and the defeat was the responsibility of the general, and it had nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. If he relents, most of the Jizhou soldiers will choose to return to Yecheng. The two sides will meet on the battlefield in a few days. Especially when these people have died nine times in their lives, when they appear on the walls of Yecheng as defenders, they may be more brave and tenacious than other Jizhou soldiers.
Zhang Liao is not stupid, so Zhang He can't blame Zhang Liao for being so decisive, he pondered for a while and said: "You all heard it, go back and discuss it with the people below, and wait for your decision to be made." ”
The generals left dejectedly, and soon the remaining more than 10,000 Jizhou soldiers also made their decision, and most of them chose to surrender with their generals like Zhang He. There are also more than 2,000 people who hope to stop being soldiers after surrendering today, but to be in Hanoi Tuntian.
Under the high pressure of Zhang Liao and others, it is normal for Jizhou soldiers to make such a choice, as for those who choose Tuantian, they may be tired of fighting on the battlefield and want to return to their duties as a peasant, or they may have heard about the various benefits of Wei Xuanjun's tuntian.
???????????????? In fact, it is not difficult to co-opt, because Wei Xuan has explained to Zhang Liao before, so Zhang He is still the chief general of this Jizhou army, and Gao Ran has no problem as a deputy general, but Zhang Hebu and the prisoners of Chun Yuqiong will go to Huai County for reorganization, where are there special training grounds and instructors. Nearly 20,000 people will leave 15,000 at most, which is the largest number of troops under the command of the infantry commander at present. Moreover, in the future, their defense area may be in Yongzhou or in Bingzhou, but it is certainly not Hanoi.
Tian Feng was directly invited to his camp by Zhang Liao, because Wei Xuan said that he would join the army as a front-line battlefield after returning to Shun. Next, dealing with Yuan Shao also requires a strategist like Tian Feng to plan.
Zhang He, Gao Lan, Tian Feng and others returned to the barracks to do their own things after meeting their families. The family will return to Luoyang by water. And Weitong and Gan Ning went to Neihuang, and now Neihuang still has more than 1,000 Jizhou soldiers left by Yan Liang. This position is too important to be taken as soon as possible. However, in this situation, the defenders in the Inner Yellow City will also flee in despair.
Zhang Liao escorted Zhang He and others back to Huai County. In addition to the rank of chief general and captain, other military marquis and Sima may also need to be deleted and exchanged with other departments. Military cantonment officers and training specialists should also be uniformly dispatched. Although Wei Xuan trusts Zhang He and Gao Ran, he will not absolutely trust all the generals below the rank of captain, and this process will be very complicated and cumbersome. But fortunately, the treatment in the Wei Xuan army is good, and I don't think about Yuan Shao when these Jizhou soldiers come to the Hanoi barracks and live for a few days.
Yuan Shao never dreamed that Wei Xuan, in the face of a crusade of more than 200,000 people from five sides, would gather 70,000 or 80,000 people from five departments in Hanoi. What he didn't expect was that the 50,000 Jizhou elite Chun Yuqiong that he had finally gathered was blocked in the camp and was completely annihilated, and the senior cadres ran away in advance and were half killed, although Zhang Hebu began to escape from the encirclement of Zhang Liao and others, but was soon surrounded on all sides, and then the whole army surrendered.
The 50,000 Jizhou elites disappeared, and 20,000 people were also taken. Under the elimination of one and the other, Yuan Shao panicked!
Although Yecheng had remobilized 20,000 elites from other counties, 5,000 high-ranking cadres had also entered Yecheng. But Wei Xuan on the opposite side had two cavalry and three infantry troops, plus Zhang He's surrendered Jizhou soldiers. The two sides had no fight at all when the number was about the same, and now that Wei Xuan was three or four times his own, it was impossible for Yuan Shao not to panic.
Jizhou is located in the plain, densely populated, Xunyue can still gather at least 100,000 troops, but Yuan Shao also needs to guard against the Montenegrin army, need to guard against Gongsun Zhan, once these two people attack strongly, the northwest of Koyi is also an unstable factor.
Yuan Shao used to have many younger brothers, but now only Qingzhou's own son Yuan Tan and Cao Cao, who were barely supported in Yanzhou, were able to send troops to support. Youtian Kai's containment in the plains Yuan Tan must not move, Cao Cao lost the city and lost the land himself, and just now Wei Xuan pulled his teeth from Lu Bu's mouth to defend the East County for Cao Cao, and it is absolutely impossible to send troops to deal with Wei Xuan at this time.
When everyone understood the situation, at the beginning of the meeting, Guo Tu was the first to jump out and accuse Zhang He, Tian Feng, Gao Ran and other Han Fu old people: "Lord, this battle is not the fault of the lord's plan, the fault is that Zhang He, Gao Lan, Tian Feng and others are timid and afraid of things and dare not fight???????????????? Li fled ahead of schedule, leaving General Chunyu isolated and helpless, and General Gao Gan was caught off guard. The plan asks the lord to immediately arrest Zhang He and the family members of the generals and the family members of the generals to be punished in order to deter the small crumbs. ”
Hearing that many of the generals present have changed color, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is unpredictable, and if the defeat will affect their families, then the future will not be afraid to go to the battlefield.
Fu Zhi knew that Guo Tu was taking the opportunity to personally calculate Zhang He, Tian Feng, Gao Ran, and himself and other Han Fu old people, but now that Zhang He led his troops to surrender to Wei Xuan, the news has confirmed that he does not dare to say more. can only turn his attention to the two of them who are judged and matched, although these two people are also local celebrities in Jizhou, but because Han Fu did not appear when he was in power, his status in Yuan Shaoxin is higher than that of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others.
Feng Ji stood up and said stubbornly: "Duke Ming, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Zhang Junyi and Tian Yuanhao have no chance to escape when they are besieged by Zhang Liao and 5 departments of 780,000 people and more than 20,000 cavalry, and choosing to surrender is also an expedient measure, in order to retain a useful body." Now that the battlefield between Jizhou and Wei Zhongdao is gradually expanding, it is not good for us, and the Ming Duke can send someone to discuss with Wei Zhongdao and ask him to release the captured soldiers. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned, Feng Ji's words were to clearly tell everyone present that Jizhou could not stop Wei Xuan's army, and it was time to negotiate peace with Wei Xuan. As for the family members of Zhang He and others, they can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Wei Xuan, and they should not be liquidated now. Although Yuan Shao also felt powerless, he was unwilling to talk to Wei Xuan now.
This time he contacted the five parties to crusade against Wei Xuan, the battlefield is scattered, now Wei Xuan has gathered heavy troops to deal with himself, then the strength of other battlefields will definitely be reduced, as long as he delays Wei Xuan's main force in Yecheng, then Lu Bu who attacked Chen Liu, Yuan Shu who attacked Yingchuan and Liu Biao who attacked Nanyang may seize the opportunity. As long as any other battlefield collapsed, Wei Xuan had to mobilize Hanoi's troops and horses to support. Especially when Zhang Liao came from Chen Liu'er, Lu Bu attacked Chen Liu, and Wei Xuan would definitely send Zhang Liao back to Chen Liu.
I think so, but Yuan Shao doesn't dare to specialize, and the current situation is indeed relatively passive. So he looked at Chun Yuqiong and asked, "Do you think it's time for peace talks?" Chun Yuqiong was the first to follow Yuan Shao, and unlike Bao Xin, Cao Cao and others who chose to stand on their own, he followed Yuan Shao from beginning to end, so he was absolutely trusted by Yuan Shao. But now Yuan Shao's question is making it difficult for Chun Yuqiong, psychologically speaking, he feels that the current troops in Jizhou are not at all the opponents of the five troops sent to Hebei by Wei Xuan. He is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but more than 20,000 people fought in close combat, killed and injured the other party, and killed and injured two or three thousand people before they were wiped out. This disparity in combat power can easily lead to despair. Although Yuan Shao could rely on the strong walls of Yecheng to defend it. But Wei Xuan can let more than 20,000 cavalry turn the entire Jizhou upside down.
But Chun Yuqiong is the general of the defeated army, if he directly says that it is time for peace talks, he may be mistaken for being scared by Wei Xuanjun. He didn't want to mislead the master and didn't want to lose face, it was really for embarrassment.
Under Yuan Shaona's urging gaze, Chun Yuqiong had no choice but to say: "Originally, in the land of the four battles in Jizhou, Wei Zhongdao was just one of the threats. If we do our best with Wei Zhongdao, although there is a high chance of winning, we will also lose a lot???????????????? That Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan will definitely take advantage of the weakness. ”
Chun Yuqiong said a nonsense, but it was also a fact. Yuan Shao was no longer embarrassed, and Chun Yuqiong looked at the trial: "Zhennan, what do you think?" ”
What can I say when I judge the match, there are Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong who came to the battlefield in person, and he is far inferior to Fu Zhu and Tian Feng in terms of strategy. He was a celebrity, but he was better at internal affairs. Since Yuan Shao asked, he could only rack his brains to find a way to deal with it: "Ming Gong, now the situation is not favorable to my Jizhou, when we send people to urge the other roads to quickly march troops to achieve containment and dispersal of Wei Zhongdao." ”
Still a piece of nonsense! Today's Weixuan Alliance is even looser than the original Eighteenth Route Alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo, and it is also nameless, the last time was because Dong Zhuo harmed the court, this time it was Wei Xuan who welcomed the return of the Son of Heaven from Chang'an. Last time, Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and couldn't order others, this time he was only the initiator, and he had no say in the case of the defeat in Hebei. It's very simple, now everyone's purpose is to divide one side, why listen to you Yuan Shao, you have the ability to do it.
Guo Tu was anxious when he saw that Yuan Shao was completely distracted by Feng Ji's words, and finally waited for Yuan Shao to be silent, and he was ready to repeat the old words.
At this moment, a person outside the door came in a hurry, and at a glance he knew that it was a scout sent out, and after the person came to the hall, he knelt at the door and said to Yuan Shao: "General, the military general under Wei Xuan, Gan Ning, led his troops to occupy Neihuang. ”
It was expected, but it still made people feel uncomfortable. Neihuang is very important for Wei County and Jizhou, and is the main traffic artery to control Hanoi, Wei County, Dong County, and Chenliu.
Chun Yuqiong and the other three people have all been defeated and retreated, Wei Xuan has 70,000 or 80,000 people in Wei County, not including prisoners, and taking down Neihuang, who has less than 1,000 people, is just a gesture.
But what is expected is not the same as the real loss of inner yellow again. The solemnity on everyone's faces aggravated a lot.
Wei Xuanjun's occupation of Neihuang is actually a very important signal, that is, Wei Xuan does not want to stop fighting, and Wei Xuan's dispatch of a naval general Neihuang instead of one of the other five is the best proof. Since the five divisions are all in Wei County, from now on, Wei Xuan will turn from defense to offense.
