Zhang Rang, as the general of Yanmen County, originally had 1,300 people under his command, but now the number of these soldiers and horses has reached 3,000.

In the first battle outside Leijiabao, nearly 2,000 soldiers were captured.

At this moment, next to Zhang Rang's military camp, there is a special prisoner camp to watch and hold these two thousand prisoners.

Zhang Rang came to the barracks, and Xia Yun and Guo Sheng came out immediately.

"General!"

Zhang Rang waved his hand at the two people, asking the two of them not to be polite.

"After this battle, can someone contact us to ransom those captives?"

Hearing Zhang Rang's words, Xia Yun and Guo Sheng shook their heads.

Seeing the two shaking their heads, Zhang Rang's brows couldn't help frowning.

According to his original idea, Ouyang Jingyun lost this battle, and there are still 2,000 people in his hands, the other party will definitely not give up these two thousand elite soldiers, and will definitely find a way to get these two thousand people back.

And once Ouyang Jingyun spoke first, he took the initiative.

But he never expected Ouyang Jingyun to be so calm.

"General, this matter is actually a bit difficult to handle. ”

Xia Yun whispered to Zhang Rang, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Say, what's so difficult? Could it be that Ouyang Jingyun's two thousand people don't plan to ask for it?"

Xia Yun shook his head and explained to Zhang Rang, "General, this matter is like this. It is our fault that we dispatch troops and horses without authorization. This is the first mistake. ”

"And Ouyang Jingyun, as the commander of the soldiers and horses of Yanmen County, it is reasonable for him to send people to stop us. And we go to war with them, which is a violation of military orders. This is the second mistake. ”

"Now, we have taken 2,000 soldiers captive. If they're enemy troops, we can detain them first. But these people, like us, are all soldiers of Yanmen County, and we detained them without authorization. This is the third mistake. ”

After summing up, Xia Yun shook his head a little worriedly, "General, I'm worried! After this battle, Ouyang Jingyun will go to Yuan Shaochu, the king of Jizhou, to join you." ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he smiled faintly.

"I thought it was a big deal, but it was such a small thing. ”

Xia Yun hurriedly said: "My general! This is really not a trivial matter! If this kind of thing is blamed by the King of Jizhou, I am afraid that you will not only lose your official position, but I am afraid that you will also be punished by other punishments." ”

Zhang Rang originally just smiled faintly, but now when he heard this, he laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, it won't. By the way, in the past year, have we received military salaries, rations, and supplies for equipment and weapons?"

Xia Yun shook his head, "Originally, we could still get some of it, but now, we don't even have a little bit of it." In fact, it is the person in charge of the military quartermaster, knowing that with you to support us, there is no shortage of things, and there will be no problems. And you didn't go to them, that's why they thought we were talkative, so they didn't give them anything. ”

Zhang Rang nodded, "I see." But since I'm the general of the King of Jizhou, I can't let the King of Jizhou not give me money, so I'll always let me raise it alone. I sent someone to deliver news to a few nearby generals, saying that I had captured 2,000 prisoners on my side, all of them elite soldiers. Ask them if they want it, sell it to them if they do, and within three days, if no one comes to buy it, I'll do whatever I want. ”

"This ...... Be. ”

Although Xia Yun still wanted to persuade something, when he saw Zhang Rang's firm look, he could only give up and nodded in agreement.

And as Xia Yun sent someone to send the news over, the other generals around were all shocked when they heard this.

Because they all know that Zhang Rang offended General Ouyang, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and now he wants to sell General Ouyang's prisoners, which is simply death!

Therefore, for three days, no one was willing to buy the captives from Zhang Rang.

And as soon as the time of three days arrived, Zhang Rang immediately issued an order to kill all the elite soldiers in the past two days.

This move shocked more than a dozen generals in Yanmen County after they got the news.

Of course, Zhang Rang would not be impulsive enough to just kill people.

At the same time, he immediately sent a letter to Yuan Yongtan, as well as some sustenances similar to those given to Yuan Yixi.

It's just that Yuan Yixi's appetite is not big, so the local products sent by Zhang Rang are not very valuable.

But Yuan Yongtan is the eldest son of Yuan Shaochu, the king of Jizhou, after all, so the things sent by Zhang Rang are naturally worth a lot of money.

In the main hall of Yecheng, Lord Cen, who had impeached Zhang Rang once, stood up again.

"My king, Weichen wants to participate in Yanmen County's town guard general Zhang Rang!"

As Lord Cen spoke, many people were shocked.

Although Yuan Shaochu was named the king of Jizhou by the Han Dynasty, he was actually in charge of the territory of the four northern states.

There are dozens of counties below, and there are no dozen or twenty miscellaneous generals in which county.

These generals can be so obedient and honest anywhere, and now Lord Cen is going to participate in the performance for a small miscellaneous general, but many people are not only shocked, but also a little incomprehensible.

Yuan Shaochu glanced at the veteran minister who had followed him for many years, "Lord Cen, the following generals' affairs can be handed over to the local soldiers and horses commanders." Where do you need to bother?"

Yuan Shaochu didn't want to hear such a thing, after all, if this kind of thing needed to be handled by himself, wouldn't he be exhausted.

"My king doesn't know, this one is too much. Even the soldiers and horses of Yanmen County can't hold it down!"

Lord Cen said, took another step forward, and said loudly, "Zhang Rang this person, dispatched soldiers and horses without authorization, and was stopped by Ouyang Jingyun, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Yanmen County, but he fought with the people who commanded the envoy. and captured two thousand captives. A few days later, Zhang Rang even killed all the 2,000 captured soldiers in my Yanmen County!"

If it was just to disobey the order, Yuan Shaochu would not say anything, after all, there are disobedient subordinates from ancient times to the present.

But now, this Zhang Rang has killed 2,000 troops under his command.

Boom!

Yuan Shaochu slapped the handle of the golden dragon chair, "Damn! Extremely hateful! He dared to make a move against other Yanmen County troops, and even killed 2,000 prisoners! What is the matter with this person? His name is Zhang Rang, right? Why is this name a little familiar?"

After all, Yuan Shaochu heard so many names every day, and Zhang Rang was not a name that appeared often, so at this moment, Yuan Shaochu naturally had no impression at all.

At this time, Yuan Yongxi also stood up, "Father, I think this person must be severely punished, otherwise, how will my Yuan family govern the army in the future?

"Not bad!"

At this time, Yuan Yongtan also stood up, "Father, I think this matter must be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, if they all mobilize troops and horses without authorization, just for their own interests, won't our four northern states be in chaos! Therefore, I think that this matter must be dealt with seriously, but it is just ...... Who mobilized the troops and horses without authorization, I'm afraid this matter still needs to be investigated before we can draw conclusions!"

Hearing what the eldest son Yuan Yongtan said, Yuan Shaochu asked, "Yongtan, what do you mean by this?"
