Chapter 322 Wei Yan, Gao Shun's decision(1/2)
"Three generals, the lord has an order to retreat to the Baili Stone!"
Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who were fighting with the Ya'er Army in the area north of Bailishi, received an order from Zhang Hua to retreat to Bailishi and consolidate the results of the battle.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Zhang Xutuo knew that Li Cunxu, Li Cunshen, Zhou Dewei and other generals of the Chou Er army were not easy to provoke. They were in charge of special troops such as the Chou Er army, the Tielin Army, the Yinqijie Army, and the Yinqijie Army. Zhang Xutuo had little chance of winning, so Zhang Xutuo followed Zhang Hua's order to retreat to Bailishi.
The fierce general Luo Shixin is fighting fiercely with Li Cunxu's escort Xia Luqi. Both of them are masters of gun skills, and hundreds of gun shadows stabbed out, which is dazzling.
Luo Shixin's Luo Family Spear and Xia Luqi's Northern Ba Liuhe Spear are both the most powerful gunshot techniques in ancient China. The two of them fought fiercely and were incomparable.
"Fight again next time!"
Luo Shixin heard Zhang Xutuo Mingjin's withdrawal of his troops and decisively separated from Xia Luqi.
The orders were prohibited, and Luo Shixin, as Zhang Xutuo's deputy general, absolutely obeyed Zhang Xutuo's orders.
"Luo Shixin, a good general, but unfortunately, we are the enemy."
Shaluqi put away his gun and did not chase him.
The Crow Army is already at the end of its strength and can no longer be defeated.
Even if Zhang Xutuo temporarily withdraws his troops and withdraws the Baili Shishi, it is because Zhang Hua needs time to stabilize the situation.
Once Zhang Hua recruited the coalition forces of the princes and headed north again, the Ya'er army had to retreat.
Li Cunxiao's beheading plan failed, and the Ya'er Army had to retreat.
The Thirteenth Grandmaster Li Cunxiao joined forces with the second Grandmaster Li Sizhao, the third Grandmaster Li Cunxu, the ninth Grandmaster Li Cunshen, and the black-faced general Zhou Dewei and other military generals. They looked a little embarrassed.
Several Taibao looked at each other and showed surprise. They rarely saw Li Cunxiao suffer losses.
Li Cunshen asked tentatively: "What is the result?"
“Failed.”
"It seems that I can only give up Chuzhou."
Li Cunxu's ability to use troops was first-class among the emperors. At this time, he resolutely chose a hero to cut off his arm.
The Ya'er Army began to retreat in the direction of Taiyuan City, looting people, food and grass along the way, and making up for the losses as much as possible.
At the same time, Zhang Hua seized the time to recruit the coalition forces of the princes.
Whether it is the Xia army or the Ya'er army, the first thing they consider after winning is to swallow the fat piece of the coalition of the princes.
This is hundreds of thousands of young and strong, and it is also an excellent source of troops.
Although Huang Chao and Fan Chong died, they still left almost 300,000 refugees.
These refugees saw that the Xia army had achieved a final victory. After Huang Chao and Fan Chong's two peasant uprising leaders were killed by the Ya'er army, they all defected to the Xia army.
A general of the Huang Chao army came out to preside over the situation: "Huang Hao is Huang Chao's nephew, and is willing to lead the rogue army and all the troops to serve Ming Gong!"
Huang Hao?
Isn’t this the eunuch favored by the later lord Liu Chan?
Jiang Wei is a mortal enemy of this person.
Huang Chao's nephew saw Zhang Hua's doubts and said awkwardly: "I and Huang Hao from Shu Han are just the same name and surname, but I am different from him."
"You call your cavalry a rogue?"
"That's right! The rogue army originally had seven thousand cavalry, but now there are only two thousand."
"Yes, you will be my general in the future. But you must obey the orders of everything you do, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Seeing that the number of refugees surrendered by Huang Chao's forces, Zhang Hua took a lot of time to digest Huang Chao and Fan Chong's subordinates.
Just in time, Huang Chao's nephew, Huang Hao, can replace Huang Chao and soothe people's hearts.
What surprised Zhang Hua was that Huang Hao actually had a special cavalry - the "Royal Army".
The Huang Chao Uprising Army and the Red Eyebrow Uprising Army have a large number of soldiers, and there are also many third and fourth-rate generals, so some generals with special troops will inevitably appear.
However, Huang Hao's rogue army can only tell that it is a special cavalry that is slightly stronger than ordinary troops, and its actual combat effectiveness may be average.
"Xinling Jun, what are your plans next?"
Zhang Hua recruited two peasant uprising troops, and his strength increased greatly, and he looked at Xinlingjun again.
Xinlingjun and Xia army repelled the Raven Army, and it can also be believed that Zhang Hua helped him take revenge.
It depends on how Xinlingjun decides.
"I am a minister and should go back and report to the king and make a decision. But I will convince the king not to fight against the trapped beasts."
Xinling Jun was a little helpless and sighed deeply.
The eighteen town princes scattered across the Taihang Mountains completely collapsed due to several consecutive battles.
Murong Lin and Liu Zhiyuan surrendered to the Ya'er Army and retreated with the Ya'er Army.
Other princes died or surrendered, and fell apart.
Wei Wenhou's territory still has 20,000 Wei troops, but no matter what, Wei Wenhou's troops are not enough to resist the main force of the Xia army after winning.
Xinling Jun would return to Wei Wenhou’s territory and persuade Wei Wenhou not to do stupid things.
"I'm sorry, Xinlingjun."
Zhang Hua had just experienced an unprecedented tragic battle in Changping. If he could annex the power of Wei Wenhou without bloodshed, he would naturally be unable to seek it.
Wei Wenhou still has many civil officials and generals. After all, Wei Wenhou, Lu Bu, and Zhang Xutuo were once the most powerful princes in the Taihang Mountains.
In addition, Wei Wenhou still valued Wu Qi's overlord of the Warring States Period. Later, Wei Wenhou's son Wei Wuhou listened to the slander and drove Wu Qi away.
According to Zhang Hua's information, Wu Qi was not working under Wei Wenhou.
Otherwise, Wei Wenhou would have long wiped out all the princes of the Taihang Mountains, and it would not be the turn of Liu Xiu, Zhang Hua and Li Ke to use the three major forces to fight openly and secretly, and to seize the robbery.
Xinling Jun said: "If the young master trusts me, I can return to the territory alone to lobby the king. As for my troops and horses here as hostages, I will definitely return."
"The Wei army has fought for more than a month, and the soldiers are eager to be family. You should take the soldiers back to the territory. I believe in you."
Zhang Hua did not doubt the use of people, but did not doubt it. He was very concerned about Xinlingjun. Not only did he let Xinlingjun and his disciples go back, but he also released all the 10,000 surviving Wei troops.
Xinling Jun was stunned, then bowed and thanked: "Young Master is righteous, I will definitely live up to my expectations."
Zhang Hua watched Xinlingjun, Leyang, Zhu Hai and other generals of the Wei Kingdom leave.
Since you want to gain the trust of Xinlingjun, you have to do things in a way that is sluggish, which is not Zhang Hua's style.
"The lord's move is very clever."
Wang Shouren, Xie Ai and other military advisors could not help but appreciate Zhang Hua's courage.
"Wen Chang, if you want to leave, I will let you go."
Zhang Hua glanced at Wei Yan from the end of the day.
Wei Yan brought 30,000 troops to the alliance, and fought to the point where only more than 3,000 people were left, which could be said to be at the end of his strength.
Wei Yan's territory still had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but Wei Yan knew that 13,000 soldiers and horses were just a mantis chariot in front of Zhang Hua's 100,000 Xia army and 300,000 refugees, so Wei Yan simply stayed on the battlefield of Changping.
The person in front of me is the son of luck who cannot even kill even the Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao.
Wei Yan said in a muffled voice: "The princes in each town are fighting here, and they are losing their troops and losing their generals. You are already unstoppable. What is the difference between me and not leaving?"
Zhang Hua's eyes lit up, and there was a chance to recruit Wei Yan.
Zhang Hua never doubted Liu Bei's ability to recognize people.
Liu Bei replaced Zhang Fei with Wei Yan and guarded Hanzhong, which shows that Wei Yan has this ability.
Wei Yan understood that whether he could not stop Zhang Hua's army from returning to his territory.
The princes in each town were defeated by the Xia army and the Ya'er army in the Battle of Changping, and the remaining remaining soldiers were not worth worrying about.
"It seems that Wen Zhang has decided to serve me. From now on, you can still lead the army alone and fight with me in the Central Plains."
Zhang Hua accepted Wei Yan.
Although Wei Yan is arrogant, he is brave in fighting. From the fact that Wei Yan brought his troops and horses, one out of ten, it can be seen that Wei Yan is still a bloody general.
Wei Yan remained silent, and he was considered a default.
Suddenly, Wei Yan spoke again: "But I won't join forces with Wang Ping, Liao Hua and others."
"I will consider this."
The conditions proposed by Wei Yan were not harsh. It seemed that Wei Yan still had a knot in his heart.
I don’t know what happened to Wei Yan when he met Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Yang Yi and others later.
These things are not within Zhang Hua's consideration for the time being.
Zhang Hua counted, the eighteen towns of the Taihang Mountains, Murong Lin, Liu Zhiyuan surrendered to the Ya'er Army, Sima Yue escaped, Zhang Liang, Zhang Xutuo, Wei Yan, Tian Heng surrendered, Wei Wenhou most of the marquis were to surrender, Lu Bu's whereabouts were unknown, Yelu Deguang was captured alive, Huang Chao and Fan Chong died in battle...
In this way, there will be twelve vassals in the throne.
There are also six unknown princes in the towns, three princes in the towns were killed, two princes surrendered, and one prince fled.
To be continued...
