Chapter 803 Offering Prisoners
Taishan's army fought continuously after crossing the river and going south, so there were no big strongholds, just scattered wooden strongholds built by each battalion.
Because the rain was about to get heavy, Zhang Chong ordered the injured officials to be transported to the camp first. Their wounds must not be exposed to the rain.
Then, after all the wounded on the battlefield were transferred, Zhang Chong began to lead the collision team and armored cavalry back to the camp.
You still have the rain starting to fall heavily.
After a while, Zhang Chong returned to the camp. The interior was very simple and could be used as a shelter from the rain.
Zhang Chong sat on the horse and issued the first military order:
"Cook now, haha!"
After saying that, he added:
"Slaughter all the cattle and sheep that Adan sent into the camp, and let the brothers eat openly."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chong smiled at Zhang Dan who was waiting next to him:
"Adan, this batch of military supplies you sent has really solved an urgent need. Don't you know that before the war, those military quartermasters bought up all the meat near the capital. If you hadn't sent this batch, This reward banquet can’t even be held.”
Zhang Dan did not dare to take credit, so he humbly said:
"This is all the credit of Li Changshi."
Zhang Chong shook his head, and then asked Zhang Dan about the situation along the way and the previous security situation in Hanoi.
Zhang Dan answered everything, especially for the former, and had no complaints.
Zhang Chong had previously ordered him to lead thousands of people southward with a military order, traveling hundreds of miles and tiring all the way, but he had not made any achievements when he arrived at the Yiluo battlefield.
After all, by the time they catch up, the overall situation of the battlefield has been determined, and they are here just to be used as a reserve army.
After chatting with Zhang Dan again, Zhang Chong added to the collision team:
"Transmit military orders to all armies. Today's capture of prisoners will be for now. All armies return to camp to rest and do not get sick from the rain. In addition, let the logistics spread some more mutton fat cakes. It will be delicious to eat with barbecue."< br>
The next officer of the collision team was a handsome young man who had not been with Zhang Chong for too long.
At this moment, following King Zhang's orders, he is so approachable and affable, and his care for the brothers can really be seen from these details.
He is indeed our King Zhang.
Soon, smoke started to burn outside, and the firewood in the camp was enough for everyone to have a delicious meal.
At this moment, the generals on both sides of the corridor began to prepare to offer tribute to Zhang Chong.
At this time, Zhang Chong had already taken off his mirror armor and changed into a light gauze dress.
He sat upright on the horse, not angry but powerful, waiting for the generals to meet.
The first person to come in to congratulate was Zhang Nan, the Gong Shengjun army.
Zhang Nan had a big belly and sweat on his forehead. Several young generals behind him were each holding a wooden box.
As soon as he came in, he bowed down and congratulated Zhang Chong:
"Your Majesty, we give you a gift."
Zhang Chong glanced at the wooden boxes and the flags carried by the young generals, and guessed that Anan had gained a lot, so he smiled even brighter.
Instead of sitting on the horse, he directly hit Zhang Nan on the shoulder and joked:
"Are you giving me a gift? You are going to give me a big slap! Okay, tell me about the heads of thieves you have obtained."
Zhang Nan smiled shyly and said with a little humility:
"No, no, just some unknown people."
Then, before Zhang Chong rolled his eyes, he started pointing at a box behind him and said:
"Your Majesty, this is an important general under the former guard Zhang He, and he is very favored."
After saying that, he was about to open the box for Zhang Chong to check, but Zhang Chong waved his hand and said no, and asked him to continue talking.
It's just that the man named Man Chong that Zhang Dang just mentioned seemed to have been heard of in his previous life. He seemed to be an important minister of the Wei State and could be remembered by him. This shows that the man named Man Chong should be a powerful character.
But unfortunately, this meeting has already passed away.
Over there, Zhang Nan continued to talk, naming several heads one after another. Good guys, some were from the enemy's front guard, and some were from Li Tong and Li Zheng's troops.
Even Li Tong's head was carefully placed at the end by Zhang Nan as the finale.
After all, Li Tong himself was also one of the marshals of Yuan Jun's fifth army.
After introducing these, Zhang Nan finally brought out his highlight, which were two military flags.
One side is Zhang He's military flag, and the other is Li Tong's military flag.
Good guy, no wonder Zhang Nan always looks reserved. Zhang Nan alone captured two of the five enemy guards. This makes everyone proud.
Sure enough, Zhang Chong hammered Zhang Nan once again. How could he say more about his satisfaction?
After that, Zhang Chong asked Zhang Nan to take a seat and let the generals behind him come in to report their merits.
Coming in behind were the generals from Zhang Nan's line, such as Guo Mo, Wei Zhou, Zhang Da, Li Wu, Xie Bi and others.
Each of these people had their own achievements, but most of them were generals and flags inferior to Zhang He and Li Tong. Only the military merits reported by Xie Bi were very special.
He did not bring any heads or military flags, but the Huang father and son.
Xie Bi recommended these two men to Zhang Chong very seriously and praised them in public as the best generals of the country and rare generals.
Zhang Chong was very moved.
He had heard before that after Xie Bi's army was defeated, he still organized the rout and took the lead in the charge when the East Route Army was in the most critical moment.
Even though he was already injured, the soldiers held on to the planks and led him into the battle.
In fact, even if Xie Bi stayed behind, no one would say anything, not even Zhang Chong would blame him. Because he has already shouldered the most difficult task, it stands to reason that he should stay behind.
But Xie Bi still led his army to die without hesitation. Zhang Chong understood what Xie Bi meant. He probably thought that his life was saved by Zhang Chong, so he did not hesitate even if he died.
But Zhang Chong never took this loyalty and bravery for granted, so he was moved by Xie Bi.
But now, Xie Bi did not take credit, but instead attracted two good generals to Zhang Chong, which made Zhang Chong even more emotional.
This is really a "big tree general".
Afterwards, Zhang Chong asked the Huangs and his son again, and especially learned that the middle-aged general in front of him was named Huang Zhong.
After he and Huang Zhong confirmed their identity and experience again, Zhang Chong was sure that the Huang Zhong in front of him was really the Shu Han Five Tiger General, the veteran general who killed Xia Houyuan at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.
Afterwards, Xie Bi told Zhang Chong how Huang and his son "abandoned the dark and turned to the light" and how they "fulfilled their duties faithfully".
This time, Zhang Chong hammered Xie Bi again.
Later, Xie Bi's grandson asked about what happened that day. Xie Bi said nothing and just told his young grandson:
"The king struck me on the shoulder three times."
I don't know how serious it is.
After all the East Route Army members had finished their interviews, the generals from the West Route Army also entered.
Just because Yu Jin, the head coach, was taking charge of the reception of Yuan Jun's camp south of Yishui, the generals under him were the first to walk in.
Among them, Duan Xiu was the one who walked in the front. He directly pulled someone in and looked at Pan Zixiong.
The person behind him was Luo Gang, who looked a little bitter.
After the two came in one after another, Duan Xiu loudly reported to Zhang Chong:
"Your Majesty, look who I caught!"
Zhang Chong didn't recognize the man, but Xun You next to him suddenly stood up and walked to the man.
Although the man in front of him tried to lower his head, Xun You still recognized him. He turned to Zhang Chong and said:
"Your Majesty, this person is Yuan Shu."
Yuan Shu?
Zhang Chong didn't have many surprises.
Yuan Shu? So be it.
He understands Yuan Shu's character, but others don't.
In this plane, with the destruction of the Yuan clan, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both fled. Since then, the two have become the twin stars of the Central Plains. One is in Nanyang, and the other is in Runan. They are both first-class heroes.
And now he has defeated Yuan Shu in one battle. If this is not a surprise, what is a surprise?
Many people even believe that as long as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are captured this time, the rest of the Central Plains will soon be able to spread the word.
Yuan Shu was very embarrassed at the moment, being watched like a giant monkey was simply a humiliation.
He glared angrily at the people on both sides, but he did not dare to look directly at Zhang Chong, who was looking up, because he still understood that Zhang Chong could decide his life or death.
Although Yuan Shu is confused, he is still afraid of death.
Zhang Chong looked Yuan Shu up and down, then smiled and said to the other side:
"Get a mat for Yuan Shu. Stop standing. It's too tall."
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't care at all about Zhang Chong's rudeness in calling his name directly, and immediately knelt on the ground obediently.
Someone brought him a mat next to him. He raised his feet a little and sat on the mat. Then he saluted Zhang Chong respectfully:
"Thank you, King Zhang."
Seeing the Yuan clan member in front of him like this in front of the king, Xun You and Tian Feng on the side couldn't help but sigh.
The situation has indeed changed. The Yuan family was so illustrious back then. Even when the two of them met the Yuan Shao brothers, they had to sit beside them and treat them respectfully.
But only a few years have passed, and Yuan and Yuan are already like a lost dog. How can this not make the elites who have always lived in the shadow of the Yuan family sigh.
Zhang Chong didn't have much emotion towards Yuan Shu in front of him. He asked lightly:
"I attacked Kyoto to punish injustice. Your two brothers' fathers and brothers were also killed by these people. I attacked them as a blood feud for you. But you are not grateful and want to join forces to attack me. Now Is there anything to say about becoming a prisoner?”
At this time, Yuan Shu was already ashamed by these words. Of course he understood what Zhang Chong meant.
That's a mockery of the two brothers' incompetence!
In order to fight for world supremacy, he even ignored family feuds, but he still lost the battle. Isn't this incompetence?
In response, Yuan Shu could only kowtow on the ground in shame and thank Zhang Chong for avenging himself.
Looking at Yuan Shu who was kowtowing in front of him, Zhang Chong stopped talking too much and waved his hand to be taken away.
Duan Xiu, who had captured Yuan Shu, was also angry at the man's cowardice. When he took Yuan Shu down, he even kicked him a few times to relieve his hatred.
In response, Yuan Shu actually cried.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Yuan Shu had a great reputation back then, so that was it?
But it was also because of Yuan Shu's performance that everyone was even more looking forward to pursuing Yuan Shao.
I really want to see how ugly Yuan Shao will be when he becomes a prisoner.
All in all, this time everyone gradually began to be shy of those heavenly beings from the Han family in the past.
All your mediocrity should be wiped away.
