Chapter 478 Zhang Xiutou Cheng

"I'm convinced!"

Wen Han smiled as he wished, turned around and shouted at the same time.

"From today on, Zhang Xiu is the lieutenant of our army!"

Zhang Xiu's body trembled slightly. He looked at Wen Han's back, with a strange color in his eyes. Originally, he thought that he had just insulted Wen Han. Even if he voted, he could be a lieutenant under his command and could not be reused. Unexpectedly, Wen Han gave him a heavy position as a lieutenant, which made Zhang Xiu's heart seem to have overturned the Baiwei bottle, and he didn't know what it was in his heart.

When Wen Han passed by Xilong, Xilong smiled and whispered in Wen Han's ear.

"Congratulations, lord, another general, another fierce general!"

"Hu Cheer is indeed a rare fierce general. As for that embroidery, if he is loyal, he is a general. If he is still arrogant, it is just a scourge."

Wen Han turned his head and took a secret look at Zhang Xiu. After an inexplicable smile, he walked into the tent. After Xilong followed closely, when Wen Han finished sitting down, he asked.

"How to deal with this more than 3,000 prisoners, my lord?"

"Separate half to make up for each department. The rest are all received by Zhang Xiu.

The play frowned and said again.

"Do you need to move your hands?"

"No need, it's OK to promote a few lieutenants and move them into their army."

"Master, this embroidery is a new investment. And this person's temperament."

"It's true that he has surrendered. There is no doubt that people don't use it. That's why I have such a temperament that I have to trust him so much to win his loyalty. Different people should use different methods.

"In this way, Zhi understands."

"Okay, you go out and arrange it."

Xilong bowed his hand and left. After walking out of the tent, he began to arrange Wen Han's instructions. At this point, Wenhan's army has collected 13,000 soldiers, with a total strength of more than 37,000, nearly 40,000. ( Among them, the 30,000 elite soldiers Wen Han originally brought from Hedong lost more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the Battle of Chang'an, and more than 3,000 soldiers and horses were damaged in the previous battle with Zhang Xiu)

Later, Zhang Xiu learned that Wen Han asked him to lead an army with a strength of 8,000, and almost all the soldiers under his command were his old soldiers, and Wen Han did not do anything to this soldier, but changed a few lieutenants and tooth generals. This makes Zhang Xiu admire Wen Han. There are very few people who can have this kind of capacity in troubled times.

A few days after the end of the war, the soldiers and horses were all rectified. Zhang Xiu voluntarily proposed to persuade the defenders of Niyang for Wen Han to offer Niyang City. Wen Han was overjoyed. First, he let Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun lead the army to drive to Niyang City. The defenders in Niyang City were originally under the command of Zhang Xiu. He heard that Zhang Xiu had voted for Wen Han, but after a while of surprise, he did not struggle much. After all, there were only more than 2,000 defenders in Niyang City, and even Zhang Xiu could not defeat Wen Han. How dare you defend Niyang City, which has only 2,000 troops? At this moment, the general ordered the soldiers to open the gate and let Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun enter the city. Enter

After the city, Zhang Xiu volunteered to leave the soldiers and horses behind and led a team of people to report to Wen Han alone. Zhao Yun also understood Zhang Xiu's intention. In fact, before he came, Xi Long also specially ordered Zhao Yun to pay attention to Zhang Xiu to see if he really came to vote. If he intended to move Zhao Yun after leading the army into the city, it means that he did not get rid of his evil intentions. If he voluntarily left the soldiers and horses and returned to the camp to report, it proved that he was really dedicated to Wen Han. Under the command.

Zhang Xiu's horse roared out of the city gate. Zhao Yun silently looked at his departing back, with a look of relief on his face.

"Big brother, if you can fight side by side in the future, you and my brothers will be invincible. This is what Yun had been looking forward to when he was young!"

Zhang Xiu led the army to the camp and reported the news of Niyang City to Wen Han. Of course, as early as Wen Han expected, Wen Han immediately ordered all the people to withdraw from the camp and rush to Niyang City.

Wen Han's army entered the city one after another. The atmosphere in Niyang City was strange. Few people went out of the house. Some bold men watched from afar, with a mixed look in their eyes, and there was helplessness and resentment. For these people like them, they were involuntarily living in troubled times. I thought that when Zhang Xiu came back, it would bring stability to Niyang. But what I didn't expect was that their Northern Gun King was defeated and fell under the command of Wen Han.

For the people of Niyang, Wen Han is of course not as kind as Zhang Xiu from the north. After all, this is the hometown of Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu will naturally treat the people in the north. As for Wen Han, an outsider, what kind of storm will happen in the north? The people have not yet known, so it is inevitable that there will be anxiety and uneasiness.

After Wen Han entered Niyang City, he strictly ordered his sergeants not to disturb the people. At the same time, he also asked Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer to appease the people in the city. On the other hand, under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, Wen Han and Niyang's rich families met, hoping that they could contribute to appeasing the people. These rich families are famous in Niyang. If they get their mutual Help, Niyang will soon become stable. And these rich people have always put the interests of the family first. Unexpectedly, Wen Han has become the owner of the north, which has become a fore. They sell well, so as to win the favor of Wen Han and stabilize the interests of their own family.

With the help of Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and major rich families, Niyang's resistance to Wen Han gradually weakened. In addition, Wen Han's soldiers and horses did not disturb the people, and the people's uneasiness gradually disappeared, and they began to accept the fact that Wen Han was the master of Niyang City. Niyang is a county in the north, and 80% of the rich families in the north are concentrated here, so as long as the situation in Niyang is stable, it is not a big deal to recover other cities and counties in the north. Regarding the recovery of other cities and counties in the north, Wen Han handed it over to Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu. As for him, he sent several scouts to inquire about Feng Yi's battle situation while preparing for the war in Niyang.

If you want to talk about Feng Yi's war, you have to start from half a month ago.

However, it was said that Li Cui wanted to release Li Ru, who was imprisoned, in order to cope with Feng Yi's coming war. Li Ru was disheartened by Li and refused. After Xu Rong's repeated persuasion, Li Ru still insisted on doing so, and Xu Rong was also helpless about this, so he had to repay Li Xu, saying that Li Ru was infected with cold and was sick in bed. Li urged him to listen, but he just sneered and did not expose Xu Rong's lies.

Later, Lv Bu's army arrived. At that time, Li Cui had gathered 50,000 troops in Linjin, Fengyi County. First, in the Gaoyang Mountains outside Linjin City, Xu Rong led 20,000 soldiers and Lv Bu's army fought twice, restraining Lv Bu's army, buying time for Linjin, rushing to build the barn city, digging deep ditches and high barriers and other defensive measures.

Xu Rong was the most military general under Dong Zhuo's command in the past. In both wars, he formed a defensive array to respond to the enemy. Although there were peerless fierce generals such as Lv Bu and Zhang Liao in the Lv army, they still could not break through Xu Rong's defensive array. In the two wars, both sides were deadlocked and each lost soldiers and horses. After that, Xu Rong insisted on delaying Lv Bu's army for ten days and received a secret report from Linjin. Knowing that Linjin's defensive measures had been completed, he withdrew at night and returned to Linjin.

In the process of withdrawing troops, Xu Rong was afraid that Lv Bu's army would come to chase him. In the Gaoyang Mountains, he set up two ambush, but they were all seen through by Chen Gongtai, Lv Bu's military division. He ordered the soldiers and horses to surround and kill Xu Rong's two ambush troops, and annihilated about 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers. However, despite this, Xu Rong's army was able to successfully withdraw and return to Linjin. After rushing out of the Gaoyang Mountains, Lv Jun camped ten miles away from Linjin to prepare for the battle against Linjin.

After Xu Rong returned to Linjin City, he rushed to Li Ru's house after reporting all the war reports. In Li Ru's mansion, there are Li's soldiers and horses around, monitoring Li Ru's every move. After entering Li Ru's mansion, Xu Rong came to Li Ru's house, drank back the soldiers who were guarding, and then came into the room to see Li Ru.

"General Xu, don't say more. Li urges this man to be narrow-minded and stubborn. I have served him loyally, but he treats me like this. I have died for this person, and I will never do anything for him again!"

Li Ru was sitting quietly with his eyes closed. Although he did not open his eyes, he knew who was coming when he heard the familiar and steady footsteps.

"Military division, do you know that the criminal force is the thief Lv Fengxian!"

For Li Ru, the three words Lv Fengxian have a special meaning. Li Ru opened his eyes for a moment, and all the cold light in his eyes burst out!

"Lv!! Feng!! First!!! Xu Rong, why didn't you tell me earlier!!!"

Xu Rong was suddenly shouted by Li Ru and was very wronged. He secretly said that when he came to invite Li Ru, he had little opportunity to open his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was coldly strangled by Li Ru. What's more, the soldiers and horses of Wen Han and Lv Bu were attacking at that time. Xu Rong did not know who would attack Feng Yi.

However, Xu Rong didn't want to be more entangled in such trivial matters. After restraining his look, he hurriedly said.

"Military division, the enemy is in the present. I hope that the military division will put down his preconceived view of Li Zhiran and help him to avenge Dong Xiangguo's tragic death!"

Li Ru seemed to have a rolling black light in his eyes, and he stood up in a moment. Everything in his life can be said to have been destroyed by Lv Bu, and his hatred went straight into the bone marrow and blood. Li Ru wants to eat his flesh and blood and peel his muscles and bones all the time!

"As long as you can kill Lv Fengxian! There is any stigma and humiliation that can't be put down! Xu Rong, what's the current situation?"

"Lv Bu's soldiers and horses are now settling up a village ten miles away from Linjin City. After rectifying the soldiers and horses, they will attack the city in a few days!"

"How many soldiers and horses did Lv Bu's thieves bring, and what about the garrison in the city?"

"Lv Bu brought 30,000 thief soldiers. Half a month ago, the last general led several battles with him in Gaoyang Mountain, each with injuries. At present, there are about 28,000 soldiers in his army. As for the defense in the city, Lin Jin has created a barn city to defend the enemy. There are deep trenches and high bases under the city, and arrows, rolling stones, round wood and other defensive objects are all complete. If Lv Bu wants to attack, we will be able to give him a head-on blow!"

"Good! Li Zhiran has not lost his mind yet. It is very appropriate to arrange it like this.

Li Ru nodded slightly. After painging for a few steps, he fell into silence and asked again after a while.
