Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 803 Affair in Hanoi County

Now Zhu Wei has assembled nearly 15 troops from the Central Army Battalion in Luoyang, nearly [-] troops from the Dongzhou Army, more than [-] troops from the Jiangjiao Battalion in Ganning, more than [-] troops from the Yizhou New Army, and [-] troops from the Hanzhong Army. Ten thousand troops, the Jingzhou new army has twenty thousand troops, which can be said to be nearly [-] troops.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Wei to use all the 15 troops to attack Cao Cao.

According to Zhu Wei's military plan, Gan Ning's Jiangjiao camp will sail on the Yellow River, so as to ensure the delivery of food, grass and logistics supplies to various places, and can also support the war situation everywhere at any time. The main thing is to assist Pang Yan of the Xiongba camp. Resist the possible southward offensive of Yuan Shao's army.

As for the new army in Yizhou and Jingzhou, Zhu Wei is going to hand over to Wenpin the temporary command, with Xu Huang as the deputy general and Xu Shang as the general, and then stationed in Luoyang, there is no need for them to join the war against Cao Cao middle.

The main reason is that Zhu Wei promised Xu Huang and Xu Shang that they would not let them fight the old master Cao Cao, so keeping them in Luoyang now can be regarded as fulfilling Zhu Wei's promise.

As for the training of these new troops is not high, they can be trained in Luoyang during this period of time, so that they can be used as a supplementary source of troops for the various troops in the future.

The Jingzhou new army was originally recruited by Wang Yuyan because she was worried that Zhu Wei’s troops would be insufficient, so they were temporarily recruited and transported to Luoyang. The army was formed for a short time, and they basically didn’t have much training. As for the Yizhou new army, Liu Zhang was temporarily in Chengnan. Those who assembled to deal with Zhu Weijun, even if the young and strong were screened out and arrived in Luoyang, they were also recruits who had not been trained much.

Therefore, in Zhu Wei's military strategy, the main forces attacking Cao Cao were the [-] Chinese Army, [-] Dongzhou Army, and [-] Han Zhong Army.

Of course, the troops of Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and Zang Ba, who have now ended the war in Taishan County, Xuzhou, will also join the war against Cao Cao. In this way, with the nearly 16 troops on their side, Zhu Wei will attack Cao Cao. The total strength has also reached as many as [-].

It can be said that it is definitely enough to use these large armies to attack Cao Cao, who has only one state and one county. After all, Cao Cao has lost [-] main force elites before, and now the only ones left in Yanzhou and Yingchuan are the local garrison troops.

Therefore, when Zhu Wei attacked Cao Cao with so many troops, several places could bloom at the same time. In theory, it should not take long to calm down Cao Cao.

Under such a military strategic arrangement, Zhu Wei did not bring too many troops across the Yellow River. Now Zhu Wei is crossing the Yellow River to meet the Southern Huns, appease them and continue to work hard for him, and then he is with Ma Teng and Ma Chao. It's just about feeling in touch.

At this time, Suigu of Yewang County, who was surrounded by Ma Teng's army, was shaken after hearing that Zhang Yan had surrendered to Zhu Wei, so he finally surrendered to Kaicheng. In this way, all the forces of Yuan Shao's army in Hanoi County had been eliminated by Zhu Wei's army. .

Now Ma Teng and Sui Gu have also arrived at the original Yuan Army stronghold, preparing to receive Zhu Wei's meeting. It just so happens that Zhu Wei can also meet Ma Yunlu, the destined female general who has been staying with Ma Teng before and has not come to Zhu Wei's side.

In addition, with the annihilation of Yuan Shao's army on the north bank of the Yellow River, Chunyu Qiong, Xun Chen, Sui Yuanjin, Han Ju, and Zhao Rui were the generals left behind by Yuan Shao. Except for the death, the other three were captured.

The 1 Yuan troops left by Yuan Shao also suffered more than 1 casualties, more than [-] escaped, and nearly [-] were captured. For Zhu Wei, these prisoners were also a good harvest.

This time, Zhu Wei followed to the north bank of the Yellow River, and Hebei general Zhang He who was captured by Pang Yan outside Hulao Pass before, but Zhang He had surrendered to Zhu Wei's side and temporarily became a member of Zhu Weizhong's army camp.

Now Zhu Wei was also thinking about Jiang Chun Yuqiong and the others, so he brought Zhang He over to be a lobbyist.

At the same time, Zhu Wei also planned to hand over the captured soldiers of Yuan Shao's army to Zhang He. This would also eliminate some of the barriers between Yuan Shao's soldiers. Zhang He's original prestige in Yuan Shao's army was enough to allow these soldiers of Yuan Shao's army to surrender and accept Zhang He's control.

However, Zhu Wei still adopted a voluntary policy for these captured ordinary soldiers of Yuan Shao's army. If they were unwilling to stay and fight for Zhu Wei, they could cut off their fingers and return home to the north.

To be honest, Zhu Wei also had captured soldiers in many previous wars, but many times these soldiers would take the initiative to accept Zhu Wei's recruitment. On the contrary, Zhu Wei somewhat disliked the quality of these soldiers, so he often eliminated the superior through reorganization.

It can be said that Zhu Wei seldom used the finger-cutting method he played when he first raised his troops in Jiangdong.

Even after Han Sui was defeated in the previous battle in Guanzhong, the soldiers left by Han Sui were easily absorbed by Ma Teng, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Liao to supplement their respective sources of depleted soldiers, and the rest was left to Yan Xing.

Now that Yan Xing has returned to Luoyang, this part of the army has also become part of Zhu Wei's central army camp, and there is also no use of cutting fingers and releasing them.

However, many of the soldiers of Cao Jun and the soldiers of Yuan Jun who are currently captured by Zhu Wei still have many soldiers who hope to go home.

As a result, the soldiers of Cao Jun who were captured before were just fine. I heard that they had to cut off their right thumbs to go back. Many people stayed and accepted the reorganization. Anyway, depending on the situation, Zhu Weijun will soon fight Cao Cao. At that time, they can still go home. It is necessary to return home now that he lost his thumb, but then he watched his former companions beat him up.

But many of Yuan Jun's soldiers were captured, but many of them would rather cut off their fingers and go home.

After all, these Yuan soldiers still had some confidence in Yuan Shao, thinking that it would be difficult for Zhu Wei to go to the north in a short time, so they still had family members, old and young, waiting for them to go back in the north, and they didn't want to stay in the south from now on. Served as a soldier, so many people would rather lose their fingers and go home.

At the same time, they feel that it is acceptable to lose their fingers. In such years of military turmoil, many young and strong were conscripted into the army. Now that they have lost their fingers and become disabled, they will not be forced to return to their homes in the north. If he is called up again as a soldier, he might be able to live a peaceful life at home.

As a result, after some screening, at least two or three thousand captured Yuan Jun soldiers were released after losing their right thumbs.

But Zhu Wei easily released them back, which was naturally profitable. As these soldiers returned to their homes in the north, they would also publicize the strength of Zhu Wei's army in the local area, thus affecting the changes in people's hearts in Yuan Shao's territory in the north. This It is also an influence on public opinion.

However, ordinary Yuan Jun soldiers were easy to deal with, but the captured Chunyu Qiong, Xun Chen, and Han Ju all showed a very uncooperative attitude. Even if Zhu Wei brought Zhang He to persuade them, the three of them had no intention of surrendering...
