After the Meng Yuan people arrived in Jiang County, Ban Zhang automatically split.
Half of the tribe went south through Shanhaiguan and sought refuge in the hinterland of Chu State. Half of them followed Zhang Youwei and Zhang Bu and surrendered to the Mongolian people smoothly.
This is an old tradition among local wealthy families, hedging their bets.
And in this way, half of Zhang's officials who stayed in Chu State would not be greatly affected.
Zhang Bu was one of the few heroes in Liaodong. He once went to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to communicate with the Mongolian Yuan warriors and learn horse fighting. Even the Mongolian Yuan Emperor Mengba had heard of his name.
Ban Bian Zhang has also been making deals with the Mongolian people.
There is a basis of trust between both parties.
Ten thousand households of Mongolian people went south and attacked the 32 counties in the five prefectures of Liaodong. One of the 10,000 households was named Duodal, a clan member of the Mongolian and Yuan royal family.
There was a Han named Jin Huanshan.
This time, Emperor Mengba of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty appointed the pro-Han acting prince as the commander-in-chief, which sent an obvious signal that he would replace the Chu State and rule the Han people as a dynasty.
The Mongolian and Yuan generals who went south this time basically all had Han names.
After entering Jiang County, Wanhu of Jinhuan Mountain took out the appointment document and seal given by Emperor Mengba and worshiped Zhang Bu as Wanhu of the Han people.
In order to express his gratitude, Zhang Bu held a banquet in his mansion to entertain Jin Huanshan and his commanders. Ten of Zhang Bu's cronies were also present.
There were two large round tables, with Han Chinese and Mongolian people sitting together, and the atmosphere was a bit unpleasant.
There is not much difference in stature between the Mongolian people and the Han people, except that the average appearance of the Mongolian people is a bit uglier, but the Mongolian people are very murderous and very proud.
They looked down upon the Han people and made no secret of it.
Sitting with the Mongolian people, the Han people were very embarrassed.
Jin Huan Shansheng has a handsome face and fair complexion. He is not tall or strong, and is of average height. Dressed as a Han, he looks like a Han prince.
It is rumored that Jin Huanshan's biological mother was a Han beauty that his father robbed from the south.
Even though he looks like this, he is actually very powerful.
I don’t know if it was because of his biological mother, but Jin Huanshan was closer to the Han people and was more polite to Zhang Bu. He first raised his glass and said: "General Zhang. This time the emperor ordered us to go south. After we succeed, we will guard the 32 counties in the five prefectures of Liaodong."
"The emperor asked us, the Ten Thousand Households, to recommend two people from each government to be Han Ten Thousand Households and lead the troops."
"General Zhang is one of the two Han people in Yingqing Prefecture, and he was personally appointed by the emperor. It is really gratifying that Jane is in the emperor's heart."
Ten thousand households of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty went south and basically controlled Liaodong, with only a few places still resisting.
These tens of thousands of households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty had to help the court select 100,000 Han soldiers to guard the five prefectures and 32 counties.
It is not only to promote Han people and win over Han people, but also to prepare for the future attack on Shanhaiguan of Chu State.
Zhang Bu was in high spirits.
Although the Zhang family is known as Banbian Zhang in Jiang County, Liaodong, in the entire Chu State, it is just a small local power. Now he has become one of ten Han households, which is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.
He was also grateful to the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties from the bottom of his heart, and he could do anything to him.
"Thank you, General, for the compliment, and thank you for the promotion, Your Majesty." Zhang Bu took a deep breath, but couldn't hide the blush on his face, and sincerely raised his glass and said.
Jin Hengshan smiled slightly, clinked glasses with Zhang Bu, and drank the glass of wine together.
The relationship between the Han captain and the Mongolian captain was not very good, but Jin Hengshan and Zhang Bu enjoyed the wine very well, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After eating and drinking, the two led everyone to the main room and sat down.
Zhang Bu and Jin Huan are on the top of the mountain, and the other thousand captains, Han and Mongolian, sit on the left and right sides, clearly distinguishable from each other.
"General Zhang. Yingqing Mansion is located in the southeast of Liaodong. The generals guarding here are terrible and haven't fought for a long time. Guard posts along the way were watched by the wind. But I heard that Wu Nian of Beishan Fort recruited refugees and refused to defend the city. Surrender. I also heard that you have a grudge against him?"
Jin Huanshan's face turned serious and he turned around and asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, General Jin. I will immediately lead my three thousand elite troops to level the Beishan Fort."
Ban Zhang's family soldiers only totaled so many. As a general of ten thousand households, he is still not worthy of his reputation, and he has to slowly recruit troops and develop.
"No need. The general's top priority is to recruit and train elite soldiers. Just send out a few guides. After all, we are outsiders and are not familiar with the terrain. I will let my captain to lead the troops in battle." Jin Huan Shan had already made up his mind and shook his head with a smile.
Zhang Bu was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to resist and could only nod in agreement.
After Jin Huanshan set the tone for this matter, he looked up at the captains under his command and said, "You must have heard about Wu Nian killing Zhu Changtian. You can't win against him in a duel." It's cheap. You must think carefully and don't fight with him easily. Whoever goes out to battle and captures Beishan Fort, the fields and mansions outside the fort belong to him."
Jin Huanshan is relatively gentle, but there is no way to benefit his subordinates in war.
Enclose the land and make the Han people slaves.
This is the routine of the Mongolian people in Liaodong. They want the Mongolian people to take deep roots in Liaodong. After one or two generations of management, they can accumulate troops and attack Shanhaiguan.
Who would object to having too much land?
The Meng Yuan commanders present were all gearing up.
"General. Please send me. I only need three days to pacify Beishan Fort, kill Wu Nian's head, and present it to the general."
"Hey, three days? Thank you for your words. I only need two days."
"What? Two days? If my troops reach Beishan Fort, we can capture the city."
The captains looked at each other with red eyes, blew their beards and glared at each other for the fields outside Beishan Fort, the houses inside the fort, and the gold and silver treasures. Han women looked at each other as if they had enemies who killed their fathers.
It was a mess and looked like a bandit's den.
But Jin Huanshan didn't take it seriously. It was this greed, desire, and never-satisfied state of war that was the root of the Meng Yuan people's invincibility.
What's the use of a group of sheep standing neatly?
A group of lions don't like each other, but they can fight to the death and are invincible.
Jin Huanshan thought he had a wonderful idea. He turned to Zhang Bu and said with a smile, "General, please ask your servants to get pens, paper, and scissors."
Zhang Bu was a little surprised and thought to himself. "What are you doing with those things?"
But he was very obedient, responded, and went down to give the order. Not long after, a female maid walked in with a trembling hand, carrying a plate, and looked at the Meng Yuan people on the side with fear.
When the Meng Yuan people saw this maidservant, their eyes shone brightly, as if they wanted to eat the maidservant.
Women, Han women are still pretty.
When they arrived in Liaodong, it was like they had arrived in the world of flowers.
Women, land, gold and silver, free and happy.
Soon after the maid left, the Meng Yuan people withdrew their eyes and started to fight again. They began to dislike each other.
Jin Huanshan didn't give in. He picked up the scissors and cut the paper into ten pieces of the same size. Nine of them were white paper, and only one had a circle drawn on it.
He stood up, looked around, picked up the ceramic vase next to him, folded the paper and put it in, then said with a smile: "Let's draw lots."
"Whoever catches them will go. The heads of Beishan Fort and Wu Nian belong to whom."
It seemed that Wu Nian was dead when he arrived.
Whoever goes wins.
