"Rebel. The current situation is only temporary. Sooner or later, I, the Great Chu, will definitely march north to Hebei and regain the capital."
Lin Qun was already exhausted, so he steeled himself and shouted loudly.
"take away."
Zhang Zhen didn't talk nonsense with him and waved his hand to be taken away by his soldiers. Then he rode his war horse and led his soldiers back to the commanding officer's office.
"Xiao Yu, listen, Lin Qun, the prefect of Yan'an, has been captured by me. The military households and soldiers of Yan'an Guard were either killed by me or controlled by me. Listen. Are there still cries of killing in the city now? I'll give you a If you don't surrender, I will lead my troops to break through your yamen and make you splash with blood every step of the way."
Zhang Zhen reined in his horse and stopped, shouting at the door.
Inside the Yamen.
Xiao Yu pricked up his ears and listened for a while, his face turned pale. There was no sound except the drums in his mansion.
The Yan'an guards, military households, and the prefect Lin Qun have all been defeated by the Han army.
I don’t know how many people there are in the Han army.
Three thousand households? Five thousand households? Or ten thousand households?
What should I do?
Xiao Yu was really irritable and couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and started pacing back and forth. And the time for a cup of tea is very fast.
Soon after, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and said: "Open the door."
"General!"
The soldiers and soldiers of Yan'an Guard either breathed a sigh of relief or showed disbelief. But no one disobeyed Xiao Yu's order and opened the door.
Xiao Yu took off his helmet and handed it to the soldiers, took off the steel knife and held it in his hand, striding towards the gate. After arriving at the door, regardless of the armor on him, he raised the steel knife above his head and knelt down, bowing and saying: "General Zhang. Xiao Yu is willing to surrender."
Zhang Zhen was a little surprised, but it was quickly replaced by joy. He turned over and dismounted, strode up, helped Xiao Yu up, and laughed and said: "General Xiao, please get up quickly. With the help of the general, why should our Han Dynasty worry about being unable to pacify northern Shaanxi?"
"When northern Shaanxi is pacified, I will recommend you to the emperor to be a general and command tens of thousands of households."
Xiao Yu forced a smile and said: "Thank you, general."
Zhang Zhen didn't care. He had just surrendered, so he must be feeling awkward.
He asked his soldiers to take away Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu's family members, entertain them, and then occupied the commander's office and began to issue orders.
First, control all the soldiers of the Yan'an Guard, remove their armor and weapons, and centrally monitor them.
The soldiers of the Han army controlled the four walls of the city, and then sent people to the village to pick up the civil servants. They would wait until tomorrow to post the peace notice and start to rule Yan'an City.
He didn't forget to send someone to tell Lu Yanxun.
Now that Yan'an has been captured, northern Shaanxi will definitely be shaken. Lu Yanxun's attack on Ping'an Guard will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After finishing all this, Zhang Zhen asked his son Chen Ping to bring hot water. After washing up, he went to the bedroom and fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
The gates of Yan'an City were not opened as usual, and no one issued an announcement of peace of mind.
The civil servants who entered the city last night organized government officials to walk through the streets and beat gongs and drums. Announce to the people of Yan'an that now you are no longer Chu people, but Han people.
The Han Dynasty occupied Yan'an.
Don't worry.
The Han army will not harm the Han people at all. The property, women, fields, and houses, whatever is yours, are still yours.
The emperor also ordered that northern Shaanxi be exempted from taxes for three years.
Once the situation stabilizes, we will begin to control the Loess Plateau.
Let the loess connect to the loess, and turn into green mountains connecting to green mountains.
It became Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.
Shanxi and northern Shaanxi are adjacent to each other, surrounded by mountains and rivers. People in northern Shaanxi have long heard about the situation in Shanxi.
We also know that the Han Dynasty governed the Loess Plateau and the Yellow River.
Another three years of tax exemption.
The actions of the civilian officials quickly calmed the hearts of the people in Yan'an City. But the civil servants were not reassured and a curfew was implemented in the city.
Control and inventory the granaries, salt warehouses, etc. in the city.
The Han army marched thousands of miles and ate the people's food and water. Of course, this is not a long-term solution, and we still need to have a solid base.
Only by controlling the entire northern Shaanxi can we support two thousand households of soldiers and use them here.
noon.
The commander is in the Yamen.
Zhang Zhen woke up, washed up, and after eating a meal that he didn't know whether it was lunch or breakfast, he sent someone to invite Xiao Yu over.
In the main room, Zhang Zhen was wearing a black brocade robe and sitting on the main seat drinking tea. His son Chen Ping stood on his left, as if he were a bodyguard.
"The guilty general pays homage to the general." Xiao Yu walked in from outside and bowed to Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen asked him to sit down without courtesy, and then took a closer look and found that his complexion was not good and he was very haggard.
Zhang Zhen didn't pay attention and said directly: "General Xiao. Lin Qun, the prefect of Yan'an, is a loyal minister, but he is also a talented person."
"The more talents like this, the better for the Han Dynasty."
"You are an official in Yan'an Mansion with him. I heard that you have a good personal relationship. I will call him in and you can help me persuade him."
"Yes." Xiao Yu's expression changed, he cheered up and bowed his hands.
"Come here. Please come in, Lin Qun, don't be rude." Zhang Zhen nodded, then raised his head and ordered.
"Yes." One of the soldiers in front of the door responded, turned around and went down.
Not long after, the soldier came in from outside with Lin Qun. The soldiers bowed and saluted Zhang Zhen, then turned and left.
Zhang Zhen looked up at Lin Qun.
His hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, his face was pale, his clothes were neat, and he looked embarrassed.
Just as Zhang Zhen was about to speak, Lin Qun glared at Xiao Yu and cursed sternly: "Traitor. It's in vain that you claim to be a hero on weekdays and say that you want to help the Chu and fight with the Han army."
"At this time, you hold the military power, but you surrender without a fight."
"As the old saying goes, gold and jade are ruined on the outside. That's you."
"What do you look like, standing before me."
Lin Qun's face was as fierce as a ghost, and he pointed at Xiao Yu with his finger, spitting and not being polite.
Zhang Zhen frowned and defended Xiao Yu: "Mr. Lin, as the old saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. There is also a saying that the general trend of the world will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time."
"The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty arose in the northeast, and the Slavs were domineering in the grasslands, competing with the Chu State for supremacy. The Chu State was weak, and the Han Dynasty was prosperous."
"Replace it. Isn't it in compliance with destiny?"
"General Xiao can abandon darkness and surrender to the light, and obey destiny. He is a true hero."
Xiao Yu also nodded and said: "Master Lin. General Zhang is right. How can a person resist the destiny of heaven? I am just a martial artist from northern Shaanxi."
"I have been promised by General Zhang to be a general of ten thousand households."
"With Master Lin's talents, he is more than enough to be a governor or governor. It is not impossible to become a minister or cabinet minister in the court."
"The future is promising, sir, please think twice."
Lin Qun sneered, clasped his hands behind his back, held his head high and said: "No matter what you say, no matter how high-sounding you are, it cannot change the fact that you are a traitor."
"I, Lin Qun, are different from you. If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
"You want me to surrender? Damn you."
