Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to hunt down the defeated soldiers and pick up the surrendered soldiers. However, he came to Zhang Liao and Zhang He and apologized.
"Yun arrived too late, which made the two generals suffer."
Zhang Liao and Zhang He helped each other up, clasped their fists and thanked each other, "Zilong doesn't have to be like this. If the general hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen us." They each showed humility.
Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to quickly heal Zhang Liao and others, and at the same time go to treat the injured soldiers and wait for the arrival of the lord.
They also asked the soldiers to clean the battlefield and count the number of people. Two thousand people surrendered, almost a thousand people escaped, and the rest were all wiped out. And he also lost almost 800 people, plus the previous 1,000 people, which was almost the same as the Xiongnu's loss. It can be said that both sides suffered losses.
It makes Zhang Liao and the others extremely distressed. The lord has lost half of the cavalry he had saved so easily today. I feel very distressed.
In the midst of grief, Yuan Shao arrived with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He smelled a strong smell of blood from a distance. When he walked in, he saw many corpses lying on the ground, indicating that a bloody battle had taken place here.
Seeing Yuan Shao's arrival, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He stepped forward together and begged, "We have betrayed your lord's trust and lost our troops and generals. Please forgive me, lord."
When Yuan Shao saw that Zhao Yun was a little tired and Zhang Liao and Zhang He were also a little injured, he knew that the war was cruel. He hurried forward to help them up one by one and comforted them, "General, get up quickly. This is an accident and it is not your fault."
After they got up, Yuan Shao would receive news from Zhang Liao and the others, so he stopped chasing Dong Zhuo and asked Zhao Yun to gallop to support you. He followed behind, but now it seems that it is still too late.
Zhang Liao told his lord how to encounter the Xiongnu again and how to kill them. Zhao Yun reported the losses.
As a nationalist, Yuan Shao has always hated these foreigners. Non-my family, its heart must be different. After knowing that they had caused such a big loss to him, he became angry at that time. He also saw that his general was injured and almost died.
After finally accumulating so many resources, I almost returned to before liberation. I was filled with anger and wanted to vent my anger.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Liao suddenly cried and bowed to the tunnel and said, "Please my lord, please avenge the people of Yanmen and kill these beasts."
Zhang Liao cried and told everyone about the Xiongnu massacre of the city, word for word. All the generals were filled with righteous indignation and asked for orders to kill these beasts, especially Wen Chou who screamed the loudest.
It's tolerable, but it's unbearable. Yuan Shao can't bear it any longer. These trash guys deserve to be killed. Let me kill them. At that time, the soldiers were asked to surrender the Huns, gather them together, and kill them in order to avenge the Yanmen people and brothers who died, and asked Wen Chou and Zhang Liao to go down and execute them.
Wen Chou was very excited and jumped for joy. Zhang Liao was even more grateful to his lord and secretly swore in his heart that he would never betray him for the rest of his life.
The generals are all northern generals. They have seen the cruelty of war, especially the war against the barbarians. Death is not a relief. Trapping and killing is nothing, there are things more cruel than this, and no one raised any objection. Except Zhao Yun frowned, feeling a bit cruel. But when he thought of his dead brothers, he calmed down and supported the trap and killing of these barbarians.
By the time Yuan Shao arrived with his generals, Zhang Liao and Wen Chou had already dug up the enemy. Their soldiers were escorting the Huns to surrender, and they were ready to push them down and avenge their compatriots. When they saw this formation, they knew that someone was going to trap them and kill them. They were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for their lives.
Seeing Yuan Shao and others coming, the barbarians thought it was a life-saving straw, so they quickly grabbed it, knelt down and begged, "Sir, we are innocent, we were all forced, please let us go. We will do our best to repay you." "My great kindness and virtue." After saying that, he knocked on the ground so hard that he bled.
"Hmph, my lord, don't be deceived by them. They failed because of this face. After they are released, they will still follow the Hu army to kill our compatriots. I suffered several losses when I was in Bingzhou. ".
Zhang Liao saw that his lord was a little shaken, and the generals couldn't bear it and quickly exposed their disguise.
To be honest, Yuan Shao was really moved, but after hearing what Zhang Liao said, he still chose to believe it. Just harden your heart, wave your hands, and let Zhang Liao and Wen Chou deal with them as soon as possible.
Zhang Liao excitedly accepted the order and called on the sergeants to kill them. This group of barbarians saw that their old method had failed. If this gentleman had not been deceived, he would have died. His expression changed instantly, and he struggled and rushed out to see if he could escape. He even rushed towards Yuan Shao, preparing to take hostages so that he could escape. His face was ferocious, and his true colors were revealed this time.
It's a pity that Wen Chou was already prepared. He wielded his two guns and fired a few times, stabbing a few who tried to escape. Yan Liang also stepped forward to help kill more than a dozen surrendered soldiers, and they became more honest.
When Yuan Shao saw them like this, he finally saw their faces clearly, so he called all the generals to come forward and finish them off quickly.
"You shall not die well."
"Our fathers and brothers will avenge us, you just wait."
Yuan Shao was upset by the constant curses and curses, so he left here to find a quiet place to wait for the generals.
After a while, the trap and killing were all over, and Zhang Liao came to resume his life, still looking a little excited. The generals also completed their tasks and returned to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao adjusted his mood and told Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, please do me a favor and collect the bones of our soldiers and cremate them later. Count each person's name and place of origin, and then send them off one by one after they return home." Go back to your hometown and rest in peace. They came with me for the sake of righteousness and should not wander in a foreign land."
As he spoke, he felt a little sad. This emotion infected them, and they felt very heavy for a while.
"My lord is kind and virtuous, Liao obeys your orders," he said and went down to do statistics and complete this sacred task.
Yuan Shao said again, "Although the Huns have no shame, we must not be as immoral as them. Zilong, please go and bury the bodies of these barbarians together."
This made Zhao Yun admire him very much. He didn't want his lord to be so benevolent and righteous, so he naturally accepted the order and left.
"I wonder where the people of Luoyang are now?" Yuan Shao asked Zhang He.
"Tell me, my lord, the people are not far from here. I asked the sergeants to take good care of them before I came to meet General Zhang Liao," Zhang He replied.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied with Zhang He's attitude and nodded in affirmation.
After a while, Zhang Liao estimated that Zhang Liao had restrained the hero's body, so he took Zhang He and other generals, gathered the three armies, and sent them on their last journey. On the way, they met Zhao Yun, who had completed his mission.
When Zhang Liao saw his lord coming, he led his soldiers to pay homage to his lord, all grateful for his great kindness.
Yuan Shao signaled them to get up, came to the front of the martyrs, raised the prepared torch, and threw it over to activate them.
"Shao is here to see off the heroes. You have a safe journey."
"farewell"
"farewell"
"farewell"
Everyone followed the lord's voice and shouted together to send the heroes on their last journey. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn. After a long time, Yan Liang urged his lord that there was still important things to do. Yuan Shao then came to his senses and asked Zhang Liao to deal with the aftermath, while he led his generals to take the people home.
The soldiers watched Yuan Shao slowly go away, but his back became longer and longer. In an instant, a feeling of emotion rose in their hearts, and their cohesion became stronger and stronger. Following such a lord, everyone is satisfied and willing to die for the lord.
At the same time, this tradition has been preserved by Yuan Jun, and it has become a routine to send heroes home. This is also an important reason why Yuan Jun's combat effectiveness has become stronger with each war. Of course, this is a story for another day.
