The five hundred young soldiers are all the generals' disciples. Some of them have seen blood before, but most of them only saw it today. It was the general Lan Ji who showed them how to kill the enemy with his own hands.
The wild and domineering attacks and clean kills left a deep mark on these five hundred young men. Their blood surged in their hearts, and now they were even more convinced of Lan Ji.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Lan Ji asked people to take the ten captives for burial, and then boarded the military ordering platform in the school field.
"From the moment you were captured, you should have known your future fate. If you didn't surrender, you would have done your best. Now I plan to give you a chance to escape from slavery. That is to follow me to defend Jiangling City. After the war, you can still be incorporated into the army. Military status, and I won't let you go north to deal with Cao Cao." Lan Ji said sonorously.
The ancient ways of dealing with captives can be roughly divided into: massacre, surrender, incorporation into slavery, and repatriation to their hometown.
Among them, the reduction points are before the battle, during the battle, and after defeat and surrender. The first two can be converted into surrender and enlisted in the army. After the defeat and surrender, they will either be slaughtered and sacrificed to the flag, or they can be recruited as slaves and used as strong men to engage in construction, transportation and other physical strength in the rear. Work until death.
When Lan Ji saw that everyone was silent, he added: "I am the son of Jiaozhou Mu and later general Lan Tian, and the son-in-law of Jingzhou Mu and former general Guan Yu. The rats in Jiangdong will definitely lose in this battle. After the war, we can mobilize you to conquer Jiangdong, or arrange When I am engaged in farming in Jiaozhou, I, the general, will keep my word and keep my promise."
"I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
"I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
...
One of the prisoners took the lead, and then everyone shouted in unison, with a tone of hope and awe.
Lan Ji noticed the change in the eyes of these people, from the doubts and uneasiness when they received the arrow book, to the unruly and greedy expressions when they returned to the school grounds, to the horror and shock of the defeat and death of ten officials, and finally to the complete awe. and obedience.
His mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster. When Yu Jin saw Lan Ji in the prison car, he was so experienced in military training at a young age. In the end, he couldn't help but ask: "The young general is really powerful. I have a question, can you clarify it?"
"Oh? Please tell me, General Yu." Lan Ji and Guan Xing both looked at him doubtfully.
Yu Jin asked: "The general is very good at running the army and training troops. I wonder if he studied under General Lan or General Guan?"
Lan Ji shook his head and replied: "Gao Shun, Gao Boping, do you know General Yu?"
Yu Jin swallowed his saliva: "Could it be General Gao Shun, the commander of Lu Bu's tent and the commander of the trapped camp?"
"yes."
"No wonder he was still alive when no body was found in Xiapi..."
Lan Ji saw Yu Jin's distracted expression and thought to himself that his father and Uncle Gao had been too low-key these years to make Cao Cao's general so excited.
"Where is General Gao now? Does the trapped camp still exist?" Yu Jin continued to ask.
When Cao Jun conquered Xiapi, only 18 of the 800 trapped soldiers escaped with Gao Shun Jinchan. The rest followed Xu Shuang and were reorganized into Zhang Liao's army. Without Gao Shun's trapped camp, they lost their former glory.
Lan Ji responded with a smile: "The trapped army has expanded to ten thousand people. General Gao is naturally with my father. He should be cutting off Lu Meng's retreat now, right? So how can Jiangdong Rats win?"
Yu Jin took a breath after hearing this. Eight hundred trapped troops were terrifying enough, but how about a ten thousand trapped army? He suddenly remembered that Gao Shun was unparalleled in his loyalty, but why did he surrender to Lan Tian, who was not well-known?
"Is the young general related to Wen Hou Lu Bu?" Yu Jin thought of a possibility, because Lu Lingqi also disappeared after the war in Xiapi, and Cao Cao only found a box of letters in her boudoir.
"He is my eldest father." Lan Ji replied nonchalantly. Although Lu Bu's martial arts skills were unparalleled in the world, his reputation had always been poor. He rarely talked about it.
"No wonder...no wonder..." Yu Jin said angrily.
After solving the mystery, everything became extremely reasonable. The child in front of him was Lu Bu's grandson. No wonder his martial arts skills were so amazing. Yu Jin never dared to look down on Lan Ji again.
After completely taming the prisoners of Cao's army, Lan Ji and Guan Xing found Xiang Xun. They wanted to be responsible for the city defense of Jiangling's west gate. Since the Youth Battalion was stationed in the west of the city, it was more convenient to dispatch troops and generals.
Xiang Xun was hesitant at first, because he was worried about pushing the young soldiers up the city wall, and there would be no one to restrain the thousands of prisoners in Yu Jin. Finally, Guan Xing spoke out about the school's authority, and the young men's camp took over the west gate of Jiangling.
Rumors from the Arrow Book flew into Jiangling, and the prisoners on the city wall were removed. Everything was under Lu Meng's control. Seeing things developing for the better, he finally showed a knowing smile.
"Old General Han, the book of arrows seems to be working. Xiang Xun has mobilized the defenders frequently in the past two days. We will be able to conquer Jiangling soon. How many troops will be transferred back from the police?" Lu Meng asked.
Han Dang clasped his fists and replied: "General Sun, in accordance with the request of the Governor, dispatched 7,000 soldiers to Jiangling to assist in the battle. Our siege force is sufficient, but the police force is doing it..."
Lu Meng said proudly: "The police now have few soldiers and ships. Seeing General Sun's hundreds of warships, they will hesitate to move forward. Even if Su Fei goes out to fight, he will not be able to break through our blockade. As long as we can seize Jiangling, capture Guan Yu, and Wuling It can be decided by sending a message."
"The general is adjusting his formation and replenishing ladders and other equipment. In two days, he can attack the city with wheel warfare. Without the prisoners of Cao's army to help defend the city, it is impossible for the patrolling defenders to stop them." Han Dang continued to report.
Lu Meng nodded, "That's very good, but let's not be idle now. I heard that General Fu and Xiang Xun have an old relationship. We can take advantage of the period when both sides are on strike to persuade us to surrender. Maybe with the general's sharp tongue, we can get it." How about a bloody battle?"
"Uh... The general has been away for many years. I'm afraid Xiang Xun may not be willing to listen." Fu Shiren declined.
"It doesn't matter if you give it a try."
Lü Meng couldn't help but lead a few generals around him and headed for the south gate of Jiangling. Fu Shiren was helplessly trapped.
Seeing the soldiers and horses from Jiangdong leaving and coming back, Xunxun asked the defenders on the city to pick up their bows and arrows and prepare for the attack.
Fu Shiren bravely urged his horse forward, and then saluted Xiang Xun with clasped fists: "General Xiang, I wish you well. I wish I had..."
"Shut up. How can you, an old thief who seeks glory behind the Lord's back, have the dignity to reminisce with me? If I were you, I would kill myself in the city."
"I..."
"Get out of here, I don't want to see you."
Fu Shiren was speechless and could not reply. He was considered Liu Bei's veteran general. Unexpectedly, after he was forced to surrender to Jiangdong, he was ridiculed by the concubine Xiang Xun. This guy was depressed at first, so he still gave Guan Yu a message himself, but at this time But he turned his back and refused to recognize anyone.
Fu Shiren returned to Lu Meng with a red face, and said with shame: "The last general is incompetent. Now that Xiang Xun has a sharp tongue, he may not be able to persuade him to surrender..."
"What's the difference between a man and an animal who doesn't want to repay his kindness? Xiang Xun once owed a favor to the general. How long will it take if he doesn't repay it now?" Lu Meng's tone increased.
"But I really..."
"The general must be unfazed by favors and humiliations. I was also insulted by this person a few days ago. Do you think I took it to heart? General Fu must use his heart to persuade him to surrender, otherwise the people will suffer after the city is broken. If the Xiang clan wants to survive, they must surrender, otherwise After the city was broken, I ordered that the sword should not be sealed for ten days, but by then it would be too late."
