Chapter 192: The Generals Compete for Merit

After the Meng Yuan people arrived in Jiang County, Ban Zhang automatically split.

Half of the clansmen went south through Shanhaiguan and sought refuge in the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom. Half followed Zhang Youwei, and Zhang Bu surrendered to the Mongolian people smoothly.

This is an old tradition of local wealthy families, hedging their bets.

And in this way, half of Zhang's officials who stayed in Chu State would not be affected too much.

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 families of Mongolian people went south to attack the 32 counties in the five prefectures of Liaodong. One of the ten thousand families was named Dudar, who was a clan member of the Mongolian and Yuan royal family.

There is a Han named Jin Huanshan.

This time, Emperor Mengba of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty appointed the acting prince who was pro-Han as his commander-in-chief, which sent a clear signal that he would replace the Chu State and rule the Han people as a dynasty.

Most of the Mongolian and Yuan generals who went south this time 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 Han Dynasty.

In order to express his gratitude, Zhang Bu held a banquet in his mansion in honor of 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 arrogant.

They looked down upon the Han people and made no secret of it.

Sitting next to the Mongolians, the Han people were very embarrassed.

Jin Huan Shansheng has a handsome face, fair complexion, not tall or strong, and is of average height. Dressed as a Han Chinese, he looks like a Han prince.

It is rumored that Jin Huanshan's biological mother was a beautiful Han woman 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 wine glass and said: "General Zhang. This time the emperor ordered us to go south. After we succeeded, we guarded the 32nd Five Prefectures in Liaodong.

county."

"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. He is in the heart of the emperor, which is really gratifying."

Ten thousand households of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty moved south and basically controlled Liaodong, with only a few places still stubbornly resisting.

These tens of thousands of households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty had to help the imperial court select 100,000 Han soldiers to guard the five prefectures and thirty-two counties.

It was 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 powerful. 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 commander and the Mongolian commander was not very good, but the wine, Jin Hengshan and Zhang Bu's meal were excellent, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After they had eaten and drank enough, they led everyone to the main room and sat down.

Zhang Bu is on the top of Jinhuan Mountain, and the rest of the thousand captains are Han people and Mongolian people sitting on the left and right sides, clearly distinguishing themselves from each other.

"General Zhang. Yingqing Mansion is located in the southeast of Liaodong. The generals guarding here are terrible and have not fought for a long time. The guard posts along the way fell into the wind. But I heard that Wu Nian of Beishan Fort recruited refugees and refused to defend the city.

Surrender. I heard that you have a grudge against him?"

Jin Huanshan's face became 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 Bian Zhang only has so many soldiers in total. As a general of ten thousand households, he is still not worthy of his name. He has to slowly recruit troops and develop them.

"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 commander take care of leading 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: "I believe you 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 attack and capture 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 Mongolian Yuan people's routine in Liaodong. They want the Mongolian Yuan 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? Thanks for your words. I only need two days."

"What? Two days? I'll attack the Beishan Fort and capture the city."

The captains were fighting for the fields outside Beishan Fort, the house inside the fort, and the gold and silver treasures. Han women looked at each other with red eyes, blowing their beards and staring at each other as if they had enemies who killed their fathers.

It's a mess and looks 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, "What are you doing with those things?"

But he was very obedient, responded, and went down to give the order. Soon after, a female maid walked in with a trembling 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 a world of flowers.

Women, land, gold and silver, freedom and happiness.

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 him will go. Beishan Fort, Wu Nian's head belongs to whomever."

It seems that Wu Nian died when he arrived.

Whoever goes wins.
