The soldiers on the top of the city exclaimed one by one that someone had already blown the horn to alert the people in the city.
The city gate was opened for a long time and then closed again immediately.
All the people who originally came in and out hid in the city.
The sound of horse hooves was chaotic, accompanied by screams.
The soldiers on the city head stretched out their necks and looked at the cavalry outside strangely.
"Isn't this the Xiliang army that withdrew early in the morning? Why are they back again?" Someone asked strangely.
"Yeah, why are they back again?"
After the initial panic, the soldiers at the top of the city stabilized.
The city gate has been closed, and they are not afraid of anyone coming to attack the city.
Wang Ding and Xu Huang also came to the top of the city and looked at the cavalry in the distance.
Xu Huang said: "This is running away."
Wang Ding also saw that the same army looked completely different when it left this morning and when it came back now.
Han Sui ran past Chang'an City without stopping.
Because he was coming from Xiaoguan, his back route was cut off by Zhang Liao. Han Sui had no choice but to be chased by Zhang Liao all the way from Liupan Mountain to Chang'an City.
Wang Ding looked at Han Sui's troops and horses running past Chang'an City, and laughed in a low voice: "There are only ten thousand people left."
At this time, the only one who could make Han Sui escape in embarrassment was Zhang Liao.
Sure enough, after Han Sui's men escaped, they saw Zhang Liao behind him, with six thousand cavalry, each waving spears and flags, chasing Han Sui excitedly.
Zhang Liao just glanced at the top of the city and continued to chase forward.
Along the way, he was like a cat playing with a mouse. He only killed half of Han Sui's soldiers, and he didn't want to give up the remaining half.
He wanted to see how long Han Sui could run.
However, after passing Chang'an City, Zhang Liao immediately asked the cavalry to speed up.
It's getting dark and the game is over.
"Prepare bows and arrows." Zhang Liao ordered.
The combat effectiveness of this cavalry will not be inferior to the Xiliang cavalry at all.
After the distance between the two sides was close, Zhang Liao ordered the arrows to be fired.
The probability of an arrow hitting is very low. The opponent keeps running, and the rain of arrows can only cover the defeated troops behind.
But enough.
The rain of arrows fell, completely defeating the deserters.
Many people stopped running and chose to surrender.
They could no longer run, and many of them just lay on their horses.
If it weren't for the war horses, they might have surrendered long ago.
Zhang Liao had deliberately slowed down to give them a glimmer of hope.
Now, it is completely shattered.
As some people chose to surrender, more and more people fell off their horses and lay on the ground.
They can't run anymore, but they don't want to die.
Zhang Liao ordered some cavalry to guard the surrendered people and gather their horses.
He led his men and continued to hunt Han Sui.
"I surrender." Cheng Yin stopped running. He dropped the spear in his hand and jumped off the horse.
After running for most of the day, I feel sleepy, tired and hungry, and I really can’t stand it anymore.
"It's tied up." Zhang Liao didn't look at him and just asked the soldiers to tie Cheng Yin up with ropes.
Cheng Yin did not resist and allowed the soldiers to tie him up.
Zhang Liao continued to chase Han Sui.
Han Sui saw that the number of people around him was decreasing, and he saw that he really couldn't escape.
After Zhang Liao caught up with him, Han Sui also threw away his weapon and said: "I have surrendered."
His voice was hoarse, and his throat seemed to be smoking.
Zhang Liao snorted coldly: "We should have surrendered long ago."
As Han Sui surrendered, the remaining Xiliang cavalry were no longer running away.
Han Sui, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu and other generals were all tied up by Wuhua Da.
There were also more than 5,000 Xiliang cavalry who became Zhang Liao's prisoners.
In addition, more than 10,000 war horses were harvested.
Zhang Liao suppressed Han Sui and other generals and returned to Chang'an City with more than 5,000 prisoners.
In addition, three thousand people were dispatched to clean up the corpses along the way.
In this pursuit, Zhang Liao had 6,000 cavalry, and the casualties were almost negligible.
Only some people were accidentally injured by their own people, or were too careless and fell off their horses.
It was Zhang Liao who deliberately controlled the distance between the two sides so that the Xiliang cavalry had no chance to resist.
Along the way, they were just lambs being chased by them.
When Zhang Liao returned to Chang'an City, Wang Ding was already waiting for him.
"Lord, Han Sui is here." Zhang Liao threw Han Sui in front of Wang Ding.
"Someone is willing to surrender, someone is willing to surrender."
Han Sui was beaten to pieces by Zhang Liao, but he still hurriedly knelt down in front of Wang Ding.
Wang Ding personally untied the rope from Han Sui's body and pretended to yell at Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, General Han is willing to surrender, why do you still treat him like this?"
Zhang Liao cupped his fists and said, "Wen Yuan knew he was wrong."
He stepped forward and took the rope from Wang Ding's hand, and said to Han Sui: "Tomorrow I will serve a drink to apologize to General Han."
Han Sui was startled and said quickly: "I don't dare, no need, I'm fine, I'm fine."
How could he, a surrendered general, dare to ask Zhang Liao to apologize to him?
It would be nice if he didn't die, but he was just thrown. How could Han Sui dare to complain?
Liang Xing, Cheng Yin and other generals also had their ropes removed.
Wang Ding is not afraid that they will suddenly attack him.
These people are not dead soldiers, they are just surrendered generals. If they don’t want to die, they will not come to kill Wang Ding at this time.
What's more, they don't have weapons on them yet.
Even if Wang Ding doesn't like the idea of winning people's hearts, he must slowly learn to do it now.
People like Han Sui are always useful to some extent.
And Wang Ding doesn’t have to worry about whether they are sincerely surrendering or temporarily surrendering and looking for opportunities to escape later.
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, there were many people who surrendered and rebelled again, but unless they were loyal to the Savior, under normal circumstances, no one would be like this.
Everyone is quite concerned about their own reputation, but not everyone is willing to imitate Lu Bu.
There are people who risk their lives and surrender, and there are people who would rather die than surrender.
Wang Ding will not specifically target these surrenderers.
It is only natural to fear death. As long as it is not betrayal and surrender, Wang Ding can actually accept it.
As long as you're not like Lu Bu, that's fine.
Wang Ding is willing to accept people like Han Sui who were defeated and surrendered, and he is also willing to give them a chance.
Cao Cao had many talented people, but most of them were surrenderers.
Destroyed Lu Bu and captured Zhang Liao.
Destroyed Yuan Shao and captured Zhang He.
These two will be Cao Cao's future generals, ranking among the five good generals.
Wang Ding now feels that he does not have enough manpower.
If he doesn't need to demote the generals, he will have to train them by himself, which will take at least ten to eight years, and they may not be as powerful as these demoted generals.
Han Sui surrendered, and the ministers of the DPRK and China who had colluded with Han Sui before had nothing to hide.
Han Sui still kept the letters of their previous communication.
But it doesn’t matter whether you have it or not.
Whether those people are guilty or not is now just a matter of Wang’s decision.
