You Tu was stunned. There is nothing wrong with this old man. He has more than three hundred people. Do you still want to have a fight with us?
However, Youtu wanted to surrender in his heart. He slowly stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Youtu, a Yue people from Bishan Mountain, would like to pay homage to the old man. I don't know that the old man is an official?" Hearing that his words were not rude, he looked like a man again. Standard mandarin, the old man was stunned for a moment, slowly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, frowned, nodded, and said: "I am a government official, what do you want?"
"I have killed the traitor You Tuchi, and I am willing to lead the Shanyue tribe to surrender. I am heading to the general of the Southern Expedition. I hope the old man will not embarrass us." You Tu said with a frown. The old man nodded and looked at it. They said: "You have been defeated?" Youtuchi nodded without saying anything. The old man asked again: "How many of you are left?"
"I still have 400 strong people, and there are 60,000 women, children, old and young in the mountains."
"Oh, sixty thousand?"
"It seems that the Shanyue tribe is still quite large. Who are you, the rebel commander Youtuchi?"
"It's my father..."
The old man looked a little disdainful, looked at him with disdain, and said: "You killed your father? Do you still want to join the big man?" You Tu looked at him and solemnly said: "For the Shanyue tribe, I had no choice but to do it...", He did not explain, but the old man's face was still a little unhappy. He looked at him and said, "It seems that I am late. I have to go to Duan Jue's place, so just follow me!"
You Tu nodded, and the old man rode past him slowly without even looking at him. You Tu led his clan members to follow behind him, and the scholars also followed behind them on horseback.
The remaining tens of thousands of mountain people who fled from the battlefield suffered a very serious blow. When they wanted to withdraw to Kuaiji County through Yuhan County, they encountered an encirclement and suppression attack by nearly 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers. When they saw By the time these Han troops rushed over the mountains and plains, they no longer had any courage to resist, and their weapons had been thrown away on the battlefield.
They held their heads in pain and knelt on the ground.
The governor of Yangzhou could not bear to kill the unarmed mountain people, so he ordered them to be arrested.
The escape routes in other directions, such as Chaisang County, Ai County, and Gan County, were all surrounded by soldiers from Jiaozhou and Jingzhou counties. The mountain people were at a loss and were massacred. Before they died, they all thought about It makes no sense why they, who had been traveling smoothly, were beaten like this in one day. Many of them did not even see the main force of the Han army. They only saw their comrades in front of them fleeing, triggering A big collapse.
At the same time, the old man led hundreds of mountain people to Xingan County. At this time, due to the deaths of several sect commanders, Youtu had become the only remaining clan sect commander. All the mountain people who saw him along the way , they all joined their ranks under his persuasion. These mountain people were originally afraid of being caught and executed by the Han army, but with You Tu, the commander-in-chief who had always been close to the Han army, they joined in with peace of mind. In the team.
When they arrived at Xingan County, the number of people in the team had reached more than 3,000.
Such a huge team was spotted by Northern Army scouts as soon as it approached Xingan County. Hundreds of Huns cavalry surrounded them, like hungry wolves seeing sheep, stretching out their fangs and acting as their prey. The commander-in-chief slowly approached them and looked at the old man with squinted eyes. He was suddenly frightened, rolled down his saddle and dismounted, leaned down and paid homage: "Meet Mr. He!!"
The other cavalrymen looked at each other, dismounted one after another, and bowed their hands in greeting.
He Xiu sat on his strong horse, nodded, and said: "These are all my prisoners. Send someone to take them back!" The Xiongnu Army Sima opened his mouth wide and looked at the nearly four thousand mountain people. He nodded in confusion and returned to the county town. Duan Jiong and a group of generals were arranging post-war affairs in the palace. Suddenly, a military commander came to report, "He Xiu Gong is escorting the prisoners!"
"Mr. He?? Why did he come? How many people did he bring?"
"Three gentlemen..."
"Hahaha~~~" Duan Juan laughed. It turned out that this stubborn old man came here on his own. He thought he had received some kind of imperial order. I was shocked. He looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Let's go together. Let's welcome Mr. He!" Many generals nodded. They were all convinced by this great scholar, especially Dong Zhuo, whose eyes were sparkling. This great scholar's behavior made him extremely respected and loved!
He asked again: "How many prisoners did he take?"
"More than three thousand mountain people."
"kindness?"
"More than three thousand mountain people..."
Duan Yan stared at the army commander with his eyes widened.
With three men, he captured more than 3,000 mountain people? Didn't he bring three gods with him?
Outside the city, a group of generals paid homage to He Xiu with strange expressions. Then they looked at the nearly four thousand mountain people behind him. They looked at them with their heads lowered and their hands without iron. Their expressions were even more frightening. They looked at them for a moment. , they looked at He Xiu with a somewhat frightened expression, but He Xiu ignored him and cursed: "There are only tens of thousands of mountain people, and you actually let them run rampant in Yuzhang County at will?"
"You actually have to mobilize soldiers from three states? If it weren't for the emperor Shengming today, your head would already be on the way to Luoyang right now!"
If he had said this before, Duan Yan might still be a little dissatisfied. He only lost a few hundred soldiers and defeated Shan Yue's army of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. In the first battle, Shan Yue's strongest soldiers died, and they were no longer able to resist. The military achievements are here, you What else could he say? But after looking at the prisoners behind He Xiu, Duan Juan suddenly couldn't say these words.
Seeing that Duan Jiong did not dare to speak, He Xiu also shook his head and said: "But you are not bad, hahaha. One battle will determine the entire Jiangdong situation, which is considered as paying for the crime with merit!" He pointed at You. Tu, said: "Come out!" You Tu looked at the old man with some confusion, my God, even the general was respectful in front of him, who is this old man?
You Tu came to Duan Jiong and hesitated for a long time. Suddenly, he knelt down suddenly and slowly raised his hands to express his surrender. He said: "You Tu, the commander of Bishan Yue Zong, is willing to lead the Shan Yue tribe to surrender, general! I still hope. The general will forgive the death penalty for the clan members!" Duan Jiong looked at him coldly and said, "Are you the rebel Youtu? You don't look like it? Did you lead these mountain people to loot Yuzhang?"
"The person the general is talking about is my father You Tuchi. One day ago, I challenged my father for the position of commander-in-chief and defeated him by killing him! I hope the general will accept it!" When he said this, everyone in the Han army suddenly started whispering. , there was much disdain for him. Patricide was an unpardonable crime in the Han Dynasty. If such bad news happened to the Han Dynasty, everyone from the prefect to the pavilion officials would be dismissed from their posts!
However, Sun Jian and other Yangzhou disciples were not angry about this. They looked at the people around them and explained: "The succession of the mountain people to the commander-in-chief is a life and death battle. Patricide and son-killing are very common..." , Even though they said so, these generals still couldn't accept it. Duan Yan looked at the young Zong Commander with scars on his face and a sad look on his face, thinking in his heart.
He doesn't care about patricide or anything like that. What he cares about is what role this person can play.
He asked: "Can you get the entire Shanyue tribe to surrender?"
"Can you find the food hidden in the mountains?"
"If I could, would General spare the death of my clan members? Your Majesty...could he treat the people of Shanyue equally?" You Tu looked at Duan Ji and asked with some fear. Duan Ji frowned and said displeasedly: "Surrender. A man waiting to die? How dare you say more?" He Xiu, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Your Majesty is my disciple. Although he is young, he is also a kind and righteous king who loves the people. As long as you can serve the emperor and serve the country loyally, the emperor will Love it too!”
Youtu bowed heavily to Duan Jiong and replied: "I can do whatever the general said!"
