Chapter 225: Taking Hangu Pass Lightly, Cheng Yaojin Gives Gifts
Xu Rong and the Jin army attacked from front to back, and the army defending the city was quickly killed in pieces.
In less than half an hour, Hangu Pass, known as the most powerful pass in the world, was easily captured by the Jin army.
Lu Bu learned that the Jin army had arrived and Hangu Pass had been lost, so he did not dare to confront the Jin army head-on, so he had to lead Zhang Liang and a group of soldiers and fled back to Chang'an in a hurry.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao fled. The remaining soldiers of Lu Bu's army in Hangu Pass were all panic-stricken. How could they dare to withstand the advance of the Jin army? Ten of them knelt down and asked to surrender.
Yao Guangxiao easily ordered people to take over the defense of the entire Hangu Pass, and then turned his attention. Xu Rong and Duan Yan came to seek refuge.
His eyes were on the two of them, and after a few glances, he already had an idea in his mind.
Xu Rong had a tenacious vision, and even set an ambush on Dong Zhuo's escape to Chang'an, almost killing Cao Cao.
It can be seen that this person does have some talents as a general.
In addition, the two of them were generals of Xiliang, so surrendering them would make it easier for the Jin army to better control the group of Xiliang surrender soldiers in the future.
"Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, I know that you two still have some abilities. I can give you a chance today, if you are willing to join our Jin army and serve my master.
Hearing this, Duan Yan was overjoyed and quickly knelt down on the ground.
"The general has long been interested in surrendering to the Jin army, but he was afraid that he was a Xiliang warlord and would be shamed by the Jin army, so he has been hesitant.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is willing to take in this general regardless of past grudges. The general will do his best to repay the kindness of His Excellency, and serve the Jin army and the dog owner.
Xu Rong did not hesitate too much and knelt on the ground: "The general is also willing to join the Jin army, but the brothers of the general, don't you know the Prime Minister?"
"Amitabha!"
Yao Guangxiao kept playing with the Buddhist beads and chanted a Buddhist chant: "Since the two generals are willing to join our Jin Army, our Jin Army will now have two more generals who are good at conquering and fighting."
"As for your former subordinates, if they are willing to submit to our Jin army, they will still live under your command and be under your command.
"If these people are unwilling to join our Jin army, after our army captures Chang'an and the surrounding areas, we can naturally send them home and let them go back to farming."
Xu Rongxi smiled widely and once again thanked Yao Guangxiao profusely.
Under Yao Guangxiao's arrangement, Xu Rong and Duan Xuan returned to the pass to recruit Xiliang soldiers for the Jin army.
Most of the soldiers guarding Hangu Pass were Xiliang soldiers.
At present, Lu Bu fled, Li Jue and Guo Si were killed in battle, and Xu Rong and other Xiliang generals defected to the Jin army. Almost without any surprise, these lowest soldiers all defected to the Prussian army.
Under the school ground, Yao Guangxiao's eyes were like a torch, staring at the more than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers in front of him.
Throughout the late Han Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of Xiliang soldiers was unparalleled in the world.
Whether it is combat quality, individual soldier quality, or equipment, compared to other princes. It can be regarded as well-equipped and well-trained.
Otherwise, the previous decisive battle with Lu Bu's army would not have caused such heavy losses to the Jin army.
In that battle, although the Jin army defeated the larger army with less, it suffered more than 10,000 casualties. This was a huge loss that the Jin army had never experienced.
Now, with the complete defeat of Lu Bu's army, Lu Bu and others fled, and Hangu Pass fell into the hands of the Jin army. The morale of the entire Western and Western armies was completely destroyed, and their morale alone has dropped to freezing point.
Looking at these people, with a bit of unruly eyes, Yao Guangxiao understood that the Xiliang army had always been famous for robbing homes, burning, killing and looting.
Especially under Dong Zhuo, these people plundered the people's wealth and sacrificed their lives, and innocent people died under their hands. There are countless more.
Since he has surrendered to the Jin army, in order to avoid these people. In the future, Yao Guangxiao is also prepared to take a preventive shot against these individuals who will corrupt the moral conduct of the Jin army.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin always cares for the people. Our Jin army has strict military discipline, unlike you who are under Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. We can do whatever we want."
"All the mistakes you have made in the past can be forgotten here, and we will not settle old scores with you again."
"However, after joining our Jin Army, the military law is ruthless, no matter how great the merits are, those who violate the Jin Army's military law will be punished under the military law.
Yao Guangxiao immediately called for a military judge, read the Jin Army's military law to the group of people, and promulgated the Jin Army's fourteenth ban.
When the Xiliang soldiers heard that the Jin army's military discipline was so strict, they had already been frightened by the Jin army. They were shocked in their hearts and nodded hurriedly.
They all kept the military law promulgated by Yao Guangxiao in mind to avoid being punished by military law if they violated it in the future.
Xu Rong and Duan Xuan, who were surrendered generals, even came to the scene and swore: "We have surrendered to the Jin army. We will be members of the Jin army in the future. We must abide by all the military laws of the Jin army. If there is any violation of military laws, we will not be punished." The Prime Minister will deal with it. "
The other soldiers agreed one by one.
After defeating Lu Bu, he easily captured Hangu Pass, and captured and surrendered Xu Rong and other Xiliang soldiers. It was a great victory.
Yao Guangxiao immediately ordered the soldiers to have a feast with wine and meat.
With a combination of kindness and power, the entire Xiliang army was conquered.
Yao Guangxiao then ordered Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wang Bodang and others to disperse and reorganize all the surrendered soldiers from Xiliang and integrate them into the Jin army.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin, who was seriously injured by Lu Bu and should be recuperating in bed (Wang Zhao's), secretly approached Yao Guangxiao and brought back a carriage mysteriously.
"Cheng Yaojin, why are you sneaking here if you aren't recovering from your injuries at the back?"
"You look so sneaky and guilty of being a thief. What's going on with this carriage?"
Yao Guangxiao looked at Cheng Yaojin, with his playful smile and black anger on his face, wondering what this fat black man was up to.
"Hey, I, Old Cheng, found a group of Xiliang troops near Hangu Pass, and there was a peerless beauty hidden inside."
"I didn't think that His Highness the King of Jin still lacked people to serve him, so I made my own decision and kidnapped the beautiful woman back [with the intention of presenting it to His Highness the Judge." Cheng Yaojin still had a playful smile on his face.
Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao didn't know what to say. .
