[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

an hour ago.

Ling Han finished discussing the military affairs in the county guard's mansion, and was about to go back to the manor to rest, when he suddenly received a report from a spies: Cao Cao sent a team of cavalry, the number is quite large, I don't know what to do.

Ling Han immediately judged the opponent's intention.

"Cao Cao must have sent someone to destroy the cavalry led by General Gan Ning. We must go out of the city immediately to rescue."

Gao Lan said: "Your Highness, without the support of the city wall, we have no advantage in facing the attack head-on. General Gan refuses to enter the city for the purpose of harassing them. Wouldn't it be exhausting for Cao Jun to chase General Gan tonight? Make it difficult for them to attack the city tomorrow morning?"

Ling Han shook his head and said: "The comrades are fighting bloody battles, how can we stand by and watch?"

Gao Lan was about to speak, when Ling Han said again: "It's not that this king doesn't care about the overall situation. General Gan must have been here for days, and the cavalry may not be less tired than us. If we just sit back and watch them fall, Langya City tomorrow will be equally dangerous carry on."

"The help I mentioned is not about chasing after the enemy's cavalry, but implementing the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

Gao Lan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react much: "Surround Wei and save Zhao?"

Ling Han said: "Yes, this king intends to attack Cao Cao's camp."

Gao Lan was shocked and shouted repeatedly: "Your Highness! Then Cao Cao still has at least 6 or 1 people under his command! There are only [-] people in Langya City. Even if the whole army attacks, they are not opponents at all!"

This is not encircling Wei and saving Zhao, it is clearly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Ling Han didn't think so.

"Cao Cao never guessed that we had the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack the camp. Seeing us, Cao Jun would only think that Langya has more reinforcements coming."

"At that time, what we had to face were soldiers with no morale left. Such an army, no matter how many there are, is meaningless."

He asked Guo Jia: "What do you think of Fengxiao?"

"Jia thinks this plan is feasible."

So it was decided.

Things went even better than expected.

When Cao Jun saw them attacking the camp at night, he fled in a hurry, almost powerless to resist.

Ling Han took down a general and successfully found out the location of Cao Cao's camp, and ordered Zhao Yun to capture him in case he escaped.

When he led the army to kill there, he only saw the blush on Cao Cao's neck.

In the end, the two generals who guarded Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, refused to surrender after the defeat and chose to die.

All three of them killed themselves, Ling Han couldn't help but feel sad.

Although their hands were stained with the blood of many Langya defenders, he ordered the soldiers to find a better place to bury the two generals.

As for Cao Cao... Ling Han's attitude towards him was very complicated.

On the one hand, Cao Cao, as an enemy, is not only the culprit of this battle, but also has a deep hatred with himself a long time ago.

On the other hand, before traveling to the Three Kingdoms, Ling Han admired Cao Cao very much.

"Contain Cao Cao's corpse properly and give him a higher standard of burial."

He won't pursue a posthumous posthumous title for him, but it will make him buried more dignifiedly. This is Ling Han's final decision.

Cao Cao died, but the night has not passed yet.

A completely chaotic camp cannot be controlled in a short time.Of course, it is impossible for these enemy soldiers to cause any more waves.

It wasn't until midnight that Ling Han returned to Langya City.

After dismounting, he was helped into the Sheriff's Mansion—in the scuffle just now, he was unfortunately shot by a stray arrow in his military boot.

Not much blood was left, not even a trace of blood could be seen in the night.

But it is very painful, especially when walking.

Just now in Cao Ying, even though he was in great pain, Ling Han had to endure it, not daring to show it on his face, in order to prevent another accident.

Now that I'm back in the mansion, I finally don't have to worry about it anymore.

Fortunately, there is a doctor waiting in the mansion.

Seeing His Highness's appearance like this, Langya County Guard hurriedly called him over.

After taking off his shoes and socks, the doctor began to inspect the wound.

After a while, he said: "His Royal Highness's injury is not serious, but he has allowed the wound to bleed continuously, and now it is not serious. You need to rest for a while before you can walk normally."

The overall situation has been decided, and it is fine to lie on the bed to recuperate.

Halfway through the application of the medicine, Gao Lan came to report the military situation.After he entered the hall, he saw a doctor bowing his head to treat His Highness's foot injury, and he was in a daze for a moment.

Is His Highness injured?

When His Highness explained that he was counting the surrendered soldiers, there was no trace of injury on his face.After that, the war has stopped, and it should be impossible to be injured again.

His Highness is treating the wound, do you still want to report?

Seeing Gao Lan standing there stupidly, Ling Han took the initiative to ask, "Has Cao Jun's situation been counted?"

Gao Lan clasped his fists and said: "There are nearly 7 people in Cao Jun's camp, about one-third became prisoners, another one-third died in the previous melee and trampled on each other, and the remaining one-third scattered and fled. Fang. But Your Highness, don’t worry, these fleeing people are not threatening at all. Their physical strength will soon be exhausted in the panic of fleeing, and the unfamiliar Langya will make them unable to distinguish the direction and find the people. .In the end, it’s basically a dead end.”

In normal times, Ling Han would send people to search for these captives as much as possible.

In his view, these soldiers were only bewitched.

Now that they have been defeated and will no longer pose a threat to their own side, it is far better to make them suffer some punishment and return to their status as civilians than to kill them.

However, at this moment, the Langya soldiers had worked so hard for so long, and there was a grudge against these Cao troops.

No matter which angle you look at, it is impossible for Ling Han to order his subordinates to search for these people.

He nodded and asked again, "Where is General Gan?"

Gao Lan replied: "The cavalry led by General Gan suffered heavy casualties at first due to the attack of [-] cavalry. However, after Zhang Liao and others were convinced that Cao Cao was dead, they also chose to stop resisting. At this moment, General Gan is confiscating the cavalry. The cavalry, the details will not be known until General Gan returns."

Gao Lan, Gan Ning and others are naturally very skilled in confiscating surrendered troops.

Ling Han said: "Although the overall situation has been decided, we still must not take it lightly. Looking at those Qingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers, I seem to firmly believe that I will die. At this time, we must not give them another chance to rise up and resist."

Gao Lan cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

When Gao Lan stepped back, the doctor's medicine was ready.

He stood up and cupped his hands, and then said: "His Highness's foot injury needs to be changed every morning and evening. Caomin will stay in the sheriff's mansion these days, but His Highness feels unwell, so he ordered someone to order that Caomin will immediately Come."

Ling Han nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, old man."

The opponent cupped his hands again before slowly backing away.

Ling Han looked at Guo Jia and the governor of Langya again, and said, "I don't need you literati for things like returning prisoners of war. You've been tired for so long, so let's rest early."

The two bowed at the same time and left.

Ling Han finally looked at Zhao Yun again, and said with a smile on his face: "I have trouble with my legs and feet, I need to trouble my brother to carry me back to my room to rest."

Zhao Yun was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

In private, the younger brother would never call himself the king when speaking to him.

At this moment, the sudden name change seems a little unfamiliar.However, the tone of the speech, as well as the content of the words, can't see the meaning of unfamiliarity at all.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and gently hugged Ling Han.

Ling Han could feel that the opponent's body was a little stiff, which was caused by tension.

Speaking of which, when the two of them confirmed their relationship in Jingzhou that day, they kissed each other.

But after that, there was no more intimate contact.

Not even holding hands and hugging in private.

The relationship between the two is actually no different from that of the former seniors, they are only in love in name.

Perhaps not surprisingly.

In this era, before a man and a woman get married, even if they are happy with each other, they will behave themselves and dare not do anything against etiquette.

How men and women get along... there is no example.

Ling Han thought in his heart: Senior brother is an ancient man with a restrained temperament, so he is destined to take the initiative in this aspect.

Now that Cao Cao has died, it can be said that he has solved the serious problem of his confidant.

Next, I should not be considered stupid to allocate time to personal relationships while taking advantage of my foot injury.

The next day, Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Tai Shici arrived in Langya one after another with their troops.

It is not uncommon for Zhuge Liang to arrive in the afternoon.

The reason why Sun Ce and Tai Shici came to Langya so quickly was because of Xun Yu—he had been an official under Cao Cao for many years and knew Cao Cao's character best.

Xun Yu is very clear: Seeing that there is no hope of winning the world, the former master will not sit still, but is very likely to do some things that outsiders think are crazy.

After receiving the news, Xun Yu kept sending people to Sili to investigate. After working hard again and again, he finally discovered one thing: most of the more than [-] people staying in Sili were recruits and young men. Composition of counterfeit.

So he immediately informed Tai Shici of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Nanyang about this matter.They led the cavalry to Langya respectively.

As for Zhou Yu, it was informed by Mi Zhu.

After discovering that Langya was under siege, he first ordered one of his men to ride a fast horse to Lujiang to send a message, and then organized support.

The most strategic people under him gathered in Langya.

Ling Han felt that now he could take a vacation with peace of mind.

He summoned everyone in the prefect hall and ordered: "Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang. From now on, within ten days of my king's recovery, all matters will be discussed and handled by you. If you encounter a very important And if the opinions cannot be reconciled, then send someone to report to the king."

As it happens, in his mind, in terms of current productivity, the most ideal political system is similar to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty.

For all the important documents of the imperial court, the cabinet staff drafted the words of approval.If there is a difference of opinion, vote separately.What was finally presented to the emperor was the number of votes for each opinion.

Although it still depends on the emperor's ruling in the end, the emperor's will and power are also greatly restricted by the cabinet bachelors.

Many scholars in later generations even believe that if there were no Qing soldiers entering the customs, the political system of the Ming Dynasty would develop into a political system similar to Western capitalism in a few years.

Since Ling Han had already conducted a large-scale vote for dispatching troops in Yangzhou, everyone did not find it difficult to accept his statement.

Zhou Yu was the latest to receive the news, and was the last one to arrive in Langya. He had just seen Ling Han at this moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Your Highness seriously injured?"

Ling Han smiled and said: "It's not serious. It's just that the injury is on the legs and feet, which makes it difficult to move, so it needs to lie on the bed to recuperate. Gong Jin doesn't have to worry about this king."

Guo Jia then asked: "As for the handling of Qingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers, will His Highness let the three ministers discuss and deal with it?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone in the hall looked at Ling Han one after another.

As we all know, His Highness has always treated prisoners of war unbelievably well.

Qingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers besieged and killed His Highness this time, causing Langya to suffer heavy losses.If the three of them are really given full power to make decisions, I'm afraid they may not be merciful to the prisoners.

Population is very precious.As long as the war is declared over, the soldiers who surrendered should be pardoned.

But this time, Langya suffered heavy casualties, Ling Han had to worry about the mood of Langya's defenders.

At the same time, from a selfish point of view, he is not willing to handle it lightly.

Even if these captive soldiers are essentially victims, they have actually committed crimes.

It is impossible for him to acquit these people, let alone directly incorporate them into the army.

Ling Han thought for a while and said, "As long as they don't take their lives, and the three of you agree unanimously, you can do whatever you want."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.

It seems that His Highness is also very disgusted with these Cao Jun this time.

It became clear immediately.Langya soldiers suffered heavy losses this time, no matter how benevolent His Highness is, he would not ignore Langya soldiers.

Ling Han looked at Gao Lan and said: "General Gao really worked hard in this battle of defending the city, and he also suffered a lot of injuries. Next, General Gao doesn't have to deal with the capture of soldiers, and you should also rest well Some time."

Gao Lan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you Dian for your shirt."

Although there were no fatal wounds on his body, he was covered with bruises.

Ling Han finally said: "During the recovery period, if you have nothing important to do, you don't need to visit me. All the daily affairs of this king will be taken care of by senior brother."

"There's nothing else, let's go."

Everyone led the order to retreat.

Ling Han stretched out his hand, put it on Zhao Yun's shoulder, and he helped him back to the room.

After Zhou Yu cupped his hands, he took a few steps and turned back suddenly.

Looking at the figures of the two, his brows were knit together, and the whole person fell into silence.

Before I knew it, some things seemed to have changed.

Sun Ce came over suddenly and said with a smile, "Gongjin, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly: "It's nothing."
