At dawn, Liangshan soldiers and horses came to Liangshan with all the results of the battle.
Chao Gai also got the news and went down to Jinshatan Beach to greet him personally.
The leaders handed over the results of the battle to Li Ying, who was in charge of the village's money and food, while Chao Yong took Han Tao to the Juyi Hall.
Chao Gai also asked people to call out Hu Yanzhuo and Ling Zhen who had been sent up the mountain before. Chao Gai comforted him with kind words, and Peng Qi persuaded him from the side. Han Tao and Ling Zhen also surrendered, and only Hu Yanzhuo remained silent. language.
Seeing that Hu Yanzhuo was unwilling to surrender, Chao Yong couldn't help but smile and said, "General, does he know where you were defeated?"
Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Chao Yong and said with shame and anger: "A defeat is a defeat. It's just death. Why humiliate me."
Chao Yong put away the smile on his face, shook his head and said: "I have no disrespect. On the contrary, I have always admired General Huyan. If someone else leads the army in this expedition, I, Chao Yong, will definitely lead the army to kill him." Stay. There is only General Huyan in this world who I dare not confront."
Hu Yanzhuo couldn¡¯t help but soften his expression when he heard Chao Yong praise him so much.
Chao Yong is different from ordinary generals. Although Hu Yanzhuo doesn't know how powerful Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, is, he feels that Chao Yong will definitely not be inferior to Xiang Yu, or even a few points more powerful than Xiang Yu. He can be intimidated by him, and he can be counted among them.
"The general did not lose to me, Liangshan, but to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and to Cai Jing. If the court had not set this rule of using civility to control military force, General Huyan could use his own troops. It would be difficult for me, Liangshan, to win. I saw Cai Jing's reply to you asking for cold-weather clothes, and he actually wanted to encourage the soldiers to wait for the cold weather to break Liangshan before the severe winter comes. How can you be undefeated with such a ridiculous person behind you? "
Chao Yong saw a look of indignation on Hu Yanzhuo's face, and then said: "Now that the court is unclear and treacherous ministers are in power, many loyal and good people have been killed. Even if General Hu Yan goes back, he will probably not be able to escape the guilt of Cai Jing and others. Even if he escapes by luck, "It's nothing more than helping Zhou to do evil. Why don't you gather justice with us and do justice for heaven."
Han Tao also advised from the side: "What the little overlord said is that this time if Cai Jing takes off his warm clothes and allows us to use our troops calmly, the outcome is uncertain. With someone like Cai Jing commanding the court, we will wait sooner or later. If you die on the battlefield, why don't you gather with King Chao Tian and others here to discuss matters later?"
Hu Yanzhuo was also a little moved when he heard Han Tao's persuasion. Since the Song Dynasty, strong bandits that cannot be exterminated will eventually be recruited. It is a good choice for him to temporarily surrender to Liangshan. If he can be recruited by the court in the future, he can also be forgiven for his previous sins.
Chao Yong saw that Hu Yanzhuo had already moved, so he clasped his fists and said: "I have offended many times before. Chao Yong apologizes here. I also ask General Hu Yan to join us in gathering justice."
Hu Yanzhuo saw that Chao Yong had given him enough face, so he went down the slope.
Chao Gai was overjoyed to see that Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Ling Zhen were all willing to join the team, so he immediately asked people to add three more people to the throne in the Juyi Hall.
Dong Ping hurriedly handed over the results of the battle to Li Ying, and then went straight to the Juyi Hall. Before he entered the door, he shouted: "King of Heaven, now we have war horses. Is it my turn to have all the men under my command?"
Chao Gai was stunned when he heard this. Logically speaking, all the results of this war would go to Shanzhai and be redistributed by him. However, Hu Yanzhuo had just joined the group, so it seemed a bit embarrassing to distribute them in front of him.
Chao Yong also saw the difficulty and said with a smile: "General Dong doesn't know something. General Hu Yan has just agreed to join us for justice. His chain of horses cannot be dismantled, and the remaining horses will naturally be redistributed later."
When Hu Yanzhuo heard that the three thousand war horses that he had not warmed his hands were about to fly away, he felt a sense of reluctance. However, since he had just joined the team, it was not bad to be able to retain his subordinate Lian Ma. It was impossible for Chao Gai to give him the many soldiers and horses under his command again. Even if Chao Gai wanted to give it to him, he had to avoid suspicion.
Thinking of this, he cupped his fists and said: "Those war horses were obtained from the battlefield of the cottage, and should be distributed by the king of heaven. Even if there are a hundred chain horses, Hu Yanzhuo would not dare to keep them without authorization."
When Chao Gai saw what Hu Yanzhuo said, he also laughed and said: "The iron-armored chain horse is famous all over the world. How can I, Chao Gai, let him bury it? A hundred chain horses are too few. In this way, each of our generals in the village will lead a thousand troops." , I will leave a thousand war horses to you first, and you can train a thousand chain horses."
Hu Yanzhuo smiled bitterly and said: "The King of Heaven does not know that if you want to train a thousand chain horses, you will have to train at least ten thousand war horses, and even the sergeants will have to be disabled a lot. My one hundred chain horses have consumed several generations of my family's savings. I just trained it, and I originally hoped that the Huyan family's chain horse would be powerful in the world again. "
Chao Gai, who was generous by nature, was stunned when he heard the figure of ten thousand war horses. The Huyan family's chain horses were made of gold, no wonder they were so powerful.
Chao Gai smiled awkwardly and said: "In this case, I will give you 1,500 war horses. If you need anything else, just go and get it with Li Ying."?Yes. As for sergeants, except for your original one hundred continuous horse army, the others must go through Liangshan to re-train for a month, and only those who pass the selection of the regular army can join the army. "
Hu Yanzhuo felt that Chao Gai was very satisfied if Chao Gai could give him 1,500 horses for a new member of the army. I just didn't expect that Liangshan soldiers and horses were not like other grassroots bandits, who could recruit young men at will and had to undergo some kind of selection.
"Since Hu Yanzhuo has joined the gang, let's follow the rules of the village."
Chao Gai comforted Hu Yanzhuo, and seeing Dong Ping's impatience, he smiled and said: "You have an army of 200 horses now, so I will allocate another 800 horses to you, but the sergeants have to wait for the next selection of the main army." ¡±
Dong Ping saw that Hu Yanzhuo, a defeated general, was allotted 1,500 horses, but he was only allotted 800 horses. He couldn't help but argue: "I will lose a lot of horses when I train cavalry."
Dong Ping is also very straightforward on weekdays, but whenever he encounters a battle, he has to take the lead. He is even more brave when charging into the battle, which is completely different from his usual chic and romantic style, so he is known as "Dong Yicheng".
Seeing Dong Ping's stubbornness coming back, Chao Gai couldn't help laughing and said: "When it comes to fighting, you don't care. Then I'll give you a thousand, no more. The other leaders' soldiers don't have horses." "
Dong Ping had previously served as regiment training envoy and military and horse supervisor, so he naturally knew how short of war horses there were in the Song Dynasty. He had previously commanded a state's soldiers and horses, and he could only command a hundred cavalry at most.
Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived at Liangshan, he would have a thousand horse troops under his command. Dong Ping had fought on the border between Song and Liao for many years, and he knew that if used well, a thousand horse troops could be worth tens of thousands of infantry. There was no more entanglement at that moment.
Not long after, Li Ying also completed the handover with the leaders. In this battle, he obtained more than 3,000 horses and captured more than 6,000 soldiers. Three thousand pairs of iron armor, five thousand leather armors, five thousand bronze and iron helmets, two thousand spears, one thousand swords, and fifty thousand arrows.
Chao Gai was also very happy to see that three more leaders and many soldiers and horses had been added to the stronghold. For three days in a row, he held a banquet in the Juyi Hall to celebrate.
