Wei and Jin cooks

Unlike Zhao Hanzhang, who would be worried about a mutiny if there were too many barbarians in the team, Bei Gongchun was not worried. In his opinion, those who would surrender, whether they were generals or soldiers, could be used.

He and Zhao Hanzhang said: "I'm not afraid of the large number of Hu people. In Xiliang, we often fight with Xianbei. But if we lose, some of the Xianbei soldiers will surrender. If we win, the Xianbei soldiers will also surrender. We can't surrender those who surrender." We will kill them all, so we will use those who surrender."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Isn't General Beigong afraid that there is a spy among them?"

Bei Gongchun said nonchalantly: "Then it depends on how to use them. In my opinion, it takes far more effort to identify whether they are loyal than how to use them, and the cost is also higher."

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that even a descendant of her from a unified modern nation could not compare to Beigong Chun's broad-mindedness.

She began to think deeply, and when she came out again and saw Cheng Da and other Jiehu people, she made up her mind not to let them leave.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Captain Song, "Is the journey going smoothly?"

There were many injured civilians in their team, and they had to take so many prisoners. Captain Song was tense along the way, but when Zhao Hanzhang asked, he still nodded and said, "It went well."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his lips and asked him to go down to rest, and then called Cheng Da and Wei You, the captains of the Jiehu team, to talk.

"Have you asked the other Jiehu soldiers about their thoughts? Are they willing to stay or leave?"

Cheng Da asked tentatively: "General Zhao is really willing to let us go?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "But in order to prevent them from turning into a rebel army and plundering our people in the Central Plains, and preventing them from returning to the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty to join the army, we have to let them go after a period of time."

This is normal operation, but...

Cheng Da asked: "What should they do with their food?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "As usual, I remember there is a mine in Guancheng."

She regretted: "It's a pity that there is a shortage of food in the city now. I wonder if the mines are still open. I'll go back and ask General Beigong."

If the mine is not opened, will these prisoners be cleared away? Or even directly made into rations?

The hearts of Cheng Da and others were racing, and they did not have much trust in the character of these superiors.

So after Zhao Hanzhang left, they immediately turned back to their colleagues and said, "We have decided to follow Zhao Hanzhang, do you want to stay too?"

"Team leader, aren't we going home?"

"The people at home don't know whether we are dead or alive. When we go out, we will either be reorganized into the army, fight with the Jin people, or starve to death on the road," Cheng Da lowered his voice and said, "I asked We have been besieging Guancheng for more than 20 days. There is not much food in the city. There are still Huns outside. If they can't break out, they won't let us leave. By then, we will be wasting food while we are alive."

"Didn't General Zhao say he would let us go?"

Cheng Da slapped him in the face, "Can you believe what the people above said? When His Majesty took us in, he said that we would share the hardships and blessings in the future. Now that he is the emperor, aren't we still being driven by the Huns? A slave?"

Everyone felt that Cheng Da was right, so after thinking about it for a while, they all agreed to defect to Zhao Hanzhang directly, at least to save their lives first.

After all, who should I be a slave to?

For whom is it not a war to charge into battle?

Staying alive is the most important thing at this stage.

So a group of people came to Zhao Hanzhang, with expressions of loyalty impressed by her, saying that she was so good to them and they were willing to stay and follow Zhao Hanzhang and wrap her body in horse leather.

Fu Tinghan, who had just seen how Zhao Hanzhang threatened Cheng Da and Wei You:...

Zhao Hanzhang accepted them with a face of emotion, and immediately asked Qiu Wu to arrange for them, provide them with the armor and weapons that should be given, and do all the background checks that should be done.

Especially the family background investigation was very detailed, so Zhao Hanzhang asked Fu Tinghan to help.

Fu Tinghan didn't have any objection. He had always done things like information collection, but... "Aren't you afraid that they will react in the army now?"

Zhao Hanzhang said confidently: "Bei Gongchun is right. I find that I am still too timid. They are all very important powers. Why only use a small part instead of gathering all the power that can be obtained by the tentacles?" ?”

Fu Tinghan: "Aren't you worried that your tail will be too big to fall off?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "Jiehu has always been a subordinate of the Xiongnu. I was too cautious before. I think if I treat them sincerely, they will also treat me sincerely."

Fu Tinghan nodded, thinking what she said made sense, and then asked: "How do you plan to express your sincerity?"

The way Zhao Hanzhang expresses his sincerity is to treat them equally and give them the same treatment as the Jin army. They train together, clean knives together, and then go to the battlefield together.

Of course, before that, she went over to talk to them one by one, and talked about the current treatment of her Zhao family army, which was different from the treatment given to soldiers by the imperial court.

But now there is no uniform treatment from the court.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, a group of Jiehu gathered together and asked, "Can military membership also get land?"

"She said she would divide the land. Is that true?"

"Isn't that for her to farm? What do you think she wants? Those lands belong to our family, and we don't have to pay taxes."

"It's fake. Military membership is low-level. I've never heard of military membership not having to pay taxes."

"Whether it's true or not, we won't leave anyway, as long as we don't starve to death."

"That's right. Now that we are outside, it's not certain whether we can go to Xiping with her alive."

Even though he said this, there was still a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts, and they had a little sense of belonging to Zhao Jiajun.

Bei Gongchun saw that the spirits of these prisoners had changed in just one night, and he couldn't help but said to Huang An: "Although she is a woman, she is really a good general who leads the army. Yuzhou is in her hands more than in How powerful is the governor's hand?"

Thinking of something, Bei Gongchun sneered: "I'm afraid it won't be easy for Gou Xi to hold her."

He already knew that Zhao Hanzhang was going to cooperate with Gou Xi in a major counterattack. Although she did not say the price of inviting Gou Xi, she knew that Gou Xi would not agree to send troops so easily. It was obvious that Zhao Hanzhang paid a huge price.

In this counterattack, Bei Gongjun will also participate.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't have to try hard to convince him, he agreed as soon as he mentioned it.

He also didn't want to spend time in Yuzhou. He was ordered to support Yuzhou. He had only one wish: to solve the difficulties in Yuzhou as soon as possible. He wanted to return to Xiliang.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed repeatedly, "General Beigong is really good. He is the only one who has not made any conditions with me."

Fu Tinghan: "He has a pure heart. Isn't it bad that he didn't make any conditions with you?"

"It's good, but I feel a little regretful. But luckily he didn't mention it. If he asked me to return to Xiliang after the war, would I agree or not?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "If you agree, I will feel bad. If you don't agree, I won't be able to pass this test in my heart."

Not agreeing to such a small request seems like she is stingy.
