Chapter 365 Siege the city and seize the land, expand the territory for thousands of miles

The tens of thousands of troops of Huang Chao resisted Huang Chao and attacked Wanqiu, Chenzhou for a year, for more than one year. Now, in less than three days, it has been taken by Li Tianqu.

Han Jian, who was tied up, was escorted by Chenzhou soldiers. He came to the crowd of people who came to the dentistry at ease. He was trembling all over and slowly looked up. He saw that under the reflection of the light of torches around him, a man surrounded by the cavalry seemed to be smiling and was looking towards him. The identity of that person was naturally about to emerge. Han Jian sighed miserably and lowered his head slowly:

"I was defeated by Yan Wang easily, but I never expected that I would lose so quickly..."

Li Tianqu looked down at Han Jian, suddenly said:

"Duke Han was also a powerful lord at that time, and even joined forces to fight against the warlord Li Maozhen of the northwest. Wang Xingyu attacked the Que and held the emperor hostage. He was a noble man for a while and was extraordinary. But when Zhu Wen sent troops to seize the Emperor of Tang, you surrendered without fighting. Now, as a minister of Liang State, he was in charge of Zhongwu Army, but he intended to resist Gu to the end... It seems that compared to Gu, Han Gong was even more afraid of Zhu Wen..."

"...I was confused about the power confirmation at that time. After all, the Tang Dynasty was weak. With Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu could control the emperor and believed that his power and reputation would also be above the vassals in the world. However, Wang Xingyu was destroyed by the King of Jin, and Li Maozhen was killed by Your... Liang... Zhu Wen, and I was lucky enough to survive, and I realized that it was not a person who could compete with the world's heroes..."

Although Han Jian was lucky enough to fight against Li Tianqu, he had previously clearly managed the territory of the vassal states of the State Army to be prosperous and prosperous, but he gave up his resistance and rushed to the city alone to ask Zhu Wen to allow him to surrender and hand over his well-managed territory. Therefore, Han Jian's nature is certainly not a person who was still scolded after being captured and could die in awe. Now it has fallen into Li Tianqu's hands. He immediately surrendered and said repeatedly:

"I am not talented but overestimated my ability. It is because Zhu Wen and I have an old age. I treat each other with courtesy and forgive me for committing a great crime. I have never neglected the title and reward... Now I am fighting against the king. Although I am a mantis armed with a chariot, I have repeatedly surrendered and repeatedly, and I have been indebted to Zhu Wen's previous kindness. In the end, I cannot be tolerated by the world. This is also an arrow on the string and I have to fire it.

The king once fought against the thieves in Wanqiu, and then killed Huang Chao, which made the world famous. It turned out that the former subordinates of the Zhongwu Army Chenzhou? Still respected King Yan very much. Since he was the general of the defeated army, he should have no complaints on how to deal with it. It was just that he was concerned about the little masters and subordinates of the family... I beg the king..."

While talking, Han Jian's knees became weak and he was about to kneel down and kowtow? He begged Li Tianqu for mercy. However, Li Tianqu waved his hand and immediately said:

"Live here? Mr. Han doesn't have to be so panic. You said you owe Zhu Wen a favor? But it is said that the vassal states of the state were easily occupied by Zhu Wen. Mr. Han worked hard to manage the territory, military, money, and households under his control. He was annexed by him? And you finally find it difficult to defend Chenzhou, and I thought you no longer have to regard yourself as a minister of Liang.

Now our army launches a large-scale counterattack? The battle is important. Gu Zi will send troops to escort him and asks Han Gong to stay in Yanzhou for a while. After the troops are in charge, Gu must have a good talk with Han Gong..."

After hearing Li Tianqu say this, Han Jian was sure that his wife, children, and his elders would not be executed because of trying to resist. And he could also realize that he would not be killed, but would be promoted and reused as long as he sincerely surrendered. The big stone in his heart finally fell, and Han Jian kowtowed repeatedly. Thank you for your kindness and thank you for your gratitude. Then another group of soldiers stepped forward. He was ordered to take care of Han Jian's relatives and family? He even captured a staff member.

Li Tianqu looked at Han Jian's departure back, and secretly told him that this guy's life story was indeed stained. He colluded with Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu forced Emperor Zhaozong of Tang to take power, and then he blamed all his guilt on Li Juchuan, the deputy envoy of the Zhenguo Army, which shows that he was not responsible and would not think about the relationship between the king and the minister when the disaster was about to come.

However, based on all the things a person has done, it is often difficult to clearly determine whether he is good or evil. Han Jian is in charge of the country and can comply with the sufferings of the people. He can manage the people who have been suffering from war and can live and work in peace and contentment, and evaluate his ability to benefit the people. This is completely wrong.

What's more, Han Jian could get nine million yuan in his two years of business, and he also achieved remarkable results in presiding over the reconstruction of Chang'an. His unilateral ability may not be as good as Zhang Quanyi, Gao Yu and others, but he is a versatile talent with various abilities such as agriculture, commerce, and industry. Considering that Han Jian was illiterate and was a rude man who hanged out among the evil bandits under Qin Zongquan when he debuted. As a result, after nearly twenty years of hardship, he was able to transform into a capable minister in politics. It can be said that he was a three-day separation for the scholar, so he should be treated with admiration.

Although Han Jian once put the emperor in his palm, it was also a different view. Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Ye, lost all his energy and became increasingly cowardly, but if it were replaced by ruthlessness and easy-to-kill Zhu Wen, there was indeed a talented Zhu Wen as the master, and Han Jian was obedient and never dared to have bad thoughts. Li Tianqu said that this person was available and had great uses, so it was necessary to let Han Jian understand:

I am the one who decides your wealth and life now, and the regime I have established will always be stronger than the Liang Kingdom of Zhu Wen.

After dealing with Han Jian, Li Tianqu met with the old Chenzhou generals who turned against Xiancheng, and they really saw some familiar faces. They still treated each other with the attitude of the Shangguan of the army at the time and encouraged him. Any generals and officers who led their subordinates to open the door to Xiancheng and subdued Han Jian would naturally be given additional titles and rewards.

The capture of the city in the middle of the night also alarmed many people in Wanqiu City to find out. Li Tianqu had already sent light cavalry to shout and tell the news along the neighbors, and his reputation has changed. In addition to the city guards who resisted stubbornly, the King of Yan also decided not to plunder and invade innocent people. I hope all the villagers will not be afraid, and they will be content with their own convenience, just live as usual. Most local residents, when they heard that Wanqiu was captured by Li Tianqu so quickly, were:

What? It was indeed King Yan... Li Tianqu and Li Du were the ones who occupied Wanqiu? Oh, that's fine... Fortunately, I learned about this battle quickly, otherwise I would not know how long I would be trapped in the city.

After all, in addition to Zhao Feng, Zhao Chang and Zhao Feng, Wanqiu, the three parents, guarded the people in the city, which were not as slaughtered by Huang Chao's army like the innocent people around him. Li Tianqu, who was the chief general of Chenzhou, also made great contributions.

The next morning, the people of Wanqiu worked as usual. If they ran into Li Tianqu's soldiers, someone would take the initiative to come forward to deliver water and food to show their closeness, and they would be quite a bit like eating and drinking pots of slurry to welcome the king's army.

When the old surrendered generals of Chenzhou accompanied Li Tianqu to worship the temple tombs of the three Zhao Hu brothers, they reported that the Zhongwu Army's vassal states are now under the jurisdiction of Chen, Xu and Ru. Since Zhao Hu was previously a vassal force of Zhu Wen, he still retained the autonomy of military organization under the rule of the vassal states.

Therefore, the military generals at all levels of Chenzhou who had survived the war of Huang Chao's invasion back then were promoted from the governor of Chenzhou to the governor of Zhongwu Army. Over the years, many of the people who served in Xuzhou and Ruzhou Army also had old acquaintances who participated in the defense of Chenzhou.

Zhu Wen never expected that his more than 200,000 troops would be defeated and had to move westward. Now, not only is Kaifeng in Bianzhou dangerous and urgent, but the distance is not far away, but Wanqiu, exposed to Li Tianqu's army, has also returned to the city. Xu and Ruzhou, who are mixed with many old generals in Chenzhou, can still comfort and surrender first.

What's more, the capital was now captured and the Jiedushi Han Jian had been captured and captured. I believe that the other two prefectures of the Zhongwu Army would also surrender. Going further south, they were originally controlled by the cannibal demon Qin Zongquan, but the prefectures centered on Caizhou. After Zhu Wen's annexation, they did not establish a vassal state governance, but were directly controlled by the Liang State.
