Chapter 5

The capture of CAI Mao sounded like thunder in the ears of Jingzhou soldiers.

Immediately after that, Huang Zhao, Ling Feng and others yelled that Cai Mao was captured. When all the Xiliang soldiers yelled, their voices echoed outside the camp. Under the red light, Jingzhou soldiers panicked.

"Don't kill me. I'm Zhang Yun. I'm Liu Biao's nephew. I'm willing to surrender!"

In the Jingzhou army, Zhang Yun was the first to throw away his weapons and surrender. He didn't want to surrender, but it was the Xiliang army all around him. He couldn't break through the encirclement. If he resisted again, he would be dismembered and had to surrender.

Zhang Yun surrendered, tearing up the idea of all Jingzhou soldiers fighting to the end, and everyone threw away their weapons to surrender.

Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers to detain Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and took over the weapons of Jingzhou soldiers. After that, Jingzhou soldiers were detained alone and began to count the losses.

In this battle, 36 soldiers under Zhang Xiu died and more than 300 were injured. As a result of this war, more than 400 Jingzhou soldiers were killed and all Jingzhou soldiers were captured.

The army set up camp again, but all the remaining grain and tents were burned.

Zhang Xiu, Huang Zhao and others all rest in the open air.

The night was deep, and Zhang Xiu had no rest.

Zhang Xiu called all the soldiers together again. This time, all the soldiers sat on the ground. And Zhang Xiu is standing in the front, his eyes swept the soldiers, the eyes of the fighting spirit.

Take Cai Mao and turn the morale of the army around.

Take Cai Mao, he won over all the soldiers.

Zhang Xiu, who lived in the past, disdains to do the ideological work of soldiers and share weal and woe with soldiers. She only knows how to fight bravely and how to fight savagely on the battlefield. After the tempering and learning of later generations, Zhang Xiu has changed too much. Especially after he grew up in the army, he knew the importance of ideological work.

Zhang Xiu took a breath and said in a loud voice: "brothers, we have won this battle. We captured Cai Mao alive and captured more than 1500 Jingzhou soldiers. "

"However, we still lack food, weapons and territory. But with CAI Mao and more than 1500 prisoners, we have the capital to negotiate with Liu Biao. "

"We've been through this."

"Next, our days will be better and better."

Zhang Xiu continued: "with CAI Mao, Zhang Yun and other prisoners in hand, we would have personally sent an envoy to Xiangyang to see Liu Biao to exchange food and weapons for our foothold."

Huang Zhao said in a loud voice: "no, general!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed an appreciation and asked, "why?"

In Zhang Xiu's plan, the whole rhythm is controlled by him. He will personally incite the soldiers, let the soldiers appreciate his efforts, and let the soldiers follow him wholeheartedly.

Huang Zhao suddenly interrupts and the plan changes.

However, Huang Zhao's interruption is not a bad thing, but Huang Zhao understands Zhang Xiu's intention and then interrupts. Just so, Zhang Xiu asked.

Huang Zhao said immediately: "the general is a man of thousands of gold. He is the life and death of all the soldiers. Once the general is sent to the enemy camp, we will be completely defeated if there is any difference. General, will you go to see Liu Biao as an envoy? "

The rest of the officers and men suddenly realized.

Now I have hatred with Liu Biao. Once I go to the embassy, I may risk my life.

"General, the general is willing to send an envoy to Xiangyang."

Ling Feng didn't even want to talk.

"General, I'm willing to be an envoy."

Li Miao spoke immediately.

Three people all open their mouths to offer themselves, soldiers in the army are worried about the safety of Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu laughed and said in a voice: "this mission to Xiangyang is very important. If you go to Xiangyang, it's hard to accomplish. When it comes to contingency, you are all generals in the army, and you are short of eloquence. Once you go, not only can things not be done, but you may make a mess of things. This time, Ben must go in person. Even if there is a sea of fire ahead, even if there is an abyss ahead, Ben will have to go. Even if the people in Xiangyang do their best, the general will not turn back. Though there are thousands of people, I will go

"The general wins!"

Huang Zhao heard Zhang Xiu's words and immediately raised his voice.

"The general wins!"

"The general wins!"

……

Ling Feng, Li Miao and others all opened their mouths.

The soldiers in the army were affected by the atmosphere. They were deeply moved by Zhang Xiu's determination, and were full of gratitude and respect.

Seeing the reaction of the soldiers, Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

After this incident, the morale of the army was stabilized.

Under such circumstances, if there is another person like Li Chen who wants to force Zhang Xiu, it is not necessary for Zhang Xiu to do it. Just a word from Zhang Xiu is enough to incite countless soldiers to fight against Li Chen.

That's what it's all about.

Cai Mao is being held in custody, watching Zhang Xiu agitate soldiers, watching Zhang Xiu mobilize morale, suddenly feel creepy. How could he pursue such a scheming man? It's a failure.

After he was captured, he didn't even speak to Zhang Xiu.Now from the side view, seeing the strength of Zhang Xiu, Cai Mao secretly complained. The more powerful Zhang Xiu is, the more difficult Liu Biao will be when he arrives in Xiangyang. Let Liu Biao difficult, even if he returned to Xiangyang, the situation will be very embarrassing.

Zhang Xiu raised her hand and pressed down, all the sounds disappeared.

All eyes fall on Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu once again said: "we went through difficulties and arrived at Nanyang County. Along the way, many brothers died and many soldiers left. All of this, Ben will not do well enough, did not let you have enough food and clothing, did not let you have a stable environment. Ben will promise that from today on, we will not be homeless, we will make everyone afraid, we will have a place to stand. "

Long live the general

Huang Zhao, as Zhang Xiu's dog leg, immediately cried out.

Long live the general

Long live the general

……

All the shouts came together.

Cai Mao looked at the crazy soldiers of the Xiliang army, his cheek puffed, and his heart was filled with regret. This time he came to pursue, he wanted to find a bargain, but unexpectedly, he came across an iron wall.

Zhang Xiu and other soldiers stopped shouting and said, "it's late at night. Everyone has been busy all night. Let's have a rest early. It's cold. Remember to keep the fire burning. Don't get wind cold. "

The soldiers responded.

The faces of all the soldiers were full of smiles, and the smiling faces were full of hope.

After comforting the soldiers, Zhang Xiu came to the place where Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were detained. He lifted up his robe, sat down and said with a smile, "general Cai, Zhang Xiu has heard a lot about you."

Cai Mao said awkwardly, "if you are a prisoner, you can't be praised by general Zhang."

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "if general CAI was used to replace Nanyang County, does general Cai think Liu Biao would agree?"

Cai Mao's face changed slightly.

Although Cai Mao is the head of the Cai family and plays an important role in the situation in Jingzhou, it is extremely difficult for Liu Biao to replace him with Nanyang County. In CAI Mao's opinion, Zhang Xiu's condition is likely to be denied by Liu Biao, which means that he is still Zhang Xiu's prisoner.
