Chapter 1922 Wei Zhou surrendered
Chapter 1920: Wei Zhou surrenders
Xue Rengui was extremely troubled about the candidates for reorganizing the fake Han prisoners.
The Qin army had 83,000 Northern Han prisoners of war in the five counties of Guangyang, Yuyang, Daijun, Zhuojun and Shanggu.
There are also 17,000 Northern Han prisoners of war in Youbeiping.
In other words, there were a total of 100,000 Northern Han prisoners of war scattered among the six counties of Youzhou, and there were 30,000 surrendered Northern Han troops.
The Northern Han had a total of 180,000 troops before the war started, and under the lightning attack of the five Qin army, the entire territory fell in less than a month.
Among the 180,000 troops, 100,000 were captured, and 30,000 were either defeated and surrendered, or surrendered by Liu Che''s order.
In other words, there were only 50,000 soldiers in the Northern Han Dynasty who died in battle.
In addition, there were 60,000 to 70,000 people from Yanjing who died in the offensive and defensive battle in Yanjing.
This shows that the war between the Qin army and the Northern Han Dynasty did not cause much damage to Youzhou.
The destruction of the destruction was only limited to Yanjing. After all, the offensive and defensive battle in Yanjing was indeed the most tragic battle that the Qin army fought in the attack on Youzhou.
Now that the Northern Han Dynasty has destroyed the country, it is natural that prisoners of war and surrendered soldiers must be reorganized.
Only the surrendered generals of the Northern Han Dynasty can allow prisoners of war to return to their hearts and restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, but there is no suitable candidate among the surrendered generals.
Currently, the only surrendered generals who surrendered to the Qin army in the Northern Han Dynasty were Li Ling, Tian Yu, Han Zeng, Zhao Chongguo and others.
Tian Yu and Li Ling are too young and have insufficient prestige to take on this important task at all, and Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo are suspected of fraudulent surrender.
Xue Rengui thought about it but couldn''t find a suitable candidate, so he thought of Li Guang and Li Gan in Yuyang who were detained, and then he kept asking people to persuade him to surrender, but the effect was not good.
After Li Guang learned that Liu Che was dead, he always wanted to commit suicide and do his best to Liu Che. If Li Dan hadn''t stopped him, Li Guang would have died long ago.
As for Li Gan, although he was willing to surrender, he didn''t dare to mention such a father even if he wanted to surrender.
Seeing that Li Guang was unwilling to surrender, Xue Rengui thought of Zhou Yafu, who was detained in Qingzhou.
Zhou Yafu was once called the Youzhou Twins together with Wei Qing, and his status in the Northern Han army was second only to Wei Qing. If he was willing to surrender, he would naturally be enough to shoulder this important task with the prestige he accumulated in the Han army.
Xue Rengui didn''t care whether Zhou Yafu was willing to surrender or not, so he took him from Jizhou first. No, he was invited to come and talk about it. However, he didn''t expect that before Zhou Yafu arrived, Zhang Liang had already surrendered Wei Qing.
"Military advisor, how did you do it?"
Xue Rengui asked in confusion. He went to lobby Wei Qing himself and said everything he should say, but Wei Qing had no reaction at all. Why did the military advisor succeed as soon as he took action?
Zhang Liang explained: "Don''t you know General Xue? Wei Zifu is Wei Qing''s sister, and the relationship between the siblings is very deep, and Wei Yang is Wei Qing''s cousin..."
"Wait, Mr. Wei Yang is Wei Qing''s cousin? He is not from the Gongsun family. Are he cousin with Gongsun Xuanyuan? Why is he now becoming Wei Qing''s cousin?"
Hearing Xue Rengui''s question, Zhang Liang suddenly laughed and said, "It seems you really don''t know that Wei Yang''s father was from the Gongsun family in western Liaoning and his mother was from the Wei family in Hedong. Because his father died of illness, he changed his mother''s surname.
Wei Yang''s mother is Wei Qing''s aunt, and the two are cousins. ”
"So that''s it. The relationship between these aristocratic families is really complicated." Xue Rengui smiled bitterly. Now he seemed to understand the intention of the lord to appoint Wei Yang as the prefect of Guangyang.
Although Wei Yang has changed his surname, the blood of the Gongsun family is flowing in his body. This is an indisputable fact. In addition, he is Wei Qing''s cousin.
With these two identities, Wei Yang naturally had extremely high political capital in both the military and political circles of Youzhou. In addition, he made plans to defeat Xue Gang, the great contribution, Wei Yang was simply the best candidate to rule Youzhou. With him as the governor of Youzhou, he will definitely receive unanimous support from local forces.
Although Wei Yang is just a prefect now, if he can build a stable rear for the Qin army during the Qin and Qing War and ensure that the rear is not in chaos, this is a great achievement and may not be unable to serve as the governor of Youzhou in the future.
"It seems that you have to be polite to Mr. Wei Yang in the future. Maybe when he will become a rank-in-law official." Xue Rengui said in his heart.
"Liang moved Wei Qing to make sense with emotion, and Wei Zifu and Wei Yang were persuading him, which convinced Wei Qing to surrender to our army." Zhang Liang said with a faint smile.
"Wei Zifu is Liu Che''s queen, how could she be willing to surrender Wei Qing?" Xue Rengui asked in confusion.
Zhang Liangze explained with a smile: "Wei Zifu is a smart woman. Liu Che is dead. Now for her, the most important thing is her son Liu Ju.
Liu Ju is the son of Liu Che. Even if the lord treats them well and their son, there will definitely be a lot of criticism in the future. If you want to avoid being bullied in the future, you must find a backer.
For Wei Zifu, is there any better backer than her younger brother? ”
"So that''s it, but will he really help our army by persuading Wei Qing like this?"
"Don''t worry, Wei Qing is a loyal minister. Since he surrenders, he will not be distracted. What''s more, the Wei family in Hedong, Wei Zifu and his wife are all Wei Qing''s weaknesses."
"I''ll feel at ease in this way."
The benefits of Wei Qing’s surrender to the Qin army were undoubtedly huge.
There were many people among the surrendered army and prisoners of war. In addition, the Qing Dynasty made frequent provocations and agitations, so many prisoners of war in prison camps were in a state of turmoil and wanted to find an opportunity to launch a riot to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty.
After all, the Qin army had only 42,000 defenders in Youzhou, while the Northern Han surrendered troops had 30,000. The Northern Han prisoners were even more than 100,000. If the Qing Dynasty was provoked successfully, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, as the news of Wei Qing''s surrender spread, the sound of surrendered prisoners of war caused chaos was much smaller.
Wei Qing''s prestige in the Northern Han Dynasty was second only to Emperor Liu Che. With his prestige alone, he could intimidate the prisoners of war in the country, making them afraid to cause trouble.
Subsequently, Zhang Liang transferred Li Ling and Tian Yu to Wei Qing''s command and asked the two generals to assist Wei Qing in training the surrendered soldiers and prisoners of war.
With the joint efforts of these three generals, the training of the Northern Han surrendered Army was carried out very quickly. It is estimated that it will be reorganized into an army in less than a month, and Zhou Yafu''s arrival has been reduced to this time.
Zhou Yafu has been in Bei Customs for several months. Although he is still loyal to Liu Che, he learned that Liu Che had committed suicide and that the Northern Han Dynasty had destroyed the country, all his persistence lost its meaning, so he became very confused and had no idea where to go in the future.
Later, under the persuasion of Wei Yang, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu, Zhou Yafu decided to surrender to the Qin army and helped the Qin army reorganize prisoners of war with Wei Qing.
