Chapter 81: The Sword-Bearer Is Guilty

The knights sent by Zhao Kuo to Handan were surrounded by the people of Zhao on the way, and the people escorted a few soldiers of Yan State, these soldiers had blue noses and swollen faces, and when they saw the knights, the horror in their eyes was even greater, and their bodies were weak, and an elder pulled the knight trembling and asked, "What's wrong with Bairen?" We met more than a dozen of these Yan country deserters, and we couldn't understand what they were saying. ”

The knight smiled and said, "Ma Fuzi will capture the flag and win a great victory!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly exploded, the people danced excitedly, some choked, really speechless, some people knelt on the ground and cried, looking at the chaotic crowd, the knight was also a little speechless, and his heart was full of feelings, the people wanted to ask him more, but he had his own mission, and he was in a hurry to leave, and several old men raised the hidden food and respectfully handed it to the knight.

"Please eat on the way... This is the gratitude of the people of Bairen, please do not refuse. ”

The knights rushed in the direction of Handan, but the people reversed directions, who would want to leave their hometown if they were not forced to do so?

At this moment, Zhao Kuo is still on the battlefield, after drinking some water, he can also carry a spear, barely get up, Dong Chengzi is still leading people to treat the wounded soldiers, and Zhao Fu and others are also recording the casualties, gradually, Zhao Fu's face is becoming more and more heavy, Qing Qin's chariot charge, bringing huge casualties to the Zhao people, there are 1,832 old soldiers killed in battle, seriously injured, dying and struggling, and more than 400.

The people are carrying the remains, the first is naturally to carry the remains of the Zhao people, and the remains of the Yan people cannot be ignored, because Zhao Kuo gave an order, all the remains must be buried, and the remains must not be insulted, and the Yan people have many casualties, and most of them died in the hands of their own people, busy until the night, and they were not able to clean up the entire battlefield, and the departing Bairen people also came back, they wanted to cheer, but when they saw the bodies of the Zhao people piled up, they couldn't laugh.

Under the leadership of the old men, they spontaneously helped clean up the battlefield.

Zhao Kuo was helped to rest, ate meat, Zhao Kuo got on the bed, and fell asleep.

Ge himself stood guard at the door, except for the healer, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Zhao Kuo slept for a long time, until noon the next day, he opened his eyes, and when he woke up, he felt the sharp pain coming from his body, took a deep breath, and then sat up slowly. Sure enough, the person who rushed in was still Ge, Zhao Kuo looked at the sunshine outside the door, and then covered his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry." ”

Ge nodded, and later, he brought some food for Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo ate and said, "Please call Zhao Fu over." ”

"Zhao Fu is not in the city, he took someone to investigate the situation of the Yan people, and he has not come back yet." , Ge said, Zhao Kuo nodded, moved his legs, and said with a wry smile: "Then wait for him to come back, and then bring him to me." ”

Although the enemy general chestnut belly has been killed, but the war is still not over, the Yan people left more than 10,000 corpses on the battlefield, and fled, Zhao Kuo was not worried that they gathered in the city to defend, but worried that they would go to loot the people everywhere, killing innocents, because they had no grain and grass, all the grain and grass, were destroyed on the battlefield, after the grain and grass was attacked by Zhao Kuo once, chestnut belly arranged the grain transport troops in the Chinese army.

But in this war, the Chinese army suffered serious casualties, and the grain and grass were either discarded or taken away by the soldiers who transported the grain, so these routs had no food, and once the person was hungry, the harm he could produce would become more and more serious, and his temperament would become more and more cruel, which was why Zhao Kuo would give up letting the knights in the clouds continue to guard the Yanzhao Gate, but let them protect the people everywhere.

Zhao Kuo lay on the bed for more than two hours, not because he was lazy, but because he really couldn't stand up. Ge led Zhao Fu into the inner room, and helped Zhao Kuo to sit up, Zhao Fu knelt in front of Zhao Kuo, and said: "The rout soldiers going to Handan were all caught by the people of Bairen, and a group of people got into the dense forest, and they didn't know where to go, and most of the Yan people fled to the direction of Shancheng. ”

"I heard that there is a Yan general called Yang Ji, who is gathering troops everywhere and going to Shancheng, I changed into Yanren's clothes and went to investigate, he has gathered tens of thousands of people, and I can't tell the specific number...", Zhao Fu talked about several other situations, such as prisoners, injuries, etc., Zhao Kuo listened carefully, pondered for a long time, and then said: "There is no grain and grass in Shancheng, there is nothing, they will definitely not defend Shancheng...."

"Send someone to find out the situation of the Yan people at any time... Get in touch with the Knight in the Clouds earlier. ”

Zhao Fu nodded, knights are not suitable for charging into battle, but in terms of chasing deserters, the cavalry is the strongest, Zhao Kuo temporarily handed over the army to Zhao Fu in the palm of his hand, Zhao Fu also served in the military under Zhao Hao, has enough experience, Zhao Kuo can also be a little at ease, in the following days, Zhao Fu captured a batch of prisoners one after another, and the rout soldiers who fled from the battlefield were also concentrated in Shancheng.

A few more days passed, Zhao Kuo was gradually able to move around, he first went to help treat the wounded, not only the injuries of Zhao Guo, but also the Yan Kingdom, he could save it, he also helped to save, on the battlefield, Zhao Kuo was able to be ruthless to claim the enemy's life, but now seeing these injured Yan people locked in the circle, tied together like livestock, desperately waiting for the arrival of the death period, Zhao Kuo was a little unbearable.

The people of Bairen couldn't understand why Zhao Kuo ordered to save these Yan people, and even gave them some food every day, the food was so precious, how could it be given to these captives? Is it to escort them to Handan as their own merit? Zhao Kuo did not answer, when the people approached these Yan people, the Yan people were very scared, crying loudly, some begging for mercy, some were shouting the names of their families, and some were saying goodbye.

But when the people helped them to bandage their wounds and brought them food, they were stunned.

He bowed down to these people, his face covered with tears.

When Zhao Kuo came here, several sluggish generals were pushed out and brought to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo looked at these people, silent, and Zhao Bu on the side said: "You can take them to the city of Shancheng to behead the sacrificial flag, so that the Yan people dare not resist again." Zhao Kuo stared at them coldly and said: "I will let go of the soldiers of Yan Kingdom, in the southwest of Bairen, there is water flowing in the direction of Yan Kingdom, and the soldiers can walk along the water, catch fish in the water, and return to Yan Kingdom." ”

Zhao Fu looked at Zhao Kuo in astonishment, Zhao Bu was even more surprised, and did not dare to ask, Zhao Fu translated Zhao Kuo's words, in an instant, the soldiers of Yan Kingdom were in an uproar, everyone looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise, some bowed, some did not believe it at all, the generals looked at each other, and then they were a little happy, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your kindness!" Zhao Fu translated for Zhao Kuo again, and Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "Tell them, they don't need to be grateful, I won't let them go, I'm going to execute them." ”

After Zhao Fu translated, the generals were shocked and hurriedly asked: "They all say that you are a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, why can't you also show us kindness now?" ”

"A thief kills someone with a sword, and the sword may not be culpable, but is it the same with thieves?!" , Zhao Kuo looked a little annoyed, "As the generals of the Yan State, you should have dissuaded your monarch from such an unrighteous war, but you only thought about your own merits, and did not show mercy to the people of the Zhao State, and even had no mercy for your own soldiers, people like you have to pay for your crimes!" ”

After Zhao Fu finished speaking, these generals were ashen, and a few of them turned around and yelled at the soldiers in Yan language, but these soldiers lowered their heads and ignored the generals' orders. The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom still don't trust Zhao Kuo very much.

It was only when they were thrown out of the city and the gates closed that they were sure that they had really been let go.

Some of the soldiers fled from here, while others bowed sincerely in the direction of the city and burst into tears.

Most of the people in Bairen couldn't understand Zhao Kuo's order, even Dong Chengzi, and said helplessly: "Even if you don't want to kill them, you shouldn't let them go, Zhao Guo is short of manpower everywhere, it's better to leave them to farm for Zhao Guo...", Zhao Kuo stood on the city wall, smiled, and said: "Okay, as long as you can scrape together enough food, I can help you catch more people." ”

"It's... I... Forget it. Dong Chengzi shook his head and stopped persuading.

And when these captives fled to Shancheng, or were captured in Shancheng, a great chaos was immediately triggered.

"Are you telling the truth? Does the Zhao people really not kill the captives? ”

"I heard that Ma Fuzi of Zhao Guo is a real gentleman, but I didn't expect that he would be so kind to us..."

"And what are we guarding here?"

"I haven't eaten in three days!"

"I just want to go home, my baby is about to be born..."
