Chapter 59: The Battlefield
"What are dead people?" Liu Ping asked confusedly.
The reason why he encouraged Cao Ang to bring his troops over was that he was ready to kill the remnants of the escapees.
He thought that even if he could successfully provoke the rebels to fight among themselves, they would not be able to kill each other so cleanly, and his two thousand soldiers were just here to help.
But listening to the meaning of Tai Shici's words, the rebels can handle it themselves, so they don't need to help?
Cao Ang was even more surprised when he heard it, what kind of dumb riddle were they playing?
Tai Shici didn't speak yet, but Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "There are more than 10,000 rebels, not one left, all of them are dead, the master's clever calculation, I admire it very much." β
Now Zhang Liao is completely convinced, he was still disgusted in his heart before, and the master's practice of ordering Tai Shi Ci to sow discord was too much of a fly camp dog, and it was better to lead the army to charge in a dignified manner.
But when the rebels killed each other and there were only about forty left, he realized that he might have misunderstood his master.
He Zhang Liao has been in the army for more than ten years, and he knows that there is never a shortage of intrigues and tricks on the battlefield.
At this time, the princes are fighting for territory, it doesn't matter whether they are righteous or evil, these conspiracies and tricks naturally have no distinction between good and evil, as long as they can defeat the enemy and minimize their losses, it is the best strategy.
The master's strategy only used the two of them, and he killed none of the enemy soldiers, and he lost nothing, if such a strategy is not perfect, what else is perfect?
At this time, he no longer felt that there was any grievance in the first place to admit such a seemingly cowardly master, on the contrary, he felt very lucky.
Killing with the tongue is much more powerful than killing with a knife or gun.
Cao Ang was still confused, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?" The rebels are all dead?
Do you know that lying about the military is a crime of death. β
Zhang Liao smiled and said: "It's not far ahead, the eldest prince will go to see it in person." β
"Let's go, let's see," Cao Ang immediately ordered.
Naturally, he didn't believe what these two lancers said, and he didn't do anything himself, how could the rebels all die?
Now that the main force is not there, on the ground in Yanzhou, how can the Cao clan have the strength to eliminate the rebels cleanly?
He and Liu Ping rode on horses and led 2,000 soldiers to slowly touch over.
Although his father ordered him to withdraw his troops quickly, it would not take long to sneak a look, and if he didn't look, he might not be able to sleep well.
After crossing the two mountain beams, when Cao Ang saw that the valley was densely covered with corpses, he was completely stunned, his eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word.
This is also too subversive of his cognition.
I saw more than 10,000 rebel corpses lying horizontally, the blood flowing into a stream had gradually solidified, and the air was filled with the bloody smell of the sky, how tragic and tragic the scene was.
"This ...... Whose hand is this? After a long time, Cao Ang relieved himself: "Brother Xian, what is going on?" Brother Xian, Brother Xian, where are you uncomfortable, why did you vomit? β
Liu Ping bent down and spit out two mouthfuls of bile, more than 10,000 incomplete corpses, so special that it makes people's scalp tingle at a glance.
Although he had experienced small-scale battles before, the situation was not as tragic as in front of him.
This is not a group performance on the screen, but a real more than 10,000 dead corpses, how can he accept it as a modern person?
"I ...... I'm fine......"
This kind of bloody scene, Liu Ping didn't want to see it at a glance.
But Cao Ang is used to the battlefield, although he hasn't fully figured out what is going on, but he remembers that Liu Ping asked him to wait to pick up people's heads just now, and he didn't believe it at that time, but now that he looks at it, this is really picking people's heads.
Destroying all the rebels without moving a single soldier is not again lying down and making meritorious deeds?
He patted Liu Ping's shoulder excitedly and smiled: "Haha, I really only sent two people to kill the rebels cleanly, you guy is really unpredictable, this time I can follow you to make another great contribution." β
Cao Ang's slaps almost took a few more mouthfuls of Liu Ping's bile.
Tai Shici couldn't help but pout when he listened to it, thinking that in fact, Lao Zhang didn't play a big role, and he could kill more than 10,000 people by sending me alone.
"Go down and get all the heads back," Cao Ang ordered excitedly.
In ancient times, the memory of merit was generally the head work, but on the battlefield of life and death, it was generally too late to take the head, and it was not convenient to carry the head.
At this time, the rebels have died cleanly, won't the heads be harvested by Cao Ang? That's all in earnings.
Cao Ang couldn't wait to pile up so many heads in front of his uncle Cao Chun to see what kind of expression he had.
However, Liu Ping's mind instantly made up the scene, and he was almost about to vomit again, but he still had a dense phobia.
"Big brother, why don't you ...... Let Lejin deal with the aftermath here, let's go back first? β
Liu Ping really didn't have the courage to look at the more than 10,000 heads.
It's not that he's cowardly, it's just that he's lived in a peaceful country before, and he's never seen such a bloody scene.
At this time, he saw the cruelty of the battlefield with his own eyes, and his heart could not help but pay tribute to the future generations of defenders of peace.
It is precisely because of their protection that ordinary people like Liu Ping have never been exposed to these tyrannical killings.
Cao Ang saw that Liu Ping's face was pale, and he vomited again just now, and thought he was sick, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, Brother Fool will send you back to rest first."
Lejin, you quickly finish collecting the head, and hurry back to report the merits. β
"No!" Le Jin happily agreed, the eldest prince got this full credit, and as a general, he could naturally get some credit.
Le Jin had been curiously looking for who was the person who captured Lu Bu, but when he saw that Liu Ping sent away two lancers, Le Jin wondered if it was these two people.
Until the two came back, Le Jin observed carefully, he didn't know the capable young man, but how did the middle-aged man with a long beard look a bit like Dong Zhuo's subordinate Zhang Liao?
Zhang Liao was originally a subordinate general of the general He Jin, and after He Jin died, he belonged to Dong Zhuo.
At the beginning, Le Jin also followed Cao Cao to participate in the battle of the princes' alliance against Dong Zhuo, but he belonged to the hostile camp with Zhang Liao, and he had only seen it from afar on the battlefield, so he didn't dare to confirm it.
However, it seems unlikely that Le Jin thinks about it carefully, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu both belong to the state army, how can Zhang Liao fight with Lu Bu.
What's more, Zhang Liao is a tiger general in the world, how can he be willing to be an ordinary lancer under Ping Gongzi?
β¦β¦
Cao Ang and Liu Ping were the first to return to the city, and escorted them with two hundred soldiers.
When I was about to get to the city gate, I saw a pretty green figure walking around, and I couldn't see it clearly until I got closer, it was Cao Jie.
As soon as Cao Jie saw them, he ran over with the little girl Ling'er.
"Big brother, Brother Liu Ping, you are back, I heard that you went out, and the whole family was about to be in a hurry, so I was sent here to wait for you."
Cao Ang was very relieved, this sister did not suffer in vain, although she said that her family sent her to wait here, I am afraid that she herself was in a hurry and couldn't sit still at home.
"Brother Liu Ping, why is your face so bad, are you injured? Is it heavy or not? Cao Jie couldn't hide his nervousness, and asked urgently: "Have you lost the battle?" β
Brought out 2,000 people and brought back 200 people, Liu Ping was still pale and looked seriously injured, didn't he suffer a defeat?
Cao Ang: "??? β
Is my sister worried about me, or is she worried about Liu Ping?
