Chapter 561: Losers Pay the Price
Gu Han smiled and arched his hands, saluted casually, and said, "Deng Tingshi, this battle has actually ended at this point, isn't it?" ”
"As long as I'm alive, as long as there are people under my command alive, this battle isn't over. Judge Gu, have you ever heard of the trapped beast fighting? Deng Jingshan said coldly.
"Yes." Gu Han said calmly: "Many years ago, I traveled to Liaozhou, and once saw an injured lone wolf fighting with a tiger in the wilderness. ”
"Have you traveled to Liaozhou?" Deng Jingshan was stunned.
"I have not only been to Liaozhou, but also to Yingzhou, and I have also been to the Western Regions." Gu Han said with a smile. "Deng Thorn History, even if the trapped beast can still fight, but the final result will not be the same, tens of thousands of sons and daughters here are all soldiers who have followed Deng Thorn Shi for many years, is Deng Thorn Shi really willing to bury them on this vast snowfield?"
"I know that I still have tens of thousands of children, and I can't turn defeat into victory if I fight to the death." Deng Jingshan said angrily.
"Is it possible?" Gu Han turned his head to look at Li Rui beside him.
"Impossible." Li Rui said: "We don't have to follow him, drag it out for a few days, Deng Tingshi's soldiers and horses are afraid that they will become soft-footed crabs." Of course, Deng Tingshi can also attack our encirclement, Zuo Jin Wuwei thinks that he has already let Deng Tingshi understand it, and Right Xiaowei actually wants to show it in front of Deng Tingshi. ”
Deng Jingshan's face turned a little blue, glared at Li Rui fiercely, and said angrily: "What do you two mean?" If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart, and get out when you're done! ”
Li Rui was furious, and was about to retort and ridicule him, Gu Han had already rushed ahead and said: "In the barracks of Deng Tingshi, the sound of the wounded crying and crying in pain has spread for several miles, and it is eye-catching to hear. ”
"What?" Deng Jingshan didn't believe his ears.
"These wounded people stay here with Deng Tingshi, no matter what happens next, I'm afraid they will definitely not survive. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and we are willing to save them. Deng Tingshi must also know that our army has a field hospital, and although there are a lot of thousands of wounded soldiers here, we have gathered the strength of the whole defense, and we dare not say that we can save all of them, but it is very possible to survive seventy or eighty percent. Gu Han said leisurely.
Li Ze's troops are equipped with many doctors, which Deng Jingshan naturally knows, when Jin Yuan started to do this in Zhenzhou, Fei Zhong once forced Lu Long's famous doctor Weng Ming to also draw a scoop according to the gourd, and wanted to train a large number of doctors for Lu Longjun, but unfortunately, with Fei Zhong's death in Youzhou, this matter was also over. After all, to train so many doctors, in addition to the faculty, the money must also keep up. Lu Longjun, who was driven to the land of Liaozhou in Yingzhou, has nothing to do with himself, where is there still extra money to do these things?
And Wu Wei under Li Ze has finally begun to reap fruitful fruits after persevering for several years. With a 30,000-strong guard army, the number of doctors can reach about 500, not counting the three-legged cats who know some rudimentary knowledge.
In fact, even those three-legged cats can save their lives on the battlefield.
"Liu Chenglin is not afraid that after I send these people away, there will be no fetters, can I break through with all my strength?" Deng Jingshan exhaled a breath of turbid air and said.
"Since we dare to do it, we are naturally not afraid, if Deng Tingshi wants to break through, it is just for us to send more Lu Longjun to the wounded barracks, or to burn more corpses after the war. Tens of thousands of corpses have been burned in Kanyanwu Fort, so much so that I can't smell meat for more than ten days. Li Rui said coldly.
Deng Jingshan's gaze looked over the faces of all the generals in the tent.
From their faces, they all saw the meaning of Yidong.
It's not that their will is shaken, but because among the wounded soldiers, there are their friends and their relatives, and now they are in the camp, they can only wait for death, but if the other party can really accept it, there can be a way to live.
"Liu Chenglin has killed prisoners!" Deng Jingshan said suddenly: "In the battle of Shijiawu, none of the prisoners survived. ”
Gu Han smiled and said: "That time there was a reason, General Liu's anger is understandable, this time is different, not to mention, Han Qi, the secretary of the military department, is also in the barracks at the moment." ”
"Han Qi is here too?" Deng Jingshan said strangely.
Gu Han nodded.
Deng Jingshan was silent for a moment, and looked at the people in the tent: "What do you think?" ”
After a while, the marching Sima Song Yu stood up and said: "Han Qi was also a candidate for one party, and now he is the secretary of the military department of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court, in public and private, this person will never do anything unbearable, our wounded soldiers will drag it down, there is indeed only one way to die, it is better to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor, even if they are treated as cattle and horses by the Tang Army in the future, but they are still alive, I agree to do this, it is also the last thing we do for them." ”
The generals in the tent also nodded one after another, so far, I am afraid that everyone's life is not big, and it is not bad to let a group of people live like this. What's more, if there is no drag from the wounded soldiers, when it is really time to break through, it can also reduce the huge burden.
Abandoning all the wounded soldiers to break through will only deal a bigger blow to morale.
"In that case, let's all go down and make arrangements, and tell those wounded soldiers that we are not giving up on them, but only in this way can they hope to live." Deng Jingshan waved his hand.
"Yes!" The generals departed. In the big tent, in an instant, only Deng Jingshan, marching Sima Song Yu and a few others remained.
"Tell me, what the hell do you mean?" Deng Jingshan asked again.
"What do we mean, just look at Deng Tingshi, what do you mean?" Gu Han said with a smile.
"Could it be that I said I don't want to fight, I want to leave with my troops, and you just let me go?" Deng Jingshan smiled.
"Why not?" Gu Han's words were shocking, which made Deng Jingshan, Song Yu and others look at each other.
"This is not a battle we want to fight." Gu Han said slowly: "General Li led his troops to suppress the bandits, that was a last resort, and now speaking of it, it is also a trap set by you, but we will calculate it." In fact, we don't want to fight you at all right now. ”
Deng Jingshan stood up and looked at Gu Han: "Are you really willing to let us go?" ”
Gu Han looked at Deng Jingshan: "But the defeated need to pay a price." ”
"You have seized a large area of land in Pingzhou." Deng Jingshan Road.
"That's what our soldiers bought with their lives and blood." Gu Han shook his head and said, "General Li Rui alone killed and injured nearly 2,000 of his subordinates in the battle of Wubao, and these lands are compensation for the soldiers who died in the battle. Deng Tingshi, if you want to leave, you need to pay another price. ”
Deng Jingshan sat down slowly: "We have nothing but one life now!" I can't take it out. If I pay the bill later, you will not believe it. ”
"Having a life is enough." Gu Han took two steps forward and said.
"What do you mean?" Deng Jingshan asked.
"Deng Tingshi is also a person with status, and now in addition to the wounded soldiers, there are about 30,000 people surrounded by us here, and you can only pick 5,000 people to take away. Of course, these 5,000 people can leave with dignity and full armament, and the remaining 25,000 people need to surrender to us and become our prisoners. Gu Han said.
Deng Jingshan took the case and glared at Gu Han angrily.
Gu Han was not afraid, and glared at each other with Deng Jingshan.
"Deng Tingshi, it is our greatest sincerity to let you go, is it possible that you still want to leave with all your beards and tails?" Gu Leng said with a smile. "Of course, you can also choose to fight with us again, and afterwards, we will return your body to Marshal Zhang Zhongwu."
Marching Sima Song Yu walked up and said, "It's a big trouble, Judge Gu, can you let us discuss?" ”
"Of course." Gu Han said: "Anyway, you have to keep handing over those wounded soldiers to us in the past few days, and we have time." How will the wounded be handed over, and how about you please arrange for a specific person in charge to contact General Li Rui? ”
"We have arranged for General Wang Xi to do this." Song Yu said.
"In that case, we're going to leave now." Gu Han arched his hand.
"Okay, I'll send you two out of the camp." Song Yu said: "If we discuss the result, we will naturally come to visit Han Shangshu, General Liu, etc., no matter what, you are willing to take over our wounded soldiers, and we are very grateful." ”
Gu Li and the others walked away, and after turning around, Song Yu looked at Deng Jingshan and said, "Assassin Shi, we have no choice." ”
"Sima Ke knows that if I do this, the 25,000 people who were abandoned will regard me as revenge from now on!" Deng Jingshan said in a low voice.
"It's better than annihilating the whole army here. Five thousand heavily armed elites can still do a lot when they go back. We can use this as a skeleton to organize an army again in a short period of time. Song Yu said: "Liu Siyuan will support him in the future, but I'm just afraid that he has already arrived in Jinzhou." ”
"When you go back like this, how can you see Lu Long's comrades?" Deng Jingshan covered his face with both hands.
Song Yu shook his head and said: "It seems that Li Ze really doesn't want to fight with us anymore, if we can reach a long-term peace agreement with Li Ze, it will be more beneficial than good for us, you also know that there are already problems on the Goguryeo side, and Liaozhou and Yingzhou are still everywhere." ”
"Why did Li Ze do this?"
"It's very simple, his attention is now on Zhu Wen, after all, Zhu Wen is the emperor of the country, which is naturally intolerable for Li Ze." Song Yu said: "In comparison, Zhang Dashuai is not so important, or rather, he predicts that we will not be able to achieve any climate in the Northeast." ”
