Chapter 309: Wu Song nodded
After dark, the fires in Boden City were extinguished by the people who survived the robbery, and the people of the whole city were full of grief, and almost every family had died in this sudden upheaval, and some families even died so that only one or two people remained, and after finding the bodies of their loved ones, how many people wept bitterly......
All this fell into the eyes of Sun Tu and others, and it was not quite a taste. In fact, it was not only the people in the city who suffered heavy casualties, but also the elite of the Qingzhou scout battalion who rushed with him overnight to rescue Boden, and there were also many casualties in this battle - fifteen of the more than forty people were killed in battle, and more than 20 were wounded.
When he heard the results sent by Shi Qian after the battle, Sun Tu's heart was also throbbing, that was the strongest person in the Qingzhou Army he established, and there were such big casualties in the first battle. You must know that they have a considerable advantage, and their sudden attacks and weapons and armor are far superior to those Jurchens who only use rudimentary scimitars and bows and arrows, except that they are inferior to the enemy in numbers, everything is overwhelming. But as a result, it still caused such huge damage, even if more than eighty Jurchens were annihilated, it was not worth rejoicing.
From this battle, Sun Tu can see that the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and the sentence that 10,000 people are invincible is not a lie. These more than eighty people alone have burst out with combat power far beyond his imagination, and they almost almost put themselves into it. And you must know that these Jurchens of the Mangyuan tribe are not the strongest of the Jurchen tribes at all, and there are a large number of troops in the Jin Kingdom that are much more terrible and stronger than them.
"No wonder, the Jin State was able to quickly destroy the former overlord Liao State in just a few years after its rise, and finally broke through the capital of the Great Song Dynasty!" Sun Tu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and at the same time warned himself that he must not despise any Jurchen.
However, these thoughts are difficult to say at this time, and now is the time to inspire the morale of the army and the people, and now the people in the city still need to be appeased. So he quickly cheered up again, found a high place and stood up, and said loudly to the people who were still crying or in a daze in front of the corpses of their relatives: "Fellow villagers of Boden City, Sun Tu, the official of Qingzhou. This time I came late, so that everyone was invaded by foreign tribes, and I am here to make amends to you! As he spoke, he bowed deeply and bowed down.
Those people were at a loss for a while, and then someone hurriedly bowed in return: "General, don't say that, if you don't take the soldiers to kill in time, I'm afraid that the lives of our small people will not be guaranteed......"
Subsequently, the others all came back to their senses and bowed down, which was regarded as a recognition of Sun Tu's merits. Sun Tu took the opportunity to say: "I know that you are in grief now, but the dead are gone, and since the disaster has happened, what we survivors should do is to look forward and rebuild our homeland."
"I also know that every family has been robbed of their property by these bandits, but fortunately, we have intercepted these things, and then we will return them to you in full amount. In addition, the government will also pay for the losses of your families. ”
The reason why he can speak so confidently is because of those Jurchens

They also recaptured the money, grain, and property they had looted from the granaries and silver vaults of the government, and now Sun Tu planned to subsidize these things to supplement the people affected by the disaster, and the rest were distributed among the soldiers under his hands. As for the investigation of the imperial court after that, he didn't take it to heart at all, and now that the county government has been killed, even if there are account books or something, who can tell how much grain is in it?
And if he hadn't led people to kill them in time and annihilated this group of Jurchen thieves, Boden's money and food would still have been robbed, and it would have been impossible to leave a penny for the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, as the spoils he took from the enemy, Sun Tu naturally had the right to make arrangements.
It wasn't until he said this that everyone's mood calmed down a little, and they bowed down again to thank him. And this time, the voice of thanks was stronger than before, and the soldiers around him pouted.
Sun Tu didn't care about the reaction of these people, and at the moment, he selected more than thirty famous old men from these people as leaders to appease and settle the affected people, and at the same time asked people to gather all the dead in one place, thinking of disposing of them as soon as possible. After all, the weather is not too cold now, and if a plague breaks out because of so many dead people, it will be a big problem.
It didn't matter if the bodies were brought together, everyone was really shocked and angry. In just a few hours, more than 700 people died under the knife of the Jurchens, most of them were old and weak women and children who had no ability to resist, and a few babies who were only three or two years old were brutally killed by them, and their flesh and blood were blurred......
When they saw all this, the whole city wept again, and those Qingzhou soldiers were also angry: "It's just a group of birds-beasts!" One day, we will pay back this blood debt to their people! ”
Sun Tu was silent for a while with a gloomy face before he ordered: "Pass my order, and do your best to honor the villagers who died at the head of the Jurchens and the Lijing Temple!" Originally, he planned to bury the bodies of these Jurchens with the people, but now he has changed his mind, and he has to give everyone an explanation!
The so-called Kyokan is to pile up all the heads of the dead of the enemy after the great battle to deter the enemy. Generally speaking, actions that tend to occur only after tens of millions of casualties also show an attitude of not dying, because this is the greatest insult to the enemy.
Although only more than 80 Jurchens were killed this time, even if the scale of Jingguan was really small, this attitude has been revealed. Sun Tu wants to make all those who are ready to move inside and outside Qingzhou, whether Han or foreign, receive their own determination, as long as anyone dares to kill innocent people, this is the end.
At the sound of the order, the soldiers, who already hated the Jurchens, immediately pounced, cut off their heads with great speed, and then piled them all together. Although the dozens of heads stacked together are not too spectacular, only a few feet in a radius and half a person high, they are enough to shock people.
And when Sun Tu gave this order, Lin Chong still showed a trace of unbearability, but under the shaking of Yang Zhi and Luda's head, he did not step forward to dissuade him after all.
Even after doing all this, Sun Tu still had trouble in his heart. In fact, he didn't know that he had killed more than 80 people in this battle

people, but they pulled all the one or two thousand people in the entire Mangyuan Department to accompany the burial.
The people of the Mangyuan tribe will desperately invade the Great Song Prefecture City this time, burning, killing and looting everything, or because the clan has encountered a serious food crisis, they are about to be unable to survive. Now that the desperate action has failed, and the elite and young men of the clan have been swept away in the first battle, then the situation of the old and young women of the clan can be imagined.
When this winter comes, the Mangyuan tribe, which lacks food and clothing, may be completely wiped out. It can be said that in this battle, Sun Tu destroyed not only the eighty Jurchen warriors, but also the entire small clan behind him.
But Sun Tu didn't know all this at this time, and the anger in his heart was not extinguished, but was temporarily suppressed by him. Then he noticed that the soldiers all had a tired look on their faces, and waved them to find a place to rest for the night.
Since yesterday's attack on Baihu Mountain, the sergeants have not rested, not only have they to attack the mountain to confront the bandits of Baihu Mountain, but also to travel dozens of miles to rescue Boden, and finally have a bitter battle with the Jurchens. Even if these people practice on weekdays, they have reached the end of their crossbow at this time, and they need to rest.
It wasn't until everyone was settled and rested that Sun Tu came to Wu Song, and said with a reluctant smile: "Second brother, it's really complicated, so I can't even find a chance to thank you." "If Wu Song hadn't made a move in the previous battle, he would have been really dangerous.
Wu Song waved his hand disappreciably and said: "Sun Du's words are serious, and I don't take this red tape to heart." And if you really want to talk about it, you should have saved me. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sun Tu asked curiously. Wu Song then told his experience-
It turned out that after separating from Qingdian Town with Sun Tu, Wu Song walked around Shandong, and while he was uneven, he also broadened his knowledge. As a result, just two days ago, he found that many men in strange costumes and suspicious deeds were running towards Boden, so he also followed him into Boden County.
As a result, he was involved in this turmoil. At that time, the Jurchen corpses that Sun Tu saw along the way were all killed by him, and the ambush in that alley was actually aimed at Wu Song. It's just that he took the first step to lure Sun Tu in, and Wu Song also discovered this later, so he climbed over the courtyard wall of the house on the side and attacked the Jurchen ambush soldiers who were all on Sun Tu from above.
After understanding this, Sun Tu sighed again, and then looked at Wu Song pointedly: "I don't know what the second brother plans next?" ”
"This ......" Wu Song was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The important man Sun Dujian really doesn't dislike that I have killed a lot of people, I will be with you in the future, kill foreign enemies with you, and keep the people peaceful!" After experiencing this fight, he really admired Sun Tu, such as so many military attachés and generals today, who would do so hard to save the people of a county? Only such a person can be called a hero, and only such a person is what he Wu Erlang is willing to follow and serve!
"Then it's a deal!" Sun Tu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stretched out his hand, and then the two slapped three times in a row, making a promise and agreement between men!
