Chapter 254: Gao Shun's Request
In the second half of the night, the sound of fighting in the inner city gradually stopped, with Chen Mo's order, the Guanzhong soldiers who had already entered the inner city quickly retreated and retreated to the city wall.
In the east of the inner city, Gao Shun was about to catch up with Li Shan, and the soldiers and horses around Li Shan had almost collapsed.
"Why don't you go down?" After Shun received the order, he stopped the pursuit, and looked at Li Shan in front of him, some of his subordinates scattered, and some directly knelt on the ground to ask for surrender, but Gao Shun ignored it.
"The general treats me well." After Li Shan was silent for a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, he didn't want to die, but as a soldier, he has his own bottom line and dignity, if it was before today, maybe he would have been demoted, after all, he is just a military marquis, insignificant, but today, he was promoted to captain.
The responsibility on his body is different, even if Gao Gan promoted him at that time, it was a helpless move, and now Yecheng has no generals, but no matter what, his identity is different, it is easy to surrender, and it is okay to kneel on the ground, but for the senior cadres who promoted him, his kneeling is not only a betrayal of Gao Gan, but it is more likely to lead to the defeat of Gao Gan, even if it is not the main responsibility, the guilt and sense of responsibility in his heart make him unable to do such a thing.
"What's your name?" Gao Shun nodded, and did not force him to arrest him again.
"Li Shan!" The experience summed up by countless battlefield battles told him that he couldn't sign up, but at this moment, Li Shan couldn't help but straighten his chest and said loudly.
He is a general, even if it is the lowest kind, but he is still a general, and at such times, he cannot lose in momentum.
"I remember, next time I see you, I can ask the lord to spare my life, but you have to come down." Gao Shun nodded, ignored him after speaking, turned around and retreated to the direction of the city wall with the trapped camp.
According to the usual practice, you should say something cruel at this time, Li Shan also thought so, and opened his mouth, but what should he say? Would you rather die than surrender? It seems that there is no need, he did not surrender because Gao Gan promoted himself to be a general today, and he couldn't abandon him at this time, but if his surrender could be exchanged for Gao Gan's life, this favor would be repaid.
It's not right, is it bound to lose?
Li Shan looked at the direction in which the trapped camp left, and sat down a little weakly, as if this was the case, with the current situation, completely defeated, I am afraid it will be a matter of these two days.
Thinking of this, Li Shan stood up slowly, glanced at the direction of the camp and left, how to go next, he didn't have any plan in his heart, or he was used to obeying orders and letting himself be in charge, but he would be confused.
It would be nice if there was no war, with his current status, at least he could live well, but if there was no war, I am afraid that he would not even be able to mix with the military marquis......
After Gao Shun led the trapped camp back to the city wall, he arranged for the trapped camp to repair it, and then found Chen Mo.
"Lord!" After Gao Shun saw Chen Mo, he saluted Chen Mo.
"Something?" Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun curiously.
"Hmm." Gao Shun nodded: "The last general wants to ask the lord to release one person." ”
"Oh?" Chen Mo's eyes became surprised, looked at Gao Shun and smiled: "Do you have your old friends in this Yecheng?" ”
"Nope." Gao Shun shook his head.
"Who's that?" Chen Mo asked with a smile, Gao Shun rarely opened his mouth to ask for it, if it was not too much, Chen Mo would naturally not refuse, now that the situation in Yecheng has been decided, one or two people will not be able to reverse the situation.
"Gao Gan." Gao Shun bowed.
"Gao Gan?" Chen Mo repeated, looking at Gao Shun's gaze with some surprise, it can't be really a relative.
"The last general has nothing to do with Gao Gan." Gao Shun explained, Chen Mo's gaze at the moment...... Very well understood.
"It doesn't matter, even if it's okay." Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand and said: "This person is very chaotic in his use of troops, obviously he can't control it, it may be a good thing to put him back and be in a high position." ”
For Gao Gan, Chen Mo really doesn't care too much, people, not that the higher the status, the more important it is, on the contrary, in Chen Mo's opinion, it is a good thing that a person like Gao Gan is not very capable, but he is in a high position because of his blood and is placed among the enemies.
"Can you tell me why?" Chen Mo asked with a smile, he naturally believed Gao Shun's words, but what was the reason for Gao Shun to come forward to intercede for Gao Gan?
"The last general has taken a fancy to one person."
"Women?"
"Man."
"This ......" Chen Mo subconsciously moved back.
"It's a lieutenant under Gao Gan, this person is a piece of jade, and he is quite suitable as a lieutenant general in the trapping camp." Gao Shun explained.
"Oh?" Chen Mo's expression became solemn when he heard this, Gao Shun is his confidant general, and the trapping camp is the elite of Chen Mo's elite, but with the growth of status, Gao Shun cannot just be in the trap camp A battalion of people, this trapping camp deputy general, when Gao Shun can't take care of it, it is almost equivalent to trapping the camp general, Chen Mo has also considered the candidate for the deputy general of the trapping camp, but the suitable generals in the army have the talent to lead the army, and they can be of great use, no matter how good the trapping camp is, it is just a battalion, and it is impossible to let the main general of the first army go to the trapping camp to be a deputy general.
It is precisely because of this that many lieutenants who have been trapped in the camp have done it, but they have not been for long.
"This person is good at commanding small groups of men and horses, it is just right to trap the camp, and this person has good conduct, and most importantly, he is not too ambitious." Gao Shun bowed.
The reason why none of the deputy generals in the trap camp can be settled for a long time is because they have enough talent and stronger ambitions, so it is naturally impossible to succumb to the trap camp all the time to be a deputy general, and if there is no ambition but not enough talent, Gao Shun can't look down on it, and the trapping camp is not commanded by everyone.
Li Shan's ability is very good in Gao Shun's opinion, he can fight, and he will lead troops, but he can't bring more soldiers and horses, his ability is limited, but it is just suitable for trapping the camp, he can't be the main general, but the deputy general can, the trapping camp on the battlefield is to attack the fortified positions, without too much strategy, to be able to command these 800 people, and to be good at this number of tactics, it doesn't sound difficult, but there are not many things that can really be done, the battle of the trapping camp is different from the general combat of soldiers and horses of this scale, and it requires more subtle control ability and battlefield insight ability.
"His condition is to let our army go high?" Chen Mo frowned.
"No, this is what the last general told him, after breaking the enemy, sparing Gao Gan's life, it can be regarded as returning the grace of Gao Gan's acquaintance, he came with me." Gao Shun bowed.
"You can't be so straightforward in convincing people's hearts." After Chen Mo understood the cause and effect, he shook his head and smiled: "Tomorrow is mainly to clear the remaining sins in the city, and the palace will fight the day after tomorrow, as for how to subdue this person, you will arrest Gao Gan and him together, and then say that you can send one person to Yuan Shang to summon and tell Yuan Shang to surrender as soon as possible, and then this Li Shan will naturally stay, and he can also completely cut off his thoughts, let Gao Gan himself chill his heart, why do you need to be this wicked person?" ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Gao Shun bowed when he heard this, Chen Mo said this, so he naturally agreed to him.
"Go and rest, as for whether this person can be the deputy general of the trapping camp, we still need to see his ability, Li Shan, right?" Chen Mo smiled.
"Exactly." Gao Shun nodded.
"Let's talk about it first, if I don't think I'm capable enough, I won't use him." Chen Mo looked at Gao Shundao, the deputy general of the trapping camp is not something that can be held by just grabbing someone: "I have to see if he is worth my effort." ”
"The last will understand." Gao Shun is obviously a little confident, he is not as good as Chen Mo in terms of people, but he is not a casual person, and today he made such an exception to ask Chen Mo for someone, naturally because he saw that this Li Shan was qualified to serve as the deputy general of the trapping camp.
"The last will be retired." Seeing that Chen Mo had nothing else to say, Gao Shun immediately saluted.
"Tomorrow I will have a day off, tomorrow's battle, there is no need to trap the camp, if I encounter that Li Shan, I will be merciful." Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun and smiled.
Gao Shun thanked him and left.
Li Shan?
Chen Mo wrote a name on the bamboo slip with a pen and asked someone Zhang Ji to send it over, if this person encounters it, don't kill it.
The night passed quickly, and after a night's rest, the Guanzhong army went into the battlefield again, went down the city gate, and walked towards the city, and there were door-slamming logs and ladders made overnight to attack the mansions in the inner city.
However, the Yecheng gentry obviously didn't sleep well last night, lost the protection of the city wall, and the Guanzhong army was eyeing them everywhere outside, so it was strange that they could sleep well, so they were afraid that the Guanzhong army would suddenly wave their troops to kill them again after they relaxed their vigilance.
This night, the Guanzhong army did not move again, but none of the major wealthy families in the inner city slept well, and strengthened the defense of their own doors and walls overnight, and some fled to the palace overnight.
In this way, in the restless mood of the gentry in the inner city, the dawn of the second day was ushered in, with Chen Mo's instructions last night, Zhang Ji's goal today was very clear, the soldiers and horses were concentrated in several places to attack, and the sound of fighting became fierce again.
The private soldiers of the family may not even participate in serious battles on weekdays, yesterday they were able to hold the door wall by taking advantage of the dark environment, and now Zhang Ji is no longer the kind of chaotic play with flowers on his face, but in an orderly manner according to the map given by Chen Mo, a family concentrates their forces to attack, before the attack, there is a rain of arrows shot over, as long as the selected mansion, it doesn't matter who you are, what kind of celebrity, a rain of arrows can scare the opponent's private soldiers, and then the Guanzhong soldiers climbed along the ladder, and the soldiers were strictly ordered, As long as you kill it, it will be a fight, leaving no room for survival, no matter how strong these mansions are, they are not real cities after all, how can they withstand such an attack.
Last night, he was a little restrained, but after getting Chen Mo's order today, Zhang Ji was extremely fierce, almost slaughtering the whole family, and for a while, in the inner city of Yecheng, the cry shook the sky, and the bloody atmosphere was filled, as if it had really become a hell on earth.
