Chapter 231: Is the War Over?
One side could not afford to fight, and the other side refused to allow the fight, and under the wishes of the two sides, the two sides returned to the negotiating table.
When the horn of the Song people's attack sounded for the first time, the commander of the Zalu army tied up Zarumcuo, who presided over the surrender of the first battle, and sent it to the Song army's tent, and the sound of war drums stopped abruptly.
This time, the commander of Zaru went out in person, regardless of his illness.
"Two noble envoys!" Marshal Zalu arched his hand and said: "The war horse can be given to you, but this extra ransom silver, our army really can't afford it, why don't we make an IOU first, and then send it to the army when we have raised enough?" ”
Father-in-law Zuo, who made a big ugly appearance last time, had a lot of courage this time, and shouted with a wave of his big hand: "Okay, it's ordered!" ”
Marshal Zalu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the other envoy, and saw that he also nodded, and his brows wrinkled together, "These two envoys are not fools, right?" Agree with that simple? After doubting, I went to see Zarumcuo, who was sent back by the Song people.
Zarumcuo, who was tied up by five flowers, felt this grievance in his heart, and blamed these two for making the weak ones the same as the echo insects, and he thought that it was his own side that recruited the Song people, and he unconsciously fell into the trap, and when he heard the sound of war drums, he was about to be scared out, and turned his head to see the patriarch looking at him, and nodded helplessly.
"That's what they look like!"
Marshal Zaru sighed, it seems that these two people in front of him are really a mouthpiece! I still have enough etiquette in front of these two people, alas, I am getting more and more confused.
Since Wu Lan was too lazy to go through the form, he had no choice but to cooperate with them, and with a bang, the commander of Zalu stood up, and the face of the father-in-law Zuo on the opposite side turned white instantly.
"Two envoys, I hope to go back and say goodbye, our side cooperates with everything, if you have no other requirements, then let's take the next step, and when the surrender ceremony is over, we can be released as soon as possible!"
"Okay, let's go back and ask, Marshal Zaru wait a moment."
The second round of negotiations ended neatly, and the two sides reached an agreement smoothly.
In addition to the clothes worn by the Jin army, other things are all placed in the camp, after a strict body search, a group of people lined up empty-handed out of the camp, Ao, it is not empty-handed, because each Jin man holds a small white flag in his hand.
The surrender ceremony was held in the Song army camp at the foot of Matou Cottage, and under the attention of tens of thousands of Song people, the Zalu army commander led by him handed over the handsome seal and handsome flag to the Song people, and the ceremony was over.
There is no way, both sides are impatient, and they are indeed in a hurry, the Jin people are in a hurry to go home, and the Song people are also in a hurry to go home.
Seeing that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, I don't know if my land has been cultivated? The mother-in-law and doll in the family must have been terrified in the past few months, and they could go back early to report safety.
The officers and judges of military merit in the army also have to be busy counting the gains and losses of the personnel in this battle, and those who are unfavorable in the battle must be held accountable, and those who have military merits must also calculate the money, food, rewards, and military ranks.
Those who unfortunately died in battle had to find a coffin to put their bodies in place, arrange for labor service and send them back to the prefectures and counties, and wait for the number of buried silver for each person, the number of military merit awards, and the 20 pieces of support silver that the marshal gave him this time and send them to the villages.
For the bottom, a bunch of miscellaneous things, and even more troublesome for the above, everyone's military merit documents, records, vouchers, and a lot of money and loan documents have to be delivered to the imperial court, and these things cannot be completed in a month.
The surrendered Jin soldiers, except for the centurion and above, were detained in the camp and returned to the Jin country after meeting the commander tomorrow, and the other ordinary Jin soldiers were escorted by a battalion of Song soldiers that afternoon, along the route they came, and sent back to the territory of the Jin country.
With the departure of the Jin soldiers, there was a lively cheer in the camp of the Song army, and the Qingchuan army was specially allowed to drink alcohol tonight, because tonight was a celebration banquet.
When 200 pigs and 30 sheep and a large herd of chickens, ducks, geese, and fish that had been urgently bought from the merchant were drawn into the barracks, a group of soldiers who had never seen much of the world looked sideways, and many of them only turned their heads to look, and then tripped over the stones on the ground and fell to the ground.
There is no way that the food in the army is not only gruel and pickles with pot helmets, but also thick porridge and pickles with millet cakes, and even those black miso can only be eaten when there are occasional small victories, the officers are okay, this low-level military man can be said to have not smelled meat since the beginning of the war, well, the smell of burning human flesh does not count.
This battle is difficult, half of the casualties in the army, the Qingchuan Army can be said to have been scrapped, it is simple to replenish the soldiers, but this combat effectiveness is not determined by a large number of people, the veteran takes the new pawn to run in for another year or two, and then goes into battle to fight a few battles, and it is qualified to maintain no defeat.
Most of the soldiers were rude men, and the Qingchuan Army was no exception, and when hundreds of carriages loaded with wine jars drove into the barracks, the noisy atmosphere in the barracks was even higher.
The Qingchuan army is aggrieved, sitting and watching the three thousand first-level military exploits can not be repaid, and the hatred of thousands of dead brothers cannot be repaid, and they have to obediently accept the release order of the imperial court, and they are aggrieved and depressed, so they need to get drunk, because they have the courage to scold the officials of the court, and when they are tired, they lie down by the bonfire in groups, sigh to the left and right that this dog's world is annoying, and it is not as good as the world in the dream that people are obsessed, and then fall asleep.
The Qingchuan Army is also lucky, because their coach Wu Lan is a general who has risen step by step from the low level, and knows the thoughts of the big guys, so they paid out of their own pockets to organize this sumptuous celebration banquet. If you look at the generals of other armies, you will be deducted half of your normal military exploits, not to mention the rewards of real money.
All the living soldiers, in addition to the additional calculation of military merit silver, including those who have not earned military merit, are all given a reward of three yuan of silver money, plus this month's military time, such a real calculation of five silver dollars, the grievances in their hearts can also be relieved.
Just after nightfall, after a team of twenty beautiful servants entered the camp, the original impassioned argument about why his handsome man could not enter the court as the prime minister turned into an obscene "wolf roar", and someone hiding in a remote corner of the camp finally wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Little dog, your trick is really good, these killers drink some horse urine and start talking nonsense, they are really fearless!"
The dog was holding a leg of mutton and was biting hard, and when he heard his words, he laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, this is a trick you came up with, what do you care about me!" ”
"Hey, you kid is slippery, but grandpa said it was your suggestion, what can you do!"
After speaking, Zhang Qi picked up the wine cup in front of him, squeaked and drank it into his stomach, raised his head and stared at the dog with a smile.
Seeing this, the dog put the sheep bone in his hand on the table, picked up a piece of linen cloth and wiped his hands casually, clasped his fists with both hands and said to a little baby at the head: "My subordinates meet the young marshal, and with the young marshal's upright temperament, I will never sit back and watch the wicked accuse each other!" ”
Wu Ting, who was sitting on top of the dog, took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and swallowed it vigorously into his stomach before saying to the dog: "That is, this young marshal is honest and selfless, and he is impartial and upright, how can he let others bite you!" ”
When the dog heard this, he picked up the wine bowl in front of him and teased Zhang Qi, and then turned to Wu Ting and said, "Young Marshal Xie is righteous, come, my subordinates will give you a drink!" ”
"Slow!" Wu Ting threw the eaten chicken leg bones on the ground, wiped his hands and said to the dog: "My words are not finished yet!" ”
Seeing the dog frowning, Wu Ting smiled and said: "If someone frames you, I will naturally not sit idly by, but what Uncle Zhang said is true, and people have not wronged you!" ”
Zhang Qi saw the dog standing awkwardly aside, and couldn't help laughing.
The anxious dog hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I said Zhonglie, you have to be reasonable, recruiting geisha into the camp to dance and have fun, but Brother Zhang said, what do you care about me!" ”
Wu Ting said: "If it weren't for you hinting at him openly and secretly, how could Uncle Zhang have come up with this trick, so it's your idea!" ”
The dog sighed, "Okay, since the two of you are united, then I will admit it with all my might, isn't it just a big prison, isn't the master once or twice entered, not afraid of entering again, the so-called evil does not prevail over the good, sooner or later, one day, the grievances of a certain family will be washed away!" ”
Seeing that the dog still didn't admit it, Zhang Qi slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, you can be so brazen at a young age, a certain family admires it!" Come, let someone toast you! ”
The dog waved his hand, "Zhang is too modest!" Come, boy, a toast to you. ”
With a mouthful, the dog jumped up directly, opened its mouth wide and shouted to the two people behind him: "Big flower and little flower, why did you two pour me spirits!" ”
Dahua hugged the wine jar and didn't echo, or Xiaohua and the dog were close, "Brother Dog, it was General Zhang who changed the wine jar for the two of us!" ”
The three of them were eating and drinking lively, but a group of people in the Chinese army's tent were sad.
"Marshal, just the Qingchuan Army's celebration banquet and reward silver cost 20,000 yuan, if the former army also came like this, it would also cost 20,000 yuan!"
A green-robed petty officer held a thick stack of account books and reported to Wu Lan behind the public case: "Moreover, if the front army is rewarded, the rest of the four armies will also be rewarded more or less, and the subordinates feel that at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan is enough!" ”
Wu Lan frowned, coughed and said, "Need so much?" ”
The junior official said: "This is still a conservative calculation, and the subordinates have not yet calculated the military merits of those people and state and county soldiers!" ”
Wu Lan sighed, pointed to another green-robed junior official in front of the hall and said, "How much money is there in the account?" ”
The junior official said: "It's less than 200,000!" ”
"That's all there is left!" Wu Lan said silently.
Hearing this, an official in a scarlet robe at the head of the team stepped forward and said: "Yes, the commander, so I think that the reward silver of the other four armies should not be given, after all, they have not suffered many casualties, and the normal military merit silver is!" ”
Wu Lan shook his head and said: "The army is afraid of this difference, although the remaining four armies have no casualties, but they resisted the 30,000 Jin soldiers on the left side, so as not to let the war erode, this is a hard military achievement, if they are not rewarded with silver, I am afraid that the soldiers will have some grievances, and if they use soldiers in the future, these people will have laziness." ”
"They dare, if anyone dares not to exert their heart, the saber in my hand will never let him go!"
The man who said this was an emaciated old man, who was thin but his momentum could not be ignored.
"Han Jianjun, don't be too strict in governing the army, but also be tender!" Wu Lan looked at the thin old man and sighed: "If it doesn't work, just borrow some more from the business!" ”
