Chapter 206: Loss
The battle lasted for more than three hours, until there was a white fish in the east, and the two thousand men and horses under Dai Shan's men fled quickly with the corpses they could find.
Zu Dashou, who had an iron face in the military tent, stared at the battle report in his hand without saying a word, and as for the few thousands of households under his hand, he was also indifferent with his head down.
"General, our army suffered more than 5,000 casualties in this battle, Zhang Hongliang killed thousands of households, another 7 hundred households, 32 Xiaoqi all died, and countless wounded soldiers were burned a quarter of the grain and grass ......."
A counselor whispered to the side, but this was actually told to everyone present. When several Qianhu heard the words of this person who participated in the battle, they lowered their heads even deeper.
Until a long time, Zu Dashou made a dry sound.
"Who were the 100 households on duty yesterday"?
"It's the person who is a lower official, Liu Yin."
A thousand households walked out, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"Liu Yin's night was unfavorable, which caused Jianlong to protrude, causing our army to suffer heavy losses, and he was pulled out and cut down to calm down You."
Zu Dashou said without raising his head, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief, now that the dead ghost has been found, everyone doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
It's just that everyone knows, and even Zu Dashou knows that Liu Yin's crime is not to death. Last night's sneak attack was absolutely unexpected, the two sides just met today, who expected that Dai Shan would send someone to sneak attack that night. It's just that the army has suffered such heavy losses, and if you don't find a substitute for the dead, it will inevitably eliminate some confused military spirits in the army.
"General, Liu Yin knew that he was guilty of a great crime last night, and he had committed suicide in the tent."
Soon the two subordinates returned to the military tent to report the results.
Zu Dashou opened his mouth, wanting his subordinates to pull Liu Yin's body out and give orders to the three armies. But after thinking about it carefully, I still didn't open my mouth, and there was still a trace of compassion in my heart.
"Forget it, collect his corpse and send it back to Jinzhou together in the future."
They all came together, and if they really did something too much, they would inevitably hurt the hearts of their subordinates, after all, they were also worried about the great responsibility of this matter.
"Yes, General".
As the two retreated, the tent fell silent again.
"This matter is the negligence of the general, I didn't expect Jiannu to dare to attack our army camp on the same day, about the responsibility for this matter, the general will definitely bear the responsibility of the order, and will report this matter to the superintendent in the future."
Zu Dashou knew that no matter what kind of reason he was looking for, he also had to bear a lot of responsibility, after all, he directly lost more than 5,000 people in World War I. Instead of begging for reasons to relieve oneself of responsibility, it is better to admit it generously, which can win the hearts of the people or reinvigorate the morale of the army.
A group of thousands of households came out and said in unison: "I am ashamed to wait for the officials."
Yes, it's quite ashamed, although this matter doesn't have much to do with me, but whoever let the generals of his family take responsibility, if he doesn't make a statement, he can't say it.
Zu Dashou raised his hand, adjusted his mentality, and looked at everyone with a smile.
"General Ben has seen the courage of your efforts to kill the enemy last night, and has asked the counselor to record your merits one by one, and will definitely reward them in the future."
Zu Dashou's words made several thousands of households ashamed, and yesterday's struggle was better to save their lives. Everyone knows that once the camp is really breached, how can their two legs outrun a four-legged war horse. What's more, the other side only has 2,000 centaurs, if it weren't for the fact that the other side didn't want to fight this battle, it might not be 2,000 centaurs, but 10,000 centaurs. It's really that time, don't talk about your ancestor's birthday, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he will have already run away.
"Uncle".
Zu Dashou called out softly to Wu Sangui, who was standing at the back. Although Wu Sangui was also in the military tent at this time, it was only because he was Zu Dashou's nephew and had this relationship in it. Otherwise, when will a small hundred households have a place in the military tent.
"See General".
Wu Sangui also knew that etiquette was inferior, even if everyone was silently standing at the back because of their own relationship, and they didn't dare to make any transgressions, and when they heard Zu Dashou shouting that he hurriedly stood up and bent down to give a salute.
"Last night, you killed dozens of Jiannu alone, and there was even a Niu Lu Ezhen, such a demeanor must have been known by your colleagues in the army."
Zu Dashou proudly praised Wu Sangui, which made the young Wu Sangui naturally full of joy, but he didn't dare to be too indulgent on his face.
"Thank you general, everything the subordinate has done is just his own duty, and he can't afford the general's praise."
"It's good to have such a mentality without arrogance or impatience."
Zu Dashou pondered for a moment and continued.
"Uncle, you have just reached the crown this year, and you have sat in a hundred households, although there are some crazy words in the army, it is more because of the relationship between you and me. Now last night's stop has proved to the world that you have the ability to do a good job in the position of a hundred households, and it has also freed me from the suspicion of cronyism."
Wu Sangui looked at Zu Dashou with some doubts, not knowing why his uncle said such a thing. Of course, there are also many more shrewd talents, and they seem to have noticed the meaning of Zu Dashou's words, and they can't help but feel a little envious in their hearts.
"Well, I'm dictating today. Zhang Hongliang Qianhu was killed in battle last night, Deputy Qianhu was seriously injured and could not lead the troops, and his soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, you will first take the post of deputy Qianhu, if you behave well in the future, I can remove the word "deputy leader".
Although Zu Dashou's words were said to Wu Sangui, he was more said to the thousands of households present, and at the same time, his eyes were constantly watching everyone's reactions. Seeing that everyone only showed some doubts or seemed to have realized something, they did not object, so I was relieved.
Wu Sangui didn't care about this, when he heard that he was promoted again, the joy in his heart was beyond words, and he couldn't hide it, so he knelt directly on the ground with a happy face.
"In the future, he will fight bravely to kill the enemy and live up to the cultivation of the general."
Although it is only a thousand households, I believe that I will do a good job, so I will remove the word "on behalf of the leader".
Everyone also stepped forward to congratulate one by one, but at this time, everyone's title had changed from the previous little general to Wu Qianhu.
In the past, although everyone called Wu Sangui the little general, it was just because of the relationship of Zu Dashou here, but now they call Wu Qianhu as their own colleague of the same level, so it is obvious that the relationship between the two sides is closer.
"Wu Qianhu congratulations, when you return to Jinzhou City in the future, you kid can't be stingy. I said it in advance, it must be Tianxianglou."
"Li Qianhu, you are really dark enough, Tianxianglou, I really invite you once, and my half-year's Yulu will be gone."
Wu Sangui didn't care at all that your ex-husband actually called himself a kid, which shows that the relationship is closer, after all, only brothers don't care about some titles, and they are also hippie jokers.
Of course, Wu Sangui naturally doesn't need to care about this money, who let his uncle and boss be the bosses of Jinzhou City, not to mention being able to bring the feelings between colleagues closer.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and the whole military tent suddenly burst into joy, sweeping away the heavy shadow caused by the defeat before, and the laughter and laughter were more like winning the battle.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, how loud and loud the sound of everyone's laughter is, and it has even spread to the entire military tent, and some soldiers close to the military tent heard bursts of laughter from inside, and they were also puzzled, but the heavy feeling in their hearts also melted a little.
