Chapter 161: Post-War Welfare
Zeng Yu hurriedly said: "Zeng Yu, the county commander of Anping County, has seen Lord Deng, and this official has been ordered by the county guard to go north to support, but the yellow turban thief is fierce and treacherous, and he failed to rescue in time. However, the official could not bear the Yellow Turban Army to wreak havoc on the party, so he summoned the young people in the city and swore to drive the Yellow Turban Army out of the county. “
When Deng Tong heard this, he said with great emotion: "Lord Zeng defeated the Yellow Turban and saved countless lives, the future is promising, the future is promising!" ”
Zeng Yu said very modestly that he was a fledgling and still had a lot to learn, but this time it was just luck, and he still needed to give guidance to seniors like Deng Tong in the future to govern Anping County.
Deng Tong saw that Zeng Yu had just won a big victory, but he was not domineering, but polite, and he was really a humble gentleman. He looked at Deng Tong with great appreciation and invited him to stay in the city for one night, but Zeng Yu declined.
"The soldiers are outside, there is no main general to take care of, I'm afraid there will be problems, so I'd better live in the barracks, Lord Deng can go back by himself, our army will rest for a night tonight, and will continue to set off early tomorrow morning, go north to drive away thieves, so I won't bother."
Of course, Deng Tong understood this, he knew that since Zeng Yu had such a strong army in his hands, he must want to make contributions at this time. He admired Zeng Yu's ability to lead the army very much, so he asked Zeng Yu if he had anything to do to help him.
Zeng Yu looked at Deng Tong, and then looked at Tonglu County, and saw that the walls of Tongtao County were full of traces left by the Yellow Turban Army's attack. He immediately refused: "Lord Deng sticks to the county seat, and there are many places in the county that need to be rescued, and Xiangyuan County has already funded some of our grain and grass a few days ago, so we don't need it for the time being." Lord Deng still settled the city as soon as possible, so that the people in the city could stabilize as soon as possible. “
Guo Peng knew that the county soldiers of Tongtao County had also lost, and Deng Tong only relied on the righteous army in the city to hold the siege of nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban troops for several days, of course, he could guess that Tongtao County had also entered the most difficult time at this time. The death of thousands of young people in battle will definitely make Tongba County more difficult.
When Deng Tong heard this, he expressed his gratitude to Zeng Yu again, and he saw that Zeng Yu was telling the truth, not a polite excuse.
After the two communicated, Zeng Yu returned to the barracks, and Deng Tong also returned to the county seat with the officials of Tongba County. Although the battle in Tonglu County is over, the two of them still have a lot of things to deal with.
Before sunset, the entire battlefield had been cleaned, and the lightly wounded soldiers and prisoners had been simply bandaged and treated, but some seriously wounded soldiers were still being treated by military doctors.
After a while, Deng Tong personally led the strong men in Tongba County to go out of the city with hot food to reward the army, and they were followed by several carriages.
Zeng Yu got the report of his own soldiers and immediately went out of the barracks to greet him. When I saw Deng Tong, I saw that the other party had changed into a regular uniform, and he looked less rigid than a general, and his temperament was more in line with his identity as the county commander of Tongtao County.
"Lord Zeng is polite, this time the adults saved our Tongba County, and the villagers had nothing to repay, so they could only prepare some meat and so on to thank the adults and the soldiers." Deng Tong was the first to speak.
"That's how I thanked Master Deng." Zeng Yu knew that this was also Deng Tong's kindness, so he did not refuse.
Seeing this, Deng Tong also became happy, and immediately ordered his young men to hand over the prepared food to the soldiers of the unclothed army. Then he continued: "This time, I know that the soldiers under my lordship have suffered a lot of casualties, so I specially collected some medicinal materials from the city, hoping to help. ”
When Zeng Yu heard this, he glanced at Deng Tong again, he didn't expect Deng Tong to be so good at being a man. For these, he also had no reason to refuse, and besides, the treatment of wounded soldiers in the army did require a large amount of medicinal materials.
After arranging for the soldiers to receive medicinal herbs and food, Zeng Yu invited Deng Tong into the camp. In the large camp, although Deng Tong was not particularly familiar with the marching formation, he also felt the rigor of the layout of the entire military camp.
When the soldiers on patrol saw Zeng Yu, they all stopped to salute Zeng Yu, and Zeng Yu also nodded to them.
After arriving at Zeng Yu's camp, Deng Tong said to Zeng Yu: "I have also heard about some things in Anping County before, but I didn't expect to see Zeng in person, which is even more admirable." ”
"Lord Deng has won the award, which is also the support of the people in the county, so I have the opportunity to organize such a team of people to contribute to the country." Zeng Yu said modestly.
"Yes, it's a pity that in Tonglu County, because of the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, almost everyone in every family has been killed, and I don't know how long it will take to recover." Deng Tong said with emotion.
"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. The most difficult thing in this world is always the people at the grassroots level, we are humble and can't change the overall situation, we can only do what we can do. What I need to do now is to drive the Yellow Turban thieves out of Shangdang County and return them to Shangdang County. Zeng Yu replied that he didn't say that he had a bigger ideal, because Deng Tong was an outsider after all, and it would not have a good impact if he rashly showed too much in front of him.
"Master Zeng Gaoyi, please hand Deng Mou to worship!" Deng Tong suddenly stood up and bowed to Zeng Yu, he was originally from a small family, and he was very clear about the suffering of the people at the bottom, so after he became the county magistrate of Tongyu County, he could be regarded as loving the people like a son, but because of his ability and background limitations, he may be ruined by this for the rest of his life. At this time, seeing the young Zeng Yu, he also took the people to heart, and Zeng Yu's ability was above him, so he had a special good impression of Zeng Yu.
Zeng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help Deng Tong up, and the two exchanged views with each other again. Through exchanges, Zeng Yu found that Deng Tong is very experienced in local governance, although he is not familiar with military affairs, but for the people's livelihood, he has an advantage that cannot be compared with the people in Anping County. However, now Deng Tong is already a county magistrate, and he is at the same level as Zeng Yu, and Zeng Yu can't recruit him, but he can be regarded as remembering Deng Tong.
After staying in the camp for about an hour, Deng Tong got up to say goodbye, and Zeng Yu personally sent him out of the camp.
Then Zeng Yu summoned all the commanders to discuss the tent, and Guo Jia and the commanders of the three battalions of the unclothed army arrived one after another.
"The soldiers have all had dinner, haven't they?" After Guo Jia and the four of them arrived, Zeng Yu asked.
"Back to the eldest brother, Lord Deng of Tongba County provided meat just now, and food has also been prepared in the camp, and the soldiers have all eaten a full meal, except for patrols and doctors, the other soldiers are ready to rest." Wang Qing replied.
Because of the combat power of the Rui Shi Battalion, as well as Wang Qing's own ability, and then considering the relationship between him and Zeng Yu, the three major battalions of the Wuyi Army are faintly headed by the Rui Shi Battalion. Usually, everyone also acquiesces that when Zeng Yu is not there, the affairs of the Clothless Army are mainly based on Wang Qing's opinions.
"Ziwu, what is the battle damage of each battalion this time?" Zeng Yu asked, this is the question he is most concerned about now, because he is related to the next plan.
"Big brother, in this head-on battle, both sides have suffered damage to each other, but overall we have less damage. According to statistics, a total of 3,266 of our unclothed troops were killed, 347 were seriously wounded, and about 1,000 were lightly wounded. Among them, the Rui Shi Battalion suffered the heaviest losses because of the frontal battle with the Yellow Turban Army, with 1,853 killed and 283 seriously wounded. The remaining battalion of warriors killed more than 1,300 people, and the battalion of shooters killed more than 100 people. “
After listening to Wang Qing's report, although Zeng Yu had already estimated the situation of the battle damage, he still felt that the losses were very heavy. The unclothed army now has a total of 13,000 people, and this time in this battle, it has lost more than one-fifth of its manpower, which really makes him feel heartache.
Suppressing the pain in his heart, Zeng Yu said: "The seriously injured must be treated well, Ziwu, you arrange manpower to send these seriously injured brothers to Xiangyuan County for treatment together with the previous wounded soldiers." If the lightly wounded soldiers can return to the team in a short period of time, let them return to the team as soon as possible, and if they are temporarily unable to participate in the battle, let them participate in the escort to Xiangyuan, which can not only take care of the seriously injured soldiers, but also recuperate from their injuries with peace of mind. ”
After Wang Qing received the order, Zeng Yu asked him, "How about the losses of the Yellow Turban Army this time?" “
"According to the statistics of the brothers who cleaned up the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army killed more than 6,000 people in this battle and captured 5,200 prisoners, and Commander Pei captured more than 1,000 wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army from the Yellow Turban Army camp, and we now have a total of more than 6,400 Yellow Turban Army prisoners, but there are more than 2,000 wounded soldiers inside." Wang Qing replied.
"For the wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, those who can be treated are also treated, and their seriously injured are also sent to Xiangyuan County. Those who were lightly wounded were all with the army, and when they recovered, they were all integrated into the unclothed army to replenish our troops. Zeng Yu thought for a moment and ordered Wang Qing.
"No!" Wang Qing took the order.
"My lord, Commander Pei was ordered to take the Yellow Turban Army camp, in addition to capturing more than 1,000 wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, he also seized a large amount of grain, grass, gold and silver and other property, which have now all been transported to our camp. I don't know what to do with these belongings? Guo Jia asked Zeng Yu.
It turned out that although Zuo Zhangba sent most of the looted property back to Jizhou, he paid tribute to Zhang Jiao. But he still kept a small half of it for himself, as his private property. When he left from Xiangyuan County, he still had troops at that time, so he took all the belongings in the camp away, but this time there were only more than 1,000 remnants left, and he was worried that Zeng Yu would pursue, so all the belongings in the camp were left in the camp, and in the end Zeng Yu was cheaper.
When Zeng Yu heard the good news, he immediately said: "These treasures originally belonged to the Yellow Turban Army, and they could fall into our hands, and all the soldiers of Quannai killed the enemy bravely, so in addition to food, all the others were rewarded to the soldiers who participated in the war." Ziwu, you count the exploits of the soldiers under your command, and then report him to me, and I will let Fengxiao distribute rewards according to the merits of the soldiers. Don't ignore the brothers who died in battle, their exploits are also rewarded and left to their families. ”
After hearing Zeng Yu's decision, the three commanders of the Clothless Army immediately stood up and expressed their gratitude to Zeng Yu. The unclothed army fought two battles in a row, although they won consecutive battles, but the soldiers also had pressure in their hearts, and they went out to fight, and this time some rewards were issued in time, which can effectively improve the morale of the soldiers.
And it can also give a good example to the newly recruited Yellow Turban Army prisoners, who had previously looted their belongings and kept them in their own hands. And after joining the Clothless Army, as long as you make meritorious contributions, you will have a visible and tangible reward. In contrast, Wang Qing and the others can better incorporate the Yellow Turban Army prisoners into their command.
