Chapter 189: Bereavement is always useful
In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, there were generals and lieutenants, all of whom looked at Su Lu curiously.
This is a brave general who broke through the Tule battalion, and overnight, he broke through four large camps in a row, and the general who beat Tule lost his armor and solved the crisis in Beiyang.
Su Lu waved his hand: "Okay, it's all gone, I'll go see the general and see what the general has orders." ”
Dong Cheng glared at Zhang Gu and Zhang Lu, the two grandsons were really in the way, and Lao Tzu still wanted to discuss with Su Lu about his relationship with my niece, but he was so disturbed.
Grabbing Su Lu's arm attentively, Dong Cheng said with a smile on his face: "It's okay to go to see the general first, but it's okay, you can get a trip to my camp when you're done, and I have something to tell you." ”
Su Lu nodded, drove away all the generals and captains, and entered the big tent of the Chinese army.
He Gong and Lin Tongzheng whispered something, Fan Wenshao wrote a booklet on the table on one side, and several people were reviewing the mountains of military affairs booklets.
Seeing Su Lu, Lin Tong took the lead in standing up, his old face was full of smiles, and he walked with a tiger, and came over to pat Su Lu on the shoulder.
"Okay, Su Hou Ye is still the invincible Su Hou Ye, last night's battle, I was terrified to see it, and I won it by force, not only saved Zhang Gu, but also broke the four major battalions of Tule, okay!"
He Gong also walked over: "I have written in the three provinces, and all the soldiers who participated in the war this time have been promoted to the first level of merit, and they will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars." ”
"The Hou Ye has made outstanding achievements and won countless victories, if there is no accident, this title should also be moved."
Fan Wenshao came over with a booklet in his hand, and also congratulated Su Lu and said: "This is a booklet for meritorious service, do you want to take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we will add it." ”
Su Lu took the booklet and flipped through it, his face became ugly.
"What about the fallen soldiers, is there no pension for the fallen soldiers?"
He Gong and Lin Tong were stunned for a moment at the same time, and Fan Wenshao said hesitantly on the side: "There is no such practice in the army, Master Hou, I usually don't ask about the death." ”
He Gong patted Fan Wenshao's shoulder and spoke.
"Sit down first, Master Hou fought all night yesterday, and he is not light, so sit down first."
Su Lu sat down on the chair, read the booklet again, and said after careful consideration: "I have no opinion on the soldiers' request for merit from me, I just want to know, how the camp is going to compensate the fallen soldiers?" ”
The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, you haven't spoken for a long time.
In the end, Lin Tong spoke: "The three provinces will definitely not take out this silver, otherwise, this time to defeat the Tule army, our army has obtained a lot of horses and materials, including hundreds of thousands of taels of silver looted by Tule, take out half of it, for the pension of the fallen soldiers, what do you think?" ”
Su Lu nodded and looked at Fan Wenshao: "I also hope that Lord Fan will sort out the list of pensions for the fallen soldiers as soon as possible, prepare the pension silver and materials, and I will take their robes and send these down." ”
Lin Tong's face was stunned: "The materials will also be sent!" ”
Su Lu's eyes narrowed: "Of course the materials must be distributed, otherwise how can a mere hundreds of thousands of taels of silver be enough for a life."
For you, the death of a soldier is just a number in the military book, for their families. That's the breadwinner of the house is gone, and this little silver is enough for something. ”
Lin Tong wanted to say something, but He Gong waved his hand to stop him, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Lord Hou's request seems to be for the families of the fallen soldiers, but in fact, it is not for our camp."
"The death of a soldier, that is the grief of a family, there are more and more wars in the future, and more and more people are dying, if the morale of the army changes, it will be difficult for us to fight.
Hou Ye's request is exactly the way to unite the army's heart, a good way. We will take the money and the supplies. If there is any blame in the upper three provinces, I will bear it. ”
Lin Tong wanted to say something more, but when he saw the tears in He Gan's eyes, he immediately made a wise choice and agreed.
"The general is right, Master Hou is also thinking about the camp, treat the dead soldiers better, and the morale of the team will definitely be much higher."
Su Lu glanced at He Gong suspiciously, a little strange, why did Old Man He suddenly change his words, seeing that there were tears in his eyes, could it be that he had experienced this kind of experience.
He Gong continued: "The matter of the compensation for the fallen soldiers, it will be arranged by Hou Ye, Hou Ye loves soldiers like children, I believe that Hou Ye will not do anything on this." ”
"Master Hou came here, he must have wanted to ask about the Governor of the Left Army?"
He Gong continued.
Su Lu nodded, even if you continue to let me be the governor of the left army, I will have no problem with giving me 4,000 people, but now I have a title as the governor of the army, but only one army to command, what is a few meanings.
Lin Tong strode to the back of the handsome case, pulled out the defense map, and pointed to the left and said.
"Hou Ye, please see, this is the area that the Left Route Army needs to sweep, starting from Beiyang, crossing the Maya Pass, entering Beizheng, to Suozibao, Gongqianguan, what are the characteristics?"
Su Lu glanced at it and said, "One horse and one river, except for a few cities, is basically unobstructed. ”
Lin Tong patted his thigh and said proudly: "Master Hou, if you give you an army of cavalry, can you rush to Gongqian Pass for one day and one night?" ”
Su Lu silently calculated, and said after consideration: "There is no problem in rushing, but the horses are estimated to be exhausted, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is ......."
"I'm afraid the combat effectiveness will be even more terrifying."
Lin Tong said, his face was full of flying looks.
"With last night's battle, I believe that as long as Tule is not stupid in the right wing, he will know that the generals of Hou Ye, whether they are tired, defeated, or victorious, are not comparable to ordinary generals, and he must be extremely wary of the soldiers you lead."
He Gong next to him continued: "One day and night, he hurried to the Gongqian Pass, and then attacked the city overnight, broke his Gongqian Pass, and cut off the way for his Tule army to return north, I don't believe that he is not afraid." ”
Lin Tong put away the defense map, sat down next to Su Lu, and said proudly:
"This is Yangmou, what can he do if he sees it in the right compartment, Lao Tzu just wants to do this, so that he is always scared, afraid that he will be cut off by Hou Ye."
He Gong was a little pity: "Our army still has too few cavalry, and it is not easy to gather 4,000."
Su Luxin said in his heart, you two really look up to me, and continued to ask: "In this case, where is our army's garrison?" ”
He Gong picked up a military booklet and handed it to Su Lu: "In the past few days, the Right Route Army and the Chinese Army will be drawn one after another, and when we sweep away Yanzhou and Xitunling, Master Hou, you will directly enter Beizheng and take Beizheng County as quickly as possible." ”
Su Lu nodded, and took Beizheng as fast as possible, which is equivalent to telling Thule that I can take Beizheng by marching in half a day.
If you start from Beizheng and then go to Gongqian Pass, how many distances are there? The pressure on Thule must be greater, and on the line between Xitunling and Yuci, Tulle's army will shrink even more.
Su Lu got up and saluted the two generals with fists: "Since this is the case, the last general will go back to prepare, wait for the army to start, and march on a certain day." ”
