Somehow, Gao Qiqian felt a coldness rushing up from his back, his face changed several times in an instant, and asked, "Mo Li, our family asks you, if it weren't for Zu Zhentai leading the army to arrive in time, would you still have the opportunity to stand in front of our family?" ”

"No, you can't. {(八{一Chinese )}>.) 8)1]Z〉}.>COM" Mo Li replied very simply, although he didn't know what Gao Qiqian meant by asking, but he also told the truth, if there was no reinforcements from Zu Dacheng, he would definitely be unable to escape death, and the new Liao army would probably cease to exist from now on.

"If it weren't for Zuzhentai, would the rebels be able to retreat?" Gao Qiqian asked again.

"I can't."

"Since the rebels did not retreat because of your new Liao army, and your life was saved by Zu Zhentai, let me ask you, what is wrong with our family giving this credit to Zu Zhentai? Why did it come to your mouth and become our family to rob you of your military merits? Gao Qi said with a dark face.

If it weren't for the general army of Zu to lead the troops to help, you wouldn't even have your life, what would you disbelieve!

"This ......" Mo Li was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Ma Dan, I didn't expect to fall into the language trap of Gao Qiqian, a thief and eunuch! Mo couldn't help but curse himself.

Gao Qiqian's words sound reasonable, without flaws, and it is impossible to refute it for a while.

Sighing secretly, Mo Li slowed down his tone and said: "My father-in-law is reasonable, but the general has not thought it through, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me." ”

"Forget it, our family doesn't care about you, I hope your new Liao army can continue to share the worries of the Son of Heaven and exterminate the Confucian rebels as soon as possible. As for what happened just now, General Mo, I won't take it as an example! Gao Qiqian said in a pinch tone.

With that, Gao Qiqian turned around, turned on his horse, and wanted to enter the city.

"Father-in-law, slow down!"

Mo Li suddenly stopped Gao Qiqian again.

"What else do you have to do?" Gao Qiqian's face was ugly, and he was already extremely impatient.

Zu Dacheng, Tao Kewang, Xu Congzhi and others also looked at Mo Li in confusion, how can this girl be so ignorant, if you really anger Gonggong Gao, do you think that the remnants of your New Liao Army can really resist tens of thousands of troops?

Guan Feng, Ma Jinzhong and others were also a little confused about what the general was going to do for a while.

Only Liang Peijun seems to understand something, that is-grain and grass!

Sure enough, Mo Li spoke: "Regarding the matter of war exploits, since my father-in-law is in charge, the last general can no longer reason with my father-in-law, but what the last general doesn't understand is that since the imperial court transferred my new Liao army to my father-in-law's account to quell the rebellion together, why didn't my father-in-law provide food and grass for my new Liao army all the way?" Isn't my New Liao Army the army of the imperial court, not the army of the Son of Heaven? ”

"This ......" Gao Qiqian was speechless for a while, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said insincerely: "As long as General Mo Shen does not pull the flag to rebel, it is naturally the army of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's guard, as for the grain and grass, it is not that our family does not want to provide it, but it is really a shortage of grain and grass recently, and this is snowing heavily, and our family can't raise it!" ”

"Can't raise it? Does the father-in-law mean that he is going to starve our brothers to death? Mo Li's teeth gritted loudly, damn, do you really want to force yourself to rebel?

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that our family will still coax you! Gao Qiqian said unhappily: "Things can be eaten indiscriminately, words can't be said indiscriminately, everyone is the army of the imperial court, and they are all on errands for the Son of Heaven, will I still be biased and lose you!" ”

"You! ......" Mo Li was angry for a while.

Xu Congzhi was about to say that Laizhou City could provide food and grass for the new Liao army, but Gao Qiqian waved his hand and said: "Okay, quickly gather your subordinates and treat the wounded, as for the rebels' prisoners and things, you can leave it alone, and leave it to the chief soldier Zu to clean it up!" By the way, in order to prevent the rebels from sneaking up at night again, your new Liao army will be stationed in Chenjiayu over there! The Laizhou military camp can't accommodate so many soldiers and horses, Vice General Tao, your Lu army will be aggrieved and temporarily stationed on the spot......"

"Grandpa Gao!"

Mo took a step forward, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, and his voice raised by one decibel: "We fought this battle, even if we don't have military merits, don't we even have our share of the spoils!" ”

Gao Qiqian pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, is there any misunderstanding between General Mo Shen?" Our family saw that your new Liao army was tired, so we asked General Zu to send someone to help you clean up the battlefield, don't you don't know the hearts of good people! ”

After that, Gao Qiqian said to Xu Congzhi in a sharp voice: "Vice General Xu, it's getting dark, take us into the city to bake a fire!" Why the hell is this weather, why is it so cold......"

Xu Congzhi's mouth opened, wanting to say that Laizhou City could accommodate the new Liao army and the Lu army to be temporarily stationed for a while, but Gao Qiqian repeatedly urged him to return to the city, but his heart was sudden, but he didn't say anything more, and immediately led Gao Qiqian and the soldiers of the Beijing camp towards Laizhou City in front.

While Zu Dacheng ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, he collected those war horses, weapons, grain and grass and other booty.

The generals of the new Liao army were about to burst into flames when they saw it, but they had no way to do it. Because if you do it now, the new Liao army is undoubtedly looking for death.

The brothers finally picked up a life, and it was not worth losing their lives in order to be angry with Gao Qiqian, a thief and eunuch.

After half a day of bloody fighting, there were only 1,100 cavalry left in the New Liao Army, and most of them were wounded, while those who surrendered killed nearly 1,900 people, and more than half of them were killed or wounded.

The only consolation is that almost no one escaped.

Chenjiayu is still six or seven miles away from here, so he has to hurry over and set up camp.

The generals have brought people to collect the remnants of the soldiers, of course, including those brothers who died in battle, and now they may not be able to send them back to their hometowns for burial, so they can only find a better place in the annex to bury them together.

Hu Yiniu, Song Fei, Zhao Duobao and other former rebels were also assisting the generals to collect the remnants of the army at this time, and they were all remnants of the infantry grassroots officers after this bloody battle.

Gao Qiqian did not let the New Liao Army capture the spoils of war, but the New Liao Army's own war horse materials had to be taken away, Mo Li didn't say a word, and took the lead in carrying the corpses of his comrades who died in the battle, and stacked them on dozens of carriages.

Although the generals were unwilling, they saw that the generals had begun to carry the bodies of their comrades-in-arms, so they naturally had to take action.

At this time, Gao Qiqian had already entered the city with Xu Congzhi, and even if there was any unwillingness, it was in vain.

After working for half a day, the battlefield was finally cleaned up, and the new Liao army rushed to Chenjiayu overnight to station.

Although Gao Qiqian said that the New Liao Army was not allowed to collect the spoils of war, the soldiers of the New Liao Army naturally would not be so honest and meticulous in execution, and when collecting the remains of their own soldiers and lost war horses, the New Liao Army still collected a lot of war horses and some grain and grass.

Zu Dachengbu also didn't see this. After all, people fought hard for a long time, but in the end, the military exploits became their own, and they couldn't even take away the loot, which was too ruthless. Although he didn't mean to snatch it, Zu Dacheng was still a little embarrassed in his heart. Therefore, they turned a blind eye to the behavior of the new Liao army.

The new Liao army's own original war horses were killed, wounded and scattered, about 300 were recovered, and the rest were recovered, and more than 800 war horses lost by the rebels were also collected, and now there are more than 2,700 war horses.

There was also some food, enough for about 3,000 people to eat for four or five days.

As for the casualties on both sides, the New Liao Army had a total of more than 3,500 killed, and those who survived were basically wounded, leaving more than 2,900 people.

That is to say, the current new Liao army can almost be reorganized into an all-cavalry army with almost one person and one horse. Of course, the premise is that those who surrender must first learn to ride horses.

Some of the rebels escaped, countless were wounded, and more than 7,600 were killed.

After a bloody battle for a long time, the soldiers were already physically exhausted and exhausted, but Mo Li and the others had no sleep. After arranging the sentry to scout the horses as usual, Mo Li and Guan Feng and other generals gathered together, nibbling on a bowl of porridge while discussing the next countermeasures.

"My lord, it seems that Grandpa Gao is not going to let us go, what should we do?" Guan Feng said first.

Hearing this, Li Guo also said angrily: "That's it! Looking at his arrogance just now, I really want to cut that thief and eunuch with a knife! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you really cut that guy with a knife, I'm afraid we will all have to lie here, how can we talk about exterminating the rebels, how can we talk about driving out the Tartars?" Mo Li smiled.

"Husband, you can still laugh! I was scared to death by you just now! I thought you were really going to cut the high dive! Liang Peijun whispered on the side.

Mo Li doesn't have much machismo, and sometimes he will involve Liang Peijun in some discussions or decisions. He thinks that women have women's advantages, as well as women's unique perspectives and angles to look at problems, and sometimes they may have a good enlightening effect on everyone.

"Madam, I think that if I had a fight with Gao Qiqian's bird eunuch at that time, it would not necessarily be a bad thing, at least I could have this evil breath! Damn, our brothers fought for life and death, but the credit became his ancestor's achievement! What a bastard thing this is! Xiao Yang stood up, waved his fist fiercely and said.

Mo Li kicked him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! If that's the case, it's happy, but no one for our brothers to collect the corpses! ”

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "General, weren't you quite ruthless just now, you actually dared to scold the Jingying Admiral Eunuch to his face for being blind, it is estimated that there is no second person in this world!" This momentum, this Wang Ba's spirit, is too good! The brothers are all impressed with you! ”

"Admire the balls! Lao Tzu was bleeding for a while...... Mo Li scolded with a smile: "Thanks to the presence of Lu Bing, who was Deputy General Tao, and the defenders of Laizhou City, who were still present at that time, where else could I eat and drink here now?" ”

At this time, Ma Jinzhong said: "General, we don't have much food and grass anymore, let alone eating and drinking, even if we just ensure the rations of the soldiers, it can only last for four days at most!" What to do? We've got to think of a solution! ”

Mo Li said lightly: "Didn't we send someone to buy grain...... By the way, Xiaobei, why hasn't there been any news from the people sent to buy grain? ”
