Killing prisoners is unlucky, killing and surrendering is ominous, this truth is naturally clear to Pei Cai, according to his original intention, he did not want to slaughter all the foreigners, and he did not even intend to drive them into slavery - if Shi Le was not a slave, maybe he would not be a horse thief, and he would not rebel, there has always been oppression and resistance. However, in a fierce battle yesterday, the soldiers who had painstakingly cultivated and trained by themselves suffered many casualties, and they were inevitably resentful, and after seeing those dead and wounded soldiers, the generals of the other battalions also cut their teeth, and the real people's hearts and morale were irreversible. There are only more than 300 foreigners on the left and right, and they are not civilians, they are all soldiers, so let's just pull them over and cut them down.

What else? Indulgence is to drive the fish into the abyss and take it for yourself...... I don't have the will to recruit foreign soldiers on a large scale at the moment, and besides, I can't say if I can use it.

So with an order, more than 300 captives were tied up, gagged and escorted over, and then they fell down in front of the corpses of their own army, and then the long knives fell one after another, and the heads rolled all over the ground - all the remnants of the "martial arts battalion" were executed, and Lu He originally wanted to go up, but unfortunately his body was sore, and his arms could not be lifted, so he had to give up.

More than 300 headless corpses fell, blood flowed sideways, and gradually turned into a stream, and several scribes couldn't help but covet it. Pei Gai instructed Pei Lian: "Take a lamp of blood." Pei Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he felt that his calves were a little trembling, and he couldn't take a step. Zhen Sui next to him was impatient, snatched the wine cup in his hand, strode forward, lifted a Qiang corpse with one hand, put the wine cup close to his neck, and the "goo" ground was full of blood, turned around and held it with both hands, and presented it to Pei Gai: "Please Du Du Sheng!" ”

Pei Cai couldn't help but trample 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart...... Who did I rely on to say that I was going to drink human blood, did you think I was a vampire?! I did tell you, "Hunger for meat, thirst for blood." "That's just literary rhetoric, you coarse! Even Yue Pengju, who said this, had never really drunk human blood or eaten human flesh!

immediately glared at Zhen Sui fiercely, took the wine cup with one hand, and then ordered: "Take a flower flag." There was a soldier of the "Wulin Battalion" who handed over a battalion flag to Gao Le, and Gao Le held it in both hands, and the column was on Pei Gai's side. Pei Gai raised his hand suddenly, and the blood in the lamp immediately surged out, and the "brush" splashed on the flag fluttering in the wind, leaving a long red mark.

"Death is lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai, die for the country, and be ambitious! Hunting with a banner, the will cannot be taken, and the blood left behind will not be wiped out; Famous in history, passed down through the ages! ”

From Gao Le, Lu He and below, all the generals of the "Wulin Battalion" bowed down on one knee and shouted: "Xie Du Du gives the flag - we will die for the Du Du and avenge our comrades!" Liu Yetang, Zhen Sui and others next to him all showed envy.

Pei Cai casually threw away the wine cup, supported Lu He with both hands to get up, and suddenly heard Pei Wei say: "Envoy, the dark clouds are closed, I'm afraid I want rain." ”

Pei Gai raised his head and looked into the air, and sure enough, he saw the thick clouds rolling, like countless monsters with teeth and claws, and the sky was obviously darkened. The tears that he had been holding in his eyes couldn't help but roll down, so he didn't care about his demeanor, and immediately opened his arms and shouted to the sky: "Look, the heroes are sorry, even God is going to cry!" ”

——————————

Although this time the killing of prisoners and sacrificing the flag is not just a show, half of it is pure true feelings, but he also knows that relying on spiritual demagogy alone, without material rewards, the military spirit cannot be firm, and morale cannot be maintained for a long time.

Therefore, after returning to the big tent, he asked Pei Wei to count the merits as soon as possible, and give additional rewards: all the soldiers who participated in the battle should have one more meritorious service, five more for the dead, and three for the disabled. Immediately ordered the bones of the dead to be collected, and the soldiers of the left and right battalions of "Wulin" led by Lu He and Xiong Yizhi were escorted back to Xuzhou by boat, and they must be sent to their homes one by one, and they were buried in a good place.

But after the order was delivered, Lu He resolutely refused to leave, saying that although he was injured and out of strength, he would be able to recover as long as he rested for two more days, and hoped to follow the governor to continue fighting, kill Hu Po, and avenge Paoze. So in the end, about 500 soldiers who were lightly injured in the left and right battalions were all left, and then the new soldiers summoned by Waihuang a few days ago were added, which was still a battalion number, commanded by Lu He.

As for the corpses of those Hu Lu, Pei Wei suggested piling them up into a "Jingguan" to show off their martial might and deter the small group.

The so-called "Jingguan" is to pile up the enemy's corpses into a hill after the victory, and seal it with soil, which is said to have originated from the Zhou Wu King to cut down the Zhou. But Pei Cai felt that this kind of thing was too uncivilized, and ...... Even if the carcasses of cattle and sheep are piled up like this, they are easy to rot and breed plagues. He said to Pei Wei: "Uncle doesn't remember what King Chuzhuang said? ”

According to the record of "Zuo Biography", the king of Chuzhuang broke the Jin division in the battle of Yi, and after the war, the Pan Party asked to collect the corpses of the Jin people and build a Jingguan - "The ministers will show their descendants when they hear that they defeat the enemy, so as not to forget their martial arts." But King Zhuang made a big deal and categorically rejected the proposal.

Pei Wei smiled and said: "Chu Zhuangyun: 'Stop fighting for martial arts', 'Fu Wu, ban violence, soldiers, protect the great, set merit, reassure the people, and the people, and those who are rich and wealthy, so that the descendants will not forget their chapters'." And the clouds, 'Now I have made the two kingdoms violent and violent; Watching the army to deter the princes, the soldiers are not strong. Violent but not aggressive, safe and strong...... Wu has seven virtues, I have no one, how can I show my descendants? ’”

After reciting a book, he then explained: "King Zhuang stopped wanting to dominate the Central Plains, and had no intention of destroying the Jin Dynasty, because he did not want to build a view of Beijing and reinforce the enmity between the two countries." Now the thief has sinned against me, and he has been honored by the name, how can there be any reason for reconciliation? Then the Beijing view can be built. And King Zhuang Youyun: 'The ancients Ming Wang was disrespectful, took his whale salamander and sealed it, thinking that it was a big killing, so there was a Beijing view to punish adultery. Isn't this the same as today's? ”

Pei Gai shook his head, still unable to accept this barbaric method...... The final decision was made: "It is possible to bury his body and pile up high barricades, which is equivalent to Jingguan." ”

Pei Wei said that all the enemy's corpses were buried, and they were not exposed at all, so what was the use? Even if you pile up the earth on top of it, who knows what's underneath - "How can you show off the might of our army and frighten the courage of the captives?" ”

Pei Gai said that it was okay - "Kole stone to remember." Then he spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up the pen, thought about it, and first wrote down three big words: "Zhenhu Tablet".

"Jianxing for three years, in Yihai, Xuzhou Thorn History, Governor Qing Xu Pei, righteous wielding division, in order to chase Hulu, clarify the universe.

"On the twenty-seventh day of October, the second battalion on the right and left of the forward martial arts, but there were only a thousand, and suddenly encountered 100,000 Kou here, and they were outnumbered, and the disparity was very great. However, the loyal ministers, determined to serve the country, the Pixiu people, just unbeatable, the governor Xiong Yizhi, Lu He and below, aiding the drum beating, wearing a strong and stubborn edge, straight to the thief's cave. Kou Youyou persuaded those to surrender, Lu Henai said: 'Hu has never hated not being born in China, how can there be a person who surrenders to Hu in China!' 'Mighty!

"The fierce battle is fierce, the follow-up servants, the blood is poured into the blood, and the flame of Kou is paused. There are 643 martyrs in the service, and the captives are ten times as much, and the corpses are plugged and the water is red! These 600 martyrs, who were captured and died, are the courage of the people, the heroic spirit lives on, and the soul of the country. It is to know that China cannot be humiliated, and Hu Yun will not be able to last long.

"Later, come to lay, the heroic spirit is injected, the sky is crying, and the rainbow runs through the sky, like a flag. It is to erect this monument, long history, Yongzhen Hu atmosphere, protect the foundation of our country! ”

With a wave, he handed it to Pei Wei, and took care of him to find a craftsman to erect a huge monument, engrave this short article on the front, and engrave the names of all the dead soldiers on the back. Pei Wei was stunned for a moment: "All the names? Pei Gai nodded: "All of them are indispensable!" Pei Wei had no choice but to agree, so he lowered his head and recited the short text in his hand again.

This is a hurry, without repeated scrutiny and modification, and the literary style is just neutral - Pei Gai's daily application of the text is quite stable, as for the poetry, if it is not plagiarized, it will be painful, and there are no real literary people under him, so he can't help. Therefore, this article is barely readable, the number of its own troops has shrunk, and it has become "no more than a thousand", and the enemy is too exaggerated, saying that it is "one hundred thousand", and it is also said that "the killing of prisoners is not more than ten times", this is all common sense and common sense to make a fuss, but——

did not mention the word "Jin", let alone Jiankang and Chang'an, there are only two and a half names, that is, Xiong Yizhi, Lu He, and - "Xuzhou Thorn History, Du Du Qing Xu Pei"......

was groaning, and suddenly saw Pei Gai pick up the pen again and write down a line of words: "There is a bear in Xuzhou, and I dare not Ling if I have been captured; There is a land in Xuzhou, and the army will be overthrown! "I want Pei Wei to spread the word in the army, and spread these four words in all directions through business travel.

Pei Wei couldn't help but bow slightly, and said in his heart: "My nephew, it seems that he can play with people's hearts in the palm of his hand......"

——————————

This military was heavy in military affairs, Pei should be busy until late at night, and then he slept for just an hour and a half, and then got up at the third watch, gathered all the generals, and discussed the behavior after entering Yangwu.

According to the original plan, he was to go straight to the Yellow River along Bianshui, block the Yellow River crossing near Aocang, and then return to occupy Xingyang. Zu Ti captured Chenggao Pass before he wanted this, and then the two armies converged and conspired with Henan to restore the old capital Luoyang.

But in this way, after passing Xiao Huang, the next stop is Junyi, who will inevitably collide with Chen Wu. According to Pei Gai's original intention, he didn't want to conflict with Chen Wu, he wanted to have a long way to go, Zu Ti was near, he would inevitably enter Xingyang County first, and when the time came, Chen Wu would not dare to disobey, he would definitely give up Junyi, retreat to Lao Wo Pengguan, and then leave some soldiers and horses to garrison, and lead the main force to see Zu Li...... But why didn't Chen Wu leave? Junyi is not a pass, a famous city - Junyi will become Bianliang and Kaifeng, and it will be a few hundred years later - are you so reluctant?

"Where is Zu Yuzhou?"

Pei Wei replied: "The sentinel came to report, and he should have crossed the Fugou two days ago......"

Zu Ti set off from Qiaocheng, only three hundred miles away from Fugou County, the southernmost county of Chenliu County, and his speed was simply outrageous! However, this is actually not to blame Zu Ti, that is the normal state of military operations in this era - you must know that Zu Ti is different from Pei Gai, the armies of Xuzhou are scattered around Huaiyin, and it is very convenient to mobilize, and Zu Shizhi is in addition to the six or seven thousand people in the headquarters, and the remaining more than 20,000 are owned by Yan and Yu Wubao, which is difficult to assemble, time-consuming and laborious.

is like Hu Hanjun, if Liu Cang didn't allocate all the old, weak, sick and disabled to Liu Yi, and really gave him the elite to fight, even if there were only 30,000 people, it is estimated that he might not be able to cross the Yellow River at this time...... Anyway, it has to be ten days and a half months before it can gather in Pingyang.

And there is still a problem with Zu Ti's military rations......

This year's Yan and Yu are ordinary years, and most of the grain and grass are owned by the dock forts, and the amount controlled by Zu Ti himself is quite limited, which is not enough to support the northern expedition of 30,000 troops. And if it is requisitioned from the dock forts, the people will not be willing to send troops if they give food...... Therefore, it was discussed in advance, Xuzhou was rich in military rations, and Jiangdong could also support some of them, and when it was transferred to Qiaoxian County first, Zu Ti could rebuild the division.

Putting aside the grain and grass in Jiangdong for the time being—most likely a blank check—the grain and grass from Xuzhou were transported from Pengcheng to Qiao, which was not far away. But who would have thought that when passing through Dangshan, the grain team was stopped by Dai Yuan and ordered to be transferred to Suiyang - "The king of the East China Sea is the commander of the whole army, and the grain should be uniformly dispatched by the king." ”

said that it was "unified scheduling", of course, Dai Yuan couldn't reach out to Pei Gai's grain and grass, but Pei should give it to Zu Li, and he would have a chance to rob it. For this reason, the grain truck took a long detour, and when Zu Ti sent people to Suiyang to ask for it, Lu Ye used the excuse that the accounting was not completed, and he did not send it......
