Chapter 4: Enmity and Enmity (Part 4)

In this battle, 3,000 enemies were killed, and more than 5,000 soldiers below the enemy's commander were captured, but his own losses were less than 400. For the Zhaozhou battalion, it can be said that it has never been a big victory since its establishment. When the results of the battle were counted, the entire barracks immediately thundered with joy.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty's military merit calculation, those who break the battle first will be recorded as the first merit, and the merit will be transferred twice, and the reward will be ten hangings. Those who behead the third level before the battle will be honored and rewarded with five hangings. If the decapitation is not enough, it can be recorded in the book and accumulated in the next battle. Or convert the reward to offset it. Merit for capturing an enemy is calculated in the same way as a decapitation. And the Zhaozhou battalion only dispatched 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to a small fortune for everyone on average, so it is no wonder that the brothers are unhappy.

Wang Fei was placed in the second attack echelon during the battle, and basically didn't get any decent opponents. But he was a smart man, and when he saw that the benefits of leading the army to break the formation did not fall on his head, he immediately turned to the second. He led his troops and horses back to the enemy's flank and blocked thousands of prisoners. After some calculation, he deserves no less credit than Zhang Jin and others. Therefore, he felt that his waist was hard, and he was a little proud when he spoke. "Look, look, that's what wars call war. Old Dou, that guy, thought that with just one mouth, he could fool the world. We'll teach him a lesson this time, hehe. Let him regret going. It's too late to regret it, and there's nowhere to find medicine to eat! ”

"It's that, it's that. Fighting with General Cheng is enjoyable! A pawn who had just been recruited from Shanxi to the Zhaozhou battalion not long ago echoed with a heavy local accent.

"Back then, we shouldn't have taken refuge in Dou Jiande. That guy is not a person who has achieved great things at all! "Someone remembered the past and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice." If only the head of the sect had taken us back then......."

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Fei immediately interrupted vigilantly. "The head of the sect is now the head of Datang's Zhaozhou, sooner or later, one day, we can take back Zhaozhou!"

"Of course!" The crowd chimed in. The battle was won, and everyone was very happy. Inevitably, there are more expectations for the future. If it continues like this, it is estimated that it will not take too long to recover Yuzhou? Pacifying the whole of Hebei may be a matter of one or two years. The head of the sect continues to make meritorious contributions, and everyone is rising to the top. Hehe, after being a bandit for so many years, he was able to win a small fortune in the end. I really have to wake up laughing when I dream about it.

Among a group of elated people, Zhang Jin, Tu Ying, and Liu Qiqi were extremely lonely. The battle was won, and they were the first wave to attack the enemy's ranks, and they should be the first in terms of merit. Coupled with the capture of the enemy commander, it is estimated that at least one of the three will step into the ranks of generals in the near future.

However, several of them were not happy. On the contrary, I felt an indescribable tiredness all over my body.

For more than a year, everyone has worked hard to improve their martial arts, practicing mutual cooperation on the battlefield day and night, in order to avenge Wang Fubao. Now, the chance for revenge has finally arrived. Instead, they suddenly felt a little confused. Killing Dou Jiande's supporters and venting hatred is certainly hearty, but what about after the hearty? Immediately, the heart becomes empty, as if there is nothing left.

"Help, help me!" Zhang Jin's ears kept haunting the young soldier's dying voice. Dou Jiande forced Wang Fubao to death, so Dou Jiande deserves to die. And in order to avenge Wang Fubao, everyone killed more innocent people. So, what is the difference between everyone's behavior and Dou Jiande's behavior? If the families of the innocent want revenge, who do they go to?

A series of questions weighed on Zhang Jin's heart, and he could barely breathe. He tried to talk to someone, but found himself out of step with his surroundings. The only thing that can have a common language is the same Avengers. But several other people were just like him, their eyes were full of exhaustion and confusion.

At this moment, the joy of victory does not belong to them. The desire to be rewarded for meritorious service and to be crowned a wife and a son seems to have nothing to do with them. They live for the sole purpose of revenge. But in human life, there is not only hatred!

Han Shiwang is timid and has no big ambitions. But this time, he followed closely behind Wang Fei, and he also made a lot of money. Looking at Zhang Jin and the others, who were standing outside the tent of the Chinese army without much joy on their faces, they secretly pulled down Wang Fei's arm and muttered in a low voice: "Why doesn't Zhang Tou seem to be happy?" Even Koji Liang was caught for him, why is he still not satisfied! ”

"Ignore him. That man can't hold anything but hatred in his heart! Wang Fei glanced in the direction of the Chinese army and said coldly.

"Hey! Why bother? Aren't we living more nourishing now than we were under the old sinus tent? Han Shiwang shrugged his shoulders and said contentmently. Including our Cheng Jiaotou, now the deployment of troops is more open than back then! ”

"Of course!" Wang Fei felt the same way about this, "Once we lost the battle back then, the lives of tens of thousands of people would be cut off. Therefore, the head of the sect does not look anxious on the surface, but he must have some scruples in his heart. And now, with our backs to Datang, what can we do if we lose a battle occasionally? After replenishing the equipment of the soldiers and horses, it is to get it back again! ”

"yes, yes!" Han Shiwang nodded again and again. "The Tang Kingdom is rich. You see, our armor equipment is all brand new. If you are still mixing under Dou Jiande, I'm afraid that you will expect Dou Jiande to send us equipment, and if we don't provide him with him, we will burn high incense! ”

"Hmm. So, the head of the sect is the right one. Back then, Mr. Zhang said that if you defect to someone, you have to take refuge under a high roof. People won't guard you everywhere! Wang Fei smiled and lowered his voice a little to summarize.

Not only did he and Han Shiwang feel the changes up and down the Zhaozhou battalion. The other brothers, to a greater or lesser extent, also noticed something. Everyone exchanged heads and came to the conclusion that the future is getting brighter and brighter. I forgot about my wife and children when I was leaving, and turned to actively plan for the next step of the army.

A few people were extremely optimistic, and simply suggested that Cheng Mingzhen strike while the iron was hot, take Dou Jiande's nest Yongnian in one fell swoop, and lead everyone to establish immortal achievements. However, some people are more cautious and suggest that Cheng Mingzhen accept it when he sees it, so as not to force Dou Jiande to return to his teacher in a hurry to bite back.

All the suggestions of everyone, Cheng Mingzhen happily wrote them down. The Zhaozhou battalion is a whole, and it is also the foundation of his future foothold in Datang. So he tried everything that could make the people below feel a sense of belonging. However, when it comes to his next step, he has his own ideas and is not allowed to be influenced by any outside world.

This eastward advance, the imperial court did not set any specific goals for the Yuzhou battalion. Therefore, for Cheng Mingzhen, this battle was actually a test of strength arranged by the Tang Dynasty for the Zhaozhou battalion. If the results of the battle are not very satisfactory, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the whole battalion to get a chance to perform for a long time in the future. If the results of the battle are too ideal, I am afraid that many troubles will follow, making him, the chief manager of Zhaozhou, in a dilemma.

As a young man in his early twenties, it is impossible for Cheng Mingzhen not to have the desire to further his fame and wealth. But as the leader of the Green Forest who has endured hardships, he has an extraordinary caution in his heart. In other words, he doesn't want to lose what he currently has. Even if it's a short sacrifice for a bigger goal. At the same time, he doesn't want to lose himself in the ups and downs of officialdom. For him, rather than being a vassal under a certain strong man, in order to soar in the future, it is far less than grasping what he has in front of him, and he wants to have no worries about food and clothing.

From the words that Pei Lin said when he was leaving, as well as his own personal observation in the recent period, Cheng Mingzhen found a very mysterious thing. That is, the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in jeopardy. The King of Qin, who had never met him, was far above the crown prince in terms of personal bravery, decisiveness and ability to envelop generals. And he is known for his skills, and it is difficult for those who oppose him to end well.

In this case, Cheng Mingzhen has to be careful. It was not easy for him to get the prince to give up his wooing, so in a short period of time, he didn't want to make any more limelight to attract the attention of the other party. Moreover, he didn't want King Qin to notice him. Although that person is now wise and far-reaching, for a person like Cheng Mingzhen, who has no brothers in the family and attaches great importance to flesh and blood affection, many of King Qin's behaviors make it very difficult for him to agree.

After two backlashes with Zhang Jincheng and Dou Jiande, now he will never hand over his fate to others no matter what. He doesn't want to belong to anyone, he belongs only to himself. Even if you choose this way, your career will be bumpy, your position will be lower, and it is better to look up to people all the time.

Based on the above reasons, this battle for the eastward advance needs to be carefully grasped. It is necessary to make the Tang Dynasty court feel that it is really not a loss to recruit the Zhaozhou camp. At the same time, it was not possible to achieve too prominent results, so that the crown prince or the king of Qin was tempted by the camp of Zhaozhou.

There can be no second such devastating victory as today's. Otherwise, it must attract the prying eyes of others. But how to make the battalion inconspicuous and ensure the safety of everyone? It seems difficult to strike a balance between the two.

Before he could figure out how to move, Wang Ermao had already broken in. When he walked to the handsome case, he didn't salute. grabbed the helmet, buckled it on the handsome case, and said angrily: "Don't hesitate here, someone has already done it for you in the next battle." Hurry up and beat the drums, tomorrow night, we will be able to drink celebration wine in Anyang City! ”

"You mean to take advantage of the power of the great victory and go straight to the county town of Anyang?!" Cheng Ming shook his head for a moment, but he didn't expect Wang Ermao's meritorious service to be so eager.

"What kind of direct attack, if we want to fight, someone must be willing to lead troops to defend the city! Grandma's, these rotten people, it's not interesting to fight with them, if you really win! Wang Ermao shook his head and said very depressedly.

"What's wrong? Koji Ryu is ready to make a meritorious service and persuade the defenders of the city? Cheng Mingzhen paused again and asked with a smile.

Wang Ermao shook his head and sneered, "No, the son-in-law he fled from the battlefield turned back halfway." Take the initiative to ask the city to surrender and redeem the life of the old man! This time, you don't have to think about how to control the results. Good luck comes, the city walls can't stop it! ”
