Chapter 56: After the War

Wei Xu cautiously stepped forward and dismounted and bowed: "Jiuyuan Xiaomin Wei Xu pays a visit to Duan Gong. ”

Duan Cheng personally stepped forward to support Wei Xu and said happily: "Tanma has already told me everything, amazing, young hero." Duan Cheng saw them as if he saw his past self, his first battle to emerge was also to fight the Xianbei people, he was just a personal commander of the army to rush and kill, and this group of young people actually fought a wave of counter-charge against the cavalry of 4,000 people, is it terrible in the future, or is the front wave dying on the beach?

Duan Cheng hoped that it was the latter, he was old, the Han border had repeatedly rebelled, and the Han needed excellent generals loyal to the empire, and Duan Cheng looked at it, most of them were people from the family, Duan Cheng didn't trust them very much, and the children of the North who were also from Jiangmen naturally made Duan Cheng have a lot of good feelings.

Duan Gong praised ...... "Wei Xu was so boasted about by the number one god of war today, he felt a little shy and blushed.

Duan Cheng patted him on the shoulder, took the treasure knife made by the Shaofu craftsmen held by the Yulin Army and gave it to Wei Xu, and replaced the sword in his hand that was already full of gaps: "Now the military situation is urgent, in terms of meritorious deeds, there must be more after this battle, Wei Xiaoying will take Captain Xia's five hundred cavalry to the east to outflank, Captain Tian to outflank from the west, I will lead the infantry to defend the mountain pass, and we must not let the Xianbei people escape, especially across the Great Wall!" ”

"No!"

"My lord, the Xianbei people have withdrawn, they have withdrawn!" The old and young on the city wall cheered, and even the wounded soldiers struggled to their feet, watching the Xianbei people begin to flee in all directions, and they survived.

The county commander shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, leaving half of the song and the wounded soldiers to guard the city walls and gates, and the others are riding horses to chase the enemy!" After such a big victory, do you want me to tell me how much those heads are worth? ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, hurriedly ran down the city wall, looked for it from everywhere with a bloodthirsty face, whether it was borrowed or borrowed, got a horse and turned over, roared out of the city gate, and rushed out of the city gate to the Xianbei people who fled like rabbits, and those without horses only stamped their feet and cleaned the battlefield under the city.

Since the Xianbei people have caused trouble on the northern border of the Han Dynasty and it has intensified, the Han Court has specially offered them a lot of rewards, and now their roles have been reversed, and no one in the border county who has a deep blood feud against the Xianbei people is unwilling to fight, if the head of the leader of the invaders is cut off this time, with such merit, the lucky person can jump from a civilian to a county lieutenant of a gorgeous transformation.

Everyone wants to live a good life, and now the opportunity is in front of you, if other people lead the army, everyone's enthusiasm may not be so great, but Duan Cheng's reputation for caring for soldiers and loving soldiers like sons can be said to be real in the world. The corruption of the political and civil officials of the Han Dynasty naturally spread to the army, and the reason why Liangzhou rebelled repeatedly was that it was defeated from time to time. On what?

It's not all because those already corrupt armies, in order to prove that they have won the battle, often falsely report how many beheadings they have beheaded, and they will not tell the story of the defeat. The soldiers toiled, were disgruntled, were trapped by treacherous officials, could not enter the fast battle to gain fame, could not retreat to have food and clothing to survive, and the heroic and righteous soldiers who enlisted in the army and the soldiers at the bottom starved to death in the ditch, and the corpses were everywhere.

In such a situation, who else is willing to go out to conquer outside the fortress as soon as the Han army said as before, and the heroes of the Quartet brought their own food and weapons to go out with the army, pursuing the gorgeous transformation of the nobles with military merits. Generals have become incompetent, soldiers have become afraid of death, and local rangers would rather collude with the government than go on another expedition.

The war ended soon, except for the patriarch and a few people who fled, they were basically buried under Jiuyuan City, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield of Siye, and the military judge counted the merits of different people under Jiuyuan City. From time to time, the soldier pulled a Xianbei man who could still breathe, slashed his head, just wrapped the long hair of the Xianbei person, tied it around his waist, and continued to cut off the heads of other people.

War, at all times, is barbaric and bloody. Even if it is a modern war, if you directly fly the stumps of people to the sideways, or atomize them on the wall like steam, is that civilization? No, they are even ten thousand times more cruel than ancient wars.

Han Cheng Qin system, beheading can be knighted. The permanent military merit field is gone, but there are still a lot of rewards and titles to be promoted, and the commissions of the titles can make their families exempt from levies and taxes. So they cut hard.

Military judges usually turn a blind eye to this kind of not very serious act of killing prisoners, soldiers need military merits, the court needs glorious achievements to announce to the world, and military judges are usually not so unkind.

"Your nationality?" Another military judge counts the identities of the poor Han Chinese slaves, most of whom may be sent back to their hometowns to be reunited with their families.

"I ...... Distant...... Dongjun people ...... "This poor slave has been plundered for a long time, and he has not spoken Chinese for a long time, and can only remember to speak intermittently.

"Old general......" Xu Zhi got up neatly, and one arm was tied with a comminuted fracture. looked at Duan Cheng who came excitedly.

Duan Cheng felt that this person was very familiar, but he forgot what his surname was: "You are?" ”

"In the Battle of Fengyi, General Ji Ming's rash general and others suddenly attacked the Qiang people and beheaded more than 8,000 people, and obtained 280,000 cattle, horses and sheep. At that time, the last general was still the general's minions, and he was on your left when he charged. ”

"Xu Zhi!" Duan Cheng's mind came to mind the little soldier who was terrified twelve years ago, but he stubbornly charged with Duan Cheng.

"The old general still remembers the last general!" Xu Zhi was relieved, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses led by the old general, and it was an honor to be remembered.

Duan Cheng also sighed a little, it was extremely happy for Duan Cheng to meet the deceased, and how many of the soldiers under his account had to be returned...... The little soldier has become a captain in a border town, and he is dying.

Duan Cheng said with concern: "Your hand is ......"

Xu Zhi sighed and pleaded: "The last general is incompetent, and the city gate was attacked by the Xianbei people, so he had to form a hard battle against the Xianbei cavalry, if it wasn't for the old general's timely help, Jiuyuan would have been broken......"

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, you can learn lessons, and you can only use them yourself, but don't be slumped!" Duan Cheng's words were a bit serious, and his words were not only with Xu Zhi, but also with Xia Yu and Tian Yan, who had weathered their sideburns behind him.

Xu Zhi said solemnly: "No! The last general will definitely learn a lesson and no longer be careless. ”

Duan Cheng patted his intact left shoulder: "Take care of your injuries, Jiuyuan City still needs you ......"
