Chapter 1248: Small Flaws
In Shuanglian City, the Ming army attacked the base camp of Yongdu and fell into a sea of joy.
On the second day after Ma Yue was given the head and the remaining Thunder Army laid down their arms and surrendered, Chen Xiufeng, the general of the Qin Army who had been holding on to the palace in Yongdu City, also issued an order to surrender. The entire Yongdu City completely fell into the hands of the Ming army, although there were still sporadic battles in the huge city, and the Ming army was still clearing out some diehards street by street, but on the whole, the war was over.
The soldiers can go home.
Since the Tiger Prison incident, all the soldiers have been here for almost ten months, canceling holidays, canceling family visits, and spending every day on nerves, and now, everything is over. The fighters can return home with the joy of victory and, of course, a fruitful harvest.
Outside the Shuanglian City, there were people singing and dancing everywhere, and around the bonfires, there were smiling soldiers, and even in the wounded barracks, they were laughing.
All the wounded soldiers have a consensus, that is, as long as they are not killed on the spot and carried into the wounded barracks, then there is a good chance of survival.
The lightly injured ones couldn't help but walk out of the wounded barracks to join the joyful crowd, and the seriously injured ones were lying on the sick and unable to move, and they were also giggling with their mouths wide open, chattering endlessly to tell their stories to the medical staff who cared for them.
The joy was infecting everyone, and even the losers who were lying in the wounded barracks felt inexplicably relaxed.
Yes, the war is over!
There was no imaginary abuse and bullying, these wounded soldiers of the Qin State received preferential treatment that they themselves could not imagine, serious treatment, careful care, and the same wounded meals as the soldiers of the Ming army.
Those Qin soldiers who were not seriously injured also walked out of the wounded barracks, and saw that the food of the Ming soldiers on guard outside the wounded barracks was actually worse than that of their wounded soldiers.
The only thing that frightened them was the doctor's method, pouring other people's blood into their own bodies, and stabbing off some soldiers' broken legs and hands mercilessly, it was said that this was to ensure that they would survive, of course, it was not only the wounded soldiers of the Qin State who were treated like this, but also the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with these wounded soldiers, although the other Qin soldiers were separated and detained in the barracks one by one, they only temporarily lost their personal freedom, and in other aspects, they did not have any inconvenience. The officers who manage them are basically officers from the new army of Hujiao or the new army of Qingzhou, although everyone now belongs to two camps, but in the past, they were all from Qin, and some even knew each other, which made it more convenient for everyone to communicate.
And this management method has obviously achieved miraculous results, these officers preached the policy of the Ming Dynasty to these Thunder Army soldiers in the barracks, and the resistance they received was obviously less than that of a soldier in the old battalion of the Ming Army.
Da Ming is already familiar with this method, the wounded barracks are quite calm, and many people even begin to look forward to the day when they will become Da Ming's people in the future, after all, in the mouths of these former colleagues, they have heard a completely different world.
If everything is true, then Da Ming is simply a paradise-like existence.
Compared to the joy of ordinary people, Qin Feng and the senior generals of the army in Shuanglian City all had serious faces. There is only one reason, Ma Chao, the prince of Qin, is gone.
The surrendered army on this side of Shuanglian City has been cleaned up several times, and Ma Chao himself has not been found, the dead Qin army, and the Qin army in the wounded barracks have been screened again and again, and Ma Chao is still missing.
Originally, I thought that Ma Chao would be in Yongdu City, but with Chen Xiufeng's surrender, Yongdu City was completely controlled by the Ming army, and Ma Chao himself was still not found. And what I learned from Chen Xiufeng was that Ma Chao led the Thunder Army out of the city with Ma Yue that day.
As time passed, the formation of the Thunder Army that came to Shuanglian City was also cleared out one by one, and everyone finally discovered a problem, and the whole five thousand Thunder Army disappeared.
The people of Shuanglian City thought that Ma Chao was in Yongdu, and the people of Yongdu City thought that Ma Chao had arrived in Shuanglian City, and both sides fell into a blind spot of thinking, wasting a few days in vain.
After all these investigations were over, the Ming army of Yongdu City began to send a large number of scouts to search around.
Chen Zhihua's face was full of shame, and he was angry, it was originally a flawless battle, but in the end there was such a thing, although it was impossible to change the big victory of Yongdu, but Ma Chao disappeared with such a large army, what kind of hidden dangers will be brought by no one can say now.
Where will he go? What does he want to do?
The people sitting in the room were thinking about this question.
"Your Majesty, Yu Chao and the cavalry of the horse monkey have already dispersed, as long as they find the traces of the other party, they will definitely ...... Must be ......" Chen Zhihua himself felt a little unable to speak. A few days was enough time for Ma Chao to run away with that cavalry without a trace. The territory of the Qin State is vast, much broader than the territory of the Ming State, and there are many places in which there are deserted areas, even if there are people, the Ming Dynasty does not garrison troops, but only sends some officials to take over those places to start the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and wants to completely incorporate these places into the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the true sense, in Qin Feng's opinion, it will take at least a few years to initially let these places know the kingship of the Ming Dynasty.
So even if Yu Chao's wind-chasing battalion is like the wind, it is unlikely that he will be able to catch up with Ma Chao's cavalry. If Ma Chao's cavalry is not exterminated, then the war against Qin will not be over.
This made Chen Zhihua feel not only ashamed of his trust in Qin Feng, but also ashamed of the cheering soldiers outside.
Qin Feng waved his hand at him.
"It's a mistake, but it's not just yours, it's mine. I didn't expect such a problem to arise." Qin Feng sighed: "Now it seems that Ma Yue was premeditated, no wonder he wanted to leave Chen Xiufeng, the general of the Thunder Army, in the city to command those young men, no wonder he was desperate to attack us, no wonder he ordered all the troops in Yongdu City to go out of the city to launch a suicidal attack on our army. We were all wrong."
He sighed: "We all thought that Ma Yue did this because he wanted to be alone, and he wanted to fight for that glimmer of life in his life of nine deaths, but he didn't think like this at all, all his actions were to find a way out for Ma Chao. He personally led the army to Shuanglian and successfully attracted our attention, all the Qin troops in Yongdu City went out of the city to attack our army, originally I thought that he wanted to contain our army outside the city, so that they could not come to Shuanglian City to support, who would have expected, but also to cover Ma Chao's escape."
"He managed to fool all of us!"
Qin Feng looked at everyone in the room with blazing eyes, "The more Ma is dead, the Qin State is dead, but in this last battle, it is this dead man who really wins!" Admire, admire, when you were about to die, you played me a trick."
"Your Majesty, this is just a small section, no matter how cunning he is, he will still die in the hands of my Da Ming. The Qin State no longer exists, even if Ma Chao escapes with a few thousand Thunder Army, but there is no supply, no logistics, no base, it will not last long, as long as his traces are found, Yu Chao and Ma Monkey can always pursue him, drag him to death, consume him to death." He Weiping stood up and said.
"That's what I said, but my heart was a little uneasy. Could it be that Ma Yue spent so much effort just to let Ma Chao escape? How long can you escape?" Qin Feng said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, if you don't find this little mouse, it's all in vain, but he has such a large army of 5,000 people, it's impossible to come and go without a trace, I think we will find his traces soon, we can't discuss anything while sitting here, and when we find the direction of his escape, naturally all the truth will be revealed." The wild dog yawned and stood up: "Your Majesty, I'm tired these days, I'm going to sleep. What is there to worry about, even his old man has been overturned by us, what big waves can he make, and when he finds him, the wild dog will carry his head back."
Listening to the wild dog's words, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing: "The wild dog is right, we can't think of it when we sit here, but he can't go to the sky and the earth, everyone go and rest, you can't turn the sky over." There are more things to do tomorrow, so many troops to be dismissed and resettled, the people in Yongdu City to be pacified, to rebuild order, what are we going to do here to dwell on this little thing? Find him, then kill him, that's all. Scattered, let's go to sleep!"
Bombed away all the generals, but Qin Feng himself couldn't sleep, the uneasiness in his heart was always lingering, he couldn't guess Ma Yue's purpose, and naturally he couldn't guess where Ma Chao would go, this feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. He had always been in control of everything, and now suddenly there was something out of his grasp, which made him very unaccustomed to it.
Or I have been too smooth over the years, and I have basically not suffered any setbacks, so I can't tolerate even a little failure, which is not a good emotion. Qin Feng reflected in his heart, he believed that his emotions had infected all the generals, especially Chen Zhihua, and he blamed himself. In fact, for the entire battle of Yongdu, Ma Chao escaped with 5,000 people, which is really not a big deal.
Sure enough, I don't realize that the rectum of the wild dog is more refreshing, and he can wake himself up with a stick, and he must get used to accepting such a thing as failure, because a person's life cannot be smooth sailing, and everything is satisfactory.
I'm already lucky! From having nothing to becoming the emperor of a huge empire now, if you can't accept the slightest failure, then I'm afraid you won't be too far from the real failure.
