Chapter 251: Bones

The weather has gradually eased, if the problem of corpses outside the city is not dealt with well, the corpses will soon rot and corpses will breed, and once the miasma plague occurs, it will spread everywhere, and the people near Guangzhou City will suffer. （）

Zhao Tianyou knows that he is poor, and he is poor and makes people anxious, when he sees good things, his eyes and heart beat and he wants to get them to his home, and there are discarded knives, guns and arrows everywhere outside the city, but they are all valuable good things.

What made him itch even more was the war horses of the Yuan army, in the two days of tragic siege battles, the Yuan army suffered heavy casualties at the same time, and countless war horses fled in fright. Mongolian horses are adaptable and have a strong sense of homing, although they were frightened and ran away at that time, but they would look for the Yuan army's brigade to return to their nests.

There were as many as 10,000 or 20,000 horses that ran away in the war this time, and they were mainly scattered within a range of several dozen miles on the east and west sides of Guangzhou.

The atmosphere in the camp of the Yuan army was extremely depressing, from the commander to the general to every soldier with their heads drooping, and the two consecutive days of fiasco had knocked this high-morale army to the dust, and the battle without fighting back made them desperate to begin to doubt their lives.

"Prime Minister, the Ashu army has no way to suffer this fiasco, and is willing to be dealt with by military law!"

Ah Shu, who took off his shirt and bare his arms, knelt on his knees in front of Boyan and bowed his head to the ground.

Today's guilt was replaced by Ah Shu, and the general Si Qinbari, who was defeated yesterday, has bled to death and has become a corpse, and remains on the battlefield outside the North City Gate forever.

"Ah Shu, get up, even if I lead the troops and lead the team, the result is the same, the Song people are extremely cunning, using conspiracy and tricks to lure us into being fooled. Hey, it's to seize the weakness of our desire to win, coupled with the incomparable power of their artillery, our cavalry warriors can't deal with it, so today's situation is caused by me! ”

Ah Shu heard the incomparably warm heart in his heart, and said in his heart that the Prime Minister is really interesting, sympathetic to his subordinates, this failure is really painful. I used to be really careful, thinking that the prime minister was afraid that my credit was too high, and sooner or later he would threaten his position, and he would suppress me in this last battle, ashamed, ashamed!

Boyan paused for a moment and then spoke: "But as the leading commander, you lost more than 100,000 soldiers in two days, how can you serve the public if you don't punish you, then take back your position first, and you act as a deputy commander for the rest of the day." I will take over the position of coach first, how to punish you, and after returning to Dadu in the future, the Great Khan will be in charge. ”

"Yes! Thank you Prime Minister for your forgiving mind! ”

Ah Shu hung his head down, got up and stepped back to the side, his heart was not a taste, the prime minister was always sharp, the horse was slippery, and what he said sounded good, in fact, the final responsibility was still borne by me alone. From now on, I will act as a deputy commander, no matter how I fail in the future, the responsibility will definitely be borne by me, and the Great Khan will also punish me when I return to the capital.

"Before the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they were all our closest brothers who were connected by blood, and now they are lying outside the city of Guangzhou, and I must not sit idly by. Come on, come with me to Guangzhou City, I will go to meet Wen Tianxiang for a while, and collect the bones of the brothers who died. ”

"The prime minister can't, the Song people are cruel and cunning, and the adults are more auspicious and less auspicious, and the matter of collecting the bones can be negotiated by us, and the body of the adult's daughter must not be in danger!"

A circle of civilian, military and military generals bowed down in unison to salute and dissuade Boyan from going into battle in person.

Boyan shouted: "Who dares to stop me? went to collect the bones of the dead soldiers, even if he died, he would not regret it. ”

Ah Shu gritted his teeth vigorously beside him, he was angry but he didn't dare to attack, as a commander of a defeated army, if there was another handle that Boyan held, he really dared to drag him outside the camp gate and behead him. Just now he was still grateful for Boyan's tolerance and kindness, but he didn't expect that as soon as Boyan's words changed, he completely denied Ashu's future future, even if he could return to the Yuan capital to meet the Great Khan, it would be difficult for him to turn over.

Boyan was sure in his heart, and personally went into battle to negotiate conditions with the enemy, hoping that the other party would let the Yuan soldiers close to the city wall to collect the bones, and the Song army had always thought that he was a benevolent and righteous teacher, and would definitely agree to his request. It's a good thing to buy people's hearts so cheaply, how can he let others do it, and he has a three-to-five relationship with Wen Tianxiang, although he was detained for a few days last time, he has been entertained with wine and meat, and he has not hurt his face.

"Lord Wen, there is a messenger of the Yuan Army outside the city, saying that there is an old man who asks to see him in the city!"

Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Tianyou were together, busy preparing for the martial arts hall, and they were very surprised to receive a message from the herald.

"The deceased? Who can there be outside the city? God bless, come with me and have a look. ”

Boyan rode alone to the outside of the city, just a few dozen steps away from the suspension bridge, waiting for news from Wen Tianxiang in the city.

The gate of the creaking city opened, the iron chains of the suspension bridge rattled, Wen Tianxiang and another man in black rode out slowly, and after stepping across the suspension bridge, they stood ten steps in front of Boyan.

"Haha, it's really an old man, Prime Minister Boyan, don't come unharmed! Hahaha......"

Wen Tianxiang stroked his beard with one arm and laughed at the sky, the pride in his chest bloomed, and he pressed Boyan down first from the momentum.

"Master Wen, it's been a long time, what's wrong with your arm? Don't you still be able to go into battle in person, take care of your body! ”

Boyan didn't expect Wen Tianxiang to be missing an arm, he didn't know that Wen Tianxiang's big arm was lost in Zhangzhou, and the culprit Dong Wenbing was suffering in the city.

"What is one arm, if you can drive Prime Minister Boyan back to Youzhou, what if you want to get Wen's head, the best destination is for the general to die in a hundred battles, although Wen has no power, he is also very eager to die before the war between the two armies. What about you, Prime Minister? Aren't you afraid that ten thousand arrows will be fired at the head of my city and leave the prime minister behind? ”

Boyan suppressed the anger in his heart, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Lord Wen, Ming people don't say secret words, today Boyan has something to ask for, I hope that Lord Wen will be fulfilled, and Boyan will remember Lord Wen's kindness for the rest of his life." ”

"What?"

"It's no secret that after the death of our Mongolian tribal warriors, we all hope to return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven, so that the reincarnation can be completed. But now the conditions for marching and fighting are inconvenient, and it is impossible to transport these corpses back for a long distance, so I want to collect the bones of the fallen soldiers, hold a grand cremation, and make a French ceremony for the dead. ”

Wen Tianxiang opened his mouth and laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed at Boyan's face, shaking his head incessantly, it seemed that what Boyan said was an extremely stupid topic.

"You traveled thousands of miles to Guangzhou to kill all the Song people in our city, and at this time you told me that it was difficult for these dead people, Prime Minister, don't you think it's funny?"
