Chapter 408: Future Prey (Fourth Watch)
When Gongsun Zhi walked out of the stone house, it was already past noon, and he handed the letter to Li Ke, who hurriedly went to Li Heizi to send a fast horse to White Wolf Mountain.
At this time, the dead soldiers were being cremated under Hiraoka, and the bones were collected and brought back to another cemetery in Ueya County. Gongsun Zhi walked down the gravel ramp, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly ran to clear the barricades, but he waved his hand to stop him, and simply took Dian Wei and a few other personal guards to go over there.
The long shed was fifty feet long, and the corpses of soldiers on the mat lay there calmly, the armor on their bodies neatly stretched out in front of them. After the first battle of White Wolf Mountain, except for the Xianbei cavalry, the casualties of the White Wolf Cavalry and the Black Mountain Cavalry still reached a height of 2,000 people, most of them were seriously injured and could not be treated, and some of the wounds were infected and died, or they were permanently disabled.
With the current time and space, it is unavoidable, and Gongsun Zhi is also making great efforts to improve this situation.
The burning pillar of fire rushed into the sky, green smoke filled, even though there was a bad smell in the air, the long shed was still surrounded by soldiers in the barracks, they took off their helmets, and stood outside in silence, the body of a soldier was lifted, and walked to the fire, the crowd suddenly a figure ran out, fell, and ran over with a cry of rolling and crawling, and then, was stopped by others, the man struggled on the ground and beat the dirt and cried heartbreakingly, and watched the body being thrown into the fire.
And Gongsun Zhi watched all this not far away.
"Lord, are you feeling emotional?" Zhao Yun, who was dressed in military uniform, walked over from the vicinity, standing a little behind, and there was no expression on his majestic face, "I remember that the old lord once said that it is normal to die in battle, and if you will die, you will know how to work harder and let yourself live on the battlefield." ”
Gongsun Zhi stood in place with his hands on his shoulders, looked at the pillar of fire that soared into the sky for a moment, and turned his head: "This truth, I understood it when I was begging for a living on the grassland, every step forward in the past, but dozens of people were killed and injured, and now even if I take half a step, it is a lot of corpses, and the high that can be walked is all piled up by corpses." ”
"In a few days, more than 80,000 people from Xianbei and Micah will go south, and Gongsun Du and the revenge platform may be difficult to resist." Zhao Yun obviously didn't want to say too much on the topic of death, "After all, counting on both sides, there are only twenty or thirty thousand people, and Xianbei's combat power is much stronger than that of Wu Huan." ”
"No matter how difficult it is, both of them must go up, and my soldiers need time to rest." Gongsun Zhi replied in a low voice: "80,000 cavalry is already the strength of their clan, once defeated, it will be a situation of death and clan annihilation, Xianbei people will definitely go all out, Gongsun Du They must also know this, if they don't do their best, my side, he will not be able to deal with him." ”
"However, Zilong should not think of Liaodong Xianbei as too powerful...... There are not many soldiers in Jingjing, how about the 60,000 Wuhuan people? It's not a torn piece, don't forget that there are also Wuhuan 30,000 descendants. ”
The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth outlined a smile, he looked at Gongsun Zhi, turned his body, and arched his hand: "The lord thinks that he has a strategy to break the enemy, as long as he takes Liaodong Xianbei, the north of my Langyang Han can finally be peaceful, and Yun is here to thank the lord on behalf of thousands of people." ”
Half-kneeling as he spoke.
"Zilong should be grateful to these dead talents." Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at the burning corpse over there, and narrowed his eyes, "It will take many days to completely pacify the north, not that it is as simple as killing Ji Ji and Miga, there will always be fish that have slipped through the net and will hide in the mountains, and when we leave, in a few years, or even decades, they will have a scale to drill out of the forest and scatter wild everywhere." ”
Zhao Yun nodded, and then laughed: "At that time, our Han people have become the climate, unless the descendants are not good, how can we allow those mountain and forest savages to run rampant." ”
"Who can say this...... Decades later, you and I are gone. Gongsun Zhi also smiled and said softly.
The breeze at the foot of the mountain blew lightly, the terrain gradually rose, the robe stroked, Gongsun Zhi's words paused, and his smile became even worse, "But before the ancient times, is Zilong interested in going to the outside world with me to see?" Go into other countries, see different people, different scenery, and get a country's throne for you to sit on when the time comes. ”
"The lord must not praise the high general!" Zhao Yun was taken aback when he heard that he was sitting on the throne, even if he was indifferent, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "As long as the Han Banner is caused and the wolf rider passes, the cloud will naturally follow, and what the lord wants to do, the cloud will do too." ”
Immediately, he said: "But the lord wants to conquer a farther place, Yun is naturally happy, but we don't know much about others, just like the last time the Great Qin people crossed the border, Zhao Zhao and Zhang Yang were not familiar with the other party's tactics, and the defeated soldiers were ......."
"When the sour Confucianism in the East was still there, I discussed it with him and Li Ru, and I thought about it myself for a long time......" Gongsun Zhi looked ahead and muttered for a while, "Zilong also knows that my Gongsun Zhi is not good at some aspects, and then after seeing the results of Guan Ning and Bing Yuan in recent years, I made a decision with Li Ru last year, and the first batch of Confucians have gone west, of course, these Confucians are not serious people, spreading, weakening, and espionage first, and the army is behind, and the Wuhuan people who will return to the Han Dynasty when the time comes, The Sinicized Xianbei people are pioneers, and it's not a good thing to raise them for too long. ”
"What's not a good thing?!"
After a figure also saw the funeral, he carried a giant axe and walked around, and after seeing Gongsun Zhi, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei here, he trotted over, and with a bang, he put the handle of the axe on the ground, put one hand on his waist, and looked at the three of them with wide eyes: "Is Yuan Shao calling?" ”
"Removing Liaodong Xianbei, Yuan Shao is not important."
Here, Pan Feng shook his head, he didn't seem to hear what Gongsun Zhi said, and patted his chest heroically, "Don't worry, my lord, when the time comes, allocate a soldier and horse to my old Pan, and I will go to kill Yuan Benchu, so that ......"
"Fool." Zhao Yun glanced at him, arched his hand towards Gongsun Zhi, and went back to the camp to be busy with military affairs, Pan Feng wanted to go over to chase him, took half a step and retreated, picking his hair, a little confused: "...... Just now, Zilong seemed to be scolding me. ”
Gongsun Zhi smiled, "After fighting Liaodong and forming a north-south attack with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's life is really difficult, where is the time to pay attention to him at this time, it is estimated that the backyard fire is too busy, by the way, I ordered Gongsun Xu in the rear camp to prepare some wine for the soldiers tonight, not much." ”
"Okay." When it came to wine, Dian Wei, who hadn't understood it for a long time, had a glow in his eyes, and happily turned around and went to the baggage camp.
"Wait for me."
Pan Feng caught up and walked side by side with the giant man, carrying a giant axe on his shoulder and waving a hand: "I thought about it all night last night, if I and Xianglian get married, wouldn't it sound good if I gave birth to a girl named Pan Xianglian?" No way...... No way...... Isn't it the same name as Xianglian? How about Pan Jinlian? ”
"......." Dian Wei looked at him and continued to walk forward.
"Seriously, that's the name." Pan Feng trotted to follow.
The chatter was gone. Gongsun stopped looking at the direction where the smoke was rising, and in the distance, the singing of the dead in the army came here, and countless figures over there swung their fists and hammered their chests, and their voices were low and majestic.
"The west wind rises...... The wolf smoke and horses' hooves came north, and Hu Er cheapened my sister..... Han flag roll, swinging wolf..... The dignified man galloped across the field, and the long knife was ...... repay the gentleman's kindness and protect my Han land in good harm..... Protect my sister without tears....... Loyal bones buried in the grass..... Born as a Han and dare to die! ”
A gentle breeze hit your face.
"If we can finish the war one day, that's really good." Gongsun Zhi said softly.
After a few moments, turn around and leave. In the afternoon, Lou Ban was escorted out of the barracks and headed for White Wolf Mountain, after leaving, the letter was also on the road at the same time, the matter of relocating 270,000 people from the Wuhuan tribe would be carried out after the end of the war in Liaodong, but before that, the 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry would enter the battlefield in advance.
And 80,000 Xianbei will also go south.
