Chapter 269 On Meritorious Deeds
The Xianbei people saw that King Ke was dead, and when they heard the shout of "surrender and don't kill", some people began to hesitate and stopped attacking, and there was no need for them to accompany King Ke to death together; Some of them were red-eyed and in pain, and vowed to avenge King Ke, but there were only a few of them, only a few of them.
Hearing the shouts from the mountain, Li Su, who had occupied the first fortress pass, also shouted: "Surrender or kill!" ”
The other Wuhuan Yi cavalry also shouted in Xianbei language: "Surrender or kill!" ”
"Surrender or kill!"
Thousands of people shouted together, the voice was very loud, and the Xianbei people on the mountain heard it very clearly, which became the last straw that overwhelmed their hearts and continued to fight.
Now that the Han Chinese had rushed to the fortress, it was no longer necessary to continue to insist.
So someone laid down their arms, gave up resistance, and prepared to surrender. When someone sets an example, more people follow suit, and they put down their weapons one after another.
And those personal guards who were ready to avenge King Ke were not happy, and successively hacked to death several Xianbei people who laid down their arms, and said angrily: "Don't surrender, resist to the end!" ”
This angered the centurions and thousands, and under their leadership, the angry Xianbei people surrounded the guards, and an infighting broke out immediately.
Zhang Fei didn't care about them, just watched from the periphery, ready to enjoy it. But Li Ran took the opportunity to take a break.
Seeing the anger of the people, some of the guards laid down their arms, dismounted, and prepared to accept surrender.
In order to cut off the troubles, the commanders and centurions did not want to let them go, and personally led the charge, even the personal guards who laid down their weapons were dismembered by the knife.
Those guards lost their unified command, and were no match for so many people in any case, relying only on the support of their inner anger, and they were slaughtered in less than a quarter of an hour.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and hurriedly collected his weapons, took all the surviving Xianbei people into custody, and quickly reaped the fruits of victory; Then split into two parts, go to the mountains to search for other personnel, and be sure to capture all of them.
The soldiers who fell into the camp suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, most of them were injured, most of them were injured by war horses, and they were fine after a few months of cultivation, and very few died in battle, at this time they were all tired and slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, glad that the war was over, and they were still alive.
Li Su led the officers and soldiers up the mountain, the war was over, he was very disappointed, the battle achievements were not reaped, and he had to help transport the wounded, clean the battlefield, and take care of the prisoners.
Able to step on the Khan Mountain, Tian Feng was overjoyed, he will surely go down in history because of this, this is the greatest pursuit of the literati; After all the aftermath affairs were dealt with, he immediately convened a military meeting to calm down the war exploits and discuss the next division of labor plan.
Tian Feng first made a long speech, describing the importance of the horse stepping on the Khan Mountain, and setting the tone for the pacification of the war exploits.
The first thing to determine is the personal exploits.
Zhang Fei killed Ke Maxiwang and broke the will of the Xianbei people to resist, so that the Xianbei people surrendered in time, reduced casualties, and deservedly was listed as the first personal merit.
Tian Feng's personal second merit was announced, but to everyone's surprise, it turned out to be Yan Rou, a little-known Han slave.
Yan Rou was only thirteen years old and a native of Guangyang County (near present-day Beijing). First robbed by the Wuhuan people as a slave, and then robbed by the Xianbei people as a slave, will Wuhuan and Xianbei language, because of the young age, not the Xianbei people's vigilance, and people are more clever, there have been several times on the Danhan Mountain service experience, so understand the defense situation on the Danhan Mountain.
This is very important for the capture of Danhan Mountain.
If there was no information provided by Yan Rou, how could he successfully take the three passes of the fortress? Everyone didn't have much objection to this, only Li Su was unconvinced, but everyone supported Tian Feng's opinion, and he could only second.
In order to comfort the Wuhuan people's emotions, the third personal merit was given to Li Su, which was regarded as a comfort to him.
Subsequently, Tian Feng announced: "The first merit of the group, trapping the camp, did not trap the camp and made huge sacrifices, withstood the fierce collision of the Xianbei cavalry from top to bottom, and the three passes of the fortress, we can't take it no matter what, let alone the horse stepping on the Khan Mountain?" Do you have any objections? ”
"No objection!" Everyone saw the tragic situation of the camp after the war, at least half of the people were lying on the ground, vomiting blood, and they didn't even have the strength to move, it was Wu Huanyi who carried them down the mountain from the cavalry; If they lead the troops, it is already a fluke that there will be no collapse, and they will admire the trapped camp even more in their hearts, so how can they object?
Tian Feng was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and then said: "The second merit of the group, the two thousand cavalry led by Nai Yide, they suddenly killed on the mountain and forced the Xianbei people to surrender, what are your objections?" ”
Not only Li Su has an opinion on this, but even Yan Liang is also very dissatisfied.
Tian Feng asked with a smile: "If there is no army led by Yide to kill from behind, and only 400 officers and soldiers in the camp are trapped, can they resist the continuous onslaught of 3,000 Xianbei people?" Will it still be able to lay the foundation for the rest of the battle? You must understand that the army led by Yide is the key to the final victory. ”
Tian Feng did this deliberately, not only giving Zhang Fei a personal second merit, but also giving the group he led the Han army a second merit, that is, to divide the fruits of the victory of the Wuhuan cavalry.
It's hard for everyone to refute his words, so they can only accept it painfully.
Tian Feng announced the third merit of the group, which was even more unexpected, it turned out to be a scout team, not only the officers present were puzzled, but even Xian Yufu was surprised.
Tian Feng saw everyone's attitude, so he carefully explained: "If there is no scout team to find out the news and solve the Xianbei scouts along the way in time, how can you raid and do so?" How to rush all the way into the Xianbei camp at the foot of the mountain? ”
Even so, Yan Liang and Li Su were very dissatisfied, they led their troops to charge and kill, captured countless wealth, and captured most of the Xianbei people, it should be that they laid the foundation for victory, and now they don't even have the hair of their military exploits, how to explain to their subordinates? Who will charge into battle in the future?
Tian Feng said with a smile: "In any war, there is a basis for the pacification of war merits, and every small battle is also the basis for the pacification of war merits; For example, if it is a battle, it is a small and complete battle, and the merits of the battle are attributed to Yan Gongji and the Wuhuan Yicong cavalry led by him, you have no objection to this, right? ”
"Nope!" Yan Liang and the others replied in time, that is a matter that has been determined, how can there be any objection?
Tian Feng's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "The horse stepping on Danhan Mountain is also a complete battle, but the scale is larger, if you rushed to Danhan Mountain in one go, why would you be in a predicament in the future?" What you have lost is much more important than what you have gained, even if you have captured the wealth and prisoners under the mountain, this is the greatest credit of the scout team, sending others out of the horse, the effect may be better, you have not been cured of your dereliction of duty, it is already very face-saving, and you dare to ask for battle merits? ”
How can these generals argue with the scribes? He said yes in his mouth, but he was dissatisfied in his heart.
Subsequently, Tian Feng explained to Yan Liang alone, obtained Yan Liang's understanding, and recruited Li Su to come and appointed him as the military commander, and the cavalry under his jurisdiction was increased to Shitun.
Zhang Fei's official position was not moved, but the army directly under the central government added one department, a total of seven parts.
Xian Yufu was promoted to military Sima, and the scout team was expanded to Wutun.
Trapping factions will need to wait for them to recover from their injuries and be rewarded separately.
All the officers were overjoyed, but the next task was for them to pacify the Wuhuan cavalry.
