Gao Shun could see that the rescued people were all headed by Xue Yin, so he asked, "Xue Duwei, I think you are extraordinary in martial arts, why were you captured?" ”

"Hehe, let the general smile, ashamed to say, at the beginning Xianbei was fierce, our soldiers were outnumbered, and there was no power to resist, Taishou had to lead the people of the county to retreat, but he had no choice but to move slowly, and the silver could only be cut off to cover, and finally he was captured by exhaustion; Unfortunately, a large number of Han Chinese have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and if it were not for the desire to save them one day, Silver would have cut himself off. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" said and left two lines of tears.

Gao Shun comforted: "Xue Duwei doesn't need to be like this, keep a useful body, sooner or later we will exterminate Xianbei and rescue all the enslaved." ”

At this time, the soldiers brought the roasted lamb into the tent. Gao Shun said: "Thank you for your information, we will say goodbye after we are full, each of you can choose 1 war horse and bring 1 yuan to make the journey; I think your loved ones are already waiting at home. ”

Xue Yin laughed at himself: "Hehe, I think the imperial court has already determined that we died in battle, and it is estimated that the pension has already been sent home, for the sake of prudence, it is better for us to be incognito." ”

Su Zhi said: "General, what Xue Duwei said is right, we can't go back, please allow us to join the village protection team and hunt down the Xianbei barbarians together!" ”

Gao Shun didn't want to take them with him, so many things were not easy to keep secret, and he was very happy about their request to join the village protection team, so he said: "I suggest that you escort the wounded soldiers back to the county seat of Mayi for the time being, or go to my castle to rest, and then follow them out to encircle and suppress Xianbei after your body recovers; We will also go back soon, and we must make preparations, and it is estimated that the Xianbei people will go south in large numbers in the autumn and winter. ”

Wang Yong said: "General, please, at the beginning, we were captured, 10,000 cavalry, and very few could return, I hope to personally rescue all my former comrades-in-arms, there must be many people scattered in various tribes to be enslaved." ”

Li Qiang comforted: "Wang Junhou, Shun can understand your feelings, and want to rescue your comrades-in-arms who are in trouble with you as soon as possible, but we only bring less than 100 people now, how many people can we rescue?" It's best to think about it for the long term. ”

Xue Yin said: "That's a good thing, Xianbei people are not so easy to fight, the cavalry force of tens of thousands of people was defeated when they said they were defeated, and now there are so many people, how can they be saved?" You know, not only are your captured cavalrymen people, but many more people are suffering in the fallen lands. ”

Li Qiang said: "Rest assured, our purpose is to hunt foreign races and rescue the Han people who were enslaved by foreign races, we have rescued hundreds of people, although the speed is very slow, I believe that our strength will become stronger and stronger, and more people will be rescued." ”

Gao Shun changed the topic and said: "Come, eat enough first, there is enough time today, and we will talk in detail slowly after dinner." ”

"Yes, General." Everyone has been here for a few years, and they have never eaten a full meal, and this roast mutton can be seen every day, but they have never eaten it, and under Gao Shun's greeting, everyone began to eat it.

Xue Yin said while eating: "Thank you, General, I haven't eaten such fragrant barbecue for many years." ”

Gao Shun said: "Your diet has been restricted in a few years, your stomach has atrophied, and now you can't eat more at every meal, 3 pieces of barbecue per person, a bowl of porridge, and you can adapt to the normal diet after half a month, otherwise you will definitely fall ill." ”

"Hehe, the general reminded me."

"In order to satisfy your cravings, you can eat three or four meals a day, and eat small and frequent meals."

"Thank you, General, for your thoughtfulness." Although everyone knows that Gao Shun is right, they still have some regrets about not being able to let go of the large amount of food.

After the meal, Xue Yin asked, "Can the general introduce us to the situation of the village protection team?" ”

"Haha, well, it's an honor. The village guard team and the recruited county soldiers are one, with a total of 600 cavalry teams, about 7800 people, all of whom are strong men; There were more than 1,500 infantry, but the quality was uneven; With me are only my escorts. ”

Everyone thought to themselves, this strength is not great, but the courage is not small, and less than 100 people dare to go deep into the outside of the plug.

"General, to deal with the barbarians, we still have to rely on cavalry, otherwise it will be difficult to fight." Xue Yin suggested.

Gao Shun explained: "Zhigui is right, we are not short of war horses, we have snatched thousands of war horses from the barbarians in more than half a year, but the number of people suitable for cavalry is small, so we can only slowly recruit and train, and only transfer to the cavalry team when it is suitable." ”

"No, General, how can there be anyone in the border land who can't ride a horse? The imperial court also chose the border counties as the preferred place for the selection of cavalry. Xue Yin was very puzzled.

"I have strict requirements for cavalry, whether it is cavalry archery or cavalry combat, they can only be selected if they exceed my escort, so the number is smaller, and the growth is relatively slow."

Xue Yin said again: "General, the number of cavalry is not superior, and it is easy to suffer losses in the war. ”

Gao Shun said: "Our village guard team was established at the end of February this year, so far, has annihilated a Xiongnu thousand people, a Xianbei thousand people, I feel that in terms of the strength of a single cavalry, its combat ability is quite strong, our Han cavalry does not have an advantage, we can win is to rely on discipline, equipment, battle formation, will, strategy, etc., rely on collective strength to win, if the quality of soldiers is reduced, it will be more unable to compete with the enemy, increase casualties, not enough. Therefore, we have raised the treatment of cavalry, preferring shortage to excess, so that the combat effectiveness can be strengthened. ”

Everyone thought to themselves, if hundreds of cavalry surpassed the cavalry in front of them, the combat effectiveness was indeed terrifying, no wonder they could win continuously. Xue Yin said: "General, we also want to join the village protection team, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"Haha, you're very welcome, but your position is not as good as that of a lieutenant, and you can only serve as a cavalry commander at present."

"Don't worry, general, as long as you can hunt foreign races, high-ranking officials are not what I want."

"Well, I have two plans, first, you go back and wait patiently, and the Han people rescued by me will form a cavalry camp alone; Second, allocate 100 cavalry from the existing cavalry to you to form a cavalry cantonment. ”

"Based on the general's arrangement alone, we have no objection."

Gao Shun thought for a while and said: "Well, I appointed Zhigui as the commander of the cavalry, Wang Junhou and Su County Lieutenant had to succumb to the position of Dubo, and the rest of the people can only serve as the commander, the commander or the ordinary cavalry, and then make specific arrangements according to the actual situation, I don't know if you are satisfied?" ”

"General Xie, we have no objection, as long as we can kill the barbarians."

Gao Shun said: "In the village protection team, from the chief to the tun chief, they don't look at military merits, only look at personal strength, and have a chance to challenge once a month, and the winner is the winner; As for the details of treatment, diet, etc., it is better to wait for you to understand for yourself after you return, and if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you will bring it up when you are not satisfied. Originally, Gao Shun wanted to introduce the treatment, but he thought that these people didn't care about this, so he didn't continue.

"Yes, General." At this point, everyone regarded themselves as members of the village protection team and was more polite to Gao Shun.

"You will protect the wounded to return, let the county magistrate Zhao give everyone a household registration first, take care of their health, if you are willing to work in the village protection team for a long time, you can send someone to take the family members to live in my castle, and distribute houses and land to relieve your worries."

"General Xie, it's better to wait for stability before deciding, it's been so many years, it's not urgent." Xue Yin explained that since Gao Shun did not allow them to participate in the hunting of foreign races, escorting the wounded back was also a very important job, besides, since they had joined the village protection team, they had to obey orders, although it was a pity that it could only be so for now.
