'I didn't expect that there would be a knot for Wu Yanzheng...... Han Gang secretly regretted, 'It's a pity that I didn't kill Wu Qi!' ’

This time, the Tibetan army attacked, and it was originally outside Weiyuan Fort, leaving more than 150 heads. And Liu Yuan's night attack on the Tibetan army will have at least two or three hundred beheadings, maybe four or five hundred. Coupled with the head of an enemy commander, it can indeed be regarded as a great victory.

But what Han Gang thinks of is total annihilation!

With more than 2,000 horsemen, if he could keep most of them, this merit would be enough for him to be promoted to the official of the court—not just the official of Beijing. If it is a battle during the day, in the case of interception in front and rear, Han Gang's plan has a good chance of being realized.

It is a pity that Liu Yuan is in the enemy camp that is raided at night.

After being attacked by cavalry, even the Tibetans, as long as they have a little brain, they will run to the mountains or dense forests. The thieves ran all over the mountains, and Liu Yuan did not dare to rush to the hillside to pursue if he had the courage. With less than 300 troops in his hands, he can clear the enemy troops on the road, which is already considered a very hard work.

And the Tibetan people who fled into the mountains must have taken the trail back to Taoxi. If it was a large group of people, they would have blocked two ferries, and they would have nowhere to hide. But in the case of a dozen people, seven or eight people, or even a single horse, it is very easy to find a mountain col to hide for a few days, find a tribe to take refuge for two days, and then return to Taoxi after the wind is collected - how can it be so easy to catch a scattered duck and want to catch it back?

It's just that from Liu Yuan's point of view, his choice is not wrong. Delaying the enemy is only hard work, and defeating the enemy is a great achievement. In today's army, no matter who you are, you will not sacrifice your own merits in order to fulfill others. Not to mention Liu Yuan, a group of exiled traitors, who are looking forward to using their merits to wash away their past sins, so as to leave a way out for their children and grandchildren - of course, they will not give up such a good opportunity.

And Han Gang never thought that Liu Yuan would have such ability, and dare to lead less than three hundred soldiers who were not equipped with war horses to attack an army several times his own at night. Thinking about it now, he was indeed a bit conservative in military affairs. Of course, between winning and undefeated, the choice Han Gang will make is the only one.

However, victory is a good thing after all, even if it is Han Gang, it cannot be said that his previous plan will definitely succeed. Ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand, with the beheading that has been determined now, don't think about the whole division in the plan.

Wang Zhongzheng can see more than Han Gang, unlike Han Gang, who has the idea of gaining and losing, he is so excited that his face is lit up for the meritorious service he has won for nothing: "With a meager army, you will defeat the enemy several times." There are guards in front of the city to defend the city, and there are generals who are defeated, and it is difficult to see the merits of the obvious, I should be on the book, and ask the Son of Heaven for merit for you! ”

Han Gang didn't even have time to cough, so Wang Zhongzheng said what he shouldn't have said. Seeing the messenger kneeling down and thanking him with surprise on his face, Wang Zhongzheng stood again, he could only say something, "Although the Guangrui Army has the mistakes of the old times, it still has today's merits, as long as you are loyal and diligent to the country, one day, there will be a time to wash away the old ones." Inside and outside the Son of Heaven Cave Candle, the public is fair and solemn, and it will never cut off the opportunity for you to reform yourself. ”

Han Gang's words can be regarded as remedy, and he did not let Liu Yuan and the others, after hearing Wang Zhongzheng's words, they had too many expectations.

Han Gang looked out of the hall, the night was still deep, but the stars and moon had already set to the west, calculating the time, in more than an hour, the sky would be bright.

"Wang Junwan!" Han Gang nodded at the Weiyuan Fort Lord whose face was still gloomy, "You go outside to rectify the soldiers and horses, and go to replace Liu Yuan after dawn." The attacking Tibetans only fled, and they were outnumbered, and they could regroup at any time. You must chase and fight fiercely, and you must not give them another chance to reorganize the army! ”

Han Gang can be regarded as having a meritorious share, and he can't let Liu Yuan and other Guangrui generals earn enough credit, and at the same time, he is also worried that Liu Yuan and the others will be very happy and sad after a day and a night of fierce battles, and something will happen.

Although Wang Junwan was a little reluctant to pick up this bargain, he felt a little embarrassed. But the military order was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to disobey it slightly, so he knelt down and received the order: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

I didn't talk any other nonsense, I turned around and went out.

Han Gang turned to Wang Zhongzheng and smiled, "I have to send a messenger to Lintao quickly." Wang and Gao Er appeased, and they should be a little more relaxed when they hear the news. ”

Wang Zhongzheng's mind was still stunned by the news of the victory at this time, and he nodded his head when Han Gang said anything, "Yes, yes, what Han Jiyi said is." ”

Since he arrived in the Tongyuan Army, he didn't have to do anything, just wait for the credit. It's like sitting under a pear tree and waiting until the pears are ripe and fall off on their own. It's the same in Luowu, they all sit back and enjoy it. But after several merits, he was in front of the Son of Heaven, and he was the premier lieutenant in the palace who was proficient in military affairs.

Qin Han and Qin Zhongyi of the Zhenzong Dynasty were famous generals among the eunuchs, and his name is still in the palace. Qin Han resisted the Khitan in the north, the Shu Rebellion in the south, the party in the west, fought in his life, wore forty-nine creations, and his achievements were no longer under Cao Wei and other famous generals. But in his old age, when it rained, he was sore, and he died violently in the palace at the end of the year.

That's what smart people do!

Wang Zhongzheng's pride filled his chest.

……………………

The sky had turned white, and the shouts of killing that had resounded all night dissipated into the morning mist along with the night.

Liu Yuan carried a spear and a war horse, wandering on the road full of corpses.

The tip of the spear was stained with a layer of purple black after blood coagulation, and a melee in the night, the blood that had begun to become fierce during the day yesterday, has been boiling until now. Liu Yuan didn't know how many people he had killed, under the light silver moonlight, he looked at the shaking black shadow in front of him and shot it over, if he hadn't tied a white cloth on his right arm in advance, maybe he would have killed his own people.

The former commander of the Guangrui Army sat up straight on horseback, looked around, left and right, and counted his comrades. What made him happy was that after a night of scuffle, the brother behind him did not lose much.

He smiled reassuringly, after all, they were all old soldiers, and he knew how to protect himself on the battlefield.

Liu Yuan only has one man, one horse, and a spear. Unlike his brothers, who either had one or two heads hanging behind the saddle, or several flags tied horizontally. After the war, the loot was everywhere, and they all picked it up after looking at it, and the weapons and armor were slightly damaged, so they abandoned them - only the war horses, heads and flags must be collected without leakage, and the rest of the trophies did not matter whether they were loaded or not.

The generals and soldiers who often go into battle know how to collect trophies that can be credited. Now every former Guangrui general who participated in the battle is riding on a horse. Originally, they still brought horses and stagecoaches into battle. But at this time, although the horses and stagecoaches were still there, they were all used to carry the spoils of war. Each of them rode horses more than four feet high, and some even led one or two more.

"Commander Liu, what should I do next?" Someone asked Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan didn't know how to answer for a while, what to do next, and he didn't have a clue. This time, he turned the delay into a sneak attack, which can be regarded as a violation of moderation. But with the credit in hand, it can also be supported - as long as it is said that the enemy army is fragile, and that it is only a containment, but it is scattered in a tentative attack, then no one can say that he did it on purpose.

Just when he was hesitating, on the way to the northwest, there was a sound of hooves shaking the ground, and the majesty of thousands of cavalry that only had when they were marching came from the direction of Weiyuan Fort.

Soon, the army coming from the rear was already in the spotlight. Thousands of troops and horses flooded the valley, and only in front of Liu Yuan and others did they rein in. This is a group of Fan horses, but there is a group of Song people in the middle.

After the army stopped, a handsome general, who was close to thirty years old, came out.

Seeing this general, Liu Yuan hesitated slightly, then dismounted and saluted, "The villain greets the lord of the castle." ”

Looking down at Liu Yuan, the former rebel general knelt in front of the horse. Wang Junwan is not a jealous person, although he secretly hated Liu Yuan for stealing his first credit, he didn't think about embarrassing them too much, but just conveyed Han Gang's order with a stern face: "Han Jiyi let you go back, and the following matters will be handed over to this official." ”

Wang Junwan straightened his chest and back, staring down at Liu Yuan's back on horseback. Picking the fruit was so justifiable, Liu Yuan and the others were faintly angry, and they forgot their identity as a prisoner for a while, and did not bow their heads to receive the order.

Wang Junwan's beautiful eyebrows were raised, and when he mentioned the silver gun, he was about to shout angrily.

Fortunately, Han Gang knew that there would be such a stalemate, and the messenger sent could speak, and he would also be able to observe words and expressions, seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, and seeing that there were signs of fighting for merit, he hurriedly stood up and said to Liu Yuan and them: "Ji Yi knows that Lu Daoer has worked hard all night and has a special honor, so let you go back and rest." Your merits have been recorded, and Wang Duzhi heard that after you and others beheaded Wu Yanzheng, he also said that he would ask the Son of Heaven for your credit. ”

This is exactly what Liu Yuan and others want to hear. No matter how many beheadings there are, no matter how many merits there are, if no one reports it, it will still be the same wasted busy. With their status as prisoners, they are all marked as traitors, and if their merits are swallowed up, there is no place to cry.

Now I heard that Wang Zhongzheng, who was sent to supervise the army, has promised to report to the Son of Heaven, and Han Gang, who solemnly promised them, has a surprisingly good reputation, and he has done everything he promised in the past.

The small things that come to pick the fruit are great in hand, and no matter how many imperial courts will not give them official promotions, it is better to leave it to others, so as not to offend the people around them.

Liu Yuan raised his head, and there were still figures shaking on the mountains on both sides. This is the Tibetan people who fled up. It's not easy to embellish them, so this credit will be transferred to Wang Junwan and them.

Liu Yuan arched his hand to Wang Junwan: "And I wish the master of Wangbao a success, the villain is not talented, and he can't follow the left and right, so he has to be ordered to go back to the village first!" ”
