Hearing the news that Li Mao jumped from the city, but was not dead, Zhou Bian was also in a good mood, took three steps and made two steps, and soon returned to the city tower, seeing that the chariot had rushed to within two hundred steps of the city tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The royal soldiers on the city walls on the left and right sides of the city gate were excited, some raised their spears, some raised their longbows, seeing that the situation was a little out of control, the young master hurriedly shouted and shouted, under the reprimand of the commander, the young soldiers were relaxed again, always nervous, if the soldiers had poor psychological quality, and especially for the recruits who were in contact with the war for the first time, it was indeed easy to have accidents

A moment later, the chariot ran within a hundred paces of the city gate, and suddenly the soldiers were ready to move, and Fan Yu even shouted, "Your Majesty, can you let me shoot it?" ”

All day today, Fan Yuke was following behind the king, and he didn't have a chance to kill the enemy, which would be a little exciting.

Before Zhou Bian could speak, the busy young master was furious, "The princes are fighting, and they don't kill them, let alone my royal family?" ”

The father was angry, Fan Yu immediately lowered his head, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who had already put their arrows on the bowstring also put down their bows and arrows one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the chariot rushed to the pile of corpses, and could not move any further, only to see a soldier in a high hat and a robe jump from the chariot, and after leaping quickly over the piles of corpses, he came to the city gate, and raised his head and shouted.

"A certain is the military doctor of the Han Division, and on the order of the general, he came to discuss with you and others, can I send someone to collect the corpse?"

It turned out to be this request, it seems that Han Hu is much stronger than the previous son-in-law Han Zhao, who was by the Luoshui, but he threw all the corpses on the north bank, and he led the army away, but I don't know if there are any soldiers who will die for him in the future.

Seeing the doctor waiting under the city, Zhou Bian turned around and said, "What do you think?" ”

The young master touched his beard and opened his mouth, "My king, my royal family is orthodox in the world, and it has always regarded itself as benevolent and righteous. Moreover, if it is hot today, if we allow these tens of thousands of corpses to be piled up under the city, I am afraid that the corpses will decompose and cause a plague. ”

Turning his head again, he only heard Bai Gui say, "The king, the minister has something to say." Now that the Korean army is attacking, and the enemy is strong and I am weak, although benevolence and righteousness cannot be lost, but we cannot learn from Song Xianggong. There are many wounded soldiers of the Korean army under this city, if they are allowed to be rescued, I am afraid that in the near future, they will come to attack our royal family again, if we say that we will collect the corpses first, let them come back in half an hour, and our army can take the opportunity to solve all the wounded soldiers in the city, and let the Korean army collect all the corpses. ”

didn't expect Bai Gui to come up with such an idea, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be impressed by it, but thinking about it, this Bai Dafu never seemed to advertise himself as a gentleman.

didn't think that at this time, Ning Yue interjected, "King, Doctor Bai's plan, your subordinates think it is impossible." ”

Could it be that Ning Yue, who has always been domineering and reckless of means, has changed his sex, and for a while, Zhou Bian and the two of them turned their heads to look over.

But Ning Yue shook his head and said.

"King, Doctor Bai, if Han Jun just collects the corpse, it will be solved in one day. And if all the wounded soldiers are seriously injured, if the Korean army is rescued, they will have to divide the troops to take care of them, not only will it cost not to mention food but also medicinal materials, and if the Korean army does not take care of it, it is only afraid that the Korean army's heart will be immediately unstable, so in a certain way, it is better to send troops down to the city, and make up for all the wounded soldiers with a few more swords, and all of them will be seriously injured, so that these seriously injured people will not be able to go to the battlefield recently, or even in the future. ”

Zhou Bian suddenly said, how could Ning Yue change his sex, it turned out that his plan was even more poisonous than Bai Gui.

"Ridiculous, I am a royal family, why do I have to do such a despicable plan?" The young master was angry, indeed, the young master whose family has served in the royal family for many generations has the dignity of sharing honor and disgrace with the Son of Heaven, which is naturally unacceptable.

The young master was angry, Bai Gui and Ning Yue didn't dare to fight anymore, and several people set their eyes on Zhou Bian, at this time, only Zhou Bian could make the final decision.

After thinking about it, Zhou Bian smiled and said, "This king thinks that the purpose of Doctor Bai and Doctor Ning is good, but the means cannot be taken all, it is better to let the Han army wait for half an hour, and after we finish cleaning up our people under the city wall, we will allow them to send people to collect the corpses, but when we go down to the city to clean up, as long as he does not hurt our people, he will not care whether his Han soldiers live or die, and let them fend for themselves. How is it? ”

"The king is wise, just follow the king!" The three of them are all hands, and it is decided.

So the young master came forward and poked his head out from above the women's wall, but saw that the Korean doctor was looking at the prime minister. Seeing a white-bearded general sticking out his head from the high tower, the doctor said hurriedly, "The royal family is the chief of the world, and I have heard that the royal family prides itself on benevolence and righteousness, is it difficult to negotiate at this time?" Although our Korean army offended Luoyang, but only for the restoration of the Duke of Zhou, and did not dare to provoke the respect of the royal family, in order to show sincerity, our Korean army is willing to return to the camp, leaving only 5,000 people here to collect the corpses, and hope that the king will allow it! ”

It seems that Han Jun is indeed sincere enough, and the young master looked back at Zhou Bian, who nodded.

"For the sake of the Korean soldiers who were forced by Han Hou to die tragically, the king of my family is merciful and has allowed you to request, please return to the camp now, but you have to wait for half an hour before you can collect the corpses under the city."

"Why is that?"

"My royal soldiers also died under the city, and you can only come after I finish collecting them, but where the righteousness of my royal family lies, I will not move the people of the country."

The Korean doctor pondered for a moment and then shouted, "This is also possible, but half an hour is too long, how about a quarter of an hour?" ”

The young master shook his head, "I said that half an hour is half an hour, and you have to fight again!" ”

"Well, thank you very much! Half an hour later, my 5,000 men arrived at the city on time. So-and-so said goodbye and replied to the general. After that, the Korean doctor turned around and left, not dragging his feet at all.

After the man turned around and left, Zhou Bian immediately ordered the young master and Bai Gui to arrange for people to go down to the city to clean up, and sent a thousand people at once, because the royal family wanted to recover not only the corpses of martyrs, but also a large number of arrows to pick up, after all, the royal family has limited collections, although there are crossbow arrows of the Korean army on the city wall, but the more arrows are prepared, the better.

After the young master made the arrangement, Zhou Bian remembered a question, "Did the Korean doctor say who he was, in the eyes of this king, this person is good in words and deeds, he is a capable person, and he can agree to it for the general of the Korean army at once, and his status is naturally not low, but I don't know who it is?" ”

Looking at the back of the chariot in the distance, the young master and a few others shook their heads, who remembered to ask, only by keeping this matter in mind, and paying attention to it when they had the opportunity to do so in the future.

Zhou Bian naturally didn't care, because he had more important questions to ask in front of him, so he had been busy and didn't have time to ask. Turning his head to see that a large number of ropes had hung down on the city walls on both sides, Zhou Bian turned his head and his face was extremely heavy, "Young Master, just now you said that you will talk about it when you return to the city tower, now you can say, what are the casualties of our army?" ”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the cadres surrounding the young master above the city tower, whether it was Bai Gui Ningyue, or Fan Yu Zhoumi, until the ordinary guards of the Son of Heaven and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, everyone who heard it quieted down, their faces were solemn, and they quietly waited for the young master's reply.

The young master took a deep breath and said, "My lord, according to the statistics so far, there are more than 3,180 corpses cleaned up, including eight centurions, more than 230 gang commanders, and more than 1,700 people who are seriously injured, most of whom can no longer go to the battlefield, and there are countless people who are slightly injured. In addition, this is only the number recorded by the clerk of the army, and the exact number will not be obtained until the formation is assembled, and there are also those under the city walls that have not yet been cleared. Three of the above four dead or seriously injured people were mostly injured by the arrows of the Korean army, especially the crossbow arrows, which were longer and could be known as soon as they were recognized. And the rest are injured by the sword. ”

After the young master finished speaking, the city was quiet.

The first battle was reduced to half, it was really terrifying, although it successfully repelled the Korean army, but it was a tragic victory, and the royal family had only 20,000 fighting strength, today the Korean army only dispatched less than half of the men, and killed a quarter of the royal family, if every battle in the future, less than four days, Luoyang will be broken. The situation is not in my favor!

In the final analysis, there are too few soldiers in my royal family, or Zhou Bian is a little arrogant, Zhou Bian reviewed in his heart, because in order to ensure that the soldiers are excellent, including the slaves offered by the nobles in the city, they are all the best of the best, and they are very dead, so although there are several months, the number of troops has not exceeded 20,000.

So after thinking about it, Zhou Bian said, "The dead are well buried, the wounded must be treated well, urge the military physicians, all the wounded, regardless of severity, must be treated, if it is hot today, the wound is easy to infect, the bandaging used must be scalded with hot soup, and the wound should not be tightened, so as not to fester." ”

These words are not undetailed, and naturally a voice of gratitude from the heart sounded.

After a pause, Zhou Bian continued, "There are still 20,000 people in the city who serve the royal family, and there are nearly 100,000 suburbs in the city who are avoiding chaos. Ladies and gentlemen, my royal family is now in a time of crisis, we must explain the situation clearly, move it with affection, and understand it with reason, so that the people of our Wangji are willing to defend Luoyang with the royal family. ”

"The ministers are willing to live and die with Luoyang!" The shouts rang out on the city tower, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on both sides of the city tower, and finally they shouted one after another.

"Wait for the young master to stay here and continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the Korean army, Bai Gui and Ningyue will return to the palace with the king, and then recruit Tianyi and Zhao Biao, and let them follow to recruit troops."

After giving the order, Zhou Bian looked back, but saw that two miles away, the black pressure of the Korean army was slowly retreating, and General Han Shi really kept his word.

At this point, Zhou Bian fully believed that he had finally held it today, and after explaining, he took Bai Gui and Ning Yue, as well as a group of guards, and the seven hundred soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who were still alive, and walked to the bottom of the city tower together.

And the city is still a mess, full of arrows, and a pool of blood, the city gate is full of stuffed, but I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to open it again.

When I got into the car, I didn't want to see a maid in the car, and in this somewhat sullen car, there were fine beads of sweat on the girl's face. Seeing the king come in, the Qiao slave who was sitting upright straightened up suddenly, "The king, the queen mother is worried that the king has not eaten yet, so she ordered the slave girl to send it, the slave girl has been waiting here for nearly an hour, and she wanted to go to the city, but she was stopped by a group of soldiers under the city, so she had to stay in the car and wait." Please enjoy it too! ”

As he spoke, Qiao Nu picked up a food box beside him, opened it, first took out a bowl of hot soup, and handed it over. "Fortunately, it's hot, and the soup isn't cold yet."

Zhou Bian took a look, and sure enough, it was a light chicken soup, its color was light yellow, and before it was delivered to his mouth, a fragrance came to his nose first, and his mother's love was like this.

I had a meal all the way, all the way back to the palace, and I listened to the constant shouts on both sides of the road in the car.

"Long live the King!"

"The king is wise!"

"God bless my king!"

It was the people of the city who spontaneously revered the royal family after learning that the Korean army had retreated. At the same time, the exhausted and even wounded soldiers of the Royal Forest Army also received great respect from the people, and soup was sent all the way, but fortunately the king did not stop them, and the adults did not speak, and some of the young soldiers laughed.

In fact, when you come as a soldier, you can get the support and love of the people, how is it not a great honor.

After returning to the palace, the sun has gradually wested, and it is already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, first to report the good news of the queen mother's victory on the first day, which caused the queen mother to hold hands for a while, and then, Zhou Bian returned to the front hall, at this time, several ministers were already waiting.

First of all, it was naturally a burst of congratulations, after the congratulations, Zhou Bian explained his work, Tian Yi and a few others hurriedly received the order, did not delay, and immediately went out of the palace to get busy, after all, the situation is urgent now, such as Tian Yi and others have already leaned on the royal family, naturally do not want Luoyang to fall into the hands of South Korea.

After sending off a group of ministers, Zhou Bian took off the thick armor with the help of Concubine Liu and Qiaonu, etc., when the armor was made last year, he couldn't stand up when he wore it, but now it's almost over, and he can walk freely in it, and it seems that this year's meal has not been in vain.

After taking off the armor, the inside of the armor was already soaked with sweat, and the underwear was stuck to the body, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Concubine Liu hurriedly arranged to boil water for a bath, and after some service, she changed into thin single clothes, and suddenly felt much more comfortable, and at this time, the messenger of the young master also came, and the city had been cleaned up, and more than two hundred corpses were cleaned up, and more than a dozen people were angry, at this time, the number of dead had reached more than 3,300 people. Moreover, the Korean army was still trustworthy, and after our people withdrew to the city, they really only sent 5,000 unarmed servants to collect the corpses.

After thinking about it carefully, the number of dead was not unacceptable, and after sending the messenger away, Zhou Bian suddenly felt tired for a while, and before it was dinner time, he went to sleep, and fell asleep without thinking about closing his eyes.
