Chapter 7 Collect your heart
Cheng Yue didn't care about the reward, and turned around and asked, "Have you prepared everything?" ”
Zhang Gui took off and bowed down and replied yes.
Zhang Gui was originally a military attache of the imperial court, heroic and loyal, but now he is more and more obedient to Cheng Yue, a person who has no official position and is younger than him. After this big victory, he has unconsciously put himself in the position of Cheng Yue's subordinates. He also knew in his heart that Cheng Yue's future prospects were limitless, and he would definitely follow suit if he performed well at this time. Originally, he was a little unhappy when he was sent to follow Cheng Yue at the beginning, but now it is all hope for the future.
Cheng Yuewen Tianxiang and Zhang Gui said: "Gong Wen Xiang, please rest first, Zhang Gui, you also go to rest, there will definitely be a large army attacking the camp tomorrow, and you are counting on the two chiefs!" ”
Zhang Gui heard Cheng Yue call his name directly, and knew that Cheng Yue had accepted him, so he relaxed and happily agreed.
Cheng Yue took the detachment to the prisoners who were settling down and looked at it, the tent blankets and everything were very nervous, and only a dozen people could sleep in a small tent. If the blanket is not enough, the dead horse will be skinned and wiped off the bloodstains and covered directly on the body.
The captives were already surprised to see many Mongols serving Cheng Yue before, and now they were even more surprised to see Cheng Yue himself, they didn't expect this person to be so young, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he didn't see how strong he was, but those soldiers in the army were very in awe of him. Many people saluted as soon as they saw him coming, and some Mongols even knelt on the ground and kissed the land he was walking on.
The captives knew that this was the highest respect of the Mongols. Thinking that his more than 2,000 people were completely defeated by 300 people, and he became suspicious for a while, could it be that this person was sent by God?
Cheng Yue walked to the captives and carefully inspected their tents and covers, and suddenly a captive in his thirties stood up and saluted Cheng Yue: "Dare to ask if you are Cheng Gongzi, right?" ”
Cheng Yue nodded.
The captive saluted again: "Cheng Gongzi doesn't have to bother, since we have been captured, we naturally have no intention of enjoying the blessings." Cheng Gongzi killed General Dong, and it was useless to win us over. The captives around him were silent when they heard his words, but their expressions showed admiration.
Cheng Yue knew that Dong Wenbing was quite popular, and he never thought that he could immediately subdue these people. He looked at him and said, "What's your name?" What for? ”
The captive smiled indifferently and replied, "Little Sun Fu is just a ten-master commander. ”
"Look at you as a veteran, aren't you brave in battle? Why just a ten-captain? ”
Sun Fu pulled off his clothes, pointed to the dense wounds on them and said, "I have been waiting for nearly a hundred battles, and there is no wound on the back from the face!" Never only hurt in front! Everyone has killed at least dozens of people, which can say that we are not elite soldiers? ”
"Oh, and then?"
"Hey, hey." Sun Fu smiled bitterly, but he couldn't answer.
Cheng Yue suddenly remembered something and asked, "You used to be Li Pu's people, right?" ”
The faces of these captives changed dramatically when they asked this question, and some of them even wept at this question.
Cheng Yue couldn't help but sigh, no wonder.
Shandong Li Pu raised an army against the Yuan thirteen years ago, and his general Tian Dushuai surrendered to the enemy, and the rest of the people were in chaos, and Li Pu was seized and surrendered. At that time, Li Pu had tens of thousands of Zhejiang and Lianjing soldiers who were brave and good at fighting, but they were scattered among the armies and killed one after another. Dong Wenbing saw that there were too many people, and after speaking, the rest were spared from being killed. Dong Wenbing later entered Yidu alone to subdue the hearts of the army, so these elite soldiers could be used by Dong Wenbing, but they could only be led by the Mongols or Semu people, and could not be promoted.
Cheng Yue gently patted the wound on Sun Fu's chest, and said loudly: "I don't know how General Li treated you back then, and I don't know what you experienced back then, but I can tell you loudly here that General Li is not wrong to resist the tyrannical yuan!" You are not wrong to raise troops with General Lee! Your brother has been slain, and the enmity is as deep as the sea! Dong Wenbing doesn't want to kill you? It's just that more kills and fewer kills! Leave your heads down and die for those who kill you." Is it a man's work to confess a thief as a father? ”
The captives around them all changed their faces and became thoughtful. The other captive jumped up at this moment and shouted, "You killed us too!" You want us to die for you! How are you different from them? ”
Cheng Yue pointed at him and shouted, "That's good! I'll tell you the difference! What did Yuan Bing do? Murder and robbery, insulting women, all kinds of evil! What did I Cheng Yue do? I'm going to fight to the death with the Yuan army after dawn! I have less than a thousand men, but I'm going to let you live, and I'd rather risk the instability of the barracks! The last time you were captured, you were scattered and killed, and I gave you food and shelter, and I refused to treat you badly, nor did I separate you! I didn't kill you! Most of the people in my barracks are prisoners, and they were still fighting with me yesterday, but today they are my brothers, and I have only one word to tell them, survive, and live a good life with us, if you don't believe it, you ask them! I am the only one who rushed to the camp to kill Dong Wenbing, 300 people went out with me, and 300 people came back with me! ”
Cheng Yue yelled louder and louder, and said that he was rarely excited later.
When Totoh and his subordinates heard Cheng Yue's words confirmed one by one, they couldn't help but be moved to their knees and cry.
The captive who jumped up was stammered by Cheng Yue's words, and when he saw the performance of a group of Mongols who escaped them, he naturally knew that Cheng Yue was telling the truth, and some of the captives were in tears, and some were extremely excited.
A captive who was sitting on the ground just now stood up, knelt down on one knee in front of Cheng Yue, and said loudly: "The Mongols don't treat us Han people as human beings!" The little Bao Liu, willing to die for Cheng Gongzi! ”
As soon as someone made a start, more people immediately rushed over, shouting loudly in unison: "I am willing to die for Cheng Gongzi!" ”
Next, all the captives knelt down, and even the one who jumped up and questioned Cheng Yue just now and Sun Fu knelt down in embarrassment, and shouted again: "I am willing to die for Cheng Gongzi!" ”
The group also knelt down and shouted, "May I die for my master!" That's when they really got back to their hearts.
Cheng Yue raised his right arm, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly: "Okay! Never give up, life and death together! ”
Everyone raised their right arms and clenched their fists, "Never give up, life and death together!" ”
Cheng Yue burst out laughing, and everyone burst out laughing. Cheng Yue ordered: "Hurry up and rest, I'm afraid there will be a big battle after dawn, and those horse meat are still waiting for you, tell you, you definitely have to applaud the horse meat I made!" ”
Turning around, he also asked to take off and rest, he was also tired from the day.
Except for those who had not finished their work, they all went to rest, and the guards guarding the prisoners were removed.
Cheng Yue returned to his tent and opened a box, which contained five large bags of spices and some vegetables. It was originally intended to be prepared for a big barbecue party after the anti-terrorist operation, but now it is going to be used here.
Cheng Yue's heart moved, here are some vegetables that came to China after a long time, it is too wasteful to eat them like this, it is better to plant them here. Well, you have to keep it well, these things are worth a lot of money. Only took a few onions out.
Cheng Yue called over some soldiers who had not slept and asked them to bring water, salt, flour, ginger, plus onions and a little wine in their hands, set up an iron pot, and began to make smoked horse meat.
Those soldiers had never seen onions, and they all agreed that it was a mysterious condiment that they had obtained by the powerful Cheng Gongzi.
Smoked horse meat is a Kazakh practice, Cheng Yue once learned it by chance when he ate horse meat, but he didn't expect to use it now.
It was very troublesome for the cauldron to do this, and Cheng Yue was directing the soldiers to prepare for battle while making horse meat. By daybreak, the work was finally done and the horse meat was ready.
When the soldiers who had tossed all night got up, what was waiting for them was the horse meat that had been cut and red in color, different from what they had eaten before, there was no fishy smell, no stench, only fragrance.
More than two thousand people were stunned.
Cheng Yue said yesterday that the horse meat he made was delicious, and everyone thought he was joking, who didn't know that horse meat was unpalatable, but I didn't expect Cheng Yue to really make a completely different horse meat.
Because Cheng Yue was reluctant to use up too many onions, in fact, horse meat was not as delicious as he had eaten before, but this also made more than 2,000 soldiers smile one by one.
You must know that this is made by the highest commander of this army, and it is so delicious.
Wen Tianxiang really couldn't laugh or cry, how did you come to do the work of a cook as a commander? But don't say it, it's really good, the horse meat I've eaten before is really hard to swallow.
Zhang Gui ate less, and he ate it openly, and he had the heart to praise Cheng Yue but didn't know how to speak, praising a man's delicious food was no different from scolding him that year.
The captives are even fresher, and this kind of commander is really different.
