Chapter 536: Feng Guozhang's Fate
The enemy camp was sharply reduced from about 100,000 soldiers and horses to less than 20,000 and less than 30,000. The camp has become empty, and Feng Guozhang walked in it depressed, his back was so lonely.
This situation was something he never expected, starting from the time he sent troops to attack the Yejiabao army, he took it for granted. Either he would die in battle or win the Yejiabao army, Feng Guozhang never thought that he would surrender one day.
The soldiers and horses of the other three families have been withdrawn, and the Yejiabao army did not interfere with it, but let it go. This can already show that Ye Shaolong seems to have learned about their experience first.
Perhaps in Feng Guozhang's speculation, it is very likely that the sudden incident in Shandong was arranged by Ye Shaolong. In the end, he was defeated by the Yejiabao army, and he was defeated so completely that he didn't even have a chance to resist.
The reinforcements behind him have not yet arrived, and now there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the barracks who have completely lost their fighting spirit. With their current state, let alone fighting, if they want to fight, it is estimated that no one will agree.
All his subordinates could refuse to fight, but he, as a general, could not put their lives on the line. Since the left and right have already lost, Feng Guozhang can't even deprive these remaining soldiers of their lives at the last moment.
Out of concern for the safety of those subordinates who followed him from birth to death, Feng Guozhang finally chose to surrender. But he will never be humiliated by the majesty of Yejiabao, even if he dies, he will die on his own sword.
This is Feng Guozhang's only and only bit of dignity. It is also the last bit of dignity that he is proud of as the marshal of Hebei and the supreme ruler.
There was a sound of heart-pounding footsteps behind him, the Yejiabao army had arrived, and the subordinates outside had already begun to throw away their weapons and surrender.
Feng Guozhang turned his back to the gate of the camp, pulled out the big knife at his waist, and gently put it on his neck.
There was a slight sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Ye Shaolong slowly approached Feng Guozhang, who had his back to him.
"If you can let go of the unwillingness in your heart and serve me, Ben Shuai can spare you from dying!" Ye Shaolong stopped at a distance of five meters from Feng Guozhang.
Feng Guozhang didn't turn around from beginning to end, facing everything silently, and only after a long time did he hear him say firmly: "Please don't trample on my dignity, and let my family go." Feng is willing to apologize for his own crimes! ”
Ye Shaolong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Yes!" ”
Turning the horse's head, Ye Shaolong didn't take another look at Feng Guozhang, but left on his own.
When the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind Feng Guozhang, the big knife across his neck in his hand was pulled fiercely, and in the blood splashed, his body immediately could no longer stand firmly, and fell straight in a pool of blood.
A generation of heroes ended their lives in this way, and those subordinates who died on the battlefield together were buried here.
The moment Feng Guozhang's body fell, the subordinates who had already disarmed and surrendered in the distance knelt silently. No matter what happened to Feng Guozhang during his lifetime, whether it was good or bad, it doesn't matter at this moment.
His subordinates were only grateful to him at the moment, and they all mourned for him in silence.
Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and the winner is king, and there is no word for pity on the battlefield. The loser must be judged by the winner!
Feng Guozhang used his death to apologize to everyone, and indirectly saved the remaining more than 20,000 subordinates. Ye Shaolong admired this very much, and did not let him be violent in the wilderness.
Whether it's a hero or a hero, in short, he's a hero at the moment. And heroes should be respected and treated as they should, Ye Shaolong did not miss him at all.
Several soldiers of the Yejiabao army came with wooden coffins, cleaned up the corpses for them, and then buried them alive. and gave the more than 20,000 soldiers a day to handle Feng Guozhang's funeral and send him this last journey.
The enemy has already walked, and the surrender of surrender should be the time to pull out the camp and set off, the gate of Hebei has been opened for the Yejiabao army, and the time to march has come.
A day later, 30,000 reinforcements arrived, without any suspense, and 30,000 reinforcements also surrendered to Ye Shaolong. Assembled and reorganized the army, a full 120,000 soldiers and horses began to set off for Hebei.
Ye Shaolong did things neatly, and did not delay much in the same place, but reorganized the army and immediately set off to lead the troops into Hebei.
Wang Qingwei is very satisfied with this!
When the army set off, Wang Qingwei went with him again. Because of Feng Guozhang's surrender, the Yejiabao army no longer needed to fight, and after collecting Feng Guozhang's 50,000 soldiers and horses, there was no stop, and the army began to march towards Hebei.
"Ye Shuai, I didn't expect this Feng Guozhang to surrender, now you have reorganized tens of thousands of his subordinates. It was when the soldiers were strong and strong, and Wang had a reluctant request that he didn't know whether to talk about it or not. Wang Qingwei snorted, looking embarrassed to speak.
Ye Shaolong despised him fiercely in his heart, and then squeezed out a little smile on his face, and said, "If you have something to say, you don't need to be so polite." With this situation today, your alliance has helped me a lot. If there is any need to mention, as long as it is reasonable, Ben Shuai can boast about Haikou, and it will definitely be done. ”
If Ye Shaolong hadn't looked at Mr. Yi's face, he wouldn't have gone to Wang Qingwei.
The latter hesitated for a moment, and then said bluntly: "Yixian's meaning is very clear, he wants to take advantage of the chaos to take the whole of Shandong." But Ye Shuai should also know that this Shandong is not easy to win. So this time, I want Ye Shuai to immediately lead his troops to Shandong, and don't worry about Hebei's affairs first. ”
Wang Qingwei's proposal is absolutely excessive, if the Yejiabao army is not like smoothing Hebei, it will go deep like this, and it may be turned on its back at any time. Not to mention that it has to fight directly in Shandong, which is completely stupid.
Ye Shaolong glanced at Wang Qingwei, with a hint of hypocrisy on his face, and nodded and said, "Regardless of Hebei, go straight in, Mr. Wang don't have to joke." Hebei must be flat, Yejiabao army can be fully stationed, as for the matter of Shandong, Mr. Wang can lead the way, let my men divide 50,000 troops to attack Shandong first, what does Mr. Wang think? ”
Wang Qingwei frowned, as far as he knew, there were still more than 100,000 remnants of the three forces in Shandong. However, Ye Shaolong was only willing to send 50,000 troops to assist the Alliance, which seemed a bit unreasonable.
After some quiet thought, Wang Qingwei reluctantly agreed. After all, he also knew the situation of the Yejiabao army, and it was indeed a bit difficult for Ye Shaolong to ignore the safety of the Yejiabao army and drive straight into Shandong.
"In that case, I wonder who Ye Shuai is going to send with me?" Wang Qingwei had no choice but to try to select the generals who would fight. The person he likes the most is none other than Su Can, after all, the relationship between the two is there.
