Wang Shichong shook his head: "Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, our army is hanging the people this time, and there is no way to cut down the people, how can it do the same thing as Goguryeo?" This will only make the Goguryeo army hate the same enemy and fight to the death, and we will also pay a greater price. ”

Fei Qingnu's face jumped with a cyan birthmark, and he muttered in a low voice: "But it's obvious that I beheaded this Yang Chengzhe, and after this head is taken down, the battle merits still have to be counted." ”

Wang Shichong laughed and patted Fei Qingnu on the shoulder: "General Fei, you don't have to worry, tens of thousands of soldiers in my Flying Tiger Army, all of them have seen with their own eyes the experience of your axe splitting Yang Chengzhe, everyone can testify for you, I have already ordered the record to join the army to write down this note, last night in the battle, you are the first meritorious, how can you not recognize it, rest assured!" ”

A stone fell to the ground in Fei Qingnu's heart, he smiled, and his brows stretched.

Wang Shichong knew that these soldiers abandoned their families and careers and came to this land of Liaodong thousands of miles away, most of them were to make meritorious contributions and fight for their lives, if they didn't give them military exploits, then these Qiu Ba might cut themselves with knives at night, especially this Fei Qingnu, mighty and brave, is a first-class brave general, and has a simple brain, as long as he is given enough benefits, he is willing to charge for himself, and now that Mai Tiecane is dead, he has no backer, just take the opportunity to collect the account and become a future gold medal fighter.

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "General Fei, have all the final results of last night been counted?" ”

After Fei Qingnu finished the battle last night, he had been busy with this matter, and when he heard Wang Shichong take the initiative to ask. Hurriedly said: "The statistics are out." Our army lost 727 men. Six hundred and thirty-two people were wounded, half of whom died in the river while forcibly crossing, and the rest were mainly casualties in the battle with the enemy cavalry, and there were almost no losses in the storming of the stockade, and the enemy was beheaded 3,121 and 420 prisoners were taken. are all being held aside and waiting for you to deal with them. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It's really not easy for you to endure not to cut off the heads of these captives." ”

Fei Qingnu smiled: "Didn't you give an order yesterday?" You must not kill prisoners without permission, but to be honest, General Wang, the brothers are also the teams of each team are giving strict orders, so I will see that everyone does not do anything, and I will not hide it from you, except for those who are seriously injured and cannot resist, those Goguryeo soldiers who hesitated to surrender immediately, and lightly wounded soldiers, still killed a lot of us. We also beheaded more than a dozen sergeants yesterday to enforce military discipline. ”

Wang Shichong knew that there were many troops in this army. It was Dai Xiao who went to war, especially the family members led by the two brothers Mai Mengcai and Mai Zhongcai, it was very difficult for them to stop, and it was not easy to kill all the prisoners, he sighed and said: "Those Goguryeo prisoners, all of them have been released." ”

Fei Qingnu was stunned again, and said curiously: "Why did you let them go?" Not killing is already an open side, shouldn't these captives be taken captive and returned to China as slaves according to convention? Even if Lu Yuan can't be sent back for a while, they should be allowed to do hard labor and handymen with the army. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and said: "General Fei, this time our army is conquering Liaodong, attacking the city as the bottom, attacking the heart as the top, Goguryeo has been isolated from the Central Plains for too long, and the people's hearts are no longer to the Central Plains. ”

"If we try to kill these captives quickly, or stay and enslave, then the Goguryeo people will spread the word everywhere, saying that our Sui army is brutal, and all the way over, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and it will only make the Goguryeo cities resist desperately, and even if we capture the city, we can only harvest death and epidemics, which is not good for our major affairs."

Fei Qingnu understood a little, nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "But if these people go back and say that our Sui army will not kill prisoners, and those cities have surrendered, what will happen to our military exploits?" ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "General Fei, don't worry about this, the Supreme said that prisoners are also considered military merits, two captives are counted as a beheading, if the city surrenders, then the thousands of people in the city can be converted into half of the number of beheadings, this is not much safer and easier than bothering to attack the city?" ”

The corners of Fei Qingnu's mouth hooked, and he sighed: "That's still not enough to kill, with my kung fu, if I attack the city and trap the wall, at least I can cut dozens or hundreds of them in a battle, if they fall, I don't kill, and I have to share this military merit with the whole army, hey, it's still not enjoyable." ”

Wang Shichong knew that Fei Qingnu was a natural general, with a thirst for killing, and indeed a lifetime of martial arts, yesterday he saw Fei Qingnu after killing Yang Chengzhe, rushed into the Goguryeo army, cut people when he saw them, like a tiger into the flock of brave warriors, and only such a fierce general can attract his attention and want to become a subordinate in the future.

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Fei, you will be the chief general of the Flying Tiger Force of the former army in the future, how many prisoners you will kill when the time comes, how many you will kill yourself, it's not up to you to decide." Besides, for generals, the supreme is to calculate the military merits of the whole army, not to see how many people you have cut yourself. ”

Fei Qingnu's mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened: "General Wang, you, what do you mean by this?" Aren't you taking us with you? ”

Wang Shichong has already thought of a way to subdue Fei Qingnu, that is, if he wants to capture him, he will count his exploits more when he takes him, and then leave this army, Fei Qingnu is now just a tiger general, and he is only good at fighting on the battlefield, and he is not handsome, when the time comes, Yang Guang will most likely change someone to command, no matter who comes, it is unlikely that he will be so generous, and then Fei Qingnu will only take more care of his own interests, after the battle of Liaodong, as long as he is still alive, he will definitely try his best to take refuge in himself.

As for the Mai brothers, they are not as easy to collect as Fei Qingnu, and they may not really abandon the court to do that rebellious thing with themselves in the future, so forget it.

Wang Shichong sighed and said: "General Fei, you and I are destined to work together here, so I won't hide it from you, I, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, was only temporarily ordered, because the Supreme Honorable was quite complaining that I didn't save General Mai, and I had the intention of making credit for my crimes, this time we have gone to the east coast, and most of my command will be handed over, but before I leave, I will definitely find a way to fight a few more beautiful battles, for you, for the whole army to fight for some more military achievements."
