Chapter 562: Prevarication
~~~~~~
As the saying goes, 'History is always written by the victors'. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This sentence seems very simple, but the deep meaning and the blood color in it are not insiders, and it is obviously difficult to understand clearly.
After Li Yuanqing personally killed the three subordinates of Meng Gangdu of the Yellow Flag Department and took out their hearts and livers, Meng Gangdu couldn't hold back anymore, a handful of snot and a handful of blood and tears, like a wolf with its claws cut off, and could only kneel and wag its tail at Li Yuanqing and beg for mercy.
Soon, through the mouth of Meng Gang Dudu, Li Yuanqing learned more about the movements of the old slave and the main force of Houjin, and also confirmed his previous judgment.
Among the main forces of the old slaves and the Houjin, at this time, the epidemic is epidemic, and the combat power has begun to be lacking, the key is that their grain and grass and follow-up supplies, especially medicines, are also quite insufficient.
In particular, the Mongolian miscellaneous laborers, who lived in poor conditions, have now died.
Li Yuanqing was very clear.
In the past, even if he did not do anything about the water source of the Houjin army, after the flood, due to the constraints of various conditions, the outbreak of epidemics in the Houjin army was inevitable.
After the flood, the earth drifted into disarray.
Finding a clean source of water is no easy task.
The water source of these floods, even after heating and boiling, may not be safe, let alone the water that has not been boiled.
But Li Yuanqing's side has long been fully prepared.
Drinking water, even from wells, must be filtered through sedimentation and charcoal before being boiled for drinking.
The food is also based on the simplest dry cakes, and the matter of washing hands before and after eating is strictly ordered by Li Yuanqing, otherwise, it will be a military stick at the lightest, or even directly beheaded.
But even so, Li Yuanqing was still a little uneasy.
The main thing is that the retreat was too urgent, there was not enough time to rest, and he and his soldiers were now in urgent need of bathing and disinfection.
However, at this time, such a state has already defeated Amin and Tan Bai, and the main force of Houjin is afraid that it will be difficult to organize more favorable manpower for a while. Li Yuanqing and the sons of the Changsheng Camp also had more time to respond.
For cleaning the battlefield, the sons and daughters of the Immortal Battalion have long been familiar with it.
All the dead tartar heads were cut off, easily sterilized with quicklime, and wrapped directly in oilcloth.
Unfortunately, the situation is not stable enough, and the stock of quicklime is not much, so it can only be treated simply, and after returning to Gaizhou City, the disinfection of quicklime will be increased to ensure that the first level of these tartars will not rot.
After all, it's all white silver.
As for their armor and clothes, they were naturally all stripped naked, leaving nothing behind.
Over the years, Li Yuanqing has been emphasizing that 'waste is crime'.
In this regard, this consciousness has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the children.
It's a pity that the headless corpses of these Tartars don't have much effect, and they can only cheapen the beasts in this wilderness.
At this time, although the flood has just passed, the weather is extremely hot, even a little outrageously hot.
At this time, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, but the sun seemed to be crazy, and the hot sun shone directly on the ground.
In this way, the corpses of these war horses obviously can't be dragged away directly.
They all have wounds on their bodies, and I am afraid that it will not take half an hour for them to rot and grow maggots.
Fortunately, the sons and daughters had already experienced, and slaughtered the carcasses of these war horses one after another, cut them into pieces, and the firefighters set up hundreds of cauldrons by the stream not far away, and after boiling the hot water for a long time, they put the horse meat into the pot and fried it.
This will allow you to keep the horse meat for a few more days.
There are more than 1,000 war horses, which seem to have a lot of meat, but Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhongbu, plus these Han slaves, there are more than 60,000 people, and on average, it is only a matter of minutes.
After all this, it was already noon, almost one o'clock, Chen Zhong also got the news at this time, and personally rode back to check.
He also brought back good news, the front team had already met with the reinforcements received by the Gaizhou side, and they were resting more than 20 miles ahead.
The Ming army was jubilant in an instant.
Li Yuanqing didn't dare to slack off, and ordered the sons and daughters to eat some dry cakes and hurry away, and in the evening, it was the time for them to feast.
…………
But at this time, Amin and Tan Bai, who had already rushed out fifty miles away, were not so interested.
After they escaped from the battle formation of the Ming army, they first ran north for more than 20 miles, waited for more than half an hour, gathered the rout, and then ran westward, until there was no trace of the Ming army's sentinels, and then dared to really stop and rest.
In a clearing on a high slope in the wilderness, Tan Bai glared at the south viciously, and there was unspeakable resentment on his young face.
Although he had long known that Li Yuanqing was difficult to entangle, and he had some means, he never expected that Li Yuanqing would be so difficult, just like a mad dog.
No!
How can a mad dog compare to Li Yuanqing?
Li Yuanqing and his immortal camp are simply a group of hungry wolves!
When he went, a team of nearly 6,000 people, at this time, I was afraid that it was just over 4,000 people, this, how could he go back and explain to the old slave!
Otherwise, Tan Bai was not too distressed, after all, he had just been promoted to Jialazhangjing for a few days, and he didn't have much affection for the two Niu Lu who were newly vassaled with him.
But his headquarters Niulu, in this battle, in order to cover his breakthrough, there were more than 100 casualties, and even, the corpses of many warriors did not have time to be recovered.
This......
This is the blood and bones left to him by his old son Adun!
Without the support of these warriors, how can he gain a foothold in Dajin?
Especially not far from the side, Amin was staring at him as if he was eating people.
How could Tan Bai not understand Amin's thoughts?
This dog offal, he is still a big Baylor! In this battle, this dog's day is afraid that all the spearheads will be pushed on him!
Even if he thinks about it with his ass, Tan Bai can know that if he goes back on this trip, he will be greeted by a storm that he can't resist at all.
It's a pity that at this time, he has no other way than to face it.
Thinking about it, Tan Bai endured the unhappiness in his heart, walked quickly to Amin's side, and respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to Amin: "Slave Tan Bai, I've seen Big Baylor." ”
Amin smiled coldly: "Tan Bai, what else do you have to say?" If you hadn't escaped, how could my Dajin's warriors have been so defeated? ”
Amin's spit was about to be sprayed on Tan Bai's face.
Tan Bai couldn't help but scold in his heart: "If it weren't for you, a dog crumb, who lost his mind when he saw Li Yuanqing, and was about to rush into battle indiscriminately, how could there be a current failure?" ”
But Amin is the head of the four Baylors, how noble is his status?
Tan Bai knew that it was impossible for him to fight against Amin, so he hurriedly kowtowed respectfully and said, "Lord Belle, this battle is all the fault of the slaves. It's the minions who are too anxious and don't take advantage of the opportunity. If the slave had been decisive at that time and rushed directly into Li Yuanqing's battle formation, perhaps, the situation would not have been what it was like at this time. ”
"Humph---!"
Amin snorted coldly: "You still have self-knowledge." Tanbai, how much the Great Khan trusts you, but you have so failed the Great Khan's good intentions! Think about it! How to explain to the Great Khan! ”
Tan Bai had cold sweat beads oozing out on his forehead, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, and after a moment, he hurriedly gathered his mind and said: "Lord Belle, the slave knows that the slave deserves death, but the order for this charge, yes, it was given by you, Lord Belle!" ”
"What? Dog minion! Do you dare to threaten you? ”
Amin couldn't help but be furious, kicked hard, and kicked directly on Tan Bai's heart.
Tan Bai stumbled and suddenly rolled to the ground, but after a moment, he hurriedly got up and knelt down respectfully in front of Amin: "Lord Belle, minion, minion has no intention of disrespecting you. It's just that things have happened, and the minion and Lord Belle are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If you want to give an account to the Great Khan, the minions still need to work together with Lord Belle. ”
"Hmph."
Amin sneered: "Obviously, you escaped from the battle, greedy for life and afraid of death, and even wanted to get involved with the master!" Tan Bai, you dog minion, what are your intentions? ”
Tan Bai hurriedly said: "Lord Belle, the slave has no intention of being disrespectful to you, let alone has any intentions towards you. The minions just want to get this thing over. Lord Belle, you can think about the situation at that time, if the minions don't break through, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you will also ......"
Amin was even more angry, and slapped Tan Bai with a kick: "Dog minion, if you hadn't escaped from the battle, you would have already taken off Li Yuanqing's dog head!" Tan Bai, you don't have to use strong words, you are unforgivable in this battle! ”
Tan Bai was prepared this time, although Amin's kick was strong, it didn't kick him over.
He forcibly swallowed the evil breath in his chest, and hurriedly said: "Lord Belle, the slave deserves death for his own sin. But if the slave dies, Lord Belle, I'm afraid you will never be able to please it! The slave is despicable, and it is not a pity to die, but Lord Belle, don't forget, there are still brothers with the yellow flag watching from behind! ”
Amin reacted immediately.
If Tan Bai is forced to die, if this dog crumb really bites back without knowing whether he is alive or dead, it will be really difficult for him to deal with it.
After all, as the commander of this battle, he gave the order to charge.
Tan Bai saw the change in Amin's expression, and at this time, seeing that the fire was almost over, he carefully lowered his voice and said, "Lord Belle, the slave has a plan, but you and the slave are safe and sound." ”
"Huh?"
Amin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Tan Bai.
Tan Bai suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "Lord Belle, have you forgotten that there was a return from the slave before, Meng Gangdudu, was captured alive by Li Yuanqing?" ”
Amin's pupils widened suddenly.
Of course he understood what Tan Bai meant.
He is a big Baylor, if he bites Tan Bai, the little Jialazhangjing, even if he can survive this catastrophe, I am afraid that ~~, he will also fall into the name of 'narrow-minded'.
But~~, if he and Tan Bai reach an agreement and push this black cauldron on Meng Gangdudu, the two of them will go to save people......
Thinking about it, Amin suddenly sneered: "Go on." ”
…………
In the evening, Li Yuanqing and the sons of the Changsheng Camp successfully crossed the Polo Pot and came to a small stream five miles to the south, where they joined the brigade.
This place is less than thirty miles away from Gaizhou City, even if the journey is a little slower, at this time tomorrow, they can safely arrive at Gaizhou City.
And once they arrived in Gaizhou City, the Houjin army had no chance.
In fact, after defeating Amin and Tambai, it was difficult for the Houjin army to pose a threat to them anymore.
The Gaizhou reinforcements brought a large number of urgently needed daily necessities and medicines carried by the fleet, and on the temporary camp side of the large army, both the soldiers and the Han slaves had already received the news of Li Yuanqing's victory in the south of Yaozhou.
The most encouraging thing is that Li Yuanqing decided to reward the three armies tonight, and it is these Han slaves that everyone has a share.
Tonight, everyone will have a hearty horse meat feast.
At this time, seeing Li Yuanqing and the warriors of the Changsheng Camp returning, the crowd cheered, "General Zhenguo Wan Sheng!" ”
"General Zhenguo is mighty!"
"Zhenguo General Gonghou Wandai ......"
“……”
Looking at the cheering crowd, Chen Zhong couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing, I knew that I would also stay behind." It's a pity that this is a good opportunity! ”
