Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wise General Jiang Qin
Just as Zhao Min was waiting in the county office, the guards reported that Zhao Yun had returned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Min hurriedly got up and welcomed Zhao Yun into the inner room, and only after the guest and host sat down did he ask, "Can Zilong gain anything from this trip?" ”
Zhao Yun still had that calm expression, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”
Zhao Min was overjoyed: "Sure enough, it's still Zilong!" ”
It turned out that Zhao Yun was let out of the city, the purpose was to break the deadlock on the field, anyway, Zhao Yun singled out Zhao Min and didn't worry at all, even if the enemy was besieged, he could escape, could he still chase four legs with two legs? Besides, even if it is besieged, how can Zhao Zilong, who comes and goes freely among the ten thousand troops in Changbanpo, be able to keep the rebels? The second is naturally to try to quietly snatch back the three ballistas in the chaos of the army. Therefore, after Zhao Yun called the formation and instigated the two sides to fall into a battle, he slipped aside without revealing the mountain, waited for the two sides to contact the bloody battle, and when the two sides were flawless, he suddenly entered the rear of the enemy army, killed the enemy troops guarding the ballista, and then guarded the side of the ballista. The enemy army is too busy to take care of itself at this time, and naturally has no mental awareness; And because the Qingzhou Army saw the sassy and heroic posture of the white-robed general calling the battle in front of the battle, they didn't dare to provoke it for a while. It was not until Zhao Min sent the soldiers to pick up the crossbow to come and tow the crossbow cart away, the two sides were still stuck in a chaotic battle, so that Zhao Yun was able to swagger the ballista away from the battlefield, because he made a small circle in order to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible, so he did not transport it back to the city until this time. At this point, all five of the rebels' ballistas fell into the hands of Zhao Min.
In this way, Zhao Min's three things have reached two, even if he can't take advantage of Qingzhou Mansion in the end, at least he won't suffer, and he can finally calm down and talk to Cao Tingshi in peace. To say that this person's mentality is also strange, at the beginning when his hands were empty, he suffered from gains and losses, for fear that he would end up with nothing; But once the basic needs were satisfied, he suddenly became calm, thinking that even Zhao Min was a little funny about his state of mind.
Perhaps it was because of the identity of Lord Thorn Shi of Qingzhou Mansion, it had been more than an hour since the end of the war, and the tent still stopped in place, without the slightest sign of moving towards Pingshou City. It's just right for Zhao Min, anyway, he doesn't want to meet the scheming Lord Thorn Shi early, he is willing to drag it out like this! After the war, there are countless problems such as material sorting, prisoner inventory, and troop reorganization, and the Qingzhou army enters the city one minute later, so they can have more time to repair, and it is best to delay it until they digest all the loot!
Until three o'clock in the Shen season, Jiang Qin actually dragged a fully loaded convoy back to the city! At this time, even Zhao Min couldn't help but be surprised after getting the news! As Meng Hou said, the purpose of sending Jiang Qin out was actually to explore the bottom limit of the Qingzhou army, and there was no real hope of achieving many results, at most it was to play the role of a-stirring stick. I didn't expect this stirring to really bring back a huge result, why didn't Zhao Min be stunned? As mentioned earlier, the crossbow machine is a strategic resource, and each state and county only has a small amount of inventory, most of which are still used by the border army, so it is difficult for even Qingzhou Mansion to have many crossbowmen. is such a rare object that can instantly rewrite the battle situation under certain conditions, how could the Qingzhou Army give up the results of the battle so easily?
Zhao Min was full of doubts and invited Jiang Qin into the inner room, and before Jiang Qin could sit down, he couldn't wait to ask: "How did Gongyi snatch food from the Qingzhou army?" Tell me more! ”
Jiang Qin's face was full of red light, and he said with a smile: "The king of Beihai is not in a hurry, and he will say it one by one at the end." After speaking, he sat down and continued: "The last general led 500 people to carry 5 carts to the west of the city, but seeing that the war situation was basically over, the Qingzhou army counted the prisoners everywhere and collected the spoils. The last general thought to himself, there should be a place for the spoils collected by the Qingzhou Army, right? But looking around, there was no sign of a concentration point. The last general simply randomly asked a team of Qingzhou soldiers who were collecting supplies to inquire, and it turned out that they had concentrated the supplies in the rebel marshal camp! The last general was heartbroken, and simply ordered his subordinates to also check on the battlefield together, and if they found that they were useless, they were all loaded on the cart they carried. After barely loading two carts, he led the soldiers to the handsome camp pointed out by the soldiers before. Before arriving at the camp, he saw that the materials were piled up. The last general, pretending to be an escort carrying supplies, swaggered into the camp gate, and the guards at the gate also ignored us. ”
Zhao Min had already expected what would happen at this time. In addition to the standing state army under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou Governor, it also includes the county soldiers of Qi State, Linjing, Changguo, Linqu, etc., so it is normal that they do not know each other completely. Coupled with the Shang Tu of the Xia Dynasty, all the standard military uniforms are based on yellow shirts, so at a glance, the troops led by Jiang Qin are no different from those next to them, not to mention that people come and go in the camp, where did the Qingzhou soldiers who guard the camp think that there will be outsiders here, so it is not unusual for Jiang Qin and others to be able to mix in. However, Jiang Qin's adaptability is really good, and he probably deserves the title of a wise general!
Sure enough, Jiang Qin continued: "When I entered the Shuai camp, I saw that there were mountains of materials, grain, clothing, woodwork, blades and other materials piled up together but no one took care of them. The last general did not pay attention to the others, and ordered the soldiers to scatter to look for the crossbow machine, and when they found it, they all loaded it on the cart. Fortunately, five carts were brought for the shipment of supplies, and three carts of crossbow machines were fully loaded! In order to avoid being conspicuous, the soldiers were asked to disperse the three-cart crossbow machine to the other two carts, and then take some cotton clothes and wood to cover it and walk out. When I went out of the camp, I was interrogated by the guard, and the last general lied that it was getting late, and the captain ordered to take some warm clothes for the soldiers to use, and the soldier saw that the car was full of cotton clothes and wood, and it was not worth anything, so he let me go out of the camp until I returned to the city, and no one interrogated, so I transported thousands of crossbow machines back smoothly! ”
Zhao Min couldn't help but laugh dumbly. So that's okay? The original intention was to test the bottom limit, but the bottom limit was not detected, but the crossbow machine was really brought back! It's okay, since you don't have to tear your face, it's better, it's a big deal, I'll pretend to be confused, and I won't admit it, can you still snatch it back from me? Immediately, Zhao Min smiled at Jiang Qin and said: "This time I worked hard again, and Min Shu didn't want to go; Min originally meant to celebrate the public success, but now he still needs to wait for Lord Assassin Shi to visit at any time, if he sees that our army is setting up a banquet at this time, it may be inappropriate, so he has to wait until this matter is settled. Gongyi is brave and strategic, wise and brave, and Min can get the help of Gongyi, which is really a blessing to invite heaven! ”
Zhao Min's words praised Jiang Qin a little bit of a retreat, after all, no matter how rough and meticulous Jiang Qin is, he is a martial artist after all, and it is really difficult for him to say some crown words like a literati without changing his face. Seeing Jiang Qin squirming, Zhao Min was also amused in his heart, and patted Jiang Qin's shoulder and said: "Min knows that Gongyi is loyal, let's rest early!" ”
Jiang Qin's face was red, and he hurriedly said goodbye and left, only to tremble with joy in the back of Zhao Min, after all, a big man like Jiang Qin showed an expression like twisting and blushing, and anyone could not help laughing.
By this time, the results had basically been counted. The person in charge of reporting the situation was Xiahouying, and when Xiahoujie stayed in Jimo, Xiahouying was Zhao Minjun's chief logistics officer. In this expedition to Pingshou, the Mexican army killed more than 470 people, seriously wounded more than 200 people, and minor injuries were not counted. However, for Zhao Min's troops, who have a high degree of alcohol and can disinfect wounds, as long as they are not missing arms and legs, ordinary injuries are not fatal.
On the other hand, more than 2,300 enemy troops were captured, five crossbow carts were captured, and nearly 3,000 crossbows were strong with one stone. Since most of the dead soldiers were from new soldiers, Zhao Min arranged for the bodies of the soldiers to be properly placed and buried in Jimo when they returned to the army; As for the soldiers from distant hometowns such as the Huben camp, they were cremated on the spot, packed the ashes into boxes according to the rules of the retort mountain, and sent people to escort them back to their hometowns.
When the arrangement was being made, a personal guard suddenly came to report: "Someone from the Qingzhou Assassin Mansion is here, and it is said that Lord Assassin Cao will come to visit in person, so that the King of Beihai is ready to greet him!" ”
Zhao Min couldn't help laughing, this Lord Cao didn't come sooner or later, he came when he lost the crossbow machine, it seems that the person who came is not good! At the moment, he smiled and said to everyone: "Since Lord Thorn Shi is visiting in person, I will go to greet him and see what kind of medicine is sold in this Lord Cao's gourd!" ”
