Chapter Forty-Eight: Surrender
The Hedong army sat on the ground one after another and lowered their blades. Waiting for us to be captured one by one. Very few people did not want to surrender and fled, but we did not care about him. Seeing that he had obtained the dawn, he realized the huge amount of his booty, and captured more than nine hundred and forty sturdy and usable men, as well as one hundred and ten war horses. More than 200 pairs of armor and 30,000 arrows.
At dawn I took the disarmed captives to their own camp and sat down. One or two hundred well-armed guards and soldiers watched them closely. I walked onto a makeshift earthen platform. Beckoning his subordinates, he put down dozens of buckets of steaming soup and steamed buns.
The captives had their eyes fixed on their food, and if they hadn't been watched, they would have grabbed it long ago.
I said loudly, "It's all hot soup with salt and enough steamed buns!" You may never know who you lost to. I'll sue you now, you've lost to me! The chief master of Xuzhou, the new uncle of Gu Jianwu! ”
Listening to what I said, my guards all chuckled, but the captives did not dare, but just looked at me with blank eyes.
I smiled and said, "I don't have any skills, I know that everyone is in this world, but they are just begging for a life." If you follow me, I will ensure that you have food, money, and officials! You can also marry a daughter-in-law who can pass on your ancestry! Guo Ping is a good man, his 2,000 people were killed by me with 500 people............"
A stout captive stood up, though a little out of shape. But he has long hands and long feet, and he is very imposing: "This master, if it weren't for the fact that our army had no food and was eager to fight, you wouldn't be able to defeat our little Grandpa Guo." ”
I sighed and asked, "What is your name and what position do you hold in the Hedong Army?" The captives around him were a little frightened and shrank their heads. Only the big man said proudly: "I am the Hedong Army, the horse army, the capital of Du Tao, and the fifty cavalry." ”
I nodded and smiled: "Very good, I appreciate my loyalty to the old master............ others thought I was murderous. That Du Tao looked even more awe-inspiring, ready to be a martyr.
But I didn't move: "If you are loyal, your old man Guo died at the hands of the Mongols, why did you vote for the Mongols again?" Du Tao was stunned, and only after a while did he say: "We follow Grandpa Guo, as for who he wants to vote for, we can't control." ”
I shouted, "You're all good men, good men!" It's not easy to go all the way from Hedong to Henan! I'm not worth it for you, the three generals of the Mongolian Han Army, Liu Heima, Zha Ra'er, Shi Tianze, but they only have 10,000 horses each, but they can run rampant all over the world. So I want you to follow me! What virtues do the Mongols have, everyone knows, no family is ruined and people die in the hands of the Mongols, how many of them are here? We are all together, and we can protect the territory and the people, and keep our own side safe. If you look at it, you don't know what you will do! Now let's say that these are all false, let's all look at the future. ”
As he spoke, he waved everyone to eat. Let these captives be organized according to their usual arrangement, and one by one they received soup and rice, and sat on the ground and devoured it. I looked at these more than 900 men, and I smiled very proudly. There are three more commanding men and horses under my command, although it is still undecided whether I will be able to do it or not, but after I have put it in order, my strength is much greater.
The current strength is enough, and my current ability is extremely difficult to train the 2,000 men and horses under my command in two places. No matter how much it is, the first is that it can't be raised, the second is also because of the lack of qualified junior officers, a large and inappropriate group of stragglers is also sent to death, and finally there are more people, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the Mongolian army. Now I don't have any plans to confront them head-on, so let Jin Guo carry it first. All I need is a few more dock walls
