Chapter 278: Acceptance
The pursuit did not achieve much success, Huang Taiji's Chinese army has not been chaotic, the horses after a period of madness, was slowly pacified by the experienced cavalry, and then under the response of Huang Taiji, the cavalry slowly entered the formation, Huang Taiji commanded the troops to fight and retreat, and slowly opened the distance with the other party.
Wang Dalun saw that the opponent's large array was not chaotic, and after commanding the soldiers to chase and kill for a while, and after eliminating hundreds of cavalry, he also signaled Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The pursuing soldiers stopped their pursuit and began to clean up the battlefield, and many of the Tartar cavalry were caught off guard by their horses, and then trampled by the horses, and their heads naturally became a reward for the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield.
As for the war horses scattered on the battlefield, they were collected, and the war horses that died in battle and those who could not gallop on the battlefield after their lame legs were stabbed as a celebration feast for the soldiers at night.
Wang Dalun did not pay attention to the soldiers' actions to clean up the battlefield, he took people into Donggou City, Shang Kexi had already led people to greet him at the city gate, seeing Wang Dalun coming, Shang Kexi hurriedly took the lead and knelt on one knee, shouting: "See the commander!" ”
"Get up, it's wartime, you don't have to make such a big salute!" Wang Dalun nodded lightly, and then looked at Shang Kexi, who stood up, and saw that Shang Kexi was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked good. To paraphrase Chen Peisi's famous words, I can't imagine that you are born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you will betray the revolution, this is really unseemly, and you can't imagine that people who seem to be upright will also embark on that road.
"General Shang, this is the first time we've met, right? I have long heard that Shang Shen will be brave and extraordinary. Looking at it today, General Rufei is still alive, yes, do a good job! Wang Dalun smiled and encouraged.
"Thank you, Governor!" Shang Kexi hurriedly clasped his fists and gave a standing military salute. When Wang Dalun looked at him, he was also looking at Wang Dalun, he was so young! It was his greatest feeling, he didn't expect Wang Dalun to be able to do a lot of things that many people couldn't do at the age of a weak crown!
Am I old? Shang Kexi couldn't help but begin to doubt himself, although he had achieved many great victories under the leadership of Mao Wenlong in the past, he was able to face the hard regret in the field. This is the first time! Shang Kexi couldn't help but feel that it was very good to follow Wang Dalun. At least it's cool to fight, not aggrieved!
"Alright, everyone has been fighting for the day, so don't stand at the door. Let's go in and rest. I'm replacing wine with tea tonight. Two toasts to all of you! Wang Dalun smiled and said.
Shang Kexi listened to it, and admired Wang Dalun even more. I heard that Wang Dalun governs the army, the military discipline is very strict, and he has always set an example, not only does he not bring his family with him, but he also has a service soldier under him, not like some generals in the army at all.
In contrast, some generals flee when they hear the cannons, take advantage of the merits, and take the money when they have money. Wang Dalun can take the lead and treat soldiers well, this is the person who can really fight big battles and win battles. Shang Kexi admired it in his heart, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Commander, wait a minute, we will give you two cups!" ”
"Okay, but today we will drink tea, we eat meat in large pieces, and drink tea in large bowls, this is also very good! Everyone is going to let go of eating tonight, as for the wine, when the war is not over, I will drink enough with you, I still have the old wine that has been hidden for twenty years, and we will not get drunk when the time comes! ”
In the evening, Shang Kexi wanted to arrange for the cook to kill a chicken and comfort Wang Dalun, but Wang Dalun refused, he pointed to the steaming horse meat in the cauldron outside, Dalun smiled and said: "This thing is very good, let's not be in the house, eat meat with the soldiers, and drink tea in a big bowl!" ”
Seeing Wang Dalun sitting on the ground, a big bowl on his left hand side containing tea water made from coarse tea, a big bowl in his hand, happily munching horse meat, eating and laughing loudly with the soldiers on the side.
Shang Ke was convinced, really convinced! People who have never eaten horse meat don't know the taste of Langdao, the meat of horses is very coarse, and there is no chewiness to eat, like eating dried sauerkraut, but Wang Dalun is like eating something delicious, very happy to chew, and from time to time clinking glasses with the people on the side, this alone, Shang Kexi feels that he can't do it!
In the past, Shang Kexi was still a little cautious, that is, he wanted to firmly grasp the troops in his hands and treat the soldiers as his own capital, but now that he has seen this situation, Shang Kexi is dead, Wang Dalun is this kind of faction, and the military hearts of all the soldiers are leaning on Wang Dalun's side, and he wants to pull the troops away, which is impossible.
After dinner, Wang Dalun and Shang Kexi and other generals sat in the house and continued to drink tea, now the current tea is not the kind of big leaf tea, it is the aged Pu'er specially brought by Wang Dalun, this thing is used to consume, the most suitable. Originally, some generals felt that this was a tea only drunk by barbarians, and they were still a little resistant, but after Wang Dalun's simple brewing, a fragrance came out.
"Pu'er tea nourishes the stomach, consumes food, for people who are often in the army, this is the best, everyone eats irregularly, and the meal is more urgent, drink more of this, good for the stomach, I have a lot there, there are like to find seven babies later!" Wang Dalun added tea to all the generals present and motioned for everyone to taste it.
Everyone is used to the coach sitting in the handsome position and giving orders, like Wang Dalun, let everyone gather in a group, and it feels a little uncomfortable to drink tea together, and everyone feels a little restrained. When Wang Dalun saw it, he smiled and said: "We are not in the handsome camp now, and we are not transferring troops, we are just chatting casually, everyone is casual!" ”
After Wang Dalun finished drinking a cup, he refilled another glass for himself, and said: "Huang Taiji's retreat is estimated to be to retreat to Dandong, since I am here, I have to try to fight Dandong anyway, so everyone let his brothers work hard and go to Dandong City!" ”
"The last general will take the lead and lay down Dandong for the commander!" As soon as Wang Dalun's words were finished, Shang Kexi took the lead and stood up again, and assured Wang Dalun in unison.
"Sit down, sit down!" Wang Dalun smiled, beckoned everyone to sit down, and said, "It's just small talk, not assigning tasks!" Dandong, to fight, but this time you don't have to take it, Tartar has been operating in Dandong for many years, and it is the only way to attack North Korea, so you can't take it in a hurry! ”
"Our goal this time is to contain Houjin's troops, this time Huang Taiji suddenly made the first move, he was also afraid that our army would come out to stir up the situation, so he wanted to use a Dandong to contain us here, so everyone must be mentally prepared, when the battlefield in western Liaoning starts, I will withdraw the army, and then everyone's task is to defend Donggou City!"
"Yes! The end will understand! ”
"Alright, let's go and rest first! Shang Shen will stay for a while! Wang Dalun began to command.
When there were only two people in the room, Shang Kexi and Wang Dalun, the smile on Wang Dalun's face disappeared, he looked at Shang Kexi coldly, Shang Kexi was stared at by Wang Dalun's eyes, I don't know why Wang Dalun's face changed from warm spring to cold winter, he was a little worried in his heart, so he asked Wang Dalun tentatively: "Dashuai, leave the last general, what do you command?" ”
"General Shang, do you know that you were almost beheaded by me!" Wang Dalun suddenly said in a startling voice.
Shang Kexi was frightened, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The last general is ignorant, I don't know what offended the commander?" ”
"Are you foolish? If you are ignorant, there will be no wise people in the world! Do you think you occupy Hirokashima and prepare to support your own troops? Why I haven't had a seizure, I'm just waiting to see if you'll find out! Fortunately, you still moved to Donggou under my strict order, this saved your life, otherwise I would have come this time, the first thing I would have done was to go to Guangludao first! ”
Wang Dalun's air was as cold as ice, and his words pierced Shang Kexi's heart like ice, completely exposing his little attempts.
"The last general knows that he is guilty of a great sin, please punish the commander!" A cold sweat broke out on Shang Kexi's head, he didn't expect that it was not Wang Dalun who ignored him, but kept an account for him.
"Originally, I wanted to punish you, and I will transfer you out of the worst situation! However, you can go out of the city to meet me today, which proves that you still know your duty, so I am not ready to transfer you, you continue to be the guard of this Donggou! Wang Dalun's words then came out, making Shang Kexi's heart tremble again.
"Thank you for your magnanimity! I will do my job with all my heart! Shang Kexi said in a cold sweat.
Wang Dalun looked at Shang Kexi, and said lightly: "Do your best, you can do this yourself?" The path is your own choice, I can't force you! I've warned you, I've given you a chance, if you want to go all the way to the dark, I have a way to deal with you, if there is a next time, don't blame me for not being merciful! ”
"Yes, yes, the last general will not dare!" Shang Kexi kowtowed in a cold sweat.
"Next!" Wang Dalun threw out something to Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi took a look, it turned out to be a clerk, he was promoted again, he was promoted to deputy general, and became the same as Gong Zhengxiang, the official was promoted to one level, he looked at Wang Dalun gratefully, kowtowed again and again: "Thank you Commander, thank you Commander!" Xie Dushuai is magnanimous and does not miss the old evils! ”
Shang Kexi hurriedly stood up straight, raised his hand to heaven and said: "I Shang Kexi swears to the sky, if I have two hearts, I will not die well, the whole family will be slaves and maids, and I will never be able to live forever!"
Isn't that what you will be like in the Hereafter? Wang Dalun slandered, and said in his mouth: "Swear these things, you can't just say it, you still have to have actions to prove it, I see your actions!" Now you also know what I am as a person, I have clear rewards and punishments, I will not let those who work hard suffer, nor will I let those who steal and cheat take advantage, remember to remember! ”
"The last general knows the way!" Shang Kexi kowtowed solemnly, he was now respectful and afraid of Wang Dalun at all. His little bit of caution has already flown out of the clouds, and since then, there has been one less traitor king in the world, and one more Ming general. (To be continued......)
