382 Heart-to-heart of soldiers
"What, eldest grandson brother has already passed" Hearing the bad news of eldest grandson Chong, Liu Yuan was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
In this line, the most noble identity is definitely the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest young master of the Zhao State Mansion, Emperor Li Er is his uncle, and the eldest grandson queen is his aunt, not only that, in order to kiss and kiss, but also the most beautiful, the most temperamental and talented daughter Li Li is promised to him, it can be said that thousands of favors in one, glory and wealth are inexhaustible, this is such a person, he would rather die than surrender, and he died on the battlefield after the most reluctance, which has to be moving.
And he was originally just a small scholar.
Cheng Huailiang said with a guilty face on the side: "Cheng's performance is the most inferior, General Hou's command is determined, Brother Changsun is killed, Brother Liu is out of all directions, and his military achievements are impressive, and Cheng is even a prisoner of others, which is simply a discredit to the Zhenfan army." ”
"Huailiang doesn't have to blame himself" Hou Junji persuaded: "I have also heard about your capture, but the enemy is too cunning and self-conscious, in fact, you have always behaved very well, and I will be very satisfied." ”
"That's it, Brother Cheng, you're also very good." Liu Yuan also persuaded on the side.
Hearing the persuasion of the two, Cheng Huailiang thought about it, and said with a smile on his face: "General Xie praises, Brother Xie Liu encourages." ”
Liu Yuan looked back and saw the team following behind, and couldn't help but feel sad: 5,000 people entered Tubo, and then divided into four, Liu Yuan, Cheng Huailiang, and Changsun Chong each led 500 people, and Hou Junji led 3,500 people, and now everyone is gathered here, because there is an agreement between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, all the captured people are unconditionally released on the spot, and more than 100 soldiers of the Zhenbo army who were captured by Tubo have also been released, but even so, the total is less than 1,000 people.
It is said that the eldest grandson Chong, the main general Changsun Chong, and Lu Guang, the captain of the Xuanjia Army, were all killed in battle, and only one of the four private guards escaped alive. It can be said that the whole army was annihilated; Liu Yuan's Jin Yong and others were killed, and only 38 people remained, plus the 46 prisoners released by Tubo, adding up to only 84 people; Cheng Huailiang had more than one hundred and fifty-six soldiers, but most of them were temporary new soldiers; The most people are the Houjun Division, after so many fierce battles, there are still 732 people left.
Five thousand elites marched from Minzhou to Shiji Mountain, and when they returned, only 972 people remained, many of whom were wounded. Fourth, the battle situation can be described as tragic.
Hou Junji and Cheng Huailiang are in a good mood, although their subordinates have suffered heavy losses, but for them, as long as they can win. Gain battle exploits, for casualties. They don't really care. Especially Hou Junji, in his mind, three or five thousand is just a number, not a fallen face.
Many famous players are very serious and not easy to get close to, and many are not in their nature. Because in their minds, the only thing they pursue is victory, a certain degree of sacrifice is allowed, and sometimes they need to deliberately sacrifice to obtain greater benefits. This is to make them dare not get too close to the soldiers, once they are too close and have feelings, they will inevitably be afraid when employing people, which will affect the battle situation.
"Xiaoyuan, how is it? Can't bear that beautiful princess? Hou Junji saw that Liu Yuan was going home, and he was not so excited, but a little lost, and couldn't help but ride his horse over, greeting him cordially like an elder.
Seeing the two talking, those private guards and soldiers were conscious of backwardness, let the two of them have a good chat, this is also the first time in more than two months that they have in-depth communication.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "That's not true, it's just a little unaccustomed to it." ”
"This is normal" Hou Junji said with a look of emotion: "You are not used to people who fought to the death yesterday, what kind of brother are you all of a sudden, shake hands and make peace, right?" In fact, these are very simple, they are all for the purpose of obtaining more bargaining chips in negotiations, there are many ways to get advantageous bargaining chips, war is only one of the means, a means that the most reluctantly forced to do so, as long as you get respectful benefits, anything can be discussed, like this handshake and peace is nothing, like some people, obviously not sharing the sky, but pretending to be a person who has nothing to do and sitting together and talking and laughing, that taste is uncomfortable. ”
"Don't think so much, we soldiers, just follow the military orders."
"Yes, General Xie Hou's teaching."
Hou Junji looked at Liu Yuan and couldn't help but exclaim: "The general read your battlefield notes, yes, it's really good, destroying the factory, burning grain and grass, raising rumors, and capturing the princess, every thing is a miracle, especially the rumor, which can be said to be the turning point of the whole battlefield, so that the Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo directly bowed down and was defeated without a fight, and because of your plan, even if Songtsen Gampo quelled the civil strife, Tubo was also greatly injured, and the western border of the Tang Dynasty could be worry-free for 20 years." ”
"The general has won the award, and his subordinates also inadvertently thought of this method, but I really didn't expect it to work so well, it was pure luck, this is General Hou's teaching merit, and this credit has a share of the general."
Hou Junji smiled and said: "Although I am waiting for someone to say that he is not talented, he will not snatch the credit of his soldiers, it should be yours, and no one can take it away." ”
"General Hou is high-spirited." Liu Yuan slapped a sycophant.
"You kid, when will you learn to pat on the back." Hou Junji scolded with a smile, changed his words, and said to Liu Yuan with a serious face: "Xiaoyuan, I have a few words I want to give to you." ”
"The boy listens to the elders." Liu Yuan's heart perked, and he immediately changed his way of saying it to make him look less vigorous.
Confucianism can be taught, Hou Junji nodded secretly in his heart and said: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you are too young, the military qualifications are still shallow, even if you have more meritorious service, you can't be promoted too fast, in my experience, you are now the fifth grade, and the promotion to the fourth grade is against the sky, and it is mostly rewarded for the wealth and goods of the field, with your conditions, there is no shortage of this thing, it is better to be a favor, and record one of the merits on the head of his deceased eldest grandson general, so that he can be buried in a beautiful manner." ”
Hou Junji continued to analyze: "Before the forging workshop broke up, you gave the equipment to General Changsun, you can say that you are righteous, and you can also say that you harbor evil intentions, so that he can attract the attention of the Tubo people, and then you can use the golden cicada to get out of the shell, and slip away, if the general guesses correctly, the Tubo people rushed to the aid of the Mobei Plateau, the first goal is to protect the forging factory, look at your notes, just the day before the destruction of the workshop, you have also witnessed the ability of the sea holly." Hou Junji lowered his voice and said, "It is possible, because of this, General Changsun alone suffered all the anger of the Tubo people. ”
When Liu Yuan heard this, he was shocked. Hou Junji's analysis is meticulous, every word is reasonable, the possibility is infinitely expanded, and a sentence can't help but emerge in my heart: I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
Nima, I knew that the Tubo people were so soft that they didn't dare to fart, so I should have twisted off the neck of the flat-haired beast with my own hands, so as to avenge the eldest grandson Chong, this is miserable. I was thinking about waste utilization and earning favors, but I didn't expect that it might offend the eldest grandson family.
has a grudge with the eldest grandson Shengwen, after all, it is a collateral blood relative, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly. In the face of Qinghe Cui's family, he may not be able to deal with himself. But what kind of character is Changchong Sun. That is the eldest son of the eldest grandson Wuji, the future successor of the eldest grandson family, and the son-in-law of Li Er, if he really hates himself, then his situation will be dangerous.
"General Hou, my subordinates didn't know that Tubo had such a sea holly. At that time, I also persuaded Brother Changsun to unite with his soldiers, but he insisted on going his own way, and he had absolutely no intention of framing him. This matter can be seen from the sun and the moon. Liu Yuan hurriedly explained.
Hou Junji patted him lightly on the shoulder and said: "The matter of the battlefield, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, you are out of good intentions in this matter, I think Zhao Guogong will not resent you because of this, in the final analysis, General Changsun still has some less workarounds, don't mention this matter, just have a clear conscience, the old man will also say good things for you, plus with the support of Qinghe Cui's family, he will not attack you, otherwise it will cool the hearts of the soldiers in the world, as for the military merits"
"Destroying the forging workshop, that is the work of Brother Changchong, I was unwell that day, and I did not participate in the battle, all the credit belongs to Brother Changyang." Liu Yuan said firmly.
Credit, Liu Yuan doesn't care, anyway, his military exploits are enough, and he has won a lot, the Tang Dynasty is now attacking Tubo on two fronts, building the Daming Palace, and channeling the Yellow River, it is estimated that the treasury is also tight now, with Li Er's temper of picking at the rope, it is estimated that he will not be rewarded a lot, anyway, it is not much to rise, it is better to sell a favor, let the eldest grandson Chong die a little more beautifully, maybe the old fox of the eldest grandson Wuji will also generously expose the matter.
There is a wrong, there is a debtor, which Tubo man's black hand, look for him, don't find me.
Hou Junji took the initiative to talk to Liu Yuan, and also for the purpose of caring for Liangcai, at first he was afraid that he would not accept it, but he didn't expect that it didn't take any lip and tongue at all, so he decided to give up his military merits, and couldn't help nodding secretly, he could afford it, put it low, and he was really a person who did great things, and there was the support of the Qinghe Cui clan, the head of the seven clans and five surnames, and the future was bright, well, how close you would be in the future, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, Ben will be optimistic about you, guard against arrogance and rashness."
"Yes, General." Liu Yuan straightened his waist and replied loudly.
"Ha Lu Haha" Hou Jun Ji Da Lu laughed a few times, shook the horsewhip, and said loudly: "Forward, let's go home." ”
"Princess, the divine bird is fine, right?" Zampo appeared softly behind Thammon Saimaga and asked in a low voice.
Zanmong Saimaga said lightly: "If you break a wing, you can't fly for the time being, and you need to recuperate for a few months, but Xue'er is born with a different species, and after a few months, it is not a problem to fly into the sky again." ”
"Well, it's okay if there's nothing going on," Zanpo asked in a low voice, "Princess Marga, are you okay?" ”
Zanmong Saimaga's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Very good, General Lao cares, Maga is a little tired, and the general should also go to rest." ”
Sure enough, he was still very resistant to himself, and Zanpo felt that something had happened to Zanmong Saimaga, but she refused to say anything, which made him extremely depressed, but he was reluctant to lose his temper with her, and he didn't dare to lose his temper with her.
After Zanpo left, Zanmeng Saimaga looked at the wounded belt on Xue'er's wings, and couldn't help but think of Liu Yuan's treacherous and hateful appearance, and then the humiliation he brought to himself, when he thought of how to deal with Brother Zampu when he went back, and the chaotic Tubo, and then thought of Liu Yuan's promotion and fortune after returning to the Tang Dynasty, marrying a wife and taking a concubine, and hugging left and right, he couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Well, don't fight for reputation, and don't let you get your wish, let you know the consequences of offending women.
Zanmon's heart burned with rage, his head was hot, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he picked up the wolf's hair and began to write on a piece of paper (to be continued......
