Text Chapter 65 The Second Prince of Rende
It's just a thousand Liangzhou infantry, Zhang Chao is not afraid, it's just such a meaningless battle, he has no interest. If you want him to make a move, you have to have enough interest. In his usual words, fighting a war is like doing business, and we can't do business at a loss.
Zhang Chao, who didn't intend to delay here, began to order the Zhang family to ride over.
Zhang Jiajun Heavy Cavalry, some of the earliest candidates, or the most backbone people, were recruited and trained by Zhang Chao throughout his life. They may not listen to other people's words, but even if the lord speaks, these soldiers are naturally excited, and they rush forward one by one as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, rushing straight towards the place where Lu Bu is.
"General Zhao, General Huang and step aside." Seeing that the Zhang family rode up, Zhang Chao hurriedly greeted Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, not wanting them to be injured in the chaos.
Lu Bu suddenly lost two opponents in front of him, in exchange for countless black-clothed heavy horses. He was busy wielding Fang Tian's halberd, wanting to fight his way out.
It's just that now his physical exertion is too huge, although he also injured more than 20 black-clothed heavy riders at the beginning, but then, when his halberd pierced into the ribs of a heavy rider and couldn't be pulled out quickly, several long knives appeared next to him and greeted him.
He had to abandon the halberd and took out the sword. That's it, with short weapons against long weapons, Lu Bu still cut down more than a dozen black-clothed heavy horses, until the long sword was also pierced into the person's body and it was too late to pull it out, and he had no weapon to have the heavy horse rush up and down, and the red rabbit immediately fell down, and then he was tied to a strong one.
"Second son, kill him." Looking at the comrades who fell to the ground, because Lu Bu alone had killed and injured more than a hundred of his companions, the other black-clothed heavy riders were all shouting loudly.
"Wouldn't it be too cheap to kill him. Someone, tie him up and take him away. Zhang Chao was very angry and distressed and shouted to the Jinyi guard beside him. He really didn't know if Lu Bu was taken into custody by heavy horses, whether these people would really kill this person in a fit of anger to avenge their brothers.
Lu Bu was escorted away, and even when he left, he still shouted injustice, saying that it was a victory or a martial arts, and the big husband should fight openly, instead of using wheel tactics.
It's just that the words of the defeated general are obviously something that no one wants to listen to, let alone say that Lu Bu's actions have caused everyone to hate, let alone say this.
After Lu Bu was escorted away, Zhang Chao asked a squad leader of a black-clothed heavy cavalry: "Check it, what are the casualties?" ”
"No." The team leader agreed to do it immediately, but he rushed back after half a bag of cigarettes and said: "Report to the second son, this trip killed a total of 300 enemies, captured 700, and our black-clothed heavy cavalry wounded more than 80 people, and killed 54 people." ”
At the end of the day, the team leader was already a little unable to cry.
Of the fifty-four people who died, two of them were trained by Zhang Chao himself, who were definitely the most loyal people, and they were also the most solid backbone of Zhang Jiajun.
Zhang Chao was also sad after hearing this, and he even knew that most of these people were killed by Lu Bu. It's just that who is to blame for this, where are the immortals in war?
"Okay, take the corpses of all the brothers away, and find a place to bury them, and look for their families at the same time. Every deceased person must be given a heavy pension, and their family members must be given a certain amount of subsidies every year after that, especially during the New Year's holidays. If the brothers die, then their families will be our family, and we will raise them. Zhang Chao loudly announced this decision in front of all the black-clothed heavy riders.
At that time, there was a lot of fighting. The death of a sergeant is a common occurrence. The general practice is to die and die, and no one ever thinks or will do anything for them.
There may be some exceptions, when they meet some good officers and good generals, they will give a certain amount of money to compensate the families of the dead soldiers, but it is only a very meager amount of silver. And it is still given once, there will be no second time, let alone a later statement.
Zhang Chao did the opposite, giving such a heavy gift to the dead. Not only should they receive a high amount of bereavement benefits, but they should also subsidize the soldiers' families every year. At the time, the impact of such an approach was still very far-reaching. At least let the soldiers feel their own value, even if one day they really die in the killing field, they will not have any worries, and they can leave safely.
Therefore, as soon as this order came out, the others, whether they were uninjured or injured in black, all those who could move fell to their knees on the ground, "Second son Rende, long live Second Son, Second Prince Rende, Second Prince Wan..."
The voice was shouted over and over again, and it spread far away, so that Li Ru and the others, who were still a few miles away, could also hear it.
"Stop!" Zhang Chao raised his right arm and suppressed the shouts of the black-clothed heavy rider. "Brothers, I am doing this just as a respect for our dead brothers, we can't let the blood of heroes be shed in vain, so not only today, but in the future, all our soldiers who die on the battlefield must be treated equally. There are also those injured brothers, who will also get a different number of rewards, and all the expenses during the recuperation period will be paid by me Zhang Chao. If they are too badly injured to go to war, then I will find him a place to retire and live in order to ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. ”
"The second son is benevolent, long live the second son." Suddenly, the sound shouted again.
"Stop!" In desperation, Zhang Chao had to shout again to stop, and then looked at these black-clothed heavy riders who were willing to kneel on the ground and said: "I can do this, and at the same time I have to make a request, that is, I need to use all my strength after the brothers go to the battlefield, only if we continue to win the battle, can we ensure that the decisions I made just now can be continued, on the contrary, if one day, we are defeated and we can't even save our own lives, then how can we guarantee the interests of our dead brothers and relatives?" ”
"Swear to protect the second son to the death and go all out to the battlefield." Bursts of shouts sounded again and again, obviously these black-clothed heavy riders have found their responsibility, that is, continuous war, continuous victory, only in this way can everyone's rights and interests be guaranteed, and until the moment of their own death. In the future, more people will work hard to protect their rights and interests.
The three continuous shouts represented Zhang Jiajun's heart at this time, and these shouts also made Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong on the side excited.
In the past, they only knew that the lord was a man with a broad mind and broad ambitions. Of course, treating people can be regarded as kindness, but after reading this matter today, they realized that the lord is a real man, with affection and friendship, flesh and blood, such a person deserves their assistance, even if it is to fight for his life, he must help the lord complete his great cause.
Lu Bu, who was held aside, including the Xiliang cavalry who was trapped in the trench and captured, all witnessed this scene in front of them.
At this moment, I don't know what others think, Lu Bu's heart actually has a sense of blood boiling, and he actually has an expectation, that is, he hopes that he can join the team of black-clothed heavy riders, because only such a team is the team of real men, and this is the place where the true colors of heroes are displayed.
It's just that Lu Bu, who was arrogant, didn't immediately express his heart out of face, but he still endured it. He was also very curious about Zhang Chao just arresting himself and not killing himself, and wanted to see what this young man, who was not much older than himself, wanted to do.
The war is over. The next step is to clean up the battlefield. It took nearly half an hour to clean up. After that, the heavy cavalry quickly retreated until it disappeared into the plain. When the nearest patrol appeared, all they saw was a trench that had been filled in by corpses.
The corpses of so many Xiliang soldiers were suddenly found here, and naturally, the patrol soldiers were frightened. After confirming that this was the team leading General Lu Bu to transport the treasure, the crowd panicked, and the patrol leader immediately sent someone to report the news to the above.
...... ......
Night is slowly falling. However, on the official road leading from Luoyang to Chang'an, there are indeed lights continuously, and from a distance, there are intermittent torches lit. These are the millions of people who were expelled from Luoyang by Dong Zhuo.
Those inhumane Xiliang soldiers, in order to speed up the progress, they didn't even let these people rest at night, but only allowed to stop for an hour, and then continued to hurry. For a while, the sound of cursing continued, and the people were angry.
In a place with a population of millions, it is relatively quiet, and this is the focus of the contemporary great scribe Cai Yong's family.
Taking advantage of this hour's rest, Cai Yong walked out of the carriage under the pretext of roasting the fire, and Xu Huang, who seemed to be escorting them, was talking about something.
"General Xu, this time thanks to you." Cai Yong said from the bottom of his heart. In troubled times, learning has become less important. It's like although he says that he is a university scholar, but in such an environment, how many people really respect him? I'm afraid it's not as good as a soldier with some strength. If it weren't for Xu Huang following and protecting him this time, I am afraid that the carriage he was riding in would have been taken away.
"Master Cai doesn't want to say this, all this is arranged by the lord. I have won the trust of the Lord, so I naturally want to do this thing well. We'll follow the plan in a moment, just say you're not feeling well, take a break, and I'll do the rest. "Where is Xu Huang willing to love Cai Yong's thanksgiving gift, this is the future lord's father-in-law, so he hurriedly hugged his fists in turn.
"Okay, everything is subject to the general's arrangement." Cai Yong nodded, and then returned to the soft sedan to rest.
