Chapter 243: Serving His Command
The camp of the Liang army has been reduced to ashes, and many sergeants of the Shu army are cleaning up the battlefield.
Yang Xian held the white feather fan and patrolled the battlefield, with Lou Jing and several accompanying soldiers behind him. Liao Cheng walked up to him and arched his hand.
"Young master, Zheng Da retreated towards Sanshui Pass with the remnants of the army. At this moment, Jin Xin, Qin Feng, and Yang Fu were leading the army to chase and kill. ”
The number of soldiers of the Shu army was less than that of the Liang army, and it could not form an absolute advantage over it, although it was defeated, it could not be annihilated.
"How many people did Zheng Da take away?"
"According to a rough estimate, there should be more than 50,000."
Yang Xian smiled and sighed slightly.
"Zheng Da is worthy of being the general of the Liang army, and when he saw that the defeat had been revealed, he made a decision early and abandoned this large battalion, intending to save his troops."
"Young master, there are hundreds of miles of discrete water passes here, and the Liang army retreated in a hurry, I'm afraid they didn't bring much military rations. At this moment, the three generals led the army in pursuit, and there will definitely be a lot of captures. ”
Yang Xian nodded and continued to move forward. In the ruins of this camp, in addition to the soldiers on both sides who died in battle, there were also many wounded and prisoners.
The soldiers of the Liang army squatted on the ground, their expressions were sluggish, but when they saw Yang Xian, there was still a trace of arrogance on their faces.
"We captured three or four thousand prisoners of the Liang army. Among them, there are two generals and fifteen captains. And one of the biggest fish is the general of the Liang army, Di Sheng. ”
There was no road on the ground for a long time, and Yang Xian walked through the blackened scorched ruins, his expression a little surprised, but he heard Liao Cheng explain.
"When Zheng Da gave the signal to retreat, Di Sheng broke off and resisted General Qin Feng's pursuit, but after all, he was outnumbered and captured by our army."
"I heard that this Di Sheng is young, but he is a general and is valued by Huan Wu. Today, it seems that there is a bit of liver and gallbladder. ”
Lou Jing followed behind Yang Xian and exclaimed.
The people walked forward some distance, but they saw Nadison sitting on the ground, with a large hole in his thigh pierced by a lance, which was described as miserable. The soldiers of the surrounding Shu army were watching, but they had nothing but vigilance for Di Sheng.
Yang Xian walked over, took out a bottle of elixir, and threw it to Di Sheng.
"Half internal, half external. If your leg is not cured again, I am afraid it will be wasted. ”
Di Sheng glanced at the young man in front of him, although it was the first time he had seen Yang Xian, he could guess his identity.
For the enemy's alms, Di Sheng did not resist, and he did not doubt that Yang Xian would use his hands and feet in this medicine, so he immediately opened the medicine bottle and smeared the black medicine inside on his legs.
Di Sheng said to the Shu army sergeant on the side, "Can you give me some cotton belts and planks for bone grafting?" ”
Dickson's attitude was very calm, without a trace of uneasiness and humiliation after being defeated and captured.
Yang Xian looked at Di Sheng in front of him, waved his fan, and motioned to the sergeant on the side to get it.
"You should know that unlike ordinary soldiers, as a general of the Liang army, after being captured, you will either surrender or die, and you will have no other choice."
Dickson's gaze was very determined, and his dark eyes shone brightly.
"I don't want to die, but I don't want to descend now."
Yang Xian walked along the way, and heard too many begging and insulting voices of Liang generals. The former seeks to survive, while the latter seeks to die. Dickson, on the other hand, spoke softly, but as if he took it for granted.
"You don't want to die because you have a lot of talent, and you are not willing to be buried. You don't want to surrender because you can't see who will win this battle, me or Huan Wu, so you don't want to bet on the wrong chips? ”
"The prime minister is right."
Lou Jing was amused by Di Sheng's attitude.
"The old man heard that when he broke off alone, Qin Feng and Yang Fu joined forces, and they couldn't take it. Looking at this kid's slippery appearance, he didn't see the courage to make a living for his comrades. ”
"The reason why I broke it off was because I inherited Huan Zilu's kindness, and this time I paid it back."
Yang Xian waved his feather fan and said, "Then why did you take the opportunity to kill a Huan general?" ”
The general of the Huan clan was lying in the pile of corpses at this time, because the armor on his body was cleaned out separately. This account was counted on the head of the Shu army, but it was actually Di Sheng who took advantage of the chaos to succeed.
Di Sheng looked at Yang Xian, did not hide it, and said: "Liang Hou has the grace of promoting me, but over the years, I have followed him to the east and west, and I have also paid back what should be returned." I also knew that under Liang Hou, I couldn't go any further. Because the people of the Huan family will not let the younger generation of generals have people with foreign surnames more than the children of the Huan family. That Huan disciple had insulted me many times, so he killed him. ”
This is a person who is bound to repay but has clear grievances.
"The prime minister is the only prince I have seen in my life who can completely compete with the Marquis of Liang. If the prime minister can win this battle, can he let me serve his command? ”
Yang Xian laughed and said, "You are sincere, but you are not annoying." In this way, you will sit and watch the success or failure in this treasure pass! ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
In the middle of the rice cang.
"There are still more than 150 miles away from the water pass here."
Rong Can wiped the sweat from his forehead, they had just passed a narrow plank road, and they were resting in an open space at this time.
Lack of food and medicine, and there are pursuers later, they have never been so embarrassed.
Huan Zilu was on the side, and there were many Huan disciples around them at this moment. When the Shu army attacked the camp, they followed Huan Zilu and withdrew together.
"I don't know what happened to General Zheng now, I heard that he was injured a lot in order to cover the retreat of the soldiers." When Huan Zilu said this, he didn't feel like he was beating the stone wall in front of him with his hand, "General Disheng also intercepted the Shu army alone in order to save me, and I don't know what happened at the moment?" ”
"Dickson, that weirdo, except for Huan Youji's big grin, who can get along with him? However, this time I didn't expect that he would be left alone to intercept Qin Feng's Xiliang hussars and cover our retreat. ”
"Di Sheng has always been greedy for merit, and it is estimated that he plans to give him more rewards after the lord defeats Yizhou."
The general of the Huan clan next to Huan Zilu, when he talked about Di Shenglai, there was not the slightest gratitude in his tone, but there was a kind of happiness for the rest of his life.
Such an attitude not only made the soldiers around him angry, but also made Rong Can frown. After all, because of Di Sheng, they were able to retreat smoothly and were not surrounded and killed by the Shu army.
"Shut up!"
Huan Zilu yelled all his life. Under his angry gaze, the general of the Yigan Huan clan closed his mouth. Huan Zilu ignored those Huan generals, and instead set his eyes on Rong Can.
"General Rongcan, what should we do now?"
"This section of the mountain road is dangerous, it is impossible for Qin Feng and Yang Fu to catch up, and Jin Xin's black army has already retreated. The most important thing now is to inform the guards of Sanshui Pass and ask him to step up the delivery of grain, grass, medicine and military supplies. Let's set up makeshift camps and gather the defeated troops. ”
