Chapter 306: Squatting
With Kirbineng's defeat and retreat, the battle in Zephyr Town ended with a great victory for the Dingping army, and Zhang Yi also ordered the Dingping army to enter Zephyr Town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xifeng Town has long been dilapidated due to disrepair and has suffered from the baptism of war for many years, so it has long been dilapidated, and after the Dingping Army settled, it can only temporarily find some spacious places to camp, and then slowly clean up this town built by Wei Qing, the general of the Western Han Dynasty.
At night, in the Chinese military tent, Zhang Yi leaned on the back of his chair with his eyes closed, while recuperating and listening to Huang Zhong's report on the results of the battle.
Holding the summary report in his hand, Huang Zhonghong said: "Lord Qi, in this battle, our army won a complete victory, killing more than 8,400 enemies, capturing more than 5,000 people, collecting 13,452 war horses, confiscating countless ordnance, and collecting a total of more than 8,000 quintals of dry food.......
Huang Zhonggang wanted to ask whether to continue to pursue Kirbineng, but found that Zhang Yi was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
"Big brother is too tired," Zhang Fei, who also saw Zhang Yi's condition, glanced at everyone, beckoned and whispered: "Everyone, let's go first, wait for tomorrow in the ......"
"I didn't sleep."
Without waiting for Zhang Fei to finish speaking, Zhang Yi opened his eyes, and then sat up straight.
Zhang Yi is indeed a little tired, this is not physical fatigue, mainly mental, experienced a "betrayal" of the generals, although it did not cause any loss to Zhang Yi, and let him get a phoenix dance camp, but this is still a big blow to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi also comforted himself for a long time before he came out of this matter, but what he didn't know was that the phoenix dance camp was not the last time that everyone jointly betrayed him.
"Do you just report good news but not bad news," glancing at everyone, Zhang Yi asked expressionlessly: "Why don't you report our battle damage?" ”
"This ......"
Hearing Zhang Yi mention the battle damage, all the generals were silent for a while, and the reason why they were silent was because they had not yet counted the battle losses.
Whether it was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or the current Eastern Han Dynasty, and whether it was a victory or a defeat, the first time the generals counted their own military exploits, and as for the battle losses, they were often counted after the celebration banquet, which has become a common practice.
"You haven't counted yet, have you?" Smiling and glancing at the generals, Zhang Yi asked with a cold face, "I remember I said it, right?" In the past, when our Dingping army was still weak, it was good to count, and everyone took it with them, but now that the Dingping army is growing, it is troublesome to count, so you are not in a hurry to calculate, right? But you know what? More than half of the rewards you have reported on the merits of the war, and I can't send them to the hands of the meritorious ones, and when you want me to report the merits here, it is very likely that the corpses of those meritorious people are still warm. ”
When Zhang Yi said the last paragraph, his tone was very sad, which made all the generals bow their heads in shame.
Getting up from the seat, Zhang Yi walked out from behind the table, and said: "Once you will become famous, you must remember this sentence, the military exploits of famous generals will always hang high above the temple for people to admire, but the soldiers who died in battle who held them up and made them famous will never be remembered, so I want to build the Heroic Martyrs' Pavilion, and strive to let the current people and future generations know that their happy life was bought for them with their lives, and at the same time, you must also know that your merits were piled up for you." ”
At the end of the words, Zhang Yi's tone slowly changed from sadness to stern, and the stern tone made the generals feel as if a sharp knife had pierced their chests, making them almost unable to breathe.
"Big brother I know it's wrong," Zhang Fei, who couldn't stand it the most, was the first to stand up and admit his mistake to Zhang Yi, then arched his hand at Zhang Yi, turned his head and walked out, shouting as he walked: "I'm going to count the brothers who died in battle." ”
Seeing that Zhang Fei was going to count the battle losses, everyone came to their senses and wanted to ask Zhang Yi to resign and count the battle losses, but Zhang Yi stopped them, and at the same time stopped Zhang Fei, who was about to walk out of the tent.
After calling Zhang Fei, Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "That's it, let's do it this time, let the soldiers rest well, and it's not too late to count the battle losses tomorrow. ”
"No!"
After hearing Zhang Yi's order, Dian Wei Hong promised, but before Dian Wei could step out, Huang Zhong stopped him.
"General Dian is slow," after stopping Dian Wei, Huang Zhong stepped forward and said, "Lord, are we ......?"
"For the time being, let's not think about whether to pursue Kirby Neng," as if he had seen through Huang Zhong's thoughts, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I know that everyone is eager to make meritorious contributions and want to capture Kirby Neng, but they are not in a hurry at this time, because whether Kirby can survive tonight is still unknown... Well... It's hard to say. ”
Zhang Yi, who wanted to say that he didn't know the number, considered that Huang Zhong and they might not understand, so he temporarily changed his words, like this situation, I don't know how many times it happened to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi's words made everyone feel very inexplicable at first, but then everyone thought that before Zhang Yi asked Wen Ping to take his own soldiers, I don't know what task to go, it must be related to Kirby Neng, thinking of this, everyone can't help but sigh, Wen Ping is lucky, only Huang Zhong himself feels, Zhang Yi is going to give Wen Ping, the young military general who first followed Zhang Yi, a good opportunity to make great contributions, after all, Wen Ping can be said to follow Zhang Yi with Huang Zhong, but now he has the least meritorious service among the generals, and the official position is also the lowest. They are often denied the opportunity to show their faces.
What Huang Zhong thought was indeed Zhang Yi's plan, Zhang Yi knew that he had indeed neglected Wenpin, so he gave Wenpin such an opportunity, but in the end, whether Wenpin can make meritorious service depends on God's will.
After thinking of Wen Ping, Zhang Yi turned his head to look in the northwest direction, and muttered, "I should be back soon." ”
After separating from Zhang Yi and them, where did Wen Ping go with his people? The place he went to was Wutuo Mountain at the end of the Yinshan Mountain Range, and at this moment, Wen Ping was taking Zhang Yi's personal soldiers and his headquarters to ambush in the ravine of Wutuo Mountain, quietly waiting for Kirbineng's drive.
Squatting in the deepest ravine, Wen Ping asked Han Tao beside him in a low voice: "Did you do what the lord ordered?" ”
"Well," nodding, Han Tao replied in a low voice: "The west path and the east path are all arranged with cooking smoke, Kirby should not take those two roads." ”
It is one of the common tactics in ancient times, and often after seeing the smoke of cooking, the enemy will not take that road again.
Listening to Han Tao's words, Wen Ping was just about to speak, when a unique bell on the horse suddenly sounded on the path outside.
"Shh~"
Hurriedly making a silent action, Han Tao and Wen Ping tacitly reached out and pointed to the top of their heads, and then carefully poked out their heads, and after poking out their heads, they saw a group of cavalry on the mountain road outside, and the leader was exactly the same as the clothes that Kirby could wear when he caught Kirby before.
After seeing that person, Han Tao and Wen Ping muttered quietly at the same time, "Sure enough, it's here." ”
