"Marshal, how can I be virtuous, you really want to torture the last general!"

General Mole was so moved that tears flowed out of his eyes, and his tone trembled when he spoke, moving from the bottom of his heart.

"Hahahaha, the general has said it, Ben Shuai is also a human being, kneeling and licking his parents and brothers, kneeling and admiring people, how can he say it?"

I looked at General Mole and couldn't help but laugh, and then everyone laughed too.

Money is not enough to sell your life, but the use of money is very wide, I know General Mole and them, and the casualties on both sides of this battle are also very heavy, I only hope that this sacrifice can be exchanged for permanent peace.

"Marshal, since this is the case, I will accept it, I will go back to recuperate, properly deal with the aftermath, and come to the county seat again in the near future to talk to the marshal and the generals."

General Mole clenched his fists, nodded, and led his men to divide the way with us and rushed in the direction of his own county.

"General, then General Wang Qi gave us so much gold and silver treasures to repay our rescue, why don't you accept it, and also take out so much money from our own account room to General Mole, then we didn't lose the most in this battle, killing and wounding countless soldiers and horses, and finally giving back money, such a battle should not be!"

Jin Erpang followed me, his face was ugly, not only worried about money, but also worried about the lives of his brothers.

"Alas, General Jin, have you thought about General Wang Qi's side at this time?"

I let out a long sigh and continued: "General Wang Qi was besieged this time, eight or nine out of ten officers and soldiers in the army were injured, and the people in the city were even more affected by the war, and they also suffered heavy losses, General Wang killed and injured countless soldiers, and the county seat is no longer what it used to be, he gave a lot of money, but the people of the county and those soldiers need money to rebuild their homes and comfort their parents, if we accept this money, then what kind of person do you say I have become?" Wouldn't I be the same as that Wu Sangui, although I didn't attack the county seat, but I did this is no different from attacking the county seat, it will make those ordinary people homeless, and it will make those soldiers have no money to buy medicine and cure diseases, so can I have such life-saving money, if it were you, can you accept it? ”

Jin Erpang lowered his head in shame when I said it, and he didn't know how to say a word for a long time.

"Let's talk about General Mole, General Mole followed our army to fight, lost more than 10,000 people under his hands, so many lives, it was not easy to come by, he obeyed my orders, he was the general under me, after this war, shouldn't I be responsible for the aftermath, so it is natural to give money to General Mole, I only hope that this money can comfort the parents and relatives of those dead soldiers and comfort those injured brothers!"

War, what I hate most is war, a war, hundreds of thousands of people die, what's the point of such a war, isn't it those soldiers who die in the end?

It's not all the living lives that fall around us.

Therefore, war, is sinful.

"Marshal, I'm sorry, I didn't think about it so much, I suspected you, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Jin Erfat lowered his head in shame, his face was embarrassed, and he said in a low tone.

"Hahahaha, General Jin is serious, we think about many things for our own sake, especially the war, so I can understand your feelings, after all, in this battle, we have killed so many soldiers in the war, and we have suffered heavy losses, and every soldier will be unhappy in their hearts, but everyone should think that when General Wang Qi led his troops to rescue us, didn't he also take a penny? There will be casualties in every battle, and every time we encounter an enemy that is much stronger than the last, but why are we invincible every time? ”

I looked at the crowd and said in an aggravated tone: "Because we are united every time, because each of us has our own home and land in our hearts, and we know that these are things that need to be protected by ourselves, even if we lose our lives, we will not hesitate." That's why we are like this, we can be invincible when we unite, we can be invincible like a pack of wolves, and going our separate ways will only make us defeated, and we will only be unable to stand up! ”

After listening to my words, everyone nodded their heads, and they were even more touched.

It was already two days before I returned to the county seat.

In the past few days when we have been fighting, the county town has undergone earth-shaking changes, I am not only fighting from afar, but I am also commanding the affairs of the county town, but I have not said anything about this, because this is something that I have secretly discussed with General Ma.

Back in the county seat, Li Qing and other generals led the army back to the camp to correct and improve various matters.

As soon as I walked into the county office, General Ma greeted me and said, "Congratulations to the general on his victory in this expedition, welcome to the triumph!" ”

General Ma's mood is very good, the whole person is full of red, it seems that he is quite good these days!

"Yes, this victory is also thanks to the concerted efforts of the generals and soldiers, otherwise how could we defeat Wu Sangui so easily, not to mention that our losses are also relatively heavy, even the number of war dead is tens of thousands."

I looked at General Ma, took a deep breath, and said.

"Wu Sangui is a rare general in the world, this time we can win him, it is not easy, no defeat is the best ending!"

General Ma nodded, also with a look of regret, but the battle has been fought and the people have died, what can we do except appease their families?

"But this time we were able to win a big victory, isn't it thanks to you, General Ma? It is really difficult for Wu Sangui to withdraw his troops, and we have been in contact with dozens of battles later, but we have not been able to defeat him, and in the end, if you don't lead your troops to attack the territory he has captured, and hit his two cities, I'm afraid that this guy will not retreat and leave! ”

Think about it, General Ma is indeed a moderate attack, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, if it only takes three days to attack Wu Sangui's two county seats, and there is a rhythm to continue the attack, Wu Sangui also received the news that General Ma attacked the county seat that night, and he will not defeat the enemy, so he will hurriedly withdraw his troops and leave, otherwise, he is afraid that we will fight endlessly!

"The general's words are serious, I have done my part, and Wu Sangui led a large number of troops to attack General Wang's county seat, and our other county towns were just subdued by him, as soon as everyone heard that we went, it was either Kaicheng to surrender or throw away the armor and not resist, so that our chances of success are much greater, otherwise I would not be able to attack the county seat within two days!"

General Ma hugged his fists and said, although he said this, but I know that he is modest, who doesn't know his ability, attacking the city is definitely his strength.

And he has thousands of descendants under his command that he brought over from Sichuan, so with these people in the town and fighting with him, isn't it a problem to attack the city and pull out the village?

"General Ma, you have made a lot of credit this time, I naturally know it, but the people of these two counties still obey our orders and support us?"

I looked at General Ma, the most important thing now is the situation of the two county seats, the county has just been captured by us, whether we can gain a firm foothold there, stabilize the paws of our feet, it all depends on whether the people can support us.

"General, you can rest assured, the county order of the county seat in the past was lazy, no talent, after Wu Sangui went, they opened the city to surrender, I thought that after surrendering, I could get an official and a half position to continue to be in charge of the county, but who knows that Wu Sangui didn't take this matter seriously at all, and immediately killed them to sacrifice the flag, and then sent his henchmen to defend the city, and he led the troops to attack elsewhere, but he fought again and again, not to mention the death and injury of the soldiers, where did the grain and grass equipment come from? Naturally, it is for the common people to raise taxes. In this way, Wu Sangui lost the hearts of the people, we attacked the county this time, the people all cheered, plus we gave the people of the county a year of tax exemption, they supported us even more! ”

General Ma is more and more energetic, and I am very comfortable listening to them, there are a lot of stories that have happened to them these days, and they are very exciting!

"General Ma, you have done a good job in the matter of tax exemption, we attacked the county seat, the purpose is not to see the people of the county suffer under the rule of Wu Sangui, so the tax exemption is done very well, not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to make our army from now on to establish a well-known military prestige, we can do this without taking a stitch from the masses."

Looking at General Ma, I said excitedly.

"The people of the county are oppressed and the people are struggling to make a living, and we have indeed won the hearts of the people this time. It's just that Wu Sangui withdrew his troops and left this time, and he lost the battle because these two county towns were captured by us, if he vented his anger after he went back and led his troops to attack the two county towns again, then we would fall short, and the people of the two cities would still be oppressed by them and fall into a state of dire straits, so what should we do, I hope the general will make a decision earlier! ”

General Ma frowned bitterly, looking very worried.

"If this is the case, we must not abandon the life and death of the people of the two cities, the two county towns One is closer to us, and the other is far away, and they are directly in contact with Wu Sangui's sphere of influence, so General Ma, what are you going to do?"

I looked at General Ma and asked.

"The two cities are important towns, and now there are only a thousand people in the city, and they can't resist Wu Sangui's iron cavalry army at all, and the general can send people to be stationed in the city to keep the two cities safe!"
