In the first month of the fifth year of Tongqing, Yin Zongtang issued travel expenses and repatriated the surrendered Blue Wolf Army.

Gong Jichang was furious: "Brother Rong, don't stop me, let me go and reason with the butcher of Xu Zongtang." ”

"Big brother, calm and calm, Lord Yin Zongtang is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and he naturally has his reason for killing the prisoners of the Blue Wolf Army." Rong Weishan said.

Gong Jichang scolded: "The governor is a bird, and Lao Tzu is also a first-class member." ”

Rong Weishan made a cup of honeysuckle tea for Gong Jichang and handed it to Gong Jichang: "Big brother, anger hurts the liver, let's dissipate the anger." ”

"He Mingming, Huang Xiaozi and other civil and military officials have surrendered, why do you want to behead them?" Gong Jichang held the teacup, shook it hard, and it became a fragment.

"Prevent future troubles." Rong Weishan replied.

Gong Jichang threw the fragments of the cup on the ground: "There are more than 16,000 people in the blue wolf army who died in the battle, and dozens of people such as Tan Tiyuan, who was captured, and Zhang, the wife of Wang Haiyang, the puppet king of Kang who was captured before, were sent to the Songkou camp of Yin Zongtang unarmed, and were killed again on the 21st day of the first lunar month, aren't there enough people dead?" When will this killing stop? ”

"Big brother, when you were assisting Shicheng and chasing the Blue Wolf Army, you also cut off the heads of more than 40,000 people at one time, and the group commanders didn't dare to compete with you for merit, so they gave up their hands...... Rong Weishan said.

"Brother Rong, are you praising me or scolding me?" Gong Jichang squinted at Rong Weishan.

Rong Weishan persuaded him: "Big brother, you have only led thousands of soldiers, and you have no real power. And the Jingnan army led by Lord Yin Zongtang has more than 40,000 people, so don't make a fuss with Lord Yin for the trivial matter of killing prisoners. ”

"But there are still tens of thousands of captives, will Lord Yin Zongtang click them all away?" Gong Jichang was worried.

"Big brother, as a named admiral, it is enough to do your part. Although Lord Yin Zongtang is the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and he is a second-rank civil official, he also has the title of a squire in the military department, which belongs to the imperial court. Don't talk to him about benevolence, righteousness and morality, we are now charging instead of picking up a sword and fighting! Rong Weishan said.

"Okay, yes. Those blue wolf army who have given up resistance, Lord Yin Zongtang is still going to kill the killer, I just can't see it...... He is a scholar, there is no talent in the ranks, Confucius and Mencius know much more than me, why did he become so cold-blooded after leading the troops? Gong Jichang expressed doubts about the personality of the governor Yin Zongtang.

"Big brother, the truth of becoming a king and losing a king remains unchanged for eternity. Whoever wins, has the right to speak. There was a time when the execution of prisoners of war was a last resort. For example, in the Battle of Changping, the commander of the Qin army, Wu Anjun, once killed 400,000 prisoners ......of the Zhao army," Rong Weishan replied.

"Brother Rong, your statement is untenable." Speaking of the Battle of Changping, Gong Jichang has his own opinions.

In this story, when Feng Jiaoer told "Zizhi Tongjian", she also mentioned an idiom - "talking on paper", which made a deep impression on him. So, according to the knowledge imparted to him by his wife Feng Jiaoer, Gong Jichang said slowly-

It was a protracted wrist-wrestling competition between the two powerful vassal states in the late Warring States period in order to compete for the world.

When Zhao and Qin fought for the third year, Zhao's food and materials were no longer enough to continue to support the army and fight again, and it was only a matter of time before Zhao was defeated without the supply of grain and grass.

Therefore, in desperation, King Zhao changed his defense to take the initiative to attack, so as to want to fight against the water. Since it is a loss to defend it any longer, it is better to take the initiative to attack and maybe there will be a glimmer of life, so King Zhao appointed Zhao Kuo, who is good at taking the initiative to attack, to give it a go.

As soon as he arrived in Changping, Zhao Kuo strictly disciplined the army and replaced a group of generals. But the biggest problem Zhao Kuo faced was that there was no food, and the small amount of food he carried with him had already been eaten, and the grain route was cut off. Soon more than 600,000 Qin troops surrounded the Zhao army from all sides, and the 200,000 Zhao troops on the periphery tried to rescue, but they were all repulsed.

So, Zhao Kuo ordered to kill the war horses to satisfy their hunger, and the war horses were also killed, and everything that could be eaten was eaten. In the end, Zhao Kuo had to order to feed on the disabled, sick, weak, and old in the army. Zhao Kuo once sent the brave and resolute men in the Zhao army to stab Bai Qi and Bai Qi was wounded.

After being trapped for forty-six days, Zhao Kuo selected one of his own people in the army, wore his white armor, and used his banner to lead an army to raid Jincheng (now Jincheng, Shanxi), while he led an army to break through to Changping.

Qin Jun indiscriminately shot a stand-in who looked very similar to Zhao Kuo, thinking that Zhao Kuo was dead. The Qin army surrounded Zhao Kuo's army and shouted, saying that Zhao Kuo was dead, and persuaded the Zhao army to surrender quickly.

So, Zhao Kuo surrendered. Bai Qi found that although Zhao Jun surrendered, it was still not chaotic, and he was suspected of a fraudulent surrender, and he was afraid that Zhao Jun would repeat it.

Bai Qi planned to disarm the Zhao army first and then kill them all, so he pretended to accept the surrender of the Zhao army, and then when the Qin army surrendered, he took advantage of the opportunity to get close to the Qin army and attack first, annihilating the exhausted Zhao army in one fell swoop.

Zhao Kuo said to his generals that Bai Qi noticed that our army was not defeated and his fighting spirit was not slackened, and he would not sincerely surrender, so the Qin army's acceptance of surrender must also be fake, and the Qin army would attack our army again after disarming our army.

At the time of surrender, as Bai Qi expected, the Zhao army suddenly launched an attack on the Qin army, and the two armies fought again, suffering countless casualties, and the 250,000 Zhao army was finally defeated due to exhaustion. More than 200,000 of the 400,000 Qin troops were killed, and Bai Qi could be said to have exhausted the organs, and finally won a disastrous result. Therefore, the decisive battle of Changping left the illusion that "the Qin army killed 400,000 Zhao troops" to later generations......

"Big brother, aren't you telling me that Zhao Kuo carried the black cauldron for King Zhao and became a backstabber?" Rong Weishan said with a smile.

"Yes. In the Battle of Changping, there were only 90,000 men and horses who could really fight, and there were 160,000 late personnel, and there were too few mobile troops. Gong Jichang nodded, "King Zhao is not impulsive, he has been carefully considered, and he has no choice but to adopt a strategy of quick victory, because after three years of confrontation, Zhao's fields are large, and the grain and grass are unsustainable." Zhao Kuo only carried out King Zhao's will, and the change would be King Zhao's initiative and helpless choice, which was the embodiment of King Zhao's idea of risking to seek a strategic Armageddon. ”

"One will be a success, and ten thousand bones will wither...... The torture and killing of prisoners of war is also a stain on Bai Qi's life. Five years later, Bai Qi was also given death by the King of Qin, and there was no good end for killing too many people. Rong Weishan drew his saber with a brush.

When Gong Jichang saw Rong Weishan holding his sword, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Rong Weishan looked at the saber without saying a word, grabbed a glass of water on the table, drank a few sips, and then held the sword and said: "I, Rong Weishan, have become a general from a little beggar, all with this saber!" ”

"Brother, if you kill too much, you will be punished." Gong Jichang said with a smile.

"Since I became General Xi Qitian's bodyguard at the age of twenty, no less than two thousand people have died under my sword. The strongest of the strong are more powerful, a mountain is higher than a mountain, maybe one day I will die under someone else's sword......" Rong Weishan said, "Wang Haiyang was hit in the head, it is really cruel." ”

"If Wang Haiyang hadn't been killed, the Battle of Jiaying Prefecture would not have ended so soon...... If you are ambitious, you are a lap younger than me (twelve years old), you have no background, all by your own strength, you have done a thousand totals, which is very remarkable! Gong Jichang gave a thumbs up and praised him.

"Big brother, let's wrestle our wrists, shall we?" Rong Weishan put away the sword, sat on the side of the desk, propped his arms on it, and showed a smug look on his face.

Gong Jichang has known the little beggar Rong Weishan for eight years, and he has not really competed with him once, testing who has the better hand. When he was in Shuifu Temple, Rong Weishan raised the bronze statue of Maitreya Buddha, which shows that his arm strength is beyond ordinary people. But wrist wrenching requires skill, and Gong Jichang has never lost.

Come on-

Gong Jichang sat down, and luck hit the strength of his whole body on his wrist, he had worshiped his teacher. And Rong Weishan relies on brute force to fight the world, and it should not be a big problem to defeat him.

As soon as the young and strong Rong Weishancai held Gong Jichang's palm, he immediately felt that the other party's aura was full, and his palm was numb, and he couldn't concentrate his strength, and he had no bottom in his heart.

Let's get started –

Rong Weishan shouted.

Gong Jichang, who was in his chest, took a deep breath: "Brother, are you ready?" ”

"Hmm." Rong Weishan smiled faintly.

"Then I'll exert my strength." Gong Jichang closed his fingers together and shouted, "Pour-"

The speed is too fast, Rong Weishan's strength is still on his waist, Gong Jichang has already pressed his hand on the table, and it is impossible to get it back.

Rong Weishan smiled: "Big brother, you call it a sneak attack, don't count, do it again." ”

"It's impossible." Gong Jichang let go of his hand, "Brother Rong, the fighter plane is fleeting, if you are negligent on the battlefield, the opponent will not fight you again." ”

"Well, big brother, what you taught you is." Rong Weishan stood up, "Do you know why I wrestled with you, will you win?" ”

"I don't know." Gong Jichang shook his head.

"Your thumb is clasping my closing hole, and I can't do it. And you take it by surprise and strike first. Rong Weishan smiled.

"By the way, if I go to Lord Yin Zongtang to talk about the repatriation of the prisoners, will he drive me out of the camp?" Gong Jichang asked.

Yin Zongtang's temper is hot, and he often fights with Zeng Fan, the minister of Xiangxiang regimental training, and now Zeng Fan's Jingnan army is all disbanded, and Xun Zongtang's army is the strongest, with high power and power. Rong Weishan still has a certain understanding of Yin Zongtang's personality, but he is not sure about the major issue of releasing the Blue Wolf Army.

"I'm not Lord Yin Zongtang, I don't know." Rong Weishan said.

"Whoa—" A figure flashed outside the tent, a man with a sword in his hand, as if he had been outside for a while.

"Damn, I dare to spy on the military, I don't want to die." Gong Jichang carried the Lock Dragon Divine Sword and chased straight out.
