Section XIII
After a while of praise and modesty, Huang Shi always felt that Kong Youde seemed to have something to say, but he always wanted to stop talking. He couldn't bear it anymore and asked bluntly: "Huang feels that General Kong wants to say something to me, so please say it directly." ”
Kong Youde laughed again: "Kong felt that General Huang was also a straightforward person, so he was offended." Of course, it is not the first time that General Huang has led troops, but there is something confusing about tonight. ”
"Speak. ”
"May I ask General Huang if he knows Kong's approximate strength. ”
"I don't know, but it's definitely more than me. ”
"Exactly, this is what Kong wants to say. Kong Youde Zhengse said: "Since General Huang knows that the enemy is strong, he should raise fire to defend the wall." Since General Huang knew that the enemy's situation was unknown, it was the right way to defend honestly, and it was better to use less of such things as strategy. ”
Seeing that Huang Shi was stunned and didn't speak, Kong Youde hurriedly said: "Kong has not brought soldiers a few times, so what he said may not be right." ”
"Otherwise, General Kong is right," this Kong Youde in front of him is a first-class general at the end of the name, he just said that one person has a way to fight a hundred, Huang Shi will also be skeptical, he quickly seized the opportunity to learn: "Huang still has some questions, please General Kong must solve Huang's doubts." ”
Next, Huang Shi and Kong Youde chatted for half the night, and along the way, Huang Shi accumulated a lot of questions about marching, camping, and reconnaissance. Kong Youde admired Huangshi's integrity, so he gave him unconcealed guidance, and the two of them broke up happily when it was dawn.
Next, Kong Youde naturally invited Huang Shi to accompany him, and Huang Shi also felt that the chances of surviving with this kind of person were much greater, after all, history proved that he could live to the Dongjiang River.
Huang Shi agreed to make Kong Youde secretly taken aback, in fact, Kong Youde's invitation was just a polite gesture, he thought that Huang Shi's men were all cavalry, so he would naturally flee alone and did not want to be dragged down by the people and infantry. Unexpectedly, Huang Shi agreed to come down, Kong Youde mistakenly thought that Huang Shi intended to stay to help him, and he was moved to feel that Huang Shi was loyal and unparalleled.
Huangshi's flowery intestines not only Kong Youde didn't expect, but even Huangshi's subordinates were also puzzled, although they already considered themselves unlucky, but they were still a little hostile to Kong Youde, so they all clamored to go first. Yellowstone immediately brought out the wounded soldiers to hold them down, saying that he would never abandon a single of his men.
After leaving with Kong Youde, Huangshi now Kong Youde not only escaped with the people out of kindness, but also the hundreds of soldiers in Kong Youde's hands did not have to worry about eating and camping. Secondly, it is easier to take care of an injury.
Under such good conditions, He Baodao showed the same vitality as Xiaoqiang, and he survived tenaciously. A few days later, Huang Shi saw that he had eaten a bowl of porridge with the help of a woman, and knew that this guy's life was saved.
Kong Youde is indeed not purely out of good intentions, he thought about this problem before he escaped from Xining Fort, in the past, the Ming army relied on the local army to fight, and food and wounded medicine could be counted on the support of the station, and after becoming a lone army, these could not be replenished on the spot. If soldiers are allowed to collect grain and grass and engage in labor, it will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness and mobility of the army.
Kong Youde's concerns are exactly the problems that Huang Shi encountered in the previous paragraph, not to mention the non-combat attrition, every sick wounded still needs to be taken care of by combatants.
Kong Youde led the people to escape with the idea that one more person would have more strength, and he also felt that Houjin's attention was attracted by the Guangning headquarters, and it was not terrible to march a little slower, and he was also right about this treasure.
Taking advantage of the advantages of the daytime march, the huge column of nearly 3,000 people was not very slow, and after many days of observation in Huangshi, there were few old people in this team.
In the face of Huang Shi's question, Kong Youde replied casually that he had to select the soldiers and civilians he received before he went out or in the middle of the way.
"I told the old people that taking them with them would not guarantee the escape of their children and grandchildren, so they voluntarily withdrew. ”
"Exit?"
"Leave or kill yourself. Kong Youde replied without emotion.
"Isn't that young man going to look for their fathers and ancestors?" Huang Shi's voice was raised, don't people in this era value family very much?
"What are you looking for? Most of them have said goodbye to their children and grandchildren. Kong Youde sighed, and seemed to recall those life and death farewells: "It's a very miserable and sad scene." ”
"And then, they acquiesced in the sacrifice of the old men?" Yellowstone's mouth was wide open enough to fit an apple.
"Everyone wants to live, and all the vast majority of people need is an excuse. An excuse to comfort yourself. Kong Youde's eyes were full of sadness, and his current expression was very much in line with the image of a wise man in Huang Shi's mind.
Since the Later Jin occupied Liaodong, Nurhachi implemented the shaving law, connived at the children of the Eight Banners to seize the property, wives and daughters of the Han people, and faced the resistance of the common people with butcher knives. The Ming soldiers could surrender without much scruples, but the civilians did not think about how to escape to the Ming Dynasty.
"The old man told them to leave incense for the family, and I told them to leave their lives if they wanted revenge. Kong Youde was silent after speaking, and Huang Shi was also silent. Yes, people have an excuse to comfort their hearts, and the instinctive hope of survival prevails, this is the troubled times, the troubled times when human life is as cheap as a dog.
After joining forces with Kong Youde, Huangshi and his subordinates still set up camps alone. Although Huang Shi did not think that Kong Youde wanted to annex his subordinates, he did not intend to be defenseless about it.
And the Huangshi troops had always been conceited that they were the elite of the Guangning Army Headquarters, but they were beaten to the ground by a group of local garrisons in the night attack, and they didn't say anything about it, but they couldn't swallow this breath in their hearts. Now every glance and smile of Kong Youde's soldiers at them was understood by them as sarcasm, and Huang Shi tried his best to suppress this feeling, but with little effect, in fact, he also had a pimple in his heart.
After camping today, Huang Shi drilled into his tent, spread his limbs and collapsed, and let out a satisfied sigh in his nose, and was about to fall asleep.
It's a pity that the heavens don't follow people's wishes.
"Your Excellency. ”
The limping Zhao Slow Bear Man arrived with the sound and rushed in.
"What's the matter?" Huang Shi, who was disturbed, sat up lazily with an impatient face, and he was also very dissatisfied with Zhao Slowxiong rushing in all of a sudden.
Zhao Slow-bear, who was full of anger, replied in a rough voice: "My lord, there is a fight outside, and a few of Kong Youde's cubs have come to the door." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Slowxiong gasped for breath, and his chest rose and fell violently. This look scared Yellowstone more than what he said.
"Did you fight with Kong Youde's men?
A carp in Huangshi sat up straight, glaring at Zhao Slowbear fiercely, and kicked his boots up angrily. Grabbing the cloak and helmet, Huang Shi pushed away Zhao Slowxiong who was blocking in front of him, opened the tent door and rushed out. Zhao Slowbear scratched his head and hurriedly followed.
The brawl took place on the edge of Camp Yellowstone, where dozens of soldiers were fighting with their bare hands, and a group of refugees watched the show from outside the circle.
