Chapter 241: Zheng Liang's life, I want it
With the death of Amurai and other high-ranking members of the wolf legion, the rest of the remaining stubborn resistance were quickly wiped out.
In this battle, the Great Glory Wolf Legion was basically completely wiped out, and only a very small number of remnants of the soldiers fled, for these people, Su Qi'an did not look at them, these remnants of the soldiers could not make much waves.
In order to exterminate this elite wolf army, Su Qi'an's casualties were also not small, and the army in his hands was close to 30,000, and in the end, only 5,000 people remained.
And the Daliang Border Army that came to support also suffered about tens of thousands of casualties, which was only the only tens of thousands of soldiers left in the Darong Wolf Legion.
If the 50,000 elites had been encircled and suppressed at the beginning, the casualties would have been even greater.
But fortunately, the final result is to destroy this elite army, which is a good thing from any point of view.
Through this battle, at least it can give the invincible Darong army a psychological shock.
With this lesson, it will be necessary to weigh whether or not to adopt such a long-distance and direct lone surprise attack in the future invasion of the south.
As the battle to exterminate the Wolf Legion ended, Su Qi'an said to Su Yong behind him, "Although they are enemies, they are qualified soldiers, make a few coffins, and bury Yamulei and them."
Su Yong nodded, took the order and left.
The cleaning of the battlefield was also proceeding rapidly, Su Qi'an turned his head, his eyes flashed, as if he was looking for something, and finally surrounded by layers of soldiers, Su Qi'an found Ouyang Hai, the commander of this support.
He said something in Ouyang Hai's ear, Ouyang Hai agreed very quickly, and the next moment, he directly turned over and got on the horse, and set off with his troops.
Looking at the direction he went, it was not Kyoto in the rear, but Hakoya Pass in the front.
This time to encircle and suppress the wolf army, the contribution of Hangu Pass cannot be ignored, if there is no their death protection, the 50,000 Rong soldiers who will go south will be blocked in front of Hangu Pass.
Otherwise, this battle to encircle and suppress the wolf army would not have been resolved so smoothly, and Yamuli would not have attacked Su Qi'an with such a suicidal charge.
Until now, there has been no news that the 50,000 Rong soldiers have taken a step forward, which shows that the Biaozi and Er Meng of Hangu Pass have fulfilled Su Qi'an's entrustment to them.
Hangu Pass has the natural advantage of being a man and a man, but if it can drag the enemy army that is more than ten times stronger than himself, Su Qi'an can imagine that their casualties are absolutely huge.
If reinforcements are not sent to rescue, I am afraid they will all die.
Therefore, at the moment when Su Qi'an finished annihilating the wolf army, he asked Ouyang Hai's army to quickly rush to help.
At the same time, the news was released as quickly as possible that the wolf legion, along with the main general Yamulei, had been killed and eliminated.
Losing this lone army that broke into the front line, the tactics of the Daei army to blossom in the center can be regarded as a miscarriage.
And this battle has been fought to this day, it is already the ninth day, even if the 50,000 Darong reinforcements who rushed south took Hangu Pass.
But with the tens of thousands of troops they have at hand, it is more than enough to sit in Tongguan and Kyoto and hold it for a day.
When reinforcements from the states arrive, will this war continue to be fought, with Cook's brain, he should know that the value of continuing to fight is not worth it.
This time, Su Qi'an was confident that with the fall of Yamulei's wolf army, this battle for the defense of Kyoto was basically over.
A stone buried in everyone's hearts has landed smoothly, and now, it is time for Su Qi'an to do what he wants to do.
In this extermination of the wolf army, Su Qi'an only found the corpses of some powerful marquis, but several marquis such as Zheng Liang were nowhere to be found.
According to the mouths of several captured honored soldiers, when the war between the two sides broke out just now, Yamulai had long thought of sending people to execute all these powerful marquis.
But at the time of execution, several powerful marquis cut the rope in advance, and took advantage of the war to escape.
And among those people, Zheng Liang is included.
You don't have to guess to know that Zheng Liang and the others are now estimated to be rushing towards Kyoto.
If they hadn't been executed this time, they might have waited until they returned to Kyoto
In the second war, they said that the white was black.
Because he was too kind to these powerful marquis, the five thousand defenders of Tongguan were killed and wounded, and if he was released this time, then Su Qi'an would not have the face to see the surviving soldiers.
Therefore, this time, no matter what, Zheng Liang has to die, and no one can stop it.
Su Qi'an turned on his horse, took the new army around him, and wanted to chase in the direction of Kyoto.
But this time, in front of his horse, he was stopped by Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi was also one of the 5,000 defenders who stayed behind in Tongguan, although he was a powerful man, and his father was the famous Chen Guogong.
But on the battlefield, he should have experienced the last Ningzhou war, which made him grow up a little, and he did not have the slightest sloppiness in the battle of the honored soldiers.
In the battle of Tongguan, he took the lead and led people to counterattack, but in the end, because the two sides noticed too much, Tongguan was still lost.
But he was lucky enough to survive, but he only broke an arm, like Chen Zhi, who is still a bloody magnate, there are not many in Kyoto.
It was precisely because he saw Chen Zhi's bloodiness that Su Qi'an did not kill him this time, but spared his life.
Looking at Chen Zhi's obstruction of him, Su Qi'an frowned and said coldly, "What? Chen: Are you going to stop me?"
"Don't think that if you behave in Tongguan, you can intercede for those scum, and step aside as soon as possible, I can act as if I haven't seen anything, otherwise military law will be engaged."
Even though he was reprimanded so harshly by Su Qi'an, Chen Zhi still had no intention of retreating, he shook his head and hurriedly said.
"Commander-in-chief, you misunderstood me, I didn't intercede for Zheng Liang and them, but I hope you can think twice."
"After all, at this juncture, even if you catch up with them, do you dare to execute them in front of the powerful people in Kyoto?"
"If you really do this, if the commander-in-chief doesn't say that your first achievement this time is gone, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Kyoto, and you will embarrass Your Majesty."
"We can wait until the war is over, and return to Beijing to state the charges of Zheng Liang and Wang Xian to Your Majesty, and I think Your Majesty will definitely give a fair ruling."
"Please don't ruin your future because of impulse."
Chen Zhi said very sincerely, and the new army behind him listened to it, and his eyes flashed.
They agreed with what Chen Zhi said, indeed, if Su Qi'an really killed Zheng Liang and other powerful lords in front of all the powerful people in Kyoto, the consequences would undoubtedly set off a major earthquake in Kyoto.
Not to mention anything else, Zheng Guogong is afraid that he will have to fight with Su Qi'an immediately, and then the whole of Kyoto will be in chaos.
The new army was silent, and then they spoke one after another, and also persuaded Su Qi'an to think twice.
Everyone's persuasion, Su Qi'an didn't listen to the persuasion, but there were some things he had to do, even if it would gamble on his future, but for the sake of the nearly 5,000 brothers who died, Su Qi'an had to do it.
Su Qi'an was silent for a while, looked at Chen Dao under the horse, and said softly.
"I know that your good intentions are very reasonable, but if you really follow what you said, wait until you return to Kyoto and state it to Your Majesty, I'm afraid the final result will be."
"Zheng Liang is the son of Chen Guogong and the powerful marquis of the Eight Classics, and if he really wants to be executed, I am afraid that it will cause unease among the nobles in Kyoto and affect the unity of Kyoto."
"Therefore, in order to balance the contradictions between the two sides and give an explanation, Zheng Liang estimated that he would first cut off the title of marquis, think about it behind closed doors at home, and finally push everything on the dead Wang Xian."
"That's it, I'm right."
Su Qi'an's words directly made Chen Zhi stunned for a moment, indeed, according to His Majesty's attitude of balance and unity, this matter is likely to really develop according to Su Qi'an's direction.
"So, a light sentence of closed-door thinking, because of the powerful background, can be exempted from responsibility in a few words, and it is these few words that make five thousand soldiers say that they will die, and the price of these words is not too great."
"It's all raised by my father's mother, and the life of the powerful marquis is my life? Ordinary soldiers deserve to die?"
Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but it spread into everyone, making them stunned, Su Qi'an
's words, Chen Zhi, who said it directly, was speechless.
I want to open my mouth to say something, but I can't say anything.
That's right, in Daliang, the reality is like this, the life of an ordinary soldier is despicable, that is, damned.
But no one dared to say this, after all, the war has been going on, and they have to continue to work hard.
No one dares to say something like this, at most think about it.
But now, Su Qi'an directly pointed out the most realistic 369 and so on in Da Liang.
Su Qi'an retracted his gaze, looked into the distance, and said, "I, Su Qi'an, don't have that much ability, I can change the injustice of the entire Great Liang, but what I can do is to manage what my subordinates can control."
"They are my soldiers, I promised them, take them out alive, you have to bring them back alive, but I lost my word, all I can do is let the people who die, pay the price."
"So, Zheng Liang's life, I Su Qi'an wants it, and no one can save it, I said it!"
After throwing this sentence, Su Qi'an tightened the horse rope, clamped the horse between his legs, and disappeared at the end of his sight in the blink of an eye.
The new army behind them, following quickly, their faces were a little excited, and more ashamed.
It stands to reason that they know Su Qi'an best, and Su Qi'an did this in order to stand up for them.
But just now, they still wanted to persuade Su Qi'an to think twice, thinking of this, the new army couldn't wait to give themselves a few slaps.
They looked at each other, and a thought rose in their hearts, no matter what happened in Kyoto in the future, they had only one goal in mind, and they had to escort Mr. Su out of Kyoto desperately.
Looking at Su Qi'an's departure, Chen Zhi's face was also complicated, on the one hand, he was silent for a few seconds for Zheng Liang and the others who were about to die.
Because he understands that Su Qi'an is a person who does what he says, even if he stabs the sky through the hole, he is not afraid.
On the other hand, he also admires Su Qi'an, after all, Su Qi'an also has an identity now, and he is a royal family.
But he didn't have the slightest fight, especially with the soldiers, which really did eat and sleep together, and it was a real sharing of hardships.
In the context of war, who doesn't want to meet a commander who is sympathetic to his subordinates and can take the lead in fighting.
