Chapter Seventy-Five: The Senior Captives (1)
Ink's two three-masted galleons were pushed by the waves and ran aground on the river beach! The stern of one of its older ships cracked and began to leak, and although the people on board were prepared, they were still washed away, and many people were injured as a result, but not too seriously.
Zhang San hid on the hillside not far away and looked at everything in front of him in horror, and the surging flood instantly submerged the hillside where Zhang San was, soaking some of the soldiers in the water
Fortunately, the impulse of the water was already weak by the time we got here, so no one was swept away, and after a wave of flood peaks, the water quickly receded, but it was much higher than the original water level.
The muddy thousands of Goguryeo cavalry fled eastward with great difficulty, and many of the soldiers were already frightened and rushed all the way northeast to get out of this damn place.
Gao Nanxi's closest commanders were by his side, so they were swept away by the flood.
Zhang San led his 100 infantry to investigate the river after the water receded, and at the same time went to help the ink get the stranded boat.
Half an hour later, a soldier hurriedly ran over: "Report to Captain Zhang, a large number of Goguryeo corpses have been found in the five miles below the Shahe River, and some of them are still alive, so I have come to ask whether to kill or capture!" ”
"Killed, of course!" Zhang San replied without hesitation, although Goguryeo was wiped out by the flood of thousands of cavalry, but there are still thousands, and now they can be the end of the crossbow, if they fight back, it will definitely be enough for their own side to drink a pot, how can they care about those prisoners!
"Yes!"
"Wait! Take me to see it! If it is not much, it can be captured and transported back to work for Mr. Guo. ”
Zhang San had a whim, he felt that he couldn't live in a mess, he hadn't fought much in the previous months except for training, and he felt very uncomfortable when he saw that General Zhuang was busy but couldn't help
Doesn't General Zhuang often say that the population of our county is too small? Wouldn't it be nice to take some prisoners and go back to work? The dozens of people captured last time were transported back by Mr. Guo to mine for the Mo family.
Well! This time, I also want to catch some prisoners and help the general work!
Zhang San took hundreds of men to catch the prisoners, the ink was sad on the ship, the stern of a ship was cracked and leaking, it couldn't be opened back if it wasn't repaired, only one was left in good condition, so I could only transport people back first, and then repair the ship later!
Ink drove the only remaining boat and slowly headed downstream.
Zhang San searched downstream, and occasionally found some alive, if the breath is too weak, the kind that is very difficult to save will be directly forked to death, and the strong breath is easier to save, so be rescued and tied up and go back to work.
"Lord Captain, there must be more on the other side of the river! Shall we take Mr. Mo's boat to see it? ”
Zhang San summed it up in his heart, he had already captured hundreds of people as prisoners on the west bank of the Shahe River just now, and there must be more on the other side, at least another three or five hundred, well! It's worth a vote!
Ink helped Zhang San transport people over with a bitter face, and also asked the Mo family on the ship to help escort them.
Zhang San happily grabbed the captive, and the ink stood on the bow of the ship looking into the distance with a sad brow, the loss was so great! Three ships when they came, and now there is only one left.
"Report to the Captain! The soldiers in front found a prisoner, dressed in gold and silver, who seemed to be an official! What a temper! ”
When Zhang Sanyi heard this, he was a little annoyed, dog, when he was a prisoner, he dared to put up a fight for the old man, and he owed a lot! Zhang Sanfeng followed the soldier in a hurry.
After a while, he saw a man of different races about forty years old yelling at the soldiers who escorted him: "You miscellaneous soldiers, let go of this prince!" Do you know who this prince is? How dare you tie me up? Sin is unforgivable! This prince wants to destroy your whole family! ”
Zhang San saw that this guy was too arrogant and immediately rushed forward and kicked him to the ground, Gao Nanxi was kicked and, struggled to stand up, spit out a few mouthfuls of sand, turned around and scolded:
"You shit! Dare to kick this prince! This prince wants to kill your whole family! ”
Zhang Sanhao looked at this guy for a while: "Small, I'm the only one in my family!" If you have the ability, you will come to kill, if you give the old chirp crooked, the old will chop your tongue first! If you're not honest, chop off your legs! ”
Gao Nanxi pulled his horse and tried to escape when the water was rushing, but he was smothered in the water by a wave, and several cronies around him desperately protected him, so he finally pushed him ashore, and then passed out.
Now that I have come to my senses, I think that my eight thousand iron horsemen were wiped out by a flood, and the loss must be great, and I have never suffered such a big loss in a lifetime of battles, this time it is really a boat capsized in the gutter, regret, unwilling, I want to die, and I am very excited.
The worst thing is that he was captured by this group of miscellaneous soldiers, so it is better to kill him.
But his outfit is too conspicuous, even a fool can see that he is a big official, and it is difficult to die!
Now that this big official is a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, he was actually played by a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and he is helpless!
Gao Nanxi gradually calmed down, stopped scolding, and regretted his stupidity just now, why did he expose his identity, isn't this looking for trouble!
So he calmed down his anger and said to Zhang San with a smile: "This general, I was blistered just now, and my head is a little not very bright, so I am talking nonsense, and now I have come to my senses and apologized to the general!"
General, how about we discuss something? I have a jade pendant on me that is very valuable! At least a few thousand taels of silver, I will give him to the general, begging the general to let me go! Anyway, so many captives are not worse than me. ”
Zhang San was a little moved when he saw this, but he quickly woke up, the general was as kind to himself as a mountain, he couldn't do this kind of thing, although it was not a big deal, but it was not good, no!
Gao Nanxi saw Zhang San hesitating, thinking that he was moved, and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "General, that jade pendant is worth thousands of taels of silver!"
This is something that only princes and nobles can afford, and I also know the salary of your Han army, a few thousand taels of silver is enough for a general to earn for hundreds of years!
The general took this jade pendant in exchange for money, and then found a place to spend a free day, isn't it much better than going to the battlefield all day long? ”
Zhang Sanyi suddenly raised his head when he heard this and said, "Okay, you give me the jade pendant first!" ”
Gao Nanxi said: "General, you have to untie me first!" How can I give it to you if you tie it up? ”
Zhang San smiled and said, "Someone!" Search my body, and all the valuable things on my body will be searched! ”
The surrounding soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this, and they touched Gao Nanxi's body, and Gao Nanxi instantly became a naked man with a lot of flowers, only a big trouser left.
Gao Nanxi yelled while struggling: "You bastards! Don't fall into the hands of this prince, otherwise this prince will tell you to live and not die! ”
Zhang San looked at the treasure sent by his subordinates, a piece of crystal jade pendant, even he, a person who doesn't know how to do it, looks beautiful; A gold ring with a green stone on it also looks good; A set of bright silver armor is very dazzling, very handsome, and looks very strong, with some small sword marks on it, it is a treasure armor!
Zhang Saner didn't say a word, and wore it directly on his body. The soldier who searched the body also took a silk brocade robe from Gao Nanxi's body and put it in his arms, Zhang San didn't mind, and smiled.
Zhang San smiled and looked at Gao Nanxi, who kept cursing, and said, "Lord Wang, you are the first time I have seen the Lord of the Ages!" The prince who has only seen the county drama troupe perform before, is really different from you! ”
When Gao Nanxi heard it, it was broken, it was over! Can't run away! Suddenly, like a deflated ball, he lay on the ground and did not move.
Seeing this, Zhang San said: "Brothers, please get on the boat!" You're welcome! The brothers have all received gifts from the prince, as the saying goes: The hands of the people are short, and the brothers have to serve the prince well! ”
"Yes!" All the subordinates responded excitedly, and then went up and lifted Gao Nanxi with all hands and feet and walked towards the ink boat.
It is said that the remnants of Goguryeo retreated all the way and ran directly to the camp in Hongya Town.
Zhuang Shaoyou stared at the stone bridge on the Qingshui River with a strong spirit, and looked at the Goguryeo cavalry that was constantly galloping by, although he wanted to take people to intercept him, but his subordinates had just recovered some strength, and they couldn't fight a tough battle at all.
So he let these Goguryeo cavalry flee back.
After waiting for two hours to confirm that there was no large force of cavalry, he led his men across the stone bridge to the Sand River.
Late at night, Zhuang Shaoyou led people to the east bank of the Shahe River, contacted the ink, crossed the Shahe River in batches, and then everyone fell asleep in the camp.
On the third day of the next day, Zhuang Shaoyou woke up late, moved his muscles and bones, was covered with back pain, very uncomfortable, and went out of the tent to eat something.
Then Zhang San came: "Report to the general, we caught a big fish!" ”
"Oh? What big fish? Could it be that you have captured the chief general of the Goguryeo army? Zhuang Shaoyou made a joke casually.
Zhang San replied proudly: "Yes! Checkmate! We have captured the prince of Goguryeo! ”
"Oh! What?! Zhuang Shaoyou didn't care at first, but then he came to his senses and was taken aback.
"Where, take me to see it!"
Zhang San smiled: "General, he's outside the tent!" ”
The two soldiers escorted Gao Nanxi into the big tent, Zhuang Shaoyou looked at this Gao Nanxi, about forty years old, eight feet tall, dignified, looks very strong, but the skin is very fair, at this time Gao Nanxi is wearing a burlap shirt, but the aristocratic temperament in the bones cannot be concealed.
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are not sensible, and they have offended a lot!" ”
Gao Nanxi knew that his identity was exposed, and it was very troublesome, so he simply didn't cooperate, anyway, the other party wouldn't kill him casually.
Zhuang Shaoyou was not annoyed when he saw this, but said to Zhang San: "You did a good job!" This guy is worth a lot! This battle Ben General will give you the first credit! ”
Zhang Sanyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked curiously: "General, how much can this guy be worth?" I found a lot of treasure from him. ”
After speaking, he took out a rag from his arms, opened it to reveal the jewelry inside and handed it to Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at it casually, and then put it aside.
Zhuang Shaoyou doesn't know the goods, and he doesn't know how to do jewelry, so go to the big city to find someone to identify it in the future!
When it comes to how much the Goguryeo prince is worth, in fact, he doesn't know the bottom in his heart, but Goguryeo in the Three Kingdoms period doesn't seem to be very strong, and it is estimated that there is not much money!
So he rolled his eyes and said casually: "This is the prince of Goguryeo, and it can be worth 100,000 taels of silver at least!" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Gao Nanxi, trying to see some clues from his expression.
Zhang Sanyi was taken aback when he heard this: "One hundred thousand taels of silver!" I thought it would be worth 350,000 taels! What a pile of 100,000 taels of silver! It's enough to buy us all over the county! ”
Gao Nanxi on the side was originally angry about how to sell himself for money discussed by the two of them, but when he heard the price, he immediately ran away and scolded:
"Fart! This prince is worth 300,000 taels of silver! How dare you belittle the value of this prince? ”
