"The last general is greedy for merit, and I ask the general to behead him, and use the military law to correct it!"

Although Lei Lan was able to escape death, he didn't think that this matter had been revealed.

So he deliberately carried the thorn strip, bowed to the ground, pleaded guilty to Zhang Yiping, and begged to be beheaded.

His 8,000 soldiers and horses were almost lost because of this rash attack on the camp, how could he still have the face to continue to lead the troops? Stay in this barracks?

The east has turned white, Zhang Yiping marched all the way, and after saving Lei Lan, he had to set up camp again.

He should have been exhausted, but he didn't sleep all night.

Zhang Yiping was dressed in armor, draped in a cloth scarf, with his hands folded around his chest, his body was straight, his thick beard covered the marks on his face, and his eyes were always closed.

He was used to thinking with his eyes closed.

Hearing that Lei Lan was willing to order punishment and slashed himself, Zhang Yiping slowly opened his eyes.

He took the scabbard and made a gesture on the ground.

"What is this word?"

“.”

Lei Lan was immediately stunned, yo, you are finally willing to read? And will also write?

Let me see!

When he looked at it, he didn't know if it was a word or a painting, and he couldn't see a positive shape anyway.

According to the shape, there were countless guesses in his heart, and after thinking for a while, Lei Lan stammered and said:

"It's." The word "soldier"? ”

Let's say it's a "soldier", but it's not so similar.

In the middle of the word "soldier", how can there still be a vertical?

Zhang Yiping nodded, and said matter-of-factly:

It is a "soldier", and it is not all a "soldier", as the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and this "soldier" is naturally not in a positive shape. ”

Lei Lan just stayed where he was.

Back then, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he wanted to write the same text, and he didn't let General Zhang make words, which was really a waste of talent.

Zhang Yiping couldn't see a trace of shame on his face, and erased the handwriting on the ground lightly, and said:

"You lost this battle, but you won the ambush of the Han army before."

"The merits and demerits are worth the difference."

"If you change the general, most of you will be deceived in the past, and this battle is not unjust."

Zhang Yiping paused, turned to look at Lei Lan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said:

"Do you know why there are so many combatable soldiers in the Han army?"

Lei Lan frowned, he thought about how to excuse himself all night, and he really didn't have time to reflect on why this battle was lost.

He always thought that he had done his homework and mastered the number of combatable soldiers of the Han army, but he was defeated by the ambush that suddenly appeared in the Vung Tau port camp.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that the number of those ambushes was completely beyond his imagination.

Even if the group of Han troops who were defeated by his counter-ambush could quickly return to the camp, there would not be so many.

If there weren't so many soldiers to fight, even if Emperor Han guessed that he would attack the camp at night after breaking through the Wutugu ambush.

There were also not enough soldiers and horses to ambush.

Just lose in this inexplicable number of soldiers and horses!

So Lei Lan asked tentatively:

"Could it be that Gao Xiangguo's estimation is wrong, or there is a leak in the front-line intelligence, and the Han army did not only send 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack?"

Zhang Yiping shook his head:

"It is true that there are only 40,000, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, Qiongzhou alone cannot support the supply of grain and grass."

"That's . Drug addict?? ”

Lei Lan was secretly frightened, this is even more incredible than the Han army sending more troops and horses!

"General Zhang, why is the Han army not plagued by poisonous insects?"

"Even if the Han army prepares doctors in advance and carries medicines, it is difficult to dispense antidote drugs for special poisonous insects in Jiaozhi in a short time."

"If there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses, there shouldn't be so many soldiers to fight at this time!"

Zhang Yiping lowered his body and unloaded the thorns for Lei Lan:

"Among the Han army, there are people who taste a hundred herbs."

"Use the herbs of Jiaozhi to cure the poisonous insects of Jiaozhi, and the hand will be caught, and the medicine will be eliminated."

Hiss.

Lei Lan couldn't help but get anxious, and said:

"There is such a miracle doctor in the Han army?!"

With such a miracle doctor accompanying the army, it is impossible to use the climate, poisonous insects, etc. to infect the Han army, weaken the combat power of the Han army, or force the Han emperor to withdraw from the army!

Zhang Yiping's expression darkened and he shook his head.

Seeing that it was not a miracle doctor, Lei Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but showed a little joy:

"Could it be that Emperor Han forcibly forced the military doctors to taste a hundred herbs?"

"Or forcibly kidnap the surrounding Chinese people to taste a hundred herbs?"

"If this is the case, the Han army will be unstable, and our people will inevitably resist more."

"Emperor Han was in a hurry, but this time he was too anxious, leaving an opportunity for our army to take advantage of."

"Although the general was defeated at the end, then the general could use this to defend against the Han army."

After Lei Lan finished speaking, he was even more overjoyed, but the Han Emperor miscalculated this time, and he would suffer from it regardless of the tail!

Zhang Yiping was the opposite, his face was a little more sad, and he sighed:

"If that's the case, the Han army will be much easier to deal with."

"But Ben will ask the cause and effect from the mouth of the Han sergeant you captured."

"The person who tasted the herbs was the Emperor of Han himself."

"Huh? Ah——!!h ”

Lei Lan knelt for too long, stood up and did not have enough blood supply, dizzy for a while, and heard such shocking news, he immediately did not stand firm on his feet and fell to the ground.

It was lying on top of the thorn and let out a terrible scream.

The corners of Zhang Yiping's mouth twitched, helped Lei Lan up, and then decisively pulled out the thorn that was still inserted in Lei Lan's back.

Lei Lan inhaled in pain, but at this time, he was also hard and did not scream again.

Instead, he fell into contemplation, how could there be such a lord in the world?

Not to mention the lord of the Han Dynasty, even if it is a county order, it is impossible to taste a hundred herbs for the sake of a soldier contracting a disease, right?

But Emperor Han really did this, and it is conceivable how high the morale of the Han army will be when he sees this scene, and what kind of combat power it will have.

The already invincible Han army can now be directly judged to be a battle between the two armies, and the frontal battle is basically useless.

Think about your own monarch again.

Our monarch is actually quite good at tasting it, tasting Baixue.

Lei Lan shook his head, wanting to shake away the unexplained sense of disparity in his heart.

Zhang Yiping knew what Lei Lan was thinking, and he thought about it too, so he patted Lei Lan on the shoulder and said:

"Thinking about it this way, not only is there no fault, but there is merit."

"This trip has figured out the reality of the Han army."

"If you still look at the Han army according to the original way of looking at the sick soldiers, you will lose more than 8,000 people in your hands."

Zhang Yiping's management of the army is not particularly strict, and he pays some attention to human feelings.

This is also forced by the national conditions of Jiaozhi country, and it is a helpless move.

Unlike the Han Dynasty, in addition to filial piety and imperial examinations, there is no good upward channel in the country, and officials rely purely on nepotism.

If he hadn't saved his life with the county order in his early years, no matter how capable he was, he would have to bury the people.

There is such a national situation here, which leads to the fact that the DPRK and China come and go, and there are only a few generals available.

Fold a Wu copper first, and then chop a Lei Lan, if no one uses it in his hand, he can only use those wine bags and rice bags from wealthy families who are rampant.

With such a group of people, he Zhang Yiping is an immortal, and he can't fight.

Lei Lan saw that the defeat was taken away, so he didn't think much about it, and arched his hand and asked:

"How does the general plan to fight against the Han army next?"

"But wherever there is a place where the last general is useful, the last general will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will never give up!"

Zhang Yiping didn't sleep all night, so he naturally came up with some countermeasures.

The thumb of his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, stretched out and rubbed it on the thick whiskers of his chin:

"The general guessed that the Han army would inevitably take advantage of the opportunity of our army's reorganization and no time to take care of other affairs, and take many county towns around Rinan County with a great victory, so as to grab the autumn harvest grain."

Lei Lan was anxious at the time:

"The general still needs to find a way to stop the Han army!"

"This is not a trivial matter, if the Han army is allowed to take the counties around Rinan County and start a harvest, it will be able to replenish the supply of grain and grass."

"Coupled with the continuous arrival of materials from Vung Tau Port, if our army wants to cut off the food of the Han army again, then we can only count on a typhoon at sea to blow the Han army's ships into it!"

Lei Lan said it very tactfully.

If you really want the Han army to succeed in harvesting, coupled with the already strong combat effectiveness and the military spirit brought by the emperor to taste a hundred herbs, you can be invincible in a short time.

Jiaozhi can only pray to God and worship Buddha, hoping that the bad weather at sea will affect the supply of the Han army, and I am afraid that they can exchange for one or two victories.

In such a dangerous situation, Zhang Yiping behaved quite calmly, as if he already had a strategy against the enemy.

He just took out a military order from his armor and handed it to Lei Lan:

"Look at it, Ben will not be illiterate, he can't read."

Lei Lan was stunned, the general is illiterate, everyone knows it, and when the military order is sent, someone should read it directly on the side.

He glanced at the content a few times and understood.

It's not that General Zhang can't understand it, it's not that no one reads it, but he doesn't want to understand it or listen to it.

This is a military order issued by Gao Xiangguo.

Gao Rang said in the military order that he had already transported the homes of ordinary people who had not received land this year to the south.

Now it is for Zhang Yiping to take over and send these people to the counties under Rinan County.

In the name of the United States, the surplus grain of those counties and the taxes to be paid after the autumn harvest are used to provide local relief.

In this way, the loss of grain during transportation can be avoided.

The country of Cochin is rich and suitable for farming, but there will still be land failures.

After all, there are many reasons for poor harvests, and there are always problems every year.

But there was no time when people were deliberately driven to the south, after all, there was no need to go around so much food in the south than in the north.

Therefore, Lei Lan immediately understood that this was a poisonous plan by Gao Rang.

The victims went to the subordinate county seat of Rinan County, and if the Han army had not captured the county seat, the victims would have received relief and the country would have won the hearts of the people.

These victims can even be used to slow down the advance of the Han army.

If the Han army captured the county seat and also chose to provide relief to the victims, then the Han army would not be able to get food and grass supplements, and there would still be problems with material supply.

If the Han army captures the county seat and drives away the victims, it is not to mention that the Han army will definitely lose the hearts and minds of the people.

If at this time, the Jiaozhi side will take in the victims and give them relief, under the advantages of one and the other, the Han army will not only lose the support of the people, but also the hearts of the people in the country of Jiaozhi.

What a plan to attack the heart!

Lei Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Gao Xiangguo is really powerful, no matter what he does, the Han army has fallen into passivity.

At this time, he also understood why Zhang Yiping said that he couldn't understand it.

Because such a strategy is really not in line with Zhang Yiping's character.

It is really difficult for a general like him, who comes from a humble background, to use the disaster victims and displaced people as props to display strategies.

No wonder General Zhang wants to protect himself!

Lei Lan was not ambiguous, he did what he said, and immediately received the order:

"General, the last general can understand, this is Gao Xiangguo's plan, just leave it to the last general!"

Looking at Lei Lan's distant back, Zhang Yiping closed his eyes again.

Even if he can defeat the Han army and drive the Han army out of Jiaozhi, those people who can't read a few characters like him will inevitably suffer from the war.

"That's why Emperor Han will not hesitate to cross the ocean, but also put the battlefield in Jiaozhi?"

——

"The last general is greedy for merit, and I ask Your Majesty to cut it down, and use the military law to correct it!"

Li Jingji did not carry the thorn strip, but the meaning of strict military law with one death is obvious.

Born as a Taoist priest, Xiao Yuan often valued him, and he was able to enter the court, and he also followed the emperor to conquer in person.

In the end, it is the only one who leads the army.

What a blessing this is?

What did he do?

The first battle was lost, and those who were originally ambushed by others were ambushed by others, throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor.

Liu Ke looked at Li Jingji's tired face, hooked his index finger, and swiped it over his trademark bull's nose.

With a hand of sweat on his fingers, he wiped it on his body, and then said:

"Li Qing has been gathering the rout all night?"

Li Jingji arched his hand and said: "Exactly." ”

In a big defeat, if you don't do your best to gather the rout, won't the sin be even greater?

Liu Ke said again:

"How many defeated soldiers have been collected?"

Li Jingji said:

"More than three thousand five hundred, and another five hundred wounded."

Liu Ke nodded, recognizing his ability:

"I only gave you 5,000 soldiers and horses, counting the casualties during the confrontation between the two armies, although Li Qing was accidentally ambushed, he only lost less than 1,000 people."

Li Jingji was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to say this.

Liu Ke continued:

"And with Li Qing in front of the defeat, only then did Lei Lan's rival rush forward and attack at night."

"Only in this way can I lead my troops to ambush and wipe out all their troops."

"At the cost of less than a thousand, killing the enemy and captives, a total of nearly 8,000 people, isn't it a great victory?"

Li Jingji's face immediately turned red, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, and argued:

"How can this be considered a fraud?"

He didn't cheat and lose, he fought seriously according to the military book with a single look, but he didn't win.

"Well, the Admiral is indeed a deception."

But the emperor is exculpating him, although he has the consciousness of repaying the monarch's grace with a death, but who really wants to die?

Li Jingji recognized that he was a fraud, and the original kind complexion on Liu Ke's face changed and became more and more serious:

"Even if it is a fraud, will the nearly 1,000 soldiers die in vain?"

"The last general."

Li Jingji opened his mouth, the king's heart was unpredictable, and he really couldn't tell what the emperor thought.

Liu Ke interrupted him again, and looked directly at Li Jingji:

"You have to remember why they died, and think of a way to keep them alive the next time they encounter this kind of ambush."

There is no shame in losing a battle, but what is ashamed is that we do not know how to sum up experience.

Seeing that Li Jingji's expression moved, Liu Ke continued:

"The families of the nearly 1,000 soldiers, when they return to Qiongzhou, they will be settled by you personally."

"Their parents, wives and children, that is, your parents, wives and children, understand?"

"The last will understand."

Li Jingji focused his head, his snort became thicker, and there were more different things in his eyes.

Liu Ke waved his hand and sent Li Jingji away:

"Let's go down, rest for a day, and take the county seat around Rinan County with me."
