Chapter 44: His Highness disagrees
After the sky cleared, the camp of the Jin army slowly quieted down, and the doctors in the army were so busy that they didn't even care about wiping the sweat on their foreheads.
Although the camp was empty, the rest were basically wounded, and Wu Chengju naturally couldn't take all the people away, and left more than 100 people to guard the prisoners, and assigned a division for Guan to send them.
The smoke in the camp has dissipated, and the remaining three men are so tired that they can barely straighten their waists, even the captives have a bowl of chestnut rice porridge to fill their stomachs, and the soldiers are even more full of open stomachs to eat, after the big battle, there are too many attritions, there must be countless grains that cannot be taken away, it is better to eat to save trouble.
Guan Cheng and the soldiers huddled together, holding the same chestnut rice in their hands, and dozens of soldiers around them formed a circle, all listening carefully to Guan Cheng's funny words.
The soldiers had never seen such an approachable prince, and there was something called estrangement that was slowly fading.
The people do not suffer from inequality, and this is especially true of the soldiers.
"Your Highness~"
A soldier limped and jumped and shouted, shaking his arms.
Guan Cheng heard the call and saw that it was the company commander Ai You, who was seriously injured in the battle last night and did not set off with Wu Chengju and others, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries, and a little bandaging was enough.
Guan Cheng has never had a frame for treating the heroes, so he stood up and patted the soil on his buttocks and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ai You bowed and said, "Your Highness, there are many homeless people outside the camp like us. ”
Guan Cheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and before he could react, a soldier next to him said angrily: "Hmph, and the face to come back, if they weren't afraid of messing up the camp last night, we wouldn't have to kill and injure so many brothers, and these homeless people even took the opportunity to snatch grain, grass and jewelry, and now I see that we are victorious and come back, where is the good thing." ”
"That's right, it's really hateful, I'm waiting to fight, but they want to put me to death, thanks to His Highness's kindness, giving food and taking them on the road, it's just unkind!"
The soldiers who had fought all night were clearly disgusted by the displaced people who had abandoned them.
Guan Cheng also felt very distressed about this, although he felt that he urgently needed strength to replenish himself at the moment, but the opinions of these soldiers could not be ignored.
After pondering for a while, Guan Cheng still said to Ai You: "Ai Yousi, you go to spread the meaning of loneliness, if you want to enter my camp to be blessed by me, you must abide by military law, if there is a violation, the military law will be dealt with, and the man must obey the military order, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”
Guan Cheng's calm voice was full of endless murderous aura, obviously he was also unwilling, but in the current situation, he really felt that there was no way.
Ai You wanted to speak and stopped, but was glared back by Guan Cheng.
The soldiers next to them were puzzled, but because of Guan Cheng's authority, no one objected, but all the applications were written on their faces.
Guan Cheng turned his head and looked around a little helplessly, but still decided to explain: "Do you think that loneliness is too kind to a woman?" ”
Guan Cheng asked this sentence with a smile, but the soldiers next to him were startled, and everyone naturally didn't dare to say it.
Guan Cheng continued: "You don't have to rush to ask for guilt, this situation is also very uncomfortable, but they are homeless, not soldiers, so military law cannot bind them, and the people only have two full meals a day, if they can have three meals, it will be an excellent day." ”
"They are afraid of death, but who is not afraid of death? The people work hard all day long to support the whole country, including us, but in the end, they are the ones who suffer the most from the war between the two countries, and there are many wives and families who are broken up and people die. ”
"So although Lone is uncomfortable, but Lone knows that he can't blame them, after all, they are also trying to survive, most of you are from Zhili County and followed Lone, but what about them, they are frightened birds, and the strings sound and the geese sing sadly."
Guan Cheng paused and continued: "Lone is the prince of Datong, and he is responsible for both emotion and reason, but you follow Lone thousands of miles away, and Lone can't bear you because of this, so Lone wants to use military law to support him, in order to survive more people." ”
"Gentlemen, help me!" After Guan Cheng finished speaking, in the shocked eyes of many soldiers, he raised his hands and folded his palms, and bent down.
The soldiers looked frightened, hurriedly flashed to the side, and hugged and knelt all around.
"Your Highness has tormented me and waited, I am a lowly pawn, Your Highness can tell us that the reason is already a blessing to invite heaven, how dare you be a gift to Your Highness!"
Only then did Guan Cheng get up, put the nearest soldier up with both hands, and said to everyone: "Get up, how lucky it is to have you with you in this life!" ”
When he said this, Guan Cheng really sighed from the heart, perhaps because of his childhood experience, which made him feel the value of loyalty very deeply.
Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers.
The wealthy families in Yong'an City, the high-ranking officials, which one is not full of poetry and books, but what? Above the court, he is in Datong, his heart is in the princes, and his eyes are full of it.
The soldiers were also deeply moved, and the warm current in their hearts spread throughout their bodies: "We are fortunate to be able to follow His Highness!" ”
Guan Cheng laughed when he heard this: "Hurry up, Gu said that he didn't like this, the man has gold under his knees, how can he bend his waist so easily." ”
Ten miles northeast of the Jin army, Yan Tao felt that there should be no more soldiers who had fallen behind, and after two or three hours of news, although most of the soldiers were still panicked, their emotions had stabilized, and Yan Tao felt that it was time to leave. Although he felt that the Jin army would not catch up, after all, Guan Chengxiao'er had so many soldiers and horses in his hands, and there was not much left after several major battles, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart, it was better to withdraw a little farther.
Moreover, there are more than 6,000 people in his hands, Yan Tao firmly believes that as long as he catches up with Guan Chengxiao'er again, he will definitely be able to annihilate him in one fell swoop.
At this time, Yan Tao didn't want to consider the orders of the lord of the Jin Kingdom at all, if he couldn't bring Guan Cheng's head back, then his own Zuo Sima would also be able to do it, and it would be bad luck to be horizontal and vertical, so he had to get this evil breath.
Behind Yan Tao, the Nine Infant Banner drooped weakly, like a Jin Army soldier with low morale.
A few officers who ran out shouted loudly for the soldiers to prepare for departure, and from time to time they reminded a sleeping soldier.
At this time, the number of Jin soldiers has exceeded three hundred, but the number of people with weapons is not enough, and the number of people wearing armor is less than two, which can be said to be extremely embarrassing.
Yan Tao looked at the originally elite subordinates walking in front of him like wilted eggplants at this time, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, unwillingness, annoyance and fear.
The courage of the soldiers, but the soldiers are the foundation of the generals.
Without the elite Sima of the left army, it was a joke in front of the other four Simas, in the past, Yan Tao was a pure master in the army or in the court, and the one with the loudest voice, but now he can imagine the ridiculous appearance of his soft voice.
"Hurry up, keep up!" A company commander next to him yelled at his men, as if that would cover up the shame and defeat of the previous night.
Yan Tao sighed imperceptibly, this time the army's heart is scattered, even if the army is replenished, this brigade will be wasted, and it is not easy to train such an elite from scratch.
Not far away, in a place with a back slope, Wu Chengju quietly showed half of his head, looked at the Jin soldiers who began to retreat, and grinned at the corners of his mouth.
Want to go? Have you asked my Highness?
