Chapter 54: Guilt

When the doctor saw this, he was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but cry bitterly, and the two doctors next to him also wept. Li Bing whispered: "It's urgent, what is a daughter!" Quick talk! “

Doctor Gong said: "The ministers guard the mouth of Fu, and fight with the Wei people in the day." The Wei people were numerous, and the Qin people were injured. Wei Naijian entered, and we were all destroyed! A few days later, Wei Shichen and others entered the general's camp, and the general ordered us to return to the party with the scepter. ”

Li Bing said: "Who is the general?" Is there a military geometry in Fukou? How many generals are there? How much is the Wei people? ”

Doctor Gong said: "The general, Wen Zheng's family, I don't know his name." The Fukou Army is a public ride. The general's army and the people of the Wei people are subordinate to Fukou, but they are doctors, and they don't know the details! ”

Li Bing said: "Where are your officials and doctors?" ”

Doctor Gong said: "Doctor Gong and his ministers waited for three days in Fukou, and retreated behind the battle after exhausting their strength. It was night, and the neighboring camp shouted that the enemy was attacking, and the ministers quickly lined up. The battle was not completed and the Wei army arrived, the official doctor was not in the battle, and the public doctor did not know what to do. The minister was hit hard in the battle and fainted to death, and Su Shi was trapped by the Wei people! ”

Li Bing said: "How much is the person you lead? ”

Doctor Gong said: "I led a thousand people, and General Zheng took the rate of the public, and the doctor and Shiwu were all generals." Than out of the mountain pass, not more than the above, but stay in Shiwu with it. I have been a doctor for the longest time, and I think I am a doctor! These two sons are both doctors, slightly younger, and are official doctors. ”

Li Bing said: "In the current leadership, how many people are in the past? ”

The doctor hesitated. Li Bing said: "How much do you know who is a doctor? ”

The doctor said, "But there are three of us." ”

Li Bing said: "You will gather your department!" ”

The three of them immediately went out of the city, shouted a few times, and immediately dozens of people stood up and lined up beside the three of them.

Li Bing simply said loudly directly: "I am a party captain, but those who do not change and get all the subordinates are subordinate to them!" ”

There were about two or three hundred people who stood up.

Li Bing said to the rest of the people: "Where are you and the other officials?" ”

A soldier said: "Wounded or killed, I don't know what to do!" ”

Three hundred others stood up and said, "Yesterday we belonged to his ministers." ”

Li Bing said: "You and others report their names, places of origin, and titles. ”

The troops coming down from the mountain arrived at Jianzi City almost at the same time as the troops coming from Li Cheng to meet them. Li Bingnai sorted out the newly arrived troops as he had done before, and then called the public doctor and the official doctor who led the team to the city to inquire, and then went to the camp to check on the non-commissioned officers, and gradually understood the situation.

The main part of the two groups that have come out now are lightly wounded who were captured after the defeat at Fukou, and each batch has 1,000 people, and the non-commissioned officers who are still fighting in the Wu'an Army are officers at all levels. Among these officers, the commander of Shiwu can withdraw with the army, and those who are in charge of more than fifty people must return to Wu'an! Moreover, the current withdrawal of Shiwu Chang is all the original Bai Qi's personal guards! This confirms the report of the military envoy to them, Zheng Anping at the cost of the detention of the officer, in exchange for the return of the non-commissioned soldiers!

The next day, Pi Wanqin led a thousand people from the party army to Jianzi City. Li Bing briefed him on what he knew yesterday and the measures to rectify the troops, and said: "If all the troops are injured and cannot stay in Zhangban, they should return as soon as possible." That night, he left 1,000 people for Li Bing, led 500 people himself, and returned to Shangdang with the first and second batches of 2,000 people. Along the way, although the cities in various places also provided some food and drinking water, they could not even reach the level of half food, and it was not bad to drink only one bowl of soup with a few grains of corn a day. Many of the wounded's wounds began to become inflamed and suppurated.

Within five days, the team arrived at Shangdang. The conditions here are slightly better, and all the soldiers have eaten a real meal of corn porridge!

After Pi Wan arrived at his eldest son, he immediately wrote a report to Xianyang, saying that Zheng Anping had made peace with Sanjin without authorization, and that his department was retreating to the upper party. The party has little food and cannot afford to resettle, so please ask for further arrangements.

After Xianyang got the report, he instructed Pi Wan to give each pawn a defeat theory and return to his own place; The doctors returned to Xianyang to correct their crimes.

When Xianyang's instructions reached Shangdang, it was already half a month later, and all the soldiers who could be withdrawn from Wu'an had been withdrawn, including some low-ranking knights, but the doctors who were withdrawn were limited to prisoners of war in Fukou; None of the doctors in the Wu'an department came out.

Due to the lack of food for the Shangdang, the soldiers were arranged to return to their hometowns according to Xianyang's instructions. The origins of these soldiers are divided into two categories: those stationed in Fukou generally live in Guanzhong; And those who came back from the Wu'an army generally lived in Hedong. The soldiers who lived in Hedong were soon dismissed. The soldiers stationed in the customs left in groups without being injured, while those who were seriously injured could only stay in place for treatment. What is more special are those original Bai Qi's personal guards, who served as officers at all levels in Zheng Anping's army, and according to the agreement between Zheng Anping and Xin Lingjun, they could not leave; But Zheng Anping played a trick and let those low-level knights serve as the chief of the Shiwu, including the commander of the temporarily formed Fukou Battalion; With the acquiescence of Brother Su, about 3,000 people were created by the princes who served as the chief of the Shiwu, but none of the people with the titles of hairpins or above came out. Most of these former guards who retreated to Shangdang were uninjured or slightly injured and should be repatriated to their places of origin according to regulations. But they publicly recommended one person to Pi Juan that he did not want to return to Guanzhong, and was willing to join the army in Shangdang and wait for the brothers in the camp. This group of people is not many in number, and there are many elites, Pi Wan agreed, and they were arranged as a separate army, stationed in the three places of Changzi, Lucheng, and Gaodu. The former sergeants of the three places went home to work in the fields.

There were only 5,000 Qin troops in Fukou, and there were only about 60 officials above the rank of doctor, most of whom were killed or seriously wounded in battle, and they did not withdraw at all; The thirteen doctors who were able to evacuate were all wounded, and none of them were lightly injured, but they were still able to move. Walking from Handan to Shangdang had exhausted their physical strength, and many of them were in a worsening condition and could not continue walking. It is basically impossible to send them to Xianyang. Pi Juan concentrated them in a courtyard, and while asking the military doctor to treat them, he reported to Xianyang again: after investigation, a total of 13 doctors were withdrawn, all of whom were seriously injured and could not continue to walk, and when the injuries improved, they would be sent to Xianyang.

After Pi Juan's second report arrived in Xianyang, the King of Qin decided to send Tingwei to Shangdang to try the case!

When Pi Wan's first report arrived in Xianyang, it caused chaos in the court! The leading general made peace with the princes without authorization, and it was obviously an unforgivable sin! Immediately, someone suggested that Zheng Anping's family should be imprisoned. It was Zhang Lu who came forward and said: "The Zheng family is from Liang, Xianyang but has a wife and children, and now lives in the courtier's office as a servant. The minister is willing to hold on to it, so as to serve the king's order! ”

King Qin said: "Zheng's matter, but Wanqing's words did not get his feelings. His soldiers returned to their hometowns, and their doctors entered Beijing for inquiry! ”

In fact, in the minds of the ministers, Zheng Anping's surrender must be greedy for life and fear of death, the loss of 20,000 troops should not be large, and the officials above the doctor level should have two or three hundred people. If these people are arrested and questioned, the truth will certainly be obtained. So ten days later, when Pi Wan's second report arrived, this impression was broken: there were only thirteen doctors who had withdrawn, and each of them was injured.

What worries them the most is not Zheng Anping, but Wang Di. Wang Yi led 100,000 troops to retreat to Taojun, but now he doesn't know anything about his situation, and he can't even contact Taojun. Zhang Tang beheaded Cai Donation, and since then, there has been no news, and he naturally can't count on him to answer Wang Ji. And Zheng Anping went to support Wang Di, Zheng Anping surrendered, doesn't that mean that Wang Di is also in danger! The shouting and killing of Zheng Anping somewhat implies this kind of despair. But if Zheng Anping's troops had fought bravely, everyone above the doctor would have been injured......

Chen Si kept sending spies to find out the news of Handan, but the spies couldn't get into the surroundings of Handan: it was a battlefield, and normal people would dare to run there! The suburbs are completely dilapidated and desolate. Whether it's doing business or visiting relatives, it's not a suitable excuse. Even for the New Year, Handan was lifeless and had no business to do.

The soldiers who withdrew from Wu'an can be regarded as people who know first-hand what happened. The King of Qin sent people to Shangdang, nominally to try the Qin army's doctors, but in fact to inquire about the military situation.

When Ting Wei arrived at Shangdang, there was Chen Si among them. But to their surprise, all the doctors could only describe the situation of the battle at Fukou, and knew nothing about the battle situation in Wu'an. Chen Si asked Pi Wan about the soldiers who had retired from Wu'an, and Pi Wan knew this very clearly, they were all from Hedong and should be in Hedong. Pi Juan told Chen Si that the defenders who are now on the party are the original Bai Qi's personal guards, and they have served as officers in the Wu'an army. This made Chen Si overjoyed, and immediately interviewed those guards.

It's a pity that these guards are all Shiwu chiefs, and they don't even have the experience of leading more than fifty people. They have a deep sense of the details of the battle situation, but they can't form a complete idea of the big picture. Chen Si had to talk to the soldiers during the day, and mark the corresponding content on the map he had drawn in the past at night. Unfortunately, he had never been to the area of the Leather Prison, and was not familiar with the terrain there, so he could only rely on the descriptions of the soldiers to draw a rough outline. Even so, it took him nearly a month to finally have a general understanding of Zheng Anping's actions in Wu'an.

Since the withdrawal of Wu'an, Pi Juan and Li Bing have not relaxed their vigilance in the direction of Wu'an, for fear that the Wei army or the Zhao army will take the opportunity to sneak attack Shangdang. However, the Shangdang was short of manpower and could not afford to conduct large-scale reconnaissance, so they could only be satisfied that everything would be fine without the appearance of enemy troops in the direction of Pigao. After all the soldiers in Wu'an were dismissed, Li Bing began to plan to go deep into Wu'an to carry out activities. He was surprised to find that Wu'an's Wei army had withdrawn, and the Wu'an garrison had once again been transferred to the Zhao army.

Entering February, the news finally came that the Wei army had returned to China! And Handan, after a year-long war, finally began to resume production. Merchants from all walks of life began to march to Handan......

Immediately, news came that it was not Xinlingjun who led the Wei army back to China, but an unknown general Aragaki Yan.
