"Xingba is really brave, even under the two cities, and he takes the lead in every battle. With this military exploit, it is more than enough to be directly promoted to the rank of captain. Come, I honor you. ”

With the end of the battle of Chaisang, the time was quietly the dawn of the next day. After the Zhuge brothers entered the city, they immediately controlled the yamen and the treasury, and then ordered people to set up wine and labor troops to reward the soldiers.

On the wine banquet, the most sought after is naturally Gan Ning, who once again led the dead to the city to seize the door.

If we talk about the siege of Pengze County seven days ago, the main reason for breaking the city was Zhuge Liang's persuasion to surrender and attack the heart.

Gan Ning was more of a kick in the door, taking advantage of the enemy's initiative to open the door, he rushed in to grab a few more heads.

So in tonight's battle of Chaisang, Gan Ning is the real main force.

The Zhuge brothers used every means to break the enemy's morale and provoke the enemy's infighting, although they also greatly weakened the resistance, but after all, the Zheng family still guarded the city gate and the city tower.

"Ziyu is polite, he has been in Rong for many years, but he is also the most enjoyable in recent days, come and come, drink together." Gan Ning was toasted by the Zhuge brothers and Chen Heng, who had just come to surrender, and naturally he was also in high spirits, and the wine was dry.

After drinking three rounds, Zhuge Jin called some military scholars and Cao Peng to learn about the latest battle statistics.

Although the battle has only been over for a short time, the approximate number is already available.

Nagong Cao 1510 reported: "Chen Sima abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, bringing more than 2,000 Danyang soldiers, but only more than 1,700 actually existed, and the rest were mostly killed or wounded and scattered.

More than 900 local soldiers were forced to land, and more than 500 people were captured and wounded.

The total number of beheadings in the whole army was more than 1,100, and more than 400 people were seriously wounded and discarded. Most of the remaining monks and soldiers fled, taking advantage of the night to come out of the west and north gates or fall into the city, and there were also one or two thousand people. ”

Zhuge Jin is concerned about the number of prisoners, but he is also worried that he does not have enough chips at hand.

Only giving Gan Ning a lieutenant seems to be no longer enough to win two cities in a row, not to mention that there are military important places like Chaisang.

So, he had to find something else to reward - and now that everything was created, he was short of talent at hand, and his team was weak. The newly acquired prisoners of war already needed to be commanded, so it was better to allow Gan Ning to expand his descendants.

This kind of thing should not be done often in the future, because it will lead to warlordization.

In history, many generals of Sun Wu in Jiangdong formed family private soldiers. On Cao Wei's side, there are also private forces like the Li Dian family and the Zang Ba family. The troops only listened to the patriarch, and did not listen to the direct dispatch of the imperial court at all.

Zhuge Jin knows the harm of this, but now his strength is too weak, if he doesn't divide the prisoners, he promises that "as long as you train the troops well, these people will be your direct troops in the future, and they will not be transferred away casually".

How could the generals burst out with 120,000 points of potential and work frantically to reform the captives as soon as possible?

Although Zhuge Jin conquered two county towns, when it comes to annihilating the enemy's living forces, he has actually completed the small goal of two percent.

The enemy still has eighty percent of the number, and they are gathered in Haiduan and Nanchang.

It is necessary for Zhuge Jin to digest these captives as soon as possible and form a new combat force, so that he can join forces with his uncle and Guan Yu to fight for the final victory.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin decided to open this opening without discrimination within a limited time window, not only for Gan Ning, but also for Chen Dao, and even Guan Yu.

He counted the reported situation, Chen Heng has more than 1,700, this is a general who took the initiative to surrender, and he can't move around, otherwise no one will be willing to take the initiative to surrender next time.

The rest of the captives, after removing the injuries and unfit to serve as soldiers, are at most 12300 available.

From the overall situation, when Zhuge Jin first came to Yuzhang, there were only 2,000 Danyang soldiers and 300 cavalry from Chen Zhi, and 1,000 from Gan Ning's side.

After this battle, the total strength of Zhuge Jin's army increased by more than 3,000 people, counting the 1,200 people in the previous Pengze County battle, and then deducting the battle losses and sick people. The total number of troops reached as many as seven or eight thousand—

So in ten days, his forces more than doubled. It is necessary to digest the results of the battle, integrate and rectify the formation of combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and don't let these prisoners drag their feet.

Zhuge Jin spoke: "Xingba, I don't have the authority to give you more rewards for the time being, so let's do it, in addition to the position of captain promised to you, I will allocate 1,200 more people from the prisoners of war, and from then on, I will hand it over to you, and bring the men and horses you originally brought out all the way, deduct the casualties, and make up 2,000 soldiers."

In the next few days, until the end of the New Year, it is estimated that I will not take the initiative again. We took Chaisang and sealed the waterway of Peng Lize to communicate with the Yangtze River, which can be regarded as the trend of catching turtles in the urn, and Zhenrong has no chance to escape from Yuzhang by water, and the follow-up can be slowly figured out.

You should also seize this time to recover your combat strength and train your soldiers. I will also go to meet with Captain Guan as soon as possible, and ask him to assist in presiding over the overall situation and planning the follow-up decisive battle in the long run. ”

Gan Ning was originally drunk, and when he heard that Zhuge Jin promised to supply him with 1,200 people, he would be counted as his soldier from then on, and his heart was suddenly happy.

In tonight's battle, not all of those prisoners of war were captured by his troops, and a considerable part of them were captured by Chen Zhibu, who later followed the cover into the city.

Zhuge Jin gave him 1,200 people, and Chen Zhi couldn't share much.

Gan Ning was actually a little embarrassed, looked left and right again, only to notice that Chen Zhi was not there, and then asked with a smile:

"Will Uncle Zhi be displeased with this distribution?"

Zhuge Jin: "There is a specialization in the art industry, you are good at attacking, vigorous and resolute, and your uncle is good at guarding, and he is not moving like a mountain." When he came with me, he was responsible for guarding him, and he didn't dare to leave without permission when he was idle, so he would naturally miss some opportunities for meritorious service.

However, I expected the aftermath to be unsettled—before we broke Chaisang, we had only broken the enemy reinforcements that had come by sea from the sea dusk once. But with Zhenrong's eyes, how could he not see the importance of Chaisang? Will his rescue be so good? So Zhenrong is definitely not not not not saved, but he doesn't dare to go by water to save again, and he is afraid of being killed by you!

Ah Liang estimated the enemy's journey by land, and no matter how slow he went, he would arrive within two days. If you don't spare your physical strength when crossing the mountains, you will arrive in more than a day.

Therefore, after breaking the city last night, just now I let Shuzhi's soldiers and horses rest a little, feast and pay a lot, and then immediately set off south, and went to the dangerous place of the Lugu Valley Road to set up an ambush. There are already more people in Shuzhi's department than you, and most of them are used as reserves in these two siege battles, so it is not as hard as you, so there is no problem in moving to the next one immediately.

In this Lushan ambush battle, if he can defeat the enemy, how many prisoners he will catch at that time will be assigned by me, and Xingba, you don't stretch out your hand again. ”

When Zhuge Jin said this, his tone was relaxed, as if he was laughing.

But everyone knows that the conditions he offered are by no means a joke, and if he agrees, he can't bargain.

Gan Ning is also an arrogant person, he has always hoped that the rewards and punishments will be clear, and it should be his deserved credit, and he doesn't want to be less at all.

And the trophies of the troops of the robe Ze's friendly neighbors, he will not be blushing.

Gan Ning immediately poured down the residual wine in the wine jar again, and said proudly:

"In the future, you don't need to ask this kind of thing—if you ask again, you don't know me. Whether this 'Battle of Lushan' will happen or not is still between the two. Even if it happens, I didn't participate in the war at all, how can I have the shame to share the profits?

Ziyu, Ah Liang, although you say that God calculates, but you are so sure of what you say, it is inevitable that you will be overbearing. Fortunately, now that the cold winter is in the moon, it will not feed the mosquitoes. It's just that I don't know if they have enough warm clothes, don't kill the enemy, and they have frostbite more than 100 times. ”

Gan Ning obviously drank a little too much, and was slightly fluttery.

felt that this kind of thing was unlikely to be predicted accurately, but the other party was straightforward, so he had to make a bar.

If you are sober, think back to the Zhuge brothers you have seen these days, and I am afraid that you will not dare to say so.

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly, and didn't mind Gan Ning's bar.

And Chen Heng, the military Sima who had just surrendered on the side, had not seen too many Zhuge brothers' rebellion before.

After listening to Gan Ning's questioning, he also felt that it made sense, and casually echoed a few words, hinting that Chen Zhibai should not run away and frostbitten the soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhuge Jin was also happy to do so, and decided to make a bet on Liwei.

He patted Chen Heng on the shoulder: "Sima Chen, our brother has always been true to his word, and when he was in Peng Ze before, he made a promise that 'all those who defected to the battlefield to help kill the rebels will be pardoned, and the leader will be promoted to the next level'."

Li Yi, the marquis of Peng Zequ's army, seized the door to greet Wang Shi, and I was promoted to Sima of his army after the war. Although you did not offer your door today, it is not your fault, you have done your best. Why don't we attach another bet -

If Uncle Zhi can wait for the enemy's land reinforcements in Lushan today, and defeat him, then I will naturally promote him to the rank of captain. And when the time comes, you, the lieutenant, will be temporarily assigned to him to be dispatched, so as not to have inconsistent military orders. ”

Zhuge Jin himself is only a captain, Guan Yu is only a captain, and getting a few captains is already the limit of management.

But Zhuge Jin's ability to directly lead the troops is still almost non-existent, and he has to completely rely on Chen in terms of ordering and prohibiting the suppression of the formation and supervising the battle.

The wish he made can't be sealed, and after it is sealed, the other party will temporarily obey Chen Dao at the same level, and he can only rely on some gods to make a gambling contract to fully establish his authority.

Outsiders who have just come to Zhuge Army really have to find an opportunity to polish their tricks a little.

Chen Heng did not doubt him, and heartily agreed to the gambling contract. Anyway, it's nothing if you lose, it's a big deal to be commanded by Chen Zhi on the battlefield, and just execute it step by step.

……

After Zhuge Jin got Gan Ning and Chen Heng, he signaled them to eat and drink well, and then gave the second brother Zhuge Liang next to him a look, and glanced at the Gong Cao who reported again.

Zhuge Liang has cooperated with the eldest brother in the past few days, and he has a very tacit understanding, and he can know what the eldest brother is questioning with a glance.

He pondered for a moment, pulled Nagong Cao to the outer corridor of the hall alone, and asked in a low voice: "Why is the number of heads killed not in the same proportion as casualties and captures?" Only to take refuge in capturing more than 3,300 people alive, but there are 1,0100 people who have been cut down? ”

Na Gongcao bowed his head and was silent, not daring to draw conclusions. Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and asked, "Are those soldiers under Chen Heng's command and those who died fighting against the monks and soldiers also cut off their heads by their own comrades-in-arms?" ”

That Gong Cao's eyes showed embarrassment at this time, and he said helplessly: "Among the heads, there are indeed some long-haired county soldiers, and almost all the corpses of the county soldiers found when cleaning the battlefield are not first. But this matter is still not a big deal, and there is no ironclad evidence. After all, when asked, they said that not all of those county soldiers had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and some of them were stubborn and had to follow the Zheng family. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes darkened, and he guessed that Chen Heng was indeed a greedy person, a little unscrupulous. His own people died in battle, and he had to use them to count his head.

But the eldest brother promised that his lieutenant must be honored, and the rest will be said slowly. Those who are incapable, even if they are given to the troops, will not be able to hold on in the long run, and will eventually flow to famous generals who are good at leading troops.
