Chapter 128: What Makes a Warrior?
"Master Xu, thank you for your kindness. What is needed later, despite the commands. As soon as the pony stood firm, he thanked Xu Ao again.
Xu Ao hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Ma, I said it before, it's just a gesture, you don't have to worry about it." You can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and it is estimated that General Qin will summon you to inquire about the situation later. ”
"The general is about to ask me something, and I know that this is a map I secretly drew in the Beidi military camp. Everywhere I could see the sentry posts and the places where the prisoners were being held were marked. The pony pulls out a map from his bosom, apparently made of torn clothes, which is stained with blood, presumably without ink, and can only be written in blood.
At the same time, the rescued Yan Jun also expressed his gratitude to Xu Ao, and was taken by two or three sergeants to clean his wounds and arrange a place to rest with the pony.
Xu Hu waited for the two of them to walk away before quietly asking Xu Ao: "The one just now, is it really the pony who took care of General Qin's living before?"
Xu Ao nodded, and Xu Hu said with a little regret: "A person who was so good-looking before, now that he has no nose and ears, which girl will dare to marry him in the future." ”
"Come on, don't worry about others. Tell me how the discussion is going in the castle guard's house. ”
Xu Hu looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he immediately made a bitter face: "I'm still arguing, I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with an idea tonight." ”
Xu Ao rolled his eyes, with a posture that I knew.
Xu Hu reached Xu Ao's arm: "When Gongzi Jiang saved us that day, you weren't so brave, why did you change your sex today?"
"I was sure that I couldn't beat that sunrise that day, and I would be sent to death if I went up. Today, I have seven points to defeat him, even if I can't win, I want to escape from him. Since this is the case, if you can save two more people, you will naturally do it. Xu Ao couldn't say it, he was simply aroused by those two desperate eyes.
Xu Hu patted Xu Ao on the shoulder: "I know that you won't make a loss-making deal." ”
"Don't you have a stomachache?" Xu Aoqi said, before General Qin, he couldn't say a few words and was about to go to the master of the thatched house.
Xu Hu's face changed one after another, and finally rushed down the city wall holding his stomach. A sentence came from afar: "You really can't open a pot!"
Seeing that Xu Ao took over the provocation in front of the battle for everyone, and successfully rescued the two prisoners, everyone was naturally overjoyed. Although it is said that as a general, you should not be afraid to fight, but it is better to be able to do something else with a useful body than to die in a heads-up.
"Everyone, I plan to exchange prisoners with the other party, I don't know what everyone's intentions are?" Xu Ao suddenly thought that it seemed that in the last battle, Qin Yan's two armies also captured some Beidi. If it is exchanged at this moment, won't more Qin and Yan armies be able to go home. What's more, the Yan army suffered the most heavy losses in Zhaohua City because it was the most advanced city, but it was the Qin army, although the Qin army also lost hundreds of thousands of people in the city, when they could flee all the way south from Zhaohua City, the Qin army accounted for the vast majority of the Qin-Yan coalition army. Therefore, the number of prisoners of the Qin army was also the largest among the two armies. Seeing the tragic situation of the pony, Xu Ao naturally thought of the method of exchanging prisoners.
In previous lives, after most wars, there would be a prisoner exchange. Didn't you see that General MacArthur also invited Wainwright, who had been captured at the beginning of the war, to participate in the Japanese surrender ceremony?
"Never, General Xu. Putting those Beidi back is undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain. The old lieutenant, who was still on the front line at the age of sixty or seventy, shouted loudly.
Xu Aoqi said: "Those Beidi don't exchange them for prisoners, do they still spend rice and noodles for nothing?"
"General Xu, those Beidi killed many good sons and daughters of our Qin and Yan countries, and it is not enough to calm our anger if we don't kill them! "The young general of the Yiyuan Qin army was impassioned.
"If we kill them, will Beidi kill our captive, you know, we have many more captives than they have taken. Xu Ao was once again shocked by the worldview of these people. Had they never considered the people who had been captured by Qin and Yan? If they really killed all the captive Beidi, I am afraid that Beidi would be able to kill all the captives of Qin and Yan and worship their ancestors.
"As a soldier of the Qin State, die for the country and die as you deserve!" is still the young general, still so excited, so passionate that Xu Ao can't help but want to pump him.
"Then according to what you say, those captured Qin Yan soldiers deserve to die?" Xu Ao asked with squinted eyes, already very dissatisfied in his heart at this moment.
The young general thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, you can't die for the country, you actually live secretly, they are the shame of the Qin State!"
Hehehehe, Xu Ao's successive sneers made the young generals and most of the generals of the Qin army change their faces: "Well said, they can't die for the country, and they still steal their lives, they deserve to die." Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they didn't want to, Xu Ao suddenly raised his voice, and then roared angrily: "But why were they captured? Because they covered your escape! They stayed at the end and fought until the last moment! That's why they were captured! If it weren't for them, Beidi would have caught up with us and even killed us all! It was they who sacrificed themselves! In the end, you actually said that they deserved to die! Then you deserved to die! Where were you when they fought with Beidi!"
Xu Ao pointed his finger against the people on the city wall one by one: "They have suffered so much and suffered so many crimes, so that you have successfully survived." Now it's good, you think they deserve to die! You think their lives are worse than those wild people! You all have to remember! It's them! They saved you! Are you such heartless bastards!"
And all the people in the city were red-faced.
When Xu Ao wanted to attack again, there was a cheer from afar.
I saw that General Qin led a group of generals who should still be in the council hall, and they had already gone up to the city wall at some point.
Everyone at the head of the city hurriedly saluted: "General Qin." ”
"Excuse me. General Qin looked at the continuous military camp in Beidi outside the city: "Xu Ao is right. The lives of those savages, how can they be compared to our Great Qin Erlang. The valiant should not be let down. Xu Ao, you go and draft the prisoner exchange. Adjutant General Wang, pass on our military orders, and whoever dares to bully the comrades who come back will be dealt with by military law. ”
"Yes, General Qin!" Xu Ao finally showed a smile on his face, as long as General Qin could understand.
General Qin patted Xu Ao on the shoulder again after a few days, and finally no longer lamented his youth, but thanked him for his maturity: "Xu Ao, I originally thought that you were just a person who did things impulsively and by feeling, and occasionally you were a little smart, but you couldn't get on the stage. If the king hadn't told me to take care of you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have looked at you more. Now, I realized that I was wrong, you have great wisdom and a good heart. Thinking of the attitude of the Qin army towards the captured people in the past, I am very ashamed. I've looked at them with the same look I look at Nove that way. Now you have made me understand that they are the most heroic people, just like those soldiers who died in honor. The valiant should not be let down. ”
