When we returned to the main city of the Tang River, dawn had arrived, and heavy snow was floating in the gray sky, and white light was also revealed.

"The various departments continued to be fifty miles on the periphery, relying on the Batu Great Array to deploy defenses. Passing the commander again, no matter what the situation, the eight sides respond, you can defend yourself, but you can't attack. Zhang Ye ordered on the outskirts of Tanghe City, "In addition, Zhuang Tai's headquarters and the commanders of each battalion will sort out the casualties and enter the city to report to the commander. ”

"Yes!"

The commanders of all the city defense battalions have been different from the past, and they knelt on the ground to receive orders unusually neatly.

For civilian officials, political achievements represent everything, while for generals before the battle, military achievements represent everything. Zhang Ye won the first battle of this battle, attacked decisively, applied strategy and tactics properly, and completely annihilated more than 100 fourth-layer masters of the enemy's Jindan and a second-layer giant bandit, which is unique in the history of the unparalleled suppression of bandits.

So here, for the first time, the supreme majesty has been established.

Not only did the rest of the generals respect and worship, but even the remnants of Zhuang Tai's army, who had a heart disease with Zhang Ye before and had suffered defeat in this battle, also knelt on the ground respectfully, crying like some bloody people: "Xie Dashuai took the risk to rescue, I was offended before." ”

Zhang Ye sighed lightly and said: "Get up, get up, tidy up after entering the city, bathe and change clothes, eat a good meal, drink enough wine, and come to see Ben Shuai again." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, including Zhuang Tai, and also felt that Zhang Ye was too generous?

"I'll wait...... I don't dare to ......wait," the remaining more than 100 people in Zhuang Tai's department didn't dare to get up and cried: "We are guilty, and we dare not accept the generous treatment of the metropolitan governor." ”

Zhang Ye said softly: "No need to do this, get up and tidy up, this is your last wine, last meal, enjoy it, write a good letter to each other, and then come to see Ben Shuai." ”

Hearing this, the commanders of all the city defense battalions changed their colors, and these bloody people who crawled out of the pile of dead people also cried even more sadly, and they were so panicked that they didn't dare to get up.

Listening to the tone, everyone knew that Zhang Ye was going to behead all of Zhuang Tai's department.

Huang Lei also felt a little frightened, and tried to speak: "Dashuai, do you want them to ......?"

Zhang Ye raised his hand and stopped: "Don't say it again, kill them, Ben Shuai is more distressed than anyone else." But it must be cut, otherwise what is my unparalleled national policy, I don't listen to the orders of this commander, I attack privately, drag the entire Lianghe territory, the entire central part of Wushuang into danger, and drag the unparalleled national policy, His Royal Highness's house, into danger. Not killing is not enough to comfort the soldiers who died in this battle, and it is not enough to rectify the national policy and military orders, that's all. ”

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore, and looked at Zhang Ye in a daze.

Zhu Jin still dared to speak, and tried to say: "Dashuai, can you only kill the boss and not his subordinates?"

"No!" Zhang Yeyi waved his hand to stop, "In the past half month, the commander has inspected the battalions several times, and he has been conveying the importance of this battle and conveying the idea of the commander's general order, this is not just an order to the commander, that is the core idea of everyone who understands the commander. However, all the troops of Zhuang Tai ignored the orders of the commander and the unparalleled national policy, and attacked privately, dragging all of us into danger. Remember, you are the unequaled soldiers, loyal to the king, and subject to the control of my pacification of the Grand Governor, remember, you are not Zhuang Tai's private army, not the Zhuang family's private soldiers. ”

After speaking, Zhang Ye said sharply: "You are so happy that you do not obey orders, resulting in the death of more than 200 of your own brothers! If you don't die, you are worthy of them? If this matter does not turn around, you will be beheaded, but this commander will not take you down like sinners, and this commander will not send people to supervise you." Now you have not entered the city, you can flee, you can rebel, but then you will be put on a pillar of shame. On the contrary, you can also retain your dignity and come to see the commander yourself. In this way, you are still unparalleled soldiers, and you still have a share of the credit for the annihilation of the bandits in this battle, and your families will enjoy the glory. ”

After Zhang Ye finished speaking, he took the Longwei camp and entered the city, but he really didn't care about Zhuang Tai's department.

As a result, the more than 100 remnants of Zhuang Tai's troops were defeated, and they never dared to get up, kneeling in the snow and crying......

Entering the inner city lobby, Zhang Ye finished tidying up by himself, and after washing away the dust of the night, he sat down in the high hall, took a sip of the spiritual tea sent by Changkong Biqing, and calmed down.

Fought a big victory, there was no danger, but he wanted to kill all the Zhuang Tai subordinates, in fact, Zhang Ye himself was also made by his own decision, and his heart was surging, and it was always difficult to calm down, and the hand holding the teacup was not as stable as before, and trembled slightly.

I kept thinking about it, and before I knew it, there were three more white hairs on Zhang Ye's temples.

Changkong Biqing, who was following him, said worriedly: "Xiangye, they are here, have they been waiting outside for a long time?"

Zhu Jin, who was waiting below, also said softly: "Dashuai, is it difficult for you to decide whether to kill them or not?"

Zhang Ye said: "Chopping must be chopped, but I can't get over it in my own heart." They are soldiers and not bandits, they are at fault, but there has never been a moment when they have lost the demeanor of unparalleled soldiers, in the face of the siege and killing of more than a hundred Jindan thieves, they swore to resist to the death, did not cry or shout. But when Ben Shuai announced that he was going to kill them, they all cried. ”

Zhu Jin and Changkong Biqing listened, and they were also a little sad in their hearts, their eyes were a little red, but they couldn't speak.

After a long time, Changkong Biqing tried to say again: "Xiangye, is there really no turning?"

Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "There is no turn, it must be cut." Okay, upgrade. ”

After the order was given, the big drum outside sounded, and after only one breath, everyone who had been waiting for a long time was already in the main hall in an orderly formation faster than ever.

Including the officials of the government department led by Zhuang Ning, they also received the news last night, and they seemed much more cautious than before.

"The various ministries reported the casualties last night, so that Ben Shuai knows. Zhang Ye patted the wooden road.

After that, an orderly report was carried out, and the commander of each city defense battalion made a report in turn, and Changkong Biqing followed Zhang Ye's side to count.

Zhang Ye looked at the results of the statistical collation, regardless of Zhuang Tai's words, it was indeed a big victory, last night's strategy and tactics were properly applied, the lion fought the rabbit, the exchange ratio was extremely amazing, and the remaining forty or so city defense battalions only lost less than 30 people.

The last to come out was Zhuang Tai, who had been put in order and had come to a new look, and all the one hundred and sixty-seven remnants had come.

More than 100 people walked to the center and knelt on the ground, and Zhuang Tai reported: "Our department has suffered 247 casualties, and the end will be guilty...... failed to manage his subordinates well, and after the commander himself entered the city, my department ...... Four fled on their own. ”

Everyone began to look at each other, and there was a real escape.

Zhang Yeleng was stunned, there was no accident to flee, after all, there were many people who shouted that they were not afraid of death, but there were not many who were really not afraid of death. Of the remnants of more than 160 people, only four fled in fear of death, in fact, this Zhuang Tai is not useless, and it can be regarded as a good way to govern the army.

Zhu Jin asked instead of Zhang Ye: "Report the name of the fugitive." ”

Zhuang Tai's eyes suddenly turned red, and as soon as he reported, it turned out to be all people from the Zhuang family.

"That's good. Zhang Ye looked around and said: "Go to the palace marshal's mansion, posthumously seal the fallen soldiers, including the martyrs of Zhuang Tai's department, and add pensions to their families." As for the four people who fled, they announced the Peerless Realm, and the whole realm pursued and besieged them, and wrote their names on the Peerless Pillar of Shame. The family will not be held responsible, but the family will be deprived of all favors. ”

"This ......" Hearing that the four were all from the Zhuang family, Zhuang Ning was a little embarrassed, and said, "Governor, this station thinks that this matter may be discussed again, after all, we won the first battle, and escaping is only a very rare case." If the fanfare announcement is reported to the palace marshal's mansion, it is tantamount to erasing the achievements of the metropolitan governor and disgrace what should have been a great joy. This station suggests that if you suppress it and not report it, at the same time send someone to chase them and arrest them back. To make a big thing a small thing, you must know that this is also to preserve the face of the Metropolitan Governor and His Royal Highness, after all, the Metropolitan Governor invites the battle on behalf of His Royal Highness. Under the rule of the Grand Governor, there were defector sergeants, which is probably ...... It's not good. ”

Zhang Yeyi waved his hand and said: "There are not so many twists and turns, right is right, wrong is wrong." A few filthy Zhuang birdmen, can they erase our achievements? They escaped by themselves, and they took all the Zhuang Tai subordinates who were about to die, where did they uphold? ”

"Yes. "The sky is green, and I have received my order as a clerk.
