Chapter 721: Swapping People for People
"Yes, General, I will report it truthfully." Gu Shan said very sincerely, and then told everything that happened when he entered the mercenary camp in detail, and even Yang Er met him and told him truthfully what he promised.
"General, I didn't say a word of lie, everything I said was true. I also saw in the barracks that we were mercenary Tatar soldiers during the previous battles, and most of them were treated well, although they were locked up in military tents, they were not beaten and reprimanded, and there was still a fixed time every day to go out and let off steam. And once one of them is willing to surrender, he will be immediately divided and treated better. And even those soldiers who have not made a choice for the time being will be able to eat enough for three meals and will not go hungry. ”
Listening carefully to Gu Shan talking in detail about everything he saw, Su He nodded from time to time. He could feel that Gu Shan was not lying, he had interjected several times, and then asked the previous question again, and the answers he got were all the same, there was no difference.
From Gu Shan's mouth, he knew more about the mercenaries, and also knew that his soldiers were doing well, and he could finally rest assured. Slowly he closed his eyes, then waved his hand and said, "Very good, thank you for telling you so much, now you can leave." ”
Gu Shan, who could leave, did not move immediately, but took the initiative to say after struggling in his heart: "General, don't you choose to join the mercenary?" They were indeed well treated, and their mental outlook was no worse than that of our Tatar cavalry. ”
"Hehe, don't say it again, otherwise it will only force me to change my mind not to kill you, you can leave."
Although he didn't say anything more, Su He had already expressed his determination with practical actions. That is, someone else can surrender, but he won't. How can he say that he is also a general who once commanded 10,000 cavalry, how could he choose to surrender in exchange for a new life?
Having said that, Su Hedu was already about to get angry, and it was said that this time was also the time for Gu Shan to leave. But he still didn't move, but after his face was tangled, he suddenly said a sentence, "General, the mercenary side wants to see you surrender the most, and promised that you will have the opportunity to lead the troops alone after you pass." He also said that if you don't go over, Childe Hararuo's life will be in danger. ”
Listening to Gu Shan still making noise here, Su He was already about to get angry, wasn't his expression clear and specific enough? Why does the other party still have to persuade himself, he has to give the other party some powerful looks. And just when he was thinking about punishing Gu Shan, he suddenly heard the last sentence and heard the name of Hara, and for a while, his originally closed eyes suddenly opened, "What did you say?" Hara Ruochu is still alive, how is he now? ”
Su He finally reacted, which made Gu Shan breathe a sigh of relief. Before he came, Yang Er told him that if possible, he could help persuade Su He and give him a letter for this. But Yang Er also said that this task can also be left uncompleted, after all, it is too dangerous, and no one will blame him if he does not complete it. Of course, if you complete it, there will be additional rewards and so on.
On the way to meet Su He along the way, Gu Shan thought a lot. In the end, he decided to give it a try, not only because of the rich reward, but also because of a more important factor, he respected General Su He very much, and didn't want to see the general end up dying because he didn't surrender, so he finally mustered up the courage to give it a try, and now it seems that he finally made the right bet.
Gu Shan, who was happy in his heart, took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Su He. "General, this is a letter from the mercenary general to you, it should have the answer you want, take a look."
Su He took the letter without hesitation, and then expanded it to read, and finally knew what happened in Xihe and Beipo.
Not to his surprise and speculation. Both the 5,000 Tatar cavalry on the West River and the 10,000 Tatar cavalry on the northern slope were defeated.
The defeat was still very complete, General Grand, who commanded the northern slope, was killed in the chaos, and Hara, who led the 5,000 cavalry of the West River, was lucky and was captured alive. Now the man is in the hands of the mercenaries, who originally wanted to kill him. But if Su He is willing to surrender, this person can not die, which is not only the promise of the mercenary leader Da Ming, but also expresses the other party's importance to him.
At the end of the letter, it was also written in Yang Chendong's own handwriting, "General Su He, I have heard for a long time that I am powerful in commanding troops, and I look forward to it, if I want to return, I should be reused." Da Ming is loyal and courageous! ”
Just a few words of this act, in Su He's eyes, it really weighed as much as 10,000 catties, which made Su He's heart feel moved. The other party wanted to subdue himself so deliberately, which made him feel some secret joy in his heart.
Good birds choose trees to perch. Anyone who has the ability wants to find a master, and only in this way will they not bury their talents. Su He also had a great dream in his heart, that is, to rule the entire steppe like his predecessor, Genghis Khan, the greatest hero in his heart, and then let the Mongolian iron horses travel all over the world and achieve supreme hegemony.
Unfortunately, this wish was completely lost because he had caught up with Agadorji. This is a greedy man, a man of the eye, who will stop moving forward as long as he is well fed, warmly clothed, and has enough power. With such a person, it may be possible to barely live, but it is obviously impossible to achieve the royal industry and hegemony. If it weren't for the other party who promoted himself and reused himself, I'm afraid that he Su He would have left a long time ago.
I thought that there would be no chance to fulfill my wish in this life, but now, the opportunity is in front of me again. Da Ming Zhong Courage, the legendary god of war, a person who can easily defeat Yexian handed an olive branch to himself, how could this not make him excited?
But sometimes, excitement isn't enough. What really moved Su He's heart was that as long as he chose to surrender, he could save Ha Raruo's life, which could be regarded as hitting his heart and making him enter a place where there was no choice.
Without Agadorji's attention and promotion, there would be no Suhe today. In order to repay the kindness, he desperately let the other party leave, and it is said that he has repaid the kindness. But this doesn't seem to be enough, he doesn't just want to even, he also wants the other party to owe him a favor, so that no matter who talks about it in the future, he won't blame himself. And if you can save Hararu, it will be equivalent to making Agadorji owe himself a great favor, and that is a real perfection.
"Is Hara Ruo still alive? I want to see him make decisions. Although Su He was already moved, he didn't show it, but said very calmly.
"Yes, I will relay the general's request to the mercenary general, you just wait for the news." Gu Shan naturally can't make any promises, and he doesn't have such power, all he can do is convey the original words.
"Okay, I'll give us two days, if we don't see Hara Ruo out in two days, then you are deceiving me, and at that time, even if I fight to the death, I will fight you to the end." Su He's voice turned cold, and he released his murderous aura.
"Yes." Gu Shan was affected, and after quickly agreeing, he left the tent.
Soon after, the news reached the mercenary camp, and the officers below had different opinions on Su He's request.
Someone suggested that Hara Ruo could not be handed over, this person had had unfavorable thoughts about the sixth young master before, and there was even a big battle in the low stone pile, and he was the only son of Aga Dorji, this person could not be let go, he should be killed. Besides, the other side was not surrounded, and the news said that at least more than 6,000 Tatar cavalry had escaped, and it was difficult to say whether it would be a climate in the future.
As soon as this idea was put forward, it was supported by many people. Everyone thinks that for the sake of a defeated Su He, it is worth the loss to let go of Hara Ruo.
So many people supported this point of view, so that the sound of the quarrel in the big tent soon disappeared, and after unifying the opinions, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Chendong, who was sitting in the first place and had not spoken.
"A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find, you must have all heard of it." With a smile on his face, Yang Chendong's gaze swept over the faces of the officers in the tent one by one.
"Su He's skills, I think you are obvious to all. Let me ask you a question, in front of the mercenaries, if you were to command these Tatar cavalry, would you be guaranteed to be better than what Su He did? He didn't talk about any big truths, Yang Chendong changed to speak with facts, just a question was thrown out, and the tent became silent at the moment.
They asked themselves, unless they knew all the plans of the Sixth Young Master, and there might be some chance of winning by joining forces, otherwise they would definitely not be able to win this battle. It can be said that the moment they became enemies with the mercenaries, the Tatar cavalry was defeated.
"Hehe, I know that many of you look down on the defeated generals in your hearts. But what I want to say is that defeat is not a mistake, even if whoever commands this army, the consequences will be the same, so why look down on Su He? As for defeat, most of you have experienced it, so how can I ever look at you differently? ”
As soon as he asked this, the faces of many of the tents turned red. Especially like Ye La, the head of the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment, and Liu Dai, the deputy head of the regiment, and others, their faces were even crimson. Aren't they the generals of the defeated army in the first place? It is precisely because of his good ability that he was finally favored by Yang Chendong and reused to get to where he is today.
