Chapter 766: The General Died in a Hundred Battles (Part II)
The battle on the field had stopped, and the Qin soldiers who were surrounded by Han Xin and Heifu saw that they could not do anything, and most of them chose to surrender, and for a time, nearly 10,000 prisoners were captured, all of whom abandoned their swords and lined up under the shouting of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
"Marquis Wu Zhong does not kill prisoners."
The "kindness of women" who released the 4,000 people in Anlu County has become the main reason for the surrender of tens of thousands of people today.
Immediately, the news of Feng Wuxue's death also spread all over the battlefield, seeing that Feng Wuxue's body was transported on a wagon, those Qin soldiers who surrendered heard this, or moved to tears, let out a cry, or silently watched it drive by, mourning for this famous veteran in their hearts.
Heifu stepped forward to take a look, but saw that the old general had been hit by many arrows, and his right hand was gone, but his face was still the same, but his eyes were round, and he couldn't close it......
Wu Chen, who was ordered to pursue and successfully brought back Feng Wuxuan's body, reported to him: "Junhou, General Feng fought to the last moment, and drove straight to the crossbow array. ”
"After General Feng's death, his personal guards guarded the body and wanted to break out, but they were still intercepted by us, and a thousand people died in battle, and none of them survived ......."
Heifu sighed: "General Feng has seen through my strategy several times, if it weren't for the incompetence of the generals, the outcome would be unpredictable." ”
The casualties of the Southern Expeditionary Army in this battle were nearly 20%, and it was the most difficult battle after the Black Husband raised his army.
The harder it is to win, the more Heifu respects his opponent.
He walked forward with the car carrying Feng Wuxue's body and said, "Now that General Feng has died on the battlefield, it can be regarded as seeking benevolence. Fighting and killing officials, and punishing short soldiers, short soldiers and generals can be described as life and death...... In this way, after cleaning up the battlefield, if there is spare manpower, the corpses of those short soldiers will be collected one by one. ”
Although Feng Wuxue is not a soldier like a son, his prestige in the army is still very high, and he has captured more than 10,000 prisoners at present, and Heifu still hopes to subdue them for his own use.
Heifu then pulled out the arrow on Feng Wuxue's body with his own hands, and took the captured and somewhat broken "Wuxin" banner, lightly covered it on Feng Wuxue's corpse, and then took a few steps back and bowed, and said loudly:
"Marquis Wuxin is a model in the army, a predecessor of Heifu, who has fought for more than 40 years, with outstanding achievements, he must do what he says, and he must believe in rewards, so he has the name of Wuxin, and Heifu has admired him for a long time."
"It's a pity that General Feng was finally bullied by the traitorous ministers, and Heifu had no choice but to hunt in Nanjun, Heifu didn't want to kill each other, so that the corpse of the strong man was on the battlefield, and he retreated several times, wanting to meet with the general and state the cause and effect. However, the general was upright and loyal, and he did not want to listen to Heifu's defense, so he had this difficulty. ”
"The two armies exchanged troops, the arrows had no eyes, and General Feng was unfortunately killed, I can't help but be weeping! Now it should not be regarded as an enemy chieftain, but should be buried with the courtesy of a prince and a prince, and thousands of soldiers should be buried with the death of a guard general! ”
Hef's words were heard throughout the battlefield, and the weeping with a little grief and indignation ceased, and this move undoubtedly won the great favor of the captives.
But at this time, a Qin general who had lost his armor and was escorted by Han Xin sneered: "The traitor actually mourned for the faithful minister, full of false benevolence and false righteousness, if General Feng knew about it, he was afraid that he would die without turning a blind eye!" ”
But it's Yang Xiong.
Heifu stopped the angry Yuan Yong and the other guards, and said with a smile:
"Captain Yang, don't come unharmed."
Although Yang Xiong was captured, he was still reluctant to salute Heifu, raised his head and said: "You are fine, Heifu, you are different from back then, and you are no longer the little tun chief who entered the camp on his knees and begged me to take you to mix military merits!" ”
"Bold!" Seeing that Yang Xiong dared to insult the prince, the soldiers pressed him to the ground and ate a mouth full of dust.
Heifu was not angry, shook his head and said, "It seems that Yang Duwei is tied too tightly." ”
Yang Xiongqiang raised his neck and scolded: "You still have to tie it tightly, otherwise if I let my hands go free, I will definitely kill you, a national thief!" ”
Yuan Yong spat at him and said: "The general of the defeated army, in order to escape for his life, actually changed into the clothes of a pawn and wanted to escape through the gap, what kind of shame is there to talk about here?" ”
Han Xin was listening, and he didn't feel anything wrong with this kind of presence, but he still bowed down with everyone and said, "Prince, please behead this bureaucracy!" ”
Heifu said: "When the old people met, they wanted to talk about the old things, but they didn't want to be like this, or that...... Passing on my military order, Yang Xiong rebelled, burned the Wuchang camp, and killed countless soldiers of the Southern Expedition, the crime was extremely evil, and he should be beheaded! ”
Yang Xiong was picked up and dragged to behead, but he still didn't forget to turn around and shout:
"It's a pity...... It's a pity that the fire wasn't big enough that day, and it didn't burn you, a thief! ”
The voice stopped abruptly, and in a few moments, Yang Xiong's bloody head had been returned.
Heifu only glanced at it, and then asked people to bring it down to show the public, and sighed secretly:
"I just don't know how many familiar faces I have to order to be executed next?"
Heifu's gaze swept to the second captured general, this person was in his thirties, but he was fully armored, but his expression was gloomy, and his gaze followed Yang Xiong's head away, and he couldn't take it back for a long time.
But it was to ride Sima Wang Peng, when he was in Anlu, Wang Fei took a chariot and rode 3,000 horses, and was defeated by the Dongmen Leopard, but today his chariot cavalry troops have caused huge casualties to the northern flank, if it were not for Heifu to send people to support in time, he almost broke through the fortress.
Heifu struck his horse over and asked, "Wang Peng, why didn't you say a word?" ”
Wang Fei lowered his head and said: "The general of the defeated army is not brave enough, I failed to follow General Feng's order to break through the fortress and cut off your banner, so there was this defeat." Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated, why do you need to say more, Wang Fei is just dead today! ”
Although he said that he was dead, Wang Peng's attitude did not seem to be so resolute, his hands were tied, and his twin strands trembled slightly.
Heifu understood, so he smiled and said: "You are the nephew of Marquis Wucheng (Wang Qian), and the old general Wang is like a division commander to me, how can I kill his people?" Spare his life and take it with him! ”
In this way, Heifu looked at the captured high-ranking generals one by one, and finally Wu Chen led a man over, who bowed down in front of Heifu's horse, paused three times, and said cautiously:
"The sin will be hard, meet the prince!"
As for how to deal with Xin Yi, just after the battle, Heifu's subordinates and staff had a debate.
Wu Chen and the others despised this man very much, thinking that he was a villain who sold for a living, and he had done something similar two years ago in the Chenxian camp, and this time he stabbed Feng Wuxuejun in the back, hastening their rout.
"In the future, if the situation is unfavorable, this villain will definitely repeat his old tricks and betray the prince, you can't stay, it's better to kill him!"
But the Li Cang who came out of Gangneung City had a different opinion.
"Not only can't this Xin Yi be killed, but he must be given a big reward!"
Li Cang expressed his opinion: "As a military general, Xin Yi should have been like Wang Peng, doing his duty to the end, and even fighting to the death like Feng Wuxuan. But because of cowardice and fear of death, he turned against the battle to help the prince. ”
"If the prince and the marquis kill him, then the Qin generals in the world will tell each other that Xin Yi turned against him anyway, but was killed by the Marquis of Wu Zhong, so he knows that there is no benefit in surrendering to the Marquis of Wu Zhong, and there is a risk of his life. In the event of a field battle, they will also be loyal to their duties, no matter how the prince surrenders, they will no longer rebel, so it will be a great disadvantage to our army. ”
"For the sake of the prince and the marquis, it is better to give Xin Yi a generous reward and respect his status, but deprive him of his soldiers, and then let Xin Yi take a high car and Zhu Wheel, galloping in the counties of Nanjun, then all the counties will tell each other: 'Xin Yi descended first and became rich'. I also heard that Feng Wuxuan had been defeated, and he would fall at the same rate, and the water would return to the sea. In this way, more than ten counties in Nanjun County, the princes and princes can all pass on the name! ”
Licang's idea won Heifu's heart, and he followed the good as a stream, and bowed: "Licang's strategy is very good." ”
This strategy is similar to the strategy of "horse bones in Qianjin City", in order to encourage the Qin generals who will fight against him in the future, they can also enthusiastically defect anyway, Heifu actually got off the horse himself, supported Xin Yi, and laughed:
"General Xin has made miraculous achievements, what is the crime? And drive with me into Gangneung! ”
……
With the decisive battle outside the city ending with the complete victory of the southern expeditionary army, the sporadic fighting inside Gangneung City has also stopped.
This is the first major city occupied by the Southern Expeditionary Army since Heifu raised his army for more than a month - compared with Jiangling City, which has more than 10,000 households and nearly 100,000 people, Linxiang? Nanchang? It doesn't add up enough to see.
"Chu Zhiyingdu, the hub of the car hits, the people's shoulders, the city and the road are abrupt, and the name is said to be fresh and the twilight clothes are ......"
This is a hundred years ago, the world's praise of Gangneung, which means that there are so many people in this metropolis, who wear new clothes in the morning and enter the city, and are crowded out at night......
The hukou here will become a continuous source of soldiers, a granary accumulated for three years, which can solve the hunger of the Southern Expeditionary Army, not to mention, as well as the political and geographical location of the lightweight weight!
"Whoever wins Jiangling gets Jianghan!"
Heifu entered the city by car from the east gate of Gangneung, and was greeted by flowers and cheers......
Inside the city gate, there is a large avenue that can accommodate five or four carriages in parallel, and thousands of Jiangling officials are kneeling on the side of the road, eating pots and wine, and welcoming the division and brigade.
A few old men with nine-foot dove-headed crutches came to see Heifu under the guidance of Licang.
Although Heifu's identity as a "Nanjun native" made them feel lucky, although there were also many Jiangling children in the Southern Expeditionary Army, after all, they were soldiers who had just finished a bloody battle, and they entered the city with murderous spirit, and the Jiangling people were a little worried.
But I saw Heifu get out of the car and step forward quickly, helping up a few old men:
"Heifu is also equivalent to half of the Gangneung people, fighting with the rebel army outside the city, disturbing the people, I wanted to go into the city to make amends to my father, brothers and brothers, how dare I turn around and bother the local elders to welcome him?"
Seeing that Heifu was so kind and treated the same county and township party as in the legend, several old men were relieved and arched their hands:
"We are all the three elders of the townships of Gangneung, and the Marquis of Changwu and Xinjun do not believe in the locals, and they connive at the mistreatment of the people of Gangneung by foreign officials, heavy taxes, and impermanence of forced labor, and we are deeply suffering. Today, I heard that the Marquis of Wu Zhong led the righteous teacher to save Jiangling from fire and water, and the people of the county were all excited, righteous anyway, and recommended us to welcome, offer a little wine, especially for the prince to wash the dust! “
As he spoke, he shuddered and handed over the drink.
Lyura nodded to Heifu, it was all arranged by him, and the wine was prepared in advance.
Heifu did not hesitate, and after taking the full drink, he held the empty bowl high.
His next repeated orders to the army made the people of Gangneung completely relieved.
But I heard Heifu say loudly: "Although Heifu has not returned for ten years, Jiangling is also like my family, the city is full of fathers and elders, and it hurts me like hurting my father and brother, women and children, and I humiliate me like insulting my sister!" ”
"Therefore, the soldiers of the Southern Expedition entered the city, and there was no crime in the autumn, if there was a person who killed a person in vain and took a stitch from the people in vain, he would be dealt with according to military law!"
