"The county magistrate also asks to calm his anger, after all, several Yanai are still young, and it is inevitable to make mistakes for a while." Li Zhen, who came back to his senses, hurriedly persuaded him, for fear that the relationship between Li Jing and several protégés would become stiff, so he was busy persuading in the middle to ease up.

"It's not a mistake, it's a crime!" Li Jing's anger did not subside at all, "In the past, I treated them too indulgently, especially Li Cunxiao and Wang Tiezhang, who had never been soldiers before entering my door, and I promoted them to generals all of a sudden. They did not go through the polishing of the army, they directly became generals, fought one or two victories, and suddenly did not know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and even dared not to listen to my military orders, and dared to sacrifice indiscriminately with the brothers under their hands. This time, such a big thing happened all of a sudden, if they don't teach a good lesson, won't they have to go against the world in the future? ”

Hearing Li Jing's words here, it was difficult for the generals to persuade them anymore. At the beginning, Li Jing was indeed too fond of these four protégés. Liu Xun and Gao Siji are better, after all, before Liu Xun entered Li Jing's door, he had been the head of the family under Wang Shifan for a short time, and Gao Siji also followed his fathers to the battlefield many times. Only Wang Yanzhang and Li Cunxiao, both of whom had not been tempered by the army before, took the liberty of becoming generals, and after winning a few battles, they couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

Li Cunxiao took more than 70 people to dare to come to attack the idea of Guancheng, which was guarded by thousands of people, and even dared to enter the city with 18 horsemen to behead him, which was the consequence.

Now that such a serious thing has happened, Li Jing looks back and thinks that in fact, all this is his reason.

The army is a special place. Li Jing has always talked about the purity of the army. It is to keep the army always maintaining the system and spirit that he has formulated. A barracks. It is a melting pot, hammering the new soldiers one by one, grinding off the edges and corners of the last lyric, and becoming the standard Zhendong Army soldier should look like.

But because of the great fame in the history of Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji, and Li Cunxiao, he destroyed all these old precedents, not only rewarded them heavily, but even jumped over the rank and was directly promoted to become a general who led troops alone. It is precisely because of all these things that such a serious violation of military discipline occurred.

If Li Jing is not dealt with seriously. Li Cunxiao and others will not correct it, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and then other generals will follow the same example, and at the end of the day, military discipline will be gone. An army that has lost even military discipline can no longer be called an army.

A thousand miles of embankment, collapsed in an anthill!

Lin Wu asked, "Do you want to pursue Sha Tuobing?" ”

Li Jing shook his head: "No." ”

For Li Jing, fighting a war is not about killing people, nor is it about robbery. War is a continuation of politics, and war must have a purpose. In the service of politics. The main purpose of this dispatch of troops was to enhance the prestige of the Zhendong Army. Expand your reach. Therefore, after grasping this goal, the purpose of the war was very clear in Li Jing's plan. The first is to take advantage of the emptiness of Daibei now, first recover Daibei, and make this real military feat. And to recover Daibei, if you can't fight, you won't fight, and maintaining your strength is the best. This war is not the Zhendong Army's family, and there are six routes of soldiers and horses.

Li Jing's intention is very clear, at this stage, trying to recover Daibei without blood, mainly relying on overwhelming people with power, rather than desperately. After driving these Shatuo soldiers from Daibei to join Li Keyong's father and son, let the other six-route soldiers of the imperial court fight a war of attrition with them.

Shatuo people are not easy to fight, and Li Keyong is not an idle person. Li Jing had already decided that after the imperial court suffered a loss first, and when both sides were defeated, he would come out of the last place and win the battle.

After Li Jing received the report this time, he only brought the soldiers and horses that were originally in Zhigu Pass, and the rest of the more than 10,000 people did not have time to gather, so they came first.

After more than 5,000 soldiers took over the Taixi Pass at this time, they began to purge the remnants of the enemy in the city, pacify the people on the one hand, and clean up the battlefield to treat the wounded.

In this battle, Li Cunxiao, Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Si, succeeded the four generals, and successively participated in the battle, with a total of eight hundred elite cavalry from four capitals participating in this battle. By noon, the entire battlefield had been cleaned.

"According to the statistics of the soldiers, a total of more than 2,800 corpses of Shatuo soldiers were found, and there were more than 300 wounded Shatuo people who were not taken away, and they collectively surrendered to our army." When Guo Chengan, the secretary in charge, reported this number, he couldn't help but be surprised, and nearly 3,000 people were killed by the eight hundred people who participated in the war before and after. And this is still a battle with a small number of enemies, this kill figure, if it is not for the fact that many of these Shatuo soldiers are actually old and weak and young recruits, this can completely shock everyone.

"What about our casualties?" Li Jing was not happy about capturing the Taixi Pass and killing more than 2,000 enemies. Because this is a senseless war, and for such a war, even a big victory is meaningless.

Guo Chengan glanced at the account book on it, and said a little gloomily: "Our army participated in the war with great casualties in Sidu, 800 people in Sidu participated in the battle, and after cleaning the battlefield, there were a total of 67 people still alive, and none of them were not seriously injured. The officers suffered heavy casualties, Li Cunxiao was killed in the battle, and there were not even one of the officers at the capital and team levels. By the way, Liu Xun's flying sword has a senior soldier named Zhao Da, and he killed six people in this battle, one of which was still a battalion general of the Shatuo Army. After he killed the Shatuo general, he was stabbed in the left chest by the Shatuo soldiers. When cleaning the battlefield, I found that he still had breath, and after rescue, I found that Zhao Da's heart actually grew on the right side, although the shot was extremely heavy, but it only bleed a lot, but it was not fatal, it was just fainting at the time, and now he has picked up a life. ”

"Such a warrior will do whatever it takes to save him. These are all treasures, a soldier who has returned from a serious injury in a bloody battle, and can withstand ten newly recruited recruits. Li Jing paused, "I don't believe that Li Cunxiao died like this, this kid didn't die so easily, you can send someone to look for it carefully." ”

"County Prince, the burned town has cleaned up the mansion, and more than a dozen charred corpses have been found, the burns are so serious that they can't be identified, it is estimated that they are Li Cunxiao and them." Guo Cheng'an reported.

"Take me to see it!" Li Jing couldn't believe that Li Cunxiao, the tiger general, would die so early in a small military village.

When Li Jing, Guo Chengan and others arrived, the original town general's mansion had already become a rubble and ruins, with black smoke marks and white ashes everywhere. The ruins had been cleared, and more than a dozen corpses were placed together, all charred and black, unable to distinguish their identities.

Li Jing looked at the past one by one, and he couldn't recognize anything at all, but he always felt that Li Cunxiao was not dead.

"Is that all there are to you?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes, the county."

Li Jing frowned and let out a long sigh. He was about to turn away, but suddenly he seemed to hear a slight vibration under his feet, and he quickly stopped, but he didn't stop anything. Just when he thought he was hallucinating, he heard a very slight sound in his ears.

"Did you hear anything?" Li Jing asked.

"Nope!"

Li Jing made a gesture of forbidding his hand, and he finally heard a little more sound. Ignoring the dust on the ground, Li Jing leaned down, emptied a soldier's arrow on the ground, and listened to it. This time, Li Jing finally heard it clearly, it was an intermittent tapping sound, and it came from underground.

"There's a secret room down here, clear this place for me right away, find the exit, and rescue the people inside." Li Jing said loudly with excitement in his heart, he was sure in his heart that Li Cunxiao was down here.

At this time, other people also listened, and sure enough, many people heard the movement inside.

At that moment, many soldiers were immediately summoned, and the stones, woods, etc., from the address of the town general's mansion were removed, and the craftsmen of the military engineer battalion quickly found the entrance, which was covered by a large stone, and the floor next to it, if you did not look carefully, you could not see this at all. The cover was pried open, and an underground chamber was finally revealed.

A soldier jumped in impatiently, and then a voice of surprise immediately came: "County Lord, I found it, Li Yanei is really inside, and there are more than a dozen brothers." ”

When Li Cunxiao saw that the Shatuo soldiers who surrounded them suddenly stopped caring about the hostages in their hands and attacked hard, he knew that it was difficult to get out of trouble. In the end, a subordinate brother accidentally discovered the secret room. After the end, they thought of a plan, found more than a dozen corpses and changed into the clothes of them and Li Kexiu, and then set fire to the town general's mansion by pretending to be jade.

They hid in the secret room and had nothing to do, but the fire in the road was so big that it burned down the town at once, and the masonry and wood pressed down on the cover of the secret room, and they were trapped underneath. Originally, there was a hole in the secret room, but the hole became a fatal thing when the town general's mansion was on fire, and the smoke continued to enter the secret room, and everyone was stunned by the smoke.

Only Li Cunxiao was physically strong, and he had been half-asleep and half-awake, insisting on the last trace of clarity, and until now he heard a voice from above, so he knocked on the wall with his weapon.

One person was rescued, and Li Cunxiao and his seventeen horsemen were only unconscious, and all of them were alive. In addition, Li Keyong's three brothers, Li Kexiu, Li Kerou, and Li Kezhang, were only in a coma.

"Immediate treatment!" Seeing that Li Cunxiao was still alive, Li Jing let out a long sigh. Although he is a little reckless, he can be taught well, he is still a capable general, and if he dies in battle, it is also his Li Jing's fault.

Sixty-seven plus eighteen, eighty-five were still alive in the end, but then five more seriously wounded were not saved. There were 800 cavalry in front and back, and only 80 wounded people who lay on the bed could not move were left to die.

At this price, in exchange for 3,000 Shatuo's old and weak soldiers and a military village, many generals felt that this was a big victory, but Li Jing was bitter in his heart, this was completely a loss-making deal! (To be continued......)
