Wei Ni
Chapter 51
Chapter 51
How to deal with the captives is the problem that Xia Houhui faces now.
It is difficult to escort a prisoner three times his own size back.
Not to mention that they are now in the area controlled by Jiangdong. Escorting the prisoners will slow down the marching speed and they are easy to be chased.
According to Jiang Ban's intention, they should be taken separately outside the camp or in the mansion, and they can kill and cut off their ears and take them back to count their meritorious deeds without worrying about it.
But the cavalry urged a general of a hundred to stand up and ask Xia Houhui and Jiang Ban for permission to take the captives back.
To be precise, they wanted to take back some of the weapons in the battalion.
A hundred generals will be named Huang and Ji.
He is nearly 40 years old and has served in the military for nearly 20 years.
He is humble, brave in battle, and has a lot of military exploits. If he hadn't been hopeless for promotion because of his lack of literacy, Jiang Ban would not have been the agent of the scout battalion's military affairs.
Therefore, his prestige in the scout battalion is very high.
He used himself as an example, claiming that most of the cavalry in the scout battalion were illiterate and scumbags, and fighting with their lives was just barely enough to get food and clothing.If you want to improve the situation at home, you can only hope for the reward of the achievements.
According to the military law of the Wei State, captives are rewarded more generously than those who beheaded; the capture of military equipment and fodder is higher than the capture of enemy soldiers.
He knew that he couldn't take the food and fodder from here back home.
But he wanted to use his war horse to consign weapons such as ring head knives, bows and arrows back.
Naturally, all the cavalry walked back on foot, and escorted these captives back, that is to say, they took advantage of the trend.
And he has a way to prevent these prisoners from rioting or getting away along the way.
It is to cut them all back, and then tie them into bundles with spears, put them on the shoulders of the captives in a party of three, and tie the neck and shoulders with ropes. There is a possibility of a riot.
As for the most critical point, if the return journey is too slow, will it lead to the danger of being chased by Wu soldiers~
He thought it was impossible.
Jiangdong has always been known for its water warfare, and there are not many who dare to fight the Wei army head-on on land.
Moreover, the attack on Fuling's garrison point this time was accidental and very covert, even the own side who launched the offensive hadn't thought about it before noon, and the thief Wu's side was naturally even more unpredictable.
The most important thing is that after leaving Fuling, it is the buffer zone between Wei and Wu~
If they burn the camp now and escort the captives back at night, even if the bandit Wu Heng Jiangpu got the news, how dare they come to pursue them?
Don't worry about being outflanked by Shou Chuncheng's cavalry during the pursuit?
Therefore, without much danger, he asked Xia Houhui and Jiang Banneng to be lenient, so that he and other cavalry soldiers could take advantage of the opportunity to obtain a reward that could improve the lives of their wives and children at home.
Regarding this, Xia Houhui hesitated.
As a scout, one should abide by the principle of not being willing to fight.
The biggest advantage of the cavalry is the mobility of coming and going like the wind!
Although he knew that Huang Ji's analysis was very reasonable, he didn't want to commit the taboo of being greedy on the battlefield.
However, before he opened his mouth to say the words of refusal, Jiang Ban was actually persuaded, and then he begged him for permission, so that those cavalry soldiers could get what they wanted.
Because he had been in the army for a long time, he knew that the desolation and shortage of supplies originated from the Huainan battlefield, which also made the life of the soldiers at the bottom very difficult.
And he also felt that the return journey would not be dangerous.
It also made Xia Houhui hesitate.
If he was a chief officer who was promoted from the bottom with his military exploits, or an old soldier who had served in the army for a long time, he would sternly reject and denounce him aloud.But he is just a son of nobles who came from Luoyang, he has no experience and no military achievements, so he feels that it is hard to disobey.
In particular, his purpose in coming to the Huainan battlefield was to quickly accumulate meritorious service.
Just like taking risks this time.
As a general's son who is familiar with military books, doesn't he know that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall?
There is an example of the death of his father and brother in Hanzhong County. Doesn't he know the common sense that "supervisors should not fight personally"?
No, he knows it all!
Knowing it but still doing it is because he feels that the time is not waiting for me.
Possessing the natural advantages of being the Xiahou clan, coupled with military merits, he can rise to the top and have the right to speak in the temple.
He didn't have that much time to build up his qualifications step by step and spend ten or eight years waiting for the outbreak of war to accumulate to a high position.Because Cao Zhen is about to attack Shu, it also means that the clan generals of Cao Wei Sheji will face the hardship of no one.
He wanted to catch up with Sima Yi when he became No. 1 in the army. He would suddenly emerge and become the "clan" that the emperor Cao Rui could rely on.Only in this way, when the society is facing turmoil, Cao Wei's loyal ministers will spontaneously move closer to him and regard him as the mainstay that can support Cao Wei's society!
With his current status as a general of the Yamen, and the fact that he has just been sent to Huainan with little qualifications, if he wants to do this, he can only use extraordinary means.
Such insistence on going deep into enemy-occupied areas to take risks is for the sake of fame.
How vulgar the army is, those who are brave are respected and more likely to be supported.
But now Jiang Ban and Huang Ji's request is an opportunity for him to win people's hearts, an opportunity for all the cavalry to be willing to do their best for him in the future.
In the Huainan battlefield, the three hundred elite cavalry are willing to die, and it is really not difficult to make achievements~
After all, when Zhang Liao was so powerful in Xiaoyaojin, there were only 800 people who were willing to die~
This is where his hesitation lies.
Reason is reminding him that it is wrong to do so; but luck is constantly urging him to seize this rare opportunity.
Because once he rejects everyone's request, it is equivalent to cutting off the soldiers' money.
In the future, don't think about getting the soldiers to accompany you to your death. You will be lucky not to be criticized and slandered by them in private!
But at this moment, Jiang Ban saw Xia Houhui's expression of interest, so he added another sentence.
He claimed that he could drive back to Shouchun overnight and bring a hundred riders from the scout camp to meet them. Calculating the distance, they would be completely out of danger in at most one day.
Speaking of this, if Xia Houhui refuses again, it will be really unkind.
Therefore, everyone is happy for a while.
Jiang Ban galloped back immediately without mentioning it, Huang Ji also called the other cavalrymen to work hard to cut the captives back, search for weapons, and rush to escort them back overnight and so on.And Xia Houhui was collecting kerosene, firewood and other things, preparing to burn down the defense point of Fuling in Jiangdong before leaving.
Inevitably, after a lot of work, I was delayed for half an hour.
When Xia Houhui personally lit the camp and rode away slowly, he murmured in his heart - this place is quite far from Hengjiangpu, the thief Wu should not notice it, right?
However, on the battlefield, once a general has a lucky heart, he is often on the road to death.
Therefore, he soon ushered in a lesson.
Hengjiang Pu, Jiangdong Shuwu.
A quarter of an hour after more than ten cavalry scouts went out to search, a cavalry of more than a hundred people also slowly came out of the dock.
The person at the head is the chief official who was transferred here to serve at the beginning of the year.
He is Ding Feng, whose name is Chengyuan.
Although he came from a poor family and served under the tents of Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang and others, but because he was brave and good at fighting, he took the lead in every battle and was often able to kill the general and capture the flag.
After Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor and moved his capital, he transferred him to the front line Hengjiangpu as the chief officer because the focus of future attacks would be on Huainan.
After he took office, he also worked hard and was always ready to attack Wei.
Small matters such as today's courier who did not return after the deadline were also not taken lightly.
Instead, he sent out scouts to search, and at the same time, he planned to take his own troops to the Fuling garrison point to find out.
Yes, he felt that something might have happened to the Fuling garrison.
The reason is that after he took office, he also went to Jianye, claiming that there were only more than 400 soldiers in the Fuling garrison point, and suggested that the previous establishment of [-] people should be restored, but it was not adopted.
It was precisely because of this that he paid more attention to Fuling in his heart.
It is not surprising that upon hearing that the messenger did not return, he immediately decided to go there overnight without hesitation.
In fact, his sense of the battlefield was right.
About half an hour after he led the troops out of the camp, the scouts who had been dispatched to search the woods and valleys along the way galloped over and reported the discovery of the bodies of the three messengers.
Moreover, based on the details that the left ears of the three people were all cut off, it was asserted that this was definitely done by the scouts of the Wei army.
Wei Jun's scouts bypassed Ruxuwu and entered the rear. This kind of incident, which had never happened before, made Ding Feng firm in his guess, and immediately ordered all the troops to rush to Fuling.
As for, why didn't people go back and attract more soldiers to go together~
Jiangdong does not produce horses, and there is no organized cavalry.
In the past, the war horses seized on the battlefield and the Yunnan horses traded with the Shu Kingdom were only enough to equip the scouts and reward the brave generals to equip their own soldiers.
Calculating the time based on the distance between Hengjiangpu and Fuling, dispatching infantry to rush over will not help.
Furthermore, Ding Feng, who bravely won the Wu army, is also fearless.
Nearly three o'clock, the line was halfway.
He also ran into the scouts who had rushed to Fuling to inquire about news and were returning home at a gallop.
It also let him know the military situation that the Fuling defense point had been burned down.
If it were other Jiangdong generals who learned that the garrison point had been destroyed, they would go back and go back to the temple and prepare the army for war.
Dante Bong is different.
He fought from the bottom to the general, and questioned the scout carefully.
After he learned that the remaining fire in the burnt garrison point was still burning vigorously, and that there were not many dead bodies found inside and outside the camp, he once again urged the trilogy not to be stingy with horsepower, and to rush over in double roads.
Because he is sure that Wei Jun will not go far!
According to the bloodthirsty practice of the Wei army, there were not many corpses, so they were taken back as prisoners.
With the drag of the captives, of course they walked very slowly.
Moreover, he was originally from Lujiang, and he was very familiar with the geography of the Jianghuai area. Since the Wei army returned from Fuling, he could have an answer without thinking about which route to choose.
If you dare to cross the border to commit crimes, then you will never return!
While galloping the horse, Ding Feng's indignation also increased with the bumping of the horse's back.
