Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 72 Aftermath of the war
It was only when the young marshal approached within a hundred paces that Qin Jun realized that the situation was not good, and the troops in each village sounded the gong to remind the flag formation that the danger was approaching. , requesting the flag array to issue a flag to direct the response as soon as possible.

But it's a pity, of course, there was no reply from the Qin army's flag array. At the same time, the Qin army officers and soldiers who had boarded the ship also followed Chao Zhi's latest order, and disembarked in confusion, crowded on the temporary pier in a mess, watching helplessly. Watching the main brigade of the Young Marshal's Army gradually approaching.

It can be regarded as the luck of the Qin army. In order to facilitate the recruitment and recruitment of the Qin army, Xiang Kang also issued a strict order, requiring the crossbowmen of the young marshal not to shoot arrows first. Even if the Shuaijun's mob was just a round of salvo, the Qin army would have suffered heavy casualties.At the same time, the Qin army's flag array never sent a signal to the Qin army's soldiers to shoot arrows. As a result, the two armies were still and moved, and the distance between them kept getting closer to each other, but they didn't shoot a crossbow or shoot an arrow at each other.

When he was only [-] paces away from the Qin army, Xiang Kang finally gave the order for a general attack. When the drums were beating, the mob of the Young Marshal Army charged forward, shouting the slogan of surrender and not killing. The squadrons of the Qin Army who had already opened a large distance from each other, the generals of the Qin Army panicked, and finally some people couldn't resist the fear in their hearts, and released arrows without receiving orders. However, the Qin Army just started to release arrows by themselves. The crossbowmen of the Young Marshal Army, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately fired their crossbows in disorder, killing and wounding countless soldiers of the Qin Army, causing confusion among the troops of the Qin Army.

Without any suspense, in the face of the enemy who disbanded the army on their own, no matter what kind of mob the young generals and soldiers could rush towards the enemy like a tide, quickly encircling the small troops of the Qin army one by one.At the same time, Chao Zhi, the leader of the Qin Army who had already rebelled, also wanted to see him, and loudly ordered the soldiers of the Qin Army on the pier to put down their weapons and surrender. Let the Qin army put down their weapons and surrender to the soldiers of the young commander.

Considering that the Qin army was completely in chaos, many soldiers of the Qin army reflexively put down their weapons and prepared to surrender because of Chao Zhi's remaining prestige; From the commander's order; there are also some quick-reacting soldiers who quickly came to their senses, knowing that the situation was not good, they either jumped on the boat and took the boat to escape for their lives, or fled in all directions.At the same time, Chao Zhi also ordered his own soldiers to put down the army flag and the commander-in-chief flag, voluntarily relinquished command, and also helped the young commander-in-chief to beat the morale of the Qin army.

The enemy has tied their hands and feet to this point. If the young commander can't win this battle, they should just buy a piece of tofu and kill them collectively. Amidst the cheers of extreme excitement, the soldiers of the young commander shouted loudly that they would not surrender While wielding weapons to force the surrounded enemies to surrender, although many people in the Qin army chose to resist, they still couldn't stand up to the young commander's eight punches, and those who left the queue were quickly killed and hid in the queue. Because his companions were in chaos and lacked cover, the one in Li was also quickly chopped down and chopped down.And more Qin troops chose to put down their weapons and surrender because of being outnumbered and low in morale. The connection between the Qin army garrisons.

As soon as the Young Commander-in-Chief was in front of him, Chao Zhi immediately led his troops to raise their hands and surrendered. After seeing the main general take the lead in surrendering, the Qin army on the pier behind them lost their determination to resist, and most of them followed suit. , and Chao Zhi abandoned their weapons and surrendered, only a handful of people jumped on the boat and fled to the west bank of Surabaya.The soldiers of the Young Marshal marched forward triumphantly, rushing to the pier to snatch the ships as quickly as possible, while capturing a large number of soldiers of the Qin army, they also captured a lot of food, grass and luggage that the Qin army had no time to transfer to the west bank.

The rest of the war is still based on massacre and capture of prisoners, but the victory has been decided, and Xiang Kang is not interested in caring about how to end it. The first thing I did was to send someone to invite Chao Zhi with his hands tied up in front of him, and while dismounting from his horse, he untied Chao Zhi himself, while apologizing repeatedly: "Brother Chao, don't blame me, the people below are ignorant and don't know your determination to abandon the dark and turn to the bright And kindness, I also tied you up, and I blamed me for not being able to explain clearly, if I offended, I hope you will forgive me."

He hurriedly untied Chao Zhi, and Xiang Kang clasped his fists to Chao Zhi again, and said sincerely: "Brother Chao, regarding the matter of Mrs. Qiu, the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous niece, I must apologize to you face to face, little brother. In order to persuade you You surrendered, and without your consent, you quietly sent people to meet them under your banner. Now the people below may not be doing their best. Not only did they fail to bring Mrs. Qiu and your eldest brother, your children, but they also killed them. Being in a dangerous situation is all my younger brother's crime. I will not forgive my crime, younger brother, please punish me."

After all, Xiang Kang put on a show and knelt down to apologize to Chao Zhi. Chao Zhi, who had no way out, of course hurried to hold Xiang Kang by his arms, and said repeatedly: "Young commander, it's too much, too much, You sent people to pick up my family out of good intentions, and it was out of love for the criminal, how can the criminal blame you?"

Holding Xiang Kang by force, Chao Zhi turned around and knelt down to Xiang Kang, cupped his fists and said, "Young Commander Xiang, the guilty general Chao Zhi was a slave to a tiger, and he dared to join forces with the Tyrant Qin army from Tong County to attack you, sir. Shuai not only did not blame you, but also sent envoys twice to recruit the guilty generals. The guilty generals will not be rewarded. They can only help the young general to win a small victory. The guilty general is willing to surrender. If the young general does not give up, the guilty general will be willing Apologize for the young marshal's service, go through fire and water, and swear that there will be no two hearts."

Xiang Kang laughed heartily, quickly picked up Chao Zhi, and said with a smile: "General Chao, it's really great that you are willing to surrender, you know? Every time I see the strict formation of your army, I envy you." I have to drool, I will entrust you with my army drills in the future, please help me to train the army well, so that my soldiers can be like your soldiers, deploying troops in formation as quickly as the wind, Xu Rulin, no Move like a mountain!"

Knowing that Xiang Kang meant that he would reuse him, Chao Zhi immediately expressed his gratitude, and Xiang Kang comforted him: "Also, don't worry, brother, I will try to rescue Mrs. Qiu and your children as soon as possible. No matter what method, I will definitely try my best to rescue them and let them reunite with you."

Chao Zhi's expression was a little weird, he thanked him first, and then he said through gritted teeth: "Young Marshal, if one day, you can really catch that bitch from my family, you will have only one request for crime, that is, to hand over that bitch to you." Me, let me clean her up with my own hands!"

"What do you mean, big brother?"

Xiang Kang, who has a relatively innocent personality, didn't recover for a while, and blurted out a question about Chao Zhi's sadness.But fortunately, Chao Zhi knew that it was Xiang Kang's unintentional mistake, so he didn't take it to heart, he just said: "Young commander, the sinner's family is ugly, and the sinner is really shameless to reveal himself, you can ask the county magistrate for details." Send Zheng Lun, the chief officer who was sent to deceive me, the criminal general has already arrested him just now, as a meeting gift, please deal with it."

After finishing speaking, Chao Zhi really asked Xiang Kang's personal soldiers to escort Zheng Lun, who was tied up all over his body, and Xiang Kang also understood that there must be some reason for it, and it must have something to do with Chao Zhi's family shame and face, so Xiang Kang didn't After hesitating, he immediately shouted: "Those who dare to frame General Chao, why do they keep them? Kill them!"

"Young Commander, spare your life, Young Commander, spare your life!"

Zheng Lun was out of his wits, and hurriedly yelled and begged for mercy, but Xiang Kang's soldiers ignored him. They just pushed him to his knees and brought an ax to chop off his head.Zheng Lun, who was about to die, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and suddenly had an idea, and quickly changed his words and shouted: "Young commander, don't kill me, I have important military information to report to you, and Sishui County Important military information related to the military is also very important to you, please give criminals a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for their sins!"

"An important military situation related to the army of Sishui County?" Xiang Kang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously shouted: "Wait a minute!"

The soldiers stopped according to the order, but Xiang Kang did not rush to ask Zheng Lun, but turned to Chao Zhi who was next to him and asked, "General Chao, if the military situation Zheng Lun explained is really important, can you leave him a note?" Life."

"Young Marshal, please decide yourself, the guilty general has no personal grievances with him."

Chao Zhi replied straightforwardly, Xiang Kang nodded, and then turned to Zheng Lun and said, "Tell me, what is the important military situation, if it is really important to me, I can spare your life."

"Thank you, Young Marshal, thank you, Young Marshal." Zheng Lun nodded quickly, and then said tremblingly: "Young Marshal Xiang, the culprit only learned of the important news yesterday morning, and the army from Sishui County will definitely come in a short time. Not only can you not come to Xiangxiang, but you can't even send troops to reinforce places such as Quli, Tongxian and Xuxian. So, young commander, your army is in the southeast of Sishui County. There is no opponent in the world, is this important military situation enough to exchange the lives of criminals?"

Blinking his eyes, Xiang Kang blurted out and asked, "Why? The army of Sishui County, why can't they come to the Prime Minister's side in a short time?"

"Because there is also a rebellion in Qixian County, Sishui County... Oh no, there is also an anti-Qin rebel army." Zheng Lun said with a sad face: "The leader is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. First they captured the county seat of Qixian County, and then sent a general named Ge Ying to take down Zhixian County. Zhixian County is only two hundred miles away from the county magistrate of Sishui County. Deal with that rebel army first, take back Zhi County and Qi County, then there is no way to come to Xiangxiang immediately."

Before Zheng Lun finished speaking, Xiang Kang clenched his fists tightly, his heart fluctuated, and he was so excited that he almost wanted to yell. He never thought that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already made a move and they were so loyal, besieging Wei and saving Mr. Zhao Hitting Zhixian County, which borders Zhixiang County, Sishui County, shared the huge pressure for himself.And after finally forcing himself to calm down, Xiang Kang also nodded and said, "Okay, I will spare your life for now, and let me interrogate you carefully later."

At this time, the battle on the ferry battlefield was almost coming to an end. Most of the leaderless Qin army chose to lay down their weapons and surrender, and a few rebels were quickly wiped out by the young commanders. Afterwards, the officers and men of the Young Marshal quickly crossed the river again and seized the ordnance and equipment transported across the river by the Qin army almost intact.And after the preliminary statistics of the battle results were sent to Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang was so happy that he jumped three feet high-he even captured more than 700 Qin army prisoners!Most of them were prisoners of the Qin army who voluntarily put down their weapons and surrendered!

"Go back to the city! Let's have a celebration banquet! Tonight, let's have a drink!"

Xiang Kang, who is actually very stingy and stingy in his bones, finally gave a generous hand. After leading the beaming army back to the city triumphantly with the spoils of war, Xiang Kang first arranged for Xiang Sheng to lead the army to repair a prisoner-of-war camp outside the city, and temporarily settled the prisoners for collection. Then he immediately ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep to reward the three armies, and held a grand celebration banquet in Xiaxiang County Temple, and invited Chao Zhi, who was quite capable in military training, to sit at the chief seat and have fun with his old and new subordinates.

It’s hard to clean up all the Qin troops outside the city. These days, because of the huge mental pressure, Xiang Kang has not slept well these days. After Xiang Kang finally relaxed, of course he had a drink with everyone, and was directly drunk by the elated Xiang family’s children drunk.But fortunately, no matter how drunk he was, Xiang Kang never forgot to arrange for the Xiang family's children to lead the army to strictly control the city defenses and key points in the city, and also arranged for special troops to guard the prisoner-of-war camps, and went up to the city to patrol after dark After a lap, I went back to my own residence to rest. Once I lay down, I didn't know anything about personnel.

Drowsy, Xiang Kang found that someone seemed to be wiping his face with a brocade handkerchief, and it felt soft to the touch, and it seemed to be a soft and smooth little hand. Xiang Kang also laughed lewdly in his sleep, He said vaguely: "Come on, concubine, let brother-in-law kiss again."

The soft little hands suddenly became a little stiff, but Xiang Kang didn't notice it. He just murmured the name of Yu Ji's little girl and fell asleep again.In the darkness, there was a faint sigh of resentment.

Still fell asleep until dawn, and when he opened his eyes, Xiang Kang found that his fiancée Yu Miaoge was taking a nap on the desk in the room, but because he was too drunk, Xiang Kang remembered what happened last night. He completely forgot all about it, and sat down next to his fiancée with the utmost brazenness, and suddenly opened his arms to hug Yu Miaoge. Angrily said: "Just woke up like this, are you ashamed?"

"We're going to be officially married soon, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Xiang Kang smiled hippie, and wanted to kiss Yu Miaoge forcefully again, but Yu Miaoge resolutely pushed him away and forced Xiang Kang to drink the hangover soup he made himself immediately, and then said softly: "Several groups of people have come to look for you. Before you woke up, you went to the front and waited again, wash your face and comb your hair and go to your official business, our business, we will talk about it later."

Xiang Kang reluctantly agreed, and said casually when Yu Miaoge was washing his face, "Miaoge, there is something you don't mind, I'm afraid our matter will be delayed. The county army will not be able to show up in a short time. If the news is true, I plan to personally lead the troops to attack Qulu, Tong County and Xu County. I will take this opportunity to quickly expand the territory and expand the army. After the county army arrives, we will be sure to deal with them. But once I go, I don’t know when I will come back, and our marriage may have to be delayed.”

It was rare for Yu Miaoge not to agree to Xiang Kang's obedience. After hesitating for a while, Yu Miaoge asked back: "You must go in person?"

"No way, no one can use it." Xiang Kang said very helplessly: "The newly surrendered Chao Zhi, as well as Feng Zhong and Zhou Zeng, are still afraid to let them go. My brothers can only use it." Brute force, telling them to take the army to attack the city, I am not at ease, so I have to go."

Yu Miaoge was still unwilling to accept Xiang Kang's arrangement. When combing Xiang Kang's hair, Yu Miaoge said softly, "I want to go with you. I don't worry if there are no careful people outside to serve you."

"Miao Ge, I can't promise you this." It was also rare for Xiang Kang to refuse his fiancée's request, and said, "It's too inconvenient. The army is full of men. It's really inconvenient for you to go with a girl."

Gently combing Xiang Kang's hair, Yu Miaoge suddenly said: "Then, how about I go with my little sister? We two sisters are companions, we can take care of each other, and we can also take care of your daily life together."

Xiang Kang turned his head in surprise, and saw that although Yu Miaoge had a gentle expression, his beautiful eyes were fixed on his own, as if he was carefully observing his expression and reaction. Xiang Kang, who had already stolen his sister-in-law, couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and hurriedly shook his head again Said: "It still doesn't work, the Great Chu Rebel Army has just started. As the general of the whole army, I take two girls to eat and live together in the barracks, which will affect the morale of the army."

Yu Miaoge did not speak, because Yu Miaoge had already keenly discovered that Xiang Kang did not refuse to let Yu Concubine be by his side at all times.But fortunately, Yu Miaoge's biggest advantage is his gentle and reasonable personality. Knowing that Xiang Kang has just started, he didn't want to drag Xiang Kang too much, so he forcibly held back the tears that were already about to burst out, nodded, and his voice With some difficulty, he said: "Forget it, I'll wait here for you to come back."

Yu Miaoge's reluctant expression also did not escape Xiang Kang's eyes. Although he didn't know the reason, Xiang Kang became more and more guilty, and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange reliable people and reliable troops to stay behind. And the safety of my little sister will be fine."

Yu Miaoge reluctantly nodded and stopped talking. Xiang Kang felt even more guilty and guilty, and didn't know how to continue communicating with his fiancee.It's still okay, but at this moment, Xiang It's voice came from outside the door in time, saying: "Uncle Ji, Han Li is here. He is the Han Li who has been contacting the third uncle for us. He went to the gate of the county temple to ask for an audience. He said he wanted to meet you, but I already had someone invite him in, when will you see him?"

"Why is Han Li here?" Xiang Kang was still a little confused at first, but after a little calculation, Xiang Kang soon realized, secretly said: "He came to inquire about my situation here, the peach pickers are coming soon. "

It was precisely because he knew that Han Li was here to take the lead for his shameless third uncle, Xiang Kang suddenly felt a little worried. He didn't know if his brazen third uncle really came to put on airs and force him to hand over the military power to him. Give it to him, let him be the boss of the Young Marshal, how should he deal with it?
