Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1364: Compensating the Ming Army

Chapter 1362: Compensating the Ming Army

 Looks like I’m going to talk to Long Qie. Zhuge Liang thought to himself.

Once Xiang Yu's identity is exposed, it will be nothing to Xiang Yu, but it will definitely be bad news for the family. However, if only Long Qie knows about it, there is still room for tact. After all, the relationship between Long Qie and Xiang Yu in Guanxi will definitely He would not take the initiative to expose Xiang Yu's identity.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang once again found Huo Qubing who was recovering from his injuries and said to him: "General Huo, Brother Yu, all the credit for this battle belongs to you. In addition, he is not allowed to be mentioned in any military reports. You must also remember that he will not be allowed to do so in the future." Mention his existence to anyone..."

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Qubing excitedly: "Why? Mr. Yu is the first to contribute in this battle, why can't he even mention his name?"

Huo Qubing's reaction was completely within Zhuge Liang's expectation. He explained unhurriedly: "This is his own request. Brother Yu is a truly hidden master. If Yuan Meng hadn't forced him too hard this time, he would have They are not even prepared to come out to help us.

Now that the war is over, he is going back to live in seclusion. He doesn't want anyone to disturb him. General Huo, do you understand? "

"I see."

The look of respect on Huo Qubing's face became even stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yu is indeed a master of the world. He regards fame, fortune and fame as nothing. Huo is far inferior."

 After dealing with Huo Qubing, Zhuge Liang approached Long Qie again, but Long Qie's reaction was beyond his expectation.

“As expected, it’s him. Who else can possess such martial arts besides him? Who else can risk his life to save me...” Long Qie said with a wry smile.

Zhuge Liang looked surprised: "General Long, do you..."

Long Qie shook his head: "I wanted to talk to him more than once along the way, but he didn't give me a chance. He just avoided me every time he saw me."

Only then did Zhuge Liang realize that it turned out that Long Qie was just suspicious and had never confirmed it. However, he took the initiative to send him to the door this time, which seemed to be a bit self-inflicted.

“General Long Qie, now that you know everything, what are you going to do?”

 “Of course I took him back.”

“Brother Xiang is living a good life now. He doesn’t want to and won’t go back to Daming again.”

 “Having a good time?”

Long Qie showed a sneer and said: "The reason why Baijia saved my brother was just to take advantage of him. How can it be good if I have to help you count the money after being sold by you?"

A trace of anger flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and then he said seriously: "General Long Qie, Brother Xiang has saved me more than once. He is also my sworn brother. I swear to you, I have never had any intention of taking advantage of him. All his Everything he did was his own will, and he volunteered to join the war this time. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Jinyang and ask him.”

Upon hearing this, the coldness on Long Qie's face subsided slightly and he said calmly: "Don't worry, if my brother really wants to retire, I won't bother him."

 “Thank you.”

Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Long Qie was determined not to cooperate, there was really nothing he could do to him. After all, Long Qie was the general of the Ming Dynasty. He took the initiative to lead the army to help this time, but Long Qie was a man who understood righteousness after all. people.

Of course, it is impossible for the 10,000 Ming cavalry brought by Long Qie to assist in the battle to carry out the task of leaving the fortress. After all, they are guest troops. If they can get out of the fortress even if they are crushed to death, they are suspected of using Yuan Meng's hand to weaken the Ming Dynasty.

Although the 10,000-strong army of cavalry failed to leave the fortress, with the dragon and this general out of the fortress, his wish has been achieved. The performance of these cavalry in this battle was not inferior to that of the Han army in the slightest, and they suffered nearly half of the casualties. Now There are less than 5,000 cavalry left, and they are staying in the Ningxia Army for repairs.

“General Long Qie, in this battle of Hetao, not a single prince in the world sent troops to come, and they all wanted to sit back and watch our Qin army and Yuan Meng fight to the death. Only Emperor Ming understood the righteousness and took the initiative to send troops to support.

On behalf of his lord and everyone in the Qin army, Kong Ming thanked the Ming army for their sacrifices. "

With that said, Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted Long Qie, and Long Qie accepted it calmly. After all, more than half of the 10,000 cavalrymen were killed and wounded, and he deserved it.

"Mr. Kong Ming, if you really want to thank me, just give me 20,000 war horses. Anyway, you have captured hundreds of thousands of war horses, and there is no shortage of war horses. Our Ming army is very poor. The cavalry has suffered such heavy losses. There are no horses to supplement." Hearing Long Qie's resentful words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, general, my lord has said that the Ming army has done a great favor to our Qin army in this battle, so even if you and I are the two armies. There is still competition, and our Qin army will never be ungrateful and let you go in vain. "

Upon hearing this, Long Qie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Nearly half of the 10,000 cavalrymen suffered casualties this time, which was a heavy casualty for the Ming army. He was really afraid that Qin Hao would turn his back and deny him any benefits. he.

“Then Qin... Qin Gong, how are you going to compensate our Ming army?”

Long Qie asked cautiously. Originally, he was going to call him "Qin Hao" directly, but he still understood the principle of taking advantage of others' short hands and being soft-spoken, so he couldn't call him by his first name.

"General Long Qie, the 10,000 Ming army has been re-equipped before the war. The weapons and armor they replaced are all Jin-style weapons and armor. Instead of taking these back, we will send you, General, another 10,000 sets of cavalry equipment."

"What?"

 Long Qie stood up with excitement on his face.

Soon after the Ming army arrived in Hetao, they changed their equipment under the leadership of Long Qie. After all, the Ming army's cavalry equipment was too crude, with nothing but horses and sabers.

It was impossible for Qin Hao to let such a miscellaneous cavalry fight against the Yuanmeng cavalry, which was the pinnacle of cavalry combat, so it was natural for the Ming army to change their uniforms to improve their combat effectiveness.

And when he saw the Jin Army cavalry-style equipment worn on the Ming Army soldiers, Long Qie had only one thought in his mind, that is, he would not be returned with these equipment even if he was killed. After all, these 10,000 complete sets of cavalry were really powerful. It's so precious.

Just the previous 10,000 pieces of cavalry equipment were enough to offset the Ming army's losses in this battle, and there was still money to be made. After all, if these 10,000 pieces of equipment were sold for money, it would definitely make a dent in the Ming army's finances. Don't be so tight. Of course, Long Qie is absolutely impossible to sell.

But in addition to the previous 10,000 pieces of equipment, Qin Hao was actually planning to send another 10,000 pieces of equipment to the Ming army, which was quite sincere.

 Long Qie only felt that this trip was worth it, but the benefits came too easily, which made Long Qie a little uneasy.

“Mr. Kong Ming, Duke Qin will not only give me cavalry but not war horses, right? Then what is the use of these equipments for me?”

 Looking at Long Qie who looked wary, Zhuge Liang laughed again.

“How could it be possible? In addition to the general’s equipment, the lord promised to give him 30,000 war horses. The general can go to the racecourse to choose horses at any time.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty suffered more than half of its casualties in this battle, so the lord agreed to let the general go to the slave army prisoner-of-war camp in Yuanmeng and randomly select prisoners of war as a source of troops to make up for the gap lost in the battle.

 In addition to these, the lord also gave many other small compensations. I have made a list below. Please see it, general. "

With that said, Zhuge Liang handed the list in his hand to Long Qie, and Long Qie just took one look at it and couldn't look away anymore.

 It’s too rich, it’s really too rich.

The Qin army could mainly rely on itself to win this battle. After all, the Ming army only lost 5,000 cavalry. That alone did not play a big role in the entire battle. The 10,000 sets of cavalry equipment alone were enough. They made up for it, but the Qin army gave so many benefits to the Ming army, which made Long Jun always feel a little unreal.

What Long Qie didn't know was that the reason why Qin Hao gave several times or even ten times the benefits was mainly to make good friends, or to bribe Long Qie.

These things will make Long Qie grateful to Qin Hao and speak good words for Qin Hao. When Long Qie returns to Ming Dynasty with these trophies, other officials of Ming Dynasty will also speak good words for Qin Hao.

What Qin Hao wants to do is to quietly eliminate the gap between himself and the Ming Dynasty, and finally achieve his goal of conquering the Ming Dynasty. These efforts now seem to be a lot, but what he will get back in the future will be a lot. A hundred times.
