Chapter 72 Veteran, Korean
Chapter 72 Veteran, Korean
Behind each Ranger was a long list of prisoners tied with hemp ropes.
The prisoners were uniformly placed in a simple camp set up a mile outside Yinghui Gate in the east of the city, and there were heavily guarded defenders around them.
Inside the camp, the prisoners looked around in horror, worried about their life and death, and the timid even ran to the defenders to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly.
The defenders looked at the prisoners coldly. If it weren't for them, their fathers, brothers and friends would not have died.
Some even killed prisoners with guns to avenge their hatred.
On the other hand, Gu Tingye and his three thousand elite cavalry entered Chengdu City, and the military camp in Xicheng District was resting.
Gu Tingye was invited by the county magistrate Wang Shiming to the county magistrate's office.
After all, a big victory is naturally indispensable, and of course, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die.
There were countless wine and meat, and trucks of carts were pulled into the barracks to reward the soldiers who fought bloody battles.
...
Gu Tingye came to the county magistrate's mansion, bowed to Wang Shiming, and bowed: "I've seen the elders!"
Wang Shiming looked at the extremely handsome general in front of him and was very excited. If it weren't for his own life.
Wang Shiming calmed down his emotions, took a step forward, helped Gu Tingye up with both hands, and said, "General, don't have to be too polite."
Then he asked, "I don't know the general's surname?"
"Sir, the young general's surname is Gu, and his name is Tingye!"
"General Gu, if you hadn't arrived in time today, I would have been the prefect and the people of the whole city..."
Speaking of this, Wang Shiming reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Gu Tingye looked at the sad prefect in front of him and felt a little guilty. If he hadn't rescued him earlier, so many people wouldn't have died.
I soon explained to myself that the reason why I didn’t save it was that many traitors showed their public and would cause trouble if they sent troops rashly.
Of course, this guy is not a good person either. I really think he is not worried about the life and death of the people in the city...
"General Gu, let me introduce you to these adults."
Wang Shiming pointed at one person and said, "This is the King of Shu. If he hadn't taken out the money and food from the mansion, we would have stayed for so long."
Gu Tingye saluted and said, "Have you met the King of Shu?"
"Um."
Zhao Li responded coldly.
Wang Shiming was a little embarrassed and blamed him for not giving him face.
Gu Tingye was even more displeased. If it weren't for his identity as King Shu and Wang Shiming's face, he would have left long ago.
"This is Li Wen'an's 'Li Junwei'. It's up to him to defend Chengdu City this time. Otherwise, the city would be destroyed and the people would be killed soon."
Seeing that Gu Tingye was a little angry, Wang Shiming hurriedly introduced Li Wen'an to him.
Gu Tingye looked at this man differently. On the back of his leading cavalry to attack the rebels, he actually ordered the defenders to take the initiative.
From this point of view, this person's ability is not inferior to his.
Gu Tingye respects those who are capable: "I have met an adult."
Li Wen'an hurriedly replied: "General, there is no need to be too polite."
Then Wang Shiming pointed at Ye Xuan: "This is County Prince Ye. This time he can resist the rebels' siege of the city, all thanks to his ability to dispatch the city, so that the brothers who guard the city can defend the city wholeheartedly."
"I've met an adult." Gu Tingye saluted.
Ye Xuan did not dare to neglect and returned the gifts to the death.
Then introduce some unimportant subordinates and the group took their seats.
Zhao Li lives in the main seat, Wang Gu is located on Zhao's left and right hands, Li is next to Gu, and Ye is next to Wang.
The others sat on two other round tables.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Shiming picked up the wine and stood up, looked around and smiled, "Come on, let's respect General Gu a glass of wine."
Everyone picked up the wine and said in unison: "Treat, General."
Gu Tingye hurriedly picked up the wine and drank it with everyone.
At this moment, a disgusting voice sounded: "General Gu, I ask you how many people did you bring this time? Also, when will the thieves outside the city be destroyed?"
Although it is not likable, Zhao Li's words are what they want to ask.
"Three Thousand Essential Knights!"
Gu Tingye did not hide it, but answered truthfully.
This sentence made everyone explode. They originally thought that reinforcements would be foolproof when they arrived.
But now there are only three thousand people coming, what should I do?
"General Gu Gu, is three thousand people not enough?"
Wang Shiming had a knot on his tongue and said questions tremblingly.
Gu Tingye smiled and said, "Don't worry, in another four or five days, Han Shuai will arrive with his army."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone laughed and laughed.
...
Some people were happy and some were sad. Zhang Chen and his wife hid in a dilapidated village twenty miles south of the city. Thousands of coalition troops gathered around them, but they were dejected and in poor spirits.
Isn't it?
More than 100,000 people made the Song army fight and leave in panic. Can we be in good spirits?
"Dad, the meat is cooked, eat it quickly!"
Zhang Shen handed him the roasted chicken.
Zhang Rui looked at the roast chicken and said angrily: "Damn, I'm so full, what else can I eat?"
Seeing that he was still angry, Zhang Shen did not persuade him to eat on his own.
"Old Shen, what should I do now?"
Seeing that Zhang Shen was only concerned about eating it himself, Zhang Rui snatched the chicken in his hand, took a bite, and asked Chen Guang on the opposite side in a vague manner.
Zhang Shen took a helpless look, then baked it for himself.
As for Chen Guang, he was greeting Zhang Rui's family in his heart.
"well!"
"The most important thing now is to gather the defeated soldiers, and I don't know any further."
Chen Guangwei can't see hope for his future.
I originally thought of conquering Chengdu, and then using the money and food of Chengdu to fight with the court again.
Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the reinforcements from the court came so quickly.
"How about disbanding the army and living under anonymity?"
Zhang Shen took the opportunity to suggest.
As long as Zhang Rui agrees, he takes them to find his wife and hides her second uncle's house. As long as he passes the limelight, he can live a good life.
Zhang Chen and the others directly refused Zhang Shen’s suggestion.
What's more, Zhang Rui, who has experienced the best, will not give up.
Zhang Shen sighed secretly, and had no choice but to the stubborn Zhang Rui.
...
Three days later, outside Yinghui Gate in the east of the city, Wang Shiming and officials all over the world looked into the distance.
Yesterday, Gu Tingye told them that Korean style was coming.
As soon as he received this news, Wang Shiming was very excited and decided to leave the city to greet them tomorrow.
"Here, they're here."
A scream in the crowd caused panic among them, and they looked into the distance one after another.
The endless crowd came towards them at first sight.
The crowd was getting closer and closer, and the leader was an old man riding a black war horse and immediately a dressed in iron armor.
When he approached, everyone could see clearly that the old man was pale and the silver threads on his temples were scattered freely.
The old face was covered with wrinkles, like a ravine, and the bloodshot in his eyes looked even more haggard.
This person is the main general who suppressed the rebellion, the Korean style of the Han Dynasty.
