Qin Huaidao sits on a white horse and wears bright silver chain mail. He is majestic and majestic, as if possessed by the God of War, and becomes the focus of the battlefield.
The voice is even more domineering and has a kind of domineering attitude, which is heart-wrenching.
Not long after, an old man rode his horse forward and stopped some distance away. It was the warrior Xun who asked with a straight face: "King of Han, you are here with your troops. Do you want to rebel?"
It is a big hat, intended to arouse the soldiers' hatred for the enemy.
However, the army remained unmoved and looked at Qin Huaidao with somewhat complicated eyes.
Qin Huaidao felt the different emotions of the imperial army and quickly signaled the Chinese army to postpone the attack. He stared at the warrior Xun and shouted: "Old man Wu, I only want to ask you one thing. Who ordered the pursuit of General Xu Shiji? Chase
Who was killed?"
"Hasn't General Xu Shiji returned to the court?" Warrior Xun denied.
"Don't admit it? Then it's your fault." Qin Huaidao was too lazy to talk nonsense. He looked around with cold eyes and raised his voice and asked: "General Xu Shiji returned to Chang'an after receiving the imperial edict, but he was ambushed halfway. If he hadn't been so lucky, he might have been buried in his grave.
The grass has grown. I promised General Xu that I would seek justice for him, but now that the warrior Xun has not protected me, I can only use force. Do you want to fight with me?"
"You are setting up a frame and trying to incriminate me." Warrior Xun shouted loudly.
Qin Huaidao had already sentenced the warrior Xun to death in his heart. There was no need to talk nonsense with a dead man. Instead, he looked at everyone and asked: "I ask you for the last time, do you want to be the enemy of this king?"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the surrounding areas.
Along with the samurai Yu came soldiers from the northern states, as well as imperial troops. However, no matter who they were, they either fought with Qin Huaidao in Goguryeo, or followed the rebellion in the north. They admired Qin Huaidao and had a family. They lived life and death together.
I don't want to be an enemy at all.
The soldiers looked at each other.
The generals also looked at each other, shaken in their hearts.
The warrior Xun did not expect that his military morale would be shattered with just one sentence, and he was horrified. What kind of prestige is this? No one in the entire Tang Dynasty can match it, not even the Holy Emperor, right?
This discovery made the warrior Xun inexplicably panicked and frightened.
At this time, a lieutenant general suddenly shouted: "King of Han, I have worked with you to quell the rebellion in the north, and I know you will never lie or deceive. General Xu is guarding the Great Wall. What a hero, but he was silenced.
We have no one to care about our lives, no one to pay our troops, and the court is unjust, so we will rebel against our mother."
"That's right, damn it, the King of Han even saved someone's life."
"The King of Han's benevolence and righteousness are worthy of death. Let's go to the King of Han."
"Let's go to the King of Han together!"
"The King of Han came to persuade us, but we don't want to fight. The King of Han is very righteous, so we can't ignore our conscience and stop fighting."
"No more fight! No more fight!"
For a time, the crowd was excited and shouted all day long.
When the warrior Yu saw this scene, his face changed drastically and he felt cold all over. He was planning a mutiny.
A mere word from one person can demoralize tens of thousands of his troops. How could the King of Han have such high prestige?
Qin Huaidao also didn't expect that his prestige in the army was so high. He thought it would be good to break down some of the soldiers' morale, but he didn't expect that the crowd was so excited that he immediately laughed.
They are all the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is best not to fight!
At this time, several generals exchanged glances and surrounded the warrior Yu. One of the lieutenant generals shouted coldly: "General Wu, go on your own. Don't force the brothers to take action."
"Do you want to rebel?" The warrior Yu Fangcun was in chaos.
The crime of rebellion is too big and no one dares to admit it.
One of them reacted quickly and sneered: "We are not rebelling, we are acting according to orders. The King of Han is a hussar general. He is the first person in our army of the Tang Dynasty. He is higher in rank than you. According to the military practice, lower ranks are more obedient."
Rank commander, let's go, don't let the brothers use force."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all agreed.
The warrior Xun knew very well that if he went up, he would die, so he quickly shouted: "Where are the personal guards?"
The personal guards were the commander's confidants, and they all drew their swords to take action.
General Zhonglang shouted: "Kill them all and defect to the King of Han."
"Kill!" Countless people responded, drawing their swords and pounced on him.
Although there are many personal guards, there are even more others. If they swarm forward, how can they stop them?
General Zhonglang rushed forward and slashed at Samurai Yu with his sword. Samurai Yu was no match for the civil servants. He was no match for General Zhonglang. In the blink of an eye, he had a knife on his neck and did not dare to move.
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Qin Huaidao didn't react for a moment.
"It's actually the other way around?" Luo Wu also said in disbelief.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you rebelling? We are not rebelling. We are acting according to orders and punishing traitorous ministers." Qin Huaidao reacted suddenly, quickly corrected his mistake and rode on his horse.
Luo Wu was worried about his safety and quickly led people to protect him.
"King of Han, the rebellious ministers and traitors have taken it. Please let the King of Han decide." General Zhonglang pushed the warrior Xun forward.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I remember you, Sima Rui, courtesy name Zixiang. You were a guerrilla general in the First World War in Goguryeo. Now you are serving as a Zhonglang General. You have been promoted very quickly." Qin Huaidao said happily.
"The King of Han still remembers the last general?" Sima Rui smiled excitedly and said quickly: "In the battle with Goguryeo, he was promoted to General Dingyuan due to his meritorious service. Later he participated in quelling the rebellion in the north and was promoted to General Zhonglang due to his meritorious service. Speaking of which, he followed
Only the King of Han had this opportunity."
"No, you fought with your own life to get it."
"Thank you, King Han, General Xu?"
"General Xu is still alive. We will discuss this matter later." Qin Huaidao said, his eyes fell on the warrior Xun, with a bit of cold murderous intent, and he asked indifferently: "Since you are unwilling to tell the mastermind behind it, what about General Xu?
Even if it is on your head, and the defense of the Great Wall is disadvantageous, allowing the Turks to move south will be a crime worthy of death."
"No, you can't kill me!" Samurai Yu panicked.
"Give you a chance to quibble."
The warrior Xun quickly said: "Winning or losing on the battlefield is a normal matter for military officers. How can we kill people because of failure? I am a second-rank official appointed by the Holy Emperor. Even if I want to kill him, I have to do it after a meeting of the three divisions. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public, not to mention my daughter.
I am so favored in the palace, how dare you kill me?"
Qin Huaidao's eyes were sharp: "You were afraid of death, so you mobilized the troops on the front line of Wuding River to protect yourself, which caused a flaw in the defense line. The Turks went south, and countless people in the north died. It would not be unfair to kill you. In addition, the Turks were defeated by my king and fled, but you didn't go.
If you pursue me but intend to kill me, you should also deserve death. As for your daughter, I’m afraid she won’t be able to protect herself.”
"What do you mean?" Warrior Xun was shocked.
"It's just a dead man, you don't need to know too much, just kill him." Qin Huaidao waved his hand.
"No, you dare? You can't kill me." Warrior Xun's face changed drastically.
"Pfft!"
Luo Wu chopped off the opponent's head with a knife and dropped it to the ground, cursing: "Hey, you really think of yourself as a person."
"Send the body to Chang'an City and hand it over to Changsun Wuji." Qin Huaidao warned.
When everyone saw a dignified second-grade man, a close relative of the country, they would kill him as soon as he asked, without any mercy. Not only were they not afraid, but they became excited. They were all soldiers, and they knew very well that only those who follow and kill decisively would lead the way.
The body was quickly taken away by Luo Wu and sent to Chang'an.
Qin Huaidao looked at General Zhonglang and asked: "Are the two old generals who assisted the warrior Xun here?"
"I went back to Chang'an early."
"How many people are there in the army?"
"There are more than 23,000 people in the imperial army, and more than 13,000 people are injured. There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine. The situation is not ideal. There are about 35,000 government soldiers, and more than 20,000 people are injured. They also need treatment. Every day.
Countless people died from injuries and pain." Sima Rui said, looking sad and angry.
When Qin Huaidao heard that there were nearly 100,000 troops, but more than 30,000 people were injured, and if they were treated, they would be an elite army, he quickly said: "Luo Wu, please send an order to the camp to send military doctors over quickly with enough medicine."
There were a thousand military doctors accompanying the army, all of whom were carefully selected. It was precisely because of the military doctors accompanying him that Qin Huaidao dared to continue fighting and the battle losses of his troops would not be too great.
Luo Wu immediately sent someone to deliver the order.
Qin Huaidao looked around the crowd and said in a louder voice: "Everyone, Changsun Wuji has two saints under house arrest. I will attack Chang'an next and ask for an explanation. If you are willing to do it with me, I will accept them all and treat them as my own."
I will treat people as normal and pay traveling expenses to those who want to leave. No injured will be left out and we will do our best to rescue them. After the injuries are healed, we will stay and go as we please. I also ask everyone to spread this arrangement throughout the army."
"Thank you, King of Han, for your great righteousness!" Everyone was overjoyed.
The news quickly spread throughout the army, and there were cheers.
When the military doctors rushed into the camp and expertly treated the wounded soldiers, cheers resounded throughout the sky.
No one wants to die, and no one wants to be abandoned. Qin Huaidao's actions instantly win everyone's recognition and trust.
When the silver was carried into the camp to be distributed to people returning home, no one came forward to collect it.
Qin Huaidao was a little moved. With a wave of his hand, he gave everyone two months of additional military pay. After all, they were all trophies taken from Tubo. He didn't feel bad. He would ask the court for them later.
As for the army, we will wait until the matter of Chang'an is settled before considering it. It is impossible to keep all of them. The old, weak, sick and disabled must be eliminated. There is no rush and no time now.
The imperial army received two months' military pay after seeing that they had done nothing. This magnanimity, courage and benevolence moved everyone and made them more determined to stay.
On the Hanzhou Army side.
Wei Zheng, Liu Hongji and others were shocked when they learned that Qin Huaidao, with only one man and one horse, could easily persuade nearly 100,000 troops to mutiny and kill the warrior Xun to surrender.
The prestige in this army is so high that it’s really scary!
