Chapter 281: Integrating the Qiang and Hu soldiers
"What's the matter?" Beigong Boyu looked at Zuo Aoran blankly and asked.
Zuo Aoran smiled heartily and said: "There are more than a hundred Qiang people, hundreds of thousands of them. Although I, Zuo Aoran, am an important official of the Han Dynasty, I do not have the authority to make hundreds of thousands of Qiang people surrender. I sincerely ask the King of Beigong
Guard Liangzhou and be the hereditary Qiang king."
"This..." Beigong Boyu said worriedly.
"King Beigong, there is no need to worry too much. Although Ran is only the general of Zhengxi, he can still speak in front of His Majesty. Although he dare not say that he can listen to every sentence, he can still listen to ten sentences.
Enter nine sentences. Ran will draft a memorial now and send it to Luoyang, the capital tomorrow, to worship King Beigong as the hereditary Qiang King and take charge of all affairs of the Qiang people."
Zuo Aoran had already said this. If Beigong Boyu insisted on seeking death again, he would be disrespectful. Beigong Boyu returned the sword to its sheath, turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Zuo Aoran and said:
"The Qiang King Beigong Boyu descended to the Han Dynasty to clear up the chaos in Pingxi, the vanguard of the front official seal, Zuo Aoran!"
"Your Majesty..." Ke Wu wanted to say something more, but after opening his mouth, he still didn't say anything.
Zuo Aoran immediately helped Beigong Boyu up and said: "King Beigong, there is no need to be polite, from now on we will be ministers of the same palace." Then he turned to Ke Wu and asked: "Chief Ke Wu, are you willing to surrender?"
Ke Wu kept his body still and said stubbornly: "I, Ke Wu, will not surrender!"
Zuo Aoran shook his head secretly and said to himself: "What a fool! What a fool!" He waved his hand and said to the soldiers: "Here comes someone, arrest him first."
"Yes!" The soldiers tied up Ke and Wu and his son and took them away.
"Order to withdraw the troops and return to the camp." Zuo Aoran, walking side by side with Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Bian Zhang, said: "King Beigong, there are tens of thousands of troops and horses in Jincheng now, and Ran still has to trouble you two.
Go and take a trip, record the troops and horses of Jincheng, and wait for Ran's reorganization."
Beigong Boyu immediately raised his hands and said: "General Guilty, Beigong Boyu accepts the order and asks the lord to send troops to accompany him."
Zuo Aoran looked up to the sky and laughed, looked at Beigong Boyu, and said, "Just you and Wenhou go together! I don't need to send troops to go with you. I believe in the character of you two." Although Zuo Aoran didn't understand it.
Beigong Boyu is a person who is said to be suspicious of others but not suspicious of others. Just based on these words, Zuo Aoran will believe in everyone's sincerity.
Obviously Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are both kind of loyal people. After hearing Zuo Aoran's words, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou showed a trace of respect on their faces for a moment, which was respect from the bottom of their hearts.
, At that time, Zuo Aoran knew clearly that Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou had become truly their own people.
The two of them shouted deeply: "Lord!"
Zuo Aoran smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "Go, go back quickly, I will wait for you in the army."
"Yes, lord, the two of us will definitely live up to lord's wishes." The two of them obeyed the order and left.
Zuo Aoran felt so beautiful! He gained several more generals, and saw his bravery and depth from Li Wenhou's back. At this moment, Zuo Aoran suddenly thought of Ke Wu and his son Ye Wenlang.
Just wait! I have a way to make you and your son surrender.
After leading an army of 20,000 to defeat Beigong Boyu's army of 200,000, with a huge aura of victory, he returned to the camp, raised his tent, and summarized the battle. Looking at the generals, Jiang Yiqu was the only one missing. Zuo Aoran's heart tightened, and he said to himself: "
What? Is it possible..." Zuo Aoran walked up to brothers Ali Tuotong and Ali Tuotie and asked, "Where is Jiang Yiqu?"
The two brothers Ali Tuotong and Ali Tuotie were startled by Zuo Aoran's sudden question, and then a warmth rose in their hearts. Zuo Aoran knew that there was warmth in the hearts of every soldier at that time. Ali
Tuotong raised his head and said: "My lord, don't worry, General Jiang is fine. He was just shot by an arrow from a stray arrow. He will be fine in a few days."
After hearing these words, Zuo Aoran took a long breath and said: "Fortunately, he is not dead! I tell you, none of you can die now, and none of you can die without my order! You heard me
No, if someone dies so early, I will kill his whole family."
After listening to Zuo Aoran's reprimand, all the generals knelt down in front of Zuo Aoran and called out: "Lord!"
Looking at the group of brothers who were going through life and death in front of him, Zuo Aoran's eyes became moist and he said: "Get up, get up, get up for me." As he said this, he helped them up one by one and pressed them down.
On your own seat.
"Yuan Hao, tell me the results of this battle." Zuo Aoran asked.
Tian Feng stood up and said to the generals: "In the battle of Hulu Valley, our army killed more than 75,000 enemy people, captured more than 58,000 people, routed nearly 70,000 people, and killed the enemy's general Guo Guo.
Tai, Qiang Duan, the generals Hu Cai, Mo Zhe'er, Mo Zhe Sa, the four generals of Yue Ji, Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou, Cheliji and others surrendered, and Kewu and his son were found in prison."
Listening to Tian Feng's return, Zuo Aoran couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. What a huge victory! Then he asked: "Yuan Hao, what are the losses of our army?"
"Our army suffered more than 13,000 casualties, including more than 6,000 troops and horses in our headquarters. Except for Jiang Yiqu, who was slightly injured, all our generals were not seriously injured," Tian Fenghui reported.
Zuo Aoran's heart bleeds after hearing the loss of 6,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters. Every warrior trained on Qinglong Mountain was trained by Zuo Aoran. They are all his own hard work and heart flesh!
Zuo Aoran took a deep breath and said: "Yuan Hao, go and find me the list of every fallen soldier. I want to set up an altar for them."
"Yes!" Tian Feng promised.
Zuo Aoran immediately turned to the generals and said: "Let's go, brothers, bid farewell to our dead brothers. After returning in triumph, we will send their ashes to the Soul Sacrifice Pavilion on Qipan Mountain!"
Outside the big tent, the mourning hall, memorial tablets, sacrifices, etc. were all prepared. Zuo Aoran hung up the white gauze, knelt in front of the memorial tablet, and said: "Alas, brothers, you have a good journey, I, Zuo Aoran, will give it to you."
Here comes the farewell." Then he said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao, read out the list of fallen soldiers."
Tian Feng held a long list and read aloud: "Our fallen soldiers, Chen Xi, Ma Xiang, Guodong, Han Li, Dong Yan... a total of 6,093 people." Tian Feng listened.
After the announcement, Zhang Wen's soldiers couldn't help but cover their faces and sob, because they envied the honor of the fallen soldiers under Zuo Aoran's command. Maybe they never thought that being a soldier could enjoy such an honor. More than 50,000 soldiers
The prisoners of the Qiang and Hu coalition forces looked at Zuo Aoran and cried bitterly for the soldiers, and they bowed their heads deeply in their hearts to express their condolences.
There were two other people. Zuo Aoran's actions deeply moved those two people. Ke Wu! Standing behind the generals, looking at Zuo Aoran and the others with blurred eyes, Tian Feng finished reporting the list of fallen soldiers under his command.
, Zuo Aoran stood up and said to the crowd: "Brothers, within the four seas are all the kingdoms. We are all brothers. In this battle, nearly 100,000 soldiers were killed on both sides. All the soldiers obeyed the order and fought for
The enemy's fallen soldiers observed a moment of silence and collected their bodies."
Shocked! Not only the more than 50,000 prisoners of the Qiang-Hu coalition were shocked, but also Ke Wu and his son Ye Wenlang. From ancient times to the present, no victor would do anything for those who rebelled against him.
Mourning, never before!
As a person in a modern civilized society, Zuo Aoran set a precedent. The corners of Ke Wu's eyes were moist, and Ye Wenlang's eyes were also moist. Zuo Aoran turned around, held Ke Wu's arm, and said: "
Chief Ke, come, let us pray together for the fallen soldiers."
Ke Wu did not refuse Zuo Aoran's sincere invitation. Ke Wu followed Zuo Aoran to the memorial tablet. Zuo Aoran bowed deeply to express Zuo Aoran's condolences to the dead soldiers. More than two thousand Zuo Aoran
The soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion, more than 3,000 soldiers under Zhang Wen's command, and more than 50,000 Qiang and Hu coalition prisoners burst into tears. The war brought this group of people together, and it was the war that put their lives on the line.
No one took their lives seriously, but Zuo Aoran was the first, so they shed tears.
Although the mourning meeting was short, Zuo Aoran won the hearts of more than 60,000 people. Zuo Aoran then said to Ke Wu: "Chief Ke, the sacrifice has been closed. I will let you go back. I hope you will not rebel again."
, you go." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Report~~~" Suddenly, Yuanmen Primary School came to report: "General Qi, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou said that the troops of Jincheng have come to accept the surrender."
"Oh, Boyu and Marquis Wen are here, great!" Zuo Aoran excitedly held the principal's shoulders and said, "Quick! Quick! Lead the way."
With the primary school leading the way, Zuo Aoran went out to greet them personally. As soon as they entered the camp, Zuo Aoran saw Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. He laughed and said, "Boyu, Wenhou, you two have worked hard."
When Beigong Boyu and Marquis Li Wen saw that Zuo Aoran actually came out of the camp gate to greet him, they felt warm in their hearts. They turned over and dismounted and worshiped: "My lord, Marquis Wen and I have fulfilled our mission and said that the garrison of Jincheng has come to surrender."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Zuo Aoran said hello three times in a row, and then said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao! Prepare a banquet to celebrate the victory."
The faces of all the generals were full of joy, yes! It’s time to rejoice. There are about 30,000 defenders of the Qiang and Hu coalition forces in Jincheng. If they want to fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat them with the few men and horses under their command.
of!
At the celebration banquet, Zuo Aoran raised his wine glass and said: "The surrender of Jincheng is all due to Beigong Boyu and the two generals Li Wenhou. On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to offer a glass to General Beigong and General Li. General Beigong and General Li, please."
Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou took the wine glasses with tears in their eyes and said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord!"
"Come on, Chief Ke, I want to toast you a toast," Zuo Aoran said, holding up his wine glass.
In an instant, Ke Wu stayed aside. Normally, the captured generals were imprisoned in cells and had no chance to sit at the same table with the victorious army, let alone receive the honor of being toasted by the coach. Ke Wu suddenly stood up.
The figure walked up to Zuo Aoran, and with a "plop", he knelt down in front of Zuo Aoran, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, half-tilted his head and neck, and called out: "Lord!"
"You...you...what did you call me? Chief Ke, please say it again." He was extremely excited and said in disbelief.
Ke Wu repeatedly called Zuo Aoran: "My lord, I am late in returning and surrendering. Please punish me. I am willing to serve the general as a horse in front and behind, and do the work of a dog and a horse."
Zuo Aoran heard it right, really! Zuo Aoran really heard it right, Ke Wu was willing to surrender. Zuo Aoran quickly helped Ke Wu up and said happily: "General Ke, please get up quickly, please get up quickly.
.”
"Haha... My acquisition of General Ke is like the Emperor Gaozu's acquisition of Fan Kuai." Zuo Aoran said with a smile.
All the generals raised their hands and said in congratulations: "Congratulations to my ninth brother, Lord, for gaining another general."
