Zhang Wang and others had no objection. Although their injuries had recovered well, they were no longer suitable to stay on the battlefield.
He himself is missing an arm, and two of them have sound limbs but broken hamstrings.
He is very content to survive and will live a good life after returning to Hanzhong.
Just because he is missing an arm, it doesn't mean he can't do anything.
Wang Hui and Liang Min, as well as Hu Wei and Li Chen who just came today.
The four of them all know each other. They all knew each other when they were in the wounded barracks.
There were relatively few seriously injured soldiers in the Han army, and the period of recuperation was too boring. Some played chess, mahjong, and wooden cards with each other.
Unlike the ghost soldiers, there are basically no entertainment activities, and because of the inconvenience of movement, I lie in bed every day, and at most I can get to know the ghost soldiers lying on both sides.
The four of them didn't communicate much. Although it felt a bit pity, they still followed Zhang Wang and others out of the military camp.
The four people were selected by Jia Xu. Although they also had missing parts, it did not affect their movements, and they were better than the others who were missing a leg.
Those few people still had to use crutches and hop on one foot.
Zhang Wei just sent five ghost soldiers to escort them.
There were thirty people in total, and each of them carried some dry food with them, enough to get them back to Hanzhong.
After watching them step out of the camp, some scouts returned to Yangping Pass and reported the situation to Wang Ding.
"I hope they can bear fruit."
They are all disabled people, and Wang Ding doesn’t know what they will experience after going to Hanzhong and how Zhang Lu will arrange for them.
For example, Zhang Wang, these people are originally from Hanzhong, and they will have family members to help them after they return home.
Wang Hui and the four of them went to Hanzhong, and they had to rely on themselves for everything.
Zhang Wei's military camp did not return to peace just because Wang Hui and others left.
Those ghost soldiers talked more with each other in private.
That is to say, when they were talking about the Han army and Wang Ding, they showed some vitality.
Some people believed Liang Min, but most people still thought that burning the corpse was some kind of evil magic by Wang Ding.
No one wants to fight the Han army anymore.
They were worried that after they died, their bodies would be burned by Wang Ding.
It feels ridiculous to say it.
They are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but they are afraid of their bodies being burned after death.
It’s hard to understand.
In the military camp, the situation of 30,000 ghost soldiers and the 50,000 people brought by Gao Pei are two completely different situations.
These 30,000 ghost soldiers have no intention of fighting the Han army.
As for their leader Zhang Wei, although he was not affected by Zhang Wang's words, he actually had no intention of fighting the Han army.
Say he is incompetent, say he is a fool, or say he is too timid.
After escaping from Wudu City, Zhang Wei no longer wanted to face the Han army directly.
If Zhang Lu hadn't handed this ghost soldier to him this time, he would have been more willing to return to Hanzhong with Zhang Lu.
Therefore, Zhang Wei doesn't pay much attention to the status of his ghost soldiers these days.
As long as they didn't make a big fuss, Zhang Wei ignored them and didn't let them help Gao Pei build siege equipment.
Thirty thousand ghost soldiers stay in the military camp every day, either sleeping or chatting with other people.
After watching them leave, Wang Ding would open the city gate of Yangping Pass every day and let out a few ghost soldiers who were almost recovered from their injuries.
Even for those ghost soldiers who had difficulty moving and lost both legs, to ensure that their injuries would not relapse, one or two small carts were specially obtained for them and let others push them out of the city.
At the beginning, Zhang Wei would meet the returning ghost soldiers every time, but after getting used to it, he just asked people to arrange camps for them, and he did not show up again.
Because every returning ghost soldier has almost the same rhetoric.
During this period of time, they were all being treated by the doctors of the Han army. They were not mistreated by the Han army. On the contrary, the Han army treated them very well. They ate well, slept well, and had people telling them stories.
They heard that in Chang'an, there was a waterwheel for easy irrigation, which could pump the river water to the shore without manpower.
They heard that the fields outside Chang'an City had water canals extending in all directions, which could directly transport river water to the fields. Last year's drought had no impact on them at all.
They also heard that the people of Chang'an could rent cattle from the government, and all they had to pay was to hand over 10% more grain during the harvest.
But a plowing cow can allow them to cultivate more than ten acres of fields.
From Jia Xu's mouth, they heard many beautiful stories. Every returning ghost soldier was full of yearning for Chang'an.
There were some ghost soldiers who had fled from Chang'an to Hanzhong. After hearing these stories from Jia Xu's mouth, they all wanted to move their families back to Chang'an.
If the soldiers in the Han army are disabled, they don't have to worry about surviving. They can enter the old soldier's mansion and do some simple work, and the court will always support them.
If they were not members of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, I am afraid that many of them would take the initiative to stay and not return to Hanzhong.
When these people came back, Zhang Wei sent someone to send them back.
There are not many people to escort each time, so five ghost soldiers are sent.
However, Zhang Wei would not have wanted to send anyone to escort them two hundred miles away if it weren't for these returning ghost soldiers, each of whom seemed to be missing arms and legs.
Ordinary soldiers can travel two hundred miles in one day, but these disabled ghost soldiers can only walk thirty or forty miles a day.
Wang Ding only placed ten people in total. Among the ghost soldiers who were put back later, there were no soldiers from the Han army.
More than a thousand people were released one after another.
The influence on ghost soldiers is also gradually increasing.
The ghost soldiers who were originally hostile to the Han army began to waver in their hearts.
Perhaps the Han army was indeed as good as those who returned said, but they were wrong.
Perhaps burning corpses can really prevent the plague.
I heard that none of the people captured by the Han army were mistreated.
Wang Ding represents the imperial court.
It’s not treacherous ministers like Dong Zhuo.
The indescribable emotions were conveyed by the ghosts under Zhang Wei.
……
After a month, Gao Pei finally built enough siege equipment.
He had not seen Zhang Wei for more than half a month, and this time he came to Zhang Wei's camp in person.
"General Zhang, the siege equipment has been built. I want to start siege tomorrow." Gao Pei said.
Yang Huai failed to survive the first two days. The wound on his face kept pus-producing, and he finally died screaming.
Gao Pei just buried his body outside the camp, together with the tens of thousands of dead ghost soldiers.
Zhang Weidao: "I think there is no problem. General Gao wants to attack the city, so feel free to take action. I am plundering the formation for the general."
Zhang Wei agreed immediately and did not stop Gao Pei. There was no problem in attacking the city, but his ghost soldiers would not rush in front.
