Yang Jun's surprise was sincere. Although he was ambushed by the Liao people this time and lost tens of thousands of troops, Yang Jun knew in his heart that Han Gang was not to blame. He was the one who forced him to speed up, so he didn't care.
A warning of an ambush. Moreover, according to the reports sent back, Han Gang's response was flawless, especially the fact that half of the cavalry could be saved. After the accident, the 10,000 troops could quickly withdraw from the encirclement and retreat.
Han Gang was even meritorious. Han Gang was his direct subordinate, and just now Yang Jun was saddened by the fact that he might have died in battle. Unexpectedly, he actually came back alive. This was indeed a big surprise.
Han Gang arrived at the open space in front of the Chinese army's tent with dozens of exhausted cavalrymen. They set off in the evening. They were only more than 20 miles away from the Zhou army camp, but they walked for a full day.
The second reason is that the road is difficult to travel at night, mainly because I don’t dare to wander around. After being ambushed, I always feel that there are Liao people hiding in the woods and hills everywhere, watching, so be careful and careful, and check first every step of the way.
He had to snoop around to make sure there was no danger before he dared to go on his way. The closer he got to the official road, the more cautious he became. It was not until early in the morning that he arrived at the Dazhou Military Camp.
When Yang Jun saw Han Gang and others arriving, he quickly stepped forward, his face full of joy, and he shouted: "Oh, I'm so lucky that you are still alive. I am so happy to teach you."
Han Gang stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Yang Jun, kowtowed and shouted: "The guilty general Han Gang has met Marshal Yang. He deserves to die for his humble position. He fell into an ambush by the Liao people and killed so many brothers. The guilty general has no face."
See the marshal. Ask the marshal to punish him. Han Gang is willing to take the punishment and die without any hesitation."
A group of cavalrymen also knelt down and kowtowed in apology.
Yang Jun hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and said: "Get up, get up, you are not guilty. It is the Liao people who are cunning and it is not your fault. It is good that you can come back alive. Get up quickly. Go into the big tent to talk. Someone is here.
, bring tea and food, they must be very hungry and thirsty."
Everyone followed Yang Jun into the big tent. Someone brought tea, water and dry food. After trekking all night, the group of people were really hungry and thirsty, so they immediately wolfed down the food.
Yang Jun looked at him with a smile while stroking his beard. He was very happy that Han Gang could come back alive. Han Gang was his favorite general. Although he was brave but not clever, what he lacked was a general who was indomitable and not afraid of death.
.What he needs is this kind of generals who act according to orders, not those generals who think they are smart. Even if Han Gang was ambushed by the Liao people this time, it proves that he acted in accordance with his orders.
Han Gang took a few bites, but couldn't eat any more. He drank two sips of hot tea, wiped his mouth and stood up.
Yang Jun smiled and said: "What? Are you full?"
Han Gang shook his head and sighed: "The general has no appetite, the general is incompetent, and it has caused... tens of thousands of brothers died in the battle, how can the general continue to eat."
Yang Jun nodded, patted Han Gang on the shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. This blood debt will eventually be repaid. Just come back alive. I will ask for merit and compensation for the dead soldiers."
, we must also avenge them. I will arrange it well."
Han Gang nodded and said: "General, I would like to thank the marshal for the brothers who died in the battle. The brothers did not embarrass the marshal, nor did they embarrass me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. We also made the Liao people pay the price. The brothers fought hard before they died.
, and also killed thousands of Liao dogs."
Yang Jun nodded and sighed: "Yes, I also heard the report. It is indeed heartbreaking. In such a desperate situation, it is not easy for brothers to fight bravely against the enemy. How did you escape? I thought you were the best.
He must die. I didn’t expect you to kill him after all.”
Han Gang said: "Not only are we dozens of brothers, there are nearly 400 of our brothers who escaped. However, they were all injured. Commander, this time I have to thank one person for his help. Without his help, we will never be able to save him."
The general and these four hundred brothers will definitely die."
Yang Jun was stunned and asked: "Oh? Someone saves you? Who is it?"
Han Gang nodded and said: "That's Lin Jue. When we stepped into the ambush circle, he ordered people to fire signal bombs as a warning. The Liao people were forced to launch, and the last general was able to order the following 10,000 troops to quickly stop advancing and retreat immediately.
. Otherwise, our vanguard of 20,000 cavalry will all fall into the Liao ambush. After being ambushed, the last general will be unable to retreat and will be forced to rush north and engage in a head-on battle with the Liao cavalry. At the last moment, Lin Jue and his men
He rushed out to save us. They blocked the enemy with firearms and took us to escape from the side of the mountain forest. When we arrived at a safe place, he also treated the injuries of our brothers and gave us dry food. If it weren't for Lin Jue and the others this time,
, our losses will be even more severe. Hey, speaking of it, he warned us in advance yesterday, and we shouldn’t have ignored him. If we had believed him, we wouldn’t have..."
Han Gang was talking so enthusiastically that he didn't notice that Yang Jun's face had turned ugly. When he heard that it was Lin Jue who came to the rescue, Yang Jun's face turned cold. Han Gang also?
The earworms and aphids are in the dark. Are they excited? The locusts are astonished and they are fanning the otter?/p
"Shut up...!" Yang Jun shouted in a deep voice.
Han Gang looked at Yang Jun in astonishment, and a group of cavalrymen who were eating also looked at Yang Jun in surprise, with their mouths half open in a daze.
"Marshal..." Han Gang shouted in confusion.
Yang Jun looked gloomy and said coldly: "Han Gang, don't forget who Lin Jue is. Being rescued by him is not a glorious thing. It's not worth talking about. It's not worth being grateful to him."
Han Gang frowned and said: "Marshal, although Lin Jue and the others are rebels from the imperial court, things must be settled one after another. This time he did help us and saved the lives of tens of thousands of our brothers. And yesterday he sent someone to warn us.
, and he had good intentions. It’s a pity that we didn’t believe what he said. In fact, we judged a gentleman with a villain’s heart. At least in this matter, he wanted to help us.”
Yang Jun yelled angrily: "Han Gang! I think you have been possessed. Lin Jue saved your life, so you should be grateful to him and surrender to him, right? Help us? Do you know that he has ulterior motives?"
Han Gang frowned and said in a low voice: "You have ulterior motives? I'm so stupid that I really didn't see it."
Yang Jun scolded: "Of course you can't see it, but I can see it. In fact, we have fallen into his trick. I have already figured it out. The reason why he deliberately warned me is that he knows that I will not
Will believe him. He took advantage of my psychology and knew that I would not believe what he said, so he leaked the real information to us and played a very scheming way. If he told the real information, we would definitely not believe it. Now
If it proves that his intelligence is accurate, you will all think that it is my fault. If he comes out to rescue you again, this will win over people's hearts and divide the behavior within our army. If this is not ulterior motives, what is ulterior motives?
?”
Han Gang was stunned and speechless. He originally thought that the marshal would agree with his words and would blame himself for not heeding Lin Jue's warning yesterday, but he did not expect that the marshal not only had no such intention, but actually said these words again. Lian Lin
The real information sent by Jue also turned out to be a move with ulterior motives.
"I'm asking you, Lin Jue, how many people do they have?" Yang Jun shouted.
"About a hundred people..." Han Gang said.
Yang Jun sneered and said: "There are more than a hundred people. Don't you still know the facts? What skills do they have? They dare to rescue you just because they have more than a hundred people. The Liao people have used more than 100,000 troops. Tell me,
How could they be so virtuous as to be able to rescue you from hundreds of thousands of Liao people? More than a hundred people? Even if they were afraid, they couldn't. Therefore, they must have colluded with the Liao people and deliberately allowed them to rescue you so that you could treat them badly.
Thank you. In this way, you have been fooled by Lin Jue. After gaining our trust, he can control us at will next time. Next time he will give us false information to lure our army into an unfavorable situation and put Liao
By catching us all in one fell swoop, he achieved his goal. Do you understand? Han Gang, don’t be fooled by him, you must grow your brains.”
Han Gang looked at Yang Jun blankly, his mind full of confusion. Many of the cavalrymen had expressions of realization. They were originally very grateful to Lin Jue, but now they heard what Yang Jun said.
, I suddenly felt that Lin Jue was so evil and scheming, it was so abominable.
Han Gang is upright and lacks intelligence, but that doesn't mean he has no brains. Although Yang Jun's words are quite reasonable, Han Gang has personally experienced what happened yesterday, and after thinking about it carefully, he feels that there is no doubt about it. The hundred people led by Lin Jue
It was precisely because of its small size that the rest of the team was able to sneak in through the gaps between the ambush circle and the Liao cavalry behind them. The newly opened passages in the forest, the simple wooden bridges built between the mountain ravines and ridges along the way to facilitate sneaking, and the paved narrow
The trails don't look like carefully planned routes, but rather winding and winding routes, chosen on the most difficult terrain, just to avoid encounters with the Liao people.
And the more important point is that if Lin Jue really colluded with the Liao people, there was no need for him to warn the soldiers. Because whether the Zhou soldiers believed it or not, this was a wake-up call after all. In case the Zhou soldiers
Ma believed his warning, and the army outflanked the Liao people. Could it be that the Liao people were ambushed and made dumplings. The Liao people suffered heavy losses. The Liao people sent more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to prepare the ambush carefully. Could it be that they wanted to cooperate with Lin Jue's plan?
Action, to win the trust of the Zhou people and bear the risk of paying huge casualties? This is absolutely impossible. No matter what aspect you consider, this is impossible.
After being rescued, a long conversation with Lin Jue further improved Han Gang's impression of Lin Jue. He partially agreed with what Lin Jue said, and could not see any hypocrisy in his words.
"Marshal, I feel that...this matter may not be the case. I feel that Lin Jue is not so evil and despicable, and the whole thing does not seem to be what the marshal thinks."
