Chapter 88: The Great People's History Will Not Forget You
When Wu Ma and Liu Wenjing rushed to Dongcheng Tower, all the Yuan Mous were already there.
Li Yuan and everyone who participated in the night attack last night encouraged each other and quickly got to the point.
It turns out that he convened everyone for a meeting today for two purposes:
The first is to summarize the major phased results of last night's battle with the Turkic Fire Battalion, select models, commend the advanced, promote righteousness, and further encourage the majority of Jinyang soldiers to learn from the advanced, follow the examples, work hard, and be high-spirited to win Jinyang.
Push the military cause to a new and higher level and make greater contributions.
The second is to arrange and deploy key tasks for the next stage to ensure that all tasks are advanced in a solid and orderly manner.
After the busy day, the results of yesterday's burning night attack were roughly listed. Zhang's achievements on the list were personally stated by Li Yuan:
"In the battle last night, our officers and men shared the same hatred of the enemy and fought bravely. They killed more than 5,000 thieves, burned more than 10,000 people, destroyed more than 1,000 horses, set fire to thousands of camps, and burned all the granaries. We lost less than 500 people.
It’s a complete and exciting victory!”
The dancing horse was naturally speechless while applauding.
In the face of tens of thousands of Turks, the number of troops sent was only 3,000. In the end, they killed 15,000 enemies and injured 500 themselves. This can be regarded as another typical case in Chinese history of defeating more with less. Even the gods dare not boast like this.
Although the Jinyang army retreated calmly last night, the battlefield was over the Turkic camp. No one was idle while fighting and counting the battlefield. If there were some, they would have been beheaded by the black knife behind them.
Obviously, the numbers posted by Li Yuan are completely unreliable.
When Wu Ma was reading history in the past, he was skeptical about the battles with less to win more mentioned in the so-called official histories in various editions. One hundred thousand and two hundred thousand won six hundred thousand, eighty thousand won eight hundred thousand, and so on.
Ten thousand versus four hundred thousand turns out to be a game of pen and paper and numbers.
However, in the current situation, Wu Ma also fully understood Comrade Li Yuan. The Jinyang Army suffered heavy losses in the previous two battles, and the two generals, Wang Kangda and Xu Shixu, were still waiting for the victory in this night attack.
Blow it to the dead to boost morale.
What's more, it is said that the Turks are still reorganizing military affairs and setting up barracks outside the city. It seems that they are not planning to leave for a while, and there are many battles to be fought later.
As for the ranking of military merits for last night's night attack, Li Yuan basically decided on it after detailed discussions with Li Shimin.
The first achievement is horse dancing.
Because the night attack battle was created out of nothing, if Wu Ma hadn't suddenly proposed it and insisted on taking the enemy unprepared last night, there would never have been such a thing as a great victory.
During the night battle, Wu Ma took the lead, risking danger and sneaking into the enemy camp, and miraculously rescued the captured people. The whole plan was also planned by Wu Ma, so no one else can tell about this first achievement.
The second seat was the commander of the frontal battlefield, and Li Shimin, who undertook the powerful attack of three thousand Turkic light cavalry and stabilized the position without chaos.
Pei Ji participated in the battle bravely and fearlessly, and his troops rushed in just right to save the captured people, so he took third place in the credit.
Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji had already competed with each other before they sent out troops. They believed that they were in danger and broke into tens of thousands of enemy camps. There was no way they could fall behind Pei Ji. Unexpectedly, when they came, they were actually ranked fourth. They were so angry that they twisted their arms.
Trembling in my sleeves.
After that, Yuwen Jianxue came up, followed by Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Dou Cong and other generals leading the army.
There are some night attack soldiers who are brave enough to kill enemies on the list, so there is no need to list them all.
After Li Yuan taught Li Shimin how to recite military merits, he asked everyone for their opinions.
In fact, everyone knows that the rankings of the first few people have been determined. Li Yuan is asking for the evaluation of the lower-ranking soldiers behind him. He is not afraid of writing too many, but he is afraid that some soldiers who have bravely killed the enemy and made great achievements have not been included.
Or if you write a few less strokes, it will chill people's hearts when the military merit list is posted in the future.
Everyone finally made up the difference with each other's words.
Li Yuan was about to announce the agreement when he heard someone at the table say:
"I have an opinion."
"Hao..."
When I looked up, the person who spoke was not Liu Wenjing but the person who had contributed the most last night.
"Wu Lang, please tell me -" Li Yuan said with a smile: "If you still feel that the credit is not enough, there will be no place for you to go up."
"The plan for yesterday's night attack," Wu Ma said, "was brought up by Zhao Ren, Xuan Zhen and I perfected it, Erlang planned it thoroughly, Tang Gong made the final decision, and all the generals worked together to kill the enemy, how could I be the first to take credit?"
, so I firmly disagree with being listed at the top of the credit book."
After hearing this, everyone was a little puzzled.
"I don't want military merit,"
Liu Wenjing secretly kicked him with her foot and said in a low voice:
"Did I take the wrong medicine at my disciple's house?"
Li Shimin also said: "Wu Langjun planned everything last night and almost accomplished extraordinary feats. We all saw it, so why should we be humble?"
"When I was discussing with Shimin earlier,"
Li Yuandao: "There are still selfish reasons for listing my son as the first contributor in the night attack, but the people of the world have been telling me how you were brave and resourceful in the face of danger last night. They also said that if you are not the first contributor and the soldiers will not accept it, you can rest assured.
Just sit on the top spot."
"If that's the case, I would rather not come up with such a plan. If Tang Gong insists that I take the lead, I will not attend any future discussions." Wu Ma stood up and said with his hands.
Wu Ma knew very clearly in his mind that Li Yuan's military merits were not in vain. The more military merits he gained, the more likely he would become an official in the future.
Historically, the Turks retreated not long after staying in Jinyang. In June, Li Yuan built the General's Mansion. Pei Ji was appointed as Chief of Staff, Liu Wenjing was appointed as Sima, and Li Shimin was the Duke of Dunhuang. He led the army on the right and was in charge of the three unified armies.
If Wu Ma succeeds now, when the General's Palace is built, he might have to occupy Pei Ji or Liu Wenjing's position.
When he is in charge of his position, all kinds of government affairs are complicated and troublesome.
Dancing horses are determined to be academics, but time is precious. Where can I find the time to be a long history Sima?
What's more, military achievements are all in vain. Since ancient times, tens of thousands of generals have fought in battles, and several military merit lists have been handed down.
The most important thing is to record it in history books.
In the front, Kong Rong gave way to pears, and in the back, there was a dancing horse giving way to merit, which is enough to go down in history.
Li Yuan and others tried to persuade him, but when they saw that Wu Ma had made up his mind not to take the credit and not be ranked first, they had no choice but to remove him from the battle merit list.
As for the meritorious service of the dancing horse, it is all up to his own opinion. Part of it was given to the generals who entered the enemy camp at night wearing cassocks and came back alive. The other part was divided among Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji.
After weighing it up, it was Li Shimin who took the first place, and Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing took the second place, and everyone came up one after another.
Liu Wenjing was originally ranked behind Pei Ji, but this time she squeezed forward and danced two places, and finally she was on par with Gui Gongxia. Naturally, she was in a good mood, and she kept casting grateful glances at the dancing horse.
Pei Ji was originally ranked third, but he was very happy to be promoted to one.
He knew clearly in his heart that when it came to his actual performance last night, he did not take as much risk as Liu Wenjing. He just took advantage of dancing on a horse to save people, gained an extra skill, and benefited from the reputation of being close to Duke Tang, so he walked ahead.
.Now the two are tied for second place, and there is nothing much to say.
If one person makes a profit, everyone will be satisfied, and both the host and the guest will enjoy themselves.
After the success was determined, Li Yuan made arrangements for the follow-up matters.
Li Shimin led Sun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Dou Zong and others to guard the city gate and position the enemy outside the city waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Pei Ji and the warrior Xun prepared military resources and prepared for the establishment of the general's palace.
Liu Wenjing is responsible for comforting the captured people who entered the city last night, and if they have relatives in Jinyang, they must be properly delivered.
Everyone else also made arrangements and took their orders.
Only Liu Wenjing looked stiff and showed little interest.
Li Yuan originally planned to let Wu Ma and Li Shimin take charge of the city defense, and then work with Pei Ji to prepare for the construction of the General's Mansion. However, Wu Ma proposed to take all the troops on the grounds that Kulada in the Turkic camp was extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. He devoted his energy to studying awakening techniques to fight the enemy with law, and rejected Li Yuan's arrangements.
If Wu Ma was someone who cared about fame, Li Yuan would still have something to do with him. However, he was an outsider with a calm demeanor. Although Li Yuan wanted to make good use of his wisdom, he had no choice but to let him go.
It happened that the Jinyang Army was planning to build the Awakening Mansion, Liu Wenjing took the opportunity to decline, and Li Yuan decided to let Wu Ma study the Awakening Technique and take charge of it incidentally.
After the Wu Ma Xin Awakening Mansion was built, the experimental site and scientific research funds were secured, I painfully agreed.
The meeting dispersed, and all the conspirators gathered around the dancing horse, and they kept saying complimentary words:
"Young Dancer is so elegant and upright."
"The dancer is righteous and the sky is thin."
"The dancer is really a real man, with a high position and a big layout."
Amidst the heartfelt praise, Wu Ma said goodbye to everyone, left the East City Gate Tower, found a quiet place, took out his note, and wrote hurriedly:
"On June 21st, Yuan discussed rewards for his merits and said that if he did not immediately achieve the first merit, he would not be able to convince the public.
Ma Dao: Success depends on everyone, so what contribution can I make?
Everyone praises Bo Yuntian for his high integrity and integrity."
After I finished writing "Dancing Horses", I read it over and over again and felt that it couldn't be better written as it is concise, concise, modest and prudent.
After collecting "Suijie", Wu Ma Fang went to find Liu Wenjing who was alone and lonely at the foot of the city wall.
