Lord of the House

Vol 5 Chapter 36: Capture and reward knife

At dawn, the local battle in the southwest of Wang Dengtai Mountain was coming to an end. Except for a small number of captives who rushed out of the encirclement and fled, most of them were annihilated.

Although the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers had various shortcomings, they were basically able to fight heroically and play a huge role in this battle.

The general Xiao, Zhou Tong, deputy lieutenant of Zhenwei from the Jinzhong Admiral's House, led 300 elite soldiers to cover their bodies with white cloth and cover their bodies. , which directly disrupted the formation of the captive cavalry. Yang Yihang and Ma Yikong fought bravely with a small number of fine cavalry from both wings, creating conditions for the Jiangdong Zuo Army infantry to arrive in time to encircle the captives in a large area.

In the snowy night on the moonlit night, the remnants of the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the Jinzhong Army have two sentry fires at Wangdengtai Mountain and Wukou Village to indicate their direction, so it is not easy to get lost. Often rushing out of the encirclement, losing the direction, and crashing into the encirclement again.

At dawn, in addition to all the cavalry being scattered to guard the battlefield and clearing up small groups of remaining enemies, all the infantrymen gathered in the direction of Wangdengtai Mountain. Lin Mengde also sent all the auxiliary soldiers of the Gongyi battalion to clear the battlefield, and asked Lin Bing to general. Some of the cavalry were assigned to him to collect the horses that were everywhere.

Most of the horses outside the mouth that can be used as military horses are mild-mannered. The entire southern part of Jinhai is full of stray horses, and people do not run away when approached. Often, an auxiliary soldier leads ten or eight horses back. Lin Mengde It is estimated that there will be three or four thousand horses captured in this battle. What he has trouble with now is that raising a military horse requires two to three times as much grain and fodder as ordinary soldiers. So many military horses are simply not enough for Jiangdong Zuojun.

Lin Fushi set up a simple shelter on the top of Wang Dengtai Mountain as a command post on the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves galloped like thunder, and dozens of horses came up the mountain. Ning Zechen, Ma Yigong and Zhou Tong were the leaders. The three walked on a white horse. man. Riding to the command shed, Ning Zechen, Ma Yigong, and Zhou Tong dismounted from their horses, released the captured man from the horse's back, and threw them to the command shed. Ning Zechen said loudly, "Commander Cao told me to wait. Come and report the victory to the lords, the captured thief chiefs and vice-captains have the same name, one silver plaque, one battle halberd, and one battle sword, please examine your lords!"

"Okay," Lin Fu stood up and pressed his saber, looked up at the half-dead and blood-soaked body in front of the command shed, and asked loudly, "Whoever captured the chief, who has the most outstanding military exploits, report it to him loudly. The whole army listens..."

"Ma Yigong, the commander of the Zhaowu School of the Jinzhong Admiral's House, and Zhou Tong, the deputy commander of Zhenwei, were lucky enough to win this honor. They are actually embezzling the achievements of the Jiangdong Left Army..." Ma Yigong and Zhou Tong stood up and replied loudly, these words were all from Cao Zi'ang. Came here after teaching.

"Okay, okay, okay, the generals in Jinzhong are really brave and good at fighting," Lin Fu gave a few words of comfort, and then handed over to Lin Xuwen, Liu Zhi, and Yang Zhishan, "In this battle, the chieftains can be captured, all of them are Lin Duxian, Lin Duxian, Liu Zhi, and Yang Zhishan. Liu Guanjun and Yang are in charge of supervising the battle, please come forward to watch the prisoners!"

Liu Zhi's eyes were uncertain. He had long guessed that the Jiangdong Left Army fighting in the Jinhai coalition should be the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers who were trapped here. In the battle of Gaoyang, almost the entire army of Jinzhong was destroyed. Although Master Hao was not responsible for the incident, he instead entrusted the emperor with the command of the director of the world's diligent masters. Those with discerning eyes knew in their hearts that Jinzhong's diligent masters were destroyed and led by Master Hao. There is a direct relationship between Ji Beibing's death and not being saved. I am afraid that these remnants of Jin Zhong will also hate Master Hao so much that he is gnashing his teeth.

Liu Zhi glanced at Lin Fu and saw that he was looking at the generals who returned to report victory with a grim expression. He thought that he couldn't figure out the joints in it. In any case, the victory of Jinhai happened right in front of you, Lin Fu was the favorite general of the Chu Party, and Lin Xuwen was connected to him. Saying that he was young and arrogant, he really couldn't help him for a while, Liu Zhi smiled and said: "Lin Dujian is really polite, if a certain family stands here, there will be credit, and this credit is too easy, a certain family is not Dare to compete for this credit with the soldiers who fought **** battles..."

"Master Liu is the deputy envoy of Guanjun Rong sent by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This battle is not the credit of Master Liu, how can it be justified?" Lin Fu laughed, he still wanted to put aside the relationship after hearing Liu Zhi's words, Jinzhong The problem of the remnants of the soldiers is really tricky, but with Jinhai Victory as his reliance, he can at least seize the initiative to solve the problem.

Lin Fu had a thorough understanding with Lin Xuwen beforehand, but Lin Xuwen didn't say anything. The Jiangdong Left Army was insufficient in strength, and came to Jinhai to unite with the remnants of the Jinzhong army to fight.

With the victory of Jinhai, it is enough for many middle and low-level generals in the remnants of the Central Jin army to make atonement for their crimes, and there is no need to worry that they will be held accountable for Gao Yang's fiasco. As far as Hao Zongcheng is concerned, it is impossible to stare at Gao Yang's fiasco.

The key is the question of whether to retain the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers after the war, whether to retain the organizational system and return to Jinzhong, whether to abolish it and incorporate it into each army, or to integrate it into the front base of the frontier army. These are things that Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin can decide.

Lin Xuwen is not worried about this matter at the moment. He knows that Lin Furuo leads the army westward, and he wants to gain a firm foothold in Hejianfu in the name of the censor of Youduya and supervise the military preparations of Hejianfu, and also to win over Ma Yi. Gong, Zhou Tong, these generals in Jin Zhong.

Lin Xuwen walked down and looked at the captive general in front of the shed, covered in blood. He didn't know whether it was the blood that came out of him or the blood that Jiangdong Zuojun's general spattered on him. In short, his clothes and armor were soaked. It was tightly bound, and his eyes as big as copper bells were still open. His eyes were very fierce.

"The name of this captive general is Xinjue Timur, and he is the deputy commander of the army of King Donghu." Lin Fu took the silver plaque, looked at it carefully, and said, "The army of the Donglu is divided into the army of the king and the clan. The soldiers, the king's tent soldiers are composed of Yejier, the chief of the Eastern Captives, with the elites of the Yeji tribe and the elites of various tribes. At the beginning, there were about 10,000 cavalry, and there were thousands of cavalry to conquer the world, and it was indeed the most elite fighting force of the eastern captive. The tribal soldiers were originally drawn from various tribes, but only during wartime, when the soldiers were sent back. However, recently there have been frequent border incidents, and the tribal soldiers have gradually become the standing soldiers of the Eastern Captives. This is also the origin of the saying that the eight troops of the Eastern Captives. The king's army is led by Ye Jier, the chief of the Eastern Captive, and the position of the deputy commander is comparable to that of the other seven commanders. It is really a big fish... "Lin Fu explained the Donglu military system to Lin Xuwen.

"So," Lin Xuwen turned back and asked Yang Zhishan, "This thief is comparable to the admiral of this dynasty."

"It's not inappropriate to say that," Yang Zhishan said. "Even if there is a difference, it's almost the same..." He was kept in the dark beforehand, and he didn't know that it was the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers who were fighting the Jiangdong Left Army Allied Forces. The suspicion has not yet been dispelled, he wanted to take the captured halberd from Ning Zechen's hand, and when he grasped it, he felt that the halberd was too heavy and could not be grasped. Do you think the whole body is made of stainless steel?

Seeing that Yang Zhishan didn't grab the halberd, Lin Fu grabbed the halberd out of curiosity, ho, I'm afraid it weighs 70 pounds. This kind of heavy weapon, let alone stabbed, is used as a whip. Even if a person wears scale armor, he will be half-scarred, and he doesn't know how much damage it will take to capture this person alive.

Liu Zhi knew the opportunity, and instead of taking the halberd, he took the sword in Zhou Tong's hand and took a closer look.

This knife is really beautiful. The handle is made of copper, with silver wire inlaid. Both sides of the grip are embedded with a blood agate the size of a horse/eye. The scabbard is also embedded with various broken gems. Liu Zhi temporarily put aside the problem of the remnants of the soldiers in Jinzhong, and admired the knife carefully, looked for the machine, and pulled the knife out. It emits a cold light, as sharp as it can stab people: "It's a really good knife. Master Hao and I have been in the army for some time. I've never seen such a good knife before..."

"It's a really good knife..." Lin Fu returned the halberd to Ning Zechen, and was about to pick it up and take a closer look, but Lin Mengde pulled one behind him. Looking back, he saw Lin Mengde winking at him. But seeing Liu Zhi's eyes looking at the knife was very greedy. Not to mention Liu Zhi, even Zhou Tong's eyes on the knife are quite different.

As a military general, most of his other hobbies are empty, but his hobby for weapons comes from the heart; he never thought that Liu Zhi also likes knives.

Ning Zechen said next to him, "This prisoner is very difficult to catch. It was Colonel Zhou who went around the horse and threw him off the horse before joining forces to catch him. This sword was also captured by Colonel Zhou..."

"It's still Commander Ning who took Mo Dao and slashed him on his shoulder first..." Zhou Tong said embarrassedly, and looked at the sword in Liu Zhi's hand again.

Ning Zechen took the halberd and Zhou Tong came to offer victory, but Lin Fu knew that they had already divided the spoils before they came, and hoped that he would give Zhou Tong the saber and the halberd to Ning Zechen, but Lin Meng knew that It meant that it was really difficult to give this knife to Liu Zhi, so Lin Fu didn't reach out to take the knife.

Liu Zhi pulled out the knife~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and waved it a few times, and asked Lin Bie quite proudly: "Lin Dujian, do you think I can still catch my eye after a few strokes?"

Lin Bie didn't expect Liu Zhi to be able to use swordsmanship. He had two strokes, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Master Liu didn't lead the army to kill the enemy. This sword should belong to Liu Guanjun..."

"Really?" Liu Zhi asked happily, and then said, "If the chief is captured, this sword should be presented to the emperor together with the chief. A certain family would not dare to be greedy..."

"If you want to offer victory to the emperor, Master Liu should also use this knife to offer victory..." Lin Fu was afraid that Liu Zhi would not be greedy for his benefits, so he insisted on stuffing the knife to Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi wanted to break away from Jiangdong Zuojun before, saying that he did not distinguish the military merits of the Jinhai victory. At this time, he was jealous of this knife, hesitating, he hesitated for a while before he smiled and said: "Lin Dujian, you are hurting me. Ah..." He held the knife in his hand, but did not intend to return it to Lin Fu.

Zhou Tong was not good at concealing his thoughts, and his face showed a look of disappointment. Gao Yang's fiasco, and Jin Zhong's soldiers were killed in eight or nine, all thanks to the eunuchs. At this time, the **** Liu Zhi took away his beloved sword again. breed hatred. Lin Bie saw Zhou Tong's expression in his eyes, untied the knife from his waist, and said, "Zhou Commander has the ability to capture a thief first, and I shouldn't reward it, but Zhou's heroism is admirable, here I am. There was a sword that was captured during the Great Victory in Cangnan, and I couldn't find a qualified owner, so I gave it to Captain Zhou, hoping that Captain Zhou could use it to build up military exploits..."

"..." Zhou Tong said awkwardly. He didn't know what to do for a while. Of course, he knew in his heart that Lin Fu would love to wear the knife on his waist. He wanted to refuse, but he shoved the knife into his hand and blushed. Stuttering and unable to speak.
