Zhao Junyong is not Bai Ding, he is from a very good background. He used to be the middle official of Yingtian in Nanjing in the Yuan Dynasty. When Fang Guozhen accepted the recruitment, the official position given to him by the court was only in the government. This year, he was promoted to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province to participate in politics, so Zhao Jun The starting point of use is very high. He is different from the generals who came from the bottom of the troubled times. He is a talent with both civil and military skills. Such talents are very few in any era.
"How's it going?" Lin Yuan sat in the makeshift camp with food in front of him—moja ham. This ham is made from pork legs, not modern starchy food. It tastes delicious and convenient. It takes a lot of effort to chew on the cheeks.
However, only Lin Yuan and Song Shizhao have the supply of this Roujiamo. After all, there are only a few people who raise pigs.
Robben asked while eating Roujiamo, "Why do you say this is Roujiamo, isn't this Roujiamo?"
Lin Yuan took a bite, took a sip of water and swallowed it before saying, "The meat is sandwiched with buns."
Robben was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It turned out to be such a meat bun."
The battle report has not come, Lin Yuan is a little anxious, but his anxiety is hidden, he will not pace back and forth, nor show sadness on his face, on the contrary, the more anxious he is, the more calm he behaves.
Robben thought it was because Lin Yuan had the chance to win, so he could calmly wait for the news of victory.
"Zhao Junyong..." Robben said suddenly, "I have heard of this person, who was originally an official of the Gou court, and later fled to Guo Zixing with another person. This person has a long-term vision, unlike Fang Guozhen, who is afraid of his head and tail. ."
Lin Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Sometimes people who are afraid of their heads and tails live longer."
Fang Guozhen lived to the end, and most of the people who lived to the end in history were not heroes, but villains.
Robben was stunned, not knowing how to continue.
At this moment, the battle report finally came.
Generally, at this time, you are either winning or losing, or requesting reinforcements, there are only these three options.
The soldier was covered in dirt and blood, as if he had just crawled out of the sea of corpses. He rode his horse and was led in front of Lin Yuan. He knelt down on his knees and breathed out the battle report.
As Lin Yuan guessed, they won. Zhao Junyong had his head beheaded by Chen Bosong and hung on a long pole. The confidants who resisted wanted to continue to break through, but they were all beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Congrong.
Now they are counting the number of their dead and the number of prisoners of war.
However, there is not much left. Some soldiers climbed the mountain when they saw that the situation was not right. Those who want to survive can always find a way, and Chen Bosong and the others are not going to go up the mountain to search for people. It is too labor-intensive and meaningless. .
The prisoners of war were surrounded. Most of them actually didn't have breastplates or heart protectors. Some even had Fan Yang hats, and some didn't, but this was not bad. After all, military supplies required money everywhere. Silver is not inexhaustible, and Sun Deya is not someone with huge sums of money. Even if there are businessmen who support him, it is not enough to equip all soldiers with expensive equipment.
Most of today's armies, except those in Lin Yuan's hands, are like this.
Lin Yuan spent almost all the money he could use on military supplies. The salt factory in Xinghua provided him with financial assistance, and the food and grass were sponsored by businessmen, so his biggest expenditure was weapons and equipment.
This time, the food and grass were basically given to him by Shen Fu for free, and Shen Fu's youngest son, Shen Rong, followed him all the way.
Lin Yuan felt that it was impossible for these businessmen to make money. They were simply desperate. For the sake of money, they could even put themselves in danger.
It was impossible to send these prisoners of war to Runing. The distance was long and there were so many people that he couldn't spare so many people to escort them.
Take them to war? Running away at the same time will confuse the military.
More food has to be consumed.
Lin Yuan thought of Bai Qi, but he couldn't learn from Bai Qi, killing so many people would be against the harmony of the sky, but he always remembered why he came to this day, just to make the children stop crying day and night, and let the children stop crying day and night. People don't have to worry about whether they can see the sun tomorrow, so they can rely on their hands to create a better life.
He doesn't want to make himself a devil who sees human life as nothing.
Even though he knew that learning to start in vain might be the best way, it wasn't the only way.
"Guanzhong, these prisoners of war..." Lin Yuan sought Luo Guanzhong's opinion, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure for the time being, and this was an urgent matter.
Luo Guanzhong glanced at Lin Yuan, he already understood what Lin Yuan meant, Lin Yuan didn't want to kill these prisoners of war, but keeping them would be a scourge, Luo Guanzhong thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "Master, why don't you let them find their own way? "
Lin Yuan whispered, "Let them go?"
Luo Guanzhong nodded: "It's not too close to Haozhou, it will take a while for them to walk back, and not everyone can walk back."
There will be many deaths on the road, of starvation, disease and ingestion.
Lin Yuan understood that this was the last choice he could make.
He recruited soldiers and gave him a secret letter. Both Chen Bosong and Zhu Yuanzhang knew his handwriting. On the battlefield, he had to have a token to carry out the order. Li Congrong - he was illiterate until now, so his advisor was given to him by Lin Yuan. The selected ones have no doubts about their loyalty to Lin Yuan.
This strategist is also Song Shizhao's proud disciple, Yang Shaowei. This man is young and has a lot of heart. He inherited Song Shizhao's intrigue and tricks. Now he is called resourceful and he also inherited Song Shizhao's careful eyes. Accumulated vinegar can kill people.
But he was really loyal to Lin Yuan, which was brainwashed by Song Shizhao. Lin Yuan even thought that if he gave an order, Yang Shaowei could die because of it.
This is also the reason why he is relieved to put Yang Shaowei by Li Congrong's side.
After all, Li Congrong is really not a reassuring person. He has a very outgoing personality. He has nothing to say and is not a man of the city, but he also has many advantages. , he is like a small sun, and no one around him will feel bad about him.
Sometimes Lin Yuan felt that only by living like Li Congrong could he be happy for a long time, and he could also lead the people around him.
It's a pity that he can't become that kind of person, even if he could before, when he chose this path, it was already doomed what kind of person he would become in the future.
But he will not regret the choice he made.
Chen Bosong and Zhu Yuanzhang had the prisoners released after reading the handwriting.
The weapons of the prisoners of war have been confiscated, and the armor with armor has also been stripped. Of course, it is impossible for them to keep the Fan Yang hat.
The prisoners of war were at a loss. They knew that they had been released, but this did not bring them the slightest joy, but more confusion.
Some of them were in military camps because they were homeless, some were conscripted soldiers, and some were for a meal.
The general took them away for a long time, and sometimes they had to travel day and night, forgetting how long they had gone.
Then... they met the enemy, and they lost, the general died, and they thought they would die too.
But now the other party says, can they survive
How can I survive and walk back to Haozhou on my legs? But they came with rations and left with nothing.
Some people who think less are very happy, they can go back to their hometown and save their lives.
Others have a sad face, how can they go back? Drink the northwest wind and go back, and when you go back, you can only hide, otherwise? They were captured as prisoners of war and put back? People just think they are deserters.
The cheering group was the fastest to walk. They returned to their hearts like arrows. Although there was nothing, they were hopeful.
There are still some people who have not left. This group of people has no relatives in Haozhou. They became soldiers for a meal. In their opinion, no matter where they are soldiers, they are soldiers. places they want to stay.
"Do you want to keep all these?" Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised.
Li Congrong said while chewing the roujiamo: "Then stay, anyway, we have to fight."
Fighting is exhausting, and some people have died in this battle, so it is a good thing to be able to replenish it.
Chen Bosong frowned.
Li Congrong: "Why do you see me like that? You don't want to keep them?"
Chen Bosong's tone was not good: "Where did you come from?"
Li Congrong looked innocent: "I saw your personal soldier working outside just now, and found that he was going to bring this for you, so I asked him to give it to me, and I gave it to you for him."
Chen Bosong: "...You still ate it."
Li Congrong's face was sweet: "It tastes good, it's refreshing to eat, I can't see it, Lao Chen, you can live a good life, shouldn't it be a woman? I married a wife, but she never I don't care what I eat."
Chen Baisong was expressionless: "I don't care what you eat either."
It was specially prepared for him by Lin Yuan, and neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Li Congrong had it, so he had it.
But no matter how angry he was, he could only swallow it and hope that Li Congrong choked to death.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the inside story either, and said on the side, "More than 20,000 people want to stay."
Chen Bosong said: "It's still too much."
Only 10,000 people can absorb it.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed helplessly.
They have to drive 10,000 people away.
Li Congrong: "At this time of year, a few people can't die if they walk together, they will eat the bark, and the wild animals won't find many people. Tell them and see how many you can go."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and Chen Bosong had no objection.
After taking the last bite, Li Congrong sucked a few fingers and said fragrantly, "Next time you eat this, remember to call me, I'll eat three, and I'm not full, so don't be too stingy."
Chen Bosong did not speak.
The guards outside the tent shivered.
General Li just took away the last three Roujiamo.
