Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 After the Battle 1
It was almost dark when the front-guard army came back from cleaning the battlefield. Before Xu Huang and the others would tell Gongsun Xu the information they had received in detail, Gongsun Xu had already led three hundred tiger guards to the captive army's camp.

In this battle, the captive army played the main role. Facing an enemy force that was almost twice as large as itself, the captive army did not flinch. This was beyond Gongsun Xu's expectations. It is not easy for the captive army to achieve today's situation .

After the detailed battle report was compiled, Gongsun Xu knew how much the captive army had paid. At present, the captive army camp is full of wounded soldiers. Even if they rest for a few days, there will be no more than [-] soldiers who can be assembled to fight. .

The captive army who died directly on the battlefield was close to 700. This is not a small number. For other armies, this may directly lead to defeat.

In fact, on the battlefield, many soldiers of the captured army had to continue to fight the enemy when they were injured. Many soldiers of the captured army even when they were seriously injured were determined to drag a few backs, otherwise, The number of war dead will not be so many.

There are only more than 500 seriously injured people. If they were placed in the former grassland tribes, these people would have been sentenced to death. If they can come back, they can see their families for the last time. Compared with those who died directly on the battlefield Soldiers are only a little bit stronger.

There were not a few minor wounded, but fortunately, most of them could handle their wounds by themselves. As long as the injuries were not allowed to worsen, nothing serious would happen.

The corpses of the war dead were all brought back by the frontline army, and they were all neatly placed at the gate of the camp. The uninjured soldiers of the captive army were maintaining the order so that the families of the war dead came to claim their loved ones.

This can be regarded as Gongsun Xu's kind treatment to them. If it is in other tribes, this kind of situation will generally not happen. Many soldiers who participated in the expedition are basically buried on the spot after the death. At most, they are comrades with good relations Bring some of their belongings or a lock of hair back to their families.

As for the seriously wounded, Gongsun Xu did not abandon them either. Those who usually only used the best medicines from the Northern Xinjiang Army were now taken out. The experienced veterans of the Northern Xinjiang Army took wound medicines to heal and apply medicine for the seriously wounded. .

The slightly wounded can solve the wound problem with the help of himself and his comrades in arms. According to Gongsun Xu's estimation, the lightly wounded can basically go to the battlefield again, and only need to rest for three or four days at most. As for the seriously wounded, those who can survive should also More than [-]%, after all, the effect of the special wound medicine made by the Northern Xinjiang Army has been proven by facts.

Not to mention how many of these wounded people can survive, Gongsun Xu's attitude alone has touched all the surviving captive soldiers. For a long time, Gongsun Xu has rewarded them generously, and even solved the family problems for them. Ask ahh questions.

Perhaps their family members were kept in the camp mostly to monitor their families, but at least Gongsun Xu protected their families well.In particular, the actions of bringing back all the war dead and treating all the wounded with medicines directly caused many captured soldiers to cry bitterly.

When they were first selected to join the prisoner army, almost all the soldiers of the prisoner army believed that they were arrested and served as death row prisoners. Everyone chooses to run away.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you run or not, even if you run away, you will be caught by other tribes, and you will still be a death row prisoner. Instead of this, it is better to stay honestly with the Northern Xinjiang Army.If it weren't for the generous rewards given by Gongsun Xu later, these captive soldiers would not be so obedient.

Coupled with Gongsun Xu's promise to them that they will be rewarded for their meritorious service, even if they die in battle, they will teach them the rewards they deserve to their families, so the soldiers of the captured army are willing to obey orders. You have to have the consciousness of being a prisoner, even if Gongsun Xu understands that he wants them to die, at least Gongsun Xu has not treated them badly, which is how many times better than ordinary captives.

It wasn't until the end of the war and when these captive troops returned to the camp that they had suffered a disastrous defeat that they were completely convinced of Gongsun Xu, without questioning, insulting, or ridiculing.Gongsun Xu personally consoled the wounded soldiers and healed them with the best medicine.

When the corpses of the war dead were brought back, many soldiers of the captive army knelt down and kowtowed to Gongsun Xu. Who would not want to be able to transport the corpses back to their families after they died in battle? Lonely ghost.

If they were not from humble origins and were born to be bullied, how could these prairie athletes choose to join the army?All of them are aware of the consequences of going to the battlefield. Maybe some people will stand out and become the best, but most of the soldiers from the bottom are bloody on the battlefield and buried in other places.

This is almost the fate of the prairie warriors. After so many years of inheritance, many prairie tribes have downplayed the idea of ​​returning home after death. Since it is unrealistic, then it is not an extravagant hope.If the grassland tribes have no objection to burying their bones in a foreign land, it is absolutely impossible. Didn’t you see that after the death of those high-ranking nobles, their bodies were transported back for a grand burial?
If this kind of thinking is really downplayed, then why aren't those nobles buried directly in other places after their death?Wasn't it because of their humble origins that they didn't have the right and dignity to live in life, and even in death, they couldn't compare to those nobles. This is the fate of the grassland nomads at the bottom.

However, Gongsun Xu did not discriminate against them that much.The soldiers of the captive army were selected from the captured low-level soldiers and herdsmen. They had nothing to do with the grassland nobles. They had always lived the poorest life.

Even if some soldiers' families are richer, they have fought hard with their lives to get them back, and they will definitely not be rewarded to them for nothing by those nobles.

As a Han Chinese, Gongsun Xu did not treat these grassland soldiers as animals. At least, Gongsun Xu has always reserved for them human dignity and the right to live. Did not treat them badly.

Gongsun Xu watched the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle being taken away by their families, and seeing the crying of those family members, Gongsun Xu understood that it was not only because these family members lost their closest relatives, perhaps those who died in battle The soldier was the only adult male in their family, and the death of an adult male meant that the family's hope of survival was completely shattered. From now on, most of them would be slaves.

Whenever a corpse was claimed, Gongsun Xu would send someone to carefully record it. Except for the last 400 corpses that were not claimed, the rest of the war dead had already returned to their relatives.

Everyone has not left yet. This is specially arranged by Gongsun Xu. He wants to make a promise to all the captive soldiers and their families. Maybe Gongsun Xu is cold-blooded and ruthless. When commanding the battle, these soldiers may really be him. The numbers fluctuated in his eyes, but Gongsun Xu never thought of treating these warriors who were willing to work hard for him, even if these people were nomadic tribesmen in the grasslands.

"Today, there are 730 people killed in our army, and nearly 300 families have lost their loved ones. For this, I am deeply saddened, but I assure you that I will give you all the rewards that should be given to the dead. All the money will be handed over to their families." Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and roared.

When the soldiers of the captured army and the family members heard that Gongsun Xu made this promise in front of so many people, they were all moved and wept bitterly. Many soldiers knelt down and shouted: "General benevolence, general benevolence,, ,,,,"

Gongsun Xu waved his hands to signal that they were all quiet, and he continued: "I know, many of you have lost relatives, if it was before, maybe this means that you have lost your source of income and family support, maybe , what you have to face is the fate of being reduced to slavery, and your children will become other people's dolls.

What I want to tell you is that what happens in other grassland tribes will definitely not happen in the place I manage. I assure you that you will not be without financial resources and will not become captives. Your children, You will not be inferior to others from now on, you all have the right to live, and you all have a better hope.

I will arrange things for you, whether it is herding horses and sheep or participating in other things, I can ensure that you are well fed and warmly dressed.Today, you lost your loved ones, and I am equally sad, but your loved ones will not die in vain. I, Gongsun Xu, promise you that I will never treat any of my subordinates who sincerely serve me, no matter if you are Han Chinese or Huns or You are Xianbei people, no matter whether you are from nobles or slaves, in my eyes, you are all my subordinates. "

Due to language barriers, many prisoners and their families did not understand what Gongsun Xu meant, but those who understood immediately translated to them. After Gongsun Xu finished speaking, the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army raised their weapons and shouted: "Long live the great general, long live the great general,,,,,,"

The captured soldiers and their family members also joined the shouting ranks. They understood Gongsun Xu's promise to them. Perhaps they still don't know if the promise given by Gongsun Xu is true or not, but at least, Gongsun Xu Willing to make promises and keep them right away.

Even Heigou and the captive army officers are now moved to tears. They have been groping among the dead for so many years in order to survive, whether they worked for their own tribal leaders before or now for Gongsun Xu. They all just want to live.

But no leader has ever treated them so sincerely like Gongsun Xu, and no leader will do so many things for his subordinates after they die in battle.Even after those noble children died in battle, if there were no adult men in their families, their women would become the dolls of other nobles. This is a tradition on the grassland, a tradition that is not accepted but has to be accepted.

The soldiers of the captive army did not doubt Gongsun Xu's promise. There is no need for people of Gongsun Xu's status to play tricks with them. Only now are the soldiers of the captive army firm in their beliefs. They have found their goal.
