Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 538 On the way to pursue 2
After interrogating the Huns centurion, Gongsun Xu immediately ordered to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. Rurui, the Huben Army, suffered few casualties in this battle, but hundreds of people were killed in the first battle, and hundreds more were injured.

Just when Gongsun Xu was consulting the map and preparing to formulate the next marching route, the school captain who had escorted Cai Yan and Zhen Dao walked up to Gongsun Xu, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "My lord, the last general neglected his duty, causing the whereabouts of the mistress to be unknown." , you should die."

The rest of the Huben army who were originally involved in the escort mission also walked up to Gongsun Xu and knelt down in shame. They failed to complete the mission this time, so that their side was besieged and lost many brothers. The whereabouts of the other five hundred brothers are also unknown now. , and Zhen Dao's life and death is also unknown now, for these courtiers, they have already made an unforgivable mistake.

"Get up." Gongsun Xu continued to stare at the map without looking up and said, "Take the brothers back to recuperate."

No accusation, no relief, Gongsun Xu is in a bad mood now, he has no time to talk to the captain and the kneeling sergeant.In fact, Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that they couldn't be blamed for this incident. They were able to break through from the encirclement of 1 enemy troops, and finally relied on the hillside to defend. In desperation, they divided the team into two groups and fled. This has been done very well, and Gongsun Xu naturally understands the difficulty of this.

However, for the Huben Army, they only have two endings: completing the characters and not completing the task. No matter how difficult it is or how strong the opponent is, they have no reason to make excuses for their failure. This is definitely not the style of the soldiers of the Huben Army .

Today, they were indeed dereliction of duty and failed to complete the task entrusted by Gongsun Xu, so they felt ashamed. Even if Gongsun Xu did not directly blame them, from Gongsun Xu's tone of impatience just now, these All the soldiers of the Huben Army understood that they had let the lord down.

"The general is guilty." The captain lowered his head in shame and said, "I have failed the lord's entrustment, even if I die, I cannot escape my guilt."

After finishing speaking, the captain drew his weapon fiercely and was about to kill himself. In desperation, Dian Wei kicked the captain's saber away, and then shouted: "What are you doing? You will kill yourself if you haven't completed the task. How can this be done by our Tiger Ben army?" for."

It was only then that Gongsun Xu realized that his words and deeds might have misunderstood these loyal subordinates. He was really in a hurry now, so he had no time to take into account the feelings of these soldiers. Just now his attention was all on the map, so the school He really didn't care much about what Wei said.

But Gongsun Xu didn't expect that the reaction of these soldiers would be so strong. Because of his bad tone, these people would commit suicide and apologize.

"Get up." Gongsun Xu stepped forward to help the captain and said, "I really didn't mean to blame you. I don't blame you this time. The enemy came prepared. How can I shirk responsibility for things that I didn't even think of?" on you.

Besides, in a hurry, you can think of dividing your troops into two ways to reduce risks, which is already very good.Explain that you have not followed me in vain all these years, and I appreciate you very much.Men don't cry easily, don't cry in front of your subordinates.

Many brothers were injured, and those brothers who died in battle, the situation is urgent now, and they must be resettled.I will entrust you with another task now, do you dare to take it? "

"The general vows to die to complete the task." The captain knelt down and cupped his hands again and said, "The general is willing to guarantee the head of the project."

"Okay, this is my boy from Beijiang, and this is the mighty and unyielding Huben Army." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Now, I order you to lead people to clean up the battlefield, and then take all the corpses of the brothers who died in battle and those who were injured." The brothers returned to the Great Wall and found military division Xi Zhicai as quickly as possible.

At the same time, you have to escort the mistress back to Jiuyuan, and then wait for my return in Jiuyuan to recuperate.Listen, the brothers have suffered a lot. I feel very guilty that so many brothers died in battle today. I don’t want another brother to lose his life due to injury or illness.

It will be late now, and it will be very cold at night. If you don’t pay attention to precautions, it is very likely that the wounds of the injured brothers will worsen. You must ensure that every injured brother can be healed, and no one will be lost. Understand? "

"Little general, I understand." The captain resisted the tears he was about to shed. He gritted his teeth and nodded. Gongsun Xu gave him this task, but he was actually asking him to lead the wounded away from the wrong place. As a dereliction of duty Huben army, Now that he can still be favored by the lord, what else can he say.

Cai Yan walked to Gongsun Xu's side, and he could feel the anxiety in Gongsun Xu's heart. Now Zhen Dao has not been found, and the matter is not over yet. The enemy has a detailed plan, and whether he can find anyone is a problem.

"Husband, I'm sorry." Cai Yan cried and said, "I,,,,,,"

Gongsun Xu shook his head and stopped, "It has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."

"No, sister Zhen Dao and I originally escaped in two ways, but now she,,,,,,"

Cai Yan wanted to continue talking, but how could Gongsun Xu be willing to let his woman blame herself so much? Besides, this matter has something to do with Cai Yan.

Gongsun Xu hugged Cai Yan, stroked Cai Yan's smooth long hair with his left hand, and then comforted: "Be obedient, go back to Jiuyuan and wait for me now, I will come back after I find the way, be obedient, don't blame yourself, this matter The matter has nothing to do with you."

Cai Yan nodded, how could he not know how sad his husband is now, just when Gongsun Xu was about to give the order to move on, Cai Yan suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute, my lord." Cai Yan stopped Gongsun Xu and said, "The leader of the Xiongnu army raided my carriage before, and I saw his face clearly. He is a young man, probably only 20 years old at most.

Also, I think his appearance reminds me of a person. My husband still remembers the group of Huns when we were in Hedong. At that time, the leader of the Huns surrounded my husband many times. This young man is very similar to the leader of the Huns.

By the way, husband, there is one more thing we didn't have time to tell you last time, Dao'er is pregnant, he originally wanted to give you a surprise, but who knows what happened now, husband must wear Dao'er's seat belt Come back. "

After hearing the news that Zhen Dao was pregnant, Gongsun Xu became even more anxious. He had a child, and he actually had a child.But now the whereabouts of his wife and children are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain.

At the moment, Gongsun Xu was no longer alone, and except for all the wounded, the rest all got on their horses and continued to pursue. More than 500 soldiers of the Huben Army galloped away with three riders. Gongsun Xu was eager to find his wife quickly.

On the battlefield, the remaining Huben army was treating the wounded, and the four Huns were left aside just now. Gongsun Xu said that he would not break his promise if he didn't kill them.The captain came over after he was busy with the matter at hand.

"If it wasn't for the lord's words first, how could we save your life today." The captain said angrily: "This is the best wound medicine, which is enough for the three of you to heal your wounds. If you die because of improper healing, you will be blamed short.

Here are four horses and dry food for a few days, plus a tent for you.My lord has fulfilled all the things that my lord promised you. If I see you on the battlefield in the future, I will cut off the heads of the four of you.

By the way, you can also go to find your Zuo Xianwang now, I advise you to find him best, when the time comes, my lord and Brother Huben Jun will be able to send you on the road together, even if you are ghosts, at least you will have a companion. "

After finishing speaking, the captain gave a cold snort and dropped the wound medicine, then led the people away. On the entire battlefield, only the corpses of the Huns and those disabled and dead horses remained.

Half an hour later, the four Hun soldiers also took care of their wounds. The captain did not withhold their rations and wound medicines, and even the horses left for them were not seriously injured. They only needed to rest for two days. These four war horses can still gallop wildly.

"How is it? Boss, where are we going?" In addition, Radiant surrounded the Huns centurion, who is now their backbone.

"What else can you do? Do you want to go home or continue to follow Zuo Xianwang to fight." The centurion said with a lonely face: "They are all my brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Boss, don't blame me for not showing friendship." A soldier said: "I want to go home, my wife is waiting for me at home, she is about to give birth, I have to go home, boss, I'm sorry, please let me go home."

The centurion looked at the soldier calmly, and then asked the other two, "What about you? What do you say?"

"We discussed it just now." The other two replied: "Boss, we are sorry for you, the three of us only need two horses, we want to go home, this time we don't know why we are going south, hehe, for Shan Yu? King Zuo Xian left us here to work hard without looking back, even if the brothers died, no one came to collect the bodies, I still have family members, my boy and daughter are waiting for me to go home."

All three of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at the centurion. As soldiers, they were running away, and the centurion had the right to kill them all.

"We don't owe Shanyu any affection." After a long time, the centurion finally said, "We abandoned our family and children, and traveled thousands of miles to follow Zuo Xianwang to fight, and went south to fight the enemy, but at the most critical moment, King Zuoxian left us, and we don't owe Lao Shanyu anything anymore.

Let's go home. The weather in the grassland is a bit abnormal this year. It is estimated that it will snow early. If we are not at home, we don't know if the mother-in-law and children at home can survive this winter. Let's go back now.It's not that we're not brave enough, but that we don't want to follow those leaders who didn't take on the role, King Zuo Xian, who is not worthy to be our commander in chief.

Clean up the battlefield quickly. The Huben army left in a hurry just now. They only took away the corpses of their own people and the uninjured horses. I see that there are still a few wounded horses over there. They may be able to run if they are well healed. Take away everything you can use.

Don't waste the corpses of the dead war horses, it would be great if there are so many war horses made into jerky.I hope to be able to return home before the heavy snow falls. Before I leave, the family is almost out of food, and I don’t know if the food and grass promised by the leader have been delivered to our home.Stop fighting, go home, let's go home. "
