Chapter 92 Consequences Enemies "Double? Ten times is enough for you. Your Majesty is really good at business. As a minister, I can only accept defeat. You are worthy of Your Majesty!"
Ji Song's face was full of dark lines. He really couldn't figure out the inevitable connection between being an emperor and being able to do seeing Chai Shao's admiring look, it's better not to irritate him.
While he was talking, the Gaoling County Magistrate brought people over and said: "General, the loot has been collected and the prisoners have been placed. Next, I would like to ask the general for instructions!"
"Tell us about the battle losses and captures!" Chai Shao said.
"promise!"
He took out a piece of paper and began to read: "Our army killed 310 people and injured [-] people. Most of them can be recovered after treatment.
They captured 830 and 120 enemy soldiers, killed 250 and [-] people, and the rest were thousand and two hundred and fifty war horses were seized, and the rest could no longer be ridden.
The remaining leather armor and other items are still being counted, and there are also many swords and weapons, but they are not as sophisticated as our army. "
Chai Shao was a little surprised. Ji Song brought more than 200 people. When he came here just now, he didn't see such great damage to them! But when he read the piece of paper, he realized that most of the casualties were the 500 people he sent to Ji Song, which made him furious.
"Su Lie, Su Lie, where did you bastard go?" Su Lie was Su Dingfang's nickname. Ji Song was not surprised at all by Chai Shao's roar. When he knew the situation, he almost chopped him with a knife.
It turned out that Su Dingfang didn't take Ji Song's words of "Don't cause too much damage" to heart at all, even though he completed the task and captured Asdewu alive.
But his own casualties were not small. During the most difficult attack, there were no such heavy casualties. However, when he was about to win in the end, he suffered heavy casualties. He cannot absolve himself of the blame! "I am humble!"
"You're still fucking alive! Why don't you die? Why don't you even care about the lives of your men for the sake of merit? Ah!"
After saying that, he was about to whip him with a riding crop, but Ji Song stopped him. This was not the time to deal with him. After all, he had won the battle. Punishing his own generals in this way would damage his own morale.
He signaled Su Dingfang to leave quickly, while he held Chai Shao to prevent him from making a move.
Ji Song said: "Uncle, what are you doing? If you beat him, what would you make the soldiers below think? How could anyone treat a hero like this?"
"Hey!"
Chai Shao was also angry for a moment. These cavalry were part of His Majesty's Black Armor Cavalry. They had been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and they rarely suffered hundreds of casualties. After all, they were all armored soldiers, so they could not be injured so easily.
"Uncle, let's talk about Su Lie's matter later. The rewards that the soldiers deserve must not be less now, so as not to cause dissatisfaction!" Ji Song could only try his best to persuade, but he knew that even if Su Dingfang was promoted this time, he would be idle in the future. .
Even if they are in the army, no one will agree with a general who does not care about the lives of his soldiers for the sake of merit.
What happened like this also made Ji Song sober up. No matter how great Su Dingfang's achievements will be in the future, he is just a young man who doesn't have any brains for merit.
Without a process of gradual accumulation and growth, one will not become a qualified general.
Thinking of his achievements in history, Ji Song finally knew that he would be more generous in the later Gaozong period.
Su Dingfang was famous for his bravery and fighting spirit when he was young. He once accompanied his father to conquer the rebels and stabilize the village.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he defected to the Hebei Rebel Army led by Dou Jiande and Liu Heita, and made many military exploits.
It was not until the reign of Emperor Taizong that Su Dingfang began to serve the Tang Dynasty and accompanied Li Jing in the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks. In the decisive night attack on Yinshan, Su Dingfang led [-] cavalry to break the battle of Jieli Khan. The tooth tent made great contributions to destroying the Eastern Turks.
In the second year of Emperor Xianqing's reign, he was promoted to the general manager of the march through meritorious service and began to take charge of his own affairs. With his extraordinary achievements and integrity, he was deeply appreciated and trusted by Emperor Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and was entrusted with important tasks many Dingfang conquered the Western Turks, Pingcongling, Yibaiji, and conquered Goryeo. He "annihilated the three kingdoms one after another and captured their masters alive." Unprecedentedly, he expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty westward to the Aral Sea in Central Asia. The country's border reached Persia and extended eastward. to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
Looking at his life, it is not difficult to find that he only started to act independently when he was 50 or [-] years old and officially stepped onto his glorious stage.
Without the accumulation of the past decades, he would never have achieved such great achievements. He simply pushed the territory of the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles closer to the west.
The battle in Gaoling is over, and there is no need for them to stay any longer. The prisoners cannot stay here. It is best to place them in the rear. After all, it is too close to the front line.
Bring the useful things with you and leave the rest to the Gaoling County Magistrate.
Only then did Ji Song know that the magistrate's surname was Liu, and he was a rare good official. He heard that magistrate Liu was ready to kill himself when the city was about to be broken.
After finishing cleaning up, Chai Shao sent Su Dingfang to escort the prisoner. He was not ready to go to the battlefield. Looking at his clenched fists and red eyes, Ji Song said nothing.
Everyone has to pay the price for their actions, and it is obvious that he has not grown up to the extent that he did later.
Therefore, the price you should pay should not be less at all, this is the rule.
When he walked past him, Ji Song patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, this is not a bad thing. Go back and think about it. If you figure it out, you will know what to do."
On the way back, after Chai Shao personally sent someone to stop him, Ji Song took some time off and chatted with Chai Shao.
"You seem to be very optimistic about Su Lie?" Chai Shao said suddenly.
Ji Song was surprised. He didn't expect that he was so careful and was there was nothing to avoid, so he said: "Yes, he is brave, passionate, courageous and resourceful. With a little training, he will be a good general. If you are lucky, maybe a famous general will emerge."
"Of course, he has a lot of problems now. He is eager for quick success, reckless and reckless, but which young man doesn't make such mistakes!" Ji Song continued.
"report"
Just when Chai Shao was about to say something, a scout's voice suddenly came from the front, saying: "General Qi, there is a Turkic cavalry of 5000 people twenty miles ahead, rushing towards us."
"What?" Chai Shao was shocked. He didn't expect the other party to come so quickly. He didn't give himself time to rest.
At this time, everyone was rushing on their way, and Ji Song's people even had a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, they actually faced each other head-on.
"Can we detect who the opponent's general is?" This must be clarified. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
"We have found out. You know the general, the general. It is Ashina Tadayoshi who invaded the Northland during the Takeru years."
"What? Are you saying it again? Who is here?" Before the scout could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Song.
Chai Shao looked at Ji Song, who had a delicate face, but now he was completely ferocious. Even the people of the Ji clan behind him had red eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay! Just in time! How can Zhengchou find him!" Ji Song said with a ferocious smile as if he had broken his teeth.
