Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 76
After fighting for a long time, it really makes people feel exhausted, but there is nothing they can do, so they can only cheer up and hold on.

But Qin Chao finally received a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that they can retreat. The scouts sent by Yuchi Jingde happened to find Qin Chao who was resting and told Qin Chao Yuchi Jingde's order.

Yuchi Jingde defeated the former Turkic army, and captured the former general Ash Dewu Meichu alive. Yuchi Jingde has also led his army back to Chang'an, and Qin Chao will immediately lead his troops to catch up with the main formation and return to Chang'an together.

Although this damn war is not completely over, for Qin Chao, it is considered to be over. At least he should be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

The bad news is that although Yuchi Jingde is brave and invincible, but the number of enemy troops is twice as large as his own, and they are all cavalry. Deu didn't take a sip, and the Turks scattered and fled.

In this battle, the [-] troops led by Yuchi Jingde also lost nearly [-] troops. The remaining two-thirds were injured. The troops could no longer fight and could only withdraw from Jingyang. Go to the other side of the Wei River to rest and prepare for another battle.

In Qin Chao's view, this is an extremely wise decision. This battle should not be fought at all, at least he should not be allowed to go to the front line. As long as Qin Chao does not go to the front line, it doesn't matter how you fight.

Qin Chao is naturally willing to accept Yuchi Jingde's order. Now that he has made military achievements, more than [-] soldiers under his leadership have killed more than a thousand enemies in just half a day, and captured [-] to [-] horses, gold, silver, money, and weapons. There are countless equipment.

To put it bluntly, if Li Er didn't give Qin Chao a title that sounded awesome, he would be sorry for such a feat.

"Deputy Lieutenant..." Zhang San's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down in front of Qin Chao, hesitating to speak.

"Zhang San, we won such a big victory, why are you crying? Come on, be happy, and smile." Qin Chao smiled slightly, mistakenly thinking that Zhang San was excited and wanted to express his opinion or something.

Although he didn't say anything, Qin Chao was a complete dick in his heart. At this time, his heart was already frenzied, and he wished he could get off his horse and run in front of Zhang San, shaking his head and saying to him: "Hurry up and say something to compliment me." , hurry up and worship me, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait...'

"Zhang San is really lucky to be able to work under the command of the deputy lieutenant in this life. This is the happiest, easiest and most rewarding battle Zhang San has ever fought in his life. Wei was so grateful that he burst into tears, but..." Zhang San was a little choked, pursed his lips, held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, and continued:

"Vice lieutenant, if there is an afterlife, Zhang San and others are still willing to serve as soldiers under the lieutenant's command. Please lead the lieutenant to leave as soon as possible, and I will take away the military exploits of the Baiqu mansion soldiers, and die. People, it is useless to want these external things, I only hope that one day, the brothers can still remember that you and I fought together here today, if you have time, you can come here and burn a stack of papers for us."

Zhang San's words really touched Qin Chao. Although they were not the flattering words that he had imagined, if there was someone who would be grateful for him in the next life, Qin Chao would still be very useful.

But what happened next, Qin Chao felt something was wrong no matter how he heard it. How could this meow be like a farewell before life and death?

Qin Chao looked at Zhang San with doubts and did not speak. He was waiting for an explanation from Zhang San.

I worked so hard to lead you to survive, but now it's a good thing, you still want to die?

"Lieutenant, this is Baiqu Mansion, we are Baiqu Mansion soldiers..." Zhang San still knelt on the ground, and nearly two hundred Baiqu Mansion soldiers who were still alive also knelt on the ground.

Now Qin Chao finally understood Zhang San's intentions, which meant disobedience.

But Qin Chao was helpless about this disobedience. Even if Li Er was here, he might not have any good way to solve it.

Zhang San is right, this is Baiqu Mansion, and they are soldiers of Baiqu Mansion.

Yuchi Jingde can retreat if he can't defeat him. Qin Chao and the others can also follow Yuchi Jingde's order and retreat to Chang'an. Qianniuwei's home is in Chang'an, Yuchi Jingde's home is in Chang'an, and Qin Chao is a bachelor. As long as they are not on the battlefield, It's the same everywhere.

But these Baiqu Mansion soldiers are different, their home is here, and their relatives are here.

They can leave, but what about their relatives after they leave?The Turkic people came fiercely without warning, and they killed from the frontier to the hinterland of Guanzhong in just a few dozen days.

Yuchi Jingde and Qin Chao fought a victory in Jingyang with a small number of troops, but it is irrelevant to the overall situation. There may be tens of thousands of Turks behind, or 10,000+. It is impossible to prevent them from continuing to go south within a short period of time, and it is even more impossible to stop them north of Jingyang.

The people in Jingyang and Gaoling will fall under the iron hooves of the Turks and become a strand of unjust souls in this war.

Others can stay angry and leave here with a heart of revenge, waiting for revenge one day, but they can't just pat their butts and leave here.

Qin Chao understands their thoughts very well, and also understands their difficulties.

but……

This is by no means a reason to keep them. Although two hundred elite soldiers cannot stop thousands of Turkic cavalry, they can play a necessary role when necessary, so they are left here to fend for themselves.

After leaving, the only thing Qin Chao could do was to say good things for the soldiers of Baiqu Prefecture in the memorial to Yuchi Jingde, and make them heroes of the country.

Qin Chao believes that Qianniuwei will not expose this lie, and will even cooperate with Qin Chao to establish them as heroes.

But this was not what Qin Chao wanted.

Qin Chao didn't know what the original history was like, but he was sure that people like Zhang San never died in history, at least they didn't die in this damn war.

Historically, Zhang San and the others should still be in Luozhou, and Cheng Chumo and the others should also be in Chang'an. It was because of Qin Chao that they changed everything. Their deaths can also be said to be caused by Qin Chao himself. .

If the rest of these people could not be brought back alive, Qin Chao might have trouble sleeping and eating.

Therefore, he had to take Zhang San and the others out of here, even if he used all means.

"Soldiers, it is their bounden duty to obey orders. You know what the military regulations are." Qin Chao responded with a strong tone, which cannot be doubted.

"But today I don't want to bind you with military regulations. Retreat. This is the general trend. The enemy is strong and we are weak. We have no other choice. Now we have done our best, and the government has already evacuated the people. You stay. Of course it is possible to kill more invading enemies, but so what? Can it influence the overall situation? It is nothing more than adding hundreds of names to the number of dead on both sides.

As an elite of the Tang Dynasty, even if you die, you should die well, not this kind of unnecessary death.To live is to avenge the dead relatives. After death, do you want to hand over this hatred to others to avenge you?This is the sign of a coward. "
