Chapter 297: Reinforcements Arrive "Your Highness, what now?
There are so many captives, we can't see it at all, but if the captives are ignored, it will be a big problem, maybe it will cause a riot, and now we have to find a way.
"Unlike Fang Yiai and the excitement of the young soldiers, Li Zhen and Xue Rengui began to worry, how to deal with so many prisoners?
There are still at least 200,000 enemies - this is already the minimum estimate, and the actual number may be more than that, so the question is, what do so many people think?
At most, there were only 3,000 people, and now in the 400,000 army, there are only more than 2,000 people left at most, 2,000 versus 200,000, this is a hundredfold difference, even if you don't do anything with these 2,000 people, just looking at so many captives is a huge pressure.
"You ask me, I ask who goes?
What to do?
Cold.
Li Zhen had no choice, and said with a sad face: "Now I just hope that they can quickly finish their work and come back to support us, otherwise we can only give up the prisoners and hold the entrance of the canyon and wait for reinforcements."
There is also a group of bastards in Liyu Division, who are not active at all, if you want me to go back, you must repair Wang Tingchu well, I am angry. ” Thinking that these hundreds of thousands of captives would all be given up, Li Zhen's heartache trembled - he is a local tyrant, yes, but two million pieces of silver, even he is a little unable to give up, so much money is enough for him to train another 10,000 boy soldiers.
"Speaking of reinforcements, when will they arrive?"
Xue Rengui was also heartbroken, and asked with a little expectation, if the reinforcements could arrive in time, these prisoners might not have to be thrown away.
"I don't know about that."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Because the back road is cut off, we haven't been in contact with the rear for a long time, Xue Wanche must have sent reinforcements, but when the specific reinforcements will arrive, only God knows-you said that this Hou Junji is also true, seeing that something happened to my side, don't you know to send a carrier pigeon to ask?"
” "It should be possible that General Xue Wanche has landed, so Lu Guogong didn't send a carrier pigeon, right?"
Xue Rengui said perfunctorily, but complained in his heart: Are you embarrassed to say that people are Lu Guogong?
Didn't you yourself send a pigeon for help?
"Your Highness, I am very happy."
Just when Li Zhen was entangled, Du He suddenly ran over with an excited face, shouting as he ran: "Your Highness, our reinforcements have arrived." ” "What are you kidding?"
Xue Rengui blurted out: "Although we don't know where the reinforcements have arrived, at most they have just landed in Linyi, how can they appear here?"
” Du He hurriedly said: "It's true, I'm not lying.
However, the reinforcements were not General Xue Wanche's, but the 20,000 troops under the command of Duke Luguo.
They were originally going to go to the southwest of Linyi to garrison, but after learning the news that His Highness was trapped, Duke Lu Guogong ordered them not to go to the southwest for the time being, and came directly to support His Highness.
At the same time, according to the leading general, in addition to them, Lu Guogong also temporarily slowed down his plan to occupy Linyi City, and hurriedly dispatched 40,000 troops to support, which should be there in a day or two.
There is also news that General Xue Wanche's reinforcements have also landed in Linyi and are currently resting, and I believe they will be able to set off in a few days. ” Xi Jun Maixi said: "In other words, as long as we survive these two days, we will have nearly 100,000 troops to use?"
Wait a few more days, and we'll have an army of 200,000?
” "That's what it means."
Duho Road.
"Great."
Li Zhen stroked his palms and said excitedly, not to mention 200,000, even if there is only 100,000 troops in hand, even if Zhenla comes another 400,000 army, he can fight them hard, and he will not be afraid of them at all.
As for Hou Junji's disobedience to military orders - although according to his own plan, Hou Junji did not need to participate in the big war, he only had to garrison Linyi, and by the way, it was enough to help himself pacify the rear.
But now the situation is obviously different, his back road was cut off, and he once again fell into a situation where he was destined to die in the eyes of others, which was obviously Hou Junji's dereliction of duty, and it was normal for him to take the initiative to come over to atone for his sins - not to mention that with Hou Junji's participation, he did himself a great favor, at least these 400,000 captives no longer need to have a headache for themselves, saving themselves a lot of trouble.
It's a timely rain.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen said, "Quickly invite someone to me." ” "Yes."
The reinforcement general soon came over, this is a middle-aged man in his thirties, and when he saw Li Zhenna, he bowed: "The last general, Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, Li Yuanzhang, has seen His Highness, and the last general did not listen to His Highness's orders, changed the military order without authorization, and asked His Highness to forgive his sins." ” “…… It's okay, General Li, please get up, it's the same sooner or later that Lin Yi will be occupied, but your arrival has really done me a great favor, what's the crime?
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, so she didn't squirt out, Li Yuanzhang, I almost heard Li Yuanfang.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your innocence."
Li Yuanzhang thanked him, then stood up, took advantage of the last bit of daylight to look around, and couldn't help sighing: "Your Highness, the last general was quite dissatisfied with the young army before, but looking at this scene today, the last general has to obey......
A whole 400,000 army, His Royal Highness actually fought with 30,000 people and 400,000 troops and won the battle, amazing, really powerful, not convinced. ” "General Li has won the award."
Li Zhen said modestly, and no longer politely pointed around: "You have also seen the situation now, although we have defeated Zhenla, but so many soldiers are not something that such a few people from us can see, so I also asked Li Jiangjun to take action and help guard these soldiers." ” "Your Highness is too polite, this is what the last general should do."
Li Yuanzhang did not feel dissatisfied because he was brought in as a coolie to guard the prisoner, but agreed happily.
If it was ten years ago, guarding the prisoners was indeed a thankless job, not only could you not kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but no one praised you if the guards were good, if there was a problem, then the first person to find it was you.
But all this changed ten years ago by the teenager in front of him, and guarding and degrading the pawn is no longer a hard job, but has become a job that everyone likes and everyone rushes to want.
The reason is simple, since ten years ago, the captives of the Tang Dynasty have had another use, that is, they are used as slaves.
Because infrastructure construction is being carried out in various parts of Datang, a large amount of labor is urgently needed, and the huge demand for labor is not enough for a little labor time every year, especially in some dangerous places, where you may lose your life at any time.
