Chapter 153 Sui Army Captive?
"It's not this time, it's the last time... last time. The last time Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ruled Liao with one million and one million troops, but he was defeated in Sashui and Pyongyang. The army defeated by our Goguryeo had 300,000 troops. In fact, there were only more than 200,000 Sui troops killed in those two battles, and the remaining 80,000 were surrendered and injured and captured."
As soon as Yuan Gai Tong finished speaking, Chen Kefu was stunned. He originally thought that the soldiers had already died, but he did not expect that so many soldiers would survive.
But no matter what, even if Yuan Gai Tong's words were half possible, Chen Kefu could not just pretend that he had made up a lie that he was afraid of death. Chen Kefu raised his hand and stopped the guard who pulled Yuan Gai Tong down, and walked in front of Yuan Gai Tong, who had been beaten to death in three or two steps.
The eyes were filled with coldness, as if a fatal light would burst out in the next moment.
"Is it true that the Yuan is covered with copper? I don't care whether you are covered with gold or copper. I will only ask you one more question now. If your next answer is false, after I find out, I will definitely make you unable to survive or die!"
Yuan Gai Tong's face was full of decadence, no longer had the courage it had before, and he was swollen with his face, "If you want to ask, ask, since it has fallen into your hands, I am unlucky. However, I am a noble nobleman in Goguryeo, and you cannot treat me like those lowly slaves."
"You are nothing in my eyes, no different from those slaves!"
Chen Kefu snorted coldly and continued, "You just said that you still have 80,000 or 90,000 Great Sui soldiers in your hands? Take this seriously?"
Yuan Gai Tong was stared at Chen Kefu coldly. He wanted to be tougher to maintain his noble status, but when the corners of his mouth turned into a low voice, "Yes, what I said was true. There were about 90,000 prisoners after the war, but later some were injured, so many died later. In the end, more than 60,000 survived, and the king ordered these Sui dogs... the Sui army's troops were demoted to slaves and distributed to the noble lords according to their military merits."
"Who are all assigned to? Where are these Sui soldiers now?"
"In the battle of Yizhi Wendesa Water, the military achievements were the highest. The king rewarded him with 10,000 of the Sui army as slaves. King Rongliu Gao Jianwu made great contributions in Pyongyang and defeated the Sui army navy. The king also rewarded him with 10,000 Sui army slaves. The king left 20,000 people for himself and the royal family. My brother is the Eastern Lord and the Kingdom of Great Lu, so my Yuan clan also divided 20,000 people. In fact, like the city lords of the country, Wugu City lords, Beisha City lords, and the leaders of various tribes, they all received a lot of Sui army slaves." Yuan Gaitong looked at Chen Kefu with a cold look on his face, and did not dare to hide it anymore, so he hurriedly said it out loud.
Chen Kefu sneered a few times, "It seems that your Yuan clan is really amazing. Your clan did not dispatch the last war, but in the end, he divided more spoils than the generals of Yizhi, and actually helped the king get the same number. As far as I know, the tribes of your Yuan clan are all in this northwest? Since you have obtained 20,000 slaves, why did you bring so many slaves this time but you didn't see my Sui army soldiers?"
Yuan Gai Tong glanced at Chen Kefu, as if he was looking at a fool, and turned his head aside and vomited blood on the ground.
Zhang Jin strode forward, kicked him again and chewed him, "Our general asked you, just sign up honestly. If you become a prisoner, you have to look like a prisoner. Believe it or not, I will strip you naked, tie it up on a big tree, cut hundreds of thin wounds, and then apply honey. When I heard that, the whole person would be covered with ants. I think you would not be willing to give it a try in person, right?"
When Yuan Gai Tong, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and even felt a bone itchy on his body. He stood up with a pale face, "I said, I said, because we were fighting with the Sui army this time, we naturally did not dare to bring Sui army slaves here. If we rebel before, we would be in trouble at that time. For these arrogant Sui slaves, we are just sending them to the manor as coolies and dare not let them be slave soldiers."
Chen Kefu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Yuan Gai Tong's collar and said, "You said the 20,000 Sui army soldiers and prisoners all assigned to your family are in your manor? But they are all in Fuyu, Northeast China?"
"Not only Fuyu, Jinshan, Baiyan and Beijing Pyongyang also have many slaves."
Chen Kefu stood up, and the sudden news was very important to him. Not to mention anything else, the captured soldiers were all brothers from the Central Plains, and he had the obligation to save them no matter what. On the other hand, he also subconsciously considered that this matter would be of great benefit to him.
"I ask you, are there any senior generals in the captured Sui army?"
"When the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo in the second attack, first the Liaohe River. Our army ambushed the Sui army and captured the general Mai Tiebian in the battle formation. However, when he was captured, he had only half a breath and died within a long time. Later, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui paid for his body. During the Battle of Sashui, Yuwen Shu led nine troops to attack Pyongyang, and was defeated by the general of Yizhi in Sashui, and the entire army was completely destroyed. In that battle, we killed 200,000 Sui army and captured nearly 90,000 people. Among them, the general of Zuotuan Guard Xin Shixiong was surrounded, but this man refused to surrender. In the end, we killed 200,000 Sui army and captured nearly 90,000 people. Among them, the general of Zuotuan Guard Xin Shixiong was surrounded, but this man refused to surrender.
He was shot to death by arrows."
"I asked if there were any captive senior generals who were still alive? For example, General Hu Ben, General Ying Yang, General Twelve Guards?"
Chen Kefu remembered that Luo Lin's father Luo Hu was General Zuo Yiwei, and Li Benlei, who was the general of Hu Ben at that time, had three sons, both generals of Yingyang, and even his two grandsons were also the captain of Yueqi.
Although he was also very concerned about other people's situation, he was more concerned about the situation of these people. After all, Luo Hu was trapped in the enemy's formation and was not killed on the spot. The old man's third son and two grandson were also trapped in the enemy's opponent when breaking through the battlefield, and it is very likely that he was still alive.
Li Benlei and Luo Lin are both his right-hand men. If he could help find their lost relatives on the battlefield, then the two of them would definitely follow him even more in the future. Moreover, Luo Lin's father was also a third-rank general, and he was definitely a general with a rich battle formation. The old man's children and grandchildren were also elite middle-level officers. If they were still alive and could join their Northeast Army, then they would undoubtedly add a lot of combat power to him.
Yuan Gaitong recalled carefully, "The 300,000 troops who were defeated by Sashui that day belonged to the Ninth Army, and only more than 2,000 people escaped. It can be said that except for a few senior generals who led the way, most of the generals of the Ninth Army were killed in battle. However, some were seriously injured and captured. As far as I know, there seemed to be hundreds of captured officers above the sixth rank, but the generals of the Twelve Guards only had one Mai Tie Staff and one Xin Shixiong, and they were all dead, and there seemed to be no living one."
"I'm not talking about the general of the twelve guards, but about the general of the twelve guards, such as the General Luo Hu of the Zuo Yigu? Do you have any impressions?"
"I'm not very clear about this. You have to ask my brother about these questions. He is the one who knows best about Lu Yuanziyou. As long as you give me a pen, I will tell my brother about the exchange of prisoners and let him exchange those prisoners with you. At that time, no matter whether you are looking for Luo Hu or Zhang Hu, you will be clear as soon as you check it."
Chen Kefu was silent for a moment and thought about it carefully. Exchange of prisoners was indeed a good way. If possible, he would have to get those prisoners back.
"Zhang Jin, you send someone to tie up all the seven thousand Liao people and send them to the prisoner camp, so that the people in the logistics camp can take good care of them. We have great use for these people. As for this brother of Dalu, I will send someone to detain him alone."
After Zhang Jin rushed up the hillside with his men and captured all the more than 7,000 remaining people from the disarmed Liao army, Chen Kefu gave an order and continued to lead his men to the south mountain. There was the main master Yuan Taizuo. This kid led more than 13,000 men to fight for so many days, but he refused to surrender. Now Chen Kefu wants to give them another chance.
A cavalry rushed over, "Commander, the Liao people surrounded by the Nanshan Mountains launched a breakthrough, and more than 10,000 people rushed down with no chance."
When Chen Kefu heard this, he immediately rode a war horse and said to the troops behind him, "Go out immediately and go to the foot of the Nanshan Mountain."
It has been the fifth day since Yuan Taizuo was surrounded. In the past five days, he tried dozens of breakthroughs, but the more he got to the back, the less hopeless he broke out. On that day, he led the elite troops to attack the weak right wing of the Sui army, and instead ignored his central army. He originally wanted to take risks and defeat the Sui army camp first, but he did not expect that he would be the one who defeated in the end. Moreover, he was defeated so miserably, and could not break out of 80,000 people and horses. He was blocked in this canyon, and finally forced to the mountain where the heaven could not go to the ground.
The weather is bright and the sun is shining today, and he also knew that this was a good opportunity for the Sui army to attack them. It was not that he had thought of surrendering, but others could surrender, but he could not surrender. He was the eldest son of the eastern kingdom and the eldest son of the great pair of Lu Yuanziyou. The next patriarch of the Yuan tribe is the next eastern kingdom in the kingdom, and it may even be the future grand duo Lu.
