Chapter 217: On meritorious deeds

Hearing Lu Da's persuasion to surrender, Wei Dingguo looked firm and replied sternly without hesitation. "Rebel, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong, and you actually want to rebel. Sooner or later, you will be annihilated by the imperial army. I am not careful, and you will be trapped in your tricks and have nothing to say. But it is impossible for me, Wei Dingguo, to surrender! There is no surrendered Wei Dingguo! Don't waste your time!"

Lu Da shouted loudly: "It is not easy for you to develop your current local skills. Don't you want to make achievements and make a name for yourself? General Wei, the government is incompetent and the treacherous ministers are in power. You are defeated today and have lost so much military, horse, money and food, will the court let you go easily? With your local skills, if you die like this, wouldn't it be a pity? Look back at the thousands of soldiers behind you. If you want to die for righteousness, do you also want them to be a burial for you?"

When Wei Dingguo heard this, he felt sad when he thought of the court's style of treating civil servants and treating military generals harshly.

The court will not let it go, that is, whoever tells me to be defeated? But...

He turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him.

These people have been trained through hard work, especially the five hundred fire soldiers, who have worked hard to get them up, and each of them is very precious.

Since attacking Qingzhou, two or three hundred people have been left, and almost all of them are covered in arrow wounds, with crooked armor and slanted, and their morale has been extremely low. Each face cannot hide his fear and despair.

Needless to say, Wei Dingguo also knew that the soldiers behind him wanted to surrender.

Wei Dingguo does not blame his subordinates for not being insincere. They are not like themselves, nor are they civil officials. They are all a bunch of small soldiers, all of which can be said to be the boss of the family and the humble salary to support the whole family.

If they die, their families will lose food.

General Shan Tinggui of the Holy Water hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Brother Wei, the court treats us like straw dogs. Otherwise, we might as well surrender!"

Hearing that Shan Tinggui wanted to surrender, looking at his subordinates' longing eyes, Wei Dingguo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, shouted to Lu Da in a deep voice: "I want me to surrender unless you promise me a condition!"

"What conditions?" Luda did not dare to agree rashly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"After we surrender, you must treat our subordinates well and not treat them harshly!"

"This is not a problem! The Sa family can guarantee that they will definitely treat them as brothers and will never treat them seriously!"

Seeing that Lu Da treated him very respectfully, and what he said was very reasonable. Wei Dingguo sighed and knelt down and said, "It's not that I, Wei Dingguo, is not loyal to the court. I really want to give my subordinates a way out, so I can't let Wei Dingguo not rely on him. I am willing to hold the general's horse and hold the whip. I am willing to ask the general to take it in!"

Wei Dingguo agreed to surrender, and Shan Tinggui quickly knelt down. "Please take the general without hesitation!"

When Lu Da saw this, he hurriedly helped Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui. "With two generals helping each other, it can be said that they are like tigers! You two will follow me to return to Yidu first. I will send someone to invite your two treasures to Yidu!"

When he heard Lu Daneng, he thought of the safety of his family. Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, General for your compassion!"

In the Yidu Prefecture Hall in Qingzhou, Lu Da sat upright in the seat, quietly waiting for news that Lin Chong, Shi Jin and others were pursuing the Zeng family army.

"See General! The last general has led his troops to drive the Zeng family out of Qingzhou!" Shi Jin came to the court with a spring breeze on his face, and immediately shouted with his fists when he saw Lu Da.

"Hahaha... In this way, Qingzhou can have a certain degree of stability!" Lu Da replied with a smile: "Have those corpses been cleaned up?"

It was June, and it would be no joke if the corpses were not dealt with as soon as possible or if there was a plague.

Many diseases caused by viruses in later generations were cured without cure, let alone now!

"All have been dealt with! The bodies of officers and soldiers have been cremated and handed over to Brother Wei and Brother Shan to send them back to their families. As for the Zeng family, except for more than a hundred seriously injured soldiers, they were sent to the apprentices of Doctor An Shenshen Doctor An as a practice!" Lin Chong said here, thinking of the serious injuries in the hands of those who were seriously injured in the hands of those who were born and disciples who had only been studying for less than half a year, and the tragic situation of life being worse than death. He shook his head, threw away the terrifying memories of his mind, and continued: "As for those corpses, they were also asked to be dissected by Doctor An, and the bones were made into specimens, saying that they would be used for the apprentice to learn the bone structure!"

When I heard Lin Chong’s report and heard that nearly thousands of corpses were about to be dissected into specimens, a gust of cold wind blew in the court for a moment.

Lu Da said with a forced smile: "Brother Cao, what are the results of the battle these days?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, Cao Zheng came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Report to the General, after rough statistics, a total of 4,500 Zeng's army came to attack our Qingzhou this time. More than 1,100 people were killed by our army, nearly 2,000 were captured, and more than 400 war horses were also captured. The remaining defeated soldiers fled with Zeng Tu and others, probably back to Lingzhou. After our army pursued thirty or forty miles, because we still had to attack the officers and soldiers, we will return to the army as the general's order!"

"In addition to the Zeng family army, there are 2,000 officers and soldiers. More than 800 people were killed by our army and more than 1,000 were captured. The other defeated soldiers fled everywhere, and their whereabouts were unknown!"

Since Lu Da almost openly rebelled, Cao Zheng's attitude towards Lu Da was even more respectful and did not dare to act rashly at all.

After hearing this, Lu Da clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, this time I defeated the strong enemies one after another to ensure Qingzhou is not lost. It is all up to all brothers to fight bravely! I, Lu Da, thank you all!" After that, Lu Da bowed to Lin Chong and others seriously.

"I dare not! All of this depends on the general's courage, otherwise how could we defeat a powerful enemy by just a few of us?" Lin Chong and others hurriedly clasped their fists and shouted.

"You brothers don't have to be humble. If you have any merits, you have to reward them. Lin Chong stepped forward to obey the order!" Lu Da shouted.
