Chapter 15 Rewards
But after Mo Jiu hangs Geng Zhongming with a bowstring, he cuts Geng Zhongming's head off his clothes and takes off his armor and fles.
Along the way, he and other soldiers who had survived death could barely wrap themselves in the cold by picking up dead people's clothes.
The heroes in Tongguan attach great importance to equipment, but for some reason, they disdained the more precious war horses and seemed to be able to ride.
So Mo Jiu and others took the opportunity to gather a lot of war horses. At this time, Duoduo's army had entered the city to fight the heroes, and the gates of Tongguan were no longer congested. Mo Jiu and others took the opportunity to escape from Tongguan City.
After leaving the city, Mo Jiu and other relatives did not return to the camp, but ran behind Duoduo's army, constantly watching and wandering, but they had two ideas in their minds.
If the army led by Duoduo wins, then they will return to Tongguan to grab some credit.
If Duoduo is defeated, it will be too late to escape.
As expected, Duoduo's Qing army was also defeated. When Mo Jiu and others saw that the momentum was not good, they simply did not return to the camp and fled directly bypassed the camp.
When choosing a large and small road fork, Mo Jiuxiang thought that Duoduo's team would definitely walk on the main road. He was afraid that he would run into Duoduo's people and pursue his crime of running away, so he took his men and horses to go around the path.
When they arrived at this pine forest, the relatives were exhausted. They stopped and entered the pine forest to rest. They were worried that they would be discovered by the pursuers and even the torches were extinguished. But they could not imagine that even if they reached this point, they could still collide with Duoduo's central army. It was only because of fate.
At this time, Mo Jiu saw Duoduo and hurriedly presented Geng Zhongming's head, and then told Duoduo the lies he had thought along the way.
The general idea is that after the battle in the city failed, the prince's team was dispersed. When his relatives entered and exited the army and broke into the siege, King Huaishun Geng Zhongming had already been killed. In order to steal Geng Zhongming's head, he and his relatives fought countless bloody battles. Finally, they killed a young general with silver spear and white robe, and then snatched Geng Zhongming's head back.
Mo Jiu knew the importance of details in lies, so he told the imaginary young general in white robe that was extremely vivid. As for how Geng Zhongming died, how his own group of people escaped and did not dare to return to the camp, watching Duoduo's defeat outside the city, he naturally vaguely took over the unbearable things.
When Duoduo saw that Geng Zhongming had already died in Tongguan, he felt sorry for him. He also comforted Mo Jiu with kind words and asked his personal soldiers to take over Geng Zhongming's head and store it for the time being, and then buried thickly after returning to the capital.
When he turned around and saw Mo Jiu and others appearing to be defeated with armor, he was very displeased.
Thinking that there were many shady pursuers a few miles away from the back of his team, he had been delayed here for a while, so he prepared to let Mo Jiu and others return to the team as soon as possible and evacuate the dangerous place as soon as possible.
At this moment, Duoduo suddenly felt blessed in his heart with a flash of thought, and suddenly had a plan to get rid of the pursuers, so he ordered the generals around him to say:
"Whoever has any extra horses? If you have never ridden a man, they are strong and powerful, pick out a hundred horses and give them this--well, Mo Jiu, right? Take Mo Jiu and the others over! Speed is faster!"
Mo Jiu and the others actually had horses, but they were all picked up from the battlefield, and they were inevitably of different quality. Moreover, there were many saddles and other things that were stripped down by the heroes, so they looked a little embarrassed.
But unexpectedly, Prince Yu gave such a generous gift. Mo Jiu couldn't help but be grateful and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. He said secretly:
"I have been pregnant with talents for many years, but I don't expect that I will be blessed in disguise today. I believe that Prince Yu has developed a love for talents!
Should I be loyal immediately and surrender to Prince Yu, or should I be a little so reserved to express my nostalgia for Prince Huaishun, so that Prince Yu can know my loyalty, righteousness and courage, and will not forget the male temperament of the old master.
This...this incident happened a little suddenly, and it was really a bit embarrassing!"
Duoduo's Eight Banners generals were immediately indignant when they saw Duoduo doing this. These Han soldiers were completely unable to fight, but they dragged their backs on one.
Besides, Mo Jiu, as a relative, lost his master to the enemy, always had the crime of protecting his master. Even if he snatched Geng Zhongming's head back afterwards, it was not worthy of any credit. How could he give them such a big gift?
And it would be fine if this matter was normal. Now it was the time to escape, and it can be said that horses are life. These Eight Banners children are not enough, so how can they give good horses to these Eight Banners Han soldiers?
But even though he was very reluctant, Duoduo had already ordered the order at this time, and he had to send someone to count the horses, but he couldn't help but curse and complain.
Duoduo didn't care about this. After his subordinates sent all the horses, he walked up and took off his golden helmet and put it on Mo Jiu's head.
Duoduo's actions really scared Mo Jiu and his mind was blank.
"This...what is this? Although according to the custom of the Qing Dynasty, you can obtain property by snatching back the corpse of my comrades, even if I inherit the title for my merits, I will at most accept the title of King Huaishun... And according to the custom, I will not directly accept the title of King Huaishun. I have to reduce the title before the title of King Chengxu. At most, I will only accept the title of King Huaishun.
Why did Duoduo take off his hat to me? Could it be that he was defeated and humiliated, and Wuyan returned to Jiangdong and took this opportunity to pass the title to me?
The title of Prince Yu is a hereditary ****... This... is a bit too polite. Duoduo has no son... But I seem to be older than Duoduo..."
In an instant, Mo Jiu's mind was full of twists and turns, and he didn't know how many absurd thoughts came out, and he kept saying: "Understanding, death penalty..."
Kneeling on the ground, keeping kowtowing.
But Duoduo said slowly, "You are trying to steal the corpse of King Huaishun. This is a great contribution, so you should reward them. These more than a hundred horses and the prince's armor are your rewards. This dynasty has a legal system. On the battlefield, you can steal the corpse of the dead, and you can get half of your property, wife and daughter.
But the laws are this laws, but I, the Qing Dynasty, can’t really divide you into half of the throne. So I will give you my armor to be considered a merit to make up for you. Since I really appreciate you this armor, there will naturally be no such thing as a traitor. You can just accept it with peace of mind."
"Oh, it turns out that I just gave me a set of armor. It seems that I was thinking too much..." Mo Jiu was a little discouraged when he heard this. However, this prince's armor looked good and should be more arduous than the reward of the yellow jacket. I don't know if I could see the third level of official position with this armor...
Mo Jiu was in a state of great deeds, and was in a state of great excitement. He also wanted to quickly confess his thoughts to Duoduo. He even wanted to take out the jade pendant that King Huaishun gave him before his death and gave it to Duoduo.
But at this time, I heard that it was not Chengjue, so I was disappointed, so I stopped taking out the jade pendant. I thought that when I turned around and saw Geng Zhongming's youngest son, I would get an extra reward for giving him the jade pendant.
Duoduo naturally didn't know the twists and turns in Mo Jiu's heart at this time. After fulfilling all the achievements of Mo Jiu one by one, he suddenly changed his tone and said with a stern face:
"We have finished discussing this merit now. Then it's time to discuss your sins. As the saying goes, generals should clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Can this reward and punishment be confused?"
As a relative, he lost his master in the enemy's formation. According to military rules, I will tie up more than a hundred relatives now, and all of them have military laws. Are you not wronged?"
"This...this...this...this...this is your life!"
When Mo Jiu heard this, he and the more than a hundred kisses behind him were immediately frightened as if he was ashamed to the ground.
As the saying goes, you will be afraid of whatever you are afraid of. Unexpectedly, Prince Yu Duoduo still grasped this point. Although it sounds like Prince Yu seems to have something to say below, but who dares to say that this is not afraid of being afraid of it?
The Iron Hat Prince of the Qing Dynasty, the younger brother of the Regent Dorgon. Isn’t it as easy as crushing an ant to kill a few Eight Banners Han troops?
When Duoduo saw that everyone was scared, he was very satisfied. He nodded, slowed down his tone and said:
"Although you have lost your master on the battlefield, you have no intention of making a mistake after all. In the end, you can still snatch the master's head regardless of life and death, which is considered loyal and honest.
Of course, merits and demerits cannot be offset. When it comes to sins, you should be punished. However, God has the virtue of being alive, and on this battlefield, I am not willing to kill my own soldiers at the forefront.
I think this way, you might as well make meritorious deeds with guilt. At this time, there were a small group of stubborn bandits behind my army, who were chasing me, the Qing Dynasty soldiers reluctantly left me.
I am punishing you to lead the pursuers away and make up for your mistakes. Are you willing to do this?"
After Duoduo finished saying this, his generals suddenly realized and understood the intention of the prince to send the horse. They couldn't help but give thumbs up and praise the prince's kind heart and cherish his servants.
Duoduo was also secretly proud of his heart. The thought he suddenly had was because the pursuers behind him kept shouting "The one with golden helmet and green armor is Duoduo, and he can kill him and get the Marquis of Wanhu". This sentence became a heart-wrenching problem in his heart.
Although the pursuers are far away now and there is no sound to hear. However, his armor is indeed too conspicuous. If things go wrong, it will be a burden.
I remember that Cao Cao's army was defeated and finally fled with his beard and robe. So it can be seen that this Prince Ar is too eye-catching, and it will be a disaster sooner or later on when he wears it on his body. Now, people pretend to be themselves and lead the pursuers away is also a clever plan.
Moreover, he only "abandoned his robe" but did not "cut his beards". In this way, he was also defeated in the war, and it seemed that he was a little bit higher than Prime Minister Cao during the Three Kingdoms.
Mo Jiuwen, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Duoduo's words, and didn't know how many greetings to Duoduo's matriarchal tribe members, and said in his heart, "This little wild boar has no good intentions. He is so bad that he runs away. When he turns around and runs out, he runs into the hero of Tongguan and tear you down alive!"
But on the surface, he had to act like a thankful look and kowtowed repeatedly. He whispered to the personal soldiers behind him: "We are willing to make meritorious contributions and serve the prince!"
When Duoduo saw that Mo Jiu and others were doing their job, he took off his armor and put it on Mo Jiu. He also ordered the personal soldiers and generals around him to learn from his own way and let the Han soldiers such as Mo Jiu wear it.
At this time, all the generals of the Eight Banners admired the prince's magical strategy. They took off their armor and stomachs, especially those with the flags behind them, and even removed them a few more sides, tied them up and inserted them behind the Han army of Mo Jiu.
In the military, these back-protecting flags are not used to protect the back, but to lead the direction of the army and boost morale.
It is often carried by the fierce soldiers in the army. When the two armies are chasing and chasing, if they see one of their own flags shaking in the other side, the morale of the people and horses will naturally be as strong as rainbows. If the flag does not fall, the morale will not fall.
These back guard flags are of various styles depending on their official positions. But there is only one thing that remains unchanged, that is, each flag is made very conspicuously, and even in the back formation, it can be seen clearly. Lead the soldiers behind to charge forward.
Of course, the purpose at this time is not to let Mo Jiu and others lead their soldiers, but to lead the enemy's pursuers.
After a while, various back-protecting flags were inserted on Mo Jiu and others. Tiger embroidered, dragon-patterned, gold-pinched, and fire-flaming, can be said to be everything.
Mo Jiu and others looked at each other. With the back of the flag, everyone seemed a lot more heroic and upright. Unfortunately, their faces were like bitter gourd. They all thought that they had just left the dragon pond and entered the tiger's den. Is this errand that attracts pursuers really fun? I'm afraid this time I'll really lose my life.
After everyone finished the dressing, Duoduo looked at it but felt it was not enough, so he asked his subordinates to split a lot of torches, and Mo Jiu each held a torch in his hands and inserted a torch behind his butt. From a distance, it seemed that there were many people and much more conspicuous, so he was satisfied.
Later, Duoduo was afraid that Mo Jiu and others would not be able to do anything. He also praised Mo Jiu and others for their loyalty and courage. If they could meet each other in the future, they would be rewarded, rewarded, and used, etc.
Mo Jiu vaguely said, but he didn't agree. He just messed with new recruits with such unnutritional soup. He was already tired of hearing the old soldier. He didn't want to get into trouble with Duoduo anymore, thinking that it was important to escape as soon as possible.
So he and his hundreds of personal soldiers rode on horses, held torches in both hands, walked through the pine forest, and rushed straight to the depths of Mount Kou to the south...
