Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen
"How is it?" Yan Guang wiped the oil from his hands with a mouthful of hot meat buns. "Is it all done almost?"
"They have almost been solved." Zhu Qinglan nodded, then pointed to the prisoners who were at least a dozen acres of land not far away and said. "Except for a few who escaped from the encirclement, the rest are all here."
“How many people?”
"I haven't counted it in detail, but I have a rough estimate. There are about 23,400,000 including the injured."
"What about Wang Tianjie?" Yan Guang was a little interested in the leader of the Tongmenghui.
"I caught it, but Wang Tianjie finally wanted to lead people to break through the flanks. Finally, he was shot several times when breaking through. He was sent to the field hospital just now. I don't know if he could survive." Zhu Qinglan glanced at Yan Guang. He had never thought that this combat plan would be successful. But the fact is that the plan was not only successful, but also perfectly completed.
Although, in order to achieve this combat plan, Yan Guang used quite despicable means.
"Governor, do you really have to pay them a trip?" Zhu Qinglan said everything in the void with his right hand. "Do you want it..."
"No need, it's just a few hundred thousand silver dollars. Less than a million can get a crucial few hours. This deal is still very cost-effective." Yan Guang said to an officer beside him. "Precaution all those people, and each person will be 30 yuan acres each for leaving."
The Shu army's resistance was still very determined in the desperate situation. Seeing that more than an hour had passed, the speed of breakthroughs on the front and the two wings was still very slow. Think about it, if the Shu army could really hold on until the reinforcements arrived, the combat plan this time would probably fail. In order to maintain his prestige within the Sichuan army, Yan Guang defeated Wang Tianjie, who was personally supervising the battle on the front line with a very despicable move.
"All-stop" is the name of this move.
When the sounds of "submitted people will not kill" and "30 yuan of ocean travel expenses per person" sounded on the battlefield, the morale of the Shu army was greatly shaken. Especially when they saw that someone really stood up to surrender, many people simply threw away the weapons in their hands and walked out with their heads in their arms.
Seeing this situation, Wang Tianjie knew that he could no longer hold on until Zhang Peijue's reinforcements arrived, so he led hundreds of soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to the Sichuan Army to break through the flanks, intending to sneak back to Tongliang on the mountain road where the cavalry could not catch up. Unfortunately, not only were the hundreds of soldiers killed or injured, but he himself was also shot three times. If Wang Tianjie's adjutant later told the Sichuan Army soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield that he was Wang Tianjie, he would have died of excessive bleeding at this moment.
However, even if he was not dead, Wang Tianjie was only left with one breath. Moreover, the medical treatment of this era was behind, and penicillin and other things would take at least a few decades to appear. Even if Wang Tianjie was sent to a field hospital, it is hard to say whether he could be rescued.
At this moment, Yang Shan came over. "Governor, why let those people go? Are there still many soldiers in the First Division and the Fifth Division? Although these Shu troops have no combat effectiveness, they have at least been on the battlefield. As long as they can train a little, they can become qualified soldiers. Why not join them in the First Division and the Fifth Division..."
Zhu Qinglan and several other officers on the side nodded when they heard this. There were 23,400 people. Except for those who were seriously injured and unable to join the army, the remaining one happened to be the number of two divisions.
However, Yan Guang just shook his head. "It doesn't matter if the people from the Tongmenghui are there, but there are too many people from the Brother-Laohui within the Shu army. I'm afraid that if they are incorporated into the Sichuan Army, what problems will happen after they are incorporated into the Sichuan Army." In the future, the associations must be suppressed. Yan Guang doesn't want to recruit a large number of associations to his army now. "But not all the members of the Shu army are from the Brother-Laohui. Let's do this. After returning to Chengdu, I'll ask Ding Han to send someone to distinguish. If it's the Brother-Laohui, I'll send money to let them leave. If it's not as long as you're willing to stay, all of them will be included in the battle sequence of the Sichuan Army."
Yan Guang also laughed as he said that. "Didn't that guy Peng Xiu always feel entangled about being a brigade commander? All the people selected this time were incorporated into their brigade, so let him be a division commander."

"Defeated..."
"Yes, I heard that Lord Wang's 30,000 people were wiped out..."
"So what should we do now? Keep moving forward?"
"That's asking for death. Lord Wang's 30,000 people were wiped out. What's the use of only 20,000 of us?"
Seeing the troops retreating from Tongnan, with only a few hundred men left, Zhang Peijue's two town soldiers were discussing, and as for morale, not much left has been reduced.
A Shu army officer with a blood-stained bandage on his head slowly told Zhang Peijue and other officers what happened in Tongnan. "...Governor, sir, this is what happened..."
"In this way, it is indeed not Zixiang's responsibility..." Zhang Peijue murmured after listening to the officer's narration.
"Where is Zixiang?" Wu Yuzhang said anxiously. His relationship with Wang Tianjie within the entire Shu army can be said to be the best.
However, the officer only lowered his head and spoke after a while. "When breaking through, I saw Lord Wang breaking through the flank with hundreds of people, but later he was caught up by the Sichuan Army. I'm afraid he had already..."
Hearing the officer's answer, Wu Yuzhang sat on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Peijue could not control Wu Yuzhang's mentality, but just looked at the other Shu army and said, "Everyone, what do you think we should do now."
When Yang Shukan, Zhang Dasan and others looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.
"Governor, if we take advantage of the opportunity of the Sichuan Army receiving prisoners of war..." Just when the upper class of the Shu Army didn't know what to do, an officer from a patrol battalion came forward.
"Raising?" Zhang Peijue's expression moved, but before he could speak, a leader of the Brother Laohui next to him had already said.
"No, no, didn't you hear it just now? The combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is amazing. The strength of our 6 regiments cannot even stop them. If the Sichuan Army has more than two regiments in its idle state during the raid, wouldn't we betray the trap?"
The boss's words were quickly echoed by others, and the officer also knew that his people were rude, so he consciously stepped down.
Although Zhang Peijue was very interested in this proposal, he saw that everyone around him opposed it. Moreover, he only had two towns at present, so the possibility of a successful raid is indeed not very high...
"Then let's go back to Tongliang first."
