Chapter 1337

This was enough to show the intensity of this battle!

This is the cruelty of war.

But he had seen too many such scenes during the Defense of Changan, so his state of mind only fluctuated slightly.

War has nothing to do with right or wrong, only positions.

For the Xiongnu, they must target Da Qian because only with a balance of power can they survive.

Otherwise, they would be the unlucky ones.

But for Da Qian, there was no choice; if they didn't send troops to destroy the Xiongnu, they would never be able to destroy the Six Kingdoms of the world and complete the great cause of unification.

"Fortunately... I am a capitalist, not an ordinary small soldier."

Gao Yang muttered to himself.

Afterward, he said, "Pass the order down: upon returning to Changan, this official will slaughter pigs and sheep for them, drink with them, and celebrate this battle!"

"At the same time, this official will personally request merit for them from His Majesty; wrap the brothers who died in battle in horse hides and bring them back to Changan together to be laid to rest!"

"The compensation for brothers who died in battle will be tripled, and this official will pay out of his own pocket."

Following Gao Yang's words, Pu Duo and the others all widened their eyes, extremely excited.

"My Lord, do the Xiongnu who died in battle also receive this treatment?"

Pu Duo asked Gao Yang with hesitation.

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then directly said,

"What Xiongnu? Since they have defected to my Da Qian, protected our country, and died on the battlefield, they are all Da Qian people and should be treated equally!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Pu Duo and Zhao Bushi knelt before Gao Yang one after another, their eyes filled with tears.

"We two are here to thank Lord Gao on behalf of the brothers who died!"

The two spoke, their voices ringing out.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? Instead, this official wants to ask: since I stayed at the very back, do you have any complaints in your hearts?"

Pu Duo and Zhao Bushi shook their heads one after another.

"The Lord's life is precious; the brothers all understand this. And not only do the brothers have no complaints, but on the contrary, they are truly relieved!"

"Oh? Why?"

Gao Yang looked curious.

Pu Duo and Zhao Bushi looked at each other, then Pu Duo bit the bullet and said, "The little one will dare to speak some heartfelt words: because if a general like Lord Gao were gone, where would the brothers get such good treatment?"

"For us, the best general is one like the Lord: rigorous training, but a meal of meat every few days, well-fed, good treatment, and the military merit earned is not feared to be stolen; even if one dies in battle, there are no worries behind."

"The brothers all know very well that with such treatment, we should fight for the Lord!"

Gao Yang heard this, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The words are rough but the logic is sound; it should be so!"

"You can go down and tell the brothers that although I, Gao Yang, am poisonous and have a bad reputation, I am not a heartless person, nor will I discard the millstone after the grain is ground!"

"Pu Duo, add another double to the rewards for the other soldiers, and you kid, add double!"

Gao Yang said very generously.

He didn't have much of anything, but he had plenty of silver.

He was already in debt for tens of millions of taels; these were not issues.

Pu Duo and Zhao Bushi's expressions brightened upon hearing this.

They hadn't expected that flattering would increase their rewards by another level.

Zhao Bushi was very tempted and said, eager to move, "My Lord, I, Zhao Bushi, also have some heartfelt words I want to say to the Lord."

Gao Yang looked over.

Their gazes met and intertwined in the air.

Zhao Bushi's face turned red, and after a long while, he said, "My Lord, I'd better keep holding it in."

The clash came to a complete end, and after cleaning up the battlefield, Gao Yang also returned to camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, a messenger hurriedly stepped forward and said,

"My Lord, the Grand General has ordered that after you return, you should go to Captain Wang's tent."

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Captain Wang is still unconscious?"

Is this guy still pretending to faint?

"It is said that Captain Wang fell off his horse on the battlefield, and the military physician fears the coma is due to head trauma; now, several generals are all in Captain Wang's tent."

Gao Yang did not speak and headed straight for Wang Xiao's tent.

After entering the tent.

Gao Tianlong, Lu Zhen, Sun Jingbian, and Li Zhenxiao were all by the bedside, and there was also a gray-haired military physician, sweating profusely.

Wang Xiao lay on the sickbed, secretly complaining.

"Yang'er, you're here? Captain Wang is in a coma and won't wake up; you understand medical arts, come and take a look quickly!"

Gao Tianlong shouted.

He didn't know the reason and thought Wang Xiao was truly in trouble.

Wang Zhong saw Gao Yang and also thought of Gao Yang's past methods, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord Gao, I know there is a gap between us, but I implore you to save my son."

"Did he really fall and hurt his head?"

"This old man will kneel to you!"

Wang Zhong walked quickly, making a gesture to kneel.

At his age, he naturally couldn't really kneel to Gao Yang; it was just to cooperate with these words.

Ordinary people wouldn't let him kneel either.

"Old General Wang, this must absolutely not be done!"

Gao Yang made a gesture to support him, but in reality, he grabbed Wang Zhong's arm and pushed him down.

Thump.

Wang Zhong knelt down.
