Chapter 616 Advice
“We found out the location of Beirong!” Yan Laoer said.
General Xue Qi frowned, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn’t believe it.
Yan Yu knew in her heart that what General Xue Qi was struggling with was not this, but the "hard work" of his uncle. They had to track down the fleeing Beirong and find other scattered gathering places on the grassland.
Cut the grass and root out the roots!
Although Longxing and Fengming were also harassed by the Beirong all year round, in the past ten years, only Huju was killed by the Beirong in the city.
The hatred between Huju and Beirong is as deep as the sea, and they are irreconcilable.
Beirong has exhausted its strength, and the militia has also done enough along the way.
Her uncle has always been prudent in his work. If he doesn't move, he will be done.
The vigilante group has seen blood several times, and their courage has improved, but when it comes to killing women and children with a knife... I'm afraid they still won't be able to do it.
The soldiers on the border did not have these scruples about this.
They are used to seeing life and death, and they understand the cruelty of war.
The weeds cannot be wiped out, but they grow again when the spring breeze blows!
This truth is known to everyone who has guarded the border for many years.
To restore peace to Guanzhou, we cannot be benevolent as a woman.
The eldest brother, the Crown Prince, was powerful but weak and could not subdue General Wei, who commanded the three armies.
The latter strongly advocated the sacrifice of prisoners in Beijing.
Sending alive Beirong over would naturally demonstrate his achievements better than individual heads.
From a practical point of view, the number of people, carriages, and horses required to transport the goods along the way...just a simple calculation is a very large expense.
At the moment, Guanzhou is, without exaggeration, almost running out of ammunition and food.
Don’t you know, General Wei?
Yan Yu doesn’t believe it.
This move may seem like a great success.
Once the Beirong prisoners are brought back, let alone the capital, as long as they enter the pass, even the King of England will not be able to make the decision.
The Guanzhou frontier army first killed and then reported after leaving the border. If there is another one who kills prisoners of war without permission, then I guess the prince’s father will have to ask his son, do you want to rebel against your father? !
The only ones who can take action here, after thinking about it, are them Huju.
Who made Beirong have such a big feud with them? Some extreme behaviors are not incomprehensible.
The prisoners must be dealt with before they enter the gate!
There is no one more suitable to be in charge than Mr. Xue Qi.
In the battle to break the city that day, the frontier troops suffered heavy losses. Repaying blood debts with blood is the right thing to do and is beyond reproach.
In addition, Mr. Xue Qi’s identity can be regarded as the brother-in-law of the King of England and an elder of the prince’s mother’s family. With this relationship, if you want to punish him, you have to weigh one or two.
If it happens that General Xue Qi leads the Huju border troops to achieve military successes, the merits and demerits will be balanced, and there will be more room for change.
The Beirong scattered on the grassland are the military merits of overcoming the enemy.
There are several key points in what the uncle asked his father to bring to Mr. Xue Qi.
Yan Yu was thinking about it when Mr. Xue Qi had already read it out.
“Kill all the Beirong troops and quell the border chaos, rob their cattle and sheep, and rescue the people of Guanzhou...Military merit! After this battle, where else can there be military merit?!”
General Xue Qi's expression became more and more determined, and his eyes stared directly at the location of the Beirong barracks, glowing with a thief's light.
…
On this day, the Guanzhou army won a great victory and captured many Beirong soldiers.
The army was in no hurry to return to the customs. The various supplies captured, especially the herds of cattle and sheep, made Kuhaha's soldiers red-eyed.
The prince ordered the army to rest for another two days.
The auxiliary soldiers slaughtered cattle and sheep, and the troops on the three sides cheered loudly.
In the main tent, Shi Yunyan looked at the map carefully with both hands raised and lowered, comparing it with the hand-drawn map on the table from time to time.
“It’s rare for a child as young as a child to be able to draw like this.”
Wang Deshan glanced at the rough lines on the table map and thought that Guaisun's skills did not end there. This was because her uncle was worried that her talent would be exposed and people would be concerned about it, so he asked her to draw it temporarily.
He was able to draw like this in a hurry, matching up with the landmarks on the map, which shows how capable his good grandson is!
It’s really hard to cover up that strength, but you can still hide the rest.
“Counting the time, are they probably going to enter the border gate soon?” Shi Yunyan asked softly.
Wang Deshan also whispered: "With those many Beirong soldiers on the road, and the Guanzhou people who were rescued, some walked slower. It's pitiful. They were tortured to the point of losing their dignity. Many of them were suffering. I finally waited for us to come and rescue her... I was so happy that I went crazy."
Quickly raising his eyes, he saw the bulging veins in the prince's hands behind his back. The prince quickly closed his eyes and said softly: "This is the closest to Huju Pass. Mr. Tian loves his people like his sons, and his subordinates are all capable. They will definitely be able to kill people." Make arrangements well. The old slave heard that Mr. Tian has returned to Huju in advance to make preparations. Yan Hushu and a group of government officials protected the people entering the pass, and the Huju border troops transported Beirong prisoners behind..."
The prince paused and said in a low voice: "General Wei is too cautious. What flowers can a group of bereaved dogs produce? The old slave checked them one by one. The ropes that bundled the people were strong. Mr. Xue was responsible for transporting them. Still not at ease, he sent two more teams to follow, saying that it was the merits of the three border troops. Huju alone was not enough to **** him, but Long Xing and Feng Ming also had to be escorted. How could this be fair? He is so particular. Why didn’t you tell Huju’s people to take some of the slaughtered cattle and sheep away…”
“Your Majesty!” he called softly outside the account while holding a book.
Wang Deshan stopped chattering and quickly walked over to open the curtain.
He came in with a book and a food box. When he opened it, the smell of meat overflowed.
boiled beef, roasted leg of lamb.
"Your Majesty, General Wei is so shameless. You obviously felt pity for the soldiers who had to go out to fight in the cold winter, so you took another two days of rest and killed cattle and sheep to reward them. Why did the guards around him tell you that it was General Wei who felt sorry for everyone? Are the soldiers admonishing you?" He said angrily while holding the book.
He has served the prince since he was a child, and he is very loyal. Naturally, he cannot see anyone plotting against the prince of his family.
Wang Deshan secretly gave Peng Shu an approving look.
That's right, boy.
Seeing the prince frowning slightly, he used a knife to shave off the meat from the mutton leg and said: "General Wei's move is a bit excessive. Even if he wants to win people's hearts, this is not the way to go. Your prince, you are still here... Holding a book , you kid doesn’t have a mouth? You should refute it on the spot!"
Hold the book and murmured in silence.
He didn't refute because he couldn't stand it. It was not his prince's idea to reward the soldiers. Someone indeed proposed it to the prince, but it was not the Wei general, but Yan Huaiwen, the secretary of the household.
Shi Yunyan thought about it for a moment, pointed to the beef and mutton on the table, and said: "Whatever the facts are, to put it bluntly, even though Yan Hu's book is not worthy of its name, it should not be replaced by others, which will waste his good intentions. Holding the book, you go and tell the soldiers that it was Yan Hushu admonishing this prince, so that he can have enough meat for these two days."
This is from yesterday. I rewrote it and it’s much more pleasing to the eye~
There is another chapter from today, just read it tomorrow, it will probably be later~
How do I feel about writing this? It seems like my uncle didn’t show up, but his shadow is everywhere. It’s a bit difficult. It’s really a challenge to my writing skills. I really tried my best, but I can’t write better ( )
