Chapter 358: Too Many Prisoners Are Troublesome
Duanxu is a fifth-grade mid-level ghost cultivator, which is equivalent to the realm of the fifth-rank Tianyuan intermediate level of a righteous path cultivator, and Feng Yiluan is only the initial level of the third-grade Mingxin realm, and he can't beat Duanxu at all.
Duanxu didn't think so, grinned, and casually used a defensive spell to block Feng Yiluan's punch.
He usually rarely makes a move, and there are more times when he is scheming than when he does it, so sometimes everyone almost ignores it, among them, Duanxu's cultivation is actually the highest, and although his strength is not the strongest, it is not a very bad level when looking at the entire continent today.
Duanxu said in a mocking manner: "Miss Luan is very strong, but she can't cross two realms to beat people at once." This is holding your breath in your heart, and you want to be angry with me?"
Feng Yiluan was bounced back by the defense around Duanru's body and took two steps back, not to mention Princess Weihua, he only rubbed his wrist and said unconvinced: "I will be able to impress you one day!"
Duanxu continued to tease: "According to Miss Luan's current situation and growth rate, I believe that there will be a day, hehe, when the time comes, I will either have a good relationship with you in advance, or slip away in advance...... Because if Miss Luan can cultivate to the fifth grade, that punch is not something anyone can afford, haha. ”
He laughed loudly, and at this time, Yuan Ruili coughed heavily, and motioned for all three of them to look at him, meaning that he had something to say.
Feng Yiluan asked, "What does General Yuan want to say?"
Yuan Rui immediately saw that the three of them were staring at him together, but he showed hesitation again, and twisted it before he opened his mouth to ask Duanxu: "Doctor Shang, ...... are you?"
"What?" Duanxu pretended to be confused, he actually knew what Yuan Ruili wanted to say.
Yuan Rui clenched his fists for a moment, and then said, "I'll tell you straight, how did you find Weihua, my lord, where did you find it?Why did you look for her? Didn't you say that you went to find the dancing shopkeeper, why did you take Princess Weihua in front of the general?"
Duanxu said: "General Yuan's series of question marks is a problem, right?"
Yuan Ruili nodded: "Yes." ”
Duanxu had a confused expression on his face, but in fact, no one knew whether he was confused or not: "Why do you ask this? Isn't Weihua the princess born to the prince of your country?"
Yuan Ruili said: "Yes, there is no mistake, but this matter will be very tricky." ”
Duanxu said with a smile: "But we have already met her at that time, when I saw her, she was holding a sword in her hand, but she was ruthless and committed suicide, what can I do? Let Weihua fend for herself in the chaos of the army? If I don't bring her, if she wants to open and is reluctant to die, sooner or later she will have to find it back, and she will run to find General Yuan, then it's not the same? It seems that the general is not sincere, and it is not good to hear it in the ears of other countries." It's better for us to take the initiative and bring her back, and we can also save the princess, and Weihua will know how grateful she will be in her heart. ”
Yuan Ruili frowned and said, "But her appearance, alas, is very troublesome." ”
Duanxu said slightly: "In this world~ everyone has it, you can't stop doing things because you're afraid of a headache, right?"
Yuan Ruili shook his head helplessly, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Let's not mention Weihua first, there are still a lot of military affairs to deal with at the moment, let's talk about her later." ”
After speaking, Yuan Ruili passed people in, and in order to conceal their identities, it was not good for them to sit in the tent on an equal footing with General Yuan, so they hid behind the screen to rest, and at the same time they could hear what they said.
Feng Yiluan sat on the main seat as a princess, and Yuan Rui sat on her left side, and the two began to work together to deal with military affairs.
There were junior generals in charge of the prisoners in the army, and the number of prisoners had been counted, and they reported at this time, and nearly 160,000 ordinary soldiers of the Fierce Soldiers Army were arrested; in addition, three fourth-rank partial generals, thirteen third-rank commanders, 29 deputy commanders, and more than 170 first-grade qi refining and cultivating commanders and other minor leaders were also captured.
Among them, the generals of the third rank and above, as well as most of the second-rank generals, were captured by the three of Feng Yiluan, and there were many young generals at the level of Qi refining, which were seized by the other junior generals in the Yue Qi army.
Feng Yiluan was pleasantly surprised: "There are so many, I didn't count them when I caught them, I just cared about being happy." ”
Yuan Ruili read the report, immediately talked about the meritorious deeds, and soon all of them were dealt with, Feng Yiluan did not intervene throughout the whole process, these things are handled by General Yuan, although she sits on the main seat, she does not want to overstep her bounds, she understands these measures very well.
After rewarding the soldiers of the whole army, Yuan Ruili ordered people to build a simple prison camp in the fierce camp south of the Rongyin River, and imprisoned the 200 or so prisoners who had cultivated themselves.
As for the 160,000 ordinary soldiers who were captured, what should be done with them......?
Yuan Rui immediately worried: "Nearly 160,000 people, even if they don't do anything, they can't afford to eat alone, and they can't be abused, they must have at least one cake and one gruel every day, and they must prevent a large area from getting sick, and they can't be tortured and ......killed."
This time, in order to sweep away the enemy, it is necessary to weaken the opponent's military strength and requisitionable population first, if not, they only need to drive the enemy army away, even if it is meritorious, it does not require so much effort, and so many prisoners have to be locked up and eaten.
Feng Yiluan didn't speak, but he had already begun to silently think of a way for Yuan Ruili. General Yuan is right, what about 160,000 people, even if they only give them porridge every day, it is old and wasteful, if the time is short, it is easy to say, if the time is a little longer, they will not beat Yue He poor, but they can also eat Yue He alive, besides, where to requisition so much grain to make porridge?
Yuan Ruili also ordered people to count the captured grain and grass, and calculate how many days the food brought by the Warrior Army themselves was enough to eat under the condition of saving food for 160,000 people.
The quartermaster quickly calculated and reported it, saying that the Warriors did not bring too much food and grass, and their original plan was to go straight to our country, and then loot supplies in my country, so they did not bring much food and grass, and at present, it seems that there is only half a month's food at most, although there are 40,000 deserters, but even if they desperately save their food, it is only enough for them to eat for a month at most.
Yuan Ruili groaned: "A month, it's almost ...... What is hateful is that they are still the same as the Yuelu of the past? Can they plunder the property, grain, and livestock of several cities along the way as if they were in a no-man's land, so that the people in the places where the soldiers pass are not able to make a living?!"
Feng Yiluan said: "Yes, every time there is a military disaster, the people have to flee, seeing that this invasion is spring again, but there is a war, the people in the area of the Rongyin River and the Chengzhuo ferry have run out, and even the people around the water town have run away, this is the season of farming, if you can't sow seeds and cultivate in time, in the autumn, I'm afraid there will be a famine again, I dare not think about it." ”
In order to pass the assessment as soon as possible, she memorized a lot of books on people's livelihood and farming, business, and silk, so she can also say a few words now.
