Chapter 1514: Conquest of the Empire (10)
"That's good, but the brigade that cleaned up the battlefield down there will destroy us, right?" An officer said worriedly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, don't worry, that Zhao Hu has neither a wife nor a concubine, and his subordinates are all of the same level, and there is no second in command at all, so as long as Zhao Hu is destroyed, they will definitely disperse in a hurry." An officer said disapprovingly.
An officer with more concerns immediately objected: "This matter has to be considered in the long run, here is a whole brigade of the Qin family, and it is so close to our base, if you kill Zhao Hu, they will scatter and flee without any problem, but who can guarantee that they will not attack us angrily, and even run to slaughter our family members to avenge Zhao Hu?" With our current strength, it is impossible to win this brigade, right? ā
As soon as these words came out, the red-eyed officers immediately calmed down, and some even broke out in a cold sweat to see the scene of corpses strewn all over the field below.
Who knows the strength of this Qin family brigade, if Zhao Hu is killed, and the brigade that no one controls will riot, it will be even more terrifying than the appearance of the same number of demons.
Besides, the following leaders want to inherit Zhao Hu's position, and avenging Zhao Hu is the best slogan, and their families will definitely not be able to escape!
Only then did Liu Ming speak up and say, "Just because our Marine Corps wants to kill Lord Zhao Hu?" Don't think too highly of yourself, I dare say that Lord Zhao Hu doesn't even need to gather the army below, and he can wipe out the hundreds of guards around him alone. ā
Seeing the shocked and disbelieving expressions on his subordinates' faces, Liu Ming sighed.
"You don't want to think about it, Lord Zhao Hu is the head of the Qin family, how can the guards around him be ordinary goods? Moreover, don't forget those mysterious black-clothed masked people, I'm afraid that the content of our current conversation has already been learned by Lord Zhao Hu. ā
Only then did the officers remember that there was a mysterious army under Zhao Hu's command, with the functions of assassins and secret agents, and when they thought that they had gathered together so openly to discuss the rebellion, they felt a chill come out of their backbones.
"Sir, what then? His words are known to him, and he will definitely not let us go! Horizontal and vertical are dead! Let's just fight! The officers became agitated.
No monarch would let such a rebellion go unchecked.
Liu Ming shook his head and said: "We just talked, and we didn't act, and Lord Zhao Hu shouldn't be such a stingy person, after all, it's normal for us to be unconvinced." ā
Hearing this, the officers nodded hesitantly, yes, they were just talking, and they should have dismissed their own people at most, so why can't they behead the public?
"However, now that we have seen the strength of Lord Zhao Hu, don't think so much in the future, and concentrate on doing your own work." Liu Ming put an end to this plan.
The officers all nodded in agreement, now that they think about it, their brains are a little watery, now a brigade is so strong, and on the southeast peninsula, the Qin family has more than ten brigades.
Besides, it won't be long before the troops of a brigade are about to arrive in the coastal province, and they actually want to rebel? I really don't know how to write dead words.
When everyone was silent, an officer suddenly said with joy on his face: "Sir, it seems that we have also taken refuge in a good boss, such a strong army, and the civil rule is also good, I believe it will not be long before we can control the entire coastal province." ā
The officers were stunned when they heard this, what's the matter with this guy? Just now you were talking about how to rebel, why did you suddenly become a pug now?
However, when they saw this officer blinking his eyes, everyone's hearts were shocked, he was now showing his loyalty to the mysterious troops of the Qin family who didn't know where to hide! The officers were not stupid or rigid people, and the words of admiration for Zhao Hu immediately flooded.
"Sir, how can we stay and rest while our brothers are busy cleaning up the battlefield?
Anyway, we're also part of the Qin family, right? Why don't you talk to Lord Zhao Hu, and let us clean up the place where we fought just now and help the brothers lighten their burdens? An officer said suddenly.
The eyes of the other officers lit up, and the cleaning of the battlefield was all fat, and the property on the corpses of prisoners and enemy soldiers belonged to the cleaning personnel according to custom.
It's not that they don't want to clean up the battlefield just now, but they have a small number of people and their combat achievements are not high, so they don't dare to participate in cleaning up the battlefield at all.
Now that he has regarded himself as a member of the Qin family, of course he asks to enjoy the treatment in the Qin family system, which is a good thing that can not only make a fortune but also show Zhao Hu his loyalty, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, Liu Ming also understood such a thing, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and talk to Lord Zhao Hu." When he had just left the team, Zhao Hu sent a cavalryman, and when he saw that the cavalry was coming here, Liu Ming stayed where he was.
The officers were curious about what orders the cavalry would bring, and they also came over and stood next to Liu Ming.
They didn't care that Zhao Hu would destroy him, because if this was the case, it would not be a cavalry, but a large group of cavalry rushing over.
The cavalry stopped, turned over and dismounted, saluted Liu Ming, and said: "Admiral, the lord ordered the Marines to clean up the battlefield in the combat area of the Marine Corps, and after receiving the order, the Admiral will assign the task by himself. After saying that, he saluted again, turned over and left.
Liu Ming and the officers present were all in a cold sweat, could it be so coincidental? No! Absolutely not!
If Zhao Hu had this intention early in the morning, he would have sent someone to pass the order when he gathered the Marine Corps, why did he just send someone to convey this order after he was ready to make a request?!
Dare to love that there is really that mysterious army hidden around him! Everything I just said has been conveyed! Doesn't this mean that even complaining in private will fall into Zhao Hu's ears in the future? What can I do?
Liu Ming was the first to come to his senses, he squeezed out a smile that was a little bitter and a little helpless, and said, "Right? I said that Lord Zhao Hu was a very generous hero, no, not only did he not pursue us, but he accepted our request. ā
What can the officers say about this? They all shook out a very reluctant smile and nodded in agreement.
After assigning the task, Liu Ming turned his head to look at the figure in the distance, and thought in a cold sweat in his palm: "I don't know if the existence of such a terrifying spy organization in the force is a blessing or a curse for the monarchs and ministers of this force?" ā
Then Liu Ming shook his head and secretly decided: "Forget it, no matter these troubles, since I am the chief of the navy, then I will do my job well, and bringing the entire ocean under the command of the Qin family is not only my current job, but also my expectation." ā
Zhou Wen glared at Liu Ming's figure in the distance viciously: "Hmph, even if you are lucky, you actually know how to dissuade your subordinates from evil thoughts, if you propose to your subordinates, everyone in your Marine Corps will definitely perish as soon as possible!" ā
Seeing Zhou Wen's anger, Zhao Hu couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhou Wen, don't be so careful, it's inevitable that they won't be convinced, after all, we used the strategy of lack of food to force them to surrender." You must know that people who have the ability are not so easy to convince people. ā
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Wen secretly decided that he must vigorously expand the secret guard system so that he had enough manpower to closely monitor the Qin family's important ministers, and he didn't want the guys below to cause trouble to his own adults.
At this time, an internal guard ran over from a distance and reported: "My lord, the results of the battle have been counted."
There were no dead in our army, 751 seriously wounded, of whom 67 will withdraw from the army. Since the Marines were not the main force, only 334 men were killed and 1,245 wounded.
"Six thousand four hundred and thirty-two enemy troops were captured, four thousand four hundred and fifty-six men were killed, two thousand four hundred and fifty-six war horses were captured, two hundred and fifty carts of baggage, five hundred pack horses, and one hundred and thirty craftsmen accompanying the army."
"Well, settle down the brothers who are about to quit the army, and double the reward as usual. As for the captives, let them be disposed of according to custom. Zhao Hu nodded very calmly and said.
When the internal guard was about to leave, Zhao Hu suddenly said: "Yes, the marines are regarded as their own people, and the supplies and rations are regularized." ā
Neiwei nodded clearly, you treat others as enemies, not enemies will become enemies, and pull the other party into your own system, over time, you can integrate the other party.
It is not surprising that the little internal guards have such an opinion, although their own job is to protect Zhao Hu's safety and convey orders, but they are also Zhao Hu's direct subordinates, after serving as internal guards for a certain number of years, their knowledge and ability are up to standard, and they will naturally be sent to the army or local to be officials.
Regarding Zhao Hu's act of installing his cronies in an upright manner, the important ministers of the Qin family could not object at all, because the internal guards were directly subordinate retainers with the same status as them, and if they had enough merit and ability, of course they could hold other positions.
Because of this opportunity to ascend to the sky, the internal security system is the most eager for the retainers to enter, and this also ensures that the blood of the internal security system is fresh and strong.
The marines who were cleaning the battlefield suddenly noticed something strange, but they couldn't say anything wrong, until an officer shouted in surprise: "Strange?!" Why didn't you see a single corpse of the Qin family's soldiers?! It dawned on them.
Yes, in this place where the corpses are all over the field, at a glance, all the soldiers lying down are the soldiers of the Lu family, even the occasional person wearing the imperial military uniform is also his own marine, and there is no one who belongs to the Qin family!
