Chapter 251: Soldiers

At this time, it was not early, but Zhang Weiwen was still walking around in this place like a ghost town, as if he was looking for something, Lao Hei suddenly had some doubts and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Weiwen opened his mouth and said: "Naturally, there is a rough count of how many people have died. At this time, Lao Hei found that Zhang Weiwen seemed to be holding a black charcoal pen in his hand, writing something on a very delicate line-bound book. Lao Hei opened his mouth and asked: "The imperial court should have a special person to count, and besides, there is really no need to do this at this time, and adults can't finish it alone?" The movements in Zhang Weiwen's hands did not stop, but he kept checking the number of dead bodies, although the weather in the north is not as warm as the Central Plains, but at this time it is also a little warm, so most of the corpses are still heavily corrupted, and the smell is really unforgettable, so Lao Hei actually doesn't want to stay here for a moment, but Zhang Weiwen seems to have not smelled it, and has been checking the number of people, Lao Hei sighed and covered his mouth and nose and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

After Zhang Weiwen heard this, his subordinates' movements suddenly stopped, looked at Lao Hei and said coldly: "What do you think I'm doing at this time?" Such a huge corpse, in such weather, will definitely evolve into a plague, not far from here is the army, if our army is infected with the plague, what do you say? When Lao Hei heard this, he suddenly realized, slapped his head and said: "That's the truth, why haven't I figured it out." ”

Zhang Weiwen sighed and continued the movements in his hand, Lao Hei was suddenly a little curious, so he said, "Is there any deep meaning for adults to do this?" Zhang Weiwen said impatiently: "How did I find that your mouth has become more and more broken recently, what I did naturally makes sense, you can rest assured." "It wasn't until before dark that Zhang Weiwen made a preliminary report, which was very rough, Zhang Weiwen had never done statistics, when he was in college and studying statistics, he had done a draft statistical plan in a pity, which was about a simple number of reports, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here. Zhang Weiwen looked at the very simple report, sighed, and the two of them got on their horses and finally arrived at the camp when it was dark.

The depths of the camp were heavily guarded, although the atmosphere was very tense at this time, but Zhang Weiwen could see the fatigue of these soldiers, after all, they had been fighting for a winter, and since everyone was about to end the war, those hateful Mongolian cavalry had returned.

Zhang Weiwen saw a little soldier who was eating, and fell asleep while eating, holding a bowl. At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and there were insects waking up in spring in Yinyin, Zhang Weiwen saw Chen Xiucheng again, and looked at the man who was now a little old, and sighed in his heart.

"Is the general alright?" Zhang Weiwen opened his mouth and said, Chen Xiucheng smiled tiredly and said, "Do you look at my appearance, do you look very good?" At this time, Chen Xiucheng's face was slightly pale, his face was scruffy, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he looked like he had experienced a very painful battle, Zhang Weiwen sighed and said, "The marshal has worked hard. Chen Xiucheng smiled and said: "There is nothing hard or hard, this time our army should not be able to succeed for long." ”

"I don't know what I can do at this point? Do your part. Zhang Weiwen opened his mouth and said, Chen Xiucheng looked at Zhang Weiwen with sincerity, and felt a burst of relief.

"I heard before that you seem to know very well about the magic of gods and ghosts in Changzhou, and you also know that this time the Mongolian cavalry came to attack, because of the so-called immortal heavenly manifestation, but I don't believe that there are any gods in this world, so I thought that the grassland is barren, and someone must be doing it, so I invited you to see if there is any solution."

Zhang Weiwen pondered for a moment and said, at this time, it is very tricky, I disagree with the so-called gods and ghosts like you, there must be someone making trouble, but this kind of thing, but you still have to investigate it yourself to be able to gain something. ”

Chen Xiucheng sighed and said, "At this time, if you go to the grassland, it will definitely be very dangerous, maybe it will be nine deaths." Seeing Chen Xiucheng like this, Zhang Weiwen smiled and said: "Since I have decided to come, I must be ready to sacrifice, these things are inextricably linked to me, those people who died tragically in Rongcheng, I really can't be invisible, those ignorant barbarians, they should indeed pay the price for their actions, no matter how big this price is, this is a must." ”

Chen Xiucheng looked at Zhang Weiwen and didn't speak for a long time, just looked at the moonlight outside the tent, and then said, "You go down to rest first, and we'll talk about these things tomorrow." ”

After Zhang Weiwen came out of Chen Xiucheng, he met Huang Shao'an, who had not been seen for many days, outside the tent, this kid was still bearded at this time, and the young general who was in the wind in Yushu before was like two people, only to see Huang Shao'an holding a pot of wine at this time, looked at Zhang Weiwen and said: "It's been a long time, have a drink." ”

The two of them were sitting on a high slope, at this time the night breeze was blowing, but it was also cool, drinking a little wine, and Zhang Weiwen still felt a little comfortable at this moment.

"You've been in Rongcheng for some time today?" Huang Shao'an's eyebrows and eyes revealed a murderous aura, Zhang Weiwen could naturally feel it, and he said: "Don't ask me what I saw, I will never forget it in my life, there is still such a place in the world that is so close to hell." ”

"Hell?" After Huang Shao'an finished speaking, he filled a mouthful for himself, and at this time, Huang Shao'an's tone was a little drunk and frivolous, and he said, "Do you know how many people have reported to the imperial court?" The wine jug in Zhang Weiwen's hand shook obviously, and at this time, a slightly violent mountain wind blew, and Huang Shao'an's voice sounded.

"It was said that there were only a few thousand people, but the gates of the city were all blocked with corpses, and it was said that there were only a few thousand." Huang Shaoan looked at the increasingly cool scenery at this time, and felt that he would not be able to pass this hurdle no matter what, Zhang Weiwen took a sip of wine, felt the strong and sour taste of the spirits unique to the northwest, and felt that the irritability in his heart seemed to be intensifying.

"According to my estimates, there are about 30,000, most of them are people in the vicinity, and only a small number are disabled soldiers." Huang Shaoan smiled after hearing this, and said, "I've always heard that your arithmetic is very good, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful." ”

"Rongcheng is an important town in the northwest, with a permanent population of 300,000, but at this time it has been completely reduced to an empty city." Zhang Weiwen sighed leisurely, Huang Shaoan lowered his head and looked at his shoes, his voice was muffled, and he only heard him say: "Tautology, you said that we are soldiers, are we useless?"
