There is an additional melon field on the east bank of the Yellow River, densely filled with countless round things, accompanied by a strong smell of corpses and blood......

These things are human heads, there are hundreds of them, they were all beheaded by the fifth battalion, they are all real captives, their facial features are very obvious, the hair on their heads is braided, there are strange pendants, wolf teeth and even human finger bones.

The reason why all the gains were put on the table was to let the people on the west bank who were terrified of crossing east two days ago see that the Hulu who had plagued their hometown had indeed been killed so much by the Fifth Battalion, and deepened their gratitude and admiration for Boyu Sima.

Second, it is convenient to count.

"Three hundred and seventy-six, three hundred seventy-seven."

This is the third count, Xuan Biao has vomited three times, he still can't get used to this bloody life, but he still insists on recording the number, first the total, and then the heads that Fifth Lun gave them according to the performance of each team he witnessed: the scene was chaotic during the battle, it was impossible to kill a person and cut off a head, fortunately, the army was small in number, the battlefield was also small, and Fifth Lun could still personally share the reward, and no matter how many people there were, there must be loyal and fair cronies to supervise the battle separately.

After finishing the killing, Xuan Biao only said to Wu Lun with emotion: "I heard that the Han Dynasty was the first to make the first merit, if it can be like that time now, how much reward will the soldiers get." ”

Fifth Lun's head, Xuan Biao took the initiative to ignore the Qin Dynasty, but the fifth Lun read "Wei Xuanzi", which occasionally mentioned the Qin system, I heard that there are a total of twenty knights, low-level soldiers are promoted according to the different beheadings, each level gets more land and homes, and the state allocates serfs to help you work, and senior officers are rewarded and punished according to the total number of beheadings of the troops they lead.

As for the Han Dynasty that Xuan Biao misses, although the military merit has existed in name only, the reward is still there, but it has changed from land division to reward.

Fifth Lun in the army stationed in the underground barrier, also found a number of Han Dynasty slips, one of the "capture and beheading the Huns, anti-Qiang purchase reward department" clearly stipulates that the border soldiers, behead the head of the Huns, or capture the Hu and Qiang captives, can increase the rank of one rank, and those who do not want to be officials will be rewarded with 30,000 yuan.

Fifth Lun confirmed the date, it was actually the year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, only three generations ago, so is there still this system?

Yes, there are, but they disappear over time, and they exist in name only.

The tyrannical Qin system of the twentieth rank is of course categorically rejected by the self-proclaimed "beautiful and new" imperial court.

Decapitation? There is no land, the population of the world has probably broken the 60 million mark, and they are all crowded in the Central Plains, plus the mergers are serious, it is completely impossible to carry out the famous land house system.

The land on the border for the soldiers? Isn't this a deception to stay in the backwoods? Everyone wants to go home.

Assigned to Jiangdong Jiaozhou? Trekking thousands of miles, the death rate on the road is as high as three or four percent, I'm sorry for you, I don't want the land, I'd rather go back to my hometown to be a tenant farmer or even a slave.

is also a slave pig Tu Yong is easy to fool.

Can you give a reward for beheading? Giving is giving, but after three or four monetary reforms in ten years, Daxin's money is no longer money, and it is about to become a voucher for entering the city. Desperately cut off a Hulu head, in exchange for a few fluttering big cloth Huang Qian, a lot of money, but in fact, it is not as heavy as the head, and it is basically impossible to spend it out of the big city, and the government itself refuses to accept it, and it will be depreciated tomorrow, is it worth it?

It can be summed up as: "Split the fart!" “

If it can be strictly enforced, it will really get a fart, and you can still hear the sound. Although ordinary soldiers don't want to get the slightest benefit from their military exploits, the military officials can also use this to promote and make a fortune.

But most of the time, you fight bravely in the front, but the credit is exaggerated, and you cheapen others, and in the end you don't even have a fart.

Just looking at the two "Lu Fang's heads", it can be seen that under the rotten system of Daxin, anything tricky can happen.

No, after the Huns left, Liang Qiuci demonstrated to them on the spot a battle of wits and courage with the air, and confronted the Hulu army dozens of miles away.

"Fighting against the enemy is powerless, but it is quite powerful to win merit and reward, and there is no shortage of such people in this world." Ma Yuan was very disdainful of Liang Qiuci, and reminded Fifth Lun by the way.

"Boyu should be careful, the credit of the fifth battalion for the battle, don't let this wingman take it."

Wu Lun shook his head and said: "I am not only fighting for merit, but also how to explain this battle when I report to the court afterwards." “

"What does Sima mean by this?" Xuan Biao was already one of the few people Wu Lun trusted the most, and was able to participate in his conversation with Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan drew inferences from one another, remembering all the strange appearances he had witnessed in the years when he was the post supervisor, and said firmly: "Boyu's meaning is that Liang Qiuci will not admit that he is guarding behind closed doors, and sit back and watch the Huns in the territory under the jurisdiction of his defense zone, as if they have entered a no-man's land, and fought all the way to the river!" ”

Xuan Biao was stunned: "But that's the case, Liang Qiuci let the Xiongnu go deep into the New Qin, not only did he not send troops to attack Hu, but also closed the city gate and did not accept the people, forcing thousands of innocent people to cross the river." “

Fifth Lun smiled without saying a word, and asked Ma Yuan, an old guy who had rolled in the officialdom, to continue to fight Xuan Biao: "Liang Qiuci will say that it is a foolish man and a foolish woman who is cowardly, and sees the wolf smoke from a distance, and leaves in a hurry, such as a bird with a frightened bow." ”

Xuan Biao was not convinced, and retorted: "What about those Lilu who were harmed by Hulu? What about the beacons that were breached? What about the people who were killed without protection? ”

Ma Yuan said: "Liang Qiuci will say that this may be the work of robbers who took advantage of the chaos to rob, such as the remnants of Lu Fang, as well as the remnants of the 'bandits', which greatly disrupted the rear, but they were all beheaded." ”

Xuan Biao was stunned: "Killed?" Where is it? ”

Ma Yuan sneered: "Hu Lu killed and killed, aren't the heads of those people who resisted them and died ready-made?" Believe it or not, the first order given by Liang Qiu was to send someone to collect and cut it down, as long as it was hung on the head of the city, it was said to be a robber, and it was a robber! ”

"But they are clearly fighting bravely to resist Hu Lu and die, and they are righteous people."

Even if Xuan Biao was beaten once in Zhu Tu Yong, he still didn't expect that this world could reverse black and white to such an extent.

Ma Yuan shook his head, if he hadn't seen through this and despaired of the court, he would have a good family background, and if he didn't do the obtainable Lang Guan and filial piety, what would he do if he was mixed in the rivers and lakes?

Xuan Biao's temper had already come up, and he and Ma Yuan were fierce: "So, is it a fact that the six hundred heroes of the fifth battalion fought with Hu Lu?" Now the broken blades of the remnants are still stuck in the ground, and the blood of the soldiers is still there next to the ravine! “

Ma Yuan said with a smile: "Liang Qiuci will say that it was the Huns who were forced by the army, and a small group of Hulu panicked and broke through in reverse, and happened to meet the fifth battalion and picked up the leak here." ”

Therefore, Liang Qiu Cicai was anxious for the fifth Lun to go to the county seat to see him, and he needed the endorsement of the fifth battalion in order to turn the guilt into a successful labor.

Xuan Biao's voice couldn't help but get louder: "But thousands of people on the other side are watching, seeing Sima crossing the river with their own eyes, and seeing our generation fighting day and night, Hu Lu knew the difficulty and retreated." I don't believe it, Liang Qiu gives a person, can he still block the mouth of the people? “

"Yes!"

This time it was the fifth Lun who answered him.

"Because what the court learned and what the emperor heard, it was not the mouth of the people."

"It's a letter from the officials, and it can't be long, the emperor seems to have the power in the world, but in fact, he can only know what is happening in various places through these few hundred words."

Fifth Lun picked up the wooden slip used to record the beheading: "It is this light piece of music that can block the words that tens of thousands of people, even millions, or tens of millions of people want to say, like a fish in the throat!" ”

As for what happened in the distant frontiers, on the banks of the Yellow River, in the ditches, how many joys and sorrows, how much ambition and cowardice, it doesn't matter, they can't decide anything.

In the end, the competition is who can blow better in the song.

"Otherwise, why do Chang'an folk songs sing, 'It's better to fight with skill'?"

Therefore, the stable subject country that blows early and blows fast has the opportunity to offer the true Lu Fangtou, and General Tunhu is one step slower, so he misses the opportunity.

Xuan Biao sat on the table a little stunned and muttered, "But if someone can let the emperor know the truth......"

Fifth Lun asked him rhetorically: "How do you let the emperor know?" Let the local people walk thousands of miles to knock? Is it close to Canglongque? Or on the book? Who is eligible to go to school? “

The fifth Lun has been played twice, the first time is through the national teacher Liu Xin.

But the situation is completely different from a year ago, and the fifth Lun heard that the crown prince Wang Lin changed the title of "Tongyi Yang King", which is equivalent to abolition. As the leader of the princelings, Liu Xin has completely lost power, and he can't protect himself, so he can't count on it.

The second time I wrote was through the victory of exterminating Lu Fang, and the fifth Lun was a man of great merit, and a few simple sentences were attached to General Tunhu's recital. Thanks to Han Wei, he was fair and did not conceal the exploits of the fifth Lun, otherwise he would not even be able to get a false title.

But now, the captured Huns confessed that Han Wei had been wiped out and died.

"General Han may really be dead, but in the notes that other generals gave to the imperial court, he may be alive."

Ma Yuan shook his head: "Han Wei's battle out of Cyprus should be several simultaneous marches, but in the end, he was alone and annihilated, the whole thing is strange. ”

"That's right." The fifth Lun head refers to the death of Han Wei, and it is another confused account of "Lu Fangtou".

"The bad news is that after Han Wei's death, we don't even have a channel to write indirectly."

"The good news is that Liang Qiuci doesn't either."

Liang Qiuci does not have a strong backer, this is something that Wu Lun has known for a long time.

"Could it be that Dou Rong has?" Xuan Biao suddenly realized, no wonder the battle had just ended, and the fifth Lun was going to let people go in advance to contact Dou Zhougong, who was going south to assist in defense.

"Dou Rong District is a lieutenant, how can you have this qualification."

But Dou Rong's backer, Sikong Wangyi, has it, but the fifth Lun has a fancy for another person.

"Dou Rong's official is also the official of me and Liang Qiuci, the deputy general of this northern expedition."

"General Lian Dan! He's the key! ”

……

As Ma Yuan expected, when the Fifth Lun sent Wan Xuan to Shanghe City to investigate, he saw a row of heads hanging on the city wall, not the Huns, but the people.

No, under the propaganda of Liang Qiuci, this is a few days of wandering in several counties, colluding with the Xiongnu, disrupting order, and capturing the remnants of Lu Fang and the remnants of the bandits who are like murderers in Lilu.

The people of Shanghe County, who regard Liang Qiuci as a savior, believe that at this moment, there is still a group of children holding stones and smashing at the innocent heads!

Seeing this scene, Wan Yu gritted his teeth and went back to report to the fifth Lun.

Liang Qiuci was a "good man", he did not order the slaughter of the people, but he killed a group of dead people, and by the way, these people, the families who survived under the hooves of the Huns, became criminals who would be punished.

"It's more hateful than killing people directly."

Speaking from the heart, in the past half a year, Liang Qiuci has treated the fifth Lun quite well, but this time, it is no longer a matter of taking advantage of some advantages and sharing some credit, as when Lu Fang was suppressed, but the fundamental interests are conflicting, and the essential difference between life and work.

This is the reason why the fifth Lun had to backstab Liang Qiuci.

Of course, this is also the reason why the fifth Lun did not dare to enter Shanghe City, who knows what Liang Qiuci will do after he has no way to retreat, and the rabbit will bite people when he is in a hurry, maybe he will give him a scene of breaking into the White Tiger Festival Hall at night, and cut down the fifth Lun who has no backing first.

So the fifth Lun and Liang Qiuci met again, and when they were waiting for the arrival of Dou Rong's army, Liang Qiuci's face was full of anger, and people came over to ask the fifth Lun, why didn't he go to Shanghe City to report.

Fifth Lun only sat in the car and came over, he hung a white cloth on his hand today, bowed to Liang Qiu and said: "The subordinate fought with the Huns in a bloody battle, was seriously injured, and only barely climbed down today, and he has already made a statement to the captain. ”

Behind the fifth Lun is the fifth battalion with complete armor and soldiers, even if Liang Qiuci wants to merge, he has to weigh his strength, and the fifth Lun asked Liang Qiuci to shield others, and only whispered to him the news of Han Wei's death.

Fifth Lun is hinting to Han Wei that he and Han Wei are grasshoppers on a rope and can only rely on each other.

"The captain already knows."

Liang Qiuci breathed a sigh of relief, and only said unashamedly: "After Boyu won a big victory, it was really different from the past, why didn't he hand over the head of Hu Lu to repay the merit?" ”

I'll leave it to you, isn't it a meat bun beating a dog? Whoever has the head in his hand, the battle on the table, whoever holds the most cards, this is the confidence that the fifth Lun used to make a deal with Dou Rong, how could Liang Qiu be able to give it.

Fifth Lun said: "Captain, the reason why the subordinates urgently sent their heads to the east coast is because they are worried that Dou Rong wants to monopolize the credit because of the large number of people!" ”
