Chapter 35: Spoils of War
"Anything else?" Ye Fu asked.
Ma Xiaoliu said: "There is nothing so valuable, but there is still a lot of food and livestock." ”
"Take them all back!" Ye Fudao.
"Yes." Ma Xiaoliu agreed, and went back to command the loading.
When the old man saw this scene, he couldn't help but be afraid that he was out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den. hesitated again and again, but was pushed out by everyone.
He looked at Ye Fu timidly and asked him, "Little Master Jun, ...... of us Can we go? ”
"Let's go? Where are you going? Ye Fu was surprised.
Immediately, he suddenly understood what the other party meant.
Probably treating them as rogue soldiers, snatching things from the hands of the Tartars, it is estimated that they will also rob the common people, similar to bandits.
They were afraid that they would be taken away by the other party, so they asked.
Ye Fu understood what the other party meant, so he smiled at him and said, "Uncle, this line from Sanyang to Kuandian, located at the junction with the Tartars, is really too dangerous. Aren't you people walking on the road like a flock of fat sheep in the eyes of others? Come with us, we're just going to Kuandian to send you back!" ”
"Huh? No...... You don't have to, right? The old man was shocked.
In fact, from the way he looked when he just said Xu Pingong, Ye Fu knew what he was thinking in his heart. None of them wanted to go back to Eternal Castle, and it wasn't something unexpected.
It's just like Ye Fu said.
Of course, a considerable part of the displaced people who fled could go to places within Shanhaiguan, so as to temporarily escape the doom of war. However, there is still a large part of them who will encounter Tartars, or real stray soldiers and bandits. They don't have any ability to protect themselves, and if they wander on the Liaodong Plain like this, something will happen sooner or later.
What's more, even if nothing happens. In this era, the most important thing is the population. If people lose land, people and land will survive; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. It is absolutely impossible for Ye Fu to give up his own population to others in vain.
Therefore, he could not agree with the old man's words.
He said: "Uncle, it's safer to follow us in the end, don't worry, we will definitely send you home safely." ”
"This ......" They looked at Ye Fu's soldiers who were sorting out the spoils of war, and watched them being forced by the officials one by one to cut off the heads of those Tartars with knives, and the bloody scene couldn't help but make them feel a deep sense of fear.
In the face of such a group of people, if they insist on taking them away, they are afraid that they will not have any chance to escape.
Just as the people lowered their heads and pondered their own thoughts, Ye Fu suddenly smiled at them and said, "You guys, do you know who I am?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Ye Fu smiled and said: "I'm sorry everyone, the waste in your mouth, the thousand general managers of Yongdian Fort Xu Pingong ......"
When he said this, the old man in front of him was already shaking in horror.
Seeing this, Ye Fu hurriedly said: "That's my subordinate Qianzong!" Under the surname Ye, a single name is a rich word, and now he is appointed as a garrison in Sanyang, and Yongdian Fort is a military fort under me. I'm just here, and I'm really sorry that Your Majesty is incompetent, so I'm sorry to make you suffer. In the future, I will definitely put it in order. A scum like Xu Pingong is categorically unable to hold any military position. Send you back this time, and I will take him down for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason against the country, and deal with him severely. Everyone, don't worry? ”
After listening to Ye Fu's words, the people below couldn't help but be suspicious.
Ye Fu saw that he could barely pacify them, so he didn't say anything more.
After greeting Ma Xiaoliu, everyone prepared to pull out the camp, return to the place agreed with Lu Ding, and rest and rectify for a while.
~~
At the same time, Lu Dingbu ambushed the place.
Looking at the corpses of more than 20 Tartar soldiers in front of him, Lu Ding's heart was never happy!
I fought many battles with the Tartars, and this was the first time that so many horses and weapons were captured, and so many Tartar soldiers were killed so easily.
Unlike Ma Xiaoliu, he is still quite satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.
Especially Fang Mengda!
In the beginning, he was guilty of so many brothers who were killed by the enemy.
This time, in order to make up for his previous mistakes, he can be regarded as the bravest one in battle.
On his own, he killed a whole five Tartar cavalrymen.
Even the unwounded soldiers did not kill as many as he alone.
This made Lu Ding a little more satisfied with him, at least, it wasn't so unpleasant to look at.
"Chop off their heads, and take everything you can!"
At this point, Lu Ding and Ye Fu's thoughts coincide. In this era, decapitation is still very important. If there is no head to testify, then who will believe your credit?
Lu Ding this time, but he really didn't let go of even a Tartar soldier easily, and he was all annihilated! Such a record is enough to go back and brag with Tang Wang and Song Ruliang!
"My lord, this time I have gained a lot, and I just went to count it. Beheaded at the thirty-seventh level, Gu is a Tartar soldier. Thirty-two horses were also captured, as well as sabers, hard bows, armor, cotton clothes, cotton boots, and other items, which could be used by our army. In addition to this, there were gold and silver, and jewelry, and grain, and livestock, and these numbers had been sent to be counted, and soon a definite number was presented. ”
When Lu Ding said this, his whole face had a thick smile that he couldn't hide.
"Hmm." Ye Fu nodded and replied lightly, but he didn't seem to have much interest in the number of loot that Lu Ding said. He knew that he had won a lot this time, but he was more concerned about how to report this battle to the higher levels to win more rewards or power for himself.
Lu Ding saw that he was not interested, but he was a little confused for a while.
Either way, it's a win, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start searching for memories of whether he had done something wrong in this battle.
But after searching in his mind for a long time, he didn't know where Ye Fu's unhappy mood came from.
His mood unconsciously followed a little apprehensive.
I don't know when it started, Lu Ding already had such a sense of respect for this Shangguan who was younger than himself. Ye Fu's emotions could easily affect Lu Ding's own mood, and Lu Ding could feel a strong emotion in his heart at the same time as he felt his emotions. This was basically unimaginable before.
After a while, Ye Fu came back to his senses from his thoughts, only to find that Lu Ding was already stunned and didn't know how long he had been secretly thinking about him, and his originally excited face was filled with a thick sense of confusion.
Seeing this, Ye Fu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "What are you doing?" ”
Lu Ding said aggrievedly: "You don't seem to be in a good mood when you are in a humble position, I don't know if it is a ...... when you are fighting at a low level."
"Nothing!" Ye Fu said with a smile, "This is the first time I have fought with the Tartars since I took over as the garrison of Sanyang. Although it was only a small-scale ambush, with the cooperation, no one escaped, and the fight was already very good. I'm very happy with the results. Even the slightest negligence in the process of implementation is only a small section. What's more, it is understandable that our soldiers have only been reorganized for less than a month, and their lack of battlefield experience and inability to combat effectiveness are not a matter of command. Don't think about it, I'm thinking about something else just now. ”
Lu Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly asked, "My lord, I don't know why you're worried?" As your subordinate, I wonder if I can share your worries? ”
