Qin Chuan also had several wounds on his body, but they were just flesh wounds, and it would be fine to clean the stitches and bandage some of them.

After taking care of his wounds, he left the mansion where the wounded soldiers were housed, and prepared to arrange the withdrawal of the troops.

But as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a large group of people waiting outside the door, including many Guan Di Jun, and even Liao Sangun.

In addition, there is also a group of people, each with thin skin and tender meat, who don't look like bitter haha, but like the old man of a big family.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan frowned and asked.

"See General."

Liao Sangun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said with some annoyance: "General, these people said that many of the money and grain we seized were robbed by Jiannu from their family, saying that they originally belonged to them and wanted to go back." ”

"What?"

Qin Chuan couldn't believe his ears.

At this time, a tall, fair-skinned man in his thirties stepped forward a few steps, suddenly knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Knock on General Qin, thank you for saving your life." ”

A group of people behind him also knelt on the ground, shouting "Thank you for saving your life, General."

Qin Chuan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Get up and talk about it." ”

"Thank you, General."

The tall man stood up, pointed to the big mansion behind Qin Chuan, and said with a sad face: "General, the villain's name is Tang Mu, this is the villain's Tang family's house, but those hateful Jiannu who are inferior to beasts actually killed twenty-three members of my Tang family, and the villain, even the villain's poor pair of children, also died tragically under their knives." ”

When he said this, he began to cry, and a large crowd of people behind him also wept.

Qin Chuan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

After crying for a while, the man named Tang Mu wiped a few handfuls of snot in a row, then suddenly knelt down and said with a desolate face: "General Qin, those Jiannu not only killed my people, but also robbed my Tang family of more than 3,000 stone grain and more than 8,000 taels of silver, as well as gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, cattle, sheep and horses and many other property. ”

"Now, those belongings are in the camp, and I hope that the general will look at the miserable situation of my Tang family, and say that those belongings will be returned to the original owner and returned to my Tang family."

Qin Chuan still didn't speak, only cast his eyes on the group of people behind Tang Mu.

Sure enough, among the group of people, another fat man ran out, knelt on the ground, and cried: "General, the villain's surname is Zeng, but he is a person from Zengjiawan thirty miles to the east, and more than 40 people and children of my Zeng family also died tragically under the Jiannu knife, and more than 4,000 stones of grain and more than 2,000 taels of silver in the family, as well as other family property, were all robbed by Jiannu, and put them in the big camp, and I hope that the big man will return to his original owner and return the money and grain to the villain." ”

"General, the villain's surname is Tao, and he is a person from Dingshizhuang, twenty miles north of Shanyin......"

"The villain Hu Sanhan, a person from Wulizhai, knocks on General Qin's ......"

One by one, the rest of the people jumped out, kneeling on the ground and telling in grief and indignation how Jiannu had murdered their families and looted their property.

Qin Chuan didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Until the group finished speaking, he still didn't speak, but silently added up the numbers reported by the other party in his heart.

According to the data they reported, the one that was looted by Jiannu the most had 7,000 stone of grain and 20,000 silver, and the least one had 1,000 stone of grain and hundreds of silver.

These figures add up to 21,000 stone of grain, 44,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, and countless other possessions such as gold and silver jewelry, silk and silk, cattle, sheep, and horses.

After calculating, Qin Chuan asked Liao Sangun next to him: "Have you counted the money, food, and property in the camp?" ”

Liao Sangun shook his head: "I haven't made it clear yet, but the money and grain are almost there, it is estimated that there are about 20,000 stones, and there should be 50,000 or 60,000 silver." ”

"Hmm."

Qin Chuan nodded, then looked at Tang Mu and the others.

"Ahem, squires, do you hate Jiannu for killing your family?"

"Hate! I can't wait to cut them with a thousand knives! ”

"The revenge of killing the father and the son is not shared!"

"The villain can't wait to eat the meat of Jiannu, peel their skin, and pump their tendons!"

"Well, that's right."

Qin Chuan nodded again, and continued: "Qin and his brothers have slaughtered more than 10,000 Jiannu, but this revenge has not yet been avenged, Qin swore to heaven that within seven years, he will lead an iron army to level Liaodong and avenge the squires and the people of Li." ”

"But ......"

Qin Chuan suddenly changed his words, pointed to the big mansion behind him, and said coldly: "There are hundreds of seriously injured soldiers inside, some of them have broken legs and missing arms, some of them have injured their lungs, they may not last long, and over there, there are still hundreds of corpses of fallen soldiers. ”

"The money, food, and property in this big camp were brought back by their lives, and they were snatched from Jiannu with the blood of all the soldiers, so why should they be given to you?"

"I don't care who the money and food originally belonged to, I only know that this is what the soldiers exchanged for their lives, and it should be used to comfort their families, reward the living soldiers, so that they can eat and drink, be strong and strong, and let them continue to charge into battle to kill the enemy for the country."

"Tell me, why did I give it to you?"

With that, Qin Chuan glanced around expressionlessly.

Tang Mu and the others' faces changed greatly, some people opened their mouths, but they couldn't say a word, and when they saw his gaze sweeping, they lowered their heads again, not daring to look directly at his gaze.

"Well said!" Liao Sangun next to him suddenly shouted.

"The general is mighty!"

The surrounding Guan Di troops also raised their arms and shouted.

"Go and gather all the people and Ahha, I have something to say to them."

Qin Chuan didn't pay attention to those old men anymore, but explained to Liao Sangun next to him, and then turned around and left.

"Yes!"

……

Not far away, Zhao Lishan, who had a thick gauze wrapped around his head, smiled at He Qizheng and Feng Shuangli next to him and said, "General He, Captain Feng, I am willing to lose the bet and give the silver." ”

He Qizheng was a little annoyed, took out a cloth bag from his arms, poured out a few pieces of broken silver, carefully checked it, and slapped it in Zhao Lishan's hand.

"Damn, He still thinks that General Qin is a good man, even if he doesn't return all the money and food to those squires, he will also see the tragic death of their family, and some of them will go out, how could he have thought that this would be the case."

"Hey, hey, hey." Zhao Lishan only cared about counting the silver happily.

Qin Boyang on the side spit out the grass stalk in his mouth: "General He, you don't want to think about it, General Qin has exhausted all the squires in the northwest of Shanxi, how can the meat in his mouth be spit out." ”

"If he spits it out, it won't be a big deal." Li Dingguo on the other side took over.

"Alas, misstep, misstep." He Qizheng patted his head in annoyance.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's good, don't do much, how can our Guan Emperor Army eat three meals a day, and have meat to eat every day?"

Zhao Lishan smiled again and stretched out his hand towards Feng Shuangli: "Captain Feng, it's your turn." ”

Feng Shuangli scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhao, that ...... I don't have any money, can I give it a few days? ”

"All his money has been stuffed into the purses of those girls in Cuixiang Building."

Li Dingguo, who was on the side, took out the silver bag as he spoke, poured two pieces of broken silver, and handed them to Zhao Lishan.

"I'll give it to him first."

"Oh, how can this be." Zhao Lishan hurriedly waved his hand, "When I return to Ningwu Pass, General Qin will give money to reward the big guys, and it is all cash, and I will never be in arrears. ”

"Zhao is always happy, then it's decided." Feng Shuangli arched his hand a little embarrassed.

"Hey, hey, let's go together when the time comes."

"It's a deal."

……

More than 10,000 captive civilians and more than 4,000 captured Aha were driven to the middle of the camp by Emperor Guan's army, and then they all looked at Qin Chuan, who was standing on top of a car in the middle.

These people are basically young and strong laborers, both men and women, and many of them are military households in Tuntian, who cultivate military fields in Xuanda and maintain the food supply of some border troops.

There are also tenants and long-term workers of various large families, who basically have no land.

There were very few yeoman farmers with land, and even fewer large squires were even more rare.

Many of these people have no relatives, and some are just couples or children who have been taken captive.

Qin Chuan looked around and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, folks, my name is Qin Chuan, and I believe many of you here have heard my name."

"Call the big guy and just say one thing."

"Now, the main force of Jiannu has passed through Huairen, and it is only less than a hundred miles away from here, so I will take you back to Ningwuguan for refuge."

"After I go back there, I will also send you to Lanzhou, or Wuzhou, Baodezhou, Hequ, Xingxian and other places, so that you can settle down there, divide the fields for you to plant, and ensure that one person has no less than four acres of land."

"These fields are all rented by you only for 30 percent, and there are no additional assignments or forced labor."

"After Jiannu leaves, if you have other relatives who want to take it over, I will send someone to pick it up and reunite you with your relatives."

"If you don't want to settle down there with me, I won't force it, after you return to the vicinity of Shuozhou, I will send someone to send you to Shuozhou."

"However, after the arrival of the Jiannu army, Shuozhou may not be able to hold it, you have to think about it."

Hearing this, the people below were stunned.

Someone reacted quickly, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Qin Chuan excitedly.

After a few breaths, most of the people present knelt down and kowtowed and thanked them gratefully.

When the scene calmed down a little, Qin Chuan looked at the group of apprehensive Aha who had rat tails again.

"I know that most of you are Han Chinese, and I know that you are just slaves of Jiannu, don't worry, I won't kill you."

"Shave off the rat's tail on the back of your head, and when you go back, you will first go to mining and water conservancy, and if you perform well, you will also be given land in the future, so that you can also settle down and marry and have children."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The group of aha also knelt down and kowtowed.

"Let's all go to eat, eat, rest for half an hour, and then set off to return to Ningwu Pass."

……

When the people and Aha dispersed, Qin Chuan called Liao Sangun to his side and ordered in a low voice: "You bring some brothers to follow in the periphery, whether it is Aha or those squires, all those who have escaped will be arrested and interrogated carefully." ”

"Yes."

Liao Sangun took the order.

Qin Chuan called Luo Ba and other generals over and began to arrange the affairs of the retreat.

An hour later, the army set off, and more than 10,000 people and Aha were escorted by the Guan Emperor army, carrying a large amount of money and grain, cattle, sheep and horses, and marched towards Ningwu Pass.

It is one hundred and twenty miles away from Ningwu Pass, and it is estimated that it will take three days to walk if there are a large number of baggage and people.

According to reports, Huang Taiji is only eighty or ninety miles away from here, and if he advances in a hurry, he can catch up in two days.

So, you have to speed up your journey and get back as soon as possible.

Of course, if Huang Taiji dared to rush into the light cavalry to chase after him day and night, Qin Chuan didn't mind an ambush battle to educate him.
