Chapter 62: Trouble after Trouble

Three days later, Wei Kai, who was waiting in the Qin army's military village, received a messenger sent by Wang Da, saying that the Shuzhong Shang Alliance had been wiped out by the Qin army.

Flipping through Wang Da's brief military report, Wei Kai's brows suddenly furrowed. It is not that in the process of attacking the Shu League, the Qin army encountered great resistance, but as Wang Daxin said, there were merchants from Wei and Qi in the Shu League.

A merchant of the Kingdom of Qi? Wei Kai rubbed his eyes and thought for a while. It is really hard to imagine that the State of Qi, which is far away on the coast of the East China Sea, has actually extended its hand to the isolated Shu, while the neighboring State of Qin knows nothing about it.

It's a bit troublesome now, it seems that I have to think about it, Wei thought silently.

After all, if Qi was involved, it would mean that Wei Kai attacked the Shang Alliance, indirectly infringing on the interests of Qi State, and the primary condition for Qin and Qi to form an alliance was that Qi and Qin were not adjacent and there was no conflict of interests.

Two days later, under the stone wall of Beidongtian, Wang Da, the commander of the Qin army, waited for a large number of people as he requested in his letter.

It's not that the Qin army wants to build a fortress here, but after decades of accumulation, there are too many goods stored in the Shang League, and it is difficult to transport these belongings to Changchuan County with the three thousand soldiers in Wang Da's hands, not to mention that there are still a large number of prisoners who need to be guarded by the Qin army.

"General", Wang Da, who was looking at him, suddenly found that it was Wei Kai who was leading the people in front, so he immediately greeted him and said respectfully.

Wei Kai, who was looking around, heard Wang Da's shout, so he turned his head slightly and said with a smile: "I really know how to find a place."

You must know that the Qin army walked all the way, surrounded by deep forests and primeval forests, covering the sky and the sun, and everywhere they went, the trees were staggered and broken, like the traces left by a giant python after crawling through the grass, and the road was rugged and tortuous.

If Qin Jun didn't have a guide to lead the way, not to mention whether he could get to this place, whether he could find the road he had traveled before, and whether he could get out of this mysterious forest was a problem.

At this time, what was presented in front of Wei Kai was a completely paradise scene. Not to mention that the furnishings inside are delicate and noble, delicate and surprising, the pavilions are staggered, the floors are high, the trees are verdant, the strange flowers are flickering, just the carving on the stone wall nearby, as if the three big characters of "Don't Cave Heaven" are even Jiacheng, Wei Kai was shocked.

Looking at the surprised expression on Wei Kai's face, Wang Da on the side had a lingering look on his face, and said in a low voice: "General, this is even more peculiar than the outside."

"Really?" When Wei Kai heard this, he looked at Wang Da with interest and said with a smile.

"General, I definitely didn't swallow it privately...", Wang Da looked at the strange expression on Wei Kai's face, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.

"I know...", Wei Kai shook his head and smiled slightly, alas, it is not interesting to bully honest people at all. Rather than believing that Wang Da would secretly hide the seized property, it was better to believe that Wang Da would personally move his tent outside the treasury and guard it day and night.

After arranging the accompanying people, Wang Da took Wei Kai to the temporary camp of the Qin army.

Looking at the white tents of the Qin army, densely distributed among the surrounding carved buildings and paintings, which looked out of place, Wei Kai smiled helplessly, this is really Wang Da's characteristic, he would rather squeeze behind a simple military tent than settle in the richly decorated and beautiful pavilions around Bai.

"Meet the general", the soldiers of the Qin army who were patrolling around, after seeing Wei Kai's arrival, they knelt down and saluted loudly.

In front of him, Wei Kai looked at Wang Da beside him, and said with a strange expression: "Why don't you let the soldiers live in the nearby houses?" ”。

When Wang Da heard this, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he replied in a low voice: "At first, it was indeed arranged for soldiers to live in empty houses, but later it was discovered that some soldiers in the army took advantage of the night to secretly go to the female relatives who were indecently imprisoned..."

When Wei Kai heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Those soldiers? ”。

Disobeying military orders and oppressing women without authorization is something that Wei Kai absolutely does not tolerate, but it does not mean that Wei Kai is trying his best to criticize these soldiers of the Qin army from the perspective of modern people.

The gradual improvement of the status of women is slowly formed with the development of society. If Wei Kai and the world were to hype up the equality of men and women at this time, he would definitely be regarded as a madman, instead of praising Wei Kai for being open-minded and single-minded in love.

The concept of equivalence between women and property is the consensus of the subjects of the Seven Kingdoms under the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty at this time, and it is the mainstream consciousness of society.

But wine is a medicine for the intestines, and the color makes the bone scraper, once the Qin army tastes the sweetness of it, if it is not stopped in time, it will violate the military order again and again, and finally the discipline system that Wei Kai has finally established in the heart of the Qin army will collapse in an instant, which Wei Kai never wants to see.

"He has been imprisoned by all the generals."

Looking at Wang Da, who was kneeling on the ground, with a look of shame on his face, and repeatedly accused, Wei Kai said word by word: "Take me over."

Hearing the chaotic noise from afar, Wei Kai frowned, and Wang Da, who followed him, hurriedly said: "General, those dog cubs have been detained by the last general for a long time, so they are a little crazy...".

"Dog's day..., Lao Tzu followed General Wei Kai and killed the Wei people in Shaoliang City...".

"Let me out,... Lao Tzu is a meritorious man of the Qin army."

Standing outside the room, listening to the foul language that kept coming out of the room, Wei Kai's originally blue face suddenly turned black, and without any other action, Wei Kai stepped forward and kicked open the locked wooden door.

With a bang, several Qin soldiers who were half-lying on the bed, simply draped in clothes, exposing their chests, and were scolding loudly, were suddenly startled by the sudden sound of breaking the door.

Looking at the people who walked in outside, the more than a dozen soldiers who were lazy in the house opened their eyes slightly, and before they could see the people clearly, they immediately asked the people who came, why did they lock them up in this small house?

Smelling the smell of stinkiness all around, looking at the dishes scattered everywhere on the desk, the scattered soldiers in the room were not at all like Wei Kai who had just seen the energetic Qin Jun, Wei Xingxing suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "Why do you still have complaints?" ”。

The sunlight slowly poured into the small room, and there was no sunlight for a few days, and the soldiers in the house who were shining in their eyes at this time slowly recognized Wei Kai, who was looking at them with a displeased face at the door, and was immediately frightened, and hurriedly tidied himself, and then lined up in front of Wei Kai, and said loudly, "Meet the general."

"You have all grown up to be capable, and if you don't see you for a few days, you have all played tricks for me."

Listening to Wei Kai's words, the dozen or so Qin soldiers who were trembling at this time suddenly became even more frightened in their hearts. After all, the cruel scene when Wei Kai practiced them at the beginning, they still remember it vividly.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Wei Kai's harshness, and if he wants the unruly Qin army to slowly adapt to the tactics like the Wei army, it can't be completed in a short time without heavy punishment.

This is also the reason why Shang Ying's law changed in Qin, although Qin quickly became rich and strong, it was repeatedly criticized by later generations as the law of Shang Jun, and was called the law of cool officials and the law of destroying the country.

"Why don't you speak? Isn't it very powerful? ”。

Looking at the people in front of them who kept kowtowing and confessing, but did not speak, Wei Kai, who had been staring at them for a long time, said in a deep voice: "All of them are demoted to ordinary soldiers, incorporated into the logistics army, erase all the merits of this campaign, and inform the whole army."

As soon as Wei Kai's voice fell, the soldiers of the Qin Army who begged for mercy just now suddenly turned pale, like falling into an ice cellar.

You must know that the logistics army, although it is a branch of the Wei Kai army, has always been set up by temporarily recruiting people to carry grain, grass and equipment for the army. Now that he is incorporated into the logistics army, doesn't it mean that he has almost been removed from the Qin army?

In addition, now not only has the credit of this attack on the Shang Alliance been erased, but it also means that from now on, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which is undoubtedly a great blow to everyone who has always claimed to be a warrior in the army.

"General, you can't...".

"Yes, General, you might as well kill me and wait...".

Looking at the people who were suddenly wailing on the ground, Wei Kai sighed, squatted down and patted one of them on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "And more, you are the first to follow me, and you have followed me since the Battle of Shaoliang until now. You should be well aware of the punishment for violating military discipline? The foundation of the Qin army's establishment is that meritorious service must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished."

And even more when he heard this, he raised his head, looked at Wei Kai with tears on his face and said: "General, and you are not afraid of death, please general, don't kick me out of the Qin army...".

"Then you should also know, how many of our comrades have died so far?

Those comrades who died in battle, fighting with all their might, are it just for those of us who survived to easily destroy the powerful army that we have built up with great difficulty?

You have to do a good job for me in the logistics camp, and I will wait for you to put on your armor again and follow me into battle."

Wei Kai pinched Hegen's shoulders and said loudly to the soldiers in front of him.

Listening to the loud crying in the house, Wei Kai, who had already walked out of the door, whispered to Wang Da, who had a solemn face on the side: "Marry those women who have been treated lightly according to the specifications of military marriages."

When Wang Da heard this, he looked at Wei Kai, who had a bad face, and comforted him repeatedly: "General, I believe they can understand the general's painstaking efforts."

When Wei Kai heard this, he didn't speak, so he asked Wang Da to arrange for him to go and meet with the merchants of Qi who had been captured this time.

After all, the attitude of the Qi State is very important to the current Qin State, and it is the main external force that the Qin State relies on to contain the Wei State, and there is no room for sloppiness, which is also the reason why Wei Kai came in person.

The Qilu clan is also very depressed now, and they were originally planning how to rescue Wei Kai.

The Qin army attacked the Biedong Heavenly Pavilion unknowingly, so that everyone who was still immersed in the victory of the Shuzhong coalition army was unexpected, so they were captured one by one, and became a prisoner of the Qin army in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the carefully serving maids around him, Qi Lu understood that the reason why he was still able to wear gorgeous clothes and eat exquisite food, instead of being beaten by the arrogant Qin army and dragged into the Qin army's prison was all because he was a Qi man.
