In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), October 14, the second quarter of the Shen hour.

In Sanheshu, Lanxi County, Wuzhou, the rebels and the official army clashed for the first time, and the official army won a complete victory. From the confrontation between the two armies, to the rout of the rebels, and then to the pursuit and killing of the official army, it took nearly two hours. Only chased out about five miles, and Wu Kang Mingjin withdrew his troops. The strategic purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole, let Tong Tianbao ask for help, and lure the main force of the rebels south.

After the battle, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the first thing was to seize materials, including forty war horses and a pile of broken copper and iron. There is nothing else, the rebels are all bitter haha, and their pockets are cleaner than their faces.

Secondly, to deal with the wounded, all the "chiefs" were dispatched to identify each wounded. Those belonging to Wuzhou were carried to the wounded barracks by the auxiliary soldiers and handed over to the medical team for treatment.

The so-called chief is a grassroots officer of the militia group, leading ten soldiers. Five tithes and one gang, set up a gang leader; Three groups and one team, set up a team; Five teams and one battalion, with a command. One battalion of 450 soldiers, two battalions plus 100 personal soldiers, formed a battalion of 1,000 people, with a commanding envoy. Yu Hongzhi is the commander-in-chief of the Wuzhou regiment and the leader of the militia in the six counties of Wuzhou.

After dealing with the wounded in Wuzhou and dealing with the wounded of the rebels, according to the convention, they either mend the knife or turn a deaf ear and leave them to fend for themselves. Wu Kang, however, overrode public opinion, turned more than 300 wounded into prisoners and temporarily detained them in a prisoner of war camp, and the medical team treated them after treating the headquarters.

After dealing with the living and the dead, the chiefs went out again to find the fallen soldiers. According to statistics, more than 200 people were gathered in the camp and sent officials from Wuzhou City, Lanxi, and Jinhua to immediately send the remains of the soldiers home.

In the end, the rebels were slaughtered, totaling more than 1,200. According to the spies, this is the elite of the rebels, most of whom are followers of the Fire Phoenix Sect. The brainwashing was quite thorough, surrounded by officers and soldiers, and did not surrender at all; Stubbornly resisted, and was killed.

How to deal with the corpses of the rebels, Wu Kang held a meeting of military divisions, and the bigwigs discussed and agreed.

Wei Dingzhou suggested cremation for the reason: too many corpses can easily cause plague, and cremation solves everything, which is clean and convenient.

Qin Li objected: Cremation consumes a lot of dry firewood, and now the weather is cold and freezing, and dry firewood needs to be used for heating and cooking for the soldiers.

Di Renjie objected: "Notes on the Law of Yonghui" said that the burning of corpses is a crime and will flow for 3,000 miles. Cremated souls are not laid to rest, which will exacerbate the hostility of the rebels and invisibly increase the difficulty of counterinsurgency.

Wu Kangjue's reasonableness, counterinsurgency and promotion are the primary goal, and the difficulty of the game cannot be increased. As for "Yonghui Law Note", he secretly complained. This legal masterpiece is so famous that it is known as the Tang Law Shu Yi by later generations, one of the earliest written laws in East Asia, and came to Wu together with the Holy Decree of Counterinsurgency.

should be in Yonghui for three years, Mr. Li asked the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Tao, Yu Zhining and other super bosses to explain the "Yonghui Law" sentence by sentence. After a year, at the beginning of October, Mr. Li approved and issued the world for implementation. was originally celebrating with the whole world, but he was slapped in the face by Chen Shuozhen. Wu Kang estimated that Mr. Li was eager to eat his flesh raw and crush Empress Chen's bones and ashes.

After complaining, the cremation was vetoed, and everyone continued to discuss.

Yu Hongzhi was amazing, and he even suggested building a view of Beijing! It is to collect the corpses of the rebels, pile them on both sides of the road, tamp them with soil, build a pyramid-shaped mound, and write the word "Jingguan". The reason given: the rebels are extremely heinous and must be deterred and set an example by this.

Everyone felt that it was inappropriate, and such a humiliating treatment would intensify the hatred of the rebels and affect the overall situation of counterinsurgency. The younger brothers objected, and the big guy pushed the boat with the flow.

Di Renjie suggested burial for the reason: burial can make the deceased rest in peace and is also a kind of respect for the enemy. When the news reached Muzhou, both the rebels and their families would be grateful to Duke Wu. So as to alleviate the mood of resistance and reduce the difficulty of counterinsurgency.

It seems to make sense, Wu Kang asked for permission, decided to bury him, and sent auxiliaries to dig a pit. assigned tasks to them, and inspected the military camp with Di Renjie, because they had just won the battle, the soldiers were in a good mood, or chatting together, or frolicking in groups.

The two walked side by side, chatting without a word, and unknowingly came to the wounded barracks. Looking at the surrounding environment, I nodded with satisfaction, and it was not as dirty and messy as I imagined. Di Renjie felt incredible, and the picture in front of him was very different from the impression.

The medical doctor who got the news came all the way to greet him, greeted him briefly, and began to report to his work: "Don't drive, follow your instructions, clean up the dirt nearby." He also ordered all the wounded, as well as the Langzhong, to drink hot water. ”

Seeing that the big guy was expressionless, Dr. Hua continued: "All the Langzhong in Wuzhou City, including those who did not participate in the first aid training, all came to the barracks for free treatment. So far, more than 870 wounded have been treated, including those who have taken prisoners. The wound was sutured and disinfected with alcohol, and there were no deaths except for the most important injuries. ”

The big guy looked approving, Dr. Hua smiled, and struck while the iron was hot, and invited the big guy to visit. Passing by a tent and listening to the high-pitched moaning, Wu Kang opened the curtain and entered. A middle-aged man is doing suturing surgery, and the special crochet needle is skillful. There is no anesthetic, and the pain is screaming, but compared to it, the pain is nothing.

When the stitching was completed and then cleaned with alcohol, the brother was sweating profusely and gasping for air on the bed. When the wounded found the big guy, they all got up and saluted, and Wu Kang waved his hand to stop him. Condolences first, and then speech: "Brothers, take good care of your wounds, strive for a speedy recovery, and a speedy return..."

The words were interrupted by a moan, and the atmosphere instantly stiffened. The source of the sound was a young man, under the age of thirty-five, he realized that he was in trouble, and quickly got up and saluted to make amends. Halfway up his body, he let out another oops, and his chest smashed directly on the bed, baring his teeth and sweating profusely.

Hua Rong saw that the big guy was frowning, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Wu Gong, don't be angry, the wounded soldier has an abscess on his back, and he is rude and disturbed, it is really helpless, please forgive Wu Gong." ”

Forgive me, I'm stingy? Wu Kang's face was even darker, Tian Sheweng was very bad, and he deliberately ruined my image of "loving soldiers like sons and being happy with soldiers", and he must be reprimanded: "This official told you that no matter what kind of illness the brothers have, whether they are injured on the battlefield or not, they must be treated in time. Do you take the words of this official as the wind in your ears? ”

"The lower officials don't dare, Wu Gong is tolerant", Hua Rong hurriedly apologized, and said tremblingly: "The medicinal materials prepared by logistics are all to stop bleeding, wind chill and fever, and there is no treatment for abscesses... Please forgive Wu Gong! ”

Wu Kang's face was as black as ink, and he said sharply: "This officer also told you that the purpose of the logistics ambulance team, the health of the soldiers is greater than the sky. Explain again and again, no matter what medicine is missing, you must report it as soon as possible. You... Go and untie your clothes, and the officer wants to check the injury. ”

Hua Rong was like being pardoned, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly ran to the bedside. Everyone was silent, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and the anger of the big guy was very scary. The wounded gritted their teeth and persevered, unable to make a sound. Soon, everyone's breathing became heavy, and they all felt nauseous.

The abscess the size of a copper coin, dripping milky white pus, emitting a foul smell, is really disgusting! Wu Kang went to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the abscesses in his waist and eyes, rolled in his abdomen under strong pressure, and silently recited "The Self-cultivation of Actors". Nervous and worried, from the inside out, the Oscar actor went online, slowly lowered his head, his lips were attached to the abscess and sucked, and he tasted the taste of pus.

The onlookers were unbelievable, Di Renjie was dumbfounded, the big guy was... Emulate Wu Qi? Although it is an old routine, the effect is quite good, and the big guy is a talent. Small favors that are not expensive, in exchange for the belief that others are working hard for you.

The faces of the wounded were flushed, and the victims were agitated and tears flowed from their eyes. Di Renjie had no doubt that if he returned to the battlefield, as long as the big guy gave an order, these people would rush to the front, put life and death out of the way, and fight desperately to the death.

I remembered the old saying in my mind, the poor do not associate with the rich, and the people do not associate with the officials. The rich and the bureaucrats, with money and power, what do you pay back? What is there but a bad life?

The drama spirit gradually got better, forcibly paralyzed the taste buds, lowered his head again and again, and spit out pus again and again, until he sucked out the red blood. Spit lightly, keep your face calm, imitate the surgeon, and extend your left hand out of your shoulder.

Di Renjie was very eye-catching, pulled the cork and handed over the alcohol, and asked the big guy to clean the sores; Hand out gold sore medicine and bandages, and let the big guy bandage it. This matter will definitely go away, and the reputation of loving soldiers like sons is definitely in the bag. The generals care for the soldiers, the soldiers work hard for the generals, and our bosses are also out of the way in order to quell the rebellion. Lao Xi'er, I asked myself, I can't do it for the soldiers.

Wu Kang according to "The Self-cultivation of Actors", it is not appropriate to make a long speech at this moment, and silence will win sound. Slowly stood up, wiped the soldier's eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled the quilt on. Out of the corner of his eye, he didn't say a word, and turned to leave the tent.

Di Renjie hurriedly followed, and neither of them spoke, as if nothing had happened. The brothers continued to patrol, looking in the direction to go to the prisoner of war camp, did the big guy enjoy acting?

At the construction site in the northwest corner of the barracks, a prisoner of war camp was temporarily opened, and the militiamen set up tents for the prisoners of war, complaining from time to time. Near the eastern side of the site, heavily armed militia stood in a circle to guard prisoners of war, with patrols passing by from time to time.

Wu Kang and Di Renjie came, and they heard from afar that in the patrol circle, someone scolded: You rebels and rebels deserve death. Wu Gongzhai is kind-hearted, heals your wounds, and gives you food. Not only are you unthankful, but you are also wasting food? Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, give me a beating...

The beating and scolding were chaotic, but I didn't hear the wailing, and I don't know who shouted: Wu Gong and Di Gong are here...

The scene was quiet for a moment, the soldiers got out of the way, and the bearded chief hurriedly saluted, gritting his teeth and complaining: "Wu Gong Rongyu, according to your orders, anyone who hurts his muscles and bones will be given a bowl of rice porridge to drink." But he didn't know what to do, so instead of drinking, he knocked it over. ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal, squinting and scanning around. All the prisoners of war squatted in a group, holding cooking cakes and gobbling them up, and no one took care of the five-grade officials.

In the direction of Shi Chang's finger, a young man was lying on his stomach, wearing tattered linen clothes, stained with blood, his cloak was scattered, and he was constantly convulsing. Only the thumb of the right hand remained, and the fracture was scorched by fire to stop bleeding and scarring. In front of it is overturned rice porridge, a few grains of rice are vaguely seen, and the mouth of the porcelain bowl is on the ground.

Wu Kang knew that the right hand of the prisoner of war was abolished, and he was not used to using his left hand, so he knocked over the porridge unsteadily. Shi Chang was so angry that he ordered his men to beat him violently. Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, walked over slowly, crossed his body with his legs apart, stretched out his hands through his armpits, slowly pulled him up, and squatted down together.

The picture is very weird, the militia is dumbfounded, and the prisoners of war are looking up. Di Renjie walked over quickly and helped out. Wu Kang came to him, grabbed the left cuff with his right hand, and wiped the mud on his face. Seeing that there were blood stains on the cuffs, he looked down at his body, and there were dried blood stains everywhere. From the post-war period to the present, I have been busy, and I haven't had time to change clothes.

After a moment of silence, he took off his official hat and carefully wiped the mud on his face with those two hats and ears. Showing a slightly immature face, a sluggish and dull gaze, no one is a ghost or a ghost. Looking at his age of about twenty, the best moment of his life, he was brainwashed by Chen Shuozhen and became a rebel in a daze, which is really evil.

Sigh softly, pick up the bowl on the floor, and shake it twice. Bend down to take the corner of the robe, wipe the porridge stains in the bowl, and wipe the mud at the mouth of the bowl. When he came to the chief, he took the small wooden spoon and came to the porridge bucket. A large spoon is filled with porridge, the mouth of the spoon is buckled to the mouth of the bowl, and the porridge soup is in the empty bowl.

Continue to scoop the spoon, slowly tilt the spoon, empty the soup to leave the thick rice, and turn the rice porridge into steamed rice. Squatting in front of the disabled prisoners of war, the small spoon was full, and a gentle smile was put on: "A bowl of porridge for each meal of the seriously wounded is a rule set by the official, and you can't take the lead in destroying it." What the official can do is to thicken this bowl of porridge to the maximum. Eat, young man! ”

The spoon was sent to the mouth, and the gaze was still glazed, and for three minutes, the lips opened slightly, and the chin began to chew. Spoonful after spoonful, his pupils gradually focused, and his surroundings became quieter and quieter. Halfway through the rice porridge, I suddenly cried loudly, crying heartbreakingly, mixed with "I am guilty" confession...

Grief infected all around, and the prisoners of war had red circles in their eyes, some of them shed tears, and some of them whimpered and sobbed. Some prisoners of war knelt on the ground and kowtowed, leading all the prisoners of war to repent of their crimes. The militia was also infected, and the bearded man took the lead, and the militia clenched their fists and bent down to the end.

Wu Kang was gentle, put the spoon in the bowl, and patted the little prisoner of war on the shoulder. Di Renjie was a little moved, a little admired, and more worried. After all, they are rebels, and it is inappropriate to do so, it will cause gossip and even slander from people with good intentions.

When the crying gradually stopped, Wu Kang sent out a porridge bowl and handed it to the little prisoner of war. Standing up and looking around at the prisoners of war, he said in a frustrated voice: "You are prisoners of war, and you are also my military merits. But for this official, the safety of the people under his rule is more important than the military industry. ”

After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "You attacked Wuzhou, entered Sanheshu in Lanxi County, and in more than a dozen villages in the west, some of the people did not have time to transfer, and they were captured and held hostage by you. After three days, I will talk to Tong Tianbao and exchange you for the people. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the militia was the first to be shocked, people killed good people and risked merit, and the big guy exchanged merit for good? It's incredible! Di Renjie was also stunned, and at the same time he was convinced, after this operation, "loving the people like a son" couldn't run. The prestige and appeal of the big guy are rooted in the hearts of the Wuzhou army and the people, so why worry about the morale?

At the same time, whether it is Chen Shuozhen or Tong Tianbao, they will agree to exchange. Don't dare to disagree, otherwise you have to take the blame and ignore the life and death of your subordinates.

Well...... It seems that there is a trick, and Di Renjie is clear: the root of the condensation of the rebels is the official coercion and the people's rebellion; The source of morale is the unforgettable hatred of dirty officials. However, the more you hate dirty officials, the more you respect good officials. The big guy's move said that I am a good official who loves the people like a son, and it is wrong for you to hate dirty officials and take revenge on good officials. Such a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle fundamentally shook the morale of the army.

Well...... It seems that there is a trick to come, Di Renjie pondered with his eyebrows, and once again understood in his chest: If it is just to exchange people, there is no need to heal the prisoners, let alone act. Such a degrading and noble person, and influencing the hearts of captives, is not a benevolent heart, but a malicious intention. These more than 300 captives are Chen Shuo's really hot potato, which can neither be thrown nor hot.

If I were Chen Shuozhen, what should I do? Di Renjie began to empathize... I would suspect that there must be a conspiracy for dirty officials to exchange military merits for the people, and these people were bought? Looking at the wound being treated, I will be more suspicious, and how should I deal with it?

First of all, I can't kill them, they fought hard for me, unfortunately I was captured, and if I killed them, it would chill the hearts of my subordinates. It's not in the hands of the officers and soldiers, it's in my hands, what's the matter?

Secondly, you can't stay, whether it's a spy or not, you can't stay. The slogan of my army is to kill the stolen officers, and these 300 people exist, always silently reminding their comrades-in-arms that you are attacking good officials. This is one of the things that shakes the morale of the military.

Di Renjie remembered that the story of a daughter buying horse bones was exactly the same as the big guy's acting. In ancient times, there were kings who wanted to buy thousands of horses, but no one sold them. The subordinates in charge of finding spent a lot of money to buy thousands of horse bones. The monarch was very puzzled, and the person in charge explained: You buy the horse bones with your money, and the horse seller will think that you are sincere and buy them with a lot of money, and the horse will be sent soon. Sure enough, within half a year, many horse sellers came to the door.

When the battle breaks out again, if a dilemma arises, with them in front, the rebels may not fight to the death, and may choose to surrender. Because surrender can live, it can be used to exchange for the people, which is the second thing that shakes the morale of the army.

This group of people cannot be killed, not kept, and not driven away. Muzhou is in chaos, food is extremely scarce, and the troops can eat, and driving them away is to let them die, and it still chills the hearts of his subordinates.

The more Di Renjie thought about it, the more frightened he became, the big guy was too talented, more treacherous than the old fox. showed a helpless wry smile, too lazy to continue thinking, and left Chen Shuozhen to entangle. At this time, I listened to the instructions of the big guy, and I left the exchange of people to myself, and took over the task decisively, and the younger brother solved your problems.

After the show movie was completed, Wu Kang inspected the barracks, lined up with Di Renjie to eat, gradually felt tired, and went back to the camp to rest. Lifting the bedroom curtain, it was like being struck by lightning, my mother, why are you here? Without saying a word, he turned around and left, and the coquettish drink followed: Stop... In!

Cui Xiaoqing sneered again and again, and circled around twice, yin and yang weird: "Oh, the big hero is back?" Take the lead and charge into battle, it's amazing! You bastard who kills a thousand knives, if you die, who am I bullying? You... Wow."

This is embarrassing, I scolded myself and cried, Wu Kang was ashamed. didn't bother to explain, the grandson pretended to be the end, licked his face and said good things. Tired and dry-mouthed, repeatedly raised his hand and swore that he would never dare again, and finally coaxed someone, which was harder than fighting.

Cui Xiaoqing decided to give him a chance and give him some sweetness, so she said coquettishly: Big brother, come and hurt each other.

The style of painting changed too fast, Wu Kang couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and said: Friendly reminder, I just sucked abscesses on the soldiers, why don't you brush your teeth first... Hmm

was so entangled, I don't know how long, the tent curtain was opened, and Xiucai excitedly shouted: Good news from the boss, Chen...

The picture is inappropriate, he turned around in an instant, and turned his back to the report: The news of Tong Tianbao's defeat, Chen Shuo has really gotten it. The inner brothers sent a message, and Chen Shuozhen had already decided to lead the main force to support. The rebels are preparing to march and are expected to reach Sanheshu in about seven days. And also... I didn't see anything!
