Chapter 210: After the War
Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and the anger in Mao Wenlong's heart has dissipated, and he did not kill all the enemy troops who surrendered. But these people can't be let go easily, there are more than 30,000 people, and it will be quite a headache to properly resettle them for a while and a half.
After Mao Wenlong consulted Hong Chengchou to no avail, he had to temporarily place these people in the military camp in the back mountain, and use the military discipline of the Dongjiang Army to discipline them well, and then consider what to do with them?
After cleaning up the battlefield, the whole army immediately set off to return to Ye County. At this moment, the fire caused by the fierce fire oil tank has been extinguished, but the temperature is still extremely high outside the city. From a distance, it can be seen that the entire city wall has been completely blackened.
It can be seen how powerful the fire was at that time, but fortunately, the fire did not reach the city in the end. And the war did not bring actual harm to Ye County, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
The east gate had already been opened, and Chen Qiyu led the soldiers defending the city to go straight to a mile away to welcome Mao Wenlong's arrival. Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan are impressively listed, and in this battle, the two daughters also helped a lot in internal affairs, and managed the inner city in an orderly manner, which brought a lot of convenience to Chen Qiyu to defend the city.
The women didn't let the eyebrows, although the two of them didn't go directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they also did what they could. also played a good performance in this battle, and Chen Qiyu secretly admired it in his heart.
It is said that there will be a virtuous helper behind a successful man, and it seems that Mao Wenlong's success has a great relationship with the two responsible women behind him.
Chen Qiyu will obviously think too much, in addition to Mao Wenlong's success in addition to being a traverser, the biggest reliance is on the 30,000 old Dongjiang Army, which is the foundation of his start.
Mao Wenlong led a large army, carrying 30,000 prisoners slowly, Chen Qiyu saw it from a distance, and immediately rushed up to greet him, but before the people came close, they had already stopped their horses. After dismounting, he knelt directly in front of Mao Wenlong and shouted: "Welcome back to the general army." ”
Mao Wenlong smiled, this time in the city defense battle, it can be seen that Chen Qiyu does have some talent, he smiled and said: "General Chen doesn't need to be polite, this time you are ordered to defend the city, and the general army is rewarded." Let's go, let's go back to the city first! ”
Mao Wenlong just dealt with Chen Qiyu here, but there were two shadows rushing over there, and you didn't need to look too much to recognize that it was Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan.
When the second daughter came closer, Chen Lan rushed directly to Mao Wenlong's side, but Hong Ziyan anxiously rushed to Hong Chengchou's side. At this moment, it is clear who is worried about whom.
Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised in his heart, although Hong Chengchou is Hong Ziyan's father, but after all, he is in front, shouldn't he say hello to himself first, and then care about her father?
Fortunately, there was still Chen Lan by his side, and Mao Wenlong was somewhat comforted, so he didn't care about Hong Ziyan's little mistake.
The group returned to the city with laughter and laughter, and as for the prisoners and the army, Chen Jisheng and others naturally went to arrange it, and Mao Wenlong did not need to handle such trivial matters personally.
"The war didn't scare you, did it?" When Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan entered Mao's mansion, they opened their mouths and whispered in their ears to ask.
Chen Lan smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, Ye County is run by Xianggong as strong as an iron bucket, and Xiaolan is not afraid that the enemy will be able to attack him." Besides, didn't you tell us early in the morning that you were back? So, there's no need to be afraid. ”
Mao Wenlong was relieved to hear this, and laughed, Chen Lan, who had not seen her for a month, seemed to have a much more cheerful personality. The lively and cheerful Chen Lan is the Chen Lan that Mao Wenlong wants to see.
Everyone soon arrived at the meeting hall in the front yard, and after they sat down, Mao Wenlong said bluntly: "This time Zhang Xianzhong suddenly attacked, I have already asked clearly, but this guy is temporary." The fight was the idea of coming to rob Ye County, but fortunately, our army worked together to eliminate the enemy, and Ye County Ye was safe and sound. This time, the whole army is tired, and the general army will also be rewarded according to merit, and no one will be left behind. ”
"Xie Zongbing!" The entire hall was suddenly filled with people kneeling.
"Get up, get up, you're welcome. General Chen, could I please tell you, how much will the enemy army be destroyed in this battle? After Mao Wenlong said reliably, he immediately got to the point.
"General Qiqi, this time we killed one or two thousand enemies, and most of them died in the big killing weapon of the fierce fire oil tank. The number of enemy wounded reached 30,000, and most of those who were burned by the fire could not survive, and we were not able to rescue them at present, so our subordinates directly ordered them to be killed. Chen Qiyu obviously hesitated when he said this.
After all, there are so many wounded soldiers, and most of them are burned by fierce fire oil, all of them are severely burned, and it is almost impossible to survive in this situation of lack of medical treatment and medicine. In order to avoid wasting limited medicine, Chen Qiyu took matters into his own hands to eliminate all the wounded enemy soldiers who had no hope of surviving.
But in this way, he couldn't clarify Mao Wenlong's thoughts, so Chen Qiyu was still quite worried at this moment, for fear that Mao Wenlong would blame him for being ruthless.
But Chen Qiyu is not completely without benefits in doing this, it can be said that the opportunity is still half and half, and he is also gambling now, betting that Mao Wenlong will have the same opinion as him. In this way, Mao Wenlong will definitely be grateful and will naturally have a good impression of him.
After all, it was he Chen Qiyu who made the move and ordered the killing of the wounded soldiers and prisoners, and he was responsible for this infamy, and Mao Wenlong could be regarded as not knowing. There is no need to be scolded by the world for this!
Mao Wenlong looked at Chen Qiyu meaningfully, and when he saw him panicked, he saw him speak: "Hard work General Chen!" ”
A simple sentence made Chen Qiyu ecstatic, he already knew what Mao Wenlong meant, and things finally went the way Chen Qiyu expected.
On the other hand, Hong Chengchou on the side was quite disgusted with such behavior, after all, these peasant armies were at fault first. But no matter what they say, they are all people, and it is not good for anyone's reputation to execute these wounded captives in this way.
Although there is a last resort, so what? If you don't save it, it's just that you still use a knife to kill people directly, so vicious and ruthless, it is indeed not the work of a righteous man and a gentleman.
Although Hong Chengchou was dissatisfied with Chen Qiyu's approach, he didn't say much? The position is different, the views and practices will definitely be biased, Chen Qiyu did this time is really criticized, if you can look at things from the perspective of Mao Wenlong or from the perspective of Ye County, he does have merit.
Besides, now Ye County still has to bear the rations of more than 40,000 captives, which has overwhelmed Ye County, if he can't arrange it quickly, Mao Wenlong still has troubles.
