In the Hong'an camp, the broken teeth were still outside and did not return, and the stone beak also injured one foot and was unable to move, and the person in charge of daily affairs was a tiger man's old barbarian guard, who had risen from the thousand-legged tiger claw. This person can't read a few words, and he was exceptionally promoted because he was brave in fighting and able to command battles.

This kind of person is undoubtedly a reckless man in Lin Ji's mouth, and let such a person manage the camp, so everything in the camp is in chaos.

Most of the soldiers who returned from the battlefield were injured and suffered from the sequelae of the battlefield, so the order in the camp was not as usual. Many warriors shouted and fought everywhere, and some people slaughtered and injured elephants and horses, took skins and ate livers, and tigers did not pay attention to them.

There were drinks and other materials in the supplies of the army, and without saying a word, Tiger Claw had them all distributed, even those who were seriously injured and could not drink.

When the wine ran out, Tiger Claw grabbed the people from the Propaganda Department and asked them to organize a shadow puppet show or a song and dance performance immediately, and if they moved slowly, they would be reprimanded loudly.

These things have nothing to do with the mushroom picking, and she can't say anything, she is more concerned about the situation of the captives.

The captives are still being brought back from the wind and snow. These people were either dressed in tattered and bloody animal skins, or barefoot naked, all of them were shivering from the cold, and all of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and Cai Fu couldn't help but feel sympathy, quite empathetic.

She followed the captives to the barracks where they were held, only to be stunned by the bleak sight in the barracks. Dozens or hundreds of people were held in small barracks. There were so many people inside that there was no place to squat. They could only huddle with each other, shivering in a place where there was no fire and ventilation.

Outside these barracks, well-fed soldiers picked out the young women in captivity, gave them a small amount of food, and had fun, and were punched and kicked if they didn't comply. Some prisoners in the barracks shouted hunger and cold, and the soldiers were in a mood, and they would be pulled out and whipped or even slashed, and then the people in the house would be threatened so that the people inside did not dare to make a sound.

Velvet pickers remember that when the deer pickers were captured, at least there was a ration of food. But this is not the case at this time. The food supply here is only when the kitchen is cooked and pasted, and the soldiers will throw a little bit into it when they have leftovers. The time is not fixed, some lucky barracks can be lost once a day, others are left unattended for three or four days, and no one cares about them when they starve to death en masse.

Where is this prisoner camp? This is hell on earth!

Cai Rong huffed and went to find Tiger Claw, who was delivering drinks to the seriously injured in the wounded camp, and saw that the camp commander was talking nonsense with these seriously injured people who could barely move, while gulping down the wine that had been distributed to them, and he trembled with anger.

didn't go out of Chaolin, she didn't think that there were such brazen people in high positions within the kingdom.

Cai Rong asked loudly, but received a ruthless reply from this reckless man with a red face who had already drunk: "They have caused our brothers to suffer heavy casualties, and you still have to treat them well?" The king Ende left them without killing, which is already considered the king's mercy. But they have opposed us many times, and if they don't starve to death, how can they be obedient in the future? ”

When the wounded soldiers around heard this, they obviously thought this was the truth, and they all laughed.

"You're doing this nonsense. The Government Council has long had a way to appease the prisoners of war, and you are doing this because you want to torture them all to death! ”

"It's not up to me what the Government Council wants to do. They are prisoners of war of my brothers, and we can do whatever we want without disobeying the king's orders. Otherwise, you will have the king order to take these captives away. Tiger Claw grinned.

There was laughter from the injured people around him, and some people laughed and coughed incessantly.

Realizing that she couldn't communicate with this reckless man at all, Cai Rong turned around and walked out of the wounded barracks, only to see Yuji pushing the wheelchair-sitting stone beak waving to her in the distance.

Thinking of those poor captives, Cai Rong had no intention of chatting: "I will report everything I have seen here to the Prime Minister, if they don't remove this tiger claw, I will be a wild man!" ”

Stonebeak smiled and said, "You'd better go back in three days." ”

"Why?" Picking mushrooms is a little puzzled.

There happened to be a few soldiers passing by, and Stone Beak said to him left and right: "In fact, if you are willing to take over the camp in the past few days, Tiger Claw will pay quite a lot." He himself knows that he has no other strengths except for being able to slash and kill, so he chose to take over the camp in the past few days, which can be regarded as taking the blame for us. He's a man who is actually thick and thin. He brought up the matter of sending elephants to meet you. Under his management, few of the captives starved to death......"

Cai Rong said angrily: "I know how you didn't let Qingzhuang starve to death!" ”

Stone Beak whispered and said helplessly, "We know what you want to do, but the food won't arrive until three days later." ”

Cai Fu was stunned again, I wanted to say that the preparation for this battle has been going on for many years, how can there be insufficient logistics? But she quickly figured out the reason for this, and didn't say anything.

In the original plan, the battle with the Ten Directions would be fought after the snow, and after defeating the Ten Directions, they would invade their territory and suppress the women and children they left behind. In this case, the follow-up logistical supply is naturally also formulated according to such a plan. Without removing the people of the Ten Directions from their place of residence, the food needed would be less anyway.

However, the people of the Ten Directions played the battle of relocation at the bottom of the kettle, which completely disrupted the previous plan. Now Huaxia has paid a heavy price to kill most of the men in Shifang, and captured these women and children who have left their homes as prisoners, which has caused a large number of people to gather, which has caused a lot of pressure on logistics.

None of the 80,000 captives were captured in Hong'an's camp, and some of them had already been sent to killer whales, tiger forests, or northward to Maozhou and other places. But the people who were escorted out also needed a certain amount of food support, and even more than the prisoners held in the camps.

And now most of the Hong'an battalion are wounded soldiers, and the rations for these people cannot be reduced in any way. Until the new food arrived, the captives were forced to settle like this. Until the hearts of these captives are subdued, how many of their deaths are just numbers, and no one cares too much.

Thinking about this, thinking of the deer people who were also captured before and the experience of being driven out of the city, Cai Rong became even more sad: "Even if there is not enough food, I can't let them wait for death like this!" I'll go and report to the prime minister, and the people under my charge will be handed over to me at once, and I'll take them to fish and eat bark and grass roots, and it's better than waiting for them to die like this!" ”

As she spoke, she hurried to the radio.

"You ......" Stone Beak wanted to say that it was best for you to report this directly to the king, but he only said one word and was covered by Yuji. Yuji shook his head at him, indicating that he should not talk too much. Stone Beak had no choice but to swallow these words silently, and only said later: "Now the ice is not thick enough to catch fish." ”

Picking mushrooms did not respond.

As recognized as the smartest woman in China, Cai Fu acted extremely efficiently after recognizing the situation.

She spoke to Chaolin Cheng on the radio for a while, and after an hour, she was allowed to take over the rations of the approximately 40,000 prisoners and 3,000 Rong soldiers in the Hong'an camp, as well as the rations for the next three days of the 3,000 Rong soldiers. Because according to the previous plan, the 3,000 surviving Rongbing soldiers are also the subjects of Hong'an County.

After that, she took over the 3,000 soldiers first, and let them take care of the prisoner camp, so that other soldiers would not let in and out of the way. Then he distributed the men he brought, got a cauldron, moved out all kinds of food he had brought and some of the rations of the honored soldiers, and began to cook porridge in front of the prisoners' barracks, while at the same time let the people sent by the Propaganda Department to pacify the prisoners start their work and conduct the first round of counseling of the prisoners.

Huaxia has long been familiar with pacifying and subduing captives. The idea of pacification propaganda was mainly to put the blame for the war on the dead men and leaders, blaming them for taking the lead in revolting against the Chinese, ignorant of current affairs, and missing the rule that brought happiness to the Chinese people. Then let other people who voluntarily join the eastern tribes of China, and even the former neighbors of these Shifang people, come forward to tell the story, proclaiming how superior their current life is, and so on.

Listening to these stories for the first time hungry, of course, has no effect. However, the appearance of those former neighbors greatly reduced the vigilance of the captives.

The captives had a bowl of porridge with all kinds of miscellaneous grains, minced meat, and salt, and heard that there was some hope for their future life, so they regained a little hope. Some of the conductors of the mushroom pickers have also become reactive.
