Beishui County, Meigu.

As Huo Yi and Zhao Guang congratulated Yizhai one after another, the situation was gradually brought under control, and the Han army also seized more and more materials from each village.

The identity of the commander Li Qiucheng and more than 100 people under his command immediately changed from a guide to a coolie who carried it, and has been responsible for assisting the Han army in transporting the grain, grass, money and silk of each village back to Dazhai in the past few days. Xu is because of the mountains and forests since childhood, they walked up the mountain road as if walking on the ground, the Han army only finished a trip, they often have already walked back and forth, this ability makes the Han soldiers and soldiers of the same country admire for a while.

In the evening of this day, Li Qiucheng personally led his subordinates to escort a batch of grain and grass, which was also the last batch of materials seized from the Shanwei Village.

On the way, a sturdy man suddenly said: "Let's not talk about grain, grass and cloth, there are hundreds of nearly 1,000 catties of salt we have carried in the past few days. ”

Seeing that someone was talking to another Han and said, "Yes, I have grown so big, and I have never seen so many good salts." By the way, you said that after we are busy, will General Pingnan reward us with some! ”

"yes!"

"It should be rewarded to us, right?"

"I don't think so, it's all the Han people who fought back by themselves, why did General Pingnan want to give it to us?"

"Hey, we're guides and coolies, so why are we also hard workers......"

These words obviously aroused the interest of the companions around them, and everyone who had been silent all the way began to talk about it.

At this moment, Li Qiucheng, who had been silent, suddenly paused, turned around and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Are you dying? We besieged Yudao City, we have committed a capital crime, finally General Pingnan did not pursue it, gave us a way to live, you don't shrink your head and be a man, at this time you dare to worry about their spoils? You must remember who you are, and don't even think about the thoughts you shouldn't have, otherwise you will bring disaster to your people! ”

His words were like a basin of cold water that was cold to the bone, and suddenly extinguished the excitement that he had just mentioned. The people were again dejected, and said no more, but hurried silently.

During the rustling march, a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old looked puzzled, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Marshal, when the battle is over, will General Pingnan let us go back?" I miss my mother. ”

Li Qiucheng paused suddenly when he heard this, and after a long while, Fang Youyou sighed and said, "You miss your mother, why don't I miss my wife and children day and night?" But the Han people have always liked to enslave other peoples, and I really don't know how long General Pingnan will requisition me and wait......"

******

In the main hall of Dazhai, Jiang Wei was lying on the desk, concentrating on recounting the events that had happened since his trip to the paper.

Just made a start, and suddenly saw Huo Yi having wind under his feet and rushing inside.

Jiang Wei put down the brush and said with a smile: "Shao came first, but the seized materials have been counted clearly?" ”

Huo Yi was happy and said with a smile: "I was about to report to my brother that the materials in Dazhai have been roughly counted." Brother knows that there are 80,000 stones of rice here, nearly 10,000 catties of fine salt, more than 800 pieces of intact rhino skin, more than 1,000 pairs of fine beef tendons, more than 100 barrels of lacquer, and 5,000 gold, 10,000 silver, and 1 million copper coins! Gao Ding's gang plundered everywhere, and really saved a lot of money, but now it's cheap for our army! ”

"So many?" Jiang Wei frowned slightly.

He secretly thought that Gao Ding ruled tens of thousands of clansmen, and he had been plundering in Nanzhong for many years, and some accumulation was normal, but unexpectedly, the number reported by Huo Yi was much more than he expected.

At present, these materials will be used for military purposes, which is certainly a happy thing, but in addition to being happy, Jiang Wei can't help but feel a little nostalgic. Probably a lot of it is ill-gotten gains, and the more seized today, the more blood it means that Gao Ding will stain it.

Huo Yi was young after all, and he didn't notice this layer, he arched his hand, and said with a smile: "The materials for the rest of the villages have also arrived one after another, and the younger brother will take over the inventory." ”

Jiang Wei bowed his head and said: "There is Lao Shao first." ”

Huo Yi just walked out of the front foot, and then Jiang Wen frowned and reported inside: "Young master, some prisoners are very dishonest, they keep yelling, and some of them move their hands and feet, and some villains ......can't hold it down."

Jiang Wei said without thinking: "Those who dare to do it will break one leg, and only serve one meal a day, and if you take a breath, you will be honest tomorrow." ”

Jiang Wen thought about it, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he said happily: "The villain understands!" He got his way, smiled, and turned away.

People like Huo Yi and Jiang Wen who report their work and wait for the verdict come in and out from time to time, or without interruption. Jiang Wei was repeatedly thought of, so he had to decide on the military first, and then put down his pen, and the document that could be written with a cup of tea was written for two hours today.

After Jiang Wei checked that it was correct, he got up and stretched a big lazy waist.

In the past few days, the military has been busy, he has not slept for several days, at this time he feels slightly tired, he feels hungry in his stomach, and he actually "coo... Coo...", it sounded twice.

Jiang Wei finally remembered that the rice and water had not entered today, and the Gainhan soldiers were nervous, and almost everyone was sent out on a mission-

Zhang Wei was responsible for arranging the fortifications, Huo Yi was responsible for counting the seized materials, Zhao Guang was responsible for maintaining law and order in the village, and Jiang Wen was also sent to watch the Yi prisoners, but there was not even a person to serve around him.

He quietly walked to the front of the hall and hooked up the curtain at the door of the hall, but outside the curtain, a famous Han army was working with his own duties and in full swing.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei secretly said: "Well, since everyone is so busy, I'll go to the man's camp to get food by myself." ”

When he thought of food, he only felt that since the Southern Expedition, the cooking skills of the soldiers in the army have made great progress, and no matter what ordinary food, they can make new ideas - rice balls, with the fragrance of pickled plums, covered with a piece of dry kelp, are sweet and fragrant; Flatbread, dogwood, mustard, spicy and refreshing, he can make three in one go.

The rice ball cake came to his mind, his stomach rang out in response to the situation, and his saliva flowed. Jiang Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and took a step straight to the gangfu camp.

The battalion was originally in charge of Huo Yi, but after the southern expedition, Huo Yi's courage on his shoulders grew, so he applied to be handed over to his subordinates.

The subordinate Jiang Wei he recommended also knew that he was an honest and responsible person, and he was also reliable, so he was also very relieved, since the Southern Expedition, he was only a shopkeeper, and almost never set foot in the food camp, and today was the first time he set foot in the food camp located on the west side of the village.

The conditions for the southern expedition were simple, and the logistics personnel such as the food camp, the artisan camp, and the stables were placed in one place, and they were heavily guarded.

"Hello General!"

"See the general!"

When the guards saw that the Lord was coming, they all paused and saluted, Jiang Wei slowed down and bowed his head one by one.

Entering the camp, the first thing that caught my eye was more than a dozen soldiers washing dozens of military horses. Although the army of the Southern Expedition was composed of foot soldiers, the army also raised horses for generals and scouts to ride.

"Shhh

As soon as he stepped into the camp, there were bursts of cheerful neighing from the stables, and it was Xiaobai who smelled his master's scent from a distance and screamed happily.

"Haha!" When the sky was not yet dark, and the white was bright again, Jiang Wei saw Xiaobai at a glance, stepped forward with a big laugh, patted its huge head, and couldn't help stroking its neck.

At this moment, I heard a horse cry of "Xi Yuyu", and another horse rushed into Jiang Wei's arms in the dark part of the stable, as if he was coquettish.

In the eye, but seeing that this horse was fiery red, with a thin head and a high neck, and slender limbs, Jiang Weifu was stunned when he saw it, stunned in place, and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
