"The corpses are bloody, and the blood flows Kawahara Dan." Wars are tragic, and every war, big or small, causes many people to lose their lives forever. This small battle that took place outside Fox Mountain finally ended with the comprehensive superiority of the new pawns of Saigo. More than 120 Hushan thieves lost their lives. More than 80 people were injured in a variety of minor and serious ways. However, in the future, the seriously injured will be sent back to the West by the Saigo Tuntian Guards in a 'humanitarian' way, at least it will make them suffer less. As for treatment. Hehe! Their lives are not worth it! Ancient wars were brutal. Victories with zero casualties were almost non-existent (not counting the direct surrender of the enemy. )。 The new soldiers of Xixiang also paid more than 20 casualties, but most of them were minor injuries.

After the war, the soldiers of Saigo began to collect the spoils of war from the captives and corpses. They deserve it. Except for half of it, the rest belongs to them. After all, in ancient times, soldiers were willing to follow you out to fight for wealth and officials, and the Xixiang Army was naturally no exception. When you enter the countryside, you must follow the customs, and don't play any moths. Not to mention the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where the literacy rate was only one or two percent. Don't instill in them any lofty ideals, this is something that only the big people in the upper class can play.

"A bunch of poor ghosts! Why is there nothing good? With the help of his friends, he had just taken off his armor and was scraping for the first time in his life.

Compared with two months ago, Yu Yu has significantly strengthened a lot. Although the person has become darker, both mentally and physically, the whole person has changed drastically compared to two months ago. Due to his excellent performance in the training of new pawns and his strong body, Yu was organized into a heavy sword and shield soldier, and was also promoted to captain.

Yu Yu's words were immediately approved by several of his subordinates nearby. After working for a long time, I met a group of poor ghosts. Not to mention money, not even useful objects. Now, they only hope that when the lord rewards them after the war, they will give them more for the sake of working so hard. But there is not much hope, after all, this group of fox mountain thieves is too weak.

"Yu Pre, what are you still doing there! Assembled! Get back to Lao Tzu. Later, you will roll over to Lao Tzu and burn the corpse. Yu Yu, the head of the new Santun, roared angrily.

Since they were a little far away, they didn't seem to hear the rally.

Coincidentally, after the new pawn was trained. Yu Yu became Yu Pre's top boss. But for this little cousin, Yu Yu did not have a trace of preferential treatment, but was more strict. And Yu Yu was also very afraid of Yu Yu, a simple and rude fake chief.

After hearing Yu Yu's roar, Yu Yu hurriedly rushed over with his subordinates. They knew that the fake captain never told lies. If you can say it, you can definitely do it.

After they retreated, the entire battlefield was handed over to the Tuntian soldiers, who not only had to clean up the seriously wounded Hushan thieves who were not dead, but also urged the captives to start burning their corpses. And the fox mountain bandits on the walled city rarely did not attack. This is the unspoken rule of both sides. It's July, and if these corpses are left unexposed and left untreated, they are likely to cause a plague. This is something that neither side wants to see.

……

"Fan Fake Sima, this battle is good!" Liu Ye praised Fan Yong, who came to return to the flag.

Others around Liu Ye also began to praise Fan Yong. Although some of them are in competition with Fan Yong, they have no deep hatred, and the basic superficial work still has to be done.

"The Lord has praised it! The kings have praised it! Fan Yong said modestly with joy on his face. Apparently he was in a good mood.

"But this time it hurt the fox mountain thief, the fox mountain thief is very capable, and he will not dare to come out in the future. And most of the remaining Fox Mountain thieves should be the elite of the old camp, and some of them are not easy to fight! After being polite to everyone, Fan Yong's painting style changed and he was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter! Just because the fox mountain thieves have no trenches, no suspension bridges, no antlers, and no traps even outside the city, the walled wall is only two battles high to stop my Xixiang army! Liu Ye said disdainfully.

"Besides, don't forget, inside Fox Mountain, Benjun still has internal responses." Liu Ye continued.

"But you can't slack off, and you still have to continue as planned." Liu Ye suddenly said seriously. As a ruler, you can be optimistic, but you can't be blindly optimistic.

"No!" The people answered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, noon is almost here! I'll go back to the camp for a while. In the afternoon, the new soldiers Qitun and Tuntian were responsible for guarding and cleaning the battlefield. The remainder will be temporarily repaired for half a day. Liu Ye continued to order.

"No!"

……

Shi Zhao, Yecheng, East Palace.

It is different from the East Palace, which was full of uneasiness and panic a few days ago. Today's East Palace is in harmony. Guy is in a good mood today as the owner of the East Palace. At least until now, no hapless palace lady or eunuch has been carried out.

The crown prince washed the horse and Zhao Sheng, as usual, walked in unhurriedly. As the confidant of the crown prince Shi Xuan, he can freely enter and leave the East Palace.

As soon as Zhao Sheng walked into the main hall, he heard Shi Xuan's 'hahaha' laughter. At the same time, there was also a message: "Shi Tao thief, you also have today!" Schadenfreude and other sounds.

Zhao Sheng was still unhappy and sad and saluted Shi Xuan: "Minister Zhao Sheng greets His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Shi Xuan, who was immersed in joy, was awakened by Zhao Sheng's greeting. However, Shi Xuan was not angry, but happily stepped forward and said:

"Zhao Gong, your plan of 'retreating as advancing' is really wonderful! Shi Hu's old thing really stopped cutting Lone's military power, and Shi Tao's thief was also punished by the old thing for ten days of confinement for deposing Shi Qiao without authorization. ”

Zhao Sheng also said calmly as before: "Thank you Your Highness for your compliment, this is the duty of the minister!" ”

"Zhao Gong, you are not good at this. This kind of happy event should be happy and happy! Shi Xuan blamed slightly, but there was no tone of blame at all.

"Your Highness, if Shi Tao is not removed, Shi Hu will not die. We can't afford to take it lightly. His Royal Highness only temporarily retained his military power, and once Shi Hu discovered that our forces were not as weak as he imagined. He's going to get even harder. Zhao Sheng poured cold water.

"I know, it's really disappointing, Lone knows that as soon as you come, Lone's interest will definitely decrease." Shi Xuan said a little unhappily.

"What is the important thing for Zhao Gong to come this time?" Shi Xuan returned to his seat and poured a large sip of wine and said.

"Your Highness, the minister has brought two good news to His Highness this time?" Zhao Sheng said with a glance.

"Good news? Say. Shi Xuan suddenly became interested and said.

"One is Mu Cheng, Yang Bi and the two warriors have already mixed into the Dongming Temple." Zhao Sheng said emotionlessly.

"It's great to get in!" Shi Xuan said happily.

"And another?" Shi Xuan poured another big sip of wine and continued to ask.

"The third day of the next lunar month is the birthday of a favored wife of Shi Tao, and Shi Tao plans to hold a banquet in Dongmingguan!" Zhao Sheng, who was expressionless, finally had a smile and said.

"Is this true?" Shi Xuan threw away the wine jug in his hand, ran over and grabbed Zhao Sheng's arms, and said a little hideously.

"Your Highness, you have scratched the minister!" Zhao Sheng's face was a little painful.

"Sorry! Zhao Gong. Lone was so excited. Are you quick to say it's true? Shi Xuan asked urgently after letting go of his hand.

"It's true, the minister has already confirmed with the inside line hidden in the Qin Mansion. This is the opportunity I have been waiting for. Zhao Sheng rubbed his scratched arm and said.

"Hahaha! This is the best news Lone has heard lately! Shi Xuan raised his head and laughed.

Then Shi Xuan turned his head and asked, "Gong Zhao, how are you preparing?" ”

"Everything is ready, the blades are in place. Just wait for the time to come! Zhao Sheng replied.

"Good, good! Shi Tao, this time I want your life. Shi Xuanyin sneered.

……

After chatting with Shi Xuan for a few words, Zhao Sheng left the main hall.

Zhao Sheng moved slowly, and when he was about to reach the gate, he was greeted by a gorgeously dressed eunuch (senior eunuch). I don't know if it's because of his age, Zhao Sheng didn't pay attention when he walked, and he didn't know if he tripped over something. Fortunately, the gorgeously dressed eunuch was athletic and supported Zhao Sheng in time.

"Zhao Gong, are you okay?" The richly dressed eunuch cared.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Shi! Sorry for you! It's useless when you're old. Zhao Sheng laughed at himself.

"No trouble! No hassle! In the East Palace, who doesn't know that you are the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Do we slaves still have to rely on you? Eunuch Shi said with a smile.

Zhao Sheng didn't say anything, gently patted Eunuch Shi's shoulder, and then slowly walked towards the door.

After waiting for Zhao Sheng to walk out of the door, Eunuch Shi did not go to the East Palace to be on duty as usual, but returned to his room after asking for leave halfway.

After confirming that there was no one, Eunuch Shi opened the strip of cloth that he had been holding tightly in his hand. He looked at it with a blank face.

After a long time, Eunuch Shi sighed softly. I found a candle and lit it, and slowly burned off the strip of cloth.

Looking at the gradually disappearing strips of cloth, Eunuch Shi muttered, "Zhao Gong, why are you so troubled? Eight years ago, you saved our family from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Eight years later, you will send this monstrous wealth to our family again. You're so good to us! ”

"Don't worry! After you leave, our family will definitely help you to cultivate the ancestral hall, so that you can be worshiped by incense every day. ”

"That's not right! Our family still thinks of you in our hearts! It's too dangerous to help you in the Seminary, and our family may lose their heads. ”

"Zhao Gong, go all the way!"
