Section 358 Attractive interests

A small boat docked, and Bai Hui just smelled it and avoided it.

The soldiers who came down from the boat took off their clothes and began to wash themselves in the shallow water. Someone was shouting: "This expedition, according to the Qin army's reward, you can buy twenty pieces of cloth here within a year, aren't you happy?" ”

The soldiers in the water also shouted.

At this time, what surprised Bai Hui was that Bai Qi appeared.

"Why is my brother here?" Bai Hui couldn't figure it out at all.

Soon, Xiang Shan, the commander of the Chu army, appeared, and hugged his fist at Bai Hui: "Wu Yue has been pacified, there is still a little resistance and nothing serious, it is my king who invited Wu Anjun to come here, and at this time I have obtained the permission of the king of Qin, and my Chu country has paid 50,000 slaves." ”

"Fifty thousand?" Bai Huixin said that 50,000 slaves was a big number.

Xiang Shan nodded: "It's indeed 50,000, but Dahejun doesn't know that our slaves are better off than the people here, better than them, better dressed, this is a good thing." ”

Bai Qi interrupted Xiang Shan: "Let's go into the camp and talk." ”

"Of course, Ben will wash the dust for Dahe-kun." Xiang Shan warmly welcomed Bai Hui into the camp.

Bai Huixin said that these people had found a treasure here, and the King of Chu had spent such a big price to invite Bai Qi to dispatch. You must know what the concept of 50,000 slaves is at the moment, and 10,000 slaves are a city, which is the value.

At this time, the world, firstly, because all countries are expanding outward, and secondly, because of the population, slaves are no longer the life of Les Miserables, not only a large number of slaves can become free people, but also those who are still slaves have at least food and clothing.

Take the Qin State as an example, the Qin State has increased the population of more than 100,000 slaves alone, and every year slaves become free people.

After entering the camp, Bai Hui asked Bai Qi: "Brother, is there a war?" ”

"I fought a battle, it was when I didn't arrive, Bai Ping led people to fight, the alliance of Wei, Han, Chu, and Qin had a total of 3,100 people, and about 12,000 enemies were fighting."

Bai Hui asked anxiously, "How about the battle damage?" ”

"One person!" Bai Qi stretched out a finger, this person had already surprised Bai Hui, but Bai Qi continued: "A total of one person died on both sides, no one was disabled, and 12,000 people were slightly injured. ”

"Ahh Bai Hui couldn't figure out how this one was fought.

Bai Qi explained: "The first people who came are fully armed. Several tribes here began to gather strength, and according to the report of the Tanma, the men of each tribe within a radius of about three hundred miles went to war. ”

"Yes, yes!"

"They had swords of brass, but very few, twelve thousand men about a thousand armoured soldiers, and fifteen hundred swords of brass. No bow, no crossbow. It can't be said that they still have some bows, but they are no different from no bows. The leader was the Bai Ping Division, which was well-armed, and after cutting off the enemy's bronze sword, he defeated the enemy with his fists. ”

After Bai Qi explained, he also smiled.

10,000 slaves for a city, at this price, Bai Ping didn't want to kill, but the officers with troops in Wei, Chu, and Han didn't want to kill either, in their eyes, these 10,000 captives were coins that could run.

"Very weak?"

"Very weak!" Bai Qi nodded very affirmatively.

After Bai Hui entered the camp, a scribe of the Chu State held a bamboo slip in both hands. Bai Hui opened it and took a look, this was what really surprised Bai Hui.

It's only been a few days.

The state of Chu alone brought almost 3,000 men and horses, as well as the corresponding grain, grass, and ordnance.

Then the slaves were brought back with about 5,000 men, and only a dozen or so died in accidents on the way. For this expedition, this is already half a city's gain.

More importantly, let Chu see a kind of pure profit.

That is, there is no war damage, only a little bit of food consumption, then the Chu State has already benefited.

Interests, if they are interests.

Bai Hui threw the bamboo slip back, and the scribe of the Chu State hurriedly reached out to take it.

Bai Hui commanded: "Do you catch any leader-level characters on the other side?" ”

"If you go back to Dahe-kun, there is."

Bai Hui asked again: "What kind of leader?" ”

Someone immediately stepped forward to report it.

"He claims to be a king, rules over more than forty tribes, and is the only one who wears silk and speaks the language of business. It's just that the attitude is a little arrogant, these days I have been saying that the elite of my subordinates are not here, and if the brave soldiers return from the battle, they will definitely defeat us. ”

After Bai Hui listened, he nodded slightly: "Tomorrow, I'll see him." ”

"No!"

It is said that it is a dust washing feast, there is nothing good here, because it is a marching battle, and the capacity of the ship is limited, and the total strength of the current army does not exceed 5,000 people, and the main force is 3,000 men and horses of the Chu army.

Capacity is limited, so it's easy here.

On the day Bai Hui arrived, just after the dust washing banquet, Xiang Shan accompanied Bai Hui to inspect the military camp.

I saw that fifty square wooden frames had been erected in the barracks, and there were ropes on the wooden frames that could be grasped by hands. When Bai Hui entered the barracks, the soldiers of Chu, Han, and Wei were lining up to be beaten, at least ten lashes, and most fifty leather whips.

Bai Hui smiled and asked, "General Xiang, is this a call to me?" ”

"Yes!"

Xiang Shan didn't avoid it, which surprised Bai Hui.

Xiang Shan said: "According to the military regulations of the Qin army, you must not hurt the people, and you must not disturb the people...... Xiang Shan's military regulations of the Qin army have reached the level of reciting them like a stream, and after he and Bai Qi came here, they singled out all the people who violated the military regulations, and some people have been punished, but there are still some people left, so they will look at it in the name of Bai Hui.

Bai Hui asked, "So, what does it mean to call me?" ”

Xiang Shan snorted lightly: "Where is the military judge?" ”

Immediately, an officer ran over, and Xiang Shan ordered: "Tell Dahejun what are the faults of those people who were punished a few days ago and those people who were punished today." ”

"Report to Dahejun, two batches of soldiers have been punished, and the first batch has been punished for neglecting military orders, and a total of forty-one have been punished. The second batch punished one hundred and three people, whose main faults were concealment of booty, late arrival for drills, and slackness at the sentry. ”

When the military judge said this, Xiang Shan interrupted: "This is punished in front of Wu Anjun." ”

The military judge continued: "Today's punishment, according to the military regulations of the Qin army, soldiers who go to war are not allowed to disturb the people under any circumstances, as well as contact with the enemy people without permission, or they must not use force against the enemy people. ”

Xiang Shan looked at Bai Hui: "Dahejun, these are the soldiers of Wei, Han, and Chu, and none of the soldiers of the Qin army have violated the rules, but I have to say a ......"

Without waiting for Xiang Shan to say anything, Bai Hui waved his hand to stop: "General Xiang, I have a new rule to order." ”

Xiang Shan didn't expect Bai Hui to not give him face and interrupt him, but he still said politely: "Dahejun, please speak?" ”

"There is one article in the military regulations, which are divided into the Central Plains military regulations and the conquest military regulations. I guess that more than half of these punished people may be unconvinced, I'm afraid that the woman of Chenguo took the initiative to post it. ”
