South Wu Country, Jinbei Ferry.

"Look at the dots, look at the dots, you still need people here!" One of the team leaders shouted as they stood on the embankment by the ferry.

Soon there were bands of soldiers, with their various tools, and began to clear the ferry.

This is the northernmost ferry port of Nanwu, and it is also a direct border with the Central Plains, after learning that the Lanhe Empire collapsed overnight, it is natural for Nanwu to deploy a large number of troops in this area to prevent the influx of rogues or rebels.

Fortunately, after so long, the major forces based on the Lanhe Empire have not set their sights on the ancient small country of Nanwu, they are still fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, but after the first battle of mustard, which is stronger and which is weaker, but they probably know.

Jinbei is also the most well-informed place in Nanwu, and the war in the Central Plains will be sent directly to the palace of Nanwu through the camp in Jinbei as soon as possible.

In the relatively closed news of the Southern Wu Kingdom, it is very difficult to know the situation in the Central Plains, but now, the news about the defeat of the "Northwest King" in the Central Plains has spread in Southern Wu overnight.

For this news, the Southern Wuguo regime has no intention of concealing it - it is really because it can't hide it.

The mustard water leads directly to the Huaijin River, and in the past few days, the upper reaches of the Huaijin River have not only flowed down the crimson blood water, but also a large number of corpses, war horses and soldiers' corpses.

The corpses, swollen by the blisters, floated on the surface of the river, densely covered the surface of the river, and the river turned dark brown and smelled of blood.

Except for a small number of corpses of soldiers of the Imperial Guard, most of the rest were soldiers dressed in Northwest Army uniforms. Even if Nanwu is closed again, the uniforms of the direct army and the border army of the suzerainty Lanhe Empire are still very clear.

Like a fiery scene, the whole of Jinbei is a pot of porridge - if the corpses in the river are not disposed of in time, it will not only block the river, affect the water transportation on which the Southern Wu Kingdom depends, but also cause epidemics.

Fortunately, a large number of people were arranged in the camp of Jinbei before, so it was just busy, and what was so busy was the current situation in Jinbei.

Thanks to the tripartite scuffle in the Central Plains, the trade between the Southern Wu Kingdom and the Central Plains has now stalled for several days - lacking the convenient mode of transportation of water transportation, and can only rely on manpower to transport goods out of the rugged and ancient mountain roads. This kind of transaction method is simply difficult to meet the transaction volume of large goods, and can only transport some small goods through mountain roads, which also makes the prices of the Central Plains rise a few points again in disguise - since the collapse of the Lanhe Empire, the entire Lanhe Empire has fallen into endless wars, and countless people have appointed themselves princes.

The war burned the fragile economic system of the entire Central Plains, and also made the agricultural production of the Central Plains almost stopped.

"Captain, there's a living man here!" A recruit scooped up a man who was still a little angry.

The soldier had been in the water for a long time, and even a little delirious, and even lost his ability to speak. After being scooped up, he just stared at his godless eyes, whining and not knowing what he was shouting.

"Just kill him." When the captain was called, he glanced over and ordered.

"But, this isn't the enemy." The recruit grabbed the man in the water and shook it: "You have something to say!" ”

"I can't save it," the captain shook his head, he enlisted in the army a few years earlier than this recruit, and he had experience in this area as a soldier in Nanwu, "It is the glory of a soldier to die on the battlefield, let him die happily." ”

Before the recruit could react, several veterans around him had already helped clean and tidy up with it.

"This is the battlefield, and it's easier to kill people than to save them." A veteran does not forget to teach.

"Sometimes killing people is also a kind of mercy, moving the body over." The captain said.

This kind of thing is constantly happening at several ferries in Nanwu, for Nanwu, instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to treat these half-dead strangers who are not friends or enemies, it is better to give them a good time, and they don't need to get any information, the military uniforms of the Northwest Army have said it all.

Tianjiao, who once suppressed the young people of the entire Lanhe Empire and couldn't raise his head, successfully swept away the great calamity in the north with Hu and the young general who was the most trusted by the young emperor.

This is a very incredible thing, a generation of legends fell, although life and death are unknown, but just from the number of corpses at the Jinbei ferry, it can be roughly inferred that the invincible Northwest Army will be in a state of collapse since then...... An army's battle losses of more than 30% are already considered heavy losses, but from the number of corpses, there are already tens of thousands of people who have drifted through Jinbei alone.

The Northwest Army in the Central Plains is afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, and few people will not think so.

This tragic situation also successfully dispelled the idea that the radical generals of Nanwu went north to the Central Plains and were anti-guest-oriented.

The Northwest Army, under the leadership of Zhao Fu, did not taste a single defeat (of course, except for a few people, they didn't know that there was an oasis city on the desert), and they all folded into the big whirlpool in the Central Plains, and Nanwu's catties and taels may not be able to please.

What a tragic battle, the corpses on the Huaijin River had been floating for several days, and the court of the Southern Wu Kingdom had dispersed the inhabitants along the Huaijin River, forbidding anyone to drink the water of the Huaijin River for a generation.

At present, the water used in Huaibei camp is all mountain spring water picked down from the mountains more than ten miles away.

"It's going to take a while." From time to time, some people have the same complaints, but they are the same, and they only complain, and after complaining, they silently continue to devote themselves to the salvage work.

The Huaijin River is an important lifeline of Nanwu, not only an important water trade route, but also guards the national gate of Nanwu, its importance is self-evident, some people will complain, but no one will be lazy.

The Huaijin River is very wide, and there are many corpses floating on it, not only soldiers of the Northwest Army, but also war horses. The salvage work is not simple, although the camp of Jinbei has temporarily built several temporary dikes on the river, it is still impossible to intercept all the corpses, and many corpses will continue to drift downstream along the current.

Not only Jinbei, Jindong, and Jinnan are also doing the same salvage work, but because Jinbei is in the upstream, closest to mustard water, it is also the hardest hit area where the corpses are floating.

The soldiers of the Jinbei battalion alone could not salvage all the corpses, and the final finishing work still had to fall in the Jinnan River Valley.
