Chapter Twenty-Three: Girl, Can You Read?
"Wen Ze, you say? What's the deal? ”
The other lieutenant was visibly eager.
"Hehe, there is no other bandit!"
Yu Ban looked at his colleague and smiled slightly.
"Bandits? How can it be? The captain's face was full of shock and disbelief.
Yu Ban didn't explain, just looked at the Taihang Mountain area.
"It's cheap to wait this time, I really want to wait for a while......"
It was the first time Yu Ban had seen a thief like Zhou Cang, and he couldn't help but have a good impression in his heart.
"Cut off the heads of these Hun soldiers and take them back to receive merit......"
When he was thinking about it, the captain was already instructing the soldiers to cut off the heads of the Huns who had been killed in battle, and according to the usual style, he could go to the government to receive the reward with the head.
Yu Ban frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
……
Zhou Cang didn't know that he was almost going to fight with Yu Ban, one of the legendary five good generals, Yu Wenze, and once he used his butt to fight, he knew that he would lose very badly.
At this moment, our Zhou Da boss is frowning and looking at the casualties counted.
A total of 2,750 people were killed in this battle, of which 352 could not be identified (because these more than 300 people have been unrecognizable, in addition to the tattered clothes on their bodies can be determined to be the brothers of the cottage), the cottage has 2,500 brothers (referring to the strong soldiers), of which 1,800 were lightly wounded, 500 were seriously injured (after recovery, they can no longer participate in the war), originally more than 6,000 people participated in the war, and now the dead and alive are only about 5,300, and the remaining 1,000 people cannot disappear out of thin air. Needless to say, they were all deserters, and only eighteen of the nearly 100 Taiping soldiers who had been trained by Zhou Cang for two or three months were left, and all of them were wounded.
Zhou Cang clenched his fists, and there were only 500 people on the opposite side, and the casualty ratio was actually eight to one, which was too cowardly.
Continuing down, an additional population (that is, the woman who was wounded by arrows) seized more than 300 pairs of armor, 250 swords, 400 war horses (more than 100 of which had minor arrow wounds), and gold, silver and jewelry, with a total value of more than 10,000 taels of gold.
"What a loss!"
Zhou Cang couldn't stop panting, the powerful cottage just now could be said to be a big injury after this battle, and the captured materials were barely enough to satisfy all the people in the cottage to survive this winter.
"Wang Tieniu and Gu Erniu were killed in battle, and Xue Baihu was seriously injured...... "The more Zhou Cang summed up, the more he felt that it was not cost-effective, maybe it would be easier to loot the county town than this.
The biggest gain may be those hundreds of war horses, and the first cavalry unit of Baihu Village can finally be established.
After half a month's rest, under the arrangement of Xue Wenshan, the only scholar in the cottage, all the looted gold was exchanged for grain and cloth.
The old and young of the cottage were laughing and laughing, and they were happy because they didn't have to freeze or starve to death.
The only one who may be unhappy is Zhou Cang.
Six thousand people went into battle, one thousand fled, and nearly one-sixth became deserters, which sounds like a dead man.
The bandits are accustomed to being free and scattered, and usually rush up after winning a swarm, and they can't beat one by one, and they run faster than rabbits.
Even if the cottage has hundreds of thousands of bandits, when they encounter the elite troops of the imperial court, the final fate is the footsteps of Bu Zhangjiao.
The army, apparently well-trained, can move forward bravely on the battlefield and will not abandon the comrades around them.
Thorough reorganization is an inevitable trend, and Zhou Cang has arranged for Xue Wenshan, the first dog-headed military division of the cottage, to carry out a series of reorganization plans.
The first thing to do is that the population enters the household, which sounds a bit nonsense, but this is a decision made after careful consideration by Zhou Cang for a long time.
After the population enters the house, the families of all the soldiers who died in the battle for the cottage will have the cottage to support, and the deserters will implicate the family, and the family will be expelled from the cottage because of your escape, and it is basically impossible to survive without the cottage.
The second point is to rectify the 'public security' of the cottage, in the past, there was a soldier raping ** woman in the cottage, and Zhou Cang just scolded him, and sometimes even turned a blind eye. It is imperative to set up a special public security law enforcement team to maintain the stability of the cottage.
The third point is the most important, if you want to make a career in troubled times, military strength is particularly important.
……
After a month's time, Zhou Cangyi racked his brains and listed a total of seven military regulations:
First, those who lie about military intelligence will be beheaded.
Second, those who escaped from the battle were beheaded.
Three, the rapist ** woman is beheaded.
Fourth, those who embezzle property will be beheaded.
Fifth, those who form a party for personal gain will be beheaded.
Sixth, those who gather to make trouble are beheaded.
Seventh, those who do not obey the order will be beheaded.
This is nothing compared to the seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin. (Han Xin's military regulations are known to everyone at Baidu, so there will be no nonsense here)
There was not much opposition to the promulgation of these rules, because at this moment, everyone in the cottage was basically a die-hard 'fan' of Zhou Cang.
"My lord, the woman wants to see you."
"Oh? She hasn't gone yet? It's been a month? Just leave by yourself when you're well, and you can still afford to eat white rice here? ”
Zhou Cang originally thought that the woman who was looted by the Huns had already left, but he didn't expect that she hadn't left.
"This ...... Lord, you better go and meet him! Xue Wenshan wanted to speak and stopped, he already had a certain understanding of Zhou Cang's character.
Knife mouth tofu heart.
……
"Knock Knock Knock"
"Girl, can you come in? I am Zhou Cang, the master of Baihu Village. Zhou Cang still maintains the gentlemanly demeanor of his previous life, and when entering the girl's room, he must knock on the door first, and he can only enter after obtaining permission. (That's what the teacher said, no matter whether others believe it or not, Zhou Cang believes it anyway.) )
"Ah...... Come in. ”
A sweet voice came from the house, and the owner of the voice was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this bandit leader to be so polite.
"Squeak"
The door was pushed open, and a woman was seen standing at the table, which was full of food and drink.
"Nima, Lao Tzu saved your life, use Lao Tzu's medical soldiers, eat Lao Tzu's food, and finally use Lao Tzu's cook, Nima, thank Lao Tzu for his own reluctance to spend money......"
As soon as Zhou Cang entered the room, he didn't look at the woman at first glance, but looked at the food on the table.
"The leader's life-saving grace, the little woman can't repay it, and she prepares a little wine to express her gratitude......" The woman bowed slightly and lowered her head.
"Alright, alright, saving you is just a convenient thing, don't care."
Zhou Cang sat down at the table with his ass, and so far he hadn't seen the face of the woman in front of him clearly, anyway, Zhou Cang didn't care very much, so he couldn't let others promise him.
"Come, sit down, and tell me who you are. Where do you live? I'll tell you that someone from your family will pick you up. ”
Zhou Cang picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and drank a glass of wine from himself.
"The little woman, her name is Cai Yan, the word Wen Ji, and her father Cai Yong ......"
"Cai Yan? Good name? Listening to your extraordinary conversation, I don't know if you can read, girl? ”
Zhou Cang has been looking for literate people for a long time, hoping that someone can decipher the 'secret book' that he has been carrying in his arms without knowing a word.
"See? The little girl learned the piano and literacy from her father since she was a child......"
"What? What do you say your name is? Zhou Cang suddenly remembered something, and looked at Cai Yan with straight eyes.
"Little woman, Cai Yan ......" Cai Yan's voice was as small as a mosquito, thinking that some of his words had stimulated Zhou Cang, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Zhou Cang can be regarded as seeing Cai Yan's appearance clearly, and Zhou Cang's mouth is watering.
