Linghuang De quickly counted the results of the battle, and immediately sent the bamboo slips to Lin Yuyan's camp.

"One thousand one hundred and thirty-seven of the enemy's heads and two thousand and eighty-four prisoners."

It does not include the dozens of people who Lin Yuyan put back.

In the face of such a number of captives, the daily rations to feed them are not a small number, but since Lin Yuyan said "don't kill the pawns", this Shuyang order will naturally not be violated.

However, how to arrange these soldiers is difficult to do, so stay here and take care of them, not only is the daily ration a large amount, but it also requires a lot of manpower to take care of these soldiers.

It's not a good deal.

Listening to these embarrassing words of Shuyang, Lin Yuyan also scolded: "Now that it is August, the people of Shuyang are about to harvest in autumn, and so many people are brought out to fight, so the crops in the fields don't need manpower?" There is also a disrepair at the wharf in Shuyang, and the ditches in various parts of Shuyang also need to be dredged again, don't these require a large number of manpower! ”

Hearing that, this is troubled by the large number of prisoners of war is the first time to wake up from a dream, it is about to be the autumn harvest season, the Shuyang army and the flood of Pingci Thorn Yang, in the flood brought out thousands of strong men in Shuyang, if you don't go back, I'm afraid the autumn harvest is a problem, and the dredging of various channels is also a big thing, it is a matter that requires a large number of people, and these prisoners of war can just be used at the moment.

"Let's let these prisoners of war stay here in the south of Jianyang for the time being, after all, His Highness still has tens of thousands of acres of land in Jianyang in the hands of the Haoyang Hao family, which also needs to be taken care of. Shuyang Ling looked at Lin Yuyan and said.

Lin Yuyan was reminded of the Shuyang Order, and he also thought that he still had in his hand the conditions under the promise of sending troops when the troops were sent from Shuyang, and the tens of thousands of acres of fields in Jianyang also nodded and agreed to the arrangement of the Shuyang Order.

After the problem of prisoners of war was initially solved, Lin Yuyan was thinking that it was time to send troops to recover the territory of Jianyang, after all, this is the target of this dispatch, according to the information provided by the prisoners of war, the original bandits in Jianyang all the way to the people reached seven or eight thousand, this time the troops were not good, the damage was more than 3,000 people, and they were still young and strong among the bandits, and there were more than 5,000 old and weak people left behind in Jianyang, Lin Yuyan needed to plan it.

When Ge Bao's bandit army returns to the hinterland of Jianyang, it will inevitably understand that the so-called "Wangcheng Guard" was originally a bombing army, and it will inevitably regather a usable bandit army, after all, this time Ge Bao took away a large number of bandits.

When the time comes, the bandit army, which already knows the roots of the Shuyang army, will definitely not suffer a big loss like today.

If it was Lin Yuyan, he asked Jing Yi: "The bandits took the Gou clan's territory and attacked it with fire?" ”

Jing Yi, who was standing on the side, nodded and said, "Under interrogation, Ge Bao used hay to light the fire, and then killed the Gou clan's territory. ”

"Arrest those bandits, ask about the distribution of non-bandits in Jianyang, and now send an order to Xiang Ying, Xiao Kun and others, go north tomorrow, and go to the interior of Jianyang!" Lin Yuyan said to Jing Yi.

Jing Yi also nodded.

……

The bandits led by Ge Bao were pursued by the official army of Shuyang and the "Wangcheng Reinforcements", but it was only a few miles, and they stopped the momentum of continuing the pursuit, but Ge Bao guessed that this might be outflanking from a detour, so they did not dare to stop along the way, and fled with people.

The more he escaped, the more Ge Bao felt that something was wrong, it was impossible for the reinforcements from Wangcheng to reach the south of Jianyang in one day, and the second uncle, who was the least fortunate to defend the reinforcements in the direction of Wangcheng, would also send someone to send a message when the defenders were defeated, it would be so silent.

Ge Bao had never encountered any pursuers since he had just escaped for a few miles, and he knew that he had been defeated there when he returned to the Thorn Yang Mansion.

"How can this be reasonable, the official army of Shuyang will actually bomb me!" Ge Bao was also annoyed, he really didn't expect that the official army of Shuyang, who was not too treated, not only defeated him, but also used this kind of indiscriminate means.

Ma Bo also heard the news of his own defeat, and also heard the news that Ma Dalong was injured, and immediately sent a thunderous fire, wanting to put the blame on Ge Bao's head, but he didn't expect that Ma Dalong, who got Ge Bao's life-saving grace, recognized all the blame: "Dad, this time it was my son who was careless and didn't listen to Brother Leopard, so he fell into the black hand of the official army in Shuyang!" ”

When Ma Bo heard this, his anger disappeared for the most part, and he looked at Ma Dalong and Ge Bao who had returned, knowing that now was not the time to pursue them, and said: "You two brothers protect each other, I won't pursue you now, now you should call your second uncle back, and then discuss what to do next!" ”

Ma Dalong also asked: "Dad, have you dug up the ancestral tombs of a few old clans now?" ”

Ma Bo calmed down and said: "The ancestral tomb of the Gou family is almost there, and the others have been dug up some time ago. ”

Ge Bao also stepped forward and said: "Now you should call the second uncle back, gather people, take these things into Fangcheng Mountain, and then take refuge in the Koreans!" ”

Ma Bo sighed, and then said: "Now you can do this, Da Long, you go and call the brothers of the Ma clan together, Leopard, you too, gather all the people under your hands, the official army of Shuyang has taken more than 3,000 of us, all of them are strong, and now I am afraid to discuss how to attack the interior of Jianyang as soon as possible!" ”

Ge Bao and Ma Dalong nodded, and then each went out to gather people.

Ma Bo stood alone in the room, looking at the two voices leaving, his face was stiff, and his eyes were gloomy......

When Ge Bao returned to the barracks, he unexpectedly found that the lieutenant Qiang Yuan had already returned, and he did not get up because of a leg injury.

"Big brother!" When Qiang Yuan saw Ge Bao, he shouted the same, then glanced around, and said sadly: "Xiao Chang'an has gathered more than a thousand brothers, and now there are more than half of them!" ”

Hearing this, Ge Bao glanced around, it was indeed a huge military camp, and now there were only two or three hundred people left, most of them still had blood stains on their bodies, Qiang Yuan said this, and the people around him were all slightly crying, and Ge Bao was not good at asking Qiang Yuan how he escaped.

But Qiang Yuan said it himself: "Big brother, we lost unjustly this time!" There were no Wangcheng reinforcements at all, after we fell into the siege, a few brothers carried me to a secret place to hide, only to find out afterwards that the Wangcheng reinforcements were pretended to be by the officials and soldiers of Shuyang, there were no thousands of people at all, and the military flags and horns were all deceived by the officials and soldiers of Shuyang, and they raised such a big dust with branches! ”

Ge Bao sighed, and no longer had any other doubts about Qiang Yuan's return, and also said: "This matter, I also just recalled and became aware of it......

Qiang Yuan also supported this body, and wanted to sit up, but also asked Ge Bao: "Big brother, what are you going to do next, the brothers are almost dead, you can't toss them anymore!" ”

Ge Bao nodded: "I know ......"

Then looked at the soldiers who were wailing because of the pain, Ge Bao's expression slowly became decadent, and then looked at the soldiers and said: "I took my brothers out of Xiao'an that day, I wanted to bring my brothers to enjoy happiness, today we got a lot of wealth and things, but the brothers are missing a lot, I, Ge Bao knelt down here, and made amends to the dead brothers!" ”

Qiang Yuan grabbed Ge Bao and said, "Big brother, you don't have to do this, the brothers won't blame you!" ”

Ge Bao looked at everyone, everyone also looked at Ge Bao, no one spoke, Ge Bao slowly spoke: "Today, Ge Bao is not hiding from all brothers, the officials and soldiers of Shuyang are discussing how to attack Xia Jianyang now, brothers want to quit now, just say it, I will give him enough food and treasures, so that he can return to his hometown safely!" ”

Hearing Ge Bao's promise, everyone also looked at each other, and soon one of them stood up and said, "Captain, I'm ...... My eldest brother has died on the battlefield, and there are only three people left in the family, my mother, my widowed sister-in-law and my nephew, I can't die, otherwise they won't have a way to live......"

Ge Bao nodded, and then continued to sweep towards the others: "But there are others?" ”

Two or three more people stepped forward.

Ge Bao nodded, then looked at these people, and instructed the people around him to pull out an ox cart, which was full of grain, and looked at the few people who wanted to return to their hometowns: "This cow and the grain on the cart are what we gave you, you go back to your hometown!" ”

The men looked at the cart full of grain, then glanced at the brothers around them, and then said, "We're sorry brothers......

"Let's go......" Ge Bao said slowly, and then urged a few people to hurry up.

When these people heard this, they slowly stood up and came to the side of the ox cart, one of them took the reins of the ox in front, and several people supported the ox cart behind, and picked up the pole that drove the ox, and was about to drive the ox.

"Whew!"

The sound of a sword drawn!

Between the electric sparks, the four corpses fell next to the ox cart.

"Big brother, you!" Qiang Yuan really didn't expect that Ge Bao would go back on his word and personally kill the soldiers who had just promised to let them go, these are all his brothers!

Ge Bao wiped the blood-stained sword with hay, inserted it back into its scabbard, and then grabbed a generation of grain from the ox cart, and after untying it, he picked up a handful of grain and sprinkled it on the corpses of the four people.

Then he closed the eyes of the four with his hand.

"I can't go back to my hometown...... Ge Bao muttered to these days, then looked at the soldiers around him, and said loudly: "We, we can't go back to our hometown anymore!" ”

Then he glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and then ordered: "If they want to return to their hometown, it is impossible for them to go back alive, you bury them, and send them back for the last time......"

In the dark, Qiang Yuan's right hand was already clenched together, and he was dead on the ground, but he looked at Ge Bao with a flat look......

Ge Bao regained his grip on his sword and said to everyone: "Tomorrow, we will face the attack of the official army of Shuyang, and we will lead you to rush out!" ”

For some reason, Qiang Yuan found that Ge Bao was a little inexplicably sad at his words, but he still asked, "Big brother, where do we go next?" ”

Ge Bao replied: "Fangcheng Mountain, then we will go to the land of the Koreans!" ”

"Koreans?" Qiang Yuan looked at Ge Bao and suddenly asked, "Big brother wants to take us to join the Koreans!" ”

Ge Bao didn't reply, but after glancing around, he said that he was going to select the elite rebuilding front army and left.

There are many mosquitoes and flies in summer, and the smell of blood emitted by the pierced corpses next to the ox cart attracts a lot of mosquitoes and flies, and the cows swatt their tails to drive away mosquitoes and flies.

Qiang Yuan glanced at the four corpses, and finally made a decision, and immediately said to the people around him: "Bury them......
