Dai Yan got off his horse, walked to Le Cheng's side, and pulled out the pear flower gun in his body. Then he said to the entourage beside him: "Collect Xiangguo's body and send it back to the ancestral land of the Le family for burial in the future!" ”

The entourage agreed in unison, and then did what Dai Yan ordered.

Seeing this, Ji Hu walked directly to Dai Yan's side, snatched the pear flower gun, and then asked Dai Yan: "Now that Le Cheng is killed by me, then can I have a fief in the Song Kingdom and split the land as the king?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Dai Yan asked sharply: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that your female soldiers are only allowed to go to the battlefield as a late-stage army?" Now that you have broken your previous promise, it's good that I don't hold you accountable, and you still want to take credit for this? ”

Hearing Dai Yan's words, Ji Hu immediately exploded, and pointed the pear blossom gun in his hand at Dai Yan and said: "As an army, our female soldier team should naturally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, when did I promise you that I would not be able to go to the battlefield?" The order you issued today is to order the whole army to pursue, and our female soldiers, as part of the Taoqiu army, naturally need to obey the military order. Now that we are pursuing Le Chenggong, it is natural to kill him here. If there is no reward for meritorious service, how can Cao Gong explain to the Taoqiu people? ”

Dai Yan then defended: "When I ordered the whole army to pursue, it did not include the logistics team. As medics, you female soldiers should clean up the battlefield after the war, and you should not pursue them without permission. And you can kill Le Cheng, is it really something you can do? If I hadn't brought people here, I'm afraid you would have been wiped out. ”

Ji Hu directly stopped Dai Yan's words, picked up the pear flower gun in his hand, and asked, "This gun is my weapon, is the blood on it Lecheng?" ”

Dai Yan was suddenly speechless.

Ji Hu then said: "Le Cheng died under my gun, this is an undoubted thing, Cao Gong, as a virtuous son in the world, you don't really want to break your promise in such a thing, right?" ”

Dai Yan finally knew why Confucius said such a thing as "only women and villains are difficult to raise".

However, even if the woman is "difficult to raise" and "difficult to deal with", he still needs to send Ji Hu today and give her an explanation. Seeing Ji Hu's invitation, he surrendered and said: "Since you said so, then I will recognize your merits, and I will naturally reward you when the war is over!" ”

Hearing Dai Yan's promise, Ji Hu's previous anger disappeared in an instant, and he turned into a happy expression and said to Dai Yan: "In this way, thank you Cao Gong!" ”

This kind of emotional change made Dai Yan stunned. He had heard in his previous life that women were fickle, but he had never changed his mood so quickly, and he could go from a state of extreme anger to euphoria in a second!

Ji Hu received a reward from Dai Yan, and then beckoned her female soldiers to start building the battlefield. When Dai Yan saw her cleaning the battlefield, her eyes were shining, as if tears were overflowing!

For this princess of the Zhou room, Dai Yan is really convinced! Her emotional changes are unbelievable, judging from Dai Yan, even the best actress in later generations is not as fickle as her!

However, Dai Yan didn't know that Ji Hu's changed emotions were actually a true reflection of her heart. The reason why she wants to take credit for herself is not just for herself, she wants Taoqiu and even the world to recognize their strength! When she got what she wanted, and saw her sisters die on the battlefield, knowing that it would take a terrible price to get such glory, she would naturally grieve for the sisters who sacrificed!

Dai Yan led the guards out to find Ji Hu, although he deviated from the main road from Xiayi to Suiyang, but it was an unexpected joy to be able to kill Le Cheng, the head of the Le family. He ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield here, and the remaining Le's soldiers and even the Le's young master, he just sent people to disperse them, and there was no more pursuit.

After dealing with the affairs here, he returned to the main road with the guards and the Ji Fox people. At this time, the Taoqiu army had already formed a crushing offensive against the Suiyang army! The ordinary clan soldiers of the Huang clan and the Le clan alone were captured by more than 60,000 people, and the number of people killed was innumerable!

After the battle of Xiayi, and even the subsequent pursuit battle, the decisive battle between the Taoqiu army and the Suiyang army has basically eliminated the main force of the Suiyang army, and Taoqiu's future is bright!

Under Dai Yan's command, Taoqiu's soldiers slowed down the pursuit, escorted all the captured Le clan and Huang clan soldiers back, and arrived at the Suishui to wait for Dai Yan's disposal.

For Dai Yan, although these captives were all Taoqiu's enemies, he would never do anything like what the Qin army did after the battle of Qin Zhao Changping. After all, these captives are all Song people, and they are all considered to be the same ancestor as Taoqiu people, and they all have the same blood flowing in their bodies!

On the other hand, today's Taoqiu is different from the Qin State after the Battle of Changping. The main reason why the Qin army killed prisoners in the Battle of Changping was that the Qin State itself was already short of food, and there was not enough food near Changping. However, Taoqiu itself was not short of food, and with his back to the water, he could bring enough food to feed the captives!

To Dai Yan's surprise, when Dai Yan let these captives eat their first full meal, most of the captives had a weeping expression! When Dai Yan came to inspect, some people even walked directly to Dai Yan's side, knelt down and kowtowed to Dai Yan and expressed their allegiance!

For such a situation, Dai Yan was extremely surprised! Because Dai Yan knows very well that as a native of the Song Dynasty, he knows very well how much the Song people value faithfulness, and some people even regard faithfulness as their life, and they are unwilling to betray the monarch for the rest of their lives! Why are these captives so attitude now?

After Dai Yan inquired carefully, he finally knew the reason, these captives had never eaten a full meal when they confronted the Taoqiu army! And during the battle of Xiayi, most of these soldiers went to the battlefield hungry! It is no wonder that during the Battle of Xiayi, after the Taoqiu Army and the Suiyang Army fought, in a short period of time, the Suiyang Army was defeated!

Forcing a group of originally loyal soldiers to the point of defection, Dai Yan really understood Suiyang's economically disadvantaged position! I also know what kind of level Suiyang's lack of food and even lack of military salaries has reached!

As a result, he also truly recognized how powerful the war potential of today's Taoqiu is in this era!

Dai Yan did not object to the defection of the captives, he only selected those prisoners who were willing to throw themselves into Taoqiu for training, and had no intention of sending them to the battlefield. At the same time, for the prisoner camp by the Suishui, he also provided them with sufficient food on time.

Of course, in order to prevent these captives from having enough to eat and have nowhere to vent their energy, Dai Yan issued another order to the generals in charge of managing the captives: let these captives build a solid camp wall by Suishui as a residence for the captives.

Dai Yan only gave a general order for the disposal of these captives, but he didn't expect that it was his vague order that would actually build a new city by the Suishui!

And in the process of dealing with the captives, by the Suishui side, Xia Yi, who was originally left behind by him, actually took the initiative to find Dai Yan and was willing to surrender the city!

For Dai Yan, he had no intention of attacking Xiayi. With the sailor controlling the entire Suishui, a small city like Xiayi on the shore is almost negligible in terms of the threat to the Taoqiu army!

However, Dai Yan was still very happy to take a city without much effort. He encouraged Dr. Xiayi, and still let him take his original position, just sent a few auxiliary officers to the city to assist in the management, and symbolically sent a little army to garrison the city, and left this city behind!

After doing these things, he regathered the soldiers of the Taoqiu Army, a total of more than 70,000 people, and under his leadership, directly arrived at the foot of Suiyang City and began to attack the strongest fortress of the Song Kingdom!

As the capital of the Song Dynasty, Suiyang was an important town in the southeast of the Shang Dynasty before the Song Dynasty. For more than 700 years, after the Song Dynasty was operated by the ancestors, this place has become the world's leading city!

The city is not only extensive, but also has an outer wall that is more than 10 meters high. The castle is close to Suisui and has a moat that leads from Suishui as a defense. And if the height of the castle is slightly higher than the river, it can also protect the city from the risk of flooding!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, during the period of King Chu Zhuang, the most powerful Chu State, the army of Chu State besieged Suiyang, even if the city reached the point of "eating from the son", Suiyang was not broken! In the Western Han Dynasty, when the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was held, this city was the capital of the Liang State, blocking the 300,000 troops of Wu and Chu from besieging the city for several months, and made great contributions to Zhou Yafu to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms!

This shows how strong this city is! Such a strong Xiongcheng is a difficult bone to gnaw on for Taoqiu!

Now that Dai Yan only has 70,000 troops in his hands, it is definitely not an easy task to break through this city in a short period of time! And Dai Yan, who was under the city, saw the city wall of Suiyang, which was more than ten meters high, and he was not too interested in capturing the city by means of strong attack!

For him, it is very difficult for a fortified city like Suiyang to attack from the outside, even if he has the advanced siege tools of this era, ladders and ballistas. The fortress is the safest to attack from the inside!
