It was late at night, Zhao Min lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, all the scenes in front of him were bloody and flesh flying, and there were always the tragic cries of the soldiers before they died. The impact of this scene on Zhao Min is so great that there is still a lingering shadow on Zhao Min www.biquge.info this scene.

"What did God arrange for me to come to this plane?" Knowing that he wouldn't get an answer, Zhao Min couldn't help but talk to himself. In his previous life, he was positive, optimistic, kind to others, and achieved some achievements, so he has always recognized this positive philosophy of life. But when his soul crossed over, what he saw and heard completely broke his preconceived thought patterns. Here, it is not a joke that human life is not as good as dogs, the wealthy family lords have the power to kill and kill the domestic slaves at will, and when the war comes, the lives of the soldiers are only the existence of consumables, which is very difficult to accept for Zhao Min, who has always pursued ********. In the past, I read some time-traveling novels, and the protagonist immediately killed and decided as soon as he arrived in ancient times, and he was full of disapproval; But today, when he saw the lives disappearing in front of him, Zhao Min still felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart. Can I single-handedly change this society, this era, and change people's deep-rooted concepts? Zhao Min sighed in his heart, life is really like rape, since he can't resist, he has to bear it, maybe the only thing he can choose is the mentality when he endures. "Well, maybe next time I can choose to open my eyes and treat it as a treat!"

Thinking wildly, Zhao Min finally couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next morning, Zhao Min freshened up and tried to look as energetic as possible before going to the hall.

When I entered the hall, I found that everyone was already waiting in the hall. Zhang Qi, the county lieutenant of Juxian County, claimed that he was unwell and did not come to the meeting, it seems that he should have found that last night's battle was a little weird, and he knew that his identity was more sensitive, so as not to embarrass everyone, Zhao Min naturally did not allow it. After greeting everyone one by one, he asked, "You have worked hard in the past two days. What about the unknown? ”

Zhao Yun took a step forward, he was the military commander, and the content of the military operation was naturally reported by him: "Qi Beihai King, as of last night, there have been four large and small battles, killing a total of 371 enemies, including 216 thieves, one hundred and one dead soldiers in Beihai, and 54 soldiers in Beihai County; A total of 2,192 prisoners were captured, including 1,742 thieves and their families, and 450 soldiers from Beihai County. "The dead soldiers of the Beihai are the warriors of the Beihai Wind and News Division, and they are actually loyal to the martyrs, all of them are determined by death, and even Zhao Yun is a little silent when it comes to this. But soon he continued: "Thirty-seven of our people died, including eleven tiger ben and twenty-six county soldiers. ”

Zhao Min was silent, and the atmosphere in the entire hall also became gloomy. Zhao Min lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Xu Ming beside him: "It turns out that there is a carpenter in the village?" ”

"Uh...... There are carpenters naturally, and there are several carpenters who were originally carpenters, but they went up the mountain because their livelihood was cut off, and the carpenter work on weekdays was completed by a few of them. Xu Ming was a little confused, but he still answered honestly.

Zhao Min nodded, "Immediately arrange for them to build a batch of wooden boxes." He gestured the size with his hand, "Use the best wood, lined with silk silk, and it must be completed today, this is a military order!" ”

Then Zhao Min stood up and said loudly: "Cremate the corpses of these soldiers, collect the ashes in a wooden box, engrave the names and places of origin of the soldiers on the box, and arrange a special person to escort them back to their hometown for burial!" After that, he looked around at everyone, "The soldiers follow me to fight, I don't dare to guarantee that their lives will be worry-free, at least they can return to their roots." ”

Everyone was solemn and replied loudly: "Wow! ”

People in this era generally have two views on the fate after death, one is to pay attention to the burial of the earth, that is, to bury it on the spot after death; The other is to return to the roots of fallen leaves, but due to the inconvenience of corpse preservation and transportation, most of them adopt the former method. Zhao Min's approach is a kind of compromise, and the advantage is that at least the family of the deceased has a physical object to pay tribute to, which is better than standing on a mound. Zhao Min wants to express a kind of respect for the deceased, so this practice can be accepted by everyone.

Next, Xiahou Jie stepped forward, holding a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, and reported: "In the past two days, a total of more than 5,000 stones of grain, 100 horses of silk, and 200 horses of silk have been seized......

"Uncle, you just need to know these things, you don't have to report them in such detail; It is only necessary to tell everyone about the quantity of strategic goods. Zhao Min interrupted him with a wry smile, it seems that this uncle is a qualified official, but unfortunately he can't tell the point. If he continues to read it in such detail, he may not be able to finish it by lunchtime.

"Okay. As I have just said, in addition to this, I have obtained two hundred and seventy one-stone crossbows, seven hundred and ninety-seven standard spears, four hundred shields, three hundred and six swords, and six hundred and thirty-two infantry armors; In addition, there are 30 war horses, more than 70 horses, 100 carts, and other weapons of all kinds, but most of them are unusable. ”

Zhao Min silently calculated, now plus the number of surrendered, the number of troops has exceeded two thousand, and there are more than 1,000 old and weak women and children captured from the cottage, grain and grass plus the original reserve is enough for three thousand people for two months, the weapon has been able to do a handful and there is a slight surplus, and the armor is barely equipped to seventy percent, but unfortunately there are fewer war horses, plus the original is less than a hundred, there is no need to think about forming a cavalry, but you can build a scout team. The horse is a good thing, now all kinds of materials add up to double the original, on weekdays the cart depends on the horse, if there is an emergency, the horse can also take people to escape, in extreme cases can even kill for food.

"This victory is all thanks to your strength, and I am grateful!" Zhao Min bowed and saluted, "Minben Huangkou child, there are many deficiencies, I hope you will always give you guidance and teaching!" ”

Everyone was busy returning the salute and didn't dare to say anything. Zhao Min continued: "All the soldiers have worked a little hard in the past two days, I will repair it for a day today, and set off early tomorrow morning, I don't know what you think?" And they all nodded their heads in good faith.

Then they discussed some matters such as the route of the march and the reorganization of the prisoners, and seeing that it was not too early, they all took their leave.

Seeing everyone leaving, Zhao Min also planned to go back to make up for sleep, but suddenly found Xia Houjie standing at the door looking left and right, as if he had something to say, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, why don't you go back to rest?" But what else? ”

Xia Houjie glanced at the others who had already left, and nodded at Zhao Min: "King of the North Sea, talk inside." ”

Zhao Min followed him back to the hall curiously, but he didn't know what was important. The two stood still, Xia Houjie seemed to hesitate a little, and hesitated for a while before speaking: "Ah Min, you are now the king of the North Sea, I don't know if there are some things to say?" ”

Zhao Min almost laughed out loud when he heard it, the ancients liked to come to this set the most, and they "should not talk about it" at every turn, you said that you really shouldn't talk about it, you said dry hair? However, the change of Xiahou Jie's title shows that this is a private conversation between uncles and nephews, which is not enough for outsiders, so he gestured with his jaw: "Where is the uncle!" Not to mention whether the identity of the king of the North Sea has real power, just because you are my uncle, you can speak freely! ”

Xiahou Jie sighed: "Ah Min, during the war yesterday, I seemed to have unbearable intentions in your opinion, but right?" ”

In the end, it is my uncle, at least the focus is different! Zhao Min nodded, "Yes."

"If there is chaos today, relatives are in power, there are many feudal domains, and chaos is everywhere, which should be a sign of troubled times." Xiahou Jie carefully considered the words, as if he was thinking about how to continue: "Since Ah Min has been divided into kings, it is inevitable that he will fight on the battlefield on another day. The only concern of the superior is victory or defeat, and there must be no kindness of a woman! ”

Zhao Min knew what Xia Houjie meant, because he was afraid that he would abuse a good person at that time, and he would not be able to make a decision when he encountered a major event, and he might suffer from this. This is indeed for his own consideration, of course, and because now Xiahou Jie is pressing the treasure on himself, and the relationship is a loss, so if Zhao Min makes a mistake, he Xiahou Jie will also have to be unlucky. Maybe it's a little selfish!

But at least Xiahou Jie was really kind, so Zhao Min still bowed down and replied: "Thank you Uncle for your advice, Min should keep it in mind!" ”
