Chapter 637: Mole Ants
readx;
Xu Huaide sat on a stone and gasped for breath, the armor on his body was untied by him, and only now did he have a feeling that he was going to collapse, he wanted to sleep, since the beginning of the battle yesterday, it has been twenty hours since he closed his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking up at Ren Jun, he smiled reluctantly: "General Ren, my brothers are tired, please ask your people to clean up the battlefield?" ”
Ren Jun nodded: "No problem, the general is going to rest, just have me here." ”
Xu Huaide advised: "General Ren hurry up, these Liao soldiers are just their vanguard, the Liao army's army and horses are estimated to be coming soon, we must repair these camps immediately." ”
Before Ren Jun could speak, the county commander twisted his fat body and walked over: "General Xu, don't worry, the soldiers and horses of the Liao people should not come, this is just the direction of their feint, the intention of the Liao people is to attract our army here, and then they have the opportunity to raid Zhending Mansion." ”
Xu Huaide and Ren Jun asked at the same time: "How do you know?" ”
Their anxiety could be heard in their voices, and the eyes of the soldiers around them were eagerly watching. That look made Zhixian feel a special sense of accomplishment, and the literati's problem immediately came out, first wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said slowly: "Two adults, one of them has been a twist and turn, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words. In this way, the cleaning of the battlefield will be left to our people, please don't worry, let me take my time. ”
The county and the master organized the villagers to start cleaning up the battlefield and burying the corpses.
Every corpse had to be searched, because inside the waist of the Song army soldiers, there was usually a waist card, and the waist card had the soldier's identity and home address written on it. Find out these waist cards, you can get a list of fallen soldiers, and then distribute a bereavement pension.
There were too many people killed in this battle, and most of the Song soldiers stationed here were killed, and the car behind Guan Huaishan was quickly filled with signs. Guan Huaishan looked at the person who pushed the cart: "I can't put it down, push it back and come again." ”
The cart was extremely reluctant: "You can put some more, you just pile it up." ”
Guan Huaishan shook his head: "No, these military masters were all killed in battles with the Liao people, if a sign is dropped, there will be a soul who can't return home." ”
The others didn't say anything, and the man in the cart turned over: "You are kind, we have so many deaths, and no one has said to give us a name or something." ”
It is true that no one thought of this, the magistrate has not counted the names of the villagers who died in the war until now, he thinks that this is completely unnecessary, the emperor's reward is for himself, for those officials, and for those squires, as for these untouchables, their lives are like ants, and they die when they die.
Not only Zhixian thinks so, but even the villagers who are still alive think so. A man sat on the ground and glanced at the cart: "It's lucky to be alive, and it's only bad to blame yourself for being dead, and you can't blame others." You just push your cart and you're done. ”
The car left, they could take a break for a while, Guan Huaishan found a stone and sat down, took the silver lock found on a dead corpse just now and shook it twice in his hand, it was quite heavy, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart. If this silver lock is pure silver, then he will make a small fortune on this trip.
He spat on it, and then wiped it vigorously with his sleeve, and after wiping away the blood and stains, he concluded that the silver lock was very valuable, because from the point of view of the pattern, the workmanship was very fine, and such fine workmanship would not be wasted on fake silver.
His eyes looked around, and after making sure that the people next to him didn't notice him, he quickly put the silver lock into his arms, and secretly thought in his heart that he would leave after the fight, and if he left, he would be able to enjoy the benefits brought to him by this silver lock, at least, a few meals of wine and meat.
Thinking of this, his palm couldn't help but touch the silver lock a few times through his clothes.
"What's in your arms?"
Lao Jiu suddenly appeared behind Guan Huaishan, and suddenly asked a question, which startled Guan Huaishan's whole person.
"No, nothing." Guan Huaishan's body was shrinking back, his voice trembling a little, but his hand subconsciously touched the silver lock.
Lao Jiu knew at a glance that this was the first time to be a thief, so he walked over slowly, grabbed Guan Huaishan's collar, and reached out to take out the silver lock.
After taking a look, his expression instantly changed to very fierce: "You just stole it, right?" You're not a little daring, huh? Everybody is desperately trying to steal something? ”
Guan Huaishan was very frightened: "Official, no, I didn't steal it, I, I,"
He didn't come up with a result for a long time, Lao Jiu leaned over and whispered: "I see that you are also an honest person, and you are also confused for a while to do this." I won't say it, and you don't have to tell anyone else, you know? ”
When Guan Huaishan heard this, he nodded busily. Lao Jiu smiled, turned around and left, and the silver lock fell into Lao Jiu's arms.
Guan Huaishan felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't know what to say. From birth to the present, although his parents are illiterate, they have always taught him to be a man of his duty, to cause less trouble, and to take a step back when he encounters trouble.
But why take a step back? Just like a few years ago, the imperial court ordered the wasteland, saying that whoever opened the wasteland belonged to whom, Guan Huaishan was not idle for a winter, and dug out the few acres of mountain land at the top of the mountain, and then the rich man in the village said that the mountain was bought by their family, so the wasteland on the mountain should also be theirs, Guan Huaishan fought the lawsuit to the county, it was this fat county, and the rich man won the lawsuit.
He couldn't figure it out, but there were too many things he couldn't understand for so many years, and the only thing he understood was that his father and mother were right, just live honestly, and if he didn't understand, he wouldn't understand.
After he said for nearly an hour, Xu Huaide stood up from his chair: "Let me summarize, in fact, this is the case, a team of Liao soldiers went to rob Weijiazhuang, the local villagers resisted, and the nearby villagers also rushed to support, and later, under the leadership of the county magistrate, you won the battle against those Liao people, and also searched out the Liao emperor's holy decree and their battle plan from the Liao people, who led the team. Right? ”
After hearing this, the magistrate nodded: "What the general said is extremely true, that's it." ”
Xu Huaide smiled: "Lord Zhixian, you are really good, you told us the story of such a simple thing for an hour?" ”
Zhixian knew that this was ironic, and if he said it in Pingping, he would definitely have a long rebuttal to refute it, but now seeing the bloodstains on Xu Huaide's body, as well as those Song Jun's god-like appearances, it is somewhat taboo.
"Hmph, our county magistrate is afraid that General Xu will read too little and won't understand, so I'll tell you more details." Wei Qiang, who followed behind the magistrate, was unceremonious to Xu Huaide.
Xu Huaide had already seen Wei Qiang, but he didn't want to deal with Wei Qiang. Now hearing that Wei Qiang took the initiative to provoke himself, Xu Huaide took a deep breath and still ignored him. No matter how dissatisfied he is with Ren Fu's handling results, but after all, this kind of thing is his own backlash, Wei Qiang married his daughter-in-law and invited him to go, but he slept with his new daughter-in-law, which is really unreasonable.
Ren Jun next to him knew their grievances, Xu Huaide's record had spread throughout the troops of Hejian Mansion, Ren Jun was afraid that Xu Huaide would do something out of the ordinary again, and then there might really be no one to save him, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, it's better to talk about business first." According to what Lord Zhixian said, there should be no more enemies coming here in our place, but where is Zhendingfu, we must prepare quickly. ”
The magistrate also got rid of the embarrassment along the topic: "This official has already reported the things he searched to the imperial court along with the head of the general of the Liao State, and at the same time sent letters to General Ren Fu and the prefect of Zhending Mansion. ”
After hearing this, Ren Jun praised: "The adults are really delicate in their work, and they will soon order Shangfeng if they want to come to the peak." General Xu, I think we will now count the merits of the war. At the same time, when Shangfeng is not sure that those things are true or false, we still have to make some preparations, and as for the reinforcements in the back, we can not come for the time being. ”
Xu Huaide actually already knew in his heart, what the magistrate said couldn't be false, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, just do it according to General Ren's wishes, Lord Supervisor, please draft a fold now, and ask for credit for all troops and brave personnel." Also, write down what the magistrate said, and they helped us a lot this time. ”
The magistrate's heart was happy when he heard it, and the performance of the county was like this, and it was always doubtful to show the merit in the locality, but if the army also helped to say the last sentence, the effect would be completely different. In his heart, he suddenly forgot Xu Huaide's impoliteness to him just now, and clenched his fists with both hands: "Thank you, General." ”
Xu Huaide smiled: "In this way, if the magistrate is willing, let the people who came with you stay for the time being and help us repair the damaged camp." Your Excellency, rest assured, we will pay the people according to the rules of the imperial court. ”
Of course the county is willing, the battle plan of the Liao State is very clear, this is just the direction of the Liao State's feint, there should be no more battles, and he led the villagers to stay, which is a huge increase in prestige!
In this way, the thousands of villagers did not leave the battlefield. No one asked them if they wanted to be here, no one asked them what their opinions were when the big men decided on national and national affairs, when the generals and officials were making decisions for their own future.
And those villagers are also used to being ignored by those big people, and they feel a little uncomfortable when they hear that they can't leave, but they don't say anything when they hear that they are paid for work.
This is the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, including the Chinese people in the 21st century, who still continue to have this surname, simple, kind, and patient. They know that they are just farmers, and what they want is to eat and grow good land, which is the greatest happiness for them.
The county magistrate said, the Liao people will not come, the county magistrate is the government, the government will not deceive people, they say that if you don't fight, you won't fight, and if you do some work, don't you sell some strength, the countrymen have nothing but strength, and they eat and drink and pay for their wages, so let's do it.
