Chapter 174: King Liu Yan

(Thank you MWEB and the scale of everything for your support, thank you, ask for recommendation votes, it's about to break 10,000.) )

When the bandits finally obeyed Liu Jun's order, discarded their weapons, stripped off their armor and clothes, walked out of the valley naked, and entered the prisoner camp temporarily enclosed by the Nine-headed Bird in the south of the valley with a horse-rejecting wall, the soldiers of the Nine-headed Bird were finally able to cheer.

The messenger rode back to Wushan to report the victory.

Liu Jun asked the baggage battalions at the valley mouth on the north and south sides to continue to maintain Checheng and maintain vigilance, while the soldiers on the other two sides withdrew from the hillside trenches. The valley ditch is like a natural camp, so that the nine-headed bird can rest with peace of mind.

"Have you already explained everything you should have explained, the details of the two thieves in Dachang City, as well as the things you have committed over the years, the cities you attacked, and the people you killed, have all been explained?"

Liu Jun sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the King of Shuntian and the King of the Mixed World who were only wearing a pocket cloth in front of him. The name is indeed loud, but it is a pity that at this time it is as sad as a lost dog.

"My lord, everything is clear, it is clear, and there is no concealment." King Shuntian hurriedly said. "My lord, we are willing to be the vanguard for the adults, and we can take our subordinates to attack Dachang City for the adults."

Wu Ziqiang knelt on the side, looking at He Guoxian's humble and pleading appearance, and disdainful in his heart. He turned his head to look at Liu Jun, he didn't expect that the opponent who defeated them was so young, was he twenty years old? looks like a talented man, but he is so powerful, and at first glance he is a ruthless person.

Liu Jun threw the record of their confession in front of the two, "Sign your names on the back." ”

"The little ones can't write."

"Then put on the mudra."

King Shuntian hurriedly pressed the handprint, but Wu Ziqiang did not move.

"Why do you want to press your mudra?" He asked.

"This is all something you confessed, since you say it is true, then naturally you have to sign and draw as evidence."

"What are you going to do with us after the drawing?"

"You're a smart man, didn't you already guess it." Liu Jun sneered. Wu Ziqiang's face changed drastically, although he had been fearless of death before, but at this time, he didn't want to die in confusion. "You can't do this to us. We can help you deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, we can take you to Dachang City right now and open the city gate."

"Let's talk about it first." Liu Jun said.

Wu Ziqiang refused, Liu Jun waved his hand, and Goudan and another personal soldier stepped forward, held him down, grabbed his hand and dipped it in mud, and then pressed the bloody handprint on the paper.

Liu Jun took over the record of pressing his fingerprints and raised it, "These are all the facts and evidence of your treason, and now there is your confession on it." Come on, pull it out, behead it. ”

"The general spares his life, spares his life!" Shuntian King He Guoxian suddenly softened on the ground, he had killed countless people, but when it was his turn to be killed, he was weak like a girl.

Liu Jun didn't have the slightest mercy for these people, and I don't know how many people died at the hands of the two over the years. If you keep it, it's a scourge.

A moment later. The soldiers brought up two heads. Liu Jun glanced at it and waved his hand, "Pack it up and send it to Wushan to the governors." ”

Fu Shan is a famous disciple. The disciples of the saint were a little difficult to accept Liu Jun's practice of killing prisoners after the war. Moreover, the thieves are also willing to be the vanguard of the army and help suppress the bandits. "General. Since the thieves are willing to attack the striker, this is also an opportunity. ”

"Do you really believe these bandits?" Liu Jun shook his head, "I don't believe them. Not to mention whether these people are credible or not. Even if it is credible, these people are just rabble, what kind of combat power do they have? If you say that they should go to the city to deceive them, and the inside should be combined with the inside, you are not afraid that these people will rebel against each other when the time comes? In short, I don't believe in these people, and I think they are useless, so what are they left for? ”

"Why don't you release the Jingshi?"

"I can't help but dream a lot at night, and I'm still the enemy who likes to die the most."

Generally speaking, if it is another official, it must be happy to hear that the bandits are willing to surrender, and if the bandits are willing to turn around and fight the bandits, it will be even happier. Even if it is not good, after the bandits descend, they will escort the thieves into Beijing, after all, the living thief is definitely more valuable than the dead.

It's just that Liu Jun is different, it was like this in Wushan City, and it is still like this in the muddy ditch now.

Liu Jun killed hundreds in Wushan, and he obviously wouldn't kill only two in the mud ditch. Sure enough, Liu Jun ordered that the captives be screened according to the interrogation, and those who joined the bandits would be detained in solitary confinement within a year, and they would be treated preferentially. And those who have joined the bandits for a long time, served as the leader, and have a lot of blood debts in their hands, will directly correct the law on the spot.

Those who have been in the service for a long time, but if they have only killed people in battle, and have not killed the people in normal times, the adulterous woman can be spared death. In addition, among the bandits, they have strong martial arts skills, but they are not brutal by nature, so they can choose to join the Nine-Headed Bird Camp.

Although they had just won a few big battles, they were ambushes and only a group of rabble who were not even soldiers, and they relied on the advantage of firearms. But there will always be a day when they will meet a fierce opponent, and firearms will not be used at all times, and in case of wind and rain, the nine-headed bird will be in trouble.

This is also the reason why Liu Jun has always maintained a large number of cold weapons, but there are too many recruits in the killer team, and the cavalry team and the night horse team also lack skilled people in riding and shooting. Although there are many rabbles among the bandits, there are also some who are relatively strong. Liu Jun hopes to select some available people from among them and join the Nine-Headed Bird Camp. However, the selection conditions are very strict, and the kind of brutality must not be wanted, and the kind of murder of the people and adulterous women in the past must not be wanted. Although few may be selected if these are removed, Liu Jun would rather be lacking than abused.

He added that the purpose of the people is to strengthen the fighting power of the Hydra, not to pollute the good atmosphere of the Hydra.

"There will probably be a lot of people who will be put to death, do you want to ask Maedu first?"

"No need."

Fu Shan sighed, and also gave up his advice to Liu Jun, in fact, he didn't have a good impression of these people, "It's clean to kill, as long as there is no chaos." ”

"What kind of chaos can there be when you kill them, killing them is only the first evil, killing them, screening other bandits, scattering and detaining them, treating them differently, closely surveilling, and the thieves have no leader. If you lose the organization, you will only be better settled, and you will not be able to create chaos at all. If you keep those people, you will be prone to chaos. Liu Jun said.

Liu Jun corrected the law on the spot, and more than 500 backbone bandits were killed in an instant. In the captive camp, Liu Jun was called King Liu Yan by the captives.

Those people were executed directly in the prisoner camp, and the captives watched the execution together, which was also a practice of killing chickens and monkeys, and after the execution, Liu Jun was secretly called Liu Yan by the captives.

Then the officers and soldiers announced to the captives that they would never ask. and news of recruiting martial arts skilled people from it.

Not surprisingly, the captives were quiet and no one was making trouble. And there are more bandits who want to sign up for the nine-headed bird, and many people feel that only by joining the official army can they really escape death. However, the recruitment office is very strict in its review, and it is not possible to enter if you want to.

After recruiting for a long time, he finally recruited 500 men, some of whom were excellent at archery and some were skilled in equestrian skills. There are also some strong and powerful people, who use swords and clubs well, and even recruit a few gunners, who turned out to be gunners in the border towns of the official army.

It's nearly dusk. The battlefield has almost been cleaned, and specific statistics have been reported.

Add up the statistical reports and you're the result of the battle.

This battle of mud ditch is similar to the battle of Wushan. The cannon directly knocked the thief across. More than 700 bandits were killed on the battlefield, and even more surrendered, with a total of more than 5,000 bandits in the two bandits. There were also hundreds of women, and nearly a thousand men who brought them grain and grass.

More than 500 were killed on the battlefield, more than 500 were executed after the battle, and more than 4,000 prisoners remained, plus more than 1,000 men and a few hundred poor women.

"There were more than 2,000 horses of the two thieves, seventy percent of them were intact, more than 100 were dead, and more than 300 were wounded. In addition, nearly 1,000 sets of iron armor and leather armor were seized, and thousands of pairs of knives, guns, bows and arrows were seized. ”

"Dozens of truckloads of grain were also seized, as well as a lot of gold and silver jewelry, silk and silk."

There are hundreds of elite old brothers in the two divisions of King Shuntian and King Chaoshi, these people are equipped with double horses, and most of them have armor, which can be called elite.

More than a thousand war horses were captured at once, which was a huge gain. Of course, this harvest is not only war horses, but also thousands of sets of armor and thousands of pairs of knives and guns. In addition, there are trophies carried by bandits, such as gold and silver jewelry. These bandits carry them with them even when they march.

"The gold and silver alone add up to 20,000 or 30,000 taels, and those jewelry and jewelry add up, it is estimated that they can be worth tens of thousands of taels. Do you have to make a book of these things and turn them in? ”

Fu Shan remembered that Liu Jun Wushan also seized a lot of booty after the First World War, but except for some inconvenient jewelry and clothing after being handed over, the rest of the gold and silver were directly made and entered into the treasury of the nine-headed bird. After Fu Shan joined the Nine-Headed Bird, he also found out that the Nine-Headed Bird was strictly forbidden to hide the spoils of war privately, and all seizures had to be handed over to the public, and the execution was very good.

Compared with the official army, this is another admirable place.

"It's all something we've worked so hard for, and there's certainly no reason to turn it in. We are fighting for the imperial court, but so far the imperial court has not really pulled out our salaries. In this case, these captures are naturally left behind, which can be regarded as military supplies. ”

Liu Jun never counted on the military salaries of the imperial court, and according to the current world, most of the officers and soldiers were owed food and salaries. And even if it has a relationship with face, the money will be pulled out for you, but after layers of deductions, you have to thank God for being able to get forty percent into your hands. Not to mention, it is even more difficult to get money such as rewards.

And the nine-headed bird has always been rewarded with a generous salary, counting on the little money of the imperial court, the nine-headed bird has long been in chaos. Liu Jun used to make money by scraping together, but in the past, there were few soldiers, and he could last for a while with a casual fate. But now that there are tens of thousands of horses, Liu Jun's economic pressure is still very great. When he sent troops out, he couldn't loot places like other officers and soldiers, so now that he had to hand over the spoils of war in this battle, would he still be stupid?

However, Liu Jun concealed the spoils of war during his two victories, and of course he had to give some benefits to the soldiers to boost their morale.

"After the order is passed, after the merits of the Battle of Wushan and the Battle of Muddy Ditch are counted, rewards will be issued immediately according to their merits. In addition, the general order of the whole army, all the nine-headed bird soldiers will be rewarded once, and each person will be rewarded with 200 points. (To be continued......)
