28. Grievances
"It's miserable."
The end of a war does not mean the end of everything, at least in normal times, someone needs to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
Burning the bodies of the victors one by one and putting them in the corresponding containers and sending them back to the countryside together with some of the relics and bereavements left behind before their deaths is regarded as the last bit of care from the living to the deceased, and it is also to encourage the living to continue to move forward with the rest of the dead.
As for the corpses of the vanquished, unless they are the remains of high-ranking generals with names and surnames, or the remains of soldiers of special value, they are usually stripped of their armor, and some deep pits are dug and thrown inside, or they are simply piled up in a less conspicuous valley - of course, in order to prevent the plague, these corpses will also be burned, but this is mostly limited to not very large battles, and for those larger battles, it is usually impossible to dispose of so many corpses, especially in the summer. In a few days, the kung fu battlefield will become a place that people hate and hate, and people will not want to approach it for a few years.
After all, there are all kinds of germs, poisonous gases, and unscientific grievances gathered there, and if you get close, you will get sick and even infect others, and over time there will be legends such as "dead places", even after a few years or thousands of years, it can become a place for all kinds of strange stories.
Of course, sometimes, in order to be in a hurry, the cleaning of the battlefield is just a matter of hastiness, so some villagers and merchants who are not afraid of death follow like vultures that smell fishy, after all, this business can be regarded as a business, if it only needs to pay a dozen lives to swallow a large amount of supplies. No matter how you look at it, it's also a lot of money.
Therefore, the national capital with a strong commercial atmosphere, but whenever the army is around, there will always be all kinds of merchants, who are responsible for handling the exchange between the army's spoils of war and military supplies, and as small as providing some inconspicuous but very popular services for the army, they will be the best lubricant for the army's huge national machine, and they will also make the army more greedy executioners.
Of course, this is talking about the ordinary scene after the end of the war, but the battlefield that has just ended the battle in front of us is completely different from the ordinary battlefield.
Yes, completely different. Because ah...... There's almost no oil and water to fish!!
Anyway, if it weren't for the fact that there were still some Xianbei cavalry who provided horses, swords that could be re-smelted, and some other looted gold and silver artifacts. It was hard for Li Shushi to believe that anyone else would have any interest in such a thing as cleaning up the battlefield.
Those Xianbei infantry did not leave a single head at all, and all kinds of armor naturally did not remain, but the melee weapons left behind were some, "Even if it is re-smelted, because there is too much negative energy left in it, it will interfere with the quality of the weapon, maybe it can still be used as a farm tool." But you also need to consider whether the negative energy in it will affect the growth of plants (White Tiger Meow)". It's completely unclear what to do with it. It seems that it can only be used to pit people, and this road can be walked, which is really unwilling.
As a result, the cleaning of the battlefield, which was originally a bit of a sought-after job, turned out to be pushed to me by you this time. I have given you an example of harmonious and friendly relations between them, so much so that Li Shushi had to personally order the matter to be resolved.
"So Wen Qiao, who made your subordinates the worst this time, so you should be considerate and considerate. By the way, you don't need to tell those caravans, if you actively participate, you can get an extra reward, don't tell them~! β
Of course, Li Shushi led the army with the front foot, and as soon as the front foot left, the back foot came from the back, so don't worry about it.
Li Shushi really doesn't have the American time to slowly clean up the battlefield here, although it is a good habit of the state army to clean the battlefield carefully, but it also has to be divided into occasions - in other words, he knew that a certain Lori was leading her subordinates to find the enemy's altar, how could Li Shushi settle down and waste time here, and his mind flew away as soon as possible.
What worries Li Shushi even more is that the enemy reinforcements that kept appearing during the previous battles, although the number of each wave has never exceeded one thousand, but even if there are only three hundred people at the least, it is dozens of times that Su Xiaololi and her subordinates are tied together, and it will become very unsafe to add up.
Anyway, since the Huanglong girl fainted inexplicably, Li Shushi has also lost his confidence in the past for those who are extremely strong on weekdays, God knows when these guys will have problems, and the chain is dropped at the critical moment.
Even if the enemy's reinforcements had stopped at the end of the battle, Li Shushi still couldn't let go.
There are some things that if you don't see with your own eyes, you will always have doubts and uneasiness and make up terrible scenes in your head.
Of course, perhaps Li Shushi can also act as righteous and awe-inspiring, as he did in front of his own subordinates, and define this operation as "to prevent the tragedy from continuing to occur, and to completely destroy the enemy's nest to prevent the enemy from revitalizing in the spring breeze".
"So even if Shushi Meow treats Meow like this, Meow will be angry, don't think about calming Seconds' anger without a lollipop!"
Regardless of whether this will make people misunderstand that White Tiger Meow, your purpose is to blackmail the lollipop, just to say that now Li Shushi is holding the collar in one hand, and the White Tiger Meow is constantly floating with the ups and downs of the war horse, and your appearance at this time is quite joyful.
Well, in fact, Li Shushi can also put the White Tiger Meow behind him or in front of him, after all, the claw yellow is not only a BMW but also Li Shushi's treasure, naturally he will not be frightened by the breath of the king of beasts of the White Tiger Meow, but if you put the White Tiger Meow behind you, the White Tiger Meow around her waist always looks like a couple holding her boyfriend and sitting on the little sheep locomotive or something, as for letting the White Tiger Meow sit in front of Li Shushi, that is, in his arms......
Anyway, isn't it really Li Shushi going out on a trip with his cute little daughter!
That picture was really so beautiful and beautiful, Li Shushi really couldn't imagine the reaction of other people when they saw this scene.
If you think about Su Xiaololi's reaction to Li Shushi and Mi Fang's "cordial conversation" at the beginning, Li Shushi thinks it is better to avoid this kind of thing. After all, even if it looks easy to bully, Su Xiaololi's combat power is definitely not comparable to the white tiger meow in her hand.
Of course, the white tiger meow in Li Shushi's hands is indeed very easy to bully, no, although if you just look at the white tiger meow to say it, you may feel that it seems to be very gentlemanly and domineering, but if this sentence is said in a very soft voice and a slightly coquettish expression, it is estimated that everyone will be like Li Shushi.
Such a threat can be useful! Doesn't that make people want to bully you even more!!
Of course, if it's a girl paper or someone with a special preference, seeing a foul cute expression like White Tiger Meow, I probably can't help but hug it in my arms and love it to the fullest, rather than letting White Tiger Meow continue to eat the wind.
The greatest advantage of all the people fighting on their horses is that the mobility of this force has been greatly enhanced.
That is, the legendary "turn like the wind".
Of course. Li Shushi's troops had just won a battle. Therefore, this is the transition after victory, not the wind-like transition from one defeat to another in some troops, so even if the term is used, it has a very positive meaning.
It's not a long distance and it can't be used for a few hours, but because it's past the autumnal equinox. It was getting darker and earlier.
From the morning departure to the previous engagement. Then after a short break and eating. By now, it's sunset.
"Shushi, don't let the troops stop first. Then send out the scouts and move on if there are no problems. β
In such an environment, he has just experienced such a brutal battle, even Xiao Qiang has become extremely cautious, after all, if the daytime living can still get all kinds of convenience to start an evenly matched confrontation with strange enemies, but when night rises, the world under the galaxy is the world of those Xianbei infantry who behave strangely, and no one can predict whether there is an enemy who has been hiding around him for a long time, and no one can find out whether the enemy has been ambushed on the way forward.
Without thinking too much, Li Shushi agreed with Xiaoqiang's judgment, although he was very worried about Su Xiaololi, but from the perspective of mental induction, since his group of ghosts had not changed, it was even more unlikely that anything would happen to Su Xiaololi who was protected by them, or even if something happened to him, those ghosts could protect Su Xiaololi and send her back safely.
The troops that had been reduced a lot were scattered into the five dock forts that had been abandoned a while ago, and the experienced border soldiers and herdsmen were spilled out by Li Shushi in large quantities, in groups of three or five, the distance between each group was not too large, even Li Shushi had to be cautious in the face of those strange guys, even if he could sense the existence of those strange guys before they approached him, but the range of this perception was extremely limited, and it could even be said that the radius was no more than ten meters, After all, Li Shushi didn't notice it at all when those guys mixed into Pingcheng City, and a radius of ten meters may be a relatively large space for a person, but for the entire battlefield, it is really just a drop in the ocean.
Fortunately, the enemy could not use a long-range weapon like a bow and crossbow for some reason, otherwise Li Shushi would be assassinated even more unguardably, and at that time, whether he could still have such good luck, no one dared to give a 100% answer.
"I didn't expect that after so many days, these cattle and sheep were not killed, should this be considered a miracle?"
After some exploration into the dock fort, not only did they not find a single enemy, but they found a large number of cattle and sheep in the breeding room originally used to house cattle and sheep and other livestock in winter.
After all, they are fleeing in a hurry, and the only things they can carry are valuables except for daily necessities, and horses and other fast-moving livestock can be carried by some means, but slower-moving cattle and sheep can only be carried by air-dried jerky and cheese, or leather jackets and bedding to ensure the temperature of the night when winter is about to begin.
Most of the remaining livestock were left behind, and the herders did not know what would happen to them, but it was conceivable that they would suffer a huge loss this time.
Therefore, in the previous battle, these young men, even if they were just herdsmen, far surpassed those caravan guards in terms of fighting spirit and will, because the caravan guards participated in the war to earn extra money. However, these herders participated in the battle for the future survival of the tribe, and only by winning more rewards could the tribe that suffered heavy losses survive in the future.
After all, for the tribes who have made great achievements, even if they can't reward them with enough livestock, Li Shushi, as the governor of the prefecture and the great warlord who leads several states, can make up for it in other ways, and even in this way, maybe they will be able to get more.
Now the cattle and sheep do not seem to have lost much, not only because the enemy did not have time to transfer these things back, but also because the strange Xianbei infantry should not have much desire to eat, so naturally there is no consumption.
It's just a Xianbei cavalry of thousands of people, even if they let go of their bellies to eat, they won't consume much in less than half a month.
As a result, the cattle and sheep who survived unexpectedly were not able to continue their previous luck. Instead, he was slaughtered under Li Shushi's orders. All of them were given to the soldiers who had fought hard for a day - of course, after that, they would find the original owners of the cattle and sheep to settle the settlement, but the standard of settlement would naturally be determined according to the military exploits of those tribes, and if they were not active, they would definitely lose their money.
A fragrant and oily hot meal calmed the hearts of the warriors who had just experienced a bloody battle and fought against an inhuman enemy. Perhaps some of them will still be frightened by nightmares. Maybe you will be saddened by the loss of your loved ones. But the hearty meal still made them vent a lot of negative feelings accumulated in their hearts, and this full meal also strengthened their expectations for the future, instead of choosing to leave and quit because they can't see the future.
In fact, many people already understand from the moment they join the military camp that sooner or later they will fall on the battlefield. The only difference is what kind of identity he was in when he fell, and whether he left something for his family and future generations.
After inspecting the sleeping soldiers in the dock fort, and seeing the satisfied smiles on the faces of most of them in their sleep, Li Shushi felt that he seemed to be at ease, and the information sent back by the scouts who went out one after another quieted his worried heart.
Although it took a lot of time for the soldiers to carefully probe along the way, so that they did not reach the core area of the enemy's garrison until midnight, after probing along the way, it was basically possible for the enemy to survive, and from the information reported, although the enemy troops had plundered all kinds of supplies, they were all piled up in various dock forts.
It seems that it should have been transported back to the grassland yet, or the other party originally wanted to get a bigger result before considering this matter.
All in all, although the vast majority of them will be returned to the Hu tribes and soldiers who participated in the war in the form of rewards, for those tribes and families that have been destroyed, Li Shushi obviously has absolute right to dispose of their property.
The most important thing is that the detectives found Su Xiao Lori who was doing some real research in the dock fort where the Xianbei generals were stationed, and it seemed that this Lori and her entourage were in good shape, but because of this, Su Xiao Lori, who had been put into the real yΓ n, did not plan to return immediately to relieve Li Shushi's lovesickness.
Well, it's only been a long time since I've seen it, where is the pain of lovesickness, compared to the longest ten years of torment in the fruit illusion......
Ahem, considering someone's terrible appearance in the last fruit illusion, he is completely unqualified to say this - or that he was not killed by a vote of girls because of the generosity of a certain loli and the management of his lily palace.
It's just that, if it weren't for the fact that as a coach, he needs to take into account his responsibilities as a coach, I'm afraid that he has now run to his own Lori with his own guard, after all, he can only sleep sweetest next to his own Lori.
Of course, it seems that the same effect can be achieved by the side of a certain witch in the fruit fantasy world, but Li Shushi still wants to emphasize that Su Xiaololi is the best, after all, a certain witch can't provide fur service that doesn't know what it looks like but feels extremely slippery.
It's a pity that Su Xiaololi is very uncooperative in this matter, no matter how Li Shushi talks, she is unwilling to say what the mysterious fur products are and where they come from, but people can't help but think about it, and even fantasize about the legendary fox tail.
Of course, Su Xiaololi is so beautiful and natural, loyal and gentle, how can she be that kind of calamitous water demon girl, ahahahaha......
Fortunately, after being summoned, she has changed from the original witch to a completely different kind of woman. Otherwise, Li Shushi didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't know if it was because of the same talent and skills or something else, anyway, whether it was Su Xiaololi or her family more than a thousand years ago, it seemed that they all had extremely terrifying attainments in mind reading, which made people unable to resist at all.
With such a mood, even though he knew that the other party didn't really need it, Li Shushi still sent Dian Wei with two hundred guards to Su Xiaololi's location for protection, and even left the camp early before dawn the next day, and rushed to the location of the dock fort that was once the enemy's forward position in Kouhe Prefecture.
Of course, he still rode on the galloping clawed yellow back by carrying the collar of a white tiger meow.
However, this time, White Tiger Meow's treatment has been slightly improved. An extra lollipop with the flavor of apple juice came out of his mouth. He had no time at all to make new protests or threats to Li Shushi.
"My lollipops were snatched away by those two big bastards, woo woo, it was too much, I thought it was good friends so I invited them to taste it together. But who would have thought that those two big bastards would harbor evil intentions. It's so hateful. It's so damning! β
This sentence translates to:
A certain white tiger meows to his own death, proudly showing off his lollipop collection in front of Yaya Lori and Little Aloli, which naturally arouses the dissatisfaction of the two Lori. As a result, the two loli that blackened naturally wanted to give a certain meow a heavenly sanction.
So the lollipop was robbed or something, and it was just a piggyback thing.
Death is risky, so you need to be cautious before doing it. Stock commentators in modern society are not deceiving.
It's just that such a good mood only lasted until the time when Su Xiaololi was hugged into his arms.
"How's the research going, is there any new progress?"
Hush Han asked for a few warm words, and hugged his own Lori very much, and then shifted the topic to Su Xiaololi's "research".
"Well, it's a little bit of progress to say there's progress, but it's not bad to say there's no progress."
That is to say, at most, it is just an analysis of the means used by the other party, but there is no clue how to restrain it.
Although Su Xiaololi couldn't speak clearly, Li Shushi felt that with such a long period of communication and understanding, even a person like him, who had an extremely limited IQ limit, could now understand the true meaning of some of Su Xiaololi's words.
Of course, compared to understanding the meaning of this aspect, Li Shushi feels that he is more confident in his understanding of some of Su Xiaololi's arrogant remarks, anyway, even if he can't understand it, as long as he is thick-skinned enough, he actually makes the right choice.
It's just that Su Xiaololi's next "scientific research achievements" to Li Shushi shocked Li Shushi - the pit with a radius of nearly 20 meters, about three meters deep, according to Su Xiaololi, was filled with black-brown plasma that was so thick that it emitted a foul smell.
This is the true face of the "undead warriors" who can constantly use the souls of the dead to create a large number of puppets.
And according to Su Xiaololi, this shocking scene in front of her is not all of the enemy's evil methods, in fact, at the beginning, Su Xiaololi also found an altar similar to the evil altar under Luoyang in the dock fort - Su Xiaololi believes that the altar should have some special connection with the blood pool in front of her.
It's just that now Li Shushi can't see the true face of that altar - in order to reduce the pressure of the ragtag army fighting on the main battlefield, Su Xiaololi completely destroyed the altar in the first place, and this is also the fundamental reason why the enemy's reinforcements no longer continue to appear when the war is in the late stage.
"These guys...... These guys are simply the public enemy of the entire human race! β
Although he said that, Li Shushi also knew very well that he didn't have much position to accuse the other party, after all, many things were opened first by his own side, and the other party just took this opportunity to completely tear this opening to the unbearable Cheng DΓΉ.
"Either way, these evil guys must be wiped out!"
It's like Resident Evil, if it can't be completely eradicated, then as long as it is given a suitable environment, it can quickly re-ignite and spread like a prairie fire.
"Compared to the 'black mud' that is just polluted by a certain concept, maybe this is the real 'evil of this world'."
Li Shushi's muttering voice was very small, and it seemed that he should be the only one who could hear it. But in the next moment, both Su Xiaololi, who was close at hand, and the cute boy β who was circling around a certain stone slab at a distance from him, both turned their eyes to him, but then looked away very tacitly.
Hopefully, I can sleep well in Su Xiaololi's arms tonight.
That's the last thing a man thinks before he leaves here. (To be continued......)
