Chapter 68: Defeated the Sui army and saw the evil king for the first time
"Hehe, then we'll wait and see! A few of them also opened their eyes and saw clearly! ”
After speaking, Chen Quan waved his hand and asked a few people to take them away.
"Master, after the war, do you really want to let them go?"
Seeing that several people were taken away with gloomy faces, Kou Chong asked Chen Quan strangely.
"That's right! They are all talents, and it would be a pity to kill them like this. ”
Chen Quan said affirmatively. Talents are rare, and the resources spent on cultivating a talent are also very large. For example, Chen Quan, who has invested millions of taels in half a year, has now been able to use the two protagonists who are lucky, and others, including several disciples with higher qualifications than ordinary people, can't use it at all now.
Speaking of which, Chen Quan was jealous of Kou Chong and Xu Ziling. In just half a year, the cultivation of these two boys soared into the sky like a rocket, reaching the middle of the day after tomorrow. Back then, it took Chen Quan six years to reach such heights. Even if the aura of this Datang world is stronger and the suppression of heaven and earth is weaker, it shouldn't be fast to this extent! Compared with these two guys, Chen Quan can go to the river in shame.
"But master, didn't the books you gave us say that in the hearts of feudal emperors, those who can't be used for themselves should be killed? Looking at them like that, I'm afraid they won't be used by you, master! ”
Kou Chong continued to ask strangely.
"Hehe, you kid! How can the things in the book be copied. First of all, the reason why they are so reluctant to be a teacher is because they have a misunderstanding of being a teacher, and they don't know anything about the ability to be a teacher. When they really understand what to be a teacher and they have no choice, some of them will choose to be a teacher.
Secondly, being a teacher is not an ordinary feudal emperor, which you will know later. Well, let's not talk about that. You send all the captives to the rear quickly. Next, on the plain east of Changyi, we will defeat the 90,000 Sui army that will invade in the bright future. The one-time fight made the Great Sui dare not invade the east easily! ”
Chen Quan smiled and explained a few words, and then sent the two boys busy.
A day later, when Laihu'er learned that Zhang Xutuo was defeated by Chen Quan again and the 10,000-strong army was wiped out, Laihu'er was angry and cautious at the same time. While reducing the speed of the march, he adopted the method of not entering the city, and came to Changyi on guard.
It's just that what Lai Hu'er didn't expect was that Chen Quan had the courage to fight his 90,000 army in the plain east of Changyi with 50,000 troops. He didn't expect that the attack distance, attack speed and attack power of the archers and crossbowmen in Chen Quan's army were so terrifying. The rain of heavy arrows and crossbow arrows stopped the tens of thousands of troops who came to Hu'er thirty meters away from the Donglai army, and even the cavalry on both wings was resentful of the 10,000 crossbowmen and the combination of spears and swords and shields.
A hard-fought bloody battle lasted for nearly two hours, and finally the Sui army collapsed, and more than 40,000 troops fled frantically on the Qidi Plain like a duck. In the end, the 90,000 army, together with more than 200,000 peasants and peasants, were captured, and only 20,000 were defeated and fled back to Beihai City.
In this battle, the Sui army killed nearly 30,000 and wounded 50,000, and all the wounded were captured, including a number of generals including Lai Hu'er. The total number of casualties of the Donglai army led by Chen Quansuo was less than 7,000.
Chen Quan was able to defeat the Sui army in a hard-fought manner, and the difference in the proportion of casualties was so large. This shocked the jaws of the ground, and countless people couldn't believe that it was true. How could Chen Quan rely on Donglai, which has a population of only six or seven hundred thousand, to train such a strong army and carry the 100,000 army of the Great Sui.
But facts are facts, no matter how surprised the world is, how unwilling they are to believe it, it is a fact that Chen Quan has completely gained a firm foothold in Donglai. What was even more incomprehensible to the whole world was that a month later, Chen Quan actually released all the Sui generals and more than 200,000 captured prisoners, leaving less than 20,000 soldiers and some farmers who volunteered to stay. This made everyone understand Chen Quan's purpose again, isn't he very short of people? This is also the question of several apprentices of Chen Quan.
"No way! I'm too soft-hearted to see more than 200,000 people miss their families day and night, and I don't want more than 200,000 families to collapse due to the loss of their pillars! ”
Chen Quan reluctantly answered the questions of the apprentices.
Of course, Chen Quan wanted to keep all the more than 200,000 people, but one day, when he walked into the prisoner of war camp and heard more than one prisoner crying because he missed his family and worried about his parents, wives and children at home, he could only raise these 200,000 people for a month and send some rations and a small amount of money back.
However, what made Chen Quan happy was that such a good deed made Qin Qiong's attitude towards him much better, plus he learned from the mouths of the people of Beihai and Gaomi counties who were forcibly relocated to Donglai by Chen Quan that the lives of the nearly one million people who were forced to abandon their homes by Chen Quan before were not as sad as they imagined before, and it could even be said that the vast majority of people were better off than before, Qin Qiong's perception of Chen Quan underwent a fundamental change.
Although Qin Qiong still followed Zhang Xutuo and left this time, he at least had a smile on Chen Quan, instead of always glaring at each other like Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin and others.
After a big war, Donglai underwent tremendous changes, and the population directly increased to more than 1.6 million, which directly caused Chen Quan's few subordinates to fall into busyness, even Chen Quan himself was no exception.
In order to make these subordinates at the beginning of the cause return to their hearts, so that they would not be tired and not enjoy the results they deserved, Chen Quan directly doubled everyone's Yulu to the extent that they were comparable to the official Yulu in the Song Dynasty. This made Donglai's officials one of the most lucrative professions in the entire Great Sui.
Although Chen Quan has to pay an extra million yuan every year because of this, while seeing that his subordinates are full of enthusiasm and will soon manage the entire Donglai in an orderly manner, his face is full of joy, and Chen Quan feels that this million guan is worth it.
One day, when Chen Quan was in Weihai, the later generation, commanding a group of craftsmen to build a port, Chen Quan suddenly felt that he was being targeted. Turning his head, on the top of a low mountain not far away, a slender and tall man with an ethereal breath, as if he was ready to melt into the void, was staring at him with interest.
Looking at each other from a distance, the corners of Chen Quan's mouth curved, and after explaining a few words to the few people in charge around him, Chen Quan went straight up like a big peng and flew towards where the person was standing. Seeing Chen Quan coming, the figure instantly melted into the void, and quickly fled into the distance in the mountains and forests like a formless and qualitative ghost.
One chased and one fled, just like the heaven-covering Dapeng soaring for nine days, just like the smoke and dust of the illusory world, but they were all extremely fast, but they left the military port for nearly 20 miles in just over ten minutes. However, Chen Quan was better at speed, and the man was finally stopped by Chen Quan at a seaside.
"It is Chen Quan's honor for the evil king to come, can you enjoy the face and make the landlord a little bit?"
Looking at the middle-aged man with a graceful temperament in front of him, Chen Quan's eyes were full of curiosity. As the world's top talent, Chen Quan only admires Shi Zhixuan, and has no disgust, although he is a member of the Demon Gate
