One night, no sleep.

Fang Qingchen and Qin Xufei called out to each other by the river, Qin Xufei only hugged his fists on the horse, gave a deep salute, and turned his horse back. didn't ask about Liu Heng's injury, didn't thank Fang Qingchen for his rescue, and as for asking Fang Qingchen to return Liu Heng and the others, he didn't mention it.

Fang Qingchen didn't say much, rode his horse back, both sides were busy, and the scene of the same enemy was already a thing of the past.

The Qin army camped on the spot and put on a posture of preparing to wait for a long time. On the north and south banks, bonfires are clustered, competing with each other, reflecting the light and dark swaying of the river, a piece of broken gold.

It's a lot of poetry, and it's all going to work.

Fang Qingchen's subordinates had a headache. 5,000 people beat tens of thousands of people, and when they fight, they are happy, but when they are finished, they are in pain. Except for the dead, the injured and unable to move, and the rats that fled, there are still tens of thousands of people who surrendered, can they all be buried alive?

Killing prisoners, Fang Qingchen can't do it, and he can't do it. These are not only Chu people, but also ...... It's all strong labor!

So, I had to accept my fate and work hard.

Set up camp on the spot and confiscate all the weapons, equipment, grain and grass of the Shuntian army. The five thousand cavalry were exhausted from the conscription, but half of them still had to stay awake, carefully guarding the prisoners, and the other half were resting in the tents, but they were also unsaddled and swords, ready to respond at any time.

You have to keep one eye open when you sleep, and if you have a few more days like this, you don't have to mutiny among the captives, and they themselves can be exhausted.

The team that came to take over Liuzhou in the future was originally scheduled to arrive in a few days. Even if you get a quick report and hurry up, it will be too late for two or three days. Fortunately, after receiving the grain and grass of the original Shuntian Army, it would not be a problem for these 10,000 people to eat, drink and lazar, and they would not mutini immediately. They gritted their teeth to prop up this section. It's still okay.

The Qin troops on the south bank were all seriously wounded. After being rescued by the Chu army, after being relieved, he almost fainted. Only Liu Heng has been trying his best to persevere, and he must always stay sober.

The Chu people settled them separately and treated them with medicine. Because of his status, he was specially treated with a separate military tent and a soft and comfortable bed. Liu Heng's wounds were painful and exhausted, but he always held on and didn't want to embarrass the Qin people. refused to lose his calmness, and when he was dressed, he didn't say a word. After bandaging, he thanked him decently, and waited for everyone to withdraw from the tent before he slowly lay down. Close your eyes. Try to fall asleep.

It's a long time coming. Tomorrow there will inevitably be another fight, and he will have to recuperate.

――――――――――

Dawn.

Only then did a faint light appear on the horizon. On the south bank of the Huaijiang River, it was busy.

In the thin morning mist, the Chu army could be seen everywhere riding tall horses, escorting groups of Shuntian army captives to clean up the battlefield.

Whether it is the Qin army's or the Chu army's. The corpse of the Suncheon Army. They all tried their best to piece it together, wiped the dirty blood off their bodies, and carefully sorted out their appearance.

Digging of pits has begun on the hillside. Prepare to bury the body.

If these captives are so tired that they can't move a finger, they, the guards, can save a lot of trouble.

Calculate the casualties, arrange to take care of the wounded, especially Liu Heng and other Qin army wounded, and send people who are reliable and able to respond to the situation to take care of them. Then send several small detachments to go around shouting about the defeat of the Shuntian army and preaching the policy of not holding those who surrender to justice, whether it is the common people or those who have been killed and scattered and fled to the Shuntian army, it is always more reassuring to hear such a voice.

Fang Qingchen's face was tired, and these soldiers under him were mostly sad. How happy it is to fight, just kill people when you see them, these aftermath work, but they can really kill people to trivial.

Qin Xufei stood quietly by the river alone, watching the turbulent river flow eastward.

Fang Qingchen was very busy. But he had nothing to do.

The river is still the same, and it has not changed for thousands of years.

Broken bridges, wrecked ships, warriors. The river full of floating corpses, the tragic scene of blood and fire, as if it had never existed.

Not a trace can be left in this heaven and earth.

This hard work, a dispatch of troops, but asked Fang Qingchen to gently stretch out his hand and pick the fruits of victory, and he had to be grateful to him.

He shook his head slightly.

Fang Qingchen, what do you want to do before you are willing to put my friend back?

After trying to save him, what do you want in exchange for what price?

When I looked up, I saw a few small boats slowly rocking on the other side of the river.

His pro-army troops surrounded him vigilantly, and he just waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to worry.

Their bridges and boats were all burned, and they couldn't cross the river again for a while. The Chu army is insufficient, and it will definitely not have the intention of attacking across the river.

They can actually tell what these small boats are here to do.

Stand by the river, and wait for the boat to come ashore.

On the ship, it was the corpses of them who died on the other side of the river.

It's been mended, it's been tidied up. Most of their bodies were still intact, their faces were serene, and their heads, faces, hands and feet had been wiped clean of blood. But their clothes were already soaked in blood, brown, and hard, even this cold river wind could not blow.

The boat shuttled back and forth, bringing back the bodies of their fallen companions on the South Shore.

One by one, from the boat, to the shore lawn, they seemed to be very tired and asleep, and did not open their eyes, but snuggled up to their companions, and slept quietly.

The soldiers saluted Qin Xufei, and when the boat returned, Qin Xufei's quiet voice sounded behind them.

"Thank you to your marshal for me."

In the tent of the Chu army, the high-ranking figures of the Shuntian Army knelt on the ground. Fang Qingchen was interrogating, and Ling Fang entered the account: "Fang Hou, the corpses of the Qin people have been sent back. Now that many people in the Qin army are wandering along the river, should we strengthen our vigilance? ”

Fang Qingchen shook his head, his eyes looked out of the tent, and his expression was a little stunned. Ling Fang sighed: "Although this Qin people are our opponents, but yesterday, those Qin troops fought bloodily and did not retreat, and my old Ling couldn't help but say that they were served." ”

Speaking of Liu Heng, Fang Qingchen didn't bother to interrogate anymore, got up and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and see if Forget Chen has taken care of our guests...... He pointed to someone kneeling under the handsome case: "This half-dead guy, bring it to me too." ”

―――――――――――――――――

In the military tent, someone was changing Liu Heng's dressing. Several people in front of the bed, is to take care of. It's a caretaker.

Liu Heng's spirit has recovered a little. bowed slightly, and thanked the young general in the tent: "Thank you to the general for saving him in front of the battle yesterday." ”

The young man raised his eyes and smiled: "Saving is Fang Hou's intention, I just obey orders, General Liu wants to thank Fang Hou." ”

"Fang Hou's affection, I am naturally the essential. But when the general guarded and guarded us, the Shuntian army attacked many times, and the general commanded the soldiers, the formation was not chaotic, and even took the lead and attacked to kill the Shuntian generals

I admire the courage of the military and the ground. ”

Liu Heng smiled and talked about gentleness, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

The young man smiled faintly and said a few words of humility, but the escort sergeant next to him couldn't help it: "General Liu is not wrong, our General Zhao is the only disciple of Fang Hou." You can't imagine it. Today is General Zhao's first time on the battlefield! ”

Liu Heng's tone was a little surprised and happy: "Fang Hou's personal biography is really extraordinary." Come to think of it. When I first went to the battlefield, I was so frightened by the blood of the sword mountain and the sea of swords that I couldn't sit still, where could I rush up and fight desperately. ”

Zhao Wangchen's body was a little stiff and silent.

The title of Fang Qingchen's disciple. Sparkling.

The first time he went to the battlefield was a general. Without any combat experience, he can lead a group of elite soldiers like Ling Fang. Those veterans and veterans did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, try to cooperate with him, remind him, and teach him without damaging his face.

Now, the guards are showing off because he is Fang Qingchen's disciple, and Liu Heng is also praising him in order to please Fang Qingchen's disciple......

"General Liu praised it again." His tone was extremely slow and fierce: "Anyone who has ever wroughtled in the mud for a dead rat and a dozen bony wild dogs will no longer be afraid of the battlefield." I just treat all the enemies on the battlefield as wild dogs that threaten my life. ”

He raised his eyebrows coldly and looked at Liu Heng: "My guts are not from Fang Hou's teaching. I would like to thank General Liu and all the Qin army, without you foreigners coming uninvited and disturbing the world, I would not have been able to practice the courage I have now. ”

His words were suddenly prickly, but Liu Heng immediately sat up straight on the bed. "In this way, the little general should first thank the earth, which should be your first king. Without his repeated attacks on Great Qin, we would ......."

The curtain of the military tent was lifted at the right time, and a person entered with a laugh: "How is General Liu's injury?" ”

Fang Qingchen didn't seem to notice that a quarrel was almost imminent, so he walked in with a smile, sat directly on the side of Liu Heng's bed with a smile, and asked with concern on his face.

Liu Heng was angry in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to say: "It has been bandaged, thank you Fang Hou for your concern." ”

Fang Qingchen smiled: "Originally, the general was seriously injured, and I shouldn't have come to disturb him, but when I was interrogating the important people of the Shuntian Army, I asked about something unexpected, and I thought it would be better to let General Liu listen to it himself." ”

After saying that, he clapped his hands lightly, but saw Ling Fang carrying a white cloth wrapped around his shoulder, and the person who was tied up came in and threw it directly to the ground: "This guy is lucky, he was hit by Fang Hou's arrow and fell off the horse, but he was not trampled into a meatloaf in the chaotic army, General Liu, you will hear a lot of interesting things when you interrogate him." ”

Liu Heng didn't look at the person who was huddled on the ground, his eyes were faint and the other party was light, and said, "I don't have anything to ask." But if Fang Hou must let me listen, I can't help but listen. ”

There was appreciation in Fang Qingchen's eyes. Being wounded, betrayed, and framed, you can still have such a good attitude, and you can clearly perceive that interrogating such a hidden matter in front of the enemy will bring shame to the homeland. Person......

Ling Fang couldn't hear Liu Heng's mind from this sentence, but just kicked the captive's ass with a big grin: "Surnamed Zhao Di, dumb?" ”

Where did the strategist surnamed Zhao still have the superior demeanor that he showed when he was by the side of Wang Chengtian, the king of Shuntian, the whole person trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "General Liu, I am indeed here to harm you on the orders of Your Majesty." Your Majesty asked me to look for a master who can fight you, but I see that the southern princes only know about internal strife and dare not fight with the Third Highness, and besides, there are many soldiers under my hands, and it is difficult for outsiders to get ahead, so I threw myself into the Shuntian army. I have been in secret contact with His Majesty and have acted on His Majesty's instructions. In order to plot against His Royal Highness, His Majesty sent me all the thunderbolts that had been saved in the country. From the beginning of my surrender to the Shuntian Army, after seeing the topography of the Huaijiang River and reporting it to His Majesty, this bureau began to be deployed. His Majesty said that the three highnesses love to take the lead in battle, and if they act like this, it is very likely that they will kill him, even if he does not cross the bridge, he will definitely cross the bridge by General Liu, who has the most affection with His Royal Highness, as long as he can capture General Liu, he can also threaten the three highnesses......"

Let him cry and confess, Liu Heng only ignored it indifferently, and only smiled coldly when he heard the last sentence.

The strategist cried for a long time, and finally said a sentence that he felt was the most important and could best earn a chance for his life: "General Liu, the King of Qin is ruthless and unintentional, the Qin State doesn't want you anymore, what are you going to support!" Let's go to Fang Hou! ”

When a sentence came out, Liu Heng looked at Fang Qingchen in astonishment, you are such a hero, you actually use such a clumsy means of persuasion?

Fang Qingchen couldn't wait to kick to death the fool who thought he was smart and thought he had figured out his intentions. With this kind of brain, you still dare to be a strategist?

But Ling Fang was straight to the heart, he really felt that this guy who was crying and screaming a handful of snot and tears said it well, and hurried to beat the side drum on the side: "That's good!" General Liu, you are also a good man, why bother to go all the way to the dark? King Qin is ruthless and cruel, what loyalty do you have? Come and follow us Fanghou, a hero like you, who doesn't admire and like it! ”

Liu Heng is furious! The strategist cried just now, he didn't want people to think that the Qin people were making trouble in their nests and making a fool of themselves to show others, so he refused to have a seizure, but now that the generals under Fang Qingchen were talking so loudly, how could he stand it? How can others be allowed to insult his family and country so contemptively in front of him?

"What king is not suspicious? In ancient times, there were only kings and ministers, how could there be ministers and countries! If it is a person's selfish anger, he abandons his country and his family, and goes to another country and another lord, how is it different from a beast? The general said this, but who am I Liu Heng? ”

Ling Fang disagreed: "My old Ling is here for your good, why don't you understand?" ”

Liu Heng looked elegant and gentle, but secretly had a very strong temperament, and immediately smiled coldly: "On that day, the king of Chu was only a piece of paper, and he took away the authority of the marquis. Such a monarch, such a family and country, why should I be loyal again, my Royal Highness has always loved and cherished talents, if Fang Hou can come to vote, he will definitely be respected as a deputy marshal. ”

Fang Qingchen was probing Liu Heng's expression's reaction, and when he heard this, his face was cold for a moment.

Liu Heng, this man who was in the enemy camp and was seriously injured, looked at Fang Qingchen calmly, his tone was sarcastic, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What I said was all for Fang Hou's good." ”
