The night is over.

After a night of fighting, the Zhao army finally won the victory and won a lot.

The soldiers of the Zhao army, who had already won, except for some of the soldiers in charge of guarding, began to kill cattle and sheep to prepare for a sumptuous bonfire party.

And those Xianbei people, who were the defeated in the war, could only watch these enemies behave in front of them, slaughtering their free-range livestock at will, not daring to say a word, they all squatted there and trembled.

Women and children are fortunate to say that, according to the custom of the steppe, the side that wins the big will not kill the side that loses.

Of course, this is for the tribe.

Anyway, women are tools used to reproduce and will not be easily killed, and children who are taller than the wheels must be killed because they may have the ability to remember!

Others, such as the old and the young, were all killed, and none was left.

And these Xianbei people obviously know who is the person who dominates their life and death!

At this time, Li Nong had already counted the battle losses, so he rushed over and reported to Shi Min: "Governor, the battle losses in this battle have been counted. ”

"How?"

"In this battle, more than 13,000 soldiers were killed in our army, not counting the wounded, and not counting the missing soldiers. There were about 40,000 dead in the enemy's army, and the number of captured men, women, and children of the various tribes of the Xianbei people was about 100,000! ”

Hearing this, Shi Min could still deal with it indifferently, nodded, and didn't say anything.

But Shi Jian next to him couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Good! Governor, this battle has been fruitful! Since the last battle to destroy Western Zhao, our Zhao Kingdom has not achieved such a big victory for a long time! This time the class teacher returns to the dynasty, and my father will definitely reward you greatly! ”

"I don't want to be rewarded, but I hope it will be peaceful." Shi Min sighed and said.

"Hey, Governor, why are you so polite? In this battle alone, who of the ranking generals in the court, Kui An, Tao Leopard, and Shi Bin, can match? Not as good as that! If you go back this time, maybe your father will make you a duke! ”

Shi Jian smiled and lowered his hand and said, "Metropolitan Governor, I'll congratulate you first!" ”

"Hehe, Yiyang Gong, don't torture me." Shi Min still waved his hand modestly.

At this time, Li Nong couldn't help but ask aloud: "Governor Dadu, you see, what should be done with these captured Xianbei people?" ”

"If you follow their custom on the grassland, only the women and children will be left, and the rest will ......," Shi Jian made a head-killing gesture.

When Shi Min heard this, he shook his head and said, "No." Although I don't believe in Buddhism, God has the virtue of a good life, and now that we have taken the camp of the Xianbei people and obtained so many supplies, we must be able to properly settle them and return to the Central Plains. ”

"That's what the Governor said." Shi Jian bowed slightly, "Move these Xianbei people to the south, it is expected that they will not be able to cause trouble!" Moreover, this is another great achievement! ”

Shi Jian is right, it is indeed a great credit to be able to enrich the population of Zhao State at once.

You know, in this chaotic world, population is the most valuable resource!

If you don't have a population, who will pay your taxes? Who will fight you as a soldier? Who will give you servitude?

After Shi Min goes back, maybe he can really be crowned!

Not to mention anything else, just this contribution to pacifying the rebellion in Daibei is enough to make Shi Min one of the ministers and rank better than the three dukes!

After resting for a few days, the Zhao army, under the command of Shi Min, marched to the south.

The Xianbei people who were already hiding in Saibei to lick their wounds naturally didn't dare to make any small moves, sneak attack or something from behind.

Not to mention whether Tuoba Shiyigan wants to or not, even if he wants to, he doesn't have the ability at this moment. Now Tuoba Xianbei has shown a decline, like a wounded tiger, and around it, there are still many vicious wolves waiting for an opportunity!

After the retreat of the Zhao army, it is conceivable that the Mobei grassland will usher in a new competition!

For at least ten years, the nomads of the north will not be able to herd their horses south.

On the way back, many soldiers, whether Han Chinese, Qiang people, Qi people, Di people, Ding Ling people, all kinds of people turned into hungry ghosts, and from time to time rushed into the prisoner of war camp where the prisoners were held, and pulled out the women to go out for adultery.

With the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed, it is like opening an uncovered assembly, which is really unhappy!

If those more chaste Han girls in the Central Plains suffered such humiliation, they might cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, and directly end their lives.

It's a pity that these Xianbei women, after being violated, just cried and cried, and did not make any suicidal moves.

For what the soldiers under his command did, Shi Min let it go, and did not prohibit it like the last battle of the Jin Dynasty, and there was no forgiveness for killing.

Looking at Shi Min, who was reading a book on the edge of the table and reading with relish, Hua Mulan couldn't help but be angry, and pouted: "Governor, how can you still be so calm?" Didn't you say that it was forbidden for soldiers to burn, kill, and plunder innocent civilians? Now you go out and take a look, outside, there are men and women with bare asses everywhere! stinky and shameless, they all ...... They are all raping those humble women! ”

"If the Hu people like the Di people and the Qiang people do this, we can't care about it, but now our Han soldiers are doing this! Governor, you have established a military law, haven't you issued three orders to strictly prohibit soldiers from burning, killing, and plundering innocent civilians? Now that the soldiers have done this, where is your military law?! ”

Hua Mulan glared and said, "In this way, won't the military law you established become a dead letter?" ”

Shi Min was still reading there, motionless.

"The Grand Duke! Are you listening to me? Mulan jumped to her feet.

Until this time, Shi Min put down the book "Zuo Chuan" in his hand, shook his head and said, "I'm listening." ”

"Then do you know what the soldiers are doing outside these days?"

"Yes."

"Then how can you remain indifferent?"

Hearing this, Shi Min immediately turned around, beckoned, and said, "Come over Mulan." ”

"What for?" Hua Mulan was suspicious of this, but based on her trust in Shi Min, she still sat down in front of Shi Min slowly.

Shi Min immediately put his hands on Mulan's shoulders, looked at each other, and said with a torch in his eyes: "Mulan, do you understand a man's desires?" ”

"Desire...... Desire? Mulan shuddered with fright.

Of course, Shi Min and Hua Mulan are so cordial, naturally it is impossible to be afraid, she is just overwhelmed by Shi Min's abrupt movements.

"Yes, it's desire!" Shi Min said solemnly, "Each of us will have such a thing as desire, which is an innate thing. Desires can also be said to be ambitions and dreams, but everyone's desires are different! ”

"Do you know what is in the hearts of those who are committing adultery with humble women, and the soldiers who are committing adultery and plundering in the land?"

Shi Min's voice was a little low, but that didn't prevent Mulan from understanding.

"This ...... I do not know. ”

Shi Min patted Mulan's shoulders again and said softly, "How can you know?" For us men, there are three things that are indispensable when a husband is born in the world, one is money, one is power, and the other is women! These three things have a fatal allure for men. ”

"Therefore, they can't resist the temptation of women, which is why they ......"

"Not bad. The children can be taught. ”

Shi Min let go of Mulan's shoulders and said: "The soldiers are like evil wolves, this wolf doesn't know the taste of meat for three years, you said that when they encounter fragrant dumplings, they will not lose their minds and rush up?" No one is a saint, and Sage Kong also said, 'Chromophobia'. ”

This is their desire, their need. So it's normal for them to lose control of the thing under their crotch. ”

"But...... Aren't those women who are bullied pitiful? Mulan said hesitantly.

"Yes, they're pathetic, but I can't and don't want to help them." Shi Min shrugged his shoulders and said.

"But why? General, that's not what you said last time you were in Yunyang! ”

"This time and that time. And the situation is completely different. ”

Shi Min said lightly: "Mulan, I hope you can understand." It is true that an army that enforces orders and prohibits can win battles and survive a hundred battles, but in this kind of troubled times, in this kind of troubled times where human lives are like mustard, more people are still unruly and unafraid of death! ”

"My military orders, they dare not disobey now, but if they do not explode in silence, they will perish in silence. I don't want them to just be forced to submit to me by my power, what I need is that they can love me and support me from the bottom of their hearts, can you understand that? ”

"This ......" Mulan was stunned.

"Looks like you still don't understand." Shi Min sighed and said, "Anyway, Mulan, you just need to remember that an army must not only quench blood, not only must be orderly, but their character must also be tenacious and unyielding, full of wildness and blood. And that way of release can be regarded as a gift, and it can also warm the wildness of the soldiers. ”
