Chapter 419: What's the Situation?!

Duan Yu listened to Meng Song's words, and felt incredible, just the hellish scene yesterday, he didn't think how many people in the county army and Qingzhuang were willing to join, after all, there were still a few people who liked to lick blood at the tip of a knife.

Meng Song continued to look at the county commander Liang Du, and for the purpose of respecting the county government, he said euphemistically: "Puxian Cheng, there were many casualties in the city yesterday, especially the young and strong, although our victory was covered up for the time being, but I think the people in the city will still panic because of this, I hope that Liang County Commander will come forward on behalf of the county government to appease the people, criticize the evil deeds of the Youjun, so that the people in the city can join forces with us."

"I see."

Liang Du nodded, quite satisfied with the task assigned by Meng Song. After all, the task assigned to him by Meng Song was not too hard, but it could greatly increase his prestige and reputation as a county magistrate.

Meng Song turned his head to Pu Hong and said, "Pu Xiancheng. I'm afraid the responsibility is a little harder. The county soldiers and young men who died in the battle yesterday, I hope that Pu County Cheng will come forward to compensate on behalf of the county government. You can allocate some money and food from the county treasury, or you can negotiate with the merchants in the city to arrange for their families to be in restaurants and workshops in the city, and give them a stable and subsistence job, so as not to chill people's hearts."

Pu Hong nodded with a serious expression: "This is the right thing to do, and it really should be."

Subsequently, Meng Song assigned tasks to Han Yan, Zhu Heng, Guo Ping\ Zhang Teng, Shi Pu, Lu Yun and others, and in general it was nothing more than to recruit new soldiers as soon as possible, sort out the ordnance, and complete the preparation of the Eighth Army in the shortest possible time, so that they could set out tomorrow.

However, before the Tang army recruited new soldiers, Meng Song also instructed them to do one thing, that is, the Tang army and the county army cleaned up yesterday's battlefield and collected loot.

It turned out that yesterday, because the king suddenly led the soldiers of the Tenth Army to arrive, the Youjun who attacked Zhuolu did not have time to take away many corpses in a hurry, and naturally, there was no chance to take away the weapons and equipment of the sacrificed soldiers.

Forget the tens of thousands of slaves who died in the siege yesterday, these people have almost nothing of value, but in addition, there are nearly 30,000 corpses of soldiers outside the city. These soldiers of the Phantom Army, that is a regular army with complete armor.

Zhuolu County is currently short of weapons and armor, and it is just right to use the weapons and armor of these soldiers to make up for the shortcomings.

The reason why Meng Song let the Tang army and the county army go out of the city to clean up the battlefield together was nothing more than to reward these two parties.

Around the end of the day, the east gate and the north gate of Zhuolu County were opened, and the Tang army and the county army went out of the city one after another to the outside of the city, and packed up the weapons and armor left by the Youjun army outside the city.

It is a pleasure to clean up the battlefield as the victorious side, because no one knows what good things are hidden on those corpses, especially those of the ghostly soldiers, who have come from the thistle, and it is not difficult to guess that there must be something of value hidden on the body in addition to weapons and armor.

No, a Tang soldier quickly turned out a cloth bag from the armor of a ghost soldier's corpse, shook it open, and saw that among the several jewelry inside, there was actually a gold bracelet.

"Wow!"

The Tang sergeant, who still had bandages on his arms, immediately ignored the injuries on his body and danced and cheered, causing everyone to look sideways.

Someone was so envious that he secretly spat out: Phew! What dog luck!

There are also those who turn a blind eye to this, for example, not far from the county lieutenant Duan Yu, there is a Tang sergeant who glanced at the dancing comrade lightly, and said with an inexplicable cold expression: "What do you want that thing to do? Who knows if there will be a life tomorrow?"

When Duan Yu heard this, he turned his head in surprise and recognized that the Tang soldier who said frustrating words was the regimental general Lu Yun.

Not only Duan Yu looked at Lu Yun, but the rest of the Tang Army soldiers nearby also turned their heads to look at the latter, and a few of them frowned unhappily.

Lu Yun ignored the gazes of these people, but skillfully took off his armor from the corpse of a ghost soldier, and then he hung the two pieces of leather armor he had looted on his body, packed a few spears, clamped them under his ribs, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

Duan Yu showed a somewhat complicated look on his face, and said secretly in his heart, "This old boy took the opportunity to take two or three pieces of loot."

When the Tang army in Zhuolu County cleaned up the battlefield and the three Tang armies rushed to Fuyang. In

Han Xuan, the captain of the Youguo Kingdom of Fuyang, was feasting on the generals of the army in the Shanggu County Guard Mansion at this time.

In the main hall of the county guard's house, the coals are burning vigorously in the copper basin, making the hall steaming hot, and the cold outside cannot enter.

In the open space in the center of the main hall, more than a dozen beautiful and enchanting dancers danced in silk robes.

Han Xuan held the wine glass in his hand, and looked at the dancing girl below with drunken eyes, and the desire rose in his heart. However, as an old fritter galloping in the officialdom, he can still restrain the desires in his heart.

I saw his eyes glancing downward, and he saw Li Cong looking at the dancing beauty with a face, the elder of Ha Laziliu. Most of the generals of the house slave army are like Li Cong, if it weren't for Han Xuan and the generals of the Youjun army, it is estimated that their group of hungry ghosts would have held an unobstructed meeting in this main hall a long time ago.

Zhang Lang didn't look at these dancing girls, just slowly sipped the wine in the glass, and then gulped down the meat in front of him.

Jin Chong watched the beautiful women dance while drinking, but his eyes were clear, and he didn't have any thoughts of Yin evil at all.

Zhu Ba is different, he is gnawing on cooked pig's trotters, looking at the beautiful woman with an evil smile, a fierce and vicious barbarian.

As the captain of Youguo, Han Xuan will not be so incompetent that he can no longer lead the army to fight, let alone be timid because he was defeated in Zhuolu City for a while. It's just that today is the New Year's Day, and yesterday's Youjun army failed in attacking Zhuolu County, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, and the morale of the army is very low, and it is urgent to rest.

Just when Han Xuan and the generals were holding a banquet, the Youjun stationed in Fuyang City also let go, celebrated in the barracks, and invited the Qinglou in the city into the barracks.

The soldiers who patrolled the city wall listened to the voices inside and outside the city, and were indignant in their hearts, if their ability was enough, why would they be so angry that they were driven out to patrol on New Year's Day. He thought angrily, and when he looked up, he saw smoke and dust rising in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a loud vibration, and when he looked into the distance, he saw the dancing military flag, and his heart was shocked: "Tang ...... Tang Jun!"

He hurriedly shouted, "Chief! Tang Jun! Tang Jun!"

Of course, the chief of the Youjun also saw it, and he quickly picked up the small hammer placed on the wooden table, and sounded the alarm bell when he picked it up.

"Bell! Clang! Bell!"

The sharp alarm bell sounded inside and outside Fuyang City, and Han Xuan, who was already drunk in the county guard's mansion, heard the voice, and the wine suddenly woke up halfway, he stood up in disbelief and shouted loudly, "What's the situation?!"
