The grain and grass were put aside in advance, Wang Cheng looked at Cheng Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, and said, "Lao Cheng, let's talk about it, it turns out that how many of General Liu's old subordinates can be recalled?" ”

What he lacks most now is people, a dignified general, and he can't even get together four thousand people, which still counts those people brought by Zhang Han.

If General Zhenxi transferred Zhang Han's group of people back, there would really be no one under him, so he was now arresting Zhuangding, and he could catch as many as he could.

Cheng Yi frowned, his face showed some bitterness, and said: "After Xia Gou opened the city gate that day, General Liu led us to resist desperately, but the leader of that Xia Dog was too powerful, General Liu didn't even catch him a move, and the person was captured. ”

"We resisted desperately, but we couldn't defeat the hundreds of people, but we were killed and lost their armor. General Liu couldn't bear to wait for us to sacrifice in vain, and he broke his heart and died......"

His expression became more and more painful, and when he said the back, tears could not stop pouring out of his eyes.

"So, out of the more than 9,000 defenders in the south, less than 3,000 are still alive?" Wang Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Poof!"

Cheng Yi knelt on the ground and said to Wang Cheng: "General, you must avenge General Liu and the dead brothers!" They died so badly! ”

"Get up!"

Zhang Han walked up to him, helped him up, and said, "Old Cheng, almost all the summer dogs who killed General Liu and the brothers were wiped out by General Wang and us, and only one sixth prince and a few summer dogs escaped alive. ”

"The Sixth Prince?" Cheng Yi was stunned.

Zhang Han nodded, and then revealed the identities of the group of people who raided Nanli County.

Cheng Yi was stunned at first, and then said angrily: "What a sixth son of the Xia King!" No wonder only a few hundred people can kill my 6,000 defenders fleeing in despair, it turned out to be the forbidden army of the Xia Kingdom! ”

"Brush!"

He suddenly looked up at Wang Cheng on the main seat, thinking that this Lord Wang really lived up to his reputation.

Nearly half of their nearly 6,000 defenders were killed, but Wang Cheng and the others almost wiped out all of them.

The gap between before and after is so big, it's like one day and one place!

"Lao Cheng, can you get back the remaining part of the centaurs?" Wang Cheng then asked.

Cheng Yi nodded: "I can still find it back, but Lao Cheng needs the general to promise me one thing." ”

"Say it!" Wang Cheng said without hesitation.

"After those people come back, Lao Cheng hopes that the general will not punish them!" Righteousness.

Before Wang Cheng could speak, Zhang Han on the side first said: "I said, Lao Cheng, was your brain squeezed by the door?" The general even took it from you, and you will blame others? ”

"You're too worried!"

Wang Cheng took over and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, it is not easy for you to survive when you encounter the sixth son of King Xia and the forbidden army under him." ”

Cheng Yi said excitedly: "Thank you, General!" ”

Wang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Okay! Try to call those brothers back first, and come to me directly if you have any problems! ”

"Yes!" Righteousness.

Wang Cheng said again: "It's not too late, Lao Cheng, Lao Zhang, the two of you can stay in the mansion and dine together!" ”

Cheng Yi and Zhang Han glanced at each other and nodded without hesitation.

At present, the county seat of Nanli is badly damaged, and there is no tavern or anything like that, so if they want to eat, they either go to the camp or find someone to get it themselves.

Naturally, there are people cooking in the General's Mansion, and the maids and servants who originally belonged to the General's Mansion have not all been wiped out, like the cooks who can cook are still alive, otherwise Li Xiang's gang would not have eaten ready-made meals last night.

Needless to say, there is a lot of wine and food.

After the meal, Wang Cheng arranged for Chengyi to take some people to recall those old departments.

Zhang Han is naturally also entangled in official duties, and he is responsible for the city defense of Nanli County.

Although Li Xiang's gang was basically wiped out, no one could say whether they would make a comeback, and once they really killed them again, they could only be killed if they had no defense.

Wang Cheng himself was also very busy, first screening the soldiers who had re-registered at noon to see if there were any unidentified people mixed in.

Then, check the population, ordnance, and food and salary of Nanli County one by one, and keep them in mind.

After doing this, Li Hong and Li Sheng, who were arranged by him to find someone, also returned.

Li Sheng didn't tell a lie, and really returned to the city with a large number of people from Nanli County.

"General, the small ones have recovered more than 750 families, with a total population of more than 3,000 people, and some of them may have run too far and failed to find them back in time......"

Li Sheng stood in the hall and reported to Wang Cheng the specific process of their trip.

"Nanli County has a population of nearly 20,000 people, hiding in the city, counting the ones you recovered, now there is not even half of it, are there so many casualties in the battle yesterday?" Wang Cheng sighed.

Li Hong, who was standing on the side, said: "Yesterday's battle was too tragic, if it wasn't for General Liu leading us to resist desperately, maybe there would have been more casualties." ”

Wang Cheng had not experienced yesterday's battle, but he could already imagine the bloody scene.

There are less than 20,000 people in the south from the county seat, and nearly 10,000 people died yesterday, what is the difference between slaughtering the city?

"Smack!"

He slapped the bookcase and smashed it, he walked down the steps and said angrily: "This summer dog is really not a fucking human, and he dares to slaughter the city? ”

Previously, he led the army to raid Ji County and burned Yingzhou, but he had never done such a thing as slaughtering the city. Because once you do it, it will inevitably cause the other party's crazy revenge.

"It's all right, there aren't even 10,000 people in the city now, and then throw away those big families......"

Wang Cheng suddenly felt that it was a mess, even if he added the common people, there were less than 10,000 people available to him.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and said to Li Hong and Li Sheng: "I have to work hard for the two of you to make a trip, and give me all the villages and towns in Nanli County." ”

"General, why is that?" Li Hong was curious.

Wang Cheng smiled mysteriously, and then told the two of them his thoughts and plans.

"Will this work?" Li Sheng was skeptical.

Wang Cheng said: "You have to try it to know, you two do what I say first." ”

The two looked at each other, then retired.

Wang Cheng continued to return to the bookcase that had been smashed by a palm, beckoned his subordinates to change to a new one, and then continued to bury his head in the thick pile of documents.

Unconsciously, the red sun is slanting westward.

Towards evening, Xu Yu and Li Xu entered the hall, followed by Liu Wenjing.

Wang Cheng put down the documents in his hand and looked at the three of them: "It's all cleared?" ”

Xu Yu and Li Xu nodded, then stepped forward and handed over a stack of documents in their arms.

Wang Cheng glanced at it roughly, looked up at the two of them, and said, "I remember it in detail, how could it be so fast?" ”

Xu Yu and Li Xu looked at Liu Wenjing on the side at the same time, and then Xu Yu said: "General, I can register so quickly, firstly, thanks to the fact that many people have been led back by Team Li, and secondly, there is the help of the eldest lady." ”

Hearing the mention of herself, Liu Wenjing lifted the show head well, revealing her white neck like a goose neck.

Wang Cheng wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he still nodded and praised: "Good job!" ”

"Isn't that good?"

Liu Wenjing said proudly: "General, there are already a hundred women under the mark, no, to be precise, it is one hundred and twenty-eight women, and now they are all waiting in the courtyard, please show the general." ”

Wang Cheng nodded, then his face turned blank, and said, "Tell me, how did you get enough of these women?" ”

Liu Wenjing replied: "These one hundred and twenty-eight women are either widows who have just lost their husbands, or they are maids who have fled from some large families, and they are already homeless. ”

"Not bad!"

Wang Cheng looked pleased, it seemed that he underestimated this eldest lady, and he really had some ability.

Of course, it is Liu Wenjing's identity that plays a role, the daughter of the mighty general, and a word can make many people follow her.

Wang Cheng looked at Liu Wenjing and said, "From now on, all these one hundred and twenty-eight women will be under your command!" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Wenjing was stunned, she had always been curious about why Wang Cheng would let her get together a hundred women, and even maliciously speculated about Wang Cheng's intentions, but she just didn't think that Wang Cheng wanted to incorporate these women into the army.

Even Xu Yu and Li Xu were stunned for the first time after hearing it, is their general going to let a woman join the army?

Since ancient times, women are not allowed to join the army, which is an iron law in the army, because the influence of women in the army is too great.

Externally, it will make the enemy country look down on it, and even men cannot be found; Internally, it will hit the morale of the army, and it is easy for women to enter the army to distract male soldiers.

Think about it, a group of big men, living with some women, do they still have the heart to fight?

As the saying goes, after two or three years in the army, the sow races the sable. When a pig walks over, he has to stare at the butt and divide the male and female.

Although it is an exaggeration, men's desire for women is an instinct that no one can contain.

"As for these one hundred and twenty-eight women, it's not for them to march and fight like men, I have another purpose!"

Wang Cheng said and picked up a document from the bookcase, handed it to Liu Wenjing, and said, "You take a look first, and if you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me." ”

Liu Wenjing opened the document and looked at it, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, which completely refreshed her cognition.

Xu Yu and Li Xu on the side saw that Liu Wenjing's expression couldn't help changing, and they couldn't hold back their temperament and wanted to step forward to take a look, but because Wang Cheng was in front of them, they could only glance at it.

After a while, Liu Wenjing finally finished reading it, closed the paperwork, and said with some excitement: "General, are we really that powerful?" ”

Wang Cheng said: "There has always been an old saying in my hometown, a woman can hold up half the sky. There are many things that men can do, but they are not as good as women. ”

He stared at Liu Wenjing and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will follow the methods I taught you to train these female soldiers step by step." I want them to meet my expectations within a month. If this can be done, all female soldiers will be paid the same as male soldiers. ”

Liu Wenjing's expression was solemn, and he saluted: "Get the order!" ”
