Such a big river, the water flow is extremely strong, and the water quality is clear all year round, but on this day, a section of the river was dyed bright red.
The battle of 100,000 people, the large-scale army duel, the blood flowed like a river, half of the 100,000 people died, and the blood stained a river red.
Killing 100,000 enemy soldiers with fear, he has completely lost his combat effectiveness, Gu Shaohua did not continue to swing the knife, although the blood-drinking sword is still hungry and thirsty, he doesn't want to be a butcher who can only kill, especially someone who has no ability to resist.
A big victory, accompanied by a long time of bloodshed that is difficult to clean, red all over the river, red all over the banks, this clear red, has not dissipated for a long time.
Many years later, this bloody battle on the bank of the Luojiang River is still circulating, and the older generation tells it as a story to the younger generations, and the heroic posture of the ancestors and the cruelty of the war have left a legend for the ages.
――――――――――
The Luo River is a river that flows from east to west, but it is only the main road, and it also has many tributaries, and a tributary that flows to the south is not small, and the big ships that carry thousands of materials are not hindered.
This tributary can't reach Yanghe County, but it can enter the sea halfway, and continue to drive south along the coastline to reach Yanghe County.
The river transportation of Qi is relatively developed, although the sea transportation is not as good as the river transportation, but there is also a lot of experience accumulation, as long as the offshore boat, do not experience strong winds and waves, there will be no accidents.
Along the way, I was lucky, neither encountered strong winds and waves, nor did I encounter fighting, and returned to Yanghe County safely.
Yanghe County is located in the south of Qi State, adjacent to the Red Sea, more than a dozen large ships came back, docked at the wharf, and a boatload of people disembarked in an orderly manner.
The first to come down were tens of thousands of prisoners, more than half of the 100,000 enemy troops were killed, and the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 people had lost their morale and fighting spirit, and it was useless to kill them, and Gu Shaohua didn't want to let them go, so he had to be taken prisoners.
Forty or fifty thousand men is not a small number, and if there is a riot on the ship, it will be a big trouble, and the number of soldiers escorted is not as large as the number of prisoners.
Fortunately, these prisoners have been disabled, and they have no weapons in their hands, and under the shock of the elite border army, they are relatively honest along the way and do not dare to spit out thorns.
More than 30,000 soldiers, escorting 40,000 or 50,000 prisoners, disembarked from large ships and lined up in several long lines, which lasted for half an hour.
There was already a crowd waiting on the dock, and an old man standing at the front, wearing a crimson official uniform, looked majestic and quite imposing.
Behind the old man, there stood an official, wearing a blue-green official uniform, all of them looking respectful, as if they were some subordinate officials.
On the other side, there was a row of military generals, wearing armor, swords and swords, majestic and high-spirited, and at a glance you could feel the martial arts atmosphere on their background, which was obviously different from the civil officials over there.
Gu Shaohua stood on the side of the big ship, quietly watching the soldiers escorting the prisoners past, orderly, and couldn't help nodding slightly, in a good mood.
These 40,000 or 50,000 captives are of great use, even if they are worried about mutiny, they cannot be organized into soldiers, and they are not bad to use as labor.
When his gaze moved to the officials standing in two rows, Gu Shaohua frowned slightly, and asked Guan Youwei softly: "Sir, who are those officials?"
Guan Youwei replied in a low voice: "This is the civil and military official of Yanghe County, the old man at the front of the civil official is the county guard Ma Luo of Yanghe County, and the military attache is headed by Yang Cheng, the general of Zhonglang." In Yanghe County, civil officials and military attaches are two different systems, civil officials are appointed by the imperial court and are not subject to the control of the prince, and military attaches are their own people. ”
This kind of civil and military division is not unusual, it is nothing more than a check and balance made by the imperial court in order to limit the power of the eldest prince.
Gu Shaohua nodded: "Sir, I'm not very familiar with the situation, I'll see more and talk less later, if there's anything to deal with, you can help me block it." ”
"Yes. ”
Possession should be followed.
It was not good to let the civil and military officials who greeted him wait for a long time, Gu Shaohua got off the boat, and a group of officials, hula and cheered, came up and bowed to Gu Shaohua.
"Xiaguan see Hou Ye. ”
"The last general will meet the Hou Ye. ”
......
Although Shen Jue is the eldest prince, the official title is the Marquis of Zhige, and he rules the border army with this title, so everyone here calls him the Hou Ye.
"Excuse me, everyone. ”
Gu Shaohua held his hands in a false position and said loudly.
Along the way, Gu Shaohua asked Guan Youwei a lot about the eldest prince Shen Jue, including what kind of reaction he should have when he met people close to him or who he often came into contact with.
"Master Hou, my colleagues and I have prepared a dust washing banquet for you, and I hope that Lord Hou will come with a face. ”
After getting up, Marlowe, the county guard, said with a smile on his face.
The county guard Ma Luo was directly appointed by the imperial court and was the head of the civil officials of Yanghe County, so as to restrain the eldest prince, lest he run Yanghe County into an iron pass, and to put it bluntly, he was afraid that he would divide the territory or rebel.
The relationship between the two is antagonistic, but Marlowe is not as strong as the eldest prince, and it is not easy to restrain a prince who holds military power, especially a prince like the eldest prince Shen Jue.
Therefore, the county guard Marlowe has always been pressed by the eldest prince, not to mention restricting him, and his own power will be violated from time to time.
When facing the eldest prince, Marlowe's posture has always been very low, almost a little flattering, and he doesn't care about the face of the county guard at all. Of course, it can also be considered that Marlowe doesn't have that ability, if it is a character like Hai Rui, no matter who you are, what status you have, and what ability you have, you don't buy it.
In Yanghe County, the civil and military paths are distinct, if there is a strong county guard to lead, maybe the civil and military can be separated, but the eldest prince Shen Jue is too strong, and Ma Luo is not a tough person, which makes the generals a lot more domineering.
No, seeing that Ma Luo took the lead, Yang Cheng was not convinced, squeezed forward, and said loudly: "Master Hou, we have also prepared a banquet for you, our brothers will accompany you to have a good drink, and you will not return home if you are not drunk." ”
Yang Cheng, as a lieutenant general, has a lower grade than the county guard Marlowe, but he doesn't take Marlowe in his eyes at all, and when he stepped forward, he squeezed Marlo and pushed him aside, although Marlowe frowned slightly and showed dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Gu Shaohua understands the disagreement between Yang and the county's civil and military affairs, and the military general's dominance is what Shen Jue is used to before, and he has no intention of changing anything.
"No need, I'm a little tired, I'll talk about it later. ”
Gu Shaohua said lightly, his footsteps did not stop, and he walked straight.
This is just an excuse made by Gu Shaohua, he is not a real prince, he is not familiar with these civil and military generals at all, if he goes to drink, it will not be good if he shows any flaws.
Moreover, Gu Shaohua still has his own plan to implement, time is pressing, and he has no intention of taking care of some other things he doesn't want to do.
