Chapter Ninety-Eight: Heart-to-Heart
It's over.
This battle completely knocked out the courage and self-esteem of the people of the Western Regions, and destroyed their belief in resistance.
Hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, who did not fight a decent battle at all, surrendered like this. Wen Su and Weitou's armies are not one enemy, what else are they resisting?
The once powerful army is now like a sheep, neatly throwing weapons together, and then being driven back to the camp honestly, Lu Guang is really atmospheric, and only 1 person is sent to guard every 100 people on average.
On the one hand, there is naturally a shortage of manpower, and in fact, even if you do your best, one person has to take care of seven or eight. But more importantly, Lu Guang has absolute self-confidence!
He was confident that these people from the Western Regions would not dare to cause any more trouble.
Cleaning up the battlefield, not only Lu Guang was not interested, but even Du Jin, Jiang Fei and others were not interested.
However, there is one person who is interested, and that is our protagonist Duan Ye.
Don't get me wrong, he doesn't want to get any money out of the dead. In fact, this battle was mainly a rout battle, and the proportion of people killed in the total number of the Western Regions Alliance Army was not particularly large, but the indomitable momentum and invincible combat effectiveness of the Qin army completely frightened them.
Even so, on the battlefield, there are still corpses everywhere, bleeding and drifting.
Otherwise, how can it be said that it will be a success.
Duan Ye's job is not complicated, it is nothing more than to command a bunch of people, bury the corpses in a centralized manner, so as not to give birth to a plague, and gather the property and weapons that can be taken away, as well as the living war horses, and distribute them to the subordinates. Of course, people who do this kind of work have a routine to rub oil, and Duan Ye didn't take more at all, not less at all. He really needs money.
Also, the need to make up for the living is not the slightest mercy, mainly because the army cannot afford the huge cost of healing. These people are alive, it is better to be dead.
Of course, Comrade Duan Ye is a lazy man, and if he is expected to do this himself, then the sun will come out in the west. After assigning their respective tasks, all Duan Ye had to do was take a walk on the battlefield.
Duan Fangcai also killed a lot, and his combat skills should be improved, but at this time, he still followed Duan Ye's side.
"Look!" Duan Ye pointed with his big hand, "After this battle here, just the buried corpses are enough to change the soil quality here, maybe in thousands of years, this place will no longer be Qiuzi City, will it become a desert, or will it become fertile soil?" ”
Seeing Duan Ye sigh with emotion, Duan Ping smiled and said: "My lord, thousands of years later, I don't know what will happen to my humble position, but my humble position knows that no one will come to this place for more than ten years." The decline of Qiuzi is probably inevitable. ”
"They can migrate." Duan Ye said lightly, "There is no eternal city, especially they are not an agricultural people, if a place is not suitable for survival, they will not hesitate to abandon everything, this is not like our Han people." ”
"My lord......" Duan Ping hesitated, "Actually, there are a lot of loot this time, and although other small countries have surrendered, they also have a lot of filial piety, but we are now short of money." ”
Duan Ye looked sideways at Duan Ping, who was full of enthusiasm, shook his head, and said, "No, you can't lose a big one because of a small one, I am already very satisfied with getting the share I deserve this time." Besides, even if he trusts me now, he is not very trusting, and he can't do anything that makes him suspicious. ”
Duan Ping is also a smart person, he can understand it at all, "I see! If the adults don't take a penny, they must be suspicious under the section, if they take too much, other red-eyed people will definitely have trouble, and they will have to be traced under the festival. ”
"There's nothing to admire, it's just an unspoken rule in the army." Duan Ping smiled lightly, "Actually, since the unspoken rules have become rules, they naturally make sense, so let's just abide by them." ”
"Subordinates are taught."
"That's right." Duan Ye suddenly remembered, "Did your disciples participate in the war this time, and how did they perform?" ”
"Thanks to the blessing of the adults, the sons and daughters have all participated in the war, and a few of them are still young, and they were a little stunned at first, but with their uncles and brothers following, they are all fine, and they can be regarded as seeing blood. There were a few little cubs who were hurt, but it didn't matter. ”
"Well, it's so good, a hundred times of practice, it's not as good as a real battle." Duan Ye said with relief, "There are still a lot of cloths sent by Ge Bo, and I am not sure about the pension standard in the army, you can give them a pension according to the standard of 1 times more than that in the army, although they are injured, they can be regarded as blood donations, which is not less." ”
"My lord, now is the time to use money!"
"That's it!" Duan Ye was a rare dictator for a while, "Money, it's very important, you can't do it without money, but after all, it's something outside your body, compared to a few of them, what is it with just a few of them?" ”
"Your Excellency!" Duan Ping was obviously a little excited. Who doesn't know that in the army, the most obvious thing, the thing that makes the soldiers the most angry, is to eat empty salaries and greedy pensions, and the generals have no other way to make money, except for plundering, isn't it mainly deducted from the soldiers?
However, even if the soldiers cursed the generals every day for giving birth to sons without eyes, what would they do? People should be greedy and corrupt, and you have the ability to rebel? Bomb the camp to go? Impossible.
That pitiful bereavement pension can only be symbolically given to the dead, and from generals to quartermasters to grassroots officers, how many are really in the hands of non-commissioned officers?
Of course, Duan Ping is not stupid, he knows that Duan Ye is buying people's hearts. However, whatever the matter, no matter what the motive, if it is really in place, then the fake is also true. What's more, Duan Ye's heart, he asked himself to know, it was more true than a needle.
"My lord, if you don't say anything else, Duan Ping won't say anything, Duan Ping has thrown his words here today, in the future, the sons and nephews of the Duan family will definitely swear to serve the adults! If there is a violator, the ancestors do not bless, and heaven and earth do not tolerate it! Duan Ping's black face turned red, but his eyes were full of heat!
"Why bother." Duan Ye Zhengse said, "Treat people with sincerity, don't rely on poisonous oaths to curse, let alone ...... Don't forget, although you and I are not from the same clan, I also have the surname Duan. ”
That's right! That's right! Five hundred years ago, it was a family, and one stroke could not write two "paragraphs"!
Duan Ye stretched out his hand with a smile, and Duan Ping held Duan Ye's hand excitedly.
"You will always be the people I trust the most, and I am willing to show you my back." Duan Ye said word by word.
Duan Ping nodded firmly and said, "We will only support you silently forever and support you to go on!" ”
It's a commitment from two men!
At this time, on the battlefield of Xiao Se, a vulture flew by.
