Chapter 148: Sacrifice with Blood
Eight hundred miles in an expedited way, just to enhance fame. In order for everyone in the world to know, Ying Fei needs to be as good as the sky.
Only when fame is beaten, there will be great talents to follow. Ying Fei, the family is not strong, and there is no one else to help her. If you want to make a name for yourself, the fastest and most direct way is to go to war.
A hearty victory is the most urgently needed by the stormy Han Dynasty. This war, in particular, was against aliens.
Expanding the territory is a dream for a general and an emperor.
Once Yingfei's eight hundred miles are expedited, they will be sent to Luoyang. There will inevitably be an earthquake. An unprecedented earthquake will slow down the obvious decline.
Moreover, Liu Hong will definitely seize this opportunity. Purge the forces in the army to achieve their own goals.
After staying with Liu Hong for a while, Ying Fei knew that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Its forbearance is far beyond that of ordinary emperors. It's just that the time is not right, and the momentum is not obvious. Such a trapped dragon, once it escapes, it will inevitably come out of the abyss and be proud of Kyushu.
Ying Fei glanced at everyone, looked at Guo Jia, and said, "Feng Xiao, three days later, the whole army will be on the highest platform, and Fei will personally sacrifice it."
"No."
For three days in a row, Wei Liang and the others were busy. And Ying Fei sat in the palace and looked at Loulan Guozhi. Seek it, for the record of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
"My lord."
The door was wide open, and a tiger general hurried in. Nodding towards Ying Fei, he said, "My subordinates will take people to raid the Loulan treasury, this is the number, please take a look."
"Hmm."
Listening is the issue she is most concerned about, Ying Fei's eyes lit up and she took the list.
"Sss
Look at the list, the number of its lists. It directly startled Ying Fei, he had never seen so much money.
Jewelry, calligraphy and painting, antiquities......
Together, they are equivalent to 50,000 taels of gold and 170,000 taels of silver. This amount, Ying Fei was stunned. Such a strong fiscal is comparable to half of the tax paid by the Han Dynasty.
"Dig it out and transport it back to Dunhuang."
"No."
Pang Rou's eyes shrank and she took a deep look at Ying Fei. At this moment, he understood why Ying Fei was so obsessed with attacking Loulan.
The wealth of a country is comparable to that of the Central Plains.
And its lack of troops is simply a gift of money. The main thing is that Dunhuang County is in a dilapidated state and cannot be changed in a short time without strong financial support.
Loulan's wealth can just be made up. and to feed their people with the proceeds of plunder. With this huge amount of money, Ying Fei can temporarily relieve her worries.
I no longer care about logistics and concentrate on development.
Dozens of boxes of gold, hundreds of boxes of silver. Loaded into the carriage, escorted by a thousand heavy horses and a thousand light horses, they trekked in the direction of Dunhuang County.
"My lord."
Guo Jia whispered, a touch of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he was amazed in his heart. Loulan is a small country with 29 cities, and the wealth of one of its countries is so huge.
Glancing at the shocked Guo Jia, Ying Fei smiled and said, "Fengxiao, in fact, this is not much."
"In the Han Dynasty, the field tax was thirty taxes one, plus other taxes, and the income could be 10 billion yuan a year. The contract is 100,000 taels of gold and 1,000,000 taels of silver. ”
"Loulan is rich in the world, so she gathers wealth. Don't be amazed. ”
When Guo Jia heard this, a different color appeared in his eyes. He is keen on military affairs and has always stayed away from government affairs. I don't know that the Han Dynasty has a year of taxes.
"Congratulations, my lord."
Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he said towards Ying Fei. With a sharp mind, he suddenly understood the importance of this windfall to Ying Fei.
A war is not only about the sophistication of weapons, but also about the well-trained soldiers. In the final analysis, war is about logistics, and it is about money.
50,000 gold, 170,000 silver.
This huge amount of money can make Dunhuang County rich in an instant, comparable to the big counties in the Central Plains. Moreover, with this money, Ying Fei can expand the army without any scruples.
With this huge amount of money, raise its soldiers.
Ying Fei can skip taxes and directly pay for the army. In this way, the increase in troops will also minimize its adverse impact on Dunhuang County.
"Haha, I'm happy."
……
Three days passed in a flash.
In the south of the city, this area of people moved. There is no end to it, and there are no dwellings. There is only one large tomb after another, which sits here.
The loess above the tomb is still renovated. Ying Fei walked over, her eyes heavy. For a while, the mood was also depressed.
Looking up, there are many large graves, and the number is not clear. In front of the tomb, there is a huge high platform.
It is eight feet tall and rises on a staircase. At the top of the high platform, long incense curls and smoke fills the air. Under the high platform, all three armies gathered. The whole body is vegetarian, and it is snow-white.
"Deng."
"Deng."
"Deng."
……
Ying Fei went alone and walked to the top of the high platform step by step. The audience was dead silent, and a different kind of emotion was brewing.
One bow up to ninety degrees.
The guard of a county, this is the heaviest etiquette. It stands to reason that except for Master Yingfei and his parents, no one dares to accept it calmly.
Under the high platform, Loulan Junchen responded. Tie your hands and feet and stand on top of the first floor. The whole army is plain, and the spirit flag is waving in the wind.
"Huh."
Draw the sword out of the sheath, and cut off the green silk. Ying Fei didn't look at the hair that fell to the ground, and said in a deep voice.
"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it. Today, Fei is the commander of an army, and after the First World War, more than half of the casualties are also Fei's crimes. ”
"The guard of Feiyi County, guarding the border. The duty is not to die lightly. Now, cut the hair and act as the head to punish oneself. ”
"Whew."
The atmosphere in the field changed, and the 4,000-strong army breathed heavily. They all held their heads high and looked directly at Ying Fei. The anger in his eyes was surging and the shame was growing.
The atmosphere changed, and Ying Fei felt it. His eyes narrowed, and he let it go. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he shouted, "Four thousand three hundred and sixty-one people, died on the battlefield." The blue blood stained the sky red, the bones were like mountains, and the lonely grave stood alone. ”
"The one who caused this evil is also the people of Loulan. Today, the general will build a high platform with the soil, and sacrifice the heroic soul with the blood of the executioner in front of the grave of the warrior who died in battle. ”
"Kill."
"Kill."
"Kill."
……
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the four thousand army roared desperately with anger.
"Kill."
Ying Fei's eyes narrowed, and her heart moved, and she said. The matter has come to this point, and the only way to stir up the fighting spirit with killing, awaken morale, and rebuild the soul of the army.
"Poof."
"Poof."
"Poof."
……
The knife fell, and one head after another fell. The smell of blood permeated the wilderness, lingering on isolated graves. Under the sun, the blood is strangely red.
Affected by the killing of prisoners, the expressions of the four thousand troops became resolute, and a bloody light in the depths of their eyes flashed away. On the altar, his face was solemn. What he didn't know was that today's killing of prisoners had awakened the thirst for killing in the bones of the soldiers.
After experiencing the bloody sacrifice of killing, in the future, he became a devil's army that terrified the enemy.
