The families left behind by the Qingzhou Army, totaling 100,000 people.

Except for those who were frozen and starved to death, the Qin army searched everywhere, and there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people gathered in one place.

Most of them were women and children, and some of them were half-old.

For the first few days, they were powerless to move, and someone had to take care of them.

Three or five days later, some of the women and half-grown children recovered a lot, and they also helped the Qin army to take care of the Qingzhou army's family members, who were even weaker due to cold and hunger.

The place where the families of the Qingzhou Army are located is located between Xuanyuan Pass and Songshan.

In the originally empty wilderness, it was as if there were many more camps overnight.

There were very few Qin troops stationed in the camp, but only three or four hundred people, and the entire camp was full of Qingzhou army families who had just received new clothes but still had yellow muscles.

Riding a war horse, Liu Wei led Deng Zhan, Zhao Yun and others, escorted by a team of palace guards and dragoons, to the camp where the families of the Qingzhou army were housed.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the camp, he saw some women and half-grown children running around in the village.

Several women were holding wooden basins in their hands, and the basins were full of bright red clothes, and it could be seen at a glance that those clothes belonged to the soldiers of the Qin army.

Seeing this scene, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and glanced at Wang Liu behind him.

Seeing his eyes, Wang Liu clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode his horse towards the women holding the wooden basin.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, several women hurriedly looked over to Wang Liu's side.

What they saw was not only a female general of the Qin army who was really riding a horse and rushing towards them, but not far behind the female general, there was also a group of people standing on the horse.

Although they didn't know the identities of these people, from the war horses they rode under their crotches and the clothes and armor on their bodies, the women could see that these people must be the nobles of Great Qin.

As soon as Wang Liu rode his horse and rushed to the women, they hurriedly put down the basin and knelt on the ground.

Carrying the reins, Wang Liu reined in the war horse and asked the women, "Sisters-in-law, whose clothes are you waiting to wash?" ”

Kneeling on the ground, Wang Liu asked, and one of the more daring women replied tremblingly, "What I am waiting to wash is the clothes of the father-in-law!" ”

"Eun Gong?" With a frown, Wang Liu asked her, "What kind of father?" ”

"The one who saves us is Engong!" Kneeling on the ground, the woman answered.

Looking down at the group of women kneeling in front of him, Wang Liu's brows furrowed slightly.

Just when she wanted to ask what was going on, a few Qin soldiers who were busy cooking food nearby quickly ran towards her.

Liu Wei, the king of Qin, often went to the barracks, and the soldiers were very familiar with him.

As Liu Wei's personal guards, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen will always accompany him to the military camp.

In the Great Qin army, there are not many people who don't recognize Wang Liu.

Running close to her, those Qin soldiers stopped and bowed to her in unison.

After bowing and saluting, several Qin soldiers did not raise their heads, and one of them said to Wang Liu: "General Wang, their bodies have just recovered, if there is a collision, please also ask the general to blame us for not being able to supervise well!" ”

When Wang Liu asked a few women, these Qin soldiers were still far away, so he didn't know that she was just asking the women who were washing their clothes.

What the soldiers of the Qin army said made Wang Liu instantly understand who the clothes in the woman's basin belonged to.

Pointing at the Qin soldiers with a horsewhip, Wang Liu asked, "Why do you want them to help with the laundry?" ”

When she suddenly asked, a few Qin soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they understood why she blocked the way of those women.

"I'll wait ......" looked up at Wang Liu, and several Qin soldiers showed a trace of panic on their faces, and the one who spoke before hurriedly spoke, wanting to explain.

"General Mingjian!" Without waiting for the soldiers of the Qin army to speak, a woman kneeling on the ground hurriedly raised her face and said, "It's me who is willing to do the laundry for Engong!" ”

I thought that it was the soldiers of the Qin army who coerced the women to do their laundry, but when she heard the woman say this, Wang Liu frowned even more.

Raising his hand and pointing at the Qin soldiers with his horsewhip, he glared at them fiercely, and Wang Liu turned his horse and ran towards Liu Wei.

The look in her eyes when she left really frightened those Qin soldiers.

Turning his head to look at the women kneeling on the side, several Qin Jun's faces showed panic.

If Wang Liu had gone mad on the spot and punished them, they would not have been so afraid.

But before she left, she just dropped an extremely playful look.

When talking to Wang Liu, several Qin soldiers had already seen Liu Wei and the others from a distance.

They also knew that Wang Liu would definitely go to ask Liu Wei for advice, and then punish them for their crimes.

King Qin has always been the most disgusted by bullying others and relying on the strong to bully the weak.

Although the women tried to wash their clothes, they also refused, but they could not resist the kindness of a few women, so they had to accept it.

But he didn't expect that at this juncture, he would meet King Qin and come to the camp in person.

Maintaining the posture of clenching their fists and bowing, several soldiers of the Qin army faced Liu Wei and the others from a distance, although they did not kneel, they were full of apprehension, and they didn't know how Liu Wei would punish them.

Riding his horse back to Liu Wei, Wang Liu clasped his fists and said to him: "Your Highness Qiqi, the last general has already found out that those women are volunteering to wash the clothes for the soldiers in the battalion, and the ones standing there are the soldiers whose clothes are handed over to them to wash!" ”

Glancing at the few soldiers who were standing a little farther away with their fists folded, Liu Wei looked at a few women kneeling on the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he shook off the reins, and said to the people who followed him: "Enter the camp with this king!" ”

He didn't say what to do with the soldiers, and the group of people behind him were all stunned, not knowing what his plans were for this.

"Your Highness!" As soon as he took two steps, Wang Liu whispered to Liu Wei again, "Those soldiers and women are still waiting." ”

"What the king asks of willingness, what does it do?" Turning his head to look at Wang Liu, Liu Wei said to her: "Tell them that if they want to disperse, they should do what they should do!" ”

"No!" Liu Wei's reaction was a little unexpected by Wang Liu, she was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded with her fists, turned around her war horse, and ran towards the Qin army and the woman kneeling on the ground who were standing a little farther away.

"Your Highness has an order!" When they arrived in front of the Qin soldiers and the women, Wang Liu shouted at the war horse.

I was worried in my heart, and suddenly heard her shout, several Qin soldiers hurriedly bowed lower, and one by one they were a little trembling.

The women who were kneeling on the ground, when they heard the words "His Highness has an order", the three souls were even more frightened, and they fell to the ground, trembling all over.

"Let you wait to disperse, and do what you should do!" With a wave of his hand at the Qin soldiers and women, Wang Liu turned his horse around, turned around and left.

When she turned her horse and left, several Qin soldiers and women raised their heads and looked at her back in amazement.

I thought that I would at least be condemned, but I didn't expect that King Qin had no intention of pursuing this matter at all.

It wasn't until Wang Liu returned to Liu Wei that these Qin soldiers and women still didn't come back to their senses.

Looking at the back of Liu Wei and the others leaving, a soldier of the Qin army swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Several women who were kneeling on the ground were also trembling with fright, and suddenly heard that Wang Liu wanted them to disperse, and they all raised their heads in astonishment and looked at the soldiers of the Qin army on the side.

The women didn't understand what was going on, but a few Qin soldiers knew, and it must have been Liu Wei who thought they were bullying the women in the camp, so he specially ordered Wang Liu to come and investigate.

If it weren't for the fact that the women had not volunteered to wash their clothes, I am afraid that this time they would have been punished very lightly.

Cold sweat was pouring on their foreheads, and one of them, Qin Jun, who had a faster reaction, strode over to a woman, picked up the wooden basin in front of her and left.

Seeing that the wooden basin was being picked up by him, the woman quickly stood up, stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the basin and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

"Your Highness thinks we're bullying you!" Grabbing half of the basin with the woman, the soldier of the Qin army said with fear: "If you hadn't waited for your own family to wait for me to wash clothes, I'm afraid that our brothers would have their heads fall to the ground today!" ”

Unexpectedly, just washing the clothes for Qin Jun, who saved their lives, almost caused a big disaster, and the woman was also taken aback.

However, she calmed down again, and said to Qin Jun, who was holding the same wooden basin with her: "If the king of Qin kills Engong because of the pulp laundry, the concubine will definitely not survive!" ”

"That's it! That's it! Although the woman said this, Qin Jun, who was holding the edge of the basin, still felt a chill on the back of his neck, and said to her: "I will wash my clothes at home!" ”

As he spoke, he snatched the basin from the woman's hand and walked out of the camp with it.

In the Songshan area, there are not many streams flowing under the mountain.

When it comes to marching to fight, when choosing a place to be stationed, the army will generally choose a place close to a water source.

This source of water is not near the riverbank, but in an area where there is a stream or mountain spring.

Backed by the riverbank, once the march is unfavorable, the army will have no way to retreat, and the mountain springs and streams, because the waterways are narrow and generally not knee-deep, have no effect on the army, so the place where there is such a water source is the best place for the army to camp for marching and fighting.

When marching, it is often difficult to choose a suitable location due to limited conditions.

But at present, this camp is to house the bereaved families of the Qingzhou Army found from all over the place, and the site selection has also been carefully investigated.

Not far from the camp, there is a clear stream.

The brook where the women went out of camp to wash their clothes.

Grabbing the tub from the woman's hand, the Qin soldiers walked towards the stream outside the camp without looking back.

Seeing him like this, the other Qin soldiers also hurried forward, snatched the wooden basin from the hands of the women with their own clothes, and walked briskly towards the outside of the camp.

Several women were robbed of the tubs, and they did not give up, but followed closely behind the Qin soldiers with their empty hands, left the camp, and went to the stream.
