Chapter 665: Haoyue Fuqin

The army remained in place for a whole day, and did not set out again until the next morning.

This time, the speed of the army's march was greatly reduced, after all, there were still 60,000 prisoners of war to drag down, and there was really no way to get up quickly.

Yes, after a day of coercion and inducement, the number of prisoners of war dropped directly from more than 110,000 to 60,000, and another 50,000 high-ranking prisoners of war succeeded anyway.

This figure greatly exceeded Shang Ji's expectations, and Shang Ji originally thought that it would be good to be able to collect 20,000 yuan, but in the end, the number was more than twice as much as his psychological expectation anyway.

The reason for this is that Shang Ji still underestimated Liu Meng's status as the inheritor of the Heavenly Wolf God in the hearts of the Xianbei people.

Of the 250,000 apologetic troops, 50,000 were wolf cavalry sent by Kebineng, and this part killed more than 20,000 people in the battle last night, and the rest all chose to return to righteousness after Liu Meng came forward!

Moreover, their loyalty and morale after their conversion were quite high, which was slightly worse than the army that used the Golden Condor to surrender.

Unlike the wolf cavalry, the effect of the cathar army is not so obvious, but more than 20,000 people have also chosen to return to righteousness. It's just that their military morale is obviously not comparable to that of the wolf cavalry.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of money in the hands of the merchants, and a large bounty was smashed, and the 50,000 newly attached troops could be regarded as worthy of a war.

Of course, this price is huge, it cost three million gold, and according to the cost of training troops in Pingzhou, three million gold is enough to build an army with 70,000 stronger combat power from scratch.

From a purely economic point of view, this is a loss-making business.

However, many times the accounts are not calculated like this, and there is nowhere to throw money if many people want to, after all, capturing more than 100,000 high-level prisoners of war at a time is tantamount to fantasy for other players.

What's more, the additional effect brought about by the naturalization of these 50,000 high-level prisoners of war is definitely not something that can be measured by just three million gold.

After this battle, the total strength of the Pingzhou Army Expeditionary Group increased instead of decreasing, reaching more than 250,000. In addition, there are 60,000 prisoners of war accompanying the army, and the work of collecting and surrendering these prisoners of war is currently being intensified, and it is expected that they will be able to absorb all of them before the Pingzhou army returns to Xianbei in the east.

Once this task is fully completed, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group's total strength and comprehensive combat strength will exceed the period of the expedition. The return of such a high-ranking army of up to 300,000 is enough to change the situation of the war.

After a night of repair, the Pingzhou Army set out on the road again with high morale.

The state of the army has recovered significantly, and repairing for a day is only one of the reasons, and the real credit goes to Haoyue.

Time back to last night, Shang Ji had just finished reading the progress report of the surrender and was ready to rest. But I heard Guo Biao's report that Haoyue was visiting.

For Haoyue, Shang Ji has always been very respectful.

These respects come from many sources, starting with her possible identity. Although Shang Ji himself did not approve of this method of harmony, Zhaojun's exit from the fortress did lay the foundation for the complete pacification of the Xiongnu, and the Southern Xiongnu honestly surrendered for decades without rebellion. If it weren't for Wang Mang's fooling around in the end, it is estimated that this time could be extended a lot.

For this strange woman who has left a name in history, Shang Ji must maintain the most basic respect.

Secondly, it is Haoyue's unfathomable strength. Although Tai Shi Ci may have been paralyzed and careless at the beginning, he was also a top general, so that Tai Shi Ci was subdued almost without resistance, and Haoyue's own strength should be at the level of the Liu family, and it was even more unpredictable.

For the strong, maintaining respect is basic etiquette.

Finally, and the most important point is the artifact of the Golden Condor given by Haoyue, if it weren't for the Golden Condor, Shang Ji's battles would not have been so easy, and it would not have been possible to have the good situation today.

"Miss Haoyue is here, please sit down! The war is urgent, and I haven't come to visit the girl yet, so I ask the girl for forgiveness! ”

As soon as he saw Haoyue come in, Shang Ji greeted him warmly.

Haoyue still looked like she was holding the pipa in her arms and her face was covered with a thin veil, and she bowed slightly and said: "The general's words are serious, thanks to the general's acceptance, the concubine will not be homeless, it's too late to be grateful, why blame?" ”

Shang Ji smiled, motioned for Haoyue to sit down, and then went straight to the point: "Miss Haoyue, she will be a rough person, and she also likes to go straight, if the girl has anything important to do this time, she may as well say it directly, and she will listen to her!" ”

"The general is quick to talk, and the concubine is admired." Haoyue nodded slightly, and then continued: "The general wiped out 200,000 troops in one battle, and he admires such a feat, so I congratulate the general!" ”

"The girl has won the award, such a miraculous feat, relying on the mandate of heaven, relying on the soldiers' lives, how can the general be virtuous, and dare not live in this miraculous feat." Shang Ji waved his hand and said humbly.

"The army wiped out the enemy in one battle, and the results were brilliant, but since ancient times, there has been a saying that 10,000 enemies were injured and 8,000 were lost. Although the generals fought bravely, there were few casualties. However, the concubine watched that the sergeants under the general's command were all exhausted, and it may be difficult to continue another big war. ”

Hearing this, Shang Ji immediately sat up straight, and his face became serious.

Since more than a month ago, the Pingzhou army has hardly really repaired, running 20,000 miles long distances, and then fighting non-stop. Even though the Pingzhou Army is well-trained and has high morale, it has been in such a high-intensity war environment for a long time, and now its condition has dropped significantly.

As the commander of the army, Shang Ji was naturally well aware of this situation. However, he had little effective response.

According to the setting of the beacon fire, marching outside will slowly reduce the morale of the army. Abundant grain and grass, high-grade tents, etc., can slow down this decline, but they will not change the trend.

There are only two conventional ways to truly restore the army. One is to lead the army back to the city and repair it in a special barracks. This approach allows for a quick recovery, but it is clearly impractical at the moment.

Another way is to build large, semi-permanent camps. This kind of camp generally appears in the case of confrontation between the two armies, and the camp can also be slowly restored.

At present, the main army led by Zhang He has established this kind of large camp, and is currently confronting each other with Kebineng.

However, the construction of this kind of camp is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is also not suitable for the high-speed mobile combat army of Shangji.

Therefore, Shang Ji could only choose to ignore this point for the time being, fortunately, there were no Xianbei troops within a radius of 10,000 li that could threaten the survival of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force, and the state of the army almost did not have much impact.

But listening to what Haoyue said, it seems that she has the ability to change this situation?

"Why did the girl teach me? Please also ask the girl to give me advice! Shang Ji got up, bowed down, and asked respectfully.

Haoyue didn't move at all, calmly accepted Shang Ji's salute, and then asked, "Does the general remember the sound sleep half a month ago?" ”

"A deep sleep half a month ago? Sure enough, it's the girl's handiwork! ”

After dealing with Tai Shici half a year ago, Shang Ji went back to the house to take a nap, but he fell asleep on the chair, and he slept for two hours, which was completely unbelievable for Shang Ji.

At that time, Shang Ji suspected that Haoyue was the reason, but because there was no evidence, and he was in surprisingly good spirits after waking up, Shang Ji temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Now that Haoyue mentions it, it can be determined that the original sleep was indeed the reason for Haoyue.

"When the concubine saw that the general was depressed, she made her own decisions and asked the general to surrender!"

Haoyue bowed her head slightly and said slightly apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, the girl is kind, and I have to thank the girl!"

Shang Ji hurriedly said that it didn't matter, just with that golden eagle, Shang Ji couldn't be held accountable. Don't say that people have good intentions, even pranks have to endure.

Isn't it just a sleep, even if you are asleep, you have to endure it!

"The general is magnanimous, Haoyue remembers it. The general also knows that the concubine has a little rhythm of sound. The concubine body can use mana to move the luclumpy, increasing the range by reducing the effect. If there is a general to cooperate, it can basically cover the whole army. ”

"Sleepover? Covering the whole army? ”

Shang Ji suddenly gasped when he heard this, the power of the lullaby Shang Ji had seen it with his own eyes, and Tai Shi Ci was all on the road. One hundred of the most elite Sun Riders had absolutely no resistance in the Sleepover.

This kind of song covers the whole army, this ability seems to be a bit too buggy!

Seeing Shang Ji's shocked look, Haoyue knew that he had misunderstood, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, explaining: "The general misunderstood, the power of the lullaby is related to the scope of action, if you want to cover the whole army, the final effect of the lullaby will be similar to what the general encountered that day, and it is impossible to force it to sleep if I have no intention of resting." ”

"General! Checkmate!!! ”

After Haoyue finished speaking, she saw Shang Ji looking at herself blankly, with a look like a pig brother, Haoyue seemed to suddenly realize something, and hurriedly recovered her cold expression, and at the same time, the temperature in the big tent also dropped sharply.

Stimulated by the cold, Shang Ji suddenly sobered up, looked at Haoyue with some horror, and hurriedly silently moved the dragon and tiger roar, and kept his mind.

At the moment when Haoyue smiled, Shang Ji felt that the whole world was beginning to melt, and his spirit was in a trance, and his mind immediately lost his mind.

This situation simply frightened Shang Ji, although he admitted that Haoyue was indeed beautiful, but he was definitely not the kind of person who was obsessed with beauty. The mental trance just now is definitely not just because of her appearance, no one's appearance can have such a terrifying charm, even if she is one of the four beauties in China!

This should be a kind of spiritual charm, but Shang Ji's non-invasion and evil-destroying characteristics have not worked at all, and according to Haoyue's performance, this situation should not be caused by her subjective will.

This is very scary, just a subconscious smile, which can directly make a military general of Shang Ji's level lose his mind. If she had bad intentions, it was estimated that Shang Ji would have gone to Xiangping Yanhuang Temple to resurrect at this time!

In addition, although Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Xi Shi, and Yang Yuhuan are known as the four beauties of Chinese history, the background of the Beacon Huaxia District is the Three Kingdoms period, and Diao Chan is the No1 historical beauty.

But thinking about it this way, Lu Bu directly betrayed Dong Zhuo for Diao Chan, so it made sense.

This also reminded Shang Ji that since he first met Zhen Ji, who was still in the state of little Lori, Shang Ji had no interest in the rumored historical beauty. Now that she has come to her senses, Zhen Ji must have been too young to show her uniqueness, otherwise even if it is not as good as Liu's and Haoyue's, her role should be stronger than that of ordinary S-level historical generals.

After all, there are hundreds of S-level historical generals in the entire Huaxia District, but Zhen Ji's historical beauty can be counted on both hands.

"It seems that I will pay more attention to the news of historical beauties in the future!" Shang Ji said with emotion in his heart.

Although he thought so in his heart, he had a calm look on his face, and said, "If you are rude, please don't blame the girl." ”

After being the lord of power for such a long time, Shang Ji has also developed his cheekiness and can face this embarrassing situation calmly.

Haoyue didn't say anything, but nodded.

Shang Ji cleared his throat, skimmed over the little embarrassment just now, and continued to ask: "Miss Haoyue said that the lullina enveloped the whole army, and then Ben will cooperate with it to quickly recover the state of a soldier?" ”

"However, this is exactly what the concubine body means."

"How far will it go?"

"It's hard to say whether the concubine can recover to the best state, but it can also recover eighty percent of the state at the least."

"Eighty?"

"Why didn't the girl say it earlier!" Shang Ji almost blurted out the accusatory words, but fortunately swallowed them back at the last moment.

If it was before yesterday, even if Haoyue took the initiative to mention it, Shang Ji would not dare to agree easily.

Before yesterday, the threat of the cathar army was unresolved, and there were still a large number of Xianbei tribal troops behind him, Shang Ji didn't dare to let Haoyue send the whole army to a state of sleep.

In case Haoyue had bad intentions and the 200,000 army was raided by the enemy in his sleep, then the fate of the Pingzhou army would not be much better than that of the Guardian Corps.

It is estimated that Haoyue is also very aware of Shang Ji's concerns, so she came to the door at this time. The Guardian Corps was wiped out, the coalition army was ravaged by the plague, and the surrounding tribal coalition forces were unable to hide from the Pingzhou army. Although the Pingzhou Army is still in the hinterland of Xianbei, it is strangely in a very safe environment.

"The girl has a heart." Shang Ji arched his hand to show his gratitude, and then continued: "How does the girl need to cooperate?" Please speak up. ”

"There is no need to go through too much trouble, the general just needs to order the army to camp as closely as possible and rest normally. After nightfall, the concubine will play the piano in the middle of the camp, and if it is not expected, tomorrow the general will see a new army. ”

"Okay, there is Miss Lao, and the representative of the 300,000 soldiers thanked the girl for her great kindness."

Haoyue nodded slightly, then got up and said, "The general is busy with military affairs, so the concubine will not bother too much." When the general is ready, just inform the concubine. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Shang Ji to react, and turned around and left.

Shang Ji hurriedly took two steps forward and personally sent it back to his tent to show his sincerity.

After sending Haoyue away, Shang Ji immediately summoned the senior generals of the generals and began to make preparations.

Although Haoyue is simple, it is not convenient in the process of operation. The army is more densely encamped, which involves defense, vigilance, duty and other aspects, and it is not possible for a single general to complete the scheduling.

In addition, although there is no Xianbei army around that can threaten the Pingzhou army at present, the necessary defense is by no means indispensable. Shang Ji also had to send a part of the army to the surrounding area to carry out guard duties.

The sky gradually darkened, and the camp adjustment of the Pingzhou Army was basically completed. The 10,000 Bloodthirsty Tigers, who had the fewest combat missions and were currently in the best condition, were dispatched to conduct all-round vigilance for the surrounding five hundred miles.

As the night grew darker, Shang Ji personally went to invite Haoyue, and after a while, the melodious sound of the pipa wafted through the camp. After a short time, snoring erupted in the camp, and the whole army fell into a state of deep sleep.
