Chapter 616 Advice

"We found out the location of Beirong!" Yan Laoer said so.

General Xue frowned, neither believing nor disbelieving.

Yan Yu knew that General Xue was not worried about this, but about his uncle's "hard job". They had to track down the escaped Beirong and find other scattered gathering places on the grassland.

Cut the grass and root it out!

Although Longxing and Fengming were also invaded by Beirong for many years, only Huju was killed by Beirong in the past ten years.

Huju and Beirong had a deep hatred and could not reconcile.

Beirong's fate was over, and the militia had done enough.

But her uncle always did things cautiously. If he didn't move, he would not move. If he moved, he would eliminate all evil.

The militia had seen blood several times, and their courage had been trained, but if they were to pick up a knife and kill women and children... I'm afraid they still couldn't do it.

The border soldiers didn't have these concerns.

They were used to life and death, and they understood the cruelty of war.

If weeds cannot be completely removed, they will grow again in the spring breeze!

This truth is known to all those who have guarded the border for many years.

If we want to restore peace to Guanzhou, we cannot be soft-hearted.

The eldest brother of the prince has power but no authority, and he cannot overpower General Wei who commands the three armies.

The latter strongly advocates to present the captives to the capital.

Sending the Beirong alive will naturally show his merits better than a head.

But from a practical point of view, the manpower, carriages, and food expenses of the escort along the way... just a simple calculation is a very large expense.

At present, Guanzhou, to say the least, is almost out of ammunition and food.

Doesn't General Wei know?

Yan Yu doesn't believe it.

This move is suspected of being too ambitious.

Once the Beirong captives are brought back, let alone the capital, as long as they enter the pass, even the King of England will have a hard time making decisions.

The Guanzhou border troops were executed before leaving the border. If they were to kill prisoners of war without authorization, then the prince's father would probably have to ask his son, "Do you want to rebel against your father?" !

The only one who can take action here is the Tiger Ju.

Who made the Northern Rong have such a big grudge against them? Some extreme behaviors are understandable.

They must be dealt with before the prisoners enter the border!

There is no one more suitable than General Xue to do this.

In the battle to break the city that day, the border troops suffered heavy losses. It is right to pay blood debts with blood, which is beyond reproach.

In addition, General Xue's identity is also the brother-in-law of the King of Ying and the elder of the prince's mother's family. With this relationship, if you want to punish him, you have to weigh it a little.

If General Xue happens to lead the Tiger Ju Border Army to make another military achievement, the merits and demerits will be offset, and there will be more room for maneuver.

The Northern Rong scattered on the grassland are the military merits that offset the demerits.

If it's still not enough, hehe, there are still Xirong to make up the numbers.

It's okay if we accidentally chased too far.

There are several key points in what my uncle asked my father to bring to General Xue.

Yan Yu was thinking about it, and General Xue had already read it out.

"Kill all the Beirong to quell the rebellion, rob their cattle and sheep, and save our Guanzhou people... military merit! After this battle, where can we get military merit?!"

General Xue's expression became more and more determined, and his eyes stared straight at the location of the Beirong barracks, shining with a thief's light.

...

On this day, the Guanzhou army won a great victory and captured many Beirong.

The army was not in a hurry to return to the pass. The various materials seized, especially the herds of cattle and sheep, made the poor soldiers red-eyed.

The prince ordered the army to rest for another two days.

The auxiliary soldiers killed cattle and sheep, and the three border troops cheered loudly.

In the main tent, Shi Yunyan was looking at the map with his hands behind his back, comparing it with the hand-painted map on the table from time to time.

"It's rare for a child of Xiaoer's age to be able to draw like this."

Wang Deshan glanced at the rough lines on the table map and thought that his grandson's skills were not limited to this. This was Xiaoer's uncle who was worried that her talent would be exposed and someone would miss her, so he asked her to draw it temporarily.

She was able to draw like this in a hurry, and it matched the landmarks on the map one by one, which showed how capable his grandson was!

It's really hard to hide the strength, but the other things can still be hidden.

"Calculate the time, they are probably going to enter the pass soon, right?" Shi Yunyan asked softly.

Wang Deshan also whispered: "We are taking so many northern barbarians on the road, and the people of Guanzhou who were rescued. Some of them are walking slowly. They are so pitiful. They are tortured to the point of not looking like human beings. Many of them have been suffering and finally waited for us to come and rescue people... They are so happy that they are crazy."

Raising his eyes quickly, he saw the bulging veins on the back of the prince's hands. Eunuch Wang quickly closed his eyes and said softly: "This is the closest to the Huju Pass. Lord Tian loves the people like his own children, and his subordinates are all capable. They will definitely settle the people well. I heard that Lord Tian has returned to Huju to make preparations in advance. Yan Hushu and a group of yamen The guards escorted the people into the pass, and the Huju frontier troops transported the northern Rong prisoners behind...”

Eunuch Wang paused and whispered, “General Wei is too cautious. What can a group of stray dogs do? I checked them one by one. The ropes that tied the people were very strong. They were still not at ease with General Xue in charge of the transportation, and they sent two more teams to follow them, saying that it was the merit of the three frontier troops. It was not enough for Huju to escort them, and Longxing and Fengming also had to send people. How can this be fair? If they are so particular, why didn’t they tell Huju’s people to take some of the slaughtered cattle and sheep away...”

“Prince!” Pengshu called softly outside the tent.

Wang Deshan stopped “chattering” and walked over quickly to lift the curtain.

Bangshu came in with a food box. After opening it, the aroma of meat filled the air.

Boiled beef and roasted lamb legs.

"Prince, that General Wei is so shameless. It's obvious that you pity the soldiers for their hard work in the cold winter, so you let them rest for two days and kill cattle and sheep to reward them. How come the guards beside him said that General Wei was worried about the soldiers and advised you?" Pengshu said indignantly.

He has been serving the prince since he was a child. He is loyal and naturally can't stand anyone plotting against his prince.

Wang Deshan secretly gave Pengshu a look of approval.

The boy said well.

He saw the prince frowning slightly, and while shaving the meat off the lamb leg with a knife, he said: "General Wei's move is a bit too much. Even if he wants to win people's hearts, this is not the way to do it. Prince, you are still here... Pengshu, you kid don't have a mouth? You should have refuted it on the spot!"

Pengshu murmured in silence.

He didn't refute because his family had no basis. It wasn't his own prince's idea to reward the soldiers. Someone did propose it to the prince, but it wasn't General Wei, but Yan Huaiwen, the household secretary of Huju.

Shi Yunyan pondered for a moment, pointed to the beef and mutton on the table, and said, "What is the truth? Just say it. Even if Yan Hushu doesn't like false reputation, he shouldn't let someone impersonate him and waste his kindness. Hold the book, and tell the soldiers that it was Yan Hushu of Huju who advised this prince, so he had meat to fill his stomach for the past two days."

This was yesterday's, and I rewrote it. It's much better~

There is another chapter for today, so you can read it tomorrow. It should be updated later~

What kind of feeling does Zhai want to write? It seems that the uncle didn't show up, but the shadow of the uncle is everywhere. It's a bit difficult. It's really a challenge to my writing skills. I really tried my best and couldn't write better.
