Chapter 384 You are really cool soldiers
"Your Majesty."
A rebel general knelt down on the ground trembling.
"We were careless for a moment and were captured by the Shunyi Army, no, the rebels. In order to come back to see you, we have gone through countless hardships and dangers before we can appear in front of you."
Hearing the words of the rebel, the emperor who was sitting on the throne raised his eyelids.
"Oh~"
"Goed through countless hardships and dangers?"
"The clothes you are wearing don't look like you have gone through countless hardships and dangers to put them on."
Not only are they wearing brand new armor, they are also plump, and it seems that they have lived a good life.
"Your Majesty, we have to live in a tiled house. This is a necessary measure we have to take in order to come back to see you."
Several rebel generals knelt on the ground, trembling.
After spending so much time with the Shunyi Army, they had forgotten that the superiors were always decisive in killing, especially their emperor.
"Enough, you are so useless."
His Majesty looked at them with disdain, waved his hand, and ordered them to stand up.
"Stand up."
"You are the first batch of soldiers to come back alive. Why don't you tell me what these rebels are like? Why can they take over so much land in Dayun?"
After hearing His Majesty's words, a brave general immediately said.
"Your Majesty, the Shunyi Army is very strange. They don't know where they got the help from, but they were able to get a lot of food for them. Those fools are like mothers who feed them. As soon as they see food, they surrender one after another, and even help the rebels to deal with our Dayun soldiers."
"Oh~ So that's it."
Your Majesty touched the dragon chair under him: "Is it that simple?"
"The soldiers that my Dayun has worked so hard to train were so easily defeated by a group of ordinary people who have never even been on the battlefield?"
Of course not.
In addition to being able to provide food, the Shunyi Army also launched a series of new policies to make the people healthy and prosperous.
These new policies are absolutely not available in Dayun.
The officer just reminded them that since they were back in Dayun, they should speak for Dayun and stop praising the Shunyi Army. Only by trampling the Shunyi Army under the ground can His Majesty be happy.
"Our soldiers are naturally powerful, but many of those civilians are their families. They have concerns in their hearts, so they naturally have to stand by their families." "
And Your Majesty also knows that our Dayun soldiers are the most loyal. The rebels are very cunning. They first captured and killed our generals, and then used the military tokens to control those soldiers. Those soldiers obeyed obediently when they saw the military tokens."
"In fact, the Shunyi Army is not very capable."
Several of them said one by one, disparaging the Shunyi Army.
His Majesty, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened and moved.
"In that case, I would like to ask you, who is more powerful, me or the leader of the Shunyi Army?"
"Of course it is Your Majesty. The leader of the Shunyi Army is just a country bumpkin. Although he has read some books, he is only a scholar and he couldn't even pass the exam to become a judge."
"If it weren't for his temporary luck and the help of Tang Shi, how could he have defeated our Dayun?"
"Hahaha, that's absolutely true!" The man sitting on the dragon chair laughed.
"How could I, Dayun, be beaten like this by a group of rebels who came from nowhere? It must be because of luck."
"It's just some food, but it can cause these people to lose their backbone one by one. I don't care about such people. When I recover the lost land, I will definitely chop these soft bones with my own hands."
The rebel general who was clamoring to go to the toilet outside the palace was shaking violently.
The people don't want much, just to have enough food and warm clothes. In order to have enough food and warm clothes, they are willing to sell their lives.
What's more, the Shunyi Army is so kind.
It's understandable that the people are willing to be loyal.
But it would be too cruel to slaughter these people like livestock.
Cruel...
Wait, seriously, they also betrayed His Majesty.
Your Majesty is not willing to let go even the common people.
What about these rebel generals who ran back from Dashun, then Your Majesty...
He suddenly woke up and looked up at His Majesty.
His Majesty smiled with a somewhat evil look on his face.
"A bunch of trash!"
"You just say these nonsense to fool me!"
How can you describe it with the word luck after destroying half of his territory!
If he has to move the capital and flee just by luck, then his Dayun soldiers are either a bunch of good-for-nothings or good-for-nothings! Good-for-nothings!
"Come on, suppress them for me, tell me the news of the rebels and their deployment, and then send them on their way."
"Your Majesty——"
"Your Majesty——"
Hearing that His Majesty was going to send them on their way, they all panicked and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, we came back on purpose."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to us."
"Your Majesty, we are loyal to you."
"You should die on the battlefield, rather than surrender and lose face for Dayun!"
The man on the dragon chair stood up suddenly, picked up the inkstone beside him and smashed it.
"Why don't you die, why don't you die!"
These rebels were still holding on to some hope and begging for mercy, but they stopped abruptly after hearing the curse from His Majesty.
They almost forgot that for a king, it was a shame to be captured and surrendered no matter what their purpose was.
They slumped their shoulders and their eyes were full of despair.
"If we had known this, we should not have left Dashun."
In Dashun, they were still admired generals.
Even if something really happened to the eldest son, the emperor of Dashun would not torture them on purpose, at least he could give them a quick death.
But now, no matter how upset they were, it was too late.
What awaited them was cruel punishment.
In order to leave quickly, they confessed almost everything they could.
...
When Gan Huaizhong and his men returned from the mountain stronghold, most of the soldiers in the camp had been gone.
Some of them saw that they were no longer restrained by their generals, so they ran away to play. Some of them saw that their generals
had run away, so they also ran away secretly.
Of the one thousand soldiers, only two or three hundred were left.
Gan Huaizhong smiled.
"Very good, very good indeed."
"You are really too carefree as soldiers."
With a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, they did not do their job properly, but instead treated the barracks as a place to raise their masters.
"You have only completed two of the tasks assigned by father, and there is still one that has not been completed. Have you forgotten it?"
The centurion who led the way before glanced at Gan Huaizhong secretly, then curled his lips.
"Young Master, if you had not been so slow to come down the mountain, the soldiers would not have left."
"Most of them thought something had happened to you, and they left because they were afraid of being punished."
