Half an hour ago.
The hall of government office.
Gu Zhenbei laughed loudly and strode into the hall of the government office.
He stopped in front of Xiao Jingzhou and saluted.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Red North Army has forced our soldiers to abandon their armor and flee in panic!
During this trip out of the city, 10,000 horses were seized.
Weapons, tents and other supplies have been handed over to Lord Wei for counting.
The Chibei Army captured 10,000 prisoners and sent them to the military prison. ”
Xiao Jingzhou raised his hand: "Uncle, thank you for your hard work. Please take a seat!"
When Yang Jin saw the soldiers carrying the speakers out of the city, even the dumbest person could guess the trick.
...
...
He leaned over curiously and asked in a low voice: "General Gu, how did you think of convincing Hu Riwei?"
Gu Zhenbei said mysteriously: "This is all thanks to your highness, who has foreseen the situation and calculated that the Red North Army's morale is low, which allowed our army to have a smooth journey!"
Xiao Jingzhou sat in the first seat and asked calmly, "Has the body outside the city been found?"
He shot an arrow last night but failed to kill Hu Riwei. However, because he killed a general, the Chibei Army was able to withdraw quickly.
If we don't find out the identity of this person, there will probably be more trouble in the future.
Gu Zhenbei clapped his hands, and two soldiers carried a corpse into the government office.
The soldier lifted the white cloth stained with blood.
A headless corpse suddenly appeared before everyone.
Gu Zhenbei stood up and said, "When I found this man, he already looked like this.
Last night, Hu Riwei led his troops to retreat in a hurry, and it took three slashes with the knife to cut off the head.
The person who can make the Chibei Army behave so abnormally must be someone very important! ”
Yang Jin went forward and looked through the body, hoping to find any clues.
Not long after, he found a shiny ring on the headless corpse.
There is a rough dragon carved on it.
"What is this word?"
Lu Chen took the ring, washed it, and presented it to Xiao Jingzhou with both hands.
Xiao Jingzhou stroked his ring and whispered, "Kotal."
The Kotal department!
This is the most powerful tribe in Chibei!
The eyes of everyone present were filled with shock.
Yang Jin said: "I have dealt with Chibei the most. Anyone who can hold the Kotar token must be a member of the royal family!"
Gu Zhenbei speculated: "Could it be that this headless corpse is from the royal family of Chibei?"
Xiao Jingzhou straightened his lips and said, "The Kotar tribe has had three generations of queens.
This should be Xue Ji’s son, the second prince Tartu. ”
Xue Ji's name is well-known across the grassland.
She was married to two Kings of Chibei before she was able to give birth to the second prince.
Xue Ji was dissatisfied with the current King of Chibei and tried to assassinate him but failed. As a result, she had both legs broken and was trapped in the king's tent forever, unable to leave the bed.
Yang Jin said: “Xue Ji is crazy, and now her son died under the Dajing arrow.
I'm afraid that from now on, there will be no peace in Zhiyi City. ”
No one expected that Hu Riwei would dare to use Prince Chibei's life as a shield for him.
Gu Zhenbei sighed: "It would be great if we could catch him alive.
As long as Xue Ji is still alive, we don't have to worry about the invasion of the Chibei Army by holding Tartu hostage. ”
Xiao Jingzhou said: "You dare to set foot on Dajing's land and want to divide and attack Dajing's territory.
Whether it is King Chibei or Princess Xue, they will be killed! ”
He stood up and said, "Hu Riwei will definitely exaggerate the situation in front of Xue Ji and dispatch more troops to make a comeback.
From now on, the patrol teams on the city walls must strengthen their precautions! ”
Everyone present said in unison: "Yes!"
After everyone left, Xiao Jingzhou returned to his study.
After he took off his armor, the first thing he did was to send a message to Jiang Zhenyu.
When Jiang Zhenyu heard about the thrilling scene last night, his sleepiness instantly disappeared.
She said, “Luckily you’re all fine, 20,000 troops against an army of 100,000.
Even if we occupy the high ground, it will be difficult to defend the city without sufficient men and horses. ”
Xiao Jingzhou said softly: "Uncle not only escorted 10,000 Chibei soldiers from the Chibei camp, but also more than a thousand female relatives."
Jiang Zhenyu was surprised: "Female relatives?"
In ancient times, unlike modern times, there were no female military doctors accompanying the army to fight in wars.
Xiao Jingzhou was afraid of scaring her, so he hesitated for a moment before finding a word that didn't sound so scary.
He said gently, "Rations."
Rations!
When Jiang Zhenyu heard these two words, he took a breath of cold air.
With this inhalation, the air rushed directly into her nasal cavity and throat, choking her and causing her to cough continuously.
Xiao Jingzhou heard the cough and was anxious: "Miss Jiang! How are you?"
"Cough, cough, cough," Jiang Zhenyu coughed out tears of rationality.
She stretched out her index finger to wipe it, took a breath and said, "I'm fine, I just choked."
Xiao Jingzhou suddenly felt relieved, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart: "It's all my fault for not thinking carefully and scaring the girl."
Jiang Zhenyu waved his hands hurriedly, and after a while he realized that Xiao Jingzhou couldn't see him.
She said: "How can I blame you? It's all because of this poor world."
Jiang Zhenyu was afraid that Xiao Jingzhou would not let go, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do with these female relatives?"
"What should we do with the remaining 10,000 prisoners in Chibei?"
Xiao Jingzhou was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Zhenyu muttered, "Ten thousand prisoners mean ten thousand mouths, and they are enemies who have attacked Zhiyi City.
Let me make it clear first, I can't just give food to people like this without any reservations. ”
Xiao Jingzhou chuckled: "Miss Jiang hates evil and is a person of true character."
He thought for a moment and said, "There are corpses everywhere outside Zhiyi City, and we need manpower to deal with the battlefield.
The 10,000 prisoners were put in chains and sent out of the city gates, and their charred bodies were transported to the incinerator.
So as to avoid leaving behind the germs the girl mentioned.
The people of Zhiyi City cannot withstand another plague. ”
“When the spring ploughing and sowing season comes next year, let them till the land and do the farming.
If they are repentant, it is not impossible for them to establish files and keep their household registration in Zhiyi City. ”
Jiang Zhenyu asked hurriedly: "What if they have other intentions?"
Xiao Jingzhou patiently explained: "If you have any other intentions, I'm afraid you won't survive this winter.
Xue Ji won't let us catch our breath for too long, as the Chibei captives will lead the charge for Zhiyi City. ”
Take the lead?
These three words were enough to make Jiang Zhenyu's scalp tingle. Anyone who has studied history knows clearly the cruelty of war.
Xiao Jingzhou pricked up his ears, but he didn't hear Jiang Zhenyu's voice for a long time.
He sighed deeply before saying, "War is cruel.
If you are kind to your enemies, the knife will be turned against your own people. ”
"Miss Jiang, please don't dislike Jingzhou because of this."
For some reason, Jiang Zhenyu heard a hint of grievance in the last sentence.
She said: "Xiao Jingzhou, I don't hate you.
On the contrary, I admire your choice.
You have already given the Chibei captives a chance, not abusing them, making them work normally and providing them with food.
I'm afraid even the Chibei Army cannot do this. ”
When Jiang Zhenyu thought about the headless corpse and found out that it was actually the second prince of Chibei, he felt very worried.
She asked: "What else can I do to help you now?"
Xiao Jingzhou said: "There is still one warehouse of fireworks left, and small-scale explosives such as torpedoes and rejuvenation of China have not been put to use yet."
Jiang Zhenyu chuckled: "Don't underestimate its small size, it's just as powerful as fireworks when it explodes."
"Let's talk about something fun!"
"Zhiyi City has won a great victory this time. It's a good time to boost morale."
"I'll go buy some food, you prepare a reward for the troops!"
