Chapter 301 Untitled Draft
This time, not only did they capture more than 2,000 people, but they also got more than 1,000 war horses.
They had all kinds of weapons, including swords, guns, food and tents, but it was already a heavy blow to the vanguard army of just over 10,000 people.
Bao Beibei looked at Jiang Xinyu yawning and rubbed her head with a smile.
"After a busy night, you and the people from the East Factory can go back to the city to sleep. I'm here to meet my dear husband.
But your Marquis of Zhenguo probably has work to do, so he probably won't be able to sleep with you."
Jiang Xinyu looked at the surroundings and curled her lips in disdain, "I know you are in love, but you don't have to be so inseparable. You're just going on a date in any environment.
In my opinion, you should come back with me to catch up on your sleep.
A date should be held under the moonlight. I don’t think my cousin would have the time to hang out with you in a place full of dead bodies.”
"I just have time to spare."
Bao Beibei took a deep breath and said, "After every big battle, my kidneys rush. If Ah Huan wasn't busy, I would have wanted to have sex too."
Jiang Xinyu's sleepy brain took a while to reflect before she remembered that Wang Huan was Liu Xu's pseudonym.
Looking at Bao Beibei smiling with a wretched and helpless look on her face and shaking her head,
"I don't understand but I respect your blessing. I'll go back to the city to make up for it and you can continue playing.
Take it easy, my cousin has been fighting all night and his body is too fragile to withstand your torture."
After Jiang Xinyu teased Bao Beibei, she squeezed Xiao Yuan's hand again.
"Don't be too tired. Come back as soon as you finish arranging things."
Xiao Yuan nodded tenderly and ordered twelve guards to escort his wife back.
Bao Beibei waved her hands in disdain, and the smile on her face did not fade until Jiang Xinyu left.
"Xiao Yudian has returned. Let's go find Xu Zuyin and discuss how to deal with these captives."
Xiao Yuan's heart sank when he saw Bao Beibei's expression suddenly change.
"You deliberately sent Yu'er away
There's no need for that. It's not like she hasn't seen blood before."
Bao Beibei sneered, "I have known her longer than you, but just because you slept with her for two years doesn't mean you know her better than me.
My son Yudian’s way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people.
It was common for maids in ordinary families to be beaten to death and sold for stealing their masters' things.
But if Jiuyue, Xiaodie and the others stole Yudian's things, the most severe punishment this girl could give them would be to return their indentures and let them go.
Maybe you'll have to give them a few taels of silver to prevent them from starving to death.
It doesn't matter whether she's killed two or three digits of people.
She thought that she would not blink an eye at the damn knife.
For example, she could do anything to these dog soldiers, whether burying them alive or skinning them.
But I don't want to kill any prisoners, so she can't know what happens next for the time being.
This is the good thing about my Raindrops.
She would stop something she knew about in advance, but she would not complain if someone else did it without her knowing. "
Xiao Yuan became even more curious after hearing this, but he didn't ask any further questions and took Bao Beibei to find Xu Zuyin.
General Xu was watching people cleaning the battlefield at this time, and his beard was curled with joy. When he saw the two people coming together, he smiled heartily.
"This battle was very fruitful thanks to you two. Since there is nothing important to do now, why don't you take a rest?"
Bao Beibei waved her hands and said, "There's no rush to sleep. I finally managed to coax his wife away and I want to seize the time to do something bad."
Xiao Yuan coughed dryly and said, "General Xu, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Xu Zuyin looked at the two of them in confusion, with a question mark popping up in his mind. Why did these words sound so wrong to him?
There wouldn't be anything going on between the Regent King's stepsister and the Marquis of Zhenguo. No wonder Miss Bao didn't want the kitchen and always went to Xiao Yuan's place for free meals.
But, it doesn't seem right.
These past two days, it seems that Miss Bao has a good relationship with the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
Moreover, he just found out a few days ago that Wang Huan, whom Xiao Yuan recommended, was actually his wife's cousin.
It is said that he is currently having an affair with Miss Bao. It is impossible for this to be known among relatives...
As soon as Xiao Yuan saw Xu Zuyin's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood. He glared at Bao Beibei speechlessly and complained about his sister-in-law for talking nonsense.
"Why are you glaring at me? Don't think I won't hit you just because we're relatives."
Bao Beibei was not used to Xiao Yuan. When she saw him glaring at her, she immediately glared back.
"Before I got married, I was your sister-in-law and you are my brother-in-law.
When I get married, I will be your eldest cousin's wife and you will be my cousin's husband.
Relatives must also respect the order of seniority.
If you make me unhappy, believe it or not, I will snatch your wife away."
Xiao Yuan silently repeated three times that he would not argue with the weird plan and took a deep breath.
"I was wrong, let's get down to business!"
Xu Zuyin smiled awkwardly and tried his best to reduce his presence. He didn't quite understand the way these two people interacted with each other.
Is this appropriate or inappropriate?
In fact, it is hard to say whether they are compatible or not. They just unanimously dislike each other.
She is obviously a man, but she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion and always flirts with her wife. She is an annoying sister-in-law.
A cheap brother-in-law who is not sweet enough, not handsome enough, not old enough, and doesn't have a penis.
It's good enough that the two of them don't sabotage each other or say bad things about each other.
Bao Beibei refused to accept any humiliation, and only after seeing Xiao Yuan give in did she start talking about the serious matter she wanted to discuss.
The question is how to deal with the 2,000 captives of the Quanrong.
Xu Zuyin frowned when he heard this, "Medicines at the border are very expensive, so they cannot be given to prisoners.
Throw the lightly injured ones aside, those who are alive will be spared.
The seriously injured ones were simply repaired and dug into a deadly pit and thrown away.
Those who had basically nothing to do were the trouble. In the past, most of the captives were thrown into the mines as slaves to dig minerals and do hard labor.
It's difficult to handle with so many people this time.
When the imperial army withdraws, these people will be the only ones left at the border and they will not be able to look after so many slaves. If a riot breaks out, it will be more harm than good.
But if they were all killed..."
Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Killing prisoners is a double-edged sword.
Killing this man will indeed scare the Quanrong and make them dare not easily invade our Dajin.
But it will also arouse their determination to resist.
Since they will die if caught, the dog soldiers must fight with all their might.
The difficulty of future battles will increase linearly."
Xu Zuyin also nodded in agreement, "That's true, but apart from the seriously injured, there are still nearly 1,800 people. How should we accommodate them?
Giving them food is a waste of grain, and not giving them food will definitely cause trouble."
Bao Beibei showed a weird sneer on his face.
"Of course we can't kill him. It would be such a shame to kill someone we caught with great difficulty.
They are also the pillars of their families, with parents and wives and children. The Jin Dynasty, a country of etiquette, cannot learn from the barbarians like the Quanrong.
Buddha have mercy on us. It is a human life after all. I believe that King Quanrong is willing to spend money to redeem his soldiers.
Let's set a price!
How much does it cost if the patient is intact? How much does it cost if the patient has minor injuries? How much does it cost if the patient has serious injuries?
Don't rush to bury the dead. Ask them if they want the body and they will process it at half price.
Oh yes, single out those who have some official position or good family background.
A nobleman deserves a noble price.
The meals eaten during these days also have to be taken into account. A bowl of thin porridge for two people a day costs one hundred coins.
If there is no redemption for more than ten days, the amount will be doubled.”
Xu Zuyin laughed and clapped his hands, "Okay, this is a great idea.
If the Quanrong King does not redeem the captives' families, they will surely be filled with resentment.
Not only did he lose face in front of the six nations, but he also discouraged his own soldiers.
If we redeem it, not only will it cost a lot of money, but these people will be ridiculed by the Quanrong people when they return, and there will be disputes.”
Xiao Yuan looked at Bao Beibei in surprise, "Is it necessary to send my wife away for such a small matter?"
Just tell me, what else do you want to do?"
A cold light flashed in Bao Beibei's eyes, "A race that uses living people as military rations should not exist.
Regardless of whether the Quanrong King redeems people or not, these people must be released.
Only before they leave I want to give them...smallpox."
Xiao Yuan:
If anyone calls me a living scoundrel again, I will drag him to your side to let him learn some new lessons!
God, have mercy on me!
