Early next morning.

It's broad daylight.

Yesterday's heavy rain has also stopped, and the earth is wet. After a night of rain, the earth is muddy, but the ravaged grass is sucking the blood and dewdrops and growing vigorously.

war...

For humans, it is devastation, but for these grasses, is it not an opportunity?

As for the trees...

That is also devastation.

Around the Huaihe River, trees have been cut down because of the war.

Whether you are setting up camp or attacking or defending a city, trees must be cut down.

The trunk trees that were set up on the north side of the Huaihe River were probably transported from Ruyin.

"Commander, it's all settled."

Zhang Jing, the meritorious officer, and Gou Yuan, the chief clerk, came over with dark circles in their eyes.

Since the victory last night, the two of them had not closed their eyes all night long, counting the baggage, food and grass, weapons and armor, and the number of prisoners.

Of course, the prisoners were simply men, women, old and young. As for the complicated matters such as age and place of origin, we had to arrange them after we returned to Huainan.

"good."

Zhao Xun looked at the thick book in his hand. The dense records inside were all the gains from last night.

"There are 100,000 cups of food stored in this camp, and even more beans and grass. It seems that this Shi Sheng originally wanted to confront me in this camp for a long time."

Zhang Jing, the meritorious officer, smiled and said: "Fortunately, it rained heavily yesterday, otherwise the bandits would have burned the food and grass when they left, and they would not have given us the advantage in vain."

Zhao Xun snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, it's just a little baggage. If it hadn't rained last night, I could have used rockets to add thunder to the sky, so that the men wouldn't be hurt like this."

Zhang Jing whispered from behind: "The commander only suffered 500 casualties last night, but there were 6,000 prisoners, and countless baggage. We made a lot of money last night."

"Alas~"

Zhao Xun sighed softly. He kept flipping through the books in his hand and asked, "Are there any Han slaves in the camp?"

The chief secretary, Gou Yuan, looked gloomy, nodded slightly, and said: "There are more than a hundred Han women in the camp, and they have all been raped by the fierce Jie. In the main tent of the rebel army, they also found roasted..."

After saying this, even Gou Yuan stopped talking.

Zhao Xun's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Such beasts are not worthy of being called human beings. How can they be captured by the evil zodiac animals?"

Meritorious officer Zhang Jing nodded slightly.

"There are more than three hundred Jiehu prisoners, and they have all been imprisoned."

"Commander, are you going to use these three hundred people to sacrifice the blood of the fallen soldiers and innocent people?"

"Blood sacrifice?"

Zhao Xun shook his head gently.

"I'm not that cruel. I'll throw them into the mine first and mine them for three years. If they're still alive, I'll kill them later."

Meritorious officer Zhang Jing and Chief Secretary Gou Yuan looked at each other and both shook their heads. They both knew the situation in the mine well.

If an ordinary person can live there for three months, his life will be long. Three years?

It would be better to just die.

"Those hundred-year-old women, let's teach them first. There are many single men in the army. You can handle the specific matters."

"promise."

Zhang Jing, the meritorious officer, and Gou Yuan, the chief clerk, both had experience in handling this kind of matter, and they immediately nodded in agreement.

"Now that everything is done, let's transport all the people and luggage back."

"promise!"

The meritorious officer Zhang Jing and the chief clerk Gou Yuan turned around one after another. They may not have any time to rest in the past few days.

"Where did Gongsun Xiu go?"

I've been chasing you all night and you haven't come back yet?

This place is enemy territory!

Zhao Xun shook his head gently and no longer cared about it. Gongsun Xiu was famous for his provocative battles, but he suffered very little damage. He was a wolf, a very cunning wolf. As long as the benefits were big enough, he would bite him mercilessly.

Go up.

Two days in a row.

There were constant boats on the Huai River, and the civilian husbands of Huainan and the prisoners of the Han army who had been hurriedly reorganized and trained all joined the team transporting baggage and grain.

But even so, due to the shortage of boats, it took two days to transport all the luggage.

At this time, the wind and dust were rolling in the distance, and Gongsun Xiu, with a tired face, ran back with dirty blood all over his body.

However, although Gongsun Xiu was tired, the smile on his face was exceptionally bright.

"Beheaded one thousand one hundred and thirty-one times, and collected a medium-sized fish."

Gongsun Xiu threw down the head hanging from the horse's waist, and the head rolled down. He was lifting it with his eyes wide open and a look of fear on his face.

"He's a Jiehu nobleman. It's a pity that Shi Sheng's big fish escaped. I've been searching for two days, but no trace of him has been found."

Gongsun Xiu's tone was quite unwilling.

"Beheading one thousand one hundred people, plus three hundred prisoners, that boy Shi Sheng can be said to have been seriously injured. Today is just a prelude. Now Huaibei is empty. I have long wanted to remove the five dock walls in the north. I will have something to do in the future.

Dry."

Zhao Xun was still very satisfied with Gongsun Xiu.

"There's a banquet in Shouchun City tonight, but if you drink too much, you kid, I'm afraid you'll spoil it!"

Zhao Xun personally helped Gongsun Xiu off his horse and patted his arm hard.

"Hey, I've wanted to drink Beauty Drunk for a long time, but it's too expensive. One jar of wine costs a piece of Sichuan brocade. Even if I kill people, I won't be able to drink a few jars."

"You guy!"

Zhao Xun didn't see Gongsun Xiu winking.

"I have prepared twenty altars of beauties to keep you drunk."

"Thank you, Marshal!"

Gongsun Xiu turned around to support Zhao Xun, and rubbed Zhao Xun's shoulders and back from behind.

"It would be better if there were fifty more altars."

"Isn't it money to be a handsome man?"

Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gongsun Xiu.

"Twenty more jars." Gongsun Xiu bargained.

"Only ten more altars, no more."

"The handsome man is wise and mighty!"

Gongsun Xiu pushed Zhao Xun away and ran forward laughing.

"This is a killer."

Zhao Xun shook his head angrily and immediately boarded the three-story stern ship.

He turned his head and looked at the place where he had fought hard in the past few days, with far-reaching eyes.

Huaibei~

Soon.

I will set foot on this land again soon.

By then, I will stay here and let this land bear the surname Zhao!

....

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Xun got up in a daze. There was no maid to serve him, so he got up straight away with clean face.

"Those people really don't want their lives."

Who can drink wine better than those who drink wine as water?

Zhao Xun shook his head as if it were filled with lead. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a hurried figure running towards him.

"Commander, Commander, great news, good news!"

"Stop, stop, stop~"

Zhao Xun stopped the person in front of him.
