An hour later, there were bonfires standing everywhere, the camp was brightly lit, the guards were waiting in full formation, and the laws were strict.
Ye Qing stared into the distance, and across the deep rainy night, the flag of the Yu family army was no longer visible.
Ever since Yu Fan decisively left, he knew that the hatred was almost irresolvable. Although he had been prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful - Yu Fan was indeed his biggest enemy in Yingzhou.
"Governor? He is indeed an able minister and has the prestige of means. If he were in the system, let alone five years, ten or twenty years, he might not be able to challenge his position."
"But in troubled times, he still can't get on the stage, let alone his most important general in the future, Jiang Chen, is now working for me."
Ye Qing stopped thinking about it and watched the loot being counted.
There are actually quite a few gold mines in the North. Boxes were moved out and piled up like mountains, probably worth a lot of 150,000 taels of silver, and there were many precious products, including materials for monasticism.
The horses were allocated about one thousand, and Yu Fan probably got an extra ten percent, with one thousand and two
There are as many as fifteen thousand cattle and sheep
There is also a population of 3,000, and Yu Fan has few choices in this regard, because the Yu family has no shortage of people.
It was still about getting rich through war. During World War II, the material content that the Ye family lacked was completely made up for, leaving only humanities and traditions.
Zhang Fangbiao looked at it, licked his mouth, and was a little eager to try: "Do you want another one?"
Jiang Chen's expression changed and he glared at him: "Are you out of your mind, or are you really crazy?"
Jiang Chen was called a tiger and Zhang Fangbiao was called a wolf. They were both superior and inferior. This drink made him stand out. Zhang Fangbiao immediately became speechless. Strangely enough, he just obeyed this superior officer who was much younger than him.
After Jiang Chen scolded him like this, Ye Qing stopped scolding Zhang Fangbiao. However, he knew the law and did not need to worry about military and political power falling into the hands of others. He intended to let Jiang Chen establish prestige and smiled slightly: "We defeated two tribes in a row. Although
He suffered few casualties, but he was exhausted and at the end of his battle."
"If we fight again, blood will collapse. Even if we win, the casualties will suddenly double."
"We will immediately withdraw our troops from the Yu family, me, and maybe other families. If we do this, the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely react. The army will gather at this time, and it may be on the road now. If we don't leave, how long will it take?"
"There really is a company that is so greedy for profit that it leaves the market too late. Maybe it will spit out all the capital and profits."
The generals were suddenly stunned. Seeing Ye Qing's calmness, they all felt a little admired and went to continue counting.
Among the three thousand women and children, there are two thousand girls in Nancang County. It turns out that these two tribes also have infiltration in the mainland. In the past, they only made small profits, but this year they used insiders to rob and snatch their children, money and silk, and many families in the county suffered.
.
Jiang Chen told the time, stating the facts frankly, with anger hidden in his eyes.
"It's nothing more than luring the wolf into the house." Ye Qing shook his head. He estimated that the hidden clue might be the Yu family. The Yu family's counterattack was certainly an early stand before the war. It might also be the elimination of evidence of collusion with the grassland. He couldn't help but feel alarmed in his heart.
He also thought that his wine business was expanding too fast, and there would inevitably be some people who were greedy for profit. He went back and asked Zhou Feng to investigate and rectify it. Anyone who acted as a leader would be killed at other times, even if he was a member of the tribe.
After a while, Zhou Ling came over with a strange look on her face. She whispered in Ye Qing's ear: "There are a group of twenty noble daughters from the county's families. They were all neglected this year and were attacked and plundered. According to the guard's account,
, saying that he was trained well here and will be sent to the noble family above in two days..."
If there was no such thing, he couldn't remember it. But if there was such a thing, Ye Qing's expression changed. He recalled what he had heard in his previous life, that there seemed to be a group of women's marriages that played a role in connecting the Yu family to other families...could it be this group?
"Everything looks good, she's still...a virgin." Zhou Ling blushed slightly. These examinations are compulsory for public servants. There are special female servants who teach them and use them to deal with female prisoners: "Should we keep them or send them back?"
Ye Qing thought and shook his head: "Is the meat that I ate in my mouth still spit out? But I really don't want to add more people at will. It's a bit difficult to arrange... take it back first and then talk about it."
"Oh." Zhou Ling didn't quite understand what was going on, but he understood the order he brought back, so he ran down to convey the order.
Ye Qing rubbed his face, these girls would have a headache explaining to their wives and concubines... No matter what, they all returned home with a full load.
After counting, it was time to return. There were too many spoils this time, so we stopped picking and took them away directly with the army.
Even if the quality is a bit poor, the women of the Northern Wei Dynasty are famous for being hardworking and hardworking, and every family is willing to accept it. For these women in a bad situation, it is still a good home.
The most common caravan in this tribe was used. The soldiers were encouraged by the promise of victory and dividends. Under the supervision of the soldiers, the loading was quickly completed. Women, children, and the wounded were specially loaded into the car.
The rain was still falling, and the army meandered towards the Xiping Mountain Pass, which was hundreds of miles away. Scouts were sent out, and Ye Qing specially used Taoist talismans to detect and warn. If such a triumph was attacked, it would be extremely joyful but sad.
The entire team was in a state of tension on the outside and tight on the inside. Officers at all levels were patrolling up and down. Ye Qing was particularly concerned about the wounded battalion and would personally check on it from time to time.
The battles for several days were all raids with the blessing of time and Taoism. Especially when the first tribe obtained iron armor, there were very few direct deaths. The fifty injured were all saved by Taoism. As long as they were not inside
If the internal organs are seriously injured or an arm or a leg is severed, you can regain your fighting strength by going back for treatment and recuperation.
Originally, time would be tight on the grassland, and Ye Qing was prepared to be chased away in embarrassment, leaving behind some gold, silver and baggage trophies if he had no choice but to do so.
But the second battle went very smoothly, and it was a rainy day, so the retreat went very smoothly.
It can be said that these two battles have almost tripled the resources of the Ye family. No other county would have gained such a gain. Even if they fought hard, they would not have suffered such a small loss.
After entering the Xiping Mountain Pass, it was basically safe. The rain had eased a lot. The shadow of the dragon suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, but not all of it appeared. It circled faintly, and the troops were stunned when they saw it.
Ye Qing smiled and waved, and whispered a few words into his sleeves: "...You're welcome...for your hard work..."
After saying a few words, Zhou Ling looked curiously and then looked up again. The dragon shadow was no longer visible, but the army cheered one after another thinking it was God's blessing.
But soon, he met a general and passed his name. Ye Qing said: "Please come quickly."
As he said that, he saw a general walking in. This man Ye Qing knew in his previous life was named Li Shen. This Li Shen was only about twenty-five years old at this time. His eyes were bright and his eyebrows were raised straight, with a murderous look.
He strode in, glanced around, and saw Ye Qing.
Ye Qing bowed slightly. This man was a sixth-grade military general, and his rank was above Ye Qing. However, Ye Qing was the second-ranked general, so it was considered polite to do this.
Li Shen's face was expressionless: "Master Ye, I heard that you have captured a large number of war horses. I came here to collect them under the order of the Governor's Office. I am acting on orders. Please forgive me."
Ye Qing was startled, what are these words?
Yes, according to the rules, even though Ye Qing led his troops to conquer the area, the weapons and horses were military supplies and would be handed over to the government, but the court would compensate them. Why was it confiscated?
His expression remained unchanged and he asked gently: "Master Li, I don't understand. Whose order are you following?"
Li Shen said proudly: "It's the order from Governor Zhang."
The military structure of the Dacheng Dynasty was as follows: the state was governed by the governor, below was the military government, governed by the governor, and below that were the generals, guerrillas, and garrison commanders.
General Zhang's name was Zhang Cunshi, and he was in the fourth rank. He could be said to be the first person in the Yingzhou military under the governor.
However, Zhang Cunshi had heard in his previous life that he was not so arrogant, so what would be the benefit of offending him?
Thinking of Yu Fan, I realized that Yu Fan couldn't buy Zhang Cunshi, but it was still possible to convince him. He said calmly: "What price are you offering?"
Li Shen had an expressionless face and a business-like tone: "Master Ye, you didn't hear clearly. This is a collection from the Governor's Office, not a transaction with you. Please respect yourself."
Self-respect?
Ye Qing had never had anyone speak to him like this since he was ranked second in the rankings. He couldn't help but sneer. After patiently speaking a few words, he saw that this person was flawless.
Ye Qing's patience suddenly ran out, and he looked up with a gloomy face. The key was that this person now represented the Governor's Mansion. Even if Ye Qing knew that there was moisture, there was nothing he could do about it.
The first is to admit it, and then go back to file a lawsuit with Zhang Cunshi. Regarding Ye Qing's knowledge, Zhang Cunshi will come to comfort him personally and even secretly apologize. However, the meat swallowed by the military will never be recovered, or he will only give a token payment.
, and finally ended up with a glorious face.
If he resolutely refuses it, even if it is the military representative who is wrong, he will definitely offend Zhang Cunshi.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Ye Qing stared at this man and sneered: "Master Li has extraordinary courage, but you have failed in this matter, and I cannot give you this horse.
Li Shen's face changed drastically, and he stared at Ye Qing gloomily, holding the handle of the knife: "You dare to disobey me?"
"First, I am not a member of the military. I don't need to obey military orders. Second, even if I hand over the horses, the Governor's Mansion is not the only option. I can hand them over directly to the Governor's Mansion."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Master Li, please"
This was Ci Ke. Li Shen did not expect Ye Qing to be so tough and blatantly offend the military. His face turned livid with anger and murderous intentions arose. With a wave of his hand, the generals he led swarmed in.
"You want to take action?" Ye Qing's face was also livid: "I am the second-ranked official. You may not understand some of the permissions. You can go back and check. Mr. Li is in the sixth rank and should have the qualifications."
"Now, as long as one of your people dares to draw a sword, I will kill you all - you must think clearly, think clearly, and don't risk your wealth and life for a small profit."
Li Shen had a gloomy look on his face. He had not expected this situation. He was afraid that he had made a mistake this time. If he could take the horses back, even if he made a mistake, according to military logic, the merit would outweigh the fault. But if he goes back like this,
If I'm afraid of being scolded, it's an understatement.
Thinking about it, he suddenly saw Ye Qing's eyes narrowing, his dark gaze, and he immediately felt the murderous intent inside. His heart trembled, and then he realized that hundreds of people around him had quietly gathered around him, and there were only a dozen of him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shen finally did not dare to turn his face, waved his hand with a sullen face, and stepped out.
Ye Qing knew that for no apparent reason, he had gained another mortal enemy. He really admired Yu Fan's ability to turn everything around.
People like Li Shen would not hate Yu Fan, but they would hate Ye Qing.
Yu Fan was defeated by Jiang Chen many times in his previous life, but his strength was not greatly damaged. He continued to manipulate, unite and bribe all forces, and finally became stronger as he fought. This is his skill
In peacetime, people like Li Shen are very disgusting. They belong to the system and cannot kill them all. They do not think that they are wrong and cannot be framed. They hate them deeply, as if it is not the victim who has been wronged, but himself who has been greatly wronged.
Same, endless struggle.
However, in troubled times, there is no need for such trouble. When the time comes, all such people will be killed.
This is the difference between times of peace and times of war.
