"But everyone should think about why they are fighting. If it is to protect their own parents, wives and children, then there is no regret in dying. But if it is to kill other people's parents, wives and children, everyone should think about whether this war should be fought.
Shouldn't hit."
The prisoners were held in the martial arts arena, and Xu Shenji made an impassioned speech on the general stage.
"Everyone knows the rules of our Toad Village. If you want to go home, we will give you food and travel expenses. If you want to stay here and work, we will all be brothers from now on. Drink from a big bowl and eat meat from a big bowl."
"There are also brothers who used to stay here. Maybe you have known each other before. You can ask them how they are in our Toad Village. Have they ever starved them? Have they ever been sent to be cannon fodder during the war? Have you ever felt uncomfortable?
Charge, but let everyone die."
The army was defeated like a mountain. In addition to seizing a large amount of supplies, Cheng Dalei also captured more than 1,500 heavily armored soldiers and prisoners. These were strong men and if they could be used for his own purposes, they would be an important force on the battlefield.
Cheng Dalei wanted to stay, so he let Xu Shenji fool them, which of course could be said to be a way to influence them.
These people used to be Mo Mingmi's subordinates. To be honest, Mo Mingmi did a bit poorly when it came to being the boss. And the news about Toad Village's preferential treatment of prisoners has long been spread. When they saw that the situation was unfavorable this time, these people
Raise your hands and surrender, I have to say there is a reason for this.
"If you want to stay, you can register here. If you want to leave, of course you can, just leave your name."
"Are you really willing to let us go?" one prisoner asked boldly.
"Of course..." Xu Shenji paused for a moment: "It's just that after he left, he went to help Mo Mingmi fight. Next time we meet, we will not be brothers, but enemies."
These people began to register one after another. Some people left with travel expenses, and some chose to stay. In the end, of the 1,500 prisoners, about two-thirds, or about 1,000, were left.
Cheng Dalei was quite satisfied with this result, but these thousand people could not go to the battlefield for the time being. Cheng Dalei's method was to send them to Luoyuzhai and send Liu Bei there to do ideological work for them.
At the same time, Cheng Dalei also began to repair the Toad Village that was destroyed due to the battle. Fortunately, with the dual effects of solid defense and architectural proficiency, the process was very fast.
At this time, the number of spoils from this battle has also been counted. The approximate number is: several armors and weapons, three hundred war horses, several engineering vehicles and trebuchets, several tents, and countless grain and grass.
Cheng Dalei had a vague feeling of suddenly getting rich. Fighting to support fighting was indeed the fastest way to get rich.
About ten days later, after the post-war work was completed, the middle-level cadres of the village gathered in the Juyi Hall.
"Let me tell you, that guy named Mo wants to go against Master Cheng, he is just looking for death." Yun Zhonglong.
"You have to tell me, I saw it at the first sight. The person named Mo is a grasshopper from the Queen of Autumn. She won't be able to jump around for long." Qiao He.
"Let's see if Mo dares to be arrogant in the future. This place is not decided by him." You Ninth Floor.
After all, the three Yun Zhonglongs betrayed Cheng Dalei, and although they eventually found their way back, of course, in his opinion, they had found their way back. Since this incident had already happened, it would not be easy to gain Cheng Dalei's trust again.
So the three of them talked with Cheng Dalei in their hands, laughing and joking on the surface, but feeling very uneasy on the inside.
"I know that we have won this battle and everyone is very excited, but today is not the time to celebrate. The real celebration banquet will wait until we draw Qinchuan Pass." Cheng Dalei.
Yun Zhonglong was shocked and said in disbelief: "Master Cheng, you want to attack Qinchuan Pass?"
Cheng Dalei nodded: "What's wrong?"
"Ah, it's nothing, nothing." Yun Zhonglong said quickly, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Qinchuan Pass has a high wall and many soldiers, so it is not easy to defeat it. Moreover, Mo Mingmi has been domineering in Qinchuan for so many years, and gradually everyone has regarded his existence as a law, and no one has the idea of replacing him.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Dalei not only wanted to defeat Mo Mingmi, but also captured Qinchuan Pass and replaced him.
This incident shocked Yun Zhonglong.
What Cheng Dalei wanted was not to be on an equal footing with Mo Mingmi at Qinchuan Pass. Since he had defeated Mo Mingmi on the frontal battlefield, he had just been defeated at this moment. He had lost his troops and his morale was low. It was a good time to beat the drowned dog.
Killing you while you are sick is the only way Cheng Dalei pursues. Next, the topic of the meeting is how to attack Qinchuan Pass.
This is also the reason why Yunzhonglong and the others were called here today. They know the situation at Qinchuan Pass.
The main difficulty in this operation is how to enter Qinchuan Pass. Qinchuan Pass is considered a large city. To rely on the men Cheng Dalei currently has to carry out siege operations is almost equivalent to risking death.
The meeting was discussed very late, but no suitable solution was discussed. Cheng Dalei listened to everyone's suggestions, and suddenly something moved in his heart:
I still have an "eye" in Qinchuan Pass, how come I almost forgot about it.
After the victory, Toad Village was filled with an atmosphere of joy. As tense as they were during the battle, they were now more relaxed. Although Cheng Dalei said no celebrations were allowed, many people inevitably started drinking.
There is no way around this.
At midnight, when the moon was at its zenith, and many people were drunk, two people opened their eyes and sneaked out of the house quietly.
The bright moon shines on the earth, today is not the time to do bad things. The two looked at each other and saw tension in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any security posts along the way. As long as they knocked out the guard at the door, the two of them could sneak out of Toad Village.
"Are you leaving?"
The sudden recollection of the sound startled the two of them. When they came to their senses, they saw a man sitting in front of the gate of the cottage, drinking alone under the bright moon.
The two were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads silently.
"The boss."
These two people were none other than Lin Shaoyu and Lin Chong.
"It's a bit unethical to do this without saying anything before leaving." Cheng Dalei didn't look at the two of them, he just sighed softly while drinking.
"The war is over. We are no longer needed in Toad Village. Let's... let's go." Lin Shaoyu.
"Why, wouldn't I be able to survive this time without you?" Cheng Dalei said indifferently.
Lin Shaoyu was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "As the head of the family, you are born as a son, and you must avenge your father's murder."
Cheng Dalei looked at Lin Shaoyu and then at Lin Chong. If one of the two understood, it would be easy to talk, but if there is not one, he would not be able to explain clearly.
He sighed helplessly and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"
