Su Lu ordered that the people in the village had already died miserably, and there was no need for them to move their bodies again. Let's just use this place as their burial place.
The surroundings were solemn and amidst the thick stench, the soldiers raised their arms, clasped their fists in front of their chests, and saluted to the burial ground of the villagers.
"Hands on"
Su Pinghu roared, with uncontrollable anger in his throat.
The guardsmen threw down their weapons and began to fill in the pond. In less than half a day, the pond was bulldozed.
Several guards belonging to Zhoujiacun cried dryly, got up, piled grave bags on the pond, and erected a large wooden sign.
The spiritual places of the villagers of Zhoujia Village.
Su Lu looked at the Guardsmen who were kneeling in front of the grave: "Cry, get up when you've cried enough, come with me to fight those sons of bitches and avenge the dead folks."
A guard climbed up and wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, his voice hoarse.
"Your Majesty, this is the evil done by Qi people. Can you avenge my neighbors?"
Su Lu nodded: "I have fought against the people of Tule, I have fought against the people of Qin, I have fought against the people of Tang, and I will fight against the people of Qi."
Su Lu's voice was strong and powerful, and he persuaded several crying guardsmen. Several people got up one after another, kowtowed to Su Lu, and said that they had sold their lives to Su Lu.
Su Lu didn't take it seriously. He comforted them for a while, asked their names, and then let them return to the team.
The team started again. When Su Lu was carried onto the carriage, he lowered his voice and said to Niba:
"These boys should be of use to you."
Niba was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up as he watched the carriage curtain close.
Although the prince did not give out specific regulations, it already pointed out a good way for him to select people.
After informing Tudun'er, Niba took one of his old brothers with him and hurriedly went to look for these guardsmen brothers who had died.
In the carriage, Li Ling glanced at Niba's back and felt a little strange: "Isn't Niba your personal bodyguard, the prince? Why did you lead someone away instead of protecting you?"
Su Lu asked Li Ling: "How are you finding the skilled craftsmen I asked Your Majesty to find? Have you started working on the special armor and weapons I want to build?"
Li Ling thought for a while and said: "I am not responsible for the specific matters. I don't know the specific step of the progress. However, there was a report a few days ago. The craftsmen have arrived in the capital. The Ministry of Works has also opened a new treasurer to be responsible for it.
I think it won’t be too slow to carry out this project.”
Su Lu nodded, this was something that made him happy, so he simply mentioned it to Li Ling.
"I set up this army to do something special. The bravery, strategy, agility, and martial arts must be top-notch. This group of subordinates were selected from my army. After a while, the imperial court was stabilized.
, I will choose from all the major military towns, and I will definitely select the best soldiers."
"Unified training and unified execution of military affairs make it more elite than the Xuanjia Army and the Black Flag Army."
Li Ling's eyes lit up: "If some brothers are tired of the military and want to retire and go home, there is no need to waste these people. They can directly join my Dingxiang Guard. I promise to place them near their hometowns."
Su Lu nodded. His original intention was to ask Li Ling to send people over to participate in the training, but he didn't expect that the grandson would have his idea to target the retired soldiers who had never even scratched their heads.
"Okay, as long as you feel like it."
The army continued to move forward, and there were only a few people along the way. Even if they encountered villages, they were full of hungry people, and it was difficult to find a living person.
The team walked for another long time, and the sky turned dark, so they found a flat place to set up camp.
After dinner, Su Lu summoned the generals to discuss matters.
Luo Xuan unfolded the defense plan and talked about the current situation.
"Guangnan is full of people dying of hunger. People who eat Fushou Ointment are everywhere. Nine out of ten villages have turned into ghost villages because of Fushou Ointment. Our army entered Guangnan from Qu County. Now it is the largest county in Guangnan.
Lishan County is still some distance away, but judging from the situation along the way, Lishan County should not be much better."
"Therefore, if we follow the original military plan and advance in order, first occupying the largest city in Guangnan, and then dividing our troops to attack the remaining cities, it is not realistic."
Luo Xuan put away the stick in his hand, glanced at the troops, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I have agreed with the commander-in-chief that we will divide our troops here tomorrow. Each army will bring enough dry food for ten days. General Su Ping will go all the way, Captain Cao Hua will go all the way, General Dong Ning and General Zhao Wu will go together. We will capture Guangnan in three days.
The entire territory will meet at the foot of Guangnan City."
The generals in the camp were a little confused.
The division of troops was expected by the generals and captains. Along the way, the degree of corruption of the Guangnan Guards was simply outrageous. Everyone knew that it was impossible to defend Guangnan with such a team alone. There was no need for the Guards at all.
The troops are gathered in one place, so it is necessary to divide them.
But now the result of the division of troops is to let Cao Hua lead the army. All the generals and captains are very dissatisfied. They have fought so many battles through life and death, why should a girl be allowed to lead the army?
Everyone's actions were watched in Luo Xuan's eyes, but he did not speak. He just wanted to see if the commander-in-chief would insist on his own way and appoint General Cao Hua when all the generals were opposed.
Seeing that the generals were just making a few noises and being glared at by Su Lu, they all acted like turtles.
Luo Xuan continued to talk about the strategy of dividing the troops, which cities the army should attack, what the marching route should be, and how to attack when the Qi people assist the Han army in defending the city.
After such discussions, it was already midnight and the generals dispersed. Only Su Lu and Luo Xuan Zhou Yuan were left in the camp.
"Commander Commander, our army only has enough food and grass for two days. Anton's food and grass cannot be allocated. If there is no more food and grass in two days, our army will be doomed."
Su Lu also had a headache. There was not much food and grass left in the past few days. It was Zhou Yuan who searched all the counties and counties in Jiangzhou and gathered together a batch of food and grass to allow the guards to last a few more days.
I originally thought that Guangnan was close to Dong Qi. Even if Guangnan was not rich, it would not be a piece of cake to collect some food and grass.
Now it seems that the poverty in Guangnan is a bit beyond my imagination.
Eating in Guangnan is no longer possible.
The imperial court's supply of food and grass will definitely not be rushed, so the armies can only divide their forces and let the other three armies take away enough food and grass to raid the cities in Guangnan and accumulate as much food and grass as possible.
As for the Chinese army, which was almost out of ammunition and food.
"We can only think of ways to provide food and grass ourselves, and the imperial court cannot count on it in the short term."
Zhou Yuan also sighed and said, Guangnan is in such a bad state again, what should we do to save this tired army.
Su Lu clapped his hands, and Li Ling came in from outside, holding a defense plan and hanging it on the wall.
"Although Guangnan is poor, it is not without grain and grass supplies. Here, there is a warehouse where people gather goods. According to Dingxiang Wei, there may be a large amount of grain and grass supplies here."
"This is also a warehouse belonging to the Qi people. Although I don't know what it is, it is definitely right to capture it."
