Wanyan Khan gathered an army to go to Zhou to fight. These territories were really advantageous for them.
It has to be said that the grassland is really vast and sparsely populated. After a small battle, the front line can be easily advanced for dozens of miles, and the camp has to be reorganized.
Of course, they didn't actually put much effort into setting up camp. The prisoners of war were also very useful. Although there were not many of them, they were all capable and strong, and the tents they built were quite strong and durable.
Zhao Hongyu's stay was very comfortable.
Zhao Hongyu sat in the Chinese army's tent and wrote the battle report. After writing it, he would immediately send it to the capital.
After writing a victory report, Zhao Hongyu sealed it and handed it to the soldiers on the side to send it out. Then he raised his head and looked at the deputy general Yan Guang who came in and asked: "How is the situation in the army? Have you ever invaded the herdsmen and people?
"
Yan Guang said solemnly: "Reporting to the general, our Zhenbei Army is strict in running the army and treats the herdsmen and the common people without any offense."
Zhao Hongyu nodded and said: "Okay here, by the way, we must abide by the etiquette and laws when it comes to women and children, especially children, and never do anything that damages the prestige of our military."
Yan Guang said: "General, don't worry. From the time our army was stationed until now, no soldier has dared to have any inappropriate thoughts about the women on the grassland. Everyone is strict with themselves!"
Zhao Hongyu said in surprise: "Everyone is strict with themselves? Now they are all obedient."
In this troubled world, the army that has won the battle is as if it has obtained a legal robber's card.
Especially after a city is captured, burning, killing and looting are all too common.
It is difficult to have an army that can rule with absolute strictness.
Not even our Chu country can do this kind of army.
After all, all the soldiers lived a life of licking blood from their swords and hanging their heads on their belts to earn a living.
A little carelessness on the battlefield can lead to death.
Over time, the thoughts and behaviors of these soldiers will inevitably be tainted with a little bit of animality.
Especially after a battle like siege, few people can suppress the evil in their hearts even after a narrow escape.
Without strict discipline and lofty beliefs, it would be extremely difficult to do no harm to the common people.
The Chu army is the most warlike army and also the most rebellious.
There are very few people in Chu State who can tie up these wild horses.
Even Zhao Hongyu was not absolutely sure that he could chain his soldiers.
I'm afraid only the prince can suppress them.
But what Zhao Hongyu didn't expect was that until now, he had not done any harm to the herders and common people on the grassland?
The sun really comes out from the west.
Yan Guang has also led troops for many years, so he naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Hongyu's words. He said, "In fact, it is not difficult to explain why these soldiers did not commit any crime against the herdsmen and common people on the grassland today."
Zhao Hongyu said: "How to explain? There is not a single adulterer. Could it be that all of them are really possessed by Saint Kong?"
Yan Guang coughed and said: "I think the general is strict in running the army..."
Zhao Hongyu: "Tell the truth."
Yan Guang: "Actually, it may be because the grassland is too big. Our Zhenbei Army fought a total of three battles today. After each battle, we had to uproot the camp and advance for dozens of miles. The soldiers were really tired.
Ah, even if you have that kind of heart, your body won't allow it, especially in the camp that transports heavy equipment and firearms, these people can be said to sleep on pillows."
"You don't even need to go in. As long as you get close to their camp, you can hear their snoring sound, which is like thunder. You can't wake them up even if you scream, and they won't react even if you twist your ears."
Zhao Hongyu said: "That's true. You and I, the generals, all have horses. Most of the underground soldiers have only relied on their legs to get here. It's normal for them to be tired."
Yan Guang continued; "The other thing is..."
Zhao Hongyu asked: "What is it? Why are you still hesitating?"
Yan Guang said: "The women on the grassland are really tough. All of them are like tigresses, and...the big and thick ones...our soldiers are tired enough from fighting. No one would think of doing it for themselves."
Such a big challenge, right?”
"There are some good-looking ones, but their tempers are too wild. Not only do they know a few moves, but they are also quite proficient in archery. If you fight with such a woman, you will easily get involved..."
Zhao Hongyu: "..."
Yan Guang continued: "As for the third point, the grassland people still use cattle, sheep and animal skins to trade, and few people use silver, copper coins, etc. Our soldiers can't take away live cattle and sheep, nor
There’s no place to put it…”
Yes, if you take money, you can take it. It can be stuffed into sleeves, pockets, anywhere. Where can you stuff live cattle or sheep?
There's really no place to put it.
Since there is no place to put it, and the women on the grassland have wild tempers, I won't mess with them if I can.
Zhao Hongyu twitched the corner of his mouth and continued to ask: "Then is there any abuse of prisoners in our army?"
Yan Guang clasped his fists and said, "General, no one in our army has attacked an unarmed prisoner of war. We have given the prisoners of war the greatest preferential treatment. Many soldiers even appreciate these prisoners of war."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongyu said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
Yan Guang said: "Yes, our army has advanced for tens of miles, especially the elite soldiers pushing bomb-dropping trucks, artillery and escorting gunpowder and baggage. It has been quite hard along the way. Now there are people who are willing to help them set up camps and set up camps."
The craftsmanship of the tents is impeccable, and the soldiers naturally appreciate these prisoners of war."
Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's quite interesting."
Yan Guang continued; "It's indeed interesting, especially the soldiers who transport the ordnance and equipment. They do heavy work and have run out of energy after walking for such a long time. They all begged that these prairie prisoners of war be allowed to follow the army.
On weekdays, just set up a tent for them, since they only need food and no military pay anyway."
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said: "We can bring a group of prisoners of war to do these things for the brothers in the supply camp. Anyway, these prisoners of war need to eat food. Where can they eat? It would be good to order some people to follow."
Yan Guang cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Zhao Hongyu asked, "Where are these prisoners of war now? You can ask people to pick up some good tent builders to accompany the army."
Yan Guang heard Zhao Hongyu's words and said, "They happen to be still working, so I will send someone over to pick out some smart ones."
Zhao Hongyu wondered: "Haven't the military tents been set up? What are they still doing?"
Yan Guangqian smiled and said: "General, don't misunderstand, they... they are building a prisoner of war camp for themselves at this time."
Zhao Hongyu: "..."
Let people build prisoner of war camps for themselves? This is simply murderous and heartbreaking!
