The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 732: Murder

It has to be said that the grassland is really vast and sparsely populated. After a small battle, the front line can advance dozens of miles at will, and the camps have to be re-established.

Of course, they didn't put much effort into setting up camp, and 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 durable.

Zhao Hongyu lived very comfortably.

Zhao Hongyu was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army writing the battle report, which would be sent to the capital immediately after it was finished.

After finishing writing a victory report, Zhao Hongyu sealed it and handed it over to the soldiers at the side to send it out. Then he looked up at the deputy general Yan Guang who came in and asked, "How is the situation of the army stationed? Have you ever attacked the herdsmen? "

Yan Guang said solemnly: "Reporting to the general, our Zhenbei Army has strict military management, and has never committed any crime against the herdsmen and common people."

Zhao Hongyu nodded and said: "That's good. By the way, with women and children, especially children, we must abide by the etiquette and do not do anything that would harm our military prestige."

Yan Guangdao: "General, don't worry, from the time our army was stationed until now, not a single soldier has dared to have any unreasonable thoughts about women on the grassland, and everyone is strict with themselves!"

Zhao Hongyu was surprised and said: "Everyone is strict with themselves? Now they are all obedient."

In this troubled world, a victorious army is as if it has obtained a legal bandit certificate.

Especially after capturing a city, burning, killing and looting are all too common.

It is very difficult to have an army with absolute strict rule.

Such an army, even their Chu State, can't do much.

After all, all the soldiers were licking blood with their knives, hanging their heads on their waistbands to beg for Life.

A little carelessness on the battlefield will kill you.

If things go on like this, the thoughts and behaviors of these soldiers will inevitably be contaminated with a little animalism.

Especially after fighting a battle like a siege, few people can suppress the evil in their hearts after a narrow escape.

If it is not for strict discipline and lofty beliefs, it is not an ordinary difficulty to do nothing to the common people.

The Chu army is the most warlike army, and also the most rebellious army.

There are few people in Chu State who can tie up this group of wild horses that have run wild.

Even Zhao Hongyu was not absolutely sure that he could tie up his soldiers.

I am afraid that only the prince can suppress them.

But what Zhao Hongyu didn't expect was that until now, Qiu has done nothing to the herdsmen and common people in the grassland?

The sun really came out from the west.

Yan Guang is also a person who has led the army 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 have done nothing to the herdsmen and people on the grassland today."

Zhao Hongyu said: "How to explain? There is not a single criminal. Could it be that all of them are really possessed by Kong Saint?"

Yan Guang coughed and said: "The last general thinks that the general governs the army strictly..."

Zhao Hongyu: "Tell the truth."

Yan Guang: "Actually, it may be because the grassland is too big. Our Zhenbei Army fought three battles today. After each battle, we had to pull out the camp and move forward 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 battalion that transports baggage and firearms, these people can be said to sleep as soon as they touch their pillows.”

"You don't even need to go in. As long as you get close to their camp, you can hear the snoring sound like thunder. You can't wake up if you scream, and there is no response to twisting your ears."

Zhao Hongyu said: "That's true. Both you and my generals have horses. Most of the underground soldiers have come to the present with only their legs. It is common sense to be tired."

Yan Guang continued; "There is also..."

Zhao Hongyu asked: "What is it? Why are you still hesitating?"

Yan Guang said: "The women on the prairie are really tough, they are all like tigresses, and...the five big and three thick...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 can they know a few tricks, but they are also quite proficient in archery. If you fight with such a woman, it's easy to get yourself into it..."

Zhao Hongyu: "..."

Yan Guang continued: "As for the third point, people in the grasslands are still trading in cattle, sheep and animal skins, and few people use silver and copper coins, and our soldiers can't take away live cattle and sheep. The place to put it is not..."

That's right, if you rob money, you will rob it, stuff it in your sleeves, pockets, anywhere, where do you stuff live cattle and sheep?

There is really no place to put it.

Since there is no place to put it, and the women on the grassland are wild, so don't mess with them if you can.

The corners of Zhao Hongyu's mouth twitched, and he continued to ask: "Then is there any phenomenon of torture of prisoners in our army?"

Yan Guang cupped fist said: "General Qi, there is not a single unarmed prisoner of war in our army. The prisoners of war are given the greatest preferential treatment, and many soldiers even appreciate these prisoners of war."

"Oh?" Zhao Hongyu asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

Yan Guangdao: "Yes, our army has advanced tens of miles, especially pushing the bombers, artillery, and the elite soldiers who escorted the gunpowder and supplies. The craftsmanship of the tent is unquestionable, and the soldiers naturally appreciate these prisoners of war, "

Zhao Hongyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this; "It's very interesting."

Yan Guang continued; "It's really interesting, especially the part of the soldiers who transported the armaments and supplies. They were doing heavy work, and they had already run out of strength after walking for so long. They all begged to take these grassland prisoners of war with the army. On weekdays, we only need to pitch a tent for them, anyway, they only need to eat and don’t need military pay.”

Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said, "It's possible to take a group of prisoners of war and do these things for the brothers in the supply camp. Anyway, these prisoners of war need to eat food, where should they eat? It would be good to order some people to follow."

Yan Guang cupped his hands; "Yes!"

Zhao Hongyu asked: "Where are these prisoners of war now? You can ask someone to pick up some good men who set up tents to accompany the army."

Yan Guang heard Zhao Hongyu's words and said: "It happens that they are still working, so I will send someone over to pick out some clever ones."

Zhao Hongyu asked suspiciously, "Hasn't the tents in the army already been set up? What are they still doing?"

Yan Guang smiled dryly; "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 murder!
