Zhang Yuewan frowned. Without the presence of Haotian, Luo Xiangxuanji and others, there would be insurmountable coordination problems among senior generals such as Xue Sha. Although several people consider the overall situation, some omissions in details are inevitable.
of.
After coughing, everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhang Yuewan quietly. Xue Sha and others were all military elders, and they had a very close relationship with Haotian. They were the kind of masters in today's world who would stomp their feet and shake them three times.
, but Zhang Yuewan's identity is Haotian's wife after all. Especially in this expedition, Zhang Yuewan is in charge of supervising the army and represents Haotian. Everyone must give some respect to this.
"Everyone, although I have not witnessed today's battle, I am quite satisfied with the results in front of me. However, as Marshal Feng said, the real elites of the Eastern Japanese are still inside, and we have just eliminated them.
It's just the opponent's periphery. As long as the Eastern Japanese remain alive, our battle will continue." Zhang Yuewan looked around at the stern-faced people, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now, I want to discuss it with you.
Let’s talk about the next battle.”
Jiang Chenzhou and others were looking at Zhang Yuewan intently, while the four people who had been killed were smiling, waiting for Zhang Yuewan's next words.
"According to the report, the defensive power of Edo Castle is weaker than that of Nara, and it is relatively easier to attack. Therefore, I believe that when we divide and destroy it, it is necessary to consider Edo first."
Xue Sha smiled and said: "What the mistress said is true. We thought so just now, but we haven't come up with a unified opinion on the specific division of labor."
Zhang Yuewan naturally knew this, so she said with a smile: "We have all four battles in Hetao, what else can't be decided? But I think we can think about it this way."
Dugu and others also smiled and said: "Please give me some instructions, mistress."
"Commander Du is solely responsible for the prisoners of war captured today, Commander Xue is responsible for the overall planning of the next attack, Commander Nobu is responsible for breaking through the private soldiers of the lords of the Eastern Japan under Edo Castle, and Marshal Fengjing is responsible for cutting off the connection between Edo and Nara.
You can negotiate on your own for the required soldiers, including the navy, if necessary, what do you think?" Zhang Yuewan said with a smile.
The four blood-killing people looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes. Zhang Yuewan was indeed not a light-hearted person. With such a talent, it was no wonder that Zhang Cangxiong always regretted that she was not a man. She did not set a specific task, but she specified
We have chosen a direction that just meets the different needs of the four people and is completely impartial. As for the details, that is what I and others should consider. Of course, as for whether to adopt it, I and others should take this approach.
strategy, that’s all your own problem.
At the same time, they nodded slightly, and the four of them said with smiles on their faces: "The mistress is far-sighted, and I have no objection."
Zhang Yuewan smiled with satisfaction and said: "In that case, the four commanders please come up with a plan as soon as possible. It is best to conduct detailed strategic deductions to avoid accidents."
Dugu was a very diligent man. On the second day after the battle, Commander Dugu drove the Japanese prisoners of war in the prison camp to collect the remains of the soldiers on the battlefield.
The loss in the Hetao this time was not big, but many soldiers died in the battle. There were just too many corpses on the ground, so it was a bit troublesome to find them. Fortunately, every soldier in the Hetao had a military badge, and they were hungry for armor.
The pattern is fundamentally different from that of Eastern Japan, so there is no mistake.
The Goryeo side is also searching for the remains of its soldiers. In fact, Fu Zhutao and others do not attach great importance to the remains of the soldiers. In their view, since the Goryeo soldiers went on an expedition to the East Japan with the heart of revenge, then the corpses of the dead in the wilderness are also the same.
It was a normal thing. Just seeing how solemn the Loop was, they had no choice but to hold their noses and search for the remains of their comrades in the pile of dead bodies.
Goryeo's regular army is better. After all, their military uniform styles are different from those of the Eastern Japanese, but the rebels are different. These people don't wear military uniforms at all, and the Eastern Japanese and the Chinese mainland have the same race and the same clothes.
There are no lively expressions, so it is impossible to tell who is who from their appearance. Fortunately, the costumes of Dongwa are still somewhat different, and the Korean rebels can only judge from this aspect.
There were more than a million Japanese prisoners in Hetao, including no fewer than 200,000 able-bodied men. Now, all those working on the battlefield are these able-bodied men.
"Dushuai, how did you make these Japanese people obey your orders?" Everyone was a little confused.
"These Japanese are all weaklings who bully the weak and fear the strong. When they are in power, they are arrogant and domineering. Once they are in trouble, they will immediately kneel in front of you like dogs. I didn't say anything, just walked around in front of them with a knife.
, by the way, I gave them some information about the situation on the battlefield, and they became more honest." Dugu said with a smile.
"That's it?" Xue Sha didn't believe it.
Dugu smiled awkwardly: "Of course there are more. In fact, all of these Japanese people have families. When they came here with their families, they arranged the camp according to the place where they came from, so all their families were together.
.We captured so many Japanese yesterday. In addition to these strong men, we also captured their families. With those old and weak women and children in our hands, we can't help but disobey them."
Dugu originally thought that Xue Sha would laugh at him, but as soon as he said the words, he found that Xue Sha kept winking and his expression was indescribably obscene.
"Dushuai, since these Japanese are so obedient, if we drive them to fight as vanguard, do you think they will fight tooth and nail?"
Dugu slapped his hands: "Xue Shuai is really smart. Haha, I always thought that my shamelessness was invincible, but I didn't expect that you, Xue Shuai, would be even better, haha!"
Xue Sha was about to be proud, but when he heard Dugu's words, his face suddenly fell down, and his expression was indescribably depressed. Is this sentence so unpleasant?
It took the Loop a long time to find all the remains of its soldiers. After cremation, the ashes were sealed, and the Loop began to deal with the Japanese corpses all over the ground.
"Build a city! Needless to say!" Xin Ke said almost loudly. After speaking, he looked around at the surrounding generals with a pair of bull's eyes, for fear that some people would disagree.
Li Xiao hesitated and said: "There are only five to six million Japanese corpses on the ground. Isn't that a little too few?"
Danqiu smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "It's a little less, but a little adds up. Don't forget, there are more than one million Japanese in our prisoner-of-war camp, and there are at least two million on the other side.
The materials for building a city must be eaten one bite at a time, and the city must be built bit by bit. Don't be in a hurry."
When Dan Qiu and Li Xiao were in Qingyun Qianqi, their friendship was not very deep. However, with the continuous death of Qingyun Qianqi soldiers, the remaining dozens of old comrades are now quite close. After all, they belong to their era.
There are really not many people left.
Xue Sha smiled happily and pointed to a small highland near the river a few miles ahead and said: "Look, if you want to build a city, this is a good choice. The feng shui here is good, and it is a higher place on the Guandong Plain.
The city built here should be visible even on the sea. Just imagine that a million corpses built a strong city, and this strong city can also be used as a lighthouse for ships on voyages. How majestic it is. Since this city
It’s in the far east, so why not call it Dingdong City?”
Feng Jing didn't speak, but he didn't mean to object. He was in favor of killing all the Japanese. Although he was also very interested in building the city, he was not as enthusiastic as everyone else.
Xinke frowned and said with some worry: "Now is the time when the sea breeze is strong. If these corpses rot, the smell will not be good." However, he has no objection to the name of Dingdong City.
Dugu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I also helped with the medicine that Mr. originally prepared. Not only did he bring the formula, but he also brought a lot of introductions to the medicine. This medicine will work when it comes into contact with blood, and then the body will
The yellow water that melts away can be used as a new medicine. At that time, at most, let those Japanese people carry some water to rinse it, and it should be fine."
Everyone was immediately overjoyed, while Zhang Yuewan and Fu Ruoshui instinctively took a few steps back. The generals in Hetao, even the most polite Fengjing, were murderous masters. Don't look at Fengjing who didn't speak just now.
, if no one proposes it, Fengjing will most likely propose throwing all these people into the sea to reclaim the sea.
A casual glance revealed that Yingji'er and Chu Yueying listened with great interest, and even made suggestions from time to time. The two looked at each other, both shaking their heads and smiling bitterly. They are worthy of being the adopted daughters of Haotian and the Hetao Army.
A rising star who is decisive and hard-hearted in killing is indeed rare.
At the suggestion of Dugu and others, the Hetao army once again began to build the city. The Hetao side originally planned to let Dong Japanese Jingzhuang do this kind of menial work, but the Korean soldiers volunteered, and not only Fu Zhutao and three others, but
Even the navy officers and soldiers under Fu Yishan took the initiative to volunteer. Their enthusiasm was so high that even the Hetao was taken aback.
Fu Ruoshui didn't want his soldiers to become as bloody as the Hetao, so he tried his best to stop it. However, the Korean soldiers were obviously in high spirits, and Fu Ruoshui didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he had to let it go and watch a group of Korean soldiers enthusiastically
He carried the corpse to build the city with great enthusiasm, and his face looked very ugly.
The Japanese soldiers not far away from the opposite side were very surprised when they first saw that Hetao was actually taking the initiative to collect the bodies of their soldiers. However, after seeing what Hetao did next, everyone turned pale and started to vomit. They
They are all cruel and murderous people, but I never expected that Hetao could be so cruel.
A group of high-ranking generals in Hetao gathered together and looked at the heated situation in front of them. Everyone was smiling. On that day when Nian Tian Shengjing was building the city, they only saw the foundation stage. It was not as grand as it is now. Later it became more and more popular.
The captives on Qinchuan Road and Yangzhou Road continued to move northward, and the size of Niantian Holy Capital also continued to expand. However, at this time, the Hetao army had already moved south, and they had no chance to see it.
Besides, this kind of thing is not as satisfying as doing it yourself.
Twenty or thirty senior generals at the command level gathered together, and they were full of laughter, while Zhang Yuewan and Fu Ruoshui looked pale.
"How could this great city-building project be filled with dead bodies at the beginning? People would think that we in Hetao were corpse robbers. Zhou Jilong! Long Zhishan!"
"The end is here!"
"You lead 50,000 soldiers to the prisoner-of-war camp, and drive out all those who have no able-bodied men at home, or who are widowed. We don't have much food in the Hetao, and we can't afford to feed so much waste."
"You are so handsome and clever. This can not only give those strong men a warning and make them obedient, but also save food. It really kills two birds with one stone." Xin Ke said with a smile.
Dugu accepted the compliments engraved in the letter unceremoniously, laughed for a while, and began to point out the great cause of building the city in front of him. He completely did not realize that the faces of Zhang Yuewan and Zhang Yuewan beside him were not pale, but blue.
.
After three days of busy work, the Hetao finally cleared away all the corpses everywhere. An irregular square city with a side length of about ten miles appeared on the bank of Benyongchuan. However, due to limited materials, the city was only two meters long.
Laigao. But the city wall, which is only two meters high, has swallowed up the corpses of nearly 600,000 Japanese and the lives of more than 100,000 Japanese in prisoner-of-war camps...
Originally, some Japanese in the prisoner-of-war camp were very dishonest, but after seeing such bloody methods in the Loop, no one dared to groan. The Japanese on the other side were furious, but after the anger, they were filled with the deepest fear.
"Blood Commander, Alone Commander, I must remind you of one thing. Due to the strong walls and clear fields of the East Japan, we cannot obtain even a grain of food from the East Japan. And the food we bring ourselves can only support us for five years at most.
We need more than 100,000 land and sea troops for three months, but now that we have nearly a million prisoners of war, our food can only last for forty days at most. Therefore, I hope that you can resolve the battle within these forty days."
Zhang Yuewan didn't want to get involved in military matters, but as Haotian's wife, she hoped that Xue Sha and others could face this issue as soon as possible. In front of Xue Sha and others, she never addressed herself as "my palace", but always referred to her as "concubine". Therefore, she
She understands that her status as a princess is nothing in the eyes of Xue Sha and others. Moreover, now that the Qingfeng Empire is gone, her status as a princess has long been worthless.
He Bugui hurriedly followed up and said: "We still need to leave the food we need when we return to China. Just in case, we must keep enough food for at least five days."
Dugu laughed loudly: "What the mistress means is that we must destroy the Japanese in these forty days? Or rather."
"Or what?" Zhang Yuewan said in confusion, and Fu Ruoshui and others next to him also looked puzzled.
Xinke took over the conversation with a smile: "Or we could kill all the prisoners in the prison camp and build a city."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuewan and others stopped talking.
Having said that, Dugu and others quickly took action. It happened to be the end of June in the Chinese calendar. Although Haotian ordered them to return before September in order to participate in the battle against Jinhua Mitsukoshi. But Dugu and others
There are also other considerations. After all, soldiers also need to rest, so it is best to go back a month in advance to give the soldiers sufficient rest time.
"Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jingzhong led 150,000 soldiers and 3 million soldiers and civilians on Dahu Road to surrender to Hetao. The soldiers of the Southern Military Region were reorganized and condensed into the Dingnan Army Corps with a total strength of 100,000 people. Cheng Guochi became the commander of the army and Zhu Chiya was the deputy army officer.
The commander, Fang Qinshan, is the chief of staff. Gu Changfeng, the former staff member of Jingnan Gong, temporarily takes over the post of prefect of Dahu Road. The Zhang family of Huaishui knows that they are outnumbered, so please surrender."
"Go on." Zhang Yuewan frowned and said.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are on an expedition. Since there was no soul-eating contact point set up in Hetao in Dongbo before, they cannot communicate through carrier pigeons. It will take at least five days for the information from China to be transmitted to Dongbo. This is from Haotian.
As for the soul-eating intelligence, Xue Sha was responsible for it. Unless it involved the navy, Zhang Yuewan could not intervene.
Zhang Cangzong looked at his niece worriedly, but continued to read: "The Zhang family would like to surrender. Your Majesty will agree with Master Chu, Mr. Luo and others after discussing it."
"Is it accurate? That's good." Zhang Yuewan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Haotian would not be accurate. In that case, the Zhang family in Huaishui would definitely face a disaster. However, Zhang Cangzong's expression was not very good. At the moment
He asked doubtfully: "Uncle, are the conditions proposed by Mr. Luo and others too harsh for us to accept? This is normal. If we don't pay a sufficient price, our future situation may be more dangerous."
Zhang Cangzong swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile: "We paid a certain price, but our lord treated us quite generously. Zhang Huayang and the 20,000 soldiers under his command who participated in the war north that day were all beheaded in public, and their bodies were sent to Niantian
Build a city in the holy capital."
"Yes." Zhang Yuewan nodded. She had expected this. Hetao would never let these people go, even if she was Haotian's wife. However, twenty thousand people's lives were exchanged for millions of Huai River water.
Although Zhang Yuewan felt reluctant to give up on the well-being of the people, it was still a good deal.
"The assassination of Brother Wang by Zhang Cangwu and others, my lord, is a family matter of our Zhang family, and we will handle it ourselves. The Huai River Army is condensed into a legion with the Yellow Turban Legion as the core, and uncle Zhang Keliang serves as the commander of the legion. Huai Shui Army
The prefect has not yet been decided, but it is very likely that he will be Cang Wu, but the five prefects below are all old people from our Zhang family."
"What?" Zhang Yuewan was shocked, looking at Zhang Cangzong with a bitter smile on his face, both of them felt a chill in their hearts.
They have all been in the Hetao for a long time, especially Zhang Yuewan, who has stayed in the Hetao for several years. She really knows the virtues of the top management in the Hetao. The Hetao will never tolerate anyone other than Haotian.
With the power to fight against the Hetao, Zhang Yuewan had always been puzzled when the Qinchuan Li family surrendered. However, she was relieved after discovering that the Hetao was constantly reducing the Li family's strength.
Zhang Cangzong obviously thought of Zhang Cangxiong's last words, and his expression was quite bitter. There was a lot of affection between Hetao and Huaishui, but this affection was based on Zhang Cangxiong's father and daughter. Zhang Cangxiong was assassinated, and Zhang Yuewan stayed away from Hetao.
Haotian is surrounded by Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng, two old, cunning, sinister and vicious people. He must have some ulterior motive for treating the Zhang family so kindly.
