In the previous life, His Majesty established the Jiang Dynasty. In the early days of the founding of the country, there were turbulent turbulence and natural disasters everywhere. The remnants of the Red Lotus Sect took the opportunity to stir up chaos and resurfaced. Although it did not cause much damage, it also brought a certain gray haze to this new dynasty. panic.
There are also some daring rebels, and it's just that the Empress is a witch, and she has tried to assassinate her several times.
Even the death of His Majesty has something to do with the Red Lotus Sect.
Every time he thinks of this, Wei Ci feels that his emotions are uncontrollable.
"But..." Qi Guanrang slightly hesitated.
Wei Ci's thin lips parted lightly, with a hint of coldness.
"The battlefield is chaotic, the rebels intend to open a city for the Red Lotus Sect, and the chaotic army accidentally died, is this not normal?"
If this kind of unstable guy is not dealt with as soon as possible, is it possible to keep it for the New Year
Qiguan Rang Yuan wanted to keep it for Jiang Pengji to deal with, but Wei Ci's words also made sense.
Unstable factors, if you stay for one more day, there will be a little more risk. It is better to cut the weeds.
Wei Ci thought of something, and he added, "Previously, the lord had promised An Yu that he would share 10% of his wealth after the war... For those prisoners, their documents and certificates were screened early. The available ones stayed, and the others were stubborn and extreme. Yes, it’s better to eliminate it…”
Wei Ci didn't want Jiang Pengji to touch the reputation of killing prisoners, so it would be better to throw the pot to An Xing.
According to An Yin's ability and the style of the Red Lotus Sect, the latter would definitely step on the bottom line of the former.
When An Yin finished using this group of people, waiting for the Red Lotus Sect to kill the donkey, cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Throwing the hidden danger to An Xing, Wei Ci didn't feel the pain in her conscience at all.
Qi Guanrang keenly noticed that Wei Ci had accented the words "stubborn and extreme".
Most of the prisoners were selected to be strong, young, and healthy. Those who were old, weak, sick and disabled were not considered, but Wei Ci made it clear - he didn't want those with "thought" problems, and their physique and limbs were intact instead. secondary condition.
This anomaly made Guan Qi curious, but at the same time he was a little more vigilant.
Wei Ci knew that Qi Guan was suspicious, and he explained, "The teachings of the Red Lotus Sect were inherited from a certain cult during the Sixteen Kingdoms period... Wen Zheng has read poetry and books, and naturally knows how much the Great Xia Dynasty unified the Sixteen Kingdoms in the early days of the founding of the dynasty. The evil sect is at work? They have revived several times, fanned the flames, encouraged the people, and brought trouble to one side... This Red Lotus Sect has to be guarded against. If you have problems with your brain, don't ask for it."
This reason can indeed persuade Qi Guanrong.
Let's not talk about it far, just talk about the two religions, Buddhism and Taoism, which are now rivaling each other, with believers all over the five countries.
The Red Lotus Religion cannot be compared with these two giants, but the three are the same religion, and they can vaguely see the shadow of each other.
Although Buddhism and Taoism are not forces in the traditional sense, their influence on the general trend of the world cannot be ignored.
If the Red Lotus Sect could have such a wide range of believers, it would be really annoying if it fanned the flames and made demons all over the place.
Officer Qi nodded in response.
"Come on, remember this."
This battle is an unprecedented victory. There are more than 23,000 prisoners in total. Others were killed on the spot or were seriously injured. Those who were still breathing were transported to the military region for medical treatment. Too busy to touch the ground.
Officer Qi ordered people to clean up the battlefield, clean up dead bodies, search for people who were still alive, and retrieve arrows that could be used...
Although his lord is a local tyrant, war is too expensive, so you can save it if you can.
In the next few days, the busiest part is probably the medical area.
For those with flesh wounds, just clean up the wounds and bandage them, so that the wounds are healed, and some can jump around and get military merit.
Those who had broken hands and feet, had their abdominal cavity opened by barrels, had their bones broken and embedded in their internal organs, and had large pieces of flesh cut off... With such heavy injuries, the doctor had no choice but to do his best.
There are also people who can't get through it, and are abruptly hurt to death.
In fact, the mass casualties of soldiers were not on the frontal battlefield, but after the war.
Too many people died of serious injuries.
Even if it has passed, if the wound encounters dirt during the healing period, it is very easy to fester, making the wound unable to heal and dying.
Fortunately, it is still the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the temperature is not so hot and humid, and the probability of wound inflammation and festering has been greatly reduced.
However, the mortality rate is still higher than the survival rate.
On the other hand, Jiang Pengji ordered to take a rest day and set off to attack Fenghu County as planned.
Coincidentally, the day before the attack on Fenghu County was the New Year's Day.
Before leaving the camp, Jiang Pengji had already bought enough pigs and sheep from the common people with silver money or the same amount of rice.
On the New Year's Day, the cooking soldiers slaughtered the pigs and sheep.
Pig blood is collected and condensed into blood clots, which are used as ingredients after preparation.
The internal organs are processed well, the fishy smell is removed, and the ingredients are cooked with spices to make cooked side dishes.
The pork bones are boiled into a thick white bone soup. The soup base is seasoned with spices. The bone broth is so rich in flavor that it can almost float into Fenghu County.
As for other pork and mutton, the parts are divided.
Some are boiled directly with white water, while others are added with fungus and stewed into a pot of stewed meat. Just looking at the color makes you salivate.
Dry stir-fried pork ribs with salt and pepper, dry fried shredded pork, diced Kung Pao pork...
In addition to these, I also got some raw meat and sliced bamboo strips, and the soldiers can bake the skewers on the fire by themselves.
As for the rice prepared by the kitchen, it is cooked with pre-prepared broth as water.
"This year's festival, everyone is open to eat."
The above is Jiang Pengji's original words.
The march is already hard, but such a rich meal is rarely seen on weekdays during the New Year.
Soldiers, in groups of three or five, ate New Year's Eve dinner around the bonfire. There was a shelf on the bonfire, and a pot was hooked. In the pot, all kinds of mountain goods and pieces of meat were boiled, and the tender soup made a gurgling sound... Hot soup hot After the meal, the whole person is warm.
In contrast, Fenghu County was deserted.
There are strong soldiers stationed outside the city, even if today is the New Year's Day, almost no one celebrates.
The most pitiful ones were the soldiers who were guarding the city, squatting on the high city walls, their thin and worn clothes did not have much resistance to the cold, their stomachs were empty, they were so hungry that they were so hungry, they sang the empty city plan... Many people endured it. They couldn't stop looking into the distance. There was a camp set up by Jiang Pengji's army. They couldn't see anything else, but they could see the jumping and burning fire.
Trying to smell it, there is a faint smell of food in the air.
Even if they were so far apart, they seemed to be able to hear the lively noises coming from there.
"very nice… "
A soldier guarding the city murmured in a low voice, with deep envy, simulating the taste of delicious food in his mind...
The more I thought about it, the more saliva was secreted. Finally, I swallowed the saliva in big mouthfuls, and the thunder in my abdomen rolled and rumbling.
In Fenghu County, the head of the Red Lotus Sect guarding the city received a report from outside the city, and he felt agitated.
"It's really annoying to step on the mother! I messed with the old man and brought their lair in the middle of the night!"
