Chapter seven hundred and eighty ninth: what's wrong with staying out of the way
Hengdian, the battlefield where flesh and blood were once filled with flesh and blood, was where countless soldiers were buried. Although the war had been over for more than half a month, the traces of the war were still visible. .
Under the surveillance of the miners' camp, more than a thousand soldiers drawn from the surrendered Qin army were cleaning the battlefield. Qin soldiers were buried in an extremely huge pit, accompanied by their war horses that died here together, and thousands of corpses were buried together, which made Lu Dayuan feel sad.
Covering the soil, these once fresh lives will no longer be traced in the world. Only a lonely stone tablet stands in the middle, reminding people of the stories that happened here.
"General Lu, thank you for allowing me to erect a monument for these brothers." Lu Dayuan wiped his tears and bowed to Lu Feng, the leader of the miner's camp standing beside him. "With this monument, their relatives in China come to pay tribute to them in the future, and they can still find a place to burn incense and paper."
"It's just human nature." When the war was fought, the war was over. Even people like Lu Feng felt a little trembling, and this was just a loss for one side. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not have a burial. They chose to cremate the remains of the soldiers who died in battle, and then took the ashes back to their homes and handed them over to their families. These days, Hengdian has been smoky all the time, and the smell of burning the bodies has been floating here.
The miners' battalion was the most severely injured Ming army unit. After half a month, the soldiers who had returned to the team had only barely collected 2,000 people. Nearly 3,000 soldiers of the miners' battalion fell here. Including the soldiers who died in the battle between the cavalry battalion and the Fire Fire Death Camp, the Ming army suffered losses of more than 4,000 people in this battle.
The tragic war was the most cruel thing since Lu Feng joined the army.
"I wonder how many more people will die?" As if touched by the scene in front of me, Lu Dayuan said sadly: "Is Your Majesty the Emperor of Your Country ready to launch an attack on Qingzhou County? How long will this battle last?"
"It's so that General Lu knows that this battle between our two countries will not be fought for the time being. Your prince has signed a contract with His Majesty the Emperor of our country. We are ready to withdraw our troops." After adjusting his mood, Lu Feng looked at Lu Dayuan with a smile.
"Is it Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Lu Dayuan was slightly surprised.
"Well, General Lu, your Kaiping King Deng Hong has been arrested. I'm afraid I will never be able to leave Yongdu in this life, and it's hard to say whether he can save his life." Lu Feng said lightly.
"What?" Lu Dayuan changed color suddenly. "How could this happen?"
"Why isn't this?" Lu Feng said: "Deng Hong provoked this war without authorization. It would be fine if he won, but he failed and suffered a very bad defeat. Doesn't he need to give an explanation to the Qin court and the people?"
Lu Dayuan took a deep breath, silently said for a while, "Da Qin, I'm afraid it's going to be in chaos."
Lu Feng shrugged: "General Lu, I'll ask a question outside of the question, you can't answer me. Are you more loyal to the Qin court or Deng Hong?"
After hearing Lu Feng's question, Lu Dayuan was a little confused and thought for a long time before saying, "In my opinion, being loyal to the prince means being loyal to the Qin Dynasty! Since the day I joined the army, I have been under the prince's command, starting from the prince's personal guard, and always becoming a general. The prince treats me with a father and son, and his kindness is as heavy as a mountain."
"I understand!" Lu Feng nodded.
"Since the two countries have already ceased war, when will you be ready to release us back?" Lu Dayuan asked.
"That's right, it's really hard to say." Lu Feng hesitated for a moment, "There is something I can tell General Lu that when the prince of your country was negotiating with His Majesty the Emperor, he did not mention any questions about you and the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Qin Army. It seems that he forgot about this matter. If he doesn't mention it, we will naturally not be able to pay back."
Lu Dayuan looked miserable, looked at the direction of Qin, and said for a while, "The prince was defeated and imprisoned. Next, the court will definitely spare no effort to attack the prince's power and take all the power in the prince's hands to the court. Generals like me and army loyal to the prince, the prince naturally does not want us to return to cause trouble for him."
Lu Feng patted Lu Dayuan on the shoulder sympathetically, "This is politics. Sometimes we who are generals really can't understand it. Fortunately, our Ming Dynasty is not as good as your Qin State, so we don't need to think about these problems. General Lu, in fact, this may not be bad for you. If you think about it, it may not be a good thing."
"Where does the good come from?" Lu Dayuan asked back.
"General Lu, think about it. Although Deng Hong was imprisoned, the Deng family was the same old family as the Royal Ma family. Its power was spread all over the government and was deeply rooted. The emperor wanted to wipe out the Deng family. In this battle, even if Deng family is at an absolute disadvantage, I don't think there is no power to fight back. This scene may still be sung. When you go back, you will be involved in it. If you may not do it well, it will be a fate of being disgraced. It would be better to stay in our Ming Kingdom and sit and watch the storm rise!"
"Are you a prisoner of war in Ming Dynasty?" Lu Dayuan murmured.
Lu Feng smiled and said, "General Lu, our Ming Dynasty has many different places from your Qin State. You just took this opportunity to take a walk in the Ming Dynasty and take a look, and see what different places are between our Ming Dynasty and your Qin State? You have never been to Yuejing City. The prosperity there is not inferior to that of Chang'an Shangjing."
"I am a prisoner of war, can I still walk around?" Lu Dayuan was a little disbelief.
"I'm afraid other people can't do it, but General Lu has a different status. Even a prisoner of war will be treated well." Lu Feng said: "Of course, the premise is that your subordinates don't do anything."
"What else can they do?" Lu Dayuan smiled bitterly: "Didn't we have separated them and locked them up? I saw that my soldiers were so hungry that their legs were trembling."
"This is just temporary." Lu Feng smiled and said, "Now my soldiers are also eating twice a day, and the food is a little tight. Are you not fighting now? Once the situation eases, everything will naturally get better. Of course, General Lu, I have to remind you if there is something."
"Please make it clear to the general."
"We have a rule in the Ming Dynasty, but we don't keep idle people. Even if you are prisoners of war, it's not OK. So at a certain time, these prisoners of war may have to work and use their own hands to eat." Lu Feng said.
"I'm already prepared for this."
"That's good. Please tell your generals about the current situation in China. Let me tell you what I mean. The management of prisoners of war is a big problem. If you are willing to cooperate with your officers, that is the best thing. We really don't want anything that embarrasses both sides or even bleeding events." Lu Feng said.
Lu Dayuan nodded heavily.
"I'm killed by a knife, and I'm fishing. Now the country is in chaos. I don't know what will happen in the future. Even if it's for the sake of the families of these soldiers, I won't let them mess around."
Lu Feng shook his head: "General Lu, after a while you will find that in our Ming Dynasty, even if you are a prisoner of war, maybe these soldiers will live a better life than your Qin State, except that they have no freedom for the time being. There is a little difficulty in front of you, but this is still in the war, and we all need to take a breath!"
Lu Dayuan smiled bitterly and said nothing. As the commander of this surrendered army, his treatment was indeed good. The Ming army did not even treat him as a general of an enemy country. It was very friendly, but this did not change the facts.
Both of them fell silent for a moment. But suddenly, they both felt something at the same time, turned around at the same time, and looked in the other direction.
Where is there a bare tree without leaves. This tree, which was originally lush and lush, had all its leaves been picked by Qin Feng half a month ago. Now, next to this tree, there is a person sitting cross-legged.
Huo Guang, since he realized something that day, he has been sitting cross-legged there, not eating or drinking, and not sleeping.
"It seems to be done." Lu Feng was overjoyed, "General Lu, how lucky you are to witness the promotion path of a great master with your own eyes, go and see."
Lu Dayuan's heart skipped a beat again. The Ming Dynasty, as the rising Chaoyang, not only won the battlefield, but also far surpassed the Qin State in front of the top masters. In just a short time, he witnessed Qin Feng's advancement to the master. Now, is he going to see another appear?
Eunuch Le was a little nervous. He was left here by Qin Feng to take care of Huo Guang who was comprehending. Now, of course, he also knew that Huo Guang was about to become, and he was happy and envious. He was also at the peak of level nine, but he had only ended here. Because of his physical incompleteness, he would never be able to advance to the master in this life.
Lu Dayuan and Lu Feng rushed over and stood side by side with him. Shu Chang also came over. These days, he has been busy treating the soldiers and treating them. Because of his existence, many fewer Ming soldiers died. However, this time he stood far away. When Qin Feng was accomplished that day, he almost started to say that he learned from his mistakes. He didn't want to take this risk. He had not married his beloved Wang Yueyao yet.
A low moan came out of Huo Guang's mouth sitting cross-legged on the ground, from low to high, gradually resounding throughout the clouds. On the Hengdian battlefield, everyone turned their heads to look here in horror. If only those who had mastered martial arts practice had experienced Huo Guang's transformation, now everyone has noticed the abnormality.
With the long roar, Huo Guang rose up, stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed it. A slight sound of jamming came from the big tree in the distance. In a blink of an eye, the tree body was covered with cracks. In the midst of a palpitations, it collapsed like sand and gravel. Whether it was the main pole or the branches, they were all shaken into powder.
Huo Guang smiled at the sky. (To be continued...)
