The night was lit up by torches.
Prairie climate, cold at night.
The soldiers of the Han army who had just been defeated were leaning against the bonfire one by one.
Zhang Qi's arrival made these frightened birds extremely nervous.
But it is different from the life and death confrontation in the afternoon.
This time Zhang Qi and the others seemed much more easy-going.
"Ten thousand generals Xu Kai."
Zhang Qi's shout made all the soldiers of the Han army turn their attention to the bonfire in the middle.
"I have met the Marquis of Liao."
A burly man stood up, looking nervous.
"Well, your battalion has ten thousand people, and I have brought five hundred sheep over. Let's kill them and share them."
Zhang Qi waved his hand, and the three hundred bodyguard cavalry threw the five hundred sheep with their limbs tied from horseback to the ground.
"."
Xu Kai would not be able to deal with this, let alone him, all the soldiers of the Han army would be unable to deal with it.
Is the Marquis of Liao so generous?
Are you so relieved?
Seeing that they didn't move.
Zhang Qi frowned and snorted coldly.
"What? You still want me to finish it and feed it to you personally!"
"Don't dare."
"I don't dare, just leave it to the younger one."
"Thank you, Lord Liao."
"."
Some people wanted to make a haha, but suddenly remembered their own identity and did not dare to do it halfway through the haha. They had to lower their heads and step forward to deal with the fat sheep.
They deal with theirs.
Zhang Qize took out a tin speaker and continued.
"I don't care whether you want to escape or not. In fact, I will not stop you from escaping."
"But you also need to think clearly."
"Look at the armor and equipment of these soldiers under my command."
"After you escape and return to Han Dynasty, how likely is it that you will be pushed onto the battlefield to fight against me again?"
"You guys think about it clearly. If your ten thousand generals go back and are demoted, they will still be captains of thousands of generals and Sima of hundreds of generals. But you should still be small soldiers."
"If you want today's encounter to happen again, I will turn a blind eye to your escape attempts."
"But if you choose to stay and really surrender to me, I can promise you to wait. If you want to continue your official position in the army, those who have no intention of fighting can also find their own land after returning to Liao."
"I have made my interests clear to you and others. I leave it all to you and others as to how to choose."
Zhang Qi's words made the camp of thousands of people fall into silence. Even those who were handling the fat sheep couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi's words were very straightforward, without any twists and turns. Even these ill-educated soldiers could understand the meaning of every word.
Yes, back in the Han Dynasty, soldiers with battlefield experience would not be allowed to retire before they reached their age.
Most of the soldiers will be sent to the battlefield again.
What happened to Ju Yanze this time would definitely make the emperor draw his sword against Zhang Qi.
No need to guess, after they return, they will be pushed up to the front to face Zhang Qi.
All the soldiers couldn't help but tremble when they thought of today's bloody storm.
Do you want to stay?
Invariably.
This voice echoed in the hearts of most of the descendants.
Then, this voice spread like a virus like crazy.
Looking at the heroic soldiers wearing fine armor beside Zhang Qi,
The surrendered soldiers of the Han army couldn't help but feel envious. If they were dressed like this today, it would be hard to predict the outcome of the war.
After finishing what he wanted to say, Zhang Qi didn't want to listen to the generous words of these surrendered soldiers.
Just as he said.
He could stay or escape, he could accept both outcomes.
As for whether they will rebel.
hehe.
Do they try?
Leaving one battalion in silence, Zhang Qi and the others went to another battalion.
The same words, the same five hundred fat sheep.
At the end there was the same silence.
one night.
Zhang Qi said the same sentence seventeen times.
Before dawn, they returned to the military stronghold that the Han army had repaired to rest.
And this time I slept in the afternoon.
Wait for Zhang Qi to wake up.
It’s time for the sunset to be infinitely beautiful.
The fact that he was able to sleep for so long indicates that everything is going well for the army and the soldiers.
Otherwise, someone would have woken him up long ago.
"Your Majesty, big leg of lamb, hehe, it's delicious, roasted by Hu Er."
As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhang Qi saw a big face next to him.
He was startled, but when he heard the voice, he felt relieved.
Hu Er.
His absolute killer.
"Don't eat."
Zhang Qi patted Hu Er's head angrily.
The latter still had a silly smile on his face.
When he heard that Zhang Qi refused to eat, he started to eat it himself.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
"."
Get out of the big tent.
The soldiers coming and going saluted and said hello, and then hurried back to life.
There were only a few days to treat the wounded soldiers. These soldiers only knew the most basic battlefield first aid. Zhang Qi did not bring anyone from the medical team this time.
even so.
The mortality rate of the wounded soldiers also greatly shocked some of the Han troops who helped.
On the battlefield yesterday.
A tall pile of firewood was erected.
On it lay the soldiers who died yesterday.
Wait until after dinner.
Tens of thousands of Zhang Qi's soldiers gathered here.
Accompanied by the prayers of the gods, the green smoke curled away the blessings of the living for the dead.
The fire burned all night.
Early the next morning, four hundred and thirty clay pots were piled together.
Amidst a burst of cheers, Zhang Qi brought them into the world of riding and slashing.
——
"City Lord! A large number of Han troops have gathered in Shangjun. Mr. Zhang Bo sent back a secret message that the Han Dynasty is preparing to take back the military power of the border counties!"
Shanhai City.
An urgent alarm sounded in the city lord's mansion.
Hu Ling, who was dealing with recent complex material information, paused in her movements.
"It's time to come."
"Order the tigers and eagles to attack the two armies and immediately send troops to the right of Beiping!"
"Zuan Xuan Army, three new armies take turns guarding Shanhaiguan day and night!"
"Every channel is under strict security, no entry is allowed, no exit is allowed, all supplies are taken by water, notify the navy, any non-friendly ships on the sea are allowed to attack first and ask questions later!"
"In addition, Liaoning is guarding the Grassland Passage, and Changchun is guarding the Daxing Passage."
"The entire territory is on combat readiness immediately!"
"promise!"
At this moment, Hu Ling's face was full of heroism, without any hint of weakness.
Homing pigeons are flying.
For a time, everyone in Zhang Qi's territory entered a state of combat readiness that had been practiced countless times in an orderly manner.
Weapons and leather armor were distributed in large quantities.
This is true even in Changchun and Liaoning, which are far behind.
Women and students, as long as they are over fourteen years old, are eligible to carry weapons with them.
In every city, bows and crossbows are placed in the most conspicuous places. Whenever enemies invade the territory, anyone can hold a crossbow.
Various resources began to be adjusted.
Canning production was already at full capacity, and the water forges and smelting furnaces were recruiting people on a large scale again. Everything was being prepared for the upcoming war.
