Chapter 416 Residual Heat

If Chu Lixuan knew what the leader was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud, but he wouldn't laugh if he knew about his strict personality.

At this time, he was sleeping happily and sweetly with his daughter-in-law in his arms, while the others were all working on the farm without sleep.

Most people are chopping down trees to build stables, and some people are washing their horses. Anyway, they are very busy.

And the King of Zhenbei took his soldiers to attack Wuritu after breakfast. The North Vietnamese soldiers had recovered after two hours of rest.

They just happened to be full of fire and had nowhere to vent. In this battle, both sides played to the extreme, and they fought happily and drippingly before they thumped their drums and closed their troops.

In the scolding between Wuritu and the King of Zhenbei, the North Vietnamese people knew about this battle, and the Zhenbei Army did not get any benefits.

The horses of their North Vietnam were snatched by the people of Emperor Dongchen, and Wuritu could only negotiate verbally with King Zhenbei to strike.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Zhenbei Army lost more than 30,000 people, and the North Vietnamese Army lost about 50,000.

The third prince is the vanguard officer this time, and has no right to speak. The second prince, the supervisor, has the right to speak, but he was so frightened that he stayed in the room and did not come out.

King Zhenbei was seriously injured, and he also wanted to strike. The two sides happily decided that the army of 300,000 people brought out by Wuritu was only 200,000.

Of the 200,000 war horses that    brought out, there were less than 50,000 left. Among them, there were war horses that died in battle. They didn't get any benefit from North Vietnam.

King Zhenbei lost a total of 100,000 soldiers in this battle, including more than 10,000 wounded soldiers.

This war ended in three days before and after, and the only person who benefited was Chu Lixuan, but the King of Zhenbei didn't know, and the North Vietnamese Army didn't even know of Chu Lixuan's existence.

King Zhenbei returned to the military camp and counted the disabled soldiers. There were nearly 10,000 soldiers, he said with a heartbroken head.

"You paid the price for the Dongchen court, and they were going to reward you well, but as everyone knows, the court not only has no military pay, but also requires us to hand over food and grass.

You can choose to stay and follow this king, and you will survive after two months of starvation, or you can choose to go to Sludge Town, or you can choose to retire and go home. "

King of Zhenbei calculated that all these 10,000 wounded soldiers would go to Sludge Town in exchange for two months' rations.

At the same time, he can save a lot of medicinal materials and food, so that the best of both worlds can not be found under the lantern, he is very happy.

However, as the supreme commander-in-chief of Zhenbei King, he was embarrassed to say directly that he wanted to exchange them for food, which would be too cold for the hearts of the soldiers.

The disabled soldiers also remembered that a few months ago, they made bricks every day in Slump Town, and every meal was full.

Although they are disabled, they can still make bricks, but I don't know if Master Chu wants them!

"My lord, take them to Sludge Town at the end!" said a crippled general.

Because he is a general, he knows most of the inside story. Last time, they were soldiers who were disabled while hunting wild beasts.

There are also old and weak people who came to join them, and they exchanged a lot of food with Master Chu, which is a pity! The food was handed over to the court.

"Huaicheng, have you really decided? Your Wei family is still very important in the capital. Just because you are a third-rank general, if you return to the capital, you can find a spare job and get a royal salary."

The King of Zhenbei also valued Wei Huaicheng very much. The Wei family was a great family in the Dongchen Kingdom, although he did not have a chancellor to visit him.

However, the Wei family's children were both civil and military, and the children below the third grade were the most, and were highly valued by the emperor.

"Huaicheng thanked the Lord for his kindness. This time he was seriously injured to his leg. The doctor in the army concluded that he was lame in this life. What else can he hope for? The last will go to Lumpy Town to make bricks and spend the rest of his life."

At this time, Wei Huaicheng didn't know that his clansmen were already on their way to Sludge Town!

Wei Huaicheng is Wei Dabin's sixth uncle. He is thirty-five years old this year. He has been in the north with the King of Zhenbei for 18 years.

From a soldier to a third-rank hussar general, his wife and children are all in the capital, and he married the daughter of the Nie family, so his parents and parents-in-law are all on their way to Lanni Town.

Wei Huaicheng thought that he was crippled and that he had no face to go back to the capital to see his family, so he wanted to stay in Lengni Town to make bricks, farm the land, and live the rest of his life in peace.

During the Chinese New Year, when their Zhenbei Army lived in Lanni Town, Wei Dabin and the others were mining iron ore in the deep mountains and making weapons.

Therefore, what Wei Huaicheng and the others saw were old and new criminals, but, as a third-rank general, he had seen Chu Lixuan and his wife.

"Since Huaicheng has made a decision, then this king will not persuade him much. If you have any difficulties, you can come back to this king." King Zhenbei said sincerely.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I will leave now." Wei Huaicheng made a big gift and then retire.

He wanted to make some contribution to the Zhenbei Army in the end, and took the 10,000 disabled soldiers to exchange a batch of food for the brothers to eat.

Wei Huaicheng said loudly to the disabled soldiers: "We are going to Lannii Town, and we can exchange two months' worth of food for the brothers to eat. You can go with this general, or you can choose to stay, and there will be in a few days. Food is eaten."

"End general, willing to follow the general to go to Sludge Town."

"My subordinates are willing to go with the general."

Those who want to go with them are all good soldiers and strong generals, and they have no weak soldiers, and they all go willingly.

Although they are going to exchange food, their belief is to use the last shreds of energy for the court, which is their honor.

Those soldiers and minions were just shouting and cheering at the back, so none of them were injured. Those who were injured were the elite soldiers who rushed in front.

There are also robbers who were accidentally injured. They were originally soft bones. I heard that they can return for food soon, so they must choose to stay in the Zhenbei military camp.

Neither King Zhenbei nor General Wei Huaicheng would force anyone. King Zhenbei thought that they also needed people to farm the land now.

Therefore, he expressed that he was very welcome to those who stayed, as long as someone was willing to exchange food, it was enough.

The people who stayed have seen that the prince not only did not dislike them, but also said encouraging words to them. They felt that their choice was very tactful.

Wei Huaicheng and the others arrived in Sludge Town three days later, only to realize how wise their decision was.

This time, Ice Soul brought his subordinates to send them. Although the people sent this time were all disabled soldiers, they used to be elite soldiers.

King Zhenbei didn't know if it was guilt or because he was about to get food soon. He instructed the Huotou Army to make all the surplus food into dry food.

is enough for more than 9,000 people to eat along the way, so Wei Huaicheng and the others are also grateful to the King of Zhenbei.

The enthusiasm of the people in the castle has been high for three days and has not cooled down. Everyone is working hard at the moment.

heard the major general guarding the castle galloping by on horseback, shouting to find the husband and wife of Master Chu.
