Heavenly Dao Formula

In the afternoon, a good news came from the Right-Route Army.

　　 Xu Sanchong’s troops were located more than 120 miles northwest of Anshen, and intercepted a Yazhou force that wanted to join the main force.

　　 Xu Guerrilla ordered a thousand-man troop to ride a fast boat straight into the side of the troop, forming a flanking attack with the frontal attacking troop. Seeing that the flanks were wrapped up and there was no camp fortifications to rely on, the Yazhou Army almost turned into a rout before it lasted. Command Xu led the army to cover up and kill, chasing for fifty miles, annihilating more than 3,000 enemies, and taking 2,500 prisoners. Only then did the team return to Anshen City.

Because it is a mobile combat, although it has not achieved the effect of a fixed-point wipeout like Ning Wanjun did, the Yazhou Army lost more than half of it and was killed like a duck all the way. It has basically been regarded as an organizational elimination, and it is unlikely to threaten again. To the town of Shenzhou.

　　On the way back to Jinxia, ​​Gan saw a large number of flat ice boats carrying people. They were connected in the first place, and there was almost no end in sight.

　　 The people on the boat were sitting on the straw mats with a numb face, shaking all over from the cold, obviously not like ordinary travelers.

　　 Can you say that they are criminals...Each ship has hundreds of people on board, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people. Unless it is a severe torture law, how can there be so many criminals in Shenzhou?

　　 He couldn't bear to ask for thousands of words and asked what these people had committed, but the answer he got stunned.

　　 "Ask them... they are all prisoners sent back from the front." Qianyan said.

　　 "Captive? From the Privy Council army?"

　　 "Otherwise? No one else has invaded Shenzhou, right." Qianyan shrugged-others might care about Yuyi's identity, but she didn't care at all. Over the centuries, she has seen many people at this level, some of whom are her friends and some are her enemies.

　　 But now, only she is still alive.

"The moment you discourage the failure of the Privy Council, Jinxia City launched a counterattack against the enemy. With the temperament of the three princesses, it is not easy for the other party to cross the boundary line." She looked at the flat boat on the river. Said, "By the way, these ships were originally used to transport seafood and food, and the transporters were not the main business of the Fang family. But I heard that the front-line Privy Council was defeated too quickly, and there were so many captured people that they could not be placed properly. We can only urgently call the ice ship to transport them back to Jinxia."

　　The battle has begun.

　　 was defeated too fast.

　　 are all prisoners.

　　 Three pieces of information shook his mind in turn, making him wonder whether he should be happy or sad for a while.

　　 or both.

　　 What is sad is that his last attempt still ended in failure, presumably many people will lose their lives because of this unnecessary war. The happy part is that there are too many captives, which means that the number of war dead will be reduced accordingly, and the overall loss will not be so heavy.

　　 It's just that he has been fighting for the Privy Council for half of his life, but now he is happy because the Privy Council army was defeated too quickly. This extremely contradictory feeling makes it difficult for Gan Ye to adapt for a while. It was precisely this kind of complex emotions that took turns to impact that made him unable to help but produce a new kind of confusion.

　　 Is everything that I see true?

　　 When did the Privy Council become so vulnerable?

　　 Also before... The seemingly underage girl in front of me, holding a square magic weapon, killed the alchemists who were chasing her one by one. One of them was Master Gen, who had wrapped his body in rock and soil before he died, but he ended up no different from the others. Ask yourself dryly, even if you are a pursuer, it is impossible to avoid this kind of attack that the naked eye can't detect. Even if it is not killed in a single blow, there is no way to counteract it.

　　 As for what the artifact was, he never asked about it along the way.

　　Because it is clear that this is by no means just a problem of a magic weapon.

　　——It involves more profound magical principles behind it.

　　 If he can't think of a kind of alchemy that can achieve such an effect, it proves that the lack of relevant knowledge in the Privy Council is not only a little bit, but it is probably a whole large branch.

　　 This conclusion makes it hard to say.

　　 After all, just half a year ago, the core members of the Privy Council believed that the Gyeonggi Headquarters was the strongest and most advanced force in Qiguo. Compared with the government, they are more flexible in recruiting talents. Compared with aristocratic families, their ideas can move people's hearts, and the results of the struggle with the two have also proved this point. The imperial court has no power to resist since the First World War in Wanjing Tower, and the agitated people in the family have turned their backs one after another, becoming the backbone of the Privy Council.

　　 At that time, everyone was full of ambitions, thinking that they could establish a new dynasty beyond the eternal dynasty. Unexpectedly, after half a year, they would become the lagging side.

　　 What the Privy Council did to the court and the family, now seems to be performed again in the Privy Council itself.

　　 Such a huge gap is impossible to say without a trace of loss.

　　 After being speechless for a long time, Gancai spoke again, "How will Jinxia City treat these prisoners?"

　　 "According to the past practice of the bureau, it is estimated that it depends on how they choose."

　　 "What are the general choices?"

　　 "If there are no special crimes, there are basically these kinds of things to settle, work, join the army, or go home."

　　 This answer made Gan stunned again.

　　 Wait... he didn't ask the wrong question, right? What is the choice to go home? Do these people just say they want to leave, Jinxia will let them go?

　　 With unbelievable thoughts, he asked this sentence carefully-no matter what, this method is too abstract~www.readwn.com~ He can't imagine it.

　　 As a result, the other party’s answer did not have the slightest ambiguity, "Yes, it means literally. The bureau will also issue severance pay, usually two or threes."

　　 "..." Why don't you know what to say, among the four choices, only joining the army is within his scope of understanding. After all, in addition to conscription, another major expansion method for the army is to reorganize prisoners. This is often the best place for the defeated. Others, such as hard labor, reclamation, slavery, and even execution, are common methods of disposal. He knew that Jinxia City was different, and Ning Wanjun's temperament was far from tyrannical, but he still didn't expect to hear such an answer.

　　 "Why does the princess spend the energy to transport them back to Jinxia City?" Qian felt that his mind was a little overwhelming, "this expense is not necessary?"

Since there is a choice of returning home, it must be the first choice of most soldiers. It spends money and manpower to bring the prisoners back to Jinxia, ​​but it is to change a place to let the family leave, and they have to lose several days of food and money. It's really hard to understand. If a thousand words are true, then demobilization on the spot is the easiest way to do so.

"You don't think that returning home is the best choice, right?" Qian Yan glanced at Yuyi, showing a look that I knew you would think so, "In fact, among the prisoners I met in the past, there were not many. Will pick the last item."

　　 "How is it possible?" Gan was surprised.

　　 "When you arrive at Jinxia, ​​you will naturally understand." Her words were full of exclamation, "I have seen so many people in my life as stars, but Xia Fan is the scariest one in terms of the ability to read human hearts."
