The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

The situation has become more complicated. Although there are other countermeasures here, this feeling of being seen through is really uncomfortable. No wonder Mo Chenwen was so afraid of himself before. Ling Xuan stood on the balcony watching Looking at the scenery outside, after invading the city, there will be a lot of food and grass, and then there will be nearby detection.

Mo Chenwen can't let him do things now, but after Chu Ziyan went back to deal with it, he had nothing to do with Ling Xuan, or Ling Xuan had to stop and start thinking about his next move.

It doesn't feel good to have the plan disrupted. Ling Xuan sighed slightly. It would be great if he could pass through Liuzhou. If he went directly to the economic inner city, then Chu State could be resolved within two years. Now it seems It's time to fight a protracted battle, but Mo Chenwen firmly said that if you give that person enough time, it will be enough to grow up.

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, I don’t want to drag the battle line for such a long time. Ling Xuan looked at the busy soldiers below and rubbed his forehead, but no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn’t be in a hurry. Taboo.

Chu Ziyan and Yong Yong are now also unanimously boycotting their going to the Chu state's government, and they don't know what changes have taken place in the formation. Are they specially dealing with my formation?What kind of formation is that?

After Shao Ziqian opened the door and came in, he found Ling Xuan who was doing nothing on the balcony, "My lord."

"Ziqian." Ling Xuan waved his hand to signal Shao Ziqian to come over, "Do you know this?"

Shao Ziqian went to the balcony and looked at what Ling Xuan was pointing at. It was a slightly worn-out cage covered with rags. The soldiers below seemed to be thinking about what to do with it, "It seems to be a military prostitute, right?"

"Really?" Ling Xuan stared blankly at the dilapidated cage, "I thought people like Wei Cang wouldn't allow such people to exist?"

"Different from us, the soldiers of the imperial dynasty have replacement soldiers at the border every year during the holidays when they return home, and there is also a situation where a family lives at the border, but Chu State does not have this policy." Shao Ziqian looked down, "That's why this situation exists."

"That's true." Ling Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Go ahead and tell them. If there is no need for medical treatment or the idea of ​​living, then kill him and bury him on the spot."

"How necessary is the need for treatment?" Shao Ziqian asked after a pause.

"Probably." Ling Xuan lay on the balcony and pointed down, "It's like that he no longer has the ability to survive independently." At the same time, the upper limbs are scarred and just barely 'alive'.

Even the ability to speak has been lost, and he is just struggling to breathe in the corner. He probably met someone with a special hobby. Ling Xuan looked away and looked into the distance. How many such existences are there in this city? , Shao Ziqian beside him turned and left after answering.

Wei Cang, do you know that your soldiers are like this?Ling Xuan pulled his clothes back together. He has been at the border for a month, but he doesn’t know what will happen to the winter, and the handling of prisoners of war is also very problematic. Now there is no food source at all. How to raise a person?

What's more, we have to separate people to detain these people. How should we continue to fight after that? Ling Xuan looked at the rare sunny day, and today was relatively good. When the weather is cold, should the prisoners of war give them charcoal fire?

It is of course the best if benevolent government can be implemented, and it will be beneficial to us if it is spread, but righteousness is not so easy to obtain.

I still know too little about war. Ling Xuan rubbed his neck and stretched his cape to go out. Yin Tianming stood at the door and saw Ling Xuan coming out and nodded, "Where are you going?"

"I want to hear how Chu Ziyan handles prisoners of war." Ling Xuan wore a white fox fur cloak and looked at Yin Tianming, "Do you want to go together?"

"If I could know." Yin Tianming stood up straight and said.

"Let's go then."

Chu Ziyan was not in the main tent, but was discussing the next thing on a large table made up of several tables in the dining room. When Ling Xuan came in, several generals were talking fiercely.

Probably three roads, one group advocated going through the mountains and forests from the right of Liuzhou, and some insisted on going through Liuzhou. We are also familiar with the explosives. It is indeed a good idea to deal with them properly, and they also captured Jinzhou from the left.

Chu Ziyan never opened his mouth until he saw Ling Xuan coming in, "What's the matter?"

"I came here to ask about the handling of prisoners of war." Ling Xuan took off his white cloak and said, "Did I bother you?"

"How many prisoners of war are left?" Chu Ziyan turned around and asked the lieutenant beside him.

"About 5000 people."

"That's it." After Chu Ziyan finished asking, he turned to Ling Xuan and said.

"Is that all?" Only give the number of people?

"I thought you came here to find a solution." Chu Ziyan shrugged, "Although I want to deal with it like before, it seems impossible."

The dynasties are used as coolies or recruited, but that is normal, the situation is different now, the chaos caused by the merger, and there is also a problem with sending 5000 people to the country as slaves. It is also difficult to send [-] people to the country in winter.

A general suddenly said, "It's better to send this group of people to Liuzhou, so that the gunpowder can be disposed of."

This is a good idea, Ling Xuan moved slightly, Chu Ziyan shook his head, "No."

"It is precisely because our side has always treated the prisoners of war well that so many people surrendered." Dong Yong said lightly, "If word spreads, then the subsequent battles will become more and more difficult to fight."

"Pay attention to this too."

There is also this point, Ling Xuan picked a chair at the door and sat down, "Do you want to let him go? You can survive the winter and you don't have the ability to continue fighting."

"And if we let go now, where will this group of people go?" Ling Xuan asked suddenly.

The one closest to here is naturally Liuzhou, and then Jinzhou on the left. Where will this group of people go? Chu Ziyan thought for a while, "Release the prisoners of war in the eastern district, and let them go through the back gate."

This is very interesting. If the city is abandoned, do the soldiers here know that Liuzhou buried explosives? Even if they go to Liuzhou and die, it has nothing to do with us. After all, our side is very kind to let people go. If you want to blame it, blame the person who buried the explosives.

Even if you didn't go to Liuzhou and went to Jinzhou, you can mix our people in and arrange them in Jinzhou, just to bear the risk of the increase of the opponent's troops.

There is also the leak of information, and Ling Xuan's identity will not be used later, so we have to think about it again.

Troublesome things really piled up. Ling Xuan sat by the side and emptied himself in the same way as Chu Ziyan. Several generals were still arguing endlessly. Ling Xuan stood up after listening for a long time without hearing any useful news. out.

General Ping Ding is also coming soon, what will he do with his words, Ling Xuan is stepping on the snow compacted by the crowd and thinking aimlessly, the battlefield is not my area of ​​expertise.

"Let's go to the government." Yin Tianming turned his head slightly to look at Ling Xuan and said suddenly.

"Oh? Are you going to the government now?" Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment, "But it's dangerous, and I will change the formation if that person counts. I don't know what the formation is for me. Too dangerous and not enough information."

"Don't you still have an identity?" Yin Tianming looked into Ling Xuan's arms, "Prince, don't you?"

"Ziyan's life experience." Ling Xuan touched the envelope in his arms, "It's unreasonable for the man in the palace not to know, after all, he is the blood of the royal family, and it was written down in a letter?"

"But isn't it strange?" Yin Tianming said suddenly, "If he really knows why such an obvious flaw is not used, if the news is exposed, it is impossible for Chu Ziyan to be believed by the soldiers again, right? Now that the scandal of Chu's bloodliness is out of control, isn't it important?"

Because it's Chu Ziyan, compared to the value of Chu Ziyan, it doesn't matter if this kind of scandal spreads. People who can bury all the explosives in Liuzhou and abandon the border will not care about the so-called scandal, that is to say , 'that person' doesn't know about it.

Ling Xuan looked up at the sky, "In this way, I will have a way to go to the government without being recognized."

Having said that, this identity is not necessarily good, Ling Xuan is ashamed, if he knows that there is another prince besides himself, then the first reaction must be to get rid of this person first!

"Has Ling Xuan thought about another solution?" Yin Tianming thought for a while and said, "Look, although you are so obsessed with your identity, Wei Cang is not... In short, this method is also possible. ?”

"With all due respect, the appearance of someone like Wei Cang made me realize that people like you are definitely a minority, okay?" Ling Xuan rolled his eyes, "Normally, you wouldn't be together with someone just because you like someone." Have you given up your position? Those who are still loyal to the motherland like him are normal people."

"On the contrary, those who take refuge in the imperial court like you are different." Ling Xuan finally came to a conclusion, "And how did you come up with that mysterious thought just now? Do you want me to use such an outrageous thing as a beauty trap?!"

"No, you said that there is no beauty trick." Yin Tianming said, looking away.

"Don't be guilty if you have the ability." Ling Xuan crossed his hands behind his head, "Ah, it's really annoying, do you have to think about it now?"

"So why don't you go to see the government? What if it's a bluff?" Yin Tianming looked at Ling Xuan, "It's really not like you to shrink back like this."

"Because I've always had an ominous premonition in my heart, it's better to be careful before it disappears." Ling Xuan put down his hands and sighed, "It's really troublesome, I'm not good at fighting."

"If you are not good at it, why don't you ask someone who is good at it? Isn't General Ping Ding coming soon?" Yin Tianming thought for a while and said, "Isn't it best to ask such a veteran at this time?"

"You're right. I'll just wait here for General Ping Ding. I hope he won't tell me to go back to the capital." After all, although they seem to have a good relationship, they are not very familiar with General Ding Ding.

Although winter has not passed, it has passed the coldest period of time. Seeing that spring does not seem to be very far away, the next action has also been decided. First, release the prisoners of war and release all the people from the back gate When I went out, I left only a piece of commoner clothes, and everyone was handed out a piece of rough corn bread, which seemed to be found in the dining hall before, and it was not broken because of the cold weather, which is really gratifying.

In short, let people go, and then decide to see where to go under observation, and the next war will require more manpower. Our side also lost thousands of people, so we need to regroup. , and then waited for the arrival of General Ping Ding with the same attention as Ling Xuan.

The news of the border victory should have already been communicated. I don’t know how the emperor’s brother is doing. Has the snow disaster been dealt with?And how the water conservancy preparations for the Spring Festival are going. It seems that I have talked to a boy in the Dongfang Mansion, but I don't remember what the agreement was.

It's really distressing. I start practicing exercises in the morning, and then just wander around in the barracks to see what's going on recently.

There is quite a lot of food left, but there is no need to worry about food. The food transport team is gradually coming, so there is no problem. The border of Chu State is also self-sufficient. There is a lot of cultivated land. A town in the distance, the small town where Ling Xuan went to take a bath before, was also put under control.

Military prostitutes are also here. There are slave traders who sell people here and then buy them and put them in the military camp to become military prostitutes. In other words, these women are all slaves.

Moreover, this small city is really comprehensive, there are also taverns, and there are also small brothels, which makes Ling Xuan speechless. Generally speaking, such a small town will not have such rich facilities, which obviously drags down the army. Fucai even has a casino.

Is such a corrupt life really a soldier?Ling Xuan was also speechless when he was visiting this small town. It is so small that one can ride a horse to visit the whole town in one day. There are not many regular residents living here. The town was established entirely for entertainment.

Chu Ziyan came over to look around and closed all the taverns, brothels and casinos unceremoniously. Naturally, the inn could not continue to operate, "That's how it failed so thoroughly, and it can't be said to be good at all. soldiers."

"That's true." Ling Xuan walked beside Dong Yong and nodded, "It really opened my eyes. Will Wei Cang bring out such soldiers?"

"Except for the personal guards around him, none of them are his soldiers." Dong Yongyong stopped and said, "Wei Cang is the general who leads the soldiers of the imperial city. Presumably he was sent here by celibacy. It is very powerful to be able to do this."

Are you bringing soldiers who are not your own or soldiers whose bodies have been hollowed out by wine and sex?Ling Xuan shook his head, "I don't know who would do that, it's a pity."

"Go back, there's nothing to see." Dong Yong turned around and said.

"En, okay." Ling Xuan turned around and followed Dong Yongyong.
