Chapter 637 Choice
In the middle of the night, a red-faced [-] army attacked the camp of the Dali army.

Looking at it from a distance, the small town in front of it was as calm as ever, and it was difficult for people who didn't know it to think that it was a place already occupied by the enemy army.

"Why are you so calm? Is the news they gave accurate?" A red-faced general on a horse hesitated.

"Calmness means that they have relaxed their vigilance." Another person said, "And they should be in direct contact with the princess. The princess trusts him, so don't worry about it."

"Okay then, let's move forward, we must take back our city tonight."

The red-faced general opened the defense map of the Dali army sent by Xiao Ji, and after looking at it for a while, he decided on the route of attack: "The defense here is the weakest, let's advance from here. Then to the west gate, the person who sent the map said , when the time comes, someone will open the city gate for us from the inside."

"it is good!"

At three o'clock, the red-faced army arrived outside the west gate of the small town and immediately launched an attack.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the battle started, Cheng Mian was opened from the inside, and the red-faced army was overjoyed.

"Come on! Kill Dali Dog! Take back our city."

The Dali army in the city seemed to have been demoralized by this sudden change, and they were no longer as brave as before. Instead, they threw away their helmets and armor as soon as the red-faced army entered the city, and fled in a panic.

"The Dali dog is scared! The Dali dog is scared!" Seeing this, the general of the red-faced army chased after him, "Catch me! Cut off their heads and take them back to receive the reward!"

There used to be 2 soldiers in this city, [-] were transferred away by Xiao Ruming a few days ago, now only [-] are left.Xie Sheng took the [-] horses and ran westward desperately.I ran until dawn before I dared to stop for a while.

"Thank you general, the red-faced army is catching up!" The scouts came to report, "Visual estimate of 2 people!"

"Damn!" Xie Sheng spat, put on his helmet again and got on his horse, "Notify everyone, keep going!"

Running until dusk, the [-] troops ran into a valley like a dead end—there was no way ahead.

……

"Hahahaha, these Dali dogs don't know the terrain at all, and they ran into Budai Valley." The red-faced general chasing the fleeing Dali army was very excited, as if the [-] Dali army had become his. The captive, "was looking for his own death."

"Rush! Capture them alive!"

The [-] red-faced troops marched forward rapidly, marching towards their exploits with full expectation.

However, after they also entered Budai Valley, another team appeared silently like ghosts on the road they passed, and followed their tracks towards the entrance of the valley.

……

Xie Sheng's army could not enter the innermost side of Budai Valley, so they knew they had arrived at the place they agreed on.He sat on the horse, took out the dry food that he stuffed into his pocket last night and slowly gnawed.

This dry food is made of a mixture of wheat and potatoes. In order to preserve it for a long time, it is baked very hard, hard to the teeth.

"Damn it." Xie Sheng took two bites and helped his teeth, "I'd better wait until I get back to eat some hot food."

As soon as the idea came up, I heard a faint movement coming from Taniguchi's direction.

coming!

The spirits of everyone in the Dali army were shocked—the fish were about to take the bait!

"General, do you want to rush?" Xie Sheng's lieutenant couldn't wait any longer, eager to try.

"Rush at your mother!" Xie Sheng stuffed the dry food into his arms and slapped him with his hand. "Old Xiao and the others don't know when they will be able to seal their mouths. I'm just afraid of scaring them away."

"The last general understands, the general is far-sighted." The lieutenant shrank his neck, he was too excited.

……

On the third day of November in the ninth year of Yuanheng, Xie Sheng and Xiao Ruming cooperated to capture 8000 red-faced soldiers alive in Budai Valley.

After the discussion, they went to the imperial court and escorted all these 8000 people back to Dali, and asked them to open up wasteland and grow potatoes.

Zuo Qiuyue approved.

So the supply battalion that came to deliver the rations had a new return mission—to escort the captives back to Dali.

Because of the special and complicated terrain in Chimian territory, after the army went deep, Qi Xian went to the battle to escort the rations himself: "You guys will really find me a job."

"Hehehe, thank you for your hard work, brother Qixian." Xie Sheng's skin was much darker than when he was in Huazhou before, and he couldn't cover his whites in winter. He smiled and showed his big white teeth. The benefit of Taoism, they all go to Henan Road to open up wasteland."

Although Henan Province is located in the Central Plains, there are still a lot of wastelands waiting to be reclaimed in the marginal areas.

A few years ago, there was a famine in Guannei Road, and a large number of people fled to Henan Road. On the [-]th, Meng Changhuai was ordered to organize a land reclamation.Register the fleeing people one by one, and take them to the junction of Henan Province and Duji Province to open up wasteland and cultivate land.It is promised that they will reclaim a certain amount of wasteland and settle there for more than three years, and then they will be given Henan Province household registration and enjoy all the welfare policies of Henan Province.

"Brother, I don't work hard, life is hard." Qi Xiandao, "Food is dead, but people are alive. Transporting them is much more difficult than transporting food."

"Don't worry about this." Xie Shengwen said, "I have told them in advance what will happen to the [-] Tule prisoners in the surrendered city in the northern border. If they dare to be dishonest, they will be like them."

The story of Xiao Yan beheading [-] Tule prisoners of war in Shoujiang City has already spread to surrounding countries. No matter how everyone evaluates his actions, his frightening image on the battlefield has been firmly established.Coupled with the more and more mysterious Golden Armored Soldier, many people have regarded him as the reincarnation of the God of War, born to kill.

This actually coincides with Henan Dao's evaluation of him and Shishi in the past. In short, they are all related to the gods.

"By the way, how is Brother Tong Yang?" Xie Sheng asked Tong Yang, "Are you still guarding Huangliang?"

"Before I came here, the master issued an order to transfer him and Zhong Yanqing to the northern battlefield to support Ah Yan and the others." Qi Xian said, "If you count the days, you should have arrived a few days earlier."

"Let's not talk about us, tell me how you two managed to capture 8000 people alive?" Qi Xian was very curious about this.The Dali army has been stationed in this small city for two or three months, and the red-faced army did not dare to take the initiative to attack, so why did they suddenly send troops over?
"This..." Xie Sheng hesitated to speak, "Old Xiao is writing a memorial to His Majesty and the Marshal, you can ask him when he is free."

……

Five days later, a corpse was thrown outside the west gate of the small town, with a wooden sign tied to it: Xiao Ruming's father, Xiao Ji.

Dali's soldiers immediately brought him into the barracks and reported to Xiao Ruming.

For this result, Xiao Ruming was not surprised.He calmly asked someone to carry the body back to his residence, washed his wound with his own hands, put on clean clothes, and buried him in a coffin.

"Father, forgive my child for being unfilial. To exchange your life for the lives of hundreds of Xiao's entire family, my child thinks this choice is right."

"There is one thing I never told you. The first child my mother conceived back then was actually a girl. My elder brother who died early was not from the Xiao family of Huazhou, but the current queen is."
