Chapter 1404 Famine and Natural Disaster 562
"Dark Three."

"My subordinate is here."

An San walked into the tent, bowed and listened attentively.

"Call the generals and others to gather and rush to the Central Plains station."

"Here!"

An San took the order and left. Zhou Ting looked at Qian Youde and said, "Wait outside and go with the soldiers."

"Yes!"

Qian Youde received the order and left the main account.

Zhou Ting pulled out a Hetian jade seed hairpin from his bosom, held it in his hand, and slowly placed it against his chest; this hairpin was once used by Mingyi, but she had so many jewelries that she couldn't even remember some of them, so Zhou Ting took one and kept it with her.

"It will be soon. We will meet soon."

Five years have passed, and the remnants of the Central Plains who have survived are all people who have rolled in the pile of dead bodies; among them, countless sinners have committed so many sins that they no longer feel the evil. Once such people witness the prosperity of the northwest, their sinful souls will revive, which will be a disaster for ordinary people.

How could he let such a person into the Northwest?

So what if they were refugees? How many refugees who survived with difficulty did not commit sins? In order to survive, in the most cruel and vicious environment of human nature, even the kindest people would be implicated.

Rather than letting them go to the northwest to test human nature, it is better to kill the wrong ones and not let them go.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Northwest and the eldest son of the Zhou Palace in the Northwest. It is his duty to protect the people in the territory.

He did not regret the order he had given; fortunately, Mingyi had the same idea as him, and their souls were in tune with each other, moving forward towards the same goal together.

"Sir, the troops have been assembled."

"set off!"

"Here."

He wrapped the hairpin in a handkerchief and placed it against his chest, then put on a thick cotton coat and armor, held a long sword, and strode out of the tent.

The hidden three followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the training ground, the troops were ready to go.

Zhou Ting said to the general, "Let's go!"

"Yes! I will obey your command."

The general guarding the country bowed and issued military orders.

The Northwest Army is ready to set off.

Zhou Ting rode on horseback, with An San following closely beside him; each general led the people in his own camp and advanced in a mighty and orderly manner.

The accumulation of mud on the road was too great, and the journey was severely hampered. The journey which should have taken fifteen minutes took an hour.

The soldiers were dressed warmly and were constantly moving, so they were not very cold; however, some young generals were riding horses, and the fierce wind made it even colder.

Arriving at the Central Plains Army’s base, Zhou Ting and his companions tightened their reins and stopped at the gate.

In the past, if they dared to stop at the gate, they would be shot into a hornet's nest; now, standing on their territory, it was surprisingly deserted.

Another gust of cold wind blew by, lifting up the snowflakes on the ground that had not yet completely frozen, filling the Central Plains garrison with a sad and silent atmosphere.

"It's too quiet." The general rode his horse to the side of the commander-in-chief and looked at the camp where he had once wished that everyone inside would die; when the moment really came, he felt sad again.

The sorrow of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the sorrow of the kings and princes in the Central Plains who are not human beings, and the sorrow of the people who struggle desperately but can only live in sin.

Zhou Ting stared at the camp in front of him, disgust in his eyes, and said calmly, "Clean up the camp and gather the dead together; when the weather gets better, burn them all and scatter the ashes into the mountains."

"Commander." The general was shocked and tried to dissuade him, "They were once our comrades."

When a person dies, all debts are settled.

Why grind the dead to dust?
Zhou Ting replied coldly, "Do you think the soldiers can bury so many corpses? Moreover, too many corpses will cause plague and disease if not handled in time. The best way is to burn them and scatter the ashes into the mountains, so that everything can return to dust. They committed many crimes during their lifetime. After death, what's wrong with returning everything they have to heaven and earth to nourish the soil? I am accumulating virtue for them."

The general was deeply shocked. Is this the right reason to grind a person to dust?
Why does he feel that the coach hates these people so much?

The general didn't understand, but he obeyed the order.

He was already old, and this was the first time he had heard such horrifying remarks; grinding a hundred thousand corpses into dust and scattering them into ashes was a shocking act!

The military order was issued, and the soldiers dug out the people buried in the snow. The battalion commander was frozen, so they broke a corner, cut open the tent, dragged out the frozen people and piled them in a corner of the camp, waiting for the weather to warm up to deal with them as soon as possible.

It took a full eight days to dig out the bodies of everyone in the Central Plains garrison, even the bodies of the powerful kings and princes.

The general saw several corpses of his political enemies inside. Why did he, a general who defended the country, come to the northwest to guard the city? Why did he become an official under the King of Zhou? It was inevitable that he was excluded by these people and the power and connections they held were squeezed.

It's because he came from a grassroots background and has a weak foundation.

Fortunately, King Zhou was kind and accepted him, who was obviously a spy sent by the court. Later, he seized the opportunity to surrender and achieved his current status.

Seeing that chaos was about to break out in the Central Plains, he quietly reunited with his family early on. The reason they have a stable and prosperous life today is due to his own sense of taste and the fact that he was not loyal to the court; it is also due to the kindness of the King of Zhou who was in power and the benevolence of his son, who later came to power.

Witnessing with his own eyes the miserable deaths of these people, he felt relieved and seemed to understand a little bit why the coach was determined to grind their bones and scatter their ashes.

The Central Plains garrison has been cleaned up, what should be piled up has been piled up, and the supplies that should be counted have been counted and taken away; no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and today the frugal Northwest Army has got it!

The last army from the Central Plains was wiped out, and Pingyang Pass was no longer a threat. Zhou Ting reorganized the army and returned to Pingyang Pass, and the first thing he did was to go straight to his temporary home.

The guards in the mansion were so delighted to see the prince returning with his men that they could not express their feelings in words.

"Your Highness, are you all right? I greet you, Your Highness."

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

Zhou Ting's eyes swept over them one by one and went straight to the backyard.

"The prince is in a hurry to see Miss Cheng and has no time to deal with us."

"Why would you bother with us? Are we any good people? I haven't seen Miss Cheng for more than two months. Now that I'm back, I must be thinking about her."

They all understood and just joked quietly.

Zhou Ting walked quickly into the backyard and stepped into the courtyard where Mingyi was, and bumped into Mingyi who was out for a walk.

When he wasn't seeing the person, he missed her terribly; when he saw the person, he felt timid when he saw her.

Ming Yi didn't have so many thoughts. Seeing Zhou Ting, she was filled with joy and rushed into his arms. "Chao Sheng, you're back. You've become thinner and more haggard. Will you go to the battlefield again this time? How's the battle going?"

With the delicate body in his arms, Zhou Ting couldn't help but put his hands around her slender and resilient waist, and couldn't help but use some strength; he leaned over and held her in his arms, his handsome face pressed against the back of her head, rubbing it gently.

Between the wings of his nose was her unique body fragrance, so sweet that it seemed to envelop his entire body, making his body tinged with her scent.

"Yi Yi asked so many questions, which one should I answer first?" He asked in a hoarse and low voice. The warmth and softness in his arms softened his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth for the first time in a long time, and the tense heartstrings affected by the war for many days were relieved with pride.
