Wudu.

After the battle was easily won, the military council officer Fa Zheng said to Meng Dayan: "Zijing, don't kill too many people. These Di people are good at farming. We will reorganize these Di people later." The people of Qi can increase their household registration, as Wudu County’s household registration is really low.”

"You don't have to tell me Xiaozhi, I also know it... It's just that the cunning and chief among these Di people still have to be dealt with. There is no big harm to the ordinary Di people, but the cunning and the chief are now temporarily surrendered. , but if there are no strong troops to suppress it, it will incite rebellion if it is not secured. "

Meng Da ordered his soldiers to count the prisoners and select the dignitaries among them, as well as the brave and brave men among them, while responding to Fa Zheng's words.

"This should be the case, don't worry about it in the future." Fazheng nodded. He agreed with Meng Da's proposal. He just didn't want to kill all the captured Di people. After all, these Di people still had some value. Yes, but according to what Meng Da said, it is still okay to kill a little bit, to clear out the ambitious ones among the Di people, and at the same time to scare these Di people with their heads.

Not long after, under the command of Meng Da, the nobles among the Di people and the brave men among them were all beheaded one by one, and their heads were piled on the ground, as if they were intended to be stacked to form a Jingguan, to intimidate the boundaries of Wudu. of Di people.

"It's a little short." Meng Da looked at the Jingguan where the soldiers were stacked up, and he was a little dissatisfied.

Fazheng smiled when he heard this, and explained: "There are many Di tribes that are restless and rebellious. Maybe they can be stacked as high as a palace."

"It's not that exaggerated. How many people would it take to build something as tall as a palace? But if you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible." Meng Da shook his head and did not comment on what Fa Zheng said.

Fazheng half-squinted his eyes and glanced at the sky: "Of course it is possible. Although Dou Mao, the Di king of Hechi, died and his tribe was wiped out, many Di tribes in Wudu County did not seem to be frightened and started trouble whenever they had the opportunity. ...As of today, in addition to the two groups of trouble-making Di tribes that we have dealt with, Xu Meng and Xi Su have also dealt with four or five groups. Considering the exchange of news, maybe Xu Meng and Xi Su's We have defeated six or seven troublemaking groups of Di tribes."

"There are quite a lot of Di people in trouble... It's just that these Di people are really weak in combat. They don't have any decent weapons, and their swords are all rusty and dull..." Meng Da picked up a Di people from the ground that he was fighting against today. It was a used long sword, but the blade was rotten and covered with various patterns of rust, and the blade was covered with large and small gaps. To say that it was scrap metal was a good thing.

"There is also armor." Meng Da picked up another piece of armor used by the Di people: "These Di people don't have armor made of fine iron. All they have is leather armor made of leather. But this leather armor, I’m afraid it wasn’t passed down from the time of Emperor Gao.”

Meng Da pulled the leather armor worn by Di Ren slightly with force. Under normal circumstances, the leather armor should have good defensive capabilities, but he actually tore off a piece of it. It did not have the soft and hard texture of the leather armor, and was soft and rotten as if it were a piece of leather armor. The piece of silk cloth made him frown slightly.

"Di people, even though they have learned how to farm, barbarians are still barbarians after all. Di people can't learn this smelting technique. They can only use the leather passed down from their ancestors." Fa Zheng looked at Meng. He pulled off the piece of leather and let out a sarcastic laugh.

Then Fazheng took another look at the sky, and he urged Mengda: "Let the soldiers gather together, this Di man is a poor man, no matter how much the battlefield is cleaned, nothing good will come out... Let's go back to Hechi now." , I should be able to go back before Hechi County closes."

"Yes." Meng Da nodded, and he gave instructions to his military commanders, camp commanders and other officers, asking them to call on the soldiers under the tent to close their formation and not to go back and forth to clean up the battlefield. When the soldiers heard Meng Da's order through the corps commander, they immediately gave up digging around to search the battlefield, and began to line up under the command of the corps commander to rectify the chaotic situation.

It was also because the Di people really didn't have any good stuff, and the soldiers who looted the battlefield couldn't get much oil and water. Therefore, when faced with the order issued by Meng Da, the soldiers did not show any displeasure or disobedience because they were interrupted from looting the battlefield.

As Fazheng had expected, Mengda's troops, who were currently on their way, rushed back to Hechi before the city gate of Hechi was closed.

Taking advantage of the transition between day and night, and there was still a ray of light at the moment, Meng Da settled his soldiers into the camp, and at the same time called on the cook to offer wine and meat as a reward to the soldiers who fought hard.

As for Fazheng and Mengda, they did not accompany the soldiers to drink and eat meat. They embarked on the road to the official office in Hechi. They wanted to report to Wu Yi, the current governor of Wudu, and file the details of today's battle.

Speaking of which, Wudu County was governed by Xiabian County, so Wu Yi, the prefect of Wudu, should have his office in Xiabian County. However, Wu Yi considered the importance of Hechi as the key point in his march north to Guanzhong, so he temporarily stopped at Hechi to work.

In addition, there is the ongoing raid on Chencang. As the director of logistics affairs, Wu Yi is stationed in Hechi, which is closer to Chencang. Any news exchanges and reports can be received earlier and responded to earlier.

Not long after, Fazheng and Mengda arrived at Wu Yi's office. The house was brightly lit, and several figures were reflected in the lights. Without waiting for a moment, they stepped into the house after making an announcement.

At this time, in the room, in addition to Wu Yi, there were also Xu Meng and Xi Su who had been ordered to calm down the debaters.

After Fazheng greeted him, he smiled and said, "Both Xu Jun and Xi Jun are here. It can be seen that the Di rebellion in Xia Bian has been put down."

Xu Meng responded with a smile: "I was talking about Fajun and Mengjun with Mr. Wu just now, and I was wondering why Fajun and Mengjun still haven't come back... Seeing Fajun and Mengjun now, we can also know that Di Wang Dou Mao’s remnants must have been cleared away.”

"It's natural." Meng Da smiled, and then he told Wu Yi with a straight face the details of today's battle to defeat the remaining troops of King Dou Mao of Di, and returned the military symbols used to mobilize troops.

Wu Yi looked very happy. The remaining troops of King Dou Mao of Di were cleaned up, and the rebellious Di people of Xia Bian were also wiped out. It was a double happiness, but there was also a big happy event in it: "The Di people of Xia Bian" After being destroyed, more than 100,000 Dendrobium grains were harvested."

"That's a real surprise." Fa Zheng smiled. They were in short supply of food and fodder at the moment. Gan Ning and Lou Fa needed food and fodder to raid Chencang, and the Di people on their side who were quelling the rebellion in Wudu County were also in need of food and fodder. We need food and grass, and with these more than 100,000 huo of grain, money is not so tight. (End of chapter)
