Chapter 782 The Third Prince Died Suddenly
Commander Hua intended to train Qin Huai and his two men, and the battle they led achieved great success with minimal casualties.
When clearing the battlefield, Ayu asked Qin Huai to interrogate the prisoners, while she went to the rear to care for the soldiers.
In addition to the soldiers who died on the spot, there were more than 70 wounded soldiers lying in the makeshift wounded barracks. Some of them were missing arms and legs, and the others suffered from knife and gunshot wounds.
Ayu found a nearby water pool, took out a large basin of Wanling Water, and asked Tuanzi to give her a disinfectant bead and put it into the water pool.
The disinfectant beads will affect the surrounding waters, but the effect is very short-lived. They will be completely diluted in the flowing water pool for about an hour, and will not have much negative impact. It is suitable for use on wounded soldiers.
As for Wanling Water, its effect will last longer and it can also quietly improve water quality.
These subtle improvements have made this place a livable resort again. The taste and yield of the grains and vegetables grown have significantly improved, and the surrounding people have also benefited greatly and are in better health.
This is a later story.
"Sir." When the doctor from the wounded camp saw Ayu, he hurriedly leaned over and saluted.
Ayu waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, use the water in the pool to treat the wounded soldiers, wipe it and boil medicine. I put the treatment medicine in the water, and the best effect will be achieved within an hour."
The doctor accompanying the army had already heard about Ayu and knew that she was also good at medical treatment. He didn't ask any more questions and just followed the instructions.
Most of the soldiers here are under the banner of General Hua. They follow orders and prohibitions, are extremely cooperative, and don't say anything.
After Ayu had done this, he went to find Qin Huai.
At this time, Qin Huai was dealing with the prisoners, and most of the prisoners were recruited as pawns. If there was another war, they would bear the brunt.
If you are lucky enough to survive, you can be rewarded based on your merits and truly integrate into the army.
This is also a commonly used method in several countries.
Many of the soldiers were actually dissatisfied with Ayu and Qin Huai. Even if they led them to a victory, they still felt that it was due to General Hua's guidance.
What's more, they didn't take the Third Prince's rebels seriously.
Two little boys in their teens, one less than a hairpin and the other less than a crown, how much effect can they have?
Just to earn military merit.
Until Ayu found Qin Huai, the two saw particularly vicious prisoners, some of whom had several lives stained on them. The subordinates below asked: "General, what are we going to do with these people?"
Qin Huai didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Kill in front of the account!"
Ayu didn't show her unbearable expression, she just sighed in her heart.
If there was no war, these people might not have blood on their hands.
But since you are infected, you have to pay the price, otherwise it will be difficult to comfort the spirits of the fallen soldiers in heaven.
That night, several generals and vicious people led by the other party were all killed. The seriously injured soldiers were also out of danger and were waiting for a better life.
General Hua didn't know the details and thought the soldiers were lucky. He was so happy that he drank a big bowl of wine and shouted: "Okay!"
Qin Huai deliberately found Ayu and asked her: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? If there is anything wrong, please tell me."
"Brother Ayou, I am not a child anymore." Ayu looked at him and said with a smile, "Don't treat me like a child."
"You have been brave since you were a child, but I didn't treat you like a child." Qin Huai also laughed, and the two of them chatted for a while in the still bright night, and then they took a break.
The army moved forward and rested intermittently. The vanguard troops opened the way thirty miles away, and they did not encounter any troops deliberately blocking them.
Ayu and Qin Huai issued some military orders from time to time for the messengers to pass them on.
General Hua enjoyed his leisure time and occasionally interacted with the quartermaster to discuss nearby grain collection matters.
For some reason, if they were at war in the past, it would be extremely difficult to collect food, and even if they had money, they might not be able to buy it.
Nowadays, it is especially easy. Many merchants along the way came to donate food and materials when they learned that Ayu was leading the group.
General Hua sighed countless times: "Ayu has won the hearts of the people!"
He was a big boss and didn't think too much. He just regretted that Ayu was not his child. Otherwise, he would have made great achievements if he went to a truly cruel battlefield.
Just the people's support for donating food and materials can put many armies beyond their reach.
Who in the army doesn't want the soldiers to fight with enough food and drink?
However, Ayu knew that her eldest brother was behind the scenes. The eldest brother was very good at the grain business. While laying the foundation for the Wang family, he also did not forget to lay the foundation for Ayu's popularity.
Maybe it was Grandma telling him something.
Not only the eldest brother, but also several other brothers in the family, and even uncles and aunts who are doing business, are also intentionally or unintentionally trying to build public support for her.
Ayu is not an ordinary child, so she naturally understands the good intentions of her family.
The army marched for another half month. The sky, which had been clear for a long time, suddenly started to rain heavily. There was also a lot of water on the official road. The army was carrying too much baggage and could no longer march.
General Hua said: "We will reach Fengming City in three days. We can slowly march to Fengming City and station ourselves there. It is across the river from the rebels and can be used as a front line."
Ayu asked: "Have the people in Fengming City been settled properly?"
"Ten days ago, all the people had evacuated to the rear. The rebels were also members of the royal family. Although they committed evil along the way, they did not dare to stop the people from evacuating. It was relatively smooth."
During this period, they did not encounter rebels, but they encountered many people blocking the road to complain, saying that bandits were wreaking havoc around them, causing public resentment.
Qin Huai and Ayu led troops to suppress bandits several times, collected a lot of grain, collected the grain, and distributed the items to the people. They also accused the bandits of minor crimes and acted as pawns.
The food of the horse soldiers is not as good as that of normal soldiers. They are also required to dig wild vegetables for meals. When they see the people busy with farm work, they are asked to help. It can be said that they are used to the extreme.
Now, the army they lead has 30,000 more horse soldiers.
The horse soldiers have resisted before, but with the help of Tuanzi, Ayu revealed all the big and small things of several leaders.
Some people can die, but they don't want to die in society.
It is said that Ayu is also the commander of the Astrology Department. The reputation of the Astrology Department has been magnified with Ayu, and it is almost surpassing the Imperial Observatory among the people.
Everyone thinks she is a little fairy on land who can calculate. After she showed a few tricks, they dare not underestimate her.
Naturally, she was controlled obediently.
Qin Huai heard that someone was secretly building a temple for A Yu, and he went to her to whisper: "Do you know what people say about you?"
"Ah?"
A Yu was studying a military book. Hearing this, she only looked up at Qin Huai slightly: "You won't say I'm a female Shura, right?"
She was gentle to others on weekdays, but she was vigorous and resolute when suppressing bandits. When some small bandit dens around heard that A Yu was leading troops there, many of them were scared and waited at the foot of the mountain to surrender early.
"Silly." Qin Huai was a little amused, tapped A Yu's nose, and then said helplessly, "Praise you for being a little Bodhisattva."
"The people are not living a good life, so they hope someone will save them." A Yu sighed, "I hope this war won't be too big, otherwise the people will suffer."
A Yu didn't care about her reputation. After she came out this time, she realized more and more that no matter how well Dachang developed on the surface, the people at the bottom still had a hard life.
There is really too little she can do at present.
If the war is too intense, it will be a scorched earth for thousands of miles. Even if the people have no casualties, it will be difficult for them to recover.
It rained heavily at night, and several nearby villages were flooded. Ayu, Qin Huai and General Hua led their teams to settle the nearby people and left a thousand soldiers to help rebuild their homes.
The soldiers they brought out were already surplus, and the cost was quite huge. It would be more appropriate to make the best use of their talents.
But when they were busy all day, when the sky just cleared up, a messenger came in a hurry and delivered a big news.
"Urgent report! The former three princes were stabbed to death, and the rebels threatened that our army and the evil cult would attack!"
The former three princes are dead.
Very abruptly, they died the day before they were about to confront each other.
The original rebels seemed to have received justice, spreading Qin Huai's bad words everywhere, saying that he was the emperor's illegitimate son who was stranded outside, and this time he led the army to eliminate the prince's bloodline.
Ah Yu was the evil Taoist priest beside him, who used her magic to kill the Third Prince who wanted to return to Beijing to admit his mistakes.
Suddenly, the situation changed suddenly.
