The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 138 The Chu Army Disintegrated
According to Zheng Long's order, all the Chu soldiers put down their weapons and stood there neatly, waiting for the next instruction.

On the high platform, Zheng Long's hands were tied behind his back. Dai Li and Li Jinlong were behind him. The daggers in their hands were not sharp at all.

Zheng Long turned around with a smile on his face: "Grandma, I did as you ordered, did you let me go?"

"There's no rush, we'll wait until they've all settled down." Su Lin said coldly.

Soon, Shen Peng led people into the Chu army camp.

The fully armed militiamen surrounded the unarmed Chu army. Although the number was much smaller than that of the Chu army, the militiamen had weapons, and the Chu army captives were in a commotion. Fortunately, Cai Chao was on the side to hold them down, so there was no disturbance.

The soldiers of Chu State stood there in a daze, the enemy rushed in, why didn't the general order to attack?

These soldiers are only serving as soldiers for food, and they can do whatever they are asked to do. If they are not ordered to attack, they can stay here honestly.

"The little one pays his respects to the lord."

Seeing that he had controlled the situation, Shen Peng quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

"Well, you assist General Cai Chao to screen out these Chu troops, kill the stubborn ones, and fill other villages in Dahan Town if you are willing to stay, and let them leave for ordinary soldiers who do not want to join."

Su Lin only killed a small number of stubborn people and low-level officers who were close to Zheng Long. They were the unstable factors in the Chu army. Letting these people go would be a disaster in the future. It is better to kill them now.

"Here."

Shen Peng surrendered his command and took people to screen and question the soldiers of Chu State one by one.

Among the soldiers of the Chu army, there was a dark-complexioned soldier, not tall, only sixteen or seventeen years old, his name was Shitou.

Without a big name, he grew up with no father and no mother, and grew up eating a lot of food in the village. In order to have a place to eat, he went to serve as a soldier and eat food.

Shi Shi watched nervously as General Cai Chao brought people over, questioned them one by one, and fierce quarrels broke out from time to time, and then took the troubled soldiers out.

Take them outside the camp and don’t know what to do with them?
When it was their turn, someone came up to them and asked them, "Would you like to stay in Dahan Town to live a good life, or go back and continue to live a precarious life?"

Stone and several other soldiers glanced at each other, waiting for someone's answer.

The man asked again: "If you stay, you can all live in a new house, and you can eat at least one meal of meat for three meals a day. If you choose to go back, you can leave now."

When Shi Shi heard that he could eat one meal of meat, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked in surprise, "Is it true that I can eat at least one meal of meat a day? Don't you lie to us?"

The man laughed and scolded angrily: "What did you do to lie to you, and you didn't tie your hands and feet, if it was a lie to you, just go away."

"If it's true, I'm willing to stay." Shitou nodded sharply.

"Yes, we are willing to stay too."

"But we still have family members at home. If we don't go back, what will the family do?"

Others felt that they would not be able to eat enough when they got home, so they might as well stay here, but those with families were worried about their homes.

The man waved his hand and said: "If you think this place is good, you can bring your family over after settling in, and you can ensure that you have enough to eat three meals a day."

Having a full meal is the greatest luxury of ordinary people in this era.

It's okay to say that in an ordinary good year, once it comes to a disaster year, the whole village will starve to death.

Most people were moved and wanted to stay and see if what they said was true.

More than 7000 people, except for hundreds of diehards who were dragged outside the camp and executed, about 5000 people were willing to stay, and more than 1000 people chose to go back. After all, there are still family members, and they cannot let go.

Su Lin didn't force them to stay either, and let them go.

Soldiers in this era don't have the concept of a country, as long as whoever feeds them, they will work for them.

The key lies with the generals above. As long as Zheng Long asks them to put down their weapons, and with the assistance of deputy general Cai Chao, the lower-level officers are also eliminated one by one, and the entire Chu army is quickly disintegrated.

It was like a dream to say that more than 7000 Chu troops were settled in this way, and Su Lin did not expect that things would go so smoothly.

"It's time to go back and deal with the traitor."

Su Lin sneered. She would never show any mercy to her enemies now.

"My lord, what should I do with that Zheng Long? Should I..." Dai Li took a step forward, making a killing gesture.

Su Lin asked back: "I have already said, if you do what I say, you will let him go."

"But my lord, if you let him go, I'm afraid he will come back with revenge, and there will be endless troubles." Li Jinlong said worriedly.

Su Lin laughed and said: "If the Chu army attacks again and sends a capable general, wouldn't it be very difficult for us to fight? It would be beneficial and harmless for us to put such a pig's head back. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill it?"

Li Jinlong and Dai Li glanced at each other, nodded, and clasped their hands together and said, "My lord is wise."

"But we can't let him go so easily." Su Lin sneered and walked over in white boots.

With his hands tied behind his back, Zheng Long knelt on the high platform and waited to be dealt with.

Seeing Su Lin approaching, he begged for mercy: "Grandma, I did as you said, should I be let go?"

"Yes." Su Lin nodded, "Don't worry, I keep my word and I will definitely let you go."

"Thank you aunt for not killing me, thank you aunt for not killing me." Zheng Long kowtowed twice in tears of joy.

"Get up." Su Lin smiled and waved his hand.

"Here."

Zheng Long stood up excitedly, but with his hands tied behind his back, it was a bit difficult to stand up.

"Turn around."

Su Lin stretched out his finger and made a circle.

"Oh."

Zheng Long was slightly puzzled, he didn't know what to do, the situation was stronger than others, and he didn't dare to disobey Su Lin's order, so he had to turn around obediently.

Standing on the half-meter-high platform and looking forward, the soldiers of Chu State divided into several waves and began to walk out of the camp one after another.

Those who did not resist felt a little discouraged in their hearts. More than 8000 Chu troops came to exterminate the bandits and failed like this.

"Grandma, you want me to do..." Zheng Long was about to turn around and ask.

boom.

Su Lin suddenly took a step forward, raised his foot and kicked Zheng Long hard on the buttocks. Zheng Long, who could not touch him, was kicked down.

"Ouch."

Zheng Long's face came into close contact with the dirt first, he gnawed a mouthful of dirt, knocked out a front tooth, and his mouth was full of mud mixed with blood.

Su Lin smiled and took a long whip, made a loud whip, and walked down the steps.

"Grandma, please forgive me." Zheng Long wailed in pain.

"I said I would let you go, but I didn't say that I wouldn't punish you for your disrespect to me. Capital punishment is inevitable, but living punishment is inevitable."

Su Lin snorted coldly, raised his foot, and stepped on Zheng Long's neck with his white boots. With a little force, Zheng Long felt as if he was about to suffocate, and his face turned red.

"Just enjoy it."

After speaking, he waved the long whip in his hand violently, and beat him down hard.

"Ah, ah!"

Over the Chu army camp, there were bursts of whipping and screams.

The forest outside the camp.

"It seems to be the general's voice?"

Stone followed out of the camp, and looked back when he heard a faint scream.

The person next to him whispered: "Don't worry about others, let's worry about when we can have dinner."

"Aren't we here to suppress the bandits? Why did the general tell us to put down our weapons and follow the bandits in a daze?" Shitou didn't understand.

"No matter how many things we do, we will do whatever the general asks us to do. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us if we are blamed by the superiors. Is it possible that we still want to go up and fight those people?"

The person next to him murmured, the militiamen in Dahan Town were fully armed, what would the Chu army do with their defenseless?

"If it's true as they said, and there is meat for three meals a day, it's not bad to stay here." Shitou didn't think too much, just hoped that he would be able to eat enough.
