Daqin: Selling elves at the beginning, Zulong begged me to supervise the country

The next day, the surviving soldiers carried Tu Sui and Yu Guang back to the military camp.

There is a strange atmosphere in the army.

When a general dies in battle, three situations usually occur.

First, the backbone of the army is lost, the army is defeated, and the morale of the army is weakened.

Second, the deputy general immediately took over the command and directed the army to retreat in an orderly manner.

Third, the entire army shared the same hatred for the enemy and vowed to avenge the general and kill the opponent to a great defeat.

The first situation may have occurred in the other six kingdoms during the Warring States Period, but it was almost impossible for Great Qin to occur.

The entire Qin State relies on the military merit system to operate. The Qin State's system was born for war, and the entire country is more like a war machine.

For people like Da Qin Rui who dare to die, dying on the battlefield is not terrible.

And Tu Sui is not their backbone, and he has no military morale in the army.

Tu Sui is the general appointed by His Majesty. They obey the orders of the general, not Tu Sui.

If Tu Sui dies, someone else will take his place.

The army was still operating in an orderly manner and there was no panic at all.

The power of the military temporarily fell into Wang Yi's hands, and he knew that his own abilities were not enough to occupy this position.

I was worried about how to quickly spread the news to His Majesty and other generals, and how to place Tu Sui's body.

Tu Sui's position was in charge of more than just the people in their military camp.

Tu Sui was responsible for the overall command of the 50-strong army in the southern expedition. Because Baiyue was scattered throughout the country, the 50-strong army was divided into five groups.

One army defended the ridge of Tancheng, the other guarded the Jiuyi fortress, the other guarded the capital of Panyu, the other guarded the boundary of Nanye, and the third guarded the remaining Qianzhi water.

Among the 50 troops, about [-] were soldiers from the original Chu state.

Disrupted and dispersed into five armies.

Tu Sui personally led [-] troops into Panyu, and then pursued the leader of Xiou, who had translated the Song Dynasty to this point.

Now there are only 10 of the [-] people here. The [-] Chu troops who originally joined their army are Yu Guang's soldiers.

This time they sent troops with Tu Sui and Yu Guang, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

It wouldn't be a problem for him to command 6 people here, but the Five Route Army needs people to coordinate operations.

Previously, Tu Sui had dispatched the three armies closest to them to surround Yi Xusong. According to the distance, they were probably almost there.

Wang Yi would be upset when he would have to deal with generals from other armies.

As for the whole army, they share the same hatred against the enemy and vow to avenge the general.

They will go all out to capture Xiou, but that is for Da Qin, not for Tu Sui.

Based on Tu Sui's previous actions, the soldiers were somewhat resentful.

But Tu Sui was already dead, and he was still their commander-in-chief.

They couldn't possibly be happy, but it was true that they weren't too sad.

As a result, the atmosphere in the army was strange, strangely calm, and there was no trace of the panic or sadness of the general's death in battle.

"The mountain road is difficult to travel, and it will probably take half a month for the news to spread. There is only a grain officer in Xing'an County, and there is no one nearby who can speak. The matter must be sent back to Xianyang for His Majesty to make a decision."

When the news reaches Xianyang and when the imperial edict reaches the army, Tu Sui will stink.

"What can I do?"

Gundam also felt heavy-headed at this time. He suddenly rose to a high position and didn't care about military affairs.

It's okay to ask him to obey orders and hit wherever you tell him. Wouldn't it make him unhappy to let him take care of these chores?

He also wanted to leave the burden alone, but Wang Yifei said that their official positions were the same and they had to make decisions together.

"How about letting Tu Sui follow the messenger?"

"This is a bit sloppy. After all, he is a national captain!"

Below the emperor are the prime ministers and lieutenants. The lieutenants are in charge of the military and administration of a country. Now that they have sacrificed their lives for the country, they must return to Beijing, but they cannot return to Beijing so hastily. Wouldn't it harm the face of the country?

"With the current conditions, the mountain road is difficult to navigate. It would be nice to be able to get out."

"Send more people. We won't be responsible for sending them out. As for the arrangements for returning to Beijing, let the people outside have a headache."

As long as it doesn't stink their place, it's easy to talk about anything.

"This is the only way we can arrange it."

As for Gundam, he was originally from Chu and would not be sent back to Xianyang together. He could only find some remaining Chu soldiers to send him back to his homeland.

As for how His Majesty will pursue the title later, it is not up to them.

"Report!" came a hurried voice.

"Come in!" Wang Yi and Gundam became serious instantly. This matter has not been dealt with yet, so why are there other things chasing after them?

I hope it's not a bad thing.

Wang Yi felt depressed, but he couldn't think of anything good that could happen in the military camp, and there was no fighting today.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The soldiers who came to report looked excited and were not aware of the depressed mood of the two generals.

"Two generals, the big bird is here again!"

"What? Where?"

Wang Yi and Gundam stood up excitedly and made preparations to walk out.

Wang Yi suddenly stopped and returned to the case.

"You go first, I will come later."

Gundam glanced back, not paying attention, nodded and walked quickly outside with the soldiers.

He didn't have time to take a closer look last time, so this time he wanted to take a closer look at what was different about this big human bird.

Hundreds of large birds were hovering in the open space outside the military camp.

Each big bird holds a bag of grain or military supplies in its talons.

Flying close to the ground, he dropped the food in an orderly manner. Every time a place was filled, he moved to the next place.

The soldiers moved to the military camp with joy on their faces.

"Oh, my mother-in-law."

"How come these birds are so smart, like humans."

"Pull him down, stop exalting yourself, I see this big bird is much smarter than you."

"Tsk! How dare I fight with them? They can deliver food, but I can't. I mean they behave like humans."

"Tell me, can they understand human speech?"

"Want to know?"

"You call it a stupid bird, and you will know if it greets you with its paws or not."

"Why don't you scold me and think I'm stupid?"

"Besides, the bird that can transport food here is our great benefactor. How can we scold the benefactor?"

The soldier who spoke glanced at the sharp claws of the big bird and felt terrified.

If you were to say hello to someone, you would have to shed several layers of skin even if you don’t even see the bones.

"You boy, you're really wimpy."

"I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?"

The soldier who made the suggestion grinned, put a bag of grain on his shoulder, and carried it away.

Gundam listened thoughtfully to their conversation.

"What are you thinking about, just sitting here in a daze."

Wang Yi walked over, frowned when he saw Gundam standing in front of the military camp gate, and pulled him aside.

This person was coming and going, all carrying food, and he was accidentally hit.

It doesn't matter if you hit someone, but wouldn't it be wasted if the food is spilled?

"Ah? Thank you, General Wang."

Gundam was a little flattered and thought Wang Yi was caring about him.

"I was just thinking that these birds are so understanding of human nature and so powerful. They might be able to help us solve the big problem at hand."

With the speed of this big bird, I'm afraid it won't take a few hours to fly out of these layers of mountains. I just don't know who is driving this big bird.

"Well, that's what I meant."

Wang Yi took out the bamboo slips from his arms. He had this idea as soon as he heard the news.

The captain of the country died for the country, and his body was no small matter. It would be better to have someone to help him make decisions, so that they wouldn't have to take the blame if something went wrong.

"No, I mean..."

He is not as cautious as Wang Yi. Wouldn't it be better to be more direct?
