"I think he must have been snatched away by them, and he is also a poor person. It's better to let him go." Qin Hu said calmly.

Gundam licked his tongue: "No, we have a next step plan. If we let it go, what will happen if she leaks the information? Why don't we detain it first?"

"Okay, but don't bully her. Let's take her back with us. Please keep it confidential."

The battle was so intense that everyone who followed Qin Hu all the way down admired him very much, so the soldiers laughed and let go of the woman.

"What do you want to do with me? Let me tell you, I am a member of the royal family of the Liaodong Kingdom. If you dare to make a mistake, it is unforgivable. I, I want to see your general, see your general." Gao Sheng shouted in a trembling voice.

"Okay, no problem, we'll take you back now." Qin Hu kicked him in the back: "Brothers, it's done, let's go back."

…

At dawn, Qin Hu and others came back exhausted.

Li Qin has ordered the entire army to move to the north bank of the Liaohe River.

His current mood can only be described by four words: elated.

According to the battle report sent back by Qin Hu, they not only captured the Liaohe River, but also captured the enemy's commander with a hundred troops. If the emperor knew about it, it would be a great achievement.

"This Little Marquis of Qin, it seems that everyone didn't know enough about him before. The legends in Shangjing City must be false, right?" Li Qin said to Yang Shanhui with a smile.

Yang Shanhui was writing a merit book. Hearing this, he put down his writing brush and muttered: "How could it be false? Many things are well-founded."

Li Qin chuckled: "Ignore this, just report it to the emperor truthfully."

Yang Shanhui's expression changed: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. If the general does this, how will he represent Ningguo in the future? Don't forget..."

Originally, Li Qin planned to go out in person to meet Qin Hu, the great hero, but later he did not go because he listened to Yang Shanhui's words and thought it made sense.

The people Qin Hu offended were either relatives of the emperor or dignitaries of the dynasty.

If he was too polite to Qin Hu, wouldn't that mean he was taking sides?

The risk of taking sides is too great, and Qin Hu is obviously at a disadvantage.

After thinking over and over again, Li Qin decided that this was impossible.

Regarding this, the officers and soldiers in the army felt aggrieved again.

You must know that at this time, at least a thousand people in Li Qin's army knew that Qin Hu won this battle.

Not only did he capture the Liao River ferry, but he also led a mere 100 men to capture the entire camp and capture the enemy's commander alive.

The military of the Yu Dynasty had a reward and punishment system. According to the usual practice, if a subordinate made such a contribution, the commander-in-chief must personally welcome him and give him a big banquet.

Moreover, in terms of rewards for meritorious service, Qin Hu would definitely be promoted. He would be rewarded with five thousand taels just for capturing the enemy commander alive.

From the looks of it, it's probably in trouble again.

But now Li Qin's attitude really made Gundam and Sun Xuanya grit their teeth.

"We have made such great achievements, but General Li turns a blind eye. What do you think of us?" Gundam patted the table and said.

Sun Xuanya said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will be disheartened by doing this? I think this battle can't be won."

"Old Sun, be careful what you say." Gundam looked at the door warily.

Sun Xuanya snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? You may not know many things yet."

"I have met several fellow villagers from Shandong in the past few days. They are all migrant workers who have been recruited. These people told me that there has been chaos behind us."

Qin Hu frowned: "How to say?"

"Hey!" Sun Xuanya slapped her thigh: "I heard that our rear is already in chaos. There are mobs revolting everywhere, killing and injuring the government, and robbing food..."

Some of the things Sun Xuanya told Qin Hu knew, but some he really didn't know.

The general meaning is this:

Before the Emperor Tianming of the Yu Dynasty went to Liaodong Kingdom, in order to solve the difficulty in transporting grain, he mobilized millions of people to dig a grand canal that ran through the north and south.

After the canal was dug, Emperor Tianming sailed directly from Yangzhou to Youzhou by boat.

The emperor sat in Youzhou and issued several imperial edicts in succession. First, he called for 1.2 million soldiers and horses from all over the world, and then he called for twice as many civilians, totaling nearly 4 million people.

According to official statistics, the number of registered households in the Yu Dynasty at this time totaled 8,907,546, with a population of 46,019,956.

In other words, one-tenth of the population was used to participate in the war.

The emperor also ordered various places to build 500 giant warships and 100,000 ox carts. After the ships transferred the grain from Liyangcang and Luokou Cang to Youzhou, they could be sent to the front line with manpower.

Of course, they transported not only food, but also various armors, weapons, tents, and siege tools.

Hundreds of thousands of people can be seen on every road every day.

Because of the cold weather, difficult roads, and severe traffic jams, countless civilians and soldiers froze to death.

The corpses were all dumped on the roadside, and the stench was overwhelming. No one cared about it.

The most serious problem is that despite such massive mobilization, the military does not have enough food.

why?

Because it is thousands of miles from Youzhou to the front line.

Two people push a cart, and each cart can only carry three stones of grain and one bundle of straw.

Then these two people also need to eat.

Because the weather and road conditions were really bad, they walked too slowly. By the time they reached the front line, the two men had already finished the food, and the food truck was empty.

In this case, the official responsible for receiving will hold you accountable. If you can come up with money to compensate, it's fine. If you can't come up with it, military rations will be withheld, and you can be punished on the spot.
