Chapter 1343: Capture Zhu Jun Alive!【2】
Outside Hangu Pass, the Liangzhou Army soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.
After a night of bloody fighting, the battlefield outside Hangu Pass was a mess.
There were tens of thousands of Han soldiers who died or surrendered.
Besides that, hot food was being transported from inside Hangu Pass to the outside.
The Baibo Army soldiers who had been fighting hard all night finally ate a full meal.
The thick porridge boiled with a large amount of minced meat and refined salt, and the Baibo Army soldiers holding ceramic bowls sat on the ground and drank the hot thick porridge. Most soldiers could drink three or four bowls in one breath.
"Brother, drink slowly, don't worry."
The Liangzhou Army soldier responsible for serving porridge looked at the Baibo Army soldier who was gobbling it up and said with a smile: "There is enough porridge, rest assured, we have three meals a day in the army, and we are full every meal."
Hearing the Liangzhou soldier's words, the Baibo Army soldier felt a bit embarrassed.
"Brother, your accent doesn't sound like a Liangzhou person, it should be from Julu, Jizhou, right?"
The Baibo Army soldier who put down the ceramic bowl in his hand asked.
Zhang Wu, who was holding a rice spoon, immediately showed a surprised expression on his face and said: "Brother, you are also from Julu?
I hear your accent is also, fellow villager?"
Chen Er, who confirmed that they were fellow villagers, immediately wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and nodded and said: "Yes, I am from Julu. Last year, I got lost on the way from Jizhou to Liangzhou and stayed in Taiyuan Commandery. Later, I heard that someone in Baibo Valley was rebelling under the name of the Great Virtuous Teacher, so I took my brothers and went to Baibo Valley."
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the great joys in life.
Zhang Wu and Chen Er were both from Julu, and it was not easy to meet here.
"Brother, how are things over there in Liangzhou?
Is life okay?" Chen Er looked at Zhang Wu and asked.
"Haha, you asked the right person, brother." Zhang Wu wiped his hands, then took out two pieces of beef jerky from his arms and handed them to Chen Er: "Come, brother, you eat this."
Chen Er looked at the beef jerky in his hand and couldn't tell what it was for a while.
"Rest assured and eat, brother. This is beef jerky, the standard food for forced marches," Zhang Wu said proudly: "Brother, it would have been great if you hadn't gotten lost back then. If you had gone to Liangzhou, you would know what it means to live, not just survive."
Zhang Wu's voice was very loud, attracting many Baibo Army soldiers around to listen with their ears pricked up.
"After arriving in Liangzhou, the Lord Marquis had already built houses for us, and distributed grain to every household for the winter. In the spring, he also gave us seeds and farm tools."
"We farm in Liangzhou, we only need to put in effort, and there are no powerful clans exploiting us there."
"Everyone farms, relying on strength. As long as you have strength, you earn work points and get grain, and families who perform well will also be distributed livestock for breeding."
"Eating and drinking are not a problem all year round, and the production team will regularly distribute work clothes."
Zhang Wu said while pulling open his armor to reveal the new clothes inside: "Look, this is this year's autumn wear, four seasons a year, one set of new clothes per season."
"There are new clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter."
Chen Er looked down at the old clothes on his body that couldn't be more broken, and the straw sandals on his feet.
Looking at the new clothes and shoes on Zhang Wu, his eyes were full of envy.
"Liangzhou has had favorable weather this year, and the grain production is so much that it can't be eaten at all. We go out to fight, and we have three meals a day."
"There is no need to worry about the family at all. As long as you serve in the military or corvee labor, it counts as work points, and at the end of the year, it is settled, and grain is given according to the work points."
"This is called 'one person serves in the military, the whole family is glorious'. If you perform meritorious service, it is even more remarkable. There are glorious medals hanging at home, and the whole family has preferential treatment. Even if you die in battle, the production team will support the family in the future."
"Brother, do you still have relatives?
Are they also in Liangzhou?" Zhang Wu looked at Chen Er and asked.
Chen Er nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my elder brother and I came together, I guess he is in Liangzhou now."
"Then you are lucky. When you are incorporated into Liangzhou, report your elder brother's name, and when you find your elder brother, you can directly record your merit, and you will be a glorious family."
Zhang Wu's words filled Chen Er with longing for future life.
The Baibo Army soldiers around were also very envious.
If they had known Liangzhou was like this, they would have defected to Liangzhou long ago.
Inside Hangu Pass.
Duan Yu set up a banquet in the pass.
"General Yang, I toast you with this cup of wine." Duan Yu raised his wine glass to Yang Feng. ===== CHAPTER 1345 =====
