Han Qianqian smiled gently and did not reply straight away, turning to look at Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng, “Count the number of people who have surrendered, then order the troops and rest on the spot.”
Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng nodded and went down to make arrangements.
“Three thousand, what kind of chess are you playing? Let me tell you, no hiding from us this time.” Su Yingxia asked.
“Yes, you and Fu Mei have kept all of us in the dark with the trickery you pulled this time, earlier, I really thought you were going to run away with us, I told you, with your character how could you run away without a fight.” Ning Yue complained bitterly.
Han Qianqian smiled, “Earlier, I didn’t say anything because this plan was relatively complicated and the situation was urgent, and most importantly, if so many people knew the actual situation, then their expressions wouldn’t be natural. The opponent we are facing is a smart person like Hei Yu, and never a reckless person like Ye Shijun, so we can’t be sloppy with any details.”
“The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and the more truthful the people closest to me act, the better too, so as to convince Hei Yu.”
“As for playing chess this time.” Han Qianqian thought for a moment and smiled, “Remember I trained a sharp knife squad?”
Looking at Han Qianqian’s glance, Su Yingxia nodded, although she hadn’t personally participated in the training during those three days, she had always been with Han Qianqian and was naturally very clear about it.
“They are the rooks in this chess game.” Han Qianqian said.
At this moment, Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng slowly walked over and approached Han Qian Qian, slightly bending down: “The number of people has been counted, those who surrendered to us, about the number of people is around 17,000. The exact number, this needs to be counted slowly later.”
“Give them each a weapon and then reward them with a batch of jewellery.”
“Huh?” Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng was visibly stunned.
With such a large population, money was not a problem, after all, now that there was a city, the money could be recovered sooner or later, but the problem was that with weapons ……
This consumption is too big, right?
“This is so many people, a handful of weapons, you inventory to eat?” Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng asked in a soft voice.
Han Qianqian nodded slightly, “It’s barely enough to eat.”
“But …… the war is not yet won or lost, and they have only just surrendered to us, so if we rashly distribute things to them now, in case we are in a critical situation and these people see the wind, won’t they lose their trousers?” Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng said with great concern.
Jianghu Baixiao Sheng’s worry was not unreasonable, and this was something that Han Qianqian himself was actually well aware of.
But Han Qianqian had his own plans.
“Go ahead and do as I say.”
Seeing that Han Qianqian still insisted, Jiang Hu Bai Xiao Sheng nodded, and after Han Qianqian had taken the things out, he sent some disciples to carry them all one by one to the place where the surrendered soldiers had gathered.
“Let everyone rest where they are, and wait until after dawn.” Han Qianqian said.
Ning Yue frowned slightly, “We should leave here as soon as possible, right? I mean, in case the enemy army comes back, this time, we won’t have the advantage of attacking from the inside and outside that we had earlier.”
Han Qianqian shook his head gently, “They are a defeated army and need to rest more than we do. Besides, they have been defeated and fled, their men are scattered, so how can they reorganise their forces that quickly.”
“But I still need one more night at the moment.”
When she heard that Han Qianqian still needed time, Ning Yue swallowed her words in her throat, she did not speak again, nodded and went down to arrange for the necessary defence and rest.
Han Qianqian glanced at Su Yingxia: “Are you coming with me for a bit of fun or do you want to take a break?”
“Marry the chicken, I’ll accompany you.” Su Yingxia said.
Han Qianqian smiled heartily and nodded, “The place I’m going to is probably rather scary and, at the same time, full of beasts.”
“Aren’t you the biggest beast of all?” Su Yingxia smiled lightly.
Han Qianqian touched his forehead, full of helplessness, he shouldn’t have talked too much.
“Then go.” With those words, Han Qianqian took Su Yingxia’s hand and slowly walked towards a jungle on the east side of the mountainside ……
