Li Xiao sat on the half-built earth wall, holding a dead grass in his mouth, holding a knife in his arms, and swaying his legs, looking particularly free. It has already entered spring, and the earth has slowly begun to show blue. Yesterday, in the corner, I even saw an unknown little flower. As an ordinary soldier, Li Xiao entered the field affairs several years ago, and then joined the wing army, and fought all the way here with Du Zhongxiao.

Unfortunately, he was born not a material for war, nor had the brain or interest to learn. Until now, Li Xiao was still an ordinary soldier. With the army's military achievements, he could not become an officer after several exams, so Li Xiao had no intention of doing so. In Du Zhongxiao's words, people like Li Xiao who were really not suitable for development in the army would be removed from the military and return to the camp and farm to live their own life. All the military achievements they made would be discounted at that time, and they would be taken home as money, and they would not be in vain.

Li Xiao faced the spring breeze and thought about the days when he returned to his hometown. The farming and farming responsibilities were divided into houses and land. If he had more money, he could choose a good wife to ask for a house. The life of fighting and killing was not suitable for him, and he would still be farming. It would be suitable for him to drink with him for a long time in his spare time.

At this moment, there were suddenly beatings and scolding, awakening Li Xiao's dream.

Turning around, he found that it was the prisoner of war he was under his care. He didn't know what was going on, so the two of them started beating and scolding.

Li Xiao jumped down from the wall, strode over, pressed his waist knife, and shouted sternly: "If you don't have a good meal, why are you two quarreling?"

A stout prisoner of war in Dangxiang pointed at the thin prisoner of war on the ground and whispered: "This guy has to come and share my meal. Can you not fight?"

Li Xiao glanced at the person on the ground. He was thin and had sharp eyes. He stared at the person in front of him with a stubborn expression.

Ignoring the stubborn man, Li Xiao pointed to the person on the ground and said, "What's your name? Get up and talk!"

The thin man got up from the ground and saluted Li Xiao, saying, "The little Ding Qizhong was originally a Han native in Lingzhou. Dangxiang rebelled against Song and was robbed as a slave. He was sold to foreign troops and sent to foreign troops. He was defeated a few days ago and became a prisoner of war. The man who beat me was named Wulai Youliang, and was the official soldier of Wulai troops. Today, the court transported food and grass, sent us some corn and had some good food. People who didn't want to cook cooked the corn, and only gave these soldiers to eat, not our auxiliary soldiers! In the past, Dangxiang's army was bullied by them, but now everyone is prisoners of war. Why is it still like this? I am a Han and I am not as good as these foreign dogs, but I just don't accept it! I was fighting with him just now, but I couldn't beat him, so no one helped me. The Taiwei commented on it!"

Li Xiao has been in the army for many years and was called Taiwei for the first time. Although he didn't say anything, he felt a little happy. He asked Li Lai Youliang: "Are you just quarreling about something? Which one should I cook, stand up!"

Xiao Lai Youliang said: "We have this kind of rule. Even if we lose the war, the rules cannot be changed!"

Li Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and whispered: "Who cooked rice, stand up quickly!"

A thin middle-aged man next to him walked out of the crowd and bowed to Li Xiao: "Taiwei, today is a small cooking."

Li Xiao said: "When I was giving the rice, I made it clear. How could you not listen when the corn was cooked with barley?"

The middle-aged man said: "The Lord of the Imperial House ordered that the corn be cooked separately and the soldiers would eat it--"

Li Xiao looked at the middle-aged man up and down and said, "You have become prisoners of war today. You don't listen to the instructions of those who care about it. Instead, you are listening to the adults. You are really asking for a fight! Standing aside, I will find you after I have to deal with others!"

After saying that, he said to Norai Youliang: "When the rice was distributed just now, the official said it clearly. The rice was added to the barley and everyone shared the food. Why do you dare to make your own decisions and cook it alone? You can save your life on the battlefield, why not cherish it?"

Nailai Youliang said, "Taiwei, all of us are like this, not just me. The same is true for others, they are cooked with corn and are eating with soldiers. We have always had the rules that corn is expensive, so these pigs and dogs are not afraid of eating bad belly. Should I kill them, should everyone else be killed?"

The middle-aged man who was cooking rice while standing whispered: "Taiwei, Master Nailai is right. We are like this everywhere. Only after asking a little one did it."

Li Xiao felt strange and didn't believe it, but they said it so concisely, but it didn't look fake. He turned around and whispered to the other side: "Brother Shi's family, if you have time to come here, I'll ask you something!"

Shi Wuro, who was guarding the prisoners of war there, agreed loudly and walked over quickly.

Li Xiao pointed to the nearby people and said, "I heard from them that they sent corn today. The Dangxiang people did not listen to the orders and cooked it alone, giving them the regular soldiers to eat, and not the auxiliary soldiers. Is the same in your place?"

Shi Wulang said: "Who cares about how they eat? I'll go over and take a look and tell you when I come back."

He turned around and ran back, came back a little later, and said to Li Xiao: "It's the same there, but no one makes trouble."

Li Xiao said: "This is inappropriate! Since these people have become prisoners of war, they should naturally follow our instructions. Is it okay to keep the rules in the past? Brother help me see, and I will report to the commander and follow the instructions from above."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Bao Zheng sent the person who brought the fresh fruits he brought back and brought some mulberries and citrus on the mat. Bao Zheng said: "Although there are some dishes in early spring, it is inconvenient to carry on the road. Citrus is already available in Dongshengzhou. Mulberries are transported by mainland trains. Everyone can taste them."

Shisanlang looked at the bright red mulberries and said, "Okay, this is good! I don't think so in Suizhou, but now I realize it is a delicious food on earth!"

At this moment, Tian Hai, the commander in Yang Wenguang's army, stepped in quickly and said with his hands: "Master, something happened to the prisoner of war. I don't know what to do. Come and report it!"

Du Zhongxiao put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "What's the matter? I specially sent them corn today, so I'm so proud of it?"

Tian Haidao: "It was because of the trapped corn that they had a dispute. When they were distributing the rice, the food officer explained it clearly, and mixed it into the barley and cooked it together and everyone shared the food. But they decided to cook the corn alone, and only gave it to the main soldiers. Some auxiliary soldiers were angry and had a dispute. By the way, the auxiliary soldiers who were fighting said that they were called Ding Xiaozhong, who was originally a Han Chinese, but were plundered as slaves by the Dangxiang people, and were ordered to be an auxiliary soldiers."

Du Zhongxiao stood up after hearing this, thought for a while and sneered: "There are really distinct classes in the Dangxiang Army, and even if you become a prisoner, you can't change it! That's all, after going back, all the soldiers were organized separately, so what kind of work would they do? Go back and tell the guards and prisoners of war that the only people who can do the work we sent in the past are those who dare to transgress, and do military law!"

Tian Hai said no and asked again: "The primates, there are indeed some Han people among the prisoners of war, so what should we do?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Now that I know that I am a Han Chinese. Have you ever thought about it when I help the Dangxiang people fight! The Han slaves of the civilians are the court who is sorry for them and should compensate them. Regardless of the regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, the Han Chinese in the Dangxiang army are not like this! If you want to kill them, they should be killed more than Dangxiang prisoners of war! Go back and instruct the officers and soldiers, whether they are Dangxiang people or Han Chinese, to treat them together! It is a great favor not to pursue their treason!"

Tian Hai crossed his hands and said yes, turned around and walked out quickly.

Du Zhongxiao must be asked for instructions on this matter. There are two difficulties in Tian Hai dared not make a decision. One is the court practice, which involves the use of Song Dynasty rules by the Han people. It is just a conflict between foreign people. According to the foreign law, officials mediate from it. Another prisoner of war does indeed have Han people, not only auxiliary soldiers, but also regular soldiers. Since entering Hequ Road, Du Zhongxiao has always compensated the Han people, and various discounts should they do as they do.

Knowing Du Zhongxiao's attitude, things will be simple. A big victory on the battlefield will not be able to deal with these prisoners of war.

After sitting back on his seat, Bao Zheng said to Du Zhongxiao: "What are the benefits of detaining the regular soldiers alone? Why don't we worry about following the Dangxiang convention and let those auxiliary soldiers be small leaders to guard the prisoners of war for us.

Du Zhongxiao said: "If we follow Longtu, there are two difficulties. What is in front of us is that prisoners of war are prone to accidents. Where does the combat power of the army come from? First, it is organization. Let the soldiers be the small leader, just like in the previous Dangxiang army. If there is any accident, all prisoners of war can be organized. It can save us the money we have to guard and not save money to prevent them from making trouble. The second difficulty is that we can't keep the prisoners of war for a lifetime. After working for a few years, we have cleared our sins, and know how to abide by the rules of the court, and we will eventually release them as the people. We have always been in charge of the soldiers. Will they release them to make new tribes one by one? Even the existing foreign lands will be broken up, so how can we create new foreign lands in the army?"

Bao Zheng nodded slowly: "The strategy makes sense, but I am not thinking well."

Du Zhongxiao's status was completely different from more than a month ago. At that time, although Du Zhongxiao was the commander of the management and Bao Zheng was the commander of the fortune, the two did not have a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates. This victory was unprecedented for the nomadic regime in the north since the Song Dynasty, and it was of great significance. Although the court had no orders, Bao Zheng consciously placed himself in the position of Du Zhongxiao's subordinates.

Prisoners of war are different from civilians. What they catch on the battlefield is the enemy, the accomplices of the enemy's country. If they are not punished, these nomadic tribes will not feel the majesty of the court. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will gather together and loot everywhere. Anyway, they will not be severely punished by the court in the end. The mainland is full of murders, arsons and recruits, let alone here.

In the past, the Song army was mostly rogue and entered the army to tattoo the characters. On the one hand, the court bought the rude and was a powerful and a minion in the court. On the other hand, they treated it as a prisoner, thinking that soldiers were born to be a seed of crime without wearing military uniforms. The Yingtianxiang Army was not like this, and they chose their own good family to join the army, of course they had a different attitude towards prisoners of war.
