Chapter 366: Spoils of War

The area of Fusang is not small, but there are not many residents on the island.
Since Xu Fu arrived on the island, most of the indigenous people have migrated here, in order to learn agriculture, construction, and livestock from Xu Fu, and no longer live in a precarious life!
So all they need to do is sweep across the Jiuzhou Island and capture Xu Fu!
As for the indigenous people on other islands, Xiaozhengtai plans to leave them alone for a while.
After resolving this side, they will slowly send troops to clean up!
After eating and drinking enough, little Zhengtai led a team of people, with Han Xin and Zhang Liang each leading a team, sweeping across the entire Kyushu Island!
All the way, they effortlessly took down the local people in the village who had just learned farming, and emptied the wealth of the entire village!
"General Han, today we cleaned up the village and found over a hundred horses. We can equip our soldiers with them and it will make our journey to the next village much easier!"
At dusk, Han Xin's team began to count and transport the spoils of war, the soldiers under his command reported respectfully.
"Hmm, not bad! In a few more days, I reckon all the soldiers in the team will be able to become cavalry!"
Han Xin nodded in satisfaction.
The battle today was almost one-sided, with only two of his soldiers injured, and that was when they were capturing the pretended surrenderers, who secretly ambushed them.
Of course, those few people were also killed on the spot, which can be considered as a warning to other captives!
As for the little boy, he also searched for valuable things along the way!
At the same time, Xiaozhengtai also sent out a team of scouts to explore the road first.
Three days later, only one-third of the people remained in each team to continue the battle, because the war was going too smoothly, and the most important tasks became cleaning the battlefield and transporting the spoils of war.
Two-thirds of the remaining need to go and transport the food and precious metals!
"The young master is right. This island really does have everything. Yesterday, while I was searching for gold, silver, and copper coins at a farmer's house, I actually found a pearl on their dinner table. It seems like it was bitten and spat out while they were eating shells! Look at this, if we bring it back to our Great Qin, it could probably fetch a good price!"
A navy soldier took the opportunity to pull out a large pearl from his pocket while leading a horse carrying the spoils to the ship, and happily exclaimed.
Since this pearl is naturally formed, its shape is not perfect, but it is extremely large and should sell for several tens of gold without any problem!
"Haha, exactly! I also found a transparent green gem in the hands of a little girl yesterday. It's a pity that the natives didn't recognize its value, thinking it was just an ordinary stone. They even gave it to a child to play with!"
"These guys, they have really gone astray because of Xu Fu, they only care about gold, silver, and copper coins, they have no understanding of gemstones!"
"It's a good thing they don't understand, otherwise, where would we go to pick up the good deals?"
……
The soldiers chatted as they walked.
While cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers occasionally tucked a few things into their pockets, and the young kids were not unaware of it.
They simply turned a blind eye to it, with one eye open and one eye closed!
这是海军第一次出海，谁的心里都没底，在这种情况下还甘愿跟随，那也是将生死置之度外，甘愿相信嬴飞羽的。
所以他也不在意那一点半点的战利品。
How much can they take even if they try their best?
They can't possibly stuff everything into their arms, can they?
Ten days later, the three armies converged outside the Jiuzhou city.
This is the information obtained through eavesdropping.
There is only one city on the entire island.
The city has tall and strong buildings, and its appearance is no different from the cities in the Great Qin Empire. The guards are strict, and anyone entering or leaving the city is interrogated!
Based on this, it can be inferred that Xu Fu should be here.
Among the people living in the city, apart from the indigenous people, there should also be the three thousand young men and women brought by that old man from Da Qin!
Once the target is identified, the scout notifies the other two groups of troops, resolves the remaining villages, and gathers here to attack the city together!
"Haha! Lao Zhang, you're amazing! You've equipped the entire team with cavalry!"
After meeting, Han Xin patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"You guys are not bad either, most of you can ride horses, and even if there aren't any, you can ride cows!"
"Hahaha!" Translation:
Zhang Liang glanced at the team behind Han Xin and joked,
"Hey! Don't mention it, we managed to snatch over a hundred horses on the first day. We thought there would be even more ahead, but it turns out that those villages in the back hardly raise any horses, although there are plenty of cows! There's no choice but to ride on cows, better than having nothing, right?"
"But this thing also has an advantage, and that is strength! When transporting loot, it takes a lot of effort!"
Han Xin shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Among the three teams, they captured the most number of horses on the first day, but by the end, they still couldn't turn all the teams into cavalry!
They were shocked when they saw the team of little boys.
Not only were they all armed as cavalry, they also brought back nearly 5,000 horses!
"Oh my goodness, young master, how did you manage this? Did you stumble upon a stable?"
"There is no horse ranch in this desolate place. The only reason we found more loot is because we passed through densely populated villages!"
Before setting off, the three teams specifically searched for the approximate map of Kyushu Island during this period on the system to avoid redundancy.
Finally, it was decided that Han Xin would lead the troops to patrol the periphery with the port as the center.
Zhang Liang would lead the troops to sweep the middle position, while Xiao Zhengtai would clean the area closest to the port!
Unexpectedly, Xu Fu's city was located right at his center position, so within his cleaning range, villages and tribes were the most concentrated!
The number of wealthy people living here is even higher, and the spoils we have captured are more than the combined total of both teams!
"Young master, our team has not encountered many villages in total. We have worked hard but haven't had much fun. This time, during the siege, let our team be the vanguard and charge into the city to have a good time!"
Han Xin folded his arms and exclaimed excitedly.
"You're being delusional, we're still waiting for this opportunity!"
Peng Yue, a member of Zhang Liang's team, immediately became unwilling and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Who doesn't know that Han Xin has the most military achievements in capturing cities? He wants to take advantage of this? We definitely can't let him!
"What are you waiting for? What should we do?"
Fan Kuo stood beside the little kid and also started arguing with them.
Attacking a city not only brings military achievements, but also allows us to collect the most severed heads, which is extremely satisfying. Everyone wants to be the first to rush in!
"Everyone must not take it lightly!"
Little boy puts away his binoculars and reminds everyone.
At this moment, the distant city is tightly closed with its gates. That old man, Xu Fu, should have already received the message.
