After piling up the dead Rong Di and horse corpses on the mountain road and burning them, after collecting the corpses of the Qin soldiers who died in battle, Meng Tian and Zhao Li returned to Fushi City with more than 1,000 soldiers. This time, he took 500 people to the grassland to attack the royal court of Rongdi, and when he came back, only 200 people were left of the 500 people, more than 100 people died on the way to the royal court, and the other more than 200 people died on the way to the Rongdi people and in the mountain road, and the rest of the people were basically injured.

The group returned to Fushi City, Wang Yi and Meng Wu led hundreds of Qin soldiers to wait for Meng Tian and his party outside Fushi City, and behind them were the local residents of Fushi City, all waiting for their sons, husbands, and their fathers to return safely.

Meng Tian led the team to the gate of Fushi City, and when he saw his father and Uncle Wang Di coming out of the city to meet him, Meng Tian got off the horse from a long distance and led the black wind to Meng Wu and Wang Ben. Meng Tian stepped forward and bowed to the ground, and said: "Uncle, father, Meng Tian is fortunate not to be dishonored, this time he went to the grassland to capture the king of Rongdi and the first warrior of Rongdi in the mouth of Rongdi, and then cut down all the more than 1,000 Rongdi cavalry who came to chase him. ”

Wang Di stepped forward to help Meng Tian up, and at the same time asked Zhao Li and the others who were kneeling on the ground behind Meng Tian to get up, Wang Ben patted Meng Tian on the shoulder and said, "Tian'er led the troops to defeat the royal court of the Rongdi people this time, and you have contributed a lot. We received news yesterday that the Rong Di army outside the Great Wall has begun to pull out the village, and today Du Hui escorted the king of the Rong Di people back to know why the Rong Di people retreated. ”

Meng Wu also came over, seeing that his son could return safely, Meng Wu was the happiest in his heart. Meng Wu said: "Yes, Tian'er, your uncle Wang has already written a military report to invite King Qin and ask for credit for you." ”

Meng Tian shook his head and said: "Father, uncle, the five hundred warriors I brought to capture King Rongdi this time are indispensable, but after these few days of fatigue and today's battle, they have not even survived half of them, I hope to be able to distribute my rewards to the families of these soldiers who died in battle, and reward these brave Mengjia soldiers." ”

Meng Wu said: "Okay, I will listen to you." Meng Wu walked to Meng Tian's side, faced the soldiers who followed Meng Tian to the grassland and survived, and said loudly: "The soldiers of the Mengjia army, this time they can defeat Rong Di, the Mengjia army is indispensable, I have already asked the king, each of the soldiers of the Mengjia army who went out this time has been promoted to three levels in a row, and everyone has a heavy reward." ”

Zhao Li took the lead in clasping his fists and said, "The last general thanked the general." ”

"Thank you, General. ”

The army began to enter the city, and during the process, the residents of Fushi City who were guarding the gate of the city searched for their Qin people among the returning Qin army, and found their relatives hugging each other and crying with joy. Those who did not find their relatives went to the carriage behind them to look for the corpses of their Qin people, and when they found them, they were lying on top of the corpses in pain. There are even those who have not even found the bodies of their relatives, after asking the familiar people who went together, and after learning that their relatives may have died outside the customs, they are even more uncomfortable and faint on the spot, but fortunately, they are accompanied by people next to them, so they do not faint to the ground.

Meng Tian saw all this, but he had no choice, all he could do was try his best to compensate these families. Since it is a war, casualties cannot be avoided, this is the fate that no one who can escape for a general, all he can do is to reduce casualties, for these soldiers who died bravely, whether it is him Meng Tian or any soldier of the Mengjia army, they all have the highest respect for these heroic souls.

Back in the barracks, Meng Tian took off the armor that he hadn't taken off for a few days, then took a happy bath, and then returned to his camp tent, collapsed on the bed and snored. This expedition to the grassland lasted nearly ten days, and the rest time did not exceed three hours every day during the ten days, and the rest of the time was either marching on horseback, or fighting wits and courage with the Rongdi people, and the body and mind were exhausted after ten days.

After arranging the problem of the soldiers who returned safely, Meng Wu came to his son's tent, saw Meng Tian lying on the bed and sleeping, knowing that his son was really tired, Meng Wu helped Meng Tian stuff the quilt, and then walked out of the camp.

When Meng Tian woke up, it was already dark, and he heard the sound of people talking everywhere outside the tent, so he got dressed and walked out of the tent. It turned out that all the soldiers in the barracks were celebrating this victory. Meng Tian stood outside the tent, looked at the scene in the barracks, and smiled, isn't it just such a day that he has been working hard for ten days?

A soldier saw Meng Tian standing outside the tent and shouted, "Major General, Major General is out!"

When everyone heard the shouting, they all looked in Meng Tian's direction, and some soldiers who were close ran to Meng Tian and offered him a bowl of wine. Meng Tian took the drink. He asked, "Isn't it forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks? Why did you drink it all today?"

A soldier replied: "The young general doesn't know, this time to pacify Rong Di, so that the Rong Di people will not dare to invade our Daqin border again for at least ten years, the general is very happy, and he specially allows us to have a big drink tonight." Major General, please. ”

Hearing that it was his uncle and father's order, Meng Tian raised the wine bowl in his hand and said, "Okay, everyone has a big drink tonight." After speaking, Meng Tian drank all the wine in his hand, and then walked to the crowd and drank with everyone.

Meng Tian found Wang Ji and Meng Wu, who were sitting together drinking. Seeing Meng Tian coming over, Meng Wu asked him to sit down, and immediately a soldier brought a jar of wine and a roasted leg of mutton. Meng Tian picked up the leg of mutton and took a bite, then picked up the wine and said to Wang Ben and Meng Wu: "Uncle Wang, father, Tian'er toasts you." ”

"Good. Wang Yi and Meng Wu also picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.

During the banquet, Meng Wu told Meng Tian that Du Hui would exterminate all the Rong Di people who escaped from the mountain road, except for a few people who surrendered, all the Rong Di people who chased and killed Meng Tian this time were destroyed, and because the royal court of the Rong Di people was attacked and the king was arrested, so the Rong Di people outside the city had withdrawn this afternoon, and Meng Wu and Wang Di had decided to return to Xianyang tomorrow.

Hearing his father say that he had decided to return to Xianyang tomorrow, Meng Tian was overjoyed, tomorrow's class teacher, he would be able to see Zi Yanran in two days, how could this not make him happy. After toasting his father and Wang Di with two glasses of wine, Meng Tian got up and left, coming to the wine table where Zhao Li and Du Hui were. Seeing Meng Tian coming, Zhao Li and Du Hui were naturally very happy, and they persuaded him to drink.

It didn't take long for Meng Tian to be half a jar of wine, and his face showed a flush, which looked extremely red under the reflection of the firelight. Meng Tian stood up slowly, Zhao Li and Du Hui beside him wanted to help him, but Meng Tian blocked him, signaling that he was not drunk and didn't need someone to help him. Meng Tian came to the center of the place where everyone was drinking with a bowl of wine, looked at the soldiers of the Meng family army beside him, and said: "Brothers, our victory today was bought by those three hundred compatriots with their lives, and the fact that we can stand here is also the blood of the martyrs of my Great Qin, let us pay tribute to them tonight for this victory, do it!"

"Dry. Everyone raised their glasses and drank them in one gulp.
