Chapter 291: Casualties

Qiao Tongtong looked at Xia Jinqi and didn't say anything more, she turned her head to look at Lu Jian and said, "Hou Ye, you suffered some small injuries two days ago, although it was a small injury, but Hou Ye should know what his body is like, and take advantage of nothing to rest more, so that he has the energy to continue to fight against the Huns, right?" ”

Lu Jian smiled and bowed his head, he knew his body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has been in poor health since that incident, but thanks to Qiao Tongtong's help with his conditioning, it took six years for his body to look the same as before, but it just looked the same.

"Ouch, old man, I have old arms and legs, I'm tired from walking all the way, and you still have to talk at the door?"

Lu Jian looked at Lu Li and Lu Bai, and the two hurriedly sent people to the General's Mansion to invite them.

Shi Tian bowed down and said goodbye, preparing to leave, since the young general was not there, it was useless for him to stay.

When he walked past Lu Li, Lu Li grabbed him, "I heard the old gentleman say that someone came to me with my greeting post more than ten days ago, but I don't know if it's Your Excellency?" ”

Shi Tianzhong was stunned, this handsome young man was the young general who was famous for a while?

When he first saw Tangshan, he always covered his face, and his voice was deliberately changed, today is the first time he has seen Lu Li, it is rumored that the major general is a handsome young man, he has never believed it, the young man must be a young man, as for the handsome...

I'm afraid it's going to be greatly discounted.

In the Great Yin Dynasty, men take white skin as a representative of handsomeness, if you have good facial features and fair skin, then you are a handsome person, but if you are dark-skinned, even if your facial features are as handsome as a knife, then you are not handsome.

And Lu Li has been in the mixed army since he was a child, and he is destined to be a general on the battlefield, he is exposed to the wind and the sun in the sun, even if he is born with white skin, he will be tanned, his facial features may be very upright, but he is definitely not handsome.

Because of this thought, when he saw Lu Li and Qiao Tongtong appear together, he never thought that this person was him!

"You..." Shi Tianzong didn't know what to say at this time.

Lu Li interrupted him and said, "Since Your Excellency has come to me, you might as well go into the mansion to talk about it, how about it?" ”

Shi Tianzong nodded mechanically, and followed Lu Li into the General's Mansion again.

As for the prefect and the concierge, what happened?

Of course, the prefect was kneeling outside the mansion, without Xia Jinqi's permission, would he dare to stand up?

The rest of the gatehouse, when Xia Jinqi and his party entered the mansion, the prefect ordered the officials to detain him and lock him up!

In the main hall, Lu Jian asked, "Why did the old gentleman come?" I don't know the body of my second granddaughter...? ”

"She's fine, she'll be back in two days. Who is that person with Lu Qinghui? ”

Lu Jian didn't know him, so he had to look at Lu Bai, Lu Bai shook his head, "Sun Er doesn't know, when he came, he came with the name of his second brother, so Sun Er invited him into the house." ”

At this time, in the side hall, Lu Li sat at the top, and Shi Tian bowed and stood in the middle.

"There's not that much courtesy in my case, and I don't like it very much. You called..."

"In Xiashi Tianzhong, it belongs to the three masters of Tangshan." Although Lu Li said it, he was still respectful.

"Well, what about the purpose of your visit this time?" Lu Li asked knowingly.

Shi Tianzong replied very respectfully, "After thinking about it, I felt that the young general's words were very reasonable, so I discussed it with my eldest brother and second brother, we decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, most of the brothers in the village also thought the same, we have done enough to be bandits, who doesn't want to be able to be a man in the open?" ”

He paused and said, "If the major general can really help us clear our identities, I can guarantee that all the brothers in the village are willing to follow the young general loyally!" ”

Lu Li smiled, "Then if you can't clear your name, you won't follow faithfully, right?" ”

Shi Tianzhong was stunned, "General..."

"I'm joking, but what I'm saying may be true, maybe you still don't have any identity on the surface, and you're not even as good as bandits, after all, bandits still have a freedom, and if you want to go down the mountain to rob them, but if you follow me, this thing won't work, and at the same time, I will use the requirements of the army to ask for you, and I will also pay you, but I don't need you to go to the battlefield for the time being."

Shi Tianzong became vigilant, "What does the young general want us to do?" ”

"Soldiers, private soldiers, do you dare? Would you like it, brothers? If this is known, it is certain death. ”

Shi Tianzong shuddered when he heard the word "private soldier", the private soldier was found to be dead, but the person who raised the private soldier was found to be a big crime of quarreling and exterminating the clan!

Besides, what kind of people would raise private soldiers?

Rebellion?

He looked at Lu Li and felt that what he was thinking must not be true.

Lu Li smiled, "Do you remember the battle seven years ago?" ”

Shi Tianzong nodded.

Lu Li said, "After the war ended seven years ago, although I... But I also know the dynamics of the DPRK and China, the total number of sacrifices submitted by the Marquis of Dingbei that year was only four or five thousand, and it was said that there were more seriously injured, and some of the seriously injured had to retire, and 10,000 people were reported when they were full, but in fact? ”

"I met an old man whose son went to the battlefield and disappeared, he went to the yamen to receive a pension, and the people in the yamen said that his son was still receiving a pension? But he went to the barracks many times but couldn't see anyone, and his mother-in-law was also beaten to death by the people of the yamen for this matter. Alas, from the army and the army, he has gone from a situation where he has no one in life and no body in death, which is sad and lamentable! ”

Even if Shi Tianzong is just a bandit, he also knows that there must be someone who is a ghost, underreporting the number of deaths and retirements, and he eats kickbacks in it, to put it bluntly, he is greedy for food!

"It seems that you understand, if it is a small battle, this kind of casualties is normal, and it may even be more, there are several riots in Jicheng every year, the death toll is less than 100, and there are many wounded, and in the end the number of retirees can reach 1,000, it is just a small battle, but is the one seven years ago small?"

Seven years ago, the Huns all entered Yunzhou City, can this battle be considered small?

If this situation can be ended with such a few casualties, then why does Dayin's military recruitment office recruit soldiers every year?

"Major General, but what does this have to do with private soldiers?"

"I just want to enter the army in your name and receive food, but you don't serve in the army, you must know that Yunzhou is the power of the Chinese army, and if you join the army at this time, it must be under the banner of the Chinese army, and my Lu family is the left army!"

Shi Tianzong thought about it slightly, and could understand what Lu Li meant, these bandits were registered in the army, and they used this to clear their identities, but Lu Li didn't want to leave the power to the Chinese army, so he took them away, but the food and salary were from the Chinese army!

"But... Major General, as soon as the war is over, the Chinese army will return to the hands of the Marquis of Dingbei, that..."

Lu Li smiled faintly, "It's okay, the food and salary are not only from the hands of the Marquis of Dingbei." ”

Shi Tianzhong was stunned, thinking of the jurisdiction of the prefect of Yunzhou, he understood it in seconds.

It turns out that His Royal Highness the Five Princes are all in this game of chess calculated by the major general!
