Chapter 264: Promotion
It's just that what Li Mu didn't expect was that Du Gao really looked down on the IQ of the Mongolians.
As the Yin soldiers of the Ghost Mansion also appeared during the day, most of the soldiers of the Mongolian army suffered from little culture, but thought that the Yin soldiers of the Ghost Mansion ate too many people and ate too much, and turned into powerful ghosts who were not afraid of the sun.
The army's morale was in turmoil, mutinies were frequent, and Chahan, who couldn't control it even by beheading Liwei, had no choice but to withdraw from the army.
The siege of Luzhou was lifted at once, and the people in the city celebrated with their crowns, and put up lights everywhere to celebrate the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
In the afternoon of this day, Du Shu, who had nothing to do, went out of the house and came to the most popular restaurant in Luzhou City.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw a familiar face tied with a scarf on the side of the street, lying on his back by the guardrail, drinking with Erlang's legs crossed.
Seeing this person ignore the contemptuous gaze of the guests upstairs and act arbitrarily and recklessly, it is really profligate and informal. Thinking that he understood the pain in the other party's heart, Du Shu hurriedly walked over and sat at the table, comforting: "Brother Li, why bother? Maybe the documents for the court's reward haven't come down yet, Brother Li, you don't have to be so discouraged.
Besides, Brother Li, you are also an official of the imperial court, and you have a scarf tied on your head, what's the matter? If your father sees it, he won't have to teach you a lesson. ”
Du Shu's worries are what Li Mu is worried about, the wealth of the world is worthless to him.
Now it has been more than a month since the end of the battle of Luzhou, and Du Gao, the governor of Luzhou, summed up the war and invited the imperial court, and a group of soldiers who worked hard in Luzhou were also rewarded.
Du Gao's Huaixi deputy envoy Banzheng, removed the word "deputy", and continued to stay in Luzhou to defend against Mongolia.
Commander Nie Bin led the Imperial Forest Army back to Beijing. Lu Wende, who had no merit in the battle and also had hard work, was transferred to Hubei. went to Xiangyang to assist the famous general Meng Heng to resume production.
Li Mu's righteous brother Wang Jian fought bravely and killed the enemy. Du Gao is also interesting enough. In terms of meritorious deeds, Wang Jian, a spearman, was directly mentioned to the head of the capital who could command a hundred people, and invited a captain to the imperial court. Although this lieutenant has no grade, he can still receive a salary, which can be regarded as allowing Wang Jian to enter the official career in one step.
Jiang Hai was originally the county lieutenant of Liang County, but Liang County was ruined and lost, and it was also a sin to lose the city. Although Du Gao was protected by his words, the court counted his merits and demerits to offset him. Throw it to Lujiang County and continue to be a county lieutenant.
Although the righteous brother Wang Jian was promoted, like Jiang Hai, he was transferred by the imperial court and was actually transferred to the front line of Bashu to fight. Without two brothers by his side, Li Mu, who is alone, has the official position of the master of the horse supervisor in Liang County, and he wanders around Luzhou City every day with nothing to do.
Although Du Shu's worries are groundless, they are also good intentions after all.
Seeing that Du Shu was sitting in danger, and it was not good to continue to be in shape with outsiders, Li Mu sat up straight. Put down your glass and listen to the noise inside and outside the restaurant. said with emotion: "Thank you Brother Du for worrying, what I'm worried about is not those vanities. Now that the battle of Luzhou has only passed for more than a month, both the soldiers and the people in the city seem to have forgotten the previous pain.
After this battle, except for Luzhou City, all the five counties under his rule were destroyed in the war. In addition, the surrounding villages and towns were also slaughtered by Tartar dogs, and our people suffered 300,000 or 400,000 casualties in this battle. Compared to the festivities and bustles of the city, it was as if there had never been a war before.
In a corner of peace, lingering for a long time, with the mentality of our Song people, how to fight against the Tartar dog. Only those who have been thieves for a thousand days have no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. The Tartar dogs retreated, but the morale of the army was unstable for a while, and it would not be much longer for them to regroup. ”
Before Li Mu went to Liang County to be an official, he offended the Empress Dowager's forces and the Shiren group, and his combat merits were ignored, which was expected by Li Mu. Fame and fortune are not important to Li Mu, the important thing is that it is enough to stay on the front line to kill the enemy and offer advice.
It's just that seeing that the Song people in the south, from the temple to the people, are all passive and defensive, Li Mu held back the anger in his stomach, and he had nowhere to go, so he had to get drunk to relieve his sorrows.
was pressed by his father, the battle of Luzhou was over, and Du Shu, who had no reward, was actually dissatisfied.
Originally, he came to persuade Li Mu, but after listening to Li Mu's complaints, Du Shu also poured himself wine, and said while drinking: "Yes, I take care of logistics every time I fight, and there is no reward after the battle."
I know that Daddy loves me and doesn't want me out of his sight. But I'm so old, my husband was born in troubled times, so I should gallop on the battlefield like Brother Li, make contributions, and stay at home every day. Brother Li, you say, am I worse than you? ”
"Hahaha, Brother Du, don't you don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings! Du Shuai is not suppressing you, but sharpening you. Young and vigorous, once he has merit, he becomes a big official, but it is easy to get carried away and lose himself. There is a handsome man pressing you, you are on the road to the official career, and it is definitely more stable than one step to the sky. ”
After listening to Du Shu's self-pity and self-pity, Li Mu, who was quite amused, immediately ran the Yijin Sutra in his body, and after sweeping away the smell of alcohol, he continued: "Brother Du, don't worry, the ambition of the Tartar dog and wolf is far from the petty fight of Liaojin back then. The Tartar dogs swept across Europe and Asia, and on the way to the west, they destroyed countless countries.
The southern expedition to our Great Song Dynasty is not once or twice. Our Song people and their Tartar dogs are endless, Brother Du does not have to be afraid of no battle to fight, there are many opportunities to make contributions.
It's just that in the days of armistice like the present, there are fewer things to do in the light of wine and wine, and more important things to restore production and prepare the military. We wait for the warriors to practice martial arts diligently, train the soldiers, and only wait for the future war to be useful, report to the Jiangshan Sheji, and protect the people of Li, but ask for a clear conscience. ”
"Well said, what a clear conscience!"
Just when Li Mu and Du Shu were talking about wine and talking about the world, a middle-aged scribe wearing a green coat and a square scarf of the same color called out "Okay", suddenly stood next to Li Mu's table, and then said: "The store is full, are you two willing to fight for a seat?" ”
Unlike Du Shu, who was lying on the table silently, Li Mu, who was not strong enough to drink, and Li Mu, who had already woken up from his internal strength, saw this middle-aged scribe, who was about forty or fifty years old, tall and thin, with a cool demeanor, Xiao Shuxuan, who was as clear as a god, appeared suddenly and naturally, and was by no means an idle character.
Although his skills have been greatly lost, his eyesight is still there. The man in Tsing Yi in front of him was obviously sitting in the store, but he didn't feel any breath, he was clearly bright and restrained, and his skills were unfathomable, and he had reached the realm of returning to the basics.
Compared with the appearance in his memory, Li Mu, who suddenly understood a little, didn't care, and said with a smile: "Although Mr. is seated, it's just that my friend is drunk and talking nonsense, so don't mind sir." ”
"Out of the way! I just listened to the little brother's high arguments, and it seems that he has the ambition to serve the country. It's just that the Mongols are powerful, and the world has won eight out of ten, and the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia and Khorezm have all died in Mongolia, and our Song people are helpless in a corner of peace.
The general trend of the world has been decided, the mantis arm blocks the car, and the laborious struggle is also a waste of time, rather than fighting on the battlefield to fight for your life, it is better to find a secluded life in the mountains and woodlands, and not to ask about the world. ”
I thought that the people in Tsing Yi had any opinions, but I didn't expect it to be these bastard words, Li Mu, who was carrying the task of reversing the world, immediately changed his face, stood up and scolded:
"That's not what I said, I was born when the Song people learned martial arts, they didn't protect their families and defend the country, they didn't get rid of violence, and they said anything depressing. Don't think that you are the East Evil, Lao Tzu is afraid of you. (To be continued.) )
