Li An looked at Nan Jiyun and saw that he showed no signs of injury, so he smiled and praised: "Yes, after a tough battle, you were not injured." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Hehe, it's the plate armor prepared by the general that is good, airtight and invulnerable, it's just too inflexible, otherwise, the credit for capturing these five or six hundred bandit captives must be ours."

Nan Jiyun was in a good mood, but he could see that he always had some regrets in his heart, after all, the inflexibility of the plate armor made him lose part of his credit.

"It's really not greedy enough, in this battle, you are the first to attack the wall, and you should be the first to take the lead, haha!"

Li An scolded with a smile.

"Hahaha......"

Several generals burst out laughing.

"General, a cave has been found behind the Juyi Hall."

Li An was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the generals: "The rest of the bandits must have run into the cave, go and take a look." ”

Under the leadership of Li An, the generals strode towards the cave and entered the cave in turn.

The temperature outside is relatively high, and as soon as you enter the cave, you will feel that it is very cool inside, and it is a good place to cool off.

"This bandit's lair is really a treasure, there is actually a natural cave, which is cool in summer and must be warm in winter."

Li An sighed casually.

"General, there's a light ahead, it looks like there's an exit."

The crowd followed the light, and sure enough, they were outside, and the bandits who had fled had already disappeared without a trace.

"I didn't expect that there was a back road in the bandits' lair, if a soldier and horse were deployed here in advance, these bandits would be unable to escape, but unfortunately, it's a pity."

Unable to completely annihilate this gang of bandits, the generals felt a little pity.

"General, the last general has been interrogated, and the bandits who escaped are all barbarians who plan the land, and those captured by our army are all locals of Luzhou."

"General, sooner or later, my Pingnan Army will pacify the land, these bandits can run for a while, but they can't run for a lifetime, and sooner or later they will be destroyed by us."

Li An nodded lightly and looked at the generals: "If the bandits run away, run away!" However, the cottage here is a good place, and it would be a pity if it burned down. ”

"The general wants to garrison troops here?"

"That's right, let the combat regiments 1 to 8 take turns to garrison here, and use this as a camp for our army's southward advance."

Li An made up his mind to build this camp into an advance base for the Pingnan Army, after all, the south of the cottage here is not far away, and this location is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a good choice as a base.

"General, a large amount of property has been seized from the cottage, and there are hundreds of boxes."

"General, dozens of young women were found in the private prison of the cottage."

"Dozens of young women?"

Li An was shocked, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

In the private prison of the cottage, there were indeed dozens of young women in unclothed clothes, and it was clear that these women were looted by bandits from nearby mountain villages as slaves for them to vent.

"Find some clothes for them to put on and send them home."

Li An gave the order and turned to leave, he really didn't want to see more such a scene.

"General, these barbarian bandits are so hateful, they actually bully the people so much."

"Even if they run fast, the next time they meet, they will definitely be broken into pieces."

"A group of bandits with no humanity, they can't be arrogant for long."

Ang Lee did not comment, but walked to the place where a large amount of gold and silver treasures had been found, and made a rough inventory of the loot.

"There are so many belongings, when did the bandits become so rich."

Li An touched the real money, and felt great surprise in his heart, of course, these belongings belonged to him now.

"Bring all these belongings back to the gourd valley, and the army will return immediately."

After leaving behind a combat regiment, Li An led the main army under his command to leave the bandits' lair and return to the Gourd Valley.

On the way back, Ang Lee has been reflecting on the success or failure of this battle, in order to learn lessons and prepare for more intense battles in the future.

The victory in this battle has proved that engineering equipment such as catapults is indeed an extremely important high-power weapon in the offensive operation, and plate armor is also suitable for attacking the fortified battle, and can reduce the losses of their own side as much as possible.

However, the flaw of the plate armor was also verified, that is, as expected, it was not flexible and comfortable enough, and it was difficult to adapt to the pursuit battle.

That is to say, although the plate armor has a strong defense, it cannot be equipped on a large scale, because in the future battles, most of them will be mobile and flexible movement warfare, and there are not many places where the plate armor needs to be used, and a small amount of preparation is enough.

In fact, there is also a powerful weapon chariot for field combat, which is also very powerful, but due to the poor adaptability of the battlefield, there are not many places that can exert its power, and for this reason, it has been eliminated for thousands of years.

This battle made Li An full of greater confidence in the Pingnan Army, and let Li An see that the Pingnan Army was a force that could fight tough battles and had enough confidence to face the situation in the planing area.

In the following period, Li An's focus was to continue to strictly train the officers and men of the Pingnan Army, and gradually began to pay attention to the situation in the planing area, ready to find the right time to strike at any time.

With a large amount of captured treasures, Li An and the main force of the Pingnan Army returned to the Hulu Valley in a mighty way, and this time they returned triumphantly, and the soldiers were all very excited, and the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions were even more excited.

After returning to Hulu Valley, Li An immediately ordered that all the soldiers should be rewarded, not only all the soldiers of the Pingnan Army who participated in the war, but also all the soldiers of the Longwu Army who stayed in the Hulu Valley.

Of course, the amount of such large-scale rewards is relatively limited, and only those meritorious soldiers who rush to the forefront will receive the highest rewards.

In view of the meritorious performance of the soldiers, Li An rewarded them richly, among which Nan Jiyun was the first meritorious service, and the most rewarded, and Li An officially made him the captain of the special regiment, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command increased by six times.

In addition, some soldiers who have made more meritorious contributions are also given rich rewards, and those who are promoted and those who are rewarded generously abound.

Such a large-scale reward for his subordinates is naturally to make the soldiers under his command more motivated, so that they can train more seriously and prepare for more victories in the future.

The bandit captives who were taken to Hulu Valley were all taken into the manufacturing workshop in Donggu, where they were responsible for coolies, and the soldiers of the Longwu Army were in charge of guarding them, and in addition, there were bandits who were subdued last time working with them, so it should not be a big problem to 'take care of' each other.

"General, congratulations on your great victory and making decisions for the people of Luzhou."

Tong Sanpang saluted Li Ang with a smile on his face.

"It's over, is there anything wrong?"

Tong Sanpang hurriedly handed over the accounts of these days to Li An's hands and reported: "General, this is the accounts of the last ten days, you can see it." ”

Li An took the account, and was immediately frightened by a series of large numbers, eased his emotions, and patted Tong Sanpang's shoulder, Tong Sanpang, who was in pain, bared his teeth for a while, and unconsciously bent his knees.

"Tong San is fat, he did a good job, and it's great to have such a high harvest."

Li Anxin was overjoyed, and naturally he was willing to use all kinds of beautiful words.

When Tong Sanpang heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "General, these are what villains should do, the share that belongs to villains, the villain has already withdrawn it, and he hasn't taken any more points." ”

"Okay, Tong Sanfat, as long as you do well, the part that belongs to you will naturally not be given to you less, continue to work hard, Ben will always support you."

Li An said loudly, so that Tong Sanfat could be reassured.

"General, the villain understands, the villain understands."

Tong San was overjoyed, his voice trembled a little, and he had no worries anymore when he hugged his thick enough thighs.

"Go ahead!"

It is true that Ang Lee supports Tong Sanpang, but he and Tong Sanpang really don't have much in common, and these three fat people, except for complimenting themselves, can't say too useful dry goods at all.

Tong Sanfat retreated in a proper manner, and ran towards the mine with a fart.

Looking at the unimaginable harvest, Ang Lee's heart was beautiful, more comfortable than when he had a bang with Zhao Yufu in the East Girl Country.

'If you have so much money, how can you spend it?' Surrender to the treasury? No, just leave it like that, of course, it's a waste. ’

Li An scolded in his heart, paused, and said to himself: "The Pingnan Army only has 3,500 soldiers, although the strength is outstanding, but the strength is indeed a little insufficient, if you want to control the land of southern Xinjiang for a long time, it is better to expand some." ”

"Big brother, what is the expansion?"

Li Kunxiong walked in from the outside and listened to half of the words.

"Of course, it's to expand the Pingnan Army."

Li Kunxiong was taken aback: "Eldest brother, the original decree said that it was good to recruit 3,000 troops, but now it has exceeded the quota of 500, if the army is expanded again, Your Majesty will be blamed, it is better to play Your Majesty and let Your Majesty decide." ”

"Your Majesty is sure, but it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and it will be too delayed, so expand the army first, and play Your Majesty at the same time as the expansion of the army, and point out the necessity and urgency of the army expansion, Your Majesty will not object."

Ang Lee explained.

"How many troops does the eldest brother plan to expand?"

Li An thought for a moment: "Expand by 1,500 first, gather 5,000 soldiers and horses, and then see the situation!" ”

"Expanding the number of 1,500 soldiers, this is not a big deal, Your Majesty should agree, let me do it!"

Li Kunxiong asked for his life.

Li An smiled and nodded: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, Kunxiong, don't let the eldest brother down." ”

"Big brother, don't worry! At this time, now, the Pingnan army has won many victories, wiped out the bandits in Luzhou, and the soldiers have repeatedly received a lot of rewards, and the people of Luzhou are scrambling to be soldiers? The task can be completed in three days. ”

Li Kunxiong is full of confidence in the current situation of conscription.

"Okay, Kunxiong, this matter will be left to you, you can go and prepare now."

"Yes, big brother."

Thinking of the 1,500 troops that will be added soon, Li An has an inexplicable sense of excitement in his heart, the more soldiers and horses under his command, the less pressure there will be to solve the situation in the future.

In terms of the distribution of soldiers for this batch of recruits, Li An decided to focus on the special regiment and the baggage regiment, especially the transport team of the baggage regiment, which is only 165 people, and the scale is too small.

Fighting a war is not only about military strength, but also about logistics and financial resources, and it is the golden rule of fighting a war since ancient times.

Of course, the more soldiers and horses in the transport team, the more it can support the Pingnan Army to have a larger combat radius, if it is a long-distance and long-term military operation, the transport team is far from being competent, then it is necessary to levy a large number of civilian men to be responsible for transporting supplies, so there is also a phenomenon, that is, to dispatch 100,000 troops on an expedition, often need to levy 1 million civilian soldiers, responsible for transporting various military supplies.

If you plan not to bother the people, you must fight quickly, plus increase the size of the baggage regiment, so that the baggage regiment itself can meet the needs of the entire Pingnan army.

"General, there is a businessman who calls himself Luo Dahu who asks to see you."

"Oh, Luo Dahu is here, let him in."

Li An knew that Luo Dahu was coming, but a big incident had happened in the land.

"General Li is unharmed."

Luo Dahu saluted Ang Lee as a standard businessman.

Li An waved his hand, didn't even bother to say kind words, and asked directly: "Luo Dahu, you are in such a hurry to come, is there something big going on in the land." ”

Luo Dahu took a step forward and said eagerly: "General Li, something big has happened in the land, the father and son of the big ghost of Nanning Prefecture and the father and son of the Lizhou Assassin Shi Jiaqi, and the Qiuzhou Assassin Shi Jiaoyi joined forces with the army, and suddenly launched an attack on the Governor of Nanning Prefecture and the Queensland Assassin Shi Jiarijin, and killed the father and son of the King of Jiagui and the father and son of the Governor of Nanning Prefecture that night, and Nanning Prefecture and Queensland also fell into the hands of the Governor of Nanning. ”

"Oh, it's happening."

Li An was also a little shocked, these days, he put all his energy on suppressing bandits in Luzhou and training the Pingnan Army, and his attention to the land was almost zero, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, such a big thing would happen in the area.

"General Li, the wife of the king, and his son escaped from Nanning Prefecture, and mastered the six thousand elite soldiers outside the city, and is building a fortress to protect himself, and confronting the Tao of Jiao."

Luo Dahu continued.

"Under the blow of Chongdao, he actually failed to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it seems that he is in big trouble, haha!"

Li An smiled and asked, "Oh, by the way, how many people from the Dao are here, why did they suddenly attack and kill King Gui and Rijin, could it be that someone provoked them?" ”

Luo Dahu nodded and said: "General Li Gao sees that it is the conspiracy of the thief Pi Luoge to marry his daughter, which made Jiao Chongdao move his murderous intent and disturb the situation in the entire planing land, so that he can fish in troubled waters." ”

"A conspiracy to marry a girl? What exactly is the conspiracy to marry a girl, you can make it clear. ”

Ang Lee only has a vague impression of this history, and he doesn't know much about how Pi Luoge married his daughter.

Luo Dahu patiently told Li An about Pi Luo Ge marrying two biological daughters to the sons of King Gui and Ji Rijin, and told Li An that the prestige of Fu Chongdao was much higher than that of Ji Rijin, and Pi Luo Ge did this on purpose to provoke, of course, the specific details of this were not something he could understand.
