Hearing Song Yu say this, Deng Jingshan couldn't help but be indignant.

"Why did Li Ze look down on Zhang Shuai so much? Just because we lost a game on the banks of the Yishui River? If we win that game, we're afraid that the form of both sides will change places. ”

Song Yu smiled bitterly: "Thorn History, we didn't just lose on the banks of the Yishui River, we also lost in Yingzhou and Mozhou. Now that we have lost the richest place and are forced to live in the wild northeast, it is no wonder that Li Ze looks down on us. ”

"Liaozhou, Yingzhou and other places are indeed barbaric, but the land is vast, rich in minerals, and there are actually a lot of people, as long as we completely conquer this land, there is still a lot to be done." Deng Jingshan sneered and said: "Look at the current Pingzhou, we have only been here for more than two years, and we have cultivated so much fertile land, and the land here is so fertile, although only one season of grain can be planted every year, but the vast land is enough to make up for this shortcoming." ”

Song Yu said: "Assassin History, Pingzhou is indeed undergoing large-scale development now, but don't forget, the real wealth is not in our hands, but in the hands of Liu Siyuan's people." Even if we go back this time, I'm afraid the situation will be more difficult than before. In the past, you still had soldiers and horses far superior to him in your hands, and you could suppress him, but after you go back this time, the strength of the two sides will be reversed, even if it is Zhang Dashuai, I am afraid that he will no longer support you so obviously. ”

Deng Jingshan said hatefully: "Zhang Dashuai must know in his heart that people like Liu Siyu will only be loyal to themselves, and they will never go to the soup for Zhang Dashuai." ”

Of course Zhang Dashuai understands, but what can Zhang Dashuai do? So after we go back, we can only rely on ourselves to regain the disadvantage little by little until we completely subdue the other party. In the past, you were too soft-hearted towards them, if you listened to me, when you first entered Pingzhou, you took the opportunity to take the Liu family, and now it will be much better. Song Yu sighed.

"How dare you do this in such a situation?" Deng Jingshan shook his head, but he didn't regret it.

"Thorn History, after we go back this time, we will also change our ways." Song Yu said.

"How do you change course?"

Song Yu thought for a moment and said: "In the past, when we first entered Pingzhou and other places, in order to stabilize our rule, we had to make every effort to deal with the local natives, and those local tycoons were completely out of breath under our suppression, which did help us gain a firm foothold in Pingzhou as quickly as possible, but it also brought a negative effect, that is, people like Liu Siyuan took the opportunity to sit big." After going back this time, our strength is far less than Liu Siyuan, and those who can unite with us are these local heroes. ”

Deng Jingshan nodded slightly.

"With our support, those local heroes can compete with Liu Siyuan, and slowly increase our strength little by little." Song Yu said: "Secondly, in the past two years, I have also been paying attention to Li Ze's rule in Fuzhou and other places, and their practices have also reminded us that those savages, miscellaneous hus, and those small tribes can actually be our help, if we no longer capture them as slaves and no longer impose heavy taxes on them, they can actually do more for us." ”

"You mean?"

"Learn from Li Ze's practice, give these people a loan, give them land, give them cattle and sheep, give them farm tools, teach them how to farm, as long as these people settle down in a certain place for a long time, they can create wealth for us. Wouldn't it be better to stop leaning heavily on taxes, to give them hope, and to praise our virtue every year, and to work on the land with all their hearts, than to make a hammer deal like we used to have? Song Yu was a little excited.

"But it will take time!"

"In the past, we were always worried that Li Ze would attack in a big way, so we dried up and fished, killing chickens and eggs, but now we have time." Song Yu said: "How long do you think it will take for Li Ze to defeat Zhu Wen?" ”

"The strength of these two is not much different, right? Who can beat whom, it can still be said. Deng Jingshan shook his head and said.

"Ahh Song Yu said: "The closer they are, the longer they want to defeat their opponents, so are we afraid that we won't have time?" Li Ze can govern those poor places vigorously, why can't we learn from their policies? In the past, we couldn't learn it, but now, we can. If we don't learn from Li Ze's set, how can we defeat Liu Siyuan and regain power? ”

Deng Jingshan clenched his fists and hammered the table: "That's it, without strength, there will be nothing." If Liu Siyuan is not defeated, Dashuai will only value him more in the future, even though I am Dashuai's old brother, but Dashuai is also a practical person, if I don't have the strength, at most I will be given a false position to support the elderly. ”

"Don't be optimistic about the history of the assassin, Shi Yi is not a handsome old brother?" Song Yu sneered: "The winner takes everything, Shi Yi did not hesitate to die in order for his family to survive, but what about his son Shi Kuan now?" has been degraded again and again, and now he has been reduced to a petty official in Tuntian. Thorn Shi doesn't want to fall to this point, right? ”

Deng Jingshan's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Isn't it tomorrow to start sending wounded soldiers over? I'll go over and take a look, and meet with Han Qi, Liu Chenglin and others. Song Yu said: "Han Qi came here, I'm afraid he came to end the war with us." He must have brought Li Ze's latest instructions, and if we talk to him, we will have more confidence in our hearts. ”

"In this way, there will be Lau Sima." Deng Jingshan said: "Tell Han Qi that I agree to take 5,000 people with me, but I have to pick the 5,000 people myself." ”

"I understand."

The next day, when the sky was light, the first batch of 500 soldiers of the Lu Long Army, who were the most seriously wounded, were sent out of the camp of the Lu Long Army, and when they reached the middle line of confrontation between the two sides, the Lu Long soldiers laid down the wounded, and turned away in the midst of the desperate cries of the wounded.

The wounded did not know what they were facing, only that their companions had abandoned them and handed them over to the enemy.

Song Yu's face twitched slightly, but he still stood firm on the snow.

Lu Longbing left, and the soldiers of the right Xiaowei walked over, in groups of two, lifted the stretcher, and headed in the direction of the right Xiaowei camp. At such a state, those seriously injured finally put away their tears, the left and right are already like this, it's a big deal, it's just a dead word.

It's just that the injustice and resentment in my heart always linger.

In the right Xiaowei battalion, the huge field hospital was immediately busy. The doctors and medicines of the whole army have all been concentrated in the field hospital at this moment.

Song Yu, accompanied by Gu Han, witnessed the military doctors of Right Xiaowei begin to treat those seriously wounded before leaving the field hospital.

He knew that he would never see the wounded again.

Even if they recover from their injuries in the future, their hearts no longer belong to Lu Longjun.

Unlike Deng Jingshan's big tent that looks like an igloo, Liu Chenglin's big tent of the Chinese army is as warm as spring. An iron stove was installed in the center of the big tent, next to it was a neatly stacked firewood stomping, an iron pipe poked out from the stove, directly outside the big tent, Liu Chenglin, Han Qi, Xue Chong and others sat around the stove, and a copper kettle above the stove kept bubbling steam from the spout.

When Song Yu walked in, several people in the room stood up.

"Song Sima, it's time to rest assured, right?" Han Qi, as the person with the highest official position here, said to Song Yu with a smile.

Song Yu bowed his hand: "Everyone, Song Yu has thanked you here." ”

Han Qi smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to the stove and said, "Please." ”

Song Yu sat down, put his hand on the stove, his hand was a little frozen and stiff and felt the warmth from the stove, and Gu Han, who followed in, moved a small bench by himself and sat behind several people.

"What we mean, I already understand what Deng Tingshi wants." Han Qi said: "Since Sima Song has come here, I think I have agreed to this. ”

Song Yu nodded: "So far, we actually have no other way out, in order to reduce losses, we can only do this." I want to ask, does Li Xiang mean a comprehensive truce with us Lulong? ”

"Of course, we can even make a treaty with you!" Han Qi smiled and said, "When we came, what did Li Xiang mean was that not only can we have a truce, but we can also have cooperation in other aspects, such as comprehensive economic cooperation?" ”

Song Yu was a little incredulous: "Economic cooperation? ”

"Of course, there is no exchange! You have a lot of things we need, and we can give you a lot of what you lack! Since everyone is no longer fighting, business will naturally have to be done, don't you say? Han Qi said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that after our economy develops, it will become a threat to you?" Song Yu asked.

"We hope that you can manage and govern this place in the Northeast well." Liu Chenglin knocked on the stove and said with a smile: "In this way, when we take over, it will no longer be as wild as it is now, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?" ”

"General Liu is so confident." Song Yu said coldly.

"Of course I have that." Liu Chenglin said with a smile: "Otherwise, we wouldn't have allowed Deng Tingshi to leave with five thousand people so generously this time." ”

Song Yu was silent for a moment, and the simple battle of words was meaningless.

"We will choose these 5,000 people."

"No problem."

"These 5,000 people, they must be fully equipped with weapons and armor, otherwise it will be useless for us to go back!"

"Of course, do you want us to sell you some weapons and equipment? It doesn't matter if you don't have money now, Song Sima can make an IOU, anyway, we have to do business next, and we will pay when the time comes. Han Qi said.
