In the city of Lanzhou, large armies are gathered and military camps are everywhere.

In the camp of the firearms superintendent, a wail was heard.

"Shhh Be careful! Merton lay on the bed and said with a pained expression.

Mo Wu looked at the dead skin in his hand helplessly, and said patiently: "Young master, it's better to be patient, the sunburn on your back has been delayed for too long, if it is not disinfected, if it becomes inflamed, the consequences may be unimaginable." ”

Merton crossed the desert and went on an expedition to the Tulun River, although the battle was fruitful, but his back was severely sunburned, and the red girl was very scary.

Mo Wu picked up the alcohol and gently wiped it on Merton's wound, the sharp sting pain almost didn't make Merton jump.

"Young master, now that the war is over, when will I be able to return to Chang'an City." Mo Wu asked, distracting Merton by the way to ease the pain.

After Li Jing brought the army back to Lanzhou City, it had been repaired for several days, but he never gave the order to return to Chang'an City.

Merton grinned and gasped, explaining: "I'm afraid it will take a while to return to Chang'an City, now that the war has just ended, the mood of the whole army is still unstable, if you rashly march back to the court, I'm afraid it will cause a riot, that is, if you want to go back, I'm afraid it will also lead back, and the soldiers will follow." ”

Post-war stress syndrome is not unique to later generations, in ancient times, although there was no such word, but the wisdom of the ancients had already had a way to prevent and control it, otherwise once the soldiers returned to their hometowns and hurt people, I am afraid that it would be extremely harmful.

The expedition of the army lasted for more than two months, and it can be said that the officers and men of the whole army were in a state of high mental tension every day, and if they did not return to the DPRK rashly after repair, once a problem occurred, the consequences would be extremely serious.

"I see!"

Mo Wu said this, and his subordinates did not stop, and quickly bandaged Merton's wounds.

"Don't see water these days, change the dressing every three days, and soon it will be cured in seven days." Ink five ways.

Merton nodded weakly, and lay there like a dead dog enjoying this rare leisure time.

However, Merton's leisure time did not last long, and as the drums sounded, Merton listened to it, ignoring the pain, and suddenly rose.

"Drums!"

Merton simply put on his armor, jumped on his horse, and headed straight for Li Jing's temporary station, Taishoufu.

As soon as the first wave of drums fell, Merton stepped into the Taishou Mansion and found that all the generals had been gathered.

"What's wrong?"

Merton leaned over to Su Dingfang and whispered, Now that the war is over, how could the drums suddenly sound!

Su Dingfang nodded and whispered: "Chang'an City has already come!" ”

Merton suddenly realized that now that the army has returned victoriously, the imperial court will naturally send ministers to comfort the army.

Not long after, the Qincha, who had come to comfort the army, arrived, and to his surprise, it was Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, whom Merton had seen when he went to the Ministry of Officials to report.

"See Chincha-sama!"

"Everyone, please get up, you are a great hero of the Western Expedition, and the old man deserves it!" Gao Shilian said kindly.

Li Jing stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord Gao has come from afar, and he has been tired of traveling and driving. ”

Gao Shilian's eyes turned, and when he saw Merton behind the generals, he couldn't help but smile and said: "If it was before, the old man went thousands of miles, this old life would definitely be lost, but with the four-wheeled carriage and brick road made by the ink festival, the old man lay comfortably on the car for three days, and then arrived in Lanzhou, which is really several times more convenient!" ”

I have to say that if it weren't for the convenience of the brick road, Gao Shilian really wouldn't dare to take this errand of the Qincha, otherwise the long journey would cost him his life, Li Jing also agreed, the convenience of the brick road can be said to be vividly expressed in this Western Expedition, and it can be said that it is the greatest hero of the Western Expedition.

Merton suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Gao has won the prize!" ”

"Private matters aside, I'll wait for the next day!" Gao Shilian said solemnly.

Suddenly, the generals looked solemn.

"Your Majesty has an order, this battle can eliminate Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, all rely on the merits of all the soldiers, and when you return to Chang'an City, everyone will be rewarded for their merits." Gao Shilian said solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A smile couldn't help but appear on the faces of the generals.

Li Jing waved his hand, and immediately a personal soldier ran out of the Taishou Mansion quickly, and immediately there were bursts of cheers in the military camp of the whole city.

"Second, Ben Qin sent here, and there is another matter, which is to investigate the case of the general in the army suing Li Jing for rebellion!" As soon as Gao Shilian's words fell, everyone was in an uproar. Many people immediately focused their attention on Li Jing and Li Daoyan, who was waiting for punishment on the side.

Li Jing sighed in his heart, and suddenly became disheartened in his heart, after every big battle, there were always twists and turns about him wanting to rebel, this time he was already extremely careful and acted in full accordance with the military order, but he didn't expect it to be the case this time.

However, Li Daoyan looked innocent, it stands to reason that Li Jing's punishment of Li Daoyan is extremely serious, and he is probably the one who is most likely to sue Li Jing. But although he resented Li Jing for punishing him so heavily, for the sake of Li Jing sending troops to seek justice for his 3,000 soldiers, he also admitted it, and he really didn't think about suing Li Jing for rebellion.

"Where is Gao Yongsheng?" Gao Shilian said loudly.

"Gao Yongsheng?" The generals couldn't help but be stunned, it stands to reason that Li Jing's punishment of him was not too much compared to Li Daoyan, and it was not difficult to keep his career with Gao Yongsheng's military exploits, and no one thought that Gao Yongsheng would take such an extreme road.

"The last general!" Gao Yongsheng gritted his teeth and said, in his opinion, what Li Jing did was already a crazy test of the bottom line of the imperial court, and since he had torn his face, there was nothing to worry about.

Even Li Jing glanced at Gao Yongsheng in surprise, and couldn't help but shake his head and close his eyes.

Gao Shilian suddenly shouted: "Lizhou Assassin Shi Gao Yongsheng disobeyed the military order and started border troubles, General Li punished him according to the military order, but he held a grudge and falsely accused General Li of rebellion, it is really lawless, Your Majesty has an order, Gao Yongsheng disobeyed the military order, falsely accused the meritorious heroes, and should be beheaded according to the law, read it for the sake of his many years of military exploits, save him from death, exile at the border pass, and be pardoned!" ”

"Ahh When Gao Yongsheng heard this, he was suddenly struck by lightning. He didn't expect it to be this ending.

"Impossible! Your Majesty can't do this to me! Gao Yongsheng said crazy, he is the old man of Li Shimin's Qin Palace, it can be said that he is Li Shimin's descendant, I originally thought that Li Jing had escaped, Li Shimin looked at the past feelings, he would be fine, but he didn't expect to end up like this.

Gao Shilian waved his hand, and suddenly two hundred cavalry soldiers stepped forward to control Gao Yongsheng and escorted him.

"General Lee was frightened." Gao Shilian arched towards Li Jing.

Li Jing shook his head and said: "The old man has been loyal to the country all his life, and he has a clear conscience, thank you Your Majesty for being discerning and clearing up the grievances for Li Jing." ”

The generals also stepped forward one after another and said: "General Li's character, we have seen it with our own eyes, so naturally we don't believe in the general's rebellion. ”

Even Li Daoyan blushed his neck and said: "Although General Li punished me, if I want to believe that General Li wants to rebel, then I don't believe it." ”

After Li Daoyan finished speaking, Gao Shilian's eyes instantly fell on Li Daoyan's body, Li Daoyan's heart trembled, Gao Zhisheng's sin was very great, and the mistakes he made were also not small.

Sure enough, Gao Shilian also said coldly: "Li Daoyan disobeyed the military order and privately provoked border troubles, causing the innocent lives of 3,000 soldiers to be killed, and exiled to the border land according to the law." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Li Daoyan said with five flavors in his heart.

This punishment is also extremely serious for him, but it is much better than Gao Yongsheng, at least there is no charge of killing the head, and there is no pardon or forgiveness, and there is no chance of reactivation in the future.

Seeing Li Daoyan being escorted down by two hundred horsemen, the generals couldn't help but look at Li Jing in a complicated way, this time Li Shimin's support for Li Jing was not insignificant, and all the generals who violated the military order were punished, especially Gao Yongsheng was a former minister of the Qin Palace, and Li Daoyan was a child of the clan, and they were all ruthless.

"Your Majesty is loving, and the old minister is embarrassed, and there is no way to repay it." Li Jing bowed towards Chang'an City and saluted.

Gao Shi said honestly: "Right and wrong, Your Majesty is naturally in the emperor's heart, we only need to be loyal to our duties." ”

"Actually, the official came here today, and there is a more important matter." Gao Shilian's face turned, and he stared firmly at Merton at the back.

"Me!" Merton walked out blankly.

"Not bad! I'm afraid you don't know that now the land of Shandong is flooded, flooding seven counties and displacing millions of people, but the imperial court is empty in order to conquer the west, and the one who can solve the urgent needs of the imperial court may not belong to the ink sacrifice wine. Gao Shilian said solemnly.

"Shandong Dashui!"

"Millions of people have been displaced!"

"Sell hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep?"

………………

After the generals understood the depth of the flood damage, they couldn't help but be in an uproar, and they all turned their eyes to Merton. In the eyes of everyone, Mo Jiazi has two major skills that everyone envies, one is a loser, and the other is making money.

The Mo family is ruined, but it is said that everyone can make money by dripping blood, but it is like a hand.

"The kid is young and used to messing around, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this heavy responsibility." Merton hurriedly waved his hand. That's hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, he has learned the relationship between supply and demand, once these cattle and sheep enter Datang, they will immediately destroy the price of Datang meat, thus causing a series of chain reactions, no less than an economic crisis.

Morton used to be just a Mojia village that fed 5,000 people, but now that he has to take on the livelihood of a million people, even he can't help but retreat in his heart.

Gao Shilian looked at Merton, he had expected that Merton would have this reaction, and said lightly at the moment: "Your Majesty said that as long as you solve this matter, the matter of the six thousand war horses will be written off." ”

"Ahh

Merton was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that in order to pursue Fu Yun, he desperately planned to lose 6,000 war horses so quickly to be known by Li Shimin.

Cheng Yanjin on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, and sure enough, the black pot of the loser was tightly carried by the kid Moton, and the other generals also showed playful smiles, looking like they were watching a good show.

"What six thousand war horses!" Su Dingfang was puzzled, his status was low, and he didn't know about it at all.

When he learned from the other generals that Merton did not hesitate to lose six thousand war horses, he couldn't help but gasp, and opened his eyes wide to look at Mo Jiazi again, as a soldier, the most precious thing is nothing more than war horses, and the value of six thousand war horses is an astronomical amount, and Merton did not hesitate to give it to the loser.

Merton smiled awkwardly, hurriedly raised his head, changed his words, and said with an impassioned look: "Although the kid is young, he is valued by His Majesty, and even if there are thousands of difficulties, he must share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Gao Shilian suddenly nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the imperial court will not embarrass you, don't hesitate to mention any requirements." ”

"The kid wants power!" Merton's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Gao Shilian nodded without hesitation and said, "The old man personally sits in the right place of Longyou, leaving 100,000 troops to continue to be stationed in Lanzhou, as long as it does not provoke a civil uprising, the old man will definitely support it with full authority."

The generals couldn't help but be shocked, with the support of Gao Shilian and the support of 100,000 troops, in a very short time, Merton became the most powerful man in the northwest.

"In this way, it is not impossible to succeed!" Merton's eyes sparkled, and his heart was eager to try.

Young and crazy, who doesn't want to be in charge of the world.
