After a few hours, the wind and sand gradually stopped, and after careful counting, none of the cavalry of the Dangxiang clan had lost. Although these people are disgraced, they are all still suitable for the scene of nature.

It's just that the situation of the Lingzhou infantry army is difficult to make people feel optimistic. According to statistics, dozens of officers and soldiers were swept away by the sand, missing, or buried alive.

Before the war began, under the magic of nature, so many people were lost, and this was the first time since Li Zhongyi unified the army.

During the march, it was impossible to hold a memorial ceremony that was too solemn, so Li Zhongyi personally went out and carried the body of a martyred soldier into the fire.

"All of them, salute the robes!" The officers and men of the three armies lined up, in the sound of Zuo Ziguang's command, beat their chests one after another to greet their warriors.

Zhi Congruan stood not far away, watching Li Zhongyi's every move, and when he was now Li Zhongyi personally carrying the body of the soldier, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, Xiao'er surnamed Li is so good at inviting military hearts, and he will have it in the future?

Others may not know very well that Zhe Congruan is a generation of famous generals who have led veteran soldiers and become accustomed to being the emperor of the soil, how can he not know what role Li Zhongyi's move will play in promoting the hearts of the army?

The missing soldiers really couldn't find their bones, so Li Zhongyi had no choice but to reluctantly order, "General, be sure to record the list of the soldiers who died in detail and go back to give you a pension." ”

Zuo Ziguang replied loudly: "The last general must follow your orders, and will not treat every soldier who died in the line of duty." ”

The treatment of the Lingzhou army has always been favorable, even in peacetime because of accidents during training. The soldier who led the death, Li Zhongyi has also always referred to Mao Taizu's policy, not only rewarding his family with money and land. He also rewarded the title of martyr.

In the Lingzhou Army, the treatment of martyrs' families is unusually high, not only is the tax completely exempt, but the most fundamental one is that the state government pays to support their old father and young son.

When Zhi Congruan heard such generous pension conditions, he thought to himself that all his worries had been taken into account. How could the soldiers serve Li Zhongyi without their lives?

Seeing Li Zhongyi from the ashes of the fire, he personally picked up the bones of a soldier and put it into his backpack. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, it turned out to be like this, it was actually like this, Li Zhongyi. Li Zhongyi. What exactly do you want to do?

After the three armies shed tears and waved goodbye to their robes, the entire army continued on the road, following the direction of the guide, and firmly stepped into the depths of the great desert.

From Ruan's careful sense, the eyes of the surrounding tooth soldiers looking at Li Zhongyi were full of admiration.

Those who win the hearts of the army win the world, this sentence suddenly came to Ruan's mind, but it can no longer linger!

When camping for the night. Zhe Congruan never fell asleep, he lay on a thick sheepskin mattress. Waterlogged cakes all the time.

Turning it over, turning it upside down, he broke his head from Ruan Xiang, and searched all over the historical books, but he never found any famous marshals or emperors who were roughly similar to Li Zhongyi's style.

A great change not seen in 2,000 years!

Zhe Congruan subconsciously made a summary, Li Zhongyi's actions can be said to be unprecedented, and he is not very clear whether there is anyone coming later.

"Fifth brother, what kind of person is this Li?" The sound of Ruan's churning had already alarmed Fifth Brother Ma, who was in a very light sleep, and he simply looked at what kind of attitude Fifth Brother Ma had?

Fifth Brother Ma frowned, thought for a while, and then whispered: "Old lady, in the shallow view of a villain, I think this Li Dashuai is very much like a person. ”

When Zhi Congruan heard this, he immediately perked up, and hurriedly asked Fifth Brother Ma: "Who is it like?" ”

"Taizu of this dynasty, Guo Qi'er!" Fifth Brother Ma carefully observed the movements around him, and then he came to Ruan's ear and said what was in his heart.

"Ah......" Fold Congruan was shocked, he never dreamed that in the mind of Fifth Brother Ma, the young Li Zhongyi could be compared with Zhou Taizu Guo Wei.

"How so?" Zhi Congruan knew in his heart that outside the big tent where he lived, he had been protected by his own henchmen and generals, and it was impossible for private words to reach the ears of outsiders.

Fifth Brother Ma sighed and said, "Old lady, villains have been following you for decades, and I have seen many heroes and heroes. It's just that the villain thought about it and always felt that there was no one who was the commander of the army who was more popular than this Marshal Li. ”

It turned out to be like this, and it was like a thunderbolt exploded in Ruan's mind, and even Fifth Brother Ma could see that he, the lord, had ignored this one?

Emperor, the strong soldier and the strong man do it!

Those who win the hearts of the army will surely win the world!

Although Zhe Congruan didn't know what it meant to be in power from the barrel of a gun, he deeply understood that if there was no strong army under his command, and the prefecture between Tuoba, Jinyang and the Khitans was alone, the city would have been ruined a long time ago!

"Hehe, fifth brother, let's take a look slowly. The old man wants to see with his own eyes, how does the little child surnamed Li break through the lair of the old thief Tuoba Yiyin? Zhe Congruan narrowed his eyes and looked at Fifth Brother Ma with a smile.

Fifth Brother Ma raised his hand to cover the wolf skin from Ruan, and whispered: "Old lady, in the villain's shallow opinion, Li Dashuai's plot against Xiazhou must not be a matter of one or two days. ”

Zhi Congruan nodded and said, "The way of Go, fall into one piece, at least look at three moves." ”

Although Fifth Brother Ma used to study little, since he became the chief butler of the Zhe family, all the foreign affairs that were inconvenient for Ruan to come forward were handled by this most confidant general.

Zhe Congruan knows in his heart, when it comes to knowledge, Fifth Brother Ma has already been a teacher, and his vision is quite credible.

When the sky was dark, the Lingzhou army had already nibbled on the pancakes, had a full meal, and continued on the road to Xiazhou.

Zhi Congruan noticed that every time the Lingzhou army went to a water source, there were people guarding there in advance, and the matter of replenishing water was arranged very properly.

The great desert is different from the grassland, and even more different from the land south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains, where the water network is dense, and the firewood for cooking and drinking water are the top priorities.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the army's replenishment of water, Zhecongruan had another astonishing appearance: the officers and soldiers of the Lingzhou Army, regardless of officers and soldiers, did not drink raw water.

All the water taken from the water source had to be set up in a cauldron and boiled vigorously before the officers and men were allowed to drink it or replenish it to their water bladders.

Zhe Congruan did not come forward to ask, and Ma Wuge took the initiative to undertake this task, and when he was not paying attention, he asked the fireman who was in charge of boiling water.

The fireman replied casually: "Lang Zhong in the army said that drinking raw water will not only cause stomach pain, but also be likely to be infected with the epidemic, which will kill many people." (To be continued......)
