After Emperor Wen learned of the good news of this great victory, he was greatly delighted and ordered to reward and promote the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to the front line.
Luo Zhaoyun was successfully promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel because of his military exploits and the special support of the former army commander, and at the same time he also got the transfer order of the military department, and changed from the government soldiers to the East Palace Right Guard Mansion, and became the inner government soldiers, and the official position was the military cavalry permanent attendant, as for what this official did, he didn't know.
At the same time, he was not the only one who received the order from the East Palace, but also some brave warriors, who were selected by Zhou Luohu to be transferred back to the Beijing Division to supplement the East Palace guards and maintain the combat effectiveness of the East Palace soldiers.
According to the military system of the Great Sui Prefecture, the government soldiers themselves are divided into inner and outer governments, which are called the outer army and the inner army, and the outer army is the military government of the place where it is stationed, while the inner army is in the land of Gyeonggi and belongs to a small part of the forbidden army.
The soldiers of the inner palace are mostly the descendants of powerful officials, such as the second-rank and third-rank officials who serve as the emperor's personal guards in the palace, and the great-grandsons of the second-rank officials, the grandsons of the third-rank officials, and the fourth-rank officials can serve as the personal guards of the East Palace, so they can become the personal guards of the emperor and the prince, and they are all the children of high-ranking officials. Of course, most of them are concubines, and their sons-in-law want to attack the lord, and they also go to the country to study, or take care of the family's affairs for their fathers, and often do not go to be personal guards.
This habit has been followed for a long time, firstly, the emperor can be gracious to the descendants of high-ranking officials, promote some personal guards from time to time, and send them out to do things, which is easy to be promoted, secondly, to cultivate the loyalty and sense of belonging of these high-ranking officials' children to the imperial family, and thirdly, it is also a proton method to restrain ministers, in short, the reasons are very complicated.
However, in addition to the inner army, the forbidden army also needs a large number of foreign soldiers to be transferred to the Beijing division to assist in defense, which is the real combat effectiveness of the Beijing division forbidden army.
Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu were also recommended by Luo Zhaoyun to go to the East Palace Youwei Mansion together.
The 200,000-strong army stayed in the Yumen Pass for another month, deterring the Western Regions and Saibei, so that the steppe tribes broke away from the jurisdiction of the Western Turks one after another, and attached themselves to the Great Sui as vassals, and respected Emperor Wen of Sui as the Holy Khan.
The Turkic turmoil, many royal families in the Western Turks were strongly dissatisfied, and the Bujia Khan rebelled against his relatives, so he had no choice but to take some cronies and guards and retreat to Tuyuhun.
This frontier battle in the third year of Renshou ended with the victory of the Great Sui and the defeat of the Western Turks.
………
In the Yumen Pass, in the camp of the Sui army, there are piles of hunting bonfires everywhere, and the materials for rewarding the front-line soldiers transferred by the imperial court from the rear have been delivered, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and a lot of wine jars, so that the front-line army, before the triumphant division and the withdrawal, can enjoy a victory carnival.
In the entire barracks, each camp area gathered together, divided into teams of fifty people, all shouting lively, eating meat, drinking in big bowls, turning into fists and guessing fists, and letting go very openly.
Many soldiers were very excited when they were glad that they had survived, and that they had been rewarded with money and exempted from all kinds of taxes and forced labor for three years.
Some are accustomed to seeing the cruelty of the battlefield, venting their inner anguish and fear at this time, and getting drunk to anesthetize themselves.
Konghou, Qiang flute, guzheng, and drum are mixed, and there are Central Plains musical instruments, as well as Hu music outside the plug, which are intertwined to form a unique side plug tune.
Some of the soldiers drank and danced around the bonfire.
Luo Zhaoyun also threw himself into this kind of carnival in the border camp, feeling the lively atmosphere of the whole army celebrating after the catastrophe.
In addition, tomorrow's front-line army will return to the DPRK, and some government soldiers will have to return to the local military offices according to their original places of origin to report, and of course, there are also some people who are willing to stay in the frontier and garrison, so they can submit an application, and the army commanders will approve and decide to stay.
Many of the comrades-in-arms in the robe were about to be separated, and it was a little difficult to give up for a while, so everyone toasted each other and drank a little parting.
"Ergouzi, this glass of wine, I salute you, walk well on Huangquan Road!" Some soldiers suddenly screamed halfway through their drinks, and their eyes were full of tears, because their fellow countrymen, who had been playmates since childhood, joined the army together, but a few days ago, they died on the battlefield.
"Liang Dong, let's go!"
"Zhao Qilu, we will still be brothers in the next life!"
Many people shouted, tears filled up, and the men did not flick their tears when they had tears, just because they did not reach the sad place, they did not cry cowardly, but missed their comrades.
Some people are comforting, but they can't help crying, the army is about to disperse, the dead are buried in the border plug, many warriors who died in battle, at home they are the pillars, husbands, filial sons, but now they have become a pile of bones.
After the war, life and death are inevitable, and this kind of taste is indeed embarrassing.
Luo Zhaoyun stood up, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, walked out of the bonfire field, came to the edge of a quiet camp, looked at the bright moon, and was touched by the robes of those ancient men.
Of course, he will set off tomorrow and follow General Zhou to Chang'an City (Sui Daxing City), how will the future develop, and whether his own crossing will affect the development of history, which makes him full of expectations and excitement, of course, there is also a trace of confusion about the future.
Emperor Wen of Sui, Guang Yang, Yuan Li, Gong Gao, Wei Su...... As well as many gate valve bigwigs, they are going to see their true faces!
"Captain Luo, you're here!"
Luo Zhaoyun turned around and saw Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu coming over, as if they were looking for him.
"Brother Guo, Brother Ji!" Luo Zhaoyun did not put on a captain's stand, but greeted the two in an approachable manner.
Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu walked side by side, their faces were a little ruddy, obviously they didn't drink less, especially Ji Pingwu's footsteps were a little fluttering, and his face was full of excitement.
When the two heard Luo Zhaoyun's title, they were a little moved, because he was a captain, and the two had just been promoted to the head of the team and the deputy leader, and there was a lot of difference in the official positions in the army.
"Captain Luo, in the future, we will continue to follow you and go to Chang'an, and advance and retreat with you!" Guo Xiaoke expressed his position here, which means that he will definitely stand on his side in the future and firmly support him.
After all, people like Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu are not disciples of wealthy families, so they went to the capital, they are not familiar with the place, and if they want to improve again, they have no background, which is very difficult, but they learned that 'Luo Cheng' is the general, so they all follow him with an iron heart.
Luo Zhaoyun also admires the personalities and skills of these two people, they can make friends in advance, and they will have a good understanding in the future, and said with a slight smile: "We are brothers who have been born and died, do not abandon, do not give up, as long as I am here, we will not let the two brothers suffer losses and be aggrieved!" ”
"That's it! Captain Luo, Ji is poor and white, only has a shallow martial arts, and he will follow you in the future, whether it is the frontier or Chang'an City, he can get ahead! Ji Pingwu said with the strength of the wine.
Luo Zhaoyun knew the traces of the two of them, nodded with a smile, and said proudly: "Brothers work together, its profits are gold, Chang'an City, let's go together!" ”
