Liangzhou, Xihai County, Juyan, the Fifth Army Corps commander's tent station. The vast grassland, there is no edge in sight. On the grassland, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion galloped back and forth on war horses, and every time the longbow in their hands was shot, they could hit the target in front of them.

Some soldiers rode their horses and galloped, chasing and intercepting a small group of wolves. The wolves tried their best, but they still couldn't escape the knights. The leading wolf king howled a few times, stopped, and stopped running. And the soldiers of the Qin army who surrounded them also stopped and did not chase anymore.

In this scene, it is obvious that this group of wolves has been tamed by the soldiers of the Fifth Legion. Now this group of wolves has become a sparring partner for soldiers to practice equestrianism.

At this time, there was a sound of horns in the direction of the tent. The wolf king raised his head, looked at the direction of the handsome tent, and screamed a few times, which seemed to say: Big brother, don't practice, listen, the horn sounded, we should go back.

"Keep practicing, that's the horn sound of the generals, it's for General Li to go, it's none of our business." The leading staff officer rode up to the wolf king and threw down a piece of meat, "Hurry up, don't be lazy!" ”

The wolf king took the meat in his mouth, and it was solved in three or two clicks. Satisfied, he licked his tongue, screamed a few times, and shook his tail up and down a few times. In that way, he lives like a dog, not like a tame wolf king at all.

The rest of the soldiers did the same, and threw down the meat in front of the wolves, and the wolves cried out with satisfaction when they ate the meat.

"Spread out and keep practicing!" With the roar of the staff officer, the soldiers and wolves continued to train.

Li Mu, the general of the first division of the left army who guarded the tent of the Chinese army, strode into the tent and said to Li Ji: "General, the general is coming, what is the matter?" ”

Li Ji took out the flying pigeon summons he had just received and handed it to Li Mu: "Congratulations to General Li, I just received the flying pigeon message from the Ministry of War, from now on, you will be the marquis of the empire." ”

"Master Hou?" Li Mu took the flying pigeon book and read it carefully. The letter wrote some things about the Fifth Legion, including the promotion of generals and staff officers at all levels, the transfer of generals, the rewards given by the empire to the Fifth Legion, and the next arrangements for the Fifth Legion.

"The Ministry of War only informed in advance, and the specific ambassadors sent by the ministries read out His Majesty's edict and issued the rewards of the Empire." Guo Jia carried the wine gourd, bare his chest, and walked in front of Li Mu, "The Ministry of War ordered that after receiving the condolences from the ambassadors, my Fifth Army Corps will immediately transfer to Yongzhou and defend Chang'an." The original defensive area was taken over by the Sixth Army Corps and the government soldiers under the command of the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

The general has already obtained the detailed rules for the deployment of the military department, and if you come over, you will be asked to prepare more tents, and my Fifth Army will be assembled. After receiving the reward, after the newly appointed generals arrived at Captain Qi and the staff officers, our army will return to Chang'an. ”

"No!" Li Mu arched his hand and congratulated: "The last general is here to congratulate the general and the chief of staff, but the last general still has something unclear, my Fifth Army and Sixth Army did not participate in the Northern Expedition, or regain lost territory, why does Your Majesty treat us equally and give us additional officials and knights!" ”

"The previous military exploits, the merits of the dragon, and the merits of defending the land, these are all reasons. Specifically, General Li should not be too entangled. A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty. Li Ji said.

"Yes! Then the general will go down and prepare! ”

"Go ahead!" Guo Jia waved his hand, signaling that he could step back.

"What a handsome talent!" Li Ji looked at Li Mu's distant back and sighed. Then, he picked up another order from the military department from the table, and said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Brother Fengxiao, transfer Chang'an, cavalry corps, Your Majesty's plan is not small!" Is he showing favor to Murong Ke, or is he testing his bottom line! ”

"It's a bit of both! If Murong Ke's brain was hot and he sent troops to attack, my Great Qin would also have an excuse to start a war against Xianbei Hu and destroy him in one fell swoop. In this way, there is no need to bear the charge of sabotaging the alliance, and at the same time, you can get rid of a big trouble, so why not. ”

"I see! It just so happens that when I return to Chang'an this time, I can also show Your Majesty the results of the training of my Fifth Army during this time. It's just that my Fifth Legion won't be able to make it to the sacrificial ceremony in six days. Li Ji touched the short beard on his lower forehead and shook his head, quite regretful.

"It doesn't matter! Twelve legions, one can catch up, and not one of us is missing. Guo Jia smiled, looking unconcerned. However, the sense of loss in his eyes betrayed him. In his heart, he also felt quite lost.

Two days later, the capital of Jizhou, Yecheng. Guan Zhong was busy sitting in the state capital, giving instructions on various official documents. In the state capital, people come and go, and they have never been cut off. Not far away, in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Jizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is the same, all kinds of people are coming and going, Jizhou Metropolitan Governor Deng Ai sits in the position of the Metropolitan Governor, his butt has never moved a point, and the pen in his hand has not stopped for a moment.

Jizhou, since the two of them took over, although not to mention the military and political affairs of Jizhou, but at least it is much better than the messy appearance when it was just recovered. People from all over the country returned home one after another, and the Orichong Prefecture and the Governor's Mansion began to be gradually established, and everything was moving on the right track.

At the gate of Yecheng, Sun Wu led the horse with a few personal guards, observing the situation in Yecheng as he walked. On both sides of the road, the sound of vendors is endless. The pedestrian's face also had a serene expression.

Between the soldiers and the people who patrolled the city, there was no offense in the autumn, and it has to be said that Yecheng has undergone earth-shaking changes under the governance of the assassin and the governor appointed by His Majesty.

"General, General! We've arrived at the Assassin's House! Sun Wu, who was fascinated by the gods, didn't realize that they had already arrived at the Mansion, but he still had to be reminded by the guards, and he found out that they had arrived at the Jizhou Assassin's Mansion.

"Okay, you guys wait outside, I'll go inside!" Sun Wu handed over the horses to a few of his personal guards, and with his farewell gifts, he squeezed into the crowd after showing his official credentials to the guards at the door. When he walked to the lobby and was about to see Guan Zhong, he stopped.

He saw that Guan Zhong was very busy, and while instructing the person who submitted the official document, he kept giving instructions on the official document, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva. He went to talk to him and say goodbye to him, but it was a problem for him. Such an unwise move, he, Sun Wu, naturally would not do it.

Sun Wu quietly retreated, handed the farewell gift to the guard at the door, and ordered, "When your family assassin Shi is free, give these to him." Now, for the time being, I will leave it with you, and do not disturb him in handling government affairs. Ben is leaving! ”

"No!" The guards at the gate gave a military salute and watched Sun Wu go away.

When he walked to the gate of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Sun Wu also did not go in, but just handed over the gift to the guards, and then led his guards to gallop towards the first army commander in addition to the city.

Before coming to Yecheng, he had already said goodbye to Chen Qingzhi, the commander of the Third Legion, and Xiao Yi, the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard. Now, the Jizhou Assassin Guan Zhong Office and the Jizhou Metropolitan Governor Deng Ai have all said goodbye. Except for Bai Wuye, the commander of the Seventh Legion who was still on the way, he didn't say goodbye, and the other people who should say goodbye had already said goodbye.

Next, he only needs to complete the handover of Jizhou's defense, wait for the arrival of the ambassador to comfort, and say goodbye to Bai Wuye, then he can lead the army back to Chang'an.

It's just that there is still a regret in his heart, and this regret of his is the same as that of Li Ji Guojia, and the same regret in the hearts of all the generals who fought on the border and went out on the battlefield in Daqin, that he could not participate in the sacrifice ceremony of the fallen soldiers and send those soldiers who fought with them on the last journey.
