At noon, Li Guolou set up a banquet to entertain Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, Mu San and other people, An Jie was too seriously injured, and the doctor Wang Fuzhen personally treated him and stayed in a carriage to recuperate

Li Guolou did not expose An Jie's helplessness anyway, but enthusiastically held An Jie's hand and said with a smile on his face: "An Jie has heard of your name for a long time, and I have long heard that you can understand the general situation and take care of the overall situation, I will go to the fold to ask the emperor for credit for you, don't think too much about the past, it is imposed on you by others, you can't do so many things alone, you need warriors to guard the borders of the motherland, Dong Fuxiang is your example, your battalion, I will definitely find a way to keep Yang Dawazi, An Jie, He Mingtang, Mu San will make more contributions to the motherland in the future, and when the war is over and settles down, let's get together again, hahaha"

Although An Jie's face was pale because of excessive blood loss, he looked sluggish, but after listening to Li Guolou's words, he still cheered up, his eyes were full of tears, and his face was full of emotion: "Thank you, Lord Li, I took us in regardless of my previous suspicions, I was born as a swordsman, and I never did Jianyin's abduction, that kind of lack of virtue, seeking wealth and not killing heroes, and the reputation of heroes has not been ruined, and others have done things that lack of virtue, count it on my head, I don't know how many times better than Dong Fuxiang's group of locusts, Lord Li, our fame depends on you."

"An Jie, don't mention Dong Fuxiang's name in the future, that is, Zuo Dashuai erected a flag, lack of virtue can be erased, peace of mind can be relieved of my injury, I will be generous in everything, don't rest assured, I will ask for merit for you Zuo Dashuai," Li Guolou appeased An Jie a few words, and then left, and let Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, Mu San and others follow him to be grateful, and these anti-righteous soldiers were rewarded the same as the soldiers of Li Ziying, and everyone had them according to their rank

457 anti-righteous soldiers were placed five miles away from the loess slope and stationed there, Fan Dahui took a silver box and gave five taels of silver to each of the soldiers anyway, warning them not to violate military discipline in the future, and if there were financial difficulties in the state, they could not pay military salaries, and they could not bomb the camp

These soldiers wept bitterly, Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, and Mu San also cried together, each of them wore a brand-new cotton coat, carried silver, and gave them wine and food to eat, feeling that it was heaven

However, Li Guolou didn't dare to go to Yang Dawazi's military camp, he was not so bold, he only let the deputy envoys of the escort, Hongdu and Fan Dahui, do it for him, and now he only needs to let the soldiers stabilize their mood anyway, and they have to eat, wear, and have money, so that the morale of this army can be stabilized, and the enemy's military heart will be disintegrated, which is to spend money to buy people's hearts

Fan Dahui came to Yang Dawazi's military camp, he was not afraid to talk and laugh at all, looked at those soldiers' equipment, and said: "Yang Da, your equipment is too old, and I can't help much, I can't help much, some weapons and ammunition are collected on the battlefield today, you go and see which ones you need, take them, as for the war horse equipment, you can also give you twenty horses, and other matters will be coordinated by Deputy Marshal Xu in the future, and our Li Ziying will not help much, but there is one thing you can rest assured, Master Li will be on the fold to ensure that no one will come to settle accounts with you after the autumn, who will not be painful for you, you can find me in the future."

"Thank you, Master, I will never forget your kindness," Yang Dawazi stood there stunned, his eyes were full of tears, as the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, he hasn't cried for many years, but today he returned to the motherland, and his mother's excitement made him unable to hold back his tears, he cried non-stop since he saw Li Guolou, he was too excited, he was originally a man in two lives, he sent a generous gift to Li Guolou, but he didn't expect Li Guolou to send money and clothes to his army, and to give his army weapons and ammunition

"Hey, don't thank me, Yang Da, don't thank me, you are a smart person, let Lord Li make a great contribution, Lord Li, this is a thank you, Liu Mingchuan is his own person, say anything, I want to help you, I wish you another meritorious service, for Lord Liu and Lord Li, I am optimistic about you, hehehe" Fan Dahui smiled so much that his eyes couldn't see more than 2,000 ears, plus the head of the Hui army, Ha Lianhu, also let more than 400 Hui troops, anyway, Li Ziying has made great achievements, and he has less than 1,000 troops, and he can't find Li Guolou in the Chu army to be knighted when he returns to Beijing

The deputy envoy of the escort Hongdu took five personal soldiers to escort Yang Dawazi to stay in the military camp to do coordination work, and after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to ask for bribes, forget it, Mrs. Pingping returned to Beijing, and it was not bad to be bad, Li Guolou's reputation was dusty along the way, but he also ate, played, and lived, and experienced wars, and it was not worth it, this trip was rich and rich, but it was a scourge, so that people with ill intentions coveted it, and the people around Yang Dawazi were all robbers, and they only needed to act impartially

"No, no, no, Yang Da, I don't want silver, I can help Li Ziying, the military rules are strict, you said that I can touch Lord Li's tiger beard, you will always give a filial piety when you see Vice Marshal Xu in the future, or keep it, although I don't know what kind of person Vice Marshal Xu is, but the Sichuan rats are all smuggling, you just know in your heart," Hongdu weighed the weight, and knew that the property in the package was worth a lot, but he still gritted his teeth and shirked it

"Thank you, Lord Hong, for speaking bluntly," Yang Dawa calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief, this ticket is worth the future, you don't have to worry about being caught by the officers and soldiers, and Ling Chi will be executed, and you can finally sleep peacefully tonight

Fan Dahui returned to the camp and reported to Li Guolou that there was nothing unusual about the situation in Yang Dawazi's army, they were all outlaws, and they only recognized the eldest brother and did not recognize reason

Li Guolou sighed after hearing this: " Hey, this kind of soldier looks fierce and unusual, and dares to fight, in fact, this kind of person is the cancer of the army, you will lead tens of millions of soldiers in the future, and you can't form gangs and factions in the team, if you join a reactionary organization and kill all of them, you don't leave a patriotic community or a person, you have two mouths, today you say patriotism, tomorrow you will talk about expelling the Tartars, restoring China, just like the Qing Gang, it has already become a tumor attached to the Qing Dynasty, and you can't cut it, who wants to move the Qing Gang, they will bring out the ancestral family law, Wang Balamb, a hundred years ago, the emperor was still in charge, and today's affairs are really a great shame and shame."

Regarding Li Guolou's reactionary remarks, no one minded the difference in status, so he dared to say that Fan Dahui was a little strange and asked: "Why is Lord Li still digging fortifications outside, didn't the enemy retreat?"

Li Guolou said: "The enemy situation here is unknown, the terrain is not familiar, it is better to be careful, in case Cui Wei and Halenjin's army come, we can still fight, as for Yang Dawazi's army is not allowed to approach our military camp, it is also for security reasons, everyone is not familiar with each other, he is afraid that I will eat him, and I am also afraid that he will fake surrender, and Yang Dawazi can also understand."

Li Guolou stood up from the saddle and said with a smile: "But this probability is very small, Vice Marshal Xu will always send troops to us, we will hold a military summary meeting, inform his subordinates, let the officers and stewards on duty come to the meeting to talk about the lessons of this battle, what needs to be improved, what experience is worth carrying forward, the clerk should make a good record, compile it into a book, and it is not advisable to teach it orally, everything must be reflected in words, this is what Wutang advocates."

"Yes," everyone dispersed and summoned their subordinates, and in the afternoon, a military summary meeting was in full swing and held on the loess hill

When the Li Zi battalion was in a meeting, Tan Ma came to report that a Qing army had come to meet them, it was the Chu army garrison, Gao Liansheng led two battalions of cavalry more than 20 miles away from here, originally came to the aid in the starry night, and heard that the Li Zi camp was safe and sound, and the garrison was safe, and Gao Liansheng sent a military order to let the Li Zi battalion move closer to him

Cheng Kun said angrily: "Wang Ba Lamb's shelf is very big, and let us move closer to him, how long does it take for us to carry so many things into the carriage, don't sleep at night?"

Li Guolou estimated the time, Li Ziying dismantled the cannon, set up the carriage, and more than 3,000 people set off, and then drove more than 20 miles, about nine o'clock in the evening before they could join the Chu army, and began to agree, and agreed with Cheng Kun's proposal to camp in place and leave tomorrow

But thinking about it again, the military order was like a mountain, and the Chu army rushed more than 400 miles to rescue the Li Ziying in the starry night, and now that he heard that the Li Ziying had won a big victory, he should rest, and he, as the commander of the Li Zi Battalion, should have the courage to accept more tests

Thinking about this relationship, Li Guolou stood up from the saddle and shouted majestically: "Don't say strange things, if there is an order from the high garrison, we must not hesitate to obey the order, go down, the whole army will pull out, bring your own dry food, eat while walking, you are not allowed to rest, blow the trumpet, and the whole army will assemble."

"Yes," the originally loose officers immediately stood up with their chests and belly bulging, and marched just to fight a war, an army can only win a battle if it learns to march, and all the generals of Li Ziying's battalion did not hesitate to accept the test

"Order Yang Da Wazi as the rear army to protect the Chu army garrison twenty miles away from our army's departure destination" Li Guolou gave Yang Da Wazi trust, and the Halian Tiger head had already been identified by the captives, and he believed that Yang Da Wazi was not Jing Ke

At the end of the road, the Hui army has long been disorganized, and the Hui people Dong Fuxiang led 100,000 hungry people to surrender, and the Han people are good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, of course, the fifth plan in the thirty-six plans "Take advantage of the fire to rob"

On the loess hill, a group of people shouted and neighed, everyone returned to the original post of the convoy, the military order was like a mountain, although many people were dissatisfied in their hearts, but no one dared to show it, and scolded a few more ghost weather, which was regarded as referring to Sang and scolding Huai

The chief also heard the meaning and said angrily: "Don't speak, no one, when you are dumb, Lord Li can hear it, be careful of being whipped."

"Yes," the person who said the strange thing immediately shut up, and many people were whipped by Li Guolou and knew how to be punished for violating military orders

When the sun set, the sound of the marching horn resounded over the Loess Hills, where the Li Zi Battalion had fought, they did not stay overnight, and the rangers remained vigilant, scattered into the wilderness, and slowly disappeared on the horizon

After going through the grind, Hu Yinshan led a team to launch another round of reconnaissance, Li Yunzhuo, Xu Zhong, Ma Da Crotch, and Fang Zhiyong have also returned to the team, and the two Greyhounds are alert and sniff the smell on the ground

On the winding and long yellow sand road, Li Zi's military flag could not be seen at a glance, and after following the convoy, hundreds of cavalry of Yang Dawazi were also vigilant, releasing a wave of rangers, and they were afraid that the return army would follow, Yang Dawazi knew that the cavalry and the cavalry could not fight at night, but the cavalry could attack the convoy, so the convoy was vulnerable to attack at night, and I didn't know what Li Guolou thought about marching at night

If he was the commander of the Hui army, he would definitely attack Li Zi's camp at night, and Yang Dawazi couldn't help but laugh out loud

"Yang Da, what do you want," He Mingtang asked casually

"Oh, I think crooked, that Ha Lianhu just thinks so, so he becomes a dead man's head, Li Ziying is not good to provoke them, the vehicles can form a battle formation, and if the horse team can't rush in, they will be targeted by their Mauser guns, and how much military pay Li Ziying has, don't think about it."

"Hey, Yang Da, you are so evil, you still haven't changed it," He Mingtang touched his beard and smiled cruelly, the dog couldn't change his, and he just wanted to rob and loot anyway, and he also used his bad brain to get on the Li Ziying convoy

"I can't go wrong if I think about it, I want to come up with a trick to live a good life, and now I still want Dong Zhiyuan, my mother, brothers, do you want to think about it," Yang Dawa loudly encouraged morale

"Think" the anti-righteous people responded in unison, if you want to live a good life in the future, you have to fight with your life, how can you unload your armor and return to the field, relying on Dong Zhiyuan's geographical familiarity, and strive to be the advance team of the Qing Dynasty, they are horse teams, and Dong Zhiyuan's area is not in the countryside, and the vast fields are where they can display their skills

Li Guolou lay in Wanniang's arms, sleeping comfortably, closed his eyes, the carriage was bumping forward, he was already asleep, Wanniang was still holding him, humming a lullaby softly in her mouth, bumpy all the way, and the drift was finally going to pass, but she knew that the man in her arms would not go home immediately, and he wanted to make many meritorious achievements, and she could still hold Li Guolou in the future, Wanniang showed a happy smile on her face, showing maternal tenderness
