"It's really Shanhou! How did you end up here, and still be like this? We'll not even recognize you! ”

They were shocked, and the suspicion in Li Xingzhou's heart became even stronger......

Even the five of them don't know about me!

Among them, there must be a lot of cats!

When Zuo Yiwei's five colleagues saw Li Xingzhou, they were all surprised.

That's a real deal!

The military is different from officialdom.

If you have a background, family and backstage, plus you have read a few books, your brain is not particularly stupid, and it is not too difficult to mix a bowl of soup to drink in the officialdom.

But the army is the world of tough guys and pure masters, and it is difficult for a person who can't endure hardships, can't bend down, and has no real skills to gain a foothold in the army.

Even if he gets the appointment of the imperial court and becomes a general, his subordinates will not be convinced, and will be hollowed, isolated and ostracized.

The battlefield needed to be cleared, and the people and wounded needed to be settled, so orders were given to the army to be stationed here for two days.

Li Xingzhou finally had a full meal with peace of mind.

Then I took another shower, shaved my beard, cut my hair, and changed into a new military uniform.

......

Seeing Fang Peng and them worshipping Li Xingzhou like this, more and more remnants of the soldiers gathered around Li Xingzhou, begging bitterly.

Among these people, there were the first batch of people who fled with Li Xingzhou, some who were recruited from small villages, and some who were picked up halfway.

Among them, there may be mixed good and bad, but one thing Li Xingzhou can be sure of is that they are all from poor families.

The intentions of these people in front of them to join the army are very simple, they are nothing more than rushing for a bite to eat, or they have the dream of making meritorious contributions and being crowned a wife and son.

But all these things they want can only be achieved if they are carrying knives and playing with people.

If it is the son of an official eunuch or a wealthy family, who would be stupid enough to run into the army to be a pawn and suffer this kind of hardship, and take such a risk of playing with his life?

The main general was ineffective in the battle, and the two states of Shuodai fell, and it was a blessing that these people did not die at the hands of the enemy.

If you die under the sword of your own people, will you die without turning a blind eye?

More and more people gathered around Li Xingzhou, and the gradual ocean almost surrounded him.

Some people knelt down for him and begged for mercy, some people were angry and complaining, and more people looked at him helplessly and innocently.

Huan Yanfan is leading people to settle the people not far away.

Seeing this situation, he immediately rushed into the crowd with a team of soldiers to protect Li Xingzhou, and shouted.

"Do you want to make trouble?"

When the remnants of the soldiers saw Huan Yanfan, these "regular soldiers" with clear clothes and armor and majestic majesty, their hearts were a little weak.

So they all stopped talking, not daring to make noise.

Li Xingzhou invited Huan Yanfan to a secluded place and whispered.

"General Huan, don't blame them. It was I who made a promise in advance, and when I returned to the state, I would try my best to exonerate them, and those who were meritorious would ask for merit for them. ”

Huan Yanfan frowned.

"Hou Shan, this is not easy to do. You see there are seven or eight hundred people here, who has merit and who has had, can you distinguish clearly? ”

"Besides, the Grand Governor and the Marching Commander Shi both perform their own duties, even if the Black Tooth General himself is here, he can't take the place of the Governor's Mansion to give orders."

"If you want me to say, it is better to hand these people over to the Governor's Office to dispose of them. Everything has its own military law, so why should you make yourself uncomfortable? ”

"A man cannot stand without faith."

Li Xingzhou said.

"If it weren't for them, there's a good chance I'd be a corpse by now."

"And these people, they can't make it to Bingzhou alive. If I don't care whether they live or die, it is to cross the river and tear down the bridge, how will I still gain a foothold in the army in the future? ”

Huan Yan Fan Zhi frowned and shook his head.

"Shanhou, I know that your previous promise to them was an expedient measure in extraordinary times. I want to say, love and law...... It's hard to have both! ”

"It's not hard."

Li Xingzhou said.

"There are more than 1,000 people here, which ones are meritorious to protect the people, which ones are meritorious, and which ones are mixed in later, I don't know the details, I probably know in my heart."

Huan Yanfan was taken aback.

"Really?"

"Of course." plum

Xingzhou said.

"It's the big thing that has been on my mind the most lately, so I've been paying attention to it all the time. I couldn't recognize any of them, but they weren't bad. ”

Huan Yanfan thought for a while and said.

"Okay, you divide these remnants into several batches and report the list to me. Then I stepped forward and handed these people over in batches to the soldiers of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to join the army...... But you must not tell these remnants of their intentions, or they will make a fuss! ”

Li Xingzhou pondered for a moment with his eyebrows furrowed, and said.

"Can you guarantee that they will not be sentenced to death by military law?"

"No one can guarantee it."

Huan Yan Fan Zhengse said.

"The general is still under the orders of the king, and the emperor does not interfere with the military orders and laws."

"I'm not going to shield anyone with the law of love and chaos, if I can really guarantee fairness and strictness, I have no second word."

Li Xingzhou said.

Huan Yanfan lowered his voice.

It's better to do as I say. If Bing Cao, the state capital, is handled properly, of course, this matter can be closed, and the Marquis of Shanhou does not have to show his face. ”

"This is not Luoyang. If the handling is not appropriate, how about Shanhou find a way to negotiate with him? ”

Li Xingzhou thought for a moment, followed the normal procedure first, and then found a way if there was a problem......

Salute first and then soldier, you can't take the law of love chaos first, and fall into the hands of others!

"That's it."

Li Xingzhou said.

"General Huan, this matter can be big or small. If you handle it well, you will save your life, and everyone will be safe; If it is not handled well, maybe there will be a war on the Luoyang side. ”

"Therefore...... Please do your best to help me out! ”

Huan Yanfan's face changed when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly and said a word.

"Okay."

Although I couldn't fully understand what Li Xingzhou said about the "Luoyang War" for a while.

But Huan Yanfan knew that Li Xingzhou was definitely not bluffing him with nonsense.

After all, Li Xingzhou has a very close relationship with the power center of the imperial court!

Li Xingzhou pressed down such a heavy burden, Huan Yanfan didn't dare to slack off at this time.

He immediately summoned a whole brigade of Zuo Yiwei Modao soldiers to maintain order on the scene.

Assisted Li Xingzhou to resettle the more than 1,000 remnants of the soldiers in batches.

The first to be selected by Li Xingzhou was Fang Peng's group of people.

There were about 200 of them at that time, and most of them were wounded.

Along the way, more than half of them died, and now there are less than thirty people left, and only half of them are alive.

Along the way, sharing weal and woe, life and death together, Li Xingzhou was able to know each and every one of them.

When handing over these people to Huan Yanfan, Li Xingzhou's tone was very hard, saying that these people were absolutely meritorious.

If the state government dares to mess with them, I will go out and fight with them.

Huan Yanfan knew that Li Xingzhou was not joking, he was also a soldier, and of course he could understand the friendship of "sharing weal and woe, living and dying together".

So he promised that the number of these people was not large, and there were also soldiers of the Yulin Army, and Huan guaranteed that they would be fine.

Li Xingzhou was a little relieved.

Then there was the group of rebels who had been recruited from the small village.

Although their leader, Fan Jian, was dead, there were still a few minor leaders who were more familiar with Li Xingzhou.

So Li Xingzhou first found a few of them.

Let them gather their own group of brothers together.

Strictly isolated from the group of miscellaneous soldiers outside.

Huan Yanfan was worried when he saw them, not to mention anything else, they all abandoned their armor and military uniforms, which is definitely the style of "deserters".

Fang Peng's people still have their pockets, and they wear their military uniforms no matter how dirty and messy they are.

This means that they have never given up their identity as "Tang Army"!

Xing Zhou truthfully told Huan Yanfan that these people had indeed been deserters before.

But later encountered the Turkic soldiers, who fought against foreign enemies and defended the people, at least "merit and demerits"

......

I swore a blood oath to protect them!

Huan Yanfan smiled bitterly, he knew that Li Xingzhou really wanted to protect these people.

If these people survive, it will naturally be a great merit for Li Xingzhou, and from then on there will be a group of diehards in the army.

More importantly, if you want to gain a foothold in the army, such kindness is quite important.

On the contrary, if he loses his trust in them, it will be even more difficult for Li Xingzhou to win the trust of others and establish his grace in the future!

The remaining group of people are some of the remnants of the soldiers that Li Xingzhou gathered piecemeal after he walked out of the small village.

Li Xingzhou didn't know anything about them, only that some of them were involved in that encounter.

Time is pressing, and maybe the state governor will know the news.

Someone will soon be sent to fetch these remnants.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou and Huan Yanfan urgently dealt with these things overnight, and they reached the sky.

By the time dawn came, the more than 1,000 people were finally divided into three batches.

Fang Peng's group of "meritorious soldiers" were the first to enjoy heroic treatment, and Huan Yanfan sent his own soldiers and military doctors to take care of them. The remnants of the soldiers collected from the small villages were moved overnight to remote makeshift camps where the people were housed, and they were not allowed to move around.

Not long after dawn, the soldiers of Bingzhou Cao joined the army and really brought people here to contain the remnants.

So the first batch to be handed over to Bing Cao was the miscellaneous soldiers who were picked up on the way back to Bingzhou.

Li Xingzhou didn't know much about their situation, and there were either good or bad things, it was a matter for the soldiers.

Let them follow the law and follow the normal procedure to investigate.

Then the second batch was handed over to Bing Cao, who was Fang Peng.

Huan Yanfan insisted that these people were meritorious soldiers who "protected the people and made meritorious contributions".

Bing Cao joined the army and took people to inspect it, and found that Fang Peng and the others were all skinny and yellow-skinned, either injured or sick, and it was difficult to stand firmly.

If they were to be brought back to the governor's palace for questioning, they would have to send more men to serve and heal them.

In case a few deaths are in the governor's mansion of the state, there will be a troublesome lawsuit.

Although Huan Yanfan has no right to interfere with the implementation of military law by the Prefecture Governor's Office, he has some weight as the head of the rear army.

So just as the soldiers who were busy with it, it was better to have more than one thing.

Those who pushed the boat down the river recognized the list reported by Huan Yanfan, and recorded "military merits" for Fang Peng and others.

Fang Peng and the others were naturally relieved and cheered, thanked Li Xingzhou, and then recuperated with peace of mind.

The remaining third group of rebels in the small village, Li Xingzhou asked Huan Yanfan to try to hide them for two days and report later.

Anyway, the soldiers have just taken on so much work, and they can't be busy.

Huan Yanfan agreed, and sent his henchmen to supervise the camp of these rebels and strictly guard the news.

Li Xingzhou also took a lot of effort to inquire about Park Jingtai's whereabouts, but there was nothing to gain.

It was as if the reckless man had just evaporated.

Li Xingzhou was a little disappointed and sad.

This time I was busy until the afternoon.

After being busy all the way, Li Xingzhou was really tired.

Zuo Yiwei's camp is still seven or eight miles away from here, and Li Xingzhou really doesn't want to run around.

There were a number of marching tents in the vicinity that were intended to contain the people.

Li Xingzhou couldn't take care of eating, so he casually picked an empty tent and slept down, sleeping in the dark.

Huan Yanfan returned to the rear army camp, and he, the head of the rear army, had other military affairs to take care of.

After going back, the more Huan Yanfan thought about it, the more unstable he felt.

Especially the four words "Luoyang War" that Li Xingzhou said, like four mountains, pressed on his heart.

In the final analysis, Huan Yanfan is a "proper person" with one board and one eye.

He is not as flexible as Li Xingzhou and is used to playing cards without playing according to the rules.

After thinking about it again and again, Huan Yanfan, who tried to be safe, finally came up with a "foolproof strategy".

After nightfall, Huan Yanfan sent a few henchmen to secretly drag out a few carts of old military uniforms from Zuo Yiwei's camp and let the rebels from those small villages change into them.

Then Huan Yanfan solemnly told them that they must be sure that this is their own military uniform, and that they have never been a deserter......

Otherwise, you're really dead!

When Huan Yanfan was doing these things, Li Xingzhou was snoring loudly in the tent.

Not far away, the people who also settled here couldn't sleep.

The two figures silently crossed the eyes of the soldiers patrolling nearby and appeared outside Li Xingzhou's tent.

One was burly and dressed in armor, and the other was graceful and wore a black gauze palace hat.

The two of them stood quietly outside the tent, listening to Li Xingzhou's thunderous snoring.

"That's right, it's him!"

Li Xingzhou slept very deeply, but his military career trained him to be extremely vigilant.

It seems to have an invisible "heart eye".

Hearing the slightest movement outside the tent, his eyes opened.

Miraculously, the snoring has not changed in any way, and it still maintains the same rhythm and volume.

No one thought he was awake.

This may be a skill that has been practiced through many life and death experiences!

Two people outside the tent, as if they had no intention of leaving or coming in, stood outside and whispered.

When Li Xingzhou heard this, his expression suddenly became a little stunned, and he shouted, "Li Baishi!" ”

"Ahh

A low exclamation sounded outside the tent, it was really Li Baishi!

Li Xingzhou turned over and sat up.

"Who else is this person? All come in! ”

Two people outside the tent walked in one after another.

Li Baishi was dressed in a ranger suit, carrying a long sword, and wearing a black gauze palace hat.

In the middle of the night, it looks very mysterious and full of sassy and heroic.

Coming in behind her was a tall man in chain armor and a hood.

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him.

It's actually Yan Shun!

"Shhh

Li Baishi stepped forward and bent down to kneel on one knee and whispered.

"There are a lot of people here, please come with us!"
