Chapter 306: The Return of the Expedition
It was also Malu that was originally a shopping mall! And the people of the city also made money for the convenience of the merchants. So the more businessmen come, the more places they make money. In the case of real benefits, their support for the Governor's Palace of Khorasan has increased.
When he heard that the Great Diwan of the Ministry of War led the apologetic army to return north, he followed the road to greet him. They knew that as long as the Governor's Palace existed, the city of Malu would flourish day by day.
So what reason did they have to resist the cathars?
At that moment, under the leadership of the Abra River, Li Gao led the army to the camp of the cathars.
Just listen: "Woo ~ woo ~ woo ~ ······", and the low sound of the horn sounded in the barracks. The flags are displayed, and the generals are lined up.
A wooden platform more than three feet high, like an altar, stands firmly in the camp.
This is the table used to watch the game a few days ago, and it has never been removed. Now it is used as a teaching platform, and it just happens to be used to the fullest.
Abrajiang explained a few words, and asked Li Gao to lead the meritorious men who conquered Nishapur County, as well as many generals and righteous soldiers who had surrendered, to the meritorious platform together.
Li Qi's eyesight is good, and he saw Li Chengji, the governor of Khorasan who had been absent for a long time, from a distance. Stand on the high platform and look at yourself with a smile. Behind him, there were also the chiefs of the six divisions.
He instantly felt that the blood and sweat shed in Nishapur County was worth it.
Emani is also in the ranks of the meritorious ones. The first time I saw such a pomp, I was deeply shocked on my face.
It was also in the army of Khorezm that he used to be just an inconspicuous ordinary general. Not to mention showing his face in front of the Sultan, even the emir is difficult to see. And in Khorezm's army, it is easy to be robbed. He has made a lot of merits in the past, but he has been taken by others.
Because the other party has a great relationship with those commanders, even if he has grievances, he can only bear it. Unlike the apologetics army, which calculates military merits, it is extremely transparent and fair. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you pass, you will be punished.
In the battle to conquer Nishapurshire, he lured the enemy and led the way, and all the credits were recorded. So this time, he was also with Li Wei.
It's just that his identity is more embarrassing!
Although he has joined the Guardian Army, he was once a member of the Khorezm army. So speaking of which, it can be regarded as a prisoner.
But among the captives, his reputation was not good. Because those Khorezm soldiers who suffered defeat blamed him for the fault. It is believed that it was he who took refuge in the Guardian Army, so that Khorezm was defeated so quickly and completely in the Battle of Guchang.
Therefore, in the barracks of 40,000 captives, he was extremely unwelcome.
But in the Guardian Army, he was no less welcome. Because he had escaped when he was captured by the cathars. This made the apologists who were loyal to the governor of Khorasan and to the Puritans consider him to be a cunning man.
Therefore, the current situation is that neither the cathars nor the original captives are quite unkind to him.
But Armani doesn't think anything!
Because he knows that the cathars judge heroes by merit. As long as he makes a lot of meritorious contributions to the Apologetic Army, even if others don't like him, there is no other way.
Especially when he saw the governor of Khorasan standing on the stage, his heart was even more intense.
In the end, there are many people who have made meritorious contributions, but there are not many people who can be personally conferred meritorious services by the governor of Khorasan. This also made those who were hostile to him panic in their hearts.
Yangir is also among the crowd! It's just that he didn't confer merit, but was asked to see him by the governor of the cathar.
Of course, this is also because of his father.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked at Timur who was not far from Li Qi.
Since Gu Chang's defeat, his father was captured by the cathars. At that time, the injuries were not minor and needed to be cared for. Because he was his son, he was appointed to take care of his father.
He is still quite grateful for this arrangement. Even though he was cold on his face, his hostility towards the cathars had unconsciously faded a little.
Later, when his father's injuries improved, in Khorezm, it was reported that Prince Rajad had been poisoned and died, and the Sultan of Mahamad led a counterattack to quell the rebellion.
All of a sudden, he didn't know where to go.
For he and his father were dependent on Prince Rajad. That's a bet! If they win, they will destroy the Li family, and they will be among the families of Khorezm. If you lose, you will never recover.
At this time, the head of the Khorasan Governor's Palace, Dadi Wan Li, sent someone to make peace. Listening to the meaning, it seems that as long as his father joins the cathars, he can be reused.
Truth be told, during the time he was captured by the cathars, he had more respect than resistance to the cathars. Because the military appearance and military discipline embodied by the Apologists are not possessed by the guards of Khorezm.
As a teenager who has been in the army since he was a child, he will naturally have a good impression of such an army.
So he also acted as a lobbyist in front of his father, getting him to agree to the cathar's terms.
But when it came to Curti's family, his father was a little hesitant. As a result, the governor of Khorasan wrote a personal letter to his father. Between the words, there is a lot of appreciation. The family members who remained in Curti were also rescued by the spies of the Governor's Mansion at this time.
His father finally let go of his knot and agreed to serve the governor of Khorasan.
Now that he wants to meet the famous governor of Khorasan, he has a little fire in his heart and a little curiosity. I secretly guessed what kind of people could build such an army.
As he thought about this, the line had stopped. Only then did he realize that he had arrived at the altar.
I saw that the great Diwan Li of the household department, who had never been smiling, had already led several generals above the commander of a thousand commanders to the front of the stage. Looking at the very young governor of Khorasan, he took the clear water handed by the waiter. A few drops were dipped and poured on Li Qiqi and others.
and several different secrets of the governor's palace, poured a glass of cool and unusually cool, but smelly water for each of them. It is said that this is not water, but shochu newly made in the sake brewery of the Governor's Palace.
Ordinary people will get drunk and unconscious after drinking three or five bowls. However, it is the most suitable for cooling off the cold and entertaining guests. Because it relieves fatigue and refreshes people's minds. Nowadays, I am tired from a long distance, and I am most tired. Drink a glass of soju, just in time.
Yang Jier had heard of this wine and tasted it himself. It's just that he tasted it secretly behind his father's back. That intoxicating taste still makes him nostalgic.
He swallowed his saliva unconsciously, looked at Li Qiqi and the others, and drank it all in one gulp. smashed to the ground again, and the whole army roared with joy.
