Chapter 188: The Battle of Wuwei (14)
Soon after Li Wenyuan arrived in Wuwei County to inspect the camp prepared in advance for Zong Luohu, the army led by Zong Luohu also rushed to Wuwei County in a hurry.
When there was still some distance from Wuwei County, Zong Luohu saw that there seemed to be a lot of people waiting for someone there on the official road. Then, before Zong Rahu sent scouts to the front to inquire about the situation, a fast horse galloped from a distance and stopped not far in front of Zong Rahu's army. Immediately, the man pulled the reins of the horse and led the horse, and then hugged his fist at Zong Luohu and said, "May I ask if this general is General Zong Luohu under the tent of Xue Ju, the lord of the Great Qin State?" ”
"It's Qin General Zong Luohu below, may I ask who this little brother is?" Zong Luohu also sat on the horse and saluted back, and asked the person in front of him.
"General Zong, I am a personal soldier under the account of Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions, and at this time, I am specially here to lead the way for the guest army on the order of the governor of my family." The pro-soldier said to Zong Luohu.
"Are you Li Wenyuan's personal soldier? Could it be that Li Wenyuan is also in Wuwei County now? Zong Luohu heard that person claiming to be Li Wenyuan's personal soldier, so he said with some surprise.
"Back to the general, the head of my family is now in Wuwei County, and a banquet has been set up at this time waiting for you to go to the banquet. I also asked the general to lead the troops to the camp with me and enter the city after setting up a large camp, and the chief of my family once specially told me to invite you to him as soon as you arrived in Wuwei County, and he should recount the old feelings with you. The soldier turned his horse's head and led the way in front of his head, and slowly marched towards Wuwei County with Zong Luohu's army.
Zong Luohu led the army to follow behind the soldiers and slowly marched forward, and came to the place where the figures he had seen in the distance were crowded and saw that it was some people who had spontaneously come from Wuwei County to eat pot pulp to welcome the guest army who had come to support.
In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Wuwei County as much as possible, Zhuang Fudi spread the news of the support army of Zong Luohu to the people after obtaining Li Wenyuan's consent. At this time, the people in the entire Wuwei County knew that there was such an army to help the Western Regions Army jointly defend Wuwei County, so the people's hearts were calmed down a lot. And at this time, in order to defend their homeland, these people have done their best to help the army do some things. And at this time, in order to dispel some people's skepticism about the guest army mentioned by Zhuang Fudi, he also specially revealed to the people the time when the Zong Luohu army arrived in Wuwei County, so there was this scene of eating pot pulp to welcome the Zong Luohu army.
After arriving at the campsite, Zong Luohu was also very satisfied. You must know that the camp in front of you that Li Wenyuan prepared for his army is much better than the camp not far from Jincheng. So he called several of his lieutenants and asked them to help command the army to set up camp here, and then followed the personal soldier into the county town of Wuwei County alone.
In order to clean up the dust for Zong Luohu, Li Wenyuan had already spent a lot of money to contract the entire most famous restaurant in Wuwei County, and he had been waiting here for a long time. At this time, seeing Zong Luohu coming to the meeting alone, Li Wenyuan stood up very happily, took two steps forward and grabbed Zong Luohu's arm, and then pulled him to the table and sat down and said to him:
"Oh, sect leader, it's been a few years since the day Wu Wei left until now."
"That's right, that's what Mr. Li said. At the beginning, you and I fought Li Rail here, but now I still remember it vividly, as if it happened yesterday. But now looking at the identities of you and me, you are now the overlord of the Western Regions, and I am also serving His Majesty the Qin State, so it can be said that you have reached a position that I did not dare to imagine before. What's more, I was able to serve under the main account of the Great Qin Kingdom, thanks to your guidance at the beginning, and now I really feel embarrassed when I think back on these past events. Zong Luohu saw that although Li Wenyuan and himself had been separated for a long time, he did not feel estranged because of this, and he was very happy in his heart, and unconsciously recalled all the things that happened between himself and Li Wenyuan from the beginning to the separation.
When Li Wenyuan heard Zong Luohu mention that he instructed Zong Luohu to defect to Xue Ju, he remembered that he had pushed Zong Luohu out of bad taste out of bad taste after he had gained a foothold in the Western Regions, and let him come to Xue Ju's side one step earlier than in history to serve Xue Ju. Who knows that he did an unintentional move at the beginning, but now it seems to have a good effect. After all, it was Zong Luohu who led the army to come to his aid, and if he really came with someone else at this time, although he could also listen to his own orders, he would definitely not be able to do it like Zong Luohu to make people not feel the strangeness they brought about as a guest army.
"The leader of the sect said that there is a rule in my Western Regions army that no matter how the war is together, no alcohol is allowed in the army. As the governor of the Western Regions, I naturally have to lead by example. Therefore, our banquet today can only be wronged by the leader of the sect to replace the wine with tea, and since we have said this, let's talk about the ugly things in the front, since the leader of the sect has now been incorporated into the battle sequence of our Western Regions Army as a guest army to help us, then it is natural to abide by the military rules and regulations of our Western Regions Army. Later, I will send someone to you to tell you in detail, if someone violates military discipline, then even the friendship between you and me will not settle the matter. Li Wenyuan poured a cup of tea for Zong Luohu and said to Zong Luohu.
"There are no rules, there is no circle, and the general manager will naturally raise his hands in favor of this time as my sect Luohu. Moreover, as a weapon of the country, the army will only be used when fighting with other countries, so it is natural to take it back into its sheath on weekdays. If you don't have a scabbard, wouldn't it be extremely easy to hurt someone? Therefore, if it is reasonable in military discipline, I will naturally restrain my subordinates to abide by it. Zong Luohu nodded in agreement.
"The leader of the sect can rest assured that I usually command the army under my subordinates with this set of military rules and discipline. Naturally, there are no unreasonable provisions in it, not to mention that even if there are, they will be improved accordingly in these years of continuous running-in, after all, the army under my command is also human. ”
The guests and hosts of this banquet enjoyed themselves and chatted late into the night. Li Wenyuan and Zong Luohu each described in detail what they had experienced in the years after their separation, and they laughed heartily when they talked about the laughter, and they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for each other when they talked about the tension, and finally the whole banquet ended in a very cheerful atmosphere.
