I don't know if it's because he slept for an hour just now, Liu He didn't feel sleepy all night, and kept standing by the bonfire, saying that he was keeping vigil, but he was thinking about his own thoughts.

The next morning, he woke everyone up early, extinguished the bonfire, destroyed all traces, and left this place of right and wrong.

On the subsequent journey, Liu He can be described as cautious, and did not make any moves that would attract the attention of others along the way, let alone mention the matter of the black store.

When he returned to Chengdu, he immediately put all the 30 million taels of silver into the official treasury, and his own Tianji Battalion did not leave a single one.

With the 30 million taels of silver exchanged for Wancheng, he had already made plans.

In the three years before the start of the next battle, it is not only necessary to strengthen the combat strength, but more importantly, to develop the economy of Shu.

Let the people's lives become rich *** tax more, the more jade Daiyu, the greater the advantage of the next battle, this kind of multi-killing, why not?

As for how the 30 million taels of silver should be distributed, Liu He didn't care, with Zhuge Liang here, he didn't need to bother with this kind of thing.

What he really cared about was news from the south.

Riots in southern Xinjiang.

He is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, of course, he will not have any surprises about this, he knows that this day will come sooner or later, but he doesn't know when it will come.

The pacification of southern Xinjiang is for the great plan of going north and east, and what must be done is only when the rear is stable, and the soldiers in front can have no worries.

Compared with racking his brains to figure out how to spend the 30 million taels of silver on the blade, Liu He would rather choose to go south to quell the rebellion.

So this time, he once again let Zhuge Liang sit in Chengdu, and he himself personally led the troops to embark on the journey of Pingnan.

In the team that sent troops this time, except for Liu He's own soldiers of the 5,000 Tianji Battalion, not a single soldier of the Yizhou defenders was used, but the number of the entire team reached more than 10,000 people.

This is all thanks to the various gangs and factions that did not participate in the battle, as soon as they heard that Liu He was going to march south, they immediately volunteered to contribute, of course, this is also because as soon as Liu He returned to Chengdu, he immediately rewarded those Jianghu people who had made meritorious contributions in the battle.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, Liu He also gave a large piece of land to the gangs and sects where the Jianghu people belonged, which made the gang leaders who failed to participate in the battle extremely red-eyed.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and if you fail to participate in the battle, you must not miss this southern expedition again.

With the previous experience, these gang leaders are also full of hearts, and they no longer do those so-called stupid things to retain their strength, and all the elites sent out are from their own sects.

What is the most important thing to occupy a place in the rivers and lakes? Turf, of course!

If the territory is divided by others, what's the use of keeping a bunch of so-called young talents? Isn't it the same to drink the northwest wind with yourself?

Therefore, the Jianghu people in the southern expedition team this time, not only are there more people than during the battle, but the combat power is also high and terrifying, I heard that there are a few old monsters who have never been willing to shoot easily, and they have also joined this southern expedition under the coercion and lure of the head of the faction.

In addition, Liu He's Tianji Battalion has been trained by Han Yi himself, and his combat power is even better, so the team of this southern expedition only has more than 10,000 people on the surface, but in fact, it has already defeated the combat power of 100,000 troops.

With an army of 100,000, it is not a matter of minutes to destroy the heartless Southern King Meng Shu in Southern Xinjiang? What's more, the entire southern Xinjiang can fight together, I am afraid there are not 100,000 people.

On the day when Liu He led the army out of the city, the people said goodbye, and they all felt that Mr. Tianji personally went out to quell the chaos in the south, and within a month, the good news would be transmitted back to Chengdu.

Walking at the front of the team, Liu He, who was riding a tall horse, was naturally confident, since he already knew the other party's routine, he didn't need to spend any thought at all, at most it just took some time.

The people sent out ten miles of land, and then they gradually dispersed.

At this time, behind Liu He, in addition to the team that participated in the southern expedition, there were only the leaders and heads of the thirty-six major gangs and seventy-two major factions left.

Of course, there is a reason why these people are all present.

They all received the invitation from Liu He personally, but when they received the invitation, the leaders of those big gangs frowned in confusion.

The invitation said that they would be invited to attend the wedding of a couple outside Chengdu.

Everyone has participated in the wedding, but getting married outside the city is the first time in my life that I have heard of it, let alone in the wilderness ten miles away from Chengdu.

When they came to the so-called wedding scene, they were even more shocked.

Because not only is there no celebration to be seen here, but it is also a cemetery.

Liu He didn't take the initiative to explain, and these gang leaders didn't want to ask, so when they came to the cemetery, they saw Liu He taking the lead in turning over and dismounting, and these people also hurriedly dismounted, stuffed the reins of the horse into the hands of his subordinates and disciples, and quickly followed.

A group of big people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes followed Liu He around the cemetery, and when they saw the names on the tombstones, the puzzled expressions on their faces all disappeared, but they were replaced by a faint sadness.

"This place, I asked someone to see it, the feng shui is excellent, it was originally prepared for me and my brothers in the Tianji Battalion," Liu He said in a calm tone, and looked back at the group of gang leaders behind him, "Do you know why I brought you here today?" ”

Among the leaders of the thirty-six major gangs and seventy-two major factions, except for a few who looked calm, the rest were all flustered and a little embarrassed.

Liu He sighed, and his gaze returned to the tomb, "I came back from Xuchang and heard one thing, most of the gang disciples who died in the battle have no relatives and no relatives, and their bodies are not claimed at all, and finally we from the Tianji Battalion buried them with our own hands." ”

Liu He squatted down, grabbed a handful of loess from the ground, and said softly: "It's too troublesome for people to live, eat, drink, and lazar, you have to worry about everything, but when you die, as long as you dig a pit and add a few shovels of soil, is it really that difficult?" ”

When the gang leaders heard this, they all lowered their heads deeply.

"Three days, three whole days, the corpses stink, no one cares, when they are alive, they call them brothers, and when they die, it's like they don't know," Liu He stood up suddenly, glaring at those big people on the rivers and lakes, "Even if you are an unknown person, you won't look at them in the wilderness, right?" ”
