He Youyi finished narrating the details of the battle at Feixian Pass, and no one in the lobby spoke.

A planned sneak attack, only to be counter-attacked by the enemy, made Zhu Pingjin unbelievable. The huge casualties of five dead and eleven injured made Zhu Pingjin even more unexpected. Unable to contain his emotions, he left his chair and paced slowly through the lobby. How do you evaluate this operation? said that he had won, but he was obviously deceiving himself, and he could only be regarded as a miserable victory; If they say they have lost, they must be punished appropriately, and this will certainly dampen the confidence and enthusiasm of the soldiers who fought last night.

Zhu Pingjin secretly warned himself in his heart that how to properly clean up the situation after the first battle was a major test for himself, and he must not affect the morale of the troops because of his emotions.

Finally thinking things through in his head, Zhu Pingjin let out a sigh of relief. He returned to his seat and pressed his hand to let He Youyi and Song Zhensi sit down. He said: "In this battle, the predetermined goal was completely achieved, so we have won, and it is a big victory!" Those who participate in the war will be rewarded, and they will be distributed when they return to Bifeng Gorge! The injured should be treated as soon as possible, so they had to stay in Feixian Pass. Brother Yun, I'll leave this matter to you! In addition to rewards, soldiers who died in battle were also given bereavement benefits. If they have families, we send them to their families; If he has no family, we will help him adopt an orphan and give him his surname, and we can't let his family cut off the incense! All the dead were buried on the spot, there were no coffins, and we had to wrap the bodies in cloth and bury them. A tombstone should be left in front of the grave, and the name should be engraved so that it is convenient for future sacrifices. Each deceased person cut off a strand of hair, and we will have the opportunity to bury the hair at the Zhaozhong Temple in the future. Mr. He, you are the commander of this operation, and you are also the deputy battalion supervisor of our caravan. You are responsible for the aftermath of the war dead! Platoon Commander Wang, the deceased are all your fellow villagers, and you assisted Mr. He. The two of you should come up with a pension charter as soon as possible and send it to the son of the world for a look. As for Mr. Gao, you respect Mr. Gao's wishes. ”

The people who entered the city this time were basically villagers brought by Wang Daniu from Qiongzhou. Now that the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, how to give an explanation to the township makes Wang Daniu very worried. After listening to Zhu Pingjin's detailed arrangements, the stone in Wang Daniu's heart finally let go. He didn't wait for He Youyi to respond, he came out first and kowtowed to Zhu Pingjin and said: "The prince is high-minded, and the big cow has thanked the son on behalf of the villagers!" ”

Zhu Pingjin called Wang Daniu up and said: "The armor does not worship, and only the military salute is carried out in the army." Platoon Commander Wang will take his subordinates to practice seriously in the future! Combat cannot only rely on personal bravery, but also must be strict in military discipline and in unison! ”

Sleeping on the sentry and retreating from the battle are essentially lax military discipline. Wang Daniu knew that Zhu Pingjin was criticizing him, so he apologized again.

Zhu Pingjin said: "Mr. He also said just now that our first battle exposed many flaws. There are command, training, intelligence and reconnaissance, and even more military discipline! After we returned, we should conscientiously sum up the lessons and have the whole army of the caravan participate in the evening lectures. Mr. He wants to talk about Da Niu, Yun Ge'er, Chen Youfu, and all the combatants this time, all of whom must tell their personal experiences in front of everyone. Successes should be talked about, and miscalculations should also be talked about! It is a stone of the mountain, and it can attack jade! ”

Because of the need to deal with the injuries of the deceased, Zhu Pingjin had to temporarily change his itinerary and stayed overnight at Feixian Pass.

On the morning of the third day of the second month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the mist had just dispersed, and the mountains and trees and wild grasses were wet everywhere. On the side of the mountain outside the wall of Feixian Pass, a small cemetery was temporarily opened. The cemetery is surrounded by a wooden fence, and in the middle is a large cemetery, where six people are buried, including two seriously injured people who did not make it through last night. There is also a small tomb next to the large burial tomb, where the beautiful and capable Tibetan girl is buried. In front of both tombs there is a wooden tablet with the name of the deceased and the thoughts of the person who erected the monument. There is also an incense burner in front of each of the two tombs, on which burning candles are inserted in pairs.

In front of the cemetery, hundreds of soldiers stood in order. Zhu Pingjin stood in front with his officers and guards.

"All of them, stand upright! Worship the heroes of our caravan! I, the prince of Shu in the Ming Dynasty, received the sacrifice! "Last night, Zhu Pingjin temporarily formulated today's worship ceremony, and asked Song Zhensi, the second-ranked loudest voice, to act as the master of ceremonies for the ceremony, and Cao Sanbao stood next to him to be responsible for reminding him.

Zhu Pingjin stepped forward, lit the incense candle in his hand, and returned to the front of the team.

"One bow, another bow, three bows ......".

Zhu Pingjin paid tribute to the war dead of the caravan, and then to the Tibetan girl. The girl's Abba was seriously ill in bed and could not attend the funeral, so Gao Antai took it upon himself to accept the worship as a relative of the girl. Every time Zhu Pingjin bowed, Gao Antai lay on the ground and kowtowed once.

The grand finale of the worship ceremony was staged. I only heard Song Zhensi yelling: "Corrupt officials, eagle dogs, lackeys, everyone can be killed!" Bring them over! ”

I saw that the eighteen officers and soldiers were captured, including the captured old soldier on the city tower, all tied up with rags in their mouths, and were fiercely pushed and shoved by Chen Youfu and the soldiers to the front of the team.

Zhu Pingjin turned around, stepped on a boulder, pulled out the steel knife on his body, raised it high, and shouted at the soldiers: "Corrupt officials, thieves and bandits, it is really a great harm in the world!" The ministers misled the country, the thieves raged, and the officials and gentry did not know how many people died! The kings of the Taizu Domain, in the center of the split screen. As the son of the Shu Domain, I was the last son of my ancestors, and I was entrusted by the people, so I didn't dare to love myself, but I took it as my responsibility to protect the country and the people. Gentlemen, dare to walk with me? ”

Gao Antai got up from the ground, dried his eyes, drew his knife, and roared wildly. Song Zhensi, He Youyi, and nearly a thousand Han and Tushi soldiers also pulled out their weapons and shouted:

"I dare! I dare! ”

Zhu Pingjin stood high on the stone, facing the roaring crowd, raising his knife with the wind, which was a bit of a feeling of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township. He looked at everything around him with pride, waved his sword, and ordered loudly: "Behead all the pigs and dogs, and sacrifice my heroic spirit!" ”

Before setting off from Feixian Pass, Zhu Pingjin made some adjustments to the troops.

The first is the guard of Feixian Pass. It was originally scheduled to be Gao Antai, and some of the Tusi soldiers would also stay here. But since the death of his beloved, Gao Antai seems to have changed his heart greatly, and his eyes are red when he looks at people all night. Gao Antai found Zhu Pingjin last night and asked to bring the army into the mainland and follow Zhu Pingjin to build a meritorious career. His demands coincided with Zhu Pingjin's true thoughts. Of course, Zhu Pingjin was reluctant to trap such a large and powerful force in the ghost place of Feixian Pass, and he had to hire someone to transport grain to feed him. Tusi soldiers are mostly surnamed Gao, except for Gao Antai, no one can take them at all. So as soon as Gao Antai requested, Zhu Pingjin immediately pushed the boat down the river and agreed. Feixian Pass, as a business hub from Yazhou to Tianquan and Lushan County, is still handed over to the Gao family, but not now. Wang Daniu's spy platoon was expanded into a spy company. He Youyi was relieved of his positions as company commander of the fourth company and company supervisor of the third company, and concurrently served as the commander of the special service company. Wang Daniu served as the deputy company commander, and Luo Jingyun served as the deputy company supervisor. He Youyi continued to follow Zhu Pingjian, while Wang Daniu and Luo Jingyun led the special agent platoon into the city to serve as the garrison of Feixian Pass, ensuring that the road from Yazhou to Feixian Pass was unblocked, and at the same time taking care of the wounded soldiers. They also have a task, which is to be responsible for recruiting troops in the direction of Lushan County. It belongs to the land of Han and Tibet, and there are both Han people and Dong Buman. Zhu Pingjin believes that no matter where there are people in the world, where there are people, there is class, and there is a disparity between the rich and the poor. Some poor families will gather under the banner of recruitment for a bite of food, even Dong Buman is no exception. He estimated that it would not be a big problem to recruit one or two hundred people in Lushan, and it would just be enough to fill the structure of the spy company. Tusi Bing temporarily left a team of fifty people to assist Wang Daniu and Luo Jingyun. The small leader of the toast who led the team is responsible for showing his head to the outside world.

The second is Chen Youfu's promotion. In this battle, Chen Youfu performed perfectly and was highly praised by Zhu Pingjin. While strictly abiding by military orders, he meticulously and properly carried out combat mobilization and operational arrangements in accordance with the general operational intentions of his superiors, and showed courage and flexibility in actual combat, completely annihilating and fleeing the enemy, and achieving zero casualties on his own side. Zhu Pingjin felt that in time, Chen Youfu might become one of his generals. Coupled with Chen Youfu's status as a slave in the royal palace and his excellent performance in training, Zhu Pingjin decided to expand Chen Youfu's class into a platoon, which was numbered as the first platoon of the first company of the caravan, with the first, eighth and ninth classes under its jurisdiction. The company-level establishment of the caravan was originally scheduled to be four platoons in one company and three shifts in one platoon. However, due to the shortage of personnel, each company has seven squads under its direct jurisdiction, and no platoon-level units have been set up. The first platoon of Chen Youfu's first company is the first platoon-level unit of the regular army in addition to the special service platoon. Chen Youfu's subordinates were also promoted, Lao Tan, who had a good brain, became the first squad leader, Lao Wen, who was loyal and honest, became the eighth squad leader, and Wang Sanniu temporarily replaced the ninth squad leader. put Wang Sanniu in Chen Youfu's row, which Zhu Pingjin deliberately did. He came from the thinking of employing people in later generations, and always felt that it was not a good thing for the family to stay in the same unit.

Zhu Pingjin completed the deployment and restructuring of the army, and then led the army to advance in the direction of Yazhou. Passing by Huangyan Gang, ten Tusi soldiers belonging to the Feixian Pass garrison stayed. They will serve as the outpost of Feixian Pass, and work with the main force of the garrison in the city to ensure the safety of this section of the road.

By noon, the brigade had already drilled out of the canyon. The banks of the Tsing Yi River gradually open up and flatten here, and the green mountains and green mountains are also miles away. There is a fork in the road ahead. A road on the right, along the river bank to the north gate of Yazhou stone bridge; There is a road on the left, along the side of the mountain to Bifeng Gorge. Zhu Pingjin ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, drink river water and eat dry food. He sat on a piece of Cao Sanbao's polished roadside pebbles, took a pot helmet, and chewed it heavily. Half of the pot helmet went down to the stomach, and there was warmth in the belly.

At this moment, a scout horse in front of him galloped to report:

A large number of people are running towards this direction in the direction of Yazhou, and they are approaching rapidly. It looks like it's on the run!
