In the south of Jincheng County, the battlefield at the mouth of the valley has been cleaned, and those Guangwu cavalrymen who had previously pushed a cart to transport the remains of the fallen soldiers in Longxi put the remains of their own fallen cavalry on the cart, and then pushed back to the north bank.

It was early autumn and the weather was still very hot. However, the horsemen have not rested since yesterday evening. Watching them push the cart carrying the dead robe under the light provided by the torches around them, and move towards the pontoon bridge step by step, Li Yanzhao also felt a little unbearable. Under such high-intensity combat and labor, it is not easy for the cavalry under his command to persist until now with tenacious perseverance and organization.

However, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and the casualties of the Chinese army have long been transferred back to the camp. It is impossible for the Guangwu cavalry to leave the bodies of the fallen soldiers here, or bury them hastily. Li Yanzhao thought about it, and the only way to do this was to transport the bodies of the ninety or so back to the camp, and then place them for a few hours to let the cavalry under his command rest for a while. Tomorrow morning, they will be sent back to the county government and handed over to the officials who are in charge of managing the martyrs' shrine.

When they went out of the camp for 20 miles, they still lost more than a dozen cavalry under the pursuit of the Huns. And the corpses of these dozen people have never been brought back. Thinking of this, Li Yanzhao couldn't help but feel heartache. He really didn't know how he would explain to the families of these dozen horsemen if he met them in the future.

Li Yanzhao whispered to Liu Jiwu, who was walking not far in front of him. Then he was instructed to write down the names of the dozen or so horsemen who had died in the camp. If their bones could not be found, a tomb was erected for them in the cemetery near the Martyrs' Shrine. Then invite the tablet into the martyr's shrine according to the law.

Except for the horsemen who were pushing the cart to transport the remains of the robe, the rest of the people quickly returned to the camp, after all, from yesterday evening to now, except for fighting, it is work. The soldiers were also really tired.

However, how to settle the more than 400 newly descended Longxi pawns has become a problem. Han Ning was inclined to temporarily detain these four hundred people to the camp first. Li Yanzhao, on the other hand, was very unimpressed with the statement of detention. Even if the Longxi pawns fought to the death with the Zhao army on their backs, they still failed to gain enough respect for them. Han Ning is still guarding them closely, not only confiscating their weapons, but also guarding against these hundreds of loyal people.

For Han Ning's style, from Li Yanzhao's heart, he felt unfair and unnecessary. These Longxi soldiers also contributed to the defense of Liangzhou and shed blood. And almost became the key to Liangzhou's victory in this outpost battle. It's chilling to treat them like this now. Now that there are people who come and come in the future, it is difficult to say whether they will take these Longxi pawns as a lesson from the past.

However, at this time, when Han Ning was discussing with the rest of the senior generals, Li Yanzhao was also inconvenient to interject. It's just that I'm anxious in my heart.

After Han Ning finished speaking, all the generals were silent. However, this short silence did not last long, and Du Jie, the thousand-man governor of the Guangwu Army, stood up, clasped his fists and said to Han Ning: "Han Duhu, our battalion outside Guangwu City is still vacant, you might as well send a team of foot soldiers to escort them to our army's camp for a temporary stay." It also saves you from the trouble of guarding and eating here, and what are you protecting it? ”

Han Ning stretched out his right hand and touched his face, then after thinking about it for a while, he said, "If it can be like this, it should be the best, but it is still necessary to prevent these remnants from causing chaos." ”

Du Jie smiled: "I'm too worried." There is enough food in our county to sustain these hundreds for months. If they have food to eat, how can they make trouble? Although our county soldiers are all out of this place at this time, we can ask the government to transfer about 1,000 county soldiers to move to the county town, which can be safe. ”

Hearing this, Han Ning nodded again. He said: "Just do as Du Du said." After speaking, he was just about to walk into the camp, but Li Yanzhao's voice sounded behind him: "Han Duhu, the governor of a thousand people." In the end, there will be a wonderful way to properly settle these Longxi soldiers, and there is no need to ask for money and grain from the county government. Don't even guard against them from doing things on their own. ”

Hearing this, Han Ning stopped the steps he was about to take out. And Du Jie, who was on the side, was already looking at Li Yanzhao in surprise.

Du Jie knew that Li Yanzhao had a lot of ideas, and sometimes he often had a brilliant idea, and he often hit the nail on the head. Therefore, he was quite curious about Li Yanzhao's clever plan to place these newly descended remnants.

"Last year, the martial arts Su clan fled from Guanzhong, and its head Su Xuan brought hundreds of people from the Quyin household. Now that he has settled in Yongdeng County, can Du Du know? ”

Hearing this, Du Jie nodded, and said, "I remember this matter, our ministry also helped those Su clan Quyin households to reclaim fields, so that they could have cultivated fields in Yongdeng to maintain their families. ”

"Later, when our troops went out to investigate, they rescued a remnant of the dock fort. But it was Su Xuan's nephew, named Su Fu. This little Langjun and his home fort were broken by the Hu people, and his father must have died in the war. Therefore, he hated the Hu people to the core, and he always did not want to raise troops to march east and slaughter Hu for revenge. ”

"I told him that Su Xuan lived in Yongdeng, and sent someone to escort this little Langjun to his relatives. Now that the Su family has been settled, we will give this branch to the shadow of the tribe, presumably the Su family has many acres of fields, and it should not be a problem to feed this new hundreds of tribes. ”

"If the Su clan doesn't accept it, what will happen?" Du Jie heard Li Yanzhao's story and felt that this method was feasible. However, he still had doubts, so he asked questions.

"If the Su clan does not accept it, we will place it in the camp of our army as Du Du said, and ask the government to transfer the county troops to the county town as a precaution. Yongdeng County is not far from this, but it is only half a day's journey, and I will send a team of cavalry to escort them, even if the Su family does not accept it, they can also be brought to the camp for settlement, how about Du Du's opinion? ”

Du Jie nodded, then turned his head to look at Han Ning. Seeing that Han Ning also nodded in agreement, he instructed Li Yanzhao to complete the matter, and he himself led the army back to the camp to rest.

In fact, at that time, Liangzhou did not have enough troops. However, for the sake of the stability of the army, Han Ning did not want to annex these new soldiers from Longxi, who were secretly hostile to Liangzhou, into the army.

If they are forcibly incorporated into the army, whether they are broken up and digested or reorganized into a structure, they will obviously do more harm than good in a situation where they will face tremendous military pressure in the short term.

Liangzhou General Zuo didn't know much about this Longxi pawn, and in wartime, whether the commander could command them or not, whether they would listen to the greetings or not, and whether they could act as a trusted robe at a critical moment, no one knew the bottom of their hearts. It was precisely because of this that Han Ning gave up the idea of adapting this Longxi pawn, and tried to use other ways to place and control this Longxi remnant.

At the moment, sending this Longxi pawn to Su's home as a part is also the most convenient and trouble-free way to resettle, although I don't know if the Su clan is willing to accept these Longxi pawns, but all the generals are willing to give it a try.

So, after resting for an hour, Li Yanzhao sent Cao Jian to lead his team of cavalry to escort those Longxi soldiers to Yongdeng County overnight. Shao Lei led his troops to escort those cart soldiers and sent the bodies of the more than 90 Guangwu cavalry soldiers who died in battle to the county seat.

At the time of separation, Tao Heng, a hundred horsemen in Longxi, came to find Li Yanzhao. When he learned that his Longxi pawns were about to be sent to the family of the Shi clan to serve as the Yin Hu tribe, he was reluctant and came to Li Yanzhao to beg Li Yanzhao to leave the more than 20 of them in the Guangwu army.

Li Yanzhao heard Tao Heng's request, but he was a little embarrassed. He said bluntly: "Now that General Feng is still unconscious, the Shangguan have decided to send you and others to Yongdeng. There's nothing I can do about it. ”

When Tao Heng heard this, his brows furrowed, the muscles on his face were constantly trembling, he was silent for a few breaths, he clenched his fists and said: "Li Bairen will save us and others from the predicament, and snatch General Feng out of the chaotic army, this favor cannot be repaid." I and my 26 Longxi athletes are willing to drive forward for 100 people, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not give up! ”

Li Yanzhao heard Tao Heng's words of service, and his expression was a little complicated. It is not impossible to bring these more than 20 Longxi pawns under his command. At present, the Guangwu cavalry is seriously reduced, and if you want to maintain combat effectiveness, you also need veterans like Tao Heng's subordinates.

Seeing Li Yanzhao's hesitation, the more than 20 Longxi horsemen behind Tao Heng were all shocked, thinking that Li Yanzhao was unwilling to take them in, and everyone looked sad. After staring at each other for a few breaths, the more than 20 horsemen all knelt on the ground with their fists clenched, and said in a trembling voice: "I am willing to drive forward for a hundred people, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up!" ”

At this point, Li Yanzhao had no reason to persuade himself to refuse them, he hurriedly stepped forward, helped up these Longxi horsemen who were half-kneeling on the ground one by one, and then said in a firm tone: "So...... I agreed to everyone's request, and in the future, I hope that you will work hard with me to move forward, and I will live up to your kindness! ”
