In addition to more than 20,000 battle troops, more than 10,000 Lu Long troops, as well as nearly half of the Anbei battalion and nearly 10,000 new troops of Huangfulin to relieve the siege of Hengzhou, and finally arrived at the 5,000 reserve battalions of the Bohai battlefield, in addition to the casualties of this battle, the Youzhou army now gathered in Zhengzhou is as many as nearly 50,000 people. And that's not counting the auxiliaries and civilians who transport logistical supplies.

Because it can be said that for this campaign, almost all the forces that Lu Long can mobilize have been mobilized. This means that every day of the war is a huge consumption of food and goods.

When Mo Li and Wang Pu were discussing last night, the reason why they suggested returning to Lu Long immediately was because they were worried that Youzhou was overwhelmed. Although Li Congjing has worked hard in Lu Long in recent years and accumulated some family funds, the war lasted for half a year, and if you count the auxiliary soldiers, civilian men and local troops, the number of people participating in the war was as high as nearly 100,000, not to mention that the consumption of armor and medicine was astronomical, and it was only the cost of 100,000 daily rations, which was shocking.

The cost of war is still innumerable.

After Li Congjing made the decision to march into the West Building, the 50,000 Youzhou Army did not set off immediately, but needed to rest in Zhengzhou for two days. Moreover, the army stayed in Jeongju, and there was something else important.

On the day after the end of the Battle of Zhengzhou, that is, on the sixth day of the first month of March, Damingan led more than 10,000 new troops to arrive in Zhengzhou City. On the way to the march, Xi descended from the sky and learned that Yelu Abaoji had withdrawn his troops, and he was stunned for a long time, he thought that there was still a lot of blood in this battle, but he didn't want the victory to come so suddenly.

After holding the messenger and confirming it repeatedly, Da Ming'an looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing straight and lying down in the grass on the side of the budding road, ignoring the image - at this time, no one cared about his gaffe, and the soldiers who heard the good news were all cheering earth-shattering, hugging and celebrating each other.

In the noisy cheers, Da Ming'an, who was lying on the ground unscrupulously, cried with a smile and laughed, and burst into tears when he cried. At this time, he really wanted to find a place where no one was and howled and cried.

Da Ming'an, whose eyes were blurred, saw the blue sky through the treetops, as if he had seen himself all these years, and his weak body was crawling and staggering forward in various dangers.

Four years ago, he was just a young man who had just passed the age of establishment and was full of enthusiasm, and he sent the Khitan to let him see Yelu Abaoji's ambition to annex the Bohai Sea.

Over the years, from being a nobody to becoming the biggest powerful minister in the Bohai Kingdom, he first faced the open guns and arrows of his own brothers, the struggle for power and profit of the noble courtiers, and the suspicion and constraints of the great writers. And in this dying country, all he seeks is to let the Bohai Sea survive

I have been sleeping all night, exhausted myself, and I wanted to give up countless times, but I survived, and I was not enough for outsiders. Even so, when he faced the 200,000 Khitan army in Fuzhou, his confidence was still crushed, and even almost collapsed; The Battle of the Bohai Sea has continued to this day, and he has been attacked by political enemies in the court, and it has been difficult for him to move forward, and the great writer has thought about deposing him more than once, so to speak, this great battle that has no end in sight yesterday, if it lasts another month or two, without Yelu Abaoji defeating him, he will first be defeated by the political enemies of Bohai.

However, today, Yelu Abaoji has withdrawn from the army, and he led the Bohai State to victory, and successfully made the Bohai Kingdom survive for many years, and it was finally not in vain.

Da Ming'an will not forget how he got to where he is today, from the beginning when Mo Li accompanied him into the Bohai Sea to help him ascend to the court for the first time, to now Li Congjing led tens of thousands of Youzhou troops into the Bohai Sea and fought the Khitan army head-on - if it weren't for this, he would have died many times.

Startled from the grass, wiped away the tears, Da Ming'an jumped on the war horse, lifted the reins of the horse, "Go, go see General Li!" ”

When he arrived in Zhengzhou City, he met Li Siping, Daming Xing and a group of Bohai officials who greeted him, and Daming An came to see Li Congjing non-stop, and arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army in the Hundred Battles Army.

Li Congjing didn't rush to help Da Ming'an, he accepted the other party's gift calmly, whether it was as the suzerain's general, or for Lu Long's dedication, he took this gift for granted.

Straighten up, this prince who has worked hard and gone through hardships to finally seek the country of Bohai is majestic at this moment, "The country of Bohai is about to die, and the family of the big clan is about to die, because of the generals and kings, I have saved millions of people in Bohai from being slaves of the country, the general is above, please accept my Bohai people again!" ”

This worship, Li Siping, Daming Xing and others behind Daming An all obeyed.

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, first Da Ming An, Li Siping, Da Ming Xing, then accompanied by Bohai officials, and finally Bohai soldiers, knelt down one after another, from one person to ten, from ten to hundred, hula worship fell down.

The breeze stirred Li Congjing's robe, and the spectacular scene in front of him made him feel like a tide of water, and tens of millions of people willingly surrendered and worshipped, which was a respect for his past difficulties and a belief in his outstanding talents. The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, this spring everything begins to recover, today the sky is cloudless and the sun is shining, and the air is fresh and refreshing. Li Congjing knew in his heart that no matter how the land of the Central Plains was full of smoke, at least here, he had conquered the military and civilians in this prosperous country in the east of the sea.

Meng Songbai, who stepped forward and held a knife to guard Li Congjing's side, held his head high and was proud at this moment. He saw countless Youzhou soldiers in the camp stopping next to the Bohai officials and soldiers who had fallen down in a row, and everyone was in good spirits, but their expressions were solemn and unmoving, and they didn't seem to be surprised by the glory in front of them, and all of them looked like generals of the Heavenly Empire.

"These bunnies, they're all fucking generals!" Meng Songbai scolded in his heart, but there was a smile on his face that couldn't stop rippling. He couldn't help but look at Li Congjing, but saw that the other party was standing with his hands in his hands, and under the backdrop of thousands of bows to the Bohai officials, his indescribable demeanor was outstanding. Meng Songbai couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: A person like a military commander was born to be worshipped, right?

In the west of the city, in the Khitan camp, two young men, one fat and one thin, dressed in the green robes of the Tang Dynasty, were standing together, smirking at the mountains of materials piled up in front of them, as if saliva was flowing down the corners of their mouths.

Among them, the short and fat scribe wiped the corners of his mouth, and his straight eyes seemed to be hooked away, "Xie fishing rod, these armor and equipment are all ours, right?" ”

The tall and thin scribe next to him nodded mechanically and said dumbfoundedly: "It's all ours, it's all ours!" ”

The fat man took a breath, and his bulging belly was actually deflated by him, "Then these grains, wine and meat are also ours, right?" ”

Xie Yuwan had long forgotten to think, "It's all ours, it's all ours!" ”

The fat man smiled so much that his facial features became a blooming trumpet flower, and he raised his feet and walked towards the hill in front of him step by step, "The gold and silver treasures are also ours, right?" It's all ours, haha, it's all ours, it's ours! ”

Xie Yuwan shook his head and moved over, his eyes full of golden light, "It's all ours, everything in this camp is ours"

Meng Ping walked in from outside the camp, and after a few steps, he saw two civil officials, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, who were losing their souls, rushing towards the mountains of materials, the thin man kept stuffing the saber into his arms, and dropped while stuffing, while the fat man threw himself on the grain cart, picked up the grain and sprinkled it into the air, and raised his face to let the grain fall on his face, his face was intoxicated, and his mouth kept laughing.

This scene made Meng Ping laugh dumbly, he recognized these two people, they were one of the twenty-four civilian officials of the General Staff Office, and in addition to the military counselor, they were also in charge of the army's baggage, the tall and thin ones were called Xie Yugan, and the short and fat ones were called Zhu Xuan.

Kicking on Xie Yugan's buttocks, who kept stuffing the saber into his arms, Meng Ping scolded with a smile: "What are you two daydreaming about here?" Look at your appearance, live out of two rich people who got rich overnight! ”

Xie Yugan, who fell a dog and ate shit, just scolded the damn who dared to kick Lao Tzu's ass, and before getting up from the ground, he picked up the scattered sabers and held them in his arms, and when he looked back at Meng Ping, he was startled, "General Meng!" ”

The saber was held in Xie Yugan's arms without rules, and the handle of the knife was still against his nostrils, Meng Ping couldn't cry or laugh, "Put the knife down and hold it in your arms, the things in the Khitan company camp for more than ten miles are yours, and others can't take them away." ”

Xie Yugan put down the saber with a reluctant expression, which made people suspect that he was letting go of his mother-in-law. Seeing that Zhu Xuan was still lying on his back in the grain truck, looking at the sky while smirking and drooling, he hurriedly kicked him, rubbed his hands and said to Meng Ping with an embarrassed smile: "General Meng, there are so many things in this Khitan camp, you don't know, the army is fighting in the Bohai Sea, and the material consumption is miserable, after the statistics are made, I don't dare to look at it, and I will have a convulsion once I see it." You just said that everything in this Khitan camp is ours, is this true? When he said the last sentence, his eyes couldn't help but glow.

"Can I still lie to you?" Meng Ping sat down on the baggage cart on the side, "The Khitan army retreats quickly, and it has to return to the West Building with a light car, and it is normal that the baggage cannot be taken away, and there are many abandoned baggage in other camps that have been burned." Let's help the Bohai Navy fight, the spoils are naturally ours, not only that, but the Khitan army that will drive away Changling Mansion and Fuyu Mansion, as long as our Youzhou Army is there, all the materials will also belong to us - this is what the military commander agreed with Daming'an before the war. ”

Zhu Xuan's round body had just rolled down from the grain cart, and when he heard the news, he was startled, and his protruding belly swayed in several large circles, and even the two fat balls on his chest were trembling, and he didn't care about being rude above, and hurriedly asked: "The Khitan army in Changling and Buyeo must be plundering all directions these days, and the accumulated wealth is immeasurable, and the goods in the treasury of various places must have been confiscated by the Khitan army, as long as we see these things, they are all ours?" General Meng, you don't have much to read, don't lie to me! ”

"Not only that, my Youzhou army helped the Bohai Expedition this time, if it can win and let the Bohai Sea survive, after the war, the Bohai State will have to allocate food according to the number of soldiers I went out to fight, based on daily grain consumption. In addition, there is also the loss of armor, medicine, and ordnance, how much our army loses, and the Bohai State must also supply the recuperation expenses and settling-in expenses for the casualties of the soldiers, and the Bohai State must also pay for it, of course, the Youzhou army will help the Bohai Sea to fight, and the Bohai State itself will also give money and food" Meng Ping Lao Shen is saying, "The military commander never does loss-making business, you know this, the army only entered the Bohai Sea in the most difficult stage of the Fuyu war, but they are all talking to the Bohai State about these conditions"

Zhu Xuan's fat body shook like a tumbler, and he was speechless in shock, and then he was overjoyed, his facial features laughed together, and he suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Oh no, I have already seen Da Ming'an go to the big tent of the Chinese army, and I can't say that I am verifying the battle damage with the military marshal at this time, calculating the money and food, no, I have to hurry up and hand over the booklet of statistical losses to the military marshal!" General Meng, the little one retired first! ”

As soon as he pulled Xie Yugan over, he walked out of the camp, and halfway Xie Yugan bent down and put Zhu Xuan's head together, I don't know what he was doing, Meng Ping vaguely heard Zhu Xuan's voice, "Can you alter that booklet?" No? If you don't count the loss of the Anbei battalion on the top, this has to be counted on the head of the Bohai State, no, when we set out to Yannan, the account should be counted on the head of the Bohai State."

Meng Ping was already stunned when he heard this, and the appearance of the two of them as a traitorous profiteer made him shudder.
