Li Deming's subordinates only had six people left except for Gan Muduo, and two of them were injured and needed to recuperate - the rest died in the so-called hard-fought competition before, so except for ten people who were fixed to guard him every day, his range of movement was not too restricted.

So in the last few days, whenever possible, he has been walking around.

Then, of course, he saw a lot of things that he could hardly imagine. For example, the camp is well organized, there is nothing messy or filthy, and even everyone is dressed neatly, no one will walk around the camp drunk, everyone is very consciously busy, there is no whip and scolding, except for the soldiers who wander around the camp from time to time with a piece of linen with red letters on a white background wrapped around their arms......

Li Deming took a very serious look at these soldiers, the word on the white cloth they shared was the Chinese character "Xian", the battle robes and armor of these soldiers were also neat, all the metal objects on their bodies, including every piece of armor on the armor, were polished brightly, even if the black surface was also shining in the sun, not like his own subordinates - the leather armor and clothes on their bodies were usually stinky and dirty.

In addition, among this centaurs, there are also an incomprehensible number of women, most of whom are the faces of the grassland tribe, but their clothing and sitting behavior are similar to those military soldiers, and they are not pampered, and they don't want those women in their own tribe to be often untidy and unruly.

In Li Deming's eyes, all of this is unreasonable.

What especially puzzled Li Deming was that in his cognition, in this land, the Song army's clothing was the best, but it was not much different from the Dingyan army, not to mention the Khitans in the northeast. It seems that except for some bureaucrats of the Song people, only that kind of big businessmen will pay so much attention to it, even the generals who claim to have been inherited for thousands of years in the Song State do not have such manners.

Could it be that the Tang Dynasty in the past was like this?

Li Deming heard his father Li Jiqian talk about some past events, but he never had anything about such a military drill.

Luo Kaixian briefly introduced the purpose of this team to Li Deming, but Li Deming didn't believe that a migrating team could do it to this extent?

The tribes that migrate on the steppe are as many as the wild horses, wild asses, and yellow sheep that also migrate on the grassland, and like the migratory animals, the strong survive, and the old and weak die on the road......

But what about this centaur in front of you?

There are hundreds of thousands of large livestock such as cattle, horses, sheep, and camels, eating and drinking without worry, and the road is even more in a four-wheeled cart that he has never seen before, and there is a big ball floating in the air that he doesn't understand at all.

Everything presented to him was a little paradoxical, everything was alive, but different from the people he knew.

Please forgive Li Deming, although he is the leader of the party, he has not been able to break away from the shackles of the times. The Tuoba tribe was originally subordinate to Xianbei, he believed in shamanism, and in his heart, all this was like the legend of Tengger told by the great shaman, but it was also very similar to the heavenly kingdom told by those bald monks.

He can understand many things, but he doesn't understand why, many things he thinks don't matter, but there is a voice in his heart that warns him that it is just his own shallow knowledge.

A few days ago, he reluctantly agreed to cooperate with someone Luo, Li Deming felt that it was just an expedient measure, and the self-confidence of the clan leader and the stubbornness of the soldiers made it difficult for him to completely surrender to anyone. At that time, he thought that there was no difference between Luo and the Song people, but he wanted to play the feminine tricks of the literati.

But as time progressed, the more things Li Deming saw, the more questions accumulated in his heart, and the more confidence his original plan became.

This feeling of seeing everything in his eyes, but never being able to understand the root cause made Li Deming sleepless at night.

So in the early morning of the day when the team set off from the camp, Li Deming found Luo someone's head.

"General Luo, Li has something unclear, I don't know if the general can explain a thing or two?" Walking to the busy Lao Luo, Li Deming asked with his hands clasped into fists.

After explaining the things that came to mind temporarily, Lao Luo had time to respond to Li Deming, "What does General Li know?" You might as well talk about it, but Luo doesn't have much free, and General Li had better make a long story short. ”

"Why is your people so commanding unity? Even the people are so brave? Lao Luo's words sounded polite, and then there was a taste of impatience, and Li Deming asked straightforwardly as if he hadn't heard it.

In the face of such a problem, how can one or two sentences be clear? At this time, Lao Luo Ke didn't have so much time to explain, so he said succinctly: "Without him, like-minded, clear rules, orders, strong body, strong ambition, you can." ”

Lao Luo flipped through a lot of books in the Li family and the Cheng family in his spare time during this time, and was a little affected, and the simple style of speaking in a literary language is indeed the most concise and time-saving, as for whether Li Deming understands or not, Lao Luo doesn't care.

"Hmm......" Li Deming was really a little confused, he understood Lao Luo's words, but he didn't have a specific method, so he could only hum and remember it in his heart, and then asked: "After a certain soldier was captured, why was he willing to obey you?" And...... Reborn? ”

The corners of Lao Luo's mouth showed a noncommittal expression, and he said calmly: "The moment General Li led his troops to flee, those soldiers knew that you abandoned them, and a certain captured them, but did not treat them harshly, but instead sheltered them, fed and clothed them well, and just let them obey the military order and strive to return home as soon as possible...... Reborn, why not? ”

Oh, why not?

Li Deming left in a daze, and then asked himself. What Lao Luo said was very simple, especially the latter sentence was straightforward and straightforward, but the truth was there, and he knew that it would not work at all under his rule.

Because he himself inherited his father Li Jiqian's position because of the support and recommendation of the party nobles, and the high-level leaders of the Dingyan army in his hands were also party nobles, so the army was obviously divided into two parts, and the treatment between the party and other tribes, especially the Han people, was completely different.

If he wants to break it, he must first face the collective opposition of the party aristocracy. At that time, not to mention whether he can customize new strategies to improve the situation, his own position and even his life are difficult to guarantee.

Moreover, there are also many contradictions between the tribes within the party, and the coordination and unification of the wishes of these people is a laborious matter, and the time required is even more difficult to grasp, in addition, there are Han people in Zhao and Song Dynasty and Khitan people in Northern Liao in the east. The Khitans of Northern Liao are also jackals on the grassland, and they will definitely be ready to move when they smell blood!

The two heavy stones in the east are constantly squeezing, and although the Guiyi Army in the west and the Tubo people on the southern plateau are also ambitious, they are just worried about scabies, and being in this centaur is the real henchman.

Li Deming, who had a big head, allowed his subordinates to be busy at the urging of those "sleeve parties", saddled the horses, rolled up the soft fur that slept on, pulled up the trodges of the military tent, and packed everything together......

He himself stared at the black pressure of the hot air balloons soaring into the air, the black lacquer surface on it clearly shining with the brilliance of the morning sun, the metal horns in the front and back and left and right were crisp and loud, the wheels of the four-wheeled cart and the partial van had begun to roll one by one, and the rumbling sound even made the ground under his feet tremble and echo, how far could the sound of hundreds of thousands of large livestock and mounts running be transmitted?

According to the experience of the steppe cavalry, Li Deming estimated that it was at least thirty miles, but how long is this team at the moment?

The farthest huge hot air balloon was already out of view, and behind him and a few of his cronies, there were indistinguishable carts and people.

Carts rumble, horses' hooves trample on them, and dust and grass clippings even flutter in the sky in the breeze.

This kind of momentum made Li Deming sigh, and it was even stronger and more powerful than the momentum when he joined forces with the Turks and the Qarluqs.

If this team is controlled by me, it will definitely be able to dominate one side, Li Deming immediately cut off such thoughts, he is a general who leads the army, not a daydreamer.

It's just that, in the face of such an opponent, can you really turn the tables?

The craftsmen and civilians on the other side can compete with their own soldiers, so what can they turn the tables around? The hesitation in Li Deming's heart once again flooded his heart.

Maybe Luo is big-minded and can treat him as fairly as he says?

For the first time, Li Deming had the idea of surrendering.

……

The two big flags of the eastbound battalion, "Dongyi" and "Luo", were everywhere waving in the breeze, and all the soldiers rode on the backs of horses or camels, with tall postures, bright armor, and white and red paint grimaces on the hot air balloons on the top of the floating car for a bird's-eye view of the whole land...... Soon they will face their hometown thousands of miles away, and will they be able to accept them? What will be their fate?
