The traces of the battle the night before were still as fresh as new, it was just an abandoned fortress, and it was still here either the homeless people or the officers and soldiers, of course, it was impossible to have the leisure to tidy up, but the generals shouted at the homeless people to throw the headless corpses outside the city, and the soldiers dug a huge pit outside the city. Almost everywhere you can see mottled splashes, blackened and dried blood.

Compared with the decayed and dilapidated houses on the periphery, the courtyard houses in the center of the city were in much better condition, but unfortunately they were first tossed around by bandits and barbarians, and then suffered a lot of damage in the battle last night, and now they are only better than those dilapidated houses and courtyards. The Ming army directly set up tents in the huge colonel in the city, and at this time, no matter how unwilling they were, the soldiers of the Xiangzi battalion and the Xianzi battalion had to huddle together and barely stay.

The Xianzi battalion called by Bai Sa went down with a drum, but within ten hours, the homeless people inside felt like they had passed several lifetimes, first of all, the fierce and vicious bandits were coerced here, and the property and children were not guaranteed, but they were greedy for a little way to live, and they struggled hard, but they didn't want to have a bold official army, so they rushed in in a daze, and the bandit barbarian who looked invincible was a paper paste, vulnerable, and broke the city like this!

According to the behavior of the officials and soldiers who are well known to the homeless people, many old people have sighed secretly, and took out the gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques that they had worked so hard to hide, and gave them up when the officials and soldiers were blackmailing, so as to allow them to return to their hometowns, but unexpectedly, this group of officers and soldiers was an odd number, and it was not considered harmonious, but they did not have the anger of ordinary officers and soldiers, and they did not pay attention to the homeless people, and rested on their own - the more daring ones went to beg for food, and the other party even threw out a few dry cakes - and then the whole army got up and hurriedly set off, and quietly inquired, It turned out that I went to the grandfather of the king in Xiaopingshan!

The homeless people were shocked, and when they saw the Xianzi Battalion team leave, leaving only a hundred or so people to stay and guard, there were suddenly signs that the bullet could not be suppressed! But less than half an hour later, another large group of officers and soldiers arrived, and the prisoners who had made up their minds before immediately honestly silenced, lest they would obstruct the eyes of the officers and soldiers and give their lives in vain!

The White Scatter Institute has been deserted for a long time, and the originally flat and wide school military field is now overgrown with weeds and rocks. The Ming army reluctantly cleared the stones, and then set up camp, naturally comfortable, don't even think about it, but barely have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Now it was just after the afternoon, and the soldiers who had worked hard all night naturally went to sleep and rested, but the officers of the two battalion heads still had to gather together to discuss it.

Hou Yonggui's face was cloudy and uncertain as he looked at the Xianzi battalion officer sitting opposite - the other party's young face did not hide his tiredness, but his waist was as straight as ever, his hands were pressed on his knees, his expression was calm, and the armor on his body still had mottled and blackened bloodstains, and he only smiled politely at Hou Yonggui when he looked at him unkindly.

"Mr. Li Qian, for such a big thing as the attack on Xiaopingshan, it is better for the brothers of the Tongxiang Battalion to speak well." Hou Yonggui reluctantly pressed the anxious breath in his chest, and spoke kindly, but unfortunately he was used to walking sideways, but his words were not so good: "You are a thousand-number-oh, I'm afraid it's still a little worse-battalion head, you dare to fight Bai Sa alone, and you still touch the thief's nest, we are military generals, so we have to think about the lives of our brothers, and we still need to be cautious in doing things." ”

Li Yongzhong smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Thank you Mr. Hou Qian for thinking about Xianzi Camp." At that time, I wanted to contact you, but unfortunately the military situation was like fire, and at that time, I really didn't dare to delay for a moment and a half. His expression was really sincere, and he wished that he had deceived his own people, not to mention the uninformed people, such as Hou Yonggui and a few officers behind him, could not help but think in their hearts: "Indeed, how many people are there in the Xianzi camp?" Didn't you catch the bandits off guard, where could you get this big victory? ”

Thinking like this, listening to Li Yongzhong's words is even more pleasant: "Bai Sa looked at the city and Chi Gu, but Hou Qian also saw it, there are just some homeless people who have been coerced here by bandits, even if there are some barbarians in it, but how many can there be?" What's more, the displaced people were forced to leave their homeland because of the war, and their hearts were still towards the court and the official army. ”

This is really good, Hou Yonggui's face couldn't help but get a little better, Li Yongzhong didn't see the eyebrows of the people in the Xiangzi camp opposite, he smiled, and continued: "But the battle of Xiaopingshan is really dangerous, let's set fire to it at night, and then the big guys will kill it together, but the thieves are really fierce, and the sky-high fire made them almost kill a bloody way!" It's to tell the brothers to desperately block back! Otherwise, let them escape, and scatter in this mountain, it will be a great disaster! ”

Even if the soldiers of the Xiangzi Battalion have never dealt with the Xianzi Battalion, they have to admit that the credit of the Xianzi Battalion this time is really in exchange for their lives! The soldiers and generals of the Xiangzi battalion all saw how the Xianzi battalion came back - it was really full of wounded soldiers and countless dead! Many people were ragged and bloodstained, their faces and hands were blackened, and they were lying on their backs on the cart, not knowing whether they were alive or dead! And the captives brought back staggered, their skin was opened, and some people called the fire to burn their faces, red, red, black and black, and they looked very terrible!

Hou Yonggui coughed, and avoided Li Yongzhong's gaze uncomfortably-although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes--Hou Yonggui had been in the army for more than ten years, and naturally knew what the other party meant: Bai Sasuo's military merits can be divided, but his hand should not be stretched out to the battle of Xiaopingshan! Otherwise, it is not only Li Yongzhong, but the whole camp of the Xianzi Battalion will look for him desperately!

But asking Hou Yonggui to stop just can't. Hou Liangzhu appreciates him, is it just because Hou Yonggui is his nephew? Is it really because the two people look alike? It cannot be denied that these two factors are present, but the most important thing is that Hou Yonggui is indeed one of the few young generals in the Sichuan army who dares to fight tough battles recently! Otherwise, why would he have been promoted to President Qian at the age of less than thirty!? It has long been rumored that Hou Yonggui's dispatch has always been just an officer, but because Hou Liangzhu wants to sharpen his temperament more, otherwise he would have let him lead a battalion alone!

Hou Yonggui has always been very proud of his bravery and good fighting, but since Li Yongzhong entered the camp, he has had some unexplained fears. Originally, he didn't take this person seriously, but he was just a businessman, and he was young, even if it was Chen Xianda's son-in-law? Chen Xianda's own family is just a thousand households!

But soon Li Yongzhong became a blockbuster, and after entering the camp, all kinds of methods were amazing, and even Hou Liangzhu sent people to investigate, praised it a few times, and then made a blockbuster in the big reading, and then it was the battle of Aluomi - Hou Yonggui regretted it every time he thought about it! At the beginning, he shouldn't have taken advantage of that, otherwise he should have his name Hou Yonggui on the top of his military achievements!

This time, the leaders of the two battalions were ordered to fight, and they called the Xianzi Battalion and Li Yongzhong to take shit luck and pick up a lot of wealth! Li Yongzhong's words were extraordinary, and he wanted to gag him with these chaotic people in Baisasuo, but he misunderstood him Hou Yonggui! Compared to those genuine bandits in Xiaopingshan, what are these?! It's just some leftovers and rotten rice, and I want to send people away!

Therefore, after listening to Li Yongzhong's words, Hou Yonggui laughed twice, glanced at Li Yongzhong with pity, and slowly played an official tone: "Li Qian is right, the brothers of the Xianzi Battalion in this battle are really hard. However, the two battalion leaders came out together, and although there was some misunderstanding between the soldiers on the road, it was all a trivial matter. Everyone always says that it is beautiful or not, the hometown water, whether it is close or not, and the hometown people. Li Qian always eats a lot of food, but don't forget to leave a mouthful of soup for the brothers. ”

"It is the business of the officials to reward their merits and deeds, all we can do is to fight well and bring our brothers back from the battlefield alive." Li Yongzhong said quietly: "The so-called sharing meat and drinking soup is just talking, Shangguan doesn't speak, can we still make our own decisions?" In addition, there are a lot of things after the war, and now the younger brother still has a big mess in his hands. After that, he stood up by himself, raised his hand at Hou Yonggui and saluted, without looking at the other party's dark face, and walked away with people without looking back.

When the gang of people in the Xianzi camp walked away with their boots, a military general beside Hou Yonggui spat on the ground with hatred, and scolded in a low voice: "Look at his proud look!" But opportunistically took a small amount of credit, which is the tail to the sky! He raised his head and said angrily to Hou Yonggui: "Mr. Qian, we don't have to say more to him, just go back and say more in front of the military gate!" ”

He said this explicitly, but the officers of the Xiangzi battalion looked like they should be. It's just that Hou Yonggui is different from usual. His face was ugly, and he wrinkled his brows and scolded the soldier who spoke: "What kind of person are you that you dare to criticize Shangguan!?" I can tolerate you, but military law can't tolerate you! But now the war is critical, and put the board on the books! After scolding him for a while, he said to the officers: "I know what you think!" But now it's different, and one by one I have to put my heart right! Tell the brothers below to stretch my skin, if something goes wrong, you don't have to go to Chishui, find a place to break it yourself! ”

After his righteous and stern words, many officers of the Xiangzi Battalion looked sluggish and disbelieving. However, when Hou Yonggui left with his own soldiers, a few brains turned faster and more quickly to taste the meaning of Hou Yonggui's words, and said with a laugh in his heart, thinking that he had really changed his temperament, but it turned out to be just acting!

The Xiangzi battalion is not talking about it anymore, the officers of the Xianzi battalion are indeed busy. Counting materials, seizures, casualties, and so on made many old and rough officers who only knew some rough words scratch their scalps. These things were first handled by a few copywriters in the battalion, but this time, due to the unclear situation, in order to reduce the drag, Li Yongzhong left the civilian officers in the battalion with the wounded soldiers in the army. Now it is up to the officers themselves to take responsibility.

These desk matters were not very difficult for Team D. Since Xiaobing, everyone has been reading and learning words, and because of the Li family's merchant background, he also attaches great importance to arithmetic. When Team D sorted out all the affairs neatly, many team officers were still struggling with the numbers with their commanders.

In addition to these, the two battalions had the problem of prisoners and displaced people to solve. It is better to say that the captives have their own rules in the army, but the exiles make the officers frown--the Xiangzi battalion is left alone, but let them fend for themselves--this is also the practice in the late Ming Dynasty and even in the next few hundred years--but Li Yongzhong issued an order for the exiles to return to Chishui with the officials and soldiers.

At this order, not only the officials and soldiers were dumbfounded, but even the displaced people themselves did not dare to believe it, and when they asked clearly, it was not a lie, and many people immediately regarded the officials and soldiers as the parents of the people, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to chant the Buddha. The officers of the two battalions were dumbfounded, and the people on the other side of the Xiangzi battalion sneered again and again, and they didn't bother to pay attention to these stunned young people, so they went to find Hou Yonggui to complain; However, the officer on the side of the Xianzi battalion hesitated for a long time, but still went to ask Li Yongzhong worriedly: "Mr. Qian, there are more than a few hundred people in this homeless person!" With the captives, there are more than a thousand people! Let's add less than two thousand pieces to the Xiangzi Battalion, what should we do if something happens along the way? ”

When he went, Li Yongzhong was eating, he was so hungry that he drank two bowls of vegetable porridge in one go, and when the third bowl slowed down, he asked his own soldiers to send him some side dishes to accompany the meal, and after listening to the officer's words, he took the bowl and said to him: "This place is only a few dozen miles away from Chishui, and the empty body with faster feet can fight back and forth during the day!" Even if there are many of us, we only need to walk for two days! How many real bandits can there be? Take the rope together, look at the head and tail, and there will be no mistakes! ”

"Those homeless people, if you don't take them away and stay here, there will only be one death left and right! Besides, wouldn't it be good if the barbarians captured them and found out our truth? Li Yongzhong put a piece of kohlrabi in his mouth and chewed it for a while, then swallowed it and said: "We are all Han Chinese, and it is not easy for them to be displaced, if you can help, just help." ”

The officer left in a daze, but Li Yongzhong felt that he had not told half a lie. He came from a later generation, and despite all the unhappiness of that era, no one dared to abandon the people, dare to throw them to death. He returned to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of unhabits at the beginning gradually became daily routines, but there was only one - no matter what, he could not take the tragedies of the late Ming Dynasty for granted, let alone say that he was numb.

Since the end of Wanli, natural and man-made disasters have never really left this land. Heroes and heroes from all walks of life fought repeatedly, and the lives of the small people were nothing but dust. In the southwest of Lu'an, there are hundreds of thousands of dead in Guiyang alone! Today, much of the southwest is still a scorched earth forest. Li Yongzhong thinks that he is not a good person, but he wants to watch those people who are in rags, whose wives are separated, who are short and thin, die-

He still has a conscience in the end. (To be continued.) )
