Until dawn, the heavy snow stopped, and the entire Pei County was already covered with a thick layer of snow. The eaves, the branches, the walls, and the banks of the moats were covered with snow. By the morning, the soldiers and civilians of Pei County were already standing in the wind, however, it didn't take long for the Qin army to retreat after all. The cavalry of Pei County stepped on the snow and reported that the Qin army camp was empty, and continued to explore, only to find that the Qin army had left the boundary of Pei County.

Hearing the news of the Qin army's retreat, the entire Pei County shouted: "The Red Emperor should be prosperous, and Pei County should be prosperous!"

Liu Yuan stood on top of the city tower, and many days of sorrow and fatigue were finally swept away at this moment. Pei County won, although it was a miserable victory, but Liu Yuan knew that Pei County had completely gotten rid of Surabaya County, and after this conquest, even if the county guard wanted to attack again, it would be impossible without ten thousand preparations.

"Cao Shen, continue to send cavalry to patrol all parts of the county. In addition, except for the necessary garrison soldiers, the rest of the men went into the camp to rest. The soldiers were tired of this battle, and at noon they ordered someone to cook a stove and barbecue meat, and I wanted to reward the soldiers and the people. Liu Yuan couldn't hide his joy and commanded.

"No! Participate in this order. Cao Shen was also pleased to receive the order, and the defeat of the Qin army also made him breathe a sigh of relief, if it continued, it was difficult to say whether Pei County could keep it. Fortunately, the heavy snow hit, and Cao Shen said happily in his heart.

The news of the retreat of the Qin army has spread all over Pei County, and the ordinary people have cried loudly when they hear it. Many people took to the streets, they took the initiative to clear the snow to clear a passage for the soldiers and civilians who participated in the battle, and the women boiled hot water for the soldiers defending the city to ward off the cold. However, more people still went to the county government under the leadership of the three elders, and they were convinced of Liu Yuannai's identity as the son of the Red Emperor. The three elders came here, in addition to congratulating them, but also to ask for their lives.

When he arrived at the county office, Liu Yuan had also returned from the city tower, and after the three elders met, he said respectfully: "Meet the Red Emperor!"

"Hehe, the third elder doesn't have to be polite." Liu Yuan smiled and said: "You can call me Duke Pei, and the Red Emperor doesn't need to worry about words!"

"Since Pei Gong said so, we will also be ordered." The third elder replied in a deep voice, "The Qin army is defeated and retreated, Pei County is prosperous, I don't know what arrangements Pei Gong has, I will lead the people of Pei County to wait for the dispatch!" ”

Liu Yuan said with a little contemplation: "Without the support of the people in this battle, Peixian may have been conquered long ago. The merits of the people of Pei County will be remembered by Yuan. Now that the war has passed, Pei County is in ruins, and we still need to work together to revitalize Pei County. After a pause, he ordered: "This battle tower has been damaged in many places, if it is possible, please ask the three elders to lead the people to help repair it."

"No! Dare to disobey orders? The three elders of Pei County immediately resigned and left.

After the three elders left, there were only a few Xiao He left in the lobby, Liu Yuan looked at Xiao He solemnly at this time, and he once again took the trouble to advise: "Xiao Xiancheng, all military merits will be counted as soon as possible." For those who die in battle, an additional reward of 500 will be given to their families. The wounded were rewarded with three hundred, and the rest were rewarded with a hundred dollars. This time to defend the city, our army suffered heavy casualties, hey, it makes me heartache too. ”

"The lord is kind!" Xiao He sighed, and he continued: "This time, our army suffered more than 1,400 casualties, and only less than 600 remained, and there were more than 300 casualties among ordinary people participating in the battle. ”

"Also, the people of the Sun and Zhao families have also been released, and this time the children of the two families have also suffered many casualties, and these two families are no longer a threat. At the same time, the land of the two families was also expropriated as a reward. Liu Yuan also fulfilled his promise, there are only a dozen strong men in the Sun and Zhao families, and he will naturally not be embarrassed by these old and young women and children. Moreover, after the confiscation of the land, the two families did not have the foundation for recovery, and they could only survive in Pei County, and they did not pose a threat to Liu Yuan.

Xiao He nodded in response, "Don't worry, the lord knows in his heart." ”

In the backyard of Lu Mansion, after Yu Ji heard the news of the retreat of the Qin army, the whole person was smiling, as beautiful as proud snow and cold plums, colorful. She couldn't help but have an impulse in her heart, wanting to go to the county government and perform another dance to cheer for Liu Yuan. However, Yu Ji also understands that her current identity is not suitable.

Within the county office, Lu Pheasant had already prepared lunch, and Qin Jun left Pei County, not only her, but even Liu's mother showed a long-lost smile. These days, Lu Pheasant and Liu's mother are worried day and night, and they have never rested peacefully, and they are deeply afraid that Liu Yuan will have an accident.

Seeing Liu Yuan sit down, Lu Pheasant gave him a bowl of rice porridge, she sandwiched a piece of barbecue, and said, "How about a taste of husband?" ”

Liu Yuan saw that Liu's mother and the two looked haggard, he sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Mother and Ejiao also have a taste." This period of time made the mother frightened, and the child felt guilty. ”

"Alright, let's eat it." Liu's mother also gave Liu Yuan a piece of meat, and she urged: "You, as Pei Gong, naturally you can't be distracted, the people of the whole city want you to guard, how can my mother blame you?" ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Liu Yuan said with a smile, "My mother also eats." ”

A family of three can finally have a rare meal comfortably. Of course, the Peijun camp was also very lively, Da Niu, a rough man, ate the whole wild boar leg alone, he drank a bowl of broth, and finally filled himself alone. The big cow laughed and roared: "I eat a lot, and my strength is great!" ”

This remark immediately caused laughter, and without the pressure of Qin Jun, Pei Jun also relaxed a lot. However, Liu Yuan was not allowed to drink, after all, the war had just ended, and while he was happy, the soldiers would inevitably drink too much, which was not what Liu Yuan wanted to see.

In the Lu Mansion, the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi also took advantage of the rest to return home, they had already heard that Lu Taigong was injured, but the war was stalemate, and the two never returned home to visit. Seeing Mrs. Lu lying on the bed, Lu Ze asked eagerly, "Dad, how is your injury?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, it's just some skin trauma." Lu Taigong waved his hand and explained.

Hearing this, Lu Ze and the others breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." ”

"In this battle, how are the two of you?" This is what Mrs. Lu cared about, he looked at his two sons and asked anxiously.

Lu Ze and the two looked at each other and smiled, obviously both had good military exploits. Without waiting for Lu Ze to speak, Lu Shizhi hurriedly replied: "Dad, the eldest brother has already killed a Qin army of five hundred masters last time. This time, the eldest brother defended the city repeatedly, and killed a total of 15 Qin soldiers, including three tun commanders and two hundred generals. As for the child, hehe, I am not as brave as the eldest brother, and I only killed ten people, and one of them will be one in a hundred. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu laughed heartily, and he praised and said: "Good, very good, such a military exploit, Ze'er will get the title." I heard that Xiahou Ying was seriously injured and fell into a coma, maybe Ze'er could get the military position of these two or five hundred lords in one fell swoop. ”
