This battle was not without tragedy, and there were originally more than 30,000 thieves, but now only 15,000 people are still in the camp. In addition to the about 5,000 thieves taken away by Qu Shuai Liu Min, the other more than 10,000 people were either killed in battle or missing. There are five or six thousand bodies that have been clearly found!

And as the attacking side, the Wen Chou army also lost more than 2,000 people! Among them, there are more than 1,000 strong people in Gaoyi County, more than 700 strong people in Shahe Township, more than 300 dead soldiers in Taolin, and more than 200 soldiers in Gaoyi County! Five hundred others were seriously wounded! Minor injuries are not counted.

Nearly half a month of military use is over. Everyone was fortunate to be triumphant.

The first troops to stay were in charge of Tie Qian.

At this time, Wen Chou and Gaoyi County Lieutenant led 7,000 men and horses, neatly lined up at the gate of the camp, waiting to return to their hometown.

Wen Chou stood in front of the formation, held the hand of Tie Qian who came to see him off with both hands, and said: "In this way, in the past ten years, you will have to bother Tie Qian, brother, this huge camp, 15,000 captives will have to worry a lot!" ”

"Then what's the trouble or not, Wen Jun can rest assured that I will wait for two thousand warriors to take care of these captives according to what Wen Jun said yesterday." Tie Qian said excitedly.

"Since Brother Tie Qian said so, I will rest assured, and please rest assured Brother Tie Qian, this New Year, the contemptible people will definitely let you return home!" Wen Chou promised.

"Then I'll wait on the village for Wen Jun's good news." Tie Qian said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Tie Qian doesn't have to be sent far, I'll wait for this to start!" Wen Chou put down Tie Qian's hand and said. Then turn around and board the horse!

Then the whole army marched out and returned to the counties and villages, and it was no problem. Tie Qian also respected Wen Chou's words, but he came to the camp and watched Wen Chou's army go away from a distance, not in the sky, so he ordered one or two people guarding the village, and presided over the overall situation in the camp.

When Wen Chou and the others came to Taolinsai, Liu Zhong, who presided over the overall situation on Taolinsai, was already eager to see through. In the past few days, he has been walking on thin ice to sort out the affairs of Taolinsai and Shahe Township, and he has also paid close attention to all the winds and grasses within a radius of fifty miles nearby, for fear that if he is not careful, he will break the thriving status quo that Wen Chou has finally forged.

Fortunately, in the past few days since Wen Chou left the army, there has not been any major incident in the township. Now that Wen Chou has returned, then he, the person in charge of the temporary affairs, should also be able to rest for a while.

And at this time, it is already the thirteenth day of the lunar month! The New Year is only seventeen or eighteen days away. The township has its own festive atmosphere. And the news that the Wen Chou army successfully exterminated the thieves and occupied the thieves' lair had spread to the township as early as two days ago. Naturally, the villagers were even more pleased. How can they not be happy that the thieves who have been causing trouble in the neighborhood for three or four years have finally been exterminated?

Thousands of people spontaneously came to welcome Wen Chou and the others back to their hometowns. The lanterns are colorful, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is not lively.

Wen Chou didn't want to go against the good intentions of the leaders, so the army participated in the celebration, and gave Sergeant Taolinsai an afternoon off! so that they can have a good time with the members of the family. However, it is clear that tomorrow will be the time to assemble! Because there is still a funeral ceremony for the fallen to be handled!

In this way, the entire Shahe Township is in a state of celebration, although some of the families who died in the battle are also comforted by the neighbors and slowly recover. Thinking about the life without the harassment of thieves in the future, I can't help but look forward to it.

Besides, according to Wen Chou's consistent style, these homes of the dead must also be treated together with the homes of the soldiers who died in battle. In this era when human life is as cheap as a dog, it is also precious. People can't be resurrected after death, and besides, they originally volunteered to go to help the fist, in order to give their children and grandchildren a slightly more stable environment. There is nothing to hold grudges about.

The next day, the snow fell, as if to make a final gift for these fallen heroes. It is also good to pave a layer of purity for them on the way to the next life.

The funeral of nearly 1,000 people can be said to be the most grand and grandest funeral in Shahe Township in decades! Nearly 10,000 strong people in the whole township went out to dig the tombs, and representatives of major forces came to mourn, not only Shahe Township and Taolinsai, but also officials from Pingjian County, Zhangjia of Jianpu Township, Gaoyi County Lieutenant, etc.! It's not grand!

The funeral ceremony lasted for nearly a day in the heavy snow, and it was not finished until nightfall. These heroes are the real 'glory home'.

The death knell has sounded, and this sad page has finally been revealed. The next thing is to prepare for the New Year.

After nearly a year of tossing, Shahe Township was a little tired. Although today's Shahe Township is no longer the previous Shahe Township.

Not only has the population increased several times, from 5,000 to more than 22,000; Even the economic wealth of the aborigines has also increased several times, and the original displaced people now have some spare money in their hands; Thousands of houses were built, and several pavilions were built; There are also caravans for the benefit of the people, the opening of libraries, and the enrollment of children; Even the fertile land on which the villagers and Qiantou relied for their survival has also increased by several percent; There are also ditches that run through the fields to provide water, so that the grain harvest is guaranteed; And so it is impossible to count. The current Shahe Township has undergone earth-shaking changes.

These changes are in the eyes of the villagers and happy in their hearts. And this pile, one by one, all of them are implicated in the same name--- Wen Chou!

It was Wen Chou's appearance that enabled them to get rid of the danger of being pressed by the Montenegrin thief Kou more than 10,000 army; It was also Wen Chou who led them to accept the displaced people, dig ditches, and reclaim wasteland; It was even more Wen Chou who asked for orders to rebuild the Taolin Sai Military Department, and since then he no longer has to worry about the incursion of thieves and robbers, and since then he has left a deep imprint in their hearts, I am afraid that it will not fade and disappear without more than ten years of precipitation and washing.

The New Year is approaching, and people are starting to prepare for some New Year's goods.

Not to mention the original Shahe villagers who already have a lot of wealth now, even those displaced people from Xin'an have also gone to the township and Ting markets to buy some chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Only those widows, widows and children who have no male to create wealth in the family can cling to the little money in their hands, screening items, and thinking about the future.

However, Wen Chou, as the parent of a township, naturally would not let this situation go unpunished, and began the journey of petitioners to leave money. Comfort the widows and orphans, and comfort the youngsters.

Although there may not be too much money left, there are still more than seven or eight hundred or thousand, which can at least enable these families to survive this cold winter in peace and tranquility. More importantly, Wen Chou's intention warmed the hearts of the leaders of Shahe Township. This is an attitude, an attitude for the people.

Shahe Township is not big, but it is not small, even if there are 100 widows and orphans. Wen Chou visited them one by one, and asked for warmth, which was a project for several days. During this period, Dong Jiang was sent to take over the affairs of Tie Qian's thief camp, and this time, Dong Jiang was going to spend the New Year in the camp, so Wen Chou faced Dong Jiang with a lot of guilt, but Dong Jiang didn't think so, and was even more dedicated to Wen Chou.

Time rolls by, and it's Chinese New Year's Eve. Wen Chou and Yan Liang also returned home together to celebrate the reunion and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Yan's mother was overjoyed at home. Seeing the two sturdy, mighty and heroic young men standing in front of him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in a peaceful atmosphere. Bursts of "crackling" sounds continued to enter the ears of Wen Chou. It's the sound of firecrackers.

Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month of the first month of the new year have been the custom since spring and autumn to expel ghosts and ghosts. In fact, it is also a lively picture.

Of course, the Chinese New Year is not just about lighting firecrackers and eating reunion dinners. It is also necessary to hang peach charms on the door of the courtyard of the house, which is often the initiative of the family. The so-called peach charm is a wooden board made of peach wood, more than an inch wide, seven or eight inches long, with two pieces, one of which reads: Shen Yan; One reads: Yu Lei. This is the name of the two ancient Hercules, who can catch ghosts and subdue demons, and they are hung on both sides of the gate. ---This is the door god of later generations and the predecessor of the Spring Festival couplets!

In addition, there will be sacrifices within the clan at the beginning of tomorrow's New Year. If you really have a half-official position, you have to go to Shangguan to have a 'Zhengdan greeting', even if you really don't go, you must also have a 'famous thorn' to send it to show your respectful and duty-conscious heart.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, it was a sunny day, and there was a light breeze.

Wen Chou got up early in the morning, finished grooming, put on the crown belt and official robe, took off the sword that was not commonly used, hung it diagonally on his waist, and reflected it in front of the bronze mirror on the wall. Although he was going to the county to worship the county gentleman, the old mother who was close in front of him was the first to need to congratulate! The two Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, so it was natural to put the word 'filial piety' in the first place.

Naturally, there is also Yan Liang, who is dressed in new clothes and majestic in style. Today's Wen Chou and Yan Liang are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but their bodies have grown up, and they are all nearly eight feet tall and tall. I have to say that the genes they received are good, and they are still fortunate to be in a home without food and clothing.

I heard that Wen Chou was going to the county to worship the county king, so Yan Liang naturally didn't have to accompany him, just accompany his mother at home. Wen Chou led the horses out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the inner door.

This year, under the leadership of the new Youzhi Wenchou, Shahe Township has a good year. The whole Shahe Township is in a peaceful and festive atmosphere. And Wen Chou's Wen clan is naturally no exception.

Walking all the way to the inside and out, passing by, from time to time, there were clansmen hanging peach charms outside the door to greet him. The fox asked: "San Lang, you are neatly dressed, are you going to the Township Zhongguan Temple?" "But when he saw Wen Chou dressed in an official robe, he mistakenly thought that he was going to the official temple to deal with affairs?

"No, it's a good day today, I want to go to the county to hand over a famous thorn to the county gentleman." Wen Chou replied with a smile.

"Oh, that's it, then you have to hurry, in two or three hours it will be the clan sacrifice, it's too late!" The man suddenly reminded him.

"Don't worry, there are fast horses, and it won't take an hour to go back and forth to the county!" Wen Chou laughed. Originally, he could not have gone to Hebai County, firstly, he still had a position as the captain of Taolin, and secondly, he was far away from the county seat. However, in order not to make outsiders gossip, Wen Chou still decided to make this trip, after all, it didn't take much effort.
