In the early hours of the morning, Lu Dalin's troops arrived at Qing Town, saw the bodies of ninety-nine heroes, and heard about the extremely tragic battle to capture the flag, even Lu Dalin, a general who is accustomed to life and death, still couldn't help but be moved, walked to Guan Shaolong on the stretcher, solemnly gave him a military salute, patted his chest, "Good job, brother!" ”

Guan Shaolong's face was pale, although the bleeding from the broken arm had long stopped, but the severe pain still made his face a little distorted, lying on the stretcher where a few spears were temporarily rooted, seeing Lu Dalin saluting him, he couldn't help but be excited and his face was crimson, "Thank you, General Lu!" ”

Li Qing looked at this man with a smile and said: "It's a good man, I have grown up with the majesty of the Dingzhou Army, Shaolong, first recuperate with peace of mind, and then come to my personal guard camp after the injury is healed, don't think that you can't be a soldier if you are missing an arm, you will be a great soldier in the future." ”

"Thank you, Dashuai!" Guan Shaolong was overjoyed, struggling to get up and salute Li Qing, Li Qing stretched out his hand and gently pressed his chest, and said softly: "Don't move, the most important thing now is to recuperate." ”

"The wind knows the strength of the grass, the board swings out of the heroes, I have these good sons and daughters in Dingzhou, how can I win!" Li Qing looked at several of his generals, and said arrogantly: "Today we have severely damaged the morale of the wolf running army, and we will annihilate them all on this vast grassland, so that this vast land will become our Dingzhou's horse grazing land, and our Dingzhou's back garden!" At that time, Fang is the take-off of our Dingzhou, where my war horse goes, where the military flag flies, who can stop my sharpness. ”

Lu Dalin, Lu Dabing, Jiang Kui and others looked excited, and said in unison: "Handsome and mighty!" ”

This is the first time Li Qing confided his heart in front of the heavy generals in the army, Dingzhou is just a place for him to accumulate strength, after stepping on the grassland, it is the place where he takes off, where the war horse goes, and where the military flag flies, it can be there, of course, it is the land of the Central Plains. As a military general under Li Qing, Li Qing's ambition is their brilliant future, how not to make people yearn for it.

The brigade returned to Shanglinli, the outpost that returned in advance had already transmitted the news of the victory back, when the army returned to Shanglinli City, the joy was thunderous, over the years, Dingzhou really rarely achieved such a big victory, and since Li Qing ruled Dingzhou, two big victories in a row, coupled with the early Fuyuan campaign, so that his prestige rose to the highest point for a while, when he saw Li Qing's handsome banner appear, the earth-shaking handsome sound resounded in the sky above Shanglinli City.

Li Qing smiled, rode on a horse, and slowly walked into the gate of Shanglin City, while Lu Dalin and the others deliberately lagged behind by more than ten steps, making Li Qing in front of him more prominent and conspicuous.

Although the battle was a great victory, but in order to prevent the retaliation of Haningqi of the Qingbu, Shanglin still did not lift the vigilance, Li Qing also took the personal guard battalion and the whirlwind battalion to stay in Shanglin, until three days later, the spies and the intelligence personnel of the Investigation and Statistics Department determined at the same time that the Qingbu had retreated, and the Red Department was obviously afraid of Dingzhou to launch another attack, and at the same time retreated, and the battle line of the grassland barbarians against Dingzhou once again shrank into the grassland. And Hu He also led the army back, Qingbu suffered a major blow, his mission here is completely meaningless, the current Qingbu is no longer able to compete with Baibu, in the integration of Bayar, it is no longer able to pose a threat to Bayar, from one asphalt, it is a good thing, but this matter is done by Li Qing, and it is completely different from himself.

Hu He was very tired in his heart, but he raised twelve points of vigilance, saw the combat effectiveness of Li Qing's soldiers, and let him have a clear understanding of Li Qing's strength, his wolf army did not have a full grasp of the current Dingzhou army, the strength of the two sides was five or five, who won and who lost is not easy to say, fortunately, there is still Long Xiao of Da Dan Yu, and the white department must still have an advantage in terms of elite soldiers, Hu He does not believe that Lu Dalin's department also has such combat effectiveness, which can be proved from Li Qing's reluctance to engage with himself in Qing Town, It shows that even if Li Qing has the upper hand, he does not have the certainty of completely annihilating himself, otherwise with Li Qing's surname, it would be strange if he did not seize such a good opportunity to slap himself.

Li Qing was avoiding fighting desperately with Bai Bu in the field too early, but wanted Bai to bleed under the strong city, and Da Shan Yu was also retracting his scattered fingers one by one and clenching them into a powerful fist. Or the year after tomorrow, the land under his feet will definitely be stained with blood, Hu He thought.

"Winter wheat has been sown, but this year, Shanglin is still not self-sufficient, and still needs support from Dingzhou!" Lu Dalin pointed to the newly turned land under his feet and said to Li Qingdao.

Li Qing squatted down, grabbed a ball of soil under his feet, twisted it into fine powder in his hand, and watched the black fertile fine soil slide down from his hand, a smile appeared on his face, "Very good, in the past, we were suffering from food shortage in Dingzhou, but now that we have reclaimed so much, we will soon be able to solve this problem, oh, General Lu, I will go back and let Lu Yiming send a group of administrative officials to Shanglin to help you manage the administration here, and you, just focus on the military, there are more and more people in Shanglin, it is no longer just a military fortress, I think, Soon, I will re-establish a county here. ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Lu Dalin's face was not shocked, as if Li Qing had divided his power without moving, and he didn't care at all. "I am also struggling with this matter, there are more and more displaced people arranged by Dingzhou to Shanglin, and there are more and more people who have reclaimed the land and established more and more cantonment points, so that the last general is really lacking in skills, and with a professional civil official to worry about these things, the last general can train the army and fight the barbarians with one mind."

Li Qing glanced at Lu Dalin with appreciation, and now he felt more and more that Lu Dalin was not only a fierce general on the battlefield, but also a qualified and mature politician, in some respects, much more experienced than himself, Shanglinli's status in Dingzhou has become more and more important because of the existence of barbarians, and Dingzhou's current policy is to tilt here as much as possible, so it is impossible for him to grasp the military administration here, and there needs to be someone to check and balance, it seems that Lu Dalin has already thought of this problem, and after he suddenly raised it, He can be so calm.

"Although the administrative officials sent are subordinate to the state, the situation in Shanglinli is special, and you still have temporary control power for them when the war breaks out, and these officials are responsible to you and Lu Yiming at the same time." Li Qingdao, he is also unwilling to pull the skin between the two sides at a critical moment, which is not conducive to his big plan.

"Yes, thank you." Lu Dalin hugged his fists.

"But Marshal, can you give us a little priority for the kind of armor of the Whirlwind Battalion?" Lu Dalin said, in the past few days, he has seen that the whirlwind battalion has just been equipped with a new type of armor, which can be very good for the protection of bows and arrows, especially after the addition of face armor, the protection of soldiers is even more up a level, before fighting with the barbarians, many soldiers are facing arrows, cover because the barbarian archery is excellent, seeing that it is not easy to penetrate the Kai armor when shot into the body, causing great damage to the soldiers, many arrows are running towards the face door, and this kind of armor with face protection has changed this problem.

"This kind of armor has not yet formed a large-scale production, and it is not capable of giving you all the equipment of the troops, so let's go back to Mr. Shang and equip you with a battalion first!" Li Qing nodded.

Being able to get this kind of armor for a battalion, Lu Dalin was already very satisfied, and he also knew that this kind of armor had indeed not been mass-produced, and even Wang Qinian's Tianlei Battalion was not equipped, from this point of view, Li Qing did trust himself very much.

"I can't give you a large-scale device, but I still have a gift for you." Li Qing said with a smile.

Oh? Lu Dalin was very interested, since the handsome man gave a gift, this gift must not be an ordinary thing.

"The craftsman camp has come up with a kind of plate armor, which is made of the latest steel, but this thing is too laborious to make, and the craftsmen have to hammer it out one by one, and it is not capable of large-scale production, this kind of plate armor is much better than the fish scale armor you use now!" Li Qing said with a smile. This kind of steel plate armor is Li Qing suddenly remembered after seeing his carriage comparable to a bulletproof car, in this era, most of the generals use fish scale armor, decorate pieces of iron pieces together, a piece of armor at least dozens of pounds of weight, not to mention heavy, and often pierced by weapons at the joint, causing damage to the generals, and this kind of steel plate armor is much better, first the weight dropped sharply, which greatly reduces the burden on the generals, can save physical strength well, and the protection can also be greatly improved. It's just a pity that this thing is too laborious to make. If only there was a press! Li Qing often thinks in his heart. But now, this dream is not necessary, only a small amount of it can be made and equipped for the generals.

"I'll be here for you soon! Not much, mainly for high-ranking generals! Li Qingdao.

"Thank you, Dashuai!" Such an unexpected gift made Lu Dalin extremely happy, on the battlefield, the casualties of generals are the most headaches, it is extremely difficult for a general to train, but a small accident will cause him to be killed and wounded, which often makes a force collapse, especially a cavalry like Lu Dalin, although the current system of the Dingzhou army has minimized the discovery of this kind of thing, but it is still inevitable that some generals will have accidents, if this problem is solved, his troop combat effectiveness will be improved.

"Tomorrow I will return to Dingzhou, you are in the forest, while training the troops, you must continue to exert pressure on the grassland, keep sweeping the small tribes, before the first snow of the year, try to fight as many battles as possible, force these tribes to the hinterland of the grassland, increase the logistical burden of Bayar, we have an economic embargo on the grassland, let Bayar have a headache how to feed these people who have taken refuge in him!" Li Qing said with a smile.

Lu Dalin nodded and said: "Yes, I will send troops to fight in turn, one to achieve the strategic goal of the commander, and then to train the troops, to see the combat effectiveness of the wolf army, it is really stronger than our department!" Lu Dalin sighed.

"One army can't change the general trend!" Li Qingdao: "The longer the time, the more obvious our advantages will be. ”

"By the way, you and the soldier have been separated for a long time, this time it is rare to get together, today the two brothers will talk well, tomorrow, he will follow me again!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"How can a man have so many mothers-in-law and mothers, and the soldiers are shouldering the safety of the handsome, how can they leave lightly.!" Lu Dalin refused with a smile, "What's more, our two brothers have met several times in the past few days, that kid, after following Dashuai, has grown a lot, and he is much calmer than before." ”
