The fires burned in the wilderness, piled up like volcanoes.

The stench of burning corpses came to the face, mixed with the sizzling sound of oil, which made people frown.

Life is between heaven and earth, and eventually returns to heaven and earth to feed back to nature. It is conceivable that next year's crops will grow exceptionally well on the ridges of this cemetery.

After burning the corpses, Li Zheng immediately summoned the commanders and captains of various departments to calculate the battle damage, sum up experience, and learn lessons.

Overall, the battle was a big win.

There are many factors, in addition to the strength of the Liangzhou army itself, there is also the reason why Lu Bu's soldiers are sleepy.

Lu Bu's 20,000-strong army set out from Chencang early in the morning, and within one day, he marched several miles in a hurry, and it was summer again, and the air was scorching, which could be described as a tired army.

However, Li Zheng's department, because of the constant temperature of the armor, can completely ignore the climatic factors. And the individual soldiers of the Liangzhou soldiers are also stronger than the soldiers of the Lu Bu army.

Moreover, Lu Bu himself did not fulfill his responsibility as a commander in this battle. was entangled by Li Zheng early on, and he had no chance to command the cavalry battle at all.

Lu Bu had an arrogant personality, and at first he only led two thousand guards, and he wanted to break the war horse, which can be described as a failure in the first battle. Of course, Lu Bu, who had never fought with the Liangzhou army, was pitted by himself, and there was nothing he could do.

Of course, whether Lu Bu participates in the command or not, the final result will still not change. At most, it is to inflict more casualties on Li Zheng's subordinates, that's all. If you want to turn the tables, it is impossible.

In this battle, Lü Busuo led 20,000 cavalry, killed more than 18,000 people, and captured only more than 1,000 people, half of whom were wounded.

The four generals led by Lu Bu were also captured.

On Li Zheng's side, 28 cavalry were injured and 4 were killed. Fifty-five horsemen were wounded, and seven were killed. The mountain wolves rode nineteen wounded, and there were no dead. Eighteen heavily armored spearmen were wounded and twenty-nine were killed. Light step archers are not damaged.

The total number of casualties reached 10.

In particular, the casualties of the war cavalry made Li Zheng feel a headache. They are all heroes who are one in a million, and dying one of them makes Li Zheng feel distressed enough, not to mention such a large casualty.

Among the wounded soldiers, some were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, which was cruel for an elite soldier who had been tempered for thousands of years.

In the face of Li Zheng's overflowing regret, Lu Bu and the others looked at each other depressed in their hearts.

can't help but secretly slander, you Li Zheng are dead and injured, and what about me Lu Bu? 20,000 people are gone!

Li Zheng didn't have time to take into account their feelings, so he immediately cremated the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, put them in jars, labeled them with their names, places of origin, positions, etc., and took them with them, placed them in the hero's altar, worshiped by all the people, and immortalized through the ages.

Subsequently, he comforted the injured again, and Li Zheng immediately said that he would urge the Military Affairs Yuan to do his best to compensate for the casualties and give verbal rewards to everyone.

In the Liangzhou army, there was a mature system for all qiē.

The bereavement of the war dead, the work problems of the veterans, and the promotion of war exploits will all be well resolved. After all, it is a hand-to-hand victory, and it is not difficult, and it does not need to be promoted by Li Zheng personally.

During the night, the army encamped on the spot, and a moment later the wilderness was set ablaze by fires. The soldiers of each department converged according to the formation, and then began to bury the pot and make rice.

In the center of the camp, Li Zheng, Lu Bu and other four people sat around a pile of firewood, the fire was extinguished, and the faces of the people who were shining flashed brightly and darkly. On the side, Li Zheng's personal guards focused on Lu Bu and the others, and never relaxed.

Li Zheng can rest assured and boldly give Lu Bu four freedoms, but Li Zheng's personal soldiers will not. They have their duty, and protecting Li Zheng is the first priority.

The bracket of the horn rests on the fire, and on the stand hangs a clay pot, in which the steam boils, and a tempting aroma bubbles.

Li Zheng took the bowl, handed it to Lu Bu and the other four people, filled them with a bowl of meat porridge with a spoon with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Taste the dry food of my Liangzhou army." ”

Now that the war is over, naturally there is not so much tension. So except for the soldiers on routine patrols, the rest are like Li Zheng, who boiled the meat patties into porridge and ate them.

Blowing the hot air, Lu Bu took a small sip. Instantly, an intoxicating taste filled the mouthpiece. At that moment, Lu Bu didn't care about the heat, and drank a bowl of meat porridge in a big gulp.

Like Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Cao Xingren also made the same moves. Gobble, nothing more.

After drinking a bowl, Lu Bu glanced at the still steaming and gurgling clay pot, and couldn't help but say, "General Li, you Liangzhou soldiers all eat this?" ”

"Of course." Li Zheng smiled: "How is it?" Tastes good, right? ”

Zhang Liao spoke on the side and said, "It's not just good, it's comparable to the top food." Among them are spiny pork, red jade bird eggs, and it seems that there are ginseng wheat, and some of them cannot be eaten. ”

After all, he can be regarded as a middle-level and high-level general of Dong Zhuojun, and Lu Bu and the other four naturally have the opportunity to taste Liangzhou's specialty such as thorny pigs. With the taste of a specialty such as the echinoderm pig, it is sure to be unforgettable.

Li Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Far amazing!" The dry food of our Liangzhou army is made from a mixture of high-energy meat, grain, and vegetables. Not only is it nutritious, but it can also be eaten all year round to strengthen **, enhance strength, and quickly replenish physical strength in wartime. ”

"No wonder the Liangzhou Army's individual soldiers are so strong."

Gao Shun's face was expressionless.

This sentence resonated with Zhang Liao, and he sighed: "That's true, I see that each of these special cavalry under General Li has the strength to be a military candidate. ”

Li Zheng laughed and said, "My Liangzhou army eats well, the training is harsh, and the individual soldiers are naturally not bad." It's an ordinary foot pawn, and if you take it out alone, you can at least have one enemy! ”

A few people just chatted like this, looking very casual.

Suddenly, Gao Shun opened his mouth and asked, "General Li, can you tell Gao, how did you find out about us?" How can we be intercepted so precisely? ”

This sentence has been hidden in Gao Shun's heart for a long time.

He couldn't understand how they could be intercepted by Li Zheng in the middle of the road with such a swift marching speed? Is there a mole? It can't be, and the mole isn't so fast.

This sentence also aroused the sympathy of Lu Bu and others, and they all looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I have my own way, but I can tell you, not to find out." As he spoke, his tone paused, and his words were full of temptation, and said: "If the four of them voted for Li, they would naturally know the reason." ”

"Look at them!"

Li Zheng spoke, stretched out his hand to the cavalry not far away, and said: "General Lu, you are from Bingzhou, you must have a soft spot for cavalry, do you want to lead such cavalry to dominate the world?" ”

"Look at them again!"

Li Zheng pointed to the heavily armored spearmen and light step archers again, and said to Gao Shun and the others: "My foot soldiers are elite enough, right?" I heard that General Gao trained a trapping camp, I don't know how it compares? General Gao, if we use our army's foot soldiers to train the trapping camp, what will be the effect?! ”

"Look at the porridge in your bowls!"

Li Zheng looked proud and said: "Everyone in Liangzhou has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, every family lives and works in peace and contentment, and every household has a bumper harvest and prosperity." My Liangzhou Road is smooth, agriculture is prosperous, business is prosperous, and the military is invincible. ”

"Everyone," Li Zheng gradually slowed down his tone: "The person who knows the times is Junjie, and he has followed me Li, and he has a bright future, and his name will remain in history!" This is not my Li boasting, why can I Liangzhou dominate one side and suppress Dong Zhuo? I have my capital! ”

When Lu Bu and the others heard this, they were speechless.

"Let's talk to a few generals." Li Zheng's face was straight, and he said: "Several of them are outstanding people, don't expect that General Ben will be soft-hearted and let you go back for a while, that's impossible." There is only one thing in front of you! ”

"First, if you vote for this general, you will soar in the future, and your name will remain in history."

"Second, I was placed under house arrest by General Ben for a lifetime, and I didn't do anything anymore, and my skills were put into waste!"

"It's, die!"

Listening to Li Zheng's words, Lu Bu and the others were all shaken in their hearts.

For a while, my mind was chaotic and I didn't know what to do.

Li Zheng's eyes scanned back and forth at the four of them, and it was obvious that Cao Xing and Zhang Liao were already tempted. It may be because of Lu Bu's face-to-face that it is difficult to say it clearly.

As for Gao Shun, his face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Bu's expression changed for a long time, but he hugged his fists and said: "I am not a person who doesn't know what to do." But General Li, my family is still in Chang'an, what can I do? ”

When Gao Shun heard this, his mouth opened and he was speechless.

Zhang Liao and Cao Xing were happy.

Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay. First, it will take some time for the results of this battle to reach Chang'an. Maybe Dong Zhuo was broken by me during this time? Furthermore, I can promise that before Dong Zhuo is killed, I will not expose your existence, and I can release the news, only to say that the four have been killed in battle, I think Dong Zhuo will not be angry with the martyr's family, right? ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up, hugged his fists and said: "I, Lu Bu, started in Bingzhou, rose from the fight, and never served anyone, but today, Lu Mou lost his heart. As he spoke, he gave a long salute and said solemnly: "General Li's martial arts are extraordinary, and his martial arts are complete, I am Lu Bu's service!" Lord! ”

"Lord!"

Zhang Liao and Cao Xing bowed down together.

Gao Shun sighed, and his face was solemn: "Lord! ”

"Hahahaha"

Li Zheng stood up, looked up to the sky and smiled, the cheerful taste was beyond words. At that moment, he helped Lu Bu and the four of them up one by one, and said happily: "I can get the help of the four, this general is like a fish in water, come and come, get up quickly!" ”

The righteousness of the monarch and the minister must be certain, and then, the four of them are much more restrained.

Li Zheng didn't care, chatting with them with a smile and introducing them to the live situation in Liangzhou in detail.

One by one, one by one, the major events related to the military, government and people's livelihood in Liangzhou were said by Li Zheng gently, and the four of them were yearning.

The huge and profound heritage of Liangzhou gradually tore off the veil of mystery and revealed it in front of the four people.

The four of them glanced at each other from time to time, and they all saw the happiness in each other's eyes.

They concluded in their hearts that if a character like the lord Li Zheng couldn't win the world, then it would really be unreasonable!

The five of them talked in detail until late at night, and then they went to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Zheng asked Lu Bu and the four to return to Lingzhou with more than 1,000 prisoners and the wounded of Li Zheng's department. The four of them also have to enter the military branch of the Lingzhou Academy for practice.

And Li Zheng himself unexpectedly led the rest of the army and went south to the Longguan area!
