49. Aftermath

No matter how long the night is, there will be a dawn.

When the first rays of light appeared in the sky, the battle outside Luoyang City also came to an end.

The gate of Luoyang was wide open, and the beggars began to go out of the city under the command of Zhang Tugou, collecting the corpses inside and outside the city, which was July and was in the middle of summer.

Just after the tragic battle, if the corpse is not disposed of in time and left to the sun, I am afraid that it will cause an epidemic.

More than ten years ago, the north-south war of the Taihang generation, the plague caused in that place, made ten rooms empty, and its impact has not been eliminated until now.

When ordinary people touch the corpse, they always feel unlucky and afraid.

But the beggars don't care about this, there was an accident in the city in the past, and the corpses that no one took care of were also dealt with.

What's more, this battle held Luoyang, and last night there was news that the Heluo Gang wanted to reward the meritorious people, and the beggar gang helped defend the city, and everyone was rewarded afterwards.

Moreover, the corpses of those dog thieves in the Northern Dynasty are to be piled up and burned, and when they go to carry the corpses, they can also touch some small money or booty, which will be chaotic, and no one will take care of it.

Therefore, a large group of people had their faces covered with cloths, and among the beggars who went out of the city, there were also some prodigals in the city, and the city fox and rats.

As well as, some people who are injured but can still move.

Some of them fought last night, and they couldn't bear to see their colleagues exposed to the wilderness.

Others, they have no friends and brothers, and they want to come outside the city to look for them, and if they can find them, they have to bring the remains of the ashes back to their hometown.

Fallen leaves return to the roots, human nature.

Among those people in the rivers and lakes who collected the bones, there are also some new stars in the rivers and lakes who became famous because of yesterday's war, such as Xiao Lingsu, the eldest disciple of the Jade Emperor Palace, and Wei Changbo, the senior brother of the Nanhai faction.

For another example, the Jiangnan Chivalry Director Dao, who desperately sent back the news of the Northern Army's raid.

Those disciples of the high-ranking sects, as long as they can still move, are all at the request of the master to go out of the city to collect the remains of their fellow disciples, this is a matter of earning face for the sect, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"I heard from a friend who knows each other that a monument should be built outside Luoyang City."

In the crowd, a swordsman with a Guanzhong accent said to several people next to him while carrying the corpse of his fellow Daoist and stacking it on the carriage next to him:

"It was Shen Qiu, the hero of Heluo, who proposed it to the leader of the alliance, saying that it was this hero meeting, it was our righteous people who saved the innocent people in Luoyang City, even if the government doesn't care, our righteous path is the same thing, and we can't sit back and watch our fellow Daoists lose their reputation after they die.

Miss Shiyin, the leader of the Heluo Gang, has entrusted the Mo family craftsman to build a monument of scenery.

But all the righteous warriors who fought and died with the dogs of the Northern Dynasty must write down their names, inherit them, and stand on this battlefield, so that the world can know about this Luoyang matter. ”

"Good, good!"

An older charlatan touched his beard and praised him repeatedly, saying:

"In the past, those of us who walked the rivers and lakes died when we died, and no one paid attention to it unless it was some reputation.

The atmosphere made by Miss Shiyin and the alliance leader this time made the heroes have a posthumous mourning, and it is not in vain that we will fight for the people in Luoyang City.

That's a great thing. ”

"Hey, it's actually Miss Shiyin in order to remember her father, uncle."

Another chimed in:

"There is already some news from the Heluo Gang, saying that Lei Ye and the Master of Hatred will also be buried under this 'Hero Monument', and their names will be engraved at the beginning.

Others, that's all in passing. ”

"Don't say a word!"

Immediately someone was not satisfied.

A few people next to him grabbed knives and scolded in a rough voice:

"The Heluo Gang not only leaves the good men to mourn after death, but also if they are killed in battle, their families are in difficulty, and there are orphans and widows, no matter where they are, as long as they come to join the Heluo Gang, they will take them in.

I spend money to support a group of old and weak women and children, I'm afraid I don't have to accept tens of millions of people, such arrogance, such kindness, which force has it in the rivers and lakes?

Besides, the human Lei Ye, the prodigal monk, with the strength of the two of them, fought against the twelve masters of the Demon Sect, and innocently dragged the life-saving hour for the White Horse Temple, such a kind of righteous thing is enough to be called a generation of heroes!

People leave a name on the hero monument, why is it in your way?

You rammer, you don't dare to fight to the death, and you don't allow others to be heroes and heroes?

If you want to gossip more, be careful that Lao Tzu cuts your mouth! ”

Seeing that the anger of the crowd was aroused, the person who spoke lowered his head and confessed, ran to the side to move the corpse, and did not dare to say more.

At this time, it was the time when everyone fought to the death overnight, repelled the dog thieves of the Northern Dynasty, and their hearts were at their highest, and they dared to say strange things, for fear that they would not be beaten by others.

If you are unlucky and are killed by mistake, you deserve it.

Some of the people who found a friend grieved in their hearts, and cried to death, and the cries were bursting and joined together, so that the battlefield outside the city, where there was still gunsmoke, was full of sorrow and heaviness.

There is also a common hatred of the enemy.

"There's still a northern dog alive here!"

An exclamation suddenly attracted a crowd of people from the rivers and lakes, and the knights of the Northern Dynasty, who had been hungry until dawn, did not even shout for mercy, and were scolding and hacking to death by a group of people in the rivers and lakes.

It's the excitement of the crowd.

After half an hour, not only someone with sharp eyes, but also shouted, everyone looked to the north, and saw that there were hundreds of people riding on horses, waving flags, and carrying some grizzled North Dynasty dogs, coming to Luoyang.

"It's a hero of the Tiance Army!"

There were bursts of cheers in the crowd, last night's battle, until this time, has been known by many people, Shen Daxia rushed into battle with a lone army, and at the critical moment, the Tiance army descended from the sky like a divine soldier and attacked the northern army from the rear.

The two joined forces to wipe out the dog thieves of the Northern Dynasty.

The prestige of the Tiance Army in the people was already very good, and this time it saved the lonely city of Luoyang at a critical moment, and when they saw those mighty soldiers escorting the prisoners over, the crowd was suddenly full of praise.

Li Baoguo was riding on a horse, he was very tired at this time, and the night of fighting made him a little out of strength, and he urgently needed to rest for a while.

The cheers of the crowds on both sides of the surrounding post road made him feel a little irritable, but he had to cheer up and wave to the crowds on both sides to raise his prestige.

And in the crowd, there were also those who recognized Li Baoguo, and they called his name one by one.

"The third brother is familiar with these Jianghu people."

Li Baoguo's side, riding on an armored war horse, with a red fanged ghost face, and a captain wearing Tiance battle armor, laughed softly, and under the mask, there was a gentle tone.

He said to Li Baoguo:

"It seems that the third brother has indeed earned a reputation in Luoyang over the years, and I know that my third brother is a hero, no matter where he is, he is the dragon and phoenix among people."

"Second brother, don't make fun of me."

Li Baoguo grabbed the reins of the horse and whispered:

"If it weren't for the second brother who led the army to save me this time, I am afraid that I would have died in the battle last night, and I have to thank the second brother for saving his life."

"Tsk, I haven't seen you for six years, but you are a little more sleek and a little hypocritical."

That day, the captain was riding on a horse, and his body was straight, and he piggybacked, and said:

"You and I, both grew up together under the care of the eldest brother, although they are not related by blood, but they were adopted by their father-in-law, that is, between their own brothers, between their own families, what else do you need to say?"

Li Baoguo laughed and didn't say anything.

He looked at the carriage behind him, the bodies of Wang Duwei and Tiance were all placed in the carriage, and the elders who had been together for six years died so abruptly that Li Baoguo won the battle.

But at this time, the mood is really not good.

The masked lieutenant, seeing that his younger brother was depressed, changed the subject and said:

"Serving the country, what are you going to do in the future? Do you want to follow your second brother back to Guanzhong? The eldest brother and the father-in-law often talk about you. ”

"I was right back then, and I don't admit it."

Li Baoguo was stubborn and whispered:

"I know that my father-in-law loves me, but I don't admit it to him Zhao Biao, this Luoyang battle, Pao Ze died here, I want to stay in Luoyang and rebuild my Tiance old camp.

Uncle Wang died to protect Luoyang, and I inherited his last wish, and I have stayed in Luoyang since then! I'm not going anywhere! ”

"Alas"

The captain on horseback sighed.

He shook his whip and said:

"Okay, that's your temper, I can't persuade you, after I go back, tell my father-in-law, with your exploits last night, with your identity, to be a Luoyang lieutenant, it's also qualified."

"Second brother, there's one more thing."

Li Baoguo said to his second brother:

"Luoyang battalion, last night's battle, there were a lot of casualties, I want to ask my father-in-law to give me a military order, allow me to recruit troops in Luoyang, not much, three thousand people are enough.

The Northern Dynasty coveted the Central Plains and attacked Luoyang this time, although it was defeated, it will not stop in the future.

Can't, let the second brother lead the army to rescue you every time, right? ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult."

The captain sighed, raised his head, and looked at the section of the Luoyang city wall that collapsed.

He is a person who has been in battle for a long time, and his mind is as solid as a rock, but he was also a little shocked and stunned when he saw that the Luoyang city wall, which was more than ten zhang thick and more than ten zhang high, and could be called the world's heroic city, was beaten like this by the people of the rivers and lakes.

Just from the collapse of this city wall, we can see how dangerous the battle of Luoyang was.

If it weren't for Ren Hao's hero, who invited the Tiance army to prepare in advance, if they hadn't prepared in advance, this city would have been unable to be saved, and Luoyang would have fallen, the Central Plains would have opened widely, and the balance of the war in the Southern Dynasties, which was already in a stalemate, would have been broken in an instant.

It's a chill in my back when I think about it.

He was silent for a few breaths and said to Li Baoguo:

"The Zhao family was born in the army, and they have always been wary of my father-in-law and my Tiance army, so I am afraid that they will usurp the throne again, and with the heart of a villain, they will spend the belly of a gentleman.

Over the years, our Tiance battalion has been repeatedly blocked in recruiting troops in Guanzhong, and if you want to recruit new soldiers in Luoyang, I am afraid it is very difficult.

But... Second brother, even if your father-in-law doesn't give you a military order, this soldier should still be recruited, it's just a change of name. ”

He lowered his voice and said to Li Baoguo:

"I look at the ruin of the Luoyang City Mansion, the military discipline of the surrounding cities is chaotic, and I heard that the Heluo Gang has some 'friendship' with the Luoyang Mansion Order, since you are also a Jianghu person, don't always think about these things with military thinking.

It's nothing more than a name.

If you really encounter a war, those elite soldiers who have been trained by you have been transformed into our Tiance soldiers? With the defense needs of Luoyang City, the government soldiers had to recruit at least 6,000 people.

Counting the surrounding areas, if you can communicate with the Heluo Gang, recruit more than 10,000 people, and protect the safety of Luoyang, it will not be a problem. ”

Li Baoguo's eyes lit up.

He was the first to think of Shen Qiu and Shen Daxia.

Shen Daxia has a close relationship with the Heluo Gang, this time Lei Ye, Master Lang Monk died in battle, and Miss Lei Shiyin succeeded to the throne, I heard that she still wants to call Shen Daxia "brother".

And Shen Daxia doesn't seem to be the kind of person who doesn't know how to be flexible, and he has an old relationship with the Tiance Army, this thing can be done nine times out of ten!

"Second brother, you have to take the army to rest in Luoyang for a few days."

Li Baoguo said to his second brother:

"In the past few days, I will introduce you to a person, he is the disciple of the great hero of our Tiance Army, if there is no him this time, this Luoyang City will not be able to defend it.

You just said that you need more help from him when it comes to recruiting soldiers. ”

"Oh? Last night, the one-armed knight holding the world's sharp weapons? ”

Captain Tiance was also interested, he wiped the Liquan gun hanging on his horse pocket, then nodded, and said to Li Baoguo:

"Such a hero, he still has an old relationship with the Tiance Army, and he really has to see it."

-----------------

Li Baoguo thought very well, but Shen Qiu really didn't have time now.

Lei Ye, the monk died, he will be buried in seven days, the funeral matters must not be sloppy, and there is a heroic monument to be built outside the city, and the Heluo Gang has suffered heavy injuries, and the casualties in Luoyang City have not been counted.

How should the innocent people in the city be resettled, and how should the people in the rivers and lakes be appeased?

After the battle was over, these troubled things almost came to my head.

Although there are alliance leaders, Chong and Lao Dao, Lin Yundong, Zhang Tugou and other seniors in the rivers and lakes to help, but at least the internal affairs of the Heluo Gang, they are not easy to interfere in, so they all fall on Lei Shiyin.

However, this fifteen-year-old girl, who encountered a tragic incident in the world last night, was at a loss, and there were some signs of anger and blood, Qingqing, Xuanyu accompanied Lei Shiyin, I was afraid that this girl would not be able to survive.

"Uncle Li, I can handle some of the affairs of this gang of people, but the mediation between businessmen still has to be done by you."

In Lei Ye's mansion, Shen Qiu, who was hanging his arms, accompanied by Steward Zhao, was talking to Li Yijian's father.

This Li family pharmacy is also a member of the Heluo Gang, and it is still a big bone in the gang, which is naturally very important.

"What did the virtuous nephew say!"

Uncle Li was also frightened all night last night, but fortunately, he had a nursing home martial artist on weekdays, which barely protected the life of the family, but his daughter-in-law Hanxiang was a little moved, which made Master Li worry in his eyes.

But when it comes to business, this eight-sided old businessman is not ambiguous, he knows what Shen Qiu is referring to, so he patted his chest and said:

"The virtuous nephew and my Li family are not outsiders, and they are my son's eldest brother, but they are the most important people in Lei Ye's lifetime, Shiyin's niece can't take care of things now, and it is also right for the virtuous nephew to do one or two things for him.

Old man, I naturally won't make it difficult for my nephew. ”

"Good!"

Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Master Li and said softly:

"Then bother Uncle Li, take the lead of Shiyin, and bring a message to the elders in the gang who are not very peaceful.

Uncle Li is not afraid, there is Yijian's affection, as long as Shen is still in Luoyang, no one dares to touch a single hair of the Li family. You can always rest assured that you can just deliver the words. ”

"You say."

Master Li listened attentively, and then, he heard Shen Qiu's tone change, and the cold breath came in bursts.

"Before, Shen couldn't control what the Heluo Gang did, and in the future, Shen didn't want to care about how the Heluo Gang would develop.

But in these days, not long after Lei Yelang monk went, there were people in the gang who made noise, didn't he bully Shiyin and had no support?

Uncle Li, you make it clear to them.

The Heluo Gang will be a big faction in the future, and the businessmen will naturally not be able to use it, and they will have to do things according to the rules of the rivers and lakes in the future.

These rules of the rivers and lakes help Chinese businessmen, but I am afraid that they don't understand it very well.

During this period of time, who dares to jump out and embarrass Shiyin, without Shen Mou's hands, thousands of chivalrous people in Luoyang City can take their guys for dinner!

If there is still anyone who is not convinced, let him come and talk to Shen!

I've already broken through the 10,000 people in the Northern Dynasty, and I don't care, a few more ghosts under the sword!

The reward for the wounded in the rivers and lakes, the rescue for the people of Luoyang City, the ritual for the deceased, and the cost of making the hero's monument were distributed according to each family, and within three days, they were handed over to the grain platform of the gang.

If it's one point less..."

Shen Qiu paused, looking at Master Li, his voice became softer and softer.

"Shen and the leaders of the martial arts alliance, the seniors of the rivers and lakes, gave up their faces and went to the door in person to ask for it."
