The next morning.

The warm eyes enveloped the tribe, and the breeze was refreshing.

Last night, the battle was a complete victory, and the three tribes migrated overnight, settling, pacifying, treating the wounded, counting the trophies, etc., all tired and tired, and the tribes made a fuss all night, and now they were quiet, and they were all resting in the yurt, only the people patrolling the camp were cruising and on guard.

Luo Tong and other generals handed over their troops to their deputies and hurried to the big tent.

In the big tent, Qin Huaidao led the team back overnight last night, but slept for two hours, and was fiddling with a small bonfire, the mutton was stewed on the bonfire, fragrant, picked up a piece and chewed it, saw Luo Tong open the door curtain and came in, Zhang Luo said: "Sit down and eat some together." ”

"I've been busy all night, and I'm hungry." Luo Tong was also polite, and scooped up a piece and ate it.

The two chatted a few words, and the others also came in one after another, all of them were not polite, sat down to eat and chewed, they were all hungry, and everyone chatted about the situation of last night's battle while eating, which was a report.

The battle is not thrilling, with less fighting more, or sneak attack, the results are good.

Although everything was expected, Qin Huaidao was still very happy to hear the results of the battle, asked some details, and when he was full of food and drink, the people from the guard battalion came in to clean up the mess, and everyone sat down and got serious.

The military conference begins.

Qin Huaidao also sat up straight, and said: "Everyone, last night's battle was very good, judging from the results of everyone's battle just now, a total of more than 5,000 soldiers were captured, more than 2,000 slaves were rescued, nearly 8,000 people, except for the Luo Tong brothers and Luo Ying, the seven of you were divided equally, no one was more than 1,000, no opinion, right?" ”

Luo Ying mastered the special operations group, he must be pure, and he will not have any opinions.

Luo Tong already has a division, nearly 7,000 troops, and if it is increased, it will be a monopoly, everyone will have opinions, Luo Tong also knows this truth, and said indifferently: "I don't care, just have a battle." ”

The others shook their heads.

Victory is not lost by one person, and of course the results cannot be swallowed alone.

"Then it's decided, and Li Dejian will be responsible for the distribution in a while."

Qin Huaidao made a final decision, looked around, and added: "Li Jingren's side is the Ministry of Intelligence, you don't need too much, first allocate two hundred, mainly to master the Turkic language, but it can't be Turkic, it can only be Tang, so as not to give birth to hidden dangers in the future." ”

"Understood, how to distribute the remaining 1,000 people?" Li Dejian asked rhetorically.

Li Jingren doesn't care, although the intelligence department is very important, it doesn't need too many at the moment, two hundred people are enough, the others looked at it curiously, and had some expectations, who doesn't want to have more people under them?

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Qin Huaidao spread out the map, pointed to Pu Changhai, who was located in the hinterland of Lop Nur, and said solemnly: "In addition to the soldiers and the necessary grain and grass, I am ready to move all the others here as a base. ”

"Pu Changhai, what do you mean?"

Everyone was a little stunned and asked.

Luo Tong said bluntly: "Brother Xian, there is a desert all around here, no one lives, and it is very troublesome to communicate with the outside world. ”

"Yes, it's too barren here, it's all desert, it's not suitable for life, and there's still a lot of grassland along the river where we are now, so it's better." Li Dejian also persuaded.

Qin Huaidao raised his hand and interrupted: "I understand the situation you said, at first glance, Pu Changhai is indeed not suitable for life, but at the moment it is indeed our best choice, it is true that there is a desert around, but the desert is also a barrier, and the migration of personnel will not be attacked, so we have no worries, and we can free up our hands to fight." ”

As soon as everyone heard it, it made sense, and there was no objection.

Qin Huaidao continued to explain: "In the long run, the geographical location here is very good, the north through the Great Sand Sea is Xizhou, the east through the desert is the sandbar, directly to the territory of Datang, the west is also a desert, along the Peacock River to the west to Quli, the south is our area, it is a strategic place, a place where soldiers must fight." ”

Everyone nodded again, they were all people who knew the soldiers, and they were all thorough.

Qin Huaidao continued: "Puchanghai is not short of water, there is a large area of tidal flats formed by long-term river erosion suitable for planting, it is a treasure land, a paradise, Loulan settled here back then, it was prosperous, why can't it be prosperous?" ”

"But ......," Li Dejian wanted to say.

Qin Huaidao waved his hand and interrupted: "I know what you want to say, the reason why Loulan perished is a man-made disaster caused by natural disasters, and natural disasters are caused by themselves, as long as a large number of poplars are planted as shelter forests, they can block the wind and sand, Puchanghai is not short of water, the nearby land is fertile, and 100,000 people can live if it is reclaimed." ”

"So good?" Cheng Chumo hadn't been there, and asked with some surprise.

"We used to be here when we came, and it is indeed possible to reclaim it." Luo Tong agreed.

When everyone heard that they didn't say anything, it was considered a tacit.

Qin Huaidao didn't want everyone to worry, he was suspicious, and continued to explain: "Everyone, Pu Changhai has another advantage, the house left by Loulan Guo is still there, although it has collapsed a lot, but it can live in it after tidying up, and avoid a lot of worries."

。 ”

"Brother Qin, you think it's okay, I'm the boss, it's okay to charge into battle, I don't understand this kind of local governance, listen to you." Cheng Chumo said.

"That's right, we are all rough people, where do we know what rear governance is, and help the people through the world? You can do it, let's listen to you. Fang Yiai also expressed his position.

Others echoed one after another, a martial artist, it's okay to fight, kill and kill, and I really don't understand governance.

Qin Huaidao explained for a long time that he didn't want everyone to have a grudge and affect unity, and when he saw that he had a unified opinion, he continued: "Since there are no opinions, this matter will be decided, and everyone will be appeased for a while, avoid chaos, and tell the Turks that after the past, they will open up the wasteland for planting, solve the problem of eating in the future, plant a large number of trees and protect forests, solve the problem of survival in the future, and then build a college to solve the problem of children going to school, and all children will go to school for free." ”

"Free school for all children?"

Everyone's faces changed, and they didn't know why.

Li Dejian keenly grasped the key and smiled: "This method is good, in this way, the Turkic troops will really return to their hearts and fight for us, we Tang people hate to send their children and grandchildren to school, the Turks are the same, once implemented, the Turks will never have any objections." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Su Dingfang is also a scheming person, and said with a smile: "There is another advantage to migrating to the past, to concentrate people in Puchanghai to live, and to separate from the soldiers, which is equivalent to hostages, the soldiers dare not be disobedient, and when Puchanghai is reclaimed, there is food and drink, life is at ease, everyone sees hope, they will treat Puchanghai as their home, and the soldiers will become more and more disobedient." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at Su Dingfang, his eyes were full of appreciation, and said with a smile: "Su Dingfang, or you can see it thoroughly, Pu Changhai is our rear, the base area, it is very important to us now and in the future, and there is no room for error, I want to hand it over to you to manage, can you dare to take the order?" ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Although Su Dingfang also wanted to fight with him, he knew the importance of the rear, and Qin Huaidao could hand over such a heavy place to himself, which was a great trust, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Hahaha, good!"

Qin Huaidao was overjoyed, Su Dingfang was brave and strategic, he was the best candidate, and said with satisfaction: "I just mentioned that there are still 1,000 people left, all of them will be allocated to you, Pu Changhai will be changed to Loulan City, and you will be appointed as the commander of the garrison of Loulan City, and all appointments and dismissals will be decided by yourself, and you will report to the General Staff Department for preparation, and the military and political affairs will be grasped with one hand, and I heard that there are many sand thieves and horse bandits near Loulan City, and you will lead people to exterminate them, and expand your strength while maintaining law and order on one side, and solve the problem of insufficient soldiers." ”

"Obey!" Su Dingfang was overjoyed, and secretly rejoiced that he had just decided.

Grasping the military and politics with one hand is equivalent to the feudal officials, what a trust and trust this is.

As for itchy hands and want to fight, some are sand thieves and horse bandits, and it is just right to capture them to expand their strength.

Others also looked at Su Dingfang, full of envy, thinking that he was still the head of the regiment, Su Dingfang suddenly became a military commander, jumping two levels in a row, becoming more and more envious, regretting missing the opportunity.

Everyone doesn't care about governing the place, but the first to be promoted to military commander, this honor is coveted.

Even Luo Tong was envious, he thought that the first to be the division commander would be the first to be the army commander, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Su Dingfang, and instantly understood that he had underestimated Su Dingfang's status and importance in Qin Huaidao's heart, and he had the intention of making friends, and said with a smile: "Commander Su, congratulations!" ”

"Don't dare, it's all trusted by the young master." Su Dingfang hurriedly returned the salute.
