Chapter 102: Dispute
On the walls of Gelben, Tierlebi accompanied a young man with a whip in his hand, surrounded by Roman prisoners who were repairing the walls, and the slightest laziness was immediately a whip swing.
"The speed of the repair of the city wall must be accelerated, and the city of Gerben is still in danger until reinforcements from the imperial capital arrive, and we cannot relax our vigilance against the Romans......"
The young man's voice suddenly stopped, and he turned his head slightly to look at Telbi, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his handsome face looked particularly good in the sun.
He shook the dress on his body and scolded softly: "Lao Tie! pay attention, I'm talking to you!"
The young general was surrounded by a crowd of people, and although he did not wear any medals on his chest, everyone was in awe of him.
Tielebi reacted, his stout body hurriedly bowed, and he was about to explain something to the young general, but another middle-aged general on the side spoke.
"Tielebi probably because he has been with these soldiers for too long, and it is difficult to concentrate in his thoughts. If you don't give him another errand, I'll be in charge of repairing the fortifications. β
Hearing the words of the middle-aged general, Tielebi hurriedly darkened his face and explained loudly: "My lord, my old iron is not slacking off, you must not listen to Moknash's nonsense." I was just thinking about something else, and that's a little distracting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter, and the young general also chuckled twice, and said to Tielebi: "Tell me, what you were thinking just now, you can put forward any good proposals." β
Tielebi glanced at Moknash in annoyance, and had to lower his head and explain: "Now that we have won the battle, the officers and soldiers of the city are beaming, but who thought about those brothers who died in battle......
The surrounding atmosphere instantly froze, and everyone's faces began to become solemn, the corners of Tielebi's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued stubbornly: "Don't say it's us, it's these captives, how sad their families have to be now......
Moknash glanced at Tielebi strangely, he couldn't have imagined that such words would come out of Tielebi's mouth, seeing that the handsome young man's face gradually turned cold, he hurriedly excused Tielebi and said: "Don't blame the adults, Tielebi is a rough man who can't speak, and I hope the adults will forgive him." β
After saying that, he then turned his head and glared at Tielebi, and scolded: "You reckless man, don't hurry up and admit your mistake to the adults!"
Tielebi scratched his head, and just wanted to apologize and admit his mistake, but he saw the young general suddenly wave his hand, and said lightly: "Tielebi is right, we are indeed a little optimistic......
He shook his head slightly, sighed and continued: "Our relatives and friends who died in the robe are still immersed in the pain caused by the war. β
Speaking of this, he took two steps forward, held on to a wall with his hand and looked into the distance, and said with some abruptness in his tone: "It is estimated that it will be necessary to wait for the reward of the imperial court to come down, and only then can they use materials to make up for the pain in their hearts." β
Tielebi's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect his words to make Shangguan so emotional, he drooped his head, and said a little embarrassed: "It's the fault of the lowly position, I said something headless and brainless, which made the adult angry." β
The young general turned around, patted Tielebi on the shoulder with his hand, and said with a faint smile: "What?
He glanced at everyone, saw that everyone's heads were all lowered slightly, and said lightly: "Lao Tie's words reminded me that those of us who survived by luck must not forget the relatives of those martyrs." β
Then he turned to Moknash and said, "How much money is left in the treasury of Gelben? I think we should give some of it to the local soldiers who died in battle, so that it can also play a certain role in stabilizing the morale of the army." β
Moknash stepped forward and whispered: "We have sent someone to count the treasury, there are only more than one million gold coins, and the ordinary army has lost nearly 300,000 in total, even if you take out all the money, it is not enough to stuff your teeth......"
The young general nodded, his eyes flickered slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Generally, the gentry come out to appease them when they win a battle...... This time, it seems that the movement in the city is a little smaller. β
Moknash glanced around and saw that all the troops of the Eighth Regiment were there, so he whispered: "The regiment commander may not know that he has been outside the city for the past two days, but in fact, the gentry and elders have already appeased ......"
"Appeased?" the handsome general's face was a little puzzled, and with his current prestige in Gelborn, he did not believe that such a thing would be left unnoticed.
Seeing that his face was a little unhappy, Moknash hurriedly explained: "It's Yurian's meaning, he thinks that the royal forbidden army should not have too much contact with the gentry for the time being, so the royal forbidden army did not participate, and they all went to the Paku Mansion......"
Only then did the young general nod, although Julian had drilled some camps, he had seen this issue thoroughly. The army of the imperial capital should keep some distance from the locality, after all, Chalekel is still there, and the face of the local army still needs to be taken care of.
"I didn't expect the Baigu clan to win the hearts of the people in the city ......of Gelben," he paced back and forth, looking up at the sun in the skyβit was cloudless and clear, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
Moknash didn't know what he meant, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the behavior of the local tyrant, so he hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Your Excellency may have misunderstood...... The Paigu should have no problem with their loyalty to the Empire. β
The young general smiled slightly, shook his head and said lightly: "I'm not questioning this question, Marquis Baigu's performance in the battle is obvious to all, and I am not qualified to question him." β
He paused slightly, and continued: "But like the Bai Gu family, a family that has guarded the border for generations, there are still many more in our empire......
He didn't finish his sentence, but Moknash fully understood that some families were so entrenched at the border that no one could guarantee that they would be as loyal as the Pakus.
However, this was an extremely heavy political topic, and he did not dare to say anything more, and the handsome man who was the head of the regiment could say that because he was a senior official, he had this right.
This handsome young general was David Mo, who led the crowd to the top of the city today to carefully examine the progress of the captives in building fortifications.
Today, the city of GΓΆlben has been baptized by the fire of war and is somewhat dilapidated, but fortunately, the foundation of the empire is still deep, and post-war affairs are in order.
"Needless to say, these questions are too deep. David Mo sighed slightly, with a smile on his face, and said to Tielebi not far away: "The last two days have been a little hard...... The first contribution to this post-war reconstruction is your old iron. β
Tielebi hurriedly took two steps forward, and just wanted to kneel down on one knee to say two words of promise, when he suddenly saw David Mo's face slightly unhappy, and he immediately remembered that David Mo didn't like to bow down. His body suddenly stopped, and he bowed down and said, "The humble position must live up to the expectations of adults!"
David Mo nodded with satisfaction, turned to Moknash, and said, "I've been watching for a long time today, so let's not delay their work here." β
After bidding farewell to Tielebi and the other officers in charge of the fortifications, he led the men and horses of the guard battalion out of the city walls.
......
The whole of Pakofu was in a state of silence, and the sound of crying could be heard from time to time, although the crisis in the city of Gelben had been solved. But for this Gelben first family, there was not the slightest joy at all.
The death of the Paigooli became the first head of the Pablo family to die in battle, because the three sons were all in the imperial capital, so the Pakgu family only had one youngest daughter to guard filial piety.
In the main hall of the Pablo Mansion, a girl in a black mourning dress kneels on the ground, and in front of her is a jet-black coffin, in which the urn of the Pakgul is placed.
Beside her knelt a young woman in mourning clothes, her delicate face was slightly sad, and her eyes were extremely complicated looking at the coffin, as if she still couldn't believe the facts in front of her.
The young woman applied some powder on her face slightly, the traces of tears were extremely obvious, and her voice was a little choked: "So many ordinary soldiers can survive, why did you ......leave, master?"
The girl on the side was also sad, but after listening to the young woman's words, the expression on her face suddenly became a little disgusted, and she said coldly: "It's not my father who you're crying at all!
The young woman glared, she didn't expect the girl's words to be so merciless, and hurriedly scolded: "Love Puli! Pay attention to your attitude! No matter what, I am your nominal mother!"
When her words fell, the girl's expression became even colder, and she said with hatred: "You are not my mother! You are just a concubine of my father! Candace, you better put yourself in your position!"
Hearing her words, the young woman known as Candace was choked at once. Because she is indeed the concubine of the Pawgul, and the only concubine of the Pawgul.
But Peculi's wife passed away two years ago, she has been married to Patrick for just a year, although there is only one concubine, but in the house, she has always regarded herself as the main mother.
After she was stunned for a moment, she forced herself to calm down and not panic, clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and rebuked Ai Puli: "No matter what, now I am the mistress of this family!
Hearing her words, Ai Puli's delicate face flushed slightly, and after a while, she calmed down, maintained her usual elegance, and said in a cold voice: "You are the mistress?! Don't forget my brothers in the imperial capital! When they come back, can you stay in this house!"
When Candace heard her mention her brothers, her heart was secretly a little blocked, and Ai Puli's words just poked at her weakness, because as long as any son returned, her status in this family would never be guaranteed.
Just when she was silent, and Ai Puli looked a little proud, suddenly a servant hurried in from outside the hall.
Seeing this scene, in order to change the topic and resolve the embarrassment, Candace hurriedly scolded loudly: "What do you look like in a hurry! The master has just left, and you have no rules!"
The servant fell to his knees with a "plop" and shouted, "Madame, stop your anger! There is really a group of nobles from outside the mansion, and the servants dare not delay, so they hurriedly come!"
