Li Xiuning was looking through the military merit book sent by the military merit Sima, and she also had to write the soldier's death certificate and disability certificate, these things were supposed to be done by the logistics Sima. Li Xiuning asked for it, and she wanted to write down the heroic deeds of each soldier in the report, so that the court could take credit for it.

When Luo Yu came in, Li Xiuning was secretly weeping, 330 people were killed, 622 people were seriously injured, every soldier was good, the deceased sacrificed their precious lives to defend the country, the wounded gave the health of the second half of their lives, their families were waiting for them to go back, and every death report was so difficult to write.

"There is a trap camp soldier Liu Hai fought bravely, one enemy and two still fought to the death and did not retreat, to gain valuable time for the successors, Liu Hai killed six Tubo cavalry after the leg wound, and the second turn of the Celestial Commander ......" Each report states how the soldiers fought to the death, killed a few people, and turned several times.

She crossed out more than a dozen names in the first dozen names in the military merit book, including her own name, and the same was true of the first two battles, and at first she was worried about buying people's hearts, but the court acquiesced to this practice, and she didn't know if she was arresting her Li family.

Pei Lian, the secretary of the military department, was an old friend of Li Yuan, and he wrote a letter to Li Yuan to praise this practice, but I don't know whether it was the emperor's order or really agreed. After consulting with the military leaders, they all shared part of the military merits with the casualties, except for the court pension, and then took out some money from the Li family to support the families of these martyrs.

Luo Yu saw that Li Xiuning was so sad and couldn't bear to disturb, so he turned around and came out of the account, looking at the busy soldiers who were packing all kinds of things and putting them on the carriage, the expression on his face was also very heavy, the ashes of the dead robe were cremated and the ashes were packed in a black porcelain jar, with their names written on it, and then placed on the covered carriage, enough to put more than a dozen carriages, after a simple treatment of the disabled sergeant, the seriously injured lay on the carriage covered with black cloth, covered with a thick black cloth, and the minor injuries were all sitting on the edge of the carriage, ready to leave the camp and go home at any time.

A few hundred meters ahead, all kinds of flags fluttered in the wind, snowflakes fluttered and fell, covering the earth and everything, a piece of white, Luo Yu couldn't help but think of the poems of the later generations of Taizu: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drift......ing" Although the Great Wall is not visible here, of course, I don't know if there is a Great Wall in this time and space.

The atmosphere of this army is a bit depressing, it stands to reason that this battle is all annihilated by 6,000 horsemen, and their own side only pays a not too big price, no matter how you look at it, it is a big victory, why is it so depressing? Luo Yu looked at the black porcelain jars one by one, and suddenly understood that these were all robes, and they were still joking the day before yesterday, but today they are separated forever, and it is strange not to be sad.

Li Xiuning finally opened the curtain of the tent and walked out, her eyes were red, and she was still holding a book in her hand.

Luo Yu saluted and said: "General, I don't know if I should talk about something under my post?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "Don't be so formalistic when you join the army, let's listen to everything." Luo Yu said: "General, what is the reward for these soldiers after returning to Chang'an?" Will they go home to work again when they are restored? ”

Li Xiuning looked at Luo Yu strangely: "Reward after returning to Beijing?" They fought for the country, protected their parents and wives, and the court was rewarded for their military exploits, so what reward was there? The government soldiers are soldiers in agriculture, what can they do if they don't farm when they go back? ”

Luo Yu thought for a while and said: "General, the military merit system of the court can only exempt the families of soldiers with military merits from conscription, as for letting these peasant men who don't know a few big characters to become officials, presumably the court will not do this." After a pause, he said: "I heard that the current court pension for the dead sergeant is only enough to buy a thin donkey, and even less for the disabled, this is not normal, at least I don't want to go under the job!" ”

Li Xiuning's wonderful eyes flashed, looked at Luo Yu and said, "What tricks can you make to join the army to change this rule?" ”

Luo Yu said: "General, after excluding the military leaders and your military merits, is there any surplus?" Li Xiuning thought for a while, tilted his head and said: "It's not enough for each sergeant to be beheaded by one level, not to mention that the casualties are divided into two more levels, and they will become a turn of honor, I can only give up the merits of the pro-army, how can I get rich?" ”

After listening to this, Luo Yu lowered his head and thought about it: "Jieli is leading cavalry, his army has been destroyed, there is always a little bit of horses left, can you dispose of this batch of horses, and get some money to share with the sergeants?" That's not a violation, right? ”

Li Xiuning looked at Luo Yu in surprise, this is a group of war horses from the Western Regions, they have a sturdy physique, compact structure, medium and long heads, large nostrils, and slightly thin strength. The mane is low, the anterior thorax is broad, and the thorax is well developed. Shiri is slightly oblique, the limbs are strong, the hoof is solid, the coat color is complex, and there are more chestnuts, chestnuts, and blue, which are too different from the horses in Guanzhong, how to deal with it? Even if you can handle it, how much money can you get?

Thinking of this, he said to Luo Yu: "This batch of horses from the Western Regions is not easy to deal with, they are cold-resistant and high-enduring, and they will not adapt to the water and soil when they go to the land of Guanzhong, if they kill and sell meat, they will not be able to sell them for a while and a half, and they will not be able to raise the amount of money you mentioned......"

Luo Yu smiled secretly: "What if they are sold to Songtsen Gampo? ”

Li Xiuning was shocked, this horse was originally Jieli and Songtsan Gampo, now Jieli was captured, the first war lost five or six thousand elite divisions, Tubo has been wounded, if this batch of horses is sold to Songtsan Gampo, then their strength has recovered a lot, not to mention how to sell him, even if there is this idea is the enemy, am I wrong about him? He was actually sent by Tubo?

Luo Yu saw Li Xiuning's face of surprise, and then became more and more serious, and hurriedly said: "General, you will first listen to your post and then decide whether to implement the ......"

Li Xiuning smiled: "What's the trick of joining the army? ”

Luo Yu thought about it, stomped on his feet that had been numb from the cold, and said with a smile: "General, the cold comes from the feet, and the shoes are soaked, can you let the subordinates enter the tent to bake ......?"

Li Xiuning said: "It's rude, please come in!" After speaking, he opened the curtain and invited Luo Yu in.

Feet on the edge of the brazier, much more comfortable, wet shoes have been taken off, at the moment is smoking hot, Luo Yu sat down and said to Li Xiuning: "This batch of military horses is impatient to survive in Han, and has been injured a lot, we get them to Hanzhong, not to mention the cost, even if it is the number of dead and injured behind, it is immeasurable, the general must be a man who loves horses, do you just watch them torture to death?" Why not find a suitable person to sell them to Songtsen Gampo while they look fat and strong, so that they can get rid of the transportation of horses and get a considerable amount of money to share with the soldiers. ”

Li Xiuning frowned and thought for a while, and said, "There are always some healthy horses of thousands of horses, and if you sell them all, won't you become a rival?" It's a risky thing to do. ”

Luo Yu smiled: "General, the horses that pass through our hands are still healthy?" I know that a medicine can overdraw my physical strength, and after half a month of eating, I will be alive and vigorous, and after half a month, I will run out of oil and the lamp will dry ......up."

Li Xiuning's eyes flashed with stars, and he said dejectedly for a while: "Then the fate of these horses is too sad......"

Luo Yu didn't know what to say in his heart, the general's love for horses in this era is like the love of cars for men in later generations, and he couldn't say the feeling, seeing that her face was miserable, he comforted: "General, thousands of horses are often there, and Bole is not often, a lot of good horses are wasted in the hands of ignorant people, but that is their fate, non-Bole can not be changed, if these horses with secret injuries are brought back to Hanzhong and Guannei, the subordinates are sure that the end is much worse than their excitement and death after taking medicine." ”

Li Xiuning is not an ordinary woman, this sadness only recovered in an instant, looked at Luo Yu and said: "This matter will be handled according to the intention of joining the army, but this candidate is going to be nerve-wracking......"

Luo Yu didn't speak, the idea came up, and it was not his business to execute, and after informing Li Xiuning of the prescription, he put on dry shoes and walked out of the handsome tent.

At this time, the sky was much brighter than just now, the snow was still falling, dozens of military officers were collecting and dismantling the tents, and then loading the cars and getting ready to go, Li Xiuning called a black strong man to him, talked for a while, gave him a piece of paper, and announced his return to the army.

After the black strong man gave up his hand, he picked more than 20 black men from the queue next to him, stood on the side of the road, and watched the team set off slowly, until they were obscured by the wind and snow, they quickly ran to the horse pen, three or four thousand horses, more than 20 people to raise, it is not an easy task, but fortunately, these horses are military horses, and many passwords can still be understood, which makes them more confident. In the first half of the month, you will have to go to the plateau to try the reaction of Songtsen Gampo.

As long as it is home, no one is afraid of the long way, Li Xiuning has been writing a report on the carriage of the death and disability, and she strives to write clearly every martyr or disabled soldier, so that each family can understand what kind of heroes their sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers are.

The major military leaders are all pressing in front and back, and will disturb Luo Yu in the future, Li Xiuning doesn't know if he explained to them the whereabouts of the military horses, no one talks about it anymore, Luo Yu is also happy to be idle, sitting in the carriage all day long looking at a few ancient books borrowed from Li Xiuning, taking out his mobile phone and taking a picture of all the pages, now the memory of the mobile phone is very large, he deleted everything that can be deleted.

After a day of coming to Bazhong County, the farther north he went, the colder it became, Luo Yu held the improved fire bucket and led the carbon dioxide out of the car with a tube, otherwise it would be a joke to be smoked to death.

Li Xiuning's office has already been improved, she asked the reason, Luo Yu was not easy to explain, only said that the firewood burning was poisonous, and the empty mine was fine, and Li Xiuning ordered the carriages to be arranged in the same way. Luo Yu's last bit of worry was gone, and he read the secretary's experience, and wrote down some military views and thoughts of later generations on paper one by one in traditional Chinese characters for future reference. In her position, she will seek her own politics, and if she sits in the position of joining the army, she must be worthy of Li Xiuning's appreciation, and some of her experiences can be shown to her.

Day and night, walking in the wilderness all the way, Luo Yu opened the door curtain and looked at it a few times, it was a place with undulating mountains, the snow was still falling, but it was a lot smaller, there should be a team shoveling snow in front, and the snow on both sides of the road was piled up like a hill.

On this day, he came to Hanzhong County, which is a strategic place, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, marched into Xianyang from here, and then won the world, of course, this is the history of Luo Yu's time and space. Luo Yu learned from the book that here, Liu Bang passed through Hanzhong, the soldiers came to Xianyang City, the Qin Emperor opened the door and surrendered, Liu Bang founded the country, there was no Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu, there was no Han Xinming to repair the plank road, the darkness of Chen Cang, and there was no Wujiang embattled...... Liu Bang died after two years as emperor, and the later Lu Hou chaos, the rule of Wenjing and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were all similar, the difference was that there was no Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty and changing the Yuan, and the Han Empire continued until the Three Kingdoms period.

The Han Empire attaches great importance to Hanzhong, the south gate of the capital is built to the wall high and wide, the moat is also wide up to three or four zhang, after the three kingdoms of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the reinforcement of each dynasty is rebuilt, to the great cause of five years, it has been the capital of Dayi, with a permanent population of 300,000 people, it is the fourth largest city in Sui except Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou.

The field army is not allowed to enter the city, the law of the Sui and Tang dynasties is the same, in Luo Yu's time and space, Tang Taizong Li Shimin drove the expedition to Liaodong and had to abide by this iron law, and I don't know if there is the same law here.

Luo Yu saw a team of city guards in the dim sky come to Li Xiuning's carriage, Li Xiaogong patted his horse out, took the post in the hand of the head of the guard, and after saying a few words, the guards returned to the city. The moat didn't freeze in such a cold temperature, and it was still steaming, so I guess I had dug up a hot spring. There were many guards standing on the city walls, looking at them with envy. The common people didn't see it, so they should be hiding in the house to roast the fire.

Luo Yu wanted to propose to Li Xiuning to let the frostbitten soldiers soak in the hot springs, so that their injuries could recover as soon as possible, but he found that the team had set off slowly, and it should be Li Xiuning who refused the invitation of the guards in the city and continued to march towards Chang'an.

I don't know if Yang Guang in this time and space will conquer Liaodong three times, so that the Great Sui Empire will fall apart, and the wars will continue, and the common people will suffer. Thinking of Li Shimin's matter again, don't be really stupid, I still expect you to be the founding father.

There are two roads back to Chang'an from Hanzhong, one is the big road, turn east after going north through Chencang, pass Meixian, Wugong, Xianyang and then enter Chang'an, this road is an official road, flat and wide, but the disadvantage is that the road is far away. The other one is to go directly to the north, through Chenggu, Huang'an, Daheba to Chang'an, this road is a small road, the mountains and rivers are sideways on the way, but the advantage is that it is nearly half the distance than the official road. I don't know which path Li Xiuning will choose.

I couldn't think wildly, and if I thought too much, I would be easy to get sleepy, so I tightened the quilt on my body, opened a book and covered my face, and fell asleep with the ups and downs of the carriage.

When he woke up again, it was evening, Shan'er was sitting at the front of the carriage, his small body was tightly wrapped, he was wearing a black fur hat on his head, his ears were wrapped in it, his little face was red from the cold, he saw Luo Yu wake up, and said, "Lord of the army, are you awake?" The general asked the little one to come over. ”

Luo Yuxin said, why did you sleep for so long? Hearing Shan'er say that Li Xiuning asked him to go over, he should have something to discuss, so he got up and put on his coat and fur hat, sorted out the military thoughts written along the way, and got out of the carriage after closing them. At this time, the team had stopped, and they were still burying the pot to make food, and the sergeants were practicing in line, and they were in full swing for a while, and Luo Yu felt that he wanted to practice. As far as the eye can see, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Li Xiuning should have chosen a trail shortcut, in fact, she doesn't have to think about it to know that she will choose this trail, she likes to challenge.

Came to Li Xiuning's carriage and reported his name, Li Xiuning asked him to go in and talk about it, which made Luo Yu embarrassed, although Li Xiuning's carriage was much larger than other carriages, but she also moved the short ones to the carriage so that she could review the documents at any time, and she was writing a report on the casualties and disability all the way, plus she still had a lot of books, and she was also in the carriage, so there was very little room for activities. Luo Yu went up again, and the two were almost about to talk, although Luo Yu was very willing to have a heart-to-heart talk with such a beautiful eldest princess, but reason still made him sober up a lot: "General, you won't go up under your post, you can order if you have something." ”

Li Xiuning lifted the curtain and said angrily: "Come up, afraid that I will eat you?" ”

Luo Yu glanced through the cracks in the curtains, it turned out that the carriage had been emptied except for a few short ones, and the current space was enough to accommodate three or four people. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, after all, he thought too much.

Get into the carriage, sit on your knees in front of the low table, there is still boiling water in the fire bucket next to it, and put a set of tea sets on the low table.

Luo Yu is no stranger to tea, he has learned the tea ceremony in the original time and space, and he doesn't know what the difference is from the current tea ceremony. Li Xiuning also knelt in front of Luo Yu, her face was slightly powdered, her long hair was coiled on the top of her head, revealing a slender jade neck, white and red, which was very good-looking.

Luo Yu didn't dare to look at it anymore, although the physical age was only fifteen years old, but the psychological age was already an uncle in this era, to say that he had no idea about Li Xiuning, it was a lie, but this can only be thought of, the Li family will not marry Li Xiuning to him a nobody, she is eighteen years old this year, according to the historical process of Luo Yu's time and space, she married Chai Shao as his wife, and died at the age of twenty-four, and was trampled into meat by the war horse of Dou Jiande, the monarch of Great Xia, a generation of female generals, just bid farewell to the historical stage, sad and lamentable! Later, Li Shimin destroyed Daxia, and in order to avenge Li Xiuning, he humiliated Dou Jiande as a dog.

After Luo Yu fiddled with the tea set, he seriously brewed tea, washed tea, made tea, poured tea, and ordered tea. Li Xiuning is also strange in his heart, this tea is not ground and not salted, can it be delicious? How does this mountain boy know so much?

Luo Yu took a sip of tea and asked, "I don't know what happened to the general?" ”

Li Xiuning looked at the golden tea in the cup, reached out and took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, it was very fragrant, and then took a sip of tea, swallowed it slowly, tasted it for a while, only to feel that the tea was fragrant, astringent and sweet, and forgot to answer Luo Yu's words for a while, and only came back to his senses when Luo Yu asked again, and said: "What is hidden in the arms of joining the army?" ”

Luo Yu hurriedly took what he wrote to Li Xiuning and said, "This is a little impression of the post, I hope it will help the general." However, don't take your words too seriously. ”

Li Xiuning waved his hand, looked down at his notes, what Luo Yu wrote was nothing more than various tactical ideas of his time, but he first made a new interpretation of the word strategy. In fact, until 2022, that is, the era in which Luo Yu lived, no one could give an accurate definition of the word strategy.

Luo Yu chose a more accepted statement: in a general sense, the word strategy can be defined as "the policy, method and plan that guides the overall work and determines the overall destiny." "Strategy arises from the practice of war and has been used in the military field for a long time, and its original meaning is military strategy, and all the contents related to the preparation and implementation of war and the building and use of military forces are all strategies.

He distinguished between strategy and tactics, so that Li Xiuning could intuitively feel the difference between strategy and tactics, and then there were summaries and examples of various military thoughts, of course, the examples were all changed, and all of them were fictional in ancient battlefields.

Some traditional characters can't be written, the brush has been used in later generations, but most of the time it is written in large characters such as Spring Festival couplets, and it is too difficult to write small characters in this book, most of the last time the training site was painted, there are not many words, you can write it slowly, but this time it is difficult, and I don't know if Li Xiuning can understand it.

Luo Yu didn't eat at noon, and now he smelled the aroma of the food and was already hungry, seeing that Li Xiuning wouldn't care about him for a while, he got up and got out of the carriage, Shan'er is really a good follower, he has brought dinner for two.

There are no green vegetables to eat in the winter, a big spoonful of horse meat for one person, and a little dried vegetables that I don't know what kind of green vegetables, Luo Yu tasted it, a musty smell, and saw that Shan'er liked to eat it, so he gave it to him.

The horse meat is very woody, the fishy smell is heavy, the spices of this era are limited, it is good to be able to make it like this, I forcibly ate a piece, I really can't eat it.

I ate a bowl of sorghum rice with egg drop soup and vowed never to eat sorghum rice again, this thing tastes really bad, and it is serious to use it to make wine.

Li Xiuning finally finished reading Luo Yu's notes, she forgot to eat for a while, and after ordering the military leaders to set up camp, she invited Li Xiaogong and Luo Yu over. Luo Yu saw Li Xiaogong holding his notes, his eyes were as if he was staring at it, looking at it word by word, as if he had obtained a treasure.
