The Shenwu Army is difficult to withdraw, the entire empire is instantly quiet, the millions of troops of the Shenwu Army are all southerners, and the south has been providing sufficient support to the Shenwu Army over the years, so that the Shenwu Army can get a steady stream of soldiers to replenish even if it encounters a big war on the front line. Liu Fan was difficult to withdraw with his soldiers and horses this time, and almost all the soldiers and horses followed south, except for the Aobai Department that was still renting to fight, the rest of the troops had already been collected. This time, the Shenwu army went out, a total of more than 6 million troops, of which more than 2 million were killed in battle alone, and nearly 300 million people in the south supported the 6 million army. The Shenwu Army has already sorted out the list of all the fallen soldiers, and there are not a few generals who have died in battle.

"My lord, the roster of the fallen soldiers under General Li Jing has been sorted out, the bodies of all the soldiers have been cremated, and the ashes have been sent to the martyrs' shrine in Yangzhou, and the rest of the armies have collected more than half of the bodies of the fallen soldiers, especially the bodies of the fallen soldiers under General Pang Juan, all of which disappeared with the fire. Wang Jian rode a war horse to Liu Fan's side and said to Liu Fan, this time the entire empire is a battlefield, and there are not a few fallen soldiers in the Shenwu Army, as soon as the war is over this time, the time to collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers begins, but this matter is also extremely complicated, and the combat battlefield of the Shenwu Army is too wide.

"My lord, this time the battlefield of our Shenwu Army's operations is too wide, and our army's operations are from south to north, especially the brothers who are fighting in Yongzhou. Now only the list remains, and the remains of many soldiers have not been recovered. Only the list remains. Ao Wang Jian took out a thick list from his arms and said to Liu Fan. Liu Fan took the list in his hand and opened it to see that there were dense lists of the dead written everywhere, these names were still lively people many days ago, but now they have become black lists, Liu Fan's heart Gordon is really a success, this list is full of white bones, Liu Fan slowly closed the list in his hand.

"Kong Ming, how is the bereavement work? You must give me a good place to appease the families of these who died in battle, they sacrificed for the sake of this empire. They must not be treated badly to their families. Liu Fan said to Zhuge Liang, who was following him, and at the same time glanced at the generals under his command and said: "This time, after we have rectified the army in Yizhou, we will collectively transfer to various places to assist in defense, and send orders to all prefectures and counties, if anyone dares to embarrass the families of these fallen soldiers, they will be severely punished." ”

"Rest assured, my lord, we have organized special personnel to take care of the families of these fallen soldiers, and no one will be wronged. Zhuge Liang said respectfully to Liu Fan, of course the generals under Liu Fan's command knew that Liu Fan's compensation for the dead soldiers was very favorable. All the generals under Liu Fan's command naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and all of them were in good spirits to deal with this matter. Zhuge Liang personally supervised this matter. Liu Fan also nodded heavily after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, with Zhuge Liang's intervention in this matter, there is no need for Liu Fan to worry. Zhuge Liang's ability is still very reassuring to Liu Fan, at least Zhuge Liang will not let anything go wrong in this matter.

"Well, you must handle this matter for me, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise I will never spare it. Liu Fan said sharply to the generals under his command, and everyone was shocked, and they all agreed in unison. The army of the Shenwu Army walked on the land of Yuzhou, every soldier was resolute, but everyone's face showed infinite ease, although they did not achieve the final victory in this war, but they are undoubtedly the victors of this war, no matter on which front they are relying on absolutely weak troops to resist the enemy's superior strength, they are worthy of pride, they are real heroes, especially after Liu Fan passed down the order to compensate the fallen soldiers, the soldiers cheered in unison, what are these soldiers on the battlefield for, isn't it military meritNow that they have military merits, they can let their families enjoy a more prosperous life, and they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that no one will take care of them after they die.

After entering the boundary of Yangzhou, the whole scene suddenly became lively, countless people stood on the side of the road and cheered, Yangzhou did not experience any war, since the pacification of Yangzhou, the whole south except Jiaozhou did not have any war, the only role of the whole south is to continue to provide Liu Fan with soldiers and logistics of food and grass. In particular, Yangzhou is the main logistics base of Liu Fan, providing Liu Fan with a large number of corps, and almost every household in Yangzhou has school-age children to join the army. This time the army returned, these people naturally couldn't help but stand on the side of the road waiting for their sons, waiting for their grandchildren, even if they knew that it was very slim to find their sons and relatives in the army of millions, but they were willing to wait, because this is still their children's soldiers, this is their army, this is still their army composed of relatives.

"Lord, with the people so loving us, why don't we worry about the great cause!" Guo Jia rode a war horse and followed Liu Fan's side, looking at the people who were constantly cheering on the side of the road, a rare smile appeared on his face, but before Liu Fan could answer, Guo Jia's words turned around and said lightly to Liu Fan: "Lord, you see that among these people, there are only a very small number of young and middle-aged people, and the rest are ordinary people, how many old people or teenagers, lord, Yangzhou can no longer move." ”

"Yes, Yangzhou's burden is too heavy. Jia Xu said in a low voice on the side: "Lord, every time the front-line battle in Yangzhou has been large-scale conscription in recent years, all the people of Yangzhou are enthusiastic to join the army, many families are three or four people in the army, many family members are father and son in the army, and the grain and grass in Yangzhou over the years have been very heavy and the logistics supply consumption is also very powerful, and now there is not much grain and grass in Yangzhou's warehouse. ”

"Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, are our production areas, and now even Yangzhou has no grain and grass to support the front-line operations, I am afraid that the situation in Xuzhou and Jingzhou is not much better. Liu Fan said to Jia Xu sadly: "This time our army drove directly to Yangzhou City to station, and all the generals followed me to Yangzhou City to worship the souls of the fallen soldiers, and ordered the army to speed up its advance and strive to reach Yangzhou City in five days."
