Chapter 172, Post-war discussions
The sky is gradually getting brighter. After a war, there is a long silence after the charge and fighting. A strong and pungent smell of blood lingers in this world for a long time, but for those who are in it, it seems that there is no trace of it.
Maybe they are used to it, or maybe their attention has been attracted by other things and they have no time to take care of it.
After the war, the battlefield was filled with smoke. There were still unburned torches, which fell among the corpses everywhere and started the cremation process on their own. No one paid attention to them, as if they were waiting for them to go out on their own.
Didi, didi...
At first it was just one drop, or two drops, and then a series of pattering raindrops, like the tears of the goddess in the sky, connecting the sky and the earth.
The rain came without warning, but it came at the right time, extinguishing the flames of burning corpses, clearing the chaotic battlefield, and even cleansing the complicated hearts of Nanming, the soldiers of both sides after the war, regardless of victory or defeat.
Under a raised rock formation in Dacheng Fortress, Xun You, who was temporarily sheltering from the rain, said "Hey...", filled with infinite melancholy and thoughts.
"Why are Gongda sighing?" Xun You was startled by the sudden voice from behind. He turned around when he reacted, and saw Liang Le looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. The light in his eyes seemed to be completely involved.
His thoughts were broken, and Xun You couldn't help but blush at this time despite his temperament. After a while, he coughed lightly and said: "Hmm, why did the good sacrifice wine appear here?"
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Marquis Wen asked Le to call Gongda to attend the post-war summary meeting." As he said that, he glanced at Xun You on both sides.
Of course, Xun You cannot be alone. He is always accompanied by two guards, but at such times they will close their ears.
The so-called post-war summary meeting in Liangle's mouth actually came from Lu Bu's mouth. He said it in a convoluted way, but this was not the first time. Lu Bu had already introduced this concept into the military during the battle between Hebei and Quyi.
, so even Xun You is no stranger to it, because he came here with Lu Bu and actually only participated in two military meetings. One was when he was in Yang County, Xi Anyang, and the other was before the battle of Dacheng Fortress, planning this outing.
This is the third attempt to lure the enemy.
Of course, this was also Xun You's first time to attend a post-war military conference. He had heard about it a long time ago and couldn't help but be curious about what Marquis Wen had tinkered with this time.
In fact, Xun You's attitude toward Lu Bu changed subtly several times in succession. A big reason was that many of Lu Bu's actions aroused his curiosity.
It should be noted that people are born with curiosity. It is absolutely impossible for people to grow up without curiosity. However, if curiosity is placed in an inappropriate place in this world, good things will go wrong. As for whether it will end up being good or bad.
The direction of development is difficult for anyone to predict.
It was Xun You's curiosity that made him want to know Lu Bu more and more, and the more he understood Lu Bu, the so-called never surrender in his heart was shaken unconsciously. Lu Bu naturally saw this, so
I have to take him out on this expedition, hoping to have a chance to make him return home completely.
It's a pity that Xun You hasn't made it clear yet. A discerning person like Liang Le can see that his heart is wavering a little bit, but Liang Le can also understand that this is not a personal matter after all, and there is no need for him to be like this.
There are too many considerations. Anyway, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. Whatever decision he makes, he only has to bear the consequences. But behind Xun You, there is the Xun family.
Regardless of the fact that the Xun family is one of the top aristocratic families in Yingchuan. Even though it has a good reputation in the world, it is still just a family. Now that Yingchuan is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo is not dealing with Lu Bu, he Xun Youruo is
If you vote for Lu Bu, there is no guarantee that Dong Zhuo will not be provoked.
He is dissatisfied, and Xun You is here alone. The problem is that Xun Yu is also here. No one knows Xun Shuang's true identity, which is negligible, but for aristocratic families who tend not to put all their eggs in one basket
Say, this is obviously not a good choice.
Of course, Xun Yu and he have not made a decision yet, but Xun You knows in his heart that it is only a matter of time before they are here with Lu Bu. Judging from how shaken he is now, is his uncle Xun Yu much better than him?
Just like Xun Yu once said in front of Xun You, Lu Bu's method of imprisoning their uncle and nephew may not be very bright, but doesn't it also show that he values the two of them? This sentence may not seem to mean much, but it already
This shows that Xun Yu will not resist Lu Bu.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Xun You couldn't control his inner curiosity. He also had another thought that was about to move. Just when he was about to refuse, he said: "Please ask Boyu to lead the way!"
Liangle's eyes flashed and he suddenly smiled meaningfully...
The interior of the Great Fortress is not small, but it cannot accommodate the tens of thousands of soldiers, so most of them set up tents to get things done. However, Lu Bu held this post-war military meeting in a small room inside the Great Fortress.
Moreover, the military discussion had to wait until Liangle general Xun You came and saw that most of his civil and military men had arrived before he started.
This seemingly ordinary move actually caused quite a stir in Xun You's heart, but Lu Bu didn't know this either.
In fact, the content of the post-war military conference was nothing more than the post-war casualty statistics. Those who could be treated should be treated immediately. This depended on Hua Tuo and his army medical team. Those who could not be treated but were still alive were distributed.
Pension and dismissal back home,
This requires detailed discussion and planning by Lu Cui, Liang Le and others. As for the dead bodies, they need to be buried on the spot, but they need to be recorded. In addition to providing pensions to their families, it is also for the purpose of establishing the warriors Lu Bu envisioned in the future.
For cemetery purposes.
Of course, it is still too far to think about these now. Besides, there is the issue of prisoners of war. This is an important issue. You must know that there are 40,000 Huns prisoners of war this time, which is more than the number of their own troops. Maybe they will be
Arranging to do hard work is a good idea, but it is not a long-term solution. This point needs to be considered in the long term.
In addition, there is another matter, which is the appointment of the prefect of Shuofang County and officials at all levels, especially the post of prefect, which is of vital importance.
Although Lu Bu has already made up his mind, he still needs to make it clear to everyone. He also asked Lu Yan to lead Shuofang Prefect on his behalf, but just in case, he still needs to find someone to assist him. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he can still
After all, he has no practical experience, and it will be difficult to convince the public by hastily letting him take on such an important position, which will lead to a series of problems. If one person is not handled well, then this good situation will be lost. Lu Bu does not want to see this kind of situation.
situation.
Moreover, Lu Bu knew very well that cultivating talents cannot be done by pulling out the seedlings, otherwise it will only be nothing.
"What do you think?"
After Lu Bu announced his decision, he asked everyone.
At this time, he looked relaxed. He had taken off his armor and crown, and was only wearing casual clothes. At this time, he had long lost the heroic look that he had on the battlefield, and his heroic face also showed a bit of the elegance of a scribe.
.
But before anyone could answer him, he heard an announcement from outside: "Reporting to Marquis Wen, Muma Teng from Liangzhou sent an envoy, requesting to see Marquis Wen..."
