Chapter 59: City of Lights Like Day

Jiuquan City was brightly lit all night, and cheers and screams came one after another. During the festival, Lu Guang feasted the generals and celebrated the victory of the soldiers of the three armies!
The battlefield has been initially cleaned up, and the preliminary statistics surprised Duan Ye a little. He expected that this battle would be won, but it would also be a residual victory with great losses. However, in the end, the Lu army lost about 5,000 people and seriously injured about 3,000 people, which means that less than 8,000 people were lost. However, 14,000 bodies of Liangzhou Army were left on the battlefield! And 10,000 prisoners were also captured, including those who fell behind, those who were abandoned and those who were injured. Overall, the Liangzhou Army lost at least 30,000 troops, and the Liangzhou Army lost all its vitality in one battle.
In addition, Liangzhou Army commander and general Liang Yin were beheaded, general Wei Han committed suicide, Juqu Luo Qiu was seriously injured, and other middle and low-level generals were killed. It can be asserted that all the elite troops of Liangzhou Army were lost and generals died, so there would definitely be no power to turn the tables. In other words, the overall situation in Liangzhou has been decided! Liang Xi was destined to hand over the rule of Liangzhou.
The only thing that made Duan Ye feel a little distressed about such a big victory was the Jiuquan Army he had just formed. It just recovered the morale of the army, and nearly 2,300 people were lost in this battle. Fortunately, the key commander of the Bo Chang brigade had only lost a small part, which made Duan Ye feel a little more at ease.
Those who have lost can be replaced in the future, and they can take the opportunity to join the Manichi power. The most important thing is that only the army tempered on the battlefield can have the ability to fight, fight tough battles, and win battles. Duan Ye is not worried. What's more, this time he made great contributions, and Lu Guang has already said that he should reward him heavily. Although he doesn't know what it will be, it is impossible to pass on such a great contribution with nothing. He has to give some real things, whether it is people, money, or seals. Duan Ye needs it very much. Now Duan Ye has absolute confidence in everything he has, and he believes that his ideals can be realized step by step.
In addition, Duan Ye was the first in his discussion of merits, Peng Feng and Tufa Sifu ranked second in the second place. Lu Guang personally toasted him at the festival, and the generals also gave him a drink to congratulate him. Duan Ye was in a good mood and refused to accept everyone. Every cup must be clear. There are all generous people in the army. Seeing Duan Ye so bright, he was naturally very happy, so he chuckled and chatted, and finally he parted with joy.
The night is beautiful. Due to the victory of the war, the people in the city have firmly believed that the wind direction has completely changed, and Lu Guang can firmly sit in Liangzhou. The reinforcements of the Liangzhou army were all defeated, and Lu Guang will only continue to fight eastward, which means that Jiuquan City will become the rear and they will get peace again.
The people's requirements are not high. As long as there is peace and stability, as long as the government does not oppress them and let them work and live their own good life, they will most likely pay enough taxes honestly and live their own lives. Although the former prefect of Jiuquan City, Song Hao, was considered a bastard, to be honest, they have lived quite well in the past ten years. After a brief turmoil and anxiety, they are expected to continue to live a comfortable life.
Duan Ye was wearing a regular suit and a cloak, strolling on the streets of Jiuquan. Duan Ping and others followed behind and escorted him back to his residence. Due to the victory of the war, Lu Guang was happy during the festival and announced that the martial law in Jiuquan City was lifted and merchants were allowed to open their doors. Everything in Jiuquan City will return to normal from now on.
This decision is naturally very popular. Jiuquan City has been silent for a while. Now that the ban is lifted, merchants have opened their doors to take back the losses these days. Citizens who have been at home for a long time have also taken to the streets, both for purchasing and for a walk on the street to relieve their mood.
After all, life is the eternal theme.
People come and go, hawking, and exchange prices are heard one after another. The staff of the restaurants and restaurants are everywhere, and lanterns are already hung in many places. The people in Jiuquan are kind and optimistic, and they have begun a new life.
Although it is not Lantern Festival or any other festival, for a long time, Jiuquan has lived a prosperous life and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they all like to hang lanterns in the night market. Now, looking around, it is bright and there are people passing by, and it is so beautiful.
Duan Ye was walking on the street with satisfaction, watching people with happy expressions walking past him, watching them buy jewelry to please the girls around him, to buy lanterns and go back to hang them, to see them having a fierce confrontation with the merchants, and finally both sides made a makeshift and reached a deal with a laugh. Duan Ye was very happy.
This is life! The most important thing for those who rule the country is to let the people live a good life.
"Sir, it's getting late, let's go back." Duan Ping said after all, he had the responsibility of guarding.
"Hahaha, it's okay. I haven't recovered from fighting for several days recently. Now I've been wandering around the streets and my mood has improved a lot. Let's take a walk around again. Besides, Xiao Chu is here, it's okay." Duan Ye said with a smile.
Xiao Chu was Chu Yunshen who was calling that day. Duan Ye was very satisfied with his performance that time. Then he tried his skills. He was very comprehensive, his martial arts were pretty good, and his mind was meticulous. The key was that this person had a skill, which was that he was quick to react and had a sharp intuition. He could quickly sense possible dangers, and he also knew the words and looked pretty good. He was happy to see it, so Duan Ye asked him to be his own guard.
After all, Duan Ping is the one who will be the only one in the future. It is really bad to stay by his side as a guard. It is not conducive to his development and prestige, but also to spend talents.
"Sir, although Jiuquan City has been settled, the thieves will never stop easily. Now that he is famous, it is better to be careful." After all, Xiao Chu has a responsibility, so he still advised Duan Ye to go back early.
"Oh, what are you afraid of?" Duan Ye shook his head and was about to persevere, but seeing that Xiao Chu and Duan Ping were both embarrassed, he had to compromise and said, "Okay, okay, walk through this street and let's go back, okay?"
"As for the order!" Duan Ping and Xiao Chu breathed a sigh of relief. The street was clear at a glance. Although there were many people, it didn't seem to be dangerous, so the two nodded.
Looking at the big girls and wives passing by, they were all graceful and pretty, and their eyes were quite hot when they looked at him. However, after all, Duan Ye was still following a group of people, so it was not convenient to tease him openly in the street, so he had to look at them lustfully for a while, sweeping over them with their swaying figures, and finally watching them disappear deep in the street.
It is natural that he is a little owed if he can see but not eat. Duan Ye shook his head and sighed: "The old saying goes, the moon rises to the willows, and after the evening, people make an appointment, and now it is considered as the street lights like day. Unfortunately, the beauty is so fragrant that it is hard to smell."
Xiao Chu is also quite fond of poetry and prose. When he heard these sentences so wonderfully, he knew Duan Ye was approachable and said with interest: "My lord is so elegant and so exciting. Xiao Chu has already recorded it. If the master compiles poetry and prose in the future, this little lord will be considered a rare masterpiece."
Duan Ye smiled. This is Xin Jiaxuan's lyrics, how dare I take it? Just as I was about to refuse, I heard a loud voice saying, "Brother Duan is so elegant, it's even more a quatrain! Now the beauty is here, do you dare to smell the fragrance?"
Looking in the sound, a beautiful woman in white stood there with her hands smiling and holding her hands. Her little braids looked quite wild, and her beautiful eyes were like crescent-shaped smiles. Although she was dressed as a Han family, she was less reserved as a lady and more heroic as a grassland daughter. That wasn't a bald spirit, who was it?
Duan Ye was surprised and happy. He was about to rush up to hug the hateful and cute woman and love her to love her. But when he heard a light cough behind him, Duan Ping said in an inverted voice: "Sir, I have an urgent official business."
Duan Ye was a little annoyed, "Have official business? What official business is there at this time?"
Looking back, Duan Ping's face was full of cramps and Chu Yunshen's expression was slightly awkward, and he knew that Duan Ping didn't want to be a light bulb. Even though Duan Ye had already had a thick skin, his face was redder now, and he jumped and said, "What do you mean? I... I just met... the bald girl by chance, and I'm going to talk about the past, you..."
"No!" Duan Ping said boldly, "Duan Ping really has official duties. Now he has approved a piece of weapons and armor. He needs to pay for himself. He should not leave his post and go shopping without permission. He came here to ask for instructions."
"I'll ask for instructions! Get out! Get out!" Duan Ye waved his sleeves in a fit of anger. Duan Ping was clearly making fun of him. Anyway, his relationship with Duan Ping will be very deep in the future, so there is no need to deliberately maintain it with good words, so he drove them away like mosquitoes.
Seeing Duan Ping pulling Xiao Chu with a look of embarrassing face and running away, Duan Ye came to his senses and laughed dryly, "Look, they have official duties, hehe, so..."
"Oh, I can't tell that you are so majestic now." The bald spirit shook his head, looking admiring.
"Hey, where is it?" Duan Ye rubbed his hands and said in surprise: "Why are you here at this time?"
"Not welcome? Then I'll leave." The bald spirit was still so fierce that he turned around and was about to leave.
But Duan Ye had been holding it in for a long time, so how could he let the fat meat in his mouth fly? He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the bald spirit, and smiled and said, "You bad girl, since you are here, do you still want to run away?"
"What are you...what are you going to do?" Bald spirit rolled her eyes, looking very scared, but her curved eyebrows exposed her cramps.
"I want to talk to you!" Duan Ye felt the softness of the beauty's simple hands and said "viciously": "I want to teach you the principles of being a human being! Talk to you about life and ideals."
After saying these words in later generations were a bit outdated, Duan Ye felt a little shameless, but for some reason, the bald spirit lowered his head shyly, moved his eyelashes slightly, looked up prettyly, and then lowered his head.
No! No! Duan Ye only felt that the charm was so beautiful that this girl learned this?
When he had an idea in his mind, his eyes became much hotter when he looked at the beauty. Seeing this, Bald Ling cleverly broke free from Duan Ye's big hand and said shyly: "Don't... don't be here."
