It was the fourth day of August in the fifth year of Kaiping.

Thousands of cavalry passed through the eastern part of Gaoyang Plain and arrived outside Dingning Prefecture County.

The county magistrate Qi Wei led his officials and people to greet him outside the east gate. He walked straight in front of Pei Yue's horse and paid homage. At the same time, he said with a flattering smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Qi Wei, pays homage to the Imperial Envoy Lord Pei."

"No need." Pei Yue responded calmly.

Qi Wei straightened up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in accordance with the instructions of the messenger you sent, I have prepared the doctor, medicinal materials, ginseng, donkey carts, ropes, quicklime and other things overnight."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

Without waiting for Qi Wei to continue flattering, Pei Yue turned to Wei Rui and said: "Take the doctor to check on the injuries of the brothers, and then maintain them in a safe way. I have sent people to Xingyang City in advance to summon famous doctors. There will be better things there.

The therapeutic effect.”

Wei Rui took the order and left.

The army has two military doctors and some simple wound medicine, so it is not a big problem to deal with minor injuries. However, in this battle, 47 Tibetan front guards were seriously injured and disabled. The simple wartime conditions can only temporarily save their lives. Pei Yue advanced

He sent someone to Daoxian County with the imperial envoy's seal, and specifically asked Qi Wei to prepare ginseng just in case.

Wei Rui acted vigorously and resolutely. He immediately ordered people to build simple wooden beds beside the road, and then asked doctors to treat the wounded soldiers on the spot.

Qi Wei was so dumbfounded that he forgot to compliment the promising young man in front of him.

Pei Yue said again: "Fu Hongzhi, get the quicklime and finish the matter. Let the slightly injured brother ride in the donkey cart. This place is still far from Xingyang, and bumpy riding will aggravate the injury."

"Follow the order!"

Fu Hongzhi answered with his hands raised and rode away.

Qi Wei couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked: "Sir, may I ask what is the use of this quicklime?"

Pei Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to know?"

Qi Wei nodded repeatedly and said, "Please Sir, please help me clear up my doubts."

"You come with me."

Pei Yue turned his horse back, and Qi Wei immediately called on several subordinate officers to follow him.

Arriving at the rear of the team, the first thing Qi Wei saw was more than two hundred thieves surrounded by cavalry. The soldiers of the Zangfeng Guard were binding the hands of these people with the long ropes he sent and connecting them together. His eyes were directed towards

Moving to the left, the young general named Fu Hongzhi directed his soldiers to get quicklime and wrap the objects piled on the ground next to them with quicklime and apply it.

Qi Wei took a closer look and saw that all the things piled on the ground were human heads!

This is a hill made of human heads.

A young officer behind him immediately rushed to the roadside and retched.

Qi Wei is in his forties this year. He has been a county magistrate on the border for more than ten years. He has never been able to go further. After seeing Pei Yue's messenger, he was ecstatic and just wanted to hug this man from Kyoto. Daoxian County

In Lingzhou, a lower-level county, Qi Wei had tried his best to fulfill Pei Yue's request. At this moment, looking at the heads with ferocious faces, he suppressed the nausea in his chest and abdomen, unwilling to embarrass himself in front of this young powerful man.

Lost face.

Pei Yue looked at him expressionlessly and asked: "County Magistrate Qi, do you know where these heads come from?"

Qi Wei was so blessed at this moment that he replied in a trembling voice: "Could it be the heads of those Western Wu cavalry?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Yes, there are still some Daliang scum who colluded with Xiwu."

The sound of fighting outside the city the night before resounded throughout the world. Qi Wei huddled in the back house and did not fall asleep the whole night. When he heard Pei Yue's affirmative reply, he said with surprise and joy: "I congratulate your lord for clearing out the traitors."

, return to Lingzhou one

Let me clarify! Your Majesty has killed countless enemies in this battle and is unparalleled in bravery. He is actually a loyal minister and good general of the country! I have thanked your Lordship for your great kindness and kindness on behalf of the people of this county. From now on, every household will enshrine your Lordship’s longevity tablet!"

If it were the past, Pei Yue would definitely kick him away. After all, no one wants to listen to such rough flattery.

But at this time he did nothing, and even showed a slight expression of appreciation.

Qi Weiwei was inspired and immediately praised Pei Yue to the sky, as if hundreds of nobles in the great beam were nothing compared to him, and he could easily defeat the Western Wu army with just one move.

Ye Qi in the distance frowned slightly. Although Pei Yue told him the purpose of doing this, she only felt very disgusted listening to these extremely disgusting compliments.

"Okay, Magistrate Qi, just take them back."

Pei Yue finally spoke and interrupted Qi Wei who was talking endlessly.

The latter's mouth was dry when he heard the words. He was stunned when he heard this and said cautiously: "Sir, since you have arrived outside the city, why don't you go into the city to rest for half a day and have a glass of wine?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "No need, many brothers are seriously injured, and we still need to return to Xingyang for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."

Tears welled up in Qi Wei's eyes, and he said with emotion: "Your Majesty loves soldiers as much as his own son, how can he not win every battle? The lower officials are stupid and stupid, and they are not as good as your Majesty."

Pei Yue wanted to punch his old wrinkled face.

After a while, Pei Yue said goodbye to Gu Mang and led the army south.

The news that the Tibetan Front Guards had wiped out the Western Wu cavalry spread. The people on the roadside looked at the scarred cavalrymen on their armors, as well as the wounded soldiers and heads on the donkey carts behind them. An old man suddenly took the lead and knelt down by the roadside, followed by all the others.

The people all knelt down and shouted words of gratitude.

Even Ye Qi was slightly moved by this scene.

She could naturally see the difference between these simple people and the hateful-looking bureaucrats like Qi Wei.

Pei Yue clearly felt that the morale of the team had reached a new peak.

Most of these soldiers have not studied for a few years. They fought bravely before, partly because the military regulations of the Zangfeng Guards were extremely strict, and partly because Pei Yue, Wei Rui and others set an example. But in the end, they still lacked a person who came from the heart.

The reason. At this moment, looking at the sincere-looking people on the roadside, listening to their continuous shouting of gratitude and gratitude, everyone involuntarily straightened their chests, their expressions were uncontrollable, even the wounded soldiers on the donkey carts could not help but express their excitement.

exception.

From now on, perhaps they will understand better the principles of protecting the land and bringing peace to the people.

The Zangfengwei went all the way south, not very fast, and would inevitably stop for supplies every time they arrived at the county seat.

The news of the destruction of the Western Wu Cavalry flew across the land of Lingzhou like wings. The Zangfeng Guards were welcomed more and more warmly, like real heroes. At the same time, the news that the Zangfeng Guards were about to recruit troops in Lingzhou also followed.

Word spread, and countless young elites immediately rushed to Linqing County, where they were temporarily stationed, and it gradually started to spread across the prairie fire.

Under this brilliant situation, Pei Yue allowed more than 200 lightly wounded people to stay in Linqing County to recuperate, and then arrived at Xingyang City with seriously injured soldiers, more than a thousand heads, and more than 200 prisoners surrounded by the remaining soldiers.

The streets of this thousand-year-old city were actually deserted. Countless dignitaries and ordinary people flocked outside the city, just to see with their own eyes the imperial envoy who had returned from the victory.

In the governor's house, Liu Renji kept pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
