"You shouldn't have let them go. As soon as they left, you gave them food and war horses. Others would be moved when they saw it. We brought them back thousands of miles all the way. Is it just to go their separate ways after we come back?"
Li Bi is teaching Li Po again, and what he says makes sense.?.??`c?o?m
Although these more than a thousand people are not soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, even ordinary farm boys can be sharpened by the wind, frost, rain and snow in Liaodong after this trip, not to mention these people are all serious soldiers.
Already.
It can be said that this is the largest fortune they brought back from Liaodong.
According to Li Bi's wishes, no matter where you come from, you must bring them back to Mayi. No one should be missing. If you raise them for a while, Mayi will be able to have an extra strong force.
Of course, before going to conquer Goguryeo, Li Bi would have to consider whether there would be any extra soldiers in Mayi's army.
But there is no need to worry about this now. More than 300,000 troops have been annihilated in Liaodong. The whole court and the David's Mansion must be in a state of distress.
However, places like Shandong and Hebei, including Henan, Guanxi and other places, will also have to make up for the shortage of soldiers. Those who take the opportunity to expand the army must be everywhere. Mayi is also a frontier fortress, so it is even more important.
It's natural.
The imperial court could not stop this trend, and maybe after this battle, many of the military systems enacted by Emperor Wen would collapse.
In short, Li Po let these dozen people go, and then left some more one after another, which made Li Bi feel very distressed.
It can be seen that what she said to the brigade marshals before was just for the occasion, but if anyone wanted to lead his troops to leave, she would definitely persuade them later. If that didn't work, she wouldn't mind killing a few of the leaders.
Force everyone to stay.
This is the typical idea of a wealthy family member, and it is also one of the causes of the turmoil in the world to this day.
However, Li Po's answer was very straightforward, "We have been out for more than a year, and everyone is eager to return home...?`c?o?m?Nothing strange..."
Li Bi stared sideways at the side, obviously not believing every word he said, so she almost said, you are talking nonsense again.
Li Po curled his lips and changed his explanation. "Well, I think there may be chaos in Shandong and Hebei. When we left, we heard a lot of rumors. By now, it will probably only become more chaotic.
"
"Sooner or later, this news will reach Mayi. Even if they form an army, their morale will be shaken. These people from Shandong and Hebei all have parents and brothers. Instead of causing trouble at that time, it is better to let them go now.
Let them go back and take a look."
"Some people don't have to count on it, but some people will definitely come back to Mayi. In addition to letting us hear about this, hey, the general trend of the world, it can also make other people feel at ease, don't you think?"
This answer was more vague, but to Li Bi's ears, it sounded much more real, and it was barely an acceptable reason.
In fact, what she didn't know was that, if possible, Li Po wanted to send away all the people from Shandong and Hebei who wanted to go home. Those who could get out of Liaodong were all grass-headed kings.
Mayi is actually a pretty quiet place as long as the Turks don't come.
With these guys, maybe when the world is in chaos, they will bring disaster to Mayi. Why not let them all go and let them work hard in Shandong and Hebei.
This is completely different from the thinking of generals in the army, and Li Bi cannot understand it. The reason is also very simple. Even though he has traveled around Liaodong, Li Po does not have much consciousness of leading troops to fight everywhere.
How many people dominate the world, and how many people dominate, in his opinion, it has nothing to do with him. With Li Jing here in Mayi, he should be able to guarantee a pure land.
Of course, it won't take long for his lack of ambition to make progress disappear.
Li Bi now seems to obey Li Po's words. Along the way, when she is angry, only Li Po can persuade her. When she is worried, Li Po can make her worries disappear with a few words. However,
, when she is happy, only Li Po can make her throw away her good mood with just a few words.?.?`
With such a rhythm, the final result will definitely only be about men and women.
Li Bi has a relatively clear understanding, and Li Po is not unaware, but there is a wide gap between the two, and it is no joke to cross it.
Therefore, with their minds, no one would point it out. That would be just asking for trouble.
The soldiers' hard hearts and decisive actions are clearly reflected in them.
So, when someone wanted to leave later, Li Bi didn't stop him
Some people stayed, and some people left. Li Bi had a clear grasp of the soldiers' thoughts. If someone took the lead, others would follow. In the end, only a little over a thousand people were left in the team of more than 1,400 people.
Son.
A thousand people walked through the Batu Caves with difficulty, stepping on the snow and braving the strong northwest wind.
This time, no more bandits will appear on both sides of the Batu Caves. There are not many horses left, and many people have become foot soldiers again. However, after some decisions about whether to stay or go, they are united more closely and firmly.
After walking out of Batu Caves and walking through Lingqiu Road, they finally entered Yanmen's rule.
We didn't stop at Yanmen County, but passed directly through Lingqiu County, along the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain, and entered Mayi County. Not far away, we reached the Yunnei Racecourse.
Once here, Li Po felt a little like returning home.
There are no trains or planes, it's just inconvenient. I went out to fight for more than a year, and the pace is too slow. I have to think carefully when I go out in the future, otherwise, my head may be gray when I come back.
indefinite.
Not long after the person who reported the news returned, horses hooves appeared in the direction of Yunnei, and human figures moved around, giving more than a thousand people a false alarm.
More than 20 people were welcomed out of Yunnei Racecourse, and the boss was also driven away with a group of war horses. This scene, this scene, greatly satisfied Li Po's vanity.
There is no need to ask the leader, who could it be if it were not Yuen Long and Li Chun.
Both guys have grown a lot, especially Yuen Long. Not only has he grown a short beard after not seeing each other for a year, but his body is also a whole lot bigger than when Li Po and others left.
He eats well, sleeps soundly, and with his long body, he doesn't look like he is the elder's biological son.
Li Chun also grew taller. When he saw Li Po, who was leading the group, he cried and screamed and rushed forward.
Li Po originally had a strong sense of happiness, but he didn't expect this crazy girl to jump off his horse.
Damn, Li Po, who was already so thin and light, was suddenly knocked over. His body hurt.
Although such a strong way of expressing emotions was nothing in terms of the relatively open folk customs of the Sui Dynasty, it still made people around me look a bit straight-eyed.
Especially those from Hebei and Shandong, they all thought that this must be Li Canjun's daughter-in-law. Tsk, tsk, look at the intimacy, can Li Canjun's small body bear it?
Li Po stood up from the ground with a grin on his face, and a wombat hung directly from his body.
He reached out and wanted to give this girl a slap, but he still didn't have the heart to do so. He touched Li Chun's head. The stiff muscles on his face seemed to have relaxed. He felt cheerful, and he felt a bit like an eldest brother and a loving father.
.
Yuen Long also came to meet me, so needless to say it was a surprise.
You must know that the news of the loss of troops and generals in the Northern Expedition had already reached Mayi. Afterwards, the names of Li Bi, Li Po and others should have been written on the list of those killed in battle.
The entire army of more than 300,000 soldiers was wiped out in the hinterland of Goguryeo. It can be said that the world was shocked and the whole country was in mourning.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty held a sacrifice in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and personally summoned the souls of the soldiers who died in battle. But before he could stop, he built another temple in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and consecrated several Taoist officials, which made the monks very happy.
of dissatisfaction.
It was only a month ago that the news reached Yunnei Racecourse. At that time, everyone in the racecourse was confused from top to bottom.
You know, there were hundreds of people from the racecourse who left with the army. Almost every household was crying.
If not for Li Chun's determination, the eldest brother would definitely be able to come back alive. Yuen Long was not allowed to lead people to set up sacrifices, and each family was not allowed to wear white flags or wear mourning clothes. Otherwise, these people's tablets would definitely be placed on the altar table now.
Already.
After Yuen Long met Li Bi, he came over and wanted to give Li Po a big hug.
But he was pushed away by Li Chun, and he complained with tears and snot in his eyes, "It's him...it's him who said you can't come back...and still..."
He didn't stop after saying this, and until he returned to the racecourse, Li Po's ears were not clear.
Even Li Bi rolled her eyes when she heard this, and finally chose to talk to Yuen Long.
The racecourse suddenly became lively. There were more than a thousand people there, which was not a small number, but there were so many houses in the racecourse. They all settled down without any problems.
After returning to his place, Li Po finally relaxed. His body was indeed a little unable to bear it any longer.
Not only him, but more than a thousand people were actually gritting their teeth and hurried on. As soon as they arrived at the place, more than half of them immediately lay down. The rest were people who loved cleanliness, such as Yanlu people, who had to wash themselves first.
Then he fell down on the bed and fell asleep.
Li Po's treatment was naturally not comparable to that of the Yanlu people, but he was not as good as Yan Sanlang. He lay in the barrel, washed himself, and then fell asleep.
This time, his dream was more of a montage. There was nothing except the vast white, and then the dazzling scarlet color started to appear in the middle and flowed until it occupied the entire dream. It was very scary.
Li Po woke up immediately. The water was still hot, but Li Chun was already standing next to the barrel for who knows how long.
Li Po immediately frowned, and a familiar feeling came over him. He hurried away, "Go out, what are you talking about? Stay away while I'm taking a shower."
Li Chunjin Douzi came down again, but with a smile on his lips, he even dared to whisper, "Tch, it's not like I've never seen him before."
Yeah, if you haven't had your house installed for three days, this naughty kid hasn't been seen for a year. This means he has entered a rebellious stage. Is this right?
