"My son, Da Gan, must be upright. Not only you, Li Luo, but also the lieutenant of my Western Expeditionary Army must also take responsibility. Not to mention five thousand, but even ten thousand remnant troops, what can I do? I am willing to give up these five Thousands of people, I want you to have a clear conscience. In the future, when you are in charge of the world, you must also walk and sit upright. From today on, all the generals here are brothers who are intertwined in life and death. No matter who is in trouble, they must reach out. Help, if these five thousand Xirong generals stay safe, I will be considered to have done a good deed. But if they still refuse to change their ways, huh, I will definitely kill them again. ?．?b?i q?u?”
"Yes." All the generals shouted in unison.
"Come here." Di Jie shouted.
"The end is here." Yun Wuyan took the lead and said.
"Let the five thousand soldiers of Xirong be released. If anyone in the city wants to leave, let them leave the city with the Holy Spirit, and no one will be left behind."
"General, I will obey the order." Yun Wuyan took the order and came out.
Li Luo's eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but shed a tear, and said in a harsh voice: "Li Luo thanked you."
Di Jie walked up to Li Luo, grabbed Li Luo's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what others think, I, Di Jie, believe that I have not misjudged you."
Generals Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce also came to Li Luo and helped Li Luo up. Shen Xiangdong said with a smile: "Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both ends. Didn't General Li also say that you can do things as you please, but only if you have no regrets?"
Yuan Jun smiled and said: "It's so frustrating to surrender a mere five thousand soldiers of the Western Army. If word spreads about it, will others laugh at you?"
Di Jie glared and said, "Talk too much."
Yuan Jun chuckled and did not answer. Li Luo looked at the people in the tent and felt a warm feeling in his heart. When a man enters the world, he should make friends with such bloody brothers.
In just half an hour, Yun Wuyan drove the Xirong soldiers and the Xirong people in the city who did not want to stay outside the camp, leaving the Xirong people's property intact and left them to take care of themselves.
Li Luo and the generals in the army escorted Chang Ning out of the camp slowly. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians scattered here and there, trembling under the sharp swords of Dagan's soldiers.
Yun Wuyan ordered the soldiers to send a message and let them go. The Xirong soldiers and civilians thought they had heard wrongly and could not believe it. This made Yun Wuyan feel unhappy and ordered people to drive them away, and then he hurriedly fled towards Shuoxi City.
Li Luo took a look and said softly: "Chang Ning, you can leave too."
Chang Ning looked at Li Luo and said leisurely: "Chang Ning will never go down to Zushan again in this life, and you and I will never see each other again."
Li Luo felt sad and responded in a low voice: "Take care."
Chang Ning turned his horse around, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped without looking back. He seemed sad and regretful. But he also said with hatred: "Why are you the general of Da Gan?" After saying this, he scolded lightly and rode on. He chased the Xirong people away alone.
Li Luo was startled and looked at Chang Ning's back. He thought of the delicate woman carrying a suitcase he met on the roadside. He never imagined the look on Chang Ning's face when he asked Li Luo why he was General Da Gan. Bing Xin Jue couldn't be suppressed anymore. Blood spurted out suddenly, and the generals shouted loudly. Li Luo was in a trance. He couldn't hear a word clearly.
Yingchou Gorge was built in the late years of Taizu, and after several dynasties in Dagan, it has become a rare and magnificent pass in the world.
At the beginning, Yingchou Gorge was just a small stone fortress. Today, it is connected to Hazhi in the north and Shiwanshan Mountain in the south. It guards the westward movement of Dagan and the important route for the heroes of the Western Regions to move eastward. For a hundred years, except for the guards, the soldiers Outside, many people from Dagan and other tribes settled down in Yingchou Gorge and gradually formed a city of their own.
Twenty-eight years ago, the Dagan court was weak, and the Xirong took the opportunity to capture Yingchou Gorge. Since then, wars have continued in Dizhou. By seventeen years ago, the entire territory of Dizhou, except Moshang City, was occupied by the Xirong. However,
There are still voices of praise in the imperial court. When Emperor Wanlong first ascended the throne, he also tried hard to govern and sent large armies several times to conquer, but all ended in vain. In recent years, Emperor Wanlong and the Dagan court seemed to have forgotten
There is also Dizhou beyond Dagan. If Di Jie had not been guarding it, Tianshui and Shahu would have been difficult to protect.
Twenty-eight years later, Yingchou Gorge returned to Dagan. Everyone looked around and saw that Dizhou was riddled with holes and empty houses. Only the city wall of Yingchou Gorge was still standing. It was full of people.
People come and go, winter passes and spring comes.
Since the army captured Yingchou Gorge, congratulations have been sent from the court several times. Lanterns and colors were decorated in Zhuocheng. Emperor Wanlong even held a banquet for his ministers. He repeatedly urged Li Luo to return to Zhuocheng in order to reward Li Luo.
After reading it, he shook his head and sighed, and casually threw the message to the court aside. He just said that the war in Xifu was not over yet, so it was not easy to leave without authorization, so he prevaricates it.
Yingchou Gorge is called a city, which seems reluctant. If it is a pass, it is more appropriate. It is not like the city of Zhongfu. Within the city walls, except for the military outposts, there are no common people. These scattered civilians all live outside the city walls.
Many years ago, most people repaired houses and lived in the east of Yingchou Gorge. Since Yingchou Gorge was occupied by the Xirong, the Xirong generals drove all the residents outside the city to the west of Yingchou Gorge, and the houses in the east of the city were burned to the ground.
After Li fell into the city, he did not displace the people again like Xirong. Instead, he ordered his army lieutenants to help the people under the city and rebuild their residences. They were divided into four places according to the terrain, one for residences, the second for business, and the third for the official offices in the city.
The fourth is the place where foreign people live.
Li Luo ordered Zhou Linhan to register the houses under the city that had been burned down by the war, and the soldiers who were good at civil engineering in the army rebuilt them according to the records, and resettled the people who stayed in Yingchou Gorge.
To the west of Yingchou Gorge, six military fortresses were built to form a strong force. If an enemy wanted to attack Yingchou Gorge, they must first pass through the six fortresses before they could attack the city. After one month, the Yingchou Gorge was well organized.
, the six fortresses have begun to take shape.
Kuang Lizhe and Qi Shaobing led the Shahu garrison to Yingchou Gorge not long ago and escorted a batch of money and grain. The amount was so large that even Li Luo was secretly stunned.
Zhongzai and Zhang Rongzheng accepted the imperial edict of Emperor Wanlong and pulled out a large sum of money from the Dagan Treasury to reward the three armies. The amount was several times more than what Li Luo ordered to transport back to Zhuocheng that day. Emperor Wanlong greatly appreciated Li Luo.
, no one in Dagan can compare to him in recent years, even Prince Chun Li Chengye is also slightly behind.
Li Luo looked at it and felt it was even heavier. However, the officers and men were very happy. Li Luo made the decision. In addition to the daily expenses of the army, all the money and things were distributed to the officers and men as rewards based on their merits. Many soldiers died in the battle.
He received double the amount, and ordered Qi Shaobing to sort it out, return to his hometown, and write a copy in person. If any officials in the prefecture and county dare to deduct the money privately, they will be investigated without mercy, and he will not keep a penny.
The generals were astonished. When talking about military achievements, Li Luo should be the one to talk about. Li Luo just smiled and said frankly that as the prince of Dagan, he had a lot of money and things, so they didn't need to care. When the generals saw Li Luo, they had no choice but to
After giving up, the officers and soldiers in the army felt a little more admiration after hearing this.
Only a few days after the belongings were dispersed, news came from the court that Emperor Wanlong had conferred titles on all the generals in the army. Sikongchou Zijiang personally went to Yingchou Gorge to announce the decree. (To be continued.)
