Kuang Lizhe took a few steps forward and whispered: "General, leaving these women in the army is not a long-term solution. There is no guarantee that trouble will not occur in the future. "
Li Luo nodded and said: "General Kuang's words make sense, and I have been thinking about it these days."
He turned to the accompanying generals and said: "I want to add an additional battalion to the army. The generals, Chinese medicine practitioners, agency calculations, armor smelting, and landscape surveying and mapping will all be gathered together. They will be indistinguishable from the other eight battalions. What do you think?"
When they first heard Li Luo's proposal, all the generals were a little surprised.
Since ancient times, the military has put war first, and these agencies, planners, and doctors have always been subordinates. Although their positions vary depending on their commanders, there has never been a precedent for setting up a camp.
However, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, and the generals didn't know whether to approve or object.
Shen Xiangdong's eyes flashed and he praised: "General Li's proposal is unique and there are many talented people in the army. However, these people have been regarded as heretics in the past and have difficulty in getting ahead. If we can set up a separate battalion, we might not be able to do something." What a genius, he will be put to great use one day."
Liu Ce pondered for a while and said: "The general's words are indeed quite pertinent. Not to mention other things, if the painter of landscape surveying and mapping is even slightly careless, he will miss a thousand miles. This kind of thing has happened frequently in the past dynasties. It is better to march a hundred miles away, and it is not uncommon for troops to march hundreds of miles away. If an additional battalion can be set up and everyone can work together, there will be no chance of missing a fighter plane in future marches. I will support this proposal."
The generals discussed a few words. Li Luoben never paid attention to these common things and old etiquette. Most of the generals were open-minded. Except for Qin Shutong, there were few rigid people. Moreover, Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce both agreed. , this proposal is beneficial and harmless, even if it is agreed to.
Liu Ce asked: "General, I don't know what the name of this battalion is? Who leads it? Do you want to report it to the imperial court?"
Li Luo nodded lightly and said: "I want to report to the imperial court. I will write a letter personally and send it back to Zhuocheng."
After a pause, he continued: "Let's call this battalion Shuying. As for the commander of the battalion, I will be the leader first. I will replace him later if other suitable candidates come along."
Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce looked at each other and saw that Li Luo had made up his mind, so they said no more.
Li Luo smiled slightly when he saw this and said, "If the two generals have any objections, just say it."
Shen Xiangdong glanced at Liu Ce, saw Liu Ce winking at him, and said persuadingly: "General Li is the commander-in-chief of the army, and he usually makes many military decisions. I thought that adding another battalion commander might divide General Li's command. Mind. If General Li can trust me, let me be the commander of the military camp."
Li Luohuan glanced around and saw that all the generals were very moved. He sighed and said: "Li Luo accepted Mr. Shen's kindness. He just set up camps in the army to correct the names. This is changing the rules of the late emperor and the founding ten generals." The rules under the rule are unusual. There are already many rumors about me, Mu Tianlang, in the court. In addition, I killed King Huai without permission, which made it even worse. If it hadn't been for the battle of Xingfeng Valley, I'm afraid the emperor would have found it difficult for me, Mu Tianlang. Speak. Only if I am appointed as the commander of this art camp, and with my youthful and vigorous energy, can I stop the crowd in the court and prevent the emperor from making things difficult."
Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce both sighed, knowing that what Li Luo said was true.
Ever since Mu Tianlang arrived in Xifu, the court had been asking Emperor Wanlong to order the withdrawal of troops.
Although Emperor Wanlong was quite angry, he could not drag out and kill every remonstrating minister, let alone the whole march. King Huai looted and looted, which caused great resentment among the people and added to the criticism of those who thought they were loyal. Many people who claimed to be loyal He made suggestions from time to time and requested the imperial court to order the withdrawal of troops.
Later, Li Luo beheaded King Huai. Not only did the people in Zhuocheng not praise him at all, but they reprimanded Li Luo for not respecting ethics and ethics. Even the orthodox scholar cried to death and begged the court to remove Li Luo from the post of commander-in-chief of the army. He was so disrespectful of etiquette and law. The new-born son cannot command an army of 100,000 people.
Fortunately, several important ministers and generals in the court did not intervene, and Emperor Wanlong was absent from the court, so the battle was postponed to Xingfeng Valley. It is no wonder that Emperor Wanlong was ecstatic when he heard about Mu Tianlang's victory that day.
This time a camp is set up in the army, these scholars with old customs and customs will definitely remonstrate with them. However, if Li Luo personally appoints the commander of the camp, these rumors may be suppressed.
Shen Xiangdong also sighed and said, "The literati are harming the country."
Li Luo smiled slightly and said: "Literati are talking empty words, but those who harm the country must be these important ministers or royal nobles. They have nothing to do with them. They are burdened by their reputation, and they end up in a cocoon of themselves."
Several generals looked at each other, not expecting that Li Luo would dare to say such treacherous words. Liu Ce hurriedly said: "General, walls have ears."
Li Luo laughed at himself and said, "It would be better if this was spread to the court."
After saying that, he turned back to Qi Shaobing and told him: "General Qi, you killed the Ning'er Peak last time and got the white horse. In a few days, you will send someone to bring it back to Zhuocheng and hand it over to the palace, and also check it." The money of collaborators and traitors and King Huai's will be counted and accounted for. In addition to providing compensation to the relatives of soldiers who died in battle and rewarding the three armies, if there is any surplus, take it back with them."
Qi Shaobing said in astonishment: "General, the money has almost been taken care of. The money and food that King Huai has hidden everywhere has been sent back to the camp. However, the war horse at Ning'er Peak is a BMW, which Xirong calls Riding on the moon for snowy clouds is rare in the Western Regions, and is more precious than a bloody horse. The young general has been waiting for me these days, and I plan to let the general ride on him."
Shi Chong and other generals also persuaded Li Luo to stay. If he was sent back to Zhuocheng, he would probably become a showpiece for high-ranking officials and nobles.
Li Luo shook his head and did not agree, and Hucha Dongchan continued: "General, you have said that everything should be put to its best use, how can this war horse still make Xueyun step on the moon when it reaches Zhuocheng?"
Li Luo looked desolate and asked: "General Liu, what were the casualties of our army last night?"
"Back to the general, there were only a thousand Xirong cavalry on the forest road last night. The others were tied to straw men on their horses. The general was also shocked at the beginning. In this battle, our army's casualties were only a thousand. All the harassing troops were wiped out, and more than 3,000 dead bodies were left in Qianxi. Haha, we got more than 5,000 war horses in vain. The Qiang went to steal chickens but lost rice instead."
When all the generals heard this, they were all in high spirits. Hucha Jing chuckled and said: "Just after the New Year, Qiang Xingzhi hurriedly sent us some New Year's goods. Next time I stay with Commander Zuo, I will treat him to a drink." "
Everyone laughed, but Hucha Dongchan was still unhappy.
Li Luo's face was calm, without too much joy. He looked at the wounded soldiers in the camp and said: "General Qi, treat these wounded soldiers well, don't be careless, it's cold, don't let the soldiers in the camp get frostbite."
Qi Shaobing hurriedly accepted the order, and Li Luo then said: "You all go and do your work, I will walk around." After saying that, he asked Ni Qing to take the war horse, mount it and leave.
Shallow creek.
Li Luo walked slowly to the garrison outside the camp. Chu Ying'er followed Li Luo quietly without saying a word.
Li Luo strolled up to a guard. The soldier hurriedly knelt down to salute, but Li Luo held him up. He looked at his appearance and saw that he was not much older than Li Luo.
Li Luo asked: "Is it cold?"
"Go back to the general, I'm not cold," the guard shouted back.
"There is no such thing as a villain in the army, what is your name?" Li Luo asked Yan.
"Come back to the general, little... my name is Zeng Bai." The soldier blushed and replied in a trembling voice.
"Well, Zeng Bai, you go back to the tent and rest, I'll keep watch for you for a while."
"This is absolutely impossible, General..." Zeng Bai shook his head hurriedly.
Li Luo smiled slightly and said, "This is a military order."
Zeng Baiyi was stunned, and Li Luo took the spear and stood at the guard post.
Zeng Bai didn't know what to do and was speechless. He stayed where he was and didn't dare to leave. Chu Ying'er said in a cold voice: "Let's go!"
Zeng Bai suddenly trembled and turned to look at Chu Ying'er, who was wearing a black veil. Chu Ying'er snorted impatiently. Zeng Bai hurriedly shrank his neck and ran back in a hurry.
Li Luo looked back at Chu Ying'er, smiled, and stared ahead. The sun slowly poked his head out, stretching the shadows of the two of them.
Li Luo was lost in thought, thinking about this Shepherd Tianlang soldier named Zeng Bai, but he never asked where his hometown was.
