Zhai Rang's words also represent the failure of Wagang Village's massive attack on Luoyang. Although Zhai Rang had this thought before, he did not say it out loud. Although most of the power of Wagang Village has been Li Mi got it, but Zhai Rang is still the nominal head of Wagang Village after all. Now that Zhai Rang has spoken, Li Mi can only agree with Zhai Rang's opinion no matter how unwilling he is.
"Since the headmaster has said so, then Li Mi naturally has no objection. Everything should be done according to the headmaster's instructions." Li Mi also sighed and bowed to Zhai Rang with his fists raised. But the moment he lowered his head, his eyes A cold light suddenly flashed in his mind. Originally, he planned to peacefully seize the power of Wagang Village from Zhai Rang. But now it seems that Zhai Rang is no longer like before. Because he has also developed a feeling called Something about ambition. Li Mi has secretly made up his mind. It's time to take action.
Since Zhai Rang and Li Mi, as the first and second in command, have agreed to withdraw their troops, the next thing will be much easier to handle. The heralds went to the south, north and west of the city one after another to recall all the troops and horses stranded there. This The Wagang Village came with great force. The 500,000-strong army was destroyed outside Luoyang City, but more than half of it was lost. In the end, they returned in defeat. The momentum that had been built up in the Wagang Village fell to the bottom for a while. Before leaving, the remaining 200,000-plus troops were all dejected. They no longer had the momentum they had before.
On the top of the city of Luoyang City, Li Jing and Qin Qiong were stunned when they saw the Wagang Army breaking out of camp and gradually retreating. They did not expect that the Wagang Army would withdraw like this. This was exactly what they had set before. The plan was completely different. Wan He and others who came after hearing the news were also shocked on the top of the city. They didn't seem to expect that the Wagang army would retreat so easily.
"This, this..." After a long while, everyone came back to their senses. Wan He looked at Li Jing and Qin Qiong with a strange expression and asked: "Yakist, Shu Bao, what do you think about Zhai Rang and Li Mi?" What did you do? Why did you scare them away?"
There was resentment in Wan He's words. It sounded like a woman resenting her husband on the bed for his incompetence. Everyone on the city wall, including Li Jing and Qin Qiong, couldn't help but beat him up. Shivering and almost falling to the ground, Li Jing and Qin Qiong didn't know how to answer this question. They could only scratch the back of their heads with embarrassment. Fortunately, Fang Xuanling also smiled at this time and stepped forward and said : "Actually, it doesn't matter. Judging from the time, it should be too late. Although we failed to annihilate Wagang Village, from now on, Wagang Village is no longer a threat."
Fang Xuanling's words finally solved the problem for Li Jing and Qin Qiong. Otherwise, they really didn't know how to answer Wan He's weird question. And after hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Wan He nodded again with a smile and said: "Hmm. Damn, these guys are better off. Anyway, we have won a big victory this time. Let's go, brothers. We have worked hard for half a month. Let's relax. East Street Let’s all have enough shopping. I’ll give you a treat.”
After winning the battle, the soldiers were invited to visit the brothel. Wan He was the only one in ancient and modern times at home and abroad. But no matter what, the soldiers were reminded by Wan He's words and they also reacted to this difficult battle. They finally fought Won. Almost everyone jumped up and cheered loudly. For a moment, the Imperial Forest Army, counter-rebel army, city defenders, government officials and even the private army of the aristocratic family. Everyone hugged and cheered to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Of course, many soldiers cried with joy. A veteran of the counter-rebellion army knelt on the ground, beat the ground hard, and cried loudly: "Second brother, second brother, did you hear that? We won. We won." Yes. Why don’t you insist on holding on for two more days? Why? Just hold on for two more days. Ahhhhhhhhhh.”
On the other side, after the victory, a soldier of the Royal Forest Army slowly sat down against the city wall. He took out a leather bag from his arms and pulled out the stopper. Immediately, a hint of the aroma of wine came out. Then, when this soldier, who had killed nearly a hundred people in the past half month, was about to bring the skin bag to his mouth, his head tilted and he lost his breath.
Various stories were staged on the top of the city. Seeing these stories happening, Wan He, who was originally in high spirits, gradually became silent. Yes, this battle was indeed won. And as the supreme commander of this battle. Whether it is fame or actual benefits, Wan He will be the biggest beneficiary after the war. But in this battle, how many soldiers died under the Luoyang city wall, and how many loyal ones can they enjoy?
"Master Guo." Seeing that Wan He, who was originally cheerful in front, suddenly became so silent. Everyone behind Wan He was also stunned. But they soon understood the reason why Wan He became so silent. The generals also fell silent. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other. At the same time, they took a step forward and shouted to Wan He, as if they wanted to comfort Wan He.
"You should not talk about the matter of making a marquis. One general's achievements will lead to the death of thousands of bones." At this time, Wan He also silently read out this sentence. It's not that Wan He remembered this poem. It's just that this sentence was in his mind. It is so famous in later generations. Even Wan He, an otaku, can remember it in his heart. Usually he just can't think of it for a moment. Today, it came to me because I felt it, but I read it out smoothly.
"Ah." Although Wan He's voice was not loud, everyone was following Wan He. So when Wan He read this poem, they all heard it clearly. Everyone's eyes were in the same direction. Liang. Although it is just a poem, not even a complete quatrain, this poem is enough to impress the generals present. Especially Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and other generals who suppressed the rebels. For a moment, I remembered that I followed Zhang Xutuo. The brothers who worked together to suppress rebellions are no longer in the world. They have become those "thousands of bones". Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also deeply touched. At the same time, they were also surprised. Wan He's literary talent. I didn't expect that Wan He, who is usually crazy, could actually recite such a beautiful sentence.
After a long while, perhaps because he realized that there was no reaction behind him, Wan He turned around and looked at everyone. He was a little surprised at first. Then he shook his head and said: "All the soldiers who died in this battle, except those who were sent to In addition to the pension at home, I will give another pension. As for the disabled soldiers, if they are willing, they can stay with Wanjia. As long as I, Wanhe, are here, they will have something to eat."
Maybe it was because of the previous poem. The people around Wan He were very quiet. Therefore, the few words Wan He just said seemed to be very loud. Soon, Wan He's words were spread throughout the city. In the ears of all the soldiers, for a moment, the Sui soldiers knelt down directly towards Wan He and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Duke Liang."
Although Wan He rewarded those casualties of the Sui Army soldiers, for these surviving soldiers, they were all comrades who shared life and death with them. They died on the battlefield, but their wives, children, and children could be taken care of. They were also gratified. At the same time, Wan He's attitude undoubtedly freed them from worries. How could they not be grateful to Wan He. And on the top of the city, in addition to these Sui troops, there were also many private armies of aristocratic families. They were all They looked at the Sui army soldiers kneeling next to them with envy. As private soldiers of aristocratic families, of course they could not enjoy the same treatment as the Sui army. Compared with Wan He, their master seemed too ruthless. No. The young man even had the idea of kneeling down with the Sui army.
Wan He didn't care about what these Sui troops and private armies thought. He didn't mean to win people's hearts by what he just said. It was just a temporary thought. Wan He was grateful to the soldiers. He also smiled and waved his hand. Then he turned to Li Jing and others and said: "Okay. If you want to go to East Street, you can go by yourself. Just tell me my name. I'm a little tired. Go back to my house and rest first. Let's go." After saying that, Wan He just shook his head and walked towards the city with a sigh on his face.
Everyone who was originally moved by Wan He's beautiful words suddenly couldn't laugh or cry when they heard Wan He's words. It sounded like everyone couldn't wait to go to East Street to visit a brothel. Everyone smiled bitterly and watched Wan He off. After leaving, everyone went about their own business. Although the war was over, there were still many things to deal with. There was no time to play.
Wan He, on the other hand, went directly back to Liang Guogong's Mansion. He hid in the study alone. Not long after, a shrill scream suddenly came from the study. Suddenly, the entire Liang Guogong's Mansion was shaken by the scream. Alarmed, all the servants rushed to the study with various sticks. Yuerong and Shen Xinyan, who had just recovered from her injuries, rushed to the study door with eager faces and beat the closed door desperately. . shouted anxiously: "Mr. sir, sir, what's wrong with you? Open the door. Open the door."
Just when Yuerong and Shen Xinyan couldn't wait any longer and were about to let their servants open the door, they heard a creak. The door was opened from the inside. Wan He walked out of the room. His face was pale. His face was full of frustration and annoyance. Seeing Wan He's appearance, Yuerong and Shen Xinyan were also startled. They hurriedly grabbed Wan He's arms from the left and right, wanting to see where Wan He was. She was injured. Shen Xinyan asked from time to time: "Brother Wanjia, where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you injured somewhere?"
But Wan He waved his hands at the two women with a bitter look on his face. The expression on his face was as if he was about to cry. He shook his head and said, "Madam, sister, I, I am bankrupt."
