He Ran continued: "As for why you are kept here, it's like this. There are more than ten thousand of your brothers here. The reason for letting you do hard labor for a year is to sharpen your character. I have long planned to rebuild you into a team.
We have formed a large army. Through careful understanding, I know that you people are both capable and moral and are also very popular among the brothers, so I keep you here."
After hearing this, the generals had different expressions, some were happy and some were unhappy, and they started talking among themselves. Two of them started to quarrel because of their disagreements. One of them was Sibu Tailang Xinggua, and the other one got up to speak just now.
The one who complained.
The little princess got angry and sternly scolded the man who was arguing with Sibu Tailang Xinggua, and then the man shut his mouth.
"What are they arguing about?" He Ran asked with a smile.
"Dagan still feels it's unfair. Sibu Tailang Xinggua scolded him for being greedy. It's already good for prisoners of war to do hard labor for a lifetime without being killed. Now that they don't even have to do hard labor, what's not satisfying about rebuilding the army?"
?Dagan is very grateful to you for this approach, but he still feels that it is unfair to keep him."
He Ran was a little dissatisfied with Dagan. The job of identifying the character and talent of these generals was done by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He had also specifically told the two ministers in charge of this matter to carefully understand the situation before making a choice.
How could someone like Dagan be left behind?
It was difficult to say anything else at this time. He Ran raised the bottle and said: "Come, let's go in for another bottle and talk while eating. I don't live in the house all the year round, so the chefs are temporarily borrowed from other places. In fact, even if it's the best here
The food prepared by the chef will not be to your taste."
Everyone laughed, and when it came to the food issue, they all expressed their bitterness, and recalled the prairie delicacies with infinite nostalgia. Only Dagan stopped talking and drank alone, one bottle after another.
, and soon he wiped away tears. His behavior made everyone feel awkward.
He Ran smiled lightly and said: "Dagan, if you are so reluctant, forget it, just go back tomorrow. I never force others, especially my brothers in the army. Victory on the battlefield depends on brothers working together. I can't do this with you."
I can't let you lead the troops."
Dagan was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Seriously?!" Seeing He Ran nodded calmly without saying anything, a complicated expression appeared on his face. On the one hand, he was happy to be able to go home.
On the other hand, it was the shame of not being worthy of being a warrior. He saw the contempt that Yi Guo's military advisor tried to restrain.
Dagan's face turned red and his chest heaved violently. After a fierce and short inner struggle, he finally made up his mind, saluted and said a lot of words excitedly, and then knelt on the ground and said again with a pious expression.
something.
The little princess whispered to He Ran and translated: "He said, thank you so much for the military advisor. As a prisoner of war, Dagan was very grateful for the military advisor's kindness. He is not an ungrateful person, nor is he a greedy villain. He is just a prisoner of war."
...It's just that his mother became seriously ill when he went on the last expedition. I don't know if she can survive this year or so. Every time I think of him, my heart is cut like a knife. I miss my mother so much that I want to go back. If you can
You have fulfilled your filial piety by letting him go back, and after a hundred years from his mother's death, he will definitely come back and be your slave for life. When he knelt down, he swore an oath to the God Wei.
After knowing the whole story, He Ran's view of him changed. He got up and went over to fill a bottle of wine for him. He said, "I didn't know what was going on in my heart just now, and my demeanor was so contemptuous. Don't mind. Filial piety is the most important thing in human beings. You are like this."
His filial piety is admirable."
Dagan raised his head and drank the wine, and said: "If the military advisor really wants me to go back, then... then I want to leave now. I don't want to delay for a moment."
He Ran nodded and said: "Okay, that's fine." He turned to one of his guards and told him, "Take him to go through the customs paperwork and give him a fast horse and ten taels of silver."
The little princess couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it going to happen in two days..."
He Ran waved his hand to her before she finished speaking, and the little princess reluctantly closed her mouth.
Dagan was very excited, bowed to He Ran and then followed the guard.
After Dagan left, many people's faces looked unnatural. Who didn't want to go home? No one was in the mood to eat.
He Ran looked at them and said: "I know what you are thinking. Let's talk about your return home. But before I let you go back, you have to fight a few battles for me."
After hearing this, everyone immediately became excited and looked at the military advisor eagerly. They thought they would never be able to go back in this life. This was simply great news.
"Commenter, please give your orders quickly!"
"We can fight anywhere, I'm willing to listen to the military advisor's... dispatch!"
"When to fight?"
…
Everyone rushed to ask questions in languages they were not yet familiar with.
He Ran waited for them to calm down before calmly saying: "Actually, this battle is not fought for me, but for yourselves. You still don't know that all the forces in the prairie have been divided now. Some tribes have betrayed King Fan. I am
I want to take you to put down the rebellion."
These words were like thunder to the ears of these generals. They were all dumbfounded, and then they all showed expressions of disbelief.
"The news is absolutely true. Xinyan Tuliang has broken with King Fan. Dongxing Tuozimang no longer listens to King Fan. There are also some small tribes who have different intentions. We haven't learned too much about it in detail."
After everyone was shocked, some were grieving, some were angry, some were sad, some were yelling, some were sighing, and the hall became a commotion, with many people crying uncontrollably.
After waiting for a while, these people gradually calmed down, and He Ran continued: "I know that not all of you are from the Fanwang tribe. I will take the Fanwang tribe to the prairie first this time. I will not let you and I
The people of the tribe are fighting each other. Those who belong to the Xinyan Tuliang tribe and the Dongxing Tuozi Mang tribe are temporarily stationed near Muhu City on standby. I will mobilize you when necessary. When the prairie is reunited, you can all go home.
"
Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling very heavy after hearing the bad news. They were inevitably worried about their families in the war, and they were even more eager to return home.
"From now on, you are no longer prisoners of war. When you go back, you will collect your soldiers, weapons, and armors and I will keep them for you. I will have people send them to you. After you regroup, you will be...Terabu er...
Yes, it’s you. You will be the commander. You can choose and appoint the missing generals on your own. Once you have appointed them, give me a list. I will not interfere too much in the affairs of your army. I only have one request. After hearing the drum,
Those who advance after hearing the gold will retreat, and those who disobey orders will be killed."
Sibu Tailang Xinggua was stunned for a moment when he heard that he was asked to take the decision, and then he bowed to accept the order, with an excited look on his face.
"You don't have to suffer because the food is not delicious. From tomorrow on, we will provide you with cattle, sheep, and fine wine, and restore your original diet."
This was good news, and everyone cheered. Although He Ran had warned them not to mistreat them during the year of hard labor, the food could never be too good, and they could finally live a life of wine and meat again.
"I can only give you five days. The situation in the prairie is critical and there is no time to delay. Go back and reorganize quickly. Everything must be ready in five days."
Everyone agreed with a bang and waved their hands to let them go down. Sibutailang Xinggua and other senior generals were left behind. They asked some detailed questions about the prairie. They knew much more than the little princess, and then discussed some matters with them.
The specific matters of reorganizing the army were not settled until late at night.
