Zuo Aoran wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked back at Murong Ping, who was smirking at him not far away. He smiled and nodded without saying anything. Just this small gesture made the brotherhood between the two men stronger.
A few points have been added. This is not an ordinary one plus one equals two.
Zuo Aoran stayed behind, Lu Kuang was responsible for lightening the casualties of the soldiers, Liu Hu was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and Lei Xu was responsible for reorganizing and distributing the Yellow Turban prisoners. The rest returned to Zuojiazhuang, but Zuo Aoran rushed straight to the village one by one.
At home, I went to say hello to my mother.
After returning home, he went straight to his mother Liu's house. His sister Xue Jiao and Jin Lian were both there. Zuo Aoran was stunned for a moment and called out softly: "Mother..."
"Ran'er, my Ran'er." Before Zuo Aoran could say hello, Mrs. Liu rushed over, hugged Zuo Aoran, and hugged her mother, Mrs. Liu. Feeling her mother's deep love, Zuo Aoran
His nose was sore and his eyes were red. Really, it's not his fault. He couldn't control this feeling at all. This kind of family affection that is integrated into the bones and blood is innate.
Mrs. Liu took a step back, raised her head and looked at her son carefully. Looking at his resolute silhouette, bright eyes, and the aura of a leopard ready to attack, she felt heartbroken.
Another comfort, her son finally grew up.
Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand to caress Zuo Aoran's knife-like contours and murmured: "Ran'er, it's only been a few days, why have you lost so much weight?"
Zuo Aoran did not answer his mother's question, but looked at his mother, bowed and said, "It's all because of my son's fault. My mother is frightened."
"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Liu stroked her son's face and murmured.
"Brother!" Xue Jiao called softly. If Zuo Aoran hadn't had good hearing, he probably wouldn't have heard it.
"What's going on?" Zuo Aoran looked at Xue Jiao and asked.
"These thieves have been around for three days, and Madam hasn't slept for three days," Xue Jiao said.
"Ah?" Zuo Aoran was startled, looking at his mother's haggard face, his nose was sore, his eyes were moist, and he said with a slight choke: "No one will disturb you now, you can sleep well!"
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! Everyone is waiting for you in the hall!" The tiger's roar reached Zuo Aoran's ears.
"Who is it? How dare you disturb my mother's sleep! Drag her out and behead her!" Zuo Aoran almost shouted.
Zuo Aoran gave an order, and two people dragged Liu Hu, who was standing there, to the open space outside the door...
Mrs. Liu was unhappy when she heard this and scolded sternly: "My son! How can you treat your brother who has been with you through life and death like this? I won't let you let him go. This will have a great impact on your prestige."
What an impact! My son! You must think twice before doing anything in the future, don’t act arbitrarily, and take the overall situation into consideration!”
"But……"
"But what! Why don't you go quickly!" Mrs. Liu was about to fight.
Zuo Aoran stood up, turned around and walked to the door of the room. He suddenly stopped and said, "Jin Lian! You also go to the hall!" Jin Lian said softly, "Yes", and followed Zuo Aoran closely.
behind.
"Let them release Liu Hu and let him wait in the hall." Zuo Aoran said to a soldier.
"Destroyed more than 20,000 enemies, routed 10,000, killed the enemy general Huang Shao, and captured 20,000. Apart from the old, weak, women and children, there were 8,000 capable Yellow Turban prisoners. Five thousand have been selected from them according to the Lord's order.
Be strong and strong and join our army." Lei Xu said.
Zuo Aoran nodded and asked, "What are the casualties of our army?"
Lu Kuang took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed his head, and said: "53 Red Scarf Army soldiers were killed, 38 were slightly injured, 8 were seriously injured, and there are 201 left. Zuojiazhuang County soldiers were 821 killed, 1241 were slightly injured, and 87 were seriously injured.
, there are 1,851 people left. There are no casualties among the 300 newly recruited soldiers from Bada Mountain."
Lu Kuang's series of accurate reports made Zuo Aoran heartbroken. Since he came to this chaotic Three Kingdoms era, he has never suffered such a big loss, but this time it was just a small battle, but his troops were reduced in number.
One-half, what is this concept?
"Report~~" A soldier came to report: "My lord, Lieutenant Liu has returned in triumph with his troops."
"Report~~" Another soldier came to report: "To inform my lord, the troops led by Military Advisor Tian have arrived outside the village."
Zuo Aoran was pleasantly surprised by the good news that came one after another, and all the previous gloom was swept away. With a pop, he stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go out of the village to meet Liu Hu and Military Advisor Tian.
"After that, he took the lead and walked out of the hall.
Before Zuo Aoran walked out of the hall, he heard a thick voice: "Fourth brother! You don't need to come to greet me. Military Master Tian and I came in by ourselves." The voice fell and the person arrived.
One was a frail scholar, the other was a rugged and strong man. The two formed a sharp contrast. Zuo Aoran first bowed deeply to Tian Feng to show his respect for him, and then gave him a bear hug with his second brother Liu Quan.
Liu Quan did not show dissatisfaction because of Zuo Aoran's actions, because all capable people are worthy of admiration, and this Tian Feng is one of the three people he admires most, Zuo Aoran is the first, needless to say
, and the other one is Jushu. It’s not because of how brave he is in fighting (if they can go to the battlefield to fight, then they are ghosts), nor because they have any unpredictable ability to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
Rather, the local government is managed in an orderly manner so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
The three of them entered the hall. Zuo Aoran was at the top of the table, Liu Quan and Tian Feng were on both sides. The hall was full of warriors, so naturally the etiquette was poor. They were all old acquaintances, so they naturally said no after not seeing each other for a long time.
After that, there was endless personal experience to talk about. Zuo Aoran was not surprised and instead watched them chat happily.
After a long time, the hall became quiet. Liu Quan stepped forward and said: "In the first battle at Qipan Mountain, we wiped out more than 13,000 enemies and captured more than 8,000 people, all of whom were sent to work in the mountains. Our army suffered very little damage, only more than 600 people. Among them, Jiang Yiqu
The Hammer Battalion is extremely brave in combat. Without the bravery of the Hammer Battalion, our army's casualties would be even more serious..."
Zuo Aoran didn't care about this good news. What he cared about was the casualties of the God Hammer Camp. He immediately asked: "How big are the casualties of the God Hammer Camp?"
Liu Quan's expression darkened and he said: "53 people were killed, 11 were seriously injured, and 41 were slightly injured."
After hearing this, Zuo Aoran's heart felt like a needle pricking his heart, and it felt like blood was dripping "tick-tock-tick". He wailed and said: "Bury all the soldiers who died in battle well, and treat the seriously injured ones well."
, strive to save every person who is alive, and we must give more resettlement allowance, and we must try our best to meet the needs of the families of the fallen soldiers."
After everyone listened to Zuo Aoran's words, they felt a feeling that was difficult to express in words: "Following such a lord is worth it even if you die!" Everyone stepped forward in unison and said in agreement:
"yes."
Zuo Aoran looked at Tian Feng and asked: "Mr. Yuan Hao, how is the situation in Zhuo County? Have you met Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei? Have you treated the three of them lightly?"
