In this battle, Cheng Dalei indeed won, it could even be said to be a complete victory.
Through this battle, he was able to judge the combat effectiveness of the five teams. At least this proved that the three years of continuous training was not in vain. He also used this to test the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou soldiers: not weak, but not strong.
But in battle, no one can die.
Our own side also paid the price with human lives for this, and many brothers died on the battlefield. Sacrifice is inevitable. New soldiers may not even be able to hold their weapons tightly when they first go into battle. Today, we can win with minimal casualties, thanks to our normal routine.
training.
Just now I was cleaning up the battlefield and grabbing the loot. At the same time, I was also collecting the bodies of my dead brothers.
People like Qin Man, Guan Yu and others don't take these things seriously. In this troubled world, human life is not as valuable as Cheng Dalei imagined. As a general, treating human life as a number is a necessary quality.
However, Cheng Dalei does not have this quality.
He has been reminding himself to temper his heart to be harder. If he wants to survive in this troubled world and live well, being weak will not work. He must be hardened. If he is harder than this troubled world, he will not be caught by the wheel of the troubled world.
Crush.
While Cheng Dalei was still on his way back to Toad City, Lu Luo had already fled back to Liangzhou City with the remaining defeated soldiers.
Although he is a civil servant, Lu Luo has the heart of a military general. This time Gao Feihu brought people across Liangzhou in such a big way, Lu Luo couldn't ignore it. He had to control him thoroughly and annihilate them all within Liangzhou.
Song Bokang took people to Chang'an, leaving Lu Luo to manage Liangzhou City. He seized the military and political power. He also wanted to take advantage of this incident to show his face.
As a result, I couldn't show my face, but I fell down and chewed the mud, and my butt fell to the ground.
"Master Lu!" His pen clerk came over to report: "Master Song is back."
"Ah!" Lu Luo grinned. He had just suffered a defeat today, and he was still thinking about how to use Spring and Autumn brushwork to cover up this matter. Why did Song Bokang come back at this time?
With no other option, Lu Luo had no choice but to go to see Song Bokang. As soon as he walked into the hall, he stood up to him and said with an aggrieved face: "Sir Song, you are finally back. That Cheng Dalei is really bullying me!"
"shut up!"
Song Bokang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He already knew what happened. How could he not know? Just after he came back, someone reported the situation of the battle to him. Liangzhou City suffered a serious loss of troops. After this battle,
Liangzhou's vitality was severely damaged.
"I told you before I left that I asked you to hold on to the city and not to use troops. Why did you disobey my order?" Song Bokang said coldly.
"Sir..." Lu Luo lowered his head: "There is a team passing through Liangzhou. I'm afraid they don't have bad intentions, but I can't let them pass by with such arrogance..."
Lu Luo's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and then gradually disappeared.
Song Bokang glanced at him and said nothing. Of course he understood what Lu Luo was thinking. If he didn't even understand what his subordinates were thinking, then he would be a waste like Li Xingzai. But there was nothing he could do about Lu Luo.
, after all, the Jiangnan Lu family is behind him, and touching him means not giving the Lu family face. Of course, after this incident, Lu Luo's political life is over, but this is the heaviest punishment for him.
"You...just take care of yourself." Song Bokang sighed.
Seeing that Song Bokang didn't say anything else, Lu Luo also breathed a sigh of relief. He asked tentatively: "Sir, why are you back? Has the situation in Chang'an changed again?"
"Well, there have indeed been some changes." Song Bokang said: "I came here this time to escort some food and grass to Beijing, and also to see the situation in Liangzhou. Huh, I didn't expect you to cause such a thing."
Lu Luo didn't dare to answer. After all, he was reckless in what happened this time. He waited for a while and asked tentatively: "What happened in Chang'an?"
The night was silent, with a dim candle burning in the hall. The two lowered their voices and began to talk secretly.
…
After running around for a day and night, Cheng Dalei's troops returned to Toad City. When they entered Toad City, they looked at the majestic city gates in front of them and couldn't close their mouths for a moment.
The city wall stands tall, and there are soldiers patrolling back and forth. Everyone has a straight back and round cheeks. This at least shows that it is not a problem to have enough food in Toad City. In today's empire, it is enough to have enough food every day.
An extremely difficult thing.
It seems that the boss here is very wealthy!
The streets in the city were very clean, and the houses were neatly arranged. Gao Feihu was no longer Wu Xia Amon. He could feel a kind of vitality from the streets, buildings, and the proud look on everyone's face.
This is a place that is thriving.
"Master, are you doing a good job here?"
Cheng Dalei yawned: "Eat first, then sleep. We will talk about other things after we wake up."
After running all the way and fighting another tough battle, everyone was actually exhausted. Fighting is really not a job for humans.
Liu Bei, who stayed behind in the village, has led people to treat the wounded, dispose of the bodies of his brothers, and provide certain pensions to the families of the wounded and killed soldiers. Some people have made great contributions in this battle, and their families are overjoyed. Some people's parents and brothers died on the battlefield, and then they died.
What followed was the misfortune of several families.
But in these troubled times, this misfortune is inevitable.
He Shen arranged for Gao Feihu's men to live in the military camp, and arranged for the old, weak, women and children to live in civilian houses. It was not a simple matter to arrange these people at the same time. What they needed most now was food and a good sleep.
As for Cheng Dalei himself, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, had some simple food, and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept until dawn the next day. Cheng Dalei woke up from bed in a daze and heard bursts of noise coming from the street outside.
He put on his clothes and got out of bed, walked out of the city lord's palace, and saw the streets crowded with people singing and dancing.
Some people drank heavily and passed out drunk on the street, while others stood on a high platform and loudly sang tuneless songs. More people gathered together to brag about how many more people they had killed during the battle and how many rewards they could receive. But
At the same time, there were also people who drank without saying a word, with their eyes red.
Cheng Dalei immediately understood what they were doing. It was a banquet to celebrate victory. Almost every time they won a battle, they would get together to drink and have fun, venting their fears freely. Some people also used alcohol to remember their dead brothers.
As soon as Cheng Dalei came out, he was immediately surrounded by people. A group of people led by Gao Feibao blocked him and asked him to drink. Cheng Dalei took a bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp, and then quickly found an opportunity to escape.
These fools are all drunken and intoxicating masters. If Cheng Dalei doesn't leave, he will be reduced to a pile of mud by them.
