Chapter 459 The rise and fall are the suffering of the people
Both inside and outside Fangcheng have been renovated. The city walls and streets that were originally dilapidated due to wars and barbarian ravages have been covered with new bricks and tiles, and the streets have also been paved with new stone slabs, making them shiny.
On the streets, there were mostly guards in twos and threes, but occasionally one could see people wearing short clothes and fighting. It had only been about ten days since the battle ended, and people from the Qin State began to gather towards Fangcheng.
It is difficult to leave the homeland. Even if the Qin people fled to the Han Dynasty, they would rush back to their hometown as soon as they heard the news that their homeland had been recovered.
Li Lu looked at the old man holding on to his armor, his face a little ashamed.
"Uncle Fu, I, I haven't seen Ah Da and Ah Er for quite some time. I joined the Han army and obeyed Prince Su's orders, but I couldn't help myself. Don't blame me, Uncle Fu."
The old man with wrinkles on his face was a little disappointed when he heard this, and he loosened Li Lu's sleeves sarcastically.
"Well, let's forget it if the young general doesn't know. I didn't expect to meet the young general. I fled from Liaoxi to come here. My old man has walked a lot. I'm worried that they don't know that I have left Liaoxi and want to get here.
The young general sent me a message."
Li Lu was at a loss and said with evasive eyes: "Don't worry, Uncle Fu. I'll tell a few generals I know well. If anyone knows which army Ada and Aer are in, tell them and tell them, old man."
Come to Fangcheng."
Uncle Fu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, little general, don't bother me. I will return to Liaoxi in a few days. If they come to look for me, they will not be able to find me."
Li Lu hurriedly stopped Uncle Fu: "That can't be done. The army has not moved yet, and there are barbarians to the north of Fangcheng. Uncle Fu, if you go west and encounter barbarians, what should you do?"
"Let's do this. I have a few taels of silver here. Uncle Fu, take it first and settle down in Fangcheng County for a few days. When the army sets off, you can follow the army."
Uncle Fu shook his head: "To tell you the truth, young general, my old man is old and his bones are not strong. If the army waits for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to see the water and soil of his hometown."
Li Lu grabbed Uncle Fu and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Fu, I won't keep you waiting. I'll go and beg the prince to conquer Liaoxi as soon as possible so that the fellow villagers can return home as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu's wrinkled face turned into a smile. He took the money from Li Lu and left with a lot of thanks.
Looking at Uncle Fu's back, Li Lu's eyes were wet.
Uncle Fu was a soldier under Grandpa. Because he injured his leg in the battle, he quit the military camp and found a small job in Liaoxi City. He gave birth to two sons and sent them to the army to serve under Grandpa's tent.
Unfortunately, it was all his own fault. In the battle in Liaoxi, Ada died in front of his eyes. After he left Liaoxi, he never heard from Aer again.
However, western Liaoning fell into the hands of the barbarians, and countless people died. A'er was still in the army, and had the same stubborn temper as Uncle Fu. He would definitely not want to be a deserter, and the possibility of death in battle was very high.
But what can I say? Can I tell Uncle Fu directly that both Ah Da and Ah Er have died in the battle?
"Li Lu, sir, why are you crying?"
A sarcastic female voice sounded, and Li Lu saw Dong Ling, dressed in military uniform, coming in from the outside with several fully armed female captains, looking at him arrogantly.
Li Lu turned around, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and argued in a low voice:
"Who is crying? I was blinded by the wind and sand. Lieutenant Dong, did you come to the camp to see General Hua Xun?"
Dong Ling looked at Li Lu, narrowed his eyes and said.
"Then you are wrong. I came to see you and the Qin army under your command this time."
When Li Lu heard this, his back felt cold, he couldn't help but stand up straight, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"May I ask what General Dong is doing with the last general?"
Dong Ling shook his hand, and a military affairs brochure appeared in his hand. He threw it to Li Lu and said in a cold tone.
"According to the order of the commander-in-chief, Li Lu and all the Qin army units originally belonging to Wuyuan were ordered to follow the order of Zhaowu Colonel Dong Ling, reorganize the new army, and improve military discipline."
Li Lu's face lit up: "Captain Dong, are you going back to Liaoxi?"
Dong Ling strode into the camp with a teasing voice: "Then it depends on how good you are, Li Lu, and how much combat power your Qin army camp has."
After entering the military camp, Li Lu gave an order and the people in the Qin military camp gathered together.
Dong Ling stood on the commander's platform and looked at the Qin army whose appearance had changed. He nodded approvingly to Cao Rui next to him. This boy and Huo Ze were sent to Li Lu to purge the Qin army and change the situation.
From the looks of the Qin army, it seems that the two of them did a good job.
"Gentlemen, I won't say anything else. Colonel Cao Rui and Colonel Huo Ze have been in your army for some time, and the purges against you have been very effective. The Commander-in-Chief has seen this and is very satisfied with your performance."
"Starting today, your military training is suspended, and all personnel will carry out comfort and logistics training. Once you complete the training and pass the assessment, you will be assigned to the newly formed armies to serve as team commanders, brigade commanders, and even battalion schools.
Lieutenant."
"Purge the new army, then drive out the barbarians and recover your hometown."
After Dong Ling finished speaking, the audience fell silent. All the soldiers raised their heads and looked at Dong Ling, with hope shining in their eyes.
"Sir, if I can pass the test in three days, will I be able to leave for Qin in three days?"
A naive sergeant asked.
Dong Ling glanced at the sergeant and said coldly: "Listen to me, from now on, the State of Qin is gone. You should talk less about the State of Qin. You are the people of the Han State and the descendants of the Han State and Qin."
People, if anyone considers himself a citizen of Qin anymore, don’t blame the military for being ruthless.”
"I'll say it again, whoever can pass the assessment will be sent to the newly formed new army. When the training of the new army is completed, the troops will be dispatched."
"Whoever passes the test first may lead the soldiers to send troops first."
Dong Ling looked at several sergeants who were eager to try and spoke.
Everyone fell silent.
Dong Ling saw that all the sergeants had no problem, and with a wave of his hand, Li Lu walked onto the stage, holding a thick booklet in his hand, unfolded it, and read it out in front of everyone.
"Now let me read out the list of sergeants who have been selected for this training for the first time. It is hoped that the first batch will pass the assessment and enter the list of sergeants who will be brigade commanders and school lieutenants in the new army."
"Cao Zili, Gao Xiangyang, Li Erdan..."
Sing-alongs of fame occur one after another on the school grounds.
…
The recruitment work started in Fangcheng and Hualin. The people of Qin continued to come over to join the army, organize and train. Day by day, the number of armies was increasing, and the number of organized armies was also increasing.
more.
The deputy lieutenant of Qin who was trained by Dong Ling was also on the right track. Based on the problems that emerged during the training, Dong Ling discussed with Su Lu several times and corrected the training materials, changing Qin Jun's thinking little by little.
The sergeants have slowly accepted that the Qin State has perished. The Han State, which really provides them with food and clothing, is organizing them to attack the barbarians, rescue their hometown, and save them from suffering and being eaten.
Those fellow countrymen, neighbors, relatives, wives and children who are lost or will be eaten...
