Early the morning of the next morning, in the Huwei Hall of Baishiguan, officers at all levels above the Captain and above of the Baishiguan Guard, including Qian Su and Lu Wenbin, the two Yan Liqiang, brought the Qi Yun Supervisor who inspected Baishiguan, all gathered here at this moment. They were excited to listen to Tieyunshan talking about the situation of yesterday's war. The officers who participated in yesterday's war, such as Wang Naiwu and Xiao Yuman, all had joyful faces and were full of energy. The officers who did not participate in yesterday's war looked at the officers participating in the war with envy, and some people looked regretful and annoyed, and they almost beat their chests and stamped their feet, blaming their wits yesterday's war.

Yesterday's battle had already spread all over Baishi Pass. Qi Yun supervised Yan Liqiang yesterday, leading troops to first remove the siege of Fengbian Village, then destroy the Tuli tribe, and then shocked the reinforcements of the Bakyi tribe. Three battles and three victories were shocked to the ten directions. For the defenders of Baishi Pass in the Han Empire, this has not been so proud for decades. Before, everyone was guarding Baishi Pass, and they were all cowardly from the seventh tribe of Shatu. They were afraid of everything. Unexpectedly, Yan Liqiang suddenly shook his anger when he came yesterday. At this moment, all the soldiers inside and outside Baishi Pass were full of energy and their morale was high. Each soldier was like a chicken blood.

Especially yesterday, Yan Liqiang led his troops to cut off the rear and forced the four or five thousand reinforcements of Bakyi's army to retreat with one arrow. The process of killing Bakyi's first warrior Balsa alone, has spread in the Shiraishi Guanzhong, becoming a myth in the mouth of ordinary soldiers.

Tieyunshan's thick and bold voice echoed in the room at this moment, and it was like the sound of nature in everyone's ears.

"That's how the battle happened yesterday..."

"After yesterday's battle, we killed nearly 10,000 Tuli tribes and seized a large amount of spoils from the Tuli tribe. We counted them last night, and there were 14,566 rhinoceros and dragon horses, 41,588 yaks, 3,684 sheep, 2,818 swords, weapons, bows, crossbows, armor and helmets. 47 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry found from the Tuli tribe, equivalent to about 300,000 taels of silver, and more than 100,000 sheep. Because they were really unable to drive them away, they threw them on the Gulang Grassland and were not brought back..."

Listening to Tieyunshan's words, many officers were secretly shocked the wealth of Tuli tribe. They would not say anything about cattle and sheep. Unexpectedly, there were so many gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but more people were secretly regretting, thinking in their hearts that if they could bring the value of more than 100,000 sheep, they should know that in the northwest, everyone was crazy for the wool. If the more than 100,000 sheep from Tuli tribe could be brought to the pass, that wealth would be amazing.

Qian Su listened, and his face showed a painful look. Qian Su was in charge of a manufacturing bureau before, and he didn't feel short of money. At this moment, he was entrusted with important tasks by Yan Liqiang. The entire Qi Yun Supervisor's house was in charge of him. Qian Su suddenly felt that he spent money everywhere like water. No matter how much money he had in his hand, he felt that he was not enough to spend. At this moment, he heard that more than 100,000 sheep were placed in front of Yan Liqiang and others yesterday, but Yan Liqiang and others could not bring it back. The expression on Qian Su's face suddenly became exciting, and the air conditioner was sucking in between his teeth. Tieyunshan said, and he muttered the number here, "More than 100,000, more than 100,000..."

While talking about these numbers, Tie Yunshan looked at Yan Liqiang who was sitting in the main seat. Seeing Yan Liqiang listening attentively, his face was not as calm as water, which made a veteran like Tie Yunshan feel slightly stern.

"How many soldiers were killed or killed yesterday?" Yan Liqiang asked calmly.

"In the battle yesterday, the Baishi Pass defenders injured 487 people and 267 people were killed in battle. The guards around him also injured more than 40 people, and 6 people were damaged..." Tie Yunshan replied, with a hint of heaviness in his words.

There will be casualties in wars, which are inevitable. No matter how much victory Yan Liqiang led his troops yesterday, the casualties of the soldiers participating in the war are also inevitable. It is just that compared with the results achieved by Yan Liqiang and others, the casualties are relatively small. In the eyes of some generals, this is a perfect victory. Those casualties are just necessary costs.

Yan Liqiang's mood was not as relaxed as the lieutenants in the Shiraishi Pass in the room. Instead, he felt a little heavy. As a professional soldier, a group of lieutenants in the Shiraishi Pass might have been used to and paid for the victory. But for Yan Liqiang, yesterday was his first real leader to fight, and he fought head-on with the 7th division of Shatu on the front battlefield. Although he won a big victory yesterday, Yan Liqiang still felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility for every soldier who followed him to die.

Among these nearly 300 lives, six are his escorts and students of his Gongdao Society. Since those people stepped into the Gongdao Society two years ago, those people have been following him. Every face is a familiar person Yan Liqiang, and he can call out their names Cao Kun, Luo Zhenwei, Qian Mingui, Yang Zizhong, Tang Xingke, and Zhang Wei. Those are six energetic young people. Yesterday, when raiding the Tuli tribe, Cao Kun, Luo Zhenwei, and Qian Mingui were all shot into the vital points by archers in the Tuli tribe during the battle. Tang Xingke and Zhang Wei were chasing the Tuli tribe and escaped those people. They were suddenly stabbed from the horse by several Shatu people hiding in the grass...

When he came back last night, Yan Liqiang personally cleaned the bodies of the six people, sewed the wounds, and changed into clean clothes. When he thought of the faces of the six people, Yan Liqiang still felt sad in his heart.

After Tie Yunshan answered, the room suddenly became silent. After half a minute, Yan Liqiang came to his senses and found that the room was quiet. Everyone was looking at him and waiting for him to speak.

The dead are gone, and the living are still there. The best memory of the dead is to make their sacrifices valuable, so that the living will live a better and more dignified future!

Yan Liqiang said this to himself in his heart, pinched his fist on his knees tightly, took a deep breath, spoke again, and asked Tieyunshan, "According to the previous military system, how would the soldiers who died in battle yesterday be compensated?"

"According to the previous military system of the Han Empire, soldiers who died in battle would issue ten taels of pension silver, and the Governor's Office would also conduct local documents to exempt their family from labor service in the next five years..."

“That’s all?”

Tieyunshan was silent for a moment, looked at Yan Liqiang, and continued, "If Shangguan in the army was not greedy, this is pretty good. The soldiers who died in battle could receive ten taels of silver. In some places, the soldiers who died in battle could receive less than ten taels of pensions, some would receive three taels of 5 taels, and some would not even have the pensions. The pensions were deducted by the people above. If there was no one in the family of the soldiers who died in battle, the local corvee labor reduction and exemption would sometimes shrink, and five years would turn into three or two years. Local officials and local tyrants and evil gentry would sometimes even intercept the benefits and leave the quota for the reduction and exemption of corvee labor to their own families..."

Yan Liqiang's face couldn't help but sink, "Is there such a thing in Qiyun County?"
