Chapter 43
The soldiers all went to chase and kill the soldiers of Xiqin, and Li Yu stood alone in the entire battle formation. He watched the Detachment of Women chasing the defeated soldiers of Xiqin, and watched all this happen helplessly.
It was all the Chinese people who were killing each other. Even though their side achieved the final victory, Li Yu was not happy at all, but instead felt a burst of heartache in his heart.
"Hey! Why are we too anxious to fight each other!" Li Yu murmured to himself.
After passing through the Women's Army and the defenders of Hechi County, they chased for several hours for more than fifty miles. In the evening, the Women's Army was excited and carried a large number of Western Qin soldiers and all the spoils back to Hechi County.
Xiao Yu asked the people of Hechi County to stand on both sides of the county town and cheer, and welcomed the victorious Detachment of Women into the city.
At the gate of the city, Li Yu waited for Li Xiuning who returned from killing the enemy and Li Xueyi who had recovered. Li Yu and they entered the city with the army. Li Yu also welcomed the crowd and met Xiao Yu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who was ups and downs.
Now Li Yu is just an unknown person and has not taken the initiative to come forward and talk to Xiao Yu for a few words.
However, Xiao Yu still looked at Li Yu for a while. Xiao Yu felt that Li Yu was very not simple. He could stand by the princess, but not a servant. Why did he have no position in the Detachment of Women's Army? He was a little curious.
But now he has something to do, so he let go of the questions in his heart.
"Princess, if you come two days late, Hechi County will be captured. Xiao Yu is here to express his gratitude to the Detachment of Women on behalf of the people of the whole city." Xiao Yu bowed sincerely.
"Uncle Xiao, you are so serious. As the princess of the court, I am responsible for protecting the family and the people. Don't say anything more thankful." Li Xiuning did not feel complacent because she defeated Xue Ju.
Xiao Yu nodded secretly, feeling that Li Xiuning is now a princess and does not have the arrogance of a princess on her body. It also made Xiao Yu, who was arrogant, look at Li Xiuning with a high profile and lead everyone into Hechi County.
When he arrived at Xiao Yu's mansion, Xiao Yu had already asked someone to arrange a banquet.
During the meal, Li Yu saw that Qiu Shili and He Panren were in a bad mood. He gave Li Xueyi a wink and asked Li Xueyi to go over and persuade him. Qiu Shili and He Panren, who were knocked off the horse by Zong Luo because they wanted to pick up Li Xueyi.
"You two are wise generals, and they are not military generals who are afraid of failure? Look at Zong Luo and I were not fighting for martial arts. We were not driven away by Zong Luo and almost died. If Zong Luo hadn't been shot and killed suddenly, my life would have been almost gone?" Li Xueyi walked over and persuaded him. He also used his own metaphor.
"I think Xueyi is right. Zong Luo and Xue Ju are so powerful! Have you been shot and killed by someone? Don't compare with those martial artists. In the future, the chances of fighting generals will be less and less. There will be no chances of fighting generals at any time." Li Xiuning comforted his confidant general after analyzing on the side.
After hearing Li Xiuning's words, Li Yu nodded secretly, knowing that her analysis was very accurate. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, most of the future wars will be wars in corps, and the opportunities for fighting generals will be less and less. The force of a large corps fighting a person seems insignificant in the entire battle formation.
After listening to the persuasion of Li Xueyi and Li Xiuning, Qiu Shili and He Panren were relieved and quickly participated in the celebration of this great victory.
Afterwards, the generals and schools came to report the results, and finally Xiang Shanzhi stepped forward and said, "Princess, we captured more than 25,000 Western Qin soldiers in this battle and killed more than 7,000. All the remaining Western Qin soldiers fled!"
"This time our Women's Army won such a great victory because Zong Luo and Xue Ju were killed, which made our Women's Army win the final victory. I think the hero who shot and killed the two was the biggest contributor this time. Did anyone see who took the action at that time?" Li Xiuning sat in the main seat and asked everyone around with anticipation.
Everyone immediately shook their heads and said that the situation was urgent and they didn't see clearly. Li Xueyi looked at Li Yu in confusion, as if he didn't see it. He was eating and drinking on his own.
"Princess, I don't think the person who helped us is an ordinary mortal. At that time, the two armies were several hundred steps away. Even if the ordinary people could not project one-third of the distance, it should not be what ordinary people said." Qiu Shili stood up and analyzed: "And what happened today seems to be similar to what happened in Jichangshan, which is incredible."
Everyone nodded and said yes. Even if they had doubts, they couldn't tell why.
Seeing that everyone was not clear, Li Xiuning had to give up helplessly. She was a cheerful woman, and she didn't have any worries if she couldn't figure it out. As long as the war could be won, no matter who he helped her.
After letting go of her doubts, Li Xiuning and everyone began to reward her with merits. She is the highest military commander of the Detachment of Women's Army. Within her authority, those who can make decisions can be rewarded by themselves.
Most of the meritorious generals and schoolmen received rewards in gold, silver, land and other aspects, while some soldiers were promoted to the military ranks. The military merits of her generals must be reported to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan issued documents to promote them.
Interestingly, the two soldiers who lost their spears were not punished, but also rewarded many good things by Li Xiuning.
However, all this has nothing to do with Li Yu. He is not in the sequence of the Detachment of Women, and no credit has anything to do with him.
...
The banquet was ate until the second day of the second day, and everyone dispersed.
As soon as Li Yu left Xiao Yu's mansion, he saw Li Xiuning chasing him with light steps with a look of joy.
A hint of shyness appeared on Li Xiuning's face and she whispered: "That wine was so delicious last night, why don't we two drink it again?"
Li Yu turned around and saw several female guards behind Li Xiuning, nodded and said, "Then let's go! Let's go to my place to drink!"
Li Xiuning shook his head, but said, "You live in the logistics department, and there are many people in the logistics department. Besides, as the main general, I took the lead in drinking and taking the lead in the camp and broke the ban. Let's go to my place!"
"good!"
Li Yu agreed without hesitation and said to the female guard behind Li Xiuning: "You go to the place where I live, there is a jar of wine under the camp bed, you can bring it over."
Li Xiuning's female guards heard Li Yu's orders, and one of the female guards shouted "No" and turned around to get the wine.
While they were talking, they came to a mansion arranged by Xiao Yu, Li Xiuning immediately arranged for the maid to prepare food and drinks. She took Li Yu to the hall to sit down.
After a while, the maid prepared a jar of dwarf wine and a few side dishes.
"You and Li Xueyi dared to cheat me out last night!" Li Xiuning opened the wine jar, smelled the fragrance of the fourth aunt's wine, rolled his eyes to Li Yu, and then called Li Yu to sit down.
"Haha! You can't rely on me. It was Li Xueyi who cheated you away. You can go and ask Li Xueyi for trouble!" Seeing that Li Xiuning was dissatisfied with what happened last night, Li Yu sold Li Xueyi directly.
He handed the good dwarf wine to Li Yu, and Li Xiuning stared at the apricot and said, "Hmph! Let's not talk about Li Xueyi's affairs for now, why didn't you stop him?"
Li Yu had a look of embarrassment on his face: "The main reason is that I know there is still a big battle today? What if you drink too much, how can you command the war? And I don't like the drunken look."
Since Li Yu had already said that, she felt embarrassed to get angry again, her face turned red, she picked up the wine bowl and touched Li Yu, took the wine bowl without any haste, and drank half a bowl in one gulp.
——After a while!
"Drinking this wine! I feel the exotic style and natural beauty again... it's really strange?" Li Xiuning showed an intoxicated expression on her face, and her beautiful eyes looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't explain anything, and the main reason was that he couldn't explain it to her, but he just picked up the dwarf wine and started drinking it.
The two of them had one sentence, nothing but talked about the topic of dwarf wine. In less than a while, Li Xiuning became a little drunk.
Li Xiuning suddenly changed the topic, looked at Li Yu with a blushing face and said, "Do you know Li Yu? When I saw Xueyi being chopped off by Zong Luo today, how helpless was I at that time?"
Li Yu did not respond, and it sounded that Li Xiuning took the initiative to talk about her past with Li Xueyi and Uncle Fu.
"When I was a child, I saved Fu Bo and Xueyi who were about to starve to death when I was fleeing famine, my father and son stayed in our Li family since then. From then on, Li Xueyi followed me in a chat, and he took care of me like a brother...
Later, the uprising was successful, Xueyi and Fu Bo made great contributions, and I wanted to free them from slavery, but Fu Bo and Xueyi disagreed. In fact, in my heart, I always regarded them as relatives, and never regarded them as family slaves... Later, because of the reward of meritorious ministers, their father and son took off their slavery and became my retainer in order to increase my influence..."
“…”
Human beings are very disgusted with Li Yu, who claims to be a literary young man, but unfortunately he is unable to change it. This is the case in the whole era. All the people are already accustomed to this class classification. They are also fighting desperately in order to enter the upper class.
Even in later generations, in the 1980s and 1990s, rural farmers were complacent to make connections with a city's household registration and could become urban people... Even when Li Yu traveled through time and bought commercial housing in the city, there were also various restrictions on rural household registration, not to mention the ancient times when the class level was very serious.
Maybe this is the bad nature of all mankind!!!
"When I saw Xueyi almost killed by Zong Luo today, my heart felt like I was pinched, and it seemed like the flesh on my body was about to be cut off... Later, I saw him being saved, do you know how grateful I am to the person who saved Xueyi?" Li Xiuning said this emotionally, with a look of luck on her face, and then picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all.
Li Yu understood that Li Xiuning had a deep relationship with Uncle Fu and Li Xueyi and his son, and she was a person with a personality. It was normal for her to have this behavior today. He did not speak or respond, but sat there listening to her talk about her and Uncle Fu and his son...
