The rough battle results were quickly calculated.

This time, he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, attacked the killer, and achieved a brilliant victory. He planned to behead more than 1,200 people and captured more than 800 people. The rest of the thieves dispersed - their fate was not much better, and there were still many people around Luoyang.

Okay, go a little further, Marshal Wubao, the manor owners will capture them all and become part of the manor slave group. Not many of them can return to Hebei.

Mi Huang was very satisfied with the result and laughed as soon as he saw Shao Xun: "I expected to win this battle, but I didn't expect the victory to be so clean and tidy. Shao Jun rushed left and right, killing many people and ranking first in merit."

.”

Shao Xun smiled modestly and said: "It's just a matter of calculation and unpreparedness. The thieves are not elite soldiers. This result is just an ordinary thing."

"It's not as simple as Xiao Langjun said." Mi Huang sighed with emotion and said: "I just asked the generals who were fighting, and I learned that Xiao Langjun took the lead and made changes in his direction, killing the enemy troops and leaving in embarrassment. If it were changed.

One person may be able to win, but it will never be possible to win so cleanly. If you have merit, you have merit, and I will definitely report it to Sikong."

Shao Xun smiled again and said nothing.

What's the use of reporting? It's just a reward of money and silk. There is no official position available for him at this time. What's more, he is too young and promoted too quickly, which can easily cause other people to complain - he is not the king of the Sima clan.

Or a child of a wealthy family can lead an army in his twenties.

When Mi Huang said this, He Lun and Wang Bing arrived hand in hand.

Wang Bing hadn't said anything yet, but He Lun was really convinced. He just heard him say: "Two hundred selected forwards broke into the camp and turned the three thousand thieves into chaos. When I arrive with the army, I can only clean up."

It's an endgame. This battle was a convincing one."

He Lun was the general of the army. He had already spoken, and Wang Bing could only echo a few words: "The place of bravery and vigor is hard to find in this world, and I am convinced."

The sedan chair was carried by everyone.

Shao Xun is so brave, they can also share some benefits. After all, the three thousand Kingdom Army is a whole.

As a result, one officer after another came to visit and say a few compliments, either sincere or false.

Of course Shao Xun didn't believe it all.

He Lun and Wang Bing would certainly say some kind words when they were agitated, but when it came to specific disputes over interests, they would calm down and do what they should.

People, you have to distinguish between truth and lies - well, there are also half-truths and half- lies, or words that can be true or false due to entanglement and hesitation.

Yang Bao was the last one to walk. After everyone had dispersed, he came over mysteriously and whispered: "Sima, the sudden generals are full of praise for you, and even worshiped you, saying that in the future

I still want to follow you, I don’t want to go back to my original team.”

"That's it?" Shao Xun picked up the cowhide water bag, took a sip of water, and asked casually.

Yang Bao smiled awkwardly, and then told his true purpose: "Sima, these people are so brave and good at fighting, and they all admire you. Why don't you ask the lieutenant to come forward, promote them to corps commanders, or even commanders, and incorporate them into the upper army?

He Lun

The people he recruited were reluctant to fight. The people he recruited from Luoyang City were hesitant and timid when they fought. When they saw that our side was about to win, they showed their strength. Their leading officers were not good at all.

He should be pushed out."

Shao Xun was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "I know your loyalty, but I can't do it now."

"Why?"

"The war is coming. There are some things that should be dealt with slowly and not in a hurry."

"No." Yang Bao nodded disappointedly.

It's been half a year since he was transferred to the front building, and it's not like he hasn't hesitated.

In the beginning, he came to report every trivial matter and was very diligent. But after two or three months, he came less and less frequently, and he was obviously shaken.

But after seeing that Gao Yi was subdued, he changed his stance again and came to report every now and then.

This slippery man is out of control!

"Go down and tell Gao Yi to assemble the troops and let's enter the city." Shao Xun handed the cowhide water bag to Wu Qian and said.

"No." Yang Bao responded obediently.

After Yang Bao left, Wu Qian couldn't help but ask: "Sima, why did you enter the city?"

"The fighting here is over, and the thieves dare not come back. I just heard what the lieutenant said, the thieves on the Guangmomen side have also been defeated, and there is nothing going on in the north of the city. What's the point of not entering the city? I will tell the lieutenant separately.

You take someone to pack things." Shao Xun ordered.

"promise."

There are only two gates on the north side of Luoyang, the Daxia Gate in the west and the Guangmo Gate in the east.

Thousands of Ye soldiers from the two gates were defeated. The war here was indeed over. Only a few men and horses were left to guard the gates, and the large army could enter the city.

****

On the smooth imperial road inside the Daxia Gate, thousands of sergeants lined up in neat formation and drove into the city.

The sound of killings at the twelve city gates, the sound of swords clashing, the sound of arrows piercing the air, and the endless screams of death have long made the entire city's soldiers and people panic.

The wealthy families have their own nursing home routines brought from their hometown.

They were armed with standard military weapons, armor, crossbows, swords and guns - who knows where they came from.

When they heard the footsteps of the army, the nursing staff immediately became nervous.

The young members of the family climbed onto the wall and looked carefully.

The older ones organized the child servants in the back and gave them simple weapons, basically whatever they were used for, including wooden sticks and hatchets. Not only the male servants, but also some strong women were holding wooden sticks, with expressions on their faces.

Nervous look.

As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor. Luoyang has been harmed so many times. If you don't improve the defense level of your mansion, you will be really stupid - not to mention dealing with the rebels, the bandits are becoming more and more arrogant and swarming in groups.

The trend is becoming more and more obvious, you have to deal with it, right?

In addition to the wealthy families, there are also businessmen who come to Beijing.

Don't underestimate them.

In this season, traveling across states and counties to do business, it is impossible to survive without some skills.

Shi Chong set a bad example of robbing business travelers, which will always touch the hearts of businessmen all over the world.

All the clan members and old acquaintances of the township party who were strong and physically strong were recruited here. They would practice farming techniques when they had nothing to do, so as not to be unable to resist when encountering bandits.

The increased costs due to this are naturally reflected in the price of the goods. There is no way, the troubled times are like this, let's just make do with it and endure it.

The entry of the East China Sea Kingdom's army into the city made the merchant guards very nervous. Some even took out the crossbows that were strictly prohibited from entering the civilian population from the bottom of the car. They stared at the intersection and secretly begged that no ignorant soldiers would come over.

As for ordinary people, they can only close the door tightly and tremble. However, there are also a few courageous families who have agreed to protect each other, but generally speaking, there are not many.

"The soldiers of the East China Sea defeated the Ye thieves."

"Let's all make a living and don't wander around."

"If you make noise and cause chaos, you will be shot without mercy."

A dozen sergeants with loud voices lined up at the front, holding the severed head of General Ye with their spears, shouting as they walked.

Occasionally, masked young men appeared on the royal road. When they ran into their hands, they stabbed them with spears and killed them all.

Whenever there is a war or when the situation is chaotic, "evil boys" will appear in groups, stealing or robbing, and even setting fires and killing people. It is really a scourge - the reason for wearing masks is that they are afraid of being recognized by acquaintances.

, or die by robbing an acquaintance.

The shouts of the Royal Army had a strange effect.

They did not rob or kill. They only marched in neat columns. Occasionally they encountered bandits, evil youths, or Hebei rebels who were stunned and broke into the city. They killed them with swords and guns. They were purely trying to stabilize the situation.

order.

The tense strings in people's hearts gradually relaxed, and some people even cheered in low voices - maybe they were people who were annoyed by Ye Bing's blackmail.

It was also at this time that the reputation of the East China Sea Kingdom Army began to spread further.

The people of Luoyang gradually learned that in addition to the Chinese army, there was also such a force with considerable combat effectiveness and good military discipline in Luoyang City.

If Luoyang faces the threat of war again in the future, perhaps we can rely on them - reputation is invisible and intangible, but sometimes it can play a great role, even a key role.

Shao Xun carefully observed the expressions on the soldiers' faces.

He saw many proud faces, especially when some people cheered. The soldiers held their heads high and their chests high, and the originally perfunctory queue became more orderly.

People need affirmation.

People who have won battles especially need recognition, which can help improve their self-confidence.

When you have strong self-confidence, you can perform at a higher level.

When you are not confident, it is difficult to perform at your usual training level.

A strong army requires scientific, systematic and arduous training, as well as self-confidence.

They are still a little far apart now, but Shao Xun is already consciously cultivating them.

Especially those student soldiers who he regarded as treasures needed to be "fed" with victory after victory until he fed a powerful army capable of winning battles.

Sikong Mansion arrived soon, and security has been stepped up here.

Sikong's "new favorite", General Gou Xi of the Forbidden Army, sent five hundred elite soldiers to guard the place, occupying the surrounding area.
