It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 429

In this battle, Cheng Dalei did win, and it could even be said to be a complete victory.

Through this battle, he has made a judgment on the combat effectiveness of the five teams, at least this proves that the three-year training is not useless. And also used this to test the combat effectiveness of Liangzhou soldiers: not weak, but not strong.

But fighting, how can there be undead.

They also sacrificed their lives for this, and many brothers died on the battlefield. Sacrifice is inevitable, and new recruits may not even be able to hold their weapons tightly. Today, victory with a small casualty is due to the usual training.

I was just cleaning up the battlefield and grabbing the spoils, and at the same time, I was collecting the bodies of my dead brothers.

For example, Qin Man, Guan Yu and others don't take these matters very much. In this chaotic world, human life is not as expensive as Cheng Dalei imagined, and as a general, taking human life as a number is a necessary quality.

However, Cheng Dalei does not have this quality.

He has been reminding himself to hone his heart harder. If you want to live in this troubled world and live well, being weak will not work, you must be hard. It is harder than this troubled world, so that it will not be crushed by the wheels of troubled times.

When Cheng Dalei was still on his way back to Toad City, Lu Luo had already fled back to Liangzhou City with the remnants of defeated soldiers.

Although he is a civilian, Lu Luo has the heart of a military general. This time, Gao Feihu swaggered through Liangzhou, and Lu Luo couldn't ignore it. If you manage it, you must manage it thoroughly and wipe out the opponent in Liangzhou.

Song Bokang took people to Chang'an, leaving Lu Luo to manage Liangzhou City, and he grabbed the military and political power. I also want to take advantage of this to show my face.

As a result, he failed to show his face, instead he fell and his butt fell to the ground.

"Lord Lu!" The clerk under his command came to report: "Lord Song is back."

"Ah!" Lu Luo grinned. I just lost the battle today, and I was still thinking about how to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to cover up this incident. Why did Song Bokang come back at this time.

There was no way, Lu Luo had to bite the bullet and go to see Song Bokang. As soon as he entered the hall, he put his face down and said with a wronged face: "Master Song, you are back, that Cheng Dalei is really deceiving!"

"shut up!"

Song Bokang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He already knew what happened. How could he not know, just when he came back, someone reported the situation to him. Liangzhou City suffered serious losses, and after this battle, Liangzhou's vitality was severely damaged.

"I told you before I left that I told you to stick to the city and not move troops easily. Why did you disobey my orders?" Song Bokang said coldly.

"Sir..." Lu Luo's head hung down: "There are teams passing through my Liangzhou, I'm afraid that they are not good-natured, so they can't let them sway in the past..."

The more Lu Luo said, the lower his voice, 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, wouldn't he have become a waste like Li Xingzai. But he couldn't do anything to Lu Luo. After all, behind him was the Jiangnan Lu family, and if he moved him, he would not give the Lu family face. Of course, after this incident, even if Lu Luo's political life is over, this is the heaviest punishment for him.

"You... just do it yourself." Song Bokang sighed.

Seeing that Song Bokang didn't say anything, Lu Luo was also relieved. He asked tentatively, "Sir, why are you back? Has the situation in Chang'an changed again?"

"Well, there are indeed some changes." Song Bokang said: "I am here this time because I need to escort some food and grass into Beijing, and I also look at the situation in Liangzhou. Hmph, I didn't expect you to cause such a thing."

Lu Luo didn't dare to answer, this time he was reckless after all. After waiting for a while, he asked tentatively, "What happened over there in Chang'an?"

The night was silent, and a dim yellow candle was lit in the hall. The two lowered their voices and began to talk in secret.

...

After a day and night of running around, Cheng Dalei's troops returned to Toad City. When walking into Toad City, looking at the majestic city gate in front of him, his open mouth couldn't close for a while.

The city wall stands, and there are patrolling soldiers going back and forth. Everyone has a straight waist and round cheeks, which at least shows that eating a full meal in Toad City is not a problem. In today's empire, it is extremely difficult to have enough food every day.

It seems that the big boss here is very rich!

The streets in the city are very clean, the houses are neatly arranged, Gao Feihu is no longer Wuxia Amon. He could feel an anger in the streets, in the buildings, in the proud look on everyone's faces.

This is a place that is thriving.

"Master, are you doing well here?"

Cheng Dalei yawned: "Eat first, sleep later, and talk about other things when you wake up."

Running all the way, fighting another tough battle, in fact, everyone is exhausted. Fighting is really not a job done by humans.

Liu Bei, who stayed behind in the cottage, has led people to treat the wounded, deal with the remains of the brothers, and give some relief to the families of the casualties. Someone made a great contribution in this battle, and the family was beaming. Some people's parents and brothers died on the battlefield, followed by the misfortune of several families.

But in this troubled world, this misfortune is unavoidable.

He Shen arranged for Gao Feihu's subordinates to live in the barracks, and also arranged for the elderly and the weak to live in residential houses. It was not a simple matter to arrange these people at the same time. And what they need most now is food and a good night's sleep.

As for Cheng Dalei himself, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and after a simple meal, he also fell asleep.

This sleep lasted until dawn the next day, Cheng Dalei woke up from the bed in a daze, and heard a burst of noise from the street outside.

He put on his clothes and got out of bed, walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and saw that the streets were crowded with people singing and dancing.

Some people drank heavily and fell drunk on the street, while others stood on the high platform and sang out loud ditties that didn't make a tune. More people gathered together to brag about how many rewards they could get by killing a few more people during the battle. But at the same time, some people drink without saying a word, and their eyes are red.

Cheng Dalei immediately understood what they were doing, and it was a feast to celebrate victory. Almost every time they won a battle, they would get together to drink and have fun, vent their fears, and some people used alcohol to miss their deceased brothers.

As soon as Cheng Dalei came out, he was immediately surrounded by people, and a group of people headed by Gao Feibao stopped him and asked him to drink. Cheng Dalei picked up Yiwan and drank it, and then quickly found a chance to escape.

These idiots are the masters who are full of wine. If Cheng Dalei doesn't leave, he will be poured into a pile of mud by them.
