Chapter 189

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, there were generals and captains, all looking at Su Lu curiously.

This is the brave general who broke Tule camp. Overnight, he broke four camps, threw away his armor and solved the crisis in Beiyang.

Su Lu waved his hand: "OK, it's all scattered. I'll meet the general and see what the general has to say."

Dong Cheng glared at Zhang Gu and Zhang Lu. Their grandsons were really in the way. I wanted to discuss his marriage with my niece with Su Lu. They were particularly spoiled.

Holding Su Lu's arm attentively, Dong Cheng smiled and said, "it's OK to see the general first, but it's agreed. You have to come to our camp when you're done. I have something to tell you."

Su Lu nodded, drove away the generals and captains and entered the big tent of the Chinese army.

He Geng and Lin Tong are whispering something. Fan Wenshao is writing brochures on one side of the table, and several are reviewing the mountains of military brochures.

Seeing Su Lu, Lintong took the lead in standing up. His old face was full of smiles. He walked up and patted Su Lu on the shoulder.

"Well, Lord Su is still the invincible Lord su. I was frightened when I saw the last battle last night. I won. I not only saved Zhang Gu, but also broke the four camps of Tule. Good!"

He Geng also came over: "I have written in the three provinces, and all the soldiers participating in the war are awarded the first rank of honor and ten thousand money."

"The Marquis has made outstanding contributions and won countless. If there is no accident, the title will move."

Fan Wenshao came over with a booklet in his hand and congratulated Su Lu. "This is the booklet for reporting merit. Do you want to see it? If you are dissatisfied, we'll add it."

Su Lu took the booklet and looked through it again. His face became ugly.

"What about the war dead? Is there no pension for the war dead?"

He Geng and Lin Tong were stunned at the same time. Fan Wenshao hesitated and said, "there is no such practice in the army. Lord Hou, he always doesn't ask about the death in battle."

He Geng patted fan Wenshao on the shoulder and said.

"Sit down first. Lord Hou was very tired after fighting all night yesterday. Sit down first."

Su Lu sat down in his chair, read the pamphlet again, considered it carefully and said, "I have no opinion about the soldiers' request for meritorious service with me. I just want to know how to camp to pay for the dead?"

Three people, you look at me and I look at you. I haven't spoken for a long time.

Finally, Lintong said, "the three provinces will not take out this money. Otherwise, after defeating the Tule army this time, our army won a lot of horses and materials, including hundreds of thousands of taels of silver plundered by Tule. Half of it will be used for the comfort of the dead. What do you think, marquis?"

Su Lu nodded and looked at fan Wenshao: "I hope Lord fan will sort out the list of pensions for the dead as soon as possible and prepare the pension silver and materials. I'll take their robes and send them down."

Lintong's face stagnated: "materials will also be sent!"

Su Lu's eyes narrowed: "of course, materials should be distributed. Otherwise, how can hundreds of thousands of liang of silver be enough for the pension of a human life.

For you, a soldier killed in battle is just a number in the military affairs booklet, for their families. That's the pillar of the family. It's just a little silver. What can I do? "

What else did Lintong want to say? He Geng waved his hand and stopped him, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Lord Hou's request seems to be for the families of the dead. In fact, it's not for our camp."

"The death of a soldier is the grief of a family. There are more and more wars and more people die. If the morale of the army changes, it will be difficult for us to fight.

Lord Hou's request is a good way to unite the morale of the army. We'll take the silver and materials. If the three provinces have any blame, I will bear it. "

Lintong wanted to say something more. Seeing the tears in he Geng's eyes, he wisely agreed immediately.

"The general is right. The Marquis is also thinking about camping. Give the dead soldiers better treatment, and the morale of the team will be much higher."

Su Lu looked at he Geng suspiciously. He wondered why old man he suddenly changed his mouth. He saw tears in his eyes. Did he have this experience.

He Geng continued: "the matter of the pension for the dead in battle is troublesome for the marquis. The Marquis loves soldiers like a son. I believe the marquis will not do anything on it."

"Hou ye came here. He must want to ask about the governor of the left army?"

He Geng continued.

Su Lu nodded. Even if you continue to let me be the commander of the left army and give me 4000 people, I have no problem, but now you have installed a name for me as the commander of the army, but only one army is given the command. What do you mean.

Lintong strode to the back of the handsome case, opened the defense map, pointed to the left and said.

"Lord Hou, please see, this is the area that the left road army needs to sweep. What are the characteristics of starting from Beiyang, passing through Maya mountain pass, entering Beizheng, going to suozibao and moving to Guanguan?"

Su Lu glanced and said, "everything is flat except a few cities."

Lintong patted his thigh and said proudly, "Lord Hou, if you have an army of cavalry, can you get to Gongqian pass one day and one night?"

Su Lu calculated silently and said, "there's no problem getting there, but the horses are estimated to be tired to death, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers..."

"I'm afraid the combat effectiveness will be more terrible."

Linton said, with a flying look on his face.

"With the battle last night, I believe that as long as Tule's right wing observation is not stupid, he will know that the combat effectiveness of Hou Ye's generals, whether tired, defeated or victorious, is not comparable to that of ordinary generals. He must be extremely prepared for your soldiers."

He Geng next to him said, "I rushed to Gongqian pass day and night, and then attacked the city all night, broke his Gongqian pass and cut off his way back to the north. I don't believe he is not afraid."

Lintong put away his defense map, sat down beside Su Lu and said proudly:

"This is Yang Mou. He can see what he can do in the right compartment. I want to do it like this, which makes him worried all the time and afraid of being cut off by the marquis."

He Geng had some regrets: "there are still too few cavalry in our army. It's not easy to collect 4000."

Su Lu said in his heart that you two really looked at me and continued to ask, "in that case, where is our army stationed?"

He Geng picked up a military affairs booklet and handed it to Su Lu: "the right route army and the Chinese army will start one after another these days. When we have leveled Yanzhou and Xitun ridge, Lord Hou, you will directly enter Beizheng and take Beizheng County as soon as possible."

Su Lu nodded and took Beizheng as quickly as possible, which is equivalent to telling Tule that I can take Beizheng if I march for half a day.

If we start from Beizheng and then move to gongqianguan, how many miles is it? The pressure on Tule must be greater. In the front line of Xitun ridge and Yuci, Tule's army will shrink even more.

Su Lu got up and saluted the two generals with fists: "in this case, the last general will go back and prepare. When the army starts, he will march on another day."
