Chapter 158 Recruiting Talents, Growing Wings (2)

Xiao Yat and his entourage left Wollongong, quickly chased north, and finally caught up with the brigade near Yecheng, and then climbed a high mountain to the northeast and entered the territory of Yuzhou-Runan County, so that the battle of the south was completely over.

From the dispatch of troops in the spring of the eighth year of Jian'an to the return of the division in the winter of the tenth year of Jian'an, the battle of the south lasted for nearly two years, after dozens of battles of all sizes, how many soldiers died on the battlefield, how many brothers and sisters were buried in other places, and how many cities were reduced to ruins?

"Haha! --Whining! --Click! ”

Now that he has finally survived the Central Plains, some people are silent, some people look up to the sky and laugh wildly, and some people are crying, and the iron heart is like Xiao Yi, and his eyes have become swaying, may the troubled times end as soon as possible!

Next, Xiao Yi ordered to be stationed in Runan County for three days, and rewarded the whole army with lambs and wine, which was not only to stabilize the morale of the army, but also to dissipate the strength of the soldiers, so as not to do something harmful to the people.

The people who crawled out of the pile of dead people have a bit of abnormal mentality, and they are not suitable for a peaceful environment.

"The last general will pay homage to the Great Sima, and the apprentices will see the master!"

"It's good to come back, you've worked hard all the way!"

……………

Within two days, there was good news again, Dian Wei and Hao Zhao came back with 10,000 Xuanjia troops, and after the two armies converged, there was another warm celebration!

After the Battle of Wulin, in order to confuse the sight of the enemy, Dian Wei and Hao Zhao led a group of men and horses to break through to the east, crossed the Dabie Mountains, and entered the territory of Lujiang County, turning the world upside down.

He joined Zhang Liao's men and horses, fought a few battles with the Jiangdong Army, killed corpses all over the field, blood flowed like a river, almost captured Zhuge Jin alive, and garrisoned the north bank of the river several times, making a situation of crossing the river to the south, which frightened Sun Quan and restless!

When Zhou Yu fought in Xiangyang, the soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and ordnance in the rear could not support for a long time, and they were restrained by Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and others, otherwise the Jiangdong Group would go westward with all its might, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield in Xiangyang would be unpredictable?

When Cao, Liu, and Sun negotiated peace, the dust settled on the battlefield in Jingzhou, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei also collected their troops and went back, one continued to sit in Shouchun City, monitoring Jiangdong's every move, and the other led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to join the team.

"Drink well! --Drink! --Soldiers win the drink! ”

……………………

The grand celebration banquet began, not in the tent, but in the flat open space, Xiao Yi sat in the center, the civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded them, constantly raising their arms and shouting, making a neat shout!

On the roaring bonfire, all kinds of food are barbecued, exuding bursts of aroma, as well as the best worry-free spirits, the entrance is like a fire, and the whole body is as comfortable as being transparent!

It was already the cold winter season, and the north wind was howling on the land, but the soldiers were drinking and cutting meat with knives, and they were sweating profusely, and some were happy to eat and drink, or wrestling with each other for fun, or singing like wolves......

"In Xia Zhuge Changshui, please take care of your predecessors!"

"I heard that he was invited out of the mountain by Da Sima, Zhuge Kongming's brother!"

"Zhuge has three brothers, all of them are talented people, and Da Sima has picked up a treasure again!"

…………………

At the celebration banquet, Xiao Yi personally led Zhuge Jun to toast all the Wenwu in turn, and by the way, he introduced his identity, and learned that this was Zhuge Kongming's younger brother, and everyone couldn't help but be in awe!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi officially issued an order to seal Zhuge as a subordinate official of the Marquis of Wuwufu, specifically responsible for the construction of water conservancy and military tun governance.

Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian also participated in the banquet, drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls with the soldiers, and they were a heroic mess, they were semi-forced, but after a few days of contact, they had a different feeling.

Xiao Yi's rewards and punishments are clear, military discipline is like iron, and the generals of all departments obey the order, and none of them dare to harass the people, which is very rare in the army of many princes!

It's just that the army is strict and can fight well, which is not enough to surprise the three wise men, what really impresses them is that Xiao Yi is not only extremely strong in martial arts, but also has a very high level of civil governance!

Sitting around the banquet of the Chinese army were the students who accompanied the army, Confucianism, Legalism, Moism, Taoism, Buddhism, Yin and Yang, and Zongheng...... There are all the children of hundreds of families, which can be said to be full of talents!

After the baptism of the bloody battlefield, the former young students are now reborn, all of them have bright eyes, calm momentum, and straight waists, as if the sky has fallen, and they can withstand it!

"No worries about the golden cup of wine, if you want to drink the pipa, you will urge immediately, drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people returned to fight in ancient times............ Today's army division triumphed, and the soldiers drank in the wild, the great Sima sighed, there are a few bowls of wine to pay tribute to everyone:"

When the wine was half-drunk, Xiao Yi suddenly left the table and got up, raised the golden bowl in his hand, and signaled to the soldiers from all over the world, the large banquet of tens of thousands of people was silent in an instant, and they all knew that Da Sima had something to say.

Some people also secretly marveled that Da Sima was not only good at fighting, but also so good at writing, and a few sentences recited casually made people have endless memories...... How many people have returned to the ancient war?

"The first bowl of wine, to the soldiers present, with the great Sima charging into battle, born and dying, it is with your help that the great Sima can repeatedly defeat the strong enemy and kill the prestige of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang!

After returning to Xuchang, we must reward meritorious deeds, let the soldiers be glorious and rich, seal their wives and children, and enjoy the days of being a master - winning and drinking! ”

"Drink well! --Willing to die for the Great Sima...... I am willing to die for Da Sima! ”

Xiao Yi and the soldiers raised their glasses, drank the celebration wine together, cheered one after another, followed the big Sima to fight on the expedition, always in addition to winning the battle, the reward was also the most, gold and silver, silk, fertile land, and beauties!

The little queen sat on the side, hurriedly stepped forward with the wine jar, and filled Xiao Yi's golden bowl, her eyes were full of admiration, Sun Shangxiang sat on the other side, but she was not jealous at all, and repeatedly stroked her lower abdomen, her face was full of happiness!

It turned out that Xiao Yi had not forgotten his hard work in addition to the battle, Sun Shangxiang had 'goods' in her belly, and the woman who was about to become a mother was emotionally generous, because the child was the first and the husband was the second!

"This second bowl of wine is dedicated to the soldiers and people who died on the battlefield, all of whom are the descendants of Yan and Huang and the blood of the Han family, so why bother killing each other?

May the war dead turn into ghosts, and the heroic souls often surround the side of the battle flag, bless the army to be invincible, and may the people who died in vain ascend to heaven and enjoy the world of balance when they are reincarnated in the next life! ”

Xiao Yat poured the second bowl of wine on the ground and silently prayed for the victims, and the soldiers did the same, and many of them even cried bitterly, because among the war dead were their friends, villagers, and even relatives!

Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian also spilled wine on the ground, they have lived in Jingzhou for many years, and they know the horror of this war, the population has decreased by more than one-third, and the city and countryside have been damaged countless times.

Fight for land and fight for the wilderness, fight for the city, kill the city...... If you want to restore the peaceful and prosperous world, the only way is to sweep away the princes and stop the war with war, but there are many heroes and heroes in the world, who can raise the banner of unity?

Cao Cao was a traitor in the troubled times, led hundreds of thousands of horses to the south, trying to swallow the south, but Wulin was defeated and fled in a battle, and also lost the opportunity for reunification.

Although Liu Bei is the uncle of the Han Emperor, it is too late to rise, and the current power is too small, even if there is Wolong and Phoenix Chicks to assist, it is good to be able to dominate one side, and it is very little to unify the world!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the three wise men all fell on Xiao Yi, in the next twenty or thirty years, I am afraid that the only one who is expected to dominate the world is this great Sima.

A new 'human master' is rising, whether the three of them are self-sustaining and useless bystanders, or are they trying their best to assist and leave their names in history in the future, the three of them look at each other and fall into deep thought!

"This third bowl of wine should be given to my enemies, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, and Pan Zhang...... and Zhou Gongjin, they are all heroes!

It is their accumulated white bones that have created the prestige of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', and it is they who persecuted this great Sima and made this great achievement, but unfortunately they have all returned to the underworld, and this great Sima is really lonely! ”

Xiao Yi's third bowl of wine was sprinkled into the sky in all directions, his eyes were full of loneliness, and he said that life is a game, and a wonderful game must have opponents, but there are fewer and fewer opponents......

Fortunately, there are Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu...... I hope they will stick to it for a longer time and play with themselves for a while, otherwise how will they survive the long road of life?

"The Great Sima hero is invincible in the world!"

"The Great Sima hero is invincible in the world!"

………………

The loneliness in Xiao Yi's heart may not be understood by the people around him, but Da Sima's great military exploits, the soldiers saw it clearly, and they raised their wine bowls one after another to pay tribute to the heroes in their hearts!

Xiao Yi was also arrogant, simply threw away the wine bowl, directly lifted a wine jar, and drank wildly with the people around him, the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax, and laughter filled the camp.

But the banquet of tens of thousands of people, talking about different things, ordinary soldiers, talking about this southern expedition, a total of how many heads were cut off, how many feats were made, and after returning to Xuchang City, how many rewards can they receive!

The senior generals, strategists, and students talked much richer, first summarizing the battle of the Southern Expedition, the strengths and weaknesses of the three forces, as well as the strategic gains and losses, and also turning the sand table on the ground and re-enacting several major battles!

He also talked about the killing of the troubled times, the destruction of the living souls, the rise and fall of the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties, and the influential figures that appeared in the middle, and finally converged into a big proposition: the good and evil of human nature?
