When Deng Jingshan heard Song Yu say this, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Why should Li Ze underestimate Zhang Shuai so much? Just because we lost a game by the Yishui River? If we won that game, we would probably be in a different way."

Song Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Governor, we not only lost on the banks of the Yishui River, but also suffered defeat in Yingzhou and Mozhou. Now that we have lost the richest place and are forced to wander in the wild Northeast, it is no wonder that Li Ze looks down on us."

"Liaozhou, Yingzhou and other places are indeed barren, but the land is vast, the minerals are abundant, and there are actually quite a lot of people. As long as we completely conquer this land, there is still a lot of potential." Deng Jingshan sneered: "Look at Pingzhou now, we have been here for only more than two years, and have reclaimed so many fertile fields. The land here is so fertile. Although we can only plant one season of food every year, the vast land is enough to make up for this shortcoming."

Song Yu said: "Governor, Pingzhou is indeed undergoing large-scale development now, but don't forget that the real wealth is not in our hands, but in the hands of Liu Siyuan and others. Even if we go back this time, the situation will be more difficult than before. In the past, you still had troops far surpassed him and could be suppressed by him, but after this time, the strength of both sides has been reversed. Even Marshal Zhang may not support you with such an obvious attitude."

Deng Jingshan said angrily: "Shishang Zhang must understand in his heart that people like Liu Siyu will only be loyal to themselves and will never go through fire and water for Shuai Zhang."

"Standard Zhang certainly understands, but what can Zhang do? So after going back, we can only rely on ourselves to get back our disadvantages bit by bit until we completely overwhelmed the other party. In the past, you were too kind to them. If you listened to me, you would have taken the opportunity to take down the Liu family when you first entered Pingzhou, and now you would have been much better." Song Yu sighed.

"Why did you dare to do this in that situation at that time?" Deng Jingshan shook his head, not regretting it.

"Governor, after we go back this time, we will change our course," Song Yu said.

"How to change courses?"

Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "In the past, when we first entered Pingzhou and other places, we had to spare our efforts to deal with the local natives in order to stabilize our rule. The local tycoons were breathless under our suppression. This did help us gain a foothold in Pingzhou as fast as possible, but it also brought negative effects, that is, people like Liu Siyuan took the opportunity to grow up. After returning this time, our strength was far inferior to Liu Siyuan. Those who could unite with us were these local tycoons."

Deng Jingshan nodded slightly.

"With our support, those local tyrants can compete with Liu Siyuan and gradually increase our strength bit by bit." Song Yu said: "Secondly, over the past two years, I have been paying attention to Li Ze's rule in Guizhou and other places. Their practices have also reminded us that those savages, miscellaneous people, and small tribes can actually become our help. If we no longer capture them as slaves and no longer impose heavy taxes on them, they can actually do more for us."

"You mean?"

"Learn Li Ze's approach, lend them to these households, give them land, give them cattle and sheep, give them farm tools, teach them how to farm. As long as these people settle down in a certain place for a long time, they can create wealth for us. No more taxes are given, so that they can see hope. Every year, they will praise our virtues and work wholeheartedly on the land. Isn't this much better than the one-time transaction we used to do?" Song Yu was a little excited.

"But it takes time!"

"We used to worry that Li Ze would attack in large numbers, so we dried up the pond and killed chickens to get eggs, but now we have time." Song Yu said: "How long do you think it will take Li Ze to defeat Zhu Wen?"

"The strengths of these two families are almost the same? Who can defeat whom can still be said now." Deng Jingshan shook his head and said.

"Let's go!" Song Yu said: "The closer they are, the longer they want to defeat their opponents, so are we still afraid that we don't have time? Li Ze can manage those poor places well. Why can't we learn their policies? We couldn't learn them before, but now, we have the conditions. If we don't learn Li Ze's style, how can we defeat Liu Siyuan and regain power?"

Deng Jingshan clenched his fists and hammered the table: "That's all. Without strength, there will be nothing left. If you don't defeat Liu Siyuan, the Grand Marshal will only value him more in the future. Even if I am the Grand Marshal's old brother, the Grand Marshal is also a practical person. If I lose my strength, at most I will give me a false position to support my old age."

"The governor should not be optimistic, Shi Yi is not the old brother of the Grand Marshal?" Song Yu sneered: "The winner takes everything. Shi Yi will die without hesitation in order to survive his family, but how is his son Shi Kuan now? He has been demoted again and again, and has now become a small official who has farmed. The governor doesn't want to fall to this point, right?"

Deng Jingshan's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Aren't you going to start sending the wounded soldiers tomorrow? I took a look with you and visited Han Qi, Liu Chenglin and others." Song Yu said: "Han Qi came here, I'm afraid it was just to end the war with us. He must have brought Li Ze's latest instructions. Once we talked to him, we would feel more at ease."

"In this way, there will be Sima." Deng Jingshan said: "Tell Han Qi that I agree to take five thousand people away, but I will choose these five thousand people myself."

"I see."

The next day, when it was dawn, the first batch of 500 most seriously injured Lu Long soldiers were sent out of the Lu Long Army camp and reached the central line of confrontation between the two sides. Lu Long soldiers put down the wounded and turned around and left amid the cry of the wounded.

The wounded did not know what they would face, they only knew that their companions abandoned them and handed them over to the enemy.

Song Yu's face twitched a little, but he was still standing firmly on the snow.

When Lu Long left, the soldiers of the Right Guard walked over. In groups of two people, they raised the stretcher and headed towards the Right Guard Camp. At this point, the seriously injured finally put away their tears. The left and right guards were already like this. At worst, they were just a word of death.

But the injustice and resentment in my heart is always lingering.

In the camp of the Right Xiaowei, the huge field hospital immediately became busy. The doctors and medicines of the entire army have been concentrated in the field hospital at this moment.

Accompanied by Gu Han, Song Yu, after witnessing the military physicians of the Right Guard starting to treat the seriously injured, he left the field hospital.

He knew that he would never see these wounded again.

Even if they recover from the injury in the future, their hearts will no longer belong to Lu Long's army.

Unlike the large tent in Deng Jingshan, which looked like an igloo, Liu Chenglin's central army tent was as warm as spring. An iron stove was installed in the center of the tent, next to it was neatly tidied. An iron tube stuck out from the stove and directly reached outside the tent. Liu Chenglin, Han Qi, Xue Chong and others sat around the stove. A copper pot on the stove kept emitting steam from the mouth of the pot.

When Song Yu walked in, several people in the room stood up.

"Sima Song, should you feel relieved now?" Han Qi, as the highest official position here, said to Song Yu with a smile.

Song Yu bowed and said, "Great Yi, Song Yu thanked him here."

Han Qi smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to the stove, saying, "Please."

Song Yu sat down, put his hand on the stove surface, and felt the warmth coming from the stove surface, and followed Gu Han, who came in, moved a small stool and sat behind several people.

"I think the governor Deng has understood what we mean." Han Qi said: "Since Song Sima has come here, I think she agrees with this."

Song Yu nodded: "At present, we actually have no other way out. In order to reduce losses, we can only do this. I would like to ask, does Li Xiang mean to have a full ceasefire with us Lu Long?"

"Of course, we can even sign a treaty with you!" Han Qi smiled and said, "When it came, Li Xiang meant that not only could we have a ceasefire, but we could also have other aspects of cooperation, such as comprehensive economic cooperation?"

Song Yu was a little disbelief: "Economic cooperation?"

"Of course, there are no mutual communications! You have a lot of things we need, and we can also give you a lot of things you lack! Since everyone is no longer fighting, the business will naturally start, don't you?" Han Qi said with a smile.

"Are you not afraid that our economy will become a threat to you after it develops?" Song Yu asked.

"We hope you can manage and manage the Northeast well." Liu Chenglin knocked on the stove and said with a smile: "In this way, when we take over, we will no longer be as wild as we are now, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?"

"General Liu is very confident." Song Yu said coldly.

"Of course I have confidence." Liu Chenglin smiled and said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have allowed Governor Deng to leave so generously this time."

Song Yu was silent for a moment, and simple verbal disputes were meaningless.

"We have to choose these five thousand people."

"no problem."

"These five thousand people must have complete weapons and armor, otherwise it will be useless if we go back!"
