Chapter 87 Dividing the spoils
Hao Lianbote said to the deceased official: "Khan has an order to release His Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty and his subordinates immediately."
...
Li Ke and Quan Wanji, who had been walking around the gate of hell, were in a complicated mood when they saw the scumbag king Li You who was full of energy. They were glad that they saved their lives. They were also angry, and this time they were slapped in the face again.
Li Ke said awkwardly: "Thank you, fifth brother."
Quan Wanji became even more embarrassed. He bowed his hand and opened his mouth, but never said the word "Thank you".
Li You didn't care, he just smiled.
The officials who followed Li Ke and were tied to the court never dreamed that they could escape from death. They all cried with joy and stepped forward to express their gratitude to Li You.
Soon, Li You took them away from the execution ground.
Outside the city, Xue Wanjun and others also met Baihu and others at the moment when they were about to break through, and resolved the crisis.
Li You, Li Ke, Xue Wanjun and others attended the shocking banquet held by Murong Zun. Then they took the troops to leave Fuqi City.
The headquarter of the reinforcements of the Western Expedition Army was temporarily set up here.
Hou Junji and Li Daozong have experienced countless wars and have never been so relaxed. They are idle every day, eating and drinking, and their lives are very leisurely.
Yesterday, they had received news that King Li Ke and others of Shu and the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army had escaped from danger and were about to arrive in Shanzhou today. Hou Junji and others sent people to wait along the way. As soon as they saw Li Ke and others, they immediately came back to report the message.
Finally they entered the territory of Longyoudao of the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke and others and the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army who had survived the disaster completely relaxed their hearts.
That night, Li You, Li Ke and his group moved into the inn.
In Li You's room, Li You, Gao Yong, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, Bai Hu and Hamid drank and chatted.
Li You said: "General Gao, is there any news about the 100 people you left in the Salt Water Bend?"
Gao Yong said, "Thank you, Your Highness, they have received the order and are rushing back, and will be back soon."
"That's good." Li You said.
Zhang Baogui said: "Brother You, we have counted the property of the Tubo people in Fuqi City. Guess how many are there?"
Those involved in the robbery of the Tubo people were Gao Yong, Zhang Baogui, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, Hou Cheng, Li Duan, Bai Hu and their men, as well as Hamid's men.
Everyone was very interested and their eyes were staring at Zhang Baogui's big mouth.
Zhang Baogui smiled and said, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
Hou Cheng looked down on Zhang Baogui's enchantment and urged: "Baogui, how many are you?"
"Hahahaha, let me tell you, the cash is 253,000 guan, and the jewelry and jade are worth more than 1.2 million guan. Haha, haha!" Zhang Baogui smiled proudly.
"So many!" Everyone was excited.
Zhang Baogui said: "Brother You, I have calculated it. The people who participated in the robbery, plus the 100 people left by General Gao in the Salt Shuiwan, totaled 476 people, and a total of 27 people died in battle during this period."
His statistics include those brought back from Chang'an by Li You and others, those brought back to Fuqi City by Gao Yong, and those who stayed in the Salt Water Bend.
Li You said to Hamid: "Old Ha, I will give you half of the jewelry and jade, and you can give me 150,000 guan of cash, okay?"
