"Mr. Li, Deputy Chief A, Wang Er, is no longer able to do it. He said that he wants to meet Master before he dies."

The voice of the monk An of the rampant team was very low, and a rare sad look appeared on his rough face.

"Oh, take me to see him."

Li Xiao, who was commanding the military soldiers to use lime and nitrate to make the Tartars' heads, replied quickly, and turned around and walked towards Chen Mazi's clinic with Monk An.

"Wang Er was first knocked to the ground by a Tartar cavalry in this battle and almost trampled to death by a horse. Fortunately, he was smart enough to dodge. Then he killed two vest cavalrymen, but in the end he was accidentally stabbed in the chest by a white armor. Alas, it's all fate..." Monk An sighed while walking.

Li Xiao frowned with thick eyebrows, but said nothing, but the pace under his feet accelerated the faster.

When he entered the clinic, Li Xiao saw that Dr. Chen and several friends were hurriedly rectifying bones, clearing, applying medicine, applying splints, and applying bandages to the wounded soldiers. Then, Zu Wan'er and a group of women formed a nurse team to place these initially treated wounded soldiers, including minor injuries and serious injuries, on hospital beds in different areas, and were also responsible for decorating medicine, washing bandages, cooking medicine cuts, dispensing medicines and other auxiliary work.

Zu Wan'er saw Li Xiao and others coming in at a glance, but she was so busy that she had no time to chat with Li Xiao. She just nodded to Li Xiao from afar and went to work on her own.

"Sir, here."

Monk An pointed to a hospital bed in the corner. Li Xiao saw Wang Er, who was wrapped in a thick bandage on his chest, coughing constantly. Deputy Captain Wu Zhuang and several other rampant team members were guarding his bedside while whispering some comforting words.

"Mr. Li..."

Wang Er, the deputy commander of the second-level team, who was lying on the bed, caught a glimpse of Li Xiao strode towards him. He was extremely weak and raised his right hand with great effort and shook him at Li Xiao.

"Wang Er, don't move, I am here. Don't think about it, it will get better soon."

Li Xiao strode forward, held Wang Erban's raised right hand in both hands, and replied with concern.

Wu Zhuang and others next to him hurriedly took a few steps when they saw the Qianhu official Li Xiao coming.

Wang Er shook his head while coughing.

"Sir, I know that I really can't stand it this time. It's normal for me to eat food and die on the battlefield. But there is one thing, I must ask you, sir." Wang Er said hard, with a look of expectation on his face.

"Tell me."

"Mr. Li, you are the director of the Supervisor Department. I just want to ask you, can I really go to Heaven if I have been a thief like this?" Wang Er asked repeatedly with a cough.

"Of course, you can do it. If you know your mistakes and correct them, you are a hero. If even a warrior who is brave enough to fight the Tartar like you cannot go to the Heavenly Court, then who is qualified to go to the Heavenly Court?" Li Xiao's words were gentle and firm.

"Sir, to be honest, I don't want to go to heaven. I just want to live with my parents, my elder brother, and my sisters after death. They have land to grow, clothes and food to eat. The family lives a peaceful and stable life, and they are content." Wang Er squeezed out a bitter smile on his face, coughed suddenly, but sprayed a big mouthful of blood.

"Wang Er, don't worry, Tianting knows that your thoughts will definitely satisfy you." Li Xiao's eyes were wet. He carefully used a wet towel to wipe the blood from his mouth.

"Sir, I saw that I just had a request and wanted to say it to you." Wang Er gasped and said hurriedly.

"You said, I listened."

"Sir, after I die, I will not have any pensions. I am in the world and have no relatives, so I will give the pensions to me, so that my brothers in the army can eat better, and let them kill a few more Tatars to avenge me. I have only one requirement, that is, when I bury me, my grave is facing west, and I cannot serve my parents, and the dead ghosts will return to my hometown in Shanxi and be with them." After Wang Er said this long passage, he became more and more intermittent, but there were two lines of turbid tears in his eyes, which slowly flowed out.

"I promised you that I will do it. Don't worry."

Li Xiao's voice was choked. He stroked Wang Erjian's protruding forehead and found that Wang Er's face showed a faint smile, but his eyes gradually lost their luster. The right hand he held was holding no longer had any strength.

Tears flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and he forced himself to not flow out.

Does the heaven, the distant and holy heaven really exist?

But if the heaven full of eternal happiness does not exist, how can it comfort these loyal and brave souls, and how can it comfort those who are struggling to survive in troubled times!

These soldiers who died in battle for the country on the battlefield, these people who died tragically in troubled times, were like light smoke and wind, no one was worried or known. Their ultimate fate may be just an insignificant number written by historians.

In the dark history, there seems to be a force of darkness, jealous of the splendid civilization of China, and want to suppress it quickly. Yuan destroyed Song Dynasty, Qing Dynasty destroyed Ming Dynasty, these cruel and dark barbaric forces always interrupted the Chinese civilization when China was about to undergo changes, allowing Chinese civilization to reverse again and again. These people who long for peace and stability, who have land and planted and fed to eat, were displaced and died in tragic death. Especially the sinister Qing Dynasty's tampering with Chinese civilization, the clamping of the Han people's thoughts, the destruction of the national clothing and clothing, and China, which has been ahead of the world since ancient times, has finally become a clown in the international community. The various despicable and sinful thoughts and means have been poisoned to this day, which is regrettable.

Li Xiao felt like a big rock was blocking his chest, which made him tightly and suppress him. He wanted to shout and roar with the sky, but he found that he could not say anything.

"The weather is hot now, so we must cremate these brothers who died in battle as soon as possible and put them in urns. After our army returns, we will take them back to Shandong for a grand funeral."

Li Xiao, who came out of the clinic, had returned to his calm face. He reminded Guan Yi, deputy director of the Supervisory and Supervision Department.

"Don't worry, the students must do their jobs well," Guan Yi replied solemnly.

In addition to the severely injured soldiers, a total of 40 soldiers died in this battle. The bodies of the 40 soldiers were cremated outside the fort.

Li Xiao and the entire castle personnel participated in the cremation ceremony of these loyal and brave soldiers. He personally delivered an eulogy and drank wine to pay tribute. Li Xiao's actions made all the soldiers and civilians very moved.

Li Xiao also ordered people to cremate the headless corpses of the Tartars, and then threw them into the desert fields outside as fertilizer. In such hot weather, if these Tartars are not processed quickly, it is likely that the plague will break out.

Next, according to the battle report statistics of the Supervisory and Supervision Department, Li Xiao began to reward his subordinates with merits and related pensions.

More than five thousand taels of silver were spent.

Seeing those Li Xiao's army coming to the stage to receive the silver reward, Du Shaoru's army who had been watching the battle on the city wall, the 45 fort soldiers under Wei Zhenfu An Qian, and the newly recruited 75 male male recruits from the fortress, all looked at the Li Xiao's army with a happy look with envious eyes.

Xu Mao, the captain of the servant, sighed in his heart that this Li Xiao army was so capable of fighting and so strict in rewards and punishments. Compared with other official troops in the Ming Dynasty, it was a difference between heaven and earth.

Wei Zhenfu An Qian also sighed that it would be great if a strong army like Li Xiao could always be stationed in this Jinjiazhuang fortress. Such a Ming official army is the real protector of the people and the powerful army that can truly admire from the heart.

Next, Li Xiao began to deal with the men and women who were captured by the Tartars but were fortunate to be rescued by himself.

Li Xiao suggested that those who want to go home can return home immediately and give them dry food for several days.

What he did not expect was that except for only more than a hundred people who wanted to go home, most men and women said that the Tartars had destroyed their homes now, and they had lost their relatives and were homeless, and they no longer wanted to return home. If Lord Li was willing to take in, they were all willing to serve in Li Xiao's army.

These people are all adult men and women selected by the Tartars, and they are all strong. They are willing to join, so Li Xiao of course welcomes them.

After giving each of the more than 100 people who wanted to return to their hometown in Xuanfu East Road, Li Xiao asked them to go home by themselves, and sent Feiyazi to visit them for a while and sent them to the Nanhe River before returning.

There are still 690 strong men and 430 strong women in Li Xiao’s army.

Li Xiao asked all these strong men to be incorporated into the reserve of auxiliary soldiers, and let them start the most basic military training together like the new recruits in the fort.

All the strong women, Li Xiao, were handed over to the logistics captain Chen Houzi to manage, and he assigned them to do various logistics services.

With a large number of new populations and a large number of seized grains, the people of Jinjiazhuang Fort are at peace and more energetic. The originally large number of vacant houses were converted into temporary military camps by Li Xiao to accommodate a large number of new recruits and new members of the logistics team.

Jinjiazhuang Fort returned to normal life, and three more days passed calmly.

Generals like Tian Wei Duan Shiqiu could feel that, after this war of inviting battle, Li Xiao's face was as calm and natural as before, but when there was no one, there seemed to be a hint of worry on his face.

Xu Mao, the captain of the servant, also saw it.

On the third day, he accidentally mentioned this to Du Shaoru while delivering food to Du Shaoru who was detained in his house.

When Du Shaoru heard this, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, and two balls of light were beating in his eyes.

"Do you see it clearly?"

Xu Mao looked at Du Shaoru's strange expression and nodded hesitantly. "It's strange. Now that he has defeated this Tartar, Lord Li is worried, but it is strange."

"Hmph, you don't know why, but I know what kind of thoughts are hidden in Li Xiao's belly!"

"Mr. Du, can you tell?"

"Of course! I tell you that the reason why Li Xiao was worried must be because the head of the Tartars could not repay the merits!"

"oh?"

"Then Li Xiao was originally a guest army, and he was helpless in my Xuanfu Town. Now that he has made such a great contribution, he did not immediately repay the contribution. Why do you think!" A gloomy smile flashed across Du Shaoru's face.

"What do you mean by sir?"

"Li Xiao was afraid that his head would swallow his military merits and then he would not report it for a long time! As this kid was smart, if he really reported it foolishly, hum, his hundreds of heads would be immediately robbed by the governor, governor, general, military preparatory, and various guards who had been scolded by the emperor. Even if his foreign guest troops were swallowed by someone, they could only stare at him!" Du Shaoru sneered.

"So, Lord Li dare not report it because of this reason?" Xu Mao looked thoughtful.

"It must be so!" Du Shaoru glared at his eyes and scolded: "Xu Mao, now you speak Lord Li, keep silent, Lord Li, and scream sweetly. Could it be that Li Xiao, what good will he give you?"

"Sir, you are too careful. Since you were under house arrest, the villain has been careful in Li Xiaojun and is afraid of offending others with his words. He has not changed his words for a while. If I don't know anything, I know that you, Lord Du, are the chief of me, Xu Mao." Xu Mao replied hurriedly.

Du Shaoru nodded, with a slightly satisfied expression on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "Xu Mao, there is something that I want you to do as soon as possible."

"Oh, what are you going to do?" A look of nervousness flashed across Xu Mao's face.

"Don't be afraid, you are not going to ask you to kill Li Xiao." Du Shaoru saw Xu Mao's face nervous and said dissatisfied: "I just need to send someone to the Xiaobaiyang Fort where Commander Du is located, and report Li Xiao's battle to more than 200 Tartar heads to Lord Du."

"oh."

"Did you understand?"

"I understand."

"Okay, then you can make arrangements as soon as possible. After the matter is completed, the Japanese officials will definitely reward you very much!" Du Shaoru's eyes were full of expectations.

"Yes, let's make arrangements here." Xu Maoyingnuo said, then packed up the dishes and lowered his head.

Looking at Xu Mao's departure back, a sneer flashed across Du Shaoru's face.

Since Xu Mao came to tell him three days ago that Li Xiaojun had invited the Tartars to win a great victory, Du Shaoru has been in a very shock these days.

Li Xiao, who was in this dog, was so capable of fighting that even half of the Tatars could be eliminated in one fell swoop. His combat power was so terrible that not to mention the number one in Xuanfu, even the number one in the Ming Dynasty, I was afraid that he would not give in too much.

In comparison, the so-called Qian Zong has never shown any real record since joining the army. This person is really incomparable.

Du Shaoru imagined Li Xiao’s promotion and wealthy appearance, and the resentment in his heart was even more indescribable.

I originally thought that I could only swallow my anger so much, but I didn’t expect that now, I finally had the opportunity to punish Li Xiao!

He believed that Du Shi would not come to rescue Li Xiao who was under house arrest because he was afraid of the Tartars. But now Du Shi, who has been tempted by the more than 200 Tartar heads, was scolded by Xuanzhen General Zhang Quanchang for losing the Longmen Guard's main fort, would definitely arrive at Jinjiazhuang Fort as fast as a drowning man caught a life-saving straw.

Du Shaoru thought happily, maybe among the people who came with Du Shi, there were also generals of Xuanzhen, governors, military preparatory roads and other senior officials.

What's more, after these officials swallowed Li Xiao's head and military merits, in order to prevent Li Xiao from making dissatisfied shouts from outside, they may use some means to keep him silent forever.

Humph, Li Xiao, you have made such a great contribution. Don’t talk about eating meat and drinking soup, but the end result is that those who have been unable to eat the soup residue!

A happy smile appeared on Du Shaoru's face. If it weren't for the Li Xiao army guarding the door, Du Shaoru really wanted to shout: "Li Xiao, you are so fucking like today!"
