Chapter 2328 Appreciation
When the army returned, General Guo, who had been hiding in the medical tent in the camp, was finally carried out. General Ashina took one look and sighed: "Let's bury him."
General Guo was also helped out of the medical tent. Only then did he realize that his father had been killed in action.
Although there have been quarrels between father and son, General Guo was still very sad at this moment, and tears fell down.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang stood beside him. Seeing this, they patted his shoulders and said, "Don't be sad. Fortunately, the royal city has been recaptured."
Otherwise it would be a serious sin.
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly.
Bai Shan saw that his face turned pale from crying and he was clutching his chest as if he was feeling uncomfortable. He quickly supported him and said, "Don't be sad. Our blood is still flowing in your body. If the wound breaks open and bleeds heavily, we will have to give him more."
You give blood."
Bai Erlang immediately shuddered when he thought of the blood that had been drained from him, "No, I think he's much better."
Liu Huan was a little worried, "Let's let Zhou Man show him. If something happens, won't our blood be in vain?"
General Guo listened to their chatter in his ears, and suddenly he was not so sad anymore. He wiped his tears, glanced at his father lying on the board, sniffed and said, "I'm fine."
General Ashina assigned some people to transport General Guo's body back to Xizhou, and at the same time escorted General Guo and a group of wounded soldiers back first.
He said: "You will set off once your wounds are better. Be sure to stabilize Xizhou."
As for Kucha, General Ashina has selected one of King Kucha's relatives to succeed King Kucha.
He was the cousin of the King of Kucha, named Ye Hu. He was taken out of the prison. When General Ashina said that he would make him king, he immediately surrendered and killed the King of Kucha.
So General Ashina gathered all the people in King Kucha's city together, declared his intention to punish the people, and directly exposed King Kucha's crimes to the world.
At the same time, the news that the remnant soldiers and Turkic troops who escaped from the south city gate were ambushed also spread back to the royal city, and more than 800 soldiers were captured. When the army escorted these people into the city, the royal city was shaken.
Ye Hu, who had just become King of Qiuci, was more honest. After discussing with the noble officials in the royal city, he simply collected a batch of food and grass for them and gave them many valuable gifts.
The two boxes of gold and silver jewelry that Bai Shan and others carried into the palace returned to General Ashina's hands after being turned around.
General Ashina received the gold, silver and jewelry among the spoils of war and registered them in a register. When he returned, these items would be handed over to the treasury.
However, General Li had already pocketed the spoils and he did not interfere, nor did he comment on Bai Shan and his companions distributing most of the spoils to the soldiers.
In his opinion, their distribution of loot this time was different from the previous hiding of loot by Hou Ji, Guo Xiao and others. In order to boost morale, these were acceptable.
The Anxi soldiers, who had shared a lot of gold and silver, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the general manager had no intention of pursuing the matter, and hid the good things they had received more secretly.
For those who have died in battle, their belongings will be jointly managed by their colleagues, and they will find opportunities to send them home when they return.
Anyone can die on the battlefield. These were all discussed by everyone early in the morning. Not to mention the above, but no one dares to keep secret the personal feelings between comrades.
General Li waited for two days and found that General Ashina really had no intention of pursuing the case. He brought five boxes to them. He stuffed the boxes into them and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, Mr. Bai, this is for you."
of."
The things were divided after Bai Shan and the others left. After all, it was not about boosting morale.
At that time, General Li specially left some for Bai Shan and the others. It was the most dangerous for them to enter the royal city as internal agents. Naturally, they would be given some loot if they died, and even more if they were alive.
They are the first to attack the city this time, and their identities are not simple. They will definitely have a bright future after returning to the capital. No one can miss them without this little thing.
When Bai Shan saw these things, he hesitated and accepted them.
Everyone opened it and took a look. Man Bao and Zhou Liru were both pieces of jewelry in a box. Not to mention, they were quite beautiful.
Bai Erlang also looked at it happily and took out a jade horse, "Don't tell me, nothing in the palace is bad."
Bai Shan also looked at it carefully, and after appreciating it, he asked Daji to bring a larger box with a heartbroken look on his face, and then poured the things into it.
He looked at a few people and motioned for them to fall in.
Liu Huan poured it in, and Man Bao quickly said: "You should be gentler, what if it breaks?"
After saying this, he felt distressed and put them in one by one. Bai Erlang was also very reluctant to let them go, "I really don't want to take them."
Bai Shan slapped his hand away and put everything in the box directly into the box. He said: "From now on, if we want to earn it ourselves, don't take things we shouldn't take."
Zhou Liru was the most reluctant to part with it. He touched the box and asked, "Sister-in-law, why can others take it but we can't?"
Man Bao said: "We are different from them, they..."
Man Bao paused and then said: "Their military pay is insufficient, and their food and grass are occasionally withheld. Because of the default rules in the general environment, the military equipment given to them by the Ministry of Revenue is never enough, so their food and clothing basically depend on the general.
Ability and conscience.”
"The Anxi Army is not bad and has trophies, but General Guo rarely gives them to the people below, so the Anxi Army is very poor. They can take these things without regret, but we can't."
After saying this, Man Bao didn't feel bad when she put the things in her hands into the box again. She said: "And our status does not allow us to steal the spoils. Look at Hou Ji. He and the prince had a fight to the point of death.
Isn't it because he embezzled a lot of gold and silver treasures seized from Gaochang Kingdom?"
Man Bao said: "Don't think this is an agreed rule, but you must have some degree of restraint. It's because Guo Xiao doesn't have restraint that your Majesty doesn't like him. Although he has always used him, he has never been made a marquis."
General Meng of Yumen Pass was still below him in terms of official position, but he had already been granted the title of Marquis. Judging from military achievements alone, Guo Xiao's military achievements were not inferior to his. The only difference was his military morale.
If something that has been established as a custom becomes secular, it is actually illegal.
When Zhou Liru thought about Hou Ji's fate, he immediately put the things in, nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister-in-law, you are right."
Man Bao then smiled and said: "Nowadays, General Ashina is not a stingy person, and he is even more modest. Your Majesty will definitely reward us when we return to the capital."
Bai Shan also nodded, "Isn't the gift given by the emperor more glorious?"
So he asked Daji to quietly send the things to General Ashina, so that he could record them in the book without announcing them to the army, lest the Anxi army, which had already divided the spoils, be upset.
General Ashina also felt sorry for the poverty of the Anxi Army. It would be fine if they were poor and weak, but they were poor and strong. They charged on the battlefield without risking their lives, which was even more pitiful, so he quietly accepted it without announcing it.
