Chapter 933 It Doesn't Matter

Swords and arrows are spoils of war, which can be used to calculate military merits and kills, and they are also a considerable wealth.

Usually, after the war is over, in addition to burying a large number of corpses to prevent plagues, these things are collected when cleaning the battlefield. Generally, each person has a knife, which can represent the number of enemies killed. It is not easy to make good arrows, and they are all reused.

Of course, there are also horses and clothes, which are used to assist in the calculation of military merits, and they are also a treasure of war.

Shi Yuhengjia and Xie Yuan looked at each other, seeing that Xie Yuan lowered his eyes and did not intend to speak, he said in a relaxed tone:

"The cavalry killed a lot of people, but the ratio was small to many. They didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, and they threw away many of them in order to escape. The infantry did clean the battlefield, but they didn't gain much. Tsk... After doing this calculation, it's really a bit of a trip out this time." Sorry."

After Shi Yuhengjia finished speaking, he deliberately rubbed his chin and looked at the sky, saying regrettably.

Shen Liuzhen has been observing from the sidelines, seeing that the expression on Governor Changli's face is a little subtle, so he said in a timely manner:

"A solitary army goes deep, and it's a long-distance attack. This military merit must not be counted in this way. As long as you complete your majesty's entrustment, it is the greatest military merit. What's the loss?"

Governor Changli was stunned for a moment, and said cooperatively:

"Yes, yes, Shen Shizhong is right. Our border has indeed become much quieter when you go out this time. Those people are afraid that there will be enemies behind them, so they all ran back. This can be regarded as the solution to the border intrusion this year. foreign aggression."

With a smile on his face, Shen Liuzhen observed the expression of Princess Changli, his sparkling eyes flickered, and said:
"Thank you, Governor Changli, for allowing us to recuperate. After I go back, I will definitely report my name to His Majesty, and I will definitely not lose the Lord Governor."

Governor Changli "haha" laughed loudly, raised his wine glass and said to Shen Liuzhen:
"We're all family, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, hahahaha..."

……

Shi Yuhengjia was left behind to continue drinking, while Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen left after eating.

After leaving the gate of Governor's Mansion, Xie Yuan looked at the passers-by at the gate, and suddenly had a feeling of returning to the world from ghosts in his heart.

She stood there greedily for a long time without moving, feeling the steadiness and ease at this moment.

Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Liuzhen tilted his body and leaned forward to see her expression. After seeing her expression, he suddenly understood in his heart, so he offered to propose:

"The weather is fine today, let's go back and take a stroll in the street."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he turned his head in surprise, with a smile in his eyes, and said:

"What's the matter today? It's rare that Mr. Shen also takes the initiative to ask for hardship?"

Shen Liuzhen laughed until his dimples were exposed, and said sweetly with his sleeves in his hands:

"With my family, General Xie, whatever is bitter is sweet."

Xie Yuan heard this, turned his face away with a smile, seemed a little embarrassed, and said:
"You're the one with a sweet mouth, and you're the one to coax people." After saying that, she stepped down the stairs.

While chasing after her, Shen Liuzhen exaggeratedly defended himself, and said with an aggrieved expression:

"A Yuan, I'm wronged, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart."

The two walked slowly down the street.

It is close to the Governor's Mansion, the street is more prosperous, there are many restaurants and teahouses, the pedestrians and hawkers on the street are faintly shouting, most of them are in the language of the barbarians, I can't understand it, but it is extremely lively.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen, two outstanding Han people, walked among them, accompanied by their own soldiers and a carriage, which was somewhat eye-catching.

Fortunately, there are also Han Chinese who come here to do business here. At most, they can take a look or two, but they don't have much reaction.

As Xie Yuan walked, he looked at the stalls on both sides. Sometimes, when he saw a seller of saddles or a blacksmith's shop, he would stop to have a look and ask the price.

Shen Liuzhen has been following her, his eyes sticking to her body with nostalgia.Having just experienced the dangers of life and death, he suddenly felt that such an ordinary life was really blissful, so a gentle smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Xie Yuan put down the props he was observing, smiled friendlyly at the blacksmith, then left, and said to Shen Liuzhen:
"I have never liked the fireworks in the city so much. It is really too desolate beyond the Great Wall. After fighting for so many years, I have traveled to a lot of places. This is the first time I feel that the town is so reassuring."

Hearing this, Shen Liuzhen observed the surrounding scene carefully, as if he was trying to experience the state of mind Xie Yuan said, and sighed while holding his sleeves, and said:

"I've been staying in a team of several thousand people, and there are always many people as far as I can see. It's a bit bitter, but after all, it's much more comfortable than you. It's hard to experience the smoke and fire."

Xie Yuan smiled, with a gentle light on his face, and said:
"It's good to have no experience, and I don't want you to suffer that kind of hardship. To be honest, it's better for everyone not to suffer like that."

She paused, took a step slowly, and stood side by side with Shen Liuzhen, and asked:

"Tell me, can your plan come true?"

Shen Liuzhen looked into Xie Yuan's eyes, smiled confidently, and said:

"I don't know if they will live in peace with Wei Guo in the future, but it is certain that King Rouran and King Xiang will fight right now.

Survival in the grassland is difficult, and there is not enough food when there are too many people.Either fight each other, want land and livestock but not people, or unite as one and invade and plunder in the south.

In the past, their strategy was to maintain a general unity and to expand and plunder in unison.Now, no matter what, they can't unite anymore. "

Xie Yuan nodded, with a pensive look on his face, and did not speak.

Xie Yuan's walking posture was usually upright and vigorous, while Shen Liuzhen's posture was good, but he was casual and calm. His loose posture caused his sleeves to sway and wipe Xie Yuan's arm from time to time.

He looked at Xie Yuan's arm from the corner of his eye, as if he was happy that he could touch her from time to time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He turned his eyes and seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked:
"A Yuan, what do you think of Governor Changli? Is he normal?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said dumbfoundedly:

"What's the matter? Is it because he's so normal that he looks abnormal? It's rare to have a normal person. You should think about it."

Shen Liuzhen shook his head and said:
"You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. He is a border governor... To put it bluntly, most of the Xianbei people who discriminate against Han people the most in the country are probably in these military towns. Why did he treat us two? A Han Chinese who has never met is so friendly? I hope he is a little colder, so that I can feel at ease."

Xie Yuan stood still, looked at Shen Liuzhen helplessly, and said for a while:
"Are you counting as reverse discrimination? There can't be one or two normal people among the Xianbei people? Don't you think His Majesty is very good?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Liuzhen frowned and said:

"Do you think that His Majesty treats me so well from the beginning? He also disliked my various prejudices at the beginning, but after getting along for a long time, he gained trust in times of adversity. This is normal."
