Chapter 197 Su Dingfang’s shock

"General."

"We don't have much food and grass left."

"Furthermore, all three tribes have been wiped out, and the victory has been achieved. The emperor's decree has been completed. If there is another expedition, the ministers in the court will definitely impeach the general if they find out."

Su Dingfang said helplessly.

"Just impeach, can I still be afraid of them?"

"Anyway, I've made up my mind."

"We will never withdraw our troops until we catch all these bastards."

Li Zheng sneered and said with determination.

indeed.

This battle defeated the last rebel army. Although it cost a lot, it was negligible. In the vast snowfield, those defeated soldiers had no food and a large part of them would die.

Moreover, Li Zheng also successfully upgraded to level 21, which basically fulfilled Li Zheng's expectations.

but.

There is also an ulterior secret, the national jade seal.

Found this, this is really a magical tool for settling down.

It doesn't matter whether you offer it or keep it.

"As for food and grass, isn't this huge grassland tribe the only place where food and grass are taken out?"

"Wherever I will attack, food and grass will be supplied."

“A steady stream.”

Li Zheng said with a smile.

"How long are you ready to fight, general?" Su Dingfang looked at Li Zheng helplessly.

In the bottom of Su Dingfang's heart, he actually didn't want Li Zheng to continue to advance north. The grassland and desert were originally a great threat to the Central Plains dynasty. The deeper they went, the more isolated and helpless they were, the greater the danger.

Now they have attacked hundreds of miles from the border of Datang, and are far away from the territory of Datang.

Especially now that the grassland is still shrouded in the university, it is even more dangerous.

but.

The official level is overwhelming.

Li Zheng was not just a pawn who joined the Jinyang Army, but General Yunhui, the third rank of the Tang Dynasty, and his direct superior to Su Dingfang.

"Then it depends on the result."

Li Zheng smiled vaguely.

Anyway, I am now in a foreign land in Northern Xinjiang. If I can't find the imperial seal, I will not go back.

after all.

After this battle, if Li Zheng wants to go to the battlefield to gain experience points again, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait, so Li Zheng must cherish this opportunity and fight as long as he can.

Even if Li Shimin issued an imperial edict, Li Zheng would never go back if his purpose was not achieved.

of course.

This is not considered disobedience.

Because the imperial edict would never find Li Zheng's people.

Listening to Li Zheng's vague words, Su Dingfang became even more helpless.

He could even imagine that after the victory was decided, many people would ask where Li Zheng had gone and why he hadn't returned in triumph.

Moreover, the imperial court may issue decrees.

"General, did you keep me here on purpose to make me a shield?"

Su Dingfang said helplessly.

Hear the sound.

Li Zheng stood up, smiled, patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder, and then said seriously: "General Su, those who are able have to work hard. Except for you who personally command the troops to guard this place, no one else has this ability!"

"I would rather go on an expedition with you, general, or else let Lin Chong lead the troops here and guard it while I go with you?"

Su Dingfang started discussing.

“No, no, no, you can still be relied upon.

"At least until the King of Wu and the court hear about Ali, you will be able to withstand it."

Li Zheng said with a smile.

, "And you said you didn't use me as a shield."

Upon hearing this, Su Dingfang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Zheng.

"How about this battle with the eldest grandson?"

Li Zheng returned to normal and asked. "These alien rebels also know that we will not leave any survivors, so they fight to the death. And when they form the formation, they still think of the people behind them, so they show stronger combat power than before."

"In this battle, more than 3,700 of our soldiers were killed and more than 4,000 were injured, most of them minor injuries."

Su Dingfang's expression changed and he said.

"The dead bodies of our Tang Dynasty soldiers must not be left in this foreign land. We sent enough carriages from our ancestors to let the Youzhou government build coffins in advance and bury them in our Tang Dynasty territory."

"Let our brothers rest in peace."

Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

If the remains of so many loyal souls were allowed to be buried in this foreign land, the consequence would be that when the alien races came back, the graves of these heroic souls of the Tang Dynasty would be burned by those alien races. This was something Li Zheng would not allow.

And in every Yanhuang's heart, one should be buried in peace.

No matter where you are, you will be at peace when you return to your homeland.

"This matter will be supervised by the general manager personally."

Su Dingfang replied solemnly.

"Also, prepare another copy for me in addition to the list of all killed, wounded and disabled soldiers reported to the Ministry of War."

"The way I defeat the bandit brothers, the dead and disabled in battle will receive pensions from the court, but on this basis, I will give them another share so that their families can live in peace."

Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Since the war for such a long time, nearly 10,000 of our bandits have been killed. I can only get fifty taels of silver without any additional pension from the imperial court. This is enough."

"If the general provides additional compensation, he will not be able to support him."

Su Dingfang said.

"Fifty taels of silver are not enough for me to kill the soldiers of the bandit army."

"Far from enough."

"I will give each family one gold in addition to the extra money."

Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Su Dingfang said in surprise.

"Lin's Vinegar Shop and Lin's Restaurant are both my properties."

Li Zheng just said one sentence.

Hear the words.

Su Dingfang's eyes suddenly widened and he was a little unbelievable: "The Lin's vinegar shop, which is making a lot of money every day, is actually the general's property?"

"So, I have the ability to give more compensation to the soldiers."

"Of course, this is only limited to the soldiers of the Dangkou Army. There is nothing else I can do for others."

Li Zheng said.

"Subordinate, I'm convinced."

Su Dingfang bowed to Li Zheng and said no more.

"Okay, let's go down and make arrangements."

"Let the army recuperate for two days. After two days, I will lead the troops to continue the pursuit, and give me the maps of these tribes. I don't know what the situation of the surrounding tribes is."

Li Zheng explained to Su Dingfang.

"it is good."

"I'll have someone prepare the map right now."

Su Dingfang nodded, turned and left.

But after turning around and walking a few steps, Su Dingfang suddenly turned around again.

There seemed to be a strong curiosity on his face, but he was hesitant to speak, and it seemed difficult to speak.

"I say Su Dingfang, you can say what you want and don't act like an old woman."

Li Zheng said angrily when he saw Su Dingfang's appearance.

"The end is very strange."

"Why are the personal guards around the general so powerful? Their strength far exceeds that of other soldiers in the Dangkou Army, and even I can't compare with it."

"Although they were elite members of the military before joining the General's Guards, they were far from reaching this level."

"So the general is curious about how the general made them become like this."

Su Dingfang stared at Li Zheng with strong curiosity and asked.
