Chapter 354 Li Gong arrives

"I should really arrange a ship to take me over." Li Gong rode on the horse and said to the guards when he stopped to rest.

This was the first time in his life that he rode a horse at a speed of dozens of miles per hour. It was completely different from the feeling of riding slowly on horseback. His butt and inner thighs were so painful that he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not too late to arrange the ship now." A guard immediately said: "Send someone to return to the dock next to the camp and send an order to Song Guoyi."

"How is it not too late?" Li Gong immediately said: "You can't do this.

It has been running for an hour, and in a while, we can reach that place. It will take at least an hour to send someone back? Song Guoyi arranged the boat again, and the speed of the boat was slower than that of the horse, so we had to wait here until less than the afternoon.

Although I do not force the worship time, I must not drag it until afternoon, it must be held before noon. Besides, the distance is not far away, and it will be coming soon, so it is not worth adjusting the ship again."

"I will return and ask Song Guoyi to transfer the ship to take the guard back to the camp after the worship." Another guard said again.

"No need for this. I'll just be a ship to transport the coffin when I return." Li Gong shook his head again.

Everyone present immediately expressed their objection, believing that Li Gong must not be a ship for transporting coffins, which is very unlucky; but Li Gong did not accept all their suggestions.

First of all, it is indeed not easy to temporarily mobilize a ship, and he is unwilling to pay that problem.

Secondly, does it mean that he cannot endure hardship and cannot even ride a horse? It will have an adverse impact on his prestige in the army; while sitting on the same boat with the coffin can say that he is grateful to the fallen soldiers, which is beneficial to establishing prestige.

Third, he himself did not care about the unlucky good things. Emperor Taizong led his troops to fight in person, especially before he succeeded to the throne and became the King of Qin, and he used countless troops to fight. Because the Han people liked the custom of burying their bodies in their ancestral tombs, there were many coffins every time the army returned victoriously, and Emperor Taizong also walked with the coffin, so it was not wrong. On the contrary, he rarely led his troops to fight. Yuan Ji was killed by Taizong. From this point of view, the unlucky good things were purely nonsense, and therefore he did not care at all.

"The scheduled rest time has passed, everyone should get up and continue on the road." Li Gong listened to their advice for a while. Seeing that the time had come, he quickly interrupted it with this reason, turned over the horse and moved to a relatively less painful sitting position. After waving the whip and hitting the horse's butt, he ran up again. Seeing this, the guards could only stop helplessly and advise and ride a horse to follow.

After walking for a while, they saw Zhang Xingquan on the side of the road. They knew they had arrived at the place, so they stopped the horse and turned over. Zhang Xingquan immediately came up and said, "Twenty feet ahead is where Meng Feijun and others ambushed the Dashi military camp."

"Take my moon-white coat." Li Gong immediately ordered.

A guard agreed, walked over and took out a package. When he opened it, he saw that it was a moon-white coat. More than a dozen people used as human walls to surround Li Gong and the guard. The guard first took off Li Gong's armor and then took off his coat? Change the moon-white coat. There was also a dedicated person to clean the armor again? It was guaranteed to be very clean when putting it on again.

"Zhang Xingquan, how long have you been here?" Li Gong asked again.

"Your Majesty? My subordinates didn't wait long. I came here on the second boat, and it wasn't long before I arrived? I arranged for the soldiers to stand and then came to wait for the Majesty."

"The second ship is to transport the corpses of soldiers who died in battle three days ago." Li Gong was stunned for a moment.

"That's right. More than 500 soldiers were killed in battle that day? There were many coffins. In order to transport these corpses, the ship under my subordinates was not enough. Three ships were used. Including the first one? There were four ships in total." Zhang Xingquan said.

After Liu Qi's "personally" command, he fought with the Dashi Army for the first time? In view of morale, Li Gong ordered that the battle on that day be regarded as a victory, so he should commend the soldiers who have made meritorious service.

Li Gong originally wanted to commend the commendation yesterday afternoon, but dozens of people participated in the Luzhou First Battle, and the bodies were excavated all day long, so there would be fewer people. Liu Qi wanted to postpone the commendation? But Li Gong felt that it was not good to postpone the commendation, so he decided to bring all the soldiers who made meritorious service to today's place of worship? He worshiped together with the soldiers who died in Luzhou First Battle and the soldiers who died in battle three days ago; commended those who made meritorious service before worship.

"Four ships." Li Gong thought about it and felt that the first ship had only eighty-one coffins? The three ships behind him had an average of more than one hundred coffins each. He decided to take the first ship when he went back.

"Protector?         It's been finished." He was thinking?     The guard in front of him slightly adjusted his cuffs?                                   �

"Okay." Li Gong agreed and said to Zhang Xingquan: "Are you wearing this outfit to worship?"

"I am wearing this outfit." Zhang Xingquan said, secretly looking at Li Gong, thinking to himself: 'This armor is too clean, it seems to have just been wiped. But this is not bad, it shows that the guardian attaches great importance to this worship. No matter whether the soldiers who have died in battle are informed or the soldiers present are present, they will not feel disgusted.'

"It's a bit dirty." Li Gong said, asking a rag from a guard, wiped Zhang Xingquan's armor a few times, and then said, "It's almost the same."

"Protector, what kind of virtue can I do? How can I wipe my armor?" Zhang Xingquan didn't react for a moment. He came to his senses after Li Gong finished wiping. He quickly took a few steps back and said loudly.

"I don't wipe your armor every day, so you don't have to react like this. It is rumored that famous generals in ancient times, even wise kings who led their troops to fight, would put them on when they saw soldiers slipping off by their jackets at night. Xiang Yu even shed tears to feed the injured soldiers and apply wounded medicine. Everyone praised the wise kings and famous generals, but no one said that this was inappropriate.

In my opinion, wiping your armor a few times is equivalent to covering the quilt for soldiers. You don’t have to be so careful.” Li Gong said hurriedly.

"What the Protector said is that his subordinates reacted too much." Zhang Xingquan didn't have much culture, only knowing that Xiang Yu was a person like Xiang Yu. He knew that this man had risen up at the end of Qin and had won a great victory. Later, he failed to compete for the world with Emperor Gao of Han and committed suicide in Wujiang. However, he did not understand the details of his life. He heard that he had fed the soldiers. He immediately felt that Li Gong did this and quickly admitted his mistake.

"If it weren't for the urgent time, I would ask the guards to wipe it carefully for you." Li Gong said again, and then said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

As he said that, Li Gong was surrounded by guards and walked towards the west to ambush the Dashi Pioneer Army. Zhang Xingquan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the Dugu to be so straightforward and then followed. The guard gave up a position and asked him to stand beside Dugu.
