"Instructor Li, you lead the soldiers to guard Jieshan City. Such great achievements must be rewarded!" After Li Gong praised, he said again: "I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and a plate of pearls! As for official positions, Instructor Li, are you willing to continue to serve as the instructor of Dayi, or become a general, or a civilian position?"

"But by the command of the Protector."

"A great instructor of the Governor's Office is no longer promoted, so you can only be converted into a general or civilian position. Although you are a literati, this battle shows the talent of using troops to fight, and there is even more outstanding people in the army at this time. I decided to appoint you as the commander of the Zhongzhechong Prefecture, and the soldiers stationed in Jieshan City are all your soldiers. I will also transfer troops to fill the vacancy for you."

"Thank you, Protector." Li Bai bowed again and said, his joy could not be covered up. He changed to a civil service and could only manage the people in the rear and provide the logistics of the army. How could he compare to becoming a commander who led a military force to achieve success in a war? For a moment, the desire to write poetry even emerged in his heart, but both Protectors were in front of him and did not dare to act rashly.

"Niu Mou, you have made contributions to this battle. I will reward you with 500 taels of gold and a string of pearls. Then I will report to the court, and add the rank of General of the Left Wu Guard, and still be the governor of the Jieshan Governor's Office." Li Gong said to Niu Mou again.

"Thank you, Protector." Niu Mouwei was disappointed, but there was no argument, so he could only bow and agree.

"Niu Mou, the army will definitely fight fiercely with the Dashi Army in the Jiushi Kingdom of Zhaowu. Although some weapons, horses, money and food can be obtained locally, local seizures in the early stages of the war will definitely not be able to supplement the consumption of the entire army, and most of them still need to be transported from the rear. Jieshan City is an important node for the transfer from Ohluzhou to the Jiushi Kingdom of Zhaowu. You must not ignore it." Li Gong reminded again.

"I understand."

After talking about the rewards to the two of them, Li Gong turned to look at Mo Yuan again, wanting to reward him. But at this time, Liu Qi suddenly said to Li Bai: "Instructor Li, as a famous poet in the world, do you have any poems to praise your contributions to yourself?"

"Where is someone who writes poems and praises me?" Li Gong was a little displeased when he was interrupted, but after hearing Liu Qi's words, he smiled.

"How come there is no?" Liu Qi also responded with a smile: "Why don't Wei Wu praise himself for his "Short Songs"?"

"This," Li Gong did not think of this example, and was stunned for a moment, and then said to Li Bai: "Since that's the case, does Instructor Li have excellent poetry? Speaking of which, Instructor Li seems to have never written poems that describe war besides nostalgic poems."

"Since the guru wants his subordinates to write poetry, he will do it." Li Bai was just praised by Li Gong and had already felt the desire to write poetry, but he didn't dare to make a rash work. But at this time, Li Gong and Liu Qi took the initiative to ask him to write poetry, and his desire could no longer be suppressed. After saluting Li Gong, he paused, coughed twice, and thought for a moment, the poem had been recited:

"Thirty-something brave, from the Northern Wilderness of the Military.

The meteor flies jade bullets, and the sword falls in autumn frost.

The horns of books blow on willows, clean the mountains and the horses are on the verge of danger.

Drive to the sky and the desert and spread to the King of Feng.

This poem is called "Armed by the Army". Don't give this merit to the war, don't give it to the general." Li Bai said at last.

"Give it, give it to me?" Mo Yuan stood aside and listened boredly, but suddenly heard Li Bai's last words and was stunned. After a while, he said stammeringly.

"It is just a gift to Mobian General." Li Bai said with a certainty, and then said with a smile: "I am over fifty years old, and the soldiers I am commanding are not cavalry. On the contrary, Mobian General is less than forty this year, and has led the cavalry to drive a hundred miles to the city of Jieshan to attack the Dashi military camp, and defeated it in one go. Of course, this poem is a gift to other generals.

Moreover, if this battle can defeat the Great Food Army, Mobbe has made more contributions than he is. Of course, the one that deserves more praise in this battle is Mobbe.”

After all, Li Bai was a literati at heart, and he was still a literati for two years. He was embarrassed to write a poem praising him in front of everyone, so he praised Mobijiang. But he believed that when later generations mentioned this poem, they would definitely talk about the deeds of him and Mobijiang defeating the Dashi Army in the inside and outside, and his achievements would not be forgotten.

"Mo Yuan, just accept it. This was given to you by Instructor Li." Liu Qi said.

"Mo Yuan, how can you not want what others give you?" Li Gong also advised.

"Thank you, Instructor Li." Mo Yuan came to his senses and thanked Li Bai, but he was not very excited. He had not read many books, nor did he know what status Li Bai would achieve in his future generations. He was happy that he gave him a poem and wrote his deeds into the poem, but he was just happy, and he had not rewarded more than 500 gold. It was because of his surprise that he did not come back to his senses for a moment.

Li Gong was very happy to see Mo Bie accept it. Unlike Mo Yuan, he knew how famous Li Bai was in the Central Plains. Based on the poems he had recited, he concluded that Li Bai's poems must be famous and passed down from generation to generation. Even scholars who do not read history very much will know themselves and are naturally happy.

Li Gong was very happy, so of course Liu Qi would not be happy. ‘Why don’t you write me into the poem!’ He thought with resentment. Compared with Li Gong, Liu Qi knew better how high Li Bai’s status was in later generations, and how many poems were selected into Chinese textbooks become a must-memorize content! If he was written into the poem, even if the primary and secondary school students in later generations were full of resentment, they would have to know him again.

‘I have been written into the poem “All Become Wine”, and it would be fine if I have not been written into the poem once again, so that the students will not scold me again.’ After a while, Liu Qi adjusted his mind to comfort himself.

After comforting himself, Liu Qi took notice of Li Gong's movement again, but saw him listening to a guard's soft voice. Liu Qi was a little surprised. There was something else that could not be said publicly in Jieshan City. It was impossible for the big food soldiers who fled into the hills to gather to counterattack and regain the Gukou camp? Those big food soldiers must have this organizational ability and would not have fled at the beginning. He couldn't help but walk over and asked after Li Gong finished talking with the guards.

"It's Dan Niang who is here, but she doesn't ask for a visit, probably because she's afraid of disturbing the serious things we're going to do. I wanted her to come in, but when I thought she wasn't here, I didn't ask the guards to call her." Li Gong whispered in Liu Qi's ear.

"Eugene, do you know your guilt?" After saying that, Li Gong turned his head and shouted sternly to Captain You. He wanted to reward Mo Yuan first, but when he heard the guards report that Eugene was unable to protect Dania, he became angry and instead dealt with Eugene first.

"The subordinates knew that they were guilty." Eugene immediately knelt down.

"You should not forget the errand I have given you very much; but in that case, how did you complete the errand I have given you! It hurt Danniang!

And after she was injured, you led your troops to attack the Dashi military camp! There are only a few people under your command, less than 300! There are tens of thousands of Dashi people in the camp, and there are also camps to guard. Do you think that your soldiers under your command are all powerful generals like Zhao Zilong, and you can enter and exit seven times in the Dashi military!"

"I don't dare to do this." Eugene said hurriedly, trying to explain again, but was interrupted before he could speak.

"I know that your thoughts are nothing more than to alleviate the blame others have on you, or to drag Mo Yuan into the water. But because of this, I am even more dissatisfied with you!

Eugene, I will remove you from your post as a captain, demoted you to a soldier, and still serve in the 27th Regiment." Li Gong didn't say much, and directly removed him from his post.

"Protector, this punishment seems to be too heavy." Liu Qi hurriedly whispered in Li Gong's ear: "Eugene is not very appropriate, but after all, he has made contributions, which is enough to offset some mistakes. Even if the Protector deals with him, he should not be removed from his official position. He can be demoted."

"He was too insidious and actually dragged Mo Yuan into the water. We won this battle. If it fails, the soldiers who died were all killed because of Eugene's intention. Thinking about this, it is not an exaggeration to remove him from his post."

"Protector, this is a theory of heart-killing. It cannot be proved that there is or that there is no one. I am afraid that it will not convince the soldiers. Moreover, although Dan Niang was injured, the injury was not serious, and it would give the generals a feeling of making a big deal." Liu Qi advised again.

"Since you say that, the punishment will be reduced." Li Gong thought that what Liu Qi said made sense. Although he was very dissatisfied with Eugene, he said to the captain: "I will demote you to the ranks and transfer you to the 28th Regiment to serve."

"Thank you, Dumai." Eugene felt particularly wronged, especially when he really didn't want to drag Mo Yuan into the water at that time, he just wanted to use his merits to fight against the demerits or reduce the blame. But he knew that any explanation would be used as a quibble at this time, which made Dumai even more angry and could only kowtow and thank him. He planned to stay in Dumai's mood for a few days and then ask his friends for help and plead for him.

"Get out."

"Yes." Eugene kowtowed again, turned around and left the government office.

"Mo Yuan," after Eugene left, Li Gong immediately said to Mo Biejiang: "Actually, I am not very satisfied with your approach."

"Please punish the magistrate." Mo Yuan also knelt down immediately.

"You kneel down and do something, get up quickly." But Li Gong said immediately, and asked the guards to support him. Seeing this, Mo Yuan felt a little relieved and stood up according to the order.

"After you guessing Eugene's thoughts, you also led your troops to attack the Dashi Army Camp. Obviously, I am not very satisfied with this. But you have not squandered the lives of soldiers because of this, and have tried to minimize the casualties of soldiers. I have also heard from others.

Moreover, he finally defeated the Dashi military camp and killed Aziz, which made great contributions, so there was no need to say anything about the mistake.

So," Li Gong was about to express his reward.

But at this moment Mo Yuan suddenly said, "Protector, my subordinates requested that the Protector delay the reward of my subordinates."

"Why?" Li Gong was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion; Liu Qi was also very confused.

"After seizing the Suiye Town, I would like to ask the Protector to join the rewards for many contributions." Mo Yuan said.
