Li Bai walked down from the hill and looked at the corpses on the ground. There were Liaodong soldiers and Wuwan people. His heart was in turmoil. He took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. Li Bai said to Tian Feng beside him," Mr. Yuan Hao, call Guan Hai and Zhang He over," Tian Feng nodded at Li Bai.
" My lord!" Seeing Li Bai come over, the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield and the injured soldiers all straightened their bodies and shouted at Li Bai.
Looking at these faces that were as young as him, Li Bai felt a wave of emotion and sorrow in his heart. For the first time, he doubted whether what he did was right or wrong.
" M-My Lord," a young soldier who was seriously injured seemed to understand Li Bai's thoughts. He smiled at Li Bai and said,""My lord, you are the best lord I have ever met in my life. At that time, if it wasn't for the lord taking in Da Niu in the east of the river, Da Niu and his mother would have starved to death. Da Niu's life would have belonged to the lord long ago. Da Niu was willing to die for the lord, so the lord need not be sad. He only hoped that the lord could take care of Da Niu's mother after Da Niu died.”
Seeing Li Bai nod with a forced smile, he paused for a moment and said,"" M-My Lord, I'll still be your soldier in my next life and kill enemies for my Lord." He chuckled and looked at Li Bai. He slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing with a smile on his lips.
" Da Niu, Da Niu!" Li Bai shouted hysterically.
"My lord, my lord need not be sad. We are the same as Da Niu. If it wasn't for the lord's relief, we would have starved to death long ago. " We are willing to die for the lord," a soldier said to Li Bai while kneeling beside him.
Li Bai turned around and looked at their determined faces. Li Bai's heart ached and he choked,""Brothers, get up. I, Li Bai, swear to you that one day, you and your families and descendants will have your own fields. I want all the Hu and other races to submit to us."
" We are willing to fight to the death for our lord," the soldiers shouted.
" I have to do my best to treat the injured soldiers. Even if they have to break their arms and legs, I have to treat them well. I want them to know that I, Li Bai, will let them witness the scene of thousands of races coming to pay their respects to the Great Han Dynasty," Li Bai said to the doctor beside him with a determined expression.
At this moment, Li Bai understood the meaning of the phrase," A general's achievements are worth tens of thousands of ashes." Li Bai had also changed a lot since then. Those who had not experienced it would never understand.
" Yes, my lord," the medical officer said excitedly.
" Long live the lord! Long live the Liaodong Army!" The soldiers at the side shouted.
From this day onwards, the Liaodong Army would become the nightmare of all enemies. From this day onwards, the soul of the Liaodong Army would be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers after Li Bai's words. They would fight for Li Bai, for all the people of the Great Han Dynasty, and for themselves. It was also from today onwards that the enemy would not capture a single Liaodong soldier in the future battles.
"My lord," other than Gongsun Du and Liao Hua who went to chase after the Wuwan people, the other generals have come.
Li Bai turned around and looked at the generals. He nodded expressionlessly and said in a hoarse voice,""Guan Hai, send someone to Zilong and tell him to ignore the fleeing Wuwan people. Order him to take Zhang Chun's head as soon as possible."
Guan Hai stared blankly at Li Bai's cold expression. He suddenly felt that Li Zhong had changed, to the point that he could no longer recognize him. Li Bai stared at Guan Hai coldly, causing Guan Hai to tremble. He immediately said,"Yes, my lord."
The generals looked at Li Bai as if he had suddenly changed into a different person. He was no longer as polite and polite as before, with a smile on his face, making people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. However, Li Bai had now become a little cold, making people feel as if they were wrapped in ice, making them shudder.
" All armies, clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible. Don't leave any of our soldiers behind. Remember, it's any one of them," Li Bai said emotionlessly as he looked at the generals with cold eyes.
" Yes." Everyone's faces were filled with confusion and doubt. They did not understand why the gentle and refined lord in the morning had disappeared and become as cold as ice now. It made them feel very uncomfortable.
In the evening, Li Bai came to the place where the dead bodies were placed. Looking at the pale and lifeless faces, two streams of tears flowed out of Li Bai's eyes. His knees slowly bent. With a " pa " sound, Li Bai knelt in front of them. His mouth moved, and no one knew what he was saying.
" My liege." The generals and almost all the soldiers knelt behind Li Bai. At this moment, they finally understood why Li Bai had changed so much in a day. They felt a little sorry for the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves, but at the same time, they also felt a little touched and gratified. This was because their lord cared so much about the lives of the soldiers. In this era where human lives were disregarded, it was rare to have such a lord.
" My lord, they all died for the people of Great Han. They died in a worthy way. I don't think they will regret it. My lord, you really don't have to do this." Tian Feng knelt beside Li Bai and kowtowed. His voice was a little choked.
" My lord, we are willing to fight to the death for you." Therefore, the soldiers all kowtowed to Li Bai. Some were sad, some were reluctant, but of course, most of them felt it.
In his previous life and this life, Li Bai had never seen so many people die in front of his family. He blamed himself, was sad, and was reluctant to part with them. It was this blow that allowed Li Bai to grow rapidly.
He slowly stood up and turned around. Looking at the soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground, Li Bai felt conflicted. However, when he thought of Da Niu's words before he died and the determined eyes that appeared in Li Bai's mind, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Li Bai's eyes. He shouted to the soldiers on the ground,"Everyone, get up!"
At this moment, Li Bai was no longer lost and hesitant, because he had faith and an extremely firm heart.
"Yes."
Today, in front of all the soldiers who have already sacrificed themselves, I will set the military rules of our Liaodong Army." Without giving everyone a chance to speak, Li Bai continued,""First, everyone must obey orders. Those who disobey orders will be killed.
Second, all soldiers are not allowed to harass the people. Those who disobey will be killed.
Third, they must not abandon their comrades at any time. Those who disobeyed orders would be killed.”
After saying a total of ten, Li Bai stopped and looked at everyone.""Do you all understand?"
" Yes, my liege." Deafening voices sounded from the forest. They were surprisingly consistent. The birds in the forest were so frightened that they flew out and did not dare to fly back for a long time.
Li Bai listened to everyone's answer and nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and left.
Only Tian Feng looked at Li Zhong's back and muttered in relief,"" The dragon will soar to the four seas."
