What Zhao Long said made Xie Xing dumbfounded.

Xie Xing is a traditional soldier and a standard general. In his opinion, it is only natural for soldiers to pay their wages. As soldiers, they only need to protect the border and follow the commander's order to win the battle. .

Why do you need to think about so many things? When do soldiers need to think about money and food, and whether fighting is a matter of making money?

They are soldiers, not businessmen.

This also made it impossible for Xie Xing's thinking to think of this at all.

Therefore, he can only be a general, not a commander in chief.

If Yue Qing, Nie Zeyi or Han Yun were here, after hearing what Zhao Long said, they would definitely say right away that it makes sense.

You can get revenge and make money, so why not do it?

Xie Xing thought about it and said,

"You're right, you really should take revenge, but I don't think it's appropriate for the money grabber you mentioned, so it's not appropriate."

"What's wrong with robbing the enemy's country? The soldiers have traveled thousands of miles with you, going through life and death, why don't you reward me with more money?

Put away your traditional and solidified thinking, the soldiers follow you to fight, it is true that soldiers have to obey orders, it is true to defend the country, and it is true that there is military pay, but you have to care about the morale of the soldiers.

As I said, after robbing the money, give some of it to the soldiers, but they can't intercept it privately, otherwise it will affect the speed of the march. Forget it, tell you that you don't understand, and I will give the order when the time comes. "

Xie Xing nodded, and realized that he was indeed not a commander-in-chief, but Zhao Long was young and quick-witted.

he said,

"Then should we apply to Nie Shuai and Lord Hou?"

"What are you applying for? Applying to enter the enemy's country to fight? Do we still have this time? How long will it take us to return to Yumen Pass from here?

Soldiers are precious and fast, Hou Ye and Nie Shuai sent us out, which naturally gave us the power to act cheaply, and we can adjust our tactics according to the situation.

Now that the enemy country has just been defeated and there is no time to regroup, this is the best time.

I have decided that you and I, the two armies, will directly enter the territory of Luobu Kingdom from here. After destroying Luobu Kingdom, we will then enter the Hami Kingdom in the northwest. Talmu, take it back to Yumen Pass, and cut it into pieces.

It's a pity that we have too few soldiers and horses. If you give me another 20 troops, divide the troops into two groups, and the other route will go south to destroy Ruoqiang and Cheshi Kingdom.

Forget it now, the two countries are too far away, the main thing is to destroy the three countries of Luobu, Hami and Loulan. "

Hearing Zhao Long's tactics, Xie Xing was taken aback for a while, then he nodded firmly and said,

"Okay, listen to you, let's do it like this, I want to let the world know that the Yue family army has not dispersed, and we are still alive!"

"Okay, take a rest for a day, we will start tomorrow."

As soon as Zhao Long finished speaking, the city gate in the distance opened, and countless soldiers and civilians rushed out, cheering happily.

Seeing this, Zhao Long smiled and said,

"Look, we saved them, and they're coming to meet us."

Xie Xing also laughed when he heard this.

The two waved to the soldiers and civilians who rushed out, but what surprised them was that the countless soldiers and civilians rushed to the northwest without even looking at them.

Only then did they see clearly that some of these people were holding kettles, some were holding wooden barrels, and some were even pulling carts with large wooden barrels on them.

What is this for?

While the two were puzzled, the prefect and county guard of the city came out on horseback and came to them.

"My next official, the magistrate of Mangya City, pays his respects to the two generals."

"Fan Kuan, the prefect of Mangyacheng, my lower official, has seen the two robes."

Seeing that it was the magistrate and county guard, Zhao Long and Xie Xing couldn't help but look at them.

The magistrate was fat and chubby, and he didn't look like a good thing at first glance. The county guard, Fan Kuan, had dark skin, a strong figure, and bandaged scars on his body, which must have been left over from the war.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Long's impression of this sheriff changed greatly. At least, this sheriff is a good official who lives and dies with the soldiers, not someone who just stays in the city and makes others do their best.

"I am Zhao Long, Commander of the Zhenbei Army."

"I am Xie Xing, commander of the Yue Family Army."

The two introduced themselves.

This time Xie Xing was sent by Nie Ze to lead the battle, so he naturally has the position of commander.

As for the Yue Family Army, it was the number added by Xie Xing himself.

The prefect laughed and said,

"It turned out to be the famous Yue Family Army and Zhenbei Army. No wonder they were able to easily defeat 10,000+ enemy troops in one battle. Thanks to you, we can keep Mangya City. Otherwise, the head of the lower official, but It will be used as a ball by the enemy army."

Zhao Long smiled and said,

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. Mangya City can be defended only because of the leadership of the two lords, and the unity of the army and the people in the city.

It is not easy for Mangya City, a lonely city, to be able to hold on until now when it is besieged by the enemy. This commander also understands the hardships of the two adults. "

After hearing Zhao Long's words, the magistrate had a sore nose and almost cried.

He wiped the corners of his eyes and said,

"It's not easy. The food in the city is okay. We can buy cattle and sheep from the herdsmen to satisfy our hunger, but the water source was cut off by the enemy. The city has been completely cut off for several days. The soldiers and civilians are all thirsty and smoking. You If you don't come again, the soldiers and civilians really can't support it.

Fortunately, Master Wang came in time, repelled the enemy army, and saved the people of the whole city. "

Water cut off?

Zhao Long and Xie Xing turned their heads to look at the soldiers and civilians who were still running wildly, and also saw the freshwater lake in the northwest.

I understand why these people are carrying buckets one by one.

It seems that I am really thirsty.

The water was cut off for several days, and they were still stubbornly resisting the enemy without surrendering, which shows the depth of belief of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

It can be seen that these two high officials have indeed done a very good job, at least they are very good to the people and soldiers, otherwise the army and the people would not be so united.

When people are in a desperate situation, any class suppression will become insignificant.

But the people did not rebel, did not surrender, and did not riot, rob and kill officials, which shows that these two people really had their hearts.

Thinking of this, Zhao Long admired the two people in front of him even more, got off his horse, hugged his hands and bowed, saying,

"This commander, on behalf of all the soldiers and civilians and the people of Dachuan, thank you two adults."

"Don't dare, this is what we should do. As parents and officials, we naturally have to protect our people and the city. This is our responsibility.

If we say thank you, we still want to thank you. If you hadn't come in time, the enemy army might have already broken through the city. Our contribution is insignificant, but we are tired and you have traveled thousands of miles to come to support. "

The magistrate bowed again and again, then helped Zhao Long up, and said,

"Two Marshals, I invite you, the lower officials have already prepared a banquet to clean up the dust for you."
