Chapter 1067

Three days later, Shang Ji finally returned to Xiangping City after a long absence.

Not seen for several months, Xiangping City became more and more prosperous under Deng Yan's governance, with a trend of small changes in three days and major changes in five days.

No matter in terms of population, prosperity, popularity, public security, taxation, etc., Xiangping is not inferior to the real royal city, and even surpasses the ordinary royal city in some aspects.

In fact, not only Xiangping, but the entire Pingzhou area is developing crazily at a rapid pace.

With the passage of time, the benefits of conquering Lee's North Korea gradually emerged. Pingzhou, which was originally developed in a somewhat partial way, is rapidly making up for its shortcomings with the support of manpower and material resources from the Korean Peninsula.

Looking at the increasingly bustling Xiangping City, Shang Ji didn't show off too much, and even specially ordered Xiangping not to organize a reception. After a few simple arrangements and instructions, Shang Ji disbanded the team, and the whole army returned to the camp to rest with peace of mind.

This group of soldiers has been fighting for more than several months, and there are many high-intensity wars. Their state has declined to varying degrees.

The requirements of the soldiers are very simple, and the four words "distinct rewards and punishments" are enough!

After setting up the army, Shang Ji also returned to the City Lord's Mansion after a long absence.

A little farewell is better than a newlywed, so there is no (bu) need (neng) to describe the various things during the period.

After two full days of indulgence, Shang Ji only started to deal with official duties on the third day.

In the study, Shang Ji looked at the row of more than a dozen familiar generals in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

In the battle against Dong, the gains were huge and the losses were not small. Because of the fighting generals, the generals, especially the senior generals, suffered far more damage than normal.

Although the battle loss ratio of the Shangji army is far lower than the average level of the coalition army, this does not mean that the Shangji army has no senior generals who died in battle.

Standing in front of Shang Ji are the dozen or so senior generals who died in the battle of Shang Ji's army.

There are a total of thirteen people here, and Liu Shan is the one with the highest official position and the strongest strength. Liu Shan can also be regarded as a veteran general. He defected to the general when Shang Ji was still the prefect of Liaodong. After years of combat training, coupled with Shang Ji's vigorous cultivation, Liu Shan was already an S-level general before he died in battle. up.

It's a pity that the previous battle was too fierce, and it was extremely dangerous for ordinary S-level generals. Liu Shan unfortunately died in that battle.

In addition to Liu Shan,

There were also twelve senior generals who unfortunately died in battle, and the lowest official rank was also a famous lieutenant.

Of course, including Liu Shan, these thirteen people are only senior generals who died in battle, and the number of middle and low-level generals who fell is even tens of thousands. Because Liu Shan and the others are senior generals, they are qualified to be listed in the Martial God Pavilion, so they can die And resurrection, recovering a life, those middle and low-level ordinary generals are really dead when they die.

After being resurrected from the Martial God Pavilion, the combat power and potential will decline to varying degrees. For top generals, it is tantamount to declaring that their future has come to an end.

"Yigui (Liu Shanzi), tell me what's on your mind right now."

Shang Ji knocked on the table, motioned for a few people to sit down, and then asked.

"You can say whatever you want. Do you want to go to a border county to serve as a sheriff, or an inland county to serve as a county lieutenant? Or to be responsible for the training of recruits in the main force? I will support all your decisions."

Worried that several people would be burdened with their thoughts, Shang Ji added a special sentence.

Now Pingzhou has nearly 20 county-level administrative units (including three prairie ministries), the frontier army does not have a county lieutenant, and the county guard is a general who is in charge of military and political power. In the inland counties, there are county lieutenants and county guards, who are in charge of military affairs respectively.

What Shang Ji meant was that arranging Liu Shan and others to serve as county captains or frontier army guards was also regarded as their placement.

But he didn't want Liu Shan to hesitate after hearing Shang Ji's words. After hesitating for a while, he said, "My lord, the general doesn't want to leave the army."

Shang Ji smiled, and comforted him, "Why did you leave the army? The general didn't ask you to leave the army. Serving as a county lieutenant in a county or going to the frontier army as a county guard, isn't it still in the army!"

"No...the last general...the last general means that he doesn't want to leave the main force."

Shang Ji was silent for a while, then looked back at the others after a while, and asked, "What do you think?"

Several people looked at each other, with hesitation on their faces.

Obviously, these people don't necessarily have the same ideas as Liu Shan. There is a great fear between life and death. After one death, no matter how strong a person is, his views on life and death will change. Liu Shan hopes to continue to charge in the main force, and more people hope to retire to a relatively safe place. .

"Yigui, you go to the side hall to rest for a while, we will talk about it in detail later."

Shang Ji sent Liu Shan to the side hall, and the rest of the people in the study were obviously relieved. They really want to go to the rear to provide for the elderly, and they are really embarrassed to say that with Liu Shan here!

Shang Ji asked the opinions of twelve people one by one, and about seven of them hoped to be a county guard or a county lieutenant, three hoped to stay in the army and concentrate on the training of the army, and two of them were the same as Liu Shan. , I hope to stay in the army and charge forward.

Shang Ji first encouraged those who decided to go to the local government to not have ideological pressure, continue to do their jobs well, and guard one side.

In the end, Liu Shan and two other generals who were eager to continue fighting on the battlefield were recruited.

"You guys have to think about it. There is only one chance to be resurrected in the Martial God Pavilion, and you have already used up the only chance. If you are unfortunately killed in the future, you will have no chance to be resurrected!"

Liu Shan took a step forward, and said firmly: "Everyone is mortal. With the protection of the lord, I will be grateful to have a second chance to die for the lord. The general has made up his mind, and I ask the lord to grant you permission to continue." Go back to the army."

"what about you?"

Shang Ji looked at the other two.

"The last general is the same as General Liu, please continue to serve the Lord."

Shang Ji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you anymore. It's just that the future will be far away, and I hope the three will cherish it."

"My lord's teachings will never be forgotten in my heart."

Shang Ji waved his hand, signaling to them that you are welcome, and after thinking for a while, with a wave of his hand, three sets of armor appeared in front of Shang Ji.

"Here are three sets of armor, which were captured from Dong Zhuo's army. They are of high quality and are rare treasures. I will give them to you today. With their protection, you will be more protected on the battlefield in the future. "

The three of them were not polite, and took a set of armor one by one, then thanked and saluted, and slowly exited the study.

After the three left, Shang Ji let out a long sigh.

Among the thirteen people, Liu Shan has the deepest relationship with Shang Ji, and Liu Shan is also the first S-level general in the Pingzhou Army to sacrifice. As the intensity of the war continues to increase, more and more such sacrifices will be made. Even Shang Ji himself has the possibility of hating the battlefield.
