    ?

    Du Qi's army stopped to rest, and the sky was already bright.  Because of staying up for several days in a row and fighting with all their strength, all the soldiers were quite exhausted. Now that they were stationed to rest, all the soldiers were relieved and opened up to rest.

    Xue Rengui and others were extremely busy.

    Because it is necessary to count the losses.

    It is necessary to register everything in order to facilitate the compensation and award after returning to Gaochang.

    When Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan and others were busy, suddenly a soldier came to Du Qi's camp and reported: "Your Majesty, hundreds of people from outside the camp have arrived, saying they want to see the King.  Come with the flock, the lineup is huge."

    Du Qidao: "Go, go and have a look."

    He was a little surprised.

    How did the people come.

    Du Qi brought Mo Ledo, Guan Zhilan and others to the gate of the camp. At this time, the busy Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan, Shangguanyi and others also followed, and everyone knew the news.

    Du Qi walked to the gate of the camp, but saw that there were already dense crowds of people outside the camp.  In addition, behind these people, there were many flocks of sheep, and there was the sound of lambs bleating and neighing, and the scene was quite chaotic.

    Du Qi stood at the gate of the camp, glanced at the people at the scene, raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the people to be quiet.  After a while, everyone stopped talking, only the sound of the sheep neighing.

    Du Qidao: "This king is Du Qi. The folks gathered here. Who is the leader among you?"

    He directly connected with the leader.

    Because there are too many people gathered at the gate of the camp right now.  If he spoke one by one, I'm afraid Du Qi would not be able to ask Zi Chou Yinmao, but after Du Qi asked, an old man in his seventies came out with a cane.

    He has white hair and beard.

    And the back is bent.

    However, the old man's clothes are clean, although they are not luxurious and beautiful, they are simple and simple.  After seeing Du Qi, he bowed and saluted, "Little old Mo Qiu, pay homage to the king."

    Du Qidao: "Mr. Mo doesn't need to be too polite."

    Speaking of this, Du Qi said: "Where is Mr. Mo, a group of you came to the barracks, especially with the sheep here, but what's the matter?"

    Mo Qiu bowed and said: "Reporting to King Xia, the little old man is from Sanxia Village, Rouyuan County. Our Sanxia Village is just around here, less than six miles away. There are more than 100 households in our village, and it is the largest village nearby.  The village. The little old man is not talented, he is the elder of the village."

    "In this Tang invasion, King Xia was first assassinated, and then King Xia led his army to resist and fought hard against the Tang army. The little old man thought, we can live well because of King Xia's kindness. Without King Xia, we would not be where we are today.  of us."

    "Thinking back a few years ago, our Sanxia Village was extremely poor in Yizhou."

    "Every family is living in dire straits."

    Mo Qiu said: "Because King Xia came to Yizhou, everyone's life has improved and they have spare money. Now that King Xia is at war with Tang, we can't help, so we are thinking about sending some to King Xia."  Come eat."

    "These days, we've been raising meat."

    "And some sheep."

    "No, we just got ready and drove the flock out. Unexpectedly, we got the news that King Xia had defeated the Tang army and had begun to withdraw his troops. Thanks to King Xia camping here, we were able to rush over to meet up."

    "King Xia, in addition to the people of my Sanxia Village, there are also people from more than ten surrounding villages. There are a total of 1,228 people. We gathered 5,000 sheep. Besides, we also prepared some  Meat and dry food are delivered one by one."

    Mo Qiu said: "I implore King Xia to accept it."

    "Please accept it, King Xia."

    In the crowd, someone shouted again.

    "Please accept it, King Xia."

    "Please accept it, King Xia."

    The shouts one after another echoed in the air.

    More and more people shouted together. Although there were only a thousand people shouting together, there was no decisive spirit, no overwhelming momentum, but it represented the heart of all the people and the gratitude of all the people.

    Du Qi looked at the people, but a strong sense of pride rose in his heart.  Because this scene represented his governance in the Xia Kingdom, and he was supported by the people and recognized by the people.

    Du Qi waited quietly. After a long time, all the people stopped talking, and Du Qicai said: "My fellow countrymen, I thank you for your kindness. Thank you."

    While talking, Du Qi bowed to thank everyone, and Mo Qiu saw Du Qi being so polite, so he hurriedlyWhen he resigned, all the people said it was unnecessary.  At the same time, with a wave of Mo Qiu's hand, people began to step forward, bringing sheep one by one into the barracks, and handing the sheep to the soldiers in the army.

    It took about half an hour before the handover was completed.

    Mo Qiu bowed and said, "King Xia, I will take my leave."

    But Du Qi said: "Old Mo, since you are here, why leave in a hurry. It is rare for the folks to come here. I arranged for people to kill all the sheep and eat meat and soup together tonight. Although there is no wine in the army,  But it¡¯s also good to eat meat and drink soup and talk together. Mo Lao and others are full of fists, I am grateful, please don¡¯t refuse.¡±

    The people are very kind, if Du Qi lets him go, he will do a terrible job.  Now that the people are here, Du Qi persuades them to keep them for a meal, which will make the people return to their hearts.

    It's just a sentence.

    When Mo Qiu heard this, he hurriedly said: "King Xia, you don't have to do this, you don't have to do this. I'm here to deliver mutton to reward the soldiers who fought hard. How can I have dinner with the soldiers."

    Du Qi said: "There is nothing wrong with it, because the soldiers can only eat it if you come to deliver the sheep. All the soldiers in this army should be grateful to you. It's settled like this, let's all eat together."

    When Mo Qiu heard the words, he no longer declined.

    He immediately notified it, and all the people became excited when they heard it.  All the people who sent mutton and meat never wanted to stay.  But now that Du Qi asked them to stay and eat, they were even more grateful to Du Qi.

    Du Qi had people kill sheep and deal with dead horses.  There are war horses that died on the battlefield, and it is a pity to throw away these horse meat, so these war horses were originally in the army, and they were disposed of together with the mutton.

    There are enough cooks in the army, and the common people are helping, so the processing is very fast.  Before dark, everything is done and cooking begins.  Along with the cooking of mutton and horse meat, as well as the processing of pasta and rice, the whole camp has been lingering with the smell of food.

    There are also torches in the camp.

    All the soldiers gathered in the empty school field in the camp.

    More than 100,000 people gathered together.

    Among this group of people, there are still some who surrendered with Su Dingfang.  These people have never participated in the war, but now they are all under Du Qi's command and they are all together.

    The people in the army are grouped together by dozens of people, and it is very lively.

    The entire school grounds were as bright as day.

    ? At a glance, the black crowd is overcrowded, but each face is filled with joy and pride, and all the meals have been served.

    There is enough meat tonight, so everyone's meal is full.  Although there was no drink to add to the fun during this meal, the host and guest had a good time after the meal.

    Because it was getting dark, Du Qi asked the people to stay and rest, and the people did not leave until the next morning.  But Du Qi's army rested for a day and set off to return.

    However, when the army was marching, Du Qi specially called Su Dingfang to his side, preparing to arrange Su Dingfang's position.  Because he had been busy before, he didn't have time to make arrangements. Now that the matter is over, Du Qi can make adjustments.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
