Chapter 188 There is nothing better than withdrawing eggs
But what if it doesn't matter, the plan was successful in the end. None of the Xueyantuo people ran away and were all caught. As for what else would happen in the future, it was not what they needed to take care of.
That night, Li Muyun took Su Wanqing and others back to Shanyin County Government. He saw Yu Zhining who was already waiting for him.
As soon as they entered the yard, everyone heard Old Li Yuan laughing: "How is it, I'm right? This guy is more savored than a monkey. How could he not even deal with the three thousand Xue Yantuo people?"
"The village master is wise!" Yu Zhining looked at the unharmed people, breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Old Li Yuan.
This old man has not eaten well and sleeps well these days, for fear of something going on at the border. If Li Muyun fails and Xue Yantuo attacks the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably lead to another disaster in the world.
Not to mention that Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, is still in Shanyin County. Not to mention whether this old man would be injured by Xue Yantuo people, even if he lost a hair, he would probably be a serious crime for his own group of people to lose their heads.
Li Muyun was the first to enter the yard, so he naturally heard what Li Yuan was saying. He laughed and said, "Dad, you still understand me, but Teacher Yu has never had much confidence in me."
"It's not because you are irritable in your work, otherwise how could Zhining not trust you?" Although Li Yuan smiled on his face, it would be nonsense if he was not worried at all. However, this old man had been an emperor and was terrifyingly cunning. The casual people could not see any clues in their performance.
When Yu Zhining heard Li Yuan say this, he looked at Li Muyun with a deep meaning, with doubts, confusion, relief and a layer of inexplicable things in his eyes.
However, Li Yuan didn't think so much, and he continued to say, "How about it, with your kid's ability, you should have left half of Xueyantuo people!"
"Hehe, Dad, you guessed wrong this time. None of the three thousand people from Xueyantuo came ran away. We were all captured by us, and none of our people were injured." The fat man hugged behind and couldn't help it. He jumped out on his own initiative and shouted in a desperate chorus.
"What? No one ran away, they all caught?"
The so-called "one stone hit a thousand layers of waves". As soon as the fat man said, Li Yuan's face changed, but even Yu Zhining almost jumped up in shock.
As far as Lao Yu knows, there are at most about 500 defenders at the border. Even if there are two hundred Khitans, the total number will not exceed 700. As for the minions brought by Li Muyun, Yu Zhining thinks that even the auxiliary soldiers of the Sixteen Guards are not as good as those of them. It is better to say that they are delivering vegetables than to fight.
But it was such a group of people who captured the Xueyantuo cavalry in one net, which was a bit beyond Zhining's imagination.
However, soon, Yu Zhining's doubts were explained from the fat man. Although this guy is not very fleshy, he is not very eloquent. He only talks about what happened during the day with thrilling and twists and turns. The yamen runners on one side were stunned and looked gloomy.
After a while, the fat man finished speaking, Yu Zhining frowned and said, "So you brought back all the spoils?"
"Yes." The fat man nodded and said with a smile: "More than 6,300 war horses are definitely good horses. It will cost a lot of money to sell them."
"Why? Why don't you bring the prisoners of war back?" Yu Zhining asked, but obviously he was asking Li Muyun about this sentence.
"What's the use of me asking for prisoners of war? At most, it's better to give it to the border army. At least they can use it to report military merits. It's not easy for everyone to take what they want." Li Muyun shrugged.
He would not say too thoroughly about the equalization of interests. The border army also has the uses of border army. If there is no benefit to the border army this time, God knows whether they will put some "bandits" or "horse thieves" next time. At that time, Li Muyun will be cheated and can't find a place to cry.
So in order to prevent all this from happening, Li Muyun did not take all the benefits alone, but gave the military merits that were not very important to him to the border army, while he took away the "money" that was useless to the border army.
Of course, the border troops actually wanted money, but they had no way to take action. There was no benefit in keeping so many war horses in their hands except being missed by others, so Li Muyun didn't say anything if he wanted to take the captain away.
But Li Muyun still underestimated Yu Zhining, the old man, after hearing him say that he should take what he needs, he immediately scolded him with a calm face: "Nonsense, this is simply nonsense. How can you give away military merits? What's the difference between buying and selling official positions?"
What the hell? Why did I buy and sell official positions? Li Muyun never expected that the old man Yu Zhining was so weird. He glared at him and wanted to quarrel with him, but was stopped by Old Li Yuan: "You two are all saying less, boy, your teacher is also for your own good. Military merits are not something you can give, and you are indeed wrong to do this."
"But Old Yu, this guy Mu Yun doesn't understand these things, so he did this. Don't bother with him this time. For my sake, what if I don't do it?"
Since Li Yuan spoke, even if Yu Zhining was not satisfied with Li Muyun, he couldn't say anything. After drinking a promise, he sat back in the same place, but his face still looked unhappy.
Li Muyun didn't care at all, just a few thousand prisoners, and it was no big deal to give some military merits to the border army.
However, the old man had already spoken, and he had to give him some face, and he didn't want to make a fuss with that old man Yu Zhining at the moment, so he nodded as saying that he was wrong.
...
When things came to this point, everyone was not very happy, so Li Muyun no longer had the intention of bragging, so he thought about finding a place to rest.
After all, Old Li Yuan and Yu Zhining now occupy the place where he originally lived, and if you want to rest, you need to find another place.
And at this moment, the little old man Li Yuan spoke again: "By the way, how do you plan to report to the Fucheng for this incident?"
"How else can I report it? Just say that Xue Yantuo's people invaded the border and were wiped out by all the border troops. It's too troublesome to say too much." Li Muyun sighed, thinking that Old Man Yu would jump up again when he heard this.
Facts proved that Li Muyun guessed it was not wrong. After hearing his explanation, Yu Zhining's first thought was bullshit, and the second thought was that nothing was more bullshit than this.
