Chapter 365 Two thousand people

The Women's Army was eventually incorporated into other armies by Li Shimin. After all, after passing through the Xuanwu Gate incident, he would never allow a military force near Chang'an that he could not control. This was also a great threat to the stability of the court. In fact, the reason why he was able to seize the throne was because of the Tiance army in his hands, so he did not allow others to have the ability to follow his old path.

However, Li Xiu also won a chance for his brothers in the army to leave freedom. If he was willing to stay in the army, Li Shimin would recruit them to other army, and his position and treatment would not be reduced. Those who were unwilling to stay in the army could also leave freely.

In order to resettle people who are unwilling to stay in the army, Li Xiu and Ma Ye had already decided a way out for them, and Ma Ye also announced it in the army in advance. However, in comparison, more people are still willing to stay in the army. After all, they have long been familiar with the life in the army, and the contributions they have made over the years, Li Shimin has to win people's hearts again. They are likely to be promoted to a higher position in the future, so most of them choose to stay in the army and be adapted.

However, there are many people who hope to leave the army. Before, Ma Ye estimated that there were more than 1,000 people, and even Xiang Shanzhi, a senior general, was determined to leave. Although Xiang Shanzhi was impulsive and rude, he had a very high prestige in the Detachment of Women's Army. As a result, his departure also led a group of people. Finally, it was counted that nearly 2,000 people were willing to leave the army.

Those recruited military brothers were soon taken away by Li Shimin's men. He Panren and Qiu Shili were also appointed. They were transferred to other places to serve as officials, but their official positions were promoted to several levels. Moreover, Li Shimin has not yet ascended the throne, and after ascending the throne, they will definitely be rewarded again.

Ma Ye and Xiang Shanzhi temporarily lived in the military camp with the two thousand people who had withdrawn from the army, but their armor and weapons were taken away and their military pay was stopped. However, Ma Ye asked someone to buy good wine and meat, and ate and drank with these brothers in the military camp for three days and three nights, which was a celebration for the retired brothers.

It was not until the fourth morning that Li Xiu came to the military camp. He didn't dare to come before, because the whole military camp was full of wine men, and he would drink wine when he saw people. As a result, tenants who lived nearby, such as Boss Liu and others came to wander around and have a few bowls of wine to drink. After all, they were all tenants with little knowledge, and they would join in the fun even if they took advantage of it.

The sun was shining in the early morning, but when Li Xiu came to the military camp, he seemed to have entered the battlefield. The ground was full of people lying on the ground, and the alcohol was filled with snoring sounds, and the wine jar and bones were thrown everywhere. It seemed that he must have been drinking until midnight last night. Fortunately, he has been warmer these days, otherwise he would have to freeze to death.

Li Xiu carefully passed through a group of drunkards, but he accidentally stepped on someone during this period. However, the other party still fell asleep with a few mutters, and he didn't know how much he drank yesterday.

When he entered the big tent in the middle of the military camp, he saw Ma Ye and Xiang Shanzhi sleeping well on one on the table and on the ground, and the ground was also in a mess. There were also a few middle-level generals who had retreated around him, but they knew that they would find a blanket for themselves and snore against the tent.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Xiu couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. It was necessary to vent his vent if he retreated from the army, but Ma and his friends were too far away. They wouldn't even have a warning. If an enemy came at this time, no one would wake up even if everyone's heads were cut off.

Li Xiu did not wake up Ma Ye and others, but helped up a overturned stool, kicked away the debris on the ground with his feet, and then sat on the stool and took out a thick stack of plans from his arms. While waiting for Ma Ye and the others to wake up, he modified some shortcomings in the plan.

After waiting for nearly an hour, he saw Mr. Ma who was lying on the table suddenly turn over and fall off the table. With a "bang", he fell to the ground. This made Mr. Ma suddenly wake up and jump up instinctively rub his eyes. Finally, he found Li Xiu sitting next to him.

"Boy, even if you want to wake me up, don't you have to lift me off the table, right?" Mr. Ma immediately said angrily. He actually thought that Li Xiu did it?

"Uncle Ma, I've been here for an hour. If you want to lift you off the table, you don't have to wait until now, right?" Li Xiu was not angry, but instead closed the plan in his hand with a smile.

"Uh?" Mr. Ma looked at his burly figure and then at the narrow table. He smiled embarrassedly, but his throat woke up the rest of the people in the tent, rubbing his eyes and looking here, then stood up while yawning.

"Uncle Ma, everyone has been idle for a few days. Should we discuss what’s next?" Li Xiu saw that Xiang Shanzhi and others woke up, and said with a smile again.

"Li Jijiu said it well. It's boring to drink and eat meat every day. And brothers who are willing to withdraw have a bunch of wives and children waiting for dinner, so it's important to make money!" Xiang Shanzhi was the first to pat his chest when he heard this. Half of the two thousand people in the camp retreated with him, so he must also be responsible for the future lives of these brothers.

"Haha, General Xiang said that the brothers in the army are all old subordinates who have been with the princess for many years. Naturally, the princess and I will not treat everyone badly. I must have known that the caravan is going to be established. I have spent the next few days to make a plan, so everyone can take a look!" Li Xiu said and handed over the plan in his hand. Considering that Xiang Shanzhi and others are all military generals, what he wrote is relatively easy to understand, and they should be able to understand.

However, what Li Xiu did not expect was that Ma Ye waved his hand and said, "There is no need for you to look at them."

"Who said I was illiterate? I... I could write my own name at least!" Xiang Shanzhi blushed when he heard Ma Ye's words. He was born in a poor man and naturally had never read a book. Although he had a good name, he actually asked a fortune teller at home and could not write it. It was not until later that he became a general that he learned to write his own name.

It was the first time that Li Xiu knew that Xiang Shanzhi was actually illiterate. As for the other people in the tent, they were all sarcastic and smiled with a look of embarrassment. After all, scholars are the highest in the past, and it is not a glorious thing to be illiterate.

"Haha, in fact, what is written on it is not important. The key is to look at your abilities, General. Next, I will tell you the next plan!" Li Xiu first smiled and resolved everyone's embarrassment, and then he spoke again. He has thought a lot in the past few days. Establishing a caravan is only his first step. When the caravan grows, there are more things to prepare in the future.
