Chapter 40 Luo Xing is missing
Three days later, the military rewards and three hundred sheep issued by the Jiedushi Mansion were delivered to Feng'an Military City.

The law has already written into the law that soldiers should be rewarded for their meritorious service. Those with greater merits will be rewarded with silk, while those with ordinary merits will be rewarded with money.

It was signed by the commander-in-chief, executed by the judge, and distributed to knights who had killed the enemy and made great contributions.

The judge of the Shuofang Jiedushi was ordered to come to Feng'an Army. In front of Li Xuan and the generals, he informed Lu Yu of Wang Zhongsi's instructions, making Lu Yu pale and unable to save face.

Liu Xi tried to persuade Lu Yu a few days ago, but Lu Yu didn't appreciate it.

Obviously, Liu Xi, who often stayed in Shuofang, knew Wang Zhongsi better.

Liu Xi's heart was calm, but he was even more disappointed with Lu Yu.

"General, five hundred sheep are just enough for the whole army. Three hundred sheep are not enough for the soldiers to share. I suggest that these sheep be kept on the other side of the Yellow River. The winner of each military exercise will get the sheep."

After seeing off the Jiedushi and the judge, Lu Yu summoned all the generals to the military headquarters.

Li Xuan took the opportunity to ask Lu Yu for instructions.

He was the person who knew Wang Zhongsi best in the Tang Dynasty, so he dared to openly shoot and injure Gao Lanzhou's cavalry.

The historical records of Wang Zhongsi are clear.

Wang Zhongsi before the age of forty and Wang Zhongsi after the age of forty were two completely different people.

As a result, people of this era do not have a thorough understanding of Wang Zhongsi.

People at that time had the impression that Wang Zhongsi was a fierce general and a brave commander.

To stop the war is the military, before and after the destruction of the Later Turks, Wang Zhongsi already had a heart of benevolence and righteousness that cared about the world.

Even Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng and Hun Yu who came later could not comprehend this truth.

"I agree with General Li's words."

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Ashina Fuwen stood up and agreed, not caring about Lu Yu's expression at all.

"I also think that General Li's suggestion makes sense and can inspire the soldiers to be more motivated to train."

Gao Kai then stood up and bowed.

With them taking the lead, other yamen generals also expressed their agreement.

"Just as General Lee said."

Lu Yu knew he couldn't refuse this suggestion.

He has already been humiliated.

He even suspected that Wang Zhongsi favored Li Xuan because of his identity.

However, Lu Yu was not a pushover. He knew that he could not deal with Li Xuan for the time being, but he could embarrass Li Xuan for a while. So he ordered Li Xuan: "General Wang ordered our Feng'an Army to return the war horses from Gaolanzhou. General Li, you personally deliver these 1,000 war horses to the Gaolanzhou Governor's Office."

"As ordered!"

Li Xuan frowned and obeyed. After all, he was not the commander-in-chief and had to obey Lu Yu's orders.

Wang Zhongsi severely punished the Lanzhou cavalry, so Li Xuan had no reason to keep these war horses.

Although he was reluctant, he was confident that he could form more cavalry in the future.

"Such a trivial matter is not worthy of General Li's involvement. I am willing to do it for you."

Ashina Fuwen stepped forward and asked Li Xuan to deliver the war horses. How embarrassing!

"The Feng'an Army has newly formed 500 cavalrymen. Your mission is to train the new cavalrymen."

Lu Yu's words became harsh. Since Li Xuan's arrival, Ashina Fuwen has become a troublemaker.

He was filled with hatred and vowed to deal with this barbarian sooner or later.

Five hundred of the horses seized from the Turks last time can be used as war horses.

Select five hundred men who are able to ride horses from the army to serve as cavalry.

Ashina Fuwen wanted to say something else, but Li Xuan stopped him with his eyes.

Hun Shizhi didn't dare to do anything to him, it was just a trip.

"General Li, we must set out early tomorrow morning to avoid being criticized."

These little actions made Lu Yu feel even more aggrieved. After saying this, he left the Jiedushi's court.

Today is not a training day, so Li Xuan went back to his room to read.

This time, Li Xuan brought more than a dozen books from Chang'an. In addition to historical materials since the early Tang Dynasty, he also brought books on studying music.

Once you enter the frontier, you won't always have opportunities to fight. Most of the time you will spend in training and missing your loved ones.

He planned to buy a pipa and a flute. After training, or when he got bored from practicing calligraphy or reading, he would use musical instruments to cultivate his sentiments.

"Lin Jiu, Luo Xing and Wang Shi haven't come back yet?"

After taking a look at the sky outside the window, Li Xuan suddenly put down the book and asked Lin Jiu.

Early in the morning, Li Xuan gave the gold he was carrying to Luo Xing, and asked him to take Wang Shi to Feng'an County, exchange the gold for copper coins, and return them to the herdsmen.

Lin Jiu shook his head. Li Xuan stood up. It was already dusk. Could something have happened?

Based on his understanding of Luo Xing, if he could not exchange for Feng'an City, he would definitely come back to report to him. It is impossible for him to go to other cities on his own initiative.

"General Ashina, my men took the gold to Feng'an City to exchange for coins, but they haven't returned yet. Bring a few riders with me to Feng'an City."

Li Xuan found Ashina Fuwen and gave him instructions.

He must go to Feng'an City to ask.

"Yes!"

Ashina Fuwen knew that this was a big deal and did not dare to neglect it.

To the east of the military city, connected to the ferry.

Li Xuan took Ashina Fuwen and a dozen soldiers and rowed across the Yellow River.

There are horses at the ferry circle on the other side.

Feng'an Military City is a military fortress, full of soldiers, auxiliary personnel, and servants.

Feng'an City is the center of Feng'an County.

It took them a moment to reach Feng'an County on horseback.

At sunset, the Feng'an city gate was ready to close.

"Stop closing the gates!"

As the city gate slowly closed, Ashina Fuwen came on horseback and shouted.

"Who are you?"

The county soldiers guarding the gate were alert. Today was not a training day, and Li Xuan and his group were not wearing armor. They did not know the identities of Li Xuan and his group.

"General Li, the deputy envoy of Feng'an Army, is here..."

Ashina Fuwen responded.

When the county soldiers heard this, they were shocked and immediately stepped aside.

The Feng'an Army is superior to the Feng'an City. In the event of a war, everything in Feng'an City must be dispatched by the Feng'an Army.

"Take me to see Feng An Ling!"

Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

The city gates were closed, but Luo Xing and Wang Shi were nowhere to be seen.

Li Xuan suspected that Luo Xing had shown off his wealth and was targeted, and met with an unexpected disaster.

A moment later, Li Xuan arrived at Feng'an County Government Office.

"Greetings to General Li. May I ask why General Li is here?"

When Feng'an magistrate Xu Jian learned that it was the deputy envoy of Feng'an Army who came, he immediately went out to greet him.

Feng'an County was a middle-lower-level county, and the county magistrate was of the seventh grade, which was far lower than Li Xuan.

"Two of my servants came to Feng'an City today and have not returned yet." Li Xuan didn't waste time talking to Xu Jian and went straight to the point.

"This is happening!"

Xu Jian looked surprised.

"I hope the county magistrate can find the clue within an hour."

Li Xuan said to Xu Jian.

Feng'an Army is not a big city with many merchants. If two strangers enter the city, someone will definitely see them.

"I understand."

Xu Jian nodded, and then asked Li Xuan: "General, please go to the county government office to rest first."

"No need, I'll go with you."

Li Xuan waved his hand.

The sounds of gongs and drums soon rang out in Feng'an City.

Judging from the route, Luo Xing and Wang Shi must have passed through the west gate to enter Feng'an City.

Li Xuan followed the county officials and soldiers and went to interrogate the merchants near the west city gate first.

After describing the appearance of Luo Xing and Wang Shi, all the merchants shook their heads and said they had never seen them.

An hour later, other county soldiers and county officials also came to report to Xu Jian that they had never seen anyone similar to Luo Xing and Wang Shi enter the city.

"It's strange. How could two living people disappear out of thin air?"

Li Xuan glanced at Xu Jian indifferently.
