Chapter 233 Promotion
Yang Fengxiao did not say anything this time. After all, Song Huaian was the only one present who had seen the performance of these people. He was a military general, and those who killed the enemy should be promoted.
"General Song, you and I are both third-rank generals. Since you've seen them kill the enemy, it's up to you to decide their ranks."
Song Huaian thought for a moment before speaking.
"Li Xiao was originally an eighth-rank lieutenant. His bravery in killing the enemy was his first merit. He showed no fear in confronting the Northern King, which was his second merit. Escorting General Pei was his third merit. He will be promoted to the sixth-rank Zhaowu lieutenant. Lu Zhan and Fang Zhiyi were originally unknown soldiers, but they grew braver in the face of the Northern Wing Army. They will be promoted to eighth-rank lieutenants. As long as we win the second battle, you will continue to rise."
Li Xiao and the others were delighted, as it was true that wealth and honor can be achieved through risk.
"I would like to thank General Song and General Yang."
Jun Moye glanced at them calmly and quickly gave orders in a deep voice.
"Li Xiao, Fang Zhiyi, Lu Zhan, since you escorted General Pei back from the city wall, you naturally have some knowledge of the Northern Wing Army. Immediately lead your men to the nearby counties or towns and inform everyone of the urgent situation ahead, so as to mobilize the young men of the northwest to join the battle."
Li Xiao naturally understood the meaning of this. The first point was indeed to recruit more troops to defend the northwest together. The second point was to allow the people trained by the young master for more than a year to take this opportunity to enter the northwest barracks.
"Yes, I will wait for you to go right away."
The image of General Pei covered in blood suddenly flashed through Jun Moye's mind, and Jun Moye spoke again.
"When recruiting soldiers, you can also call on some doctors who are willing to treat the injured soldiers. My family will give them an additional amount of silver according to the treatment of military doctors."
After hearing this, Li Xiao and others hurriedly bowed.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Seeing that Jun Moye's arrangements were so organized and comprehensive, Yang Fengxiao was depressed. This Young Master Jun was not simple, and his wife could actually defeat him. He suddenly thought of something he had missed and spoke hurriedly.
"Master Jun, whether it's mobilizing or recruiting troops, a large amount of food, fodder, and medicinal materials will be needed to fight this war. The city tower has been lost, and our granary there has also been destroyed. It will be a tough battle from now on. If reinforcements from several states arrive, then the food..."
Su Hanchu spoke thoughtfully after hearing this.
"General Yang, this question is not difficult. Minji has a fleet of cars, and Minji's shops are spread all over the country. I am familiar with the owner of Minji. In the face of national crisis, I believe that the owner of Minji is also a person who understands the overall situation.
We can ask the boss of Minji to help us buy food. Minji already has oil and salt. After the battle is over, the government will pay Minji according to the market price."
Yang Fengxiao frowned and spoke after hearing this.
"Is this on credit? Will the people be willing to do so?"
Su Hanchu spoke affirmatively.
"General Yang, perhaps you are in the military camp, busy with military affairs, and don't know enough about the affairs of the people. The people's livelihood is indeed a business, but the business of the people's livelihood is all for the consideration of the people. Mushroom Square has increased the family income of many people.
The rice, millet, and corn seeds developed by Minji have increased the people's crop yields. Minji cares deeply about the people of the world. Now that we face a formidable enemy, I believe Minji will do what it can."
Yang Fengxiao wanted to say something else, but Song Huaian had already spoken.
"Madam Jun, we warriors are all rough people. Since you are familiar with Boss Minji, please talk to him. If Boss Minji can deliver food and fodder, our entire Northwest Army will be grateful.
As for the silver, we will submit a memorial to the court in the next meeting. Once the food and military pay arrive from the court, we will settle the matter with the people."
After listening to this, Su Hanchu nodded and spoke.
"Thank you General Song and General Yang for your trust. Han Chu will definitely get this done."
Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice after they had discussed it.
"Now that everything has been discussed, let's each do our part. General Yang, I'll need your attention regarding mobilizing troops from the various prefectures. Everyone, please disperse."
Everyone left the tent and went about their own business.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye walked together.
Jun Moye spoke in a low voice.
"Chu Chu, what should we do next about what you said about Stonehenge?"
Su Hanchu spoke.
"Don't worry, let's go take a look at Lianghe Cliff now. You'll understand in a moment. But before we go, we have to make arrangements first. Jiang Like should be here too."
After hearing this, Jun Moye ordered Qinggu to bring two fast horses and walked out of the camp with Su Hanchu.
Sure enough, Jiang Like was already waiting in the distance, and his horse was tied not far away, eating grass.
As soon as he saw Su Hanchu and Jun Moye, he hurried over to greet them.
"Sir, Madam."
Su Hanchu looked at him and spoke.
"Jiang Like, tell Hanzhi to send some of the food we prepared to the Northwest Barracks, some to Lianghe Cliff, and also send a few pigs every day. We must ensure that the soldiers in the Northwest are well-fed before going to the battlefield."
Jun Moye whispered something to Qinggu.
At the city wall on the northwest border.
Your people have already fled, and those who did not escape have died by the sword of the northern wing army.
All the Northwestern soldiers who were defending here had been killed in the battle, and their bodies were casually thrown into the distant woods by the Northern Wing Army.
After the Northern King and a group of soldiers from the Northern Wing had a big meal, they began to discuss the next battle.
Special Agent Chagatai spoke.
"Northern King, the Khan has limited food and fodder for this battle. We must capture the northwest as soon as possible to resupply it. I beg your permission to continue leading the warriors of my northern wing and capture the northwest as soon as possible."
Hu Yetash also stood up and bowed.
"Northern King, I am willing to lead my troops to pursue our victory. It is impossible for all the troops from the Northwest to be concentrated on this border, but we have already annihilated tens of thousands of Northwestern soldiers. I believe the remaining troops are nothing to fear."
A handsome man holding a folding fan spoke.
"Northern King, we have indeed annihilated tens of thousands of the northwest defenders, but we don't have enough soldiers. One reason is that the northwest is vast and sparsely populated. Another reason is that it is blessed with an extra barrier compared to other places. Further ahead is Lianghe Cliff, which is even more difficult to attack than this city wall.
Although we have just won a victory on the northern wing, our soldiers are already somewhat exhausted after all this march and such a fierce battle. I suggest we rest for two more days to allow them to recuperate and then make a concerted effort to conquer the northwest."
Chagatai snorted coldly and spoke.
"Hmph, Master Qingyuan, you've probably been in northwest Tianyuan for too long and picked up its cowardly aura. Your cowardly appearance is a disgrace to our warriors of the North Wing. When it comes to fighting, who in the world do our warriors of the North Wing fear? So I say we should lead our army forward immediately. What's the use of the northwest? We should march south and capture the imperial city of Tianyuan in one fell swoop."
