When another dawn comes.
When that ray of sunlight shines on Yueming Valley.
When Captain Gong saw that the huge Yueming Valley was surrounded by soldiers from the northern border army.
He knew then that it was all over.
His subordinates have been exhausted these days and haven't eaten or slept for five days and five nights. Even he himself has no fighting spirit at the moment. He just wants to find a clean place to lie down and have a good sleep.
So no fighting took place here. Gong Shenchang's peasant army had already dropped their weapons and surrendered immediately.
Peng Chengwu ordered his subordinates to escort all the captives to Tiandao Village, but he himself came to the valley entrance under the escort of a hundred personal guards.
The Excalibur Army was also very tired. At this moment, they were sitting at the entrance of the valley, eating dry food in big mouthfuls to recover their strength.
Even so, Peng Chengwu still saw hundreds of soldiers standing vigilantly on guard in all directions - what kind of army was this?
In a remote corner of the team, Bai Yulian and Fu Xiaoguan were chatting while eating dry food.
"Such a great achievement, he will definitely come to thank you..." Fu Xiaoguan took a bite of the bread and said, "You have to go see him, because you have to help him convey a message for me."
"What?"
"Now that Captain Gong has been captured, his soldiers were once peasants. Tell him to release all of them..." Fu Xiaoguan pulled out a letter from his sleeve pocket. "Here, give this to him. After reading it, he'll know what to do."
Bai Yulian took the letter and asked, "Are you still not showing up?"
"Not yet."
Bai Yulian knew about Fu Xiaoguan's little troubles, but he didn't ask any more questions. He walked towards Peng Chengwu while chewing on a piece of bread, but he had many feelings in his heart.
Peng Chengwu, General of the Northern Frontier Army!
This is an extremely high existence!
Looking back to those days, I was just a small cavalry captain in the eastern border army, leading only a few thousand people. Let alone speaking a word to the general, even looking at him from afar was difficult.
But now he has to stand in front of the general and have a conversation on an equal footing.
This is the magic sword!
He had no fear of meeting the general because he was the victor and the magic sword he trained was powerful enough to look down upon all the armies in the world.
That guy Fu Xiaoguan is truly a monster!
Peng Chengwu looked at the young and handsome general walking towards him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart - it really is a new generation replacing the old one. How old is he? Just in his early twenties.
But he possessed such a powerful army that with only 4,000 people, he drove away Gong Shenchang's army of more than 100,000 for five days and five nights!
What kind of combat power is that?
Peng Chengwu couldn't imagine it.
Which side of the army does this belong to?
Peng Chengwu really wanted to know.
Bai Yulian stood in front of Peng Chengwu while chewing on a piece of bread. He was not as strong as Peng Chengwu, and even half a head shorter than Peng Chengwu, but his aura was not inferior in the slightest.
He was still chewing and said casually, "I'm really hungry. General, please wait until I finish this bread."
Peng Chengwu's guards watched in astonishment, but they didn't blame Bai Yulian for her slow treatment. This was an army worthy of everyone's respect, and the general before them was the leader of this army! Therefore, he was also worthy of everyone's admiration!
Beishan, which was unable to be captured by more than 100,000 border troops, was captured by the young general in front of him with 4,000 people. There were only more than 80,000 people left when they arrived at Yueming Valley. In other words, this general led 4,000 soldiers and killed at least 60,000 soldiers of the Palace Headquarters!
This is an unimaginable achievement for them!
In the more than two hundred years of history of the Yu Dynasty, no, in the thousand years of human history, such a record has never been seen!
That’s not hundreds of thousands of pigs!
But they really did it!
Then they were shocked to see the general clasp his hands together and respectfully bow to Bai Yulian, "Young hero! You deserve my respect!"
Bai Yulian was so shocked that she almost choked to death.
He is a soldier at heart. Having served in the Eastern Frontier Army for several years, he is still clear about the hierarchy of the army. He is the general of one of the four major frontier armies of the Yu Dynasty!
Bai Yulian swallowed the unchewed biscuit in her mouth, straightened her chest and abdomen, stood at attention and saluted: "Commander of the Excalibur Special Forces, Bai Yulian, salutes the general!"
His way of saluting was unique, but in the eyes of Peng Chengwu and his personal guards, it seemed extremely imposing, heroic, and dignified!
Peng Chengwu looked at Bai Yulian and thought that this must be the young man from the Yu Dynasty!
The red sun rises, its path bright.
The future is as vast as the sea, and the future is bright!
"I'm ashamed. Please, General Bai, lead your troops to the main camp to rest."
Bai Yulian shook her head. "That's right. Eliminating Gong Shenchang is a means, not an end. Our goal is to bring peace to this land. Right now, nine out of ten households in Yongning Prefecture are deserted, the fields are barren, and the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking are unheard of..."
He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Your Majesty is currently promoting a policy of promoting both commerce and agriculture. Pingling and Quyi counties are two pilot areas in Yongning Prefecture, and the refugees that Captain Gong recruited were mostly villagers from these two areas."
"General, on the way here, we passed by a large village, but we only saw an old man."
"This old man asked me, which is more important, life or the law... Now I understand, life is more important. So they turned to the head of the palace to survive. This is not their fault, but the court's ineffective policies."
Peng Chengwu was startled, "General Bai, be careful with your words."
Bai Yulian smiled. "That's fine, it's the truth. So my only request is that the General release those farmers. They're not soldiers, they're just farmers... Captain Gong, and the bandits he brought from both sides of the Yellow River, as well as the corpses he found all the way from Beishan to here, are all the General's military achievements. Please show mercy."
This is what Fu Xiaoguan is most worried about - military merit!
Peng Chengwu must not kill tens of thousands of civilians just for this military achievement!
Of course, if Peng Chengwu wanted to chop off those people's heads, it would not be illegal. They were not white ducks, but real rebels who had rebelled!
Peng Chengwu frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment. He felt very aggrieved in this battle!
He really wants to kill someone!
Bai Yulian handed him a letter and said, "General, if you feel uneasy, please read this letter... Also, I hope you can send the food that Gong Shenchang has hidden in the mountains to Pingling and Quyi counties."
"After all, those people who return home still need food to survive the winter. Otherwise, we will never be able to completely eliminate these bandits."
Bai Yulian saluted Peng Chengwu again, "The Excalibur Special Forces have completed their mission, General... Goodbye!"
Peng Chengwu was stunned. Are you leaving now?
"General Bai, please wait! May I ask who the Excalibur Special Forces are subordinate to?"
Bai Yulian smiled brightly, revealing two rows of beautiful teeth.
"Linjiang, Xishan militia training!"
“…???”
