The same man whose armor was stained with blood climbed up the tower. He had just arrived in the north the day before yesterday.
"How many people did we lose?"
Song Heng asked with his back turned to him.
Qiao Mu said: "Twenty thousand enemies were killed and ten thousand were killed in battle."
"I wonder how long this battle will take to end?"
Today's barbarians in the Northern Territory are more difficult to deal with than before, and according to the intelligence they received, the enemy has received another hundred thousand reinforcements.
Now, they only have about 200,000 soldiers and horses, while the enemy has at least 250,000 troops. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. It is not easy to win.
Therefore, they are now adopting a conservative style of play, only defending but not attacking, which means they have to fight a protracted war with the Northern Territory.
Qiao Mu knew that the general wanted to end the war as soon as possible and go home early, and he wanted to do it too, but it was not up to them.
Under the current circumstances, they had to act steadily, without making mistakes or taking risks, in order to defeat the northern army with minimal casualties.
"It will come to an end."
Qiao Mu said.
The woodwork factory was built, and Shen Wan hired a lot of carpenters, including retired soldiers who had retired due to injuries, and some family members of soldiers who died in the war.
The wood factory not only produces wheelchairs, but also foldable sofas, chairs, rocking chairs, and hanging chairs. Of course, these drawings were given by Shen Wan.
The first batch of wheelchairs were produced, and they were all used by people in need in the factory.
Shen Wan also took one home for Mrs. Liu. Her legs and feet were not good, so she often stayed in the yard and rarely went out.
With this wheelchair, Xiaocao and Xiaohua pushed her around the garden every day, and her complexion and energy improved a lot.
The sixth day of June is the day of the college examination. The examination lasts for three days, but you can go home in the evening after the examination.
Lu Wenzhi had no reference for his ending and wanted to wait until the next time.
As soon as Song Ziling entered the examination room, everyone in the imperial city knew that the son of General Zhenbei was going to take the scholar examination.
Some people say that he is too anxious. He has not studied at Qingyun Academy for a long time! He wants to take the scholar examination, but he will definitely fail.
Song Ziling hasn't even finished the exam yet! People outside have begun to badmouth him, and many people are still waiting to see his jokes.
After the three-day exam, the academy also had a five-day long holiday. Song Ziling was waiting at home for the results to come out. He didn't care about those who said he was in a hurry and would definitely fail the exam.
Three days later, the results were released. Not only did Song Ziling get selected as a scholar, he also performed exceptionally well and got sixth place in the exam.
Those who badmouthed him were slapped in the face one after another. Lu Wenzhi and Lin Chen even came to the General's Mansion to congratulate Song Ziling. Shen Wan prepared a good banquet in Zhaixinglou to entertain them.
After going to court, Shen Ming and several colleagues from the household department went to the public house.
"Master Shen, your nephew is not an ordinary person. Not only did he become a scholar at a young age, he even got sixth place in the exam!"
Then Song Ziling is only twelve years old! That boy in his family has been studying for more than ten years and is still a child. Compared with Song Ziling, he seems so useless.
"No, Master Zhong is ridiculously complimentary, but Zi Ling did indeed do well in the exam."
The corners of Shen Ming's mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Twelve-year-old scholars are not common. I'm afraid your nephew's future will be limitless. He might even be able to win the top prize like Mr. Shen!"
"It is said that nephews follow uncles. Mr. Shen's nephew might actually win the top prize in the future."
Shen Ming raised his lips and smiled. These people were still saying a few days ago, Mr. Shen, your nephew is too anxious. It has only been a few years since he started studying seriously. He must have failed the exam so early. He changed his mind so quickly. That face is really ridiculous.
