Seeing this, Nan Yanxi pretended to be extremely happy and immediately incorporated them into his command team.
Afterwards, he ordered his subordinates to carry out screening overnight, and demobilized all the old, weak, sick, disabled, Fuyuan and his surrendered soldiers, and distributed sufficient severance pay and travel expenses.
Anyway, all he spent was the money and food that Xiang Yang left in Yanzhou City, so Nan Yanxi didn't feel bad.
Most of the soldiers in the old army of this feudal society joined the army just for the sake of food.
Others were captured as strong men and had no choice but to do so.
Now when I hear that I can go home safely with enough money and food, who wouldn't be happy?
In just an instant, more than 4,000 of the 8,000 people left left.
The remaining less than 4,000 people still reluctantly stayed after hearing that their generals had surrendered and that Nan Yanxi's army was well treated.
This way it will be easier to digest.
Nan Yanxi immediately broke up the organization of these 4,000 people and distributed them evenly among his own 20,000 people.
With a ratio of five to one, you don't have to worry about them doing anything else, and it won't have much impact on the combat effectiveness of your original troops.
Now, all we need to do is wait quietly for Nangong Ruoxue's heavy artillery team and baggage team to arrive.
If the soldiers come to report, they will be there at the earliest tomorrow morning and at the latest noon.
Nan Yanxi sighed reassuringly, and her anxious heart finally calmed down.
A little tired, he walked out from behind the desk and yawned, and the sound of a dagger could be heard outside the window.
After listening carefully, I realized that it was almost time.
Touching his growling stomach, he couldn't help but complain to himself, it's really shameful for the majestic prince of a country to be so busy that he hasn't even eaten the meal he ordered.
He immediately stood up and walked to the kitchen while stretching.
When you are away from home, marching and fighting, how can you have so many servants to serve you?
When you are hungry, it is best to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. This is called making enough food and clothing by yourself.
Nan Yanxi disdains being a giant baby who cannot take care of himself.
Nan Yanxi strolled to the kitchen and lit the oil lamp. Nan Yanxi looked around and saw some bacon, potatoes and cabbage, but they were all raw.
At this point, why don't you start cooking some by yourself? It doesn't seem appropriate.
Touching my growling stomach, I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, it would be nice to have some steamed buns, pickles or something to eat with it, or even if it's not that good, it would be great to have some porridge to drink.
Muttering in her mouth, Nan Yanxi took two steps forward and opened the lid of the pot on the stove.
In an instant, a white smoke condensed by hot air rose into the sky. Nan Yanxi was stunned and subconsciously looked inside.
I saw a grate placed on the big pot, with three plates and two bowls placed on it, but in order to keep it warm, additional plates were placed on top.
Below is the hot water that has just been boiled and is steaming.
Nan Yanxi blinked and thought to herself, who is this? Do you still want to make small meals during the war?
Holding the pot lid in hand, I went to the kitchen door and looked on both sides, but saw no one.
I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, and laughed secretly, no matter who is eating Xiao Zao, I have to help the factory today.
He immediately turned around and ran back to the stove, rubbed his hands together with salivation, and carefully took out the dishes and bowls.
Some of them touched their earlobes because they were burned. Nan Yanxi drooled and took off the caps.
When I looked up, I couldn't help but exclaim, oh...!
Among the three plates, one was filled with fried vegetables, one was filled with fried eggs, and the other was chopped beef with soy sauce.
Among the two bowls, one is hot millet porridge and the other is fragrant white rice.
With a glance from the corner of his eye, chopsticks, spoons and a small pot of still-warm wine were thoughtfully prepared by the stove.
Hey, I really enjoy it...
Nan Yanxi smacked her lips without being polite. First she poured herself a small glass of wine and took a sip of it.
Then he grabbed his chopsticks, stood by the stove, and started eating happily.
But before I had even taken two bites, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Nan Yanxi still had a piece of soy sauce beef hanging from her mouth. When she heard the sound, she immediately raised her head with a guilty conscience.
"Huh? Brother Nan, are you here?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Nan Yanxi was surprised to find that the person here was Lu Yingying.
Blinking blankly, he sucked the beef with soy sauce into his mouth with a slurp.
Nan Yanxi scratched her head in embarrassment: "Hey hey hey...it's Yingying, I...I'm not hungry anymore, come here to find something to eat."
Then he invited: "Have you eaten? Let's go together. Look, this is not only a small stove prepared secretly by someone, it is also quite rich. If you don't eat it, you will get it for free!"
Hearing this, Lu Yingying couldn't help but burst into laughter, covered her mouth and said, "Brother Nan...this is what I prepared for you."
"I just calculated that you must have finished your work, so I wanted to go over and take a look. When I arrived in your study, I found that there was no one there."
"It's so easy to find the sister you harmed. I didn't expect you to eat it here first."
"Ah? Prepared for me?" Nan Yanxi was flattered for a moment when she heard this.
I couldn't help but admire in my heart, this girl is really considerate, she is a good material for a good wife and mother.
"This...Sister Yingying is really thoughtful. I asked myself why it tastes so delicious. It turns out it was my sister who made it, hahaha..."
"My sister is really a good girl who is a good wife and mother!"
When Lu Yingying heard this, she smiled sheepishly: "Brother Nan knows how to praise people, how can I be so good?"
"Oh, by the way, it's so inconvenient here, why don't my sister bring it to the house for you?"
"Hey~ No, no, it's far away. It's nice to be here." Nan Yanxi waved her hand carelessly.
Looking back and looking around, I saw a small square table with broken legs standing in the corner, as well as several small wooden stools.
He immediately said happily: "Hey...that's it."
As he spoke, he reached out and lifted up the small square table with broken legs, and moved it out of the kitchen in two steps.
There are two small vegetable plots on both sides of the door of the kitchen. There is a shelf directly above it, which is covered with loofah seedlings.
There are several beautiful yellow flowers hanging and a few unripe fruits.
Nan Yanxi placed the table under the loofah stand and looked around. It looked like an idyllic scene.
I couldn't help but admire in my heart: "Hey...it's really a good place."
She turned to Lu Yingying and said excitedly: "Yingying, it's really nice here. Let's eat here."
"Uh..." Lu Yingying behind her was stunned for a moment, somewhat in disbelief: "Is... here?"
After all, Lu Yingying is a lady and comes from a wealthy family.
Although I have been training with Nan Yanxi's army for more than a year.
But I'm mainly in charge of logistics, and I haven't really had much time to sleep in the open.
Not to mention eating under the melon stand next to two vegetable plots.
You know, the fertilizer applied to the fields at that time was all farm manure, not to mention whether it smelled bad or not. It made me feel uncomfortable thinking about it.
It would be really scary if a bug fell into the bowl under this melon stand.
