Yan Bing stood up on his toes as his ears were pulled. He quickly took out his purse from his arms, picked out a five hundred tael silver note and handed it over. He was instantly out of trouble!
Looking at Feng Chen again, he stared straight at the five hundred taels of silver notes in his hand, trembling all over.
Yan Bing took the opportunity to wink at Lu Liang. Lu Liang understood instantly and jumped out of the city wall and ran straight into the pass.
It's so scary... If this guy knew that I gave Senior Brother Fifteen a thousand taels, he would definitely scold me for being partial again.
But there is no other way. Brother Fifteenth, this journey is really a long journey, so naturally I have to pay more...
In fact, Yan Bing ordered three things in total to Lu Liang.
First, they passed by Panjin and Jinzhou, two border cities, and used the royal decree to order them to hoard food and grass, increase troops and deploy defenses in preparation for the battle.
Second, go all the way back to Yingxian Yuan in Tongshun County, find Director Fang, and use your seal to order him to take all the newly made weapons, armor, crossbows, and shields out of the warehouse and load them into trucks, waiting for the imperial court's transportation troops to receive them.
Third, enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and report all the latest battle reports, battle situations, and possible next situations to Emperor Xuansi, and hope that Emperor Xuansi can mobilize the navy and troops for reinforcements.
Because the real life-and-death battle between the two regimes is about to begin this winter!
And it’s what we like to see the most... the enemy is attacking and we are defending!! And the other side is in short supply of food and grass!!!
As long as these cities can be defended, the northern regime will surely fall apart this winter!!!
Based on the foot power of the horses at the post station, the fifteenth senior brother should be able to reach Tongshun and Jingcheng in two or three days.
But with Senior Brother Lu Liang's straightforward character, he will definitely work day and night, and it will only go faster, so if he doesn't give more subsidies, his conscience will not be able to bear it...
It was already late at night.
This long day caused many officers to go to bed early.
But Wu Qidao was the first to come to the handsome tent. The circles under his eyes were still red and swollen. It seemed that he was destined to have no sleep that night...
"Marquis of Fuguo." Wu Qidao stepped forward and bowed.
"Wu Qianhu, please go first to the handsome tent. I'll chat with my senior brother for a while and then go in. I'll also wait for the other hundreds of households." Yan Bing's tone was very gentle. She knew that today would definitely be the most difficult day for Wu Qidao.
.
Wu Qidao stood up and nodded, silently walking towards the handsome tent.
"Oh! That's right!" Yan Bing suddenly stopped Wu Qidao, then turned around and said to him with a smile: "That group of Beizhen cavalry, not a single one was left behind, they were all wiped out... I can only help Zhou Zhihai's revenge.
I have paid half of it, and I will leave the opportunity to you for the remaining half."
Wu Qidao was stunned for two seconds when he heard this. Then he slowly raised his hands and bowed to the ground: "I'm my official... I'm so grateful! I swear to serve to the death!!"
"Go in, find a place to sit for a while, chat with a few hundred households, and adjust your mood. There are still a few battles waiting for us..." After Yan Bing finished speaking softly, Wu Qidao stood up and nodded, and immediately
He opened the curtain and entered the handsome tent.
"Hey! Lao Wu is here!! Mr. Qianhu, I'm going down! I've been promoted!! Haha!!!"
"This kid is stupid and stupid. He broke the military order and achieved meritorious service. Look at his stupidity, and he is so happy that his eyes are filled with tears!"
"Hey, Lao Wu, my condolences... We have all heard that that kid Zhou Zhihai... is young and promising. It's a pity, but we can still avenge him! These North Town barbarians! None of them escaped.
!!”
"Yes, Lao Wu, I'm tired of sitting here, standing and chatting... eh!? Why are you crying...!??"
There were constant conversations between several officers in the commander's tent. Some were laughing and some were crying, but they were all spoken freely, without any extra courtesy or taboo. Yan Bing liked this kind of "blood brothers in war" very much.
The atmosphere made me smile knowingly.
"Okay, senior brother, take a look and put it away quickly, junior sister, I promise you! After this battle, you won't even bother to look at the banknotes that are less than one thousand taels! Haha." Yan Bing said while laughing.
Gently pushed Fengchen into the handsome tent.
After several hundred households had arrived, Yan Bing began to distribute the deployment for the past few days.
Since this place has been completely emptied by the Beizhen people and all the border residents have been dragged to Shengjing, apart from the private houses for soldiers, there are still many empty houses in the city. Yan Bing assigned brothers from two battalions to demolish some of them.
In private houses, door panels, windows, etc. are directly made into chopped firewood to keep warm in the cold winter.
The hardwoods such as the beams and pillars were moved directly to Chequying and handed over to them to be whittled into crossbow arrows for emergencies.
The food for the prisoners of war, except for Tigel, was reduced to the minimum. As long as they could not die of hunger, they would starve to death.
This is not because of the shortage of food and grass. The military rations prepared by Yan Bing plus the rice shipped, plus the rations hoarded by Beizhen soldiers themselves, let alone the winter, will not be eaten until next winter.
The reason for doing this is because she needs to keep these two thousand hungry ghosts... who will be of great use in the future...
As for Baiziying, they were responsible for cleaning up the dead bodies in and outside the city. They piled them all up in a row two or three miles outside the city. There was no need to bury them. They left all the corpses in the wilderness. They also had to light a fire around the corpses. How could the living people keep themselves warm?
How can these corpses be kept warm for five days?
The soldiers responsible for lighting the fire must also cover their mouths and noses with a cloth. They are not allowed to take it off during the whole process. They must change clothes and take a shower after returning to the city. Anyone who violates the order will be subject to military law.
"Marquis of Fu Guo..., the subordinate is confused, what is the meaning of...bathing a dead body on the fire?" Wu Qianhu from Baiziying was really puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"Plague!!" Wu Qidao suddenly slapped the table and startled several other households.
Yan Bing showed a smile and said in a deep voice: "No wonder Old Wu can reach thousands of households. Who among you has realized it? Can you not accept it!?"
Hundreds of households felt ashamed and praised him repeatedly.
"The plague occurs at the winter solstice! It flourishes at the beginning of spring!" Yan Bing said slowly, his eyes became increasingly fierce. He turned to one of the hundreds of households and asked in a low voice: "If you are a citizen of Beizhen, are you willing to submit to the Liang Kingdom?
What?"
"Then, I...will definitely not be happy..."
"And you?"
"I..., I definitely can't do anything treason..."
After Yan Bing laughed, he told the last detail: "Then what if your family members are all infected with the plague! Their lives are at stake! And only the medicine from my country, Liang, can cure them!! How do you choose!?"
"I, I! I...,"
"this……,"
"It's hard to choose..."
Hundreds of households shook their heads.
"What I want is that it's not a good choice!! I put my words here!! As long as we can defend the city of Liaokou!! Force them to return to the city to reorganize!! Within next year! Beizhen Court will be overthrown!!
From now on, this land, and even thousands of miles further north! will all return to my side!" After saying that, Yan Bing slapped his palm on the border defense map!
All the officers quickly stood up and saluted to show their respect.
The reason why Li Bing dared to say this was because she knew that there were too many regime collapses and changes, which were nothing more than two things.
Natural disaster!! Man-made disaster!!
Natural disasters can't be counted on, but man-made disasters... I can give it to them!!!
After this battle is over, she only needs to prepare a large amount of allicin, and then wait for Beizhen to die of starvation and plague, and then she can wipe out the country without any effort...
Sometimes, if you don't be cruel..., simple things will only become more complicated.
And as long as you do the right thing, no matter how complicated things are, they will become very simple...
For the rest of the meeting time, the city walls were fortified, and extra logs and rocks were prepared, as well as oil-rolling iron ropes.
After the meeting, Yan Bing specially arranged for brothers from a battalion to rush to the place she designated overnight and transport the remains of the Zhoushan battalion back overnight. The next day, they chose a place with mountains and water outside the city.
, Buried with Scenery…….
Yan Bing didn't say a word of nonsense during the whole process, because she didn't want to make a show of these loyal and brave soldiers, she just wanted to make other brothers feel at ease, no matter where you are, whether you are dead or alive!!
