After the Sirius Army finished cleaning the battlefield, Chen Ping briefly wrote a casualty statistics report: four people died and one hundred and thirty-four were injured.
After Lin Ze got it, his expression was strange: "It's quite simple."
The four who unfortunately died were all killed by Dong Huan's zhenqi explosion. Without forming a special military formation, a battalion of five hundred ordinary soldiers would not be able to retain a fourth-grade soldier.
Fortunately, Qingfeng took action in time and killed Dong Huan as soon as he took action, otherwise the casualties would have increased a lot.
Lin Ze suddenly thought of something, and patted his head in annoyance: "If I had known, I would have left a few people alive. I don't know where the property the bandits robbed was hidden. Don't fight so hard to win this battle."
It’s still a loss.”
Hu Hai gloated on the sidelines and said, "I didn't expect you to have a miscalculation one day, Lin Ze?"
Lin Ze rolled his eyes: "You must know that you are the commander-in-chief. I originally wanted to use the bandits' property to reward the soldiers. It is taboo to not know the rewards and punishments during war. You can find a way to find a way to reward the soldiers yourself." He said.
When finished, turn around and leave.
Hu Hai...immediately caught up with Lin Ze and said sincerely: "Lin Ze, don't leave. Let's think of a solution together."
Lin Ze then stopped and asked people to find Liu Mengchan and Duanhunshang: "I order you two to lead the scout camp to search for the treasure hidden in the village. If you find it, you will be credited with one more merit. If you don't find it, you will be deducted from the battle."
Offsets don’t count.”
Liu Mengchan, Soul-Ending Sorrow...
Fortunately, the two of them were still on track and found three treasure hiding places. The total value of various gold and copper treasures was nearly 60,000 gold. Lin Ze used part of the treasure as a pension for the soldiers who died in battle and sent it directly through the official post.
Went back.
The remaining rewards were based on merit, and most of the gold and bronze were distributed to the scout battalion and the first and second teams participating in the battle. Additional calculations were made for military merit.
Although the other teams were considered to be participating in the war, they did not participate in the actual fighting. They were just treated to a meal of wine and meat. The entire army had no objection to this, so it seemed fair. Otherwise, who would go up to fight in the future, everyone would be waiting to share.
The results are achieved.
------Dividing line------
After returning to the camp outside Nanyang City, Lin Ze called Hu Hai and Chen Ping to his tent, and said to Hu Hai seriously: "I will leave the Sirius Army for a while. Young Master, when you lead the Sirius Army south, remember to
Don't travel too fast on the road, make full use of the marching time and train the army."
Hu Hai didn't listen to Lin Ze's words at all, but said anxiously: "Lin Ze, where are you going? Are you going to abandon me just like that? The Sirius Army still needs you to lead it.
Besides, I don’t know how to fight..."
Lin Ze stopped Hu Hai's words and said, "Sir, don't be anxious. I will explain everything to you one by one."
"I'm going to Huaiyin to find someone for you, someone who can help you conquer the world."
Hu Hai was full of disbelief: "Who is this person? Lin Ze, please don't lie to me, even a master would not dare to say that he can help me win the world."
Lin Ze shook his head and smiled: "You will naturally know after I find him. And no matter whether I can find him or not this time, I will go south to join you, so you must not march too fast, even if I come back late
, you arrived in Baiyue first, and try not to go to the battlefield before I come back."
"As for the Sirius Army, after I leave, Chen Ping will take over the position of our military advisor and plan for the entire army."
Although Chen Ping was a little shocked, he said humbly: "My uncle is ten times more talented than me. How can my nephew He De take my place?"
Lin Ze...don't pretend too much, be careful not to fall down the stairs and kill you.
But he said to Chen Ping sternly: "With your talent, I just asked you to do some chores before, which is a bit condescending to you."
"For now, Uncle Master can only give you so much, but Uncle Master believes that as long as you try your best to plan for the Young Master, when the Young Master ascends to the throne, the future position will definitely be yours."
"Young Master has a pure nature, but he has not yet matured. After I leave, you will have to worry about all the affairs of the Sirius Army."
When Chen Ping saw Lin Ze's sincere face, he felt sad in his heart. I am lucky to have a confidant in this world. He saluted and said, "My nephew will do his best to complete what my uncle has ordered."
Lin Ze smiled and nodded, and then said to Jiang Yuesheng and Jiang Yuesheng: "Chen Ping is also a Taoist disciple. Now that I have entered Fang Xiandao, I will be protected by four elders. From today on, you two will protect Chen Ping personally."
Jiang Yuesheng said with a look of embarrassment: "But the Supreme Elder ordered us to follow you all the way and listen to your orders. We are not allowed to follow others."
Lin Ze's smile faded and he said calmly: "I don't care what the Supreme Elder in the Dao Palace has planned. I think since you said you will listen to me, then I ask you to protect Chen Ping. You'd better do it, otherwise you
You two can go back to Dao Palace on your own, there is no need to be by my side."
At the same time, Qingfeng muttered: "Why are you carrying two little babies? They are unreliable. Let's go back to the mountain as soon as possible."
Jiang Yuesheng's expression changed, and when he was about to say more, Di Xue Ruyan stopped him, saluted Lin Ze and said, "I obey the great sage's instructions." After saying that, he moved behind Chen Ping to express his attitude.
Lin Ze looked at Jiang Yuesheng coldly, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Yuesheng had no choice but to stand silently behind Chen Ping.
At this time, Lin Zecai said to Hu Hai: "There may be many changes in this southern expedition. Master, please remember that no matter what, the priority is to save your life. After I leave, please ensure the lives of you and Chen Ping. As for the Sirius Army,
It doesn’t matter even if they all die.”
Hu Hai nodded. He had long been accustomed to Lin Ze's mentality. Chen Ping, on the other hand, looked at the young uncle in surprise again. He sighed at Lin Ze's coldness and was moved at the same time.
After the three of them reached a consensus, Lin Ze summoned the main generals of the Sirius Army to discuss matters in the camp.
First, Lin Ze briefly evaluated the performance of the Sirius Army this time, such as some mistakes and advantages of the Scout Battalion and other battalions.
Then Lin Ze said formally: "My military advisor has other important things to do next. The position of military advisor will be temporarily taken by Chen Ping."
The generals were in an uproar, and their expressions showed dissatisfaction with Chen Ping's wishes.
Lin Ze didn't care so much, and said to Chen Ping in front of the generals: "I have always run the army strictly, with clear rewards and punishments. I hope you will not be merciful. However, if you violate military discipline, you can order the law enforcement team to enforce military law."
Chen Ping knew that Lin Ze was endorsing him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress this group of arrogant soldiers, so he promised: "The military regulations set by the military advisor will be implemented accordingly. Please leave with peace of mind."
Lin Ze nodded, no longer being pretentious, and directly led the four elders of Fang Xiandao on horseback out of the camp and headed east.
