In the jungle, the leader of Tonggu Village knelt in front of the Nanzhao Goddess and said shyly: "Great daughter of the God of Heaven, your people are incompetent and failed to kill all the servants of the devil. Please punish me."
The goddess of Nanzhao's face tightened and she replied sternly: "Chief of Tonggu Village, I see that you have tried your best. The devil's servants are powerful. I can't blame you for this matter. I have sent people to mobilize the Niu Village and Barbarian Village.
The warriors of Hu Village, they will be able to arrive here in two days and join you to eliminate the devil's servants. It's just the leader of Tonggu Village, do you still have the courage to fight again?"
A look of determination flashed across the face of the leader of Tonggu Village: "The people of God are never afraid of death. Even if the blood of the warriors of Tonggu Village is shed here, the devil's servants must pay the price."
On the other side, Naniu Village and Manhu Village, who received the summons from the Goddess of Heaven, led by their respective leaders, gathered all the warriors from the clan and rushed towards the Nankang River.
------Dividing line------
The Sirius Army camp had just experienced a great battle, and most of the soldiers who had experienced life and death firsthand became silent, and the entire military camp was filled with a dull atmosphere.
Lin Ze inspected a circle of the camp. Only the veterans of one group could chat and laugh with each other. The recruits of other groups had just walked around on the edge of life and death. When they saw their familiar companions fell in front of them, they felt sad in their hearts.
The taste is extremely complicated, including sadness, joy, and depression.
Lin Ze frowned. This is not going to work. If this continues, soldiers will easily develop a war-weary mood. Once a soldier develops a war-weary mood, it basically means that the army is completely finished.
Then Lin Ze remembered some practices from his previous life, and while asking Qianyuan to prepare clay pots, white cloths and other items, he ordered the entire army to assemble at the school ground. In addition to seriously injured soldiers, those with minor injuries were also present.
The whole army gathered together, and there were gaps in the originally dense queue. Looking around, I found that many familiar faces were missing. I felt a little confused and didn't know what the military advisor was going to do.
When Lin Ze, wearing a white silk ribbon on his head and white clothes, stepped onto the general platform, the whole army suddenly became a little commotion.
Lin Ze turned a blind eye and issued the first military order: "The whole army listens to the order, changes clothes, and sends the dead brothers away."
Then Qianyuan led a group of civilians to distribute the white silk and white clothes to the Tianlang Army. The soldiers took them one by one and put them on, and the entire military camp became pure.
Lin Ze continued: "Today, 413 of our brothers unfortunately died in this wild land, but in the eyes of my military advisor, they are all real men of the Qin Dynasty, and they will not fall short of the majesty of our Sirius Army.
The example of our Sirius Army. Because of them, the Sirius Army was able to win this battle. Our military division is proud of them. The entire army listened to the order, stood at attention, performed a military salute, and respected them."
After hearing this, all the Sirius soldiers looked solemn. They stood up straight, raised their right hands and made a fist, first placed it next to their temples, then hit their chests hard, "dong dong dong" three times, and performed a military salute.
After Lin Ze had mobilized the atmosphere of the entire army, he ordered Qianyuan to bring out a row of clay pots.
Lin Ze said impassionedly: "Although our soldiers of the Sirius Army died in a foreign country, they cannot bury their bones here. Our military advisor will take them home to Chang'an. Therefore, our military advisor decided to bury the deceased soldiers here."
The remains were cremated, the ashes were collected and put into clay pots, marked with their military badges, and they were buried in a grand ceremony after returning to Chang'an one day."
"At the same time, I declare: This will be the first permanent military rule of my Sirius Army. No matter life or death, I will never leave any of my comrades behind."
All the soldiers were horrified and moved, and Lin Ze's image suddenly became glorious and huge.
Lin Ze ordered all the soldiers in the army to participate, help clean the bodies of their dead companions, put them into decent clothes, and finally turn them into ashes in the light of the fire. The last bits and pieces were put into clay pots and hung with military badges.
By the time this was done, many soldiers had regained some of their vitality. Although they were sad, they were not obsessed.
Next, Lin Ze dropped another bomb: "Very good, our Tianlang Army are all good men who understand loyalty. Naturally, my military advisor will not treat you badly. I have made an agreement with Mr. Hu Hai. Those who died in battle will not be treated badly."
Give his family twenty acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Chang'an in recognition of his merits."
The Sirius Army soldiers present were excited. Twenty acres of fertile farmland was truly a good thing that could benefit future generations.
Especially the fertile fields outside Chang'an City are rare. The eyes of other soldiers flickered, and they even felt a little envious of their dead comrades.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ze continued: "If we can win a big victory this time, the master promises to give out another thousand acres of fertile land to reward the soldiers with outstanding military achievements. Do you dare to fight again? Maybe fight again?"
I don't know who said the first sentence: "Fight, fight, fight." The voices of the whole army gathered together, and the sound shook the sky: "Fight."
Then Lin Ze spoke again: "In order to celebrate the first great victory of the Sirius Army, my military advisor announced: open up the good rice and eat it tonight, and there will be enough monster meat tubes."
"The military advisor is wise and the young master is mighty." In the cheers, Lin Ze ordered the entire army to disperse. He breathed a sigh of relief. Now the morale of the army should be stable. If it is not stable anymore, it will really be ruined.
Lin Ze summoned Hu Hai, Han Xin, Chen Ping and Ren Xiao to discuss the next war.
With a wry smile on his face, Hu Hai was the first to speak: "Lin Ze, you promised so much fertile land all at once, and you are going to empty out my family fortune. In the end, after this battle is over, I will suffer a big loss."
.”
Lin Ze shook his head: "Young Master, what you said is wrong. You don't have to pay taxes on your fields. Now they are managed by a group of slaves, and there may not be much harvest. It is better to give them to the soldiers of the Sirius Army to cultivate them."
We have gained a group of loyal subordinates, and the taxes collected will not be too small, so the losses are not as big as imagined."
Hu Hai was a little confused and asked uncertainly: "Really?"
Lin Ze didn't bother to explain to him that private contracting and part-time work would have different motivations and productivity. He just replied: "Sir, don't you still trust me?"
Finally, Hu Hai said with some doubts: "What if this war lasts for many years and there is no more land left?"
Lin Ze said with some resentment: "Young master doesn't have it, so does your majesty don't have it? Isn't this kind of upright reason enough for you to ask for it from your majesty?"
Hu Hai...
Putting this matter aside, Lin Ze asked: "Now that the war situation has changed, what do you think should happen next?"
Han Xin wondered: "Why would the military advisor feel that there has been a change in the war? It seems to the general that everything is going well. After the rest is completed, there will be no problem in destroying the village in one fell swoop."
It couldn't have been smoother for Han Xin. Not only did he win the first battle, but he also gathered enough military power through this battle to break through to the third level of martial arts.
Lin Ze patiently told the Nanzhao Goddess and the people of the Buddha Sect: "This place is originally a borderland of Nanzhao. Moreover, Nanzhao is a small country united by tribes. Although the tribes are of the same clan and obey the orders of the Nanzhao royal court, they are actually scattered across the country.
There is not much communication between the mountains."
"I originally chose to fight here. I just wanted to destroy one or two tribes, get enough military exploits, gain something, and then wait for your majesty to summon me back to Chang'an. I'm afraid I can't do that now."
"Besides, that little girl claims to be the daughter of the gods. How can she allow herself to fail at the hands of the Sirius Army? She will definitely mobilize more natives to attack us. By the way, General Ren, if the Zhengnan Camp sends troops, when will they arrive?
?”
Ren Xiao replied: "As far as I know, it will probably be three days at the earliest."
Lin Ze did not ask in detail why the journey of more than 300 miles took so long. Instead, he thought about the situation a little worse and what to do if the southern army failed to arrive within three days.
Lin Ze would never place all his hopes on others. This was a habit he developed after experiencing someone in his previous life promise to lend money to his family to tide over difficulties, and then denying it.
Lin Ze suddenly asked Han Xin: "Can you hurry up in a military formation?"
Han Xin nodded: "The last general knows this kind of military formation."
Lin Ze nodded: "Well, let the scout battalion pay close attention to the movements in the jungle. Once the enemy force becomes stronger, the Sirius army will immediately withdraw eastward to avoid the edge. You go and prepare first."
Han Xin couldn't help but say: "Fleeing in a hurry, if the enemy pursues you one after another, it will be harmful to the army. Please think twice, military advisor."
Lin Ze said with a smile: "I have two strategies. It's fine if they don't chase me. If I chase them, they will regret it. Come here and I will explain it to you carefully. You can prepare accordingly."
After finishing speaking, Han Xin nodded excitedly: "I admire the good strategy of the military advisor. I will go down and prepare now."
Lin Ze then said to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, you go too, make sure everything is well prepared."
Chen Ping also retreated as instructed, and then Hu Hai and Ren Xiao also went back respectively.
Lin Ze was left looking into the distance, slowly falling into deep thought.
