Hu Hai was no better than Fu Su. He had the tacit support of many masters and directly gave him an elite army. The Tianlang Army had also spent a lot of effort to train a fairly good army. Naturally, it couldn't just be abandoned.
When Hu Hai returned to Chang'an this time, Lin Ze would definitely take him with him. The fate of the Sirius Army was the biggest problem at the moment. After discussing it with Lin Ze, they decided to let Han Xin and Chen Ping take the lead and lead the Sirius Army in a slow march.
, meet at Chang'an.
Before leaving, Chen Ping said: "Sir, uncle, our guest army has been in southern Xinjiang for more than two years. Even if we are leaving now, we should say hello to the southern army out of emotion and reason."
Hu Hai said angrily: "That pretty face Yu Xuanji is causing trouble for me, why are you talking to him?"
Lin Ze suddenly remembered something and said to Hu Hai: "Sir, what Chen Ping said makes sense. We shouldn't leave without saying hello."
Hu Hai said reluctantly: "Lin Ze, you have to go, I won't go."
Lin Ze shook his head: "Master, listen to me, what happened last time is not over yet."
Hu Hai said doubtfully: "Why, you want to find a theory with that pretty boy Yu Xuanji? Didn't you say there's nothing you can do against him?"
Last time Yu Xuanji set a trap on the Tianlang Army, he ended up suffering a small loss, and they have not been in contact with each other these days.
However, both parties had a tacit understanding and did not mention the previous Nanzhao attack on the defense line. This matter was not brought to the table, and Lin Ze had no clue about Yu Xuanji, so there was no way to pursue it.
Although Hu Hai was ashamed and annoyed, he was actually a little gloating about this incident. He felt that Yu Xuanji had brought it upon himself and deserved it.
Now that I saw Lin Ze mentioning this matter again, I couldn't help but understand.
I saw Lin Ze ordering to the entire army: The Zhengnan Army and the Tianlang Army are brothers who live and die together. Today I learned that the Zhengnan Army was unfortunately attacked by Nanzhao, causing countless casualties. Today, the Wolf Army will treat the entire army as a defense force.
Expressing deep condolences to the brothers who died in the Southern Conquest Army.
Hu Hai was puzzled: "Lin Ze, why did you give this order? Are you disgusted with that Yu Xuanji?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "There's no point in disgusting him. He's just showing love for his comrades. Before I leave, I want to take the Sirius Army to Zhengnan Camp to express my condolences."
Hu Hai sneered: "Lin Ze, you definitely have no good intentions. Please tell me, why?"
Lin Ze said quietly: "I heard that Yu Xuanji is preparing to reward the meritorious soldiers in this battle recently. I just wonder if we go to express our condolences. Will it make the atmosphere more intense?"
Hu Hai... then started to gloat over his misfortune, Yu Xuanji, Yu Xuanji, let you offend me, let's see how you will step down when the time comes.
If he had not received the Qin Emperor's order, Lin Ze would not have done this and completely broke up with Yu Xuanji, which would not be of any benefit to the Tianlang Army. Anyway, he might have conquered the Southern Army and the Tianlang Army under Yu Xuanji's deliberate propaganda.
There will be a gap in between. Now that the Wolf Army will return to Chang'an today, Lin Ze plans to say this before talking.
As for offending Yu Xuanji? Lin Ze wasn't worried at all. Like Yu Xuanji, he was probably already following Fusu with all his heart, and no matter how he tried to please him, it would be of no use.
In the Zhengnan Camp, Yu Xuanji took advantage of these few days to ask the military recorder to tally up the military achievements of the previous few days of the battle, and summoned the entire army to start judging the merits and awarding them. This was also a direct manifestation of the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, which meant timely rewards for meritorious service.
It is also a small tradition of the Qin Army for the general to read out the merits of meritorious men in public, which represents the general's fair and open attitude. If a soldier encounters injustice, he can raise it to the general in public at this time.
The Daqin Law protects the interests of all soldiers in this regard.
After Yu Xuanji had just promoted and rewarded several of the bravest soldiers in public, a soldier suddenly reported that Mr. Hu Hai and his men were waiting outside the camp to open the gate.
Yu Xuanji had some doubts in his heart, why did Hu Hai come here? It was also the time when he was discussing meritorious service and giving rewards, and such a sacred thing could not be interrupted at will, so he said to the messenger soldier:
"When you go to invite Mr. Hu Hai to the camp, tell him that I have important matters at hand and it is not convenient to go and greet him."
The messenger soldier took the order and left. Yu Xuanji suddenly had an ominous premonition, but he couldn't think of anything bad, so he had to calm down, take the merit book, and continue to discuss merits and reward them.
Just in the middle of the sentence, Hu Hai, wearing a white robe, walked into the school grounds with countless Silhouette troops covered in plain clothes. Nearly 50,000 pairs of eyes were staring at them with fire in their eyes. How could such a sacred ceremony be desecrated so easily?
Just listen to Hu Hai shouting loudly: "My condolences to General Yu, those soldiers are all good men of our Great Qin. They are worthy of the empire, and the empire must be worthy of them."
Yu Xuanji's face immediately darkened: "Master Hu Hai, I wonder what you mean?"
Hu Hai pretended to be dumbfounded and said: "Ah, aren't you gathered here to mourn the dead soldiers? I specially brought the Sirius Army here to express my condolences."
Yu Xuanji's expression was very ugly, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Today, Japan will discuss merits and rewards. Sir, you are too disrespectful to my soldiers who conquered the Southern Army."
After saying this, the officers and soldiers of the Conquest South Army on the spot became commotion, and discordant voices began to emerge, almost all of which were directed at Hu Hai. If it weren't for Hu Hai's noble status, they would have already rushed forward.
Hu Hai didn't care about this and shouted: "General Yu, you are wrong. The living soldiers who have made meritorious service are important, but it stands to reason that the pension issue of the dead soldiers should be dealt with first. Is it possible that those soldiers died for the Qin Dynasty? As a
General, shouldn’t I express my gratitude?”
Speaking of this, the discordant voices in the army suddenly disappeared a lot, and I suddenly felt that Mr. Hu Hai was right. Shouldn't the dead brothers be taken care of?
Hu Hai saw that Yu Xuanji was silent and continued: "Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Our Da Qin soldiers are all risking their lives to gain a wife and a wife. Of course, General Yu has to consider what happens behind the soldiers. As the saying goes, a general will inevitably be in front of the battle."
No one can guarantee that he will be victorious in every battle, and the general must ensure that the soldiers have no worries."
At this time, the discordant voices of the conquering southern army completely disappeared. One of the soldiers, who had just killed five enemies and had been promoted to a rank, said: "What Mr. Hu Hai said makes sense. Those of us who are alive should also consider the dead."
Brother, please let the general think deeply."
Other soldiers also took it for granted and said one after another: "General, please think deeply."
Yu Xuanji's face was completely livid. Da Qin had a corresponding pension system, but compared to the living people, it was actually very low. For border troops like the Zhengnan Army, which had a high casualty ratio, it was even lower. No one usually mentioned it.
That's all, everyone just turned a blind eye. Now that Hu Hai raised it in public, he put Yu Xuanji on the fire.
What do you want him to say now? Not to say anything? The officers and soldiers of the Conquering South Army must have something in mind. They even hide their pensions. Is it possible that they don’t?
Tell the truth? The pension is so low, how can you ask everyone to work hard?
Are you telling the truth? Who doesn't have a fellow soldier, a relative or a friend in the army? Some information cannot withstand prying eyes. If Yu Xuanji dares to make a false report, a soldier will immediately accuse him of corruption.
In the end, Yu Xuanji's cheek twitched and he could only say to himself: "General Mo didn't think carefully and didn't handle the matter properly at the first time. However, General Mo immediately reported the matter to the Marquis, who finally reported it to His Majesty.
Break."
Hu Hai then said in an "innocuous" manner: "Actually, Da Qin has a corresponding pension system. General Yu can refer to it."
Yu Xuanji suppressed his anger and said, "Thank you very much, Sir, for your concern. I will definitely be generous in return." There was already a threat in his words. Don't force me, otherwise everyone will not be able to live well.
Hu Hai replied without fear: "That's a pity. I will return to Chang'an soon and will have no chance to accept General Yu's kindness." The extra meaning was also obvious. Who are you trying to scare? Everyone said goodbye immediately.
Yu Xuanji's face was completely dark. So that's the case. No wonder he came to the door today. Is this revenge?
Hu Hai was indescribably happy at this moment.
However, a figure wearing a marquis uniform descended from the sky: "I will handle the pension issue on my own. I thank you for your concern." The person who spoke was none other than Longchuan Marquis Zhao Tuo.
Yu Xuanji immediately looked excited and tried to move forward.
Hu Hai's expression changed and he snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Ze stopped him and said, "Sir, it's time for us to set off. Let's talk about it someday."
Hu Hai took a deep look at Zhao Tuo, then turned and left.
