Yesterday, as soon as they proposed an increase in military pay, Yi Hongfei told them that they could increase military pay, but the Red Moon Army could only retain 5,000 people.
If only 5,000 people were left, how many soldiers would these generals have left? Even these generals would have no place in the army.
"Impossible!" Someone with a bad temper had already slapped the table to object.
Yi Hongfei let them bang the table and convinced them with three things.
The first is to give high resettlement fees to laid-off soldiers, and Wen Yunxi is responsible for these expenses.
The second is to increase the military pay for the remaining elite soldiers to 1,000 yuan, and it is not a fixed amount, and it will be increased again in the future depending on the situation.
The third is to let some generals enter the Xuanfu Division to replace Sang Fu's cronies.
Yihe was appointed to take over Qi Xin's position on the spot. As for whether Qi Xin would object, since a dead man can't speak anymore, he just assumed he was happy to do so.
In fact, in addition to Qixin's official position, Wen Yunxi also made some promises to Yihe, which made Yihe very satisfied.
"What are you going to do with the resettlement fees?" Yihe made a rough calculation. The Red Moon Army alone is a big number. There are many clans with more than 10,000 people in the entire Lanzhou army. They will be laid off one by one. Wen Yunxi will follow Where can I find that much money?
Yi Hongfei shook his head, "I don't know either, but Master always has a way."
Is there any way Wen Yunxi can raise enough money? She does have it. It's actually very simple. If she distributes Sang Fu's property, there might be something left.
"Doctor Wen, what are you laughing at?"
Shi Yan was walking beside Wen Yunxi and was a little curious when he heard her laughter.
"I just remembered what a certain emperor said. He said that corrupt officials were his treasury. It's actually quite interesting to think about."
Shi Yan: "???"
Why didn't he understand...
"Elder Shi, do you understand?"
Elder Shi shook his head, "Forget it if you don't understand. We just need to do what she said."
Shi Yan nodded, but secretly thought in his heart, is Wen Yunxi really a perfect plan?
Of course not, at least in Xuan Lin's eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are ready."
Xuan Lin waved his hand, "Go ahead and search carefully."
Manager Liu tried to persuade him for a whole day but to no avail, so he stopped trying. He waited to see Xuan Lin regret it.
After they left Heisonglin, they hurried back, and sent out many guards halfway to make arrangements. By the time they arrived, the news of Sangfu's defeat had not yet spread, and Xuanlin had already gathered two thousand people. Get ready to take action.
The operation was unexpectedly smooth. Blackstone City did not have a solid gate. The people who defended the city before ran away with the crowd. Even if they were replenished, their mentality was very casual. Xuan Lin brought all elite soldiers, and none of them met. When there was any resistance, the city gate was breached. There were thousands of people left in the Sang Mansion, but they were no match for the two thousand elite soldiers and were quickly captured.
The action was so fast that Sang Ao and others who surrounded Pingxi Dam did not get the news until Xuan Lin checked the account books.
"Take four thousand people and give them to me. I'm going to chop off Xuan Lin's head!"
Sang Ao had always looked down on Xuan Lin, but now that Xuan Lin had taken over the Sang Mansion, he was so angry that he was trembling all over and wanted to immediately cut off Xuan Lin's head and play it as a ball.
"Third Prince, calm down, maybe it's a trap..." Xi Xiao was angry when he heard the news at first, but he quickly calmed down. Xuan Lin always acted cautiously, things couldn't be that simple, there might be fraud.
"Go away! Trash!" Sang Ao shook off Xi Xiao. If it weren't for this man's incompetence, how could they not have been able to capture Pingxi Dam for so long. Now even Sang Mansion has been occupied by Xuan Lin, and this man told him to calm down, no? What is waste? !
Xi Xiao: "..."
Forget it, respect his fate. He really tried his best to help such a idiot. There was nothing he could do if he couldn't help him. He shouldn't have refused the Yi family's wooing in the first place. None of the children like Sang Fu had the strength. After Sang Fu died, they would not be reliable at all.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw his own detective running over in a hurry. Xixiao's heart suddenly jumped and he immediately asked, "What's going on with the clan leader?"
The detective shouted: "The patriarch is dead! We are defeated!"
Xi Xiao's legs went weak. If he hadn't been supported by his subordinates, he could have collapsed directly to the ground. "How could it be possible? The clan leader has at least 100,000 soldiers. How could it be possible... Are you lying to me?!"
The long sword was unsheathed and placed directly on Xin Tan's shoulder, "Hurry up and tell the truth!"
"I...I didn't lie. The clan leader is really dead. He was killed by General Tianwei."
With a bang, Xi Xiao fell directly to the ground, "General Tianwei... hahaha... General Tianwei is back... retribution, this is retribution!"
Thinking of this, Xixiao Yigulu got up from the ground, raised his knife and rushed out, "Quick, catch Sang Ao!"
He had seen the tragic situation of Hong Dong. Now that Hong Dong could suddenly appear and kill Sang Fu in public, it is impossible that he is still missing arms and legs. It is not difficult to speculate that Hong Dong has formed an alliance with Wen Yunxi, and Wen Yunxi was deliberately killed. The purpose of surrounding Hei Songlin was to allow Hong Dong to succeed.
Compared to the evil Sang Fu and the trash from the Sang family, Hong Dong was simply a gift from heaven.
In order to show his sincerity, he had to offer Sang Ao. Even if he couldn't catch anyone alive, it would be fine to offer a head. It was a pity that Xuan Lin took a step ahead of him. Otherwise, his sincerity would be even worse if he captured Sang Fu's children. Big.
Xi Xiao had good intentions, but it was a pity that Sang Ao got the news before him and escaped early with dozens of guards, and no one could be found anywhere.
"General, what should we do next?"
Xi Xiao sighed, it was a pity that he didn't seize the great opportunity.
Looking back on these days, it can be said that he has accomplished nothing. So what if he surrounded Pingxi Dam. He couldn't conquer it at all. He sacrificed a lot on his side, but the other party could still drink tea and eat snacks on the wall. Thinking about it this way, Sang Ao Calling him a waste is not an insult.
Wait, although Sang Ao was not caught, they can still surrender and withdraw their troops.
"Come on, follow me to the wall."
……
Zhang Ling squinted his eyes and looked at the east wall of Pingxi Dam for a while, "Look to see if there is anyone under the torch, or maybe it's just straw again?"
"Hmm... It seems to be a real person, but he is not wearing armor."
Are these people stupid? After besieging them for so long, do they still naively think that they have no one to guard the wall at night? You don't even wear armor, do you want to be hit in two by a crossbow?
"Zhang Bu, they stopped."
Zhang Ling nodded. If they took another ten steps forward, he would order the arrow to be released. It seemed that they were not that stupid yet.
Of course Xi Xiao was not stupid. He was quite good at playing. He asked people to shout and then used torches to spell out four words.
"What are they shouting? My ears don't seem to work."
"I may have misunderstood."
"Do you think they are really possessed by ghosts?" Zhang Ling asked the subordinate next to him.
"You are too stupid!" The voice was cold, and every word was like a knife, making Zhang Ling tremble all over.
"Stay here, I'll go over and take a look." Zhuo Yun turned over and jumped off the wall. Before disappearing, he didn't forget to add, "Practice all more tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
