C156

From the bottom of his heart, he felt both joy and worry for Yang Lin. He was overjoyed that such a great general, who could fight well, was standing by his side. Worried that Yang Lin still had his life in his grasp, that he could take's life at any time.

"Your Majesty, aside from killing Zhang Jiao, only ten thousand people were killed in the Guangzong's battle. It would be better to wait until all of them are wiped out of xanthopanax, then we can settle the matter in order to reward them. "

Liu Hong did not have much of an opinion from the start, and it was only because of Zhang Yang, who was in charge of the business, now that he heard Zhang Po say that, he felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed. With regards to xanthopanax, who no longer had Zhang Jiao, Liu Hong no longer put him in his eyes.

"Pass down the decree that Huangfu Song will eliminate the remnants of the xanthopanax within a month."

"Understood."

Zhang Rong bowed and retreated, his face revealing a trace of an imperceptible sneer. Walking out of the Righteous Hall's gate, he immediately called for decathlon Song Dian and the two of them hid in the side hall for a long time. An hour later, Zhang Jean and Song Dian left the side hall one after the other.

Guangzong's snow continued to fall. In the area with the thickest snow, there were already snow that was as deep as half a person. However, the snow had no intention of stopping. The bone-piercing cold wind howled and raged in the Jizhou, and snowflakes danced in the air.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Amidst the heavy snow, Song Dian arrived outside the Guangzong City. Following the voice that sounded like a duckling voice, Huangfu Song and the generals had no choice but to take a few steps forward and kneel on the ground, as they listened to the Chinese traditional medicine eunuch, Song Dian, read out the emperor's decree.

After hearing the imperial edict that Song Dian had read out, Huangfu Song and the other generals understood. This was the emperor's order for the Imperial army to quickly march into the Guangzong and completely eliminate the remnants of the xanthopanax. Although the emperor had praised the officials and generals in the imperial edict, there was no substantial reward. This meant that the emperor was not very satisfied with the Imperial army.

"General director Song, the food in the military is vulgar. I invite eunuch to bow here and dine in the camp to express our thoughts."

Although he hated these eunuchs, Huangfu Song still forced a smile on his face and enthusiastically invited Song Dian to the camp to eat. After all, these eunuchs still controlled their fate. As long as these eunuchs did not fall, none of them could escape from the clutches of these eunuchs.

"I won't disturb you guys at home, let's go to the cavalry of Youzhou's camp. I heard that the cavalry of Youzhou is invincible and invincible, and that our family would like to meet these warriors who have won hundreds of battles. "

But Song Dian did not accept Huangfu Song's favor, he insisted on going to the cavalry of Youzhou's camp. This caused Huangfu Song to feel very uncomfortable, his face also became extremely ugly, he thought that Yang Lin must have colluded with some of the eunuchs, and in his heart, he was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Lin.

"Since General Manager Song is going to the cavalry of Youzhou's camp, then we won't keep you company."

On the ground of the cavalry of Youzhou, Yang Lin was currently accompanying the eunuch, Song Dian, as he watched the practice of the Youzhou's soldiers. Although the snow on the ground was very thick, it did not affect the cavalry's training. The war horses could similarly rampage in the snow, giving off the desolate feeling of a cavalry soldier from the snowy plains.

Yang Lin did not have any good feelings towards these eunuchs, but as a modern man, he knew the principle of public relations. Now, since he still had a request for these eunuchs, he had to serve them well. Along the way, Yang Lin accompanied and smiled, coaxing the big eunuch to be happy.

"Lord General, although Youzhou is a country bumpkin, she is still a powerful master."

Looking at the cavalrymen galloping and shouting in unison in the snow, Song Dian could not help but feel his blood boiling. The Darkhan Empire also had powerful cavalry. They swept across the Northern Desert and drove out the Huns, making the Darkhan Empire very prosperous. However, with the gradual weakening of the national power, the powerful cavalry also vanished into thin air.

"Director Song is too kind. Farmers and hunters, not worthy of such praise. I ask Director Song to give me some pointers. "

Yang Lin said humbly. Song Dian was one of the famous decathlon. Not only were they rewarded, their families and fathers were also sent to the various State County as officials. They controlled the imperial government and were extremely wealthy. As eunuchs were in power, the imperial government was decadent and dark, corrupt officials were everywhere, and land annexation was very serious. The commoners could no longer endure the exploitation and oppression, and they all embarked on the path of resistance.

This time, Song Dian was here because he had received a request from Zhang Qian. He wanted to personally talk to Yang Lin and let him become a member of their faction. The current military power of the imperial government was basically in the hands of the Grand General Ho Jin. Once He Jin launched an attack, these eunuchs really could not contend against him.

"Lord General, seeing that xanthopanax is about to be annihilated, I wonder what Lord General is planning?"

From the moment Song Dian took the initiative to come to the Youzhou's camp, Yang Lin knew that Song Dian had been assigned to join their camp. Since they wanted to recruit Yang Lin into their camp, they were not very confident in him, so they would definitely bargain with him and find a satisfactory result.

"I hope that the Head Supervisor can point out a path."

"You don't want to go back hunting, do you?"

Song Dian started a joke. He did not want to reveal his true starting price, but wanted to test Yang Lin's waters. Similarly, Yang Lin would not make any requests, either. He wanted to see how much power these Eunuch s had, and how much of a benefit they could give him.

"Hunting is also very good, traveling between mountains and rivers, eating mountain delicacies and wearing beast skin and feathered clothing, just how carefree and carefree!"

Seeing Yang Lin laughing happily, Song Dian knew that Yang Lin would not take the initiative to speak. It seemed like the Grand Manager was not wrong, this Yang Lin was indeed not a simple person, before seeing the benefits, he would not take the initiative to rely on others, and spoke straightforwardly.

"Lord General, have you thought about it? You took in all kinds of captives from the yellow cloth army captive, from Guang Yang, Qingzhou, Ying Chuan, Lunan, Nanyang and so on, and the current number has reached eight hundred thousand. In addition, you requested seventy thousand State County soldiers from the s, such as the commandos, Qingzhou and. I wonder what does Master Yang Lin need so many people to prepare for? "

Yang Lin was shocked, he did not expect these Eunuch s to not be weak either, they truly knew his background. If he did not rely on them, and only took care of these captives and county soldiers to explain the situation, they would give him a lot of crimes.

"Director Song, it's not that I want to take the yellow cloth army captive in, it's just not easy to deal with these captives. If he let them go, wouldn't he be bringing disaster upon the village? If the remnants of the xanthopanax s recruited them again, they would once again head towards the battlefield. Did he have to kill them all? That would be hurting the peace between heaven and earth. I had no choice but to do so, and have even acted with the Emperor before, I hope that Director Song would understand. "

"I will definitely speak up for you. However, those ministers of the imperial court will use this as an excuse. However, no one would bring this up. With so many captives you have, many people in the imperial court would feel uneasy. Do you understand? "

He did not know if it was true or false, but Song Dian sounded like he was really worried for Yang Lin. Although these captives were currently in Youzhou's territory, they were still in Yang Lin's grasp. Once Yang Lin armed them, they would become a terrifying army.

"Please give me your guidance, Director Song."

Yang Lin said anxiously, looking very nervous. But Yang Lin was not the least bit nervous, even if he wanted to let all of you know about this alliance, no matter if it's the Minister of the Court or you eunuchs, no one can have any ideas on me.

"Director Zhang asked me to pass on a message to you, telling you to be careful and not let anyone else have any leads. Although your battle achievements are extraordinary, you cannot be proud of your achievements. "

"Hehe, I don't seem to be proud of my achievements."

"No is best. Director Zhang wanted me to ask you, after exterminating the yellow scarf, do you want to become an official in the imperial government, or do you want to become an official in State County? "

"I don't understand imperial etiquette. I think it's better for me to be an official here."

"Alright, I will tell Director Zhang your thoughts. But how does Lord General plan to repay Director Zhang? "

"But according to Director Zhang's orders."

"Although the cavalry of Youzhou is strong, the distance between the Youzhou and 1800 Li is simply too far. Even if Director Zhang needs Lord General, I'm afraid that it will not be able to reach him. "

"Director Song's words are wrong. As long as there is a strong cavalry of Youzhou in the Youzhou, it would shock the people of the Great Desert to the outside world, and deter those with ulterior motives. The clan has a treasured blade, and although one does not kill, one can still intimidate the weak. "

"Hehe, Lord General's words are reasonable."

The heavy snowflakes danced in the sky for three days in a row. In the vicinity of Guangzong County City, other than a few exorcism s in the imperial government, there were almost no one walking about in the snow. The commoners around the city had all left long ago. xanthopanax hid within the army camp and did not dare to come out. The imperial army was also in the army camp, trying to avoid the snow. The entire Guangzong was deathly silent.

As for Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and the soldiers under them, they were extremely nervous. In the past few days, they basically did not take off their clothes to sleep, they just lied on the side of the bed and didn't dare to rest peacefully. Perhaps at some point, the imperial army would send a group of ambushers over, and sometimes they would even wake up in the middle of a dream.

It was snowing heavily outside, with no one able to see them from dozens of steps away. According to the military records, this was a good time to attack from a sneak attack, and Huangfu Song who was familiar with military strategy would definitely attack from a sneak attack, but who knows when the Imperial army would arrive?

Zhang Liang was leading a few generals to check out the situation in the camp outside the city. Due to the heavy snowstorm, the few of them used towels to cover their heads and faces, revealing only their eyes. They had no choice but to block the fierce wind with their hands. Even the horses that they rode were limping along with one foot high and one foot low. At this time, Jiang Zhen walked over and said to Zhang Liang.

"Human Generals, go rest in the tent. The snow is really too heavy."

"Have all the sentries been sent out?"

"Human Generals, don't worry. Not only have the Wandering Sentinel been dispatched, I have also sent a lot of fixed sentries."

"Is there any movement from Imperial army?"

"Every day, there will still be those exorcism wandering around, there aren't any new movements."

"Well, then, come and sit in the tent."

Zhang Liang jumped off the horse and followed Jiang Zhen into the tent. Despite their heavy clothing, they could not resist the cold. They walked into the tent and ordered the soldiers to start a fire. After the fire started, everyone finally felt a trace of warmth. Zhang Liang said to Jiang Zhen:

"Tomorrow, General Tianguang will be buried. Tonight, all of you must be extra careful."

"Human Generals, soldiers have been on guard day and night. Their bodies are in uniform and their sabers are in their hands. This morning, the official on duty reported that nearly 20% of the soldiers had frostbite on their hands and feet. If we go to war now, we will lose 20% of our troops before the war begins. If this goes on for a few more days, I'm afraid we won't have to fight ourselves to the end. "
