"The army is defeated!"

When the news reached the capital, the people didn't feel it, after all, the warlord melee today he won and tomorrow he lost, and they had nothing to do with it, they all had to hand over the imperial grain to Guorui, but this surprised Liu Meiling, and quickly sent a probe to find out the next news.

Because she was really worried that after the other party defeated the Cheng army, he would directly occupy the Cheng Mansion, and then he would not leave, so that the other party would not only have territory, but also throw her into an endless whirlpool.

After all, the other party is her bait for Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Dashuai, if this bait does not pass on time, then Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Dashuai may finally clean up the other party, but before that, the other party must be the first to clean up.

However, when she finally received that Yu Zhengdao only sold Cheng Qian and his subordinates some ordnance and the ocean, Liu Meiling breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time a strange thought rose in her heart, could the other party not see the benefits of occupying Chengfu, or did the other party disdain to occupy it at all.

Thinking of disdain, Liu Meiling was shocked, after all, she had so many troops in her hands, and she must have something to rely on if she didn't want to get a piece of territory for herself.

"He thinks he has a place!"

"Metropolis!"

Hai Dafu's words made Liu Meiling grit her teeth involuntarily, because only such an explanation can be explained, why would the other party not care about Chengfu, because he felt that the capital was his, and he still needed to go to Zhang Dashuai where to get the legitimacy of his name, so of course he wouldn't care about Chengfu.

"Damn it!"

Liu Meiling gritted her teeth, and then spoke loudly, "Recruit troops, recruit a large number of troops, and help me contact the merchants of the city that never sleeps, I want ordnance, a large number of ordnance!"

"Dashuai, then our ocean won't be enough!"

"Then raise taxes!"

"Then raise taxes!"

After executing the adjutant who fled with him on his back, Cheng Qian made up his mind to expand his troops and horses, otherwise he felt that when Yu Zhengdao came back next time, he would still let the other party slaughter the cattle and sheep, and for this he did not hesitate to break the default rules that were now practiced in the entire land of Shenzhou.

All the people of Guangchuan don't know that because of the arrival of one person, their indifference to the conquest of the major warlords will be broken, and this spreading trend will spread to the whole of Guangchuan and then to the whole of Shenzhou with this vicious expansion of armaments, because no one will see that the neighbor has an extra gun, and does not get a gun for himself, and then this vicious competition can no longer be controlled.

And this result is unpredictable for Xiao Fei, because the reason why he gave up Chengfu is not what Liu Meiling guessed at all, but that he really has no ability to occupy Chengfu for the time being, because of his current strength, if he divides the troops, not only can he not guarantee whether the people who are divided will be loyal, but the most important thing is that he can't guarantee that he will use half of his manpower to ally with the major marshals of Guangchuan, and he will have the right to speak, if he has no right to speak, then he will have no independent ability, and for a small warlord, there is no independent ability, and it is basically impossible not to be cannon fodder for others！

An army wants to have combat effectiveness, and the experience of that world tells Xiaofei that he must have faith, but it is obvious that the people in this world are not oppressed, so it is obviously not possible to use the belief of rescuing the people as an army.

So all Xiaofei can think of is to give them honor and a bright future.

A bright future is what Xiao Fei kept saying at the meeting, that is, those of them who are soldiers will eventually have their own land and their own house, of course, this requires everyone to work together.

As for honor, that is every individual who needs to be respected, yes, the reason why Xiaofei eats and sleeps with them and does not beat and scold the soldiers is to tell them that they are the same people as him Xiaofei.

Of course, there is the last and most important thing, and that is the ceremonial treatment of the deceased.

On the low mountain, many new graves have been erected, but Xiao Fei said that these are just their temporary resting places, and when they have a large territory in the future, he will build a huge cemetery for these dead brothers like the Dongcheng District of the capital, which is planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, so that the four seasons are like spring, and each mausoleum in it is set up before the offering table, and people will worship every year.

Some soldiers were numb to these words, especially for the newly joined soldiers under Yuan Chengqian, but when they saw Xiao Fei let the whole army shoot three times in a row to the sky to show the importance of the dead, the hearts of the soldiers who were originally numb became turbulent.

Yes, just three bullets have made the hearts of many soldiers in the army become turbulent, you must know that in their Guangchuan, because there is no ability to manufacture guns, so each gun needs to be bought from the city that never sleeps, but the price of guns is too high, so not everyone in the army can have a gun, and once they are given a gun, it definitely belongs to the small group of people who are trusted by the entire army, and the soldiers or ordinary people from the outside world even use this to judge whether the entire soldier can be called a commander.

Since guns are so scarce, it can be seen that bullets are also scarce, after all, there are guns without bullets, so firearms are almost like a stick, so in the past, don't say that when there was no war, even when there was a war, many soldiers were sparing, just to accumulate more bullets, and even among the soldiers, the circulation capacity of the ocean was not as good as bullets, it can be seen that the soldiers fancy bullets, but Xiao Fei actually fired three bullets in a row to show grandeur for the deceased, and it was not him alone, but the remaining nearly 2,000 government troops each shot three bullets。

This was enough for the warlords to fight a so-called battle, but now their commanders are only to pay tribute to the dead soldiers, and when the lives of soldiers become as important as bullets that can be exchanged for the same price as the ocean.

And because of this, it will cause a major impact in the hearts of these soldiers.

Regarding this order of Regiment Commander Yu, both Zhang Jianzhang and Du Xinping were actually opposed at first, after all, they fought an ambush battle, and even the regiment commander was almost in danger of life, so they only got 10,000 rounds of ammunition from Chengqian, and as a result, nearly 6,000 bullets were snapped at this time.

But in the face of their distress, Li Kaishan raised his head and nodded into the distance, only to find that even those wounded soldiers came out at this time, pulled off their hats, and their faces were not full of pride but not the previous frustration, not to mention the soldiers who fired. As for those soldiers who have just joined the government army and are not qualified to shoot to pay tribute to their deceased comrades, there is a trace of envy in their eyes after being surprised, because only soldiers know the value of bullets, and therefore know the importance that their government army attaches to deceased soldiers, which makes traditional soldiers feel worthwhile to enjoy this kind of treatment after death, and then they are not so afraid of death.

And if a person is not afraid, then the fighting power he shows will be amazing.

"It's worth it!"

This is the voice of Zhang Jianzhang and others.
