With a tired body and the joy of victory, the soldiers of Yueli walked on both sides of the street in an orderly manner. At this time, a fast horse galloped back and forth in Nandan City, and immediately one person repeatedly announced loudly, "The general has an order, all the soldiers who leave the moon will rest in place, and those who have disputes with the common people will be punished!" Those who damage and seize the property of the common people, kill! Those who kill ordinary people, hang their bodies for public display! ”

The streets fell silent, and the soldiers, who had been fighting for a day and a night, found a nearby place to sit down, closed their eyes and began to rest. Two or three teams were responsible for clearing the battlefield and quietly carrying the soldiers who had died out of the city.

Three huge earth pits had already been dug outside the city, and the bodies of all the war dead, regardless of Yueli or Nanlin, were buried on the spot. The injured were also taken to the City Lord's Mansion for treatment in time.

Yu Wending and the others were in the City Lord's Mansion at the moment, discussing the next step.

"The third prince, a total of 12,000 people surrendered in the Nanlin army, and the rest were all killed in battle. The subordinates sent people to search carefully, and there was indeed no trace of Duanmu Qian found in this Nandan City. All the dead people have also been checked, and there is no Duanmu Qian. General Xiao told him about the situation.

"He must have fled after the gates were breached, so he must have returned to the palace at this time." Yuwen Haojun looked at Yuwending, and was a little worried like Yuwending, afraid that this Duan Muqian would be unfavorable to Nangong Meng after he went back, if he grabbed Nangong Meng as a threat, I am afraid that the fake death planned by the prime minister would not be realized.

didn't catch Duanmu Qian, Yu Wending was not worried that it was fake, but it was useless to worry at the moment, he could only secretly hope that Nangong Meng could take the fake death medicine in time and smoothly implement the prime minister's plan. At this time, after listening to General Xiao's report, Yuwen Ding's face did not show any abnormality, he stood up and looked at Yuwen Haojun, "Haojun is tired for a day, take a good rest, I will go to the city with General Xiao to have a look, and by the way, arrange some people to be responsible for the city defense of this Nandan City." ”

"Third brother, you've been tired for a day, let the people below do these things!" In the past few months, in addition to studying tactics, Yuwen Ding has also taken the lead in attacking the city every time, and after occupying the city, he not only has to personally inspect the whole city, but also deploy men and horses to stay behind, Yuwen Haojun naturally feels that he is too hard.

"It doesn't matter! Let's go back and rest! Yuwen Ding patted Yuwen Haojun on the shoulder and motioned to the phantom demon and the others, "Take the four princes down to eat something and rest and recuperate." With that, he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with General Xiao.

At this time, many soldiers on the street were so tired that they had already fallen asleep, and there were food and water bags on the ground beside them that had not yet been touched. Yu Wending looked at these soldiers who fought bloodily with him, and felt a little sorry in his heart. General Xiao knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly spoke, "Today, I can only send some dry food and a little water to the soldiers in the city, and after leaving the city tomorrow, let the Huotou Army do some good rewards for the three armies on the way!" ”

"Very good, at this time, the people in the city still have some scruples about us, and if the three armies are rewarded here, it is easy for the people to resist. After encamping tomorrow, the three armies will be rewarded, and the prince and the soldiers will celebrate together! Yu Wending's smile makes people feel very warm.

"Some of the people in the city are starting to come out and move around." General Xiao saw some bold people open the door from a distance, and probes out of the head, presumably Yu Wending sent people to shout military orders along the street to calm these people.

"In fact, for the common people, who governs the country is not the most important thing. Their demands are not high, as long as they can enjoy food, clothing and peace, live with human dignity, and be free from oppression, they will be satisfied. War is inevitable, but its negative impact on their lives must be minimized. Yu Wending looked at the people who walked on the street thoughtfully, and turned back to the unarmored Chasing Cloud and Blue Lotus behind him, "You two look around, if there are any shops that are open, if there is wine and meat, then let people buy it, and let the soldiers feast on it tomorrow night." ”

"Yes, sir!" The two of them were about to retreat, but Yu Wending hurriedly instructed, "It's okay to give some more silver!" Chasing Cloud nodded knowingly, and looked around with Blue Lotus.

"General Xiao, this Nandan City will be guarded by you personally!" Ascending the city tower, Yu Wending looked at the soldiers who were busy cleaning up and down the city tower and the soldiers who were tidying up the camp outside the city, and turned to face General Xiao, "It's very close to go to the capital of Nanlin, the army will leave early tomorrow morning, and it will arrive in the morning after tomorrow." According to the spies' news, there are almost no troops in the capital of Nanlin now, so I only need to take 100,000 troops to go, and after taking the capital of Nanlin, let it be stationed outside the capital and wait for my father's orders. ”

"Yes!"

"After the 200,000 troops are stationed, the general must be strict in military discipline while rewarding the three armies. When we returned, we deployed the men and horses and distributed them to the various cities along the way. Over the past few months, everyone has worked hard, and after returning to the moon, I will ask my father to reward the soldiers. ”

"The third prince can rest assured, the minister understands." General Xiao looked at Yuwending with admiration and approval in his eyes, when the emperor ordered him to obey Yuwending and lead the army to attack Nanlin, he was somewhat unconvinced. A little-known prince who has been missing for many years, has no experience in leading troops to fight, but he wants to command an army of 300,000, and the emperor is not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the great prince back then.

But in the past few months, General Xiao has to say that the emperor's decision is really wise. This Yuwending not only arranged the troops and arranged the formation strongly, the strategy was outstanding, but also brave and decisive, the battle was always charged at the forefront, and the treatment of soldiers was also clear rewards and punishments, sympathetic to subordinates, in just a few months in the three armies to establish a great prestige, by the support of everyone.

Seeing that Nanlin was reduced to Yueli's bag step by step, this Yu Wending did not show the slightest smugness, and his words and demeanor seemed much calmer than his actual age. It seems that this prince, who was sent by the emperor to raise outside the palace since he was a child, is really a rare talent. I don't know which master the emperor sent him to back then?

Recalling that before leaving, the emperor secretly summoned him and told him to protect the two princes no matter what, especially not to let the three princes have any mistakes, General Xiao felt that such a reminder had a deep meaning, definitely not only because the three princes shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the three armies, I am afraid that the emperor is not as rumored, in fact, he is very serious about these three princes. However, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and it is better not to guess such a big thing. When the meritorious deeds are rewarded, and when the candidate for the crown prince is announced, I believe that everything will be revealed.
