The purpose of the Suzaku Army today is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and now that the goal has been achieved, the remaining prisoners can be killed or not.

And after taking in everyone's expressions, Zeng Xiangao was very satisfied, and then he immediately asked Li Yun for instructions: "My lord, our goal has been achieved, it is better to spare these people's lives, so as to show the lord's compassion, so as not to fall into the notoriety of cruel killing, what does the lord think?" ”

"Well, that's right, you can just look at it." Because Li Yun's mind was not here at all, he agreed with Zeng Xiangao's opinion without much thought,

So after asking Li Yun's opinion, Zeng Xiangao announced that he could spare those people's lives.

"Listen to me! Originally, you could not escape death for your crimes, but my lord is merciful and does not want to kill more, so I spare your lives! I hope you can mend your ways, but if anyone dares to fight against the Suzaku Army, those people will be your fate! ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes for adults!"

"I will never dare to oppose the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Soldier again!"

When those prisoners heard this, they were overjoyed and thanked them gratefully.

But the major families on the side were not in such a good mood. Because they knew that what Zeng Xian Gao said was not addressed to those people, but to them.

When they thought of the imperial court letter at home, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, as if it was a reminder letter.

Therefore, after returning home, Ning Zhiyuan and the major families sent out the pledged money and grain.

It was only then that they understood why the Suzaku Army, which had always done nothing wrong with them, would suddenly ask them to donate money and food. Because the Vermilion Bird Army had long known about their small actions in private, these money and food were made to make them admit their mistakes.

However, not to mention Zeng Xiangao's silent secret war with the major families, at this time, Li Yunzheng looked at the latest military report and sneered.

The military report was sent by Maoyan, and the counterinsurgency army of Jiangning Prefecture had converged with the patrol battalions of Zhending and Yong'an Prefectures, and was heading towards Ruzhou, which was expected to arrive in six days.

But Li Yun looked like he didn't care, because he had never stayed in Ruzhou and had no intention of attacking the imperial army. is still the same sentence, he beats him, I beat mine, Li Yun will never act according to the rhythm of the enemy.

Fortunately, after a period of reorganization, the various units of the Suzaku Army have been completed, and a large number of Rong Wei troops have been established. Although these guards are not well trained, they are enough to undertake the logistics and transportation of the Suzaku Army, as well as the tasks of maintaining local stability and transporting new soldiers.

Therefore, Li Yun immediately convened a military meeting to make operational arrangements for the next round of offensives.

After everyone arrived, Li Yun pointed to the map and ordered, "Everyone! The Empire's counterinsurgency army is about to arrive, but you don't have to worry about them, we still implement the eastward expansion plan according to the established strategy, so I order! ”

"Huh!"

When all the people present heard this, they got up one after another to accept the order.

Then Li Yun began to make operational deployments, "Wolf Peach! ”

"Here!"

"Immediately lead your special mountain warfare battalion to carry out raids and harassment against the incoming Imperial counterinsurgency army. Remember, don't go head-to-head with the enemy, and be nimble enough to strike the enemy, as long as it makes every step of the enemy extremely difficult. ”

"No!"

"Logistics Department!"

"Here!"

"Our army uses firearms as the main combat weapon, and the consumption of ammunition is extremely large, so the smooth flow of logistics supply is extremely important, which can be said to be the key to the success or failure of the whole army! Therefore, the logistics department must do a good job in the logistics support work of the army to ensure the smooth replenishment of ammunition supply! ”

"No!"

"Rong Guard!"

"Here!"

"When the army goes out, the stability of the rear will be handed over to you, and I will never allow a fire in the backyard to happen."

"No!"

"The rest of the divisions are immediately ready for battle and ready to go at any time!"

"No!"

Then Li Yun waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down and prepare, but only Nie Qiucheng, the commander of the Ruzhou Rong Guard, was left.

Nie Qiucheng was born in the guard battalion, so Li Yun dared to rest assured that he would be in charge of the garrison mission in Ruzhou and hand over the vital rear to him.

"Autumn City, do you know what your main task is after the army goes out?" Li Yun patted Nie Qiucheng on the shoulder and asked.

"Know! Maintain stability in the rear and ensure the safe transportation of soldiers and supplies! ”

"Well, that's good!"

Li Yun smiled and nodded, but then he said very seriously: "What you said is good, but remember that your most important task is to protect the safety of Qingping County, where are all the belongings of our Vermilion Bird Army." Therefore, in an emergency, in order to ensure the safety of the Qingping County Military Industrial Base, other places can be temporarily abandoned, understand! ”

"Understood! Please rest assured, eldest brother, as long as I, Nie Qiucheng, do not die, I will never let a single soldier of the enemy step into Qingping County! Nie Qiucheng assured as if he were at home.

"Well, then the belongings of the whole army will be handed over to you."

"Please rest assured, big brother!"

After Nie Qiucheng left, Li Yun's face couldn't help but turn cold, because it was false to say that he was not worried about the safety of Qingping County at all. But he had no choice, the disparity between the enemy and us was too great, and he couldn't absolutely guarantee the absolute safety of Qingping County.

Therefore, as long as the eastward advance is smooth and the Suzaku Army fights fiercely and firmly attracts the attention of the imperial court, then the military industrial base in Qingping County will be safe. Moreover, in addition to Nie Qiucheng's Rong Guard, Qingping County also stationed Xu Tielong's first regiment and Sulu's second battalion of special mountain operations.

Therefore, even if the imperial court storms Ruzhou in the future, it can hold out for a long time, which is enough for Li Yun to make responses and arrangements.

The Jiangning patrol battalion Dazhai, the battalion is in charge of Fang Xiongzheng, and the patrol battalion commanders of Zhending and Yongan are discussing the matter of marching together. However, it is said that it is a discussion, but in fact, it is to order Zhending and Yong'an to listen to the order.

Because the Jiangning patrol battalion is the most elite patrol battalion in Cangnan Province, the patrol battalions of other provinces can only listen to it in front of the Jiangning patrol battalion.

"Okay, two adults, just do as I say, our three-way army will march together, and we must not let any thief slip through the net." After giving their respective orders, Fang Xiong said a little arrogantly.

"Lord Fang has no last resort, our army will definitely succeed this time." Zhending patrol battalion Zhengluo Dakai said with a smile on the side.

And Ji Yinghan, the leader of the Yongan Patrol Battalion, also looked approving, "That's right! A few small thieves also dare to try in vain to resist our imperial army, and when our army arrives, they will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. ”

"Hmm."

Fang Xiong looked arrogant when he heard this, as Governor Kang Dingtai's confidant and favorite general, Fang Xiong was also very arrogant. He felt that under his training, the Jiangning Patrol Battalion was by no means inferior to the eight main battle legions of the empire, so this time he must let those thieves know that he was powerful.
