In the end, the bandits still couldn't withstand the huge temptation, and Congliang's mind was even more anxious than Yang Mu, just like a lost girl who strayed into a black nest and suddenly encountered the rescue of the policeman's uncle.

Originally, Yang Mu planned to put all these people back, but after Wei Zhongquan's reminder, he finally decided to leave the main characters in each village, and the remaining more than 700 people went back to organize people to destroy the remaining four villages together, and then rushed over to converge to form a team of 6,000 people.

Yang Mu firmly believes that black eats black, which is definitely much more useful than frontal encirclement and suppression.

Busy until late at night, all the soldiers worked together to solve the aftermath of the Golden Dao Village, packed the loot, and then counted the merits of each soldier one by one, and distributed the points.

Originally, the reward for meritorious deeds would not start until after the end of the war, but in order to boost morale and show it to those people in the cottage, Yang Mu ordered to settle the points that were easiest to implement first.

This is a terrible calculation, thirty two-star civilians and two three-star civilians were directly born!

Oh my God, it's just a nest of bandits......

Suddenly, the whole camp was in an uproar, the soldiers screamed, the people who were promoted were excited and excited, and they rushed to tell each other, and those who only had a small number of points were envious and secretly swore to work hard.

"Have you heard, Li Goudan from our village has been promoted to a two-star civilian!"

"Damn, you had dinner with us yesterday, and you killed two bandits without making a sound, what a blessing!"

"This is not luck, Li Goudan was a well-known second stunned man when he was in the village, I didn't expect that stupid people have stupid luck, and they picked up a big bargain in front of them, and when we rushed up again, the bandits were all killed!"

"Hmph, it's nothing, our 1,000-person team has been promoted to three-star civilians, I heard that he has a long face, and he will definitely be an example of ten miles and eight towns when he goes home!"

"Hey, isn't there an archery team over there, they're so excited, I haven't heard that anyone has been promoted!"

"Haven't you heard of that? As the scribe said, everyone in the archery team will get 100 points this time! Alas, I really blame me, I didn't dare to rush behind it, this time I lost a lot, if I go into battle again tomorrow, I must rush to the front, don't be robbed by others again! ”

"Hey, let's eat, do you smell the fragrance, I heard that more than a dozen drowned pigs in Jindaozhai have been served, and he must be eaten tonight!"

A few fellow villagers chatted for a while, then dispersed and ran back to their respective camps.

Such a scene happened at the same time in the entire army.

Especially the soldiers who have been promoted, almost everyone is surrounded by groups, congratulations, congratulations, and experience, just like the stars and the moon, at a glance, the one with a red face must be the newly promoted soldier.

It is no wonder that as the first batch of beneficiaries since the promulgation of the meritorious lord system, it is equivalent to the first person who dares to eat crabs, and after success, he is naturally welcomed and sought after.

According to the reward system, after these promoted soldiers go back, they will get a sum of silver, and they are eligible to be allocated one to three acres of basic farmland, even if they are poor and have nothing, they can live a subsistence life after they go back, and the older bachelors who have not married their daughters-in-law will also usher in the spring of life.

Moreover, after this battle, these people can definitely become the backbone of the army, and when there is an opportunity to promote, they must be given priority.

As expected, most of the soldiers who were promoted were from the 1,000th team, including the two soldiers who had been promoted to three-star civilians, who were the first to rush into the valley, suffering the most losses, but also killing the most.

In addition, the army also issued a military order, all the soldiers who died in this crackdown, their relatives will receive a pension of great value, depending on the position, ranging from ten taels of silver to one hundred taels of silver, and at the same time, their respective points will also be reduced by half and transferred to their relatives.

The soldiers who learned the news were simply enthusiastic.

Rush to the front to get meritorious rewards, and you don't have to worry about the future!

It's so sweet!

You must know that in the past, in the war, the people who rushed to the front and made meritorious contributions could only get a few words of praise from the generals, and when they were substituted for official positions, it would be very good to be able to be a small officer, it can be said that the danger and the interests are completely unequal, and the promotion of officers This kind of thing mainly depends on the likes and dislikes of the generals, if they are disliked by the generals, even if they are brave, they will be a small soldier for a lifetime.

Now, it's completely different!

All the credit will be recorded and exchanged for points, which is not only fair, but also can get actual benefits, which makes people hopeful!

This night, many people didn't fall asleep, counting their points, secretly clenching their fists - next time, next time, you must rush to the front, kill more enemies, and get more points!

Similarly, the thirteen village owners also couldn't sleep all night, they witnessed the distribution of points with their own eyes, and they were shocked, and at the same time, they were faintly looking forward to the three earls promised by His Majesty, who would get them?

I have to say that this wave of enveloping people's hearts is indeed very useful, and the next morning, the soldiers kept urging the gang leaders to make breakfast, and they couldn't wait to rush to the front line as soon as possible.

It seems that what they are about to face is not a battlefield, but a road to promotion and wealth!

Eighteen bends in the mountain road, led by the owners of the thirteen villages, and rested for one night in the Liujiao Village and Taiping Village on the way, and it took two days for the army to finally arrive at the border of the Shen State.

No, it should be said that it is the border of Zheng Guo now.

Ordered the scouts to go to the nearby villages to investigate, only to find out that in a few days, Shen Guo had lost four cities!

Although Yang Mu didn't say anything on his face, he was really taken aback in his heart.

Fortunately, the imperial city of Shen, that is, Shencheng, was not breached, otherwise his trip would have been in vain.

"Get the map of Shen Kingdom." Yang Mu commanded.

The accompanying scribe took out the map, which was a detailed road map handed to him by the envoy of Shen, including the roads in the countryside, which were clearly marked, in order to let the Cangguo army arrive to help as soon as possible.

The map was spread out on the table, Yang Mu stood up and walked to the table, his eyes swept to the map on the table.

With Shencheng as the dividing line, three cities fell in the north, namely Pingxiang City, Shanquan City, and Anluo City, and one city in the south, called Jiangshan City.

The Cangguo army is currently located in the north of Shencheng, that is, Anluo City.

Yang Mu was not surprised by the fall of the three cities in the north of the Shen Kingdom, but the fall of Jiangshan City was serious.

It is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the monarchs and ministers of the Shen State, and at the same time holding the passage of the Cang State to the north to support, if the Cang army follows the path of normal exchanges between the two countries, then it will be directly blocked under the Jiangshan City, and it is in a dilemma.

The situation is grim, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Zheng Guo's army has learned the news of Cangguo's reinforcements, so they deliberately captured Jiangshan City and stepped up the persecution of Shencheng.

At this moment, the scout in front came with news again, and in Taoxiang, ten miles away, traces of the enemy had been discovered!

It was a hundred-man detachment, walking through the countryside, going from house to house to loot, burning and looting, and many of the soldiers' spears were still stained with undried blood.

Naturally, the two groups discovered each other's existence and engaged in a skirmish.
