"What's the reason ......" Under Wei Zheng's gaze, Wang Feng subconsciously asked.

Zhao Yun was full of puzzlement, and under Wang Feng's expectant double gaze, a trace of strange gaze quickly flashed away from Wei Zheng's face. Then, he replied to the two of them.

"Don't forget, neither Huairen nor Sanyin are the territory of Datong Mansion. Even if we recapture San'in and Huairen from the rebels, and are no longer suspicious of the imperial court, the imperial court will not allow our tiger and leopard army to gain access to territory outside of Datong. Because, so far, the imperial court has still not been able to restrain us and control us..."

"Since we have to withdraw from Huairen and Shanyin sooner or later, in order to continue to maintain good relations with the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible to garrison troops in Huairen and Shanyin to protect our tuntian and interests in the two counties."

"Since we can't do it openly, then we can only do it in secret. And our Tiger and Leopard Army left in these two counties will secretly destroy an enemy who wants to seek our interests as a Tuntian soldier.

From the battlefield to Datong City, it is a distance of forty miles.

With the fastest cavalry speed of the cavalry troops, if you do one more hour, you can return to Datong City from the battlefield.

So, when Wei Zheng, Wang Feng, Zhao Yun, and the three of them began to discuss a few big scenes to be played with the rebels tomorrow. Zhou Shuyuan, who was far away in Datong City, had already received a letter and a letter from Wei Zheng.

After reading it, Zhou Shuyuan, whose eyes lit up, didn't care about the sky that was getting darker and darker, and rushed out of the General Military Mansion directly.

Soon, Zhou Shuyuan walked into the compound where the prison commander Cao Huachun was located.

looked at Zhou Shuyuan, who came in a hurry, and his face was covered with excitement. Cao Huachun, who is very good at observing words and feelings, immediately realized something, and his eyes lit up. He asked directly.

"Lord Zhou. Didn't the chief soldier send us good news..."

Zhou Shuyuan nodded affirmatively and replied, "Lord Jianjun's guess is right... This is the excerpt of the victory that the chief soldier has just sent back....Our Tiger and Leopard Army won the first battle on the battlefield. Destroy and defeat 5,000 rebels, including more than 3,000 rebels. Although our Tiger and Leopard Army has also paid for the lives of almost 1,500 soldiers, the passage for us to march into Huairen County has been completely opened... This is a memo sent back by the Chief Soldier, please read it..."

With a face full of anticipation, Cao Huachun quickly took the fold and began to browse.

After reading it, he shouted directly with excitement on his face: "Okay." Well played... At the cost of 1,500 soldiers, more than 3,000 elite rebels were annihilated, and with this great victory, the imperial court will no longer say that our Haw Par Army is inactive, that our Haw Par Army has self-respect... Lord Zhou, the miscellaneous family thinks that we should send this letter to the capital immediately and in an expedited way..."

Zhou Shuyuan nodded and replied: "Lord Jian Jun is right....With this great victory, the imperial court will no longer say that our Tiger and Leopard Army has self-respect and does not act....you must know that the total strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army can only reach 10,000 troops." In a single battle, 1,500 elites were lost, which was fully 50% of the total strength. Such a big loss. If there are still people who say that our Haw Par Army has its own troops, then our Haw Par Army might as well just collect and disperse..."

"In addition, our Haw Par Army won the first battle, annihilating twice as many of the elite rebels at the cost of 1,500 soldiers, which directly shows that our Haw Par Army has made great progress in combat effectiveness under the supervision of the Supervisor Army..."

"Therefore, the lower officer thinks that in this kind of twist and turn, we should also add the sentence that the overseer is in command of the army... Without the supervision of the Supervisor and the Supervisors, there would be no Haw Par Army's formidable combat effectiveness today..."

Although Cao Huachun did not give an affirmative answer, from the smile on Cao Huachun's face, Zhou Shuyuan could be sure that his words went to Cao Huachun's heart.

At this moment, Cao Huachun must be very happy in his heart.

So, Zhou Shuyuan did not let go of this opportunity, and continued to Cao Huachun: "Lord Supervisor, you also know that since the expansion of the army, the Tiger and Leopard Army has never taken a tael of silver from the imperial court...... After such a long period of training, our General Military Office has reached a dangerous situation where we cannot make ends meet..."

"And now, after a battle, we will lose 1,500 soldiers, according to the pension stipulated by the imperial court, just the 1,500 soldiers killed in this battle, we will consume almost 250,000 taels of silver, plus the silver needed to reward meritorious soldiers, without 500,000 taels, it will definitely not be possible..."

"Therefore, I hope that the Lord Overseer can help the Tiger and Leopard Army ask the court for some silver-...... Xia Guan believes that with the support of the imperial court, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be even higher....Tongguò will attack this time, recover the two county towns of Huairen and Shanyin in one fell swoop, and annihilate more than 20,000 rebels, which will no longer be an unattainable dream..."

Cao Huachun's eyes lit up again, and he asked Zhou Shuyuan with excitement: "Lord Zhou, is this what you mean or what Lord Zongbing means... If the imperial court gave the Haw Par Army 500,000 taels of silver, the Haw Par Army would really be able to eliminate the rebels in Shanxi through this battle......",

Zhou Shuyuan affirmed loudly: "Report to the Lord of the Supervisory Army, this is not only the meaning of the lower officer, but also the meaning of the General Soldier....Although we do not dare to guarantee the total annihilation of more than 20,000 rebels, it is still no problem to recapture the two county towns of Shanyin and Huairen from the hands of the rebels, to curb the offensive of the rebels in Shanxi, and to turn defense into attack......."

Under Zhou Shuyuan's assurance, Cao Huachun's face full of excitement immediately showed a trace of emotion...

At this time, Zhou Shuyuan added another fire, and instigated Cao Huachun: "Lord Supervisor, you also know that because of the military spending of tens of thousands of tigers and leopards, the economy of the General Military Mansion has been very tight. It's been so long since the Prison Commander came to the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the Tiger and Leopard Army haven't honored the Prison Lords. ”

"Just now, I received a letter from the Chief Soldier... As long as the Lord of the Prison Army can help the Haw Par Army get 500,000 taels of silver from the imperial court, of which 150,000 taels of silver will be used as the first amount of silver for our Haw Par Army to honor the Lord of the Warden..."

For these eunuchs who could not have a queen or a home, silver became their favorite thing in this life.

Although Cao Huachun is the tiger and leopard army supervisor sent by Chongzhen, he is also a eunuch. For the love of silver, he is no worse than other eunuchs.

In addition, Zhou Shuyuan said that 150,000 taels of silver is only the first filial piety silver given to him by the Haw Par Army.

So, at this moment, the emotion on Cao Huachun's face has been replaced by firmness.

Without thinking about it, he affirmed to Zhou Shuyuan: "Lord Zhou is right, the soldiers are fighting bloodily on the front line, and the imperial court must not stand idly by, otherwise, the soldiers will not have the morale to continue fighting..."

"I'm going to write a recital to the imperial court, and send it to the capital together with the recital of the chief soldier, and ask the imperial court for silver........."
