After a night of fierce fighting, the stars faded, the sky was slightly bright, and the pursuing cavalry had turned back. The battalion of the human legion www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion moved forward overnight to the ice field outside Tamu City. It was an extremely risky move, losing the defense of the northern city wall, and the remnants of the southern city blocking the way of retreat, such a deployment was tantamount to fighting on the back.

However, after the recent victory, the morale of the cavalry regiments was high, and they were confident enough to keep the enemy out of the country. Most importantly, this is the only way to buy time for the restoration of Tamu City.

In the camp tent of the Chinese army, the generals who had not slept all night gathered together, their eyes were red like rabbits who had gnawed radishes all night, but their spirits were as excited as the gamblers who had entered the Qinglou Casino.

Without him, Lord Monton and the Lord of Chiba jointly issued an order to all departments to strike while the iron was hot, and to report the merits of the various legions participating in the war. That's a big deal. All the generals present already know that the imperial capital has changed the day, and Prince Wen is about to ascend the throne and become the new Emperor of Light of the empire.

The new emperor is based on the many disasters of the empire, and when he encounters such an exciting victory, and it is a victory in foreign wars, he will definitely write a special book and reward it heavily!

Although everyone must be rewarded for such great achievements, but the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds should not be ignored. Since ancient times, this kind of thing has always been "not suffering from a small number but suffering from unevenness", but if it is blindly average, it loses the purpose of boosting morale, so the size of this is quite exquisite.

However, for the commanders of the legions, there is not so much attention, they know a truth, the birds that can call have food to eat, and when they fight, they all rush forward with their heads tied to their belts, who can be much stronger than whom?

Therefore, the chiefs of all the ministries who came to hear the wind were all full of energy, and they were ready to do a big job when they were in the order of merit.

However, from the whitening of the fish belly to the dawn of the sky, there is still no Monton and Chiba. All the generals couldn't help but yawn, and they couldn't help but wonder if those two treacherous and cunning Shangguan deliberately exhausted everyone's spirit, and later turned the matter of discussing merit into a hall of words, and listened to what they said!

This really wronged Monton and Chiba, and the reason why they were delayed was only because of some disputes. Before reaching an agreement on the general direction, it is really not appropriate for the two to bring the contradiction in front of the generals to avoid hurting morale.

At this moment, in a camp tent not far away, Meng Dun and Chiba's faces were a little unsightly.

"Lord Mengton, the first merit of this battle must go to the legions under the command of the Northern Frontier Army!" Chiba said stiffly.

"The county lord, the last general thinks it's inappropriate. At the two critical moments of the battle, it was the General Xiao Lei of the Ice Plain Army and the First Cavalry Brigade that could turn the situation around, and without their help, the victory or defeat would still be between two sides. My generals in the northern frontier will not have any objections, so why do you insist on it, county lord?"

"Lord Monton, you are truly your own, and I might as well make it clear to you. The reason why I insist on it is not selfish. The Icefield Legion is outside the borders of the Empire, and its chief officer is Li Wuheng, a descendant of the imperial family of the previous dynasty, and the loyalty of such an army is always questionable to the Empire! If you bestow this battle on the Icefield Legion, it will only boost Li Wuheng's prestige, which is definitely not what my father wants to see.

Moreover, even if you draw up the first merit of the Icefield Legion, the court will fight back. As a result, it will not only damage your prestige, but will also make the Icefield Legion even more centrifugal, so please think about it!"

Chiba said it thoroughly, and Meng Dun couldn't help but groan, even if he persisted, would he really be good to the Ice Plains Army? But if he has merit and can't be rewarded, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers in the Ice Plains even more, but he was afraid that Xiao Lei would immediately leave with people angry.

Meng Dun sighed secretly and said bitterly: "That's it, just according to the county lord's wishes! However, in the face of the generals of Northern Xinjiang later, I am afraid that some people will mention it, after all, Xiao Lei is an old general of Northern Xinjiang, so there are not a few old comrades, and our approach may be difficult to convince the public!"

Chiba secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Monton was willing to agree to things, it would be easy to do, for her, the focus was not at all whether the Ice Legion was the first to do so. The ultimate goal was to take advantage of the injustice of this matter to force out the uncontrolled Ice Plains Legion, so that even if Li Wuheng returned to Tamu City, he would be in a situation of isolation and helplessness.

Chiba muttered slightly: "It's better to use the Ice Legion to attack the city and mistakenly kill the captured refugees in Tamu City to offset its merits, so that the generals of the Northern Frontier should have no opinions!"

Meng Dun's face changed, and he held back his anger and said: "County Lord, you and I are very clear about the reason for this matter, and General Xiao Lei also knows about it, such a self-deceptive approach will only make the soldiers of the Ice Plain dissatisfied, absolutely not!"

Chiba frowned and said, "Then do you have a better way?"

Monton clenched his fists and slammed his fist on the table: "If I am guilty, I am the first guilt!" The Icefield Legion has sacrificed a lot in this battle, how can they be humiliated because of me?"

Chiba sighed lightly: "Why should my lord be like this! Northern Xinjiang has been repeatedly calamitized, Tamu City is in ruins, if you are punished for this, I am afraid that you will lose the hearts of the army and the people, let me ask who else in Northern Xinjiang can support the overall situation of Northern Xinjiang? Although my husband Guo Wu will inherit the Duke of Wolf City, he is too young to convince the public.

Therefore, when Brother Wu returns, I will consult with him, and after my father ascends the throne, I will ask my father to promote you to the rank of Imperial General and appoint your lord as the acting governor of Northern Xinjiang. ”

"The Acting Governor of Northern Xinjiang?" Meng Dun was stunned, but laughed miserably, and said with a sad face: "What an appointment full of irony!"

Chiba naturally understood the pain in Monton's heart, and she comforted: "Lord Monton, the destruction of the wolf rider that day was the result of many mistakes, why should you keep thinking about it! The deceased is gone, and you have to look at the future of Northern Xinjiang after all......

"You don't understand!" Monton interrupted Chiba's words with a low roar, he turned around, tears in his eyes, and muttered, "I have never forgotten them for a moment, Eugene, Tuoba, and those decades-old brothers, who never died on the battlefield, but died under my sword, it was I who destroyed the wolf horse, I killed them!

The air in the tent became extremely dull and oppressive, and the lights on the table that were not extinguished were automatically turned on without wind.

Chiba was speechless, she was even a little scared, she never thought that this tenacious and deep Northern Xinjiang famous general in front of her would hide such violent torment and pain. She was afraid that such an ordeal would burn everything to ashes.

Monton took a deep breath and laughed miserably, "I'm sorry, County Lord, for causing you unnecessary trouble......! I only have one condition, and that is to make it clear to General Xiao Lei in person that I don't want the Icefield Legion to have a grudge because of this!"

Chiba nodded, but he sneered in his heart, although Monton was too naïve after all, no matter how much he explained such a thing, how could he be innocent?
