The reward meeting went quickly, but for most of the hour, hundreds of soldiers who had made great contributions were duly rewarded.

And Ji Yue, who was sitting on the tiger skin chair, was expressionless and didn't say a word, but in a pair of gloomy eyes, the gaze shot out became more and more cold!

This merit appreciation meeting was originally an excellent opportunity to buy people's hearts! Even if Xue Wanche could not be managed, if he could pull a few of these hundreds of generals under his command, he could be regarded as gaining a foothold in the army, and he might be able to come in handy in the future.

It's a pity that Xue Wanche didn't leave him the slightest room to play with such an opportunity, he took care of everything by himself, and presided over a reward meeting from beginning to end, and he Ji Yue didn't even have a chance to open his mouth.

As soon as the reward was over, Ji Yue didn't say a word, and threw away with a black face.

Xue Wanche looked at Ji Yue's distant back, his face suddenly showed a trace of disdain, and he said in a low voice: "Little rabbit cub, if you want to fight with Lao Tzu, you are still a little tender! Lao Tzu's territory Lao Tzu is in charge, how can you intervene!"

Turning his head to watch the generals under the steps leave one after another, Xue Wanche suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Haozi, roll over to Lao Tzu!"

Zhou Hao was walking outside the hall, and when he heard Xue Wanche's call, he turned around and ran over and asked, "General, what are you looking for me?"

"You kid is the first in the army in terms of the number of enemies killed this time, and his credit is only greater than others, not less than others! But today you can only watch others get promoted and make a fortune, but you yourself only get a thousand taels of silver, don't you feel a little unfair?" Xue Wanche said with a smile.

The corners of Zhou Hao's mouth twitched, and he replied: "The road is chosen by myself, and I don't want to be an official, who can blame me? Besides, with this thousand taels of silver, and the military merits that can be exchanged for exercises, I am already satisfied!"

Xue Wanche laughed and said: "That's good, I'm afraid that you kid won't be able to think about it, and you will blush when you look at others! Don't compare yourself with others, your kid's purpose is not this, your future may be even greater than theirs." For you, this army is not a good place, and now the Northern Yan Army is still covered by Lao Tzu, and those messy things can't be inserted for the time being, but it's hard to say in the future. ”

Zhou Hao nodded and said, "General, I understand!"

At the reward meeting just now, Zhou Hao completely saw the performance of Xue Wanche and Ji Yue. Although he didn't know what the power struggle was, his intuition told him that if someone like Ji Yue was allowed to intervene in the army, Beiyan, who was surrounded by strong enemies, would not be far from the end of the day.

Not to mention anything else, if you let the seventh prince get involved in the army, how can those eldest princes, third princes, fifth princes, or so on be willing to be the queen of others? No matter how you think of it, you must also stick a leg in the army, right? When the time comes, there will be many factions in the army, vying for power and profit, and busy with internal fighting, where will they still have the heart to resist foreign enemies?

If it really comes to that time, not to mention the Western Qin people, who are already stronger than Beiyan, even if it is the Fusang people in front of them, Beiyan may not be able to resist it!

From this point of view, Xue Wanche's title as the general of the town and country was really not given for nothing! Without him to suppress the army, which was the foundation of the country, Beiyan would probably have ceased to exist a long time ago.

Xue Wanche continued: "It's good to understand, go back and practice martial arts for Lao Tzu." In a few days, we will go on the expedition again, you kid must be well prepared, and you can't slack off in the slightest!"

Zhou Hao grinned: "You don't need to be reminded by the general, do you think I have ever been lazy?"

Xue Wanche waved his hand: "Even if you kid is still hardworking, get out, don't stay in front of Lao Tzu!"

Zhou Hao laughed, turned around and ran out of the hall.

Xue Wanche looked at Zhou Hao's back, and suddenly remembered a pair of children thousands of miles away, and felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and sighed slightly: "I haven't been back to the royal capital for two years, and I don't know what happened to Yan'er and Hu'er!

After a few days, tens of thousands of troops have been resting in Pingcheng. During this period, the Northern Yan Right Route Army fought all the way along the coast to Pingcheng, and the two armies finally joined forces, totaling more than 200,000 people.

Now, except for the Left Route Army, which is still fighting with the remnants of tens of thousands of Fusang troops on the Gaima Plateau in the north, the expeditionary force has gathered all its troops and is waiting for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the million-strong army of Fusang.

After more than 20 days, the belated Left Route Army finally cleared the remnants of the Fusang enemy on the Gaima Plateau and rushed to Pingcheng to join the division. By this time, the entire northern part of Goryeo, the army of the Fusang people had been completely swept away.

In the two months of entering Goryeo, the Northern Yan Expeditionary Force fought more than 20 battles, destroying a total of 190,000 enemies, capturing more than 10,000 prisoners, and capturing countless grains, grasses, and baggage. And drove more than 200,000 Fusang defenders to the south of Goryeo. The Northern Yan Army itself lost more than 34,000 killed and more than 16,000 seriously wounded. It's off to a pretty good start.

But the Fusang people who suffered losses also learned to be obedient, and they cowered in several important towns in the south of Goryeo, no matter how the Northern Yan Army teased, they just didn't come out to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Yan Army, and put on a posture of perseverance.

When the Northern Yan army attacked Pingcheng, it paid a heavy price. More than half of the casualties were caused during the storming of Pingcheng! It can be seen from this that the Fuso people were not able to fight in the field, but they were quite good at defending the city.

Moreover, the strategy of night attack can be repeated, and it is almost impossible to capture the heavily guarded city of the Fuso people with minimal casualties. The only way is to lure the Fusang people out, and it is the best strategy to have a decisive battle in the field and eliminate most of the Fusang army in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the Fuso people just weren't fooled. still relied on Xue Wanche to send several cavalry teams as bait, trying to lure the Fusang people to take the bait, but the Fusang people just couldn't hold on.

The cavalry team sent out by Xue Wanche saw that the Fusang people always held out, and their courage became bigger and bigger, and the distance to the south of Goryeo was getting farther and farther. There were even two cavalry teams that had already broken through to a place more than 1,000 miles away from Pingcheng, and after going around to the capital of Goryeo Han in one fell swoop, they directly raided the grain and grass supply line of the Fuso people, and burned thousands of carts of grain and grass in one fire.

The supply line of grain and grass is the lifeline! The people of Fusang can not be extravagant in victory, they can not want territory, and they can even do not want dignity and face, but they cannot do without grain and grass!

The grain and grass supply line was threatened by the Northern Yan cavalry, and the Fusang people, who could not shrink, finally couldn't hold back and moved quietly. Moreover, this move is a complete move, and the elite Fusang army that is huddled in several important towns quietly converges in one place, laying a net for the Northern Yan cavalry team that is deep behind the enemy. Just wait for any of the too daring prey to hit the net headlong.

Soon after the Fuso people laid a large net, the daring prey appeared. And this prey is none other than the three thousand cavalry led by Hou Fatzi!

In the vicious battle of the capture of Pingcheng, the pro-military camp did not have any record that could be put on the table, and then he nested in Pingcheng for a full month, and there was nothing to do in the whole day. Hou Fatzi, who had just been promoted to the head of the regiment, was the new official who took office with three fires, pestering Xue Wanche all the time, shouting that he wanted to fight.

Xue Wanche, who was annoyed by Hou Fatzi, finally relented and released the most elite tiger in the Northern Yan Army. In addition, two thousand light horsemen were drawn from the Xiao cavalry camp and assigned to Hou Fatzi for unified command. It is precisely because of Xue Wanche's decision that the course and outcome of this war have been completely changed!
