"The Seventh Army broke through the Pingjun City, the general of the Dongxuan Kingdom was captured, and countless materials were captured......"

"Great victory, this is the biggest victory in the history ......of the Empire, the Seventh Legion is mighty!

"The territory has advanced for three hundred miles, and the Dongxuan Kingdom has suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and the main combat power has been reduced by thirty percent, and it will be difficult to threaten the territory of the Grand Duke of Blue Seal in the future..."

The streets of the imperial capital were full of such news, and the people rejoiced, and the mood that had been suppressed by the harsh winter and heavy snow for a month suddenly brightened up with this great victory.

Walking on the street, buying things in shops, eating in restaurants, almost everywhere you see smiling faces.

And the only people who were incompatible with such an atmosphere were the elder Tong Wanshan and his subordinates who came to negotiate from the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect.

"What the hell is going on!" Tong Wanshan slammed a water cup to the ground, his face gloomy as if dripping water.

"Didn't you say that the Seventh Army had no food, didn't you say that it could hold it in a short time, how could it be that the military city fell in just ten days. "This question has been bothering him since he heard the news, and it was they who had the upper hand, but now they ......

Thinking of the smiling face of the Imperial Negotiator, he had an urge to be furious.

"Also!What about Hongyuan City, after ten days of work in Weishenme, there was no movement in Hongyuan City! The soul who pretended to be Mu Shaodong was faint, didn't he swear to pat his chest with himself before, and promise that he would definitely be able to cause panic in Hongyuan City...... weishenme, weishenme Dingbei Hou didn't ask the empire for help at all!"

Tong Wanshan was panting heavily, his face was hideous, and he had a devouring expression. The blow was so great that he completely lost his usual calm.

"Long ...... Elder!" It took a long time for the young man to shout cautiously.

"What are you doing?" Tong Wanshan turned his head suddenly, and his vicious gaze made the young man tremble.

"Ming...... Tomorrow's negotiation, what should we do......" The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in a low voice: "They don't agree to sell the jishu who makes sheep intestines, and only agree to give the big drum, how should we reply?"

"Huh~" Tong Wanshan let out a long sigh, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said: "The sky is asking for a price, sit on the ground and pay back......! They must know that it is impossible for us to give up Pingjun City, so they are waiting for us to propose it ourselves!"

The young man narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let's not mention it, anyway, they will be short of food next year, so we will have a sheep intestine approach...... As for Pingjun City, I'm afraid they won't stay there for long, the supply line of three hundred miles is definitely enough for them, although the Dongxuan Kingdom is no longer able to fight back, but we still have seven kingdoms, as long as the time is enough, we can draw out a considerable number of troops......"

Tong Wanshan raised his hand to interrupt him, shook his head, and sighed helplessly: "If you had waited for you to mobilize troops, people would have already demolished Pingjun City to pieces, so what is the use of Pingjuncheng...... Without this fortress, the Dongxuan Kingdom will always be exposed to the attack of the Seventh Legion!"

"What does the elder mean......" the young man asked.

"Pingjun City must be brought back, even if the materials inside have been emptied, they must come back before they demolish Pingjun City...... I don't need the method of making sheep intestines, but we can propose to buy it, sign a contract, and exchange it for food!"

"Hey!" the young man sighed heavily, and could only shake his head helplessly.

In the next two days, the ministers in charge of the negotiations all smiled, and the previous ministers were probably not as happy as him in the negotiations with Xuanyuan Tianzong, and he was so aggressive that Tong Wanshan could hardly raise his head.

zuihou, the other party had to agree, with a large amount of grain in exchange for a certain amount of sheep intestines, as for the current Pingjun City, it is estimated that it has long been moved into an empty city by Wu Tianfeng, so what about him.

Although the Pingjun City that countless soldiers took down bloodily was returned to the Dongxuan Kingdom, the soldiers were not dissatisfied, they all knew the content of the negotiation, and they could solve the food problem of the empire next year, which was the final victory!

After Tong Wanshan signed a treaty with his subordinates, he returned to Xuanyuan Tianzong. Before leaving, the young man asked Tong Wanshan: "Elder, what should I do about Hongyuan City, Jihua failed, we have buried the nails for several years, I'm afraid it will be exposed!"

"That stupid guy has exposed the best for people to die, and there is more than enough success and failure......"

Although he said this, Zuihou, he still instructed the young man: "Let someone send him a sum of money, let's cover up this matter first...... Tell him that if something like this happens again in the future, I'll skin him!"

In the days that followed, the content of the negotiations spread rapidly, and the panic caused by the heavy snow and harsh winter affecting next year's spring planting was also suppressed by the news.

Immediately afterwards, the Seventh Legion, the protagonist of this great war, became the object of people's mouths. It was originally a society with a high status of warriors, and the great victory of the Seventh Legion aroused the admiration of countless people, whether it was the students of the Imperial Academy, or the children of nobles, or even the common people, the number of young people who signed up for the Seventh Legion doubled.

And the subsequent reward of the empire made this momentum irrepressible.

Wu Tianfeng, the commander of the Seventh Army, was awarded the title of Marquis of the Second Class.

Bai Zhanjun, the deputy commander of the regiment, was awarded the title of first-class viscount.

Deputy Commander...... Commander of 10,000 troops...... Captain of the Thousand Guards......

The entire Seventh Legion, even the 100-man captain, the ten-man captain, and even the small soldiers were rewarded.

And just when the Seventh Legion was in full swing in the empire, the next reward was a little confusing.

Tang Chuxue, the commander of the First Army, was recommended for meritorious service and was awarded the title of Marquis of the Second Class.

"Recommended, what recommended?" Everyone was confused, the Seventh Legion worked hard, and Wu Tianfeng had only obtained a second-class marquis.

You Tang Chuxue...... Well, even if Tang Chuxue is the goddess in the hearts of countless young people, the first young master of the empire, and known as the first beauty, it can't be like this, how can she have a meritorious recommendation?

Many people have such questions, but the empire does not give any explanation, and people certainly do not dare to ask casually.

The First Legion, Tang Chuxue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw such a reward, originally she just wanted to help Wu Tianfeng, after all, this was a rare big victory in the history of the empire. didn't expect it, but he actually facilitated the negotiation with Xuanyuan Tianzong, and even she was promoted to the next level.

"The higher the title, the more difficult it is to seal, others have worked hard to fight, and I have lost a second-class marquis in vain with my words, which is really a bit deserved...... I don't know what Wu Tianfeng and those guys will think when they see this news...... However, it is really strange why Jiang Xingchen has made such a great contribution, but he has not been rewarded, does he still have to make Beihou himself...... That's right, after all, it's a nobleman under his jurisdiction!"

Tang Chuxue said, and chuckled again: "Jiang Xingchen, you really gave me a big surprise......

Wu Tianfeng, who withdrew from Pingjun City, was also a little speechless when he saw such a reward, but after thinking about it, he calmed down, if it weren't for Tang Chuxue's recommendation, Jiang Xingchen really wouldn't have been able to come, then his Seventh Army would definitely not have the current scenery, and it is estimated that more than half of the soldiers would have to be shrouded in horse leather.

Wu Tianfeng's mentality here is stable, Chen Xuangan of the Third Legion, Wei Ning of the Sixth Legion, and the other three legion commanders are not calm. As high-level military officials, of course they knew the whole war, and they were so envious and jealous of Wu Tianfeng and Tang Chuxue in their hearts that they were crazy.

"Jiang Xingchen, it turned out to be this kid again, how could Wu Tianfeng's life be so good, you can use the sheep intestines and drums you just made, the weather is cold, there is no food, and when the siege is unfavorable, this kid can actually hit tens of thousands of catties of fish under the ice...... And Tang Chuxue, you arranged Old Man Tang by that kid's side, don't do it for this purpose......"

Several legion commanders regretted it at this time, even if they owed a little more favor, they had to find someone of their own to go to that kid's side as a guard!

When the captains of several major legions were envious and jealous, in the mansion of the Marquis of Hongyuan City, the Marquis of Dingbei was pondering: "Jiang Xingchen has such a great merit, don't mention it...... Didn't send me any message...... What does the Great mean by that?"

Standing up and pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back a few laps, Dingbei Hou suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "By the way, Jiang Xingchen still had a credit for overcoming terminal illness before...... I see, the Emperor is trying to protect him!"

In an instant, the Marquis of Dingbei understood the emperor's thoughts, although Jiang Xingchen was a typical example set by him, but he was promoted too quickly, if he continued to improve, it would definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction with the old-fashioned shili, especially those old stubborn people in the aristocratic management department, if he targeted that kid everywhere, it would be difficult for him to rise up in the future.

Now the emperor is not unsealed, but accumulates his credit, zuihou gags everyone's mouths.

Thinking about the reason, Dingbei Hou's heart suddenly opened, and he couldn't help but think of Jiang Xingchen's previous request.

"Expanding the territory, if even the emperor accumulates credit for him, this is not impossible......" The idea came out, and the heart of the Marquis of Dingbei was like grass, and the idea of playing the emperor immediately came out.

"Territory expansion, there are not many such rewards in the history of the empire, if it comes out of my territory...... Moreover, if Jiang Xingchen really won the reward for expanding the territory, it would definitely be a great boost to the emperor's promotion strategy!"

"Actually, judging from Jiang Xingchen's two merits, even if you give a reward for expanding your territory, it's barely enough, but since the emperor wants to suppress it, then ...... It looks like I'm going to go to the imperial capital in a while!"

Thinking of this, the Marquis of Dingbei no longer hesitated, immediately started to write a letter, and then sent it to the imperial capital.

Subsequently, he wrote a letter to Jiang Xingchen, handed it to his subordinates, and sent it to the Bauhinia Mercenary Group.

And at this time, Jiang Xingchen, who had suffered for many days, was finally carried back to his territory by the old man.
