Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Sun Zhong had been wandering anxiously outside Shen Lanxi's mansion for three days. Ever since the last peace talks, Shen Lanxi had forced Abe Hiroshi to retreat with a long sword, not only preventing Abe Hiroshi from gaining any advantage, but also causing him to lose two thousand dan of food and fodder to them.

This was undoubtedly a boost to the Northern Expedition Army.

God knows that after their Northern Expedition Army arrived in the Northwest, they suffered setbacks and defeats one after another, and their prestige in the Northwest was completely lost.

Now that this matter has spread, it is not only an encouragement to their Northern Expedition Army, but also an encouragement to the people of Northwest China.

This is how peace talks should be conducted!

Sun Zhong secretly regretted his previous disrespect to Shen Lanxi, but was also worried about his face, so he was in such an awkward situation that he didn't even dare to knock on the door.

"General Sun, is there anything I can do for you?" Qian Feng came out after reporting on official business, but he didn't expect Sun Zhong to still be there.

When he went in just now, Sun Zhong was there. He had been in there for nearly an hour, and he was still there.

He had already guessed the reason in his heart and just thought it was funny. He didn't show it on his face, after all, he was a colleague and he had to give him face.

When Sun Zhong saw Qian Feng coming, he touched his nose and walked towards him shamelessly.

"It's Deputy General Qian, what a coincidence!"

Qian Feng suppressed his laughter and said, "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about. The imperial edict has been issued, and the express delivery of 800 miles is on the way. The general received the letter in advance and asked me to inform you to start preparing!"

Sun Zhong had been looking forward to the imperial edict so that he could go to Dongchuan to avenge his previous humiliation. Now when Qian Feng told him about this, he actually hesitated.

"Is that so? I guess the time is almost up. The time the general has bought for us is very precious!" Sun Zhong said sincerely.

Qian Feng: "The northwest is about to get cold, and the three Turkic tribes must be even more anxious, so the delay shouldn't be too long!"

Sun Zhong regained his composure and said seriously, "The three tribes may become desperate and harass the people of our Great Zhou!"

Qian Feng: "The general has anticipated this. Before the first wave of troops to suppress the rebellion arrives, please General Sun, take control of the northwest!"

Sun Zhong: "Of course, of course!"

He had one more thing. Seeing that Qian Feng was not in a hurry to leave, he immediately tried to test him: "Deputy General Qian, now the whole northwest knows that the general used a moon-companion sword to force Abe Hiroshi to retreat. If I ask the general to borrow this sword, will the general lend it to me?"

"I have no other ideas, I just want to boost the morale of the Northern Expedition Army." Sun Zhong said sincerely.

Qian Feng thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. If it's gold and silver, the general will definitely not be stingy. When we were in Dongchuan, we secretly gave the general a nickname, Shen Dafang." When he said this, he couldn't help laughing.

This nickname was suggested by Jinyi's brother-in-law Liu Yanhui, who was on the first list of people to be exchanged.

Sun Zhong couldn't quite believe it. How could a subordinate give his superior a nickname?

Qian Feng: "General Sun's use is legitimate, I believe the general will lend it." If you don't feel embarrassed!

After all, the Northern Expedition Army has been here for nearly three years, but they are still not as powerful as the general's sword.

Sun Zhong was skeptical as Qian Feng still had things to deal with. After watching Qian Feng leave, he turned around again and gritted his teeth before deciding to visit him.

Shen Lanxi was thinking similarly to Qian Feng.

"Okay, I can lend it to you. General, this is also for the stability of the northwest." Sun Zhong is a bit flexible. It's a pity that he followed Zhou Ruyuan!

Sun Zhong immediately thanked him and politely declined the request to have it delivered to his door. He would personally bring people to carry it later.

It would be embarrassing if it was delivered to your door!

At the same time, Shen Lanxi also received an imperial edict regarding food and fodder, which seemed encouraging but was actually ambiguous.

At night, the silver quietly entered the general's mansion.

"The two thousand dan of grain will be placed in Dashu Village. Our people will guard it."

"There are also cloth, cotton and charcoal. Place them around Dashu Village, one kind in each village!"

Shen Lanxi listened carefully. The food and other items that her third brother brought this time, plus the ones she had people bring before, were enough for the new Northern Expedition Army to eat until after the New Year.

Feng Wu: "The one called Ginkgo should make some moves in the next few days."

Shen Lanxi nodded: "Brother Wu, keep an eye on them, I'm relieved!"

The two came silently and left silently.

……

When Shen Lanxi went out for inspection again, she found that the people in the city had smiles on their faces. Before, they seemed to be soaked in bitter water. Even when they went out to do small business and had customers coming, they would not smile.

"General Shen!" The soldiers guarding the city immediately raised their voices when they saw Shen Lanxi coming.

Shen Lanxi nodded and continued her patrol!

She was accompanied by Wei Dongzhu and Qian Feng. These days, Wei Dongzhu helped them familiarize themselves with the local terrain.

"General, Qinglong Lake is not far from here. Every year during the dry season, nearby cities will send people to the lake to fetch water!"

The purpose of Shen Lanxi's trip was to see the Qinglong Lake.

Wei Dongzhu continued, "Qinglong Lake is very large, and many nearby tribes use the water from Qinglong Lake. As far as I know, the Oirat Turks and Tatars all use the water from this lake!"

Shen Lanxi had already looked at the map yesterday. The lake was very large, almost as large as one-third of the sea area of ​​Tianjin.

In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at Qinglong Lake.

"Although there is water here, no one dares to live here. The Turks often go hunting around Qinglong Lake."

Just now they passed through five or six villages along the way, and all the villages were empty.

Wei Dongzhu looked at the familiar Qinglong Lake, and memories emerged before his eyes.

He came back, but the person in his memory was gone.

Shen Lanxi glanced at Wei Dongzhu, and silently took Qian Feng to continue the investigation.

When he came back, the aroma of fish was already wafting in the air where Wei Dongzhu was.

"There are a lot of fish in Qinglong Lake. I just caught a few!"

Shen Lanxi looked at the complete set of cooking utensils and the food on the table and sat down.

"This lake is huge, but the surrounding villages are deserted. What a pity!" She took a bite of the browned grilled fish, and the fish meat was delicious!

Wei Dongzhu recalled: "In the past, there were business people on both sides, and there were fishing boats specializing in fishing in the lake!"

Qian Feng remained silent and just ate.

Although the Wei family army’s affairs were too heavy, the food was precious and could not be wasted.

Shen Lanxi: "When our people arrive, let's do some winter fishing first!"

Fish is also meat, and in winter, it is also a valuable nutritious product.

Wei Dongzhu: "Okay!"

After he said that, he placed the grilled fish in front of Shen Lanxi.

The fish is handled very cleanly, with the head, scales and bone-ridden tail removed, leaving only the middle section, which is then sprinkled with precious spices and sesame seeds, showing how much care was put into it!

Qian Feng took a look at the grilled fish in front of him. It was cooked, with the head, tail, belly and even scales still intact.

The person who was just thinking about not wasting food, now had a hint of disgust in his eyes, picked up the grilled fish, and walked away to process it!

Wei Dong glanced at Qian Feng's back, silently reached into his pocket, took out the tiger talisman that Shen Lanxi had returned to him, and handed it to Shen Lanxi.

"I want to give this to the general."
