Li Rui's words were only said after careful consideration.

After the arrival of Mrs. Yan and Fengming's war department, Chu Ning's strength was equal to that of Xiao Hongfei's loyal army. All in all, Chu Ning's confidence was a bit stronger than Xiao Hongfei's.Although Li Rui has the status of a royal family member, although she has the title of Sima in the army, and although she has mastered the materials seized by the Zhongwu Army and the Zhaoyi Army, in essence, her importance in this interest group has gradually been overshadowed by others. Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei pulled away.

In terms of comprehensive strength, Chu Ning temporarily ranks first, followed by Xiao Hongfei and Li Rui. Therefore, Li Rui had to find a way to strengthen his importance in this group. With a stable position and mutual interests, she can get the full help of this group when she needs it in the future.

Therefore, she was already thinking about how to use her limited influence in the court to support Xiao Hongfei and Chuning to the upper echelons and take down the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi.Although these two places suffered from military disasters, Li Rui believed that with Mrs. Yan's planning, the Zhongwu and Zhaoyi armies stationed there, and the big merchant Bai Su backing them, these two corrupt places still had great potential.

As long as the two counties are in her own hands, after the truce, no matter whether the imperial court marry her to Xianbei, Donghu, or Goguryeo, she can use the power of Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei to protect herself.

Of course, Li Rui also had to bear the risk of Xiao Hongfei and Chuning breaking their promises. Therefore, when betting on both sides, Li Rui inevitably placed some emphasis on Chuning.One is because Chu Ning's strength is slightly stronger than Xiao Hongfei's, and the other is because of Chu Ning's character—although she is always talking about benefits and is usually very afraid of death, but it depends on how generously she treats the generals under her command , it is also enough to see that this person's heart is not mean.

That's why Li Rui proposed to let Chuning stay here to resettle the people - it's not that Li Rui believes that Chuning is good at civil affairs, but she thinks that Chuning should be given a chance to practice, otherwise, wait She pushed Chu Ning to the position of governor of Liaodong County, but found that other than talking empty words, he had no ability to stand alone, so it was a waste of time.

In this way, after the discussion, Li Rui, Xiao Hongfei, Madam Yan and other generals unanimously decided that Chu Ning led the Weimin Army and Zhaoyi Army to stay here to resettle the people, and Madam Yan also stayed to help her manage the army and control the entire army war situation.

Yan Lingge led Fengming's war department to go deep into the Xianbei's rear and became the main force of the war department—because Fengming's war department was all cavalry and had five hundred horse armors, even if Xianbei sent back [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, Yan Lingge also had Enough grasp to escape smoothly.

The Zhongwu Army was divided into two, 8000 of whom were led by Xiao Hongfei, and went to Beiping County to search and kill Xianbei stragglers through Liucheng.The remaining 2000 people, led by Mao Gui, followed Li Rui across the sea to Jicheng, borrowed troops from Jicheng as the princess of Li Ruiying Chuan, or mobilized Gu Wenxiong's cavalry left in Wuzhong County to be responsible for the battle in Yuyang County. Search and kill.

In this way, the best battle situation is that Li Rui can borrow soldiers and horses or mobilize the cavalry of Wuzhong County, and cooperate with Xiao Hongfei and Yan Lingge to deal a lot of damage to the tents and looting soldiers and horses in the rear of Xianbei. The loss of casualties forced Xianbei to divide its troops to rescue, allowing Gu Wenxiong to get out of the city.

And the worst battle situation is that Xianbei would rather bear a large number of losses of soldiers and horses than defend Pinggang; or they forcefully break through Pinggang City before Yan Lingge, Xiao Hongfei, and Li Rui start their layout; or Gu Wenxiong Can't stand it anymore, all the weapons and armor under his command were cheated by Xianbei, and Xianbei, who had the upper hand, took the opportunity to counter-kill Yan, Xiao, and Li.

The vast area and the large number of troops involved in this battle have completely surpassed the level of "combat", which is enough to be called a "battle". , It is impossible to start at all-after all, in some respects, the commander of this rescue campaign actually replaced Gu Wenxiong, the general of the Eastern Expedition.

Therefore, Madam Yan stayed by Chuning's side. In addition to controlling the battle situation and helping Chuning manage the army, when the situation was critical, she could also lead the Zhaoyi Army to support the rescue, leaving Chuning and the Weimin Army to stick to the rear, so as not to A victory or defeat will bring nothing back—whether it is a battlefield or a battle, as long as the leader is a steady veteran with a more strategic vision, he will basically not suppress all the troops when the victory or defeat is still in the balance, but will adopt layer upon layer. The method of advancement is to play games with each other.

But no matter what the situation of the battle is, Muyang City still has to be operated. Although it is extremely desolate, the mountains in the north can stop the Xianbei cavalry, and there is an ice-free port, and it is backed by Huang County. From the current point of view, this is indeed a good thing place.

After such an agreement, Xiao Hongfei, Li Rui, and Mrs. Yan disembarked one after another, and each reorganized their troops, selected auxiliary soldiers, supplemented casualties, repaired their armor, and regrouped.

It was only then that Chu Ning had time to talk to Bai Su, and asked about the doubts that had been in his heart since he met her: "Why only nine sea ships were transferred this time? There are still a lot of cattle and sheep on the shore that need to be transported back to Donglai. We have to send troops across the sea again... I am afraid that these ships will be a little nervous to use."

Bai Su has a total of ten seagoing ships, and Chuning knows it, but now that one is missing, naturally he has to ask.

When all the followers were discussing the military situation, Bai Su did not say a word, looking at Chuning at this moment, his eyes were soft, and he replied slowly: "In the middle of last month, when the merchant ship was returning from Yilou and passing Silla, it encountered a Japanese soldier. Navy, one ship was robbed."

I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss him so much. Seeing you now, I saw that this person has grown taller, and even the undulating curves have become more obvious. It's just that he looks tired and haggard, which makes people feel distressed.

"The loss is heavy?" The war situation in Youzhou has not been settled yet, and the Wa Kingdom came to join in the fun again. Chuning suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Do you need to send troops to the Wa Kingdom?"

"In terms of calculation, the merchant ship and the goods it carried are only ten thousand yuan surplus." Bai Su said: "Let's take care of it on your side, and then we can settle it with him."

"That's good." Chu Ning nodded and said, "Everything here is a new start. Grain, livestock, and people are all gathered here. If Goguryeo gets the news, it will have to stare at it. Don't be careless."

"According to what you said in your previous letter, this time, in addition to sending six thousand shi of grain, you also brought a lot of merchants to sit here." Bai Su said, smiling slightly: "I also bought it for you from Mr. Huo. They snatched 32 students who just graduated from Mengxue."

"Only 32?" Chuning heard it and complained bitterly: "Didn't you say that Mengxue recruited more than [-] people in April?"

"Back then, life was not as good as it is now. Meng Xue took care of food and food, so he could naturally get people. Nowadays, life is better, and every household is not short of the ration. Many people have studied for a while, barely counting copper coins, and have no money. When I finished my studies, I went to find my own way out." Bai Su also suppressed her smile, frowned and said: "Now there are a lot of merchants in Huang County, and they are building county roads, and there are servants everywhere. It is also a lot higher than before, and these people who have learned from the beginning, because they can barely read and count money, are most in short supply... It is said that the lowest servant salary can get more than [-] yuan."

Before Chu Ning’s Eastern Expedition, the average monthly income of ordinary coolies was about [-] yuan, but these Mongolian students can now get more than [-] yuan as domestic servants, which is almost doubled. This is enough to support a family of four or five people. In Chuning's previous life, he could be regarded as a white-collar worker... It's no wonder that these people are unwilling to finish their three-month elementary school and stay until they graduate.

According to the regulations of Mengxue, after three months of study, if you want to get a certificate of completion, you must be able to write a thousand characters silently, and you must be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide within four digits, and the current social and economic needs of Huang County, It is generally lower than this level, so naturally not many people are willing to spend time to get this certificate of completion.

There were more than 300 people, and only a total of more than 100 people stayed and studied for enough time. Only less than 60 people had reached the level of graduation, and Huo Yunshu's side was just an empty shelf. It was really worthwhile to give Chuning 32 people over.

Chuning had no choice but to put his hopes in the future, and asked, "After graduation, how much has Mengxue recruited?"

"Before crossing the sea, I heard that only a hundred people were accepted."

"so little……"

Chuning was immediately discouraged and couldn't help complaining: "A Su, what do you mean by these common people? I used to be so poor that I had nothing to eat or drink, and when I was so poor that I sold myself into slavery, I respected those literate scholars so much. Very. Now that I have the opportunity to learn Chinese and characters, but everyone doesn’t know how to cherish it, and just dawdles around... It’s really annoying!"

"Huh?" Bai Su was slightly startled, then looked at Chuning, her eyes brightened, and said casually, "So, they are common people."

"That's right." Chuning sighed, "Hey..."

"Just now, what did you call me?" Bai Su suddenly changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Call me again, how about it?"

"...A Su."

"No!" Bai Su shook his head and said, "The tone is wrong, and the voice is wrong."

……

Chuning was a little confused, what happened to Bai Dangjia?In broad daylight, he actually came to investigate the voice and tone of calling her name?Good heart.

Fortunately, Bai Su didn't hold on to this topic, and soon sent someone to call a group of businessmen to introduce them to Chuning one by one.

Basically, all the merchants in Donglai and Bai Su who had a good cooperation were brought here this time, and Geng Shou was among them. Seeing this famous female general greet everyone, he secretly thought in his heart, what should he do? To build a relationship with her, after all, this female general's ability to amass money is quite rare - the Daqing court has fought against the surrounding forces for many years, but there has never been a general who has obtained so many captures. There was a lot of oil, and even the people who yelled at them also ate real meat.

Geng Shou was still pretending to be prudent, but Song Hong, the patriarch of the Song Clan, after saluting, spoke directly to Chuning: "I heard that General Chu not only made great achievements in this battle, but also gained a lot... Unknown, the general thinks How to dispose of these seizures?"

"The harvest is a little bit, but it's not very rich." Chuning said with a gentle smile, "What a good idea is Patriarch Song?"

"Of course there are." Song Hong said hastily: "If the general and the Bai family agree, my Song family, Yu family, and Xu family are willing to buy live sheep from the general at the price of Donglai Port, and find the ship by myself. Go back to Donglai."

Although the two had a good relationship before, Geng Shou couldn't help cursing the shameless old thief in his heart at this moment, and quickly said: "My Geng family is willing to increase the price of Patriarch Song by another ten yuan per sheep." money."

When Song Hong saw that it was Geng Shou who was speaking, he was very angry.After the previous batch was seized and transported back to Donglai, Bai Su and Zhu Erxi killed all the cattle and made them into jerky, taking the biggest profit.When the sheep got off the boat and landed, they were preempted by Geng Shou and other members of the Donglai business gang.Song Xian and others got the news later, and talked to Geng Shou for a long time with a shy face, but Geng Shou was unwilling to introduce him to Bai Su, so he could only buy high-priced sheep from Geng Shou and others, and then transported them to other counties. To sell, painstaking effort, but earn the least.

Chuning smiled lightly as he watched these merchants slaying each other's prices, but he was planning in his heart how to get the maximum benefit from these merchants.

"Let's ask General Chu to speak." At the end of the battle, Yu Xin, the Patriarch of the Yu family, said: "As long as General Chu speaks, I will be willing to obey."

"If that's the case, then I'll say something to the general." With a smile on his face, Chuning said seriously, "You are all people who have experienced shopping malls, but why do you only focus on these cattle and sheep, but you can't see the big benefits?"
