    The reward ceremony went very quickly, but for more than half an hour, hundreds of soldiers who had made great achievements received their due rewards.

    And Ji Yue, who was sitting on the tiger-skin chair, was expressionless and silent, but the gaze in his gloomy eyes was getting colder and colder!

    This merit-rewarding party is a perfect opportunity to win people¡¯s hearts!  Even if you can't handle Xue Wanche, if you can recruit a few of these hundreds of generals to your command, you can be considered to have gained a foothold in the army, and they may be of great use in the future.

    "It's a pity that Xue Wanche didn't leave him any room for such an opportunity. He took over everything by himself and presided over the merit-rewarding meeting from beginning to end. He, Ji Yue, didn't even have a chance to open his mouth.

    As soon as the merit-rewarding meeting was over, Ji Yue said nothing and walked away with a dark face and rolled up his sleeves.

    Xue Wanche looked at Ji Yue's retreating back, a trace of disdain suddenly appeared on his face, and he whispered: "You little bastard, if you want to fight with me, you are too young! I am the master of my territory, so you have no part in it!"  "

    Turning around to watch the generals leaving the steps, Xue Wanche suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Haozi, get over here!"

    Zhou Hao was walking out of the palace. When he heard Xue Wanche's call, he turned around and ran over and asked, "General, what do you want from me?"

    "This time, your boy kills the most enemies in the army. Your contribution is greater than others, not less! But today you can only watch others get promoted and make money, but you only got a thousand taels of silver. Don't you feel a little bit?  Isn't it fair?" Xue Wanche said with a smile.

    Zhou Hao grinned and replied: "I chose my own path, and I don't want to be an official. Who can blame me? Besides, with these one thousand taels of silver and the military exploits that can be exchanged for martial arts, I  I¡¯m already satisfied!¡±

    Xue Wanche laughed and said: "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it and will make others jealous! Don't compare yourself with others. This is not your goal. Your future may be greater than theirs. For you,  This army is not a good place. Now the Beiyan Army is still protected by me, and those messy things can't get in for the time being, but it will be hard to say in the future."

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

    Zhou Hao completely saw the performance of Xue Wanche and Ji Yue at the merit recognition meeting just now.  Although he didn't understand power struggles, his intuition told him that if people like Ji Yue were allowed to join the army, the end of Beiyan, surrounded by powerful enemies, would not be far away.

    If nothing else, if your seventh prince joins the army, how can those eldest princes, third princes, fifth princes, etc. be willing to take second place?  No matter how you think of it, you have to get involved in the army, right?  By then, there will be many factions in the army, fighting for power and profit, and busy with internal fighting. How can they think about resisting foreign enemies?

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

    It seems that Xue Wanche¡¯s reputation as the great general of the country is not given in vain!  Without him to control the army, which was the foundation of the country, Beiyan would have ceased to exist long ago.

    Xue Wanche continued: "As long as you understand, go back and practice your martial arts skills for me. We are going to go to war in a few days, so you must be well prepared and not slack off at all!"

    Zhou Hao grinned: "You don't need to remind me, General. Do you think I have ever been lazy?"

    Xue Wanche waved his hand: "You are a hard-working kid, go away, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"

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

    Xue Wanche looked at Zhou Hao's back and suddenly thought of his son and daughter thousands of miles away. He felt a little guilty in his heart and sighed slightly: "It's been two years since I've been back to the capital, and I don't know Yan'er."  How's it going with Hu'er! Is Hu'er as strong and strong as this brat?"

    ?¡­

    In the next few days, hundreds of thousands of troops were resting in Pingcheng.  During this period, the Beiyan Right Route Army fought all the way along the coast to Pingcheng. The two armies finally joined together, with a total of more than 200,000 people.

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

    More than twenty days later, the belated left army finally cleared the Fusang enemy on the Gaima Plateau and rushed to Pingcheng to join forces.  By this time, the Fuso army had been completely wiped out in the entire northern Goryeo.

    Within two months of entering Goryeo, the Beiyan Expeditionary Force fought more than 20 battles, annihilating a total of 190,000 enemies, capturing more than 10,000 prisoners, and seizing countless grain, grass and baggage.  And drove more than 200,000 Fusang garrison troops to southern Goryeo.  The Beiyan army itself lost more than 34,000 people to death and more than 16,000 people were seriously injured.  This start is not yetwrong.

    But the Fusang people who suffered a lot learned the lesson and hid in several important towns in southern Goryeo. No matter how provocative the Northern Yan Army was, they refused to come out to fight the Northern Yan Army and assumed a stand-alone posture.

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

    And the strategy of night attack can never be repeated. It is almost impossible to capture the city heavily guarded by the Fuso people with minimal casualties.  The only way is to lure the Fuso people out, have a decisive battle in the wild, and eliminate most of the Fuso army in one fell swoop.

    "It's a pity that Fusang people are not fooled."  Still relying on Xue Wanche, he sent several cavalry teams in turn 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 could not hold on, so they became more and more courageous, and the distance to the southern part of Goryeo became farther and farther.  There were even two cavalry teams that had already advanced to a place more than a thousand miles away from Pingcheng. After bypassing the Korean capital in one fell swoop, they directly raided the Fuso people's grain and grass supply lines and burned thousands of carts of grain and grass.

    The food and grass supply line is the lifeline!  Fusang people may not want victory, territory, or even dignity and face, but they cannot want food and grass!

    The grain and grass supply line was threatened by the Beiyan cavalry, and the Fusang people who could not retreat finally couldn't hold it in any longer and quietly started to move.  Moreover, this movement moved the whole army. The elite Fusang Army, huddled in several important towns, quietly gathered together and laid a dragnet for the Beiyan Cavalry that was deep behind enemy lines.  Just waiting for any prey that is too courageous to crash into the net.

    Soon after the Fusang people laid the big net, the brave prey appeared.  And the prey was none other than the three thousand cavalry led by Fatty Hou!

    In the fierce battle to capture Pingcheng, the pro-barracks did not have any impressive results. Then they stayed in Pingcheng for a full month, doing nothing all day long.  Fatty Hou, who had just been promoted to Tuanzheng, was a new official. He pestered Xue Wanche all day long, shouting that he wanted to go to war.

    Xue Wanche, who was annoyed by Fatty Hou, finally relented and released the most elite tigers in the Beiyan army.  In addition, two thousand Qingqi were drawn from the Qingqi battalion and assigned to Hou Fatty for unified command.  It was precisely because of Xue Wanche's decision that completely changed the course and outcome of this war!
