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

"General, we are preparing to march to Yongzhou in the spring, and we are really too busy to do anything else!"

"General, I think this young general is very brave. Now is the time to use him. Why don't you give him a chance?"

"General, we still have to send troops to Yongzhou, so we really can't spare any manpower!"

They have to go to a small county, and even if they win, they won't get any credit. They also have to consume food and supplies. Now no one has much food and supplies, it's not worth it!

Ma Feng actually intends to promote a few of his men. Since they all look down on him, he will leave it to this young general!

"Well done! If you can get Zhao Nanshan's head back, Tian Maofeng's position will be yours!"

Shen Lanxi: "Thank you for your support, General. I will complete the mission at my death!"

The vigorous recruitment campaign has begun. This time there is no need to hide. She has been ordered to recruit soldiers, and the order from above is that the more the better!

"My lord, when are we going to kill Zhao Nanshan?" Liu Yanhui asked with a smile.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the body can be thrown into a pile of snow without rotting all winter.

At first they all thought that Shen Lanxi had a habit of picking up corpses, but they didn't expect that it could be of such great use.

I can only say that she really knows how to make the best use of things!

"In five days, I will have time to recruit soldiers!" After Shen Lanxi said this, Liu Yanhui and others understood.

After all, half of the soldiers they reported were dead or wounded. If they went to kill them now, the higher-ups would ask how they killed them. They couldn't say they killed them all alone, right?

Five days later, Shen Lanxi led a group of weak soldiers and slowly rushed to Shilipo!

The show has to be well-acted, with shoveling snow, digging tree roots and wild vegetables, and hunting, all of these have to be shown one by one on the road!

~

"General, the people from Baihe County have set out. They are all old, weak, sick and disabled, just like beggars. They can't walk anymore after walking for a while, and have to stop to dig up tree roots and wild grass to boil water to fill their stomachs!"

Ma Feng also suspected that there was something wrong with Lan Xi's promotion so quickly. Previously, there was an example of a subordinate taking advantage of a general's drunkenness and chopping off the general's head with a knife to get promoted. He specially ordered people to keep an eye on Baihe County, but he didn't expect it to be like this!

"General, this man only cares about military merit and not his life!" Ma Feng's subordinates sighed!

Ma Feng felt uncomfortable for a moment, and then he remembered that when he was collecting grain before, he had taken away eighty to ninety percent of the grain from the garrisons below. After recruiting soldiers, wouldn't there be enough food and fodder?

Even so, he did not agree to provide food and fodder!

"He is a brave and courageous soldier, and he is a good soldier who truly obeys military orders!" Ma Feng deliberately pulled Shen Lanxi out as an example. The next time someone complains to him about not having enough food and grass, let them learn from Lan Xi!

"Just withdraw, there's no need to keep watching!"

"Yes."

Ma Feng had no idea that what he heard now was what Shen Lanxi let him hear!

Someone had informed her of this long before the spies entered Baihe County.

If we march normally, we will arrive in less than a day.

Who made them all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there was thick snow on the ground?

But don't we have to walk slowly?

Shen Yuanjing took his men for a stroll in Shilipo, and it took them ten days to go back and forth.

Ten days later, Shen Lanxi presented the head of Zhao Nanshan, and was praised by Ma Feng. She was then appointed as the commander of four counties and was assigned a task.

After the spring begins, we will urge the four counties to cultivate land and make sure all the land is planted with grain before the solar term arrives!

It just so happens that the soldiers we have recruited recently are of varying quality, so it’s time to stop and rest!

After returning to Baihe County, Shen Lanxi threw away the commander's badge and called everyone to discuss the matter.

"Spread the news of Zhao Nanshan's murder. You can decide how to spread it!"

Liu Yanhui exclaimed, and said in a funny way: "Zhao Nanshan would rather die than surrender, and was beheaded by General Ma Feng himself. How admirable and lamentable!"

Wei Dongzhu: "It's too cheap for him."

Xiao Fang: "Then what should I do? Ma Feng is not a good person!" I can't praise Ma Feng for his loyalty and courage, right? No one will believe it even if I praise him!

Shen Lanxi: "Let's arrange it this way first. As for whether Zhao Nanshan is loyal or treacherous, it depends on who has the last laugh." As the saying goes, history is written by the victor!

"The next step is to train the troops and cultivate the land. Hu Zhu, Xiao Fang, and Yuan Jing will be in charge of the training. Cheng Zheng and others will be responsible for matters related to cultivating the land!"

"Recruit soldiers from all four counties, and have the magistrates of the remaining two counties come to see me!"

"After that, I will inspect the four county guards. In addition to the basic guards in the county, I will gather all the soldiers from the other four counties together for training!"

Liu Yan rolled her eyes and said, "There's no place that big!"

Shen Lanxi: "Then find a bigger place and expand it!"

Wei Dongzhu raised his eyebrows: "My lord, you want to build a military camp?"

"Military Fort!" Shen Lanxi unfolded the map and tapped a few locations on it.

"I will build military forts at these locations and use smoke signals as a signal. If one fort is in trouble, the other forts will immediately rush to support it. If anyone dares to move the fort, the remaining forts will attack together!"

Liu Yanhui and others immediately went to the selected place to take a look. After looking at it, everyone had a strange look on their faces.

The place she chose was either well-connected, or close to mountains and rivers, or occupied high ground. Not to mention building a fortress, even building a city would be the best choice!

"These two places are not under the lord's jurisdiction, right?" Liu Yan asked back.

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "Not now, but in the future!"

Look at the bragging. If it were someone else, they would have already laughed at him.

If it's her? Maybe it's possible!

"Ahem... Let's put these aside for now. The most important thing right now is supplies. We don't have enough food, cotton clothes, charcoal and herbs!" Liu Yanhui started to cry poor in a skillful manner!

Shen Lanxi sighed!

Maintaining an army is really expensive!

Wei Dongzhu: "Didn't the lord just get a warehouse of food and cotton clothes?"

Liu Yan replied, spreading her hands: "Not enough!"

Shen Lanxi put away the map with a snap.

"Come with me to raid Tian Maofeng's house!"

Are you blind to leave such a big fat pig alone and not slaughter it?

Liu Yan smacked her lips in response: "I actually forgot about Tian Maofeng!"

Tian Maofeng has been the commander of four counties for many years and is very rich!

Shen Lanxi personally led people there, and on the pretext of being familiar with the affairs, she extorted most of the money and food that had been divided among Tian Maofeng's subordinates.

As for the remaining small half, they have to take over the soldiers left by Tian Maofeng, so they can't do anything too extreme.

"My Lord, we have seized a total of 300 dan of grain, 6,000 taels of silver, and a box of jewels."

Shen Lanxi opened the box and took a look, sneering: "The number is wrong!"

The centurions, decurions, sergeants and others under Harada Shigemine were indignant. Lan Xi wanted to force them to death as soon as he arrived!

"Go check whether Tian Maofeng's relatives have transferred money, whether he has a mistress outside, and how many mistresses he has?"

Harada Maofeng's men froze. Damn it, no wonder they gave Tian Maofeng so many good things as filial piety, but only took away this little. It turns out that he even has a mistress.

As for why they were not Tian Maofeng's relatives? Could it be said that all the good-looking ones were dragged to their backyard?

An hour later

"My lord, Tian Maofeng has four mistresses outside. Each of them lives in a large mansion with warehouses filled with food, gold, silver and jewelry!"
