Chapter 16: Food and military pay have been secured!

Xu Beichen ignored them, got on his horse and rushed forward.

Before leaving, he looked at Li Sisheng meaningfully.

How the soldiers would subsequently implement his plan was entirely up to Li Sisheng!

And Li Sisheng did indeed live up to Xu Beichen's high hopes.

All the generals were still staring at the direction Xu Beichen left.

There was a hint of confusion in their expressions.

"General, what does he mean?"

"Are we going to rebel?"

"Hush! If the general really has rebellious intentions, why should we bother? But don't let the general hear it, otherwise I'm afraid he will punish you severely!"

"But he..."

As everyone discussed, they became more and more confused.

I'm really not sure what the general's intention is!

"Cough cough..."

At this time, a cough was heard, attracting everyone's attention.

Li Sisheng bowed to the generals and smiled slightly.

"There is no need to speculate on the general's intentions."

"You just need to remember to follow the general's orders in everything."

"As for the court's recall of the general, please wait and see what happens. I believe the general is..."

After giving everyone some reassurance, he followed Xu Beichen and rushed towards the Jinzhou city gate.

The generals were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

……

"Congratulations, General!"

"Welcome back to the city, General!"

At the gate of Jinzhou City.

As soon as Xu Beichen arrived, he heard loud cheers coming from the city.

At a glance.

Under the guard of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers, the main roads in the city were already crowded with people.

People from Jinzhou City gathered everywhere.

The Northern Liang Iron Cavalry has always had strict military discipline. Even when stationed in Jinzhou City, they did not harm the civilians.

Even back then, Jinzhou City was invaded by the Northern Mang army.

However, after his predecessor led his army to counterattack back to Jinzhou City, he did not allow his troops to do anything that would offend the people.

Therefore, the people of Jinzhou City all praised the Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

Now that Xu Beichen has returned triumphantly, it is only normal for the people to come to welcome him.

Xu Beichen glanced at the crowd in front of him, and his eyes quickly focused on the leading few people.

Among them were men, women, old and young, all dressed elegantly.

The temperament is also obviously different from that of ordinary people.

Among these people, Xu Beichen was able to recognize a few relatively familiar faces based on his previous life's memories.

These people are the heads of the wealthy and powerful families in Jinzhou!
In his previous life.

When you open the Twenty-Four Histories, you will hardly ever escape from those familiar surnames.

And these surnames mean wealthy and powerful families that have lasted for thousands of years!

Although Jinzhou is located in the northern border of the Dayang Dynasty.

However, it is the largest state among the nine states of Dayang.

If there were no war, Jinzhou would be extremely prosperous!

Naturally, there are also wealthy families who have taken root in Jinzhou City.

"General Xu, we learned that the general has returned victoriously, and we have prepared a banquet in the city."

"Soldiers can go to the banquet at any time!"

Among the leading few people, an old man walked out with a smile and saluted to Xu Beichen who was still riding on his horse.

Xu Beichen recognized this old man, the head of the Feng family, Feng Xuejin.

But he didn't rush to answer.

Instead, he looked at the men, women, young and old behind Feng Xuejin.

He said calmly: "The people from the Jinzhou City families have added a few new faces!"

Among them, there is actually a charming and beautiful lady and a beautiful and elegant young woman!

In this era where men are valued more than women, it is almost impossible for a woman to take power in a noble family!

As Xu Beichen finished speaking, the two women stepped forward and bowed to Xu Beichen.

"The widow Zhao Liu greets the general. Her late husband passed away some time ago, leaving behind the Zhao family in Jinzhou, which is so big..."

As the beautiful lady spoke, her dark brows slightly frowned, with a look of resentment and sadness that made me feel pity for her.

Her eyes moved and fell on Xu Beichen again, making her charm even more apparent.

"I have no choice but to come out and show my face. I hope the general will forgive me."

Oh?
Hearing this, Xu Beichen couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"Zhao" is the surname of the Dayang Dynasty!

The Jinzhou Zhao family can be considered a branch of the royal family of the Dayang Dynasty.

Now this beautiful lady is able to take charge of the situation, but it is definitely not as simple as she says!
"I am Chen Qianyao from the Chen family. I am honored to meet you, General."

At this time, the young woman also walked forward and saluted Xu Beichen.

But compared to that beautiful lady, her attitude seemed to reveal a bit of coldness and sadness.

But she has an elegant and attractive appearance, bright eyes and white teeth. Even with this kind of behavior, she naturally gives people a sense of ease and joy.

Xu Beichen roughly knew that Chen Qianyao was the eldest daughter of the Chen family in Jinzhou.

"General, do we need to go back to the government office and rest now?"

At this time.

Zhang Yunshan and others had already rushed over and ignored the words of these family heads.

Xu Beichen even heard a hint of impatience in Zhang Yunshan's tone.

Xu Beichen looked back.

Then all the generals, like Zhang Yunshan, looked at these people from aristocratic families with contempt in their eyes.

In this regard.

Xu Beichen actually understood.

When the Northern Mang army occupied Jinzhou City, the first to surrender were these aristocratic families!

Especially since although the Zhao family is a royal family, the previous head of the Zhao family publicly announced that from now on, Jinzhou City would belong to Beimang!

This is also the reason why these families were able to survive.

But think of these.

Xu Beichen didn't show anything on the surface.

He inexplicably thought of a saying from his previous life - slaughter the rich!

Now the Beiliang Iron Cavalry is in urgent need of food and fodder and military pay, and it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate more food and fodder.

Then shouldn’t we provide some support to these noble families and gentry in Jinzhou?
The more I think about it.

The more Xu Beichen felt, the more the problem of food and military pay for the Beiliang Iron Cavalry had been solved!
He looked at Feng Xuejin and others again, and the smile on his face suddenly became much brighter.

"Everyone, please go back first!"

"The soldiers have just experienced a great battle and need to rest."

"I won't go to your party."

After hearing Xu Beichen's words, Feng Xuejin and others did not show any dissatisfaction and responded quickly.

only.

For some reason, they could sense an inexplicable meaning from Xu Beichen's eyes, which were clearly full of smiles!

What they don't know is.

This is the look one gets when looking at gold, silver, and jewelry!

Followed by.

They then heard Xu Beichen's voice again.

"Please tell them to deliver the food to the soldiers first!"

Ok?
Everyone was stunned, looking somewhat bewildered.

He even thought he had misheard and that it was said by another general.

General Xu Beichen, the Great General of Zhenbei, has always been gentle in his attitude towards these aristocratic families.

I never meant to ask them for anything...

Xu Beichen, however, always had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was joking.

"I can't refuse your kindness, but I want to..."

"You won't let our Beiliang cavalry soldiers go hungry, right?"

Although his tone was full of smiles, everyone inexplicably felt as if they had fallen into a big pit!

　At this point, some readers will ask, "Author, author, Xu Beichen has so many subordinates, how do you keep track of them?"

　　OK, OK, here are the answers: Zhang San (Zhang Yunshan), Li Si (Li Sisheng), Wang Wu (Wang Wu)
