If Chu Lixuan knew what the commander was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud, but his strict character would not laugh if he knew.

At this time, he was sleeping happily and sweetly with his wife in his arms, while the others were too excited to sleep and were working on the farm.

Most people were cutting down trees to build stables, and some were washing horses. Anyway, they were all busy.

King Zhenbei took his soldiers to attack Uritu after breakfast. The North Vietnamese soldiers had recovered after two hours of rest.

They happened to be full of anger and had nowhere to vent their anger. In this battle, both sides exerted themselves to the best of their abilities and fought happily before calling the drums to call back.

During the scolding between Uritu and King Zhenbei, the North Vietnamese people knew about this battle, and the Zhenbei army did not gain any benefits.

Their North Vietnamese horses were snatched away by Emperor Dongchen's men, so Wuritu could only verbally negotiate with King Zhenbei to stop the war.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Zhenbei Army suffered losses of more than 30,000 people, and the North Vietnamese Army suffered about 50,000 losses.

The third prince was the vanguard officer this time and had no say. The second prince, the supervisor, did have a say, but he was so frightened that he huddled in the room and did not come out.

King Zhenbei was seriously injured and wanted to stop fighting. The two sides decided happily, leaving only 200,000 of the 300,000 troops brought out by Wu Ritu.

Of the 200,000 horses brought out, less than 50,000 were left, including those killed in battle. The North Vietnamese did not gain anything.

King Zhenbei lost a total of 100,000 soldiers in this battle, including 10,000 more wounded soldiers. They were going to run out of food again, and they would not get any benefits if they did not stop fighting.

This war ended in three days. The only person who benefited was Chu Lixuan, but the King of Zhenbei didn't know it, and the North Vietnamese Army didn't know Chu Lixuan's existence.

When King Zhenbei returned to the military camp, he counted the disabled soldiers and found that there were nearly 10,000 soldiers. He said sadly.

"You have paid a price for the Dongchen Imperial Court, and I should have rewarded you well, but as everyone knows, the Imperial Court not only does not have military pay, but also requires us to pay food and grass.

You can choose to stay with me and survive two more months of hunger, or you can choose to go to Mud Town, or you can choose to retire and go home."

King Zhenbei calculated that if all the 10,000 wounded soldiers went to Lanni Town, they could still exchange for two months' rations.

At the same time, he can save a lot of medicinal materials and food. He is very happy to have the best of both worlds and cannot find them even with a lantern.

However, as the supreme commander-in-chief, King Zhenbei, he was embarrassed to say directly that he wanted to exchange them for food. That would be too cold to the hearts of the soldiers.

The disabled soldiers also remembered that a few months ago, they made bricks every day in Lanni Town and had a full meal every time.

Although they are disabled, they can still make bricks, but I don’t know if Mr. Chu still wants them!

"Your Majesty, please take them to Mud Town!" said a lame general.

Because he is a general, he knows most of the inside story. Last time, they used soldiers who were disabled while hunting wild animals.

There were also old and weak people who came to seek refuge with them and exchanged a lot of food with Master Chu. What a pity! That food was handed over to the court.

"Huaicheng, have you really decided? Your Wei family still has a great status in the capital. Just because you are a third-grade general, if you return to the capital, you can still find a casual position and receive the imperial salary."

The King of Zhenbei also thought highly of Wei Huaicheng. The Wei family was a big family in Dongchen Kingdom, although they did not receive the title of Prime Minister.

However, the children of the Wei family were both civil and military, with the most children below the third rank being the most important, and they were highly valued by the emperor.

"Thank you for the kindness of the prince. This time, my leg was seriously injured. The military doctor concluded that I will be lame for the rest of my life. What hope can I have? I will go to Lanni Town to make bricks and spend the rest of my life."

At this time, Wei Huaicheng didn't know that all his tribesmen were already on their way to Lanni Town!

Wei Huaicheng is Wei Dabin's sixth uncle. He is thirty-five years old this year and has stayed in the north with King Zhenbei for eighteen years.

He was promoted from a soldier to a third-grade hussar general. His wife, children, and children are all in the capital. He married a daughter of the Nie family, so his parents and parents-in-law are all on the way to Lanni Town.

Wei Huaicheng thought that he was lame and would be too embarrassed to return to the capital to see his family, so he wanted to stay in Lanni Town making bricks, farming, and spend the rest of his life peacefully.

During the Chinese New Year, when the Northern Army moved to Lanni Town, Wei Dabin and others were mining iron ore in the mountains and making weapons.

Therefore, what Wei Huaicheng and the others saw were old and new prisoners, but as a third-grade general, he had met Chu Lixuan and his wife.

"Since Huaicheng has already decided, I won't persuade you any more. If you have any difficulties, you can come back to me." King Zhenbei said sincerely.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now." Wei Huaicheng gave a big salute and then left.

He wanted to finally make some contribution to the Zhenbei Army and took these 10,000 disabled soldiers to exchange for a batch of food for his brothers.

Wei Huaicheng loudly said to the disabled soldiers: "When we go to Lanni Town, we can exchange two months of food for our brothers. You can go with me, or you can choose to stay. We will have it in a few days."

The food is eaten.”

"General, I am willing to follow the general to Lanni Town."

"My subordinate is willing to go with the general."

Anyone who wants to go with them has elite soldiers and strong generals, and there are no weak soldiers under them, so they all go willingly.

Although they went to exchange for food, their belief was to use their last remaining energy for the imperial court. This was their honor.

The soldiers were just shouting and cheering from behind, so none of them were injured. The injured were all the elite soldiers who rushed to the front.

There are also some who were injured by accident. They were weak people to begin with. I heard that they could come back in exchange for food soon, so they would definitely choose to stay in the Zhenbei military camp.

Neither King Zhenbei nor General Wei Huaicheng would force anyone. King Zhenbei thought that they also needed people to farm the land now.

Therefore, he said that those who stayed were very welcome, as long as someone was willing to exchange food.

Those who stayed saw that the prince not only did not dislike them, but also spoke encouraging words to them. They felt that their choice was very wise.

Only when Wei Huaicheng and the others arrived at Lanni Town three days later did they realize how wise their decision was.

This time Bingpo and his men sent them there. Although the people sent this time were all disabled soldiers, they were once elite soldiers and strong generals.

King Zhenbei didn't know whether it was because he felt guilty or because he would soon have to replace grain. He ordered the Huotou Army to make all the remaining grain into dry food.

It was enough dry food for more than 9,000 people to eat along the way, so Wei Huaicheng and others were very grateful to the King of Zhenbei.

The enthusiasm of the people in the castle has not cooled down after three days, and everyone is working hard right now.

I heard the major general guarding the castle galloping past on horseback, shouting that he was looking for Master Chu and his wife.
