Chapter 407 The Frontier Army's Confusion
Anmi, the county captain of Juyong County, watched helplessly as Xu Yue kept saying that there would be no big moves, but in fact she had silently changed the entire Shanggu County.

He was so scared that he woke up every day and had to touch his neck carefully to make sure if he was still alive.

He didn't dare to continue drafting various documents for the female leader until he felt his pulse beating.

Back then, he was also a noble son of an aristocratic family with outstanding literary talents, but by chance, he accidentally became a military officer.

For so many years, he has suppressed his love for literary creation and worked hard to be a qualified military officer, thinking that he would suppress his nature in this way for the rest of his life.

Who would have thought that when the sky above his head changed and Xu Jiajun came, he would be able to pick up a pen and paper again and be the person he once wanted to be the most—as a military officer, show off his articles!

Although every document he drafted would be rejected by Xu Yue for revision, but!She would always say to him:

"Well written, don't write like that next time."

Well written?

This is the affirmation of him!
An Mi found that by following Xu Yue, she could always get the satisfaction she wanted.

Although the way to get it is sometimes weird.
At the end of November, the main force of Xianbei, which had been pursued by Xu Dalang for a whole month and a half, was completely annihilated by Xu's cavalry in Wancheng, the capital of Xianbei.

Immediately afterwards, the battle ended with Wang Pingping, who came for reinforcements, blasting King Xianbei's head off with a single shot.

After this battle, the major tribes of Xianbei suffered heavy losses. All the middle-aged men died in battle, and the remaining group of old and young women and children died of severe cold and hunger, and those who were sold were sold.

This sale is different from the usual captive slave sale.

They were sold to the Xu family army by the newly appointed King Xianbei in exchange for chips, which were used to offset the losses suffered by the Xu family army in this war, in exchange for the Xu family army to stop attacking Xianbei.

At the same time, it is not enough to just sell women and children. Almost all the cattle and sheep in the tribe are filled in the huge compensation.

In this way, the Xianbei tribe on the northern grassland will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Central Plains for at least the next hundred years.

The Xianbei people who got this result didn't know if they would regret it. They went south to provoke the Xu family army who could not be provoked.

The winter snow fell, and no one cared about how the defeated Xianbei people in the northern grassland would survive this cold winter.

The soldiers of the Xu family army who returned from victory have all received heavy military uniforms from Yuyang.

Half of this military uniform is white, fluffy and warm cotton like a cloud, and half is cashmere. Just a coat that can wrap from head to toe can keep you warm throughout the winter.

When the three thousand frontier soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield received such coats, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

As a team that was forcibly taken by the Xu family army halfway, they never thought that they could have the same treatment as the regular soldiers of the Xu family army.

The two completely different regimes, the old and the new, have completed the alternation in Shanggu County, and as representatives of the old forces, what they thought at the beginning was just to use this military exploit in exchange for their lives.

But the frontier army also felt the unusualness of the soldiers of the Xu family army during the joint battle for more than a month.

Unlike their rough guys who don't know a single word, Xu Jiajun's brothers can write and count, and their brains are smarter than theirs.

So in this battle, they can't get any credit at all.

However, after retreating from the battlefield, the young general Xu Jiajun who was in charge of statistics carefully recorded the achievements of each of them with pen and paper.

The young general of statistics smiled at them and said, "Go to your respective centurions to receive the rewards you deserve."

After spending so long with the soldiers of the Xu family army, the frontier soldiers all know that the soldiers of the Xu family army are called volunteers.

The so-called voluntary refers to soldiers who voluntarily join the Xu family army and go to the battlefield voluntarily without any military pay.

For the frontier soldiers who used to be paid by the army, it was even more excessive than the bullying of the soldiers by the generals in the old days.

Fortunately, the Xu family army still took care of the food, clothing and housing of the volunteers, otherwise, the frontier soldiers thought, there must be countless deserters.

It's too much to go to the battlefield to fight with your life, but the Xu family army doesn't pay the army!

However, the slap in the face came very quickly. When they took Wancheng, a Xu family soldier from the same team excitedly wrestled with them and said:
"I killed five Xianbei soldiers today, and I also completed the first-class task of climbing the wall and planting the flag. This time, I can count as a first-class merit no matter what. When the reward is sent to my home, my father Mother can go to the government to get ten more acres of land!"

Ten acres of land?
The frontier soldiers of the same team looked at that Xu Jiajun in surprise. This guy was indeed a fierce guy, and he always rushed to the forefront every time he charged.

This momentum was incomprehensible to the frontier soldiers.

Xu Jiajun would definitely reward the soldiers who successfully completed the charge, but the frontier soldiers thought that this would not be too much.

In their past, the most rewarded had to be the vanguard of climbing the wall.

Regardless of life or death, as long as you join the Wall Climbing Vanguard, you can get an extra [-] yuan in military pay.

For their frontier army, [-] yuan is indeed very attractive, but only soldiers from extremely poor families, or who specialize in earning high rewards for this purpose, will take the initiative to join the wall-climbing vanguard.

But Xu Jiajun's brothers are different, each of them will rush forward without hesitation, if they are afraid that they will not make it to the front, they don't even think about it, and they will die the fastest if they rush to the front.

In the past, the front soldiers couldn't understand why the Xu family soldiers were so brave, but now, listening to what the Xu family soldiers on the same team said, they suddenly understood.

All Xu Jiajun volunteers can exchange military merits for land!
The first-class merit has ten mu of top-grade farmland, the second-class merit has two mu of top-grade farmland, and three mu of medium-grade land, and the third-class merit can also get three mu of medium-grade farmland.

And for these rewarded fields, only [-]% of the grain tax is charged, and the remaining [-]% of the income is the soldiers themselves.

Volunteers are all poor civilians. For farmers, nothing is more important than land.

The reason why they dare to rush to the front every time is because they want to win a few more acres of land for their family.

Thinking of the rewards Xu Jiajun received from the same team, the frontier soldiers couldn't help but look forward to what rewards they would get from the centurion.

It doesn't matter whether there is military pay now, because apart from the fact that they ate very badly under the difficult conditions when they were chasing King Xianbei in the grassland, most of the time, the special cook team in Xu's army would prepare hot noodle soup for the soldiers pimple.

This food is much better than before.

If Dun Dun can eat like this, who cares about the little military salary in the past?
Especially on the day when Wancheng was captured, General Wang's reinforcements also came, and they also ate extra meatloaf.

I heard that those Xu family soldiers who made the first-class meritorious service also drank a sip of the immortal syrup with endless aftertaste.

 It's another day to ask for monthly tickets~~~ Qiuqiu!The officials give some monthly tickets~
