The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Ren Tianye steadied himself.

"Investigate further, report back!"

Soon, the scout came to report again: "General, they, their commander, are coming towards you."

"There's only one person!"

"A burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist, carrying a tiger-headed, wolf-toothed spear."

Ren Tianye immediately realized what was going on.

Stone Tiger!

Before Sifang City, Shi Hu was a stray border soldier who had no choice but to become an outlaw. Because he had no equipment or horses, he was beaten to the ground by the elite troops of Sifang City.

So they came to surrender.

They brought 10,000 people.

Later, Ren Tianye asked Shi Hu to recruit people in the northern frontier in his name. After so many days apart, Shi Hu returned.

correct!

Shi Hu led his men directly back to Yunji City!

He might not be able to figure out his own whereabouts at first, but Yunji City was his stronghold, which he knew very well.

Thinking of this, Ren Tianye rode forward.

Worried about something going wrong, Zhang Shi followed.

Then, he saw Shi Hu riding a horse, carrying a tiger-headed wolf-tooth spear, galloping towards him. Upon reaching him, he immediately dismounted and bowed deeply, saying, "General, Shi Hu pays his respects!"

Ren Tianye also dismounted and helped him up.

He said, "General Shi Hu, it's been several days since we last met. I wonder how the matter I was asked to handle is progressing?"

Shi Hu was very excited and seemed quite emotional.

"General, I'm convinced! I'm truly convinced!"

"I am here on your orders to recruit soldiers in the northern frontier. As long as you tell them that you will give them 2.5 taels of silver per month, the vast majority of them will agree."

"Those who disagreed, I heard, agreed after you conquered Sifang City."

"That's it! I've recruited 30,000 men in one go!"

Thirty thousand!

Ren Tianye was pleasantly surprised!

There are a whopping 30,000!

This was something he hadn't expected!

He thought it would be very difficult for Shi Hu to recruit 10,000 troops for him, but he didn't expect to recruit 30,000 troops!

Zhang Shi, standing to the side, felt a pang of jealousy.

Even a newly surrendered general has more merits than him!

"I originally thought that once I recruited 30,000 men, I could come back and report!" Shi Hu continued, "but I didn't expect that on the way back, people kept contacting me."

"We wish to pledge our allegiance to you, Great General!"

"After asking around, I learned that Shanhe City was completely empty. Countless powerful families within it wanted to pledge allegiance, which led many scattered soldiers to want to join forces with the powerful families of Shanhe City to take over the city together."

"Knowing that I recruited people for you, they all pledged their allegiance to me."

"I hope that you, General, will lead them to take Shanhe City."

"So, I later recruited another 40,000 people!"

"A total of 70,000 people!"

"They're waiting right up ahead!"

Ren Tianye was even more pleasantly surprised.

Seventy thousand people?

isn't it? !

He clearly remembered that when Chuyun Ridge City chased after Ye Fan, they brought 3,800 men!

This also includes the Eight Hundred Army!

As a result, when he returned to Yunji City in the blink of an eye, he had...

170,000 people!

If we add the nearly ten thousand people in Yunji City!

He now commands 180,000 men!

With 180,000 soldiers, even if few of them are elite, they can sweep across the northern frontier and conquer the world with just a little training!

Has Ren Tianye finally gained enough power to claim a share of the spoils in this Great Yu realm?

He said, "Order them to set up camp on the spot!"

"This general will take some men to check on them immediately!"

"Take them back to Cloudridge City!"

Shi Hu quickly accepted the order and then said, "General, their plan is to attack Shanhe City and take it over. What do you think of this..."

"Shanhe City, I have taken it!"

Ren Tianye immediately went to mobilize troops.

After all, he couldn't possibly go alone into an army of 70,000 that he hadn't fully figured out.

This surprised Shi Hu.

"Shanhe City, has it been captured?"

"We've taken Shanhe City!" Zhang Shi muttered from the side.

"Really?" Shi Hu's previous rank was Assistant General, which was one rank higher than Zhang Shi, the Guerrilla General. But now that Zhang Shi had been following the General for a long time, he naturally dared not underestimate him.

With a very friendly expression, he said, "General Zhang Shi, you are truly remarkable!"

"They actually captured Shanhe City."

"Um!"

"General Zhang Shi, what's wrong? Why does your tone sound so sour?"

"It's nothing, just sore teeth!"

……

Yunji City.

The city gates were wide open.

Having already received the message, Sun Xiang and his men were already waiting at the door to greet them.

Upon seeing the army approaching, he immediately knelt down and bowed.

He felt the horse gallop up to him like a gust of wind, and when he looked up, he saw Ren Tianye jump off the horse.

He helped him up.

"Sun Xiang, well done!"

Ren Tianye patted Sun Xiang on the shoulder, his tone full of praise.

These words almost brought Sun Xiang to tears.

He did not cry when faced with the relentless siege of 80,000 barbarian troops day and night; he did not cry when the city was in turmoil and lacked sufficient weaponry; he did not cry when faced with overwhelming pressure.

He persevered and persevered.

But Ren Tianye's words brought up the bitterness and grievances hidden deep in his heart, surging up and becoming uncontrollable!

Tears fell without a second thought.

It's like a wanderer has found a place to lean on, a place to pour out all their hardships!

Ren Tianye patted his head to comfort him, took his hand, and led him straight back to the General's Mansion.

During this process, Sun Xiang finally calmed down. Moreover, after experiencing this difficult defensive battle, his mental resilience has become much stronger, and he will be able to shoulder greater responsibilities in the future!

In Ren Tianye's view, he was definitely a good general!

—In this world, how many geniuses are there? The vast majority of famous generals who have been remembered throughout history were forged step by step on the battlefield.

As long as there's a chance!

The talents of a single county or prefecture are enough to govern the entire world!

"Raise the tent!"

Ren Tianye gave the order.

All the events that had happened during this period came together, and his main concern was the issue of military achievements!

In particular, the issue of those soldiers' combat achievements!

Since they were all newly recruited and not yet fully integrated into his Yunji City family, he needed to reward them immediately.

Ren Tianye was also generous.

Those who make contributions will be rewarded!

The message was distributed one by one, and when it reached the ears of the troops stationed inside and outside Yunji City, cheers erupted.

It wasn't until midnight that the work was finally finished.

then……

That leaves those who are not soldiers but have made great contributions!

Ren Tianye had someone summon Su Hong.

He had a kind face and a friendly smile.

"Su Hong!"

"This humble subject is here!" Su Hong hurried forward, but a moment of disorientation washed over him. He vaguely remembered that Ren Tianye had previously addressed him as "Second Uncle!"

That's a more affectionate way of addressing someone.

It was also a title that almost brought him and the Su family to the brink of ruin.

"Sun Xiang told me about your contributions, and on behalf of the people of Yunji City, I thank you."

"Your eldest niece, Su Jin, also made a great contribution on this trip."

"All things considered, the Su family has once again given me a pleasant surprise!"

Su Hong knew what Ren Tianye meant by the last surprise; those nightmarish days still haunted him.

However, this time I finally don't have to live in fear anymore.

"From now on, the business in the Northern Frontier will be handed over to your Su family."

"Once I conquer the entire world, I will have to rely heavily on your Su family!"

"You guys, don't let me down again!"
