Looking at the jubilant faces of the guerrilla generals, Ren Tianye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

The demands of cattle and horses are so low. They can be so happy that they can't sleep at night if their wages are doubled, and they are willing to work their lives for a little reward.

Such cattle and horses are so easy to raise.

Why don't these top female writers know how to cherish what they have?

If these soldiers were treated as human beings, where would there be any chaos in the world?!

He let out a soft breath and said, "Be happy when you should be happy, celebrate when you should celebrate. Our first step went smoothly, and that's something to celebrate."

"However, we must not let our guard down."

"As you all know, there are seven thousand soldiers in Yunji City. These soldiers are not of one mind with us."

"If we don't handle this well and suffer their backlash, our 800 men could be wiped out at any moment."

Ren Tianye's calmness quickly brought the guerrilla generals to their senses, and they all forced themselves to regain their composure.

Then Ren Tianye continued, "The most crucial thing now is to resolutely carry out the orders that I have put forward."

"This general wields both a big stick and a carrot, which I believe will win over many soldiers of Yunji City. But... no matter how harsh Zhan Shubai is, there are those who benefit and those who follow him. Once they realize what's going on, they will be unwilling to accept it."

"We must be very careful and wary of these people."

The guerrilla generals agreed wholeheartedly and immediately began to offer their suggestions and discuss solutions.

And these are precisely the things they excel at.

This made them all eloquent and fluent.

Even the guerrilla general, who was usually quiet, was extremely proactive in expressing his views and offering his opinions, and his spirits were high.

Ren Tianye discussed with them, taking their opinions as the main focus. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and when he looked up again, the bright light was shining through the window.

The group remained energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.

However, various plans and detailed rules were also established.

"Alright, it's getting late. I won't keep you any longer. Do as we've agreed."

"yes!"

The guerrilla generals rose, preparing to take their leave.

The voice of a soldier suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Report! General, it's urgent!"

Deputy General Wang Ming took the lead and helped the soldier in. He was shocked to find that the soldier looked exhausted and was injured.

Could it be that the imperial court has sent someone to attack?

Such a quick reaction?

Sun Xiang's voice dispelled his worries: "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to kill Zhan Shubai?"

Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out they were soldiers sent to assassinate Zhan Shubai.

but,

Weren't there ten people chasing after Zhan Shubai? How did they end up like this?

The soldier, his face bloodshot, said, "General, please forgive me. I was incompetent and failed to kill Zhan Shubai."

"Zhan Shubai's martial arts are truly extraordinary. We ten men have already followed the general's orders to ambush him from a distance, but even though he was clearly out of his mind, he still managed to dodge our hidden arrows."

"They even used the stones they found to injure a few of their brothers."

"It's just that Zhan Shubai wasn't wearing armor or carrying a bow and arrows, otherwise, the ten of us might have died there."

Sun Xiang was startled.

I knew Zhan Shubai was skilled in martial arts, but I didn't expect him to be this powerful. Such a fierce general, his martial arts skills are probably already close to those of a great general.

He quickly asked, "How is Zhan Shubai now?"

"After we were injured by him, we did not get close. His horse was foaming at the mouth and collapsed on the ground while he was whipping it. He had no horse to chase after us and could not do anything to us."

"However, I am wary, and I fear that we few may not be able to fulfill our appointments."

"I had no choice but to rush back. Please make the decision, General."

"General..." Sun Xiang turned around and asked Ren Tianye, "Do you think I should send some more men?"

"No matter how skilled Zhan Shubai is in martial arts, even if I send a hundred men, he will still die."

Before Ren Tianye could speak, the soldier said again, "General, Great General, Zhan Shubai has returned."

"What?"

"I don't know what got into Zhan Shubai, after escaping our pursuit, he slapped his forehead and started rushing back, but he didn't have a horse and kept looking for one."

"But Ke also took the opportunity to escape our sight, and now, he has disappeared without a trace."

Ren Tianye's voice then slowly rang out.

"It seems Zhan Shubai has finally realized what's happening."

"But what if you realize it?"

"If Yunji City were in his hands, he would be a figure of importance. But if Yunji City were in my hands, what could he do even if he returned?"

Despite saying that, Ren Tianye did not let his guard down.

He said, "However, Zhan Shubai has been managing Yunji City for many years and his influence is deep-rooted. With his return, Yunji City may not be so peaceful."

"Generals, we must quickly take control of the seven thousand soldiers in Yunji City. Only when the soldiers are loyal can Yunji City truly belong to us."

The guerrilla generals nodded in agreement and immediately took the order and left.

……

Logistics Battalion.

The seven thousand soldiers of Yunji City were all holding the ration coupons they had received from General Ren Tianye's mansion, and they were lining up to receive their salaries.

The quartermasters were issued supplies according to their original rank.

Everything was as Ren Tianye had explained: even the most ordinary soldiers in Yunji City received the same monthly salary as the Chifeng Army.

2.5 taels of silver!

One person received an extra bag of millet.

This filled the soldiers with joy, and their eyes shone with immense light.

2.5 taels!

They originally only had 500 coins, and were subject to various deductions. This time, the price has increased more than fivefold.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you, Your Excellency."

"I, Lao Liu, never imagined that I would receive such a high salary one day. It's almost the same as the treatment in the Red Beacon Army."

"Ah, if only the Imperial Envoy were the garrison commander of our Yunji City."

……

The soldiers of Yunji City discussed among themselves, all expressing their heartfelt approval of the newly arrived imperial envoy, and the scene was like a sea of ​​joy.

But this was abruptly shattered: "Hey, why are you dismissing me from my position in the inspection team? And only paying me 2.5 taels of silver? My monthly salary was 5 taels of silver before, this is half of that!"

Everyone's attention was drawn, and they all turned their heads.

They saw a soldier with a rugged appearance and a strong physique, and they recognized him as Wang Hu, a valiant general in the inspection team established by Zhan Shubai.

Wang Hu's eyes were wide open, and his aura was terrifying.

Pointing at the quartermaster who was distributing his paycheck, he roared, "Do you want to die? Aren't you afraid of Grandpa Tiger's fists?"

The quartermaster was trembling with fear, and the soldiers instantly fell silent.

The inspection team had been a constant source of pressure for them over the years, wielding considerable power. They were genuinely afraid of offending the inspection team, and even now that the imperial envoy had announced the team's disbandment, their fear remained deeply ingrained.

However, Wang Hu's display of power did not last.

In just a short while, a new disciplinary squad composed of elite troops from the Eight Hundred Army arrived, led by Zhang Shi, who was most skilled in divination.

She glanced coldly at Wang Hu: "What?"

"You think it's not enough?"

With each member of the disciplinary team on their knife hilts, Zhang Shiyou's imposing presence instantly suppressed Wang Hu's dissatisfaction and arrogance, causing him to quickly and timidly say, "This lowly one wouldn't dare."

"Hmph, you better not really dare!" Zhang Shi didn't argue with him too much, but instead said loudly, "All of this was decided by the Imperial Envoy."

"Anyone who dares to disobey, I'll let them taste my blade!"

After handling this minor conflict, the disciplinary team immediately rushed to other locations to fulfill their disciplinary duties.

This put Wang Hu's mind at ease.

However, he looked annoyed: "Damn it, how am I supposed to support my weak and helpless mistress with this little bit of money!"
