In the Northwest Army, after many years, the military has begun to silence people. All rumors and rumors are never allowed to be discussed. However, in the past few days, only one third of the food and grass that was originally delivered on time was delivered.

.

Inevitably, a lot of rumors arose. Some said that the Northwest Army was abandoned by Panyu and no longer supplied food and grass; some said that General Pan was preparing to send troops to help the king and save the emperor from water and fire...

Helpless, even though he has led the Northwest Army for many years, with the shortage of food and grass, the morale of the army began to turmoil, and there were even people who were adding fuel to the flames and had no good intentions.

"What do you think, Duke? Our governor is very sincere. We have been preparing for the position of deputy governor for a long time!"

This time he came to the Northwest Army again. Li Huai was still bold and fearless. However, this time, in addition to his identity as the special envoy of the Governor's Office, he also had the identity of the Hezhou Governor's Office, which made Pan Chongche very afraid.

Over the past few days, the entire Northwest Army's food and fodder has been allocated by Commander Li. All armies and battalions are very familiar with this Commander Li.

The northwest army has nearly 20,000 people, and most of them are from the northwest. Li Huai, relying on his status as the governor, cares deeply for the families of the northwest army, and even half of the salary paid is sent to their homes. The soldiers can be described as caring for them.

Very happy.

The officers also liked him, and some letters and money were entrusted to him for distribution back home. Some relatives in Hezhou also took good care of them.

"I'm afraid it's not good for the governor to urge him so much!" Pan Chongche thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't get over it.

Li Jia's thoughts are simply those of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows that the military power of the Northwest Army cannot be exchanged for a small deputy governor? It is simply child's play.

Moreover, if he loses the northwest army and the throne in Panyu City changes in the blink of an eye, he cannot afford to let Emperor Zhongzong down.

"It's my fault that I'm too hasty. I still have three days to go. I hope the Duke can give me an accurate answer!"

Li Huai bowed and retreated, the smile on his face gradually faded and turned cold.

This General Pan is really stubborn!

"Hey, how difficult the situation is!" Pan Chongche touched the long knife at his waist, feeling hard to calm down.

A few days ago, he was awarded the title of Duke of Chu, and he knew that this moment was not far away, but so what, if he did not accept it, the entire Liu family would be exterminated. How could he be worthy of Emperor Zhongzong?

However, he also shoulders the responsibility of the 20,000-strong Northwest Army. If he does not handle it well, it will lead to a big mistake. Both the Lingnan and Northwest armies need to be more cautious.

Li Huai left the Duke's Mansion and did not return to his Yamen. Instead, he brought some drinks and letters to the military camp outside the city.

Li Huai's arrival caused a sensation in the entire military camp. These letters from home made the entire military camp restless, and the gag order was instantly in vain.

"Letter from home——"

"Hahaha, I'm a dad, I'm a dad..."

"Oh, my mother passed away, my child is unfilial!"

A letter from home filled the entire military camp with joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. The officers didn't care and couldn't control it, and it immediately became a mess.

Li Huai took one look, smiled, and then entered the military tent. The officers did not carry anyone behind their backs, they were open and open, waiting with an aggressive attitude.

"Everyone, you have been waiting for a long time -" Li Huai bowed his hands and sat down at the main seat. He came to the military camp this time well prepared and felt quite confident.

"As soon as Li Qishi arrived, he caused a sensation in the entire military camp. He is very capable!" As one of Pan Chongche's most powerful generals, Duan Youliang sat across from him and said directly.

"I don't have those skills. I'm just a messenger, getting some frivolous letters from parents!" Li Huai waved his hand and said directly:

"To make a long story short, those little soldiers don't know, and how can you not know that the food and grass delivered a few days ago only lasted ten days, and now there are less than three days left. This army has no food and is in great danger!"

"Of course we know, just tell us what conditions Governor Li has!" Duan Youliang, as a representative, has great authority and said impatiently.

"Okay, I'll speak frankly!" Li Huai was not annoyed at being interrupted. Instead, he smiled more. These generals are very anxious now!

"Nearly half of the 20,000 people in the Northwest Army are going north. Including you, you have been guarding the border for many years and have endured a lot of hardships. The Governor's Office is naturally considerate. Those who go north can be rotated to the inland and no longer endure the border wars.

bitter!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals who went north became happy. They had been away from home for many years, and no one wanted to go home. Moreover, in this desolate place in the northwest, their families were no longer around, making them even more homesick.

"As for those who were originally from the North, they will be subsidized as appropriate, with an increase of 30%..." Although these generals looked down upon them, Li Huai still wanted to make it clear that there were countless soldiers behind these people.

"Besides, the Forbidden Army has begun to implement the sixteenth grade military nobility system, and the Northwest Army has implemented it as a whole. If you kill only one enemy soldier, you can enjoy an acre of land. The generals have other strategies, which are much better than today..."

"The generals of the Northwest Army have their own rewards, and they will all remain in office. If Zhang Lijun, according to his official position, will have his own money to offer it..."

Everyone was happy to hear that he could be retained, and even if he resigned, he would still receive a lot of compensation. Now he knew for sure that Panyu was sincere.

The conversation lasted less than a quarter of an hour. Basically, Li Huai was talking, and the generals were listening. When they heard something that suited their minds, they nodded repeatedly, and most of their minds were wandering.

Pan Chongche was indeed a benefactor to the Manchu army, but with one flaw, he could not lead them further. Even if the Northwest Army invaded Panyu, it would be impossible to support an eunuch as emperor, right?

The reality is satisfied, but what about the future? Nearly half of the generals and colleges went north, and their relatives are in the south. Not everyone is cold-blooded.

So, under the urging of everyone, Duan Youliang reluctantly went to the Duke's Mansion to advise on behalf of everyone.

"Go, spread out those conditions and let the entire Northwest Army know..." Before leaving the barracks, Li Huai smiled and ordered.

It depends on how you deal with these psychological attacks.

"My lord, General Duan would like to see you——"

"Let him come in -" Pan Chongche quickly ordered.

Duan Youliang was considered Pan Chongche's confidant and favorite general. When he saw him, he did not hesitate and directly told him about the situation in the military camp.

After listening, he was silent for a long time, as if he had aged a few years. Then he raised his head and said:

"How can such a strategy to attack the heart come south?"

The entire military camp was suddenly divided into several parts. If one of them failed, a camp roar would form and the army would collapse.

"Youliang, after I go south to Panyu, you must obey the command and try to stay in the army. The more troops you have, the safer I will be..."

"My lord, is it possible that the Governor's Office wants to harm you?" Duan Youliang's beard trembled and he asked quickly.
