The reef bay that had been consumed by the fire was in a mess. As the dead grass within a radius of dozens of miles turned into ashes, the fire finally stopped spreading at night. The 30,000 sinful soldiers under Zhao Feng also turned into charred corpses in the fire.

Lin Chuan sat quietly on the hillside outside the Repulse Bay, surrounded by guards guards. As night fell, Lin Chuan became inexplicably irritated.

"Is there no news about Zhao Feng yet?" Lin Chuan asked again.

Lei Feng, the battalion commander of the Guards Banner who was guarding Lin Chuan, remained silent and shook his head. This was the fifth time Lin Chuan asked him. Lei Feng could feel Lin Chuan's tone becoming more and more dissatisfied.

Zhao Feng not only caused heavy losses to the Nanchuan army, but also immediately led troops to chase the Nanchuan army after surrendering to the Dynasty army. Lin Chuan wanted to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin for these despicable villains, but after the fire, Zhao Feng seemed to disappear out of thin air. He searched for the whole afternoon and had no news at all.

The search teams with torches returned one after another, and many dynasty soldiers who survived by luck were also asked one by one, but the fire burned very quickly and the situation was extremely chaotic. I didn't notice whether Zhao Feng was still alive.

"At that time, many people rob the officers of war horses to escape, and many officers were killed..." Some prisoners said this.

"I saw the deputy commander fall off his war horse. He should have been burned to death now." Someone also described it like this.

“…”

Lin Chuan did not get any useful news from the prisoners, which made Lin Chuan very uneasy. He knew that with Zhao Feng's character of being repaid, if he escaped this time, he would really let the tiger go back to the mountain, which would be a great threat to the future of the Nanchuan Army.

Seeing the irritability on Lin Chuan's face, Xue Wen walked over and comforted: "General, our people have searched the entire area, and all the living people are here, and the rest have all become burnt corpses. Perhaps Zhao Feng has been burned to death and we have not identified it."

Hearing Xue Wen's comfort, Lin Chuan's irritability improved a little. Perhaps because he was too sensitive, he wanted to kill Zhao Feng too much. Thinking of the piles of corpses, Lin Chuan felt relieved. Perhaps Zhao Feng was really dead.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and stood up: "Thank you all today. I'll invite everyone to drink when I return to the camp tonight."

"Oh—Long live the general—" Hearing that there was wine to drink when he returned to the camp in the evening, the soldiers of Nanchuan immediately cheered excitedly.

It is strictly prohibited to drink alcohol in the Nanchuan Army on weekdays, but there are exceptions, that is, the celebration wine after the victory of the war. This is a way for Lin Chuan to specifically approve the soldiers to relax. Lin Chuan's military management is relaxed and moderate, which is why the soldiers are willing to follow Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan returned to the camp set up by Mingyang by the victorious army. He heard that the 30,000 enemy troops that were attacking had turned into burnt corpses. Mingyang's heart was finally relieved, and the entire camp was very lively because of the victory.

Buckets of ale were moved out, and the quarantine officer reluctantly gave them a meal for the soldiers. Large pieces of pork filled the soldiers' bowls. The soldiers in the entire camp relaxed once surrounded by strong enemies.

The stove in the military tent was very prosperous, and the entire military tent was full of warmth. Lin Chuan, Mingyang and Xue Wen sat around the stove, and several dishes of wine and food were placed on the table next to it.

Although the soldiers outside the military tent drank wine and ate meat and enjoyed a rare delicious meal, the three people inside the military tent were not as happy as the soldiers.

As senior generals of the Nanchuan Army, they do not just need to charge and kill the enemy like soldiers. What they need to consider is the overall situation and strategy. Obviously, the current situation is very unfavorable to the Nanchuan Army. Although Zhao Feng's troops were eliminated, the situation is still grim in the face of hundreds of thousands of dynasty troops coming. If you are not careful, the Nanchuan Army will suffer a catastrophe.

"Mr. Xue, welcome to join our Nanchuan Army." Lin Chuan broke the dull atmosphere and raised his wine glass and spoke.

Mingyang also raised his glass and said, "Yes, Mr. Xue's arrival has made our Nanchuan army more wings. Today, it will burn the enemy army, which makes people feel very happy. I also respect Mr. Xue for a cup."

Xue Wen was also happy. He once hang out with soldiers among the border guards for many years. Facing Lin Chuan and Mingyang toast, he raised his glass and drank it all, which made Mingyang and Lin Chuan look at each other with admiration.

After all, Xue Wen did not know much about the Nanchuan Army. Lin Chuan briefly introduced the situation of the Nanchuan Army to Xue Wen. Xue Wen agreed with the Nanchuan Army's practice of killing nobles and dividing land. After all, he was also from a poor family and knew the importance of land to the people.

"General, you can kill the nobles and divide the land now seems to win the hearts of the vast majority of people at the bottom, but if you want to overthrow the dynasty, it is difficult to succeed without the support of the nobles." Although Xue Wen praised the Nanchuan Army's policy of dividing the land, he also pointed out some of the disadvantages.

"We have the support of countless people and can form a powerful army. Without the support of nobles, we can overthrow the dynasty." Mingyang disagreed with Xue Wen's words and immediately retorted.

Xue Wen shook his head with a smile and said, "I admit that relying on the people can seize the world, but generals, not all nobles oppress the people. A large part of them have the good qualities of nobles. They are kind and kind-hearted, and they have received a good education since childhood. If we win over this part, it will not only reduce our resistance, but will provide us with various talents and use our Nanchuan Army to develop and grow."

Hearing Xue Wen's words, Lin Chuan fell into deep thought. The Nanchuan Army had implemented a one-size-fits-all policy before. Any nobles who confiscated their families and destroyed their clans, but now they think they are a bit hasty. This is why the Nanchuan Army cannot recruit talents and was conquered and suppressed the dynasty nobles.

"Thank you, Mr. Xue, for reminding me that I will make suggestions to the general to modify our policies against aristocrats. We must kill those vicious nobles, win over those kind nobles, and divide and disintegrate the strength of the dynasty."

Seeing that Lin Chuan could reach this level so quickly, Xue Wen nodded secretly. The Lin family has always been a general and a marshal, but he didn't expect that Lin Chuan not only knew how to kill, but also knew the overall situation. Xue Wen was even more expectant about Lin Chuan.
