Chapter 351

Yesterday's battle to defend the city is still vivid in my mind. The soldiers who defended the city suffered countless casualties. Many of the surviving soldiers couldn't help but think of their comrades and burst into tears.

"Here, the truth is to reward the soldiers of General Pingnan's Mansion. Each soldier will receive a special bonus, and the soldiers who died in battle will receive three times the pension, as well as land rewards from the empire..."

Lu Hao added loudly.

Such a generous reward made all the soldiers extremely excited and brought tears to the eyes of all the people.

"Mighty Prime Minister! Long live the Empire! Mighty Prime Minister! Long live the Empire..."

The soldiers and people present shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

"Xuanyuan Hongzhi, on behalf of all the soldiers, on behalf of the soldiers who died, and on behalf of the people of the city, thanks the Prime Minister for his love! Thanks to the Empire for its kindness!"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi immediately knelt down and saluted to express his thanks.

The other soldiers and civilians knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Lu Hao for his grace.

After Lu Hao entered the city, he never mentioned that he had defeated the Sui Empire, nor did he publicize his achievements. Instead, he first thanked the soldiers who defended the city and paid tribute to the fallen soldiers.

From this point of view, he is a person with a big picture.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Hongzhi was convinced of his brother-in-law.

"Okay, get up, you deserve this."

Lu Hao smiled happily.

Everyone entered the city lord's palace, but the soldiers and people in the square were still unwilling to leave for a long time, which shows how popular Lu Hao is with the people.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

Lu Hao used some tricks to win the support of the southern military and civilians, which shows how powerful he is.

In the city lord's mansion, Lu Hao introduced Wu Qingyu, Tantai Xiyao and others to General Xuanyuan and others.

Next, he gave a detailed explanation of last night's plan to lure the emperor into an urn and use fire attacks to defeat the Sui Empire.

Of course, he did not publicize his own merits, but attributed them to the tireless efforts of the soldiers, hiding in ambush, fighting bloody battles, catching turtles in the urn, etc.

Although he said it lightly, you can imagine how tragic it would be for the 20-strong army to fall into a sea of ​​fire in the elm forest and be burned alive.

"Generals, I have sent two generals, Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu, to lead the two main legions to pursue the enemy. Now we need to ensure the supply of logistics materials. This matter will probably trouble the generals."

Lu Hao finally said.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I have arranged for General Li to transport food and grass to support the two generals."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi responded immediately.

"Actually, the supply of food and grass materials is not the most important thing. The truth is that we are worried about how to place the prisoners after Nangong Wuhen's army surrenders. We can't starve them to death, right?"

Lu Hao added with a smile.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. In the rich Qiannan Plain, the most important thing is food. I will ensure that the prisoners are well fed."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi smiled.

"Okay, I'll leave these matters to you. The truth will be reported to the Imperial Household Department and the bonus and pension will be allocated to you."

Lu Hao nodded slightly and finalized the matter.

Tantai Xiyao took out the soul crystal ball and placed one hand on it. The power of the soul penetrated into the crystal ball, and the crystal ball suddenly shone with circles of white light.

"General Tantai told the Imperial Military Aircraft Department and Concubine Dong Guifei that the prime minister has defeated the Sui Empire's army and is pursuing the fleeing enemies in an effort to regain Liuyang City."

The first thing Lu Hao did was to notify the battle report.

Tantai Xiyao followed Lu Hao to discuss matters. How could she do it without a position?
Therefore, Lu Hao granted her a position as a council officer, neither high nor low, but she was in charge of the empire's important intelligence network.

"The Prime Minister informed the Imperial Military Aircraft Department and Concubine Dong that the Prime Minister has defeated the Sui Empire's army and is pursuing the fleeing enemies in an effort to regain Liuyang City."

Tantai Xiyao pressed on the crystal ball, narrowed her eyes slightly, and repeated Lu Hao's words.

A message, transmitted through the soul, is already thousands of miles away, which shows how fast the transmission is.

"In addition, I ordered Mr. Tang, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Empire, to allocate 1000 million taels of silver to General Xuanyuan of Xiangfan City for rewards and pensions for the soldiers."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"The Prime Minister ordered Mr. Tang, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Empire, to allocate 1000 million taels of silver..."

Tantai Xiyao repeated Lu Hao's order. "Prime Minister, there is news from the Military Aircraft Department of the Imperial Capital. Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry, and Mr. Tang, the Minister of Household Affairs, asked if the first batch of allocations for the main roads of the empire can be allocated now?"

Tantai Xiyao looked at Lu Hao and asked.

"Tell them that no matter how much money it is, the Ministry of Accounts can directly allocate it."

Lu Hao responded.

Tantai Xiyao immediately passed on the news.

"Master Prime Minister, Xuanyuan Dingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked about the outcome of the battle in Xiangfan City."

Tantai Xiyao looked at Lu Hao again.

"Tell Xuanyuan Dingyuan that his son Xuanyuan Hongzhi was very good and defended Xiangfan City. About 3000 soldiers died in the battle and more than 1 soldiers were injured..."

Lu Hao smiled and looked at Xuanyuan Hongzhi.

Tantai Xiyao immediately began to report to Xuanyuan Dingyuan.

"Prime Minister, is this... this method of communication the legendary 'Thousand Miles of Spiritual Sound'?"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi approached Lu Hao and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, do you want to send a message to your father so that Tantai Xiyao can help you with the interrogation?"

Lu Hao nodded slightly and asked with a smile.

"is it okay?"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi was extremely excited.

"Of course, you are my true uncle, so you still have this privilege."

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"Uncle?"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi was slightly startled.

"Of course, when Lingyu comes back from this battle, I will propose marriage to your father."

Lu Hao said seriously.

"The prime minister wants to marry his sister?"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi was extremely surprised.

"Of course, Lingyu ran away from home for the truth. This matter has spread in General Pingnan's mansion. Can the truth not be responsible for Lingyu?"

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"My elder brother is happy for my sister to marry such an amazing and talented man as the Prime Minister."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi felt this.

"Okay, if you want to tell your father, let Xiyao summon you."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"General Tantai, please tell father that I did not insult his reputation and saved Xiangfan City. I hope that the two of them..."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

After a while, Xuanyuan Dingyuan replied, praising his son and asking him to fully cooperate with Lu Hao to pursue the enemy and regain Liuyang City.

"Thank you, General Tantai! Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi bowed slightly.

"Why are you so polite to me again?"

Lu Hao smiled and patted his shoulder and looked at Tantai Xiyao.

"Xiyao, ask where Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu's army are?"

Tantai Xiyao immediately contacted the Meiyue tribe members who were pursuing the army, and news soon came from there.
