"Duke Han, expanding the army is urgent. However, we also need to consider whether the rations and equipment can support it.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhangsun Wuji said seriously.
As the number of soldiers increased, the number of supplies consumed would naturally increase. Adding 50,000 regular soldiers in one go would consume a lot of supplies in the future.
"As for military rations, Longxi and Chencang are enough for our army to last for a while.”
"When we take down Daxing City, our rations will increase greatly, enough to last us for a long time.”
Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said.
Especially Chencang. This was an important place, so there was naturally a lot of grain stored here.
"Not bad. How are the machines?"
Cao Feng nodded and continued to ask.
"Replying to Duke Han, with the equipment we recently seized, we can barely hold on.”
"It's just that it can't last long. I need to find a place with an arsenal to replenish it.”
Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said.
"Alright."
Cao Feng already knew about the problems he would face after expanding the regular army.
Fortunately, these resources were not too scarce, and the Han army still had time to collect them.
"Everyone, the entire Hexi Corridor has been taken down. I need to send people to guard it. Who do you think is suitable?”
Then, Cao Feng threw out another topic.
The Hexi Corridor was a huge place, and it indeed needed a reliable general to guard it. Otherwise, it was inevitable that something would go wrong.
"Guarding the Hexi Corridor?"
As soon as he said this, many people thought of Li Jing first. However, this thought was immediately dispelled.
Li Jing was equivalent to the commander of the three armies. The core matters of marching and fighting needed him to do.
Therefore, he could not be transferred to guard the Hexi Corridor.
"Duke Han, I think Wu Yunzhao is more suitable.”
Fang Xuanling suggested after thinking for a long time.
"Wu Yunzhao?"
Hearing this, Cao Feng knocked on the table.
The Hexi Corridor was an important place, and it required the leader of the Guardian General to be bold and careful, as well as extraordinary martial strength.
Li Cunxiao and Wu Tianxi couldn't go and guard the city. Wu Yunzhao, who was both civil and military, was a suitable candidate.
"This subordinate agrees."
Zhangsun Wuji echoed.
"Alright, since that's the case, then it's settled.”
Cao Feng didn't hesitate and decided on this matter.
The fact that he could confirm it so quickly was also because this time's guarding was a trial for Wu Yunzhao.
It would allow him to grow rapidly and become one of the pillars of the Han army in the future.
"Everyone, the decisions just now will be implemented.”
After the discussion was over, Cao Feng gave the order.
"Yes."
The civil and military officials received the order and left the hall.
"Wu Tianxi, stay behind."
Cao Feng suddenly said.
"Duke Han?"
Wu Tianxi was stunned for a moment. He looked confused, but he still stayed.
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling left, bringing Zhang Gongjin and Du Ruhui to introduce the current political affairs of the Han Army.
As for the expansion of the army, including the order to guard the Hexi Corridor, he sent people to quickly convey it.
"Duke Han, what are your orders?”
Wu Tianxi couldn't help but say in the next second.
"You have some relationship with Xin Wenli, so I will leave the matter of persuading him to surrender to you.”
Cao Feng knew that Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial king, knew Xin Wenli's father and had a good personal relationship with him.
The relationship between Xin Wenli and the Woo Brothers should not be too bad. Since Yun Zhao was not here, he would definitely have to get someone else to persuade him to surrender.
"Brother Wenli?"
Wu Tianxi was secretly surprised. Previously, he had only heard that a Sui general had been captured, but he did not know that it was Xin Wenli.
By the time they arrived at the battlefield with the news, Xin Wenli, who had been captured alive, had already been detained. The two of them had not seen him at all.
"Yes."
Wu Tianxi hurriedly replied after he came back to his senses.
After saying that, he quickly left the Han King's residence. Since they were good friends, he naturally had to hurry and persuade them to surrender.
"Ta Ta…"
Xin Wenli, who had been in the prison for a long time, was muddleheaded. The sudden sound of footsteps sounded very loud.
"Did someone come to persuade them to surrender?"
Xin Wenli sneered.
At the same time, he thought about how he would ridicule the envoy.
However, when the footsteps stopped and he raised his head, he was stunned.
"Tianxi?"
Seeing this, Xin Wenli called out in surprise.
The person who came was a good friend. Naturally, it was surprising to see him in this cell.
Could it be that Wu Tianxi had been captured?
"Open the door."
Wu Tianxi said to the jailer.
The jailer hurriedly opened the chains and the cell door to let Wu Tianxi in.
"You…"
Xin Wenli had a guess and was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
"You've suffered, Brother Wenli."
Wu Tianxi smiled and sat cross-legged in front of Xin Wenli.
"Why are you here?"
Although he had a guess, Xin Wenli still asked.
Wu Tianxi didn't hide anything and told him everything that had happened between him and his cousin.
"Brother Yunzhao is also here and is being put in an important position?”
As he spoke, Xin Wenli raised his voice.
"That's right. Brother Wenli, you should join us too.”
Wu Tianxi stated his intentions.
"I…"
Upon hearing this, Xin Wenli fell silent for a long time.
"The world is in chaos. You know what happened to Uncle Wu back then, and the strength of the Han army is here.”
"Do you still need to hesitate? If not for yourself, you have to think about your new home.”
Wu Tianxi continued to persuade her, emphasizing the last few words.
"For the sake of our new home!"
Xin Wenli's body trembled. The matter of his uncle, King Zhongxiao, was the only grudge between the Xin family and the Sui family.
It was just that the new family had never mentioned it, and the Sui family had never asked about it.
"Alright, I'm willing to surrender."
Having said that, Xin Wenli no longer hesitated. This Duke of Han had put Yunzhao in such an important position so quickly. It was indeed unlike the methods of an ordinary rebel army leader.
"That's great!"
Wu Tianxi couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was naturally the best thing for a good friend to submit.
After all, he did not want to see Xin Wenli die an unnatural death or meet with weapons.
"Still not opening the shackles?"
Only then did the jailer react and hurriedly went forward to unlock the shackles of the new ceremony.
After that, Wu Tianxi brought Xin Wenli to the Han Public House.
"Duke Han, this subordinate has already persuaded my good friend Xin Wenli to surrender.”
Wu Tianxi cupped his hands and said.
"Subordinate Xin Wenli greets Duke Han.”
Immediately after, Xin Wenli used his own actions to prove it.
"I welcome your new family to join us and increase the strength of the Han army.”
Hearing this, Cao Feng smiled and waved his hand.
There was no arrogance in his movements, and he still had the same respectful appearance.
"Looking at Duke Han's aura, he will definitely be one of the top lords in the future.”
Seeing this, the knowledgeable Xin Wenli thought to himself.
