"Yes."
The commander of the county soldiers responded loudly and quickly led hundreds of county soldiers to quickly step forward and join the Great Xuan Army soldiers.
Then together they escorted tens of thousands of the White Lotus Sect prisoners towards the prison in the city.
Du Tianwu watched the prisoners being escorted into the city in an orderly manner, with a hint of relief on his face. Then he turned to look at Wang Huai'an, and his tone softened a bit.
"Thank you Commandery Governor Wang. After the prisoners are imprisoned, you can arrange for people to prepare for their removal. The soldiers have worked hard for a month and deserve a good rest."
"In addition, please report to Marquis Su quickly, saying that I have successfully completed the mission and wiped out all remaining White Lotus Sect forces in the Yan Kingdom. I have now led the army and prisoners back to Upper Valley Commandery. Please give me your instructions, Marquis Su."
"Yes, yes, I will make arrangements right away."
Wang Huai'an responded quickly, the smile on his face not diminishing.
"General Du has been working hard all the way. Let's go to the city with the official to rest for a while. The official will send someone to report Marquis Su!"
Du Tianwu nodded slightly, said no more, straightened his armor, and walked towards the city.
Wang Huai'an hurriedly followed, and as he walked, he kept talking about Upper Valley Commandery's situation this month, and every word was flattering.
In his opinion, if he continues to perform well and hold firmly to the two big trees of Marquis Su and Du Tianwu, he will be able to live a stable life and rise step by step in this Yan Kingdom in the future.
The sun shone on the two people, as well as on the mighty army and prisoners. Upper Valley Commandery's city gate slowly closed, and the people in the city walked out of their homes one after another to watch the triumphant Great Xuan Army soldiers.
After learning that the White Lotus Sect rebels of the Yan Kingdom were completely wiped out by the Great Xuan Army, the faces of these people showed smiles of joy and admiration, and the cheers and cheers resounded throughout Upper Valley Commandery and did not disperse for a long time.
The main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion felt warm and cozy.
Su Fei was sitting on the main seat with a calm expression, playing with a jade pendant found in Dugu Fengming's storage ring. After he learned the news that Du Tianwu led his army in triumph.
He nodded with satisfaction and felt happy.
Du Tianwu has made a triumphant return and has wiped out the remaining forces of the White Lotus Sect. The next step is to ask Yan Kingdom for the land of the three counties for Great Xuan. He can also successfully complete the system tasks and receive rewards.
There were footsteps outside the door. Du Tianwu had already taken off his armor, changed into casual clothes and came to see Su Fei.
Although his face looked a little tired, his posture was still upright.
He walked into the main hall and saluted Great Xuan Army to Su Fei.
"The last general Great Xuan, Duke Du Tianwu, see Marquis Su, the last general has lived up to his command and has completely wiped out all remaining White Lotus Sect forces in the Yan Kingdom. All White Lotus Sect prisoners have been imprisoned. I came here to report back to Marquis Su."
Su Fei raised his eyes, his eyes fell on Du Tianwu, a look of approval appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to signal him to get up.
"General Du Thank you for your hard work. You have been traveling all the way. Please sit down quickly."
Du Tianwu sat down in response, took the tea handed to him by the servant, drank it in one gulp, which slightly relieved his thirst along the way, and then opened his mouth to start reporting on the encirclement and suppression process.
"The last general divided his troops into five groups this time and wiped out all the rebel strongholds in the Yan Kingdom. He captured more than thousands of the White Lotus Sect's core believers alive and more than 40,000 surrendered refugee rebels. They have all been detained separately according to Marquis Su's instructions and are awaiting the fate of Marquis Su."
"The weapons and provisions seized from these White Lotus Sect disciples have also been counted and are all stored in the barracks warehouse. On the Upper Valley Commandery side, Wang Huai'an has taken care of them quite well and there have been no mistakes."
Su Fei nodded slightly, tapped the table with his fingertips, and said calmly.
"Well done, White Lotus Sect has been destroyed, and Yan Kingdom's rebellion has been completely suppressed. Now, it's time to ask Yan Kingdom for the land of the three counties."
Du Tianwu understood what Su Fei meant, stood up and said.
"What Marquis Su said is absolutely true. Our army was ordered by Great Xuan to assist Yan Kingdom in the encirclement and suppression campaign. White Lotus Sect, Emperor Yan originally promised to cede the land of the three counties to me Great Xuan after the completion of the matter. Now that the task has been completed, it is the best time to ask Yan Kingdom for the land of the three counties."
"Not bad."
Su Fei stood up slowly and looked out the window with deep eyes.
"The land of the three counties is the reward that Great Xuan deserves. Since Yan Kingdom said it would be given, it must be given."
Su Fei turned to look at Du Tianwu and continued.
"This matter is of great importance and should not be delayed or made too public."
"It would be better if we send a letter to the Yan Kingdom and directly ask for the land of the three counties. If he doesn't reply, we can only wait. This is a waste of time, so we might as well not send it."
"I think this matter should be solved in a different way, General Du, you come with me to the capital of the Yan Kingdom, meet Emperor Yan in person, and ask for the land of the three counties."
"The letter still has to be sent. Tell the Yan Kingdom court that I, Su Fei, will personally go to the capital of the Yan Kingdom to ask them for the land of the three counties."
Du Tianwu quickly bowed and responded.
"I will obey the order, and I am willing to go with Marquis Su to help Marquis Su successfully regain the land of the three counties."
Du Tianwu knew in his heart that although Emperor Yan had promised, the matter of ceding the land of the three counties was a big deal, so Emperor Yan might shirk the matter.
Only with Marquis Su, the strong Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level, in charge, can we calm down the situation and ensure that things are done smoothly.
Su Fei raised his hand to signal him to calm down, thought carefully for a moment, and added.
"However, if one hundred thousand Great Xuan Army go to the capital together, they will probably scare the Yan Kingdom Imperial City people and Yan Kingdom ministers to death."
Du Tianwu laughed loudly when he heard this.
"Marquis Su is thoughtful, Yan Kingdom is weak. If we lead an army of 100,000 to their capital, I am afraid they will be scared out of their wits."
Su Fei spoke calmly and had already made up his mind.
"That's exactly what it means."
"One hundred thousand Great Xuan Army will be temporarily stationed at Upper Valley Commandery. You will choose Deputy General to lead the troops to prevent the prisoners from causing rebellion. On the other hand, it can also deter Yan Kingdom local forces."
"You will eventually understand."
Du Tianwu responded in a deep voice.
"The general will arrange for Deputy General to stay behind and select elite soldiers to garrison the barracks and guard the prisoners. There will be no mistakes. This will ensure that Upper Valley Commandery will go without incident during the trip between Marquis Su and the general."
After hearing this, Su Fei nodded with satisfaction.
"You don't need to have too many people accompanying you. Just pick a few dozen elite cavalry. They can protect the two of us safely without being too arrogant. We will take a carriage to the capital, travel lightly all the way, and arrive as soon as possible."
The two discussed for a long time and finalized the selection of the accompanying cavalry. The candidates for Deputy General to stay behind were carefully considered in all aspects to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the one hundred thousand Great Xuan Army when they left.
After the two of them had reached a conclusion, Du Tianwu stood up and left.
He left the governor's house and went to the military camp to arrange relevant matters, select the accompanying cavalry, instruct Deputy General to stay behind, and count the accompanying supplies. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.
