This time, many people went out safely, but did not return safely.

"Please bring our martyrs and heroes home!!!"

Ye Xuan's voice grew increasingly solemn.

The army spontaneously split into two columns, revealing the soldiers in the middle.

The soldiers in the middle were not wearing armor or weapons; they only held earthenware jars in their hands.

The soldiers, with solemn expressions, followed closely behind, carrying the pottery jars, into Chaoge.

Seeing this, many people were moved to tears.

These people are their heroes.

Fortunately, very few heroes were killed this time.

There were roughly two or three hundred people.

Compared to the loss of 200,000 men in the last Northern Expedition, this loss is completely negligible.

This is naturally very inspiring.

"The third cup of wine is to the warriors of Chaoge. It is because of your bravery and fierce fighting that our nation is guaranteed to prosper forever."

"You are all the indomitable heroes of my Yin Shang Dynasty."

This glass of wine, I offer to you all!

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar and gulped down a large mouthful.

He then suddenly slammed the wine jar to the ground, making a loud noise.

"Today, let's throw a grand banquet and drink for three days and three nights straight, until we're all drunk!"

Many soldiers were extremely excited at this moment.

He roared and shouted wildly, venting his intense emotions.

Being able to follow His Majesty to protect the country and expand its territory is naturally a very good thing for them.

Perhaps they can even achieve lasting fame and be remembered for eternity.

With the soldiers' roars, the sound of thunder and crashing waves soared into the sky, startling flocks of birds into flight.

What followed was indeed a three-day, three-night banquet.

Not only can these warriors hold a banquet, but their families can also come and support them.

In addition, many respectable women and ladies from prominent families could also come to the military camp to choose their favorite heroes.

More and more young ladies from prominent families came to the military camp to serve tea and water to the heroes.

More and more respectable women are coming to the military camp to massage the soldiers' legs and shoulders.

These people were all warriors and soldiers of the Yin Shang, and they deserve everyone's respect.

Indeed, many ladies from prominent families found their ideal warriors and happily married.

This situation is escalating.

Three days and three nights have passed, but the enthusiasm of the masses has not diminished.

Left with no other choice, Ye Xuan extended the three-day, three-night celebration banquet to seven days.

Many ordinary people also joined in the celebratory feast.

Many people even bring their shy daughters to arrange blind dates for them.

These were all heroes of the Yin Shang dynasty, and they were not only respected but also received extremely generous military pay.

Marrying these soldiers would make you a family of honor, and you would receive a lot of support, including discounts on things you bought in the city.

This is a golden opportunity.

The most popular among them were the War Elephant Cavalry and the 100,000 elite cavalry led by Wang Yong.

At this time, these people became highly sought-after in Chaoge.

Of course, Wang Yong himself became a hot commodity.

Wang Yong's still-attractive and beautiful wife has already made her statement.

She needs to find Wang Yong a second wife; Wang Yong's too vigorous for her to handle alone.

Such words naturally drew laughter from everyone.

However, many people have already brought gifts and gone to propose marriage to Lady Wang for their daughters.

Wang Yong was originally just an orphan, but now, through his own efforts, he has become a highly sought-after general in Chaoge.

He commanded 100,000 elite cavalrymen and could even be said to have earned the Human Emperor's favor.

If one could climb such a high branch, wouldn't that be like reaching the sky in one step?

However, Madam Wang's selection criteria were very strict.

Not only must one be fair-skinned and beautiful, knowledgeable and cultured, but also healthy, with a round waist and big hips.

This is the only way to have a son and continue the family line.

These conditions have stumped many people.

However, some people were able to meet the requirements, and for a time, Wang Yong's house was constantly filled with visitors.

The commotion caused Wang Yong to move directly into the military camp.

Seven days later, Ye Xuan, who had not attended the morning court for a long time, sent people to bring up the giant drum that Tongtian.

This is an announcement from His Human Emperor the Emperor summoning his ministers for the morning court session.

The many ministers of Chaoge naturally rushed to Chaoge to prepare for court.

Only after all the civil and military officials had successfully gathered did Ye Xuan appear leisurely in the main hall.

Wushuang followed closely behind Ye Xuan.

Since arriving in Chaoge, Wushuang has never left Ye Xuan's side.

This two-month absence left Wushuang feeling extremely unsettled.

Now that His Human Emperor has returned, Wushuang refuses to leave his side for even a moment, following Ye Xuan like a shadow.

Ye Xuan laughed at him for quite a while.

Ye Xuan sat on it, looking down at the civil and military officials below.

A faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"Please speak freely!"

However, no ministers came forward to report, and everyone remained silent.

Now, the Yin Shang Dynasty enjoys favorable weather and abundant harvests, and has achieved an unprecedented bumper harvest before the new year.

The common people were all following their routines, and everything seemed to be thriving; nothing unusual was happening.

Besides.

Most of the feudal lords are now terrified, cowering like turtles, and dare not make the slightest move.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Xuan nodded, glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on Bi Gan.

"Bi Gan!"

"Your humble servant is here!!!"

Bi Gan stepped forward from the crowd and stood below the throne, awaiting the Human Emperor's questioning.

The current Bi Gan appears as a middle-aged scholar, exuding an air of refinement.

A faint golden light emanated from his chest, giving him a somewhat celestial air.

"Bi Gan, I instructed you to distribute the harvested grain seeds in an orderly manner, according to proportions suitable for living environments. How is this arrangement progressing?"

Bi Gan quickly replied:

"Your Human Emperor, this matter has been basically arranged, and it is now time for spring plowing."

"In areas closer to Chaoge, planting has already begun under the guidance of technicians."

"The technicians and seeds have been brought to places far from Chaoge, and the people are now in high spirits and working enthusiastically."

"It is estimated that in about a month, all the seeds will be able to be planted on the land of the Yin Shang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded.

"This matter is of utmost importance and must be handled with Zhenzhen; there can be no mistakes whatsoever."

"If we do this well, it will be a feat that will be remembered for all time. When the next autumn harvest comes, the grain production will increase more than tenfold. Only then will the Yin Shang Zhenzhen be prosperous."

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Bi Gan naturally nodded in agreement.

Bi Gan was always quite reliable in Bi Gan matters, so Ye Xuan was relatively at ease with him.

Ye Xuan then turned his gaze to Grand Tutor Wen.

Where is Grand Tutor Wen?

"Your old minister is here."

Wen Zhong stepped forward, standing below with a spirited demeanor and an aura as if facing an abyss.

To be honest, he has always been the leader of the group, a minister who followed the emperor.

He has now reached the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, which is clearly a far cry from what he used to be.

"Grand Tutor Wen, next, draft a letter to summon people from all over the land."

"Post recruitment notices widely, regardless of family background or origin, as long as one has a skill, they can be employed by our Yin Shang."

"Your humble servant obeys the imperial decree!"

Ye Xuan nodded.

According to the plot, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is fast approaching.

If we could recruit a few more experts at this crucial moment, that would be absolutely ideal.

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

"A great calamity is imminent, yet the Yin Shang army has long been out of practice, a grave mistake in warfare. If this continues, it will inevitably erode their fighting spirit. Do any of you generals have a brilliant plan?"

Upon hearing this, many people exchanged bewildered glances.

The Yin Shang army was already known for its decisive and ruthless tactics.

First, they launched a surprise attack on Jizhou, and then they launched a northern expedition against the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords.

Now that he is leading troops to attack the Eastern Yi Clan, how can it be said that he has been out of battle for a long time?

It seems His Human Emperor had excessively high expectations for the army.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Ye Xuan then turned his gaze to Zhang Guifang.

"I wonder if General Zhang has any brilliant plan?"

Zhang Guifang's eyes narrowed slightly, but she ultimately shook her head.
