Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 298 The Little Nun 26

Ling Yi's skill had once amazed the entire border army camp, and now subduing two rough brothers was naturally a piece of cake.

She pinned this brother down here to instill fear in them and to make them submit.

Only when people are convinced can they be properly managed and allowed to act according to their own wishes.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, Ling Yi spoke faster and faster, making the clerks sweat profusely.

Master Xu initially worked diligently on checking the accounts, but after witnessing Ling Yi's methods, he immediately threw the account books aside and completely abandoned the work.

As night approached, the clerks were called out for dinner. Ling Yi, Master Xu, and the two generals from the Zhao family were also fortunate enough to be invited to the general's restaurant to enjoy a meal prepared by a cook who had once wielded a cleaver.

Hmm, the taste wasn't great, just average home-style cooking, but edible.

Ling Yi's overworked brain needed a huge amount of energy, so she started sweeping the table without any restraint after the meal started.

He wasn't exactly rude, but he had a huge appetite.

It was precisely this way of eating that finally made her resemble a military general.

The two Zhao family generals, who originally couldn't eat, were forced to eat three large bowls of rice by her mukbang, and their eyes were a little glazed when they put down their bowls.

After the meal, Ling Yi picked up the teacup that the general had personally handed her, blew on it, and drank it all in one gulp: "I can get this ledger sorted out before dawn tomorrow."

After saying that, she looked at Xue Zhen and asked, "I wonder how the general intends to handle this matter?"

Upon hearing this, the person involved trembled slightly and glanced at Xue Zhen.

Xue Zhen said straightforwardly, "You caused this trouble, so naturally you should resolve it. Why are you asking me?"

This self-righteous, hands-off boss attitude amused Ling Yi.

"This rebel army belongs to the general, and I am merely working for the general. How can I be considered to be causing trouble?"

Xue Zhen nodded: "That's true."

“But I don’t care. I am the leader of the rebels, and I order you to resolve this matter.”

Ling Yi: "..."

My hand, which was holding the teacup, was getting a little tired, and I wanted to throw it away and smash something to relax.

Master Xu: "Ahem!"

He didn't know what to say to the general. He clearly trusted Lieutenant General Ling and wanted her to make all the decisions, but why did his words sound so unpleasant?

If you act like that, forget about peeking at them; even if you brought the betrothal gifts to their camp, you'd be kicked out.

Xue Zhen was very perceptive at this moment, and glared back sharply: "Why are you coughing?"

Master Xu gave a forced smile: "What I'm trying to say is that General Ling's handling of this matter is ultimately illegitimate and could easily make enemies in the army. Why don't you listen to her opinion and then issue the order yourself?"

Foolish man!

Xue Zhen nodded and humbly asked Ling Yi, "What do you think of this method?"

Ling Yi curled her lips slightly: "Master Xu is right."

Old fox.

"Then you speak, I'm listening."

Ling Yi handed the teacup to Xue Zhen, gesturing for him to refill her water. After a moment's thought, she said, "First of all, this matter must be announced to the entire army. After all, everyone is watching, and we must give a result."

"can."

“Secondly, there is the matter of provisions and military equipment.” Ling Yi tapped the table with her fingertips and said, “The current practice of purchasing and distributing supplies separately is not only a waste of resources, but also fails to ensure the soldiers’ loyalty to the general. This way of doing things must be changed.”

Nowadays, soldiers can't even write their own names, and they fight only to get a meal. It would be too much to ask them to know what loyalty and righteousness are.

They only knew that whoever gave them money and food was their master, and they fought for money and food.

The general? The general doesn't pay us, so of course we have to listen to our commander!

The vassal of a vassal is not my vassal. Ling Yi is about to deliver a heavy blow to this dual monarchy, crushing the middlemen who profit from the price difference, and making all the soldiers fight for the money and food of Xue Town.

"can."

"The third point is to divide and conquer the generals." Ling Yi's tone was ambiguous, perhaps even sarcastic: "After all, the mess left behind in the past is too big, and no one wants to give up their power, so the generals must be prepared."

"If it can be resolved gently, then resolve it gently; if it cannot, then kill."

The two Zhao brothers shuddered when they heard the last two words.

This woman doesn't even hide it from anyone anymore; do you think these two people can hear such things?

Can we let them leave?

Zhao Da tried to get his bottom off the stool, but Ling Yi gave him a half-smiling look, and he obediently stuck his bottom back onto the chair.

"How can we resolve this gently?" Master Xu interjected, "Like today? That's not impossible."

They were placed under house arrest, their accounts were audited in person, and after the audit, they were thrown into the city to be raised in luxury, and no longer allowed to lead troops.

It's a good idea, but it's a bit troublesome.

Ling Yi glanced at him, thinking to herself that this old man's methods were too crude; no wonder even the stubborn Xue Zhen couldn't convince him.

At that moment, the two people she was secretly criticizing simultaneously felt a chill run down their spines and sneezed together.

"Of course not." Ling Yi gave a fake smile: "Master Xu, what do you think is the reason why so many people in the army are wavering?"

Because the general has a face that looks like he's asking for death, and he always looks like he's looking for trouble!

Master Xu thought to himself, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, please enlighten me."

“Because there is no hope.” Ling Yi pointed out incisively, “They are only following a general, and the general is all alone. He has neither ambition nor a successor to inherit his cause. How can anyone have hope in that?”

What good is being powerful if you have no successor?

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If you were to get stabbed to death one day, wouldn't the rebel army be leaderless?

Even if you have an infant, everyone can support the young master and hold on for a while. But you don't even have an embryo. How can everyone hold on?

What other options are there besides internal strife and surrender?

This is also why the centrists waver. They may not be that bad; they just want to survive. Xue Zhen didn't give them that hope, so they have to look elsewhere.

Xue Zhen's thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Ling Yi with a deep gaze: "Is this my fault?"

His tone was somewhat dangerous, even Master Xu could tell.

It's not like no one has ever advised him to get married before, but this man is as stubborn and unyielding as a rock in a latrine, and he simply won't listen to any advice.

Over time, everyone came to believe that he might have been injured in the war and was therefore unable to have children.

Not getting married is to cover up this unspeakable secret!

Master Xu might not have disbelieved such rumors before, after all, he genuinely couldn't understand why someone who had achieved great success wouldn't want to get married.

But now, he has other ideas.

Some stones in a latrine, though solid, have a clear heart, only wanting to find someone who understands them.

For example, now everyone knows to peek at other girls, right?
