Xue Pan was determined to give Xiang Ling to Li Miao. These days, it is very common to give gifts to maids. But there are probably not many people like Xue Pan who are obviously reluctant to give up and still grit their teeth and give away gifts.
Xue Pan and Xiang Ling have a huge cause and effect, how could Li Miao accept it easily. Li Mansion's study is an important place, so how can anyone be there?
In the study room of Li Mansion, Li Miao sent someone to call Xiang Ling. When Xiang Ling entered Li Miao's inner study for the first time, it was inevitable that she would be nervous.
Xiangling came to Li Miao cautiously. You may also know that the moment has come to decide your own destiny. Xiang Ling, blushing with embarrassment, took out a small cloth bag from her underwear pocket. Then untie the small cloth bag.
A piece of Xiangling's body deed appeared on Li Miao's desk. It seems that Xue Pan has really made up his mind. A gentleman does not take away what others like, which is not feasible here in Li Miao. Now the key depends on Xiangling's attitude.
Xiangling is known as Xiangling, but Li Miao doesn't think so. Xiangling, who was kidnapped at the age of four, has gone through so many years of hardship. She has already formed a set of her own survival strategies.
And it should be, adapt to her own survival strategy. Xiangling did not choose to stand opposite Li Miao's desk, but stood directly in front of Li Miao. Head lowered, shoulders slumped. His hands and feet were rubbing together, looking very nervous.
Most people who come to Li Miao's study will either sit across from the desk or stand across from the desk. This is the first time that Xiang Ling has been in this situation. The key is that Li Miao didn't feel any surprise. It feels like it should be.
There is still a distance between people. If Li Miao's woman were in Xiangling's position. Even if he is sitting on Li Miao's lap, Li Miao can accept it. How did Xiangling do it?
Li Miao sat on the chair and carefully observed Xiang Ling in front of her. Xiangling's every move made Li Miao curious. Li Miao was sure that Xiang Ling's eyes were not on him. Even her peripheral vision was looking at her own toes.
Li Miao had a feeling that although Xiang Ling was not looking at him, she could sense her emotional changes. As an expert in the late stage of the Heavenly Dao Realm, Li Miao's perception should not be wrong.
Li Miao discovered through observation that Xiangling has the ability to sense her own emotional changes. This should be a skill developed through years of living by looking at people's faces. It seems that human potential is indeed terrible.
Now it seems that Xiren can feel Li Miao's prying eyes. It should also be a potential developed through long-term training. At this time, Li Miao became very interested in Xiangling in front of him.
As for whether to seek Xiangling's opinion, it is completely unnecessary now. If Xiang Ling wants to stay with Xue Pan, she has at least a hundred ways based on her abilities.
Li Miao casually threw Xiang Ling's body deed into the brazier. "From now on, you will be my personal maid. You can clean up the inner study while I am away." In fact, Li Miao doesn't even need to explain, I believe Qiu Sheng will take care of it.
Li Miao is not in a hurry to take Xiang Ling into the house, although taking the house in will be helpful to appease Xiang Ling. But Li Miao felt that as Xiangling cleansed the marrow and cut the pulse, he had the charm of Taoism. The original potential may be lost.
Now this potential in Xiangling is what Li Miao is most interested in. Although Li Miao is now an expert in the Heavenly Dao Realm, his understanding of the potential of the human body has only just begun. Not even fur.
Li Miao's two souls only had a superficial understanding of the human body itself. That is to say, we only understand the shape of the human body. I know almost nothing about Shen Yun.
Li Miao carefully observed Xiangling at every stage. It was discovered that Xiangling had gradually lost her alertness since becoming a personal maid. He began to lose his original abilities.
Li Miao vaguely felt that this ability even exceeded the scope of the Heavenly Dao realm.
Some human potential emerges in times of crisis. Similarly, when you are at ease, you will lose some abilities. Although Li Miao's state of enlightenment has not changed, he vaguely feels that these insights will be of great use to him in the future.
Li Miao understood these secrets that he accidentally discovered. It is far beyond the scope of my understanding. I had to let it go for the time being. Also put down together was Xiang Ling, who usually loves reading.
Li Miao began to focus on the war situation in the north, and sometimes the Northern Bureau even reported twice a day. It can be seen that the battle has entered a critical final stage. This year's Northern Bureau is destined to gain a lot. So far, more than 30,000 war horses have been captured.
The steppe Tatars never had the courage to fight hard. It's late January. The steppe Tatars have less time to attack. There is not enough food and grass supply. It is necessary to be tired and exhausted.
The strategic deployment of the Northern Bureau was correct, and the vigor of the steppe Tatars was slowly drained. In the next few days, the steppe Tatars began to enter, and Zhuangzi, which had been occupied before, rested.
This morning, Li Miao received the latest battle report from the Northern Bureau in his study. The grassland Tatars gathered nearly 100,000 horses and escorted some grain and grass. Adopting the strategy of leading horses and walking, they slowly retreated to the border.
Obviously this illustrates two problems. First, the grassland Tatars lack food and grass. In order to save horsepower, it was rare to lead the horse back. in response to the Northern Bureau's attack. Of course, there are also some steppe Tatars riding horses. Just in case something unexpected happens.
Second, the steppe Tatars clearly thought things through. The tail-cutting tactic was adopted, leaving more than 10,000 sick and weak steppe Tatars behind. Left to fend for themselves, their survival depends on the mercy of the Northern Bureau.
In fact, this is also the wisest approach, although it seems a bit cruel. From the perspective of preserving strength, it is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
More than 10,000 disabled and sick steppe Tatars were left behind. Their horses were all taken away by the large army. In other words, this winter's campaign and the Northern Bureau's gains have completely come to an end.
Unless the Northern Bureau dares to take the initiative, it is obviously impossible. The Northern Bureau will definitely not engage in a lose-lose situation. Not to mention that both sides were hurt here, and it was obviously the Northern Bureau that was hurt more seriously.
Maybe these grassland Tatars are still looking forward to the Northern Bureau's attack? These grassland Tatars have had a really miserable winter. They were forced by the Northern Bureau to climb the wall and attack the infantry of the farm.
So in the next few days, the Northern Bureau could only watch helplessly as more than 100,000 war horses slowly retreated to the grassland. The senior officials of the Northern Bureau looked at the demoralized steppe Tatars and could only look at the horse and sigh.
Just like this sick cat-like steppe Tatars, the Northern Bureau still has nothing to do with them. It seems that it is urgent to cultivate a well-trained cavalry. It is obviously impossible to achieve brilliant results by blindly defending.
This time, the Northern Bureau responded appropriately and prepared for more than half a year in advance. The grassland Tatars were lured into the trap they set in advance. But at the critical moment, there is still a lack of decisive field strength.
The fate of the disabled and sickly steppe Tatars who followed was already doomed. It is also impossible for the Northern Bureau to temporarily change the reward and punishment measures established before the war.
It is a big taboo to change orders morning and night. If the aggressors are not eliminated, will they have to be given care for themselves until they die?
In the eyes of the guards and escorts, these sick and disabled steppe Tatars. It's still a waste of money, and a lot more, and the merit points are still the same. It's almost like picking it up for free.
Even though his injuries had not yet healed, Lei Dagang picked up two heads. If Lei Zhengxiong hadn't pulled hard, he would have picked up more. Lei Dagang also suffered from old wounds. After reapplying the medicine, his left arm was hung around his neck again.
At this point, this winter's northern war is completely over. The Northern Bureau and Shunfeng Transportation Escort Bureau have entered the post-war statistical stage. There is no doubt that the escorts from Shunfeng Transportation Escort Agency will be the lucky ones in this battle this year.
Li Miao received the final battle report from the Northern Bureau and captured a total of more than 36,000 war horses. These include nearly 8,000 injured horses that can be nursed back to health. Nearly 50,000 grassland Tatar heads were captured.
Li Miao estimated that there must be thousands of foreign heads dug out here. After all, a prairie Tatar head costs fifty taels of silver. It's still cost-effective to spend some effort to dig it out.
Li Miao was satisfied with the results of this northern campaign. It was a small price to pay for the Northern Bureau. The guards and bodyguards suffered more than 7,000 casualties. Nearly five thousand people died in the battle.
Most of them were killed while preventing the steppe Tatars from advancing deep into North Zhili. Their deaths bought valuable time for the Northern Bureau's overall strategic adjustment.
In a sense, they are the biggest contributors to this battle. none of them.
Li Miao also wrote to the Northern Bureau, requesting double pensions for the guards and bodyguards who died in the battle. In addition to double pensions for disabled guards and escorts, they also need to be properly accommodated.
We will never let these heroes and their families suffer any further injustice. In fact, the Northern Bureau and Shunfeng Transportation Escort Bureau had formulated perfect regulations long before the war. Li Miao just emphasized again that the pension would be doubled.
There were very few innocent civilian casualties in this battle. Those who do not obey the orders of the Northern Bureau, except the farms of big families. None of the farms organized by the Northern Bureau were captured. Those big family farms definitely contributed a lot to this.
For this reason, after the war, Li Miao's progress in improving his destiny accelerated a lot again.
