My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

The rising smoke from the chimneys, along with the aroma of meat and rice, made one's mouth water.

"Gurgle..."

Su Xiaomei's stomach growled, and the little girl blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Su Xinghai smiled and reached out to pat his younger sister's head.

Mother Su quickly brought out the food, beaming with joy.

"Eat!"

The whole family ate heartily and were all stuffed; the little girl's belly was round and bulging.

This was the most satisfying and plentiful meal our family had had in years.

"The meat and rice are so delicious, I wish I could eat them every day."

The little girl looked on with longing and dreams.

"You! You're lucky if you get to eat it once in a while, you want to eat it every day."

Mother Su gently tapped the little girl's forehead with her finger.

"Don't worry, little sister, your brother will fight bravely and make sure you can eat meat and rice every day."

Su Xinghai assured his younger sister.

"Mother, please pack your things tomorrow, we'll leave here in a few days."

Su Xinghai's sudden decision to move caught his mother off guard.

"We were living comfortably, why are you suddenly moving out?"

Su's mother hurriedly pressed for more information.

The family of three has lived here for many years and is familiar with their neighbors. They can help each other out if anyone needs help.

In today's turbulent world, moving to an unfamiliar environment without proper preparation not only requires time to familiarize oneself with everything around one, but may also involve encountering some dangers.

Su Xinghai explained to his mother, "Mother, Lord Li loves his soldiers like his own children. Knowing that we are worried about the family and cannot rest easy, he decided to designate the area near the garrison commander's residence as a place for military families to live. Any family member of a soldier can go there to live."

Li Xuancang did his utmost to ensure that his soldiers had no worries about their safety.

Only after their families are settled can they fight bravely against the enemy.

War is cruel. These soldiers have to fight to the death because of his orders. Li Xuancang can only do his best to ensure that they do not sacrifice in vain.

"What? It's true that we can live near the garrison commander's residence?"

Su's mother was so overwhelmed by this incredible good news that she couldn't believe it.

The Garrison Commander's Office is located in the heart of Ganquan County and is also the safest place.

On ordinary days, a garrison commander is personally stationed there, and troops are constantly patrolling.

It's not far from the military camp, so even if something happens, the army can arrive quickly.

Many high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and other dignitaries longed to live there but could not obtain it.

How could Su's mother not be extremely excited that they were allowed to stay there?

If what Su Xinghai said is true, their safety will be greatly guaranteed.

The neighbors are all Zhanbing's family members, and they can help each other out.

"That's right, we'll be moving there in three days."

The thought that his mother and sister could live near the garrison commander's mansion made Su Xinghai feel extremely at ease.

Even when he's out fighting enemies, he doesn't have to worry about the safety of his family all the time.

Even if someone dies on the battlefield, their family will be properly taken care of and will not be abandoned like trash.

"My son! The garrison commander has treated you so well, you must follow him closely and do your best to repay his great kindness."

It's truly a blessing from the Su family ancestors that their son was able to encounter a loyal and righteous general like Li Xuancang.

Su's mother was extremely relieved at this moment, thankful that she had not stopped her son from joining the army.

Ordinary people have a simple mindset: to repay kindness.

They felt they should repay Li Xuancang for his kindness.

"Mother, I know. I will definitely kill more enemies to repay Lord Li's kindness."

Su Xinghai was extremely grateful to Li Xuancang and became even more loyal to him.

This scene played out repeatedly in the city, and many people felt endless gratitude towards Li Xuancang.

The next morning, Li Xuancang arrived at the military camp early.

"All compensation must be delivered to the families of the fallen soldiers and they must be brought back to the city to be settled."

Li Xuancang, with a serious expression, gave instructions to Wang Xiaoniu and the others.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will complete the mission without the slightest mistake."

Wang Xiaoniu solemnly assured Li Xuancang.

"I trust you to handle things, go ahead!"

The words "I trust you to handle things" moved Wang Xiaoniu so much that his eyes reddened.

This shows Li Xuancang's trust in him, and he cannot afford to let anything go wrong.

Li Xuancang attached great importance to this matter, which is why he put Wang Xiaoniu in charge personally.

After Wang Xiaoniu and the others left, Li Xuancang instructed, "Place the heads of these grassland barbarians at the execution ground for everyone to see."

Li Xuancang wanted everyone to see the heads of the grassland people, to let them know that the grassland people were not invincible.

People from the grasslands are also made of flesh and blood, not three heads and six arms.

He wanted to make the people no longer fear the grassland people and no longer be afraid of the grassland.

After giving his orders, Li Xuancang arrived at a military camp, where Yang Tiangang immediately came to greet him.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Li Xuancang waved his hand and asked, "How many warhorses do you have now?"

Yang Tiangang immediately replied, "My lord, there are a total of 8,600 warhorses."

Li Xuancang nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Most of these warhorses were captured in the previous battle, and the rest were sold to him by various merchant guilds.

"Recruit two thousand men to form the Tiger Legion."

With these warhorses, Li Xuancang could finally build the cavalry he had always dreamed of.

Nangong Zhan acted swiftly; in just over an hour, the heads of thousands of grassland people were piled up to form three mounds of skulls.

The news spread quickly and shocked the entire city.

People flocked to the execution ground like a tidal wave, quickly filling it to overflowing capacity.

"They really are grassland people; there must be six or seven thousand of them, right?"

"These are all the heads of grassland people; no innocent people were killed and falsely claimed as merit."

"What? It's true! The army didn't exaggerate or fabricate their achievements."

"..."

The sight of the Jingguan, a mound of over seven thousand human heads, was horrifying to all who witnessed it.

Those who had initially thought Li Xuancang was exaggerating and fabricating his war achievements were greatly shocked.

This was completely different from what they had imagined. The heads in front of them were real and could not be faked; Li Xuancang had not exaggerated his battle achievements.

"That felt great, so much better!"

"Hahaha, that's so satisfying!"

"The grassland people don't seem that scary."

"..."

The nomads of the grasslands frequently plundered, causing great suffering to the people, who hated them to the core.

Seeing these bloody human heads, I felt not the slightest fear, but rather an immense sense of satisfaction.

"While Lord Li's actions were shocking, they also offended the grassland people. If they find out, they will certainly not let this go."

Some people are worried.

While Li Xuancang's actions were gratifying, they were extremely insulting to the people of the grasslands.

If the grassland tribes knew that Li Xuancang had insulted them in this way, they would surely raise an army to invade, and then a new war would break out.

"He's gone mad, Li Xuancang has truly gone mad."

"This is a lawless madman."

"Li Xuancang acts without considering the consequences, which will inevitably bring about a great disaster."

"..."

The Liangzhou army was terrified at the sight.

They knew all too well how terrifying the grassland people were. Such extreme provocation from Li Xuancang was absolutely intolerable to them, and a new war was about to break out.
