Chapter 1045 - Future Commander Is Benevolent (1/2)

Honestly speaking, Ren Xiaosu felt a little uncomfortable discussing the policies of the Prosperous Northwest with Wang Yuexi and the others.

It was not that he did not want the Northwest to prosper, nor was it that he did not understand what Wang Yuexi and the others were talking about. On the contrary, he knew quite a bit.

But for some reason, he felt that it was a little difficult to execute his plans with decent people such as Wang Yuexi. He always felt that carrying out those plans in a proper and orderly way was not in line with his character.

Now that he was conspiring with the Great Hoodwinker, he found that it matched his energy much better. This was what the Prosperous Northwest's plan should be like!

”First of all, we have to bring those people back here.” Ren Xiaosu said, ”As you know, they're all starving in the Central Plains. It's still not that bad right now since there's still bark they can chew on. But there's hundreds of thousands of escapees and refugees there. Who knows, there could already be more than a million of them. Even if there's bark and roots for them to survive on, it's not enough to keep so many people alive. When I think about how they're about to starve to death because of me, I get really sad!”

The Great Hoodwinker hurriedly said, ”Future Commander is benevolent. I didn't expect Future Commander to not only be skilled in literature and combat but also put the world's concerns before your own. I've thought about it carefully. We definitely cannot let those people starve to death like this!”

The two of them exchanged a look and grinned at each other.

”Moreover,” the Great Hoodwinker changed the subject, ”it's not only the escapees and refugees of the Zhou Consortium who can join the Prosperous Northwest!”

Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up. ”Who else is there?”

”Future Commander, have you forgotten what I said? Some of the Pyro Company's remnant troops have just fled north to the border of the steppe, and their commander has been executed by the Wang Consortium. They're without a leader.” The Great Hoodwinker said, ”Those troops are very prideful and refuse to yield to anyone. No matter whose territory they end up in, whoever takes them in will have a headache on their hands. But in our Northwest, we have just the person who can convince the Pyro Company's members….”

The Great Hoodwinker was referring to P5092!

As a matter of fact, during the battle at the northern front line of the Great Wall, P5092 gained the respect and admiration of most of the frontline commanders and soldiers. It was just that the Pyro Company was so stubborn they insisted on holding them accountable for the loss.

In the end, for the sake of the overall situation, P5092 took all the blame and left by himself. This was not only an honorable act but also a great favor to the commanders of the various Pyro Company divisions.

If it were anyone else who was dispatched to bring the Pyro Company's remnants under control, those troops would likely maintain their pride and refuse to accept any form of subjugation even though they were already a defeated force. But if it were P5092 who went, it would be a completely different situation!

Ren Xiaosu facepalmed. ”That's right! There's still so many Pyro Company soldiers who're starving in the North. If P5092 finds out about this, he'll probably feel sorry for them too. Those soldiers have bled for the Central Plains, and I was even a little moved when they said that they were fighting to ensure that humanity in the Central Plains could survive. Who could bear to let them starve? I'll have someone summon P5092 right away.”

After that, Ren Xiaosu and the Great Hoodwinker looked at each other and grinned again.

When P5092 arrived, Ren Xiaosu bluntly ordered, ”It's like this: I need you to make a trip to the north of the Central Plains to gather your old troops and comrades for the Prosperous Northwest.”

The Great Hoodwinker added on about the current situation of those Pyro Company soldiers.
