At the end of November.
Heavy snow was flying everywhere. The once-in-a-thousand-year Little Ice Age had collided with this dark era.
A young man in white robes and silver armor was carrying a long spear on his back and leading a snow-white warhorse. He was worshipping the monument of the expeditionary army in front of the Yin Mansion's gate.
After paying their respects.
The young man had a respectful expression as he slowly stepped into the Yin Mansion.
At this moment, although it was snowing heavily, the people in the city were bustling with activity. They placed items on the roadside for sale, and buyers were also stockpiling goods for the winter.
Not too long later.
The young man appeared in front of the Northguard Prefecture with his white horse. He bowed to Li Wei and said,""General, please enter the residence and inform the North Garrison Marquis that Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain is here to pay his respects!”
"Yes!"
Li Wei nodded slightly and turned around to enter the mansion.
He did not expect that there would be two people today, even though no one had come in the past two months.
In the main hall of the Northguard Prefecture.
Chen Mu and Ju Shou were receiving Xun You from Yingchuan.
Li Wei walked into the hall with a solemn expression and said respectfully,"My lord, there is a young man carrying a silver spear outside the door. He said that he is Zhao Zilong from Changshan and has come to visit the residence.”
"Swoosh!"
Chen Mu was startled. He narrowed his eyes and asked,"You're saying that he's Zhao Zilong from Chang Mountain?"?”
Li Wei nodded and said respectfully," That's what he said himself. White horse, white robe, silver armor, silver spear, like a scholar!"”
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile," Summon the commanders of the various armies into the manor. Jushou, Gongda, the two of you will follow me out to meet this guest who has come all the way from Jizhou. What do you think?"”
Xun Shou and Xun You looked at each other and smiled faintly."How dare I disobey the Lord's orders!"
"Haha!"
Chen Mu laughed out loud and lifted his robe as he walked out of the manor.?
In front of the gate of the Northern Prefecture.
Chen Mu and the other two led Zhao Yun into the manor.
Qiushou looked at the long spear on Zhao Yun's back and the calluses on her hands. He smiled faintly and said,""General, you are so young, but your palm has such thick calluses. You must have practiced martial arts for many years.”
"You flatter me, sir." Zhao Yun said respectfully,"I went up the mountain with my master to learn martial arts when I was young. I only left the mountain a month ago!"”
"Oh?"
"Coming to Bingzhou right after leaving the mountain!" Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise.”
" Yes," said Zhao Yun in awe." I didn't expect such a disaster to befall the Great Han Dynasty. I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei has unparalleled martial arts skills and is concerned about the country's affairs. Not only can he guard the northern border alone, but he also suppressed the Yellow Turban disaster by himself. That's why I'm here to pay my respects!"”
"I don't dare to shoulder the credit of the Great Han soldiers alone!”
Chen Mu chuckled. He knew that this was the effect of the system's Civil and Military Recruiting Order. He immediately said,""Haha, I'm going on an expedition to the Xianbei next year and I'm lacking a general like Zilong.”
"Ever since I entered Bing Province, I've heard the people talking about the Northguard Marquis 'upcoming expedition to the South Xiongnu.”Zhao Yun said solemnly.
"Who dares to be the vanguard to defeat the Xiongnu?”
Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the hall.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Gao Shun, and the others entered the residence together, all of them wearing unhappy expressions.
Chen Mu had already said that he would only send Zuo Xiaowei for this battle.?
Now, someone actually dared to request to be the vanguard general in the residence.
The word " vanguard " had a special meaning to Northguard Prefecture.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and the others had long since agreed that one could not be the vanguard unless they were certain of victory.
"Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain!"
Zhao Yun slowly stood up and swept her cold gaze across the group of generals.
He was a smart man. He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Northguard Prefecture, he had to first gain the approval of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and the others. Otherwise, even if Chen Mu approved of him, he would have to hide in the army.
"Zhao Zilong!"
Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were only one step apart, and they were facing each other. Even their auras were about to hit each other's faces.
" I've heard of Lu Fengxian, the most courageous general under the command of the Northguard Marquis," Zhao Yun said with narrowed eyes.”
"Ke Bu has never heard of you. Do you know what the vanguard general means to my lord, to me, and to the entire Northguard Prefecture?”Lu Bu's voice was shrill as he stared at Zhao Yun's face.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said,"I know. Back then, you were the vanguard of the Xianbei expedition!"”
"Then you still dare to volunteer to be the vanguard general?" Lu Bu's eyes were filled with viciousness.”
"Naturally!"
"Guarding the border is my lifelong ambition!”
" No matter what happened back then, I believe that we won't fail this time. The Northern Battlefront Army of the Great Han Dynasty can march straight into the Xiongnu's palace. With the hundreds of years of hatred between the Great Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, Zhao Zilong of Changshan is willing to be the vanguard to defeat the Xiongnu!”Zhao Yun replied firmly.
"Ha, ha ha!"
"Wenyuan, Zhao Zilong is quite similar to the lord who was in charge of the vanguard army!" Lu Bu chuckled.”
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao nodded.
Chen Mu took a sip of tea and smiled faintly." Alright, take a seat. I haven't been able to choose a vanguard previously. It just so happens that Zilong has plans to be the vanguard, so I'm going to use him. Do you have any objections?"”
"No!"
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao said.
Gao Shun and Zhang He nodded and said respectfully,""Whatever my lord decides!"
