"Senior Guard Meng, congratulations! Breaking through the Yexian tribe and killing thousands of enemies was a great merit. I believe the imperial court will reward you handsomely!”
A young scholar hurriedly walked into the tent and congratulated Meng Dan! However, his expression did not look too good!
He was a civil servant, and his body was weak to begin with. He had been tormented along the way when he had followed Meng Dan's protection headquarters for thousands of miles!
But this was not the reason why he was angry!
"Thank you! Xun Lingjun, please take a seat!" Meng Dan smiled calmly as he looked at the young man in front of him with an inexplicable expression!
Xun You, also known as Gongda, was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan. He was a top strategist at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was known as the 'mastermind'!
The Xun Family was the most powerful family in Jin, and only the Yuan Family and a few other families could compare to them!
With such a background, even if Xun You was only a small official, no one dared to underestimate him!
Xun You had just been recruited by the high-ranking guard, He Jin, to be the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate. He hadn't expected him to take the initiative to request to join the Western Expedition Army as the Imperial Court's special envoy!
This time, they had requested to follow Meng Dan in the most dangerous and difficult task. Even the commander of Planet West Expedition, Huangfu Song, could not persuade him to do so!
This matter also made many people look at him in a new light. He did not seem to be a useless young master of an aristocratic family!
Meng Dan had never looked down on him. After all, Xun You was not famous at the moment, but in terms of intelligence, he was comparable to Jia Fujun!
Meng Dan had the intention to take him under his wing, but he was obviously not interested in him. With the top-notch Xun Clan backing him, Meng Dan, this middle-ranking general, had only just stepped onto the stage!
It was still far from enough to make Xun You pledge loyalty. This was not the time for the Xixi Secret Service Group to control the country's management power!
Therefore, Mondain had never shown any intentions these days. He had only treated him with a normal heart!
Xun You hurriedly waved his hand in the face of Meng Dan's politeness."I don't dare to be called a high-level guard!”
He was just a vice minister of the Yellow Family. Meng Dan could call him the Lord, but he did not dare to accept it openly. After all, his status was still far from enough!
He was still the top strategist by Cao Sang's side in the future!
After being interrupted by Meng Dan, Xun You's aura clearly weakened a little. However, he still recalled and hurriedly said,"Senior guard, do you know what happened in the camp?”
"How ridiculous is it that the security headquarters of Jin Country bullied a woman? This is a blatant violation of military law. Senior guard, please give the order to stop this!”
Xun You said seriously, his face filled with anger. He didn't participate in the battle, but waited until the battle was over before coming to the camp!
However, he did not expect to see such a scene. The Xixi Army soldiers, who were previously valiant and able to destroy the Qiang people, were actually bullying women like soldiers!
The screams of the women in the camp and Xixi Jin Zi's cheers rang out together!
Even if those women were from other races, Xun You, who had been educated by the Confucians, still couldn't accept this!
This matter had a huge impact on him, which was why he came to Meng Dan in a huff to ask him to stop this matter!
However, after Meng Dan heard this, he still sat calmly on the seat of honor. He ate a lamb leg and drank a bowl of wine before saying to Xun You,
"Angel, there is no need to be anxious. I already know about this matter. Let's sit down and talk slowly!”
Meng Dan's performance was neither fast nor slow, but Xun You couldn't stand it. He said to Meng Dan in a deep voice,"High-level guard, this is definitely not the work of the royal army!”
Meng Dan smiled lightly and didn't think much of it. He realized that Xun You was still a young man with outstanding wisdom and wisdom. He still didn't have the bearing of a mastermind!
His sense of justice was bursting, and sometimes he was filled with ideals. He could not understand the demands of the soldiers at the bottom of the class in this era!
What he saw was only limited to the imperial court, his chest was filled with heroic spirit! He could not stand some dirty things!
However, this was the truest side of this era. However, he believed that after this western expedition to quell the rebellion, his three views would change greatly!
And now, Mondain still needed to talk to him properly!
"Xun Lingjun, I have five thousand soldiers under my command. They have been ordered by the Imperial Court to quell the rebellion in the west. This time, they have traveled thousands of miles.”Meng Dan smiled indifferently.
It was as if he was laughing at himself, but it was more like grief. This was the fate of these Xixi soldiers. Meng Dan had joined the Jin army when he was young, experienced countless battles, and walked all the way to the high position of Zhonglang General!
However, behind him were piles of white bones. Not only the bones of his enemies, but also the bones of his guards!
Mondain was already used to this, but it didn't mean that he could ignore everything! His Xixi Army soldiers were fighting for him!
Meng Dan must not disappoint them!
"The soldiers of our Xixi Army have suffered countless casualties. What are they doing? This general had promised them that every bit of effort they put in would be rewarded!”
"Those women are just our spoils of war!”Meng Dan sat at the head of the table and spoke with an indifferent expression. His tone was somewhat cold, causing Xun You to feel somewhat uncomfortable!
But he still said angrily,"The court will reward the soldiers for their contributions, but they should not torture those defenseless women!"”
"We are the headquarters of the Jin Country, not the barbarians like the Xiongnu Xianbei!”Xun You said to Meng Dan!
Jin was an era when the people were the most confident. All the foreigners were like beasts in the eyes of the people of Jin. They were all barbarians!
Jin's nationalism was unprecedentedly strong!
The extermination of the foreign tribes was nothing in the eyes of the Jin people, but the Confucian teachings told Xun You that what was happening in the camp was definitely a nightmare!
It was a blasphemy against Jin Jin's military law! The security headquarters of Jin should be the king's army. How could they attack unarmed women like those foreign barbarians?
It had to be said that Xun You was still a young man who had just stepped into the royal court. He was full of ideals and had never experienced the cruelty of reality!
Although he was as resourceful as Jia Fujun, he was not as ruthless as Jia Fujun, especially when the Confucians were full of benevolence and righteousness, which was even more harmful to scholars like them!
That was why he had appeared in Mondain's tent. If it was a big shot who had been in the imperial court for more than ten years, he would have hugged a girl and gone happily!
Hearing Xun You's anger, Meng Dan smiled indifferently. He put down his wine bowl and said coldly,"Xun Lingjun is comparing our Xixi Army with the Xiongnu people and Xianbei people?”
"Haha!" Meng Dan laughed loudly. His cold and stern gaze suddenly became incomparably fierce. He stared straight at Xun You like a knife!
"I can tell you that our Western Army will be even more ruthless than those barbarians. We will do even more ruthless things. We will make everyone fear us and tremble when they see us!”
"The enemy in front of us only has one path, and that is death! Our Xixi Army is a wolf!"
Meng Dan said coldly and threw the wine bowl on the ground. Although he thought highly of Xun You, he was just spoiling him without any restraint!
Meng Dan didn't need others to tell him what to do!
The Xixi Army was a pack of wolves, and they needed to eat meat. Only by feeding them could they display their powerful combat strength!
If the wolf pack was unable to release their beastly nature, it would sooner or later backfire!
