5
In his previous life, Jia Huan was an orphan. In this life, whether it was the stubborn but soft-hearted Aunt Zhao or the smart Jia Tanchun, they both made Jia Huan feel the warmth of family.
Therefore, he had another reason to establish himself in this world. This time, he had to earn some military merits.
A few days later, Jia Huan changed into the armor of a Zhicong Commandant sent over. He rode a dark horse and headed to the capital camp with the Overlord Breaking Formation Spear in his hand.
The 100,000-strong army that the Emperor had recruited was currently reorganizing in the capital camp. He only needed to go there to report, and then he would set out in three days.
However, in reality, countless people in the court were not optimistic about this expedition because the 100,000 soldiers recruited were basically a motley crew. Moreover, who knew how many of them were paid for nothing.
How could a group of untrained farmers, most of whom were old, weak, sick, and disabled, fight against the brave Tartars?
But the emperor had no choice! Because the authority of the capital camp was in the Retired Emperor's hands.
The four royal dukes were all founding fathers and had been loyal to the Retired Emperor for more than fifty years. Wang Ziteng was also a relative of the Jia Clan, one of the four great clans.
Thus, he was originally the Retired Emperor's man, so the capital camp was still under the Retired Emperor's control.
The most elite capital camp could not be mobilized, so the emperor could only temporarily recruit 100,000 farmers to form a 100,000-strong army to attack the north.
One could imagine how chaotic the Zhou Dynasty was now. The Emperor wanted to make some contributions, but the various factions were fighting for power, and he did not feel at ease at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jia Huan rode his Dark Stallion all the way to the capital camp. Because he had a waist token, he could ride a horse in the city. Otherwise, he could not ride a horse on the streets of the capital.
"What's that?"
The soldiers at the entrance of the capital camp were stunned when they saw a figure galloping over from afar.
In the distance, under the light, they saw a valiant general holding an incomparably huge spear. He looked extraordinary.
"Phew!"
At the entrance of the capital camp, Jia Huan pulled on the reins, and the Dark Stallion suddenly raised its head. A peerless aura erupted from Jia Huan's body.
He was wearing armor and was a soldier, so he naturally released the aura of the Conqueror Xiangyu.
The hundreds of soldiers at the entrance of the capital camp were all shocked. When had they ever seen such a general in the capital?
The current generals of the capital were all fallen nobles who only knew how to live in a drunken dream or talk about war on paper. There were only a handful of powerful and extraordinary people like Jia Huan.
"This general is Lieutenant Jia Huan and is here to join the team!”
Jia Huan shouted loudly, shocking the soldiers who were training inside.
A deputy general looked at Jia Huan outside and thought to himself.
"Jia Huan? Could it be from the Jia family?"
Back then, the two Dukes Ning and Rong had extremely high prestige in the army because they could be conferred the title of King of a different surname. However, the two Dukes knew when to advance and when to retreat.
He said that the two brothers were trusted by the emperor and did not dare to accept such a reward. In the end, the two brothers each asked for a Duke.
Therefore, although the two Manors were in dire straits, no one dared to underestimate them. Every family had to give them some face because the Imperial Family remembered the good deeds of the two Dukes.
Most of the generals in the army were the descendants of the generals who had followed the two dukes, which showed the prestige of the Jia family and the two residences in the army.
Just like that, Jia Huan registered his identity and officially became a member of the Northern Expedition Army.
The Northern Conquest Army would be led by Niu Jizong, the grandson of Niu Qing, the current First Uncle.
There were five generals under him, and one of them caught Jia Huan's attention, that was Marquis Ningyuan, Gu Yankai.
"Gu Tingye's father?"
Jia Huan thought to himself in a corner of the tent. However, from this, one could see the power of the four dukes and twelve marquises.
Niu Jizong was only a first-class uncle, while Marquis Ningyuan was a third-class marquis. His rank was one rank higher than Niu Jizong, but he still obeyed Niu Jizong.
The Zhou Dynasty swept across the eight wastelands and had a lot of founding merits. Naturally, there were not only four dukes and twelve marquises.
However, these people were the top nobles of the Zhou Dynasty. Back then, they were the first to follow the Zhou Taizu to raise an army. They were far from what the meritorious officials who joined later could compare to.
Marquis Ningyuan's residence was the residence of a meritorious official that had joined later on. Even though Gu Yankai had kept his rank as a first marquis at third marquis, he still had to listen to the first uncle, Niu Jizong.
Niu Jizong did not even look at Jia Huan. Although he knew that he was a descendant of the Jia family, as an old relative, he knew that Jia Huan was not favored in the Jia residence and was a good-for-nothing. Naturally, he would not pay too much attention to him.
He only said a few words according to the procedure. In any case, it was just a formality. He conveyed the emperor's request and decree.
After the meeting ended, Jia Huan's superior, the guerrilla general, found Jia Huan and brought him a piece of news.
That was that the Northern Expedition Army did not have enough people, so he needed to recruit the 3,000 soldiers he should have.
Jia Huan was not stupid. Looking at the ridicule in the guerrilla general's eyes, he immediately knew that someone was behind this. Other than Madam Wang, he could not think of anyone else.
However, they did not know that he still had 3,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry that he had yet to summon.
Now that he was asked to recruit soldiers, this was simply the heavens helping him. Otherwise, he did not know how to arrange for these three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry.
However, they definitely could not recruit soldiers here. They had to go to Youzhou first and then undergo three months of training there before officially entering the battlefield.
