chapter XXXI
Ning Mo couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of having connections when he saw these people following the old man's footsteps to recommend him. Although fighting in the cold winter would definitely cause him to suffer, Ning Mo didn't care.
This expedition was exactly what he wanted!
The Chu Emperor looked at Ning Mo with a smile."
"Marquis Wu An, what do you think?"
At that moment,
He stood up.
He bowed towards the Chu Emperor and volunteered,"
"This subject is willing to go to the northern grasslands and gallop around!”
Pa da---
The Chu Emperor had a satisfied smile on his face.
He stamped the imperial edict that he had prepared on the table.
"Alright, it's decided!"
"Take 40,000 elites from the East Army and the Great Chu Black Cavalry, a total of 68,000 people. After arriving at the border, take 40,000 elites from Luo Langping, a total of 108,000 people, and hand them over to you!”
As they spoke.
The Chu Emperor walked down from his throne and handed the imperial edict to Ning Mo."
"This battle is to put pressure on the Tartars and gain the upper hand for the negotiation group.”
He received the imperial edict.
Ning Mo's face was solemn."
"This subject will obey!"
At the same time,
Ning Mo sighed in his heart.
The efficiency of this court was ridiculously high!
In just half a day,
Everything from the strategy to the appointment of the diplomatic mission, the deployment of troops, and so on was decided in an extremely short period of time. Moreover, the diplomatic mission and the army had to set off within three days!
This efficiency…
It was really high.
……
Duke Ying's Public House.
In the old master's study.
After leaving the Imperial City, Ning Mo followed the old man to the Duke of Ying's Public House.
"This time, it's as you wished.”
The old man sat beside the fire.
He said,"
"You're the only one in our dynasty to be in command at such a young age!”
He smiled.
Ning Mo said,"
"This time, the commander's expedition is equivalent to bringing an army to the snowy plains for a while. It's not the kind of commander that disciple wants!”
He smiled and shook his head.
In the old master's eyes,
With a wise look in his eyes, he said,
"What do you know?"
"This time, you've led the army. As long as you haven't made any major mistakes, even if you have experience in leading the army, the next time the real war comes, His Majesty will appoint you as commander. Only then will the officials be at ease and be convinced!”
Hearing this.
Ning Mo smiled."
"This disciple understands this principle. It's just that in my heart, I more or less have some regrets!”
The old man chuckled.
He said,"
"You brat, be content! I didn't even have such a chance back then! Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to be the vice marshal and vice general several times before he had the chance to lead the army!”
He nodded.
Ning Mo expressed that he understood.
Very quickly.
The old man began to plan many things with Ning Mo for this expedition. After having dinner at the Duke of Ying's estate, Ning Mo left and returned to his own manor.
……
He had just returned to the Marquisdom.
Ning Mo instructed the butler, Li Yuan,"
"Take my token and call Shen Zhong, Chen Zhiping, and Dongfang Yun over!”
Hearing this.
Li Yuan bowed and accepted the order."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Previously, after using one personal guard slot on Shen Zhong, he gave two more personal guard slots to Chen Zhiping and Dongfang Yun. This time, he naturally brought along his loyal subordinates.
Not to mention anything else,
It wasn't a problem for them to earn some battle credits.
After he had trained these concubines, the power of the West Chu army would gradually fall into his hands. At that time, he would not have to worry about anything else.
As for why they could use the personal guard slots and not choose the Di sons of the various prefectures?
The reason was simple.
If he wanted to use the personal guard quota, he had to get the other party to agree!
The sons of the Di families were very arrogant. Even some of the sons of the Shu families would not lower their status to become Ning Mo's personal guards. Thus, Ning Mo had only given out three personal guards so far!
Of course.
Ning Mo didn't take this matter to heart!
An hour later.
Shen Zhong and the other two arrived at Ning Mo's manor.
In the study room.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Standing respectfully in front of Ning Mo, Shen Zhong and the other two bowed.
He waved his hand.
Ning Mo said,"
"No need to be so polite!"
After the three of them were dismissed,
Ning Mo went straight to the point."
"I called you over so late at night to inform you of two things. The first thing is that all of you will report to the Great Chu Black Cavalry tomorrow and be prepared to follow me to the expedition!”
"Second, tell me about the weapons you are good at. I have some high-quality weapons that I can give you. It will increase your chances of survival on the battlefield!”
Shen Zhong and the other two,
Their identities were different!
Since they were of great use, Ning Mo didn't mind giving away some of the weapons he had obtained from the lottery.
It was not only Shen Zhong and the other two who had it.
Gao Shun, Chen Zhong, Wei Tong, Li Liang, Han Zhao, Liu Cheng, and Zhao Da all had them. The other personal guards had also been rewarded. Ning Mo had never been stingy with those who were completely loyal to him!
She was excited about the news that she was going to follow Ning Mo to the expedition.
Shen Zhong and the other two did not stand on ceremony either:
"Lord Marquis, this subordinate is skilled in using spears!”
"This subordinate is good at using the crescent blade!"
"This subordinate is good at using halberds!"
After hearing the weapons that the three of them requested, Ning Mo did not hide anything. He took out the weapons that he had stored in his system space and rewarded them.
He was rewarded with a weapon.
Ning Mo's face was solemn."
"The army will set off in three days! Go down and make your preparations. Don't embarrass me! Whether you can use this war to turn things around will depend on your own abilities!”
Shen Zhong and the other two were not afraid,
With a serious expression, he said,
"Here!"
He waved his hand.
After letting the three people who had obtained the items leave,
Ning Mo sat alone in the study."
"Is this battle really just a formality?”
"One hundred thousand against four hundred thousand…It's very difficult, but it's not impossible! The main problem is the rations…Although I can take them out, there are still 80,000 people who are not completely loyal to me!”
This was a huge hindrance.
Ning Mo really didn't want to go for a stroll like this!
Da da--
His fingers tapped on the armrest.
Ning Mo started to think about how he could maximize his contribution in this battle and even destroy the main force of the Tartars!
……
Three days.
The news that the Tartars had once again locked down the pass had already spread throughout the West Chu Imperial Capital.
At the same time,
The news that Ning Mo, Marquis of Wu 'an, would once again lead his army to the Northern Territory had also spread.
For a moment,
There were all kinds of arguments in the capital:
"Marquis Wu 'an is already leading the army at the age of fifteen. This is a precedent for our dynasty!”
"Wasn't he the one who caused this mess? If he hadn't treated the diplomatic mission like that, how could such a disaster have happened?”
"What do you know? How could the matters of the Imperial Court be decided by a Marquis like Marquis Wu An? The matter of the diplomatic mission was clearly the unanimous stance of all the officials in the imperial court!”
“……”
Among the people,
There were still people with clear minds.
Three days passed quietly under the situation where everyone had different opinions and discussions.
On this day…
At the entrance of the Marquis of Wuan Manor.
A hundred of Ning Mo's personal guards, each wearing black armor, holding a spear, and carrying a saber at their waists, were waiting for him without saying a word.
At the front,
The White Dragon super warhorse had a saddle on it, and it was equipped with Overlord Spear, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, Black Dragon Bow, and a special quiver. It stood there quietly, waiting for its master to arrive.
Very quickly.
Ning Mo walked out of Marquis Wu 'an's manor, wearing the Blue Cloud Armor and carrying the Tianwen Sword at his waist.
"Green Sparrow."
She stood at the door.
Ning Mo turned around and looked at the green sparrow beside him."
"You're a member of this marquis's household, so this marquis definitely won't be able to make it back in time for the new year! Therefore, you must remember to prepare gifts for each family. You must also send a gift to His Majesty in the palace!”
Hearing this.
The green sparrow replied,
"Lord Marquis, don't worry. This servant understands!"
He nodded.
Ning Mo didn't say anything else and got on his horse.
Hiss hiss hiss
Pulling the reins, the White Dragon Warhorse neighed.
"Let's go!"
His face was cold.
Ning Mo shouted.
Rumble!
Very quickly.
A hundred warhorses galloped on the streets of the Imperial City, making loud rumbling sounds. Under the watchful eyes of the people in the city, Ning Mo led a hundred personal guards and galloped towards the city gate.
In the restaurants by the roadside, many youths and young ladies of the Imperial City had different expressions and attitudes as they watched the figure who led a hundred cavalry and forcefully ran out with the might of thousands of troops.
Many of the youths were jealous of his might.
But most young women,
Her heart was burning like a flame.
"That's what a real man should do!"
"The young hero in the story should be an existence like Marquis Wu An!”
"Marry your husband to Marquis Wu An!"
"Yes!"
