Vol V Chapter 37
Hearing that the old man wanted to donate for free.
On the dragon throne,
After the Chu Emperor was stunned for a moment, he sighed with emotion.
"Old Li…are you serious?"
He raised his head.
The old man's expression was serious.
"Your Majesty, I am serious!"
Hearing this.
The Chu Emperor laughed loudly.
"Hahaha…a loyal minister! Old Li, you are worthy of our many years of friendship. Since this is the case, I will not be polite! After the court session ends, you can send the donated items to the Ministry of Revenue!”
The old man bowed and accepted the order.
"Here!"
Seeing this,
The officials in the court also gritted their teeth.
One by one, they stood up.
"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to donate ten thousand taels of gold and fifty thousand taels of silver to the national treasury!”
"Your Majesty, I am willing…"
"Your Majesty, I…"
“……”
Donations were made one after another.
Although it was impossible for everyone to take out almost a third of their assets like the old master, it was still a lot.
It was impossible to say that there were no corrupt officials in the West Chu Dynasty.
After all, if the water was too clear, there would be no fish!
However, as long as they had the ability and knew how to do things, the Chu Emperor would pretend that he did not see a small amount of corruption. Moreover, these civil and military officials were all people who knew what to do!
A moment later.
After all the officials stated their donations,
The Chu Emperor looked at the Minister of Revenue with a delighted expression.
"Minister Chu, with this donation, can we support Marquis Wu 'an in fighting this war?”
After silently estimating in his heart,
The Minister of Revenue said loudly,
"Your Majesty, according to my rough estimation…if we can finish the war within a month, it shouldn't be a problem. At most, it should take less than a month and a half!”
He nodded in satisfaction.
The Chu Emperor had a solemn expression.
"Since that's the case, then we'll support Marquis Wu An's battle and order the border cities to send another 50,000 soldiers to him! Send him a letter and say that he was able to fight this time because of the generosity of the officials of the Imperial Court. If he fails, I and the officials of the Imperial Court will not let him off easily!”
Crash!
As soon as the Chu Emperor's voice fell, all the officials in the throne room bowed.
They said in unison,
"Your Majesty is wise!"
……
Phew--
In the cold northern plains.
In the military camp.
Ning Mo received a letter from the Imperial City.
A smile appeared on his face.
"One and a half months? Then my confidence will be even greater! It was all thanks to the old man's lead in donating. Otherwise, he would not have been able to earn this one and a half months!”
This kindness…
Ning Mo had to remember this!
After returning to the Imperial City, he would slowly make up for this favor.
He burned the secret letter in his hand.
Ning Mo's face was solemn."
"Next, it's up to me! Men, gather all the generals. I am going to assign tasks to the battalions!”
Very quickly.
The guards outside the tent quickly gathered all the generals.
He spread out a map on the table.
Ning Mo's face was solemn.
This battle…
Not only did he want to win, but he also wanted to win beautifully!
……
Time passed day by day.
Good news came in one after another,
It kept flowing into Ning Mo's hands.
A day later-
"Report! General Gao Shun led the Breaking Ranks and wiped out ten thousand Tartar soldiers!”
Two days later-
"Report! General Chen Zhong led 10,000 Great Chu Black Cavalry to attack the Tartar camp at night, luring the enemy into chasing and killing 20,000 elite cavalry!”
Three days later-
"Report! General Li Liang intercepted two Tartar raiders and killed 30,000 enemies!”
Five days later-
"Report! General Gao Shun…"
……
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.
In the Khan's tent in the Tartar camp.
Boom!
He kicked the brazier angrily again.
The new Khan had a ferocious expression on his face.
"Ah! This was too much! This was simply too much! They didn't fight head-on, and they didn't talk properly! What was he trying to do? What do you think the West Chu wants to do? Is he trying to consume our strength?”
Hearing the new Khan's words.
In the Khan's tent,
The chiefs of the Tartar tribes all had serious expressions.
After a long time,
A chief sitting in front stood up."
"We can't go on like this! "Great Khan, if this continues, our troops will be nibbled away bit by bit. It's time to start a real war, Great Khan!”
The others in the Khan's tent said,
They nodded in agreement and said,
"Exactly! In my opinion, the West Chu doesn't even want to negotiate with us. It's better to completely cripple their harassment army. At that time, they will have to negotiate even if they don't want to!”
Hearing this.
In the eyes of the new Tartar Khan,
A cold light flashed.
"Good! Pass down my order. Tonight, the entire army will eat and drink to their fill and have a good rest. Tomorrow, we will break camp and attack the West Chu army camp. If they don't accept the challenge…we will bypass the West Chu army camp and the border city and head south!”
There was no problem with the new Khan's strategy.
The army directly pressed forward!
He would use his advantage in numbers to crush the West Chu army. As long as the West Chu army didn't accept the challenge, he would directly bypass Ning Mo and the border cities and march straight into the West Chu's hinterland!
This was a blatant plot.
An overt plot to force Ning Mo to fight him!
