Chapter V
In the blink of an eye.
Half a month passed.
Western Chu and Later Tang,
After several more battles, the battlefront that the Later Tang had originally pushed into the West Chu was all spat out in these few battles. It was pushed back to the border between the two countries.
In these battles,
Ning Mo led his 3,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard.
Charge into the formation and kill the enemy-
Because he had no choice. If he wanted to make a big contribution on the battlefield, he had to do it this way to maximize the results of the battle!
He had to say,
After these few battles, Ning Mo's fame had spread throughout the West Chu Army. Who didn't know of the Thousand Cavalry Commandant, Rare General, Ning Mo?
Ning Mo's prestige in the West Chu army, especially among the cavalry, was rather high.
Of course.
All of this glory was obtained by exchanging the numerous defeats of the Later Tang army and the 3,000 elite cavalry under Ning Mo's command for nearly 1,000 people!
a general's achievements are accomplished, and ten thousand bones wither.
This sentence…
There was really nothing wrong!
In the central tent.
The general warmly welcomed Ning Mo,"
"Come, come, come. Little Ning, eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big bowls of wine. Don't be polite! If it weren't for Brother Ning Mo, it would have taken me a long time to drive the Later Tang army out of the country so smoothly!”
Hearing the general's words.
Ning Mo also had a forthright smile on his face."
"Great General must be joking! Without the Great General behind the scenes to strategize, plan, and provide all kinds of intelligence, even if I can charge into the enemy's formation, I would only be a coward!”
Hearing this.
The general smiled.
"Hahaha…Ning brat knows how to talk! But don't worry, kid Ning. I've already reported all your contributions to the imperial court. His Majesty also has spies in the army. I think the intelligence on kid Ning has also been reported.”
There was a pause.
The general spoke again,
"This battle isn't that important, but with your contributions, I guess that after you return to the court, you will be promoted to the rank of general.”
"For others, it's already very high!”
"But to a peerless fierce general like Ning brat, the fifth rank is too low! After all, you don't come from a good family, so this time, the focus should be on knighthood.”
He nodded in understanding.
Ning Mo looked at the general and asked,"
"I wonder if this general will be conferred the title of a third-class viscount this time? After returning to the court, he asked the general to serve as a staff officer.”
During this period of time,
The general in front of him was very appreciative of Ning Mo and kept showing him kindness.
Ning Mo knew that he had no foundation in this world, and the feudal society emphasized ties. Thus, he did not reject the general's kindness and was prepared to get close to him.
In this world,
The more he knew, the more he understood the importance of relationships!
The Great General in front of him…
He was a second-grade Duke, a second-grade Defender General. In the West Chu Imperial Capital, he was also the real power of one of the four military camps that guarded the Imperial Capital. He had considerable influence!
He was also the victorious general of the West Chu Dynasty. He had good knowledge in the art of war, military formations, and many other aspects.
So,
He was indeed a good backer and a good friend!
"In my opinion,"
He stroked his beard.
The general pondered and said,"
"Little Ning, you may have been suppressed in terms of official position, but His Majesty will definitely compensate you in terms of title and grace. Originally, with your contributions, a first class viscount is already the limit, but you have a chance of becoming a third class earl!”
Super seal.
This was a common tactic used by the emperor to deal with great talents.
After hearing the general's words.
Ning Mo nodded."
"It's enough! This general is already content!"
Hearing this.
The general nodded with a smile and didn't say anything else about this. After all, it was inappropriate to discuss this. He only gave Ning Mo some advice because he thought highly of him.
After three rounds of wine.
Ning Mo looked at the general."
"Great General! Ning Mo was born in the wilderness and had a poor background. Although he had made some contributions this time, he was still a vulgar country boy who did not know manners. After arriving at the Imperial City, he hoped that the general would give him more guidance!”
Now that they had reached the border,
The West Chu army never advanced again.
It was obvious.
Will not continue to fight,
Once the Emperor's decree was issued, the army would return to the court!
He didn't have any feelings for the small mountain village that he had transmigrated to. This time, he would definitely settle down in the West Chu Imperial City.
After understanding the situation in this world more and more,
Ning Mo was very clear.
For someone like him to settle down in the emperor's residence, even if he had the emperor's favor, there would still be many small problems.
The difference between the door and the door.
The difference between classes.
In addition to the other things, it was enough to make Ning Mo dizzy when he first stepped into this world.
Therefore, after some consideration,
Ning Mo decided to pay his respects and use his strength to get through the most difficult stage of his early days.
Without a doubt,
Although the person in front of him was still very strong, he was already an old general. He was very suitable!
"Hahaha…"
Hearing Ning Mo's words, she said,
The general stroked his beard and laughed,"
"You're very smart! If you know what to do before returning to the court, then this old man's special banquet for you won't be in vain! Can you read?"
He nodded.
Ning Mo said,"
"Great General, when I was young, I was lucky enough to learn calligraphy from an old teacher!”
This was a lie.
In fact,
Not long ago, when he was drawing the lottery, he had drawn the complete collection of this world's words. Not only did he know the words of the West Chu, but he also knew the words of other countries. He even knew the words of some remote small tribes!
He nodded.
The general smiled."
"It's good that you can read! Are you willing to take this old man as your master and inherit this old man's legacy in the art of war…You are a fierce general, but you can't always charge into battle, so you can't lack the art of war that you need to learn!”
Hearing the general's words,
Ning Mo smiled."
"I'm willing, but I don't dare to invite you! Teacher, please accept three kowtows from your disciple!”
Respectfully,
Ning Mo stood up and bowed to the general three times.
This was already the standard etiquette of this era.
There was no need to kneel!
The West Chu Dynasty emphasized that there was gold on a man's knees. He had to kneel down and lick his parents 'boots. Even if he was facing the emperor, if he had not committed a crime or made a huge mistake, he did not have to kneel down like this!
"Hahaha…"
She looked at Ning Mo and said,
The general laughed and said,"
"Good, good, good. My disciple, quickly get up! We martial artists don't have so many red tape. From now on, you are my disciple! I hope you study hard and serve the country and the imperial court in the future!”
Regarding such official words,
Ning Mo naturally agreed."
"Ning Mo will definitely remember Teacher's words and never dare to forget them!”
After paying his respects to his master.
Only then did Ning Mo know his master's name.
His surname was Li, his first name was Jing Dao, and his courtesy name was Shou Cheng. He was one of the most important figures in the West Chu army. He had great prestige in the West Chu army, but because he was old, he gradually began to not manage things.
If it wasn't for the lack of supplies in the West Chu army,
He had probably already begun to enjoy his old age.
Why would he lead troops to battle?
At this moment,
After accepting Ning Mo as his disciple, Li Jingdao began to seriously tell Ning Mo about the Imperial City. At the same time, he also gave Ning Mo some pointers on how he should take the path in the future. Of course, he also began to test some simple military strategies.
Even though Ning Mo didn't understand the art of war,
However, he could still understand a little of the 5,000 years of military wisdom of the ancient civilization before he transmigrated.
When learning truly begins,
Ning Mo finally understood.
How important was a good inheritance?
Leading troops to battle was not just about charging into battle. The art of war also included the way to govern the army, the way to march, and many other things.
However…
With the strongest support system, Ning Mo's learning speed was as fast as seeing a ghost.
At first, Li Jingdao thought that he had only taken in a valiant general as his disciple.
However, he never expected that…
Ning Mo was actually a handsome man!
A true handsome talent!
He could understand the art of war as soon as he learned it. He could even draw inferences from one instance. His learning speed was simply too shocking.
Therefore,
Li Jingdao, who had only cared about Ning Mo, had now truly treated Ning Mo as his disciple.
At the same time,
Within the West Chu army, the news of Ning Mo becoming Li Jingdao's disciple had already spread.
Those deputy generals and vice generals,
At this moment,
When they faced Ning Mo, they no longer had any sense of superiority. They even started to form a small group with Ning Mo as the center.
Some of the younger deputy generals with weaker backgrounds started to respect Ning Mo.
Feudal society--
Family ties, country ties, comrades ties, and legacies were all valued!
Ning Mo had become the disciple of Li Jingdao, the old man in the army. This friendship would soon ferment into a force, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in the West Chu Dynasty.
