Chapter 75: The Battalion
The assassination three days ago had a great impact on the morale of the soldiers in the army. Fortunately, after the arrival of Changsun, the atmosphere gradually faded a lot.
Changsun is different from an ordinary queen. She is the daughter of Wuhou and is not afraid of the battlefield. After a brief rest, she immediately summoned the remaining general.
There were originally three generals in the army, but now two were assassinated, only one left, and they are old, so their role in the army is to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Empress"
After the old general came, he immediately bent down and knelt down, with tears in his eyes full of guilt.
"Please get up with the old general Ling"
Changsun hurried forward and helped the old general up, who had been with the Changsun family for more than 30 years, and was loyal to her. Even as the queen, she could not receive such a gift.
"He is the father of General Ling you know in the palace." Qingning reminded from the side.
Ning Chen was shocked and immediately realized that no wonder General Ling was so taken care of in the palace. Not only did he not be punished by Changsun after letting him go, he was promoted.
In fact, General Ling is a good man. He is very keen on his temper. He hasn't seen him for a long time. It's strange that he misses him.
After Changsun helped the old general up, he was about to introduce Ning Chen to the old general. When he saw that Ning Chen was out of his mind again, he was immediately angry and slapped the latter on the head.
"I haven't seen General Ling yet"
Ning Chen was slapped by Changsun and immediately saluted respectfully, saying, "See General Ling."
"Who is this?" the old general asked with a look of suspicion.
"Ning Chen, the general should be familiar with it," Changsun introduced.
"Oh? That young man who exploded Zhengqi Palace? As expected, the hero was a young man." When the old general answered, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Looking at the Queen's actions just now, he didn't think that the young man in front of him was a servant, and that was the action that the elders had on their children and nephews.
Ning Chen was a little embarrassed and smiled shyly. He remembered these things no matter how much he remembered them. He still had many positive images, such as bravely putting the oil pan, and for example, and for example...
Well, he admits that he only thinks of this one.
Changsun and Qingning were the least likely to smile. When they saw this smile, they always felt uncomfortable all over, so Qingning went up and patted the latter's shoulder.
Then, Ning Chen began to keep baring his teeth secretly.
After talking, Changsun's face showed a sad look and asked, "Elder General, how is the battle now?"
"Report to the Empress, the 300,000 troops in Northern Mongolia have set up camp two hundred miles away, and there is a possibility of attacking at any time," the veteran general said in a heavy tone.
After hearing this, Ning Chen was shocked and could not care about any rules or irregularities. He hurriedly said, "When will it happen?"
"At noon, another spy confirmed this information just now."
The old general replied, "There is a hint of doubt in his words. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"What's wrong!" Changsun knew Ning Chen's personality, and there must be a reason for such a loss of composure, Ningsheng asked.
"Someone may attack the camp tonight!" Ning Chen said in a deep voice.
"Impossible" the old general immediately denied it, "It will take more than an hour for the fastest horse to be two hundred miles away. Before that, our spies were enough to send the news back."
"What if the spy doesn't know?" Ning Chen asked back.
"How is this possible? The target of the 300,000 army is so obvious, a fool." When he said this, the old general was suddenly stunned, and his expression changed drastically, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.
The 300,000 army is very obvious, and it can even be said that it is impossible not to notice it. However, on the other hand, no one knows that there are fewer than a few thousand soldiers and horses in the 300,000 army. As long as the army is used as bait, these thousands of soldiers and horses can go around the spies' sight from afar, they can be unaware of it.
This is a very simple truth. It is just that Wu Hou was injured and the two generals were killed, and he was the only one left. It was already difficult to stabilize the morale of the army and he never thought about this level.
It's a little bit short of that, and he's going to become a sinner in Daxia.
"I will send the order here, and the entire army is on guard against night attacks!" the old general said in a deep voice.
"Slowly" Ning Chen frowned slightly and spoke to stop the old general from leaving the camp.
"What else do you think, little brother?" the old general stopped and said politely.
"Just call him Ning Chen, he is just Hu Mengmeng's right, he is not qualified to make the old general so polite." On the side, Changsun interrupted lightly.
"Haha" Ning Chen touched his nose and said, "What I want to say is that even if someone attacks the military camp at night, the number of people will definitely not be too large. There is no need to make big fuss to make the morale of the army tense again."
Upon hearing this, Changsun nodded in agreement and said, "What he said is not bad. Now that the morale of the army has finally stabilized, it is not advisable to be overly nervous."
The old general nodded, expressed his understanding, and immediately went out of the camp to make arrangements.
"Empress, the old general is too old and it is really not suitable to lead the troops and take command."
After the old general left, Ning Chen tactfully reminded.
He had been enduring for a long time. This old general was not the one who led the army. It was okay to do logistics, but if he fought, he was just a harm to others and himself.
Changsun couldn't hear what Ning Chen said, and sighed softly, "Gen. Ling has followed the Changsun family for more than 30 years. He has no credit and has worked hard. Wait until this war has passed, and I will give him an arrangement to liven up his old age."
Hearing Changsun's words, Ning Chen no longer talked about the old general and asked, "Empress, is there any general worth promoting in the Marquis' army? If it doesn't work, it's okay to transfer one from other places. You can't keep going like this."
"It's too late, and changing generals at the last stage is a taboo. I will take care of it first. After a battle is over, we will choose a new general." Changsun said solemnly.
"Can you do it?" Ning Chen murmured in a low voice, expressing his suspicion.
Slap, on the side, Qingning slapped the former in the head without hesitation, and the boy was getting bigger and smaller.
"When the Empress followed the old Marquis to fight, you were not born yet," Qingning said angrily.
Ning Chen was beaten so much that he didn't dare to resist. He was humble and deserved to be beaten. Qingning is Changsun's brainless fan, so he didn't want to be beaten again.
"Ningchen, I know that you have talents that ordinary people do not have, so I need your help in this war."
While speaking, Changsun actually stood up, stepped forward and bowed solemnly.
Seeing this, Ning Chen was so scared that he almost fell off the wheelchair. He quickly turned the wheelchair and moved away from Changsun, avoiding the gift.
"Empress, in my hometown, being worshipped by elders will make you live a life-long life. You can't harm me."
Ning Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this scaring him?" He has a small burden and can't stand such trouble."
On the side, Qingning was also shocked and said, "Empress, why are you polite to him?"
Changsun lost the mood just now by the nervous behavior of the two. He straightened up and said lightly, "Anyway, I have said everything I should say, and I have done what I should do. If I let me know in the future that you are still hiding your own private life and not doing my best, be careful of your head."
That's right. When Ning Chen and Qingning heard these words, they were relieved. Changsun's actions just now really scared them.
Suddenly, Ning Chen found that he was a little mean and was not used to listening to good words and words, so he had to be beaten and kicked.
It was mainly because Changsun's strength had a shadow. When he suddenly came like this, no one could stand it.
"Is the jade pendant I gave you still on you?" Changsun asked.
"It's still there" Ning Chen took it out. He kept this thing in close custody, for fear of losing it, so Changsun chopped off his head.
"Take it carefully." Changsun nodded and said nothing.
This is her token and also a token of the Changsun lineage. It may be of great use at critical moments.
"Okay, you all go back and rest. There is still a tough battle to fight tonight." Changsun waved his hand and ordered the guest to expel him.
"Yes" Ning Chen and Qingning saluted respectfully, and then they both went out.
"Sister Qingning, what happened to Empress just now? I was scared to death." After leaving the camp, Ning Chen was still in fear.
Qingning sighed softly, "Now that Emperor Xia's life and death are unknown, Daxia is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the Queen of Taiping is seriously injured, the Queen Mother is under greater pressure at this time than anyone else. She wants to win this war too much."
After saying that, Qingning turned around and said solemnly, "Ning Chen, you must help the Empress win this battle!"
"I will do my best," Ning Chen promised seriously.
The reason why it was a promise, not a promise, was that he knew how terrible the military advisor from the Northern Meng Royal Court was two hundred miles away. He had never won her confidence, even if he was a time traveler.
Time travelers are not omnipotent, but the military advisor is almost omnipotent. It can be said that the situation in Daxia was basically caused by the woman named Fan Lingyue.
Daxia has been peaceful for a long time and invincible for a long time until this woman who amazed the world appears and has forcibly elevated the national strength of the Northern Meng Royal Court to a level where she can barely fight against Daxia.
The multiple hidden dangers in Daxia are very likely to have the shadow of this strange woman. Otherwise, when the Northern Meng Royal Court sent troops, not only did the Yongye Divine Sect follow suit, but even the territory of Daxia was in chaos.
In his opinion, the best way is to kill this woman as soon as possible, otherwise the war will be too difficult to fight in Daxia.
It is said that the times create heroes, but this sentence is somewhat inappropriate to the military advisors in Northern Mongolia, because this woman is so powerful that she wants to create an era with her own strength.
He really has no confidence in winning such a person.
At night, the moonlight came. Ning Chen sat on a high ground in front of the camp in thick clothes, quietly looking into the distance, and coughing from time to time.
Qingning was with her side, and when she watched the former cough, her heart always felt a little painful. She knew very well that Ning Chen's injuries were far from healed, otherwise, a warrior would not have wrapped such thick clothes at night.
Gradually, Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. His cultivation level had fallen between the fourth and fifth grades, and it was extremely unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low. This was because his foundation was far beyond ordinary people to barely maintain a little cultivation level. Now he only has the ability to shoot an arrow, so this arrow must be shot accurately...
