"You boy, you are really impressive..."
Wei Junqian shook his head.
Originally, he had decided to take his time reading the contents of the cowhide bag later, but now he quickly started reading it carefully.
The only thing the Starfall Legion has to do now is to switch defenses. Guan Luping and other generals had nothing to do, so they gathered around them curiously.
"I've written so much, share it with me."
"Give me some chapters too."
…
But he squeezed Ren Ning out unknowingly.
Wei Junqian waved to him: "Nothing happens for now. You have come all the way back, so you must be tired, so go back and rest first."
“We’ll talk about the rest after everyone has finished reading these materials.”
Ren Ning had this intention, so he sent out the Chinese army first.
"These contributions are not small if they are truly counted." Guan Luping was very regretful: "It is a pity that we cannot report it to the Ministry of War."
Otherwise, the Xuanwu General's Mansion in Yong'an Hutong should change its plaque again.
"Don't worry." Wei Junqian was seeing the part where Ren Ning and Thunder Dragon were fighting Blood Moon Eagle Soaring, "What kind of tree is Ailanthus altissima? Is it so powerful?"
He muttered a few words before continuing, "The plaque on the door of the house is just a false title. If there is no real power, no matter how high the title or military rank is, people will step on it. The benefits are real."
If Xiao Gang were here, he would definitely feel the same way.
He was born in Zhongyongbo Mansion and could be regarded as one of the high-ranking sects in the empire. However, he had been ridiculed by his peers in the past.
In the past two years, he has become the commander of Xingluo, and his military rank can be said to be not high. However, when he returned to Xingji City, no one dared to look at him in person.
Wei Junqian shook the things in his hands.
"It doesn't matter whether the Eastern and Western War Departments know about these things. Except for ourselves, who among the Yankuo Fortress, the Zhenguo Palace, and Dingxi County will not keep Ren Ning's contribution in mind?"
When necessary, there are many people who will stand up and speak for him.
Ren Ning didn't know what was being said in the tent, so he went back to the forward camp.
Lei Er and Xiao Gang stood at the door of his house.
He didn't stand or sit, and he was chewing something in his mouth.
The other one winked at him, his face full of gloating.
"General!" Seeing Ren Ning approaching, Xiao Gang quickly stood at attention.
Ren Ning nodded and invited them into the room: "What do you want?"
Xiao Gang said cheerfully: "I just came to see the general. Lei Er has something to do."
Ren Ning was suspicious, "Didn't Lei Er just come back with me? What can happen?"
hey-hey!
Xiao Gang smiled: "Some time ago, his family sent a letter home. He was asked to take a family leave to go back and get married."
"This is a good thing. Of the three of us, Lei Er is still a bachelor."
Ren Ning smiled: "I have approved it!"
Lei Er is his personal guard, equivalent to a thousand commanders, neither high nor low in rank.
If you want to go home to visit relatives, all you need is Ren Ning's nod of approval.
Lei Er was chewing something in his mouth, his voice was a little unclear.
"Isn't the legion going to change defenses soon? I'm not in a hurry!"
He wanted to pass through Hanoi County and then turn southwest to return to his hometown in Xingluo.
Ren Ning shook his head, "You can't be so casual about life-long matters."
"You haven't been home for almost three years, so you should go back as soon as possible. Straighten everything first, and then go directly to the new station."
There were no outsiders at this time, and Xiao Gang was more relaxed.
"Three years," he couldn't help but gasp, "Didn't Lei Er never go back since the last time he sent his soul back to his hometown?"
"Yes." Ren Ning nodded.
He at least stayed at home for a while when Abnan returned to Beijing as a prisoner.
And Lei Erzhen never went back after he came out.
Xiao Gang shook his head and said, "Then Lao Ren is right. It's been so long, Lei Er, it's really time for you to go back and see your parents."
During the time the two of them went west, Xiao Gang returned to Xingji City twice.
Now all the cousins in the family are pregnant.
"You have a child?" Ren Ning was stunned.
He casually took out a gadget he brought back from Xiliang and handed it over, "Congratulations. This is a gift for my nephew."
Xiao Gang accepted it and looked sideways at Lei Er.
After touching his pocket, Lei Er said angrily: "What are you looking at? This is Lao Ren's house..."
"Would you like chestnuts fried with garlic?"
"Yes!" Xiao Gang extended his hand without hesitation, "As long as you two give it to my son, I want anything. Courtesy is less important than friendship."
"Old Ren," he turned back and looked at Ren Ning encouragingly, "Hurry up and have a child too."
"Lei Er is just a fool. I don't know when we will get married. When his son is born, our children will be several years old. They can be used as toys to bully easily."
"Your sister!" The chestnuts in Lei Er's mouth no longer tasted good.
He touched his body and found out a wolf tooth from somewhere, and put it heavily in front of Ren Ning.
"Old Ren, please take leave! I want to go home and marry a girl."
Ren Ning knew the origin of the wolf tooth and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that you have a sweetheart. This will be easy to handle."
"Who is it?" Xiao Gang came over, "Do I recognize him?"
"He's from Yunzhong County." Lei Er hummed, "How could you possibly know him?"
The next day, he rode Ben Lei and left Yingshan Camp again.
After another five days, the order to mobilize defenses finally came belatedly.
Including Ren Ning, several generals of the Starfall Army gathered in the central army to receive orders.
The order is not long, even a little short. It can only be said in one sentence.
"The Starfall Army will be deployed to the northern customs of Yumu County from now on. The entire army is limited to arriving before the first month of the 32nd year of Changxing. There must be no mistake."
Wei Junqian took it with both hands and carefully checked the mark on it before answering loudly: "The Starfall Legion must arrive at Beihai Customs before the deadline."
After saying that, he looked at the two soldiers who were delivering the order: "I wonder which legion was transferred to Yanchuo Fortress?"
Although the two soldiers came from the palace city, they did not dare to make a big move in front of Wei Junqian.
"Back to General Wei, I just want to deliver the message, I don't know anything else."
They looked at each other and said, "But I heard that Yanhui and Yingling Legion will be transferred to the west. I don't know if it is true."
Wei Junqian waved his hand, and the two of them went to rest in relief.
A group of people stood in front of the big map and looked around.
The military advisors immediately came over to mark the current positions and marching routes of the Yanhui and Yingling Legions.
"The geese are back to their hometown in the north, and the geese are in the east."
Wei Junqian breathed a sigh of relief, "Yanhui has been focusing on defending these years. On the surface, it seems that they have failed, but in fact they have not failed. After arriving in the west, as long as they can continue to defend, it will be a great achievement."
"As for the Lingying Legion, their homeland is a big horse farm. It can be said that they have the best and most abundant mounts. It would also be suitable to transfer the cavalry to the west to supplement the fortress."
It seems that Emperor Changxing did not make random changes on a whim.
cough!
Pipeline coughed.
"The mounts of the Yingling Army are indeed good. Unfortunately, the spirit of their entire army is almost zero. In previous years, they hardly saw any wars."
"Fortunately, the army generals and several senior generals have been replaced in recent years. I don't know if it will be better."
"Yes." Others nodded.
Wei Junqian turned around and said, "It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to let us go north to Yumu County."
He looked at the two forward battalion generals Ren Ning and Chu Jinding.
"When you go back, let all the soldiers of the forward battalion prepare and set out early tomorrow morning. Try to get to Jiuyuan County before the heavy snow closes the mountains."
"Yes!" Ren Ning and the other two took the order.
Jiuyuan County is also often called Jiuyuan Plain.
It is located in the east-north direction of Xingji City, south of Jinghu County. Like Yingling Plain, it is one of the three major horse farms in Yunchui.
When the Starfall Legion arrived, it was just in time to replenish their war horses and supplies.
