Northern Territory, Royal Court.
The atmosphere was solemn.
"Da Ming, are you really waiting?" A minister asked worriedly.
"Why wait?" Daming was furious, "The Yan Kingdom in the Eastern Region humiliated my envoys; a wise man kidnapped my ministers."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a wooden table was smashed to pieces by Da Ming's palm. "Tell me, why do you have to wait?"
"Da Ming, we just made a deal with the wise man on the front foot, and we go to stab his hometown with the back foot. I'm afraid it's not very good." Although Da Ming is so majestic, there are still people who are not afraid of death who come forward.
"I'm afraid you were frightened by the wise man!" Da Ming glanced at everyone, "The agreement reached by the wise man and I is to exchange hostages, not a truce. Why wait?"
Without waiting for the following people to find excuses, Da Ming said directly: "Where is the wild wolf?"
"My subordinates are here!" Wild Wolf walked out of the queue and knelt down on one knee.
Daming looked at the wild wolf with a complicated expression.
Strictly speaking, Wild Wolf was not his subject, but his personal soldier. It was precisely because they valued him that he led some of his masters to hide in the hinterland of the Eastern Territory, ready to give the Eastern Territory a heavy blow at any time.
That night, the three parties in the East Territory were of the same mind, and this was a good time to inflict heavy damage on the East Territory. Who would have thought that Lao Ma Pao would take action regardless of himself. That time, not only did the operation fail, but because the traces were exposed, the elusive Thousand Machines Castle encircled the group. The last one was released and then captured as a hostage.
This failure is not only a shame for the wild wolf, but also a shame for Da Ming, and even a shame for the Northern Territory.
Let’s talk about the envoy to Yan State. Different from usual, this time not only did he not bring back any treasures, but everyone was beaten with bruises and swollen faces. The most serious one did not even recognize the woman he had slept with for more than 20 years.
The two failures seriously dampened the morale of the Northern Territory. They were completely crushed both in terms of appearance and hard power. This frightened many people in the Northern Territory. Some even thought that the Eastern Territory was invincible. .
Therefore, the Northern Territory urgently needs a victory. For this group of illiterate people in the Northern Territory, what they are best at is fighting.
The decision has been made, and the next step is to make preparations. It is easy for men to decide whether to provide food, grass, weapons, or horses, but who will lead the troops has become the biggest headache. Going to the Eastern Region is no better than conquering the grasslands. It requires people with sufficient strength to withstand the pressure.
None of the wise kings on the left and right are in the royal court, and it is completely unrealistic to recall them now, and may even shake the foundation they have laid outside. Although Da Ming was willing to lead the conquest in person, the royal court had to be without a presiding officer, and he was not worried about leaving a group of people who had nothing to eat.
After much thought, he decided to let the wild wolf come on.
But the wild wolf had just suffered a complete defeat and came back as a hostage. There is a lot of talk about this matter in the Northern Territory now. If Da Ming insists on letting Wild Wolf take command at this time, he may not be able to convince the public.
So, there was the scene at the beginning: wait, wait, wait until the storm has passed; wait, wait, wait until the wise man from the Eastern Region is really gone...
But if he waits any longer, not to mention that the warriors will lose their fighting spirit, he will almost lose his fighting spirit despite his fate. I don’t want to fight then, so what can I do? You can learn from the people in the Eastern Region by digging several ponds to plant grass.
But it’s really not possible for the wild wolf to take charge. We have to find someone else. Who should we look for?
"Houhou Zuo, how about you come and go on an expedition?"
Zuo Hou walked out of the column and reported to Daminghui: "Da Ming, old man, I am old and can't fight anymore. You Hou has been responsible for the wars in these years..."
Daming looked at Zuo Hou's white hair and couldn't bear to insist, so he turned to ask: "Where is You Hou?"
Everyone looked together, but where their eyes converged was an open space, as if no one had ever been here before.
Da Ming walked down and looked at the fallen grass in the open space without saying a word.
After a while, he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Where is the wild wolf?"
"My subordinates are here!" Wild Wolf was still kneeling on the spot.
"Go to Youhou's place and tell him: 'Pack up his things and get out of here!'"
After the wild wolf left, Da Ming looked at everyone.
"This southern expedition will be led by Youhou. Do you have any objections?"
