Jinling is located south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of miles away from the northern border of Beiping. Now the King of Yue is stationed in Beiping, a hundred miles away from Beiping, and the General of Chariots and Cavalry Cao Meng is stationed in the camp to the north, confronting the Mongolian Wala and Tatar tribes.

In the fifty-ninth year of Chen Xia, Yan Yiming roughly estimated that this was the first year that the King of Yue requested to go to Peking, which was less than a month after the first world was conquered.

At this time, it was only half a year since Shao Jingyu set out on the expedition.

Now that the dynasty has been established for several decades, the imperial power is stable and the treasury is full. However, because the emperor has not paid attention to the northern territory in these years, the Mongolian Wala and Tatar tribes are becoming increasingly rampant in the north. The border was unstable and was often invaded by barbarians. The emperor finally could no longer tolerate it and sent out 100,000 troops in the spring of that year. He specially appointed General Cao Meng as the commander-in-chief and three other generals to lead an army each to cross the border.

Cao Meng was granted the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, and he was the son of Duke Ningguo. Duke Ningguo and Duke Dingguo had fought bravely to help Taizu build up the country, and after the establishment of the dynasty, they were highly regarded.

When Yan Yiming first attacked Nangong Xuan, she was the granddaughter of Duke Dingguo and had heard of many deeds of Duke Ningguo. When he was young, Duke Ningguo was not only extremely brave but also well-versed in military books and was an expert in the use of troops. Although the young men in his family were proficient in riding and shooting and were extremely brave, they were no match for Duke Ningguo.

Duke Dingguo's words were implicit, but Yan Yiming understood what he meant.

The Cao family is prominent, and Duke Ningguo is famous for his bravery. Among their military generals, Duke Dingguo and Duke Ningguo are the leaders. However, the Yan family of Duke Dingguo's mansion has slowly moved towards civil officials since the country was pacified. Nowadays, few of the family's children practice martial arts. However, the Cao family still strictly requires their children to learn volley shooting.

So now when it comes to martial arts, the Cao family is more powerful.

Since they were so powerful, it was inevitable that the children of the Cao family were arrogant. Now that Duke Ningguo gradually retired to the background, Cao Meng, the eldest son of the Cao family, slowly took over his father's name, and was promoted to the third rank as General of the Guards, commanding the imperial guards and being in charge of government affairs.

Although Cao Meng was going on an expedition for the first time, he was in a high position and had the halo of Duke of Ningguo, so his military prestige was extremely high in the barracks. The remaining three generals were all experienced old generals. The emperor sent out 100,000 troops, which showed the importance he attached to this battle.

Yan Yiming checked the previous background in the dark.

Shao Jingyu has an extraordinary status. The head of the Shao family, that is, Shao Jingyu's grandfather, is one of the three highest officials in the country and holds the first rank. Shao Jingyu's aunt is now a noble concubine in the harem, ranking only below the queen.

She was able to climb to the position of imperial concubine even though she only had one daughter. Although it was because of her prominent family background in the previous dynasty, it also showed that the emperor favored this imperial concubine very much.

Therefore, although Shao Jingyu was only eighteen years old and had never led troops, he was still appointed by the emperor as the cavalry captain and allowed to march to the northern wilderness.

But he was just a young boy after all, and the Shao family was a scholarly family, so how could they know anything about military affairs? No one believed that this young nobleman could have any ability. Cao Meng was even dissatisfied with the emperor keeping this little ancestor by his side. If he got hurt, how would he explain to the emperor when he returned?

So Shao Jingyu came to the battlefield with great enthusiasm, but was always treated as a child and sent aside by Cao Meng. However, since arriving in Peking, Cao Meng has remained on the sidelines until now. Although there have been some small-scale battles, he has not really sent out a large-scale military operation.

So, Shao Jingyu has not yet made a name for himself.

However, Yan Yiming remembered that it was the year when Nangong Ye went to Peking that Shao Jingyu killed thousands of enemies in his first battle, shocking the court.

Time seems to be just recently.

Yan Yiming never expected that the system would let her be Mulan for once. This was the most powerful shock Yan Yiming had ever experienced since she accepted the memory.

Being sold to a theater when attacking Jian Yuyan was tragic enough, but it was far inferior to his current identity. Everyone in his family and even the entire village were killed by the Mongols. Because this person happened to be away when he went up the mountain, he escaped the disaster, but when he came back, there were only corpses everywhere.

Later, by some strange coincidence, it was discovered that a girl entered the military camp. Although she was tall and thin, no one noticed anything about her, but she was a girl after all, with delicate features and fair skin. She was almost defiled after entering the military camp and was seen by a passing captain.

There were no women in the military camp, and some good-looking men who were timid would often be insulted. When the captain saw the woman, he understood what was going on and couldn't bear it, so he took her with him.

This girl was only eighteen years old, but she had an extremely strong mind. After following the centurion, she killed many enemies. She was more efficient and her methods were more vicious than those men who had just gone to the battlefield. Those men who had insulted her were also eliminated step by step by her with the help of the barbarians.

Yan Yiming was horrified by what she saw. She knew that there were countless scars of varying sizes on her body, and there was a horrifying wound on her back. The woman died tragically because of this wound, and Yan Yiming took advantage of it and became a female Rakshasa who had already stained a lot of blood.

Because of the hatred in her heart, she was more active than others in killing barbarians. As she killed more people, her position gradually became higher. Now she is considered a well-known figure in the small camp. Her skin is still much whiter and smoother than that of other men, and her facial features are still exquisite, but no one dares to make a move on her anymore.

None of those who bullied her in the past are alive now. Although she didn't say to kill them, it still makes people feel scared.

Also, she doesn't know how to swim in a lake like the rough men, nor does she know how to sit with a bunch of men and tell dirty jokes and swear words. Although she is highly respected now, gradually no one talks to her except the centurion.

The hand that had held the knife for so long had long lost the softness that a woman's slender hand should have. Yan Yiming sighed. After traveling through time so many times, this was the first time he suffered from insomnia.

So exciting.

Life.

When the morning came, the people in the same tent ignored her as usual. Compared with her previous identity, this identity of walking on the edge of a knife made her have to be more cautious. Now she was glad that her original identity was a cold personality.

Even if you don't speak, no one will notice anything.

After leaving the tent, a group of people gathered outside, eating dry biscuits and drinking cold water. Yan Yiming ate the biscuits with cold water. He thought he would have a stomachache, but perhaps his body had already gotten used to it, and nothing happened.

Later, when practicing with others, Yan Yiming chopped down with his sword, and the soldier fighting with him actually retreated two steps.

He was obviously stronger than her, but he was chopped back by himself. Even Yan Yiming was shocked. This person seemed to be extremely strong, not inferior to a man at all.

No wonder, she is a thin woman, but she is much more competitive than a bunch of grown men.

Yan Yiming didn't know how the general was doing, but the soldiers were having an extremely hard time. It was already good enough to have dry biscuits to fill their stomachs every day. If they were lucky, some of them would hunt game and bring back some meat, so they could barely have a bite of meat.

Xiao Pingguo finally couldn't bear it anymore, and from then on she quietly added some extra nutrition to Yan Yiming's meals every day to prevent him from getting too tired.

A few days later, when Yan Yiming was talking to Bai Hu, Bai Hu noticed, "Eh? You seem to be in better shape recently?"

"Maybe it's because summer is almost here," Yan Yiming maintained his previous personality. Even when he was looking for excuses, they were cold and brief.

Baihu had no doubts. The north was cold, and it was still cold in spring. Now that summer was approaching, everyone felt much better.

The captain trusted her very much. Although they, the soldiers, had not heard anything, he knew some news, such as that after waiting for so many days, General Cao seemed to have finally made some move.

The higher-ups have taken action, which means there will be a war soon. The captain sounds quite excited. After all, as long as he can kill the enemy, he will have a chance to rise to the top. Yan Yiming probably knows that he has some connections.

Two days later, the captain called her again. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Yiming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Cao Meng finally decided to send troops to fight.

"I asked you to come here mainly because of another matter. Did you know that the young master of the Shao family will go with the army this time? His Majesty also gave him the title of Colonel of the Cavalry."

Yan Yiming's heart moved and he nodded.

"Young Master Shao also asked for permission to go to the battle. General Cao didn't agree at first, but he couldn't stop him, so he agreed to give him 700 cavalrymen."

A cavalryman, that's not what she is now.

The captain sighed, "These young masters from big and powerful families, who don't know the hardships of the military camp or the cruelty of the battlefield, who can't hold a gun or a knife, chose to come here. It would be fine if he died, but he had to drag us along. This young master will definitely come here to pick people in the next two days. You look like a scholar, so he will definitely look down on you. You should hide behind when the time comes, and don't be chosen."

Yan Yiming still responded with a cold "hmm". The captain knew that this was her personality and did not blame her. He said something else before letting her go back.

After staying here for nearly half a month, I finally got to see Shao Jingyu.

To be honest, I'm a little excited.

Yan Yiming thought expressionlessly.

After returning, most of the people below had heard about Shao Jingyu's coming to select people. Most of them shared the same idea as the captain, thinking that if they followed this young master, they might die without knowing how. However, some people had their own plans.

Shao Jingyu is of noble status, and Cao Meng will protect his life at all costs, so he probably won't let him go to the front line, so there may be no danger. Moreover, he is a noble man after all, and it is a good thing for him to be taken by Shao Jingyu to be a personal guard.

But the latter was indeed a bit unmanly, and the group of grown men always felt a little embarrassed. After saying this, they burst into laughter and said, "Even if I die in battle, I will never be so cowardly."

"right!"

Several people couldn't help but agree.

In this atmosphere, everyone finally welcomed Shao Jingyu, who had been talked about all day.

He came riding a fine horse, his military uniform making his already extremely bold and handsome face look even more handsome, his tied-up black hair flying in the wind. The sound of horse hooves clattered as Shao Jingyu rode on his horse, looking down at the soldiers. In his black eyes was the vigor and confidence that belonged to a man of his age.

Everyone thought he was a dandy young man from the capital, but they didn't expect him to be so imposing and speak so loudly and passionately. When he said the last few words, "Who dares to go to the battlefield with me?", some people were already ready to make a move.

The crowd looked left and right, hesitating, when a young soldier with a young face and short stature stood up from a distance, and a clear, clean but powerful voice rang out.

"I do!"

Everyone looked over and saw Yan Yiming standing straight, looking directly at Shao Jingyu with a slightly amusement in his eyes.

Although he is physically weak, his eyes are not weak at all.

Shao Jingyu looked down at the first boy who stood up, with a flamboyant and excited smile on his lips. He shouted "good" and made a promise in front of thousands of people, "Dare to be the first one, then I promise you, if you kill one enemy, I will record your achievement, and I will never break my promise!"
