"Yes! Haha, young people should be encouraged more!"

While the eldest and second princes were feeling extremely jealous, the emperor and his ministers were happily discussing something.

The eldest prince and the second prince became more and more jealous, so they wiped out a small stronghold.

The number of heads chopped off were not enough for each of the young girls and boys to share one, so how could it be considered a "war achievement" and the one who trampled on his mother even wanted a reward?

Huoshui picked his nose coldly: You don't even understand this? Don't you know that the Queen of Heaven has a "hostage" in her hand?

The person that the court officials praised was never the Ninth Prince!

They are so active, all for their own children!

…

The n generations who recuperated in Shuanglong Mountain soon received commendations from the imperial court.

Ahem, it’s impossible to give each person credit for their achievements, so we can only give a collective award verbally.

Well, even though the court officials wanted to grab honor for their own children, they couldn't be too shameless.

After some discussion between the emperor and his ministers, they decided that Emperor Qing would issue an edict, highly praising this group of young men and women.

This is enough for a group of young people who are full of vigor and passion.

This was the first time in their lives that they had received "official" praise from the emperor!

Glorious!

So proud!

It’s not based on family background or parents, but earned through my own hard work!

Some young men have even seen the beautiful picture of themselves being granted a title of nobility, having a wife and children.

"Ninth Prince! What should we do next?"

After receiving the commendation, the nth generation’s determination to give up became stronger again.

They were like little wolf cubs that smelled blood, howling and wanting to achieve great things again.

As for returning to Beijing, which I had thought about yesterday—

What about returning to Beijing?

Why go back to Beijing?

They don’t want to go back to Beijing!

They have to continue on their journey, they have to kill more enemies and achieve more merits!

Next time, they don’t want any verbal commendations, but a formal commendation from the Ministry of War.

"A hundred miles ahead, there's a Cui Family Stronghold. There's a group of fierce bandits in that stronghold..."

Gu Qingcheng took out a map, pointed to a small hill in the distance, and introduced it seriously.

"Kill them!"

"Yes! Raze the stronghold and kill all the bandits."

The n generations were in high spirits, and after listening to Gu Qingcheng's introduction, they became excited again.

"Okay! As I said before, according to the Qing Dynasty Law, those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be arrested should be arrested—"

Gu Qingcheng once again emphasized her principles.

Although the n generations felt that she was nagging, they also understood what Gu Qingcheng meant.

You are not allowed to hold your own troops and act independently, nor are you allowed to kill innocent people and claim credit for your achievements.

The large army began to move forward, and their target was Cuijiazhai as pointed out by Gu Qingcheng.

Huo Wuniang was riding on a horse. When she was in Xizhou, she killed the cavalry of the Western Rong and wiped out the bandits who were causing trouble for the border residents.

She has seen blood.

Therefore, Huo Wuniang was not as excited as those young boys and girls who were experiencing a battle for the first time.

Instead, she was able to think about the problem more clearly and calmly.

She found that after the Ninth Prince's actions, the low morale became high again.

Those young men and women with the expression of "give up" in their eyes became enthusiastic again.

Huo Wuniang also vaguely realized that the targets chosen by the Ninth Prince for elimination were all screened.

At the beginning, there were only thirty people in Shuangtou Mountain. The village was simple and the weapons and equipment were almost zero.

Moreover, there are no more than ten real bandits with weapons.

There were fifty or sixty people in Cuijiazhai afterwards, and more than a dozen of them were extremely vicious.

They had simple armor and handy weapons.

When they charged forward, they showed a fearless spirit.

In this "battle", two or three n generations were injured.

Seeing the blood and being injured themselves, the two or three n-generations were not afraid. Instead, their bloodiness was aroused.

In particular, the commendation sent by the court afterwards focused on praising these two or three brave and injured people.

Those who were named felt even more honored, while those who were not named forgot the fear they felt when they saw their companions injured, and their blood boiled with excitement.

At this time, their main force was already two or three hundred miles away from the capital.

Gu Qingcheng chose another bandit’s hideout.

The number of horse bandits was not too large, less than a hundred.

Among them, there are more than a dozen who are skilled in riding and shooting, and their horsemanship is not inferior to that of the Western Rong cavalry.

Gu Qingcheng made arrangements in advance and told the n generations some ways to fight against the cavalry.

With the experiences of the previous two times, everyone has become accustomed to Gu Qingcheng's "tactical guidance".

They have already tacitly accepted Gu Qingcheng's identity as the head coach who is in charge of the overall strategy.

"Although the Ninth Prince is physically weak, he has a sharp mind!"

"Yes! Familiarize yourself with the art of war and command appropriately!"

"...I don't know why, but with him leading the charge, I feel extra confident when I charge into battle."

"That's right! That's exactly the feeling! And he knows a lot, a bit like Zhuge Liang!"

The most important thing is that by following the Ninth Prince, you can win battles and gain military merits!
