Everyone's faces turned grim and they straightened their bodies.
"Tang Yanhai!"
"I will be here!"
"I order you to select fifty elite scouts from my command and follow me into the capital. They will be responsible for security and intelligence gathering along the way!"
"Understood!"
"Wu Shangzhi!"
"I will be here!"
"You will lead a hundred knights from the cavalry battalion as an escort into the capital! All men and horses must wear armor, with clear banners, and the troops must be in perfect order! Let everyone along the way see the might of our Pinglu Xiaowei Mansion!"
"I obey your command!" Wu Shangzhi clasped his fists, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Han Zhong!"
"I will be here!"
"While I am away from Shuozhou, the defense of Shuozhou, Yanzhou, Weizhou, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou will be under your full control!"
"Lin Feng and Wang Tiezhu will be your deputies, assisting in handling military intelligence!"
"Zhong Dahu, Tian Qing, Du Wei, and Shi Yong, each guard your own territory and prevent any unforeseen movements from the Tartars. Furthermore, be wary of the remnants of the rebels taking advantage of the situation to loot!"
"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Anyone who dares to neglect or neglect them will be punished by military law!"
"I will obey your orders! I will not let you down!"
Han Zhong knelt on one knee, his voice resonant, the heavy responsibility on his shoulders making his eyes more determined.
"Zhao Wen, Huang Chang!"
"I'm here!"
Zhao Wen, who was in charge of government affairs, and Huang Chang, who was in charge of military farms and workshops, responded quickly.
"All government affairs will be coordinated and handled by the two of you. Comfort the refugees, supervise the production of military equipment, especially the Mo Dao! Ensure military supplies and fodder, without fail!"
"If there is any major change, please report it to General Han Zhong immediately for his decision, or report it to me urgently from 800 miles away!"
"I obey your command!"
After the deployment was completed, Zhao Muyun's eyes fell on Zhong Dahu, who had been frowning. "Dahu, do you still have any doubts?"
Zhong Dahu said in a deep voice, "Sir, I obey the military order without hesitation! But... what should we do with the thousand cavalrymen of the Murong tribe wandering around the edge of the Xichuan grassland? Should we just stand by and watch? What if they really rush over..."
An elusive smile appeared on Zhao Muyun's lips. "This matter is about to be handed over to General Han for disposal."
He looked at Han Zhong and said, "Han Zhong, Murong Chunhua lost the duel to Tang Yanhai and pledged his loyalty to him. The appearance of these thousand cavalrymen is his chess piece to test the waters!"
"How to deal with them, both to intimidate them and to completely bring them under my control, will be your first test after taking over the defense!"
"There is only one goal: the entire Murong tribe must submit! Can you do it?"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder Zhao Muyun was so calm when he heard that Murong's tribe was attacking. It turned out that he had already made plans.
Han Zhong's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he instantly understood Zhao Muyun's deep meaning and trust!
This puts a heavy responsibility concerning the safety of northern Shuozhou and even the future strategic pattern directly on his shoulders!
He took a deep breath, clasped his fists again, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice, revealing strong confidence:
"I obey your orders! I will make the Murong tribe submit wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly! If you fail, I will bring my head to you!"
"good!"
Zhao Muyun nodded. "You can discuss the specific strategy with Lin Feng and Tie Zhu. You don't have to report it to me. I only care about the results!"
......
After the military deployment was completed, Zhao Muyun dismissed everyone and walked alone to the backyard of the Captain's Mansion.
The solemn and cold atmosphere of the front hall contrasts sharply with the tranquility and warmth of the backyard.
As I opened the door to the main house, a light, soothing aroma wafted through.
Huan Naxue was sitting by the window doing needlework, her belly slightly bulging.
Bai Ruolan was leaning on the soft couch beside her, holding a book in her hand, with a barely perceptible worry between her brows.
When the two women saw Zhao Muyun come in, they immediately put down what they were holding and went to greet him.
"Husband..." Bai Ruolan's voice was gentle, her eyes full of concern, "But has the imperial decree arrived from the capital?"
Huan Naxue didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly with her deep eyes, everything was said without words.
The cold and hard lines on Zhao Muyun's face softened. He stepped forward and gently embraced Bai Ruolan, then nodded to Huan Naxue:
"The imperial decree has been issued, summoning me to the capital immediately to report on my duties... and to prepare for my marriage to Princess Qinghe."
He said the last sentence calmly, but it made the two women stiffen slightly.
"But don't worry, I told Qinghe that I would never marry her!" Zhao Muyun explained hurriedly.
Bai Ruolan's eyes instantly misted over, and she clutched Zhao Muyun's sleeve tightly: "Husband, we don't care about this. We are worried about the capital... It's too dangerous! Those impeachments... And the prince..."
Huan Naxue also walked closer and whispered, "Husband, is it okay not to go?"
Zhao Muyun raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Bai Ruolan's eyes with his fingertips, then held Huan Naxue's slightly cool hand:
"It's okay. Shuozhou needs me to leave, and I have to go to the capital as well. Don't worry, I know what to do."
His tone was calm and reassuring, "But I'm leaving now, and my return date is uncertain. You all should stay home and take care of yourselves, especially Xue'er, so you can rest assured and take care of your baby."
"I have instructed Zhao Wen and Han Zhong to protect you both inside and outside the palace."
As separation approaches, thousands of words turn into silent attachment.
That night, the candlelight flickered.
Zhao Muyun first stayed in Bai Ruolan's room for a long time, carefully soothing her uneasy emotions.
Late at night, he gently picked up Bai Ruolan and walked towards Huan Naxue's room.
The three of them lay in each other's arms, without any more words, only the comfort of each other's body temperature and the sound of heavy breathing, intertwined with deep reluctance and worry.
Zhao Muyun's arms were strong and powerful, holding his two wives tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to carve the warmth of this moment into his bones to resist the coming wind and snow in the capital.
At the same time, Daizhou New City.
The atmosphere in the courtyard where Yin Yao lives is depressing.
