Chapter 299 I will not fail in my mission!
After Shang Xi sent the letter, Mingzhou and other places also sent troops to support.
Cangzhou currently has a total of 150,000 troops.
Knowing that Xiao Ning was going to attack the Xiongnu royal court, Shang Xi instructed the soldiers in Mingzhou and other places to obey Xiao Ning's orders.
Xiao Ning didn't expect Shang Xi to hand all his cards to her like this, and was a little surprised.
Shang Xi publicly stated, "I have long hated the Xiongnu. I hope the general will go and destroy the Xiongnu court and enhance the prestige of the Great Yong Kingdom!"
Xiao Ning said: "I will not fail in my duty!"
Standing in front of a huge army in broad daylight, the two men were dressed neatly and spoke in high-sounding words.
At night, Xiao Ning pressed on Shang Xi, touched his face, and chuckled, "Your Highness now calls himself Gu? It seems that he is still ambitious."
Shang Xi said, "Aning, don't be so unreasonable. If I were really ambitious, I wouldn't give all the people to you, but keep them in Cangzhou."
Xiao Ning touched his face and said, "Remember, you are still my prisoner."
Shang Xi held her waist and pushed her down.
"I remember, so...A Ning wants some special services?"
He bewitched.
Xiao Ning patted his face and said, "What should a prisoner call himself?"
Shang Xi: “…”
Xiao Ning: "Speak."
Shang Xi: "Slave."
Xiao Ning was satisfied, and she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"So good."
Shang Xi looked at her with a gloomy look in his eyes. "Then may I ask, Master, if I behave well, will there be any reward?"
Xiao Ning: "I've already given the reward."
Shang Xi: "That's not enough."
Xiao Ning: "Am I the master, or are you the master?"
Shang Xi: “…”
Seeing Shang Xi like this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing enough, she pinched his cheek and said, "Okay, go to sleep. I still have soldiers to train tomorrow and will be going to war soon."
As soon as he said this, Shang Xi suddenly hugged Xiao Ning tightly.
"Aning, you must remember, I'm waiting for you in Cangzhou."
Xiao Ning smiled and patted him, "Okay, I know you are waiting for me."
"A Ning, I love you."
Xiao Ning kissed him, "I love you too, go to sleep."
Shang Xi said in a muffled voice: "You don't understand at all."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Why doesn't she understand?
But there is no need to keep arguing with this love-brained person about this issue.
She still has a lifetime to prove it to him.
…
On the day when the snow melted, Xiao Ning led an army of 120,000 and left Cangzhou.
Although Yingzhou was still nominally part of Dayong.
But the Huns were rampant there, and even the local people had to act according to their wishes.
Xiao Ning held the imperial edict and token written by the emperor himself, and the officials had to let her enter the city.
As soon as Xiao Ning entered Yingzhou, he ordered his men to tie up the servile Yingzhou officials.
A large-scale manhunt was then carried out.
Not only Yingzhou City, but also other counties and prefectures in Yingzhou sent large armies to search and arrest.
Make sure not to leave a single Xiongnu spy in Yingzhou.
As for the Yingzhou officials and their subordinates...
Xiao Ning asked someone to talk to them to see their ideological awareness.
At the same time, search the mansion to see how deep the connection is with the Huns.
And ask the people in the city what they think of them.
Those with clean backgrounds were quickly screened out, and those with dirty backgrounds were punished according to the laws Xiao Ning had previously formulated.
Those who are to be beheaded will be beheaded, and those who are to be imprisoned will be imprisoned.
The person who was promoted to the position of prefectural official by Xiao Ning was a clerk who was in charge of the prefecture archives. He had his own unique insights into prefecture affairs, but he was a down-to-earth person and did not get along with those corrupt officials, so he was never reused and wasted his time in the paperwork department.
When Xiao Ning promoted him, he was somewhat flattered.
"General, I... I am too small to do this."
Xiao Ning said, "I told you you could do it, and you did. Didn't you have great ambitions when you were young? Are you really willing to spend the rest of your life hiding in the clerical department?"
Of course I’m not willing to accept this…
He did have great ambitions when he was young.
But that was when I was young.
Wang Fu had been suppressed for years and could barely make ends meet, so how could he have any ambitions?
The edges and corners have long been smoothed out.
Xiao Ning looked at the slightly aged man in front of her and started her talk therapy mode.
"Brother Wang, Yingzhou is your hometown, right?"
Wang Fu nodded and said, "Yes, I am from Meixian, Yingzhou."
Xiao Ning asked, "Don't you, Brother Wang, want your hometown to be better?"
Wang Fu clenched his fist: "Of course I do!"
He wants Yingzhou to be better than anyone else...
Xiao Ning said, "But my brother, you are still reluctant to take over. What if I am blind and choose someone like Xu Wuhuang as the governor? Will Yingzhou be safe then?"
That's definitely not possible.
Rather than having someone like him as an official, it would be better for him...
Wang Fu, who was suffering from deep inner conflict and self-doubt, gradually built up his confidence through Xiao Ning's therapy.
Xiao Ning smiled with satisfaction and left.
She did not stay in Yingzhou for long, and led her army to the three border cities.
Because the Huns attacked Cangzhou before, a lot of troops were transferred to these three cities.
Now that the three cities were empty, Xiao Ning's 120,000-strong army easily captured them.
After removing all the obstacles from the three cities, Xiao Ning wrote a letter to Cangzhou City, asking Cangzhou to send people to take over the three border cities.
After waiting for people from Cangzhou to arrive, Xiao Ning led the army to continue their journey.
The further north you go, the drier the climate.
When the wind blows, yellow sand fills the sky and visibility is extremely low.
Relying on his survival experience, Xiao Ning led the team to avoid dangerous areas and find an oasis to set up camp and rest.
When Xu Chong saw the lake in the desert, he couldn't believe it.
"General, you are simply a god!"
After saying that, he lay down by the lake to drink water.
Xiao Ning grabbed the collar and dragged him back.
"No matter how thirsty you are, bear it. Start a fire first and wait until the water boils before drinking it."
After marching in the yellow sand for a whole day, everyone was really tired and thirsty, but they had to listen to Xiao Ning's words.
I could only look at the clear lake water and swallow my saliva.
However, my throat was so dry that I couldn't produce any saliva at all. When I swallowed, I just felt dry and painful.
Everyone quickly set up the tents and started a fire to boil water.
After the water boiled, it took a lot of effort to cool down.
Everyone picked it up and drank it. When they were full, they took out their water bags and poured it in.
Filled to the brim.
"No wonder those bastards covet our Dayong. I can't live in this environment for even a day."
"Just because they can't live there doesn't mean they can invade Dayong. They can just submit to Dayong and become our vassal state. By engaging in trade with each other, we can greatly make up for their environmental disadvantages."
"That's right! From ancient times to the present, they have killed countless of our people, robbed countless of our grain and gold, and raped countless of our women..."
"They even sent our Princess of Dayong to this godforsaken place to be the step-wife of this old man. That's outrageous!"
"That's right, she's a princess! I've never even seen her..."
The soldiers cooked dinner while cursing the Huns.
For a moment, smoke rose up.
