"Phew, I'm so pissed!"
"How can there be such people?!"
"How on earth did you endure this for three years?"
Shen Qinghe turned around.
But he saw that Ning Que was actually smiling.
"I'm already so angry, why are you still laughing?"
"No, I just think you look good when you're angry."
"..." Shen Qinghe's face flushed instantly, and then she turned around and scolded him, "You are so unreasonable. I stood up for you, but you teased me."
"I'm telling the truth."
Ning Que smiled and took her hand.
His eyes were burning, looking directly at her.
"I no longer have any feelings for Lin Xianhong."
"If there is, it's just disgust."
"If she stays here, she can always save some wounded soldiers."
"As long as she doesn't cause trouble, I don't want to bother with her."
"Um?"
Shen Qinghe stepped back, looking Ning Que up and down curiously, frowning and saying, "You're not still obsessed with her, are you? So you took the initiative to lead the troops this time just to prove that you're more powerful than Gu Yuan?"
"Am I that boring?"
Ning Que raised his hand and flicked her head.
Shen Qinghe immediately covered her forehead in pain and scolded, "You little Ning'er, I'm your senior sister, how dare you lay hands on me?"
"We've both been expelled from our sect." Ning Que hugged her with a smile and said softly, "In terms of age alone, I'm older than you. Be good and call me brother."
"snort……"
Shen Qinghe turned her head away proudly.
Still want to continue to act like the eldest senior sister.
But Ning Que's hands, unfaithfully, crawled towards her waist. After being teased by him, she suddenly smiled coquettishly. Even if she wanted to resist, she couldn't muster the strength. In the process of twisting and turning to avoid it, Ning Que accidentally grasped that soft and sensitive part. It was smooth and tender to the touch, like a jumping little white rabbit.
"Ahem... um..."
Ning Que quickly let go.
Shen Qinghe's face flushed red with shame, as if blood would drip out at any moment. She clutched her chest and angrily said, "You pervert!"
After saying this, she ran away in a hurry.
Ning Que stared blankly at his right hand.
Recalling the feeling just now, he couldn't help but smile. Usually Shen Qinghe wore loose clothes, so you couldn't tell her figure. I didn't expect her to be so well-proportioned.
"Xiao Ning'er, what are you laughing at?"
"Ahem, it's okay."
Ning Que looked at Feng Jie and smiled awkwardly.
"You're truly amazing! The three guards you've assembled are formidable, and you've brought so much food and supplies." Feng Jie affectionately put his arm around Ning Que's shoulders and jokingly said, "That person just now was your senior sister, right? Don't miss out on her. She's far superior to Lin Xianhong in both status, ability, and personality."
He had heard everything that had just happened.
He was extremely angry at what Lin Xianhong had done. If Feng Wuze hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten her up. Don't tell him that he doesn't hit women. Countless Liao women have died at his hands. To him, it doesn't make any difference.
And that Gu Yuan...
Feng Jie's eyes were cold.
He has always disliked Gu Yuan.
When he was in Chang'an, he opposed Gu Yuan in every way.
Gu Yuan seemed righteous on the surface, but in reality he was a despicable villain. He once accompanied Feng Wuze to visit the Gu family and unexpectedly ran into Gu Yuan and several maids passionately playing poker. The scene was as ridiculous as it could be.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing wouldn't be a big deal for the nobles, and some would even consider it a bit of a frivolous affair. But Gu Yuan said one thing to their faces and another behind their backs. He acted disdainful in public, yet indulged himself in extravagant activities at home.
Therefore, Feng Jie always looked down on him.
But this time it was the emperor who appointed him personally.
Even Feng Wuzhe has no right to change it.
The same is true for Lin Xianhong.
Otherwise Feng Wuzhe would have driven her away long ago.
So that Ning Que won’t be upset when he sees it.
"Yeah, I know everything."
"We two brothers can finally fight side by side this time." Feng Jie laughed, "This time we will strive to annihilate the Liao Kingdom and achieve great success."
"good!"
Ning Que raised his hand and the two of them held it tightly.
Feng Jie looked at him seriously and said, "However, I must warn you. Gu Yuan is a very sinister man and overconfident. He does have some personal abilities, and after arriving at Yanmen Pass, some of his former subordinates have been very supportive of him. For example, Lin Xianhong's brother, Lin Chao, has become one of his generals."
"Hasn't he been demoted to Sikou?"
"He performed meritorious service a few days ago." Feng Jie looked towards the north and said softly, "Father asked Gu Yuan to lead the troops to catch a spy. He led his personal guards and captured several people. Lin Chao discovered the arrival of the Liao reinforcements in time and led them away alone. He was shot by two arrows but still managed to return alive. There's nothing father can do about this kind of thing. He can only reward him according to the rules."
"clear."
Ning Que nodded.
The army attaches great importance to military merit and emphasizes clear rewards and punishments.
Lin Chao worked hard to achieve his military achievements.
How can we convince the people if we don’t reward them?
"By the way, where is Gu Yuanren?"
"I went out to get information."
"According to the time, it's time to come back."
"Let's go to the general's tent and wait."
"Um."
Ning Que followed behind.
Now that all the generals had arrived, a meeting naturally ensued to discuss the specifics of the Northern Expedition. He took in the complex terrain of the northern border, memorizing it almost entirely. During the march, he secretly conducted numerous deductions. He already had a plan for how to deploy his troops.
By the time they reached the general's tent, the rest of the generals were already there. Including Gu Yuan, who had just returned from a journey, his clothes stained with blood and dusty. They sat on the left and right, with Feng Wuze occupying the main seat. On the wooden table, a portion of roasted lamb lay, the aroma filling the air.
"Xiao Ning, sit down."
"Thank you, General."
"You can just call me uncle." Feng Wuze smiled rarely and raised his hand, saying, "The conditions in the border counties are difficult, but they also have their own unique flavors. Take this roasted lamb, for example. You won't find such delicious food in Chang'an. They even have some special spices, all looted from the Liao people. They're said to be worth more than gold."
"Thank you, uncle."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Is this still the Feng Wuzhe he knows?
Feng Wuzhe was nicknamed Thunder God in the army.
He is impartial and has a notorious bad temper.
But he could look at Ning Que with a smile on his face.
Who dares to believe this?
He is not even this nice to his own son Feng Jie!
"Now that everyone's here, let's eat and chat. The Liao Kingdom currently has a force of 200,000 troops in Shuofang Commandery, most of whom are Xixia. Among them are 30,000 elite cavalry. Behind Shuofang lie two major tribes, the Xubu clan and the Lan clan, both primarily cavalry. If Shuofang encounters war, these two clans will surely rush to its aid. If we force our way in, we'll be attacked from both sides."
Feng Wuzhe ate while talking.
Mark the sheep bones as cities.
According to the map hanging at the back, everything can be understood.
"My plan is to first send out elite cavalry, bypass Shuofang, and attack the Xubu tribe. We'll weaken their strength first, then find a way to attack Shuofang County. During this time, we'll prepare siege equipment. While weakening the Liao Kingdom, we can also recapture Shuofang County!"
"I am willing to lead the troops!"
Gu Yuan stood up and volunteered to fight.
He must win military merit!
