After the negotiations with the envoy of Lengyue Kingdom ended in a bad mood, Hua Qingcheng did not return to Prince You's Mansion, but decided to go to the private soldier training camp outside Youzhou City to check the situation.
Along the way, Hua Qingcheng, riding on Xiangyun horse, remained silent, as if thinking about something.
When they arrived at their destination, Hua Qingcheng changed into a smart outfit, looking heroic and majestic. She walked into the training camp with a firm step, followed closely by her loyal Tianji.
After entering the camp, Hua Qingcheng began to carefully inspect the 60,000 private soldiers belonging to her.
She communicated cordially with the soldiers, showing concern for their living conditions and training progress. Sometimes, she would stop and patiently ask a soldier questions about the use of a weapon or tactical application; other times, she would affirm and praise soldiers who performed well and offer some constructive comments and suggestions.
During the competition, Hua Qingcheng took to the battlefield without hesitation and exchanged martial arts with the soldiers.
Hua Qingcheng was agile and nimble, her movements powerful yet graceful and agile. Whether in close combat or long-range shooting, she mastered them with ease, as if fighting had been ingrained in her bones. Her close combat skills, in particular, flowed with a natural, breathtaking flow.
During the fierce competition, Hua Qingcheng not only demonstrated her superior combat prowess, but also her outstanding leadership skills. She set an example by inspiring the soldiers' inner fighting spirit and courage, and brought the entire army together.
After a battle, Hua Qingcheng conquered all the soldiers present with her superb skills and powerful aura, and thus won their heartfelt admiration and support...
Previously, these soldiers were worried about their change of masters. However, since General Tianji led them to defeat the enemy with a small number of troops, and used 60,000 people to repel the 500,000-strong army of Lengyue Kingdom and capture the princess of Lengyue Kingdom alive, completing this almost impossible task that seemed like a fairy tale, their blood was completely ignited.
Furthermore, their true master, the Crown Princess Nalan Qingcheng, had not only invested heavily in their equipment, but also equipped them to the teeth with sophisticated combat gear, allowing them to protect themselves to the utmost while fighting the enemy. Furthermore, they also had ample food, a constant supply of medicinal herbs, and even numerous military doctors, all of which gave them peace of mind. Furthermore, Nalan Qingcheng was kind and generous to their families, leaving them with no worries...
Now, these 60,000 private soldiers of Youzhou are steadfastly loyal to Hua Qingcheng. They sincerely admire her affability and strength, and have pledged their willingness to follow her to the bitter end, willing to risk their lives for her. Hua Qingcheng, in turn, has every confidence in these loyal soldiers, convinced they will become her capable right-hand men.
Hua Qingcheng stayed in the training camp for two hours, and only left with Tianji when the sun set.
"General Tian, are you still dissatisfied with me for letting you bear those twenty military sticks?" On the way back to the city, Hua Qingcheng turned her head and her eyes fell on Tianji, who was also riding a horse and a few steps behind her.
Tianji shook his head slightly, his expression solemn, and said seriously, "Although Tianji is not as learned as the scholars, he has learned a lot about how to behave from his father-in-law. As a leader, only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can you gain the true trust of your subordinates."
"What a clear distinction between rewards and punishments!" Hua Qingcheng reined in her horse and stopped where she was, her lips curled up slightly in a faint smile, not minding lowering her posture and admitting her fault. "Xiaobai failed to pass on the message in time, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to save people. It's not your fault. This is my fault, and I apologize to you here!"
Upon hearing this, Tianji looked in astonishment at the heroic woman riding a celestial horse in front of him. He had never imagined that this princess of Laifeng Kingdom, despite her high position, would be neither arrogant nor conceited, and would even humble herself and apologize to her subordinates...
This scene that broke the Three Principles' cognition made Tianji feel flattered...
However, before Tianji could gather his thoughts, Hua Qingcheng's voice reached his ears again: "General Tian has been highly commended for commanding the troops. Not only did he help me subdue the private soldiers that originally belonged to King You, but he also demonstrated his strategic strategy in the battle to repel the enemy, defeating the Lengyue Kingdom's 500,000-man army and capturing their princess Gongyang Jieying alive. Your achievements are outstanding. I wonder... what kind of reward you desire?"
"Your Highness is too kind. Since Tianji has taken on the position of commander, it is only natural for him to do his duty and lead the troops in battle." Tianji felt a little guilty and his voice was a little lower when he answered.
Because most of the strategies for the war with Lengyue Kingdom came from Mu Lige.
However, Tianji also understood that Mu Lige's current identity was the princess and queen of Laifeng Kingdom, and it was not wise to expose her military talents, especially when there were other soldiers present.
"General Tian is both wise and brave, and he is also humble and reserved. He does not seek fame, and he will become a great man in the future. Don't worry, I am not a mean or ungrateful person. The remuneration you deserve will naturally not be reduced by a single cent."
After saying this, Hua Qingcheng was already galloping on her horse again. Tianji hesitated for a moment, then galloped on, escorting Hua Qingcheng back to Prince You's Mansion in the city.
Looking at Hua Qingcheng who didn't treat her as an outsider at all and acted as if she was in an empty place, as if she treated Prince You's Mansion as her own palace, Nalan Qiudi couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.
She secretly thought in her heart that she had to find a time to get the Fourth Princess to return Chu Kangyi to her as soon as possible. She had worked tirelessly to find him for her and had also carefully cared for her husband and adoptive parents. Even if she had no merit, she had worked hard, right?
After returning to Prince You's Mansion, Hua Qingcheng had her meal on her own because she had missed dinner. After a short rest, she took a shower and changed her clothes, changing out of her sweaty clothes. Then she rushed to Songzhuyuan to visit Ye Maochun and her younger brother Hua Qingguo who were in confinement after giving birth.
"Xiao Qingcheng, you're finally back!"
When Han Yichen saw Hua Qingcheng, he felt like he had seen a savior and quickly went to meet her after listening to Ye Maochun nagging him all day about what pregnant men should eat and what they should not eat, how they should adjust their emotions, how to take care of newborn babies, etc.
Mu Lige, who had just finished feeding his child and came from the next room, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Han Yichen looking relieved.
This always willful third brother actually listened to Ye Maochun's nagging all day long. It's really like brine and tofu - one thing conquers another...
