The soldiers were drilling when General Niu arrived with Sisi.
Sisi was carrying a flag with a large "cloud" character written on it.
General Niu led Sisi straight up to the reviewing stand. Once on top, General Niu looked at the soldiers below and shouted, "Halt!"
After the soldiers stopped, General Niu pointed at Sisi and said, "Xiao Liu wants to take back Ningyuan City. Who among you is willing to go with Xiao Liu?"
Everyone: "..."
Soldiers: We know Yun Xiaoliu is powerful, but even if he is powerful, he can't be powerful enough to take back a city, right?
Yun Yuqi: You surnamed Niu, my daughter is young, and so are you? My daughter doesn't know how many barbarians there are in Ningyuan City? And you don't either?
Yun Yuxuan and the others: General Niu is spoiling Xiao Liu way too much! And Xiao Liu is too audacious!
The strategist leaned close to General Niu and whispered, "General, are you just teasing Miss Liu?"
General Niu nodded slightly.
The strategist was relieved. "Is anyone willing to go with Miss Liu? If not, let's continue the training."
The soldiers remained silent.
Yun Yuqi stepped forward. "I'm willing to go." Whether others are willing or not is fine, but if he, as their father, is unwilling, how embarrassing would it be for his daughter?
Yun Yuxuan glanced at the character "Yun" on the flag Sisi was carrying and stepped forward as well. "I'm willing to go too."
Yun Yuxiang, Yun Yutao, Yun Yuxiao, Yun Yukuan, and Yun Yusong also stepped forward. "We are willing too."
The strategist glared at the Yun brothers, as if to say, "Why are you all joining in this commotion? Seven of you brothers aren't enough. Attacking a city is no joke."
General Niu then said, "Little Six, you see, it's not that your godfather won't give you people, it's that nobody wants to go with you."
“I’ll tell them,” Sisi stepped forward and looked at the soldiers below the stage, “Do you want to get rich overnight? Do you want to become famous overnight? I’m giving you a chance now. If you come with me to attack the city, all the gold and silver we capture will be ours. Also, if we take Ningyuan City, then we will be heroes.”
"Do you want to be heroes? Do you want to get rich overnight? If so, come with me."
The soldiers thought. But they were unwilling to entrust their lives to a young girl. Although she was very capable, she wasn't enough for them to do so.
Sisi encouraged them for a while longer.
The soldiers still refused to go with her.
Sisi grew impatient. "Godfather, your soldiers have no ambition. I'm going to join General Tian."
After saying that, Sisi was about to leave.
Now, both General Niu and his strategist were in a panic.
The barbarians haven't attacked them because of Sisi and Lao Hei. If Sisi and Lao Hei left, the barbarians would dare to attack them.
Who knows how many people will die then?
The strategist didn't believe Sisi could retake Ningyuan City, but he believed she could help them hold it. Even if she couldn't hold it, she could at least buy them another year or two.
The strategist and General Niu quickly stopped Sisi.
General Niu looked at Sisi and asked, "Do you really want to go?"
"Um."
General Niu frowned. "So how many men do you want your godfather to give you?"
"one thousand."
“A thousand is too much. Here, your godfather will give you five hundred men. These five hundred men include your father and your uncle.”
"Five hundred is too little, eight hundred."
"Just five hundred."
Sisi pouted. "Fine. Five hundred it is, since you're my godfather. You pick whoever you want, I'm leaving."
"Okay. When are you going?"
Sisi said "Three days later" and then carried the flag away.
After Sisi left, General Niu looked at the soldiers below the platform and said, "Well, do you all know why the barbarians in the north don't dare to attack us?"
The soldiers remained silent.
General Niu continued, "If it weren't for Xiao Liu and Lao Hei suppressing the barbarians, many of us might have already died. Now that Xiao Liu wants to take back Ningyuan City, we have to support him, otherwise he'll be heartbroken."
"If Xiao Liu gets upset, he'll take Lao Hei and go seek refuge with someone else. If Xiao Liu takes Lao Hei and goes seek refuge with someone else, then we'll have to prepare to fight the barbarians to the death."
"Although it's a bit unreliable for Xiao Liu to take over Ningyuan City, it's not entirely without a chance. You've both witnessed Xiao Liu and Lao Hei's abilities."
"In that case, I will write 493 lots. Whoever draws the winning lot will go with Xiao Liu to take over Ningyuan City. Get paper and pen."
The strategist tried to dissuade General Niu, but Sisi insisted on going, and General Niu had already said that the soldiers would draw lots. The strategist could only place his hopes on Yun Yuqi and the others.
The strategist looked at Yun Yuqi and the others and said, "You are the elders of the Sixth Miss. If you see that something is wrong, ask the Sixth Miss to bring people back."
Yun Yuqi regretted stepping forward.
He stepped forward only to save face for his daughter, not because he genuinely wanted her to take over Ningyuan City. How old is his daughter anyway? Besides, she's never fought in a war.
Yun Yuqi wanted to persuade General Niu, but General Niu had already started writing the fortune slip.
Yun Yuxuan looked at the other soldiers and said, "This was started by our Yun family. I assure you that as long as the seven of us brothers have a breath left, we will not abandon you and run away alone."
The other soldiers had mixed feelings.
They blamed General Niu for spoiling Sisi too much, and they also blamed Sisi for being arrogant and ignorant. They also thought that if Sisi really took back Ningyuan City, those who went with her would definitely reap a lot of benefits.
The soldiers didn't pay any attention to what Yun Yuxuan said.
