Chapter 312 Going to Xining Again
Chapter 312 Going to Xining Again
Another day passed,
Early in the morning, Ling Yunxiao ordered a carriage to come.
Jiang Yue followed the general, took her fifth sister and others, and went to the Xining border.
Ling Yunxiao did not bring too many people with him. He only brought his guards, Qin Yu, who had a low presence.
The rest were Jiang Yue's Xuanwu Army, which only had a hundred people in total, in case they encountered the enemy army of Beiyan.
Although we know that Beiyan is unlikely to appear, it is always better to be prepared.
The hundred men he brought were all the soldiers who survived the war unscathed. Lin Guo, Mu Heng, and five of his brothers also participated in the battle.
Although they are transparent in the Xuanwu Army, the Xuanwu Army is the dazzling vanguard of the entire army.
There are always tasks, but the task Jiang Yue requested today is the easiest.
But for Jiang Yue, it is also the most important.
In the early morning sunlight, the Xuanwu soldiers rode on horseback, treating this mission as a trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
In front of the Xuanwu Army were two carriages.
In the first carriage, Jiang Yue and Ling Yunxiao sat opposite each other, talking about the current war from time to time.
Ling Yunxiao put one hand on the edge of the car, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said leisurely:
"Jiang Yue, your trip to the capital is a triumphant return. As my deputy general, you will appear before the emperor on my behalf!"
"Yes." Jiang Yue had already thought of this.
She just had a question.
"Why doesn't the general come to see the emperor in person?" Northern Yan can no longer make any big waves now. In her opinion, after winning the battle, he should return to the court in triumph.
She said, then looked out the window.
The scenery is charming and lush everywhere.
Ling Yunxiao: "Your Majesty wants me to continue northward and completely flatten the territory of Northern Yan."
Over the years, Beiyan's humiliation of Donglin has long been deeply engraved in the hearts of His Majesty Donglin and even every general and soldier of Donglin. After winning the battle, they must make a concerted effort.
"General Lu withdrew his troops back to Xining last night. He said that he was following the order of Princess Singh to ask the King of Xining to lead his troops to attack Northern Yan."
"This matter must be your contribution."
Ling Yunxiao knew clearly that this matter must have been caused by Jiang Yue.
I didn't expect her military strategy to be so mature and steady.
"So this general decided to wait for the war between Beiyan and Xining and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack."
"This general has already reached a brief agreement with General Lu on this matter. Now we are just waiting for King Xining to say something. I believe he will not object."
After all, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is strong and who is weak.
Ling Yunxiao spoke a long paragraph, and Jiang Yue replied with only four words:
"General, please understand!"
In war, the interests should be maximized.
What Ling Yunxiao said was exactly what she was thinking.
"Tomorrow, let all the Xuanwu troops follow you."
He originally thought it was simple.
Jiang Yue thought that it wouldn't take too many people to send Master Yue Tingshan home.
Before she could ask out loud, Ling Yunxiao explained:
"The court is not like the frontier, people's hearts are unpredictable. You have never shown your face in the court. Not only do the court officials not recognize you, but even His Majesty will be suspicious of you."
"At that time, you just need to follow your heart and be yourself. Don't try to be strong for a while and let others take advantage of you."
There were many nobles and good people, and many people wanted to stand out.
However, Jiang Yue was so young and had no distinguished family background, yet she was able to appear before His Majesty on his behalf.
Ling Yunxiao was afraid that Jiang Yue could not handle such an honor alone.
Jiang Yue is also a very competitive person. If His Majesty thinks that she is eager for quick success and instant benefits, frivolous and unsteady, the impression would naturally not be very good.
"Don't worry, General." Jiang Yue listened carefully and replied with four words. After she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain and looked out the window.
After the official road, there is a rugged mountain road.
This journey was a different mood from the first time she went to the Xining border.
She knew that the border situation had been relaxed, so she suggested:
"General, can you allow us to go back home? The soldiers are homesick."
If it were before, she would not have made this request. But just yesterday she received news that Zhang Yan, together with General Lu, had jointly defeated the enemy's 50,000 soldiers outside, and completely drove them out of Liangzhou.
"When we return from our search for saltpeter this time, this general will give the order for the soldiers to return home in turns." Ling Yunxiao also knew that the veteran soldiers had not been home for two or three years.
Jiang Yue also thought about going home on the way to send the spirit away. Even if she only wanted to go home to take a look, she wanted to go back.
In the carriage at the back sat Jiang Wuni, Yu Ziyan and Singer.
As the Princess of Xining, Singh is a key figure in the search for saltpeter.
At the end of the Si hour, the group arrived at the border of Xining.
This time, of course, I won’t choose to go around the mountain.
At the border, a team of Xining soldiers appeared and looked at Jiang Yue and other teams vigilantly.
When they approached, a soldier who looked like a general asked:
"The army from Donglin? What are they doing here?"
At this time, Princess Xining got off the carriage.
"Let go!"
"Who are you?" asked the leading young general.
It was obvious that they did not know Princess Singh.
So they were blocked outside and not allowed to take a single step in, especially the troops.
"This is a border fortress, no outsiders are allowed to enter without permission!"
Jiang Yue and Ling Yunxiao in the carriage thought of their last trip to Raoshan.
It is inevitable that Xining will strengthen its defense, and it will not be easy in the future.
Singh coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.
She didn't expect these people to recognize her. After all, they were stationed at the border all year round, and she was wearing Jiang Wuni's clothes.
So, she said, "I am Princess Xining!"
"Who would believe it?" The soldiers at the Xining border had already received news that Xining and Donglin had joined forces to fight the war.
But they didn't believe that the girl in front of them was the princess.
However, when they saw Singh take out the princess token unique to the royal family, they all stepped back.
"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. I am shortsighted. I hope the Princess will forgive me."
Although they looked hesitant, since Princess Xining had spoken, and these Donglin soldiers still had more people if they wanted to fight, they all obeyed her orders.
Jiang Yue and others successfully entered Xining.
Soon, under Singh's leadership, they arrived at a steep mountainous area.
The mountainous area here is different from the forest that blocked Jiang Yue and others' way last time.
In contrast, it is steeper and the fault is more obvious.
The car was shaking and bumpy, and Ling Yunxiao was determined to give it a try to see if he could find saltpeter.
In another carriage, Yu Ziyan asked Singer:
"Are you sure there is saltpeter here?" She was a little uncertain.
"Last time I was on the road, I suddenly had a splitting headache for some reason. The military doctors had limited supplies and were helpless. Fortunately, I met a passing doctor near here, who used saltpeter to cure my condition."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that there were traveling doctors who mined saltpeter in this border mountainous area.
Jiang Wuni added: "Nitrate is generally found in rock formations, riverbeds and groundwater sources. It should be found here."
The crowd walked along the steep mountain road.
The road was rough, and the horses and vehicles moved slowly so that they could observe the terrain.
Finally he dismounted and began to search.
