The weather in the border is particularly cold.

It was just the end of October, but it was already biting cold here.

Especially when it rained lightly two days ago, the weather became even colder.

Outside Dongsheng City, neat and powerful shouts resounded throughout the Acropolis.

"prick!"

"ha!"

On the flat ground outside the city, a huge square formation of more than 10,000 people was scattered. The soldiers held the spears tightly, listened to the instructions of the officers in front, and stabbed the spears in their hands again and again.

On this cold morning when the air was filled with frost, many soldiers were sweating profusely.

Because no one knows better than them, how powerful the collective spears trained now have on the battlefield!

After blood baptism, this army of half of the recruits truly transformed into a mature army.

...

"I have long heard of the unparalleled achievements of Zhaowu Hou in Zhenbei Army. Now, let's see, you are more capable in training troops!"

On the high platform, Commander Dongsheng Huo Cunyi looked at the soldiers below and looked shocked, "It's no wonder that the 50,000 Tatar coalition forces are vulnerable to the Marquis!"

"What is the best way to train troops? It's just that you can practice diligently and achieve your own achievements! These soldiers are all people who have to go to the battlefield. They sweat more on weekdays and bleed less during wartime. They know this principle more than anyone else!"

Jia Jing smiled and said, "I only provide sufficient food, so that they can practice with all their strength without worrying about their stomachs every day, that's all!"

"It's amazing to be like this. Meeting the Marquis is really the luck of these soldiers!" Huo Cunyi sighed.

The two were talking, and the sound of horse hooves sounded, but the whistle outside returned to the camp.

"Report!"

"General, twenty miles southeast, discovered the main force of the enfeoffed army!"

Jia Jing nodded, "I already know!"

After retreating the scout who came to report the news, Jia Jing said to Huo Cunyi beside him: "General is here, can Lord Huo greet me?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Cunyi nodded and said, "Of course I have to go with the Marquis! These days, the generals have been looking forward to the day when Duke of Wei comes!"

...

Dongsheng City, commander's mansion.

Amid the sound of the armor, a group of people came in from the door.

The leading veteran with a little gray hair smiled and said, "Running a hundred miles, 10,000 or more than 50,000, and the Lord Zhaowu made another great contribution this time!"

"Dude, don't make fun of me like this. Others don't know. Can the Duke still not know?" Jia Jing waved his hand and said, "Besides, if Lord Huo hadn't led his troops to resist stubbornly that day, the Tatars were busy attacking the city and had no time to take care of them. How could the last general have the opportunity to attack from behind?"

"The Marquis is too humble!" Huo Cunyi on the side also smiled and said, "The Marquis saves me from Dongshengwei and water. Now he still has to share the credit with each other. I am really ashamed!"

In the hall, Xu Yao, Duke of Wei, sat in the main seat, and Jia Jing was next to him in his deputy.

After the Duke of Wei and other generals of the generals of the conquered army were seated, Huo Cunyi, together with the only remaining young lieutenant beside him, came to the middle of the hall and leaned over and said:

"General, the general is about to sue the general of Datong, and he is watching Dongsheng City be surrounded and refuses to send troops! The almost devastating Dongsheng City is broken! I hope the general will make the decision for the last general! He will also make the decision for the soldiers who died in the battle in the Dongshengwei!"

Duke Xu Yao of Wei reached out to help him, "Constructor Huo has just gotten up. Before this, he has already taken the general order to take people to Datong Mansion. It is estimated that the two idiots have been taken to Shenjing for trial!"

After a pause, the Duke of Wei said again: "Although I was ordered to supervise the army along the battlefield, it is not an emergency in the war. It is a breach of power to deal with the general of the government without any overwhelming power! Commander Huo must know it!"

Although the words were said to Huo Cunyi, Xu Yao's eyes were looking at Jia Jing on the side.

Knowing that this was the Duke of Wei’s advice to him, Jia Jing nodded quickly and signaled that he understood.

Seeing this, Duke Xu Yao of Wei nodded with satisfaction.

It’s good to win without being arrogant!

…………

At the end of October, the weather was clear in Shenjing.

The war at the border did not affect the prosperity of Shenjing at all. On clear days, the market was still very lively.

The vendors who travel around the street and the merchants who run stalls are all working hard to attract customers, and there are all kinds of snacks and a wide range of items.

In this way, Fang deserves to be the economic center of the Great Zhou Empire and the most prosperous place in the world!

In this prosperous area, a messenger from the border suddenly came on horseback!

Hearing the rushing sound of horse hooves, the vendors at the market were very skilled and retreated their stalls, and the pedestrians on the street were all avoiding each other.

In recent years, the Tatars or Oirats have basically gone south to rob each year after autumn. At this time of year, there are always one or two messengers who have urgently reported passing by, and everyone has even become a little used to it.

"Dongshengwei's victory!Dongshengwei's victory!"

"The vanguard army of the conquering captives defeated the Tatar army, killed 15,000 Tatar soldiers and captured 2,000 enemies!"

"The Tatar Khan fled in panic!"

The messenger's voice was already hoarse, but it did not prevent the dusty messenger from continuing to shout.

...

At the market, when everyone heard the messenger's shouting, they were stunned.

"The Tatars have been defeated now? It's not a month since the army went on the expedition?" a vendor said in confusion.

Another vendor next to him replied: "Where is a month? It's only been more than half a month! But what's going on with the Pioneer Army of the Enemy?"

"Pioneering Army? The army set off that day. Judging from the flag, the vanguard general seems to be his surname Jia, right?"

The vendor nodded and said, "It is the surname Jia, and it is said that it is the Jia family in Ningrong Street, Xicheng. The leader is the newly-deserved marquis of the Jia family!"

"The Jia family is now rising again! Ningrong Street was very deserted before, but since the Jia family has produced another marquis, it has become a constant carriage and horse!" A hawker selling candied haws on the street could not help but interject.

"I said you are just worrying. If you have that skill, it's better to shout twice more!"

“…”

When the messenger passed, the market quickly resumed its previous noisy and lively.

A middle-aged man wearing housekeeper's clothing on the street, hurriedly left with joy on his face.

…………

The Great Zhou Palace, the Palace of the Heart.

"The 50,000 Tatar army will be decided in one battle!" Emperor Hongde held the good news in his hand and looked happy, "Marquis Zhaowu really gave me a big surprise!"

"Come here, submit this good news to the Dragon Shou Palace, so that the Supreme Emperor will be happy!"

Qiu Shi'an took the news, and a little eunuch came up next to him, respectfully took the news from Qiu Shi'an, and then turned around and headed straight for the Dragon Shou Palace.

"Dare to fight, can you fight. This Zhaowu Hou is really a member of my great Zhou Dynasty!" Emperor Hongde first exclaimed and said to himself: "It took only half a month to calm the Tatars in the northern border, but it saved me a lot of money! This time I must reward him well!"

"Your Majesty," Qiu Shi'an said, "This great victory for Zhaowu Hou is naturally a great thing, but this reward..."

"What?" Hearing this, Emperor Hongde put away his smile and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, Zhaowu Hou is only nineteen this year!"

A gentle sentence made Emperor Hongde fall into deep thought.

Seeing that Emperor Hongde understood what he meant, Qiu Shian took two steps back and stopped talking.
