The empress finally selected three generals who stayed behind. Wu Xiangyun and Zhao Ying were responsible for military affairs. In fact, Wu Xiangyun was the chief general and Zhao Ying was the assistant.
Because Wu Xiangyun is a veteran of the Long Family Army and Long Chen's "little daughter-in-law", while Zhao Ying is junior and is the daughter of the Xixia Prefect.
Yu Fuguo served as Wu Xiangyun's assistant as supervisor, spy and logistics.
The empress ordered the general, and the three of them were a little surprised.
Wu Xiangyun did not expect that he would be named to stay behind, so he immediately stood up and worshiped: "Your Majesty, the last general followed King Wu from Qianjiang County to join the army. He has participated in all major and major battles. Why are you letting the last general stay behind this time?"
Wu Xiangyun definitely doesn't want to stay, she wants to fight with Long Chen.
The empress said: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops at Yanmen Pass. If the battle situation on the front line is urgent and reinforcements from Yanmen Pass are needed, I will let you stay behind. Your responsibility is no less than going out to fight."
Wu Xiangyun still wanted to fight for it, so Di Luoxi said: "Xiangyun, your sister will follow you on the expedition, you stay."
Wu Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Chuchu, and then understood what the empress meant.
The Wu family in Zhenhai was revenged by pirates, and they were the only two sisters left in the family. The empress did not want them to fight together, so she asked Wu Xiangyun to stay.
"I haven't accepted the order yet."
Wu Chuchu whispered, Wu Xiangyun hesitated for a moment and said: "The last general has commanded."
Wu Xiangyun sat down and said nothing more. Zhao Ying would not say anything either. She knew that she was not good at cultivation and she was the only daughter in the family. It would be important for her to serve as a left-behind general.
Yu Fuguo didn't say anything. He didn't expect the empress to trust him so much and actually let him serve as the left-behind deputy general.
"Okay, let's get ready. We'll set off in three days."
The empress stood up, and all the generals followed her to see her off.
The generals returned to their camps to prepare for the expedition. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi left the meeting hall and mobilized their troops to prepare for the expedition.
The news that the Empress was about to go on an expedition spread throughout Yanmen Pass, and the soldiers of all battalions immediately prepared.
Shanyu Tuzhi returned to the camp, Shi Jingxiang came over to ask about the situation, and Tuzhi told the truth.
Shi Jingxiang has a special status. She was once the princess of Xixia. Although her country is now subjugated, she has Long Chen to rely on and Tu Zhi does not dare to neglect her.
"Will the princess go on the expedition with the army?"
The empress did not say whether Shi Jingxiang would participate in the war, and Tuzhi did not dare to make a decision.
Shi Jingxiang said: "Of course I will participate in the war. My ancestors of the Shi family also fought against the ghost tribe. I must participate in this battle."
Tu Zhi said: "Okay, then I'll go get ready."
As soon as Yu Fuguo came out of the meeting hall, the shadow guard came to send an order, saying that the empress had summoned him. Yu Fuguo immediately entered the study where the empress was.
"The humble minister Yu Fuguo pays homage to the Holy One."
When Yu Fu visited the country to worship, the empress said, "Sit down and talk."
Yu Fuguo bowed and sat down, and the empress said: "I asked Wu Xiangyun to stay behind because I don't want the two sisters to go to war together."
"Although you are a deputy general, you are older and more experienced, so you need to come up with more ideas."
Yu Fuguo immediately stood up and worshiped: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
The empress continued: "When the army goes on an expedition, the logistics and food supply tasks are heavy. You are responsible for these. Please work harder."
The Yufu State is responsible for the meat and vegetable garden, and tens of thousands of troops are sent out to fight. These supplies must be guaranteed, and the task is very heavy.
When fighting a war, we are actually fighting about logistics.
Yu Fuguo replied: "We know that the stakes are very important. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "I won't say much about other things. You should know everything, so go ahead."
Yu Fuguo stood up and resigned, and immediately went back to prepare.
While the soldiers of the various battalions at Yanmen Pass were preparing for battle, Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er returned to their residence. Scholar Li and Jing Yan were drinking tea and waiting.
Their status is lower and they are not qualified to participate in discussions.
"What was said in today's discussion?"
Scholar Li immediately stood up and asked.
Meng Yidao said: "King Wu has received a letter, and the Holy One has decided to send troops out of the border."
Everyone was a little excited when they heard that the troops were finally going to leave the country.
"We are finally sending out troops."
Hong Xiao was a little happy. He hoped to get ghost soldiers to take his cultivation to a higher level.
Long Chen implemented the Elite Soldiers Plan, and the soldiers were provided with meat and vegetables every day. They tried their best to get some, and after eating them, their cultivation level really skyrocketed.
People who hope to further their cultivation are trying their best to find meat and vegetables, but the Yufu State has very strict control. It is difficult for them to obtain meat and vegetables, let alone the meat of ghost warriors.
Therefore, the only hope is to go out and fight and catch the ghost soldiers as meat.
Of course, people like Scholar Li were better off. Long Chen gave them some meat dishes and cultivation secrets, and they benefited.
They want more, so they rush out to fight.
He Qingsong, Ling Fengzi and Hua Die were gearing up excitedly. They were excited and scared. The flesh of the ghost tribe could make their cultivation skyrocket, but they knew how terrifying the ghost tribe's soldiers were.
Going out of the border to fight can only be said to be a way to gain wealth through danger.
"The Holy One has ordered the two of us to lead the people in the martial arts world. I'm afraid the two of us are not enough. If you are willing, you can join us."
Zhuang Ling'er looked at the other people and said.
Lingfengzi immediately agreed and said: "Of course we obey the Holy Spirit's will. You are appointed by the Holy Spirit, so you are naturally the leader. We will act according to orders."
Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er were juniors, but relying on Long Chen, their cultivation levels skyrocketed, and they were jealous.
But jealousy is jealousy, and the two of them are ordered to lead the people in the martial arts world, which is equivalent to the role of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
By following them, they can also improve their status in the world and gain benefits at the same time.
After this battle, the world will also be reshuffled. If nothing goes wrong, Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er can become martial arts supremes, and they can also become martial arts giants.
Lingfengzi agreed, and others followed suit and expressed their willingness to help.
Meng Yidao said: "Time is running out, let's go to Mazhen immediately."
Several people immediately rode to Ma Town.
Yanmen Pass is not far from Mazhen. Several people soon arrived at Mazhen, which was even more lively at this time.
Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er appeared, and the martial arts people in the town immediately gathered around.
The two of them are now the envy and jealousy of people in the martial arts world.
"Mr. Meng, I haven't been here for a long time. Why don't you miss your sister?"
The coquettish Feng Meier squeezed out from the crowd and shouted loudly to Meng Yidao.
Meng Yidao ignored it and stopped at a street in the center of the town.
Looking at the crowd gathered around to watch the excitement, Meng Yidao said loudly: "The Holy One has ordered that the troops will be sent out in three days. Those who are willing to accompany the army should register with Scholar Li."
After Meng Yidao finished speaking, the people around him became restless.
"Will you be released from seclusion in three days? Who will command the troops? Will the Empress command the troops?"
"Is King Wu back?"
"Martial Saint, is the ghost girl awake?"
"How many soldiers and horses does the Ghost Clan have?"
Meng Yidao was on horseback, and the others were surrounding him and shouting.
Meng Yidao shouted loudly: "Don't ask how many ghost soldiers there are. If you have the ability, catch them yourself. If you catch one ghost soldier, you can start a sect to dominate the martial arts world."
"Those who are willing to go out with the army can register at the inn for two days. They will return to Yanmen Pass from Mazhen tomorrow afternoon and set off early the next morning!"
After saying that, Meng Yidao flew up and landed at the door of the inn. Scholar Li had already prepared a roster in the inn.
After this group of martial arts people made a fuss, they all crowded into the inn to write down their names.
Of course, there are also many people who like to travel alone. They do not register and plan to go out directly with the army the day after tomorrow.
