What? Lieutenant? Waiting for the rice to be cooked? Searched them all?
Mu An jumped up: "When did I become a deputy general?"
He used to be a captain under Wu Yanzhuang, and he had to support more than two hundred old and weak soldiers?
Did he hear it correctly?
The fire-headed soldier said: "That's what the imperial envoy announced in public just now, saying that you have many methods and will definitely be able to feed us. He asked us to listen to you and follow you so that we can have meat to eat..."
Two hundred people nodded in unison, still looking straight at Mu An.
Mu An remembered what the herald said: "...But Xiaomu, you have many ways, you can always find a way to feed them."
It turned out that his fate was doomed from the beginning, and Meng Jia had already made up his mind to do this.
"We are hungry...Xiao Meng..." Two hundred people shouted in unison.
Mu An was dejected and had no choice but to ask the kitchen to dig out the edible food and cook it in a pot, then send someone down the mountain to deliver a message asking Mu Yunhan for food.
It was already midnight when the people hauling food arrived at Shoushan Town. The gate of Shoushan Town was closed tightly. After calling for a long time, someone came out to the wall and held a torch to look at them, verifying their identity and putting them in. It was almost dawn.
When Mu Yunhan heard what had happened, he immediately asked someone to pack food and wrote a letter to Mu An.
She was telling the truth when she said she wanted to stay here for a while, and she wasn't just perfunctory to everyone in Shoushan Town.
Originally, she rushed to the capital in a hurry to protect Wu Yanzhuang's family from being implicated.
But Wu Yanzhuang gave her the one thousand private soldiers to take with her, so it was difficult for her to leave. She had to wait for a letter from Wu Yanzhuang to explain how to arrange these people before she could take action.
In addition, Gu Yilan also sent her a letter, saying that Wu Yanzhuang was fine.
Lin Youfang and the Empress Dowager originally wanted to reuse Wu Yanzhuang and use him to suppress and contain Meng Jia, but this trip was just about suppressing first and then promoting.
She was not anxious anymore. Winter was coming soon. Fortunately, she was still young and not suitable for traveling. It would be best if she could wait until spring.
After Mu An received the food and letters, his originally irritable mood calmed down, and he led the two hundred old and weak soldiers, doing daily patrols in the mountains, and began to perform his duties seriously.
But Mu Yunhan thought of another way. Now that the world is in chaos, it will be even more chaotic in the future, so we must take precautions.
Since Mu An was temporarily stationed in Xiangshan and was responsible for leading the troops, and he was short of men, he took this opportunity to recruit a group of brave soldiers to strengthen his own strength.
She called Mu An back, and the three siblings sat down and discussed it, and they all agreed.
So preparations for this matter were intensive, and even the young adults in the town were asked to take time out for rotational training.
At the very least, you must learn how to march and form troops, how to use weapons to kill enemies, draw a bow and shoot arrows, obey orders, and conduct reconnaissance on horseback. These things must be learned.
Previously, the elders of the clans were opposed to it because they were worried that the government would think that they were plotting rebellion and that it would bring disaster. However, they were deceived by Mu An and Mu Yunhan, saying that it was to protect the dragon veins of Xiangshan Mountain, and they might be rewarded for their meritorious service.
Just follow it.
In this way, time flies by.
News came from various branches in Huanhua Tower and the Medicine Hall. It was said that Meng Jia led the troops halfway and was transferred to the border to resist the Qi people by an imperial edict.
This group of soldiers brought from Xiangshan were brought into the capital by partial generals.
It is said that after Mengjia received the imperial edict, he made a public statement in the local area that he would do his best to protect his country. He earned a lot of reputation, recruited a large number of soldiers and horses, and went to the border in a mighty manner.
Mu Ying couldn't figure it out: "Why should the soldiers and horses from Xiangshan Station be sent to Beijing? Didn't they say they were going to the border?"
