Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

If you can't speed up your own progress, maybe... there are other shortcuts.

This seems to be Wu Mu’s plan and planning.

And he had already started planning this a long time ago.

When traveling to Langthroat this time, Wu Mu did not bring the newly appointed political advisor, but only the palace guards.

This is quite normal, after all, Lu Qing is currently studying and practicing under Zuoxian Wang Wu Quji, which is the busiest time.Even if Wumu invited him to go with him, he would probably thank him and then refuse.

Wu Mu's coming to Wolf Throat was not just a whim, he came to stabilize people's hearts.

If you are going to fight a battle that must be lost, if the morale of the army is unstable, then a real defeat is likely to occur.

Yes, 'This is a losing battle'.

As a general, there are very few people who have not read Sun Tzu's Art of War. Wu Mu was originally raised as the heir by Chan Yu, and the previous Chan Yu Wu Xian was never a loving father.

Not to mention reading a few military books, these brothers can basically speak fluent Daxia dialect nowadays.

Wumu was like this, and Wuqi and Ayishi were also raised like this.

If the monarchs and ministers of Daxia were confused by the name Wumu, then the tribal leaders on the grassland were probably intimidated and frightened.

Since the old Chan Yu Wu Xian mainly adopted a free-range education, Wu Mu was kicked out of the royal city at the age of 11 and went to the battlefield with the Pioneer Battalion.Later, due to his outstanding military achievements, after being promoted to deputy general, he was able to lead the troops on his own, and was often sent by Wu Xian to various tribes in the grassland to quell rebellions.

It can be said that his ability is not inferior to any of the generals in the military camp.

Not only in terms of military ability, Wumu also performed extremely well in other aspects.

King Wen's doubts were justified.

The fact that the Qingyi people were so easily defeated only seemed strange to the veteran generals who had been guarding the border for a long time.

Such a powerful enemy, such a ferocious beast, was defeated by King Wen in one blow. This really made people admire King Wen, but it also raised some doubts in their hearts.

But now is a good time for the situation. With this battle, the morale of the army is high. The people are also very happy when facing the good news that comes near New Year's Eve. There is a scene of joy inside and outside the city.

If you really want to ruin the world's fortune at this time, it would be a serious sin.

Old General Mu, who was slightly older, thought of this. He also clapped and celebrated with the crowd, echoing the joyful words of the young generals and soldiers. He suppressed all the disappointing words in his stomach, and fell silent along with the laughter.

"Old General, Old General Mu..."

In the crowd, King Wen's face was flushed, and he was trying hard to open his eyes and look for Old General Mu in the crowd.

At today's celebration banquet, King Wen ranked first and drank the most drinks.Both veterans and newly selected generals exchanged cups with him to congratulate him on this victory.

Therefore, even though King Wen usually drank well, under the toasting and persuasion of everyone, he soon became drunk, his eyes became drowsy, and the things he saw became double images.

Fortunately, King Wen still had some sense. He supported his head with one hand and opened his eyes wide from the confusion that made him have a headache. He caught sight of General Mu's white hair and figure in the crowd of overlapping shadows.

King Wen cheered up and managed to stand up with his hands on the chair.

It can be considered that because of the energy in his youth, King Wen was still able to stumble and stagger a few steps.

This barely supported him until he reached the vicinity of General Mu. While he put an arm on General Mu's shoulder, he was speechless and in a daze full of alcohol: "General...Old General..."

Old General Mu was put on his shoulder and was startled for a moment. Then he saw that the person coming was the protagonist of the banquet, King Wen. Moreover, King Wen looked dazed and drunk, so he couldn't help but laugh.

On weekdays, Old General Mu was still very kind to others.This is very different from the way he looks when he gives military orders and strictly enforces military discipline.

But the soldiers who had lived at the border for a long time had long been accustomed to the appearance of General Mu. The old general taught and cared for them as his nephews.

But King Wen didn't know that King Wen, who was very sober, respected the old general very much.

He knew that before his arrival, it was the old general who had stabilized the situation on the border, and this prevented the situation in the northwest from deteriorating.

But at the same time, King Wen had heard about General Mu from his colleagues and news when he was in the Ministry of War.

It is said that this old general is very serious and is very good at maintaining military discipline.It is said that the old general was very serious and hated frivolous people, especially eunuchs.

There was once a eunuch who used to supervise the army and was scolded by the old general until he burst into tears.

This news made King Wen very vigilant, especially after learning that he was going to the northwest, King Wen paid even more attention to his words and deeds.

Therefore, after arriving at the northwest camp, King Wen did everything personally, and led the troops bravely and majesticly. He did not have the dissoluteness and playfulness of a noble son, nor the arrogance and reserve of a prince.

When facing this old general Mu, King Wen was very cautious and would not easily conflict with him.

This may be the reason why General Mu now has a very good impression of King Wen.

So when he saw King Wen come to him drunk this time, General Mu didn't blame him.

He waved to the soldiers guarding near the celebration banquet, and together they carried King Wen out of the tent and returned to King Wen's tent.

During this process, King Wen was very well-behaved. Although he kept mumbling inaudible words, he at least accepted the support of the two people.

By the time they finally helped King Wen back to his tent, the soldier who was supporting him had turned red in the face and looked both excited and nervous.

It is not difficult for General Mu to understand this.

Ever since King Wen led his troops to successfully intercept and even defeat Qingyi's attack, King Wen's prestige among the army has increased a lot.

Many young officers and soldiers admired King Wen very much and regarded him as someone who could lead them to make achievements.

Coupled with King Wen's own personal charm, as well as his royal status and status as a prince.

After King Wen's victory, his prestige in the army reached a height that seemed unprecedented in the history of the late emperor and the current dynasty.

Of course, this prestige is limited to the northwest military camp.But even so, King Wen's influence was already very terrifying.

The soldiers who accompanied him in all battles that day have made great achievements, and many of them have now become King Wen's confidants and trusted personnel in the army.

Therefore, even for an ordinary guard, seeing King Wen was as pleasant as seeing the emperor.

After all, if ordinary people live for five or sixty years, who will be lucky enough to be received by the emperor?Therefore, it is normal for Xiaobing to be excited, and General Mu has long been used to it.

He waved his hand and asked the excited soldier to leave the camp. He also said a few words to King Wen's guards who were guarding the camp, and then turned to leave.

But before the old man could leave, he was stopped by a cry from King Wen.

"Old General...Old General? Can you...cough cough, vomit - can you talk to me."

King Wen himself had already fallen down on the bed, and his clothes became wrinkled due to the support of the two men.The entire camp was also tainted with the smell of alcohol because of King Wen's arrival. The aroma of wine and the stench emanated from King Wen's body.

As King Wen spoke, he grabbed the edge of the bed with one hand, leaned over and vomited. The smell of wine in the tent became even stronger.

Originally on duty today, the guards guarding the house quickly went up to help him, and King Wen vomited out a pool of smelly juice again.

The feeling of vomiting was very unpleasant. When King Wen was helped to the side by the guards, his face was already red. He felt that his mouth was full of peculiar smell, and he quickly drank a glass of cold water with quick eyes and hands.

By this time, King Wen had already sobered up. When facing General Mu's inspection, he couldn't help but feel a little shy on his face.

He rarely apologized and said: "Thank you, General, for taking care of me..."

There was still a bit of trepidation in his words, but his cool voice alleviated some of the trepidation, and it only sounded considerate and polite.

Old General Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "Why do you need to be so polite, Your Majesty..."

After saying that, General Mu changed his voice and started to ask: "Your Majesty stopped me earlier, but what do you want to discuss?"

When facing business, Old General Mu's eyes were a little more serious, and there was also concern in his eyes towards King Wen.

"Well..." King Wen said solemnly.

He looked around the tent, and after realizing that there were only three of them, King Wen slowly spoke and whispered: "Old General, do you think... Qing Yi has any backup plan?"

Old General Mu did not expect King Wen to ask such a question. He first glanced at King Wen and then potentially towards the King Wen's personal guard who was cleaning the bed.

King Wen shook his head slightly, indicating that this person was reliable and there was no need to avoid violation.

Old General Mu slowly opened his mouth, his face serious.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and even the veteran can't help but admire him."

He first praised King Wen, and then continued to express his opinions and worries in a solemn voice.

"Now Qingyi has been defeated by the prince. Although their strength has been greatly reduced, Qingyi people are the most vengeful and brave. If they are attacked again one day, it will be inevitable."

In terms of wording, Old General Mu was very conciliatory. He did not put too much pressure on King Wen, but he was probably afraid that the new general would have doubts and would be timid, refuse to fight or die fearlessly.

Age is the greatest qualification.

Old General Mu joined the army when he was a boy, and now he has lived in the army for half his life.The battles he participated in were even older than King Wen's.

It is precisely because of this experience that Old General Mu becomes more aware of the youthful spirit of young people.There have been many such examples in the past.Some people died, some died after escaping, but some people died early, which was actually easier.

Only those who stayed silently remembered all this.

King Wen also felt the caution in Old General Mu's words. He was quite helpless. King Wen had not experienced this feeling of being fooled like a child for a long time.

He seemed to feel the kindness of General Mu, but when he thought about the problem that had been on his mind, he continued to speak:
"Do you think...this battle...is..."

The other King Wen did not say anything, but he felt that General Mu should be able to understand what he meant.

He saw General Mu looking at him in surprise, as if he had seen some strange person.

King Wen thought he had asked the wrong question, and lowered his head slightly in embarrassment. His face turned red and he wanted to take back what he just said. However, fortunately, because he was drunk before, his face was always red, so he couldn't tell it now.This can be regarded as stabilizing King Wen's image.

But just when King Wen wanted to get rid of the sloppy eye and get rid of the matter, the erratic voice of General Mu reached his ears.

"Has the prince also noticed it?"

There was a bit of surprise and seriousness in Old General Mu's voice, and this time it was much more serious than what had made King Wen nervous before.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "The old general also noticed it? I just think that if it is so easy to attack Qingyi, then how come Cheng Guojiu (Cheng Qian, the brother of Queen Mother Cheng) was so defeated by Qingyi?" ?”

King Wen's logical words made Old General Mu nod his head repeatedly. At this point, the two of them just felt that they had the same views and were very much in agreement.

"Yes, the general thinks that the Qingyi people may still be in civil strife and their strength has not yet recovered.

Qingyi's new chanyu has not yet succeeded to the throne and may not be able to convince the public. During this period, other tribes on the grassland are likely to take this opportunity to counterattack. If this is the case, the main force may not attack, but this time, Maybe it was just a bluff so that Daxia could have some scruples at this time.

But maybe... there might be other intentions?The Qingyi people are cunning and jealous, and now I'm afraid they will start fighting again no matter what, just to see when the Qingyi can regain their strength..."

Old General Mu did not hide his thoughts. He expressed all his inner speculations in the past few days and analyzed them for King Wen.

Sitting aside, King Wenjiu had woken up and was now listening to Old General Mu's explanation, nodding his head from time to time and listening very seriously.

General Mu saw this gesture in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He couldn't help but secretly nod to King Wen.

Don't be arrogant or impatient, ask questions with an open mind.

King Wen's future is limitless...

Old General Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But for a feudal lord, it might not be a good thing.

For King Wen, it seemed that it was better not to worry too much about the future.

Thinking like this, General Mu secretly planned to give Prince Wen a few words at some point as a courtesy to his colleagues.

This victory will definitely cause quite a stir in Kyoto. If there is a villain in the court, maybe His Majesty will be even more wary...

Thinking like this, General Mu's eyes dimmed slightly, recalling those lessons learned from the past.
