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

Chengzhou-Northwest Military Camp
In King Wen's private tent

At this time, King Wen was sitting steadily beside the bed, wiping the sword he originally wore on his waist with linen cloth in one hand.

This sword cuts iron like clay and was forged by an experienced swordsmith.The scabbard is dark and not eye-catching, but who would have thought that a rare sword in the world would be in such a scabbard?
For King Wen, the most special thing about this sword was not its tempered quality, but the fact that it was specially made by the late emperor, his father Jiang Qi, when he was still young. A royal gift given to him.

It is a gift from your father and should be treasured.

Therefore, King Wen wore this sword every day for these years.

Moreover, even the cleaning of the sword was done by his own hands, and he did not dare to do it by others.

After he finished wiping the sword, he was about to go to the tent for his celebration banquet.

These three consecutive victories made the soldiers in the camp beam with joy, wishing that they were the ones who killed the enemy with their own hands that day.

The celebration banquet was held for seven days in a row, and everyone was very happy every day.

The generals drank a lot of wine and toasted to the new emperor in the direction of the capital. Then they poured wine for King Wen, and everyone drank from the cup.

By the time the moon was in the sky, King Wen's face was already red, his figure was swaying, and he was drunk.

The other generals were all like this. They were as drunk as mud, their armors and shirts were full of wine stains, and their bodies reeked of wine.

Today, they don't care about their appearance at all. They all look like drunkards on the street, even when they are drunk, they still have a smile on their lips.Someone would laugh a few times from time to time, or snort indifferently.

This victory, this victory, the victory that we have been waiting for for so many years is like a flower in the water, a moon in a well. Who could have expected that one day it would actually come true?

Was it God who had mercy on them and gave birth to such a miracle for him?
Idiots think so.

At the same time, they also felt a bit of admiration and awe for King Wen who led them to victory.

The soldiers carried the generals back to the camp one by one. Due to the strenuous carrying, the soldiers' arms were exhausted and their faces turned red.

When King Wen woke up again on the second day, he had a splitting headache and was in a trance, unable to lift his spirits.

This strong drink is indeed very strong and can make you dizzy. Don't drink too much. Don't drink too much.
In this way, King Wen declined everyone's invitations and stopped going to banquets and drinks.

But the morale of the army was high. Even if King Wen was not present, the celebration banquet was held for seven consecutive days, and even the cities far away from the northwest camp began to celebrate with lights and colors.

Of course, the people who live and work in peace and contentment in the city are not only celebrating King Wen's repeated defeats of Qingyi and the frequent surprises from the great news of Daxia, but also because——New Year's Eve is here.

In winter, the sound of gongs and drums can be heard from afar.

The people living in the city have begun to celebrate the beginning of the new year.

Now the land in this place is full of laughter and laughter.

The winter elves can't help but appear in front of everyone.

Accompanied by the gentle sound of the wind, the crystal snowflakes swaying in the air are scattered on the grass, in the fields, on the eaves, and on the loess pavement of the street.

It also fell on the helmets or black hair of the soldiers, and on the murderous sand where the two armies were fighting.

The soldiers who were still wearing single clothes couldn't help but tremble and trembled with energy.

Winter in the northwest came so late this year that people almost forgot about the bone-chilling coldness and horror of frost.

This made the people in the northwest feel joyful and happy. They said with a smile: "Maybe this is God's favor for us?"

"That's right, that's right! Look, this year we not only defeated the Green Barbarians in the north, but also had a good year and a good harvest!"

People laughed and agreed that when they had free time, they would burn incense for the Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, World Honored Ones, and Taoist ancestors, and go to temples and Taoist temples to pay their vows and pray.

"It would be great if there are still such good days in the coming year!"

"There will be! There will be."

People are hoping and working at the same time.

Watching the falling snow sprinkle on the field ridge, it's like being covered with a thin layer of frost.

Not far from the city is the battlefield where the two armies fought these days.

Nowadays, the corpses are collected and buried, but only the blood-stained soil and gravel stay there quietly, telling the world that there were once human beings fighting here, there were mountains of swords and seas of blood.

Walking through this battlefield that was still stained with blood, a few hundred miles further ahead was the Wolf's Throat.

Langhou is the outpost of Qingyi, and it is also a battleground between the military strategists of Daxia and Qingyi every time they go on an expedition.

The natural barrier here was once the last barrier for the Daxia people, blocking them from the prairie cavalry going south.

Now after a round of rotation, it has returned to the hands of the Qingyi people.

The tower of Wolf Throat still stood coldly in the west wind, and the soldiers above could see the situation several miles ahead.

The top of the wooden fence was cut extremely sharp, rather like a trap set by a hunter in a hole in the forest.

The soldiers took turns in an orderly manner and stood guard. Some of them had knives on their waists, and some had long spears in their hands with red tassels tied to them.In this winter, such a touch of red is very rare. The red seems like the white cloth is stained with blood.

This year's winter is warmer than in previous years, and even the soldiers wearing thin fur coats don't feel too cold.

"How come this winter is not much different from autumn?"

"It's almost the same. In the past, the little lambs at home would freeze to death before the snow fell."

The soldier who was speaking looked sad and seemed to be looking back at the king.

"It's rare that God has opened his eyes? Haha, I'm just talking nonsense. I guess it's a favor that our old Chanyu specially asked for for us after he returned, right?"

The generous soldier touched his forehead and said faintly.

"I don't care where it came from, but the weather is really nice. This year, two less lambs will freeze to death on the grassland."

"There can also be a few more war horses..."

"Yeah, who wants to guard the door with a gun every day? How happy would it be to ride on a horse and kill the enemy?"

……

It seems that God is also kind, or maybe it is just a coincidence.

The warm winter makes people in the north very happy. Whether they are people in Daxia or people in the grasslands, they all seem to have benefited from the light of winter.

At the same time, Wu Mu, who was inside the wolf's throat, was also very happy.

The reason why he was happy was somewhat different. He was happy for Qingyi's third defeat, and he was happy that his plan was going smoothly.

"Your Majesty, a letter from King Zuoxian."

At this moment, a chamberlain wearing a gray cotton coat quietly walked up to Wu Mu and said to him.

"Oh, bring it up..."

Wu Mu raised his eyebrows, with a normal expression, and took the letter from the chamberlain with his right hand.

He hurriedly opened it, and there were only a few lines of words inside, but it made Wu Mu smile again.

"It seems that Gu really found a treasure."

Wumu sighed with a smile.Wu Quji, the king of Zuoxian, wrote very simply in his letter. First, he asked Wu Mu whether he wanted to return to the royal city to attend this year's annual banquet.Second, he also told Lu Qing's current study progress in his heart.

This makes Wumu, who has always been eager for talents and is delighted to see talents, unhappy.It seems that he will soon have a counselor who is loyal to him.Just like the former right virtuous king Unandun was loyal to the first Chanyu.

What status?What clan?

No, these are not important, at least not in Wumu's eyes.After all, those old men who gave him trouble all day long didn't have a few good years to live.Why should people care about dead people?
Wu Mu's face became serious. He calmed down, drafted in his mind, and hurriedly wrote a reply.

This year he really needed to return to the royal city to stabilize the people and the royal family members who had always had no brains.

This is the first New Year after he ascended the throne, which is particularly important.

Even if Wumu doesn't want to return to the royal city, now that he has ascended to that position, he cannot do these things that are beneficial to himself and harmful to the country.

He has to win over his relatives, win over the leaders of various tribes, and beat down those tribes that are brainless and are making strange moves secretly.

He also had to establish his authority and show Shanyu's kindness.It is necessary to be strict and friendly at the same time.

It can be said that this is really a difficult job.It is also a difficult burden to bear.

At this time in previous years, either my father would be accompanied by King Youxian, especially in recent years, and even the Yan family would share some things.So enviable

These things used to be the father's business, but now they all fall on his shoulders.

In a daze, Wu Mu thought of Wu Xian, and was inevitably a little sentimental for a moment, with a hint of loneliness on his face.

After hurriedly writing the letter, Wumu stamped it with his personal seal and handed it over to the chamberlain.

"Send it to King Zuoxian."

"promise."

The chamberlain took the letter respectfully with both hands and quickly left the tent.

Wu Mu was thinking about it in his heart while looking at the door curtain swinging in the air.

Now that everything is ready, he may be able to complete his mission with the Wolf Maw before returning to the royal city.

King Wen—it’s time to die.

……

five days later

Chengzhou-Northwest Camp
In King Wen's private tent, the guards were packing clothes and beds, while King Wen was reading a letter.

A piece of information about Qing Yi and the next victory.

It turned out that early this morning King Wen received another urgent report from the scouts he secretly sent to explore the surrounding areas.

After reading that small piece of paper, King Wen was simply overjoyed. Even the New Year gifts specially sent by the princess could not make him so happy. He simply jumped three feet high regardless of his status and waved his fist fiercely. Express your excitement.

The bodyguard who had been following King Wen also laughed easily after seeing how happy the prince was.

Although he didn't know what made the prince so happy, he guessed from King Wen's expression that it was probably a good thing.

This made the bodyguard couldn't help but speak, wanting to feel happy.

"What good deeds has your Highness done? Did His Majesty give you a reward?"

The guard said with a smile.

King Wen glanced at him, his lips still filled with joy.

He casually replied: "This is more joyful than the emperor sending an imperial edict to Gu, hahahaha..."

As he said this, the bodyguard looked confused.But King Wen had no intention of hiding it from him in the first place. This was considered confidential military information, but now that none of them could leave the military camp, there was no harm in letting his cronies know about the military information.

Thinking like this, King Wen quickly revealed the answer to the mystery.

"Did you know that the king specially divided a group of scouts a few days ago?"

When King Wen said this, the guard nodded quickly.

"Did those adults gain something?"

King Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, that's right."

"They have detected that Qing Yi is preparing to attack again at night. This time we not only want to catch the turtle in the urn, but also give those Qing barbarians a blow from the bottom of the cauldron!"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in King Wen's eyes, his eyes bright and full of fighting intent.

"Okay!!! Then His Majesty and everyone will be happier this year. It happens to be New Year's Eve, which can be considered a new year."

"That's right, I'm going to have a good start in the new year and completely kill the Qing Barbarian with all his energy!"

King Wen said this with high spirits, wishing that the dog Wu Mu would appear in front of him now, so that he could draw his sword and stab him to death, just to satisfy his mood.

When King Wen talked about this matter with the generals in the big tent, all the generals, regardless of age, agreed with both hands.

Some even wanted to kill the enemy with King Wen, while others turned red-eyed on the spot and drew the sword at their waist.

Because King Wen had an undefeated record of three victories, everyone still took him as the leader this time. King Wen still planned to take the lead this time.

However, a few people here and there persuaded King Wen not to be a brave man.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Now as the commander-in-chief of an army, it is better not to go to the battlefield in person.

However, such persuasion had little effect, and was skillfully ignored by King Wen.

When he first went to the battlefield, many people tried to stop and dissuade him, but King Wen insisted on going his own way and kept discouraging him.

Now that he has achieved great results and repeatedly defeated enemy troops, according to his temperament, he will not listen to the dissuasion of those people.

Sure enough, after the meeting with the generals, King Wen was still the leader in this plan.

King Wen personally led an army of 10 to ambush, and two generals proposed themselves. Their enthusiasm was unstoppable, and King Wen could not resist, so he asked the two generals to lead a feint attack with [-] men each.

King Wen was full of confidence and fully prepared for this plan.

Not only him, but also the soldiers of the Northwest Camp were looking forward to King Wen bringing victory again, just like the undefeated God of War.

Next day time
King Wen led his soldiers and horses to lie in ambush in the shade of the hillside, waiting for Qingyi's surprise troops and horses to arrive, then he would maintain their formation and pounce on them.

But they waited for half an hour but failed to wait for the Qingyi people's team.

King Wen was thinking that the information was wrong, and he felt uneasy in his heart, and was about to leave the hill.

Qingyi's men and horses appeared.

The mighty cavalry in black armor made the earth hum.

King Wen was horrified, but then he thought that this place was shady and it was good to hide.Even the Qingyi people have difficulty knowing that they are here.

What's more, they have been in ambush for a long time and are very experienced.
