Liang Jingwu's face was serious. Although these are just Ning Chen's guesses, based on his more than ten years of experience on the battlefield, he feels that Ning Chen's guesses are likely to come true. He looked at Ning Chen with admiration, "No wonder General Chen said you have the talent of a general. His vision is never wrong." "You have only been here for a day and you are able to discover this. I can't help but admire you." "General Ning, why don't you go back to the capital and stay with me to guard Beilinguan?" Ning Chen smiled modestly, "Don't praise me, General Liang. This is just a guess." Liang Jingwu said: "Being a general, in addition to bravery, must also have the ability to discern opportunities and prepare for rainy days." Ning Chen smiled, "Bold assumptions, careful verification... It's good to guess right, but it doesn't matter if you guess wrong." Liang Jingwu nodded, "Yes... Since you have guessed this step, you should have thought about how to deal with it, right?" Ning Chen nodded slightly.
Immediately, he told Liang Jingwu his plan! Liang Jingwu was dumbfounded and shocked. "Please let me calm down for a while, your idea is too bold." Ning Chen smiled slightly and said: "The brave ones will die from starvation, and the timid ones will starve to death... If a person dies and a bird looks up to the sky, he will not die for tens of millions of years, so he might as well take a chance." "If you win the bet, you will be promoted to a high position, with high salary and salary, and you will have many wives and concubines. If you lose the bet, it is not a big deal. It is just starting over from scratch." Liang Jingwu looked at Ning Chen seriously and said, "I'm fine? The key is that your side is too dangerous." Ning Chen smiled and said nothing. He must bet, and he must win... He wants to gain military merit, because there are bigger enemies waiting for him in the capital. If you don't have military merit to protect you, let alone avenge your mother, you may not even be able to save your own life. Liang Jingwu was silent for a while and said, "Okay, since you have decided, I won't say anything more?" "Tomorrow, I will discuss it with Supervisor Kong..." "You can't tell him." Ning Chen interrupted him in a deep voice, "Only God and the earth can know this matter. You know it and I know it." Liang Jingwu frowned, "This is against the rules. Mr. Kong is the supervisor and he has the right to know." Ning Chen shook his head, "Rules are dead, people are alive...it concerns the lives of the soldiers, and no third person can know about this matter." "But he is the supervisor of the army. Without his nod, we cannot dispatch troops and generals." Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty personally gave me a sword. Seeing the sword is like His Majesty's presence." Liang Jingwu was startled, then laughed and said, "It's just that I worried too much. It seems that you have already planned everything." Ning Chen smiled and said: "General Liang, let's proceed as planned." Liang Jingwu nodded.
In the next few days, Ning Chen would either wander outside the customs or go to the military camp. On the fourth day, the thousand sets of clothes Ning Chen requested were ready and secretly transported to the military camp. Inside the camp, Yuan Long, Qi Yuanzhong and others were hurriedly trying on the clothes Ning Chen had brought. With Ning Chen's help, she was finally dressed. "Move around and see if you feel any restraint?" Yuan Long waved it around a few times, kicked his legs, and said with a grin: "Don't tell me, it's quite comfortable. It's much lighter than armor." "But this thing is not durable. I'm afraid it will tear if I move it a lot." Ning Chen smiled and said: "I didn't plan to let you wear it for a long time. It can only be worn for ten days and a half at most." Ning Chen ordered them to distribute other clothes to the soldiers and keep them as secret as possible. On this day, Liang Jingwu hurriedly found Ning Chen. "I just received news from the scouts that there is a group of Tuoluo Kingdom's cavalry coming towards Beilinguan two hundred miles away. There are about a thousand people." Ning Chen hurriedly asked: "Have you found the army?" Liang Jingwu shook his head, "I haven't received any news from the scouts yet." Ning Chen thought for a long time, his eyes fixed, as if he had made some kind of determination. "do it according to plan!" Liang Jingwu was shocked, "Have you thought about it? If you guess wrong, you may never come back." "How about waiting for news from the scouts?" Ning Chen let out a heavy breath, "If you want to bet, then bet to the end... I believe in my own judgment." "Even if the bet is really wrong, I will withdraw immediately and will not risk the lives of the soldiers." "We will wait until the Tuoluo Kingdom's army arrives before we take action. We're afraid we won't be able to make it in time." Liang Jingwu nodded slightly, "Then you should be more careful!" Ning Chen hummed and then found Chen Chong. "Old Chen, I have a very important task for you." "What mission?" "Take Yu Jian and bring someone to keep a close eye on Kong Yongchun. The entire Supervisory Army Mansion is not allowed in or out. Not even a fly can fly out." Liang Jingwu was shocked! "General Ning, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Ning Chen said: "The lives of a thousand soldiers are at stake, so I can only do this."
Chen Chong grinned widely, "Has this grandson committed something?" "Don't ask any more questions, I'll tell you later!" "Yes! This grandson let us drink the northwest wind for an hour last time...how can he be so crazy this time?" Chen Chong ran away happily, but came back after a while, "Ning Chen, what if Kong Yongchun insists on breaking out?" "Is the sword I gave you a decoration? If he tries to break out, break his legs." "Then what if he crawls out?" "Cut it." "Yes!" Chen Chong disappeared in a flash. Liang Jingwu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ning Chen with complicated eyes. Ning Chen looked at him and smiled, "General Liang, don't worry... I will take full responsibility if something happens." "Okay, let's act quickly." Late at night, Ning Chen went to the military camp, and soon he led a thousand elite soldiers out of the city. When they arrived outside the city, when they stepped on the snow, Ning Chen asked everyone to change into white camouflage clothes. A thousand soldiers abandoned their spears and only brought sabers, muskets, crossbows, food and water. They moved forward in the snow like ghosts. Ning Chen also kept sending scouts to explore the situation ahead. "Ning Chen, what are we going to do?" Feng Qizheng couldn't help but ask curiously. Pan Yucheng, Yuan Long and others also wanted to know. Ning Chen lowered his voice and said, "Ambush the Beidu Royal Court." This sentence made the expressions of several people freeze, and they looked at him in amazement. Ning Chen looked at them with a smile, "What's wrong?" Feng Qizheng asked cautiously, "You are joking, right?" Ning Chen looked at him and said nothing. Feng Qizhen's face changed, "Are you serious? Ning Chen, are you crazy?" "Do you know how far the Beidu Royal Court is from us? Well, even if we can reach the Beidu Royal Court...what can we do with so few people?" Ning Chen smiled and said, "I know that the Beidu Royal Court is a thousand miles away from us. I have calculated that with our speed, we can get there in ten days at the fastest and fifteen days at the slowest."
Feng Qizhen said, "Let's not talk about anything else...Can the food we brought last so long? I'm afraid we will starve to death before we reach the Beidu Royal Court." Ning Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have calculated...The food brought by the soldiers is enough for seven days. If we save it, it won't be a problem to last for ten days." "I have studied it before. We have a lot of food along the way. Snow mice, wild rabbits, foxes, wolves...These are all our food." "As for water, don't worry about it. Grabbing a handful of snow can quench your thirst."
