Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Wang Gang was completely confused when he saw this. He scratched his head and asked in surprise, "Commander-in-Chief, what are you all laughing at?"

Before Xia Mingyuan could answer, Wang Ganger beside him interrupted and said, "You didn't expect it, did you? We tacitly agreed to give the Qingyuan Town defenders a brace."

"Just now, the commander-in-chief also led us to force our way through the Qingyuan Pass."

Wang Gang was so happy when he heard this that he couldn't stop smiling. "I said these government troops were just like mice seeing a cat when they saw us. It seems they are scared after being beaten."

Xia Mingyuan stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and opened the system panel with an idea.

[Ordinary Soldiers: 1600]

[Level 3 Elite Cavalry: 3000]

Without any hesitation, he immediately spent 1200 ordinary soldiers and summoned 300 third-level elite cavalrymen.

The soldiers who followed him were all exploded by the system. Xia Mingyuan did not delay and summoned out three hundred people in front of everyone.

"Everyone, stay here and rest for an hour."

"We'll set out in the dark in an hour."

Xia Mingyuan gave an order, and the 3,300 cavalrymen responded in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens.

Three days later.

Outside Yangning Pass.

The general defending the city, Meng Tian, ​​looked at the yellow sand sweeping in from below the pass with a dark face.

"You all tell me, what's going on?"

"Where did all these cavalrymen come from?"

After Meng Tian finished speaking, his unfriendly eyes swept over the generals behind him, and finally stopped at Li Baoan, the captain of the scout camp.

A thin layer of cold sweat oozed out of Li Baoan's forehead and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

"General Meng, the scout camp has never seen these soldiers before. Judging from the looks of it, they are likely coming from the interior..."

"Bullshit!" Before Li Baoan could finish his words, Meng Tian's voice suddenly rose.

"Li Baoan, the troops inside the pass came to Yangning Pass. Unless they were rebelling, why would they deploy troops at the foot of the pass and directly attack it?"

"Do you think I'm blind?"

Li Baoan's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

"General, everything I said is true. If the enemy's 3,000-plus cavalry could sneak here without making a sound, even if I had a hundred heads, I would be dead."

"For something like this to happen right under our noses, there's only one possibility..."

At this point, Li Baoan hesitated to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals, including Meng Tian, ​​fell silent.

Everyone had to admit that what Li Baoan said made some sense.

"With peace prevailing throughout the country and Your Majesty in charge, how could anyone rebel?"

Meng Tian frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

"General, could it be that we robbed the caravan of supplies that day? Didn't those soldiers we kidnapped say that their leader was the captain of the Princess's guard?"

"Could these soldiers be sent by the Princess to demand an explanation?"

After a long time, a young general in the crowd hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, they caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

"Xiao Wu, you think too much."

"That Kunlun Security, it sounds like a loud name, but in my opinion it's just a stronger escort agency."

"As for the Princess's Mansion, it's just a pretext for a tiger's hide. These days, all escorts are like that."

"Besides, we are a border army. Even if we really rob the princess, it's just some medicinal herbs and doctors. Is it really worth mobilizing such a large force?"

Li Baoan looked at everyone, frowned and analyzed.

"General Li is right. I think so too."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately agreed with them.

Meng Tian frowned and listened for a long time, but he didn't seem to relax at all.

"Forget it, there's no need to guess anymore."

"The other side actually made it clear that they wanted to fight us head-on. We at Yangning Pass are no pushovers. The mere 3,000 people inside the pass are definitely not our opponents."

"Come, take my weapon and go down to meet them."

"General Meng, at this time, we should be more cautious. It would be better to report this matter to other passes."

"The barbarians outside the pass are ready to make a move. If they take advantage of the situation and attack us now, we won't be able to resist them with only Yangning Pass."

"What are you afraid of!"

Meng Tian glared at the general who was trying to persuade him and said calmly, "I just don't believe that these guys dare to attack our Yangning Pass with only 3,000 men."

After saying this, Meng Tian turned around and walked down the city wall regardless of any obstruction.

Not long after, the gate of Yangning Pass opened.

Meng Tian was wearing heavy armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and he came to the outside of the pass with the sword in his hand.

"Can you leave your name in the future?"

Meng Tian sat on the horse and glanced at Xia Mingyuan.

Xia Mingyuan didn't answer but laughed instead, looking Meng Tian up and down.

"Are you Meng Tian, ​​the commander-in-chief of Yangning Pass?"

Meng Tian was slightly startled, frowned and said: "Yes, it is this general."

"Why are you gathering a large force and gathering at Yangning Pass?"

"This is an important border town. Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Haha." Xia Mingyuan looked Meng Tian up and down, and suddenly shouted: "Meng Tian, ​​you are so bold!"

"In broad daylight, as a government soldier, you dare to rob the people of their money and seize their convoy. I think it's you who is trying to rebel!"

Hearing this, Meng Tian's expression changed slightly.

He frowned, glanced at Xia Mingyuan coldly, and said lightly: "The border war is tense, and there is an epidemic in the army. I am only temporarily requisitioning these doctors and medicines."

"Since you are citizens of Great Xia, you should serve the country. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"But you, just because of a disagreement, led thousands of elite cavalry to surround the pass and cause trouble, and you still dare to call yourself an ordinary citizen?"

"I advise you to retreat immediately. If you really clash with my border troops, I will be held accountable by the court for conscripting doctors, but you will lose your head!"

Xia Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the arrogant and domineering Meng Tian, ​​with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

This bastard is good at making excuses.

But, just a few words like this couldn't scare him away!

Anyway, he will rebel sooner or later, so there is no need for him to be submissive to the court.

"Meng Tian! Stop arguing with me here!"

"I am the leader of the guards at the Princess's residence. The eldest princess is seriously ill and needs the medicinal herbs in the convoy, but you have detained them all. The princess is in imminent danger. If anything goes wrong, are you willing to take responsibility?"

Xia Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and slapped him back with a bigger hat.

I thought Meng Tian would at least be a little afraid, but I didn't expect this guy to suddenly laugh out loud.

"The life and death of the Princess alone is worthy of being compared with that of my soldiers at the border?"

"Members of the royal family, since they are fed by the people, should serve the country with all their heart and soul!"

"She is nothing but a royal parasite, she can die if she wants to."
