Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Chapter 202 Mo Chen's Clever Plan to Change the Commander

Although Ye Li received the imperial decree, she was in no hurry to travel with her father-in-law.

Ye Li bowed respectfully to her father-in-law and then said:

"Please forgive me, sir. I need to go to the north to find General Mo first, because I was worried that he might be injured, so I gave him all the acupuncture tools and some emergency medicines."

"There are also many secret medicines here developed by my master, Physician Mu. If we can bring these medicines, we will definitely be able to treat Her Majesty the Empress better!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch exclaimed, "This is terrible!"

It turned out to be a secret medicine personally passed down by the world's most renowned physician, Doctor Mu.

If he could find this medicine and bring it into the palace, he would have made a great contribution!

The eunuch nodded repeatedly, praising:

"Miss Mu is so thoughtful. Then this servant will go with you so that I can escort you back and forth."

Mu Nianchen smiled and thanked him:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

The eunuch had never seen her so polite before, and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"Miss Mu, you flatter me. This is all I should do. Please don't be so polite."

Because the eunuch was in a hurry, Ah Yi sped up the carriage, and the group soon arrived at the North Camp.

When Mo Chen arrived at the Northern Camp first, the deputy general of the Northern Camp came out to greet him. A muscular man stepped forward and bowed.

"Greetings, General Mo. My commander has gone to the field to train the troops. I am the only one from the North Camp to greet you. Please forgive me if this is inconvenient."

Li Siyi was the first to disapprove of this neglect, knowing they were clearly doing it on purpose. Li Siyi sneered:

"His Majesty's decree ordered us to come and dispatch personnel, but now that your commander is gone, how are we supposed to understand the situation? How are we supposed to arrange our troops?"

Everyone present knew perfectly well that the commander of an army was always the highest decision-maker in each camp.

He is also a key figure in the military.

Previously, they all belonged to the Imperial Father-in-Law's Mansion and were only required to obey the orders of the Imperial Father-in-Law.

Now that Xuanyuan Ming has gained power and taken away the Tiger Tally, rules are rules, and people's hearts are people's hearts.

Rules can be broken, but people's hearts are not easily changed.

The entire Northern Camp followed the orders of the Emperor's father-in-law and was unwilling to obey the newly appointed military commander.

What's more, the young Emperor Xuanyuan Ming actually sent General Mo Chen, the mortal enemy of the Imperial Father-in-Law's family, to carry out the handover and rotation of troops.

The people of the Northern Camp naturally wanted to thoroughly deflate his arrogance and dampen his spirits!

When the two armies clashed, only a deputy general came out to greet them, which was the height of negligence.

Mo Chen ignored their actions and asked in a deep voice:

"How many people are in the barracks now? Summon them all to the drill ground; I want to review them."

The lieutenant smiled:

"Such an important matter as the military parade should naturally be discussed slowly after the commander returns."

Mo Chen produced the imperial edict and spoke loudly, using his inner strength to project his voice to every corner of the military camp:

"I have come here to replace the commander!"

"The original commander is completely unimportant!"

"Everyone, obey my orders now! Head to the training ground immediately and prepare for the military parade!"

"Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed immediately!"

Mo Chen used his internal energy, and his voice carried far, reaching the entire military camp.

Many soldiers began to whisper among themselves:

"What should we do? Execute him immediately!"

"It's a military order, sigh, let's go after all."

As a soldier, the most important thing is to obey orders.

Most people knew that this change of garrison was no small matter, and the relationship between the emperor and his father-in-law was no longer as harmonious as before.

This time, Xuanyuan Ming wants to replace the commander-in-chief and withdraw all the defenses, replacing them with his own men.

If they disobey, they will truly become victims in these power struggles.

Faced with life and death, no one hesitated.

Soon, soldiers rushed out from each camp, fully equipped and ready to go, and ran to the training ground to await the parade.

The lieutenant, seeing that these people were actually afraid of an outsider, was furious and roared:

"Who gave you permission to come out? Go back now, and don't move without the commander's orders..."

Before the arrogant deputy could finish speaking, Mo Chen beheaded him with a single stroke.

In an instant, the entire square fell silent; everyone was stunned…

Although killing the chicken to scare the monkey is common sense in military strategy.

But no one has ever dared to behead a lieutenant!

This deputy general was a spoiled young master from a powerful family. He often acted arrogantly and domineeringly, relying on his family background.

Now that he has been killed, many soldiers are shocked, but they do not rise up in resistance.

If the deputy generals in the military camp have all been killed, wouldn't these small fry really be executed immediately if they struggled any further?

All the soldiers assembled at an unprecedented speed, and the crowd instantly lined up in the square.

It must be said that the morale of the Northern Battalion is still very high. Look at these rows of soldiers, they are all in good spirits.

It is evident that the Imperial Father-in-Law's residence has not been lax in its duties and has always maintained the vigilance of all its soldiers.

Mo Chen looked at them and said loudly:

"Today, I have been ordered to come here to change the garrison. Among you will be the commander-in-chief, deputy commander, and commanders of each battalion."

"Everyone here has the opportunity to become the commander-in-chief. Today I announce that you will enter the armed competition."

"As long as your fists are strong enough, the top ten in the election will be voted on by the entire army. The one with the most votes will become today's commander, and the rest will be assigned by the commander to become deputy commanders and generals of various battalions!"

Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, all the soldiers were momentarily stunned...

what? !

This commander was actually chosen through a military contest?

The Kingdom of Tian Shu has always been a domain of the powerful and wealthy.

All official positions with ranks were hereditary, passed down by powerful and influential nobles.

Children from poor families have absolutely no chance of rising in social status.

Even if one becomes the top scholar in both civil and military affairs, one still has to humbly follow the powerful and wealthy, running errands before one can barely become a general.

Today, will a commander be chosen from among all the ordinary soldiers?

One of the bolder people asked:

"But we are all ordinary people, how can we be the commanders of an army?"

Mo Chen said loudly:

"Are the powerful and wealthy born knowing how to fight? You always lead from the front, always at the forefront of every battle."

"You are the ones who kill the enemy, you are the ones who are wounded, you are the ones who fight the most battles, you are the ones who know the terrain well. Do you really think you can lose to those who only talk about war on paper when it comes to troop deployment?"

Mo Chen's voice was impassioned, stirring everyone's emotions, because he himself was a general, and he knew what the military camp needed most.

"Today, I will give you a chance!"

"Everyone is treated fairly and justly. As long as you can make it into the top ten, others will vote for you. You can also try to get votes from other brothers."

"The person with the most votes is the most loyal and popular person in the entire Northern Camp. Only such a person is worthy of being the commander-in-chief."

"The commander you choose and the generals you assign must be well-integrated with. They know your weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, and are people who can command respect. They will be able to unleash your potential, so that your Northern Camp can perform at its best!"

Mo Chen's words greatly inspired all the soldiers present.

Yes, who doesn't want to achieve great things?

Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves and climb the ladder?

But I never had the chance before!

Now the opportunity has arrived!

It actually came from an enemy general.

He said that all ordinary people have the opportunity to run for commander-in-chief!

He came with an imperial edict.

He has already killed the deputy general, so he now has absolute power.

Everyone understood that today would be the day they would rewrite history!

They got a chance to rise.

A life-changing opportunity!
