The next day, at the early stage, His Majesty announced the list of expeditions to his ministers. The ministers listened to the prince as the general, commanding the whole army, the prince of Zhenguo was named the hussar general, and the British was crowned the general of the chariot cavalry...... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, with the Duke of Zhenguo leading the troops to the battle, the chances of winning were still relatively large. In the blink of an eye, I thought that the British Duke had also sealed the chariot and rode the general together, and my heart rose again.

People in Youzhou don't know that the Zhenguo Mansion and the British Mansion are two mansions that are very different. Since the two mansions were knighted together a hundred years ago, the two mansions have developed in opposite directions.

The ancestors of the Zhenguo Mansion had ancestral teachings: children and grandchildren should be loyal to the court, be familiar with the art of war, train the army, treat the people well, do not accept concubines, and do not give birth to concubines. The children and grandchildren of the Zhenguo Mansion have all abided by the ancestral teachings from generation to generation, and there has never been a person in the mansion who bullied men and women.

And the ancestors of the British Commonwealth, after being knighted, enjoyed life extensively. He first married the daughter of a wealthy family, and then took several beautiful women as concubines. Since then, the backyard of the British government has been chaotic, and there is no distinction between the concubines. Whichever concubine is favored, the child born will be favored. The British government is not as good as the next generation, and no one in the British government knows the art of war today. The title of British Duke as the general of the chariot cavalry makes people panic.

After the end of the early dynasty, the eunuch led a team of men and horses, holding the holy decree, first to the Zhenguo Mansion to announce the decree, and then to the British Mansion to announce the decree.

The Zhenguo Mansion, which got the news in advance, opened the middle door at this time, and the old Guogong took a cadre from the Zhenguo Mansion and knelt in front of the door to receive the order.

After the eunuch recited the holy decree of sealing the town of Guogong as a hussar general, he presented the hussar general's soldier talisman. Everyone shouted long live and kowtowed to thank him, and Zhenguo Gong got up and took the holy decree and the talisman from the eunuch's hand, and handed the eunuch a red envelope. The eunuch arched his hand to him and said, "Congratulations to the Duke of Zhenguo." In the next present went to the British government to announce the decree and retired. Zhenguo Gong arched his hand: "Father-in-law works hard, go slowly." ”

After the group of people who announced the decree left, the prince of Zhenguo respectfully held the holy decree in his hand, went to the ancestral hall of his family, offered the holy decree, and bowed to him again and again.

Zhen Guogong returned to the main hall, and the family was waiting for him, discussing the relevant matters of the upcoming expedition.

The old man and the old lady sit on the upper seat, the town prince sits on the lower left seat, and the second master, the second young master, the third young master, and the second young master are below. The first seat on the right is the Duchess of Zhenguo, and the second lady is below.

The family of Zhenguo Mansion was originally closed to avoid trouble, but suddenly received this holy decree, and everyone was full of emotions. First of all, a hundred years of prosperity and stability, sudden war, never difficult to experience the battlefield, even if he was born as a military general, he also had a sense of fear. Second, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Zhenguo Mansion, and has long had the intention of looking for an opportunity to ask for guilt, and now he is entrusted with a heavy task and granted military power. Now is the time of life and death for the Zhenguo Mansion.

The grandfather of the old country said: "Now that the war is raging, we must first keep the foreign enemy, how can the country exist if it is not at home? ”

The old Duchess was worried: "Externally, we have no experience in warfare. Internally, His Majesty was very suspicious, and took Feng'er as a hostage and moved him into the palace to take care of it. This time, the Zhenguo Mansion ......," she shook her head.

Zhenguo Gong straightened his waist and bowed to the old grandfather and the old duchess and said, "Father and mother don't have to worry too much, the prince will get through the difficulties with the Zhenguo Mansion." For the sake of the land, for the people, for our house, for Ling'er, we will fight to the end. ”

The Duke of Zhenguo and the grandfather of the old country look eight points similar, both have a wide face and thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes are bright. His lower forehead looks like his mother's, so the lines of his entire face are softened. Because of his long-term training, he is burly, with a straight waist, and his whole body exudes a resolute momentum.

After saluting, the prince said to Zhenguo: "Father, the child is the son of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he should go to the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country." ”

The second young master and the third young master said hurriedly: "There is also a child, I have enjoyed the glory of the Zhenguo Mansion for many years, and I should try my best to serve the mansion with my meager strength."

Zhen Guogong looked at the three next generation men of the Guogong Mansion who were vying to go to the battlefield, and he nodded, satisfied with their bravery. He said: "I thought carefully in my heart, the prince stayed, the second child went with me, and the third stayed in the house......"

"I am the son of the world, I will go, and the second brother will stay. Shizi said eagerly.

"Boss, you stay in the capital, stay at home, and I can feel at ease on the front line. Zhen Guogong said earnestly.

The second young master who can follow him to the battlefield is excited, and the two who can't go are disappointed. In the face of war, everyone will inevitably have fear in their hearts, but many hot-blooded men have to fight to the death when they are in danger of losing their lives.

The people of the Zhenguo Mansion discussed carefully and did not mention the preparation for the expedition.

At this time, the British government also received the holy decree of canonizing the British Duke Wu Qianming as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he would soon lead a large army to the border pass.

After the British Duke received the holy decree and the military talisman, he sat in the hall with everyone in the palace drinking tea in a daze. What their own level is, the British public knows. If you want to say that he can gallop on horseback, let him hit the bull's-eye with archery. But for him to hit the bull's-eye on a galloping horse, it would have to be a matter of great luck. As for the art of war or something, no one has learned that thing since grandpa. Who would train in the heyday? Wouldn't that be suspicious of the saints?

Because the British public usually pays attention to pleasure and neglects to practice, his body has been blessed early. His swollen face was so white that there was no blood, and there were thick shadows under his eyes, all of which were the traces of his wandering around the many concubines in the backyard.

He silently thought in his heart, is it possible to practice the art of war while learning the art of war now? He also made a small calculation in his heart: In the past, the prince was the general, and the other Zhenguo Gong was the hussar general, and he listened to them himself, and did a good job for everyone, and if they did not do well, they were even more wrong. He thought of a countermeasure before he settled down a little, and he asked the people, "Who is going with me on the expedition?"

Everyone made excuses not to go. The second brother of the British duke preemptively said: "Big brother, my brother's waist flashed a few days ago, and I can't ride a horse." He thought to himself, you have won the knighthood, you want to die yourself, don't think that I will follow you to die.

The British Duke glanced at the second brother and scolded in his heart: Riding a horse hurts your waist? It is the concubines who ride you who hurt your waist, and they are not afraid of dying on people's stomachs.

The third brother of the British Duke said: "Big brother, I am a concubine, and I am not qualified to go on the expedition." "He said in his heart, "The Holy One has told you to go, and don't drag others to suffer and die with you."

The British public secretly ridiculed: When mentioning the division of the family, it is the equality of the concubines, and the expedition is the distinction of the concubines.

The prince of the British government hurriedly said: "Father, although the son is the son, the family must be guarded, you can take other brothers with you." ”

The words of the prince, the British Duke agreed, this is his eldest son, and he is also the heir of the British Prince, and he cannot take risks.

Seeing that everyone was not going, the British public sneered and said, "It's okay not to go, I don't force you." Since I don't share the hardships with the British government, don't think about sharing the joys, and when I return home, the British government will be separated. There is a division of the concubine, and there is a division of the concubine, and when the time comes, there will be trouble, and we will take it to Your Majesty to discern it in detail. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded at this time, and they were going to lose their lives if they went to the house, and they were going to leave the house if they didn't go. To go or not to go, it's really tangled.

A group of concubines and concubines of the British government also poured out to add to the chaos, and they complained to the British public that they were getting old and that the palace was going to prepare a thick dowry for them......

The British Duke looked at a bunch of tall and short girls, and was very irritable. In the past, he thought that it was a good thing to have more girls, and that using them to marry would bring benefits to the family.

He angrily said to them: "You eat more fasting and recite Buddha at home, and treat me for meritorious service, which will benefit you." If I am guilty, you will have a place to go. He pointed to the west: "Workshop." ”

The British government was in a state of panic and unrest that it had never felt before.
