He Nuo's expression moved slightly, he also knew that Cangguo was one of the four major vassal states of the Jinyang Dynasty after all, although there were not many troops in the country, but the 60,000 black armor army was really not to be underestimated, and it was even more worth mentioning that Cangguo also had one of the four princes of Jinyang, Wenxi Hou Ying Wenquan, that was not an easy role to deal with, he was not in a hurry to express his position, but meditated in his heart for a while, and then he stood up and said to He Liang, the captain of the guard beside him:

"Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone immediately, and I'll use it later."

"Yes!" He Liang is He Nuo's personal guard captain, and he is extremely capable in his usual life and work, and he is ready soon.

He Nuo walked to the desk, picked up the brush, hesitated slightly, and secretly brewed. Immediately, it was done in one go, and the pen dragon and phoenix danced and wrote.

He Nuo wrote several sheets in a row, blew them gently, and waited for the ink on them to dry.

"Immediately arrange the envoy of Hongying and distribute it to various places!"

When the ministers saw this scene, they all had countless questions in their hearts, but no one was the first to ask, and it was only after He Nuo had done all this that Chu Xiuneng asked: "King Jin, what should I do next, please make it clear." ”

He Nuo didn't answer directly, but just asked: "It's a matter of time before we use troops against Xicang, otherwise it will be really difficult to wait until our people are all turned against each other and then take the next step." Then now I ask, who wants to be a pioneer in Xicang? ”

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't understand what the reason He Nuo asked.

Because as we all know, the pioneer Zhao Junmao fought bravely, and the pioneer battalion under his command was the most elite unit of He Nuo's army.

Combined with what He Nuo sent to Hongying's envoy just now, everyone didn't know what He Nuo thought, so no one spoke first.

However, Zhao Junmao, as a martial artist, did not care so much, in his heart, he also thought that as a pioneer, who else was more suitable than himself, so he walked out with his head held high and said loudly: "Junmao is willing to go." ”

I saw the familiar four-character voice: "Jun Mao is willing to go!" He Nuo was a little moved in his heart, remembering that so many hard battles and difficult battles were fought by Zhao Junmao at the front, but this time the conquest of Xicang, the situation was different, He Nuo frowned, seemed to remember something, and said softly to Zhao Junmao: "I know" but did not say anything.

Seeing such a reaction, those people above the court were all human spirits, and they immediately realized that the vanguard of this expedition might not be Zhao Junmao, but who was suitable? These people began to rack their brains, and their eyes roamed the court.

He Nuo took a deep breath, he understood that Zhao Junmao was brave and brave, but at this moment, the capture of Xicang was a combination of rigidity and softness, because Xicang had fewer people and more land, and it had rich horse resources, so it was not possible to blindly use force, but to know how to win people's hearts, so this pioneer candidate, courage is not the first important, more importantly, it is necessary to know how to win people's hearts.

He Nuo's eyes flickered, and he already had the most suitable candidate in his heart.

Meng Xiaochen and He Nuo have the same heart, he is a native of Xirong, grew up in the west, is very familiar with Xicangguo, and is the best choice for the forward of this Western Expedition.

It's just that now Meng Xiaochen is in a high position in the Jin Kingdom, and letting a figure like him serve as a striker is actually a bit demeaning to his identity, so He Nuo hesitated and didn't say it.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaochen took the initiative to take a step forward, took a deep breath and said, "The minister is willing to serve as a pioneer and conquer Xirong!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone had a feeling that it was reasonable, but it was unexpected.

He Nuo stood up, greeted Meng Xiaochen in person, and nodded: "So, it's hard for General Meng." ”

Late at night, Jin Kingdom, Meng Mansion.

He Nuo was dressed in civilian clothes and drank opposite Meng Xiaochen. He took out a letter wrapped in red silk and handed it to Meng Xiaochen.

Meng Xiaochen opened it, showed surprise on his face, and looked at it carefully for a long time.

He Nuo smiled beside him and drank a drink alone, without disturbing.

After reading it, Meng Xiaochen took a deep breath and said, "I knew that this expedition to the west was very important, but I didn't expect it to be so important. He Nuo, the letters you sent to various places this time have almost gathered all the elite soldiers. That's 200,000 troops! To deal with Xicang, it seems that there are not so many people! ”

He Nuo smiled and said solemnly: "You can't hide anything from Xiaochen!" I have a bold plan, Xiaochen, do you support me? ”

Meng Xiaochen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Although it was only two short words, He Nuo listened to it in his heart and was very moved, he hadn't said what the plan was, Meng Xiaochen always supported him so unhesitatingly.

He Nuo said: "Now the peasant uprising in the north of the Jinyang Dynasty has not subsided, after receiving the news, the Ningxiang Marquis of Jinyang took the main force to the north to quell the peasant uprising, Jinyang City is now empty of guards, I want to attack the slogan of Xicang Kingdom, in fact, I want to directly pounce on Jinyang City!" ”

Although he was mentally prepared, Meng Xiaochen was still taken aback after hearing such a bold idea as He Nuo.

He Nuo smiled: "So I said it was a big idea, hey, at the moment we are not Ning Xianghou's opponents, and now that the peasants are revolting, he has fallen into the mud, which is a great opportunity for us to sneak attack!" Although it is a bit risky, I don't want to give up this opportunity, otherwise, we will step into Jinyang City, and I don't know what year and month it is. ”

Meng Xiaochen didn't speak, and fell into deep thought.

He Nuo understood him very well, didn't bother, craned his neck, and took a big sip.

Between the two, there was silence.

After a long time, He Nuo cupped one cup after another, and his face flushed slightly.

Meng Xiaochen stood up suddenly, walked to He Nuo's side, poured him a glass of wine, and then picked up a glass of wine himself, and the two of them drank it all.

Meng Xiaochen gently spit out three words: "I support you." ”

He Nuo stood up and hugged Meng Xiaochen heavily, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

That night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the two had no sleep.

After the major policy was decided, He Nuo began to make intensive preparations, his heart was full of expectations, looking forward to the smooth implementation of this plan, and he also decided to hold a grand troop dispatch ceremony, of course, he wanted to use this ceremony to create a false impression that their target was Xicang Kingdom.

And the only ones who know the true purpose are He Nuo and Meng Xiaochen.

The sky was bright, He Nuo got up early in the morning, he knew that there were many things to do today, he deliberately wore formal clothes and stepped onto the parade platform.

A giant dragon is depicted on the background of the parade stand, which is very majestic and makes people look solemn and solemn.

Although He Nuo is not very old, under the backdrop of the dragon, people dare not look directly and feel a sense of awe.

At the beginning, it was a ceremony to worship the heavens, and He Nuo personally sacrificed to the heavens, meditating in his heart, praying that this expedition would go smoothly and that he would be able to achieve the set goals.
