Miao Xi was right, the Queen Mother was indeed on the way, and she inquired about Yang Mu's whereabouts from the Jingshifang early in the morning, and went straight to Yuling Palace.

Yang Mu didn't dare to slack off, and he guessed the queen mother's intention, probably for the sake of the royal conquest.

"Looks like I'm going to have you to keep pretending again." Yang Mu was helpless and said to the queen.

Queen Dai's eyebrows were slightly worried: "The queen mother is right, there are a few generals on the front line who are enough to deal with the war, you can sit in the palace and preside over the overall situation, why go to the border in person, what if there are three long and two short?" ”

"Why do you think so?" Yang Mu sighed and said: "You also know that from the border to the palace, it takes a day to come and go, the battlefield is full of ups and downs, changing rapidly, the fighters are fleeting, the territory of the two countries is very small, and there is not much time left for us to react. ”

"Then you have to be careful, take Shen An and Ji Ling'er with you, and don't leave you an inch." The queen said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'm just sitting on the border, there's no need not to go deep into the territory of Zheng Guo, there won't be any danger." Yang Mu patted her hand comfortingly.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over and reported the arrival of the Queen Mother.

Yang Mu and the queen glanced at each other, sighed and shook their heads, and then went to the main hall.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's intention was very clear, and she asked Yang Mu to stay in the palace, not to do anything like last time, and put herself in danger.

Yang Mu was helpless, anyway, he didn't know what the difference between staying in the palace and the imperial expedition was there, the country was so big, a big defeat was enough to wipe out the main force of a country, and when the time came, wouldn't it be driven straight into the city by the army?

Therefore, there is not much difference between commanding at the front line and sitting in the rear, it is the army on the front line that determines the fate of a country, and if the battle is really lost, it is just that one dies first and the other dies later.

Of course, the concerns of the elders are also justified, a pampered emperor is on the front line, just like a mother who is worried about the children who are about to go to school in other places, not particularly worried about safety, but a kind of confusion when not around.

This phenomenon, in psychology, is called the limb effect.

But there is no way, the reason doesn't make sense, the explanation still has to be explained, a good meal, finally stabilized the queen mother, the queen helped to say a few good words on the side, and properly described the bright future of the grandson who was about to hold her grandson, and the queen mother finally reluctantly agreed.

But there is also a requirement, during this time, there must be a concubine to sleep every night.

As for who the concubine is, looking at the entire harem, there is only one concubine.

……

For half a month, the entire Cangguo was in a state of high-speed operation, from the officials to the common people, everyone knew that a war was coming.

And in the big camp on the outskirts of the city, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion have been practicing the formation all day long in the past ten days, and they are warming up for the last battle for the upcoming fight.

The 15,000 volunteer army did not disappoint, although they were holding inferior weapons that had been eliminated, but everyone cheered up and seized the last period of hard work, and at the same time received ideological education every morning and evening, and made clear the goal of defeating Zheng - overthrowing the tyrannical Zheng, earning military merits, equalizing the land, and rescuing the Li people!

In fact, this is also the reason why Yang Mu really dares to rest assured that these 15,000 people will be co-opted, because the proportion of peasant soldiers among them is too large, just like a blank piece of paper, it is easy to be rebelled and brainwashed, and it will be replaced by the more than 5,000 soldiers in the bandit mountain range.

On September 20 of the first year of Taiding, a grand oath-taking ceremony was held outside the imperial city, and the crowd was crowded, and it was boiling.

Because Yang Mu's prestige is flourishing, the public opinion of the Northern Expedition is fundamentally one-sided in the whole people, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Education cooperated, and a lot of propaganda work was done among the people during this time, so the people of the entire Cangguo believed that this battle must be fought.

There is another important reason, and that is the Meritorious Lord!

Whether it is a soldier or a soldier's family, the desire for war is not weaker than the obsession with the land, because only in war can you reap military merits and change the fate of yourself and your family!

At the same time, the high pre-war atmosphere also gave birth to a sign of anomality, and many ordinary people spontaneously carried food, such as eggs and rice balls, on both sides of the road to distribute to the soldiers who were about to go on the expedition.

After the oath ceremony, Yang Mu stood on the high platform, appointed Wei Zhongquan as the commander of the Northern Expedition, led the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Legion, coordinated the dispatch of the four major legions and the rebel army, and also appointed the general Sima Hong as the deputy marshal, responsible for the war in the Bandit Mountains and the Shen Kingdom, and could act cheaply in case of emergency.

Subsequently, the army was drawn out, the Qinglong Legion was in front, the righteous army was behind, Yang Mu's emperor Long Yuan was in the middle of the two armies, with 400 guards guarding, all the way, under the farewell of the two people, slowly went north.

The two armies, with a total of more than 20,000 people, carried a large number of supplies, weapons, and baggage, and the speed was much slower than that of ordinary people, anyway, the goal was just to rush to Jiangshun City before it was completely dark, so they were not very eager and walked slowly.

About in the evening, he finally arrived outside Jiangshun City, and Zhu Xi, who had already learned the news, led a group of generals of the Xuanwu Legion to greet the holy driver outside the city, and then lived in a mansion set up as a temporary palace.

In the evening, Yang Mu summoned the commanders of the three armies and spread out the map in the tent.

In general, this time the Northern Expedition was a total of four teams, except for the White Tiger Legion guarding the bandit mountain range and holding strategic points, the remaining three major legions plus the rebel army all had to be invested in this frontal battlefield.

And judging from the current situation, the Vermilion Bird Legion in Wangfeng City cannot be used.

The reason is very simple, Wangfeng City and Jiangshun City are the gateways to the north of Cangguo, geographically speaking, the north of the two cities is a river that is not wide or narrow, Zheng Guo calls it Zheng River, Cangguo calls it Cangjiang, anyway, they say it is their own.

And Jiangshun City is in the upper reaches of the Cangjiang River, Wangfeng City is in the lower reaches, and the names of the two cities are also derived from this, which is taken from the meaning of smooth river flow and abundant grains.

It is precisely for this reason that if the army wants to attack, it generally needs to use ships, and it can be said that this large river is a natural national border.

So of course, the terrain of Wangfeng City is lower than that of Jiang Shun City, like a gourd mouth, sandwiched between Jiang Shun City and the continuous mountains and hills, it can be said that it is the throat of Cangguo, the last time Zheng Kang waved his army south, the army was assembled here, and then went straight to the imperial city of Cangguo.
