The next day, when Cao Yue and Cao Bianjiao went out to inspect the military camp in Datong City, they told him the news he had inquired from Sun Chuanting last night.

Hearing that the imperial court wanted Cao Yue to hand over the military power of the Datong Army and let another person command, Cao Bianjiao's face changed instantly, "Fifth brother, you can't agree to this, the Datong Army was built by you, in the war with Jiannu, you made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, why can't the imperial court tolerate you?" Let you hand over the military power and return to Beijing to supervise the Beijing camp, this is a bright rise and a secret surrender, just don't want our Cao family brothers to command the elite army, this is someone in the court who can't tolerate our Cao family, we can't let others deal with us like this!"

"Cousin, what you said makes sense, but we should know that it is not someone else who is wary of us, and the current emperor, so the younger brother has no other choice but to obey." Cao Yue said, smiling indifferently, "But please don't worry, cousin, the younger brother has already thought of a countermeasure, the matter of the Admiral Jingying will not be accepted, and he will invite himself to Nanjing, the Admiral Nanzhili Emperor may not agree, but the Admiral Nanjing should agree, and the younger brother will train a new army with the task of Admiral Nanjing." The south is rich, the population is large, and the folk customs are also fierce, and most of the Qi family troops who resisted the Japanese were composed of southern soldiers. The younger brother is confident that he can train a man with better combat power than the Datong army. ”

"What, you still want to go to Nanjing, isn't that even more statusless?" Cao Bianjiao was a little difficult to accept such a situation, he felt that Cao Yue had pardoned his exploits in the Battle of Datong, and the imperial court had to reward him heavily, after all, no general had been able to defeat Jiannu like this for so many years, although Cao Yue was young, it was not an exaggeration for the imperial court to give exceptional promotions and rewards. If Cao Yue went to Nanjing, it would chill many people, including him.

Cao Yue had to be patient and told Cao Bianjiao some of the situations that Sun Chuanting said, as well as his own thoughts.

After listening to Cao Yue's explanation, Cao Bianjiao's anger disappeared a little, but he still couldn't turn around.

In the end, Cao Yue said: "Cousin, in fact, the Datong army can be under your command, after all, you are now the commander of Liaodong, and the soldiers and horses in Liaodong are under your command, even if the imperial court newly appoints a Datong general soldier, and I can also find a way to take away some of the men and horses, I believe that a new army can be trained soon." As long as the Datong army is not controlled by the enemies of the Cao family, it is not a big deal. Also, most of our Cao family's property has now been used by me in the Datong Army, and now my mother and second brother are not very mixed in Nanjing, if I go to Nanjing to take up an important position, then the Cao family can have a good development in Nanjing. ”

In the end, it was Cao Yue's last few words that moved Cao Bianjiao, and he did not speak out against it again, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to Cao Yue's decision.

An edict soon came from the imperial court, commending Sun Chuanting and Cao Yue for their exploits in the defense of Datong, and also giving some rewards. Of course, the reward is very pitiful, and Emperor Chongzhen has no money to reward meritorious soldiers. At this point, Cao Yue and Sun Chuanting didn't have any expectations, anyway, there was already a poor worm like Zhu Chuanqi who took out his family property to reward meritorious soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao's victory over Jiannu was also rewarded by the imperial court, and the edict asked Cao Bianjiao to return to the command of Sun Chuanting to prepare for the follow-up counterinsurgency action.

The imperial edict also ordered Sun Chuanting and Cao Yue to return to Beijing together, and the emperor wanted to reward them in person and make new arrangements.

After receiving the edict from the imperial court, Cao Yue and Sun Chuanting also prepared to leave Datong for Beijing, and the military affairs of the Datong army were handed over to Cao Bianjiao.

Before preparing to leave Datong, Cao Yue also went to find the red lady who was still recuperating from his injuries in private.

The red lady was seriously injured last time, and she got better after more than ten days, but she has not healed yet.

The two maids of the Red Lady, Xiaoyun and Ruyi, were still missing, and Cao Yue arranged another person to serve the Red Lady.

During this time, Cao Yue's careful care, as well as Cao Yue's courage to lead the army to resist Jiannu, and finally won a big victory, which made the red lady have a better impression of this little man, and there were some indescribable feelings.

In the room, Cao Yue and the Red Lady sat opposite each other, he looked at the Red Lady with a smile and said: "Red Girl, your body has basically recovered, and now the situation is slowly calming down, Jiannu has retreated, and your righteous army has also retreated in the direction of Henan, you can leave Datong, go to find your two maids, and seek benefits for your future life!"

"Do you welcome the slave family to continue to stay in Datong?" Although it had already been decided that she would leave Datong and go to find her two maids when her body was in good shape, when these words came out of Cao Yue's mouth, the red lady was still quite disappointed, and couldn't help muttering.

"I have received an edict from the imperial court to enter Beijing on the same day, maybe the imperial court has another appointment, and I will not return to Datong in the future, so if you stay in Datong, you may not be able to see me in the future!"

"I see!" The red lady felt a little better in her heart, and immediately asked: "Where are you going to serve in the future?" ”

"I don't know for the time being, this is the emperor's business, I can only obey the arrangement of the imperial court!" Cao Yue didn't want to reveal more to the red lady.

"Okay, tomorrow, the slave family will pack up and leave Datong," the red lady said, smiling at Cao Yue, "I hope General Cao can be promoted because of this exploit, the slave family congratulates you first!"

The bright smile of the red lady was extremely beautiful, which made Cao Yue feel a little dazzled, his heartbeat was a little accelerated, and he quickly stood up and said, "Then you can rest well, before leaving Datong, there are still many things to be busy, I'll go and get busy first!"

Cao Yue only sat for a while and was about to leave, and the red lady was lost again, but she was a woman, and she couldn't directly say that she hoped that a man would stay and talk to her more, so she could only say helplessly: "Then don't disturb General Cao's busy business, the slave family will clean up and leave Datong early tomorrow morning." There may not be a way to say goodbye to General Cao at that time, so let's say goodbye today!"

As he spoke, he saluted Cao Yue Yingying.

Cao Yue arched his hand as a return gift, turned around and walked in the direction of the door.

The red lady also got up and prepared to send Cao Yue.

Walking to the door, when Cao Yue was about to open the door, he remembered one more thing, stopped and said to the red lady: "I have a letter to give to Li Yan, if there is a chance, ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation, and a warm body crashed into his arms. It turned out to be a red lady who was a little restless, but she didn't notice that Cao Yue stopped and turned around, and actually hit Cao Yue's arms headlong. In a panic, she quickly struggled. And Cao Yue instinctively reached out to help, but the two hugged each other like this, and Cao Yue's hand just happened to caress the tall chest of the red lady.

"Huh?!" With a soft exclamation, the red lady blushed drunk, and her body trembled slightly because of nervousness.

Looking at the red lady's flushed face and extremely pampered expression, Cao Yue suddenly short-circuited his brain, and a very ridiculous thought arose, and he kissed it involuntarily.

The warm and soft contact made the bodies of the two of them tremble......
