The order of the seventh section of the military department was very urgent, and the official document sent down required the Guards Battalion to sort out the battle list within one day, report it to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and set out immediately tomorrow. At this time, Wu Ming couldn't care so much, and early in the morning, he called out a large group of sleepy-eyed soldiers of the Guards Battalion from the Guards Palace.

In this battle of Hanning, the guard battalion and a group of elites led by Xiahouba died for a while at the Nanning City Gate in order to protect the water sluice, and dozens of people were injured. Fortunately, there are more than two hundred martial artists from Nanning Academy to supplement, and now with the commander of Wu Ming, there are just six hundred and ten people.

Yang Xiong's training was fruitful, even those new martial artists were neatly lined up at the back of the team at this time, majestic and mighty. If you look at it from the standing, it's no different from the others. But Wu Ming knew that the only battle that these two hundred or so freshmen had experienced was the Hanning Guard Battle, most of them had only shot a few arrows at the head of the city, and some of them even lacked experience in fighting the enemy, these people were on the battlefield, not to mention the elite warriors, I am afraid that sometimes they were not even an ordinary veteran.

In other words, the combat strength of the Guards Battalion, which is now more than 600 people, must be reduced by at least half.

In a trance, it has been almost a year since I returned to Nanning last year. The Guards Battalion was still overstretched. The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty attached great importance to this team that was related to their own lives, and if they were generally missing, they would select warriors to fill in the matter in the near future. This kind of lack of staff is unheard of. Perhaps, Tao Yu's analysis is right, Zhu Huai has been guarding himself intentionally or unintentionally.

"My lord, you summoned us early in the morning, are you going to go south?"

Yang Xiong's mind is more delicate, and now he is the most talkative with Wu Ming. Seeing him standing at the front of the line, he was stunned, and asked in a low voice. Wu Ming was suddenly awakened, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Yang is right, I have already received the news yesterday. Guangyang has now been assisted by the Southern Barbarians, and Zhu Du Du did not notice it for a while, and suffered a big loss. The prime minister wants us to prepare immediately, and tomorrow we will go ahead with reinforcements with the Storm Army to reassure the army. ”

Everyone immediately looked at each other, although they had received the news early in the morning, but everyone had not expected such a hurry. Most of the newly joined martial artists in the rear showed joy. For them, going into battle to kill the enemy means merit and glory. Only those members of the Xuanwu team who stood in the front row showed a solemn look on their faces, because they knew that the southern barbarians were not as weak as they imagined, and last year's southern expedition was still a nightmare in the hearts of most people.

Ge Yi's words are usually not much, so he stood up coldly and asked: "So urgent for our reinforcements, could it be that those warriors of the Southern Barbarians also appeared?" ”

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Brother Ge is right, it is estimated that the one who led the sneak attack this time is the Southern Barbarian's Flame Warrior for a long time. Ge Yi snorted lightly, and there was regret in his tone: "What, isn't there a Teng field general Zalun?" ”

"I don't have any news about this, even the appearance of Jiuzhi, I guessed it from the emergency documents." Speaking of this, he glanced at the newly joined martial artists behind him and said, "This person is an eighth-stage master, so don't take it lightly." ”

The joy on the faces of those martial artists in the back row gradually cooled down. After all, an eight-dan master. For these low-level martial artists of the first and second stages, it is the existence of the zài who looks up. When I heard that I was going to fight against the eight-dan master, many people began to cramp in their legs and stomachs, and they dared to have half a contempt there. Ge Yi said coldly: "That's very good, count me as one this time." ”

Ge Yi rushed south, estimating that the real purpose was Zalun. It was during the night battle in Xinhe that Zaren killed Zhao Fei, the former White Tigers of the Guards Battalion. Wu Ming and Zhao Fei were quite unfriendly before, although they knew the purpose of Ge Yi's visit, they didn't have much to say. I could only nod and say, "In that case, this time I will trouble Brother Ge to go south with me." ”

In order to avoid losing the upper hand in the battle of high-level martial artists, this time the military department asked the four brigades of the Guards Battalion to have at least two people accompany Wu Ming to the south. Now the Qinglong team Zheng Ge Yi has decided, but the remaining few people have made it difficult for Wu Ming, Yang Xiong has an old relationship with the Southern Barbarians after all, and Wu Ming really can't bear to make it difficult for him to go south.

And after this expedition, even for the sake of façade, the Guard Palace, the Songzi Temple and the current Commander's Mansion will definitely need someone to stay, Lei Fei'er, as a woman, has an old relationship with Tao Yu and Xiaoling after all, and it is much more convenient to communicate with Yuqing. You can't go south. The most suitable Tian Hong and Xiaobi were newly married, and Wu Ming himself was forced to do so, but he didn't want the White Tiger team with the best relationship with him to suffer from the newlywed parting with him.

He weighed in his heart for a long time, but he was still anxious, and he really didn't know how to speak. At this time, Yang Xiong stood up and said: "My lord, these little guys are in battle for the first time, and I don't feel at ease, so let me go south with you, and supervise them by the way, so as not to be lazy." ”

In fact, he himself is less than thirty years old, but at this time, he relies on the old and sells the old to call these martial artists little guys. However, Wu Ming knew that this reason was just what Yang Xiong said to himself, and it is estimated that he also saw his own difficulties, so he did it mostly for himself. However, Yang Xiong is both civil and military, and his attributes are compatible with him, and he is skillful in cooperation. When the two of them are together, even if they meet the top martial artists of the ninth rank, they have to fight. He was the most suitable candidate for this southern expedition, he glanced at Yang Xiong gratefully and said, "So, thank you Brother Yang." ”

He turned his head and said to everyone: "Since this is the case, then it is so decided, I and Brother Yang and Brother Ge will lead the three brigades of Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Baihu to the south together, and Brother Fei'er and Brother Tian will lead the Suzaku team to stay in Nanning." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Lei Fei'er and Tian Hong had already taken a step forward at the same time. Tian Hong said even louder: "My lord, no, I want to go too." ”

Wu Ming sank his face and said coldly: "The military order is like a mountain, what's the matter, does Lord Tian still want to taste the taste of confinement again?" "Last time, Tian Hong was drunk and crazy at night and ran to save Xiaobi. Although this matter was not dangerous, he was also locked up by Wu Ming for several months, and he was not released until this kid's wedding.

Although Tian Hongren was rude, he was not stupid, and he knew that it was Wu Ming who was taking care of him. It's just that Wu Ming used military law to pressure him, and he didn't have much to say. I could only stand there with a red face, not knowing what to do. Wu Ming didn't care about him, turned his head to Lei Fei'er and said, "Fei'er, Niangniang, Yuqing and Xiaoling will trouble you to take care of it." ”

Lei Feier wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she just sighed in the end. glanced at Yang Xiong, then turned his head to Wu Ming and said, "Okay, you, be careful!" ”
