At this time, outside the reception hall of King An's Mansion, two rows of soldiers were standing opposite each other, guarding outside. Standing in the east direction were the guards of King An's Mansion, and standing in the west direction were a group of soldiers with strong bodies and wild breaths.

When Wan'er arrived with He Jin and Zilong, she saw those soldiers who were not her own palace, and knew that this time, there were other people who came back with her brother.

The soldier saw that Wan'er was about to step forward to stop her. When He Jin saw it, he couldn't help but be angry, and said loudly: "This is our beloved daughter of King An, who came here on the order of the prince!"

When the soldier heard this, he couldn't help but snort and retreated. Wan'er didn't care, turned around and smiled apologetically at Zilong, and walked briskly inside with Zilong.

When Zilong passed by this group of soldiers, he also sensed these people with his breath, and found that these people were full of murderous aura, and it seemed that they were battle-hardened warriors.

After entering the inside, I saw King An sitting on the main seat, talking to an official wearing an embroidered lion flutter suit and an elegant face next to him, and saw Wan'er and the three of them come in, and let Wan'er and Zilong and others take their seats.

Zilong saw that the person sitting next to King An had the demeanor of a military general, and at first glance he was a senior general in the army, and there was a general and a young and personable son sitting below, Zilong saw that it should be the little prince.

The general who was talking to King An seemed to know Wan'er, and said with a smile at Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are even more beautiful!"

"Wan'er has seen Uncle Jiang, but Uncle Jiang has an overreputation!" Wan'er said as a courtesy.

"Hahahaha! I've always only told the truth!" the general surnamed Jiang laughed.

"I don't know if Uncle Jiang came to the palace today, but I have something important to discuss with my father?" Wan'er asked directly.

"Hey!" the general surnamed Jiang sighed heavily when he heard this, and said, "Recently, there was a letter from the dock fort in the border area, saying that a Tartar appeared near the Great Wall!

"Ah, Uncle Jiang, are you going to lead the troops?" asked Wan'er.

"Yes!" the general surnamed Jiang sighed and said, "In previous years, these Tartars were all nested here, and they didn't dare to make a mistake! Why are you making trouble now, I was ordered to go to stop it!"

The general surnamed Jiang turned around and smiled at King An, and said: "Lord Wang, I am going to lead the troops to the battle, at least I have to take most of the soldiers and horses! But Ningxia is the foundation of our army and one of the important towns on the nine sides, but I am not at ease.

"General Jiang is polite!" King An said loudly at this time, "I am the vassal king, and it is my responsibility to defend the land!" Since General Jiang has entrusted it to me, I will definitely return this Ningxia City to you completely!"

"That's good, that's good!" Jiang Zongbing smiled lightly, only to see him wave lightly behind him, and said, "Qiu Yue!"

A general in battle armor stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "My lord, what do you command?"

Jiang Zongbing did not look at him, but pointed at him and said to King An: "Lord Wang, this is my right-hand man, a guerrilla general, Qiu Yue! This time, I left him and his headquarters to be dispatched by the prince! The prince can only punish him, and he doesn't need to be polite to me!"

King An first raised his hand to Qiu Yue and smiled, and then said to Jiang Zongbing: "Jiang Zongbing is polite! I am just a vassal king, where can I punish the military attache of the imperial court at will!"

Jiang Zongbing smiled noncommittally, turned back to Qiu Yue and said, "I remember that after I left, I asked the prince for everything, no matter how big or small, understand?"

Qiu Yue comprehended, nodded, and said, "I understand my humble duties, please rest assured that the chief military officer!"

"Well, that's good!" Jiang Zongbing nodded with satisfaction, and said to King An, "The military situation is urgent, I won't delay much, Ningxia City should be entrusted to the prince!"

While speaking, this Jiang Zongbing stood up at the same time, arched his hand at King An, and prepared to leave. Wan'er stepped forward at this time and said, "Uncle Jiang, no matter how urgent the military situation is, you can't leave without eating! You come and go in such a hurry, people who don't know will think that our Anwangfu is shabby!"

"Haha, Wan'er's words are serious!" Jiang Zongbing seemed to attach great importance to Wan'er, and said to Wan'er, "This time it is a military emergency, I won't tell you, the army has been assembled, just wait for me to go and pull, if I am a little late, I will be tired and the three armies will wait for a long time, it's not good!"

Wan'er still needed to be persuaded again, and King An said: "Okay, Wan'er, don't mess around! General Jiang is in the army, how can he hesitate, and when he returns triumphantly, isn't it also a happy thing for you to celebrate your Uncle Jiang?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Zongbing nodded incessantly and said to Wan'er, "Wan'er, you just wait for me to return triumphantly, and you can make me something to eat!"

"Okay!" Wan'er stepped out of the way and said, "Wan'er is here to wish Uncle Jiang success and a triumphant return!"

"Haha!" Jiang Zongbing nodded, didn't say more, and walked out directly. When passing by Zilong and He Jin, he glanced at Zilong without a trace, nodded unconsciously, and disappeared at the door of the hall.

When General Jiang walked away, King An opened his mouth at this time and said to Qiu Yue, who was standing aside: "General Qiu!"

"The end will be!" There was a shaking of the nail leaf, and Qiu Yue clenched his fists to take the order.

"This time, General Jiang is going to Jiayuguan with the army, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while, I want to know, how is the defense of Ningxia City now!"

"According to the report from the Border Dock Fort, this time the Tartars are menacing and there are many people, so ......" Qiu Yue pondered for a moment before he said.

"So what?" Wan'er couldn't help but ask when she saw Qiu Yue talking hesitantly.

"So this time, General Jiang took away most of the men and horses, leaving only 10,000 soldiers to defend!" Qiu Yue stubbornly finished speaking. Anyway, there are only 10,000 border troops left in Ningxia City, and King An will know sooner or later.

"10,000 soldiers?" King An couldn't help but be surprised, this Ningxia is one of the nine border towns, and usually, the full strength is at least more than 60,000 border troops. But this time, General Jiang took away 50,000 troops and left only 10,000, which is really important!

"Yes, there are only 10,000 soldiers, including 1,000 horse troops and 9,000 infantry troops!" Qiu Yue knew that for a long time from now on, even if he ate under King An's subordinates, he would report 1510 to King An in its entirety.

"The horse army is only ...... thousand" King An has a headache again, although the Ming military system, the horse army is indeed small, it is the most sophisticated Beijing army, and there is only a horse army with 3,000 battalions.

However, the imaginary enemies of the Nine Sides are the remnants of Yuanmeng, Tatar and Warat in the north. Of these two nomadic forces, the most powerful is the Mongol rangers. If you want to defeat them, it is essential to have a moderate number of horses in the army.

The horse army on the nine sides is also the highest proportion of horse army equipment in the country, almost as much as 30%. However, of the 10,000 troops who stayed on the border, there were only 1,000 horse troops left, and the proportion was only 10%, so King An was not surprised.

King An has a deep friendship with Jiang Zongbing, and he couldn't help frowning, it seems that the battle on the border of the Great Wall is likely to be very fierce and will last for a long time.

After pondering for a long time, King An suddenly said to a young man behind him: "Zhi'er!"

This young man had been wandering outside the object, and when he heard King An's call, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at King An sluggishly.

Seeing this young man like this, King An couldn't help coughing heavily, and said sternly: "Zhi'er!"

This sound was like a yellow bell heavy aluminum, and it woke up the young man at once. I saw that he was stunned, just when he saw Wan'er covering his mouth and chuckling, and seeing Zilong also smiling, he couldn't help but secretly hold a grudge in his heart, and said respectfully to King An: "Father, what do you command?"

"Haven't you always wanted to gallop across the battlefield with a sword?" Wang An also blamed the young man, but asked lightly.

"Huh?" said the young man, before he could react, "what does my father mean?"

"Now your Uncle Jiang is going to lead the troops north to the Great Wall and fight with the Tartars! Take away most of the border army! But Ningxia is an important town on the nine borders, the fortress of the country, and it can't be so empty, so I want you to bring a thousand palace guards to temporarily join the border army and enrich the strength of the border army!" King An thought about it and said slowly.

"Huh?" the young man looked at King An with a happy face and said, "Is this true?"

"Hmph! I don't have any jokes!" King An couldn't help but regret a little when he saw that this young man was so unbearable, and said to Qiu Yue, "I let me, an unsuccessful child, take a thousand horseback guards to join the border army and enrich your strength, do you think it's good?"

"This is something that can't be sought!" Originally, Qiu Yue was also distressed, this Jiang General took away most of the border army, leaving only a thousand horse troops, how can this be able to defend Ningxia, but Wang An, who had just become his top boss, directly helped him solve this problem. Qiu Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at King An.

King An was also very happy to see Qiu Yue so happy, he looked at Qiu Yue with deep eyes, and smiled meaningfully. At this time, Qiu Yue suddenly reacted, and said to King An: "Lord, since the little prince came in person, he can't be idle, I think the little prince can be appointed as the supervisor of the army, responsible for commanding the whole army, do you think it's okay?"

"This is not good!" King An said with a smile, looking at Zhu Zhi, who was still a little excited and unable to extricate himself, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Qiu Yue, "My child, although he has good talent, has been locked up in the palace and has never gone out for half a step!

The little prince was still very excited, but this Qiu Yue was really fooled, and he actually recommended himself to be the coach. Unexpectedly, his father didn't know what to think, such a good thing, he retreated directly.

Just as he was about to speak out a few words of defense, the little prince saw King An's stern eyes, and he sighed in his heart, and his words were full of words, so he had to hold it in his stomach.

Qiu Yue naturally knows how to repay the peach, not to mention that now he is still under the command of King An, at the moment Qiu Yue said: "The little prince has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and his attainments in the art of war should be good! What he lacks is just military experience! I don't think it's as good as this, he still serves as the supervisor of the army, but he will handle the military affairs with me in the front, and when the experience is enough, so that the prince is satisfied, and then he will command the army, do you think this will be done?"

"Haha!" King An nodded with satisfaction and said, "General Qiu's suggestion is very good, then let Zhi'er take a thousand horse army guards and serve as the supervisor first, so as to see the after-effects!"
